No, that's not right. How old is Xiao Dede now? He's barely four years old. Even though the person in front of me looks like Xiao Dede, that doesn't mean he's Xiao Dede, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Long coughed twice and pretended to be calm. She looked up at the young and handsome man in front of her and asked unconsciously with a little stuttering:
"Hello... Hello, do you have a younger brother or something? Someone younger, but as handsome as you, a little beauty, the kind you'd really want to kiss."
Lin Long tried hard to depict the image of Xiao Dede in her mind, hoping that the other party would know more and more clearly.
However, just as Lin Long finished speaking, the man in front of her, who looked very much like Xiao Dede but was a grown-up version of him, smiled beautifully at her. A magnetic chuckle came over her:
"I don't have a brother, ma'am, but I'm very happy with the compliment you just gave me. Can I assume that you also think I'm very beautiful and want to be kissed?"
Lin Long, who had been trying hard to suppress the attraction to the beauty in front of him, suddenly heard these words. Somehow, he felt his face getting redder and hotter, and he became a little flustered for a moment. He just looked at the man in front of him with a red face, but he was completely at a loss.
It was precisely because Lin Long was only looking at his face and had no idea how to avoid his gaze that, over time, Brand, who had been very calm and wanted to tease Lin Long, couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face. He subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to meet Lin Long's gaze.
But when Brand really turned his head away, he felt a little reluctant. He hadn't seen Lin Long for more than a week. Even on the live broadcast platform, he wore a mask. He couldn't see Lin Long's face even if he wanted to. Now he could finally see it, and Lin Long's face was unexpectedly red, which was extremely rare. How could he bear not to see it?
So, in less than a second, Brand turned his head back again. As he looked, he didn't know when a few blushes appeared on his face. And the moment their eyes met again, their faces suddenly became even redder.
Until...& the prompt sound for the end of the live performance sounded on the field, and Lin Long suddenly realized that he was still in the elimination round.
But before she could react, there was a sudden burst of extremely enthusiastic cheers in the venue. The curtains that blocked the scene were removed, and at a glance, one could see many extremely excited faces, especially the female audience members, whose faces were almost red with excitement, revealing an appearance of being completely overwhelmed by the sweetness.
It was obvious that the two people in front of them did not do anything, and even the lines they spoke on the spot were so clichéd, just like the lines of pick-up and counter-pick-up from eight hundred years ago. It was so clichéd, but somehow, the audience seemed to see the "pink bubbles" surrounding the two of them, as if to say... Spring has arrived.
The most shocking scene was that the audience had to suppress the screams that were about to rise in their throats, and Brand felt a little embarrassed to turn his head away, but in the end he couldn't help but turned back to look at the other person.
Little did he know that when Brand made this move, Lin Long on the opposite side also subconsciously made the same move. They both turned their heads, but couldn't help but want to look at each other, so they turned their heads back again, and at the moment they turned their heads back, they met each other's eyes.
This moment is so sweet, especially since both of them are so beautiful. Putting them together, the picture is absolutely picturesque, and it completely meets everyone's most beautiful fantasy of beautiful things and beautiful feelings! !
The excited shouts at the scene were getting louder and louder, and almost everyone's face was very excited, except for... Liu Long who was sitting in the reinforcement seat. He looked like he was lying down and had lost his mind.
In fact, He Long, Will and Ed Sanlong were fine. After seeing their Wang Brand, who had been so shameless and stuck to their kids before, they were more or less mentally prepared for the situation on the scene. But Andre, Norton and Zhao Yan were not in good condition, not at all.
Especially the Silver Dragon Andre, who was just about to excuse his 'foolish' low score from a while ago. To prove that he was still a Silver Dragon dad who loved his dragon cub very much and that the low score before was just a beautiful misunderstanding, he came today and gave his cub his full support of 100% from the reinforcements seat!!!
For this reason, Silver Dragon Andre specifically instructed the host David before the game, asking him to ask the reinforcements on their side to give a preliminary score before letting the judges score, to prove his loyalty to his cubs.
And in this situation, what's the point of him proving himself? He gave it a perfect score, doesn't that mean he completely agrees with this 'marriage'?
Are you kidding me?! No way, absolutely not. Even though the brat who kidnapped his own child is his own king, and he knows he can't kick him out, but, but, don't be so quick, at least let his child stay with him a little longer. Shit! Andre was so angry and heartbroken.
In fact, it has been proved that bad things either come at once or come in a series of misfortunes. In the next moment, Silver Dragon Andre felt very clearly what this feeling was.
The next moment, the host David looked at Andre in the reinforcement seat with an extremely diligent look and said loudly:
"What a wonderful performance! Hearing the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, I know this is bound to be a thrilling one. Now, it's finally time for the most tense judging round. After all, in this round, the number of eliminations will double, from dozens to twenty. Before the judges announce the final results, let's ask for your opinions from the support seats. First... Mr. Andre, what are your thoughts on this performance? Will you still give it a low score of 'one'?"
It has to be said that at this moment, David, the host with a strong desire to survive, performed extremely well in order to keep his job. His final short sentence "Will you still give a low score of 'one point'?" subconsciously put all the focus of the scene on Andre. No matter whether he gave a low score or a high score at this moment, it would attract special attention.
But now, Andre was thinking:
Damn, don't shift the focus here! He just wants to forfeit this match! Forfeit! He doesn't want to give away his own dragon cub! Even if the one below is his king, it still counts! So at this moment, he should keep a low profile. How could that host David be so tactless? He'll definitely fire him later! Fire him!
TAT!!!
However, at this moment, Andre no longer had the opportunity to "quit quietly" because the host David's loud guidance not only made almost the entire audience's focus fall on him, but even Lin Long and Brand on the field subconsciously raised their heads and looked in Andre's direction.
But the looks they gave Andre were completely different. When his own dragon cub Lin Long looked at him, although her face was still a little flushed, she subconsciously smiled brightly at him. Looking at her, he felt so healed that Andre, who hadn't touched a dragon cub for a long time, just wanted to hold his cub in his arms and rub it hard, just like when they were on Dragon Island.
But the look in Brand's eyes when he looked at him was completely different. Although there was no extra expression of blame, anger or other unnecessary expressions on their king's face, his eyes were a little clearer at this moment. He looked at Andre with a little indifference, which made Andre feel a chill on his back for no reason, and he clearly felt the implicit threat from his own king!
At this moment, Silver Dragon Andrei felt like crying out of grievance. He even wanted to dig a hole and bury his entire dragon. As if that way, no one could see him, and he wouldn't have to make any extremely 'terrifying' scoring choices!
But in fact, in the current situation, Andre has no choice. He can't play with low scores anymore. If he plays again, his cubs will probably ignore him and lose him.
So, even though Andre was reluctant, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and give it a perfect score! !
This score once again made Andre the center of attention. Even though his score wasn't factored into the overall ratings, how could Andre not be surprised by his sudden about-face, given that he'd previously always given the lowest score?
When asked about the reason, Andre covered his wounded heart and praised his cub Lin Long in various ways, fully demonstrating his brilliance as a "fence-sitter". While praising Lin Long in various ways, he also scolded himself for his stupidity in the first three rounds.
This speech made the whole audience burst into laughter. Just as the speech was about to end and Andre was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the host David brought up the matter again and said:
"Haha, is that so? Then, Mr. Andre, can you tell me what you thought of contestant number two, Lin Long's impromptu performance of 'love at first sight'? Do you think their performance was very well-matched? Everyone around them was shouting, 'They're almost together!'"
No, they are not the same and do not match. If they match, his cub will be gone, gone!!!
Andre really wanted to open his mouth to refute, but the moment he saw Brand cast another cold look at him, Andre could only cry wildly in his heart and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"Good, that's really good, very fitting."
Then, Andre finally lost his mind, lay down completely, and didn't want to talk anymore.
The result of the fourth elimination round was very obvious. The ten judges present all gave Lin Long high scores, making her tied with Yaya for third place. Vina, who was originally in fourth place, rose to second place, and her score was very close to that of the first place Momo.
However, a large number of people were eliminated in the fourth round. Some contestants who had performed well before were eliminated due to a few points difference. It was very regrettable and sad, but on the other hand, it also reflected the cruelty of the All-Round Artist Competition.
However, the day was not over yet. After the fourth round of eliminations, the host David did not let the contestants leave. Instead, he let them rest for more than ten minutes and then immediately announced the assessment content for the fifth round of eliminations - advertising.
"This assessment is completely different from the previous ones. It assesses market value, and regarding the 'advertisement' announcement, I believe the remaining forty contestants have all had similar experiences. Your experience far exceeds that of me, the host. I won't elaborate further. Please look at the big screen behind you. There are two advertisements presented by investors. Choose one of them. The evaluation method is the same. The twenty contestants with the lowest total scores will be eliminated from the competition, and their progress will end here."
Just as David finished speaking, two completely different advertising introductions flashed on the big screen behind him.
The one on the left is an ad for a sports drink, while the one on the right is an ad for a music store.
Just one glance and you can tell that these are two completely different advertisements. The one on the left is obviously more suitable for young and passionate girls, while the one on the right is the complete opposite, and is more suitable for girls who are gentle, elegant and have a strong aura.
"This round of competition isn't just a competition. The two contestants with the highest scores in each of the two advertising competitions will be directly awarded advertising contracts, and will be promoted globally after the fifth elimination round!"
What does this mean? It means that starting from the fifth round of eliminations, it will be the warm-up for the finals. As long as you are able to win this fifth round of eliminations, advertisers will give you free global publicity in advance to widen the gap in audience favorite votes.
In other words, if they fail to win the next two rounds, even if they stay until the end and are not eliminated, it will be meaningless, and they will basically have no chance of winning the final championship.
If you think about this principle a little more deeply, you will basically understand the key.
After all, the contestants present are no longer newcomers, and they are well aware of a series of operations within the circle, such as cooperative promotion, hype effects, etc.
Suddenly, the expressions in the eyes of the more than 40 contestants present changed and became more excited. It was obvious that from this moment on, a new fierce battle would begin between all the contestants.
In particular, the host said that the final assessment of the fifth round of eliminations will be held in three days. During this period, in order to have a better performance, the 40 contestants present can invite an outsider to help within these three days.
Can we invite someone from outside the competition to help? Lin Long subconsciously thought of Yang Yiyi, but she quickly rejected it. Not to mention that Yang Yiyi was currently filming on the set and couldn't spare the time, just the combination of her and Yang Yiyi was not a good match.
It’s not that Yang Yiyi is not good or not eye-catching enough, but the effect of her and Yang Yiyi combined cannot achieve the king-bomb effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Although she is not a newcomer in the advertising field, it is true that her experience is far less than that of others. Therefore, Lin Long wants to start with a powerful effect at the beginning, such as an exceptionally bright and unforgettable appearance.
Wait, if we're talking about good looks, isn't there someone right in front of us? Although that person's words made Lin Long feel a little tricky.
But after weighing the possible profits in the end, Lin Long, whose ability to make money was activated, felt that blushing and face were nothing to worry about. These were all child's play. It was not the style of a dragon not to seize the benefits in front of him.
So, the next moment, Lin Long raised his hand without hesitation and said directly to the host in front of him, "Can the person from outside the Great Wall be invited to be someone present? I have already decided on the candidate and will not change it."
Lin Long's sudden action scared the host David.
In his opinion, for such a rare opportunity, it is natural to find some well-known big names to lead the team. This is a very normal operation. If his own score is not high, he can rely on his big-name companions to help him. How can he choose the candidates so quickly?
But Lin Long's actions did not violate the rules of the competition.
So, the host David nodded and said it was okay, as long as Lin Long didn't make any changes.
Then, everyone present saw Lin Long turn sideways, walk straight to a temporary actor nearby, and politely invite him:
"Hello, sir. Could you please accept my invitation and be my temporary partner for the fifth round of eliminations? I think our collaboration can produce a very good result."
And the temporary male actor was obviously not someone else. It was just Brand who temporarily played the male actor. Who else could it be?
Facing Lin Long's invitation, Brand smiled brightly and nodded.
"I will gladly accept your invitation, my lady."
This move made the whole audience burst into an uproar. It was because Brand was an excellent choice. However, they had not thought of inviting temporary male actors. If they had known, they would have gone on stage long ago. Maybe it would have been their turn instead of Lin Long's.
One contestant was muttering a little unwillingly. She was a model and had also dabbled in singing and acting.
She knows that her modeling skills are not as good as supermodel Momo, and her acting and singing skills are not as good as Vina and Yaya, but her overall level is high. At least she should get a better ranking, right?
Who would have thought that an artist named "Lin Long" would steal the limelight from him. Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was feeling very dissatisfied in his heart.
I feel that Lin Long's performance was not that good. At most, her idea was more novel. If it were her, she could do it too.
Especially the moment she saw Brand, she was fascinated by him. She wanted to exchange contact information with him after the elimination match, but she never expected that Lin Long got there first.
The 'new grudge' plus the 'old grudge' made her feel even more dissatisfied, so much so that she couldn't help but mutter this sentence.
This sentence happened to be heard by Yaya who was standing next to her. Without changing her expression, she said directly:
"No, Anqi, it's obvious that the actor named 'Brand' will only accept Lin Long's invitation. It's not a matter of timing, but rather who invited him... And, Anqi, you're getting anxious. If you keep going like this, not only will you not win, you'll probably be among the next eliminations. This is my advice as a former friend."
After saying that, Yaya looked casually at the big screen on the other side. On the big screen over there, the total points and rankings of the forty contestants were displayed.
Anqi, who originally ranked second in the first game, now ranks 22nd in total points.
The fifth round of eliminations is from forty to twenty. If Anqi's total points cannot be raised in the fifth round, she will indeed be eliminated.
For a moment, Anqi's face turned pale and ugly, while Yaya had already walked away calmly, as if the "advice" just now was not hers at all.
However, no one knew that at the same time on the same day, in a somewhat gloomy ancient manor somewhere in Country S, dozens of "people" were standing crowded together.
They were all cheering for getting the young body they wanted, and they all knelt down towards the young man in the middle, shouting frantically:
"May our king seize the body of the Dragon King and finally become the true king."
"We have waited a long time for this day. Now that all the dragons have gathered in Country S, this is our greatest opportunity. When it is over, this will be the world of our Earth Dragon Clan."
"Our Earth Dragon Clan will soon be resurrected and will dominate this world—"
