There were people coming and going in the backstage, and Zhou Yiyang was moving among them. Almost every step he took, someone would come over to say hello.

He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"Xuan'er, Ruirui, have you two studied the rules?" Su Yin ate the cake in small bites, which was not in line with her usual personality.

However, there are many seniors backstage tonight, and Su Yin still wants to be reserved in front of them.

"There's nothing much to research." Lin Xuan'er glanced at the rules and understood the entire process. "It's a very simple rule. Each of us musicians will have a 60-second a cappella segment. After the a cappella segment, the audience will vote to determine the ranking. The top two musicians will automatically become captains."

"Captain?" Su Yin was a little confused. Were they going to form two teams for a PK? However, this arrangement was very much to Zhou Yiyang's liking.

"Yes," Wang Xingrui said. "After becoming captain, you take turns selecting team members. Once a team is formed, they'll compete against each other in pairs. The team with the most wins will be the winner tonight. In addition to the competition, the audience will also vote for their favorite male and female singers and groups."

"I roughly understand." Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. Their group should have no problem winning the Most Popular Group Award. "Brother Yang has combined the competition with the award ceremony. The audience is in for a treat; they can listen to so many songs."

"No wonder tonight's live broadcast lasted four hours. With so many people singing, it must have taken time." Su Yin took another piece of red velvet cake from the waiter: "To maintain our physical strength, we need to replenish more energy."

"If we're going to sing a cappella, is there anything you all would like to sing?" Lin Xuan'er asked everyone for their opinions.

"Whatever," Wang Xingrui shrugged nonchalantly. "I think the first round of voting is mainly based on popularity. With 10,000 people in the audience, everyone should have their favorite singer."

"Then why not pick a simple song?" Su Yin suggested, "For the first round, it's better to play it safe. Besides, it doesn't really matter whether you're the captain or not."

"It's best not to be the captain," Tang Yue said cautiously. "No matter who is chosen first or not, there will always be people who will think differently and say who we are close to and who we don't like."

"It seems so." Lin Xuan'er nodded in agreement: "But it's not good to mess it up on purpose, so let's just leave it to fate!"

Gradually, all musicians have understood the rules of the game.

Not to mention the award ceremony, the most important part is the competition.

Even though it’s a carnival, most musicians still want to win.

"According to the captain," several new generation singers gathered together and discussed, "Yue Shao, Luo Chen, Helian Bei, and Wen Yuan are the most likely candidates. Yue Shao and Luo Chen are very popular, so it's possible that most of the audience will be their fans. The latter is well-known and talented, so he will definitely get a lot of votes."

"I think Yue Shao is definitely the captain. Playing at home and winning two seasons, he's 100% the captain. Let's go say hello and leave a good impression on them."

"That's right, otherwise it would be awkward if no one chooses me."

Wen Yuan and Helian Bei didn't care much about it. They gathered together to chat with Huang Xin and other veteran singers.

"The last time we were on the same stage was ten years ago, right?" Huang Xin said with emotion.

"It should have been the Spring Festival Gala ten years ago," Wen Yuan smiled. "Time flies by so fast. Look over there, they're all young people with bright futures."

"It's a good world for young people." Helian Bei shook his glass. He didn't expect that he didn't feel uncomfortable in such a large crowd. As expected, his illness healed much faster after changing companies. "I really want to see a young man beat me tonight."

Zhou Yiyang finally broke away from the crowd and walked into the director's room.

"I shouldn't have gone there." Zhou Yiyang sat down on the sofa and could see what was happening outside through the computer in the room.

The musicians backstage also know that their every move is being broadcast to all the audience inside and outside the venue through the big screen on the stage and live broadcast on the Internet.

It’s a pity that the onlookers can’t hear the sound.

[It seems like these singers are grouped together by age, with the young people hanging out with the young people and the older singers chatting together.]

[Of course, there's a generation gap. Look at Wen Yuan and Huang Xin chatting happily. I really want to know what they're talking about.]

[Maybe they were discussing gossip in the industry! Yue Shao and the other three were feeling pretty miserable. Just like Boss Zhou just now, people kept coming to greet them.]

[The sisters were so tired from laughing, and Xiao Xiao Su was the most tired. She didn't even have time to eat.]

[Brother Chen is a bit quiet tonight, is it because he's depressed about that look?]

[That look is really nice. I hope Brother Chen can chat with Yue Shao's four sisters.]

Luo Chen was not depressed, he was just a little shy.

He is the most popular person in the promotional video. Fans even took screenshots of the video and posted it on Japan Road. As of now, it has received millions of likes.

He had no doubt that everyone present had seen the picture. So when everyone smiled at him, Luo Chen felt that it was because of the picture.

"Brother Chen!"

Someone patted his shoulder. Luo Chen looked up and found it was Su Yin.

"Why are you here?" Luo Chen glanced at the table beside him, which was piled with snacks. He thought he had found the reason.

"I just talked myself dry there, so just leave this kind of socializing to Tangtang."

After Su Yin finished speaking, she reached out and picked up a piece of jelly she had never seen before and placed it on the plate. "It tastes good, you should try it too."
