The longed-for village system

Chapter 245 The Unmasking Scene Erupts
"Could the man be Zhang Jie and the woman be Zhang Bichen? Bichen, Xiaogu, and Na Jie are best friends. Their relationship is well-known in the industry. Big brother, second brother, and third brother, it makes sense for Bichen to go see Na Jie and the other two sisters and sleep together!" Chen Jiahua offered another guess.

Everyone nodded in agreement with her guess. Indeed, close girlfriends are very likely to sleep in the same bed when they chat together. Even if they are married, the man usually takes the place of the woman. So it makes sense that Zhang Bichen slept in Zhang Jie's bed.

After discussion, everyone finally came to the conclusion that Ultraman is Zhang Jie and the Little Mermaid is Zhang Bichen.

"Alright, now the judging panel has given their answers, and everyone here has voted. Ultraman and the Little Mermaid, please turn around and go to the unmasking area."

"Everyone, let's welcome the Mermaid Princess with applause! Is she really the beautiful singer Zhang Bichen?!"

As Zhang Bichen emerged from behind his mask, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. The judging panel breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally guessed correctly once, and now they were confident that Ultraman was Zhang Jie.

This time, Zhang Bichen sang "Red Rose," and naturally, her performance received applause and cheers from the audience. Finally, it was Chen Qing's turn to take the stage. At this moment, all the stage lights went out, and the piano that had been prepared in advance was raised onto the stage.

The lights came on, and everyone gasped when they saw the masked man on stage. This meant they had guessed wrong; the man was not Zhang Jie.

"Little Bone, do you know who he is? Can you give us a hint?"

"Teacher Wu, I know who he is, but I won't tell you now. You'll find out later."

Teacher Wu wanted to ask Zhao Xiaogu more questions after hearing her words, but the people on stage had already started singing, so he could only temporarily turn his attention back to her.

How many times have I asked myself this question?

Why was I born? Why do I exist?

When Chen Qing started singing, everyone was stunned. It sounded nice, but the problem was that none of them could understand it. In the end, they only realized that Chen Qing was singing in Russian after looking at the lyrics translation on the big screen.

Others were at most surprised that the person on stage could sing Russian songs, but Zhao Xiaogu and Zhang Bichen were shocked, especially Zhao Xiaogu, who was surprised to learn that her man could speak Russian and even write Russian songs.

What am I looking forward to living in this world?

I want to fly to the clouds, but I have no wings.

The starlight in the sky beckons me.
But getting close to the stars is easier said than done, even if they are within arm's reach.

I don't know if I have the strength to run towards him.
After a short segment ended, Chen Qing stood up because the next part of the song was the high notes, which went up a full eight degrees.

Seeing Chen Qing stand up, everyone knew that the climax of the song was coming, and judging from the rhythm and melody, a long string of high notes was about to follow.

Although the judges were mentally prepared, they still gasped when they heard Chen Qing's high-pitched voice, and Da Zhangwei even raised his hands and bowed in admiration.

In the second verse, Chen Qing switched languages ​​again, this time using Mandarin Chinese, which made it immediately understandable to everyone in the audience.
Looking up at the sky with questions in mind, I saw countless stars.
Like the dream I once chased, appearing and disappearing.

Just when I wanted to give up, I saw it in front of me again.
Reaching out to remove it, it suddenly vanished. The music stopped at that moment, and Chen Qing turned around to remove the mask from his head. Then, in time with the rhythm, he turned around again and swung his arms, giving everyone no chance to gasp.

Can it guide me forward?
Xing Zong remained silent.
But it appeared on a lonely, cold night.
The flame of dreams was rekindled in my heart.

Everyone at the scene was blown away. Besides the song making them feel so inspired, they were even more surprised that the person was Chen Qing, the idol they had been most eager to meet during this time.

As the song's emotion intensified, the audience and judges stood up, waving their hands in rhythm with Chen Qing.

As the song ended, the venue erupted in joy, with everyone chanting Chen Qing's name. The host had to signal several times before things gradually calmed down.

Li Hao reached out and gently touched his forehead. He hadn't expected Chen Qing's popularity to be so terrifying. Two hundred people had created the aura of twenty thousand people. It was truly terrifying.

"Hello, Teacher Chen Qing, I really didn't expect it to be you." Li Hao greeted Chen Qing, and then asked the judges, "The judges all seem very excited! Teacher Da, I saw you raise your hand and bow several times, am I seeing things?"

"No, I'm completely in awe! Utterly in awe! I never expected it to be Teacher Chen! Wow! She's amazing, truly amazing."

"What a pity! We guessed Zhang Jie but forgot to guess Teacher Chen! Xiao Gu is sitting right here." Teacher Wu looked very annoyed.

Everyone else nodded in agreement. People in the industry all knew that Chen Qing was a homebody. Even if Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and others invited him to go out to film a program, he would not leave the village. The only two times he did so were because of Zhao Xiaogu. This time, Zhao Xiaogu was six months pregnant and went out of the village. How could Chen Qing not accompany her?

Miscalculation, a complete miscalculation.

"Teacher Chen, may I ask you something? Is this song 'Stars' a new song you composed?" Teacher Wu was more concerned about this matter.

Chen Qing smiled and nodded; his skin was now so thick that bullets couldn't penetrate it.

"No wonder, the writing is so good, and the singing is even more perfect. I didn't expect Teacher Chen to have such a wide vocal range. You are amazing. I admire you."

After marveling at Chen Qing, Teacher Wu secretly marked him as a prodigy in his mind. In all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had ever seen such an all-around singer. He really didn't leave any room for other singers to survive. He was now glad that he and Chen Qing were not from the same era. He had already semi-retired.

After asking a few simple questions, Zhang Bichen came back onto the stage from backstage. After all, she had invited Chen Qing, and she wanted to thank him.

"Teacher Bichen, I heard that Teacher Chen was able to come because of your invitation? What brought about such a wonderful collaboration between the two of you today?"

Li Hao now naturally knows the reason for the guest change, and has also received instructions from Director Liu to thank Chen Qing on behalf of their program.

"It was a coincidence that we were able to collaborate today. Originally, my partner for this episode was another singer, but his flight was delayed and he couldn't make it to the recording. I happened to see a post on Xiao Gu's WeChat Moments and learned that he and his wife were in Jiangsu. So I called Xiao Gu and asked her to sweetly bring Brother Chen over to participate in the show. I didn't expect it to turn out so well. Here, I want to thank my second brother, Xiao Gu."

"No, shouldn't you be thanking me? I'm the one who went up on stage to work with you!" Chen Qing turned to look at Zhang Bichen with a puzzled expression.
