Chapter 1091: Please put your hands up and wave them for me!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The rain continued to fall!
The wind was still blowing!
But the atmosphere in the stadium had somehow reached its highest point!
"Ah!"
"This is so good that I could die!"
"Zhang Ye is so awesome!"
"Where did he get all those songs from!"
"Yeah, how did he write all that!"
"Could he have written them beforehand? Or did he come up with it spontaneously?"
"Damn, surely he couldn't have made that up on the spot, could he?"
"Then why does every line in the songs fit the atmosphere here so well?"
"Who knows!"
"This is what you call genius!"
"I love him to death!"
"A singer like that, a guy like that, how could anyone not like him!"
"Zhang Ye! Zhang Ye! Zhang Ye!"
On the stage.
Zhang Ye was already experiencing shortness of breath as he made his way down the stage. However, he did not look like he was tired at all. In fact, he kept smiling even though the raindrops were hitting his face. It was like he was totally unaware of it.
Han Qi was getting anxious. "Teacher Zhang, rest for a bit!"
Zhang Ye waved her off and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you have water?"
"Yes! Yes! I'll go get it!" Xiao Lu ran off to get some water.
Fan Wenli came up to him with an umbrella. "Director Zhang, you're like this." She gave him a thumbs up and continued, "Whether it's your singing, personality, or character, I'm really impressed by you."
The other singers and guests looked deeply at Zhang Ye.
They all knew that recording wouldn't continue anymore, so there was no need for them to perform. The cameras had been stopped, so even if you continued to sing, there wouldn't be anyone other than the ten thousand-odd audience members at the venue watching. Was there a need to continue singing? Was there a need to do so much?
Zhang Ye was feeling extremely thirsty, and he gulped down three mouthfuls of water.
Han Qi and Xiao Lu stood around him with umbrellas as they used towels to wipe his face and hair, wet from the rain.
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I'm different from you guys. All of you are better qualified and started at a better position than me. About my matters, Old Yao should know them the best."
Yao Jiancai was also present today. When he heard that, he laughed and said, "Back when Little Zhang and I were banned, we couldn't get any work and could not even take any commercial appearances. You could say that we were left with no options at all. Do you guys know what we ended up doing? We went to join the Crosstalk and Skit Competition. At that time, the stage was much smaller than this place that we're at now. There were also much fewer people in the audience, probably around a hundred to two hundred at most. We knew very well that Central TV might cut our scenes in the broadcast, but we still practiced day and night without rest and took our crosstalk performance very seriously. Every joke segment was rehearsed and tweaked so many times. You wouldn't know how it felt, but as long as there was a single audience member watching, we would definitely do our best and put on a good show."
Zhang Xia was silent.
Chen Guang was silent.
Liao Yiqi, Zhao Qiquan, and the others were also silent.
Yao Jiancai laughed and said, "So after that time, Little Zhang and I changed a lot. Picking what shows to appear on? Acting like big shots? Both of us know very well that we were not qualified to do so."
But now, they could do so.
They were qualified to be picky!
They could behave like big shots if they wanted to!
However, the motivation they experienced during those days was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. When they were at their wits' end, when everyone had left them for dead, when they were faced with so many sets of cold and doubting eyes offstage, someone had actually shouted their names in excitement, cried for them, and cheered them on. It was like a wisp of fire in the ice plains that was so heartwarming. From that, they knew they had not been totally given up on yet and that there were still people waiting for their return! That kind of feeling just couldn't be described with words. It was truly an unforgettable experience for them!
During our most difficult times, all of you accompanied us by encouraging and supporting us.
So now that you guys wanted to continue listening to us sing?
How could we not sing for you!
What reasons could we have for not wanting to sing for you!
Zhang Ye picked up his microphone and smiled. Then he went up onto the stage again.
Looking at his receding figure, Fan Wenli, Amy, and the others suddenly felt in awe of him!
The audience was screaming.
"He's coming!"
"Zhang Ye is coming back on again!"
"He still hasn't left! He hasn't gone yet!"
Applause rang out all of a sudden!
Round after round of applause. Some people even threw aside their umbrellas to clap with all their might!
Hearing the applause and seeing the excited crowd, Zhang Ye suddenly thought of many past incidents. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then, he raised his microphone.
Zhang Ye crooned 1 :
"Once again, I drowned in the sound of applause.
"You looked so excited in front of me.
"In the dark,
"the world has seemed to have stopped turning.
"Our hands are not needed for our hearts to embrace."
The audience froze!
Is this song…written for us?
Are you…singing this song for us?
Suddenly, Zhang Ye walked off the stage and strode toward the audience. Then he took out some foldable umbrellas and raincoats he found backstage and opened up one to hand to a female audience member who was sitting there in the rain and constantly shouting Zhang Ye's name.
That teenage girl was startled, and she immediately teared up. "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Ye handed the umbrella to her and sang:
"If I get lost in the storm one day.
"I know that you will heal the pain and allay it."
He handed another umbrella to a middle-aged audience member.
"Perhaps our worlds are always going to be a bit unique.
"But I know that you will stay with me through the bleak and shrieking storm!"
The teenage girl covered her mouth and started crying!
He walked another two steps before giving out a raincoat to a couple who was here with their child.
He did not open an umbrella for himself!
He did not put on a raincoat for himself!
Zhang Ye just sang loudly.
"Please raise your hands and wave them again for me!
"Then I will know just where you are standing!
"Life passes in a hurry!
"I hope we can share our glories!
"I hope our dreams will never fail!"
Pandemonium spread through the crowd!
Some of them started crying!
Someone raised their hands and waved them about!
Followed by a second person!
10 people!
100 people!
1,000 people!
"Please raise your hands and wave them again for me!
"Then I will know just where you are standing!
"Perhaps one day I'll get too old to sing or to walk!
"But I will still offer you my sincerest smile!"
All of a sudden, Zhang Xia led the way and walked over as well!
Fan Wenli!
Liao Yiqi!
Chen Guang!
Amy!
Li Xiaoxian!
All of them gradually followed as well!
They each held an umbrella in their hands and walked toward the audience. Then they handed them to the audience members who were still standing in the pouring rain and exposed themselves to the weather in the process of doing so!
A male fan was overwhelmed by this. "No, I can't accept this!"
But Fan Wenli did not say anything and just gave the umbrella to him.
Then.
Zhao Qiquan!
King of Oddity!
And all of the other singers also followed along!
Zhang Ye continued singing.
"Much thanks for going through thick and thin with me.
"Thank the Heavens
"that I have you to understand me.
"I'm grateful that we can still smile
"through our tears.
"Although we must treasure every single moment we have together!"
The rain overhead seemed to have stopped.
Zhang Ye looked up and found that there was an umbrella over him.
He continued walking forward and another umbrella opened for him!
With every step that he took, another umbrella opened up over his head!
Zhang Ye did not know why, but his hands started trembling and his eyes also reddened from out of nowhere.
Fan Wenli, Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, Amy, and the others had come forward and were standing together with Zhang Ye!
Zhang Ye sang loudly.
"Please raise your hands and wave them again for us!
"Then we will know just where you are standing!
"Life passes in a hurry. / I hope we can share our glory. / I hope our dreams will never fail!
"Please raise your hands and wave them again for us!
"Let us keep the love burning in our hearts!
"Perhaps one day I'll get too old to sing or to walk!
"But I will still offer you my sincerest smile!"
This was the last song of the day!
It was the last song on King of Masked Singers!
But this was not the end yet!
Believe me, anytime you guys need me.
I will surely be there!
I will definitely be there!
Everyone was waving their hands!
Everyone was waving their hands for them and shouting their names over and over again!
"Zhang Ye!"
"Zhang Ye!"
"Fan Wenli!"
"Li Xiaoxian!"
"Zhao Qiquan!"
"Zhang Xia!"
"Chen Guang!"
This song had elevated the concert to new heights!
A single person had made a stadium of 10,000 people wave their hands for him!
