Chapter 77 - A Competition of Fathers Begins (2/2)
Very soon, it was w.a.n.g Guan’s turn. As soon as he showed up on stage, there was burst of hand-clapping from the audience before he started to sing.
The song that w.a.n.g Guan sang was Little Nazha which was very popular. However, w.a.n.g Guan sang it in a broken way which was extremely terrible, almost ruining the image of the song in the minds of the people present.
Some in the audience secretly pouted, others could not help but laugh, and some directly blocked their ears.
However, w.a.n.g Guan on the stage enjoyed his own singing very much and was excited. No a word of the whole song was on the tone.
Finally, he finished and the audience felt relaxed. Under the guide of w.a.n.g Hongbing, the w.a.n.g family applauded warmly again, and roared their appreciation.
Papa, what he sings is too terrible to hear,” The little fellow frowned and said.
Qin Haodong said, “It doesn’t matter. The next one is Tang Tang, and Tang Tang will sing a good song for everyone.”
At this time, the host on the stage called, “Please welcome the 6th partic.i.p.ator Tang Tang. Her song is “I am looking for my father.”
Qin Haodong, standing near the stage, was shocked. He didn’t expect that the little fellow had chosen this song. No wonder she wanted to keep it secret from him.
Tang Tang steppend on the stage. She was never shy when facing a large audience stage and she sang loudly.
“I am not afraid of rain, nor afraid of snow,
“Even in the falling snowstorm,
“As long as I could see him, see him everyday,
“No matter how heavy the snow is, I am not afraid,
“I wanna, I wanna find my father,
“Wherever I go, I want my father…”
The little fellow’s voice was sweet, singing very emotionally. Eyes with trails of tears, thinking of the children’s ridicule, the desire for her father, she cried as she sung.
Looking at the little fellow who performed heartily on stage, Qin Haodong was filled with guilt. During the past few years, he owed his daughter too much; his eyes unknowingly became misty.
The audience present was touched by the little fellow’s performance. When the song ended, many people’s eyes were filled with tears.
After a short silence, there was a lively applause on the scene. There was no harm without comparison. Both of them were little performers coming for the compet.i.tion, but the little fellow sang infinitely better than w.a.n.g Guan just now.
After stepping down the stage, the little fellow still had tears on her face, but she jumped into Qin Haodong’s arms cheerfully. “Papa, the song that Tang Tang has sung for you? Can I get first place?”
Qin Haodong kissed and kissed his daughter’s smooth face. He said lovingly, “Tang Tang is the best, the first place is definitely yours.”
w.a.n.g Jiani did not expect that the little fellow could perform so well that she said with excitement, “Tang Tang, you sing well. You will be a big star in the future.”
“A big star like Ouyang Shanshan?” the little fellow asked, her eyes blinking.
“Much better than her,” said w.a.n.g Jiani.
“Great, I want to be a big star, I want to be a big star!”
The little fellow smiled more and more happily.
On the other side of the hall, w.a.n.g Guan seemed to feel the threat from Tang Tang and said uncertainly to Ma Hong, “Mom, can I still win the champions.h.i.+p?”
Ma Hong said, “Of course, you are from the w.a.n.g family. No matter how well they sing, it is in vain.”
One morning pa.s.sed by, all of the twenty constestants had already performed on the stage. Now it came to the verdict from the judges.
Today, the tryouts didn’t adopt the way of grading directly on stage, but grading after all the performances had finished. Each judge scored the contestants one by one and then the scores would be summed up to the final score.
The seven judges got together and whispered, and their faces were embarra.s.sed. Among the total of 20 little contestants, the other 18 people could be scored very easily, but it was difficult to score the little fellow and w.a.n.g Guan.
The little guy sang the best. According to strength, she was undoubtedly the first place in the field, but w.a.n.g Guan was from the w.a.n.g family. Although his singing was terrible, w.a.n.g Hongbing had already greeted these judges one by one before the compet.i.tion. Moreover, w.a.n.g Guan’s grandfather was the deputy director of the Culture Bureau, who these people must respect.
In the end, the referee made a final decision. According to the original plan, he announced that w.a.n.g Guan won the first place in the compet.i.tion, and that contestant number six, Tang Tang was second.
However, he did this against his own heart, but let the deputy referee to announce it on the stage.
The deputy referee was secretly unhappy, but he had not other choice because he was the deputy. What he could do was to obey the arrangement and he took the microphone to go onstage.
Fortunately, he had years of experience, and had practiced the ability to say what he didn’t what to say.
“Today each contestant gave an outstanding performamce, especially w.a.n.g Guan. It is rare that at such a young age he has a style of the deep, husky voice, performing a children’s song with features of R&B.
“After a unanimous decision, the first place in today’s compet.i.tion is the contestant number five, w.a.n.g Guan!”
Just after he finished, the scene immediately boiled, mixed with discord and clatter.
“What the f.u.c.k! Such a foul move! So shady…!”
“How could they say that such a terrible voice is a deep, husky voice? Could it be more false?”
“None a word was in tune. How could they say it sounded like R&B? Who do you think you are?”
“I have heard that child number five was from a very rich family, that his father is a real estate developer. It seems that the compet.i.tion of fathers is at play!”
