Name: Foreign Singer Steals the Show, National Team Calls Me Up
Author: Bodhi Is a Dancing Tree

Synopsis

Also known as: The Fifty-Year-Old Matriarch Defends the Nation, While the Returning Singer Eats an Apple

No female lead + new work + topical + feel-good story + enjoy with confidence

Singer 2024 is a hit, but who could have guessed that two foreign singers would sweep the competition, leaving a fifty-year-old matriarch to defend the nation's honor?

Yehe Naying says, “There's no way I can hold the line. The Qing Dynasty is about to fall again. Even though I have the surname Yehenara, I can't bear the fate of the Yehenara clan!”

Even Secondhand Rose is vying to become the gravedigger of Chinese pop music.

Before anyone knew it, the race for last place had reached a fever pitch.

Netizens are seriously wondering if this show has it in for flowers.

At the crucial moment, the singers from the national team can't sit still and start volunteering one after another.

But in this live broadcast with no pitch correction, the outcome remains uncertain.

With no other choice, the team captain calls in the legendary mystery singer Lin Shen.

The national team singers all say they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Teng: “If I'd known Lin Shen was willing to come out, I wouldn't have gone to all that trouble.”

Han Di: “My imperial voice is nothing in comparison to Lin Shen's.”

When Han Hong takes the stage, many people assume she's the mystery guest brought in to save the day. But Han Hong says:

“I'm just the vanguard. I'm singing ‘Beyond the Clouds’ with him to make sure he gets through safely.”

After Lin Shen finishes singing, everyone thinks they've just heard the best he can do.

Lin Shen calmly pulls out an apple.

He sits onstage, munching away as he sings.
