Almost at the same time, someone suddenly discovered that the global live broadcast of the "All-Round Artist Competition" which was supposed to start tomorrow, actually started today.
Moreover, not long after the live broadcast started, the number of viewers on the entire live broadcast platform increased exponentially.
The comments below also started to increase rapidly, and the activity was very high. Most of them were from well-known users on Facebook, and the atmosphere was heated up in a short time.
"Phew, I made it! If my friend hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known the All-Around Artist Competition started today. How's everything going now? I really like Vina, who just won the Rising Star Award this year. I bet she'll make it into the top three. Just based on her looks, she'll put everyone else to shame the moment she appears!"
"No matter how good Vina Yan is, she's no match for our queen Yaya, who has held the record sales championship for two consecutive years. Yaya truly has the aura of a fairy. No matter how you look at it, queen Yaya is more deserving of the title."
The entire comment section is abuzz with discussion. They have fans of different artists from all over the world, and even their favorite goddesses may have different areas of expertise. In the past, they could not be compared together, so only the All-Round Artist Competition could help to determine who was better.
Because of this, many people around the world have become fans of the competition. When they heard the news that the competition would be broadcast early, they immediately followed it. Facebook even became a hot topic and became the top headline in just two hours. The popularity is rising at a terrifying explosive power.
But it didn't take long for them to discover that this "All-Round Artist Competition" was a little different from the previous ones:
All the contestants wore masks that covered most of their faces and arrived at the competition dormitory without paying a penny.
As soon as this first elimination rule was announced, some fans cheered. "This rule won't faze our Yaya. Don't you know that our Yaya is famous for her unique personality? We fans can recognize her instantly just by looking at her hairstyle and outfit, without even looking at her face."
Sure enough, not long after, fans of Queen Yaya quickly locked onto a certain live broadcast camera.
The female artist inside was wearing a dragon cub mask that covered half of her face, but her eye-catching punk outfit and extremely bright pink long hair cleverly blended the woman's boldness and charm together, making her quite eye-catching and charming in the crowd. She was so eye-catching and charming that she was recognized not long after she walked out pushing her luggage.
"It's Yaya, oh my god, it's Yaya, I actually saw Yaya!"
"It's really Yaya. She's the only one in the world who has such aura. Hurry up, I want to get an autograph!"
In just a moment, a small traffic jam had already appeared at the airport. In the live broadcast, the pink-haired girl held out her food to her lips, made a 'shhh' gesture, and said, "I want to go to xx address now, but I can't pay. Could you give me a ride? Thank you."
The extremely relaxed tone and the mask given before the competition seemed useless to an artist with extremely high popularity and strong personality.
But this also achieved the purpose, which was to quickly identify the levels of the 100 shortlisted artists. Those highly famous artists were confirmed to be successfully shortlisted to attend tomorrow's filming less than half an hour after the initial elimination began.
Some of them were not recognized at first sight like Yaya, while others got help from passersby through their famous songs or moves and obtained a "ticket" to join the group.
There are only 23 artists like this among the 100, and their fans watched their goddesses get into passers-by's cars, or get borrowed fare and take a taxi to their destination.
But for other artists, it is not that easy. They may be well-known in their own country, but once they arrive in Country S, they are not much different from passers-by and can only try their best to get help from passers-by.
To suddenly go from being a high-profile celebrity to being an ordinary passerby is not a pleasant experience at all, and can even be extremely difficult.
There were a few artists who couldn't hold back and secretly took off their masks and showed their faces without the contest organizers noticing, or who directly stated that they were going to participate in the "All-Round Artist Competition" in order to seek help. However, they were all ruthlessly eliminated by the contest organizers.
In just one hour, three people were eliminated. They had only appeared in a few games before they were cruelly sent back.
"What a shame! One of the contestants on the eliminated team is a singer from Country X. I recognize her. Her voice and singing style are unique, and she's had a lot of hits lately. I thought she could go far, but I didn't expect her to lose before she even started..."
Fans who were watching the live broadcast platform couldn't help but sigh that this was just a warm-up for the elimination round of all-round artists.
But there are still a few who break the rules. Most of the nominated artists do not want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it is difficult and they are not well-known enough, they have enough strength to make up for it.
By singing on the streets or performing impromptu performances, they managed to collect enough money for transportation and then rushed to their destination. The time they spent was five to ten times that of the first group of artists.
At the same time, viewers of the live broadcast platform discovered that three avatar columns appeared on the platform, and in front of the avatar columns were three pattern logos of a dragon cub, a wild cat, and a butterfly.
Not long after, the first avatar in the dragon cub pattern column lit up. That avatar was none other than Yaya, the queen who was the most popular among fans and had a very strong personality and popularity!
Looking closely, I found that Queen Yaya had already arrived at the dormitory marked with the "Dragon Cub" pattern with the enthusiastic help of her fans.
Only now did everyone understand what these three columns of avatars meant. There are three collective dormitories for the competition, marked with a dragon cub, a wild cat, and a butterfly, which are consistent with the masks chosen by the selected artists, representing the dormitories they will stay in. Whenever an artist successfully arrives at the dormitory, their corresponding avatar will light up.
In other words, the lighted-up avatars will be the list of artists who can attend tomorrow.
At this point, fans of the competition couldn't help but get a little excited, and they couldn't help but discuss which famous artist would be the second one to light up.
"It must be our goddess Vina. She was recognized not long after Yaya, and Vina left the airport a little later than Yaya."
"It's also possible that the supermodel with long legs, just because of her long legs and extraordinary temperament, was recognized at about the same time as Vina."
Everyone was discussing the first and most famous artist to be released, and it was natural to think that the second place would emerge from these twenty-three people.
However… when the second avatar lit up, almost everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but blurt out a sentence:
"Who... is this?"
The second avatar that lit up was right next to the Queen Yaya. It was an Asian face with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin that was unfamiliar to the public.
Although they were good-looking and eye-catching, they didn't know who they were. They subconsciously asked who this artist was and subconsciously looked towards the living room of the dormitory where two people had already arrived.
Yaya had just entered the dormitory living room and had just sat down to hum a few lines when she heard a short knock on the door. The next moment, the door of the dormitory opened and an artist wearing a dragon cub mask walked in.
However, the artist was a rare Asian artist with black hair and black eyes. After seeing Yaya's pink hair, he paused, and then smiled brightly.
"Your hair looks really nice, I like it~"
"Oh, by the way, do you want something to eat? I've been hungry all morning and afternoon. Even though I had a burger to fill me up, I'm still hungry. I'm going to make something to eat. Do you want some? Is there anything you like to eat? You can order. I can cook most of the dishes."
As he spoke, everyone saw the Asian artist put the suitcase aside, then opened the refrigerator very naturally to look through it, then rolled up his sleeves and took out the ingredients.
Her demeanor was very natural and comfortable, without any nervousness as if she was facing her competitor. To put it more exaggeratedly, the Asian artist in front of her looked more like someone who was traveling than participating in the competition, and she did not show any extreme excitement towards Yaya in front of her.
But this naturalness made Yaya a little surprised. Since she became famous, she had seen many people, whether famous or not, come up to her and compliment her for winning the record sales championship for two consecutive years.
The former is to hype up the situation and make their own reputation more prominent, while the latter is even more to hype up the situation. While "complimenting" her, they seem to inadvertently pull her down to make themselves more popular, especially in a competition like this one that is already full of competition from the beginning.
Therefore, Yaya has made full preparations, no matter how the next opponent will respond.
But she never expected that the other person would smile and compliment her beautifully dyed hair the moment he came in, then ask her if she was hungry and go straight to get food. His attitude was so normal and natural that it didn't seem like...
"You don't know me?"
"I know you. You're Yaya, the one who won the record sales championship in Country M for two consecutive years."
Then why did you act so naturally? If you were to get closer to her and be polite, you'd get more shots, right?
Yaya subconsciously wanted to ask this, but before she could open her mouth, she heard the Asian artist say, "The sandwich is ready, this one is yours."
After a while, Yaya saw a sandwich in front of her, and there was a soft-fried egg on top of the sandwich. The color combination was beautiful, and just looking at it made her appetite increase greatly.
Yaya, who was not very hungry originally, felt a little hungry. When she came to her senses, she found that she had already eaten, and the food was even more delicious than she had imagined.
Food always makes people relax. Unconsciously, Yaya found herself chatting with the other party, talking about some issues related to songs. After such a chat, she felt extremely comfortable.
In the end, she actually became interested in the Asian artist across from her. Thinking about how she had been chatting for so long, she hadn't even asked the name of the Asian singer across from her, so she subconsciously said:
"By the way, I still don't know your name. What's your name? Are you a famous singer in any country?"
"Me? I'm Lin Long from China. You can also call me LongLong, but I'm not a singer. I'm a model."
"Not a singer?" Yaya couldn't help but be surprised. After all, the other party gave her the feeling that he was very accomplished in music. At least he picked up all the topics she threw out, and did so smoothly without any problems.
Lin Long's answer to this was even more natural. He smiled at Yaya opposite him, pointed to his head, and said:
"I have a pretty good memory. Because of some special needs in music, I've only been in it for a few months. As for the topics we just talked about, they were all things you mentioned in an interview. I happened to come across it on the plane and wrote it down."
Just write it all down?
Hearing this, Yaya and the audience in front of the live camera were a little stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they confirmed that the content of the previous conversation was exactly what their goddess Yaya had said in an interview before.
But because the Asian artist performed so naturally, no one noticed it at all, and no one thought that the Asian artist named LongLong was not a singer, but just a model!
"Asia, LongLong, model... Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before? Asian model, LongLong, Fashion Week, Huaxia... Wait, now I remember, isn't this the daughter of international supermodel Ed Ren, the model LongLong from Huaxia Goddess?"
Thinking of this, a good number of the audience members remembered it one after another. In other words, basically anyone who had watched the Fashion Week live broadcast a few months ago had an impression of LongLong, and they could quickly remember who he was when the name was mentioned.
But that's all. After all, compared to a very well-known artist like Yaya, she is not on the same level at all. Even when the avatar lit up, because I was not familiar with LongLong, I just thought she was pretty and didn't even remember who she was.
So, the question is, how did LongLong manage to arrive at the scene second only to Yaya?
Is it based on her fame? It doesn't seem like it. If LongLong hadn't introduced herself, they wouldn't have been able to remember who she was.
Relying on street singing performances to earn travel expenses is not feasible. This method will take more time and it is impossible to reach the dormitory so quickly.
"Don't even think about it. I went to replay the recordings the moment LongLong appeared, proving that everything she said about memorizing everything was true. Furthermore...she used her brain to get here, becoming the second artist to arrive at the dormitory."
Rely on your brain? How?
The audience who were waiting in front of the live broadcast couldn't help but slowly put a question mark when they saw this comment.
They really couldn't imagine how they could get a ride here just by relying on their brains.
Especially for those who watched the recorded broadcast, after coming back, almost all of their comments were in the style of "We are all born by our parents, why do children born by other people's parents have such high IQs?" It seemed that they were all crushed and defeated by someone's IQ.
Seeing this, the other audiences couldn't help but stand up. Even the audience who were not very curious about Lin Long at first, when they saw everyone else running over, couldn't help but subconsciously follow the trend and gossip, and all ran over to watch the recording.
After reading it, they finally understood what others meant by "relying on the brain".
And I deeply felt that my IQ was crushed. What does that mean?
In the recorded video, LongLong, wearing a dragon cub mask, was stunned for a while at the airport gate, as if thinking about something.
After a while, she walked back into the airport, pushing her suitcase, and stopped at several tourist attractions promoted by the airport to inquire in detail.
For example, if I wanted to take this route, what attractions were worth visiting during the drive? I asked about three or four people.
After asking, she asked several taxi drivers for prices and compared them.
So far, the audience couldn't understand what Lin Long was doing with these actions, until -
She stopped and took out an A4-sized notebook from her suitcase. She wrote a string of English words on the notebook with a thick marker. The general meaning was:
"A temporary tour guide will take you to see the scenery of Country S and then take you to your hotel."
However, the audience watched Lin Long slightly adjust her clothes, glance around the airport, and quickly lock onto two young, well-off boys from Country M. She switched between several languages, including Country S, very fluently.
Lin Long's generosity and humor, coupled with her familiarity with the native language, plus the low cost, was only slightly more expensive than if they had gone to a hotel.
For the two boys who were not short of money, they were happy to accept it. After all, the girl's invitation to be a tour guide always made them excited. She was also a very interesting Asian girl.
So, the audience watched helplessly as Lin Long, acting as a 'temporary tour guide', invited the two young boys from Country M to take a taxi, and continued to stop at many famous scenic spots in Country S for a long time, giving explanations in the car while walking.
As he was explaining this, the car drove to the dormitory and stopped.
When they saw the logo of 'Global All-Round Artist Competition', the two young American boys and the driver understood what was going on, but they were not angry at all.
Upon asking, I found out that the two boys had come to Country S specifically for the All-Round Artist Competition. While they were happy and excited that they had such close contact with the competition, they also asked Lin Long for her autograph, but they did not intend to blame Lin Long at all.
The reason is very simple, because this was originally a very good temporary tour guide deal. Although the route was set by Lin Long, she informed them in advance, and they agreed to it only because they thought there was no problem.
Moreover, along the way, they had pleasant conversations with Lin Long, and they gained more than just the joy of being a good tour guide. It also made them feel that their hard work was well worth it.
As for the driver, he does not suffer any financial loss. He just charges according to the normal rate.
I have to say that after watching these recordings, the audience in front of the live camera couldn't help but be a little confused. They had never imagined that there would be such a method.
What they could think of was similar to what most artists could think of, which was to earn money for their travels through singing and performing. They never expected that they could actually hitchhike so openly.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is... they discovered that the introductions to the attractions in Country S that Lin Long mentioned were all information she had obtained from the tourist information points at the airport.
In other words, Lin Long came up with a solution in such a short time and wrote down all the necessary information in a very short time to perfectly fulfill the role of this temporary tour guide.
It's no longer a question of IQ crushing, but a complete IQ crushing.
In addition to this, more people are curious about Lin Long. Her natural way of getting along with the extremely famous Yaya is what attracts more attention.
I have to say, in just a few hours, many people have been discussing the name LongLong.
Especially those viewers who are not in the fashion industry and don’t know much about the fashion circle can’t help but inquire about what happened to LongLong at the Fashion Week.
After learning about the whole story of the fashion week, the audience became even more curious. Although they didn't say it out loud, it was clear from the bursts of exclamations in their comments that there was one more artist who was promising and worth following in this all-round artist competition.
The most obvious proof is that after the other shortlisted artists arrived at the dormitory one after another, almost all the shortlisted supermodels were very familiar with Lin Long. As soon as they arrived at the dormitory, they would hug and greet Lin Long, and then greet other people in the dormitory.
No, it wasn't just Lin Long's dormitory. Even the other two dormitories nearby had supermodels coming to greet Lin Long and enthusiastically talking about Goddess and the international fashion world. It was extremely lively.
Her popularity is actually not inferior to that of the most famous queen Yaya. Moreover, the atmosphere on Yaya's side is mostly filled with flattery and mutual testing, while the atmosphere on Lin Long's side is obviously more harmonious and comfortable.
It felt a bit like a large gathering of girlfriends, and the center of their gathering was obviously Lin Long.
I heard that they all got to know each other during the Fashion Week, so their relationship is very ordinary.
Yaya, who was standing next to them, saw and heard all of this. What caught Yaya's attention was not only the unusually good atmosphere on the other side, but also the endless snacks on the table over there.
There were fruit salad, nut salad, mashed potatoes, etc., and all of these were made casually by LongLong to entertain the guests.
On her side of the table, there was nothing but a few glasses of water, beer and juice. The difference was so great that she couldn't help but think of the delicious sandwich she had in the afternoon.
"Gurgle" sound.
Yaya really felt a little hungry.
