Entertainment: My wife is a superstar

Chapter 56 Finals Recording

After the show aired, there was a surge of criticism against Liao Yuzhu online, which also dragged Yu Nuannuan into the controversy.

Time flies, and the day of recording the final of "The Voice of Heaven" arrived.

Lin Yi sat down in the special guest seat again.

Apart from him, the other special guests were all new faces.

Several of them greeted Lin Yi warmly and proactively, their words implying a desire to make his acquaintance.

Lin Yi simply gave a polite and brief response.

There was only one male guest sitting a little further away. He had no expression from the moment he sat down and didn't even glance at Lin Yi.

The program proceeded according to the schedule, with groups of singers taking turns on stage.

Lin Yi watched patiently until the host announced the program:

"Next, let's welcome the last group of singers—Liao Yuzhu, and her guest performer, Yu Nuannuan!"

"Sister Bamboo!"

"Sister Bamboo!"

"Sister Bamboo!"

"Warm and cozy!"

"Warm and cozy!"

"Warm and cozy!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

Although neither of them performed well in the semifinals, their popularity was still there.

Amid cheers and applause from the audience, Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu walked onto the stage side by side.

The two of them were dressed quite casually today, in bright colors and simple styles, exuding a youthful vibe.

But none of them had a smile on their faces, and their eyes held a tense, almost resolute air.

They don't seem to be here to sing, they seem to be going to war.

The show "The Voice of Heaven" itself does not have rankings, but after the performance videos are uploaded to Tencent Video, viewers can rate them.

In the semi-finals, Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu received the lowest scores, which was also Liao Yuzhu's worst result since participating in the show.

Therefore, Liao Yuzhu and Yu Nuannuan were both holding their breath today, determined to prove themselves.

In the guest section, the male guest who hadn't greeted Lin Yi suddenly sighed.

The sound wasn't loud, but just enough for the person next to you to hear:

"Sigh, what a pity about Bamboo's song in the semi-finals, it was such a good song."

If that incident hadn't happened, getting first place shouldn't have been a problem.

He paused, then added with a sigh, "The worst thing about collaborative performances is when the two sides don't match, which drags down the overall effect."

These words sound like regret, but upon closer examination, they seem to be shifting the blame for the semi-final defeat onto Yu Nuannuan.

Lin Yi glanced at him and remembered.

This person is Ye Xiaohui, a former top male singer whose popularity has declined.

It seems... he was still Liao Yuzhu's original partner for the finals?

Lin Yi picked up the teacup in front of him, took a slow sip, and then spoke:

"Teacher Ye is right, a collaborative stage does require a good match of personalities."

But what I find even more precious than these things is that they can stand side by side and finish the performance in the event of an emergency.

These are true friends, true partners, don't you think?

Ye Xiaohui was taken aback by these words, feeling a little embarrassed, and gave a dry laugh:

"What Professor Lin said makes sense. But ultimately, what the audience and the market care about is the final presentation."

"The effect is temporary, and it depends a lot on the state of mind on the day." Lin Yi put down his teacup and turned his gaze to the two people who were now standing in the center of the stage.

"But some things are more important than temporary results."

For example, trust, the courage to face adversity together, and the same goals.

What does Teacher Ye think?

Ye Xiaohui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, though his face clearly darkened.

He turned to look at the stage, his eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of bitterness and resentment.

He felt that his chance to make a comeback had been snatched away by Yu Nuannuan.

Those veiled remarks he just made were the pent-up anger he was holding in.

On stage, the lights changed and the prelude began.

Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time:

"The carrying pole is wide, and the bench is long."

I want to tie the carrying pole to the bench.

Don't tie the carrying pole to the bench.

"The carrying pole is tied to the bench."

Then each person sang one verse, alternating between them.

The catchy tongue twister, paired with a lively melody that has a touch of ethnic flavor, immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

The lyrics were ingenious and the idea was novel. The two singers on stage cooperated perfectly, and their singing skills were on full display. Their performance was much better than in the semi-finals.

The audience listened quietly at first, then gradually gasped and clapped in rhythm.

In the special guest section, several guests nodded and chatted in hushed tones, their faces full of admiration.

They are all professional musicians and are particularly sensitive to the quality of a song.

This song is great!

Ye Xiaohui sat there, listening to the constant praise around him, and looking at the two radiant figures on the stage, his jealousy and resentment burned even brighter.

"The whole world is learning Chinese"

Confucius's words are becoming increasingly international.

The whole world is speaking Chinese

Our words are something the world must listen to.

On stage, Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu exuded charisma and delivered a heartfelt performance.

Below the stage, five hundred audience members listened with rapt attention, a sense of national pride welling up within them.

When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted.

Yu Nuannuan and Liao Yuzhu exchanged a smile, both seeing a sense of relief and a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

Just as they were about to bow and leave the stage, the host quickly walked up and called them back.

"Please wait, Bamboo, it's warm!"

The host said with a smile, "This stage is so wonderful today! I believe many viewers, including myself, enjoyed it very much."

However, before I ask you two to go and rest, I have a small question that many netizens are also concerned about, and I'd like to ask it on your behalf.

The host paused, then his tone became gentle and serious:

"We all know that because of some past misunderstandings and the recent unexpected semi-final, the relationship between the two has been under special scrutiny."

For a long time, you were even seen as 'sworn enemies' by outsiders.

Today, on this stage, is there anything you two would like to say to each other, or to the audience who have been following you all along?

The stage lights shone softly on the two of them.

Liao Yuzhu took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, looked at Yu Nuannuan, and then turned to the audience:

"First of all, I would like to express my special thanks to Nuannuan for believing in me again and standing on this stage."

Many things in the past... were misunderstandings and regrets.

But music and the stage shouldn't be bound by those things.

Today, we stand here, singing "Chinese Language" to express our true feelings.

Yu Nuannuan took over, her smile clean and firm: "Sister Zhu is right."

Music is a bridge, not a wall.

I cherish this opportunity to collaborate, and I hope everyone will pay more attention to our work and our performances.

Let those negative comments remain in the past.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

This time, the applause was tinged with understanding and blessings.

Sitting in the guest seats, Lin Yi looked at the two people standing side by side on the stage, and a smile appeared on his lips.
