Chapter 444 Amateur Competition
Nowadays, Gu Qingge is considered a top female star in the entertainment industry. The speed at which she has risen to the top is really outrageous, but her works are indeed excellent and her talent can overcome everything.
Logically speaking, a top star like Gu Qingge, whose eating and drinking can make the hot searches, should have a very busy schedule with countless announcements, trying to maximize her profits during this period of popularity.
But in fact, Gu Dacai, a complete outlier in the entertainment industry, is not as hardworking as other top stars. She has always been lazy in her work, so she is always criticized by her "fans" for being too lazy.
This may be because other so-called top stars are always worried that they will become outdated after being popular for one or two years. After all, there are now batches of assembly line idols, so the best way is to make enough money while they are still popular.
Players like Gu Qingge who treat the money in this world as game currency naturally don't take money seriously. As long as it is enough, it is enough.
After she found that she had more and more game coins, she also started to do charity. But it was not the kind of fake charity to avoid taxes, but real charity that really spent money on people in need.
Moreover, she is very low-key when it comes to charity. She just donates some game coins to give back to society. She doesn't think it's a big deal.
Gu Qingge now has only one announcement, which is "The Road to the King of Singers".
She just finished recording the second episode of this music variety show, and the process was of course still very smooth.
She still chose to sing a new song with a work card, and her style was of course still showy, and this time it could even be said to be the ultimate showy.
She hasn't forgotten that after she sang "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon" in the first episode, some music critics criticized her for showing off her skills and said that if she continued to show off in the next episode, she might be eliminated.
Gu Qingge thought to himself, I have already won first place in the first round, so I can do whatever I want in the second round, so why not continue to show off my skills?
Therefore, the song she chose to sing in the second episode was "Lu Hai Wei Wang".
This song is actually quite niche in the original world, but it is indeed incredibly difficult, requiring a very high level of voice and singing skills. It is said that no singer can perform it perfectly live.
Gu Qingge chose this song this time because he relied on his unique voice and master-level vocal skills, as well as the fact that it was a song he had written. However, even so, it was not easy to sing this song live.
But if this song is performed live perfectly enough, the stage performance will still be very exciting and explosive.
However, in this second episode, Gu Qingge did not expect to retain the first place, as this song still has a smaller audience.
In fact, Gu Qingge didn’t really care about the rankings in the previous recorded episodes. As long as he didn’t get eliminated and could securely enter the final “Battle of the King of Singers”, it would be enough.
So she would choose to be more stable in the odd-numbered periods and strive to get a high ranking, and then in the even-numbered periods, she could have some fun and play some niche music.
With her current popularity, singing skills and stage performance, she can make even the most niche songs come alive and easily win the votes of the audience.
Mainly, the feeling of the audience listening to the songs on site is different from that of the audience watching the recorded variety show later, because the recorded "The Road to the King of Singers" is still edited in the later stage.
This will cause the audience watching the show to be confused as to why they thought the singer sang well and chose songs they liked, but in the end he received few votes and was eliminated.
But if these audiences also come to listen in person, they will find that the audience's votes do make sense.
After Gu Qingge finished recording the second episode of the variety show "The Road to the King of Singers", she became free again.
Although she has almost been criticized by her "fans" as the most idle female star, some people even questioned that since Gu Qingge is so idle, is she really a top female star?
But Gu Qingge obviously didn't care about these complaints at all. She took advantage of her free time to apply to become a member of the China Tennis Association and the China Go Association.
Then she represented China University of the Arts and participated in the amateur "China Women's College Tennis Tournament".
Chinese tennis in this world is indeed very weak. Whether it is men's tennis or women's tennis, there are no outstanding professional players in the world.
This is not even as good as the original world. Although the popularity of tennis in the original world is not high, at least there is Li Na in women's tennis.
However, tennis does have a great influence in the world, and it is also one of the sports with the highest commercial value.
Among them, the top professional players in the field of women's tennis have very considerable incomes. Not only are the prize money for professional competitions very high, but once they become famous, top endorsements and advertisements in various sports fields will also come in.
The Chinese people around the world are still very eager to see a breakthrough athlete in the field of tennis like Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian in the field of track and field.
That’s right, in this world, China has world-class superstars in the field of track and field. Of course, football is also developing well, as mentioned before.
Since Chinese tennis has never been good and has not been very popular, the amateur-level "Chinese Women's College Tennis Tournament" held every year is almost unknown to everyone except veteran tennis enthusiasts.
The schools and athletes that participated in this event and achieved good results basically came from sports schools.
Art schools like China University of the Arts may send one or two girls to compete every year, but they are actually just amateurs and are often eliminated early in the group stage.
This time, Gu Qingge represented Huayi in the competition. She didn't even know about this competition, but she had shown off her skills on the school's tennis court before and even beat the teacher of the tennis club. Later, she often went to the school's tennis court to play.
So, she was chosen. Even people who don’t know much about tennis can see that she, a “tennis enthusiast”, seems to be quite fierce!
The news that Gu Qingge participated in this amateur tennis competition naturally spread like wildfire. The competition, which had originally received no attention, suddenly received considerable attention because of her star effect.
Netizens have commented on this:
"I just remembered that the talented lady Gu, who is so successful in the entertainment industry, is actually a female college student!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Gege, there should be a limit to your idleness. You're tired of the entertainment industry, so you want to try your hand at sports. Do you have the talent for it?"
"Chinese people don't have the talent to play tennis!"
"Actually, I really enjoy watching tennis, especially women's tennis. Those who understand, understand, okay (funny)"
"Amateur tennis matches are totally uninteresting. For domestic tennis matches, I only watch the Haidu Masters!"
"I think an amateur tennis enthusiast like Gu Qingge will be eliminated directly in the group stage. In previous years, all the players who made it to the women's singles quarterfinals were from sports schools."
