Chapter 599: Substituting
After the farce ended without causing any trouble, the Xiahua audience and the more than 200 Xiahua artists waiting backstage were all worried for An Zhixia.
Immediately, their admiration and blind trust for her became stronger than ever!
Everything Teacher Xiao An said over the years was fulfilled.
She will definitely win!
Is there anything else that Teacher Xiao An can’t handle?
"It seems that our 'Star Project' is full of highlights, audience friends should not miss it!
After the judges were introduced, the next was the 2,759 outstanding artists who had emerged from 286 countries through layers of screening to participate in our first international large-scale artist incubation project 'Star Plan'!
They have been waiting backstage for too long, now it’s time to invite them to the stage!"
After the host finished speaking, the huge stage darkened and music with distinctive national characteristics began to play.
"These are the sixteen artists from Country A..."
Sixteen boys and girls dressed in gorgeous clothes came bouncing to the rhythm. Several large screens in the venue quickly scanned each of them.
The youthful vigor and passion for pursuing dreams rippled out from the stage and reached the hearts of every audience member.
Each country temporarily formed a team. After appearing one by one, they drew their own number plate from a huge cardboard box and then lined up in the small square in front of the stage.
A queue of two thousand people is quite large!
Each of them is a leader in the entertainment industry in their respective countries. After months of fighting, they have the opportunity to stand here and get half a second of footage.
And this will be another starting point of their fight, and whoever will be chosen as the champion, the audience will feel that the next six months are really worth looking forward to when they think about it!
The audience discovered that there were many familiar faces among them.
There are not only 18th-tier artists, but also third- and fourth-tier celebrities. It seems that many artists use this column as a stepping stone. As long as they perform well, get more shots, and leave a deep impression on the audience, even if they can't make it into the top ten, they can still attract traffic for themselves and get good resources.
After all the artists made their debut, there followed ten high-quality programs presented by top international celebrities, four of whom were judges. The atmosphere on the scene was once again pushed to a new high.
"Students, are the seniors' performances very enjoyable?"
They were very close to the stage and were the ones who felt it the most. They all had the same dream of being on stage, and at this moment they all screamed at the top of their lungs: "Yes, it's so exciting, so exciting!"
"One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. We, the predecessors, have paid too much for today's achievements. Now, the 'Star Project' gives you a chance to make the leap.
You will receive the most rigorous, professional and comprehensive training in the next six months, and the elimination mechanism is also extremely harsh. However, I want to tell you that as long as you grit your teeth and get through it, you will definitely gain a lot.
If you can hold on to the end, then a new chapter in your life will begin.
The opening ceremony of the next 'Star Project' will be when you stand on this stage, grabbing the attention of more than 20,000 audience members on site, as well as the attention of tens of millions of viewers watching the live broadcast on TV! "
The students were in high spirits, and they were already imagining the next time they would be the seniors, following the host's words. This honor was too tempting.
Next, the program team announced various competition rules, awards, etc.
After the opening ceremony, which lasted nearly three hours, the students moved into a 100-story building that had just been renovated.
The 50th floor is used as a place for students to eat, sleep and entertain, while the other 50 floors are training rooms, recording studios, broadcasting halls and other workrooms.
With An Zhixia's investment of 800 million M funds, the students' living quarters were decorated like a youth hostel, which is simple, warm and inexpensive.
The staff first led everyone to the studio with a maximum capacity of 4,000 people and divided them into groups according to the judges' responsibility system. The rules were also very simple. The judges each drew 459 students from the box.
The six judges smiled and gave way to each other, following the principle of ladies first, allowing An Zhixia and Miranda to draw first.
"Okay, students, your number plates have now been distributed to the six judges. We will call out the votes one by one later. Remember your judges and go to the meeting rooms upstairs with the judges' names on them to wait for accommodation arrangements."
The students immediately became nervous after hearing this, and they all prayed that they would be assigned to a judge they liked and who was capable. It can be said that except for most of the Xiahua artists, the rest of the students were afraid of being assigned to An Zhixia.
So, when Miranda read out the number plates, the students whose numbers were called screamed with joy, attracting the envious and jealous looks of their peers around them.
But when it came to An Zhixia, whoever was called out would whimper softly, walk up to An Zhixia listlessly, bow to her and leave.
The people around him gloated and said, "Good luck to you, man!"
Because we were just reading out the number plates, the process went very quickly and before long, all the students had assigned themselves to a team.
An Zhixia went to the editing room with a cup of water and took a look at the situation in the meeting room she was in charge of.
She discovered an interesting phenomenon: almost 90% of Xiahua artists were concentrated in her large class.
"What's going on?" An Zhixia tilted her head and asked Ban Lei who came with her.
It’s not like the future when everyone has a mobile phone and information is easily accessible.
Each judge has his own small team to help him manage the academy.
Ban Lei said helplessly and amusedly: "What else could it be? Those foreign students didn't believe in Teacher Xiao An's ability, and they hadn't registered yet, so they secretly exchanged their number plates with Artist Xia Hua.
They really have no vision.”
An Zhixia nodded, her lips curled slightly: "It just so happens that there are many Xiahua artists in my class, and there will be many Xiahua artists who can make it into the top 100 or top 50 in the future."
She did not leave in a hurry, but waited for a while. She saw that the other five judges were very considerate and asked the students to register their names and number tags and go directly to eat. They would know the dormitory allocation when they came back.
"Ms. An Zhixia, aren't you going to the meeting?" The editor-in-chief frowned and asked disapprovingly, "You Xia people really like to follow the rules when doing things. What is this called? Is it the new official's three fires when he takes office?
This is not the case in foreign countries. Students and judges are equal in status. In other words, the judges serve to select top students. It is not the superior-subordinate relationship that Ms. An Zhixia believes."
The audience also nodded vigorously, feeling indignant on behalf of the anxiously waiting students.
An Zhixia smiled and pointed at the cafeteria, "We have four large cafeterias in total, which can serve two thousand diners at the same time."
