This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 101 Jiang Yaofeng: I'm sorry, President Guo, I have to give ten votes.

At this point, the song is coming to an end.

Lu Ran and Su Qingtang sang together, their voices deep and powerful.

Their voices merged together, echoing throughout the studio and reaching the ears of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"The country is my country, and my home is my home."

"I love my country, I love my home~"

"I love my... country~"

Red lights shone all around.

This is a touch of red that belongs to China!
As the song ended, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

The judges, the public jury, and the audience were all applauding.

Not a single person showed any displeasure.

Amid applause, the host walked onto the stage.

Even so, the area where Su Qingtang was located remained dark, and the audience could not see her face clearly.

The host announced, "Voting in the audience shall now begin!"

The audience members and the public jury members all picked up their voting devices.

After the voting ended, it was the turn of the three mentors to give their comments.

This time, Zhou Hao didn't waste any words: "Just for this song, I'll give you ten votes. Of course, in my opinion, your performance with this guest singer was also fine. It's just that I'm very curious about the identity of this guest singer."

After Zhou Hao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yaofeng, but Jiang Yaofeng was clearly still thinking about something and did not intend to speak.

Lin Xingchu simply picked up the microphone.

"Lu Ran, I didn't expect you to bring such a song this time. I love our country, and I really like this song of yours. You and your guest singer sang this song very well. I give you ten votes. I'm very curious, who exactly is your guest singer?"

Lin Xingchu voiced the question that had been on everyone's mind.

Lu Ran picked up the microphone: "To be fair, we'll announce the identity of the guest performer after the live voting is over."

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yaofeng.

Now only Jiang Yaofeng hasn't voted yet.

Many viewers in the live stream noticed the details in Lu Ran's words.

"Director Lu said that for the sake of fairness, why did he say that?"

"Is his guest performer the kind who can garner votes the moment he appears on stage?"

"What top-tier singer did Director Lu invite?"

"No way?"

There are naturally top-tier singers in the entertainment industry. Singers of this level can garner votes just by appearing; they are true superstars.

However, these singers have rarely participated in variety shows in recent years.

Moreover, he was invited by Lu Ran.

Even Star Media might not be able to invite them.

Many viewers typed the names of the singers in the live chat, making wild guesses.

Many people at the scene also noticed the problem.

Hu Nengkai whispered to the person next to him, "Who do you think Lu Ran's guest performer will be?"

"I don't know, there doesn't seem to be any singer in the entertainment industry who sings like that."

Hu Nengkai nodded, and said meaningfully, "So, this singer isn't from the entertainment industry. Do you think it's possible that he's from the national team?"

After analyzing the female singer's singing style, Hu Nengkai ruled out female singers in the entertainment industry.

This singing style, which combines folk and bel canto elements, is completely different from the popular singing style in the industry, so it's impossible for someone in the industry to be a singer like him.

It can only be those people from the national team.

Hu Nengkai had a few guesses in his mind. He thought the most likely one was Su Qingtang, but he also thought it was impossible. After all, he dared to guess but not believe that Su Qingtang would appear on this kind of variety show.

"Could it really be Su Qingtang? No way, no way?"

Only a national-level singer like Su Qingtang could affect the fairness of the show if she appeared.

Hu Nengkai even wanted to shine a flashlight on the stage to see who was on the other side. While everyone was speculating about the identity of the guest performer, Jiang Yaofeng was very conflicted.

He remembered his solemn promise to Guo Weicheng that he would give Lu Ran zero votes no matter what she sang.

What a slap in the face!
What a slap in the face!

Would he dare give zero votes to the song "The Nation"?
He wouldn't dare give even a single cent!
He wouldn't dare to do something like praising someone and then giving Lu Ran five votes again!
If he dared to say a single bad word about this song, he would be drowned in the audience's spittle.

This is no longer a matter of commenting or not commenting; a single wrong word could cause a major problem and seriously affect his career.

If it's truly a low-quality revolutionary song, he's willing to offer his critique.

But the song "The Nation" is not one of those low-quality revolutionary songs at all!

Lu Ran singing this song put him right on the hot seat!
"It was intentional! Lu Ran definitely did it on purpose!"

Jiang Yaofeng was caught in a dilemma.

He knew that Guo Weicheng was watching him from outside the screen.

His choice was crucial.

If we can't find problems with the song itself, the only place we can find problems is in the performance.

Jiang Yaofeng was in a terrible predicament, and he just wanted to find an excuse for himself.

Find a reason not to give ten votes.

But he couldn't find any reason at all!

In terms of singing skills, there is nothing wrong with him.

Both Lu Ran and the guest singer had flawless singing skills.

If we can find flaws in this, then all the previous contestants' performances were garbage.

Who exactly is this guest performer?

Jiang Yaofeng's rational mind told him that he had to play it safe this time and absolutely could not say or comment carelessly.

Jiang Yaofeng took a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Guo, I have no choice, I really have no choice."

He picked up the microphone and slowly said, "This song, 'The Nation,' brought tears to my eyes. Lu Ran, you and your guest singer brought a unique sound to the stage of the future King of Singers. I give you ten votes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

In a villa in Beijing, Guo Weicheng, who was watching TV, let out a cold snort.

He was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yaofeng's act of backing down.

Just one song scared you like this?
You can comment on singing skills even if you don't comment on the song itself!
You can say you didn't sing well.

"Useless!" Guo Weicheng cursed.

Guo Weicheng's anger towards Lu Ran had reached its peak.

Lu Ran received a full set of mentor votes at the event, and naturally, he also received a significant number of votes from the audience and the general jury.

Lu Ran is very likely to advance.

Besides Lu Ran, Guo Weicheng's hatred for Xu Zi is also escalating.

If it weren't for Xu Zi, Lu Ran would have been eliminated long ago. I wonder where he's working a summer job now. Singing? What a load of crap!
Guo Weicheng thought of Xu Zi's voluptuous figure in her business attire and wished he could use all sorts of means to ruthlessly ravage this woman.

At this point, the host on stage continued to have the audience judges give their comments.

Several members of the judging panel then spoke in succession.

Everyone raved about the song "The Nation".

Mainstream songs are not uncriticizable; some mainstream songs are just garbage, purely riding the wave of popularity.

Even some so-called mainstream films and television dramas are the same; there has never been a rule against criticism. You can't make an anti-Japanese war drama and then forbid the audience from criticizing it.

It takes courage to create an original song and perform it on stage.

The song "The Nation" is undoubtedly a masterpiece in everyone's eyes.

After everyone had finished their comments, the host turned his attention to Lu Ran.

"Lu Ran, the voting is over. Can we announce the identity of the guest performer now?"
