During this day, Gong Bingye contacted influential musicians in the circle. His status in the circle was well known to everyone. Many popular musicians did not need to sign contracts. For his sake, they were willing to postpone their schedules and help him out of friendship.
In this complex world, what you earn is not only money, but also relationships. Although they said so, they knew in their hearts that Gong Bingye could not really not give them a penny.
Besides, how could such a huge family like the Gong family not be able to come up with such a mere tens of millions?!
There were many musicians who were willing to help, and in the end he chose four popular singers who were popular, low-key, and had no scandals.
Another singer who came willingly to help was Zhu Ling. If Tong Shuyue was not still participating in the competition, he would have chosen Zhu Ling, because Zhu Ling's music was really good, she was beautiful, and very popular. Unfortunately, she had an unpromising cousin who brought shame on her.
Finally, he chose Zhichen, a popular male singer from Jiashi Entertainment.
The four judges were quickly confirmed, and the latest one would arrive in the early morning of the next day to catch up with the recording of the show.
Gong Bingye had just finished these trivial matters. He threw away his phone and lay down on the sofa. Just as he felt sleepy, the housekeeper came into the living room and respectfully reported: "Your Highness, the eldest son of the Gong family is here."
Gong Bingye turned over and said impatiently, "No."

Ji Zhong and the others slept for almost a whole day. After dinner in the evening, the four of them began to rehearse. Before the rehearsal, Ji Zhong called Xia Xingchen and asked her if she could come over to rehearse with them, but Xia Xingchen refused.
At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Ji Zhong drove his car and pulled the musical instruments to pick up Xia Xingchen from the apartment.
On the way, Xia Xingchen asked, "How was your practice yesterday?"
Peng Zhuo said confidently: "Excellent!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xia Xingchen and said worriedly, "Xiao Xingxing, when we were rehearsing yesterday, we overturned the song we had prepared before, and we revised it urgently last night. The melody is fluctuating. I don't know if you can keep up."
Xia Xingchen: "Don't worry, I can keep up."
Xiao Wenyan, who was sitting in the same row with Xia Xingchen, asked suspiciously, "Xiao Xingchen, you haven't even seen the song yet, are you so sure you can keep up with us?"
Xia Xingchen was wearing a black baseball cap. She didn't say anything, nor did she look at Xiao and Peng Zhuo. Her pink lips were slightly raised in confidence.
Twenty minutes later, the five of them arrived at the studio together.
All the contestants were very nervous, not knowing who the new judges would be and whether their evaluation angles would be tricky. They had just gotten used to the evaluation styles of the first four judges, and suddenly, they were replaced again. It was really unpredictable.
Although Xia Xingchen didn't know why Gong Xia suddenly changed the judges, she knew that things were not that simple.
The commercial interests involved here are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The third round is a solo competition. The contestants who advance will compete in the next round, while the contestants without strength will be eliminated directly.
This round is actually a competition between yourself. After each contestant finishes his performance, the judges will directly raise a card. If you raise a pass card, you will enter the next round. If you do not raise a pass card, you will be eliminated directly.
The rules of the competition are becoming more and more cruel!
The contestants at the front will still put on makeup first and then prepare for the program recording.
Vic's band is still in the back.
During the competition, the top contestants were still very cautious when facing the new judges, even though they were all handsome men and beautiful women.
Only Tong Shuyue had a confident smile on her face.
Perhaps most of their attention was focused on the judges, which resulted in them not fully committing to the performance. As a result, more than a dozen contestants were eliminated directly after their performance.
When the competition was one-third over, the eldest son of the Gong family suddenly showed up. Although Gong Bingyu had a face that looked unapproachable to strangers, he was extremely wealthy. As soon as he showed up, his aura was fully on display, attracting all the female contestants backstage.
He stood in the middle of the backstage, looking around with an arrogant expression and sharp eyes. His gait was upright, giving people a feeling of arrogance.
He looked through the crowd but didn't find the person he was looking for, but he saw Xia Xingkong.
He had only met Xia Xingkong once, but Xia Xingkong's bravery and charm left a deep impression on him.
At that time, Xia Xingkong seemed to have seen him as well, and Gong Bingyu smiled at her without any concealment. Out of politeness, Xia Xingkong responded to him, and then Gong Bingyu continued to search for the person she was looking for in the crowd.
Finally, in a back corner, he saw a girl wearing a black baseball cap, a pair of light gray overalls of moderate width, a black off-shoulder dress that revealed her smooth and round shoulders, and a silver necklace as an embellishment.
Xia Xingchen is so inconspicuous among so many contestants, but she is very unique. She has a beauty that radiates from the inside out, quietly attracting Gong Bingyu to slowly approach her.
These past two days, he had been busy dealing with the scandals involving the female artists in his company, and had almost forgotten about the little beauty Xia Xingchen.
Xia Xingkong was right. If she really came to participate in this competition, as long as she came, it would be like walking into a trap.
At this moment, all that emerged in Gong Bingyu's mind were dirty images, and the more he thought about them, the more excited he became.
He took a few steps in the direction of Xia Xingchen, and with the gazes of the other contestants, Ji Zhong and Xiao felt the pressure.
Xiao whispered in Ji Zhong's ear, "Is he the eldest son of the Gong family? What is he doing here?"
Ji Zhong stared at Gong Bingyu intently, "From the looks of him, he seems to be up to no good. You'd better be careful."
Soon, Gong Bingyu came in front of Ji Zhong and Xiao. Seeing that Xia Xingchen was right behind them, Gong Bingyu wanted to go around them to find Xia Xingchen. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step to the side, he was blocked by Ji Zhong.
Gong Bingyu was very annoyed. He bared his teeth and asked, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Yoshizhong didn't answer him directly, but played dumb. "I don't want to know who you are. If you want to leave here, please turn around. Goodbye, I won't see you off."
When Gong Bingyu came towards them with a fierce look on his face, Ji Zhong felt that he had bad intentions. He knew that Gong Bingyu was most likely here to look for Xia Xingchen. As expected, what you fear will come true...
"Why are you pretending to be so smart? Get out of here, I'm going to find my beauty." Gong Bingyu puffed out his beard and glared, making his already unfriendly face look even more terrifying.
Gong Bingyu had his back to everyone. They could only see Gong Bingyu's back but not the terrifying look on his face.
"The beauty you are looking for is not here. Go away quickly and don't force me to kick you out!" Xiao took a step forward bravely and raised his chin pretending to be calm.
If he didn't know that the person standing in front of him might very well be his future financial sponsor, he might not be afraid!
Gong Bingyu glanced at Xiao, who had dyed his hair red. He chuckled and said contemptuously, "Wow! You dare to attack me when you haven't even grown all your hair yet? I think you... are really tired of living!"
