Chapter 498: Order of Appearance
During these three days, although the live studio was not closed, the camera was always focused on the empty space at the entrance of the hotel.
It was not moving at all.
Occasionally, artists from a certain country could be seen going out, but they only flashed by, as everyone was in a hurry to rehearse.
No one had time to deliberately perform in front of the camera.
Xia Jinning and others went directly to the competition venue, and when they arrived, they found that no one had come to the scene yet, only the staff and Heber were there.
Xia Jinning glanced at the time in surprise. Didn't they say they should arrive two hours before the game starts?
The game starts at 8 o'clock, but it's already 5:50 and there's no one at the venue!
Hebrew waved enthusiastically, "Hey, Chinese friends, hello!"
Xia Jinning asked hurriedly, "Isn't this the game venue? Why hasn't anyone arrived yet
?" Hebrew explained, "Because it's not time yet. The car will leave the hotel at 8 o'clock. You're early."
"You scared me. I thought there was some strange note in the room." Li Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Jinning
was not worried. Before returning to the manor, she asked Xiao Meili to check the room and made sure there was no problem before leaving.
While no one was coming, Hebrew did not stop them and simply walked off the stage with everyone else in plenty of time.
Although there was no lighting and sound system, it was not bad to be able to reserve a seat on the spot.
Chinese netizens found out in the live broadcast room that the Chinese team had not gotten on the bus or left the hotel, and they were almost going crazy.
One moment they were worried that they had practiced too much and had forgotten the time, the next moment they were worried that they would not have enough time for the game, and the next moment they called on the staff to look for the Chinese team... They said all kinds of things. Some fanned
the flames, some watched the excitement, some criticized the situation, it was really the world of all kinds of people.
Until the camera switched to the scene, as soon as the live broadcast machine was turned on, all the members of the Chinese team were seen practicing on the stage.
Judging from the situation, it seems that they have been practicing for quite some time, and they returned to calm in an instant.
However, netizens from other countries were not happy.
"Why can the Chinese team come to the stage earlier?"
"I suspect there is an inside story, a private deal!"
"It's not fair! Is the competition team bribed? How much money! My Great R Empire will give you three times!"
"Oh my, three times, they really have a good life."
The competition team is long-mouthed.
Hebrew came to the live camera with a smile, "We stipulate that you can arrive at the competition site two hours before the competition, and there is no rule that you must follow our bus.
So the behavior of the Chinese team is completely in line with the requirements. Before the audience and judges enter, contestants from all countries can use the stage at will."
After hearing the explanation, the netizens stopped talking and started to curse their own artists for being too simple and not as cunning as the Chinese.
When the bus came, artists from all countries came to the scene and saw the Chinese team on the stage walking on the stage. They also came to the stage to try out dance moves or start walking in the same style.
Xia Jinning looked at this stage and wished that there were 50 people standing on it. The number of people was getting more and more, so she just got off. Anyway, she had been waiting in line for nearly half an hour.
All the formations and positions have been determined.
As soon as they stepped off the stage, they ran into Team E who had just come in from the door. Atiana came over to greet them in a very familiar manner.
She said in English: "So you are already here. I didn't see you in the car just now. I asked the hotel front desk to contact you to see if you forgot the time. As a result, no one answered the room phone."
Xia Jinning smiled and replied: "We didn't stay in the hotel for the past three days. We just came directly to the scene."
"Are you going to perform Chinese Kung Fu this time? This is so cool!"
Atiana saw that Xia Jinning was not as cold as he appeared, and his tone of answer was also enthusiastic, so she became interested and wanted to chat more.
In the second round of performances, the Chinese team chose the sword as the performance prop. As the most popular cold weapon in ancient China, it is very suitable for performances abroad when matched with modern scenery and dance movements.
Xia Jinning casually made a sword flower and handed it to Atiana, "This is our country's willow leaf sword, not a dance prop, but it is not sharpened. Do you want to play with it?"
Atiana was delighted after receiving it. She wanted to come and take a look, but after all, it was a competition. She felt it was inappropriate to directly ask for the props that she would use on stage later...
Unexpectedly, Xia Jinning took the initiative to hand it over.
"Wow, it's so cool!" Everyone on Team E touched it and gestured.
"It turns out that everyone on you really knows Kung Fu!"
Because there were too many people on the stage, the artists from Team E did not plan to squeeze in to practice, and simply went to the lounge with Xia Jinning and others.
After arriving at the lounge, both teams were quite surprised. There was a staff member at the door, registering the order of going on stage.
"Choose for yourself"
"Yes, first come, first served."
Xia Jinning and Atiana clapped their hands in surprise, applauded and gave way.
In the end, Xia Jinning could not refuse Atiana's enthusiasm and made the choice first.
There were 15 teams in total, and Xia Jinning chose to be the sixth one to go on stage.
In general competitions, the first three or five people may be scored together after their performances. The sixth person to go on stage will not be suppressed in points, and the scoring standards will be relatively clear.
Atiana was the first to go on stage.
"We'll go on stage first now, let's see who else has the bad manners to splash water on the stage."
After saying that, she turned around and patted Xia Jinning on the shoulder, "Don't worry, if anyone else splashes water, we'll help you mop the floor! We're well prepared today!"
Xia Jinning said "hmm" in confusion, and then Atiana and several teammates behind her opened their bags at the same time, revealing the big bath towels inside... There
was even the hotel logo on it...
Xia Jinning laughed out loud and gave a thumbs up, "Great! We're not afraid anymore now."
Because Team E was the first to go on stage, they went to the entrance to prepare.
Song Haoyang went to the lounge and looked around, then came out and complained, "Why doesn't the lounge even have a live broadcast screen? I can't see anything."
Xia Jinning took out her mobile phone, "Let's watch the live broadcast!"
The lounge is public and shared by many teams. When it was close to eight o'clock, the audience entered and people gradually came back.
At eight o'clock, the competition officially began, and the judges also began to enter.
In addition to Maitya, who I met last time, there are also Kung Fu superstars Li Long from China's Y country, Miklos from Y country, and Chinami from R country.
These four are definitely the most important stars in the world. It is rare to see them all come here to serve as judges at the same time.
