Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The Shocked Audience

"Even if Mo Mo and Mechanical Warrior win, so what?"

A certain internet celebrity incubation company’s blogger, Ma Bo, who specialized in creating various variety show clips, shook his head and spoke to a friend beside him as he watched the barrage of comments on the screen.

"This kind of comparison has been unfair from the start."

As a blogger who earned a quick buck by cropping live variety show scenes to post on Douyin and Kuaishou, he had seen all sorts of shows within the circle and had long understood how they worked.

"What’s the identity of these two foreigners? Just second-tier singers from abroad. Mo Mo, as one of our country’s top domestic artists with such a huge fame, winning over them seems only natural to everyone online."

"If she wins, not many people will praise her; on the contrary, if the victory isn’t impressive, she is likely to be criticized."

He understood all too well. If Mo Mo didn’t perform well at the time, he didn’t know how many marketing accounts within the circle would clip and post that sequence to prove that domestic entertainment was crap, barely managing to compete with second-tier singers.

Although domestic entertainment really was crap, such naked mockery would definitely irk everyone.

Once irked, the arguments that follow would all turn into buzz. With the buzz, the money from traffic would just pour in, right?

"And for Mechanical Warrior, if he truly is what everyone suspects, a national team player, the pressure he faces would be even greater. The standards for a national team are naturally much higher."

Having raked in a lot of dirty money, Ma Bo still had some understanding of the psychology of the audience.

On the TV screen, the show continued, and the player in Ethan Green’s group took the stage.

Then, unsurprisingly, this person was completely overwhelmed and lost the competition by a huge margin of votes.

Ma Bo wasn’t surprised by this scene at all and just clicked his tongue, "If this part is cropped out and paired with a title about another domestic singer being crushed and beaten, the heat will undoubtedly not be lacking."

He didn’t plan to crop it. Although he also made money from traffic, he considered himself to have a bit of integrity as a self-proclaimed angry youth.

He disdained to earn such unpatriotic traffic.

Then the second group of singers appeared on stage, and Ma Bo thought it was about to showcase Mo Mo’s counterattack, but unexpectedly, another foreign singer came on in this second group.

The top two contestants from the auditions were directly brought onto the show.

It must be said, even without Mo Mo and Mechanical Warrior, this scene alone could generate quite a buzz.

Not to mention the additional heat from the suspected national team singer and the Heavenly Queen clashing with them.

Clearly, this was something the show’s production team had planned in advance.

Blatantly, the show intended for Mo Mo and Wu Mu to unmask and leave the stage in this episode; why not simply invite some heavy-hitting opponents to stir up even greater buzz?

If it weren’t for the fear of Mo Mo and Wu Mu disagreeing with the production team’s decision to pull such a stunt without prior notice, the director Sun Cheng would have wanted to rig the game, letting these two foreign singers face off directly against Wu Mu and Mo Mo.

On the show, the equally impressive performance of another foreign singer undoubtedly made the audience begin to worry whether Mo Mo could dominate them.

Thankfully.

Ma Bo’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the screen, "This part, crop it, crop it, Mo Mo’s response was brilliant! Switching to her English song, and it’s not a well-known one, she’s aiming to beat you fair and square."

If it had been a Chinese song, the contrast might not have been as clear. After all, with different languages, the listening experience would differ.

But with both songs in English, it became very obvious. One could plainly see that Mo Mo aimed to be stronger than Jina.

This is the only instance of a domestic entertainer winning after being dominated by two foreign singers recently on Singer.

Ma Bo felt that just clipping this scene and posting it online would definitely attract a lot of traffic.

He began to look forward to the remaining Mechanical Warrior’s performance, wondering if he could score a stunning victory like Mo Mo.

His friend also guessed beside him, "If the Mechanical Warrior changes his song, he should be able to win, given his high notes from the first episode, which were really impressive."

But to their disappointment, the Mechanical Warrior on the show didn’t change his song.

Could it be that he happened to sing a high note song that was good enough to win?

They speculated in their hearts.

The Mechanical Warrior on the TV screen began his performance.

"Scattered moonlight pierces through the clouds..."

Like the live audience, Ma Bo and his friend were immersed in silence.

Until the applause from the audience on-site broke into his emotions.

He suddenly woke up and couldn’t help but blurt out, "Holy shit, Wu sings that well!?"

He didn’t even call him Mechanical Warrior anymore, what kind of Mechanical Warrior is this, if this style isn’t Wu, I’ll chop my head off.

The comments were frantically scrolling past on the screen.

"It hurts, I just wanted to have some fun, but I didn’t expect to end up crying my eyes out here."

"Ah, the moment I realized it was Wu singing, I should have just left the stream. I knew Wu’s singing style, and now I’m socially dead. I’m wiping away tears on the subway, surrounded by people staring at me."

"You’re just being stared at, man. I was watching it in the cafeteria and started crying, and people came over to ask me what was wrong, and told me to cheer up because life is long."

"Just like that song ’I Remember’, it makes me think of my mother, and I start crying uncontrollably right here. I’ve been a fan of Wu’s from a long time ago, right after my mother passed away, when I came across his show. He captured my attention right away and accompanied me out of those dark times. Really, don’t laugh, but I used to dream that if my future boyfriend could be like him. After his career collapsed, I was turned off in an instant, it just disgusted me, but now...I kind of want to start stanning him again."

Who cares about foreigners now?

Watching the foreigners is just for fun, but Wu’s song, it’s sung right into everyone’s hearts.

Everyone is getting incredibly emo right now.

And after getting all emo, you can still continue watching the foreigners’ shenanigans.

The production team smartly didn’t cut to the foreigners before, to avoid interrupting everyone’s mood.

After everyone recovered a bit, the camera finally switched to the two foreign singers.

Watching the singers on camera, their faces go from an initial professional smile, to gradually becoming confused, to restless, to craning their necks to see, and finally to shock.

Ma Bo laughed heartily, "Ethan’s expression alone has already maxed out the show’s effect; it could totally be turned into a meme."

Apart from Ethan, the yet-to-reveal Jina next to him was even more impactful—halfway through listening, she repeatedly wiped her tears, looking like she was trying hard to hold back and maintain her image, but utterly unable to contain herself.

"Just cut this segment out, and those previous claims about domestic singers being a mess will immediately dissipate!"

Ma Bo declared confidently.
