Tang Yue fell silent. She pursed her lips and said after a while:

"I get it! Xuan'er, stop bossing me around now! After 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' airs, I'll be someone you can't even dream of!"

Lin Xuan'er on the side chuckled. She had long been accustomed to Tang Yue's nonsense, so naturally she would not blame her.

Lin Xuan'er nodded in agreement and then said to Tang Yue:

"You're right. I will definitely reflect on this later!"

After they have had enough of the fuss, they will still take "Empresses in the Palace" seriously. After all, the drama has already earned back all the investment costs just by attracting investment.

The four of them are also very clear that after the show is broadcast, it will be a good thing for them and will definitely help them further consolidate their popularity and fame.

On the other hand, netizens' focus also shifted to another variety show following the hot searches.

With the announcement of the competition system of the World Singer Contest, this variety show that has been preheated for almost a year has finally unveiled its mysterious veil.

Almost everyone has a lot of imagination about this variety show.

After all, this is the first variety show that brings together artists from all over the world to compete.

Just by thinking about it, you can guess how popular this variety show will be after it is broadcast.

However, after the competition was announced, the official Weibo account of the World Singer Contest seemed to be dead, and not a single piece of information was released.

After all, what netizens are most concerned about is definitely the list of contestants for this variety show.

But no one expected that Yi Yang Entertainment would keep this list so secret. No matter how powerful the gossip magazines and paparazzi were, they couldn't find any relevant information.

However, the artists within Yi Yang Entertainment knew something about the situation.

For example, in the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the person in charge of filming is now the deputy director, and Zhou Yiyang has not appeared for several days.

"Why is Brother Yang gone?" Wang Xingrui has been recording songs recently and is not very familiar with the recent changes in the online world.

"Don't you know?" Tang Yue cleared her throat. She had already changed into a phoenix robe, which meant that the character she played, Zhen Huan, had reached the pinnacle of power. "Brother Yang is currently holding auditions!"

"Ah, the auditions have already started?" Wang Xingrui immediately became curious. Looking at her expression, she seemed to wish she could fly to the scene right away and audition with Zhou Yiyang.

"Yes, but I asked Brother Bai, and he refused to tell me where the auditions were held. He was even more reluctant to tell us the list of artists." Lin Xuan'er shrugged and said helplessly.

Even Lin Xuan'er didn't know, and they all felt that the confidentiality measures this time were really strict.

At this moment, Zhou Yiyang was sitting with Helian Bei and another professor from the Conservatory of Music.

Helian Bei did not participate in the competition this time. After much thought, he felt that it was not appropriate for him to fight with a group of people at his age.

Zhou Yiyang definitely respected Helian Bei's opinion. When the competition system was announced, he guessed that Helian Bei would withdraw.

However, in order to maintain the popularity of the show, Zhou Yiyang directly pulled Helian Bei over to serve as a guest. So far, this move seems to be quite successful.

Among the artists who came to the auditions, there were many who were once famous but still had a high opinion of themselves.

When they saw Helian Bei sitting in the mentor's seat, they immediately became much more respectful.

"How is it?" Zhou Yiyang turned around and asked, "What does it feel like to be a mentor?"

"That's great." Helian Bei laughed. "It's better than I thought. I thought being a mentor would be difficult, but it turns out all I have to do is give good comments."

"However, if you make some controversial comments, it will also cause a lot of discussion." Zhou Yiyang reminded softly from the side.

Helian Bei hummed and said nonchalantly, "I know. But my personality definitely doesn't allow me to be such a controversial and sharp-tongued judge."

The auditions lasted for ten days before Zhou Yiyang selected twenty contestants from the group who he thought had great potential.

The remaining five spots were given to the singers he invited.

After seeing the final list, Guan Fei, who had already returned to work, laughed:

"Brother Yang, if we send this list out now, it will definitely go viral. I even suspect that the top ten trending searches will all be about our show."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, but he also believed Guan Fei's words. In fact, except for Helian Bei, everyone he wanted to invite actually agreed.

Just based on this list, Zhou Yiyang couldn't guarantee that Moonlight Girl would definitely be the first among this group.

But the more this happens, the more interesting the competition will be. If the audience guesses who the final champion will be as soon as the list is announced, then the competition will definitely fail.

At the same time as the auditions ended, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was officially completed.

However, this time the crew did not hold a celebration party immediately as usual.

Because the main actors and director of the show had already boarded a plane to Cannes on the night of the filming completion.

…

Helian Bei was also on the plane. He sat next to Zhou Yiyang, opened the newspaper with great energy, and laughed:

"I didn't expect this newspaper would also predict the winners of this year's Cannes Film Festival."

Zhou Yiyang hummed. He had just read the newspaper. "After all, everyone who goes to Cannes right now, except for those who are just checking out the red carpet, is there to win an award. I've also read some film critics' predictions over the past couple of days, and your Best Actor award should be the most popular this year."

Helian Bei was naturally not as concerned or nervous about winning the award as Su Yin.

After all, he has won so many awards in the years since his debut.

But this does not mean that Helian Bei looks down on Su Yin. On the contrary, Helian Bei has a very high opinion of Su Yin.

"When I was Su Yin's age, I didn't even have the chance to be nominated for a film."

Helian Bei, now a successful and famous man, nodded confidently after hearing Zhou Yiyang's words: "I've heard that too. But the favorites will inevitably fail. Maybe there will be a dark horse this year."

Zhou Yiyang smiled and shook his head. "We all know that the so-called dark horse refers to Best Picture. And for Best Actress and Best Actor, there are actually the fewest dark horses. The winners over the years are basically the top three nominated actors in terms of support rate."

On the other side, Su Yin was flipping through a magazine, but she was turning the pages so quickly that Tang Yue could tell at a glance that she was distracted.

"Don't panic! The bookmakers have released their odds now, and your odds of winning are third. That means everyone is still quite optimistic about you!"
