Luo Qi and Zheng Jing were somewhat bewildered.

Just now, Zhou Rongze called and said that he and his team have chartered a private plane and are on their way to Yuezhou.

Of course, that's not the point.

The key point is that pop diva Hsu Hui-ching and pop king Yip Yin-fai are going to sign with Tianrui Entertainment!

I've heard of people terminating their contracts with entertainment companies, falling out with them, and even going to court.

This is the first time I've ever heard of established superstars signing with an entertainment company on their own initiative!

Is this a regression of the times, or a decline in morality?

This is outrageous!

After further inquiry, it was discovered that Lin Rui had actually negotiated the deal.

Luo Qi and Zheng Jing were instantly terrified.

no.

Isn't this kid leading a team to participate in the Eight Schools Championship?

How could Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui have been taken down overnight?

Personal charm?

Nonsense!

Talent?

That's somewhat possible.

The problem is that these two don't really have much to do with music.

They wouldn't risk their own safety just to get a song commission, would they?

Luo Qi and Zheng Jing couldn't understand it.

In fact, Zhou Rongze was also puzzled.

But that doesn't mean Zhou Rongze has to get stuck on a single point!

These are genuine superstars! No matter what conditions Lin Rui offered, we'll sign them first!

Even if the contract terms are too harsh, that's fine too.

The contract hasn't been signed yet, has it?

You can bargain!

This is my specialty, Lao Zhou's specialty!

besides!

If anyone dares to say that silly boy isn't smart enough again, I, Old Zhou, will be the first to object!

Look, he's only just arrived in Yuezhou and he's already landed a huge deal!

As soon as Zhou Rongze left, the leading capital firms in Vietnam and Taiwan, who had been closely monitoring Tianrui's activities, immediately sent people to inquire.

When they learned that Zhou Rongze had hurriedly chartered a plane to Yuezhou with his team, they were all dumbfounded.

no.

We traveled all the way to Xiazhou to seek cooperation, and you, on the contrary, put the business aside, took everyone away, and chartered a private plane to Yuezhou for tourism?

Absolutely not!

Judging from the commotion at last night's Eight Schools Competition press conference, these top investors were all horribly green with envy.

There's definitely something fishy going on!

Hijack!

We must intercept it!

The mere presence of Zheng Jing, Luo Qi, and Chen Tianye has already sparked much speculation.

Now it's even worse!

Even the CEO of Tianrui Entertainment, a prestigious company, rushed to take charge personally.

This is outrageous!

Something's definitely going to happen at the Eight Schools Tournament!

The top executives of various leading capital firms practically roared as they issued instructions to their subordinates.

Basically, they are determined to find a genius among the eighty-four contestants at all costs!

Because of this, the stadium was packed with people in the afternoon, almost to the point of being completely full.

Moreover, there are very few spectators here.

Those present were all top agents and talent scouts from Yuezhou, as well as renowned reporters from leading media outlets!

As for celebrities and artists, they are countless!

At first glance, this doesn't look like an amateur competition at all.

If you call it an awards ceremony, I doubt anyone would disagree!

But you think that's all?

In Wanzhou and Xiazhou, similar chartered planes are on their way.

"Teacher Luo, isn't the noise from the competition a bit too much?"

Looking at the bustling audience, Xue Mingyu, who peeked out from backstage, swallowed hard.

Yan Junchu, Tan Xu, Jiang Qiuyu, and others were also extremely nervous at this moment.

Half an hour later, it will be their turn to go on stage.

Compared to this morning, the current level of attention is like night and day!

"Everyone, please restrain yourselves and don't let your surroundings influence you."

“I know you are under pressure, but pressure can also be turned into motivation.”

"Look at it from another angle, as long as you achieve results on stage, you will have the opportunity to be noticed by top agents."

"Besides, aren't your opponents nervous?"

Luo Xiang tried to comfort the students, but it was clearly not very effective.

He was a little troubled. He secretly glanced at Lin Rui, who was sitting in a chair playing on his phone, and a thought suddenly struck him.

"Lin Rui, why don't you say a few words to them?"

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Luo Xiang had no choice but to seek advice from Lin Rui.

As soon as Luo Xiang spoke, Qi An and the others also looked at Lin Rui.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Lin Rui.

After taking a shower last night, everyone gradually calmed down. After a moment of reflection, they were surprised by Lin Rui's performance.

The ease with which they strolled on stage, the composure in the spotlight, and the top-tier singing skills all made them feel defeated.

Lin Rui thought this was his limit.

But who could have predicted that this morning at the restaurant, they would witness Lin Rui chatting and laughing with superstars?

This completely overturned their understanding of the entertainment industry!

Although afterwards, Lin Rui simply said that it was a superstar who wanted to sign him.

Although no one said it, they didn't really believe it.

I have a feeling that things aren't that simple.

Although they are inexperienced, it doesn't mean they are blind.

In that situation, they felt that Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui's gazes toward Lin Rui were not out of appreciation for the younger generation.

Instead, they should be punished for their absurd peer-to-peer arguments!

But this is, after all, Lin Rui's private matter.

If he didn't say, they didn't feel comfortable asking him.

In short, Lin Rui is now seen by them as being on par with Xu Zhe.

Lin Rui stood up, walked to the front of the group, glanced at them briefly, and smiled, "Nervous?"

"nervous."

"I'm very nervous."

"Don't laugh at me, senior, but my legs are a little weak right now."

…

At first, they all blushed and seemed embarrassed to speak.

But as Zhong Sixin broke the silence, Qi An, Yao Man, and others started talking all at once.

"Being nervous is a normal reaction."

Lin Rui's gentle smile made them feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

The tension and depression in my heart also subsided a little.

"Senior, how did you overcome your nervousness?"

Zhong Sixin looked like she was humbly seeking advice.

This question also piqued their curiosity.

Clearly, everyone had the same question.

A past life?

this life?

Lin Rui thought for a moment and realized that using his past life's experience was clearly not appropriate.

Using "this life" is even more inappropriate.

He couldn't help but recall his first appearance on stage in this life at the Golden Hall.

At that time, his mental fortitude alone was far inferior to that of these people.

"This requires an adjustment period."

"It can also be understood as a process of accumulation, so it is destined that it cannot be accomplished overnight."

"I have a suggestion for you: try turning to your side and closing your eyes at the same time."

"Let your world consist only of music."

Based on his own situation, Lin Rui offered a suggestion that wasn't really a suggestion.

"Won't the judging panel deduct points for their impression of the judges?"

Gu Yingying couldn't help but ask.

"That's inevitable."

“Not only the judges, but others will also think that this shows your lack of confidence.”

Lin Rui smiled slightly.

"Don't forget, this is a student competition between art schools; strictly speaking, it's an amateur competition."

"Since it's an amateur competition, it will be more inclusive."

"In the eyes of those people, your nervousness and anxiety on stage are the most accurate reflection of this stage."

"Therefore, they will focus on your potential."

"As for potential, it's your understanding of the song and your emotional investment."

"And I also believe that the agents and talent scouts present have absolutely no interest in whether you will embarrass yourselves on stage."

"They came here just to see if you can sing a song completely, or even sing it well."

At that moment, even counselor Luo Xiang's eyes lit up.

yes!

He and others were all stuck in a dead end.

I'm always thinking about both making a good impression and performing well.

But you can't have your cake and eat it too.

At least for now, looking back and forth will only lead to certain death.

Given the atmosphere, even second-tier celebrities would probably drink a few cups of wine if they were to appear.

Not to mention these children who haven't even left school yet!

"With about ten minutes left, everyone try Lin Rui's method: turn to the side, close your eyes, and get into the right mindset."

"Remember, forget about impression points; they're worthless."

"What you need to do is sing your competition songs well!"
