Chapter 5 How dare he?
Eight o'clock in the evening.
With a gesture from the on-site director, the live shooting officially began.
"Welcome to watch the large-scale talent show "The Birth of a Group" sponsored by Penguin Live. I am the host tonight..."
After a passionate introduction by the host, the stage lights dimmed, and then the spotlights came on, and the mentors appeared amid the screams of the audience.
The first mentor to appear was Guo Jiahe, the captain of the hottest boy band Super July M. He debuted as a trainee and is a super popular singing and dancing idol. His appearance alone set off the scene, and the live broadcast room was instantly filled with barrages of comments.
"My Jiahe is the most handsome. His silver hair really impresses me. I want to lick the screen!"
"Emma, my brother's long legs are longer than my life!"
"Jia He is definitely the most handsome guy on this show. There is no one more handsome than him!"
…
The second male mentor to appear was Wang Cong. He had released several mediocre albums in the five years since his debut. This year, he opened a music company and planned to transition behind the scenes.
What really makes the public familiar with him is not his music, but his identity as a super rich second-generation. If he can't make it in the music industry, he will inherit tens of billions of assets.
The main reason why the program team invited him was because they were attracted by his sharp tongue. As long as there are people or things he doesn't like on Weibo, he will directly criticize them without mercy. This straightforward personality will add a lot of appeal to the program.
He wore a floral shirt and sunglasses today, looking uninhibited. His popularity at the scene and in the live broadcast room after his appearance was no less than that of Guo Jiahe.
"Husband Congcong, you are so handsome, I love you so much!"
"If you don't mind, I will take you as my foster father!"
…
The third and fourth mentors were both female, one was Shen Fei, the lead singer of a very popular band, and the other was Zhao Weiwei, one of the members of a top duo in the music industry.
The program team invited them not only for popularity, but also because only the group can understand the group better.
A cool and aloof queen, a sweet princess, two very different and charming women entered the venue hand in hand, causing the place to explode.
"Sister Fei is so cool, I love her!"
"I was wondering why my blood sugar suddenly went up. Turns out it was because I saw Weiwei!"
"Two beauties in one dream, I will never miss this show!"
…
Amid the screams of the audience, the last heavyweight mentor came on stage, the Chinese pop music superstar Dong Dehua.
The identity of the last mentor before the show started was still a smokescreen. The audience did not expect that a superstar would come to participate. This undoubtedly added a layer of gilding to the show.
Dong Dehua, whose fans span three generations, although nearly 50 years old, still ignited the scene with his strong aura and ageless looks, and the screams were deafening.
The four mentors who had just come on stage all stood up from their seats to greet them, with fanatical looks in their eyes.
"Brother Hua, I grew up listening to your songs!"
"Brother Hua, you are still so young. The scene of you riding a motorcycle with a nosebleed really mesmerized me!"
…
After Dong Dehua sat in the C-position mentor seat and made brief speeches with the other four mentors, the stage recording officially began.
Accompanied by an inspiring background music, the backstage contestants came on stage one by one. After briefly waving to the audience in the center of the stage, they went to their chosen seats and sat down.
Since there are no restrictions on combinations, there are opposite-sex combinations, same-sex combinations, and even group combinations. The visual effect of the stage with uneven number of people sitting is not that good.
In a blink of an eye, most of the contestants had already gone on stage. Lin Zhixing and Song Ge also moved from the end of the line to behind the curtain. Looking around, they could see the entire stage.
"Don't even look at the pigeons, you can recite it backwards!"
Lin Zhixing took the wrinkled lyrics from Song Ge's hand and said, "You have participated in many competitions, big and small, and you have no lack of stage experience. Why are you still so nervous?"
Song Ge blew the sweat off his hands and shook his head, "No...it's different. This is to help you."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize you're quite good at flattering..."
Lin Zhixing was laughing secretly when he glanced at the stage and said, "Oh my god!"
He clearly saw that the seats in the first row were empty, with no combination to choose from. Even the combinations that chose the second row were very few, with most people sitting together in the third and fourth rows.
Wow, you are all so humble?
…
Judges' seat.
"Too cowardly, too cowardly, are they participating in the competition just to compete for second place?"
Mentor Wang Cong slammed his sunglasses on the table and looked at the contestants who had already entered the venue, feeling very dissatisfied.
Mentor Zhao Weiwei also hugged her shoulders and echoed: "That's right, they have no confidence at all. If any group dares to sit in the first row, I will give them a high score at my discretion!"
…
Backstage screening room.
Chief Director Ji Lei looked at the empty first row, frowning more and more. He suddenly picked up the intercom and said, "The first group to sit in the first row must be given enough shots!"
"receive!"
After the photographer responded, he put down the walkie-talkie and looked towards the entrance.
After the previous group was seated, the big screen in the center of the stage flashed, and the information of the group that was about to perform appeared on the screen.
【No. 58】
[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]
[Declaration of participation: Strength is not innate, it can grow! ]
At the same time, Lin Zhixing and Song Ge waved and walked out from behind the scenes. Both of them were wearing leather jackets and jeans. The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman was very eye-catching, and they gave people a dazzling feeling as soon as they appeared.
"Wow, this girl is so pretty, she has the face of a first love on campus!"
"Boys are handsome, okay? His looks are comparable to Jiahe's, but his clothing taste is not that good. There are sequins on his jacket, which looks so tacky. Is he a rapper?"
The audience's curiosity was aroused as they watched the two people about to walk to the contestant seats.
Where would they sit? Since the first row of seats was sunken a little below the stage, they needed to go down a step from the second row, so Lin Zhixing and Song Ge went to the second row aisle first.
Are you choosing the second row again?
The audience was a little disappointed. They were eager to see the first row seats being snapped up, and a game without competition would be too boring.
While Lin Zhixing was waiting for Song Ge to leave, he accidentally glanced at the second row and saw his ex-girlfriend Li Zhenzhen and her new lover, who were also looking at him.
Eyes meet...
Although Li Zhenzhen didn't say anything, her disgusted look seemed to be saying - what class do you have to sit in the same row with me? Lin Zhixing curled his lips.
You misunderstood. I don't want to sit in the same row with you. I'm here to get first place.
As the buttocks fit the seats, the C position above all other seats finally welcomed the first group of contestants who thought they were the strongest.
"Quick, give them a long shot!"
Chief Director Ji Lei's frown finally relaxed, and he urged with the radio.
Zhang Long glanced at the host seat that had not moved for a long time, feeling complicated. Originally, this opportunity to show his face should have been his, but it was his girlfriend who told him to keep a low profile, so he chose the second row.
"Did he choose the first row on purpose because he was angry with you and saw that you were sitting in the second row?" Zhang Long looked at Lin Zhixing, who was looking smug in the front row, pursed his lips and turned to ask.
Li Zhenzhen's eyes were full of fire. "I don't understand. How dare he do that?"
Front row: I really like Phoenix Legend. The comments from the mentors and netizens are just for the plot. Thank you for your understanding and support.
