Chapter 1067: Chapter 1061 PK Arrives

"The script wasn’t supposed to go like this, Liu, did you mess up?"

Lin Qiao’en blinked, casting an inexplicable glance at Liu Jielun.

The latter felt a bit tense, but in the end, he stood by his decision, looked up at Li Changlin, and said sincerely, "Actually, I wasn’t planning on giving you this score at the beginning, but your song reminded me of my ex-wife who left me ten years ago. Thank you, thank you for helping me understand what it means to cherish. Once the recording is over, I’ll call her immediately, hoping she can forgive the mistakes I made in the past."

Liu Jielun, of course, didn’t elaborate on what mistakes he made ten years ago, but they were probably the kind men are prone to make.

However, his words did awaken Lin Qiao’en. Liu had an affair with one of his students ten years ago, which his wife eventually found out about, leading to their divorce. Lin Qiao’en had tried to persuade Liu Jielun not to give up easily. At that time, Liu, filled with regret, wanted to suffer alone, unaware that his decision would hurt his wife even more.

Over the years, she had never remarried. Many friends had told Liu Jielun that she was still waiting for him and that he should let go of his pride and pursue her again.

Ten years had passed, and Liu Jielun never ended up with that student. Deep down, he loved his ex-wife more. Whenever he compared the student with his ex-wife, he couldn’t make the decision to remarry, and eventually, she, unwilling to wait any longer, left him without looking back.

But today, Li Changlin’s rendition of "The Woman Who is Easily Hurt" had finally made Liu determined. Lin Qiao’en didn’t know whether to congratulate his old friend or resent him for abandoning her at the crucial moment.

"I’ll give it a nine point five," Liu Jielun decided, slightly surprising Luo Weiting, who pondered briefly before also opting for a fair score.

As a musician, he shouldn’t let his personal likes and dislikes influence his professional duties. He had made many mistakes before, but now he didn’t want to continue making them.

Li Changlin’s performance was better than Xu Xin’s, especially since he used an original song, which was particularly commendable. Furthermore, Li Changlin employed the art of cross-dressing, making his act even more admirable. Luo Weiting was not a petty man, he shouldn’t suppress the newcomers for his own sake.

Both Liu Jielun and Luo Weiting gave high scores, and Zhao Yixuan, who was just there to make up the numbers, naturally gave a nine point five too, followed by Luo Tianyi giving a ten out of ten without any surprise.

Thus, Li Changlin scored a total of forty-four point eight points, with an average score of eight point ninety-six, becoming the top scorer of this round.

"This time the judges finally aren’t blind!"

"I knew Brother Changlin would definitely be the best."

"Awesome, Brother Changlin is really incredible!"

"From now on, I’ll take good care of my wife and stop fooling around outside."

"I’m sure Brother Changlin will dominate the competition this time!"

"I look forward to Brother Changlin making it into the top sixteen."

When the total and average scores were calculated, Yang Fei’s livestream room exploded with excitement as many of Li Changlin’s fans were energized, shouting in the chat channel.

Subsequently, countless gifts cascaded down the screen in the hall, and within just two minutes, Yang Fei had received hundreds of thousands worth of gifts, making him ecstatic, noting that Brother Changlin truly was his lucky star.

"Li Changlin, I love you!"

"Such a great performance, I hope the next song also brings us a huge surprise!"

"I’m proud to be a woman!"

"I will always support Li Changlin!"

Compared to the online streaming platform’s users, the audience in the studio was also brimming with enthusiasm. At the host’s repeated requests, everyone sat down again, some still yelling themselves hoarse, pushing the studio’s atmosphere to its peak.

Li Changlin kept expressing his thanks. In truth, when choosing this song, he had some reservations, aware of the audience’s likes and dislikes. Singing a sorrowful song in drag was truly a risky move.

But it turned out alright, his choice seemed correct after all.

Though the audience indeed enjoyed lighter songs, if a song inherently carried a theme and a story, they would like and accept it.

Afterward, Li Changlin bowed to express his gratitude, but he did not leave the stage as he was the last contestant in this round. The battle between four contestants was about to start, with the other three contestants being invited to perform in turns on stage.

This format was also a test of the contestants’ mental fortitude. After all, watching a video in a room and being in the venue are completely different experiences.

Seeing and hearing the audience’s support for their competitors, if someone lacked mental fortitude, it might immediately affect their confidence.

And some contestants with inadequate mental resilience might just break down on the spot, making a competition unnecessary.

A good voice isn’t just about being able to sing or act; mental resilience is also a crucial criterion.

Because successful contestants would certainly be signed by major entertainment companies. If their mental strength was lacking, how would the companies then package and promote them in the future?

If such people entered the industry, not only would it be questionable if they could bring a return on investment, but it would be a great relief if they could just avoid causing trouble for the company.

Thus, the standards for mental fortitude on "The Voice" were quite strict, which was also one of the reasons why the show had been able to run for ten years without faltering.

No entertainment program had managed to operate for such a long period. Even if "The Voice" excelled, were there no better programs in the industry?

Obviously, that was not the answer, but why "The Voice" had been able to run so long and remain so popular involved many tricks that people hadn’t considered.

At that moment, the host entered, inviting the other three singers onto the stage.

They were Xu Xin under Zhang Zhiqian, Li Yuan under Zhang Yifei, and Liu Dongyu under Zhou Yufan.

The appearance of all four contestants was met with waves of applause.

Actually, all four of the contestants had performed quite well, each scoring an average of over eight points.

One shouldn’t underestimate this score; even the best, Li Changlin, only had an eight point ninety-six, after all, with troublemakers like Lin Qiao’en and Luo Tianyi among the judges, how high could the scores realistically go?
