As time went on, it was soon the turn of Wei Yan, who had drawn number 5.

When Wei Yan went on stage to prepare, the screen in the live broadcast room switched to a VCR of his pre-match interview.

"Teacher Wei Yan, four years ago, when you were at the peak of your career, you resolutely withdrew from the Chinese entertainment industry. Since then, you have disappeared without a trace and there has been no news of you since then."

"So what exactly made you decide to return and participate in this international music competition?" the host asked.

Wei Yan held the microphone and thought for a moment before responding: "I am passionate about music, and I also miss the feeling of standing on the stage and singing.

However, due to personal reasons, I have chosen to temporarily step away from the public eye."

"Although the outside world has hardly heard of me in the past four years, I have never stopped exploring and moving forward on the road of music."

"I received a sincere invitation from CCTV and this competition is a rare opportunity, so I decided to return to the stage."

"I hope to announce to everyone through my singing that the talented singer Wei Yan is back again!"

Wei Yan stared into the camera with a determined and confident look.

The next moment, the camera in the live broadcast room turned and turned into the scene of the stage.

Wei Yan stood in the center of the stage, his expression focused and confident.

As the music started, he began to sing.

Wei Yan sang his original song, a traditional Chinese style song.

However, to be precise, this is more like a Chinese style song that incorporates rap elements.

His singing voice is low and gentle, like a breeze blowing past your ears, or like a gurgling stream moistening your soul.

Every line of the lyrics is full of strong Chinese flavor, like opening an ancient scroll, showing the profoundness of Chinese culture.

In the middle of the song, a rap with a strong sense of rhythm was suddenly inserted, which formed a sharp contrast with the previous singing.

This rap part is like a violent storm, with a brisk and powerful rhythm, and every word strikes the heartstrings of the audience like a drumbeat.

Wei Yan performed this rap vividly with his unique voice and superb skills, which shocked the audience.

Wei Yan is worthy of being Wei Yan, his strength has not diminished at all.

Although he has disappeared from the Chinese entertainment scene for four years, his return undoubtedly brought great surprise to people.

This debut performance was perfect and successfully met the expectations of all Chinese netizens.

It also makes everyone full of endless reverie about his future performance.

[Wei Yan is indeed the superstar of the music scene back then! His singing skills are still as good as ever! Support Wei Yan, come on! ]

[Wei Yan is awesome! CCTV invited you to come for a reason.]

【Chinese singers are amazing, like it! 】

[ennnn... The first episode is about Chinese songs. This is the advantage of our two Chinese singers. It is natural that they performed well. Let's wait until they sing songs in other languages ​​in the next few episodes before making a judgment! ]

【…】

The competition is in full swing.

Every singer gave their best and showed their best.

As Fang Xieyue expected, most of the Chinese songs covered by these foreign singers are popular love songs.

Among them are sad, tragic, warm, and sweet.

Only a few foreign male singers sang rock songs.

Obviously everyone has done their homework. Although their Chinese pronunciation is not standard, they have put a lot of effort into adapting the songs according to their own singing styles.

Therefore, combined with the re-arranged music, it has a unique flavor.

Fang Xieyue listened carefully to each singer's performance, silently evaluating her own strengths and weaknesses in her mind.

Among the eight foreign singers who have performed so far, she was most impressed by Monica, the female singer from the Bear Country.

Monica is 27 years old. She adapted and covered the representative work "Indulgence" by Yang Qiongyu, the iron-lung singing queen of the Chinese entertainment scene.

It was this song that made Yang Qiongyu known as the Queen of Iron Lung Singing. One can imagine how difficult it was.

Monica's adaptation did not reduce the difficulty of the original version, and her singing was on par with the original singer Yang Qiongyu.

It looks like this will be a strong opponent.

As for the other legendary little witch Christina, she has not appeared yet, so Fang Xieyue knows nothing about her strength.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

After Ouyang Xi finished her announcement, the tenth singer slowly walked to the center of the stage.

It is the much-anticipated American singer Christina!

At this moment, the live broadcast room switched to her pre-match interview VCR.

The interviewer smiled and asked: "In the fiercely competitive European and American music scene, you are affectionately called 'Little Witch' by many netizens, which undoubtedly demonstrates your extraordinary singing ability."

"So as a representative of the United States participating in this international music competition, which singer do you think will be your biggest competitor?"

A confident and flamboyant smile appeared on Christina's face.

She answered without hesitation: "I don't think any singer here can be my real rival."

As soon as the words fell, the entire live broadcast room exploded.

[Fuck! This girl is too arrogant! ]

[What kind of nonsense is she saying... Never mind, I'm just telling the truth.]

[To be honest, they do have such ability. ]

[Oh, my dear Goddess Christina, you are so amazing! ]

[Dear Miss Christina, please ruthlessly defeat these foreign singers! ]

【…】

"But..." Christina changed the subject and continued in fluent English:

"Before I came to China to compete, I got to know the other ten foreign singers.

The one that interested me the most was the Chinese singer Fang Xieyue, who was two years younger than me.

I listened to some of her music, and there are some really good songs.”

"The song "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" left a deep impression on me.

Its melody and lyrics are very unique, and it requires extremely high singing skills to interpret it perfectly.”

"So when we had to sing a Chinese song in the first round, I chose her song 'Pointing to the Moon with the Left Hand' which is very explosive and difficult to sing without hesitation."

"I hope I can show my strength through this song. Of course, it will be even more exciting if Fang Xieyue herself sings this song!"

After saying that, she winked at the camera with a naughty smile on her face.

When Fang Xieyue heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
