Chapter 484: Chapter 460 Professional Level_1
The next day.
Lin Yuan put on his Prince of Lanling’s costume and headed towards the music center by car.
Qin Continent was the Land of Music, which convenient for Lin Yuan since he did not have to go to other continents.
Most impressive music programs were basically held in Qin Continent.
Driver’s seat.
Gu Dong, with his sunglasses on, said: “Today we’re not going through the underground parking lot, but straight from the main entrance. Shooting starts directly from getting off the car.”
“Sure.”
Lin Yuan had no objections.
When the car stopped at the entrance, Lin Yuan looked out the window and noticed numerous spectators assembled outside the barricade line at the entrance of the music center.
Two members of the program crew in suits approached and opened Lin Yuan’s car door.
As soon as Lin Yuan stepped out of the car, countless screams erupted around him:
“Prince of Lanling!”
“Go for it, Prince of Lanling!”

“I will always support you, Prince of Lanling!”
“…”
With the first broadcast of “The Masked Singer”, Prince of Lanling, as the most trending topic, was already familiar to the audience.
Perhaps some people came specifically for Prince of Lanling today.
Even if everyone didn’t know who was under the mask of Prince of Lanling.
Lin Yuan waved to the crowd and then entered the concert hall under the guidance of two program’s bodyguards.
Shortly after Lin Yuan, the Swan arrived.
There were also tremendous cheers, no less passionate than those for Lin Yuan, amongst which a person shouted:
“I will always support you, Swan!”
The same guy who shouted he would always support Prince of Lanling.
Tongtong had been waiting at the entrance: “Prince of Lanling, let’s go to the rehearsal hall first…”
“Okay.”
Lin Yuan was leading the way.
Tongtong kept pace: “Have you seen this season’s music charts? The song “Bracing the Chill” has shot up to the fifth place. It’s unfortunate that our program was broadcasted a week after the competition started, otherwise the ranking would be even higher. But there’s still a long month ahead, so I guess getting into the top three shouldn’t be a problem. The only difficulty would be getting the champion song because the first two songs are Maestro’s masterpieces.”
“Okay.”
Yes, “Bracing the Chill” had joined the season’s competition.
When new songs appear, they are generally added to the music season competition. Under normal circumstances, it’s not impossible for “Bracing the Chill” to take first place, but unfortunately, Maestro had also participated in this competition.
Once Maestro makes a move, it’s difficult for other songs to get a chance.
Even if “Bracing the Chill” had a nice melody and the songwriter was Xian Yu, it still couldn’t cover up the inferiority of the lyrics.
Moreover, the melody was only nice. It really depended on what song it was compared to.
If compared to songs like “Red Rose”, it was obviously inferior. Now that was a real trendy hit!
A good live reaction?
That was because the live performance of “Bracing the Chill” was stunning. One person was able to perform two different voices; it was so shocking that it made your scalp tingle.
But…
When everyone listens to music on their player, there’s no visual effects to enhance the experience; they couldn’t see a person singing with two different voices.
Even if they knew beforehand that the two voices were sung by the same person, the shock value would be much less.
So Lin Yuan didn’t care whether he was first or not.
He originally participated in the competition, not for the competition ranking——
Although they seem the same, they are actually very different.
The biggest difference being:
If he wasn’t up for the competition, but purely aiming for the competition’s ranking, Lin Yuan would definitely not use “Bracing the Chill” to compete.
The same logic applies.
For today’s competition, if Lin Yuan was only vying for first place, he wouldn’t have chosen the song “Boy”.
…
The rehearsal lasted for an entire hour.
When he felt that he rehearsed sufficiently, Lin Yuan stopped rehearsing.
Because the singers who were going to record the second episode tonight needed to maintain their freshness and passion for the song.
It was pointless to go on singing the same song over and over.
Moreover, the song was quite long, playing the piano continuously would also be tiring.
Leaving the rehearsal room.
Tongtong leaned in towards Lanling Wang and apologized in a whisper:
“I need to apologize for something. Before the first episode was aired, I kept asking the program crew to cut out the part where you were evaluating Swan and Teacher Yuan Xi, but the director’s team insisted on keeping that part, which resulted in you being criticized by Teacher Yuan Xi’s fans…”
“It’s fine.”
Lin Yuan casually replied.
Indeed, Yuan Xi’s fans hated him.
But judging from the broadcast of the first episode, people who like him were also not few.
Of course, there would be some disputes in between.
Back in the dressing room.
There was still some time before the competition.
Lin Yuan simply took out his mobile phone and started surfing the internet.
News about “The Masked Singer” could be seen everywhere on the Tribe and Blog.
At this moment.
A live stream recommendation online caught Lin Yuan’s attention.
The live stream was titled “Leng Quan Predicts Ranking in the 2nd Episode of The Masked Singer”.
He clicked on the live stream.
The host was a man who was discussing while facing the camera:
“I might join the judging panel for the third episode, I have no time for the second episode, I can only do a live stream to predict for everyone, first of all I’m not sure about the substitute singers’ skills, so excluding them, based on the performance of the five contestants left from the first episode, I think the first place in the next episode will be either Swan or Robot. Because it’s apparent that Robot was hiding his skills in the first match, he’s probably a King of Singing from Blue Star. He should really blow off steam in the second match.”
“Prophet Leng Quan?”
Tongtong suddenly leaned in, then subconsciously said.
It seemed that this live stream host was quite famous.
Tongtong saw that Lin Yuan had no response, he started explain: “Leng Quan is a music critic. He had accurately predicted the champion of ‘Bloom’ three times consecutively, earning him the title of the Great Prophet of the music industry amongst netizens.”
Prophet?
That’s interesting.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but be intrigued. After the first episode was aired, he was also called a prophet.
Leng Quan’s live stream went on:
“First and second place will either be Swan or Robot, depending on who performs better. Next let’s predict third and fourth place. I think it must be either Piggy Qiqi or Prince of Lanling…”
“What about Prince of Lanling?”
Suddenly someone asked in the bullet screen.
Leng Quan glanced at this bullet screen message and smiled: “After the first episode was aired, there has been a lot of discussion about Prince of Lanling online lately. But you guys are greatly mistaken. Prince of Lanling is not as strong as you all imagined. Professionals can hear it; his singing is only at a second or third-tier level…”
Tongtong was taken aback.
He quickly sneaked a peek at the Prince of Lanling.
Prince of Lanling had no reaction.
Of course it was hard to see any reaction from behind the mask.
Unless Prince of Lanling dramatically leaned back.
Lin Yuan: “…”
In fact, Lin Yuan didn’t have any psychological fluctuations.
However, this person was quite ambiguous.
A second-tier was second-tier, and third-tier was third-tier, what did he mean by saying Lin Yuan had second or third-tier singing skills?
Lin Yuan was definitely a solid second-tier singer.
Otherwise, he would never have won the first place in the first episode.
At this moment.
The program crew’s camera lens, also turned to shooting Lin Yuan watching the live stream…
