Chapter 1559: 1559

It had been four years .

The smiles were still the same .

The tears were still the same .

The stage was still the same .

And the crowd was still the same .

In the outside world, many of those who were watching the live broadcast were stunned .

The scene that unfolded before their eyes did not feel unfamiliar .

On the same stage several years ago, they had witnessed something similar . That crazed crowd, that radiant singer, they had seen it all before . And on this day, a few years later, when Zhang Ye once again stood on the stage of I Am a Singer, no one had expected that the scene would appear again!

…

Back at home .

His mother was dumbfounded . “W-What’s going on!”

Li Qinqin said in surprise, “They’re all holding up Little Ye’s name?”

Wu Changhe said, “Damn, has this kid really lost any popularity?”

Wu Mo said in amazement, “That’s a ton of people!”

…

At Ning Lan’s house .

The few friends’ jaws had dropped .

“What’s with this situation?”

“Who knows!”

“Who said that he’s no longer popular?”

“This is kinda scary!”

…

At a newly crowned Heavenly Queen’s studio .

The roomful of people were all frowning .

“This—”

“This shouldn’t be happening!”

“Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense!”

…

On Weibo .

“My God!”

“Am I seeing things?”

“It’s already been four years . How can there still be a scene like that?”

“Qi Liang and Qu Dong’s fans have totally been outnumbered?”

“What the hell! This is too amazing!”

“Could Zhang Ye really have turned the tide?”

…

On the live broadcast .

It was Qi Liang’s turn to go on stage .

The moment Qi Liang stepped on stage, his heart was pounding . This was because he suddenly realized that everything had changed . The audience was still applauding and cheering for him, but it was somewhat different from what he had experienced the week before . He discovered that the audience’s applause for him was actually less than what they had given Zhang Ye!

What did this mean?

Qi Liang was afraid to even think in that direction .

Did most of the audience members today happen to be Zhang Ye’s fans?

Did a lot of his fans happen to be here today?

Qi Liang could only think in this way .

Over there, the music was already playing .

Qi Liang knew that he had no choice but to bring out his trump card . This was a song he had prepared for over a month and was also the song that he could sing the best and was most confident about . The reason he decided to bring it out today at the grand finals was that he badly wanted to become the greatest champion .

He started singing .

He hit the high notes .

He sang with an abundance of emotion .

There was nothing to nitpick .

When he heard the thunderous applause afterwards, Qi Liang could finally heave a sigh of relief . He smiled and bowed before exiting the stage .

Then it was Qu Dong’s turn .

Qu Dong was also a mixed bag of emotions right now . Regarding Zhang Ye’s return, Qu Dong and many of the other newly minted celebrities of the entertainment industry were actually not very bothered by it . In their opinion, Zhang Ye was a has-been and did not have much popularity left . There was no way he could compete against the currently popular celebrities like them . But the facts had left Qu Dong and many others quite terrified . The scene that happened earlier left them in utter disbelief .

They couldn’t take it easy anymore!

The stakes were real now!

Qu Dong’s fighting spirit became stronger in response . He nodded at the band to signal that he was ready .

The music started playing .

Qu Dong started singing .

He was going all out!

Today, Qi Liang and Qu Dong gave it their all!

…

In the audience .

The guests gasped .

Season Four’s class of singers .

“He’s really giving it his all!”

“Brother Qi has pulled out all the stops for his performance . “

“Yeah, it was precisely that tenor that led him to win as the grand champion of Season Four . “

“His tenor is so unique . No one else in the music scene can sing in the same way as him . “

Season Five’s class of singers .

“Brother Qu has used his ultimate move . “

“Great showing, that’s really good!”

“Right, he will definitely advance to the next round!”

“But Qi Liang’s performance was very good too . “

“I’m still more optimistic about Qu Dong . This song was in his first album when he debuted . His fans will surely be convinced . “

Season One’s class of singers .

Chen Guang breathed a sigh of relief . “They’ve finally finished performing . “

He Huan smiled and said, “So what do you think of this?”

Chen Guang said, “You mean their singing skills?”

He Huan said, “Who do you think sang better?”

Chen Guang laughed . “You’re asking the obvious . Who else?”

Xue Kaiqi said, “In regard to singing skills, even Grandma Zhang isn’t a match for him . This fellow is a natural-born singer . If there’s a need to compete on singing skills, there’s probably only Zhang Yuanqi who can match him . But now that Sister Zhang has retired from the scene, there isn’t another person who can fight him in singing . “

Zhang Xia said, “I’m just afraid that this isn’t a competition of singing . “

Chen Guang smiled . “The results will be out soon . We’ll know for sure this time just how much popularity our Zhang’er has got left . Let’s wait and see . “

He Huan said, “Qi Liang and Qu Dong sang very well too . “

Chen Guang acknowledged that too . “The youngsters these days are truly amazing . “

…

The performance ended .

Online, the fighting had descended into a crazy state .

“Give your votes to Qi Liang!”

“Vote for Ququ!”

“Everyone, please vote!”

“The voting will close soon!”

“Vote for Zhang Ye!”

“Get lost, previous poster!”

“Don’t vote for Zhang Ye!”

The fans of the contestants were tussling .

Quite a few fans from the other fanbases also came to mess around . Everyone had a celebrity they supported, and there were countless people pulling for votes as they tried to fight for their idols to get the last two places in the grand finals!

…

One minute .

Two minutes .

Three minutes .

The voting ended!

The fans were getting nervous!

The media was in a state of anxiety!

The people from the entertainment industry were looking forward to seeing the results!

Who will it be?

Who will be the one who gets eliminated in this round?

Qi Liang’s heart was pounding . He wanted to win! He really wanted to win!

Qu Dong looked very calm on the surface, but he was in turmoil on the inside . He kept thinking back to his performance . Were there any mistakes? There shouldn’t have been any mistakes? It all depends on how everyone has voted . Surely Zhang Ye isn’t going to last any longer, is he? There’s no reason why he still remains in the competition! Qi Liang and himself had not given Zhang Ye any chance!

…

On TV .

Cui Na had already stepped out onto the stage .

For a moment, everyone was staring fixedly at her . The atmosphere became very tense .

Cui Na could also feel everyone’s gaze on her . She took a deep breath and smiled . “The voting results of the third round have been sent to me, but I haven’t looked at them yet . In fact, I’m as nervous as you . I dislike the arrival of this moment as well, because it means that another contestant has to leave us . But this is unavoidable . That’s what a competition is about . ” With a pause, she said, “Now then, I’ll be announcing the results . “

She then lowered her head to look at the outcome of the voting that had been sent to the cell phone in her hand .

Cui Na was startled for a moment before she looked up again . “Honestly speaking, this is a little unexpected to me . “

The crowd was going crazy with anxiety .

“Tell us already!”

“Who is it?”

“Who has been eliminated?”

The TV viewers were also on the edge of their seats .

“Your sister!”

“Announce it already!”

“Has Zhang Ye been eliminated?”

Then they heard Cui Na announce, “The contestant who will be leaving us in this round is…Qi Liang! That means Qu Dong and Zhang Ye will be heading into the final matchup of this culmination battle!”

Chen Guang jumped to his feet!

Zhang Xia gave Zhang Ye a thumbs up!

Xue Kaiqi looked happily surprised!

He Huan’s jaw dropped!

The singers from Season Four and Five were also shocked!

Qi Liang?

It’s Qi Liang?

How is that possible!

There was an uproar at the venue!

Qi Liang’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach . He sat backstage, stunned for two seconds, but still couldn’t react . I’ve lost? It’s me?

Qu Dong was also startled . Although he had advanced to the next round, he realized that he didn’t feel happy about it . It wasn’t because he sympathized with his opponent, Qi Liang, but that he had been frightened by how popular Zhang Ye was . If the atmosphere in the venue earlier did not clearly explain this, then the voting result was the most direct reflection of it . This couldn’t be falsified as the votes were cast by the people . Zhang Ye had actually defeated Qi Liang? Qu Dong knew that even if Qi Liang’s popularity ranking was two places below his, their popularity couldn’t have been too far apart!

What the hell?

Just what the fuck is this outcome?

However, there was no time for him keep thinking about this!

Qu Dong and Zhang Ye’s final round was going to begin immediately!

The greatest champion of I Am a Singer would soon be revealed!
