Superstars start with punch cards

Chapter 37 Grouping
On May 5th, the day of the cross talk rookie contest.

In the morning, CCTV recorded the scene.

Due to the large number of participants, the preliminary competition was a temporary shooting spot under the CCTV building, and multiple shooting spots were recorded together at the same time.Cameras have been set up at each shooting point, and there are also various drones in the sky for aerial shooting.

In the footage captured by the drone, the CCTV building has a banner of "Cross Talk Rookie Contest". The several shooting spots set up under the banner are spaced apart from each other. Thousands of people stand outside and line up to enter the venue at each shooting spot. .

The national cross talk carnival begins now! !
"Everyone, don't squeeze."

"Come one by one, whoever is called by the host will play."

"Everyone line up to enter the arena with the preliminaries pass!"

"The ID card and other documents are also shown, thank you for your cooperation!"

The people from CCTV didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and they started to work inside and outside before dawn.

Every year, a large number of people are recruited for the cross talk rookie contest. After all, this is a program with the highest ratings in the country.Since it was a CCTV program, many local TV stations, media newspapers, etc. also gave face and helped to publicize it. Once again, the public's curiosity was aroused, and they scrambled to discuss the competition.

Those who pay attention to this competition, not only the domestic people, but also some overseas Chinese are looking forward to the opening of the competition and looking forward to seeing the cultural and artistic works of the motherland.

Therefore, for this competition, the higher-ups issued an order to the program team, this competition is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, and no mistakes are allowed! ! !

While queuing up, a well-known anchor of CCTV, Bingbing, was randomly interviewing the contestants who participated in this year's cross talk rookie competition, followed by several camera teachers. The interview will be broadcast live on the live broadcast platform as a sideshow of the show.

"Hi, Teacher Yue, long time no see." Bingbing said with a smile.

A chubby man in his 30s turned his head and looked, "Oh, it's Teacher Bingbing! I love you so much."

The man covered his mouth with shock on his face and uncontrollable joy in his heart.

Bingbing said: "I'm the off-site anchor this time, Mr. Yue, as Mr. Guo's proud disciple, you even came to participate in the competition this time!!"

Teacher Yue said with emotion: "We are just elementary school students in the cross talk world. This time, we also want to learn from each other with our peers."

"Hehe, you are so humorous!" Bingbing smiled. "Who doesn't know the level of cross talk between you, Mr. Yue and Mr. Sun. It seems that you two are the champions of the sword this time!"

"It would be best if we can win the championship. If we can't get it, we won't force it. We came here to learn!" Mr. Yue said without leaking.

Immediately afterwards, Bingbing interviewed several well-known cross-talk actors, all of whom were the favorites to win the cross-talk rookie contest. Some of them were disciples of famous cross-talk masters, such as Mr. Yue, and some had good results last year but came to participate again this year. Contestants, and some "non-mainstream" cross talk rookies who are very popular on the Internet.

This year's cross talk rookie competition can be described as a gathering of dragons, and this year's competition is bound to be a fight between dragons and tigers!
People entered the stage one by one, and as the performers were in place, the staff also arrived in place one after another.

Then, someone led many players through the CCTV building and into the open-air arena that had been built.

Bai Qian, the host of the cross talk rookie competition, saw that almost everyone was present, and then stepped onto the rostrum that had been built.

The rostrum is relatively formal, with a large screen showing the competition, and there are human-shaped stands of judges around it.The decoration on the rostrum is meticulous and the scene is very grand.The host Bai Qian is also a star host of CCTV. It can be seen that CCTV has also put their heart into this cross talk rookie contest.

The camera was turned on, and the lens was aimed at the rostrum and the contestants in the competition seats.

Under the backdrop of the background sound, Bai Qian came onto the stage with a smile.

"Welcome to all crosstalk experts, thank you to the audience in front of the TV, and it's the day when the annual crosstalk rookie competition begins. This year, I feel very honored to be the host."

After a complicated but necessary opening, Bai Qian started to talk about the business:

"Let me briefly introduce the procedures. This year's cross talk competition is the same as the previous ones. It is divided into three stages: preliminaries, knockout rounds and finals. Preliminary rounds - applicants perform cross talk works on the spot, and broadcast them in the form of webcast, with judges and off-site votes The winners will be determined to advance to the knockout stage.

The knockout round will be broadcast live by CCTV. The contestants will face off in pairs, and the top five will be selected to enter the final.

The final battle will determine the outcome, and the cross talk rookie champion of this competition will be selected.

Today is our preliminaries, the first part is the grouping, this time in order to ensure the accuracy of the grouping, we invited the staff from the notary office to ensure the fairness and justice of the program grouping."

In fact, it is called the preliminaries, it is actually the audition for the singing competition, because there are too many contestants, and it is certain that everyone will not be on TV, so there is an online audition, and the real strength is selected based on popularity. The best players will advance to the knockout round, so as to really get the tickets for this cross talk rookie competition.

However, CCTV will also selectively edit according to the popularity of the preliminaries online audition, and edit real capable people and works into the programs broadcast by CCTV, so as to help the contestants increase their popularity and help national audiences get to know the contestants.

When the lottery began, thousands of contestants stared intently at the big screen of the lottery.

Since the crosstalk is basically a group of two people, of course there are also group crosstalks with multiple people, Liu Fan simply counted, and it is estimated that there will be more than 1000 partner combinations at the BJ scene!So scary!
There are too many partner combinations, and the time for drawing lots is very long. Liu Fan and You Ruyun are bored waiting.

Group A, Group B and Group C have drawn lots, and Bai Qian is still announcing the results. Liu Fan glanced at Bai Qian, and couldn't help but feel admiration deep in his heart.On this hot day, I was still wearing a suit and stood all morning. Sure enough, there is no shortcut to success! !
"Shan Junkang, Shu Wenyu, No. 8 in Group D"

"Gu Xiaojie, Wanken, No. 9 in Group D."

The players were also talking in low voices.

"Everyone is so strong in this competition."

"Yes, I just heard that Mr. Yue is here, and Mr. Feng's apprentices are also participating in the competition. They are all favorites to win this competition!!"

Suddenly, Liu Fan heard a familiar name:
"Liu Fan, You Ruyun, No. 11 in Group D."

Turning to look at Lao You next to him, he smiled:

"We are on the 11th. It seems that the recording can be completed today. Depending on the time, it is estimated that it will be our turn in the afternoon."

You Ruyun nodded slightly, and the time was about the same: "Then let's find a place to have a drink first?"

"Okay." Liu Fan said.

The two bold people turned their heads and walked out of CCTV. The results of the groupings have already come out, and there is no need to stay here and wait. Eat and drink first, and then have the energy to perform in the afternoon!
