By the time they finished watching all five movies, it was already late at night.

Zhou Yiyang glanced at the people who had narrowed their eyes and shook his head helplessly: "You two, are you planning to sleep on the sofa?"

When Luo Chen heard Zhou Yiyang's voice, he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He didn't dare to say that he had just had a dream in which he returned to his student days and was discovered by his homeroom teacher to have fallen asleep during class.

"I." Luo Chen immediately clarified for himself: "I'm just a little tired. Brother Yang, let's go back!"

He patted Ling Hu's face, woke up his friend, and quickly left.

Zhou Yiyang naturally couldn't stay here, so he told them that they didn't have to go to the crew during the day before leaving.

The four girls were free from the worries of work and slept until noon the next day.

When Tang Yue opened her eyes, she found that her neck was very painful. She suspected that it was caused by not sleeping well while watching the movie.

"Big news!"

Tang Yue, who was in a daze, suddenly heard Wang Xingrui howling and woke up instantly.

She put on her clothes as quickly as possible and walked out of the room.

"Ruirui, what did you just say? Is there any big news? Does it have anything to do with us?"

"It's somewhat related, I guess!" Wang Xingrui explained directly to Tang Yue without further ado, "Look, today our company officially announced the rules for the World Singer Contest, and that caused quite a stir."

"Huh?" Tang Yue patted her face to make sure she wasn't dreaming before asking, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Aren't we definitely going to participate in the World Singer Contest? But after the rules came out, I saw a lot of people trying to stir up trouble, saying that many singers would definitely refuse to participate."

At this time, Lin Xuaner also walked out of the bathroom. She sprayed some water on her face and immediately felt much more awake.

"What kind of rules are these? Are they so outrageous?"

"I think the rules are fine," Wang Xingrui shrugged. "But in the eyes of many fans, the rules seem horrible and not at all humane."

"Really?" Su Yin woke up. Perhaps she'd been thinking too much while watching the movie yesterday, so after falling asleep, her dreams were all about her transforming into those actresses and acting in their movies. As a result, she was now very tired. "Why don't you tell me about it?"

Wang Xingrui cleared her throat, sat down on the sofa, and then told them:

"First, auditions will be held in ten countries and regions. These twelve countries and regions are China, Japan, Korea, America, Canada, England, Russia, Western Europe, Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Latin America."

"So many!" Tang Yue was stunned. She had initially thought this world was just a random description, but now it seemed Zhou Yiyang actually wanted the entire world to participate. "But the strength of these countries and regions isn't equal, right? In my opinion, the strongest are definitely China and America, followed by Northern Europe, Western Europe, and then Japan and the others."

"I'm not sure about that," Wang Xingrui said, simply repeating the rules. "I only know that after each regional audition, 25 contestants will advance to the final competition. The audition process won't be broadcast live, but the production team also said that Moonlight will air clips of each contestant's audition."

"Then do we still have to go to the auditions?" Su Yin asked immediately. She was worried that this would overlap with the Cannes Film Festival.

"No need. The program team also said that among these 25 people, there will be invited contestants, so there is no need for auditions. At present, our country's invitation list has not been announced, and we should be on it." Wang Xingrui continued.

"Actually, up to this point, the reaction from netizens has been pretty positive. Everyone is looking forward to this big fight. But the following rules have caused a lot of opposition."

"As the most successful variety show this year, 'Zhan Jie' is deeply loved by artists because the elimination process is relatively mild and there are opportunities for resurrection."

"However, this year's World Singer Contest will be broadcast live from the top 25 onwards. It won't be a reality show recording. And there will be eliminations in every live broadcast."

Lin Xuan'er became excited when she heard this. Isn't this the same competition format as in the regular talent shows? It's cruel but can actively arouse the audience's interest and loyalty.

"Especially in the first live broadcast, 12 people will be eliminated directly, leaving only 13 artists. This is also what netizens, no, fans are most opposed to."

"I understand why they're opposed," Lin Xuan'er chuckled and pointedly said, "On the one hand, they hope their idols can participate. After all, the competition is bound to be very popular. But on the other hand, they don't have confidence in their idols and are afraid they'll be eliminated in the first round."

"That's right," Wang Xingrui also smiled, confident in herself. "So these fans are very proactive in putting themselves in the artists' shoes, saying that if the competition system isn't changed, there won't be many artists participating. After all, for an artist, if they're eliminated in the first round, it would be a huge blow to their career."

"It's certainly possible," Su Yin said objectively, "but those who are willing to come must have thought it through carefully. Although being eliminated in the first round is cruel, as long as you can make it through, the rewards are huge. Live broadcast, how long has it been since we had a live elimination show?"

"And they're going to eliminate a bunch of famous artists," Tang Yue also found it very exciting. "I can imagine how much intrigue there will be!"

Su Yin coughed and reminded her: "Don't forget, we are also contestants."

"I know," Tang Yue was very confident. "With Ruirui, Xuan'er, and our popularity, we won't be eliminated that easily. Even if things don't work out, we still have Brother Yang as our shield!"

"No, no, no," Lin Xuan'er shook her head. "To avoid suspicion, Brother Yang will definitely not treat us differently. By the way, Ruirui, does the rule specify how many people from each country and region can participate?"

"That hasn't been announced yet, but Weibo hinted that the number of spots in each region will change dynamically, and may be related to ratings, playback volume, and votes."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Tang Yue heard the sound of money rushing into the account as soon as she heard the voting: "Brother Yang is so ruthless. This time the voting is global. I wonder how much money he will make!"

"Alright," Lin Xuan'er patted Tang Yue's shoulder. "Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about how to improve your on-set stability. This competition should start as soon as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is finished filming."
