Wow!

The venue erupted in an uproar.

Seeing himself as the center of attention, Zhou Yiyi felt very satisfied. He crossed his arms, sat up straight, and put on an expert demeanor:

"I practiced for three years before my debut, and I'm especially skilled in singing, dancing, and playing instruments. I'm also very familiar with the guitar.

I feel that contestant Dawei Tianlong's guitar playing isn't very skilled, and singing while playing is a bit of a stretch for him.

Moreover, his singing didn't move me at all. I wasn't immersed in the music the entire time; I felt completely taken out of it!"

Wang Xinzhe next to him looked at Zhou Yiyi in astonishment, thinking, This is singing, not acting. Who are you trying to break character for?

Zhang Zheng slowly raised his hand to cover his face, his body trembling slightly.

He was about to lose it!

Zhang Zheng was in a band himself. For musicians like them, the guitar was as essential as chopsticks are to someone eating their fill.

He had only heard the first few notes of Dawei Tianlong's guitar playing and immediately recognized a master.

This kind of skill couldn't be developed without at least ten to twenty years of dedication.

Yet, Zhou Yiyi, this fool, dared to negate over a decade of skill based on his so-called "three years of practice"?

It was like an ignorant elementary school student yelling at a university professor, calling him uneducated.

This was just laughable!

The beautiful host was also a bit speechless, but Zhou Yiyi had a large following.

She didn't dare offend Zhou Yiyi's rabid fans, so she turned to Lin Mu behind the curtain and said:

"Contestant Dawei Tianlong, do you have anything to say about Teacher Zhou's critique?"

Lin Mu impatiently said, "Just vote already."

Junior Feng was still staring at him with wide eyes. Every extra minute on stage was an extra minute of danger.

The sooner this was over, the sooner he could pull up his pants and leave.

"..." The female host froze.

The audience was also silent.

What did that mean?

Someone whispered, "Is he dissing Zhou Yiyi?"

The person next to him replied, "Seems like it? I smell gunpowder."

"Holy crap, no wonder Teacher Zhang calls him Brother Long."

"Brother Long is awesome!"

Some people actually started calling Lin Mu "Brother Long."

"Our Gege practiced hard for three years, his words are definitely correct!"

"A clown seeking attention, isn't he just trying to ride on our Gege's popularity?"

There were quite a few of Zhou Yiyi's fans in the audience. These girls were furious that Lin Mu dared to talk back to their giegie.

"Heh."

Zhou Yiyi hadn't expected Dawei Tianlong to dare to talk back to him. He let out a cold laugh. He wants me to vote quickly?

Fine!

He directly slammed the red light.

Another wave of discussion swept through the venue.

Actually, any normal person could tell the quality of the song Hill and that Dawei Tianlong's performance had no flaws.

Even Wang Xinzhe and Zhang Zheng had unhesitatingly cast their "pass" votes. Yet, Zhou Yiyi had hit the red light.

This was...

Great for the show's engagement!

The audience was excited. A happy ending for everyone was boring; they wished the contestant would rush out from behind the curtain and start fighting with the judges.

That would be truly entertaining!

"Very good, continue."

Chen Xin's voice came through the host's earpiece. She smiled and looked at Feng Bingbing:

"Teacher Feng Bingbing, the vote in your hand is crucial now. If you choose to pass, contestant Dawei Tianlong will directly advance to the top 80.

If you also give a red light, Dawei Tianlong will enter the waiting area.

Now, please make your choice."

As the host spoke, all eyes turned to Feng Bingbing.

The other three judges also turned their heads to look at her.

Wang Xinzhe and Zhang Zheng felt a hint of shared indignation, thinking that with Feng Bingbing's skill level, she couldn't possibly be as blind as Zhou Yiyi, right?

Zhou Yiyi, on the other hand, wore a smile, looking quite confident.

In his opinion, Feng Bingbing was the same age as him and surely wouldn't like this song either.

His saying he disliked it first had undoubtedly paved the way for Feng Bingbing, and she would definitely be very grateful to him.

At that time, he and she would be young singers daring to say "dislike," gaining popularity, and perhaps even the beauty.

Zhou Yiyi looked at the youthful and beautiful Feng Bingbing, his mind already starting to imagine.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Feng Bingbing finally spoke:

"I'd like to ask contestant Dawei Tianlong a few questions, is that okay?"

The female host smiled and nodded, about to speak.

"No."

A mechanical male voice came from behind the curtain.

The entire audience was stunned.

The female host, who was about to say yes, was also dumbfounded. She turned to look at the thick curtain, as if wanting to rush in and drag out this person to see who he really was.

Didn't you just confront a top star?

And now you're confronting the popular Little Diva?

Behind the curtain, Lin Mu also had a helpless expression.

He had no psychological burden confronting Zhou Yiyi, but refusing Feng Bingbing was unavoidable.

Damn, I'm too familiar with Junior Feng!

It's too easy for her to get something out of me in just a few sentences.

Too much talk leads to mistakes, so it's best not to say anything.

Just as the audience and hosts were dumbfounded, Feng Bingbing, as if she hadn't heard Lin Mu's refusal, directly began her question:

"This song, Hill, is full of life experience. It feels like only someone of considerable age could write it.

But I heard the song you sang in the preliminaries, and your voice sounded very young.

I'm a little curious, contestant Dawei Tianlong, how old are you, really?"

Upon hearing Feng Bingbing's words, Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe also remembered. In the clip of the S Card contestants from the preliminaries they had watched earlier at Director Chen's place, Dawei Tianlong's voice had indeed sounded very young when he sang Quiet.

The two exchanged a surprised glance.

Can one person's voice change that much?

Zhang Zheng nudged Wang Xinzhe, "Can you do that?"

Wang Xinzhe spread his hands and looked at Zhang Zheng, "I sing love songs, how could I? Can you?"

Zhang Zheng gave a wry smile and shook his head, "I sing rock, I can't do it either!"

Damn it!

We've encountered a monster.

Their eyes met, and they cursed in unison.

With Feng Bingbing's question, the audience's attention naturally focused on the stage.

Lin Mu, behind the curtain, saw the situation outside through the display screen.

Damn it, all he wanted was to sing one song, pass the qualification, and get off the stage quickly.

The last thing he wanted was to be the center of attention for the entire audience.

Now, thanks to Junior Feng, he'd been pushed to the brink.

Feng Bingbing had indeed heard his performance in the preliminaries, this is trouble!

After a moment of silence, Lin Mu said expressionlessly, "Host, I want to go down."

"???"

A moment of silence followed, everyone was a bit confused.

Huh?

The beautiful host froze.

The mentor is asking you a question, and you're saying you want to go down?

It was only when Chen Xin reminded her through her earpiece that the host reacted and said with a smile, "It seems this contestant is a bit shy facing our Little Diva.

Contestant Dawei Tianlong, do you know how many people would give anything to speak with Feng Bingbing?

This is also an opportunity to showcase yourself, don't be shy, be brave."
