Unlike Rosalin, Lu Wanxing did not experience a long period of slump after her debut.
Thanks to his sister's new songs, he has never experienced a low point since his debut.
To his peers, the difficulty of his singer level improvement might seem as simple as eating and drinking.
In a sense, that is indeed the case.
Because he has connections and resources.
Most importantly, you need to have enough talent.
But Lu Wanxing isn't a coin; she can't please everyone.
For every person who likes him, there is someone who will spare no effort to slander him.
Especially since the rise of Tangxing Entertainment, rumors have been spread casually during the infighting among its peers.
Lu Wanxing was verbally abused and insulted to her face while she was performing live.
Back then, he would occasionally browse forums and Weibo in his private time.
I've seen all sorts of comments.
Moreover, people sometimes have a bit of a 'perverted' nature; the more offensive the reviews, the more they want to take a look.
After that period, her agent confiscated her phone, and many people comforted her, but when Lu Wanxing thought back on it, she still felt complicated.
Seeing Louis being criticized by so many people simply for not giving a 'shocking' performance, he couldn't help but recall those times.
Lu Wantang glanced at him, paused in her hand as she picked up the potato chips, then casually said as if she hadn't noticed anything:
"This is normal."
"There are reports online that many people in real life are actually mildly intellectually disabled, but they are not discovered because they can take care of themselves."
"Don't try to reason with them. They live in their own world forever. They think the sky is flat, and no matter how you explain it, it's useless."
"Since they're all fools, you just have to take the loss and let them have their way."
The tone was rather flat.
Lu Wanxing listened and then burst out laughing.
Seeing that the person who was about to become emo was 'brought back', Lu Wantang's attention returned to the program.
"Who do you think is better in this round, Louis or Metallica?"
"That might depend on how many fans the red and blue teams have on the judging panel."
If this band has a large fanbase and accepts Metallica's tribute performance, then Metallica will be the winner.
Lu Wantang nodded, clearly thinking the same thing.
After Louis, the fourth to appear was Sean.
He sang a ballad of moderate difficulty.
The comments section also included a "科普" (popular science) explanation, stating that this song is the OST for a recent TV series from Xizhou.
This show has high viewership ratings in the West.
It tells a rather heart-wrenching love story.
Sean's performance was as consistent as ever, without any mistakes, but it wasn't particularly outstanding either.
Even the applause at the scene seemed rather ordinary.
But no one said he sang badly.
Lu Wanxing, who had been commenting on each person's comments, fell silent at this point.
Lu Wantang raised an eyebrow and suddenly spoke:
"I think Shawn can stay until the final match."
"Huh? Shouldn't that comment be given to Louis? He performed very well in the last two episodes, or it could be given to Chen Yubai if he can maintain his composure."
“You also said ‘if’.” Lu Wantang gestured for him to look at Sean. “Sean’s ‘stability’ doesn’t need ‘if’.”
Finally, he countered with, "Don't you think so?"
Lu Wanxing frowned slightly, recalling Sean's performance in the three rounds of competition in the previous episode.
If Lu Wantang didn't specifically mention it, he would simply ignore her.
Now that I'm bringing it up on purpose, it's brought back memories related to Sean.
Indeed, Sean seems to sing particularly well no matter what.
This is both his strength and his weakness.
His advantage is that he is not affected by any external factors. Even if other guests perform exceptionally well, his performance does not fluctuate much.
The downside is the same: he played too steadily, giving the impression that he didn't have any standout moments.
This is probably related to his timbre.
Having a pleasant voice doesn't necessarily mean you have a unique voice.
That's Sean.
Besides, his personal presence is rather low...
"He's definitely very steady... but why is his presence so low? Is it because he doesn't like to talk? But Louis doesn't talk much either!"
"It's probably because of the aura," Lu Wantang said, not particularly curious about it.
More than seeking recognition, she cares about her 'prediction': 'I guess Shawn will make it to the finals. How about we place a bet?'
"What are we betting on?" Lu Wanxing turned her head. "You pay my salary and allowance, what can we bet on?"
Lu Wantang clearly hadn't considered the stakes. Her gaze swept across the large home theater, then suddenly, as if remembering something, she snapped her fingers:
"How about we record a few videos if we lose?"
Lu Wanxing looked wary: "Let's make this clear first, I still want to be a singer. I can't do anything too shameful..."
Although he claims he is not an idol, artists still need to maintain their image.
This is a basic need.
"Don't worry," Lu Wantang waved her hand. "I know what I'm doing."
"The video content is just me standing on that fat-burning machine in the living room and singing a few songs. How about it? Let's agree beforehand that the other party will choose the songs."
Lu Wanxing thought for a moment, "That device that shakes when you stand on it? I've never seen you use it."
“That’s the one,” Lu Wantang said. “I asked Brother Yun to buy it for me on a whim. I don’t think I’ve had a chance to use it yet. I went straight to Beizhou and then completely forgot about it.”
"Row."
Lu Wanxing nodded in agreement, "Then I'll bet that Sean won't make it to the finals and will be eliminated early."
The siblings exchanged a glance and gave each other a high five in perfect unison.
"The bet is set!"
Before the words were even finished, the fifth guest had already appeared.
The fifth to appear was Cleefia.
Her luck with the lottery seemed to be quite good, always hovering around the middle few numbers.
A week later, Cleifia's voice had clearly recovered.
She seemed to have planned to shine on this show from the very first performance, choosing songs that were quite challenging.
This time is no exception.
[Why is it such a difficult song again?]
[Did Clementa choose her own song or was it required by the production team?]
[At your age, why make things difficult for yourself?]
[So what if I'm old? I can sing whatever I want. Anyway, I don't have much time left on stage, so I might as well let loose.]
[Hopefully, this time there won't be any mistakes.]
[I'm so nervous! If something goes wrong again tonight, will Clementa have to leave the show early?]
[come on! ]
……
Compared to other guests, the comments were indeed more lenient towards Clavia.
It's unclear whether the production team was involved.
Fortunately, her voice didn't have any problems this time, and she performed the entire song perfectly.
"Listening to Clavia sing is a pleasure."
"Even if the pitch drops in the second half, it won't affect anything."
Lu Wanxing's evaluation came late, but it did arrive.
His words resonated with the sentiments of countless people.
When people say these things, they also carry a sense of regret at seeing a beauty grow old.
