Chapter 506 - 364: Wild Chicken Ranking

Chapter 506: Chapter 364: Wild Chicken Ranking

A hundred thousand people singing in a huge outdoor chorus.

The shock it brings is still very strong.

Take Xi Wan and her friends, for example, they didn’t know Wu Mu before, and hadn’t really heard of him. Subconsciously, they might have felt that he wasn’t that famous, just another niche internet celebrity.

But once they saw this scene, they immediately realized that this person was indeed impressive. Not having heard of him wasn’t due to a lack of fame, but rather because they were the ones who were out of touch.

After all, it’s hard for a popular singer to gather a crowd of a hundred thousand people to listen to their music, let alone incite such a massive singalong.

This scene quickly captured the attention of Xi Wan and her friends, "This person seems very famous? And I see many men in the audience, doesn’t seem like the typical fanzone celebrity, how come we haven’t heard much about him before?"

"What’s the name of the song he’s singing? It sounds really nice." Chi Jiajia had already taken out her phone, searching the lyrics she just heard.

And Xu Lingzhi, a former super fan of Wu Mu, was utterly shocked.

Wait a minute, is this the little celebrity she used to follow?

When did he evolve into someone capable of inciting a scene with a hundred thousand people singing in unison?

"Is the song called ’Legend’? I’ll save it so we can listen to it later." Chi Jiajia had already found the song title.

Xu Lingzhi secretly noted the song title in her heart.

The program on the screen continued.

After a brief introduction of the contestants by the host, the screen suddenly shifted.

Instead of focusing on the show’s stage, the screen showed a distant view of a rustic cottage appearing in front of the audience.

Along with a voice-over, "Mr. Yue, we would like to invite you as the opening guest of our program to perform a song for us."

Then, a somewhat old and hoarse voice replied, "I’ve long retired and no longer accept invitations."

"Yes, we understand all that. Normally, we wouldn’t dare disturb you, Mr. Yue, if it were an ordinary show. But you see, our program, ’Legendary Voice,’ is themed around legendary memories of the era, and when it comes to that theme, you’re the first person that comes to our minds. Our program would be lacking significantly without your opening performance."

Who are they inviting?

They’re laying it on thick?

Legendary memories of the era?

Everyone’s attention was immediately captured.

Then the camera slowly zoomed in, showing a face that was aged but still had traces of past charm appearing on the screen.

"Yue... Yue Qinglan!?"

Xi Wan and her friends were taken aback.

They might not know Wu Mu, but there’s no way they wouldn’t know Yue Qinglan, just like people on Earth wouldn’t be unfamiliar with Jackie Chan or Stephen Chow in Hua Country.

The live comments were also exploding with viewers who were learning for the first time that the program tried to invite Yue Qinglan.

Such a big gesture?

Could they really get him?

Initially, they couldn’t, no matter what the host said, Yue Qinglan remained unmoved.

Until...

"I know that before your retirement, Mr. Yue, you regretted how the domestic music scene was always trailing behind internationally, and that our domestic singers were so far behind foreign singers. You even experienced discrimination by foreign television when you participated in overseas shows... But things are completely different now."

"Our program not only features our country’s top young singers but also top singers from abroad, including ones from South Korea and Japan. One of our main reasons for inviting you is to resolve your regrets from back then. We want you to see how the young singers of Hua Country today, who may eventually become legends, compare to foreign singers."

The words sounded filled with emotion.

In truth, Wu Feng wasn’t motivated by any sentimental notion but felt that this was the likely way to invite Yue Qinglan onto the program, which would generate interest.

And just like that, after hearing the host’s words, Yue Qinglan indeed hesitated.

However, the scene didn’t immediately show if he agreed or not but instead continued to transition.

The scene showed footage of inviting Zhang Xuezong and others.

The program’s editor was clearly very skilled.

In less than five to six minutes of footage, they managed to instantly elevate the program’s status and intent, and highlighted the selling point of domestic top singers competing against top foreign singers.

Even Xi Wan and her friends, who seldom watched programs, were immediately captivated.

Their interest was piqued by the idea of a music battle between singers from China, Japan, and Korea.

"Is the top domestic singer referring to Mo Mo?"

"I’ve always heard that Mo Mo sings incredibly well; I didn’t expect that he’s already on par with those foreign singers."

Unfamiliar with Wu Mu, they instinctively thought the reference was mainly to Mo Mo.

The known fans of Wu Mu in the live comments also felt it was speaking about Mo Mo, with his name filling the screen.

After inviting the opening guests, the scene transitioned back to the contestants of this episode.

The segment showed music partners and contestants discussing which song to use for the finals, how to arrange it, and what stage effects to employ.

Everyone appeared solemn, their expressions serious.

Mo Mo was holding sheet music, seriously discussing things with others, making calls to coordinate possibilities, practicing in the studio until sweat trickled down his forehead.

Occasionally interspersed were comments like "You want to use this song?" "Choosing this song is good, the odds are in favor," without mentioning any specific song title, to stir everyone’s anticipation.

Yi Junxi was even more meticulous, not only careful in song selection, deliberating multiple times with his team members, but also meticulous in on-the-spot arrangements, even bringing in a master-level music producer from their company in South Korea for discussions.

A serious and professional atmosphere was quickly established.
