Wang Shu guessed that Deng Xiaoqi must have practiced the song countless times overnight to interpret it more perfectly today.
When Deng Xiaoqi gave her opening remarks just now, he could even feel that her voice was a little hoarse.
"Xiao Qi doesn't seem to be in her usual state today!"
Backstage, Zhang Ji muttered to himself while watching Deng Xiaoqi on stage.
"You're not as good as her. I really don't know why you guys worked so hard last night."
Wang Shu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ji beside him and retort.
"Isn't it to be able to stay on this stage? After all, I've been ranked last for several consecutive rounds. If I don't work hard, there will be no chance."
Hearing Wang Shu's words, Zhang Ji scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly and said.
Although he always appeared optimistic, only he knew that his situation was not optimistic.
The company had already put him on a semi-free-range status. If he didn't work hard, he would probably be blacklisted.
After the draw, the first contestant for today's competition was surprisingly Zhang Ji.
This made Zhang Ji, who was dozing off the second before, shiver and instantly sober up a lot.
"Good luck!"
Before going on stage, Wang Shu patted Zhang Ji's shoulder and encouraged him.
However, Zhang Ji was still a little unsure, as he had never sung such a passionate song on stage before, so he was very worried whether his fans could accept this style.
But with things as they were, Zhang Ji still strode forward with his head held high and chest out towards the stage.
"Next, please welcome our first contestant of this round! Zhang Ji! His performance song is 'Inverse War'!"
On stage, Deng Xiaoqi announced while looking at the card in her hand, but when she saw that Wang Shu was the lyricist and composer of Zhang Ji's song, she couldn't help but pause for a second.
"Inverse War? What a chuunibyo name!"
"When did Ji Ge change his style? Weren't his songs always gentle and melancholic before?"
"I haven't heard of this song before. Could it be Ji Ge's new song?"
Regarding this song, 'Inverse War,' Zhang Ji's fans in the audience were also full of doubts, as they had never heard its name before.
Moreover, this song was different from Zhang Ji's usual melancholic and gentle style, instead, it was like a passionate battle song.
"Zhang Ji has good vocal conditions, but he lacks good works!"
"Yes, this singer has strong talent, but unfortunately, he hasn't met a good lyricist. His voice is very energetic and penetrating, but the songs he chooses are all soft love songs."
"I say, even if this kid just shouts a military song, he wouldn't be ranked last every time!"
At this time, hundreds of public judges below the stage were whispering.
They were very satisfied with Zhang Ji's vocal conditions and singing skills, but the songs Zhang Ji had chosen since entering the competition were not ideal.
Not only did it fail to bring out the characteristics of his voice, but it even magnified some of his shortcomings. Therefore, in the previous few rounds, he was basically at the bottom, and he was even almost eliminated.
If it weren't for Hua Cheng Yu, that sorcerer, causing trouble, Zhang Ji would have said goodbye here in the last round.
A beam of light illuminated the dark stage. The stage that was empty just moments ago now had a man in combat gear standing in the center.
The dark circles under his eyes and his tired state, caused by staying up late, instead echoed the background of having just experienced a war.
"This outfit is quite interesting!"
Gao Dajin, a professional consultant for the show, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Ji's costume on stage.
A few seconds later, as the song's rhythmic and powerful prelude began, the public judges in the audience all looked up at the stage.
When Zhang Ji sang the lyrics of 'Inverse War,' the public judges couldn't help but show expressions of approval.
Because this song was the most fitting for Zhang Ji's chorus. His already penetrating voice, combined with such a passionate song, allowed the listeners to have a strong sense of immersion.
In an instant, many audience members were taken by Zhang Ji to a battlefield ravaged by war.
When the song reached the second verse, many audience members were even singing along loudly with Zhang Ji.
"Come on Inverse War, Inverse War is here, the ace wants to be wild.
Conquer the universe and pacify the world.
Oh Inverse War, Inverse War, the wild ace wants to vent.
Battle is our stubborn starting point..."
For a time, all the audience members in the venue spontaneously sang along to the rhythm of the song.
The waving glow sticks and the loud cheers directly brought the atmosphere to a climax.
"Wang Shu, how many more surprises do you have in store for us?"
In the control room, Gong Tao couldn't help but sigh as he watched the atmosphere on stage on the monitor.
He never expected that a single song could bring Zhang Ji, a singer who was on the verge of elimination, back to life and ignite the entire audience.
It should be known that the show "I Am a Singer" has a wide audience, but the five hundred public judges span five age groups.
The fact that Zhang Ji, a singer who had been at the bottom in the previous rounds, could create such an explosive atmosphere on site was enough to show how powerful this song was.
Backstage, several singers who were initially relaxed became increasingly solemn after seeing Zhang Ji's explosive performance.
Because for them, the original Zhang Ji had always been at the bottom, so they didn't pay much attention.
But they never expected that Zhang Ji today seemed like a different person, changing his style and even bringing the entire atmosphere to such a fever pitch.
"No wonder Zhang Ji wasn't in the hotel all night yesterday. It turns out he changed the song overnight!"
Zhou Xing said with a sudden realization.
"I really don't know who gave him this song so suddenly. He definitely won't be at the bottom today."
Zhang Bichen looked at Zhang Ji on stage with envy in his eyes.
Only Wang Shu leaned on his seat and rested with his eyes closed as if nothing had happened, as if everything was irrelevant to him.
Meanwhile, Xu Yunshang, who had secretly walked up to Wang Shu at some point, whispered in his ear, "You wrote this song, didn't you?"
"Smart!"
Wang Shu replied without opening his eyes.
He didn't expect this little girl Xu Yunshang to be getting smarter and smarter, guessing that he had written this song.
"Aren't you just creating more opponents for yourself?"
Xu Yunshang asked Wang Shu, puzzled. After all, he was in competition with these contestants, so why would he write songs for his competitors?
"What competitors, I'm here to earn their money!"
Wang Shu opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yunshang with a helpless expression.
