"How does it feel?"

Luo Chen sat back in the hall. Just as he sat down, Guan Fei came over and asked curiously.

"It's okay." Luo Chen touched his nose. After he said this, he felt that his words did not sound convincing.

So he scratched his head and said truthfully, "It's much better than in rehearsal. Honestly, I didn't expect that I would perform so well."

"That's not surprising." Zhou Yiyang walked up behind Luo Chen, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You've prepared so thoroughly and practiced for so long. Your exceptional performance is due to the foundation you've laid."

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes full of gratitude as he looked at Zhou Yiyang.

If Zhou Yiyang hadn't given him this song and suggested his performance stage, Luo Chen wouldn't have had such a good performance today.

Several guests in the hall walked towards Luo Chen.

Everyone has witnessed Luo Chen’s wonderful performance just now, and they have reason to believe that Luo Chen’s new song will be a big hit.

In this case, establishing a good relationship with Luo Chen in advance can be considered as building up one's network in advance.

Faced with these people's words of praise, encouragement, or even flattery, he always kept a cool head.

Zhou Yiyang, who originally wanted to give Luo Chen some advice, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his performance - it seems that Luo Chen is still a very rational person.

So Zhou Yiyang focused his attention on the upcoming performance of Moonlight Girl.

The drawing of lots decided that Moonlight Girl would appear first and Dormitory Boy would appear later.

This order is not good news for Yue Shao.

Anyone who regularly watches talent shows like this knows that the earlier you appear, the lower your score will be.

The audience always likes new things and dislikes old things, and they will subconsciously favor the singer who voted closest to them.

However, if China Satellite TV, like many other local satellite TV stations, specially arranged a camera to focus on the expressions of both parties backstage and compare them, it would find a completely different result.

Tang Yue was sitting next to Lin Xuan'er at the moment, chatting and laughing with her, and there was no sign of her worry about the competition.

Su Yin and Wang Xingrui were even more casual. They leaned their heads against each other and actually fell asleep backstage while waiting to go on stage.

As for the boys in the dormitory, it was a completely different story.

Anxiety and uneasiness were written on each of their faces.

Before the competition, they would comfort themselves that Moonlight Girl was not as great as the marketing accounts said.

But after seeing Luo Chen's jaw-dropping performance, they suddenly didn't dare to underestimate Moonlight Girl anymore.

Although Luo Chen is strong, he has lost to Yue Shao in several competitions.

Moreover, the song that Yue Shao performed this time was a new song, which was written by Zhou Yi Yang.

This operation alone has laid the basic level for this song.

"Don't overthink it," the captain said, looking at the gloomy faces of the team members. He couldn't bear it any longer and criticized them harshly. "Whether their performance was good or bad, it won't affect us. If we want the audience to get to know us, or even become our fans, the only way is to perform well on our stage!"

After he said this, several teammates who had gradually lost their minds came to their senses and suppressed their gradually unbalanced hearts.

"Next up," the host said, putting down his script and glancing at the already excited and cheering audience. He couldn't help but sigh once again at the popularity of Moonlight Girls. Even his grandmother, who lives in the countryside, knew these four girls. "They're the phenomenal girl group that exploded onto the scene last year—Moonlight Girls! Every song they release is a hit, and they're known as a hit-making machine. But I think their live performances are even more amazing. Let's see what kind of amazing performance they'll bring this time!"

Lin Xuaner immediately stood up and woke up her three good sisters.

"Let's go, it's our turn to go on stage!"

Su Yin and Wang Xingrui opened their eyes at the same time, and one of them rubbed his eyes, like a little bear who couldn't sleep.

"Wait!" Tang Yue suddenly called everyone.

She seemed less relaxed on the inside than on the outside.

"Remember how we cheered each other on during the game? Come on, let's high-five!"

Su Yin understood and nodded towards Tang Yue: "Come on, we are the best!"

"come on!"

The four of them put their hands together, held each other tightly, raised them above their heads, then quickly lowered them and dispersed.

This is their cheering action, full of ritual sense.

This ritualistic action indeed gave them strength, and the four of them walked with much more confidence.

"However," the host glanced at the stage still being set up behind him and said with a smile, "The next five minutes are commercials. I hope everyone in front of the TV won't change the channel, the excitement is about to begin!"

"It's actually on commercials!" Guan Fei pouted. "Brother Yang, do you want me to check the real-time ratings?"

"It doesn't mean much." Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "Just based on the platform and theme, the ratings won't be low. So this rating doesn't mean much as a reference."

"Okay," Guan Fei was persuaded by Zhou Yiyang, "but we can take a look at the online discussions. Yue Shao is trending again! They haven't even started singing yet. Hey, the most popular person tonight is actually Brother Chen. He's been trending for a long time."

"I took a look," Bai Yangyu said, leaning over to Guan Fei's screen. "The top 50 trending searches are almost all about the online Spring Festival Gala. In my opinion, the online popularity is even higher than yesterday's Spring Festival Gala!"

The five-minute commercial passed in a flash, but the first thing the audience watching the live broadcast noticed was the brand new stage in front of them.

This is a very strange stage.

In the center of the stage is a tree.

A towering tree that looks so real it's hard to tell.

Under the giant tree are three high platforms similar to altars.

If everyone didn't know that this was a party, they would probably think that what was about to take place was some kind of ceremony.

But the more this happened, the more the audience felt like a cat was tickling them. They were extremely curious about what kind of song would be performed after this performance.

"Luo Chen?" Ling Hu had sat down next to Zhou Yiyang at some point. He patted Luo Chen's shoulder and asked curiously, "Have you heard this song?"

"No." Luo Chen shook his head. "We kept our rehearsals secret from each other. But I heard that their song this time was difficult."

"Really?" Ling Hu raised an eyebrow. "That's probably not their best inspirational song. Honestly, after seeing this stage, I'm really looking forward to this song."

While the audience was still discussing this peculiar stage, four girls had already put on special costumes, opened the curtain, and walked onto the stage.

What rang in my ears was the screams of the audience.
