Chapter Eighteen

  Luo Fei's whole body shook, and he subconsciously turned his head back.

  Behind him, four judges were stifling their laughter and almost got internal injuries. The director on the side quietly gestured to him to go back.

  What's going on here?

  Luo Fei looked foolish: "I... wasn't I eliminated?"

  "Who said you were eliminated? Did I say that?" Mo He Ping looked around in a circle, the other three judges all shook their heads, "Come back, haven't even announced the results yet and you want to leave?"

  "Ah!" Kuai Fei shouted loudly and ran back to the original place with a speed as swift as lightning.

  It wasn't until afterwards that he found out the judges had already selected over a hundred candidates and were completely exhausted, so they could only entertain themselves. Unfortunately, when Luo Fei came in, the judges were all high, so he was eliminated.

  "Wow," Tan Xiao Xiao clapped her hands together, "You know what? When I just heard you sing, I almost couldn't control myself from jumping up to cheer for you! You really gave me a huge surprise! You are the one who has excited me the most among all the voices I've heard so far!"

  "Yes, and he's only 19 years old, his future has a lot of possibilities, a lot of room for improvement!" Mo He Ping echoed, "Xiao Xiao, you know, there are many people who have received professional training since childhood, their singing skills are perfect, but their voices just can't move you. But Luo Fei is not like that. He said he didn't receive any training, but his voice has a kind of charm that makes me want to immerse myself in it!"

  "Good sound!" Alpa gave a thumbs up, "I'm passing you through here!"

  "I'm also going through!" Tan Xiao Xiao said.

  Mo He Ping stood up: "Of course I passed!"

  "Ruo Fei." The fourth mentor, Shi Dongning, had not spoken since Ruo Fei returned. Now, he calmly asked, "According to the rules, if three out of four mentors pass you, you can advance to the national top 40. But do you want all four to pass?"

  Luo Fei nodded: "I think so."

  "I'm different from the other three mentors, they are very tolerant of their juniors, but I'm not. Because a flaw is a flaw, no matter how many or how great the advantages are, it can't cover up the flaws." Shi Dongning said, "Your guitar playing technique has problems, if you play for more than half an hour, your thumb will hurt very much, and if you continue to play, the next day your thumb will be basically unable to do anything, right?"

  Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.

  Because Shi Dongning said it very correctly.

  "Your vocal range is wide, and high notes shouldn't be a big problem either. However, your pitch is off," Shi Dongning said. "Moreover, your mental quality is extremely poor. You're just a man who didn't get promoted, what's there to cry about? In the future, you'll encounter all sorts of difficulties on the road of life that are far more painful than this, and you'll still be crying?"

  Luo Fei lowered his head in shame.

  "However, I admit that you're a good seedling." Shi Dongning sighed and said, "I've seen all the videos of yours online. To be honest, I don't know if it's because of nervousness, but your performance today is far inferior to that day."

  "Huh? What video?" Tan Xiao laughed with great interest, "Teacher Shi, what video?"

  "It's just a series of videos, he hugs an electric guitar and sings by himself, being called something like the rock prince..." Apu scans.

  Luo Fei was taken aback, and Zhang Dàmǒu stared at A Pu.

  "As far as I know, you're currently performing at a bar, right?" Al asked.

  "Right," Luo Fei said, "I want to be a professional singer, so I'll go to the bar first to accumulate some practical experience."

  "Hmph." Shi Dongning's cold face finally cracked, "What combat experience?"

  "My friend told me that if I could handle the most demanding customer in a bar, then I would be able to handle the most demanding fan later." Ruo Fei said frankly.

  "What was the most difficult customer you've ever encountered like?" Shi Dongning asked with a smile.

  "It's a girl, she asked me to pretend to be her ex-boyfriend and sing her favorite song to her..." Ruo Fei said, recalling the memory.

  "What's her favorite song?" Mo He Ping smiled and said, "Come on, let's just say that Laughing Shuang is the female guest for today, you sing that song to her."

  Luo Fei bit his lip, lowered his head, and plucked the strings of his guitar with his thumb.

  "There was an ant named Marymarymary"

  Fell in love with Charlie across the street

  Unfortunately Charlie is just a cat

  Always thinking of fish in the river

  Just across the street

  Poor Mary can't get through

  Gazing at Charlie shrinking into someone's arms eating fish

  Every car on the road is going in different directions

  Everyone rushes to somewhere

  Is there a purpose or no purpose

  Just like Mary Ant.

  The original singer's voice is sharp and lazy, every word and sentence seems like a girl complaining to her boyfriend, Luo Fei sings with a pinched throat, not only does it not sound discordant, but also full of joy. Especially when he fully cooperates with the lyrics, his feet move around, sometimes catwalk, sometimes ant-like, until finally, his two legs are spread apart, like a four-not-like.

  "Alright, alright, stop singing!" Shi Dongning intervened in time, "If you sing again, Teacher Xiao will laugh under the table! I'll give it to you!"

  "Thank you, teacher!" Hong Fei jumped three feet high and almost ran to Shi Dongning on all fours, taking the big "pass" green card from his hand.

  Xiao Jin, I told you I wouldn't let you down and I didn't go back on my word!
