I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 510 This is the rule of the game

"Why is it that Su is the only one talking all the time? The other two judges are silent? Who are the other two judges?" Zhang Ruoxi asked loudly.

Li Xin and Shen Xinyi both shook their heads silently. They were not from the entertainment industry and did not understand the identities of these people.

Chen Xi participated in a talent show in his previous life, so he knew the identities of Su and Angelo Siliano, but he didn't know the identities of the other person.

But he also felt that the man seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"How come you don't know?"

"Well, that Su is a singer from mainland China, and he was selected through a talent show. As for that foreign guy Angelo Siliano, he is a famous opera actor and singer in Mexico. Folk and rock are his specialties..." Chen Xi explained casually.

"Wow, Chen Xi, you actually still pay attention to the Australian entertainment industry."

"I heard it from others when I came here before."

After finding an excuse to avoid it, Chen Xi continued to look at the man in the navy blue suit.

He and Su seemed to have started some kind of argument, and the foreigner kept shaking his head and spreading his hands. The two of them should have been speaking Mandarin, and Angelo Siliano certainly couldn't understand, so he could only make that helpless gesture.

"It doesn't matter if we give that foreign guy a good ranking. We can just kick him out later. This will give face to the Australians and show that we Chinese are generous and hospitable."

"He's the worst here. We can't make an exception and let him advance just because he's a foreigner singing a Chinese song. That would be unfair to the other contestants. How would others view us judges?"

"You're so pedantic. The entertainment industry doesn't rely on your ability. Have you been in Australia for too long? Are you a little dull in your work?"

"Okay, Su, Lee, stop arguing, I don't understand what you are talking about at all." Angelo Siliano interrupted with a red face, stopping the two from arguing.

"Humph~"

"Humph!"

The two men snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

"I'm No. 07, Zhou Shuo, and I'm going to sing you a song called 'The Rain Keeps Falling.'" After the white guy James left the stage, a mature-looking boy came up, causing quite a stir for a while.

Because this boy looks very much like the Hong Kong artist - Yam Tai-wah.

"Oh my god, this is so similar."

"Same hairstyle too! Is he Ren Dahua's son?"

"Didn't you hear him say his last name was Zhou?"

"Maybe it's the mother's last name..."

Chen Xi listened to the discussions of people around him and laughed, covering his mouth.

He didn't think the boy looked like Ren Dahua, but rather a combination of two artists, Ren Dahua and Zhang Zhaohui (the actor who played Yang Xiao in Wu Qihua's version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber).

This boy looks really precocious. He looks like he is forty years old. Coupled with his rough voice in the song "The Rain Keeps Falling", he looks like a real old man.

"Hello everyone, I am contestant No. 08, Wang Zheng, and I am singing "In Love"..."

"Hello everyone, I am contestant No. 09 Yu Shi, and the song I'm going to sing is "It's not easy to be me" by Paul L. Smith..." As the first singer to use a musical instrument in this performance, Yu Shi directly had someone bring in a grand piano, which scared the other contestants.

"Why does this person look somewhat similar to Su?"

"The hairstyles all seem to be the same..."

"It can't be some fanatical fan imitating it."

Someone noticed No. 09's dress and appearance. He was dressed in white like Su, but he wore a small vest. If he wore sunglasses, it would be difficult to distinguish him.

"This can't be your half-brother, haha." Lee said jokingly.

Surprisingly, Su did not argue with him, but just stared at the stage.

After a long while, Su sighed softly. Originally, he would have given Yu Shi a chance to advance, but now it was all gone.

"I'm No. 10, Wang Feng..." A boy holding a guitar came on stage. He seemed to be inspired by Yu Shi's performance just now. The rest of the contestants asked people to prepare their instruments.

After the performance of No. 10, it was time for the second group to be evaluated.

This time the host let Angelo Siliano speak first, and he praised James right away. White people usually don't pay much attention to avoiding suspicion, so as the only white contestant at the scene, Angelo Siliano gave high praise directly. However, he just brushed off the other contestants with a single word: "Not bad."

This action made many Chinese audiences feel a little uncomfortable.

Su seemed to have noticed the problem and immediately picked up the microphone to add to the discussion. He commented on each contestant, but not as seriously and in detail as in the first round.

It may be because the performance of the second group is really not comparable to that of the first group, and there is almost no player who can play well.

After the second group was over, many people got up to go to the bathroom. After all, after watching the talent show for so long, everyone has to go to the bathroom.

lounge.

"I see. The previous quota is invalid. What about Fang Lin? Oh..." Su paced back and forth with his phone in hand. The person on the other end of the line was the person in charge of the domestic program team.

"I've already made arrangements with China, so don't worry about that. You just need to make a few small adjustments." After Su put down his phone, a man sitting on the sofa spoke.

"I know, but his performance cannot be too bad."

"Don't worry, he is my favorite disciple just like you."

"It seems that his name is not on the list. If one person is added, wouldn't it become 21 to choose 3? This is not easy to fool..." Su frowned as he flipped through the list in his hand.

"Indeed, there isn't one, but it will be soon, and the number of people will not change."

"What do you mean?"

"Because some people will be absent, for such players who have no sense of time, shouldn't their places be cancelled and replaced by others?"

The man smiled mysteriously, as if everything was in his plan.

In the bathroom, Chen Xi was running the toilet.

"Who do you think will win this time?"

"Needless to say, whoever has the most cards at the scene will win the championship."

"Are you referring to Fang Lin? I don't even know who he is." "I heard that Monash was a very cool guy in high school. He even let his girlfriend masturbate in front of a bunch of people through a video."

"Wow, if only I had met him earlier. Where can I find such a nice guy?"

"Hahahaha, you old pervert."

"You don't want to watch it, so who do you think will win the second and third place?"

"The two contestants from Mo University."

"Who?"

"That Michael, and another one's name... something cool or handsome, I forgot. Look at how these people's parents named them, there are already two with the word cool in their names, they really care about their children's image."

The two boys were chatting while peeing. After Chen Xi finished peeing, he shook himself and left.

It seems that everyone is optimistic about Fang Lin, and they all understand that this talent show does not rely on one's own strength.

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head gently. His eyes inadvertently swept across a corner of the venue and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. However, just as he was about to confirm further, the figure quickly disappeared like a phantom. He thought to himself that it might be his eyes that were blurry, so he did not investigate further and then walked back to his seat calmly.

Now it was the third group's turn to go on stage, but the host was slow to announce the start, which made many people wait impatiently.

"Are you kidding me? He made so many people wait for him and his phone couldn't get through. What on earth is he doing? Even the Asian superstars don't even put up this kind of show."

"People who have no sense of time should be disqualified and not allowed to sign up for any talent shows in the future."

"Who does he think he is? This is a global tryout!"

"Why don't we let other players go first? What if he gets into trouble? Buses and subways often go on strike or run late in Australia. I don't think it's intentional."

"I think the contestants should be given a chance. Everyone has urgent matters."

"Okay, let's discuss it with the three main judges first." The other judges and the host came to a conclusion after a discussion.

"Why don't you start? What are you doing?"

“Maybe the contestants are preparing their instruments.”

"Honey, when will your friend show up?"

"I do not know either."

The people in the seats were immersed in their own thoughts, and the sound of idle chattering could be heard one after another.

However, Zhang Ruoxi seemed restless, with only one thought in her mind - waiting for the end of the talent show. She looked into the distance from time to time, as if she was fantasizing about meeting Su. She longed to have the opportunity to ask Su for a precious autograph and take a photo with him as a souvenir at the end of the talent show.

Shen Xinyi's eyes were inadvertently attracted by the affection between Chen Xi and Sazhi, and her mood gradually became heavy. She tried to control her emotions, but her inner displeasure still inadvertently revealed. Li Xin silently observed from the side, his eyes revealing helplessness and complexity.

Jin Nana looked lazy, hugged her arms and gently closed her eyes. Since the head injury, she seemed to have become particularly sleepy. Occasionally, she would habitually touch the injured area with her fingers, and after feeling a little unusual pain, she would quickly retract her hand, as if she was afraid of touching something taboo.

"Husband...kiss me." Saori kissed Chen Xi, then pointed to her cheek.

Of course Chen Xi knew her little thoughts. He sighed in his heart and then pressed his lips against hers.

"There was a small problem with the equipment just now. The competition will continue. Please welcome the third group of contestants!" Just as the two were being intimate, the host finally spoke, and the audience stopped expressing their dissatisfaction.

"I'm King No. 11...Jeason, singing the song "Grace Kelly." When No. 11 read out his own name, he suddenly changed his name from Chinese to English.

That's because he had the same name as the qigong master Wang Mumu. In order to avoid some trouble, he had to change his name.

"Hello everyone, I'm No. 12, Jie Guangkun, and I'd like to present to you a song, "My Future Is Not a Dream." No one could see the face of the second contestant because he was dressed up as a circus clown, wearing a clown's wig and nose, which made people feel a little confused.

"All kinds of monsters and demons can get on stage!"

"Is this guy here to make people laugh? He thinks this is a circus!" Some people raised doubts because Xie Guangkun can neither sing nor dance.

"How was this person selected? I don't even know what he went through in the previous auditions. No wonder some people would raise some opinions. It's ridiculous that Li Yang and Chen Jing were kicked out because of this clown." Lee said angrily, pointing at Jie Guangkun on the stage.

"You don't have to make indirect accusations. This is for the show effect. If you have any objections, go and talk to the director. Give the audience what they want to see. People nowadays just like to have fun. Who wants to watch those lifeless talent shows? Do you really think the audience doesn't know that the rankings are arranged?" Su smiled disdainfully.

"If I had known I would not have come to participate in this talent show."

"You can leave now, too."

"you……"

"I don't know why you are so serious. We just sit here and make our own money. Tell me what is fair in this world..." Su began to teach this man who was older than him.

"If there are too many people like you, there will be fewer and fewer outstanding talents in this kind of competitive sports every year, and more young people will lose hope in various competitions..."

"Childish. You are in your 60s and still so idealistic. You don't even understand the basic principles of following the rules of the game. What do you mean there are no outstanding talents? I was selected through a talent show. Am I not an outstanding talent? In the entertainment industry, is it useful to only focus on performance skills? If you don't have resources and background, you won't be successful later even if you win the championship. It's better to screen from the beginning and let those with resources and background take the top position directly. This will be better for everyone..."

Su's words were very realistic, leaving Lee unable to refute them for a moment. This kind of thing is the same in any country, and he himself understands this.

But people who are born into a good family often like to stand up for the weak on a whim. Lee thought about it and could only sigh helplessly.

In fact, it was not only Lee who raised doubts. The audience at the scene were not quite sure how this clown was chosen. They started talking about it and the photographer even took a close-up shot of it.

China, Happy Male Voice program team meeting room.

"If you do this, it may have a negative impact on the program and the TV station." A woman slammed the table with a folder in her hand.

"What do you know? The people above want ratings, and the people below want to have fun. If you put on some serious programs every day, no one would watch them." A bald man responded rudely.

"If the talent show is suspected of fraud, then there will be no need to hold future rounds."

"Do you think the audience doesn't know that these are fake? Why do they still watch them if they know they are fake? Have you ever thought about this question? Let me give you an example. Those wonderful dramas you watch on TV, none of them go against reality. All the operations are simply exaggerated, such as tearing the enemy apart with bare hands, climbing walls and using steamed bun bombs, but there are still a lot of people watching. At most, they will complain a few words afterwards, so what? As long as we make the money, that's enough. The next few episodes will be easy. At that time, we will say that for the sake of fairness, the program has been adjusted and a certain teacher has been invited to be a judge. This will attract another wave of old audiences..." The bald man said his idea proudly.

Others also expressed their support for the bald man, and the woman had no choice but to stop talking.

Seeing that no one objected, the bald man continued, "Some things, just be open-minded. Learn more from Su. Look at this young man, he is very smart and he knows the rules of the game very well. I think this person has a bright future and will definitely go far in the entertainment industry in the future..."

"Li Yang and Chen Jing were disqualified as judges because they proposed fraud in the competition. This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet. Now that foreigner is asked to be the chief judge. Will he refuse to cooperate?" At this time, a man in a suit, who was about 30 years old, interrupted the bald man.

"This is the effect I want. It can mobilize the audience's emotions. As for that foreigner, don't think that Westerners are always fair. They are veterans in using these talent show tricks and methods. We learned them from them. Also, don't just look at the surface of things. How can you be sure that the qualifications of the two judges were disqualified just because of doubts..." The bald man tapped the table, seeming a little dissatisfied with his speech that was interrupted just now.
