The competition roster was finalized, and with Xiao Lu's help, Xu Yanyu began drawing lots to determine the order of appearance in the competition.
Xu Yanyu shook a bottle of mineral water, tapped it a couple of times, glanced at it, and then burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."
The laughter stopped abruptly, and she returned the phone to Xiao Lu.
"Teacher Xiaoqiang, what number did you draw to go on stage?" Xiaolu was confused by Teacher Xiaoqiang's reaction.
Did we get a good ranking, or did we not get a good ranking?
"The grand finale." Xu Yanyu's tone carried a sense of detachment, as if she had seen through the illusions of the world.
"Congratulations, Xiao Qiang Lao... um..." Xiao Lu finally realized what the so-called grand finale appearance meant.
This just means I got last place again.
Teacher Xiaoqiang's luck is just like mine.
Xiao Lu thought for a moment and changed her words, saying, "Teacher Xiao Qiang, you are the best."
Xu Yanyu nodded calmly.
There's nothing I can do about it; I'm used to it.
She was just unlucky in her past life.
When it comes to grabbing red envelopes in group chats, she always ends up getting only a few cents.
One hundred people draw one hundred and ten prizes, with only one consolation prize. She always draws that one and only consolation prize.
This time she just drew the last spot to go on stage again, she remained calm!
She relies on her abilities, not luck.
Xu Yanyu lay calmly, showing no sign of anger.
This shows how terrible habits can be.
"The peacock is the first to go on stage, the second is the handsome shark, and the third is the alluring fox," Xiao Lu muttered to herself, looking at her phone.
At this moment, the peacock, swaying and flamboyant, also began to take the stage and sing.
This time, the peacock flaunted its full charisma.
This time, she specifically chose a song that was more technically challenging.
He opened his mouth with an ethereal and stirring high note, which immediately stunned the entire audience.
Xu Yanyu sat up straight, her face full of amazement. She exclaimed, "This singing is truly amazing. Although she completely abandoned emotion and only focused on technique, it still really commands the stage."
"If she had sung this song from the beginning, she wouldn't have ended up in a draw with that seductive fox."
Xiao Lu looked at Teacher Xiao Qiang with a puzzled expression and explained, "Teacher Xiao Qiang, this is Cui Xue Rui's masterpiece."
She sang this song when she was fifteen, and the album became an instant hit. Didn't you hear this song when you were a child?
"Haha, this song is sung by Cui Xuerui?" Xu Yanyu laughed it off, she really hadn't heard it before.
Xiao Lu accepted Teacher Xiao Qiang's explanation and continued, "Cui Xue Rui didn't provide this accompaniment before; it seems she changed it at the last minute. Wait a moment, I'll go ask the colleagues in the accompaniment team."
Xu Yanyu thought to herself, "That seductive fox is quite something, forcing a diva to bring out her signature song."
At this moment, Cui Xuerui's hands on stage were shaking violently!
She originally didn't plan to sing this song on the "Masked Singer" stage, but after tying with the Enchanting Fox in the first half, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Even if she loses to a talented singer like Sexy Little Strong, she can still explain it after the show.
But losing to someone like the alluring fox spirit was enough to get him kicked out of the industry by fans.
The more her heart tightened, the more her hands trembled, and then she accidentally cracked a note.
Kong Liang frowned, and his hand, which was tapping out a rhythm, stopped.
"Huh? Her voice cracked? That shouldn't be the case for her."
Zhang Yinghao leaned over and said, "She's under a lot of pressure. If I were in her situation today, I wouldn't be able to stay calm either."
She didn't take the competition seriously at first, so now she's being chased by the newcomers.
Fu Zishan sighed, "It's not her fault. We're the same when we're filming."
Don't think that you can live off your past fame. Artists don't have a legacy to rely on.
With such fierce competition now, newcomers are even more talented.
If you dare to slack off, you'll be trampled underfoot by the newcomers.
"If it's not good, it's not good, whether it's a newcomer or a veteran. For the audience, they only recognize the work itself; whoever's work is excellent, the audience will pay for it."
And this is what I've always believed in and pursued. Whoever is capable, whoever excites me, that's who I like.
Wei Li expressed his true feelings without any reservations.
Lan Shuifang, who was standing to the side, just sighed.
Control room.
The assistant director looked at the list in his hand and nodded repeatedly. "Not bad, this semi-final is going to be interesting, it's just that Xu Yanyu is a bit unlucky."
Next time, let's see if we can move her order forward a bit. Otherwise, if we keep doing this, the audience will think we're deliberately targeting her.
"Whatever you want." Director Zhou held a form in his hand, checking off a few boxes every now and then. He suddenly said, "Have the publicity and operations staff post it on Weibo."
Director Zhou has already grasped the importance of the word "marketing".
The show only airs on Friday, and the competition is only halfway through filming, yet he already knows it's time to start marketing.
The staff in charge of publicity received instructions and gathered together to discuss.
"Director Zhou is going to post a preview of the show on Weibo. What are the selling points for the first half?"
One of the staff members, who had her hair in a bun, said, "Right now, Sexy Xiaoqiang is the most popular, and the audience is paying the most attention to her. We can think about it from this perspective."
"The newcomer, Enchanting Fox, had a pretty good stage performance. How about we cut a video of Sexy Little Strong versus Enchanting Fox in a battle?"
The speaker was a male employee wearing a plaid shirt, who was clearly an audience member of the seductive fox brand.
"How can the alluring fox be worthy of competing with the sexy cockroach? It's such an insult to our sexy cockroach!"
"Our sexy Xiaoqiang is the only one who's beautiful!" The staff member with her hair in a bun put her hands on her hips and looked at the colleague in the plaid shirt with disdain.
"I think the mentors' reactions were also very interesting. We can't just promote the contestants."
Another older colleague said.
"Then each of you give me a proposal, and I'll select the best one later."
The leaders of the publicity team never abused their power to suppress people, but instead let their subordinates let their work speak for itself.
Several people nodded and buried themselves in their work.
After the peacock swaggered off the stage, it was the handsome shark's turn to take the stage.
This time, the handsome shark chose a Cantonese song.
"It was just a relationship, just forget about it."
"If you want to cry, just cry it out..."
...
"Huh, it's a Cantonese song. It's a sad song, and the rough voice makes it sound quite unique." Xu Yanyu clapped her hands, savoring the song.
Xiao Lu scratched her head in deep thought, "This tune sounds familiar."
Wei Li, standing on the platform, clapped his hands and said, "This is an adaptation of a song from Sangguo. The original singer from Sangguo seems to be a girl."
"So the original singer was a woman. No wonder I felt a bit uneasy about it; it was because the styles didn't match. It might have sounded better if a girl sang it."
Lan Shuifang expressed her views.
"It's alright. The adaptation technique is very advanced," Zhang Yinghao analyzed from a professional perspective.
Chulina is in her rest area, tidying up her clothes in preparation for going on stage.
