Chapter 17
Su Xingyao was wearing a headgear and a doll costume.
His entire body was covered tightly, and neither his figure nor his appearance had anything to do with his original self.
Therefore, even though Fu Qingyan, who was once very familiar with him, was standing less than 20 centimeters away from him, the other party did not recognize who he was at all.
Fu Qingyan simply treated Su Xingyao as a stranger and politely apologized on behalf of his bodyguard.
Hearing Fu Qingyan's words, the bodyguard who had hurriedly pushed Su Xingyao just now also quickly stood up and apologized to Su Xingyao, saying that he didn't notice anyone just now.
The trouble was caused by the bodyguard, and it was Fu Qingyan who took the initiative to apologize.
Compared with those arrogant stars in the circle today who always think they are superior to others, Fu Qingyan, who is already a movie emperor, has done very well.
If the person wearing the doll costume was replaced by an ordinary person and saw this scene, he would definitely accept the apology and praise the actor for his character.
But Su Xingyao was thinking about something else. She must be careful not to speak easily without a voice changer in the future. Especially now.
Fu Qingyan is such a smart person, I will definitely be able to recognize him by his voice as soon as he opens his mouth.
Although Fu Qingyan was also someone Su Xingyao didn't want to see, the reason she didn't speak was not because she was afraid to face him, but because she didn't want to have her vest removed because of this accident before she even went on stage.
He just looked at the direction Fu Qingyan was walking and felt that the other party should also be going to record "The Voice of China".
Thinking of this, Su Xingyao didn't keep his eyes on Fu Qingyan for too long. He just raised his hands and waved them left and right to indicate that he was fine. Fu Qingyan saw that the other party couldn't speak, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He, who was always gentle and considerate to everyone, did not say anything else when he saw this. Instead, he smiled apologetically at the "little mute" and turned away.
Su Xingyao looked up and watched Fu Qingyan's back.
As expected, just as he guessed, the other party really went to the entrance of "The Voice of China". Next, Fu Qingyan might have to record the show with him. Realizing this situation, Su Xingyao was not too worried.
As he was in urgent need of water, he went to find a nearby vending machine.
After buying a bottle of mineral water and standing under the shade of a tree to rest for a while, he took out the access pass sent to him in advance by the program team and walked towards the building.
His attire was a bit strange, but fortunately the staff only looked at him a few more times. After verifying his identity, they let him in smoothly.
Because he brought his own costume, Su Xingyao skipped the step of putting on makeup backstage. While others were putting on makeup and changing clothes, he found Xiaoli and took the voice changer prepared for him by the program team. He randomly found a place where no one was around and put the voice changer into the doll and clamped it.
"Hello, hello."
Su Xingyao turned on the switch and tried it, and found that his voice had a kind of ethereal and cold texture after being changed by the voice changer. His original voice was warm and gentle.
This kind of voice does not sound too aloof but not too casual when speaking, it sounds just the right amount of comfortable.
But this voice changer has now changed his original voice. The mechanical sound has covered up the gentle part of his original voice, making the whole voice become that of a cold beauty.
Su Xingyao, who had originally been prepared that the program crew might give her the most common deep male voice on the market, was quite satisfied with this voice.
After getting familiar with his new voice, he went directly to the contestants' waiting area.
There were still a few hours before the show was officially recorded, and most of the contestants hadn't finished their makeup yet. Su Xingyao, who didn't have to do anything, was the first when he arrived. In the huge room, except for a few staff members walking back and forth occasionally, he was the only contestant.
Looking at the empty seats, he randomly found a seat closer to the back and then took out his cell phone and headphones, ready to listen to some music to pass the time.
However, when he turned on his mobile phone, he found that Lu Jiuxu had sent him a message half an hour ago.
Mr. Lu: Are you there yet?
Su Xingyao moved her fingers and immediately replied to the other party.
【Just arrived】
After that, he stood up his phone, took a photo of the empty scene and sent it to Lu Jiuxu. However, the signal here didn't seem to be very good. After Su Xingyao's photo was sent, it buffered very slowly. When the photo was 76% sent, Lu Jiuxu had already responded.
Mr. Lu: What time does it start?
【Two o'clock】
Mr. Lu: Have you eaten?
【have eaten】
After sending this message, Su Xingyao found that there was no movement from the other side for a while.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should find a topic, the other party started typing again. Mr. Lu: Why are you the only one here?
Seeing Lu Jiuxu's words, Su Xingyao realized that the picture that was stuck before had been uploaded. And just now, Lu Jiuxu didn't reply because he was looking at pictures.. [They are still putting on makeup, I don't need it]
After replying, Su Xingyao habitually added an emoticon package.
【Cat wagging its tail.jpg】
The cat in the emoticon package he posted is Coral. At that time, he took a short video of the other person and thought it was very cute, so he photoshopped it into an emoticon package for his own use.
A few seconds after Coral's cute emoticon was sent, Su Xingyao found that Lu Jiuxu quickly sent her a Coral in reply.
The only difference is that the other party sent him photos of corals that he had just taken.
Next to it is the sunset trying to break into the camera.
Mr. Lu: They want to cheer you on.
Su Xingyao quickly enlarged the photo.
Through the screen, I met the gazes of Sunset and Coral looking at me.
Looking at the cute cats and dogs, he recalled Lu Jiu's words, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously. His mood, which was originally a bit boring due to waiting, became much happier.
While Su Xingyao was chatting with Lu Jiuxu, a staff member came up to him.
"Teacher, please put your phone in this bag. For the privacy of our recording today, please hand in your phone. I will return it to you after the recording."
After that, the staff gave him a card to use to get his phone back. Su Xingyao glanced at the staff and quickly typed out a line of words.
[The staff asked us to hand over our cell phones]
After sending the message, before turning off his phone, he couldn't help but glance at the screen again. Then he saw the last four words sent by Lu Jiuxu.
Mr. Lu: Good luck in the competition
These four words couldn't be simpler, but Su Xingyao felt an inexplicable emotion when she saw them. This kind of information is actually nothing to ordinary people.
But this kind of concern that is so ordinary and yet couldn't be more ordinary is the first time for him.
He has actually never participated in any competitions since he was a child.
Apart from today, the only time was when I participated in a physics competition in high school.
But that time, it was not until he took the trophy home that his parents realized that they had forgotten to go to the scene to cheer him on.
He didn't think much of it at first, and even thought it was a bit exaggerated when he saw the contestants accompanied by their parents at the competition site. But only now did he understand.
In fact, the parents’ presence is not because the children are not independent enough, but because they care about their children. Because they care, they will keep this matter in mind.
For example, during today's game, Lu Jiuxu sent him a few words at the right time.
And finally a simple cheer.
This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being cared for by someone.
It's amazing and soothing.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
Su Xingyao was thinking when a slightly cute voice sounded in his ears. He raised his head and looked at the other person.
The person who was speaking was a cutely dressed boy, who was looking at her with his big deer eyes. Su Xingyao realized that he was asking her a question and quickly shook her head.
"No one, do you want to sit here?"
As soon as Su Xingyao opened his mouth, the boy next to him widened his eyes eight degrees.
"Wow your voice..."
The young man's tone revealed his undisguised surprise and excitement.
The cute cat suit of the person in front of me was eye-catching enough, but in the end, she was silent and looked like this ethereal and cold beauty with a bit of mechanical feeling!
This contrast is so perfect!
"You have a nice voice, do you use a voice changer?"
The young man quickly sat down next to Su Xingyao and asked curiously. Normal people could tell the voice of the voice changer, so Su Xingyao didn't shy away and nodded directly.
"Yes."
After getting a positive answer, the young man gave Su Xingyao a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are so cool!"
The other party's compliment was not just lip service.
He seemed to really like Su Xingyao's cat doll set. After getting Su Xingyao's consent, he immediately reached out and carefully touched the soft fur on his arm.
"Your style is so unique, I haven't seen it on the market yet."
“I designed it myself.”
The young man was shocked once again.
"You designed it yourself, no wonder it's so exquisite, brother you're awesome!" After saying that, he couldn't help but touch Su Xingyao's ear again.
"Ahhh, it's so beautiful. It's a pity that my phone was confiscated by the production crew, so I can't take a photo with you."
After saying that, he thought for a moment, then stretched out his hands, made a photo pose in the air, and took a manual "click" of himself and Su Xingyao.
“I can only take a photo manually.”
While the two were talking, most of the contestants in the waiting area suddenly arrived.
At this time, there were several people sitting in the rows in front and behind Su Xingyao.
The distance between the front and back rows of seats was not far, so many people heard the conversation between him and the young man just now.
Just as Song Yingming had guessed before.
Although the contestants invited by this program are not singers or stars.
But everyone is willing to participate. Except for a small number of contestants like Su Xingyao who love music and simply want to show off their skills, the rest of the contestants more or less want to become famous through the show.
Among these contestants, many are even well-known singers and internet celebrities online, and everyone has various little thoughts in their minds to a greater or lesser extent.
So far, this careful consideration has been reflected in their respective makeup styles.
Some internet celebrities who are somewhat famous did not ask the program team for a makeup artist, but instead brought their own makeup.
They either dress themselves up to be handsome and beautiful, with a star-like aura, or they try to be unconventional and dress themselves so uniquely that they have no friends.
In short, it’s about how to make people remember it at first sight.
However, no matter how these people dress up, no matter how exaggerated their makeup is, it is still within the range that everyone has seen, and the styling still belongs to the category of clothing.
But all these designs that they had put so much effort into were completely outshined by Su Xingyao's doll costume.
Once this doll costume is put on, anyone sitting there will be able to attract people's attention from all directions.
That's the case now.
Since Su Xingyao sat here, every contestant who came in would involuntarily look up at him. It was also because of his unique clothing that some people began to maliciously speculate about his intentions. In particular, the two people sitting in the front row of him, after hearing that he used a voice changer when speaking, began to discuss it in a sour manner.
"Oh my, this is really hard work for the camera."
"That's right, he even used a voice changer. Who would have thought of this..."
"It would be a bit unreasonable if we didn't win the championship after all the preparations."
The two of them joked with each other and laughed disdainfully from time to time.
It seemed as if they wanted Su Xingyao in the back row to hear them on purpose, and they didn't even think about lowering their voices.
"hey-hey,
Why would someone specially bring a stylist here to make things so complicated? Look how thoughtful they are."
"Hahaha, it's quite deliberate, but also quite funny. At first I thought it was a doll lady invited by the production team to cheer us up."
The more the two discussed, the more outrageous the topic became. So under their propaganda, not only Su Xingyao, but many of the surrounding contestants turned their eyes to Su Xingyao after hearing what they said.
Some were even rude and pointed directly in Su Xingyao's direction.
Feeling everyone's strange looks, the young man next to Su Xingyao rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He sat down next to Su Xingyao and quickly comforted her, "Ignore them. I just think your outfit is cool. The production team didn't stipulate that you can't wear doll costumes. I don't know what they are saying."
Su Xingyao has been facing all kinds of malicious comments from netizens since his debut. Some people were so crazy that they threw eggs and stones at him. With those experiences, Su Xingyao is actually not surprised by such things.
Although he didn't care about such malicious discussions and speculations, Su Xingyao was still very grateful that this young man, whom he had never met before, came out to protect and comfort him at this time.
He nodded and whispered, "Thank you."
Originally, Su Xingyao wanted to ask the other person's name, but the program crew had signed an agreement stating that everyone needed to keep their identity confidential during the first recording. Even if everyone recognized who you were, you could not mention each other's identities on the show.
Therefore, Su Xingyao did not ask the other party's name.
The young man didn't ask.
He is dressed very cutely, has a lively personality, and talks a lot.
After sitting down, he kept chatting with Su Xingyao.
At the end of the conversation, he even took out a small cat doll from his bag and hung it directly on Su Xingyao's clothes. "Okay, teachers, please be quiet for a moment."
The young man was about to say something but was interrupted by a staff member who suddenly appeared.
"For the sake of fairness, the order of appearance in today's preliminary round will be determined by drawing lots. Now I will bring the lottery box over, and everyone will go on stage in turn to draw their own appearance number."
After the staff member finished speaking, he immediately pushed out a blind box machine.
They bumped the serial numbers into the blind boxes, and as long as everyone turned around, a blind box with numbers in it would fall out.
The program's director, Director Song, has long been known for his love of drawing blind boxes, and Su Xingyao has also heard a thing or two about it.
I didn’t expect to see it with my own eyes and be able to participate in it so soon.
As soon as the staff member finished speaking, more than a dozen people went up and shook out their blind boxes.
Because Su Xingyao was far away and didn't want to join in the fun, he was one of the last few to go up.
When he smoked, the box inside was almost empty.
But he didn't care about the order of his appearance, so he shook it casually.
Soon, with a click, a yellow box fell out.
Su Xingyao opened it and found that it contained a bouncy ball with a watermelon printed on it.
"Cat, what's your number?
The young man who drew lots with him came to Su Xingyao and asked about his appearance number.
When asked, he showed his number, "I'm number 77."
After saying that, he smiled helplessly, "It's so late, it's really hard to wait..."
There are a total of ninety contestants today. With so many people participating in the competition, No. 77, which is almost at the end of the list, is indeed not an ideal number.
After hearing the other party's complaint, Su Xingyao immediately turned over her watermelon ball. It was written on it...
No. 78,
Same bad number.
The young man, who was originally frowning, suddenly became happy when he saw the number.
He happily put his hand on Su Xingyao's shoulder and all his worries were gone. "You know what, we are destined to be together." Su Xingyao nodded. They really got along well, even sitting next to each other. But they were not the only ones who were destined to be together.
The two people who were in charge of arranging Su Xingyao's numbers just now happened to draw 76 and 79 respectively. The two people peeked at Su Xingyao's numbers and found that the four of them were close together, so they pouted and left. A few minutes later, all the contestants had drawn their numbers.
The staff turned on the microphone again and asked all the contestants present to use their serial numbers as their nicknames during today's recording. Then they asked everyone to rearrange their seats according to the serial numbers they drew. After completing these preliminary preparations, the stage manager came on stage and hit the board. His eyes fell on the ninety contestants below, and he pressed the board down hard.
"The first recording of "The Voice of Heaven"..." "Officially begins!"
