However, the rock song that Wang Shan and He Wei collaborated on was truly exhilarating. At least, by the time Wang Shan finished his performance and the host came on stage to transition, his vote count for this round had already reached 41,879 votes.
This was already a terrifying number of votes, as over eighty percent of the audience had voted for this song.
This also made the live stream's bullet comments a bit uneasy.
"Holy crap, such a high vote count, Brother Xie is in danger later!"
"Yeah, it's hard to follow such an exciting performance. If Brother Xie still performs a folk song, he's going to die a miserable death this round."
"Although I don't like Wang Shan, his strength is undeniable, and He Wei's composition this time is also great. Now it's up to Su Shen and Jiangxue Goddess."
"Why is no one mentioning Teacher Han Zhuoma? Her singing skills are the best, right!"
"..."
Amidst the clamor of the bullet comments, Xie Jie took the stage to a wave of cheers and anticipation.
However, Xie Jie's attire today was a bit peculiar, a mechanical punk style even more exaggerated than Wang Shan's earlier.
The most exaggerated part was the wide cape on his back! This makeup was truly chuunibyou to the extreme.
But before the audience could even complain, an incredibly exhilarating prelude had already begun.
At this moment, countless people felt as if they were in a battlefield filled with flying bullets and smoke.
The song's information also appeared on the big screen at this moment.
"reverse war" (Theme song for the mobile game "reverse war")
Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Xie Jie
Goodness, the moment Su Yu's name appeared, the bullet comments exploded.
Because they hadn't expected Su Yu to write another song for Xie Jie, and what was with the game theme song after the title?
Just as everyone was first surprised, then confused, Xie Jie's singing already came through.
"【On this turbulent battlefield, the storm youth appears.
Amidst the roaring flames, the whole world is noisy.】"
Storm youth? Hearing this lyric, countless netizens were amused.
No wonder the outfit was chuunibyou; these lyrics were chuunibyou enough too.
And some people had already discovered the truth of the matter and began to explain it in the bullet comments.
"'reverse war' is Tengfei Game's new game. They found Su Shen to write the theme song for the game, and the game has just launched! The MV for the promotional video features this song, 'reverse war,' sung by Xie Jie!"
Alright, everyone understood at this moment.
However, regardless of whether this song was a game theme song or not, it sounded truly exhilarating!
Those audience members at the venue who didn't know the situation were already hyped up.
"【Come on reverse war! reverse war is here!
The ace must be wild! Roam the universe and set the world straight!
Oh reverse war! reverse war is wild!
The ace must vent! Battle is our stubborn starting point!】
At this moment, Xie Jie on stage had already reached the climax of his performance. His singing seemed to have an extremely strong penetrating power, directly sending the lyrics and the message into the hearts of every audience member.
They were going crazy. At this moment, tens of thousands of audience members in the venue were all a bit crazy.
The passion brought by Wang Shan's "rock" earlier was now easily erased by this "reverse war"; they even forgot what "rock" was singing about.
On stage, Xie Jie was also going all out at this moment, singing passionately and forgetting himself:
"【I want to control my power, display my influence, watch this dragon battle in the wilderness.
On this battlefield, thousands of passionate warriors, rush forward, guardians of the world.
Fighting! One more decisive battle!】
This song also seemed to have a magical power, making people sway along, even getting hot-blooded and having the urge to pick up a gun and fight fiercely with enemies!
The final "Fighting! One more decisive battle!" was too catchy, right? This song is invincible!
At this moment, whether it was the fifty thousand live audience members or the viewers and netizens in front of their televisions, all were ignited by Xie Jie on stage.
It was just that the vote count on the large screen behind Xie Jie hadn't increased much, perhaps because everyone was too engrossed in listening? At this moment, they had forgotten to vote for Xie Jie.
At this moment, Wang Shan, who was backstage, had an extremely grim expression. He hadn't expected that Xie Jie could actually follow his own super-exhilarating opening, and even performed a new song written for him by Su Yu!
This cast a thick shadow over Wang Shan's heart!
He didn't think he couldn't make it to the finals, but if Xie Jie and Han Jiangxue both sang Su Yu's songs, his ranking might be a bit precarious.
Of course, each group of singers had their rehearsals separately, so Wang Shan didn't know that in this round, not only Xie Jie and Han Jiangxue would sing Su Yu's songs, but there would be an even bigger surprise for him later!
On stage, Xie Jie had already finished singing "reverse war" with great gusto, but he was a bit confused when he looked at the vote count.
Why were there only a little over 10,000 votes? That didn't make sense!
Did all five of you act out that wild scene just to trick me?!
However, the next moment, the vote count began to soar at an unbelievable speed.
Alright, the audience members at the venue finally remembered to vote, which led to the incredibly amusing scene now.
The moment the host announced the end of voting, Xie Jie's final vote count for tonight was fixed at 42,799 votes!
The moment this vote count came out, the venue immediately exploded!
Because Wang Shan's temporary first place ranking undoubtedly dropped to second place, and Xie Jie temporarily took first place with a lead of almost a thousand votes.
Seeing the final vote count, Xie Jie smiled, and Su Yu, watching the live broadcast, also smiled.
"This is what you call a surprise? It really is quite a surprise. Giant Shark and Wang Shan must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right?" Han Jianhua said with a smile, looking at Su Yu.
He felt that tonight's beginning was very satisfying. This kid Su Yu was indeed very vengeful, but he liked it!
"Uncle Han, keep watching, there's more surprise later." Su Yu smiled mysteriously, keeping them in suspense.
Su Yu's words piqued the interest of Han Jianhua and Jiang Yu. Goodness, could there be more new songs from Su Yu later?
Who would it be? Hu Zhixuan? Or Han Zhuoma?
At this moment, the stage had already moved to the third group of singers, but the Wave Band clearly failed to maintain the momentum left by Xie Jie. Although their performance of a classic old song was commendable, they only received 37,910 votes.
With such a result, they were 90% out of the finals.
Unless the subsequent singers made frequent mistakes, but was that possible?
And now, some prophets had already started making predictions. At this time, the highest support was for Han Zhuoma, Han Jiangxue, Xie Jie, and Wang Shan to enter the finals.
Hu Zhixuan had clearly been excluded from the finals by most netizens.
Hu Zhixuan, who took the stage fourth, didn't know the netizens' predictions, and even if he did, he would just chuckle.
Because he also had a secret weapon, alright?
