Chapter 509 The Dark Side
Su on the judges table sneered. He thought what Du Kang sang was rubbish. The ghost guy Angelo Siliano on the side couldn't understand the lyrics, but he thought the contestant who sang in English in the previous song was good.
Three judges, Su sits in the middle, with Angelo Siliano on the left and a man wearing a white shirt and navy blue casual suit on the right.
From beginning to end, this man did not say anything, and Su did not communicate with him. Instead, she frequently talked and laughed with Angelo Siliano.
"Slut, it's so dark here, and you're wearing sunglasses." Chen Xi looked at Su in the distance and couldn't help but curse.
"Giggle, is that man blind? It's so dark here, and he even wears sunglasses to pretend to be cool." Saori also laughed.
“No clothes at all, wearing a white suit and such a tacky tie, I can’t even imitate Jackson.” Jin Nana also looked at it and shook her head.
But the crazy female fans around him didn’t think so. They thought Su was dressed very handsome today. Maybe even if he was wearing beggar clothes, those women would stick to him and lick him.
The three judges are also interesting. Angelo Siliano is wearing a gray shirt and black suit, Su is wearing all white, and the one on the right is navy blue. At first glance, he looks like an Oreo cookie.
"Xinyi, do you think your cousin will be successful this time? I see a lot of people cheering him on."
"Hey~"
Shen Xinyi sighed and shook her head.
"This kind of draft is just a show. The quotas have been predetermined. If your cousin doesn't seek connections and canvass for votes, then there will definitely be no chance. This is the same as our last election..." Li Xin suddenly interrupted, his eyes like Everyone glanced at Chen Xi vaguely, and everyone knew what he wanted to express.
Shen Xinyi said nothing and just rolled her eyes at him. Li Xin also felt bored and could only laugh twice.
"Oh, Li University tyrant, can you win the prize? How many people have you found to cheer him up?" Zhang Ruoxi next to her was venting her anger on her best friend.
"No, this boring draft competition will not bring any benefits to the winners. Instead, they have to spend money to buy a spot. I never do anything without substantial benefits, so I didn't help my brother buy tickets."
“You are really realistic.”
“What’s wrong with being realistic? Why spend time and money doing that? These useless things? This is not in line with my style of doing things." "So, are you also careful when choosing a partner? If the other person cannot bring you actual benefits, you will not do anything. Letting go hesitantly?" Zhang Ruoxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly with a trace of amusement, and her eyes moved between the two of them, asking Li Xin a death question.
Li Xin was slightly startled, then smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "This...actually, I am more inclined to find a partner who can support each other and grow together with us. If such a relationship If it can bring benefits to both parties, that will be the icing on the cake." He glanced at Shen Xinyi secretly, observing her reaction, trying to capture her thoughts and emotions.
"This kind of man is so scary. If you are no longer of use, he will kick you away. My scalp feels numb just thinking about it. You'd better be careful." Zhang Ruoxi muttered something in Shen Xinyi's ear.
"I don't understand what you mean, and I won't be nice to him." Shen Xinyi quietly communicated with her best friend.
"I am No. 03, Chocolate, and I will give you a hit song "Fist of Fury"."
"Get ready
All the outfits must be brought to roll call
br>
Prepare to take to the streets with me to parade Body
Today I want to prove
I can do any kind of dance..."
The exaggerated dance and murderous singing made the scene... The audience covered their ears.
“What the hell, the song is like killing a pig. ”
"How could such a person be selected? How bad are the people in the audition?"
"I think the singing is pretty good, come on! Chocolate."
"Are you afraid? It’s not that there’s something wrong with your ears, it’s still applauded, it must be because of trust. How much money did you charge, let me make a profit once.”
Chocolate must have paid for foreign aid, the singing is so unpleasant. Someone else shouted yes.
After being criticized for a few times, those guys had no words to cheer him on.
There was no way, this Chocolate's singing was really unpleasant, and the three judges almost threw things at him.
Chocolate also noticed the reaction of the audience, and immediately asked the backup dancers to change their tactics and start performing street dance. Fortunately, the subsequent dance was slightly better, and then he left the stage in a dignified manner.
“Is this the person you selected?” asked the man in a navy suit who was one of the judges.
"Why, do you have any opinions? You know, the people who had opinions have disappeared. You have to follow the rules of the game." Su sneered.
“You won’t get far like this, success or failure will depend on you.”
"I can't go far. You will see that the future music scene in China will be dominated by me."
"Haha, you really feel good about yourself."
The man looks like Hearing the biggest joke of the century, Su clutched his stomach and ignored the image issue, making Su's face turn pale.
At this time, Su had just signed a contract with Sony Music. Last year, he sang "Huajing Welcomes You" with the stars at the Olympics, which was very popular. He felt that he was young and an artist who had returned from overseas. Coupled with his talent, he completely overwhelmed all the singers in the mainland.
"I am Contestant No. 04, Li Ku! The song I brought here is "Drunk Tango 2001"." Li Ku came on stage, his mood was not very high, as if he knew the result.
Originally, he thought that his brother Li Xin could help attract some votes, but he was disappointed. No matter how good he sang, he would probably not be able to qualify.
However, disappointed, he still picked up the microphone and started performing.
Li Ku is wearing a small hat with a few feathers on it and a small jacket. He looks like a magician.
“Why did you say goodbye when I was drunk
Dance a drunken tango
The toes are at a loss
A chaotic and heartless tango
Good-bye to my girlfriend..."
Li Ku, who no longer cares about the outcome, becomes more and more involved in singing, but instead performs his best Much better than usual.
“This is your brother, he sings pretty well. By the way, why am I completely different from you as a brother? He has so many emotions. You're better off, like a robot. "Zhang Ruoxi started complaining again.
"I am very different now from before. I have fully developed the feelings you mentioned."
"You are all pretending, very blunt. Don't think I can't knock it off." Come out."
"Is it important to be true or not? As long as the effect is the same, I only care about the results."
"Boring man" Zhang Ruoxi was so embarrassed by him. A set of words made me lose the desire to continue the conversation.
"Keke, this friend of yours is really interesting. I found that no matter who comes on stage, the sign with Fang Lin's name will always be held up." Shazhi discovered a little secret, and she hurriedly talked to Chen Xi shared.
"They spent so much money and invited so many friends to help. Others must get things done. This shows that those people are dedicated." Chen Xi smiled and raised the sign in his hand.
"I am contestant No. 05, Wu Di, singing "How can you let me be sad"..."
When the last contestant finished his performance, the two hosts began to speak , the five players stood aside and waited.
"Next, we have to listen to our judges' suggestions for the first...our first contestant, um...Su, please..." The male host looked quite uncomfortable. Professional, stuttering to finish the sentence.
Su at the judges' table adjusted her clothes, and then took off the slut's sunglasses.
"Um... let me explain first that I am a good person and will not criticize any player excessively. I hope my suggestions can help you in the quarter-finals..." Su behaved very kindly and spoke well. The way Chen Xi looked was completely different from when he was quarreling before.
"Okay, let's listen to the advice of good people." The host wanted to relieve his stuttering just now, so he made a little joke.
The atmosphere at the scene was also invigorated by the host, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the venue.
"First contestant, your voice is great, very magnetic..." "Second contestant, I think you have a good sense of rhythm. You need to be confident when singing Rap. You performed very well and danced well. It's not bad, but it lacks a little bit, that is, arrogance and arrogance. The person who sings Rap is the King on the stage, and everyone in the audience is... Of course, I don't mean that. Anyway, the more you act, the more arrogant you are. Good..."
"Third place, I rarely admit that other boys are handsome, but you are indeed handsome..."
"Oh, this guy is almost said to be second only to me in handsomeness." Jin Nana teased .
“Fourth place, you are dressed very uniquely today. You are the only one wearing a hat on the scene. Your vest and hat look great, and you interact a lot with the camera. This is something that others need to learn from. . You sing very passionately and with great appeal..."
"Fifth place, your name is the same as my good friend, I feel very friendly..."
Su said all words of praise, which made the players in the first group smile, but None of the remaining two main judges spoke, and everyone was a little confused for a while.
"Thank you Su for your comment."
"But after listening for a long time, we still didn't understand. Who has the chance to directly advance? Please tell us the specific results..."
Two abbots People sang and said in harmony.
At the judges' table, the three people began to whisper to each other.
“Give us some time, we need to write down our decision, I reiterate that our game is absolutely fair, there is no shady secret!”
"Oh, there's no shady story!" Chen Xi in the audience mocked in a sinister manner.
Two minutes later, Su picked up the microphone again and said: "The three of us just discussed it and decided to cancel the direct promotion rule because we want to see the strength of the next few groups, which will be more fair. ..."
"So, no one in this group can advance directly."
"Yes"
With the host's confirmation, Su. nodded.
In fact, this temporary change in the rules was due to the lack of two main judges and some shameful things, so the promotion was cancelled.
Huaguo, a TV station in Hunan Province.
“Why was the promotion suddenly cancelled?”
“This will make the competition more fair, otherwise someone will inevitably point fingers and jump out to cause trouble.”
"I've promised someone else to escort his son, what do you want me to do now?"
"Let me tell you, there are too many of you who are collecting benefits privately, and the quotas are not enough, so we reshuffled the cards. There are more quotas sold than promotion quotas. I really don't understand what you are thinking. Do you think you are very capable?"< br>
“I heard that there was a big boss in the entertainment industry who wanted to promote his apprentice, so he made temporary adjustments, right?”
In the conference room of the TV station, Happy Male Program The leaders of the group were all noisy and blushing.
"Boss, who is not a boss? Everyone spends money to let their children advance. In order not to offend anyone, it is best to cancel the recommendation. Next, it depends on their own financial ability. . Whoever buys more votes has a closer relationship with the judges. Soon, whoever will be promoted will be promoted. Anyway, we have already received the benefits..."
"I don't care, anyway, I paid for this show. My son must be promoted, and his ranking cannot be low. "A middle-aged woman dressed elegantly said.
Everyone was quiet for a while. They didn't object, so they agreed.
In another office.
“Do you know why we have an overseas special show? Because those international students’ families are rich, and they are a bunch of brats who think they are right and dream of being stars every day. Anyway, these people will not reach the global finals, and we can still get a sum of money. Considerable income, why not?”
“Not only that, we can also squeeze more money out of them in the future, don’t they have star dreams? Then let’s fool them. Next, package them and open a studio for them. With their little strength and playful nature, they will probably quit within a year. We will fool them into doing other things..."
" When the time comes, we can package those so-called champions and create countless stars in a few years. These people are all from our programs. They will be obedient in the future and become our money-making tools..."
Several middle-aged uncles were holding cigars in their mouths, with excited expressions on their faces, which was in sharp contrast to the frowning people in the conference room.
The group of people in the conference room are just clowns in the eyes of a few people. They are also complacent about receiving some benefit fees, but they don't know that the real big winner is here.
Happy Male Australian audition venue.
"The second group is invited to appear!"
"Hello everyone, I am James, the player No. 06, and my Chinese name is James." When the first player walked onto the stage, he That unique self-introduction immediately aroused surprise and discussion among the audience.
"Why are there still ghost guys?"
"James, James? Haha, isn't that the same?"
"What kind of name is this for a Chinese country? This ghost guy is just here to make fun of me."
“Haha, this foreigner is here to tease us!”
The audience couldn’t help but laugh at the self-introduction of this foreign player. Even Saori and Jin Nana couldn’t help it. Laugh out loud. Although they also took Chinese names, most of them were based on homophony or similar pronunciation, maintaining a certain connection with their original names.
This ghost guy is really interesting. He directly translated it from English and used it as his Chinese name.
"The sky is blue waiting for the smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you
The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river
The Han Dynasty writing on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty
……”
However, when the melody of "Blue and White Porcelain" slowly sounded on the stage, James' fluent Mandarin immediately attracted everyone's attention. His pronunciation standard was even more standardized than that of some players from Guangdong Province, which made the audience applaud.
Chinese people always feel particularly proud and satisfied when foreigners sing the Chinese national anthem and praise Chinese food.
This is not only because this performance reflects the charm of Chinese culture, but also because it satisfies people's inner desire for cultural confidence.
They feel that since foreigners are learning from China, it must be the best in the world. This may also be caused by our lack of self-confidence over the years.
After all, we have lagged too far behind foreign countries for a long time. Many people have an inferiority complex in their hearts. Suddenly being recognized by foreigners is an indescribable feeling.
"Okay, okay! You can sing better than me."
"I'm not as good as a ghost guy. Is he a Chinese, or am I a Chinese?"
Some people in the audience People begin to doubt life. James' standard Mandarin and singing skills have surpassed most international students.
Although compared to other players, he may be the weakest so far, but the support on site is the highest.
“This ghost guy is really interesting. I don’t know where I learned this Chinese Mandarin.” Zhang Ruoxi said with her chin in one hand.
"Many people in the university have majored in Chinese and Mandarin. Now the country is developing well, and there are so many Chinese in Tu and Macao. If they master Chinese and Mandarin, their future employment opportunities will be much greater than others, and they will be sent to After opening a domestic branch, the salary is better than that of Tu'ao is even higher. These ghost guys are not stupid. They will firmly grasp the opportunity to make money. Although some people have poor abilities, they can speak some Chinese, which allows them to become a branch of Hua Guo in no time. In the position of boss..." Li Xin explained from the side.
“Humph, you know better.” Zhang Ruoxi snorted coldly after hearing this.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommended votes
