One hour before the game.
The 80,000-seat stadium was packed.
There were many people waiting outside.
Although they didn't know what they were waiting for, they could at least feel the atmosphere by standing outside.
The four rooms backstage are completely soundproof. At this moment, in each room, in addition to the performing artists, there are also many staff members.
As usual, Zhou Yiyang sat in a separate room, but this time there were a lot more people in the room.
"Boss Zhou," Ling Hu said after entering the room. He had no idea there would be so many people sitting here. "Is this an internal company party?"
Zhou Yiyang raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Everyone has been telling me how much they want to see the show live! All the tickets outside are sold out, so I thought I'd give you guys a great seat to watch the game."
What is different from the past is that their room is no longer broadcast on TV, but is located above the stage and is an independent box set up in the stadium.
Watching the game from this place is naturally very clear.
Ling Hu glanced at Luo Chen, who had already sat down, thought for a moment, and then sat down next to him.
"Are you okay? Why do you look more nervous than those who are about to participate in the competition?"
Luo Chen uttered an "ah" and shook his head: "No way, I'm obviously very calm now."
Ling Hu laughed when he heard this. "Really? Why do you sound so unsure? Are you putting yourself in their shoes, and that's why you're so nervous?"
"Maybe," Luo Chen scratched his head, his expression still a little absent-minded. "After all, I heard recently that everyone has prepared a special skill. I have a feeling that this finals will definitely be an upset."
At this time, Helian Bei looked over and said, "I think your views on these four people are still too conservative."
"Really?" Luo Chen looked at Helian Bei. He was still very concerned about what the boss said. "Brother Bei, do you have any special news?"
"That's not the case." Helian Bei raised his eyebrows and said lightly:
"But I know that the four of them haven't yet fully demonstrated their strength. And if you've watched all the matches so far, you should know that the four of them are still very dominant."
"That's true in terms of popularity," Zhou Yiyang laughed. "But I didn't put too much pressure on them. Just play the game normally. After all, anyone who makes it to the finals has the potential to win."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who walked in was Ning Mang.
He had originally bought a ticket, but after hearing that Zhou Yiyang had better seats, he gave the ticket directly to his brother.
"Lao Zhou, wow, there are so many people here!"
Ning Mang suddenly became happy: "If I ask everyone to give me an autograph, wouldn't that make me rich?"
Zhou Yiyang shook his head and said with a smile:
"You're not short of money, are you? As for autographs, I'll give you as many as you want."
Ning Mang chuckled. "Old Zhou, you must have exploited them a lot, right? Otherwise, how could you say such a thing?"
Luo Chen immediately joked, "Yeah, Brother Yang is always nice to everyone else, but he's pretty strict with us employees."
Guan Fei listened to their conversation and started laughing.
But she picked up her phone and took the time to check out the trending searches before the game started.
Just as she expected, even though the competition hadn't started yet, the World Singer Contest had already started dominating the hot searches.
At a glance, five of the top ten are related to competitions.
The one currently at the top of the list is a Weibo post guessing who will be the champion.
Guan Fei clicked in and took a look. The number of people participating in the vote has now exceeded one million.
As expected, Moonlight Girl currently has the highest support rate, accounting for 80% of the votes.
However, given that this is a domestic vote, Guan Fei also knows that it is not objective.
"There's still half an hour left," Bai Yangyu reminded, "I'll have all the departments check the equipment again. With so many people watching the live broadcast tonight, there absolutely can't be any mistakes."
"Yeah," Zhou Yiyang nodded, "but for the four of them, they should still have an hour to prepare."
Except for Guan Fei and Bai Yangyu, everyone present was stunned.
They all turned around and looked at Zhou Yiyang:
"Old Zhou," Ning Mang said, becoming curious. "What's with this extra half hour? Are you hiding some secret weapon?"
Zhou Yiyang on the opposite side smiled but said nothing: "Now that I say it, there is no surprise at all. But you have contributed to this."
Ning Mang exclaimed, seeming to be still thinking about how this related to him.
But he suddenly had an idea and figured it out.
"I know! Was this the reason you came to my dad before?"
"Right." Zhou Yiyang nodded: "I really have to thank Uncle Ning. Without him, I might not be able to do so many things."
Luo Chen and Ling Hu looked at each other, feeling as if they had missed a lot of the plot.
"Um..." Luo Chen couldn't help but say, "I have a question."
Zhou Yiyang, who was standing by, looked over and said, "Ask."
"I have a bold idea. Will there be an opening ceremony next? Something like the Olympics or the World Cup?"
Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows: "You are quite smart!"
Luo Chen gasped, "Holy crap, Mr. Zhou, you're amazing! I have a feeling this finals will go down in the annals of our country's variety show history!"
Ling Hu on the side couldn't help but remind him:
"I have a feeling the World Singer Contest would have been on the list long ago. It's the only variety show with over 200 million viewers worldwide and record-breaking ratings in over 80 countries both domestically and internationally. It's unprecedented and will never be repeated."
"That's exactly what happened!" Luo Chen murmured. "Once these figures came out, I realized just how amazing our show is."
At the same time, a thirty-minute countdown reminder sounded in every preparation room.
Tang Yue was looking in the mirror. She pursed her lips, and the hand holding her lipstick trembled a little: "This countdown is so annoying. What does Brother Yang think?"
"Let's have a sense of urgency!" Lin Xuan'er took a deep breath and said, "Don't say it, I'm really nervous."
"Who isn't?" Su Yin patted her thigh. "The last time I was this nervous was when I participated in the 101 finals."
Wang Xingrui cleared her throat and tried to keep her voice in the best condition:
“We should do our best and leave the rest to fate. We should just do what we can.”
