On the stage.
Dong Shanshan announced loudly, "The grand champion of the first season of King of Masked Singers is—The Clown!"
All the caras focused on The Clown!
All the guests and audience mbers stood up to clap for him!
Han Qi cried as she hugged Xiao Lu, who was next to her, and shouted, "We've won! We've won!"
Spinach's tears were also flowing. Teacher Clown! Thank you! Thank you! You've really carried out your promise to ! I will continue journeying down this path. From now on, I won't waver again!
A miracle!
This was a crazy miracle!
The Clown had managed to jump from last place with slightly over a million votes to first place with his final song and in the last few minutes of voting. There had never before been such a turn of events at any of the other singing competitions! Never!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
King of Oddity felt a sense of bitterness.
Flowing Ti was crying out "impossible" over and over again in his head!
He should have been the champion!
The grand champion was supposed to be him!
But why did it end up like this?
Why did so many people vote for The Clown?
This influence, this appeal, this singing, they couldn't have co from soone who was just an unknown!
Who are you?
Just who the hell are you?
Suddenly, a female audience mber shouted, "Take off your mask and reveal yourself!"
Instantaneously, many others joined with her!
All of the audience started chanting in unison!
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
"Reveal!"
Then, even the guests followed along and chanted!
Zhang Xia laughed and said, "Reveal!"
Amy said loudly, "Reveal!"
Fan Wenli said, "Reveal"
Li Xiaoxian said, "Reveal!"
Zhang Yuanqi was keeping a close eye on The Clown, who was walking away.
Zhang Ye exited the stage and went backstage to change costus. He still had another song left to perform as the competition allowed the grand champion to get one final performance!
Dong Shanshan looked slightly excited onstage. She said loudly, "Today, the first grand champion of King of Masked Singers has been born. We're extrely excited to witness the birth of a legendary singer. Perhaps he might have been an unknown singer that few know of. Perhaps he might have been a bright and shining star. We don't know who he was, but we all want to know who he is. We all want to see what the face beneath The Clown's mask looks like, and to know what sort of a person he is!"
The theater fell silent!
The ho viewers were staring at their TVs with hanging jaws!
Dong Shanshan said loudly, "Now the chance has finally co after waiting so long. The Clown will be taking his mask off very soon. I know you're all as anxious as I am, but please give Teacher Clown a minute to get changed. He still has one song left to perform. Later, during the song, The Clown's identity shall be revealed!"
...
Weibo was blowing up!
The King of Masked Singers' thread was flooding with comnts!
"He really won!"
"He's finally going to reveal himself!"
"Quick, go and watch Beijing TV!"
"The Clown is going to reveal his face soon!"
"I freaking wanna know who the hell this saint is!"
"He's really amazing! Amazing!"
"What? The Clown was crowned champion? Didn't he have no chance? I stopped watching just now! What happened? What happened during the last few minutes?"
"Previous poster, just go and cry yourself to sleep!"
"Sothing big happened during that ti! The Clown totally turned the tide with his efforts!"
"Holy shit! Seriously? He could even catch up in those circumstances? Who on earth is he?"
"That's what we wanna know too!"
"Your question is being asked by people all over the country right now!"
...
Within the industry.
The music industry.
Whether it was the newcors, the active singers, or even the retired musicians, all of them were alard at this mont. They all had their televisions switched on and were currently staring intently at the screen!
"Did anyone manage to guess who he is?"
"No!"
"No one was able to guess at all!"
"Who is he, where did he get his songs—nobody knows!"
"He's about to reveal himself!"
"Wait for him to finish changing his costu!"
It was not only the people from the music industry!
People from other professions in the entertainnt industry were also watching their televisions in amazent!
Huo Dongfang was watching!
Ning Lan was watching!
Tang Dazhang was also watching!
...
The viewership rating kept soaring!
The viewership rating for King of Masked Singers at this point in ti had reached a historical high. Even when The Clown was singing "Exaggerated," the viewership rating was not as high as this mont!
Backstage.
The waiting room door opened.
Zhang Ye had changed into his costu and was about to walk out!
However, the staff who were standing and waiting outside were all surprised when they saw him!
Han Qi was stunned!
Xiao Lu was dumbfounded!
Dafei nearly fainted on the spot!
Xiao Lu pointed at The Clown's outfit and cried out, "A-Are you gonna wear that?"
Dafei said, "Did you change into the wrong outfit?"
The Clown laughed. "No, this is the correct one."
Han Qi said anxiously, "B-But how can you wear that? How can you wear sothing like that!"
However, The Clown said, "This is it. Let's go already!"
Along the way, all the staff who saw him were also startled, without an exception. They all stood there and watched him, dumbfounded, then turned to stare at each other with odd expressions!
At the venue.
The piano played!
The music was starting!
The audience was very confused by this.
"Where is he?"
"Why isn't anyone coming out yet?"
"Did they play the music too early?"
"Where's The Clown?"
"Eh, why is there music playing?"
Nobody was sure of what was going on.
In the audience, his mother was blinking and wondering what was happening.
His father peered at the waiting area.
Right at this mont, before even appearing on stage, The Clown's voice rang out through the venue. It was him speaking. He was speaking against a musical backdrop!
"There are always people asking why I ca to this stage. There are always people asking what is it that I'm trying to achieve. Today, I will happily answer those questions. The reason why I ca here and those songs that I chose were all for a dream that I have. A rather laughable, but very great dream."
The Clown's microphone was already connected to the sound system!
He was walking over from backstage!
The mood of the audience was once again lifted. Everyone pricked their ears up to listen!
With the piano accompanint, The Clown's voice drifted out from all sides as he recited.
"Put my visions and dreams
"in a slender seashell.
"Wind my roof wove of willows
"with the long song of the sumr cicada.
"I tighten the stays, the wind blows the sail through the morning fog.
"And I'm off,
"without aim,
"drifting through the blue sky."
The audience was stunned by what they were hearing!
What was this about?
A poem?
A…poem?
Zhang Xia's expression changed!
Jiang Hanwei's pupils dilated!
His mother suddenly stood up. "This…this…"
Zhang Ye's three sisters were also dumbfounded!
A lot of people's jaws dropped!
The Clown smiled.
"Night is a valley,
"the day a mountain peak.
"Sleep! I close my eyes
"and the world falls away.
"The horse of ti
"collapses.
"The yellowtail waxwing
"builds a nest in my carriage.
"I want to keep roaming the world—
"To deserts, jungles, the remotest spots.
"I impress my footprints, like seals into the earth
"and the world
"mingles into ."
The Clown's voice was getting louder and louder!
The outline of his figure could be seen. He raised his leg and stepped up onto the stage!
The audience started exclaiming in shock!
They were confused by what The Clown was wearing!
He was in his pajamas!
The Clown had worn his pajamas onto the stage!
He was even barefoot!
No one had dared to dress like this before!
This was a live show!
People from all over the country were watching!
Why aren't you wearing sothing more proper?
Why are you dressed so casually?
What are you planning to do?
What will you be singing?
The Clown stood onstage and looked at everyone with a smile.
"I want to sing
"a human song
"that ages from now
"will chorus through the universe."
Everyone was stunned with their mouths agape!
All of the audience and guests, as well as all the staff at the venue, had seemingly gotten their tails stepped on as they nearly jumped up in shock!
You…
You…
You're…
