These eight lucky individuals, who had gone through numerous selection processes, underwent a complete transformation in their mental outlook thanks to Luo Xiang's heartfelt words.

Tan Xu, as a more representative character among the eight, has a pair of eyes that the national treasures regard as relatives. From the moment the car started, he was huddled in the back seat. Apart from occasionally drooping his head to prove that he was still alive, his behavior was no different from that of a corpse.

As for the energetic Xue Mingyu, he was equally listless. After a night of intense study, what he missed most now was not the dazzling female students, but the soft-cushioned bed.

"Get off the bus."

Luo Xiang cleared his throat.

The recording studio in front of us is quite large, with seven or eight separate recording rooms of various sizes.

The person in charge of receiving them was Chen Jiaxuan's assistant. Seeing how energetic the group looked as they got out of the car, the assistant thoughtfully had coffee bought for them.

Chen Jiaxuan had a business friend who had some financial problems and borrowed money from Chen Jiaxuan, using this recording studio as collateral.

Later, due to insufficient income, the company declared bankruptcy, and the recording studio became Chen Jiaxuan's private property.

Normally, it wasn't well maintained, but when Lin Rui called to ask for help finding a recording studio, it reminded me of this business, and I sent people over that day to clean and repair it.

Compared to yesterday, Qi An, Yao Man, and others have shown significant improvement.

This improvement has nothing to do with ability, but rather with attitude.

The restlessness lessened considerably. Ever since entering the recording studio, even Xue Mingyu, who was usually the most energetic, calmed down. This change immediately reminded Lin Rui of Luo Xiang.

Luo Xiang must have said something to them.

Of course, Lin Rui didn't care about the process; he only cared about the result.

The company had already sent the backing track audio, and with the melody as their guide, the group quickly got into the zone and all demonstrated impressive singing skills.

Although this level of skill is still quite different from that of second-tier artists, it is more than enough to handle an amateur competition.

During this time, Lin Rui also took the initiative to correct the mistakes of Yan Junchu, Gu Yingying and Jiang Qiuyu.

Fortunately, the three of them listened to the advice and were immediately amazed after trying Lin Rui's solution.

Even Qi An, Yao Man, and others, who sang almost flawlessly, humbly sought advice. This scene made Luo Xiang, who was in charge of supervision, think to himself that these young people were teachable.

Students, cherish this hard-won opportunity.

It's not too late to realize this now.

"Okay, pack up and let's go back."

It was already dark by now.

The group returned to the minibus, all looking exhausted.

Halfway through the journey, many people started to feel sleepy, but the singing that suddenly started inside the bus woke them up.

Gently awaken the sleeping soul.

Slowly open your eyes.

…”

Yao Man, who was originally extremely sleepy, suddenly perked up.

She recognized the voice; it was her singing.

Zhong Sixin and the others sitting to the side also sat up straight.

Even Tan Xu and Xue Mingyu, who were fast asleep, were woken up by Qi An and Yan Junchu.

Everyone in the car, including the driver, listened quietly.

As the singing gradually subsided, the crowd came to their senses.

"We sang it?"

When was it recorded?

"That's amazing! I never thought I could sing so well."

"The teamwork this time was fantastic."

Everyone started talking at once.

Despite the dim lighting inside the car, the excitement on each other's faces could still be seen.

Luo Xiang glanced at Lin Rui in the front row, then looked at the crowd.

"I will send you the audio once we get to the hotel."

"After you take a shower, listen to it a few more times, then get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's semi-final."

"Also, no one is allowed to transmit the audio."

Luo Xiang gave a few serious instructions and then had the driver play them again.

…

The venue is still the same, but the popularity is even more exaggerated than before.

The reason is simple.

Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui appeared at the press conference for the Eight Schools Tournament and then watched the quarterfinals.

Major investment firms have dispatched top teams, seemingly to scout for promising talents.

Even first- and second-tier celebrities have been making frequent appearances.

This series of bizarre moves makes it clear to anyone with a brain that this amateur tournament is hiding a hidden talent.

However, the response from small and medium-sized companies was lukewarm, and they didn't want to get involved.

Not only is it a waste of manpower and money, but it also doesn't please anyone.

Even if there were truly good prospects, they wouldn't get a chance.

It's terrible, even a dog wouldn't watch it.

But celebrities are different.

Rumors about various states unlocking their cultural walls are rampant online these days.

Everyone believes that information about second- and third-tier celebrities will be released later this month.

Why not travel to different states to get acquainted with celebrities and gain popularity, while also making connections with artists from various states and expanding one's network?

This has led to a star-studded event today, with not only local Yuezhou residents but also many second- and third-tier celebrities from Xiazhou and Wanzhou.

The off-field scene was a constellation of stars, a spectacle of extraordinary beauty.

The atmosphere inside the venue was also unsettled.

The Xiazhou Art Academy used a new song, which was created in collaboration with the principal and four top producers.

Representatives from the two art schools in Yuezhou looked at Qi An, Yao Man, and others with sympathy.

In their view, the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music was doomed to be eliminated.

As for the students at Xiazhou Art Academy, they all held their heads high, like a flock of peacocks displaying their plumage incessantly.

"What the hell!"

Tan Xu pursed his lips.

He was somewhat indignant at the provocation from Xiazhou Art Academy.

Although the others didn't say it aloud, their dissatisfaction was equally evident in their expressions.

"Don't worry about what they think."

"You only have one enemy, and that is yourself."

Since counselor Luo Xiang had said so, Tan Xu and the others stopped paying attention to the provocations from Xiazhou Art College.

Did you really think it was a sure thing?

young!

Qi An and Xue Mingyu whispered a few words to each other, and the exact content was unclear, but everyone who was originally in a bad mood suddenly looked happy.

This scene left the eight contestants from Xiazhou Art Academy somewhat puzzled.

They intended to manipulate people's mentality, but it seems to have had little effect.

But it doesn't matter.

With their trump card in hand, they're absolutely certain of victory!

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the first match began.

It was a civil war originating from Yuezhou.

Both sides chose songs that are well-known choral pieces in Yuezhou.

Of course, both sides chose to turn their backs to the stage. Although this meant losing some points in terms of impression, it at least ensured the integrity and smoothness of the song.

In the end, Yuezhou Royal Conservatory of Music advanced to the finals by a narrow margin of 0.1 points.

What followed was the civil war in Xia Prefecture.

There are two key points to consider in this civil war.

The first one is a new piece from Xiazhou Art Academy.

The other is a hidden superstar prospect.

Because Zheng Jing and Luo Qi were also present today.

This means that Tianrui Entertainment's target has not been eliminated. They investigated the contestants from the two art schools in Yuezhou from beginning to end, and could only say that they were completely unattractive.

The only possibility is that potential superstars are hidden in two arts schools in Xiazhou.

Which one could it be?

The answer will likely be available soon.

As the soaring song resounded throughout the venue, it gradually subsided. The chorus of eight contestants from Xiazhou Art Academy came to a close amidst enthusiastic applause.

The song is of excellent quality!

However, most people present could tell that the folk song was praising the greatness of the arts school.

As a result, many people realized that this song was not, as the outside world claimed, specifically written for students to advance to the next level.

However, the fact that it can be used in such an amateur competition is enough to demonstrate the ambition of Xiazhou Art Academy.

Many people feel that there is no need to continue the competition.

Because the outcome was almost a foregone conclusion.

As the eight contestants from Xiazhou Conservatory of Music took the stage, the crowd's attention waned considerably.

After all, the outcome was already predetermined.

"Because the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music has changed the song at the last minute, the backstage is preparing. Please be patient."

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was indeed a brief uproar in the audience.

Change the song?

Is this considered last-minute cramming?

A small group of people who initially felt sorry for the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music have now lost interest.

In their view, the actions of the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music were completely unnecessary.

Trying to mend the fence after the sheep are lost is a futile effort, because the outcome was already predetermined and there was no suspense!
