184 Chapter 184. Out of Tune
From Chen Tong’s point of view, people who dressed strangely were all trying to attract attention. They were so childish that they wanted to die and live in their world. Moreover, it was said that rappers had terrible tempers and had stopped going to school early to learn to be bad. Look at how this Su Yan is dressed in a mess. He thought that he was handsome?
Chen Tong did not take Su Yan seriously. She felt that Chen Xi was still the best. He was gentle and handsome, and his songs were terrific. There were many of his songs on her playlist.
It was fate that she could be in the same program as Chen Xi. She should suggest that the program team let her and Chen Xi collaborate more on the stage. That would be called a handsome man and a beautiful woman. It would be more eye-catching, and the audience would love to watch it!
The executive director then went on stage and adjusted the microphone. He bowed politely and said, “Hello, everyone. I am the Executive Director of this program. My surname is Sun. Thank you for the great support from the five teachers. The recording is about to begin officially. May I know which teacher will go on stage first?”
Chen Tong stood up slowly and said in a reserved manner, “Let me do it.” The order of going on stage had already been decided. To be polite, director Sun asked again in public. Ding Shan and the rest understood. They did not have any objections.
Director sun nodded and turned around to leave the stage.
Chen Tong nodded at the others with some pride and walked backstage to get ready. Before she left, she even looked at Ding Shan with a slightly provocative look on her face. She seemed highly confident.
When Ding Shan saw Chen Tong’s meaningful smile, she knew that Chen Tong was the one who requested to be the first to go on stage. She probably felt she had a plan and wanted to take the lead and get a round of applause.
Ding Shan curled the corners of her lips slightly and did not give a response. Chen Tong might have some strength, but it was not to the extent of stunning people. Ding Shan knew this in her heart.
If she wanted to perform on stage, then let her do it. Ding Shan had no patience in playing any games of flattery and derision with Chen Tong. It seemed that Chen Tong had already treated her as a competitor, and Ding Shan did not want to bother about it.
After some preparation, Chen Tong walked onto the stage. The music started playing. Everyone present was a little surprised, but they quickly understood.
Chen Tong had chosen the most challenging song on her album. However, due to the great difficulty and strong melody, it was also the most popular song. It was reasonable for Chen Tong to choose this song, but it was too difficult; they did not expect Chen Tong to dare to sing the live version.
The staff present were all intrigued and looked at Chen Tong on the stage with anticipation.
Everything went smoothly when Chen Tong opened her mouth. After all, she had also debuted in a talent show. Chen Tong’s voice was sweet, accompanied by a beautiful and light melody. It was also quite pleasant to the ears. Chen Tong’s eyes were curved, and she smiled sweetly at the camera. She picked up the heavy hem of her dress and strolled on stage like a princess.
However, gradually, the music became louder, and the atmosphere became increasingly intense. Everyone was waiting for Chen Tong’s high voice to perfectly display the chorus.
Chen Tong took a deep breath, but her voice changed its pitch halfway through the song. Everyone’s heart was in their throats, but they followed Chen Tong’s voice and fell back to where they were. Chen Tong’s reaction was fast, so she adjusted it in time. She changed the high pitch to a standard pitch, so she could be considered to have muddled through.
The first high pitch failed, and the entire song became plain. Panic flashed through Chen Tong’s eyes, but soon after, the second climax arrived. Chen Tong was afraid. With the first failure, when Chen Tong wanted to try the high note again, her voice became tighter and tighter and started to go out of tune.
The harder Chen Tong tried, the more nervous she became. The song was a mess, and she made several obvious mistakes. The most eye-catching high notes all failed. It could only be considered that Chen Tong had barely finished singing the song, and nothing was outstanding about it at all.
The camera swept across the four people below the stage. Ding Shan’s expression did not change, nor did she intend to mock Chen Tong. She still smiled faintly and clapped politely. Li Yang was tactful. She commented very well, “Chen Tong’s voice is lovely.” There was no mention of singing skills at all.
However, when the camera turned to Chen Xi, he had a severe expression. He even had a faint frown. Not until he noticed the camera that Chen Xi immediately change his word; he smiled and said, “It is indeed lovely. It is very nice to listen to.”
Although the change in his expression was only for a moment, it was still noticeable. After all, Chen Xi was a musician himself. He was more sensitive to songs and had higher requirements. It was already very respectful for him to be able to say a few words of praise against his conscience.
