Chapter 831 - 831: Mufeng Could Not Wait Outside
“This is more than just a professional level.” Junjie was dumbfounded. After a long while, he turned to Teacher Lin and said, “If Jiang Xun didn’t start acting and debuted as a singer, she would undoubtedly be a skilled performer by now.”
“Actually, it’s not necessarily true. It’s safer to debut as an actor. Now that the music market is in a slump, many singers have the ability but cannot make a name for themselves. There are also many old-school singers who have been popular before, but they have also disappeared without a trace,” Teacher Lin said. “The market for movies and TV series is still bigger. With skill, one will eventually shine. Perhaps they won’t be popular, but they’ll have opportunities to perform in front an audience.”
“That’s true.” Junjie nodded in agreement. “Look at our show, as well as ‘Superpower 1 to 1.’ How many of the students from those shows are actively involved in the music industry? Most of them are appearing on variety shows and acting. Among the students who formed groups, very few have released proper songs.”
Jiang Xun put down the microphone and turned off the music.
“Director, I want to go back to the guest seats and continue filming the show. It won’t look good if my seat is always empty,” Jiang Xun said to Junjie. “Before it’s my turn to go on stage, I’ll come over to practice one more time.”
Jiang Xun knew her limits and her own level.
After hearing Jiang Xun’s performance, Junjie was very confident in Jiang Xun.
He even felt that Jiang Xun did not need anymore preparation. Therefore, when he heard Jiang Xun’s words, Junjie readily agreed, “Alright.”
Hence, Jiang Xun followed Junjie and returned to the front.
Luqi had been paying attention to Jiang Xun’s movements.
Although she couldn’t see it from here, she still glanced backstage from time to time.
Apart from Luqi, Youlan did the same.
The mentors of the two programs were on both sides, and in the middle were the three guests who had been specially invited today.
Therefore, Youlan and Luqi were unable to notice each other.
However, both of them had a tacit understanding to pay attention to Jiang Xun’s movements. Even though they couldn’t see Jiang Xun at all, they couldn’t help but glance backstage.
However, their persistence was not in vain. They still received their rewards.
Just when the two of them looked backstage at the same time and their minds were not on the stage at all, they saw Jiang Xun return accompanied by Junjie.
Luqi was surprised to see Jiang Xun sit back down. Luqi had clearly lost many times, but she still said in a low voice, “Teacher Jiang, why are you back so soon? You’ve finished practicing so quickly?”
Jiang Xun nodded. “I’ve finished practicing.” Luqi:
She almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Jiang Xun was really confident.
“Singing is not like acting. If there is a highlight moment in the performance, it will show that the acting skills are not bad. However, singing is something that genuinely displays one’s vocal abilities,” Luqi said. “I didn’t expect Teacher
Jiang to be able to master it so quickly.”
“I have good vocal skills,” Jiang Xun said indifferently.
Luqi:
I hear you bragging.
Luqi was about to speak again, but before she could make a sound, Jiang Xun said, “The students on stage are performing. Even if they are the students from ‘Superpower 1 to 1,’ you should still respect them. Don’t keep chatting when the students are performing on stage.”
Luqi was speechless.
Jiang Xun dismissed Luqi with a single sentence and began to watch the performance comfortably.
Although Jiang Xun and the others had temporarily stepped down from their role as mentors for this match, they still let the guests offer their feedback.
Jiang Xun didn’t have the pressure to perform later. She watched the show seriously and hit the nail on the head every time.
At this moment, Kejia bent over to look for Jiang Xun. “Teacher Jiang, let’s go and get ready.”
“Alright.” Jiang Xun nodded and left with Kejia.
Luqi looked on coldly. She wanted to see what Jiang Xun could deliver in her performance.
Youlan turned around and glanced at the audience.
In the audience, a man wearing a khaki baseball cap adjusted the brim of his cap and nodded at Youlan.
Youlan had already made preparations early in the morning. It wasn’t Yuexi’s idea to ask Jiang Xun to sing on stage today.
Youlan had already gotten in touch with Yuexi.
No one knew how many skills Jiang Xun had.
Youlan had the same thoughts as Yuexi.
Jiang Xun already knew so many things. She couldn’t possibly know how to sing, right?
If she did not sing well, she would lose face on stage.
However, if she sang well, Youlan had prepared herself for two scenarios.
And this person was sitting in the audience.
Jiang Xun practiced two times backstage before putting on her earphones and checking her equipment.
After there were no more questions, they waited backstage.
The students’ final performance ended. When the host gave the cue, the music started playing.
Because it was a last-minute decision, so the stage setup was also planned by the production team at the last minute.
Due to the lack of meticulous planning and arrangement, the stage given to Jiang Xun was not very beautiful. It was just ordinary.
Jiang Xun had yet to appear, but the first line of the song had already sounded.
[Damn, this is Jiang Xun’s song?]
[It’s not a lip-synching, right?]
[There are so many online experts. If she lip-syncs and they isolate the audio tracks later, it’s easy to catch. Does she really think the netizens are stupid?]
[Jiang Xun isn’t stupid, and she definitely won’t think that netizens are stupid.
If things really went wrong, it would not be good for Jiang Xun. How would Jiang Xun not know about this?]
[Yes, it’s a live performance. It doesn’t matter if she sings poorly, at least it’s a real performance. Moreover, Jiang Xun isn’t new to ridicule. In this aspect, her mental endurance is still very strong.] Someone commented. [It’s much better than lip-synching.]
[If she really sings, she’ll only be laughed at if she doesn’t sing well.
Lip-synching will ruin her reputation. She would not be so stupid.]
[So there’s only one possibility. Jiang Xun really sings so well.]
Then, Jiang Xun slowly appeared in front of the stage.
The big screens on both sides of the stage also showed a close-up of Jiang Xun on stage, allowing the audience in the back row to see it clearly.
[This is a live performance.]
[Damn, she’s singing amazingly, on par with professional singers.] [No autotune, but she’s definitely singing better than Xiang Luqi.] [Is there anything Jiang Xun doesn’t know?]
[Surely there’ll be some kind-hearted netizens who will isolate her audio tracks to prove whether she’s lip-syncing or not.]
Mufeng had work today and rushed over.
He had originally planned to pick Jiang Xun up after work today.
Who knew that while watching the livestream on the way, he would find out that Jiang Xun was going to sing for the finale today.
This time, Mufeng could not wait outside..
