Chapter 23

Those with talent can score 90 with just a little guidance from a good teacher, while those without talent may study for over a decade and still only pass.

[The above is too real and has caused discomfort; I have already reported it.]

Because the matter was resolved quickly, netizens were not greatly affected and instead started making jokes on Weibo.

Some people were interested in the song Ye Cang sang in the competition, as revealed by the program team, but when they searched online, they couldn't find any information about the song.

Finally, a music academy professor revealed the origin of the song.

A band that appeared only briefly during the most prosperous era of music, with a unique musical style.

All of these elements have brought the audience's expectations for this song to the highest level.

Backstage.

Li Zihang was exhausted by his grandfather's antics this week, so he simply turned off his phone to avoid the trouble and focused on preparing the song for the competition.

Therefore, he only found out the song Ye Cang was going to sing in this episode when he arrived at the competition venue.

Li Luan is a rock music fan and has collected many records and tapes. When Li Zihang was a child, he lived with his grandfather in the old house for a period of time. When he was naughty, he would take out these records to listen to, which was his initial musical enlightenment.

He had also heard the song "Mulholland Drive," and although he didn't particularly like it, it still left a deep impression on him.

He just didn't expect Ye Cang to use this song as the competition piece.

Ye Cang's two challengers in this round are not particularly strong. As long as he performs consistently like he did in the previous two rounds, given the judges' appreciation of him, advancing directly should not be a problem.

Grandpa had blind confidence in Ye Cang, and even came to the event.

However, Li Zihang was no longer nervous. After all, in his eyes, his grandfather was no different from those crazy fangirls, and even from his rivals.

No, just thinking about it makes me feel upset.

Li Zihang went on stage to perform, full of resentment. He was holding back his anger, and his performance was better than ever before.

The challenger from the same group was devastated.

With an almost predictable failure to win the challenge, Li Zihang became the first contestant to advance to the top five.

After that match ended, it was Ye Cang's turn to appear.

Just when the audience was full of anticipation, the production team cleverly inserted commercials.

Ye Cang walked out of the dressing room backstage, and Shen Huai was speechless when he saw him.

This time, Ye Cang dyed her hair blonde, wore smoky eye makeup, and had gold-rimmed glasses with a thin gold chain extending from the frame to the back of her head.

He wore a retro-style shirt and trousers, with a gold devil lapel pin adding a touch of sophistication. Coupled with his pale skin and indifferent eyes, he looked like a vampire lord who had just stepped out of a coffin.

Ye Cang's stunningly beautiful appearance couldn't overshadow his aura.

Not only Shen Huai, but even the staff member who came to call him onto the stage was stunned.

Ye Cang suddenly smiled and hooked his arm around Shen Huai's neck again, instantly transforming the vampire lord into a refined scoundrel.

Shen Huai snapped out of his daze, frowned, and pulled his hand down.

The staff member avoided eye contact and whispered, "Ye Cang, it's your turn to go on stage."

Ye Cang hummed in agreement and then looked at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai said helplessly, "I know, I'll be watching you from the audience."

I don't know what's wrong with this guy, but ever since that day, he insists on standing in the audience and watching him play every time he competes.

Ye Cang watched Shen Huai walk towards the audience before turning to the staff: "Let's go, we're getting ready to go on stage too."

As soon as Ye Cang stepped onto the stage, his outfit elicited screams from the fans.

However, when he stood in the center of the stage and inserted the microphone into the microphone stand, the venue fell completely silent, as if a mute button had been pressed.

However, as soon as the intro started, the audience was stunned.

The acoustic guitar plays a light and cheerful tune with a touch of retro charm.

But what about the car horns, the noise of the crowd, and the background music that doesn't match the main theme at all?

Was the wrong music played, or what?

However, other music gradually joined in, replacing the background sounds and creating a scene of extravagance and luxury.

At the same time, the smoke created by the dry ice dissipated, and the lights and projections completely recreated the scene of Hollywood in the last century, retro and luxurious, as if directly taking people into that crazy and beautiful era.

No one knows when Ye Cang started singing.

Without lyrics, his voice itself seemed to become an instrument, sometimes humming, sometimes growling. The style leaned towards psychedelic rock, yet it seemed to be more than that.

The audience was drawn into the song, and many closed their eyes to enjoy the bizarre and surreal scene.

Standing on the stage, Ye Cang seemed to have traveled through a century, strolling along Mulholland Drive during the heyday of Hollywood.

Even those who don't like the song have to admit that Ye Cang on stage is incredibly charming, making it hard to look away.

Ye Cang got into the swing of things and took the guitar from the guitarist's hand, playing an impromptu piece.
