Get the perfect music system at the start

Xu Fan looked calmly at the camera, also considering the question of which song he should sing if he were to sing another new song. This was something he needed to think about.

Just then, Wang Shengyi suddenly stepped forward and asked Zhang Dadao, "May I say something?"

Zhang Dada said, "Of course."

Wang Shengyi raised his head, his gaze calm, but with a hint of lingering satisfaction in his eyes. He said, "Xu Fan, our competition is over. In fact, I knew from the beginning that you sing better than me, you write lyrics more emotionally, and you play the guitar better than me. I admit defeat. So I concede."

The scene erupted in uproar, and the live stream chat was filled with a cacophony of discussions.

No one could believe that such a thing as admitting defeat would happen on a music program.

Wang Shengyi didn't seem to care. He continued, "I finished my performance because I wanted to show my best side, but I know that's not my reason to beat Xu Fan. I really, really like him too. It has nothing to do with the competition, it's just about the music."

Xue Laiyi said with some emotion, "Wang Shengyi, your courage deserves encouragement. You demonstrated your strength with your excellent singing voice, but this kind of surrender may become a stain on your life. Are you sure?"

Wang Shengyi smiled frankly: "If you are evenly matched with your opponent, or if your opponent is insignificant, then it is certainly not good to lose. But if your opponent is so strong that you can only look up to them, then losing seems to be something to be proud of. At least, I bravely faced him and sang my own song."

This statement is profound, yet it has touched the hearts of many.

This applies to both the audience at the venue and those watching the live stream.

Wang Shengyi's words were very straightforward, but also very realistic.

His sincere expression and words made many people subconsciously accept him.

Zhang Dada nodded and asked Xu Fan in the camera, "Xu Fan, Wang Shengyi has voluntarily given up. Congratulations on your successful advancement."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause. Zhang Dada continued, "The final battle of Tomorrow's Son, from nine to seven, has officially ended. Wang Shengyi and Zhang Xiangcheng have unfortunately left the stage. Let's give them a warm round of applause to thank them for their wonderful performances."

The applause continued, and Zhang Dada finished his explanation.

Because not all of the remaining seven people advanced.

Instead, the last-place winner will be eliminated based on the popularity ranking a week later.

Then the competition will proceed to the final battle between the remaining six contestants.

Six teams will be narrowed down to three to determine the champion.

In other words, the Tomorrow's Son Awards Ceremony is nearing its end, with only one week left.

===Chapter 89 Getting Flirted With===

Xu Fan watched Zhang Dada's introduction in the live stream and mentally calculated the approximate time.

The competition is nominally a nine-to-seven elimination round, but it's actually a nine-to-six elimination round, because one contestant will ultimately be eliminated based on fan votes.

He doesn't think he'll be eliminated by fans given his current fame, but is he sure he can make it back for the finals?

If I can't get back in time, am I supposed to resort to this kind of live streaming?

These thoughts only briefly crossed his mind before he set them aside.

There's always a way out; he still has many things to do.

Whether it's completing the mission, finding that book, or getting my mother treated, these are the most important things right now.

The competition didn't end there. After the results were announced and Zhang Dada revealed the later rules, the existence of the "Heartbreaking Old Iron Group" seemed indispensable.

The first "old buddy group" consisted of contestants from other tracks, while the second "old buddy group" consisted of friends of contestants from the nine major labels.

This time, for some unknown reason, the production team of "The Coming One" has managed to invite an incredibly strong and luxurious lineup.

As Xu Fan looked at the camera and introduced the group, Zhang Dada excitedly said, "Now, the most exciting moment is coming. Please welcome tonight's Heartbreaking Old Irons Group to the stage."

The scene shifts, and the camera focuses on a location where two men and a woman are sitting.

The scene erupted in uproar, and the live stream chat exploded.

Whoever these three are, they can stand alone and are all truly top-tier singers in the entertainment industry.

Andy Lau, the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene.

The mere presence of this one person in the Heartbreaking Old Iron Group is enough to cause an uproar.

Xue Laiyi is amazing, right? A top-tier singer in China, with over a dozen classic songs that have become hits across the internet. But even so, he still stands up and calls Andy Lau "teacher."

Because Andy Lau's talent far surpasses that of most people in the entertainment industry. Whether it's movies or songs, it seems like his appearance is a concert, and you can see his fans wherever he goes.

The audience cheered, and the live stream chat exploded.

Besides Andy Lau, there is also Xiao Zihan, a top-tier singer in the Chinese music scene. This female singer is an absolute powerhouse vocalist. Her control over music is like that of a carpenter who has been working for decades, with every aspect being perfect. She is also happy to keep learning.

The only regret is that half a year ago, Xiao Zihan was burdened with a negative label: rumors circulated that she was no longer a Chinese citizen, which led countless patriotic netizens to criticize her with various words.

She never explained, but because of this incident, both the entertainment industry and her fans have gradually drifted apart.

Her fame gradually declined from the top tier, and even showed a tendency to fall to the second tier.

But her talent and voice are undeniable; she deserves cheers just as much as she does standing here.

The last one is no ordinary person either.

Liu Yuanzhou is a top-tier singer in the Chinese music scene and one of the veteran singers. The title track of each of his albums has attracted countless fans. He was invited to come here tonight.

The appearance of these three members of the "old friends group" truly shocked netizens and the audience at the scene.

Even the nine major labels, including Xu Fan, were still shocked after hearing Zhang Dada's introduction.

Xu Fan certainly knows these three. After he finished singing "Xiao Chou", both Andy Lau and Xiao Zihan praised him on Weibo. Although he has not met the other one, he is definitely a powerful singer.

Zhang Dada said, "Heartbreaking Old Irons Group, let's invite Andy Lau to give his comments on our nine contestants tonight."

Yes, tonight's most painful comments are critiques.

Holding the microphone, Andy Lau smiled and said in slightly accented Mandarin, "Hello everyone, I am Liu Yehua. I am very happy to be here on The Coming One and to see such outstanding contestants. I watched the entire performance tonight and was deeply impressed and moved."

Then Andy Lau looked at Wang Shengyi, who had already been eliminated, and said, "There are bound to be bumps and stumbles on the road to success. You have already proven yourself through your efforts, and I think you will succeed."

This was a compliment, and Wang Shengyi nodded gratefully in thanks.

Then Andy Lau looked up at the camera and said, "Xu Fan, amateur superstar, when these two words appeared in front of me, I thought you were pretty arrogant. There are not many people in the entertainment industry who dare to call themselves that, even if they are amateurs. But after I heard your 'Sorrow', I realized that sometimes first impressions may be wrong."

Xu Fan thanked the camera, and Andy Lau continued, "Someone like me, over fifty years old, is still working hard for his dream. People say that I'm already at the peak, so why do I still work so hard? I want to say that this is my job. I'm not just facing the prospect of making money; I'm facing the fans who love me. I have to give it my all to do better because someone like me can easily fall from grace. I'm not afraid, but the internet is too advanced."

The scene fell silent. Andy Lau continued, "This song is really good, keep it up!"

This is the simplest form of encouragement, and also the highest form of recognition in the entertainment industry.

As he himself said, those who stand at the top are always prone to falling down.

Another meaning of this sentence is the hope that Xu Fan can maintain this love for music and continue on this path.

Xu Fan thanked him again, feeling slightly touched.

He may not know himself very well, but he knows his son well. Whether it's a movie or a song, or any kind of fan, he treats them all with utmost seriousness.

The young idol is going all out for money, but he's also giving his all to play the most authentic role and sing the most genuine songs for his fans. His thanks are also heartfelt.

Amidst continuous applause, Andy Lau handed the microphone to Xiao Zihan.

You could see the excitement on her face, and you could also see that her makeup was a bit smudged, so she must have been crying.

Holding the microphone, she said, "Actually, I came here tonight for Xu Fan. I listened to 'Xiao Chou' the other day and wanted to ask you to write a song for me. But then Zhang Dada gave me his WeChat, and I felt it was presumptuous. I'm a rather sentimental person, so I'm easily moved to tears by good songs. There's nothing special about me. I've gotten used to what I've experienced over the years, but when I think back, it still makes me incredibly sad."

The scene was quiet, and the live stream only had intermittent comments, because most people were listening attentively.

Xiao Zihan continued, "Tonight, you're not here, but I can see you. Your song 'Sorrow' shocked the entire internet, and your song 'A Person Like Me' made the internet boil and brought tears to my eyes. I came here to ask you in person if I could add you on WeChat and ask you to sing a song together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in commotion, and Zhang Dada looked utterly embarrassed.

Is Xiao Zihan here to cause trouble?

When did she become a loyal fan of Xu Fan? Is she flirting with Xu Fan in front of the entire internet audience? How can she ask someone for WeChat on a live stream?

The internet erupted in uproar.

Zhang Dada quickly winked at Xiao Zihan, but Xiao Zihan didn't seem to notice.

===Chapter 90 Questioning===

Xiao Zihan is a top-tier singer in China.

Even though her popularity has declined, she is still very well-known. Today, during the live broadcast of The Coming One, she asked Xu Fan in front of millions of viewers across the country if she could add him on WeChat.

The audience screamed excitedly, as if they were the ones who wanted to add Xu Fan on WeChat.

The fans in the live stream are going crazy.

Are all TV shows these days so unpredictable and shocking?

Nowadays, celebrities are all like this. Netizens have a rich vocabulary, with both pleasant and unpleasant comments echoing each other in the live stream.

This is why many variety shows are only pre-recorded. Because no one knows what will happen on set. For example, if this situation occurs, it can be edited in a pre-recorded show, which can create a different kind of humor.

But this is not a pre-recorded broadcast, it's a live broadcast.

Xu Fan, seeing that Xiao Zihan wanted to add him on WeChat, didn't think too much about it and said, "No problem!"

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement, and screams filled the air.

She actually succeeded in flirting with Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, I'd like to add you on WeChat too, okay?"

"Superstar, superstar! All your fans want to add you on WeChat. They're all fans, you can't be biased!"

The live stream chat was buzzing with discussion, and the atmosphere at the venue was equally electric, with cheers erupting.

Andy Lau gave Xiao Zihan a gentle nudge from the side, and Xiao Zihan finally reacted, her face turning pale.

She had already lost many fans because of her scandals, and now that she has made such a fatal mistake, she is filled with regret.

This is a live broadcast, not a pre-recorded broadcast.

But Xu Fan's song had really caught her off guard for a while, leaving her mind in a mess, which is why she forgot about what Zhang Dada had been reminding her about.

She was so excited that she couldn't control her emotions when facing her younger brother, Xu Fan.

She knew it wasn't because of Xu Fan as a person, but because of every song he sang.

The audience erupted in commotion. Xiao Zihan quickly apologized, sweating profusely. Zhang Dada, a friend of Xiao Zihan, seized the opportunity to change the subject, saying, "To the audience here and in the live stream, thank you, King Liu and Xiao Zihan, for your blessings to our nine major brands. Now, please welcome Liu Yuanzhou."

However, this topic doesn't seem to be able to shift the focus much, because it's being discussed both at the event and in the live stream.
