AFVSIBS Chapter 190 Wu Heng's True Colors Revealed

Zhou Chen's sudden departure quickly escalated the situation, and in less than a minute, it shot up to the top trending topics.

Wu Heng was also bewildered because he didn't expect Zhou Chen to leave at this moment.

However, since his performance wasn't over yet, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue singing.

"Zhou Chen, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly leave?" Wan Fangfang asked immediately upon seeing Zhou Chen enter the backstage resting room, looking puzzled.

"Wu Heng completely ruined 'The Dream of the Sword,' and I couldn't stand it anymore. So I left," Zhou Chen replied.

"Well, to be honest, I couldn't stand the way he changed 'The Dream of the Sword' either. But your actions right now will stir up a lot of controversy, including opinions from Wu Heng," Wan Fangfang remarked.

"I don't care," Zhou Chen replied.

"Alright, let's go and explain to Director Zhao to avoid any misunderstandings," Wan Fangfang suggested, knowing that Zhou Chen's actions had violated the rules of the program.

"Director Zhao, I'm really sorry. Zhou Chen couldn't stand Wu Heng's performance just now, so he left impulsively," Wan Fangfang explained.

"I actually guessed that Zhou Chen left because he couldn't stand Wu Heng's performance just now. The lyrics of 'The Dream of the Sword' are very good, with a strong martial arts flavor, but his singing was simply too terrible and failed to express the essence of the lyrics," Director Zhao regretted.

"He changed my melody without permission. He couldn't even sing my original melody," Zhou Chen added.

"I also figured that out. How about this, I won't blame you for this matter. But when you go back, can you promise me to sing 'The Dream of the Sword' again?" Director Zhao, with a deep love for martial arts, sensed that this song was extraordinary. It was just that Wu Heng's skill level was too poor to bring out the excellence of this song.

Therefore, he hoped Zhou Chen could personally sing it.

"No problem. I only authorized him to sing 'The Dream of the Sword' in this episode of 'Our Music.' He has no right to sing this song anymore," Zhou Chen agreed.

"That's great. I'm really looking forward to your performance of 'The Dream of the Sword,'" Director Zhao said, full of anticipation.

Although Zhou Chen's behavior today violated some of the program's rules, Director Zhao wasn't angry. After all, he admired this talented young man too much. Moreover, Wu Heng's recent performance was indeed disappointing. As the lyricist and composer of "The Dream of the Sword," Zhou Chen couldn't accept such disappointment, so his behavior was understandable.

"Thank you, Director Zhao. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Goodbye."

Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time here. After a simple thank you to Director Zhao, he turned and left the program group with Wan Fangfang.

On the stage, Wu Heng continued to sing his modified version of "The Dream of the Sword," completely unaware of his "poor singing," "only able to sing bubblegum songs," and other hot topics that had surged to the top trending list.

It wasn't until after he finished singing and saw that the applause from the audience was significantly less than before that he seemed to understand something.

But his greatest advantage was his ability to control the scene. He didn't shy away or get nervous about anything.

He still smiled and bowed to thank the audience, then waited for the host to announce the next segment.

The next segment naturally was the voting session.

"The Dream of the Sword" received just over thirty thousand votes.

This set a record for the lowest number of votes received by Wu Heng since joining the program.

It also set a record for the lowest number of votes received since the inception of "Our Music."

"Oh my god, this time Wu Heng only got over thirty thousand votes. It seems like there's almost no hope for him to win the championship."

"Suddenly, it feels like the title 'King of Bubblegum Songs' that netizens gave to Wu Heng is right. After all, without singing bubblegum songs, Wu Heng really isn't anything. One performance of 'The Dream of the Sword' revealed his true colors."

"I finally understand why Zhou Chen suddenly got up and left. He must have already guessed that 'The Dream of the Sword' wouldn't get high votes. If he continued to stay at the scene, it would only be awkward, so it's better to leave early."

...

In the live stream, netizens began fervently discussing the fact that "The Dream of the Sword" only received over thirty thousand support votes.

Facing this result, Wu Heng was also bewildered.

Before the performance, he was full of confidence, thinking he could prove himself. But who would have thought he'd be slapped in the face so quickly.

Now, he only hoped that the score for "The Dream of the Sword" wouldn't be too low, otherwise, he'd be too embarrassed.

After seeing the votes for "The Dream of the Sword," the host also knew it was bad data. In order to avoid making Wu Heng uncomfortable and to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, she didn't dwell on this segment for too long, instead, she directly announced the start of the scoring segment.

But in the end, the score for "The Dream of the Sword" made the atmosphere even more awkward and made Wu Heng feel even worse.

Because the final average score for this song was only 69 points, the lowest score Wu Heng had received since joining "Our Music," and also the lowest score since the show began.

Wu Heng's performance of "The Dream of the Sword" tonight could be said to have set several historical lows.

At this moment, his expression was extremely ugly, like a storm.

He wished there was a hole he could crawl into to escape it all.

Even if it was a dog hole, he would hesitate to crawl into it.

"Oh my god, the score is also the lowest. It seems like Wu Heng is going to be directly eliminated in this round."

"This is the consequence of not singing bubblegum songs. From tonight's performance, if he doesn't sing bubblegum songs, he really isn't anything."

"The most incredible thing is, how can he have the audacity to ask Zhou Chen to write 'The Dream of the Sword' for him with his singing skills? If he hadn't made that request, maybe he would be the champion tonight."

"I see a deep despair in Wu Heng's expression. He probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Wu Heng, I think you'd better accept the title of King of Bubblegum Songs obediently. Without bubblegum songs, you would have been eliminated long ago."

...

Netizens in the live stream were deeply disappointed with Wu Heng's performance tonight. Some of those who had previously followed Wu Heng's Weibo were now unfollowing him one after another.

Wu Heng's Weibo fans also lost a third of their numbers in a short period of time, and the number was still decreasing...
