About the episode: Zhang Ziyi was so upset with Lo Ta-yu’s criticisms of contestant Zeng Yiming that she walked out of the studio in tears. Ta-yu meted out harsh comments on Yiming for nearly 20 minutes, reprimanding him for his ‘lack of respect’ for the harmonising band and mentors, and for his ‘superficial’ performance. Ziyi interrupted Ta-yu’s speech by pounding the table, yelling, ‘I really can’t listen to this anymore!’ What followed was an argument on stage between the two mentors. The actress burst out in tears after her advice to not deflate the contestants’ confidence, which was directed at Da-yu, fell on deaf ears.
