As soon as Li Mengjiao and others arrived in Hunan Province, they stayed in the hotel arranged by the organizer. After meeting up with the champions and runners-up of other divisions, the eight contestants from four divisions made a collective appearance at the Mango TV press conference, and Mango TV announced the competition format of the finals in public.
The four champions of each region will directly advance to the annual finals.
The four runners-up will have to compete individually for the last spot in the annual finals, and only one person can participate in the finals.
This competition is called "Resurrection Night" by Mango TV. The public jury in the venue will be cancelled on Resurrection Night, leaving only three professional judges. At the same time, off-site voting will be opened to decide the stay or departure of the four runners-up!
As soon as this competition system was announced, it caused an uproar among the media on the scene.
Before the press conference, the organizers kept the news a secret, saying that only the regional champions could participate in the annual finals. Unexpectedly, a "resurrection match" was added at the last minute.
At this point in the competition, there are still three games waiting for all the contestants.
The first game is the runner-up resurrection breakout game, where four runners-up compete for the only resurrection breakout spot.
The second game is the annual 5 to 3 competition.
The third game is where the top three contestants will compete for the championship!
At the press conference, Director Fan spoke on behalf of Mango TV and promised that after the competition, the organizer would tailor personal albums for the top three contestants in the finals.
"With the participation of major musicians and millions of publicity funds, we will help the top three contestants achieve their dreams and make them loved by more audiences."
This is naked star-making.
Xu Mei's heart was in turmoil, and Li Mengjiao was a little embarrassed.
If the organizers really wanted her to release a solo album, it wasn't impossible, but the prerequisite was that she didn't sign a contract... If she didn't sign a contract, then the solo album promised by the organizers would be gone, right? Li Mengjiao felt a little sorry, but in the blink of an eye, she heartlessly tossed the matter aside.
This guy never thought that if she didn't sign the contract, she would theoretically have no chance of being in the top three of the year.
This press conference was reported by many media outlets. Since Chengdu has sub-competition areas, the Chengdu media naturally had to report on it.
The second day after the press conference was Saturday. Wen Ying saw a group photo of the contestants while holding the morning paper.
Xu Mei was definitely the center of the stage, and Li Mengjiao stood next to Xu Mei.
It seems that the organizers really want to promote Xu Mei.
In this life, the butterfly wings that were reborn by Wen Ying flapped, and the champion and runner-up of the Chengdu division were replaced. This change in turn affected the entire competition.
Wen Ying remembered that in her previous life, the organizers did not promise to tailor personal albums for the top three contestants. Maybe they told the contestants privately, but the audience had never heard it anyway.
After the competition ended in the previous life, the top three contestants did release personal albums and made a fortune while the popularity of the competition was still there. After the popularity died down, the top three contestants did not remain popular for too long, except for the contestant who was of the same type as Li Mengjiao and was dropped by the butterfly this year. Although this contestant's star journey has experienced ups and downs, he has been struggling in the entertainment industry and became popular again after being silent for more than ten years... Wen Ying has reason to suspect that the organizer announced that they would create personal albums for the top three contestants, in addition to hyping up the popularity, another reason is to attract Li Mengjiao to sign a contract.
Of course, Li Mengjiao, who is a simple-minded person, probably didn't see the twists and turns in it.
Mother Li must have noticed it, but she would not specifically remind Li Mengjiao!
"Look at what you are smiling so happily at."
Chen Ru peeked in and said, "Don't be like those little girls chasing stars. Those star-chasers are stupid. They waste their precious time on something that doesn't pay off. They won't be able to get into a good university or find a job in the future. Isn't the celebrity they liked responsible for arranging a job for them?"
Wen Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The words are rough but the truth is there. Ms. Chen Ru is right. Chasing stars will delay studies, and it is indeed impossible for stars to be responsible for the rest of their fans' lives.
But this cannot be blamed entirely on the stars. The same goes for playing games, reading novels, and all other hobbies that are easy to get addicted to. Excessive addiction will hinder study and work. If teenage students have poor self-control and no parental supervision, it is easy for them to neglect their studies. Thinking about it this way, her mother's supervision of her in her previous life killed her hobby, but also prevented her from being addicted to novels and not studying?
"Are you listening to me?"
Wen Ying nodded vigorously and put the newspaper away. "These are all good advice. How could I not listen? Not only did I listen, I also agree with you from the bottom of my heart!"
I don’t know when Wen Ying changed.
Wen Ying is still very insistent on matters of principle, but she is more willing to give in to Chen Ru in trivial matters.
Chen Ru suspected that Wen Ying was just trying to fool her, but unfortunately she had no evidence.
It’s true, the dull Wen Ying is not likable, and the overly upright Wen Ying who would take the blame is also not likable. Now, the smooth-talking Wen Ying just hits Chen Ru’s sore spot... Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Chen Ru is no exception.
On the surface, the relationship between mother and daughter is gradually becoming harmonious. Under Wen Ying's deliberate guidance, Chen Ru will also take the initiative to talk to Wen Ying about some "big things".
While eating breakfast, Chen Ru couldn't hold back her words:
"We may need to put off renovating our house for a while. I think it's nice to live here. It's close to your school."
Wen Ying put down her chopsticks and said hesitantly, "Are you short of money? Then wait two months and see if the store can spare a few tens of thousands—"
"You focus all your energy on studying. Your family is not short of money, and we don't need you to earn money for the renovation."
Chen Ru interrupted Wen Ying, fearing that Wen Ying would not believe her, so she told the truth:
"I want to lend the renovation money to your aunt first. Your aunt's company closed down, and she sold her car. Now all she has left is that old Santana! I heard that the next step is to sell the house. How can you sell the house you bought with great difficulty? It will be difficult to buy it back. Lending the renovation money to your aunt may help her get through this difficult time. As for your uncle Deng Shangwei, he is not reliable at all!"
There were some things that Chen Ru still didn't tell Wen Ying in detail.
Chen Ru knew that Chen Li and Deng Shangwei had three houses, one in the community where they lived now, a small house, and a new, unrenovated house that Chen Ru bought in the same community.
Deng Shangwei's business is collapsing. Chen Li's red Mazda has been sold. Chen Ru does not agree with Chen Li selling the house. Chen Li has two sons. What will happen if Deng Jie and Deng Hao get married in the future?
A man with a criminal record like Deng Shangwei is too unreliable. Chen Li refuses to divorce, and Chen Ru is unwilling to bother with Deng Shangwei.
Wen Ying opened her mouth slightly, "Mom, my aunt sold the car because... Anyway, my aunt's family situation is not as bad as you said!"
Chen Li sold the car in order to prove the fact that Deng Shangwei was "bankrupt".
But after selling the Mazda, Deng Shangwei started looking for new cars for Chen Li, and even secretly took Wen Ying to see them, planning to give the new car to Chen Li as a surprise after closing the deal with Yu Wenhao.
Chen Li had already explained Pan Li's matter to Chen Ru, but Chen Ru didn't believe it.
Wen Ying wanted to say that Deng Shangwei wasn't such a jerk and that his bankruptcy was fake, but Chen Ru didn't want to hear a word:
"You're still a child, what do you know? Okay, I'm just informing you about the loan. I don't need your consent."
——Oh, this is the mother I am familiar with.
