My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Zhang Xinlan smiled slightly: "Of course, I didn't mean to buy out the copyright, but rather I wanted to obtain the cover version copyright of this song."

Lin Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought Zhang Xinlan, like that person from NetEase Music, wanted to buy out the entire copyright of this song! Thank goodness! Teacher Zhang has much more principles than the people on the music platform; she just wanted the cover version copyright.

Otherwise, Lin Fan would have to risk offending Zhang Xinlan by refusing her request.

The song "Keep Walking in the Rain" has enormous potential! It can not only bring him more copyright revenue, but also help him establish his reputation as a songwriter! Perhaps in the future, he can use this song to move behind the scenes and become a composer and lyricist!

At that time, even if he gets another song from the unreliable system, Lin Fan won't feel so abrupt when he releases it, and he won't worry about being invited for tea by the relevant departments.

Moreover, this song truly resonates with Zhang Xinlan! From her vocal characteristics to her personal experiences, everything aligns perfectly with the message the song conveys! Lin Fan believes that with Zhang Xinlan's reinterpretation, this song is sure to become a huge hit!

So Lin Fan nodded: "No problem, Teacher Zhang, I'm very happy that you like my song so much, it's my honor!"

What an honor for a plagiarist to stumble upon someone similar to the original author!

Zhang Xinlan smiled and said, "It's also my honor. It's very difficult for a singer to find a song that really suits them. Lin Fan, I also want to thank you. Thank you for creating such an excellent work, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to cover it."

The students were all somewhat envious.

"Teacher Zhang is going to cover Brother Fan's song!"

"I'm so envious! I also wish Teacher Zhang could cover my song!"

"What song did you write? A rap song? Teacher Zhang is covering rap? This scene is too beautiful for me to bear!"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'feeding'?!"

……

The comments section was filled with amazement.

[A Handbook of Unconventional Life: Wow! Teacher Zhang really thinks this song is that good?]

[I'm voting for this one first: That's not the point! The point is that Zhang Xinlan actually asked Lin Fan for the cover song copyright!!!]

[Handsome Guy Logging In: Ah, now that you mention it, I can't help but look forward to it!]

[Born Entertainment Reporter: A mentor covers a student's song? Wow, Fanfan is amazing! This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime moment!]

……

Zhang Xinlan received a satisfactory answer and smiled, "Okay, we can discuss the specifics later. For now, let's go back to the initial ranking announcement."

Luo Yu continued, "Yes, thank you very much, Lin Fan, for your wonderful performance! Please return to your original position for now."

"Okay, teacher."

Lin Fan stepped down from the center of the stage and returned to his original position with Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang, Chen Xianwu and others.

As Li Xiaodong stepped off the stage, she excitedly grabbed Lin Fan's arm: "Brother! Brother Fan! You're really amazing!"

Lin Fan laughed and said, "Calm down, calm down!"

"I can't stay calm! Fan-ge! You have to give me the lyrics after the rankings are announced, I need to learn this song!"

"Me too! Brother Fan, I love this song too! You have to teach me!" The other trainees standing around Lin Fan also joined in the fun.

Lin Fan hesitated, "The lyrics are easy to come up with. I'll make one for Li Xiaodong, and you can copy them yourselves. But I'm about to be eliminated, so I won't be able to teach you how to sing..."

There was a moment of silence.

Li Xiaodong: "Hehe!"

Lu Bingyang: "Hehe!"

Chen Xianwu: "Hehe!"

Others: "Heh!"

Lin Fan was puzzled. What happened? Why did they suddenly turn on each other? What's with the "hehe"?

Even the people in the front row who heard Lin Fan's words couldn't help but turn around and glance at him, a strange smile flashing in their eyes.

It felt like the kindergarten children were playing happily, and suddenly everyone tacitly stopped playing with Lin Fan. Lin Fan didn't even know what was happening, and he felt extremely wronged.

But Lin Fan thought that he was about to be eliminated, so if they didn't want to play with him, so be it! He wasn't going to kindergarten anymore, he was going to elementary school!

snort!

Just then, Luo Yu brought up Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, do you remember the question I asked you before your performance?"

Lin Fan nodded: "I remember, Professor Luo, you asked me if I wanted to know my ranking, and I said no."

Luo Yu laughed: "It's okay if you don't want to know, but others do. Does everyone want to know Lin Fan's ranking?"

Everyone smiled the same way Luo Yu did and shouted, "Yes!"

[One shot, one boyfriend: Following in the footsteps of Teacher Ding, Teacher Luo has also gone astray!]

[Strawberry Mochi: Why does it feel like everyone else knows something, but we're just keeping it from Fanfan?]

[Cosmic Smuggling Romance: The other trainees all have management companies and interact with fans through live streams, so they're not completely unaware of what's going on outside. But Fanfan isn't...]

[The King of Verbal Combat: Lin, the Unaware One~~~~~~~~~~~~~]

……

Suddenly, Lin Fan had a strange, ominous premonition.

But that's not the point.

The key point is...

"Lin Fan, I'm sorry! Although you gave everyone a great song and admitted that you and 39 other contestants would be leaving this stage, your fans disagree! So, your ranking is—"

"11th place!"

The entire venue was silent for a second, then erupted in a deafening roar!

"Wow! I knew Fan was ranked high, but I didn't expect him to be this high!"

"Fan Ge is ranked 11th!"

"My God! Am I dreaming?"

"Ouch! Why did you pinch me!"

"Let me see if I'm dreaming..."

Lin Fan was completely dumbfounded when he suddenly heard his own name called. That inexplicable ominous premonition had actually become a reality! How terrifying!

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

[A clear mind leads to enlightenment: Holy crap?]

[Dancing Elephant: This guy even made it to 11th? Are you kidding me?]

[Riding a pig to watch the sunset: One vote for you, one vote for me, the mediocre will never escape!]

[Born Entertainment Reporter King: Hahahaha! Those of you who are sour can be sour all you want, it doesn't matter!]

【Cute Rabbit: It's me! It's my beloved Consort Fan!!!】

[The Agile Fat Girl: Look at Fanfan's expression!!! Hahaha, all I want to say is, sisters! Well done!]

Li Xiaodong slapped Lin Fan on the back: "Brother Fan, hurry up!"

Lin Fan stood up in a daze and walked to his seat amidst laughter.

What's going on? Why am I here? What happened? My popularity score wasn't even over 100,000, so how did I manage to climb to such an absurd 11th place?

This isn't just outrageous! This is utter nonsense!

Even when giving his acceptance speech, Lin Fan was still a little stunned: "I don't know why I'm in this position. I said during my first performance that I wanted to go home, and my dream is to open a bed and breakfast... I had all my luggage packed, but... I thank all the fans who voted for me, but I feel that this position shouldn't belong to me. It should belong to those very talented trainees..."

When everyone heard the sentence, "My luggage is all packed," the whole room burst into laughter!

There are contestants like this? That's hilarious!
