After Lin Xiaoxiao accepted reality with a heavy heart, she discovered that she was currently filming a talent show featuring black-clad men in masks and genitals—no, it was "Hidden Light Boys and Girls 101."
Although, life goes on. She won't contribute a single penny after that. She'll just wait for "Island Survival" to finish airing so she can ask her brother for money to reimburse her.
Looking at the seven or eight men in black on stage, accompanied by sweet little songs.
"Love you~ A smile is no big deal..."
Each person wore a pure black facekini with only a number on it, completely obscuring their expression.
Lin Xiaoxiao really felt it was torture. They had only recorded one episode and only twenty people had been eliminated. There were still more than eighty people left!
As the song ended, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even need to think; she immediately spotted the least synchronized dancer among the men in black and eliminated him.
Sheng Yiyi and Zhang Nan, who were standing to the side, said some polite words.
"Everyone, the first group to perform is coming up. The performance was already very good. Give yourselves a round of applause. I especially want to praise numbers 3, 89, and 74. These three performers have excellent breath control in both their dancing and singing. Their bodies are flexible and their movements are rhythmic. They are very eye-catching at first glance."
After hearing Sheng Yiyi's comments, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. "Sister, are you trying to be abstract? A whole stage of people in black, how can you say they're grabbing attention?! What are they using to grab attention?! Their plain, unadorned black outfits that don't even reflect light? Or their facekinis with only three holes and numbers on them?"
Of course, Zhang Nan's remarks made Lin Xiaoxiao realize that the artists in their company were truly hidden talents.
"I don't know how you ten people chose the center position..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "You little rascal, did you watch some variety show mentor's secret manual? Why didn't you share it with your boss? You two are secretly playing ranked games here."
"Number 7, you lack strength and energy, which is clearly not a good match for this song. It's not that boys can't dance to sweet songs; Number 9 did a great job in the last round. Number 7, your voice needs to be a bit hoarser, and your vocal placement should be lower and deeper. You are obviously more suited to other more lyrical songs. I don't know if you chose this song yourself."
In response, number 7 said, "I chose this song myself, and I hope to bring a different experience to the audience."
Zhang Nan continued his scathing critique in an organized manner, while Lin Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, felt she was missing some sunflower seeds. Wasn't Zhang Nan a computer science major? This sounded quite impressive.
Fortunately, the staff behind the scenes controlled the time, so they quickly moved on to the next group.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw contestants number 59 and 60 come up, she immediately sat up. These two had left a deep impression on her. Their first performance was a Yangko dance, which stood out among the group of fresh and innocent performers. It was like a suona suddenly being mixed into a group of Western instruments, which was very cheerful.
Seeing the two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, with waist drums tied around their waists, she felt amused. After listening to too many elegant, sentimental, and sweet songs, she wanted to hear something down-to-earth.
Number 59 started with an extremely long shout, instantly transporting the audience to the vast, boundless land, surrounded by golden wheat fields, where the wind carried the scent of earth and sunshine—a feeling that instantly soothes the soul.
"Flowers bloom in the first month of the lunar calendar..."
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but grin along with the song. The two were clearly wearing black clothes and their faces were not visible. They didn't have any stage costumes, but they were still very easy to get infected by the cheerful atmosphere.
As expected, apart from Lin Xiaoxiao, the other two judges did not give her a light, so they entered the waiting area.
“I really enjoyed your performance, but our show is called ‘Hidden Light Boys and Girls 101,’ and your voices don’t quite fit our show. So, I didn’t give you a light.”
Lin Xiaoxiao took the microphone at the right time, "I think your performance was very good. Since our program allows anyone over 18 to participate, then you two are a perfect fit for our program. No matter how old you are, you are still young people. I support you."
With Lin Xiaoxiao's strong support, contestants No. 59 and No. 60 successfully advanced to the next round.
Lin Xiaoxiao certainly wouldn't choose those voices that sounded young and pretty, because she had to lay the groundwork for losing money later. Although the money-losing task was no longer needed, she couldn't go against her original intention.
Those young, beautiful, and handsome people still have a place to go after being eliminated from the show. But the ordinary people who mustered up the courage to participate for the prize money need encouragement even more. After all, if there had been such a "money-giving" show before she transmigrated, she would have participated even without any shame.
After successfully advancing, contestants No. 59 and No. 60 hugged and cried backstage.
"Sister, we did it! Director Lin loved our performance!"
When Lin Xiaoxiao stepped into the live broadcast room for the third time, the assistant director backstage told her that the number of people watching the live broadcast room had reached more than 30 million, and their program had become a hit!
Lin Xiaoxiao was calm at this moment. After all, she had experienced many setbacks, and these were just minor itch and pain. As a rich second-generation who was about to go home and lie down, she couldn't get angry over such a small thing. It would be bad for her health and not conducive to her long-term development.
"What happened?"
The excited assistant director, upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's calm tone, realized that she was now an employee of Feiyang Entertainment. This number of people was probably just a small matter for Feiyang Entertainment, so she gradually calmed down.
"After 'Survival on an Island' was released, with official promotion and recommendations from several naval colonels, Feiyang Film and Television platform suddenly saw a surge of people. After watching the latest episodes, everyone followed Zhang Nan and found 'Hidden Light Boys and Girls 101.' Our talent show is broadcast live the entire time, with one episode per week, eliminating twenty people each episode, and everyone is masked throughout, creating a high level of mystery."
