For the last episode’s final battle night, they decided not to broadcast a pre-recording, but to broadcast the event live.
Just like an important gala event.
This required the guests to have a full dress rehearsal on stage before the actual broadcast.
However, Shi Shulei had another trick up his sleeve.
Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi and Lu Xiangchen were their ultimate weapons for the final battle. They could not be revealed just like that.
There were too many people involved in the full dress rehearsal. If the participation of the three of them were to leak, they would lose the surprise factor.
Fortunately, Lu Xiangchen was still busy on tour.
Shi Shulei discussed with the three of them, and found a separate time convenient for Lu Xiangchen to come over.
Liu Jingshen and Ji Jiayi had pushed aside all other work and were already in B City, waiting for final battle night.
Therefore, there was no need to take their schedules into account.
After confirming a separate time with them, Tan Jinsheng and his three seniors would come for a rehearsal just for their group.
As for the kind of performance, the four of them would discuss it themselves. They just had to inform the program team later, so that the program team could prepare the stage in synchronization with their performance.
It was not just Tan Jinsheng. The other three were also musical experts. They even had a teacher like Liu Shengtai. The program team really did not have to worry about what song to choose, how to arrange it or how to present it.
And so, during the period of time before the official rehearsal, Tan Jinsheng and Liu Jingshen went to Ji Jiayi’s studio to practice.
Ji Jiayi was in the rock music industry. His studio had a very spacious practice room, and the soundproofing was especially good. Thus, it was convenient for their band to have regular practices there.
They had decided on the kind of performance with Lu Xiangchen remotely. They would be using Tan Jinsheng’s song.
The three seniors did not forget that they were going on the show to help Tan Jinsheng.
Naturally, the focus had to be on Tan Jinsheng, They should not steal the limelight. Tan Jinsheng’s song had to be promoted as well.
So, the three of them arranged for Tan Jinsheng to be in the center, and let him sing the most outstanding parts of the song.
They only focused on being in the background.
Although Lu Xiangchen could not rush back in time to rehearse with them, he was constantly practicing by himself, and paying attention to his positioning.
The night before the official rehearsal, Lu Xiangchen rushed back to B City, exhausted.
He had slept for not more than four hours, before rushing to the recording studio to rehearse with Tan Jinsheng and the rest.
Shi Shulei, Zhang Zhisheng and the rest felt like everything was unreal, as if they were dreaming, until the moment they saw with their own eyes all four of them standing together on stage.
Shi Shulei even told Zhang Zhisheng, “Pinch me. This stage is real, isn’t it?”
the corner of Zhang Zhisheng’s mouth twitched, before he said, “Director, you supervised the setting up of this stage everyday. You watched closely as your colleagues adjusted the sound effects, stage lighting and special effects daily, before finally giving your approval.”
“Tm not talking about the stage, I’m talking about the people on the stage,” Shi Shulei stared at the stage, refusing to shift his gaze by even an inch, “Guess what I’m looking at? I’m looking at Liu Jingshen, Ji Jiayi, Lu Xiangchen and Tan Jinsheng standing on stage together.”
Zhang Zhisheng,
Shi Shulei was probably exhausted. Why else would he ask such a silly question?
“Ji Jiayi playing the guitar, Lu Xiangchen playing the piano. When put together, these two instruments become exceptionally harmonious,” Shi Shulei had a look of infatuation on his face.
Lu Xiangchen was in charge of playing the prelude and interlude.
For the rest of the time, he stood in a row with the other three on stage.
JiJiayi was also only playing the climax.
Liu Jingshen had modified the tune slightly, to make it more suitable for the four of them to perform together.
“It’s settled, it’s settled,” Shi Shulei looked at the stage and muttered to himself, “Our final battle night is settled!”
“Cough!” Zhang Zhisheng reminded him, “Director, you told me to remind you whenever you get arrogant. Final battle night hasn’t been broadcast and the final results are not out yet. We should not speak with such certainty. What if Singing Voice has a surprise performance that we don’t know about?”
“Just like us. Aren’t we also hiding the fact that these three are here?” Zhang Zhisheng said.
“Right, right,” Shi Shulei praised Zhang Zhisheng, “You’ve done well.”
“If only we could find out the performance repertoire of Singing Voice. That would be best,” Shi Shulei told Zhang Zhisheng.
The edges of Zhang Zhisheng’s mouth twitched again, and he said, “T’l try.”

Because it was the finals of a competition that Tan Jinsheng was in, the Tan family wanted to watch it live no matter what.
Not just the Tan family, even the two elders of the Wei family, Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan wanted to watch too.
Old Mister had even called Kefeng Films directly to ask Xu Dashi for tickets.
When Xu Dashi received Old Mister’s call, he was so shocked that his face froze.
“Old Mister!” Xu Dashi stood up in a panic. His chair hit the wall behind him and caused a series of loud noises.
“Give me some tickets for I Sing’s final battle night,” Old Mister said.
“You want to watch it?” Xu Dashi was surprised.
“It’s the finals of the son of my in-laws. Of course I want to watch it,” Old Mister replied, as if Xu Dashi had asked a silly question, “Not only me. My wife, son and daughter-in-law also want to go. Give me four tickets in total.”
“[heard that the program team’s Executive Director had already sent tickets over to the Tan Family,” Old Mister said.
Xu Dashi immediately replied, “I’ll reprimand him later. He didn’t handle this meticulously. How could he send the Tan Family tickets, but not yours?”
Despite what he said, Xu Dashi perfectly understood Shi Shulei’s actions.
Who would have thought that the two elders would want to watch too!
And Wei Zhigian’s parents, in other words the family’s patriarch and his wife.
If Tan Mo had an important competition or something, one might expect them to attend.
But for them to take an interest even in Tan Mo’s brother, that was really thoughtful and considerate!
It was clear that the elders of the Wei Family were extremely satisfied with the marriage between Wei Zhigian and Tan Mo.
It was enough if just the two elders of the Wei Family, as well as Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan, were satisfied. The rest did not matter.
These four had the most say in the Wei Family. The last remaining person was Wei Zhiqian.
‘With the support of these five, no one cared about the other Wei Family members.
“ll go get the tickets now and arrange for you to sit with the Tan Family,” Xu Dashi said.
“Not bad,” Old Mister said, satisfied, “Young man, you have a bright future.”
His mind worked quickly.
‘Without Old Mister having to say it, Xu Dashi took the initiative to seat them together.
Xu Dashi felt a fluttering in his legs after being praised by Old Mister.
“are four tickets enough? Do you want more to give away to other people?” Xu Dashi asked again.
“No need, four tickets are enough. We don’t like to chat with people,” Old Mister said..
