Chapter 40 The game begins!
"That's right, no matter what, Yao Qianqian doesn't specialize in music after all, so it's impossible for her to be better than students who major in music."

"I still think Yao Qianqian has a good chance of winning. This is the third time she has participated in the competition, and she has a lot of stage experience."

Tong Fei silently listened to the conversation of the students behind.It seemed that Yao Qianqian might really have met an opponent this time.

"Students, tonight's competition is about to start, let me see your enthusiasm!"

Hearing the shout, the students screamed at the same time, and the atmosphere continued to heat up.

The big screen on the stage started the countdown.All the students counted down along with the numbers on the big screen.

"10, 9, 8, 7"

"The No.12 Campus Top Ten Singer Contest of Linming No. [-] Middle School starts now!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, all the lights in the auditorium went out.Immediately, the curtain of the stage was opened, and dozens of students appeared on the stage.

Hearing the prelude, Tong Fei knew that the opening song was "My Motherland and Me".

The basic skills of the students are good, and the overall singing is relatively stable.Tong Fei felt that the singing was much better than that of a certain girl group he had heard.

All the students sang along together.The singing voices of the students were clean and clear, full of youthful vigor, which made Tong Fei feel a different feeling.

After the opening song ended, the four hosts came to the stage to officially start tonight's game.

"Respected leaders, teachers, dear students, hello everyone!"

After the host said hello, the audience burst into warm applause.

"Everyone knows that since 11 years ago, at the end of every year, our Linming No. 12 Middle School will hold a competition for the top ten singers on campus. This year, it's No.[-]." A male host said.

"Before I knew it, it was already No.12! When the first competition was held, I was not yet in elementary school." Said the hostess next to her.

"That's right, we were all still wearing crotch pants during the first competition."

"Ha ha."

"In the past 11 years, many excellent campus singers have emerged. And our competition system is constantly changing with the trend."

"Really? Is there any difference between this competition and the previous one?" the hostess asked in feigned surprise.

"You're right, the competition system this time has indeed changed a bit compared to the previous ones. First of all, the judges. In addition to the professional judges composed of five music teachers, new referees have also been added."

"New referee?"

"That's right. See the phalanx over there? They are 50 public judges carefully selected by us. Come on, students, wave to everyone!"

Tong Fei followed the host's hand and saw that on the left side of the stage, a phalanx was separated, and the students in the phalanx were waving to everyone.

"Then how will the contestants' scores be calculated this time?" the hostess asked curiously.

"That's a good question. First of all, it's our professional jury!"

The male host introduced five professional judges in turn.Each judge turned around and bowed to the audience, and there was warm applause from the audience.

"In each round of the competition, the full score of each contestant is 100 points. Among them, 50 points are for professional judges, and 50 points for public judges. Each professional judge will give a score of 6-10 points according to the performance of the contestant after the contestant's performance. A public judge holds two cards, green and red, and raises the card after the contestants have finished singing. The green is recorded as 1 point, and the red is recorded as 0 points. Finally, the points are added together to obtain the total score.”

"Well, I understand. But how are the public judges selected? Will it favor certain contestants?" The hostess continued to ask.

"Our 50 public judges are 50 students randomly selected from the students with high musical literacy screened out from the whole school, so there is no need to worry about this problem at all."

"So it is."

"Finally, let's talk about the selection of the champion. The first round is a solo competition, and all contestants will compete in order from the back to the front according to the order of the preliminaries. Among the ten contestants, the top five will be selected to enter the second round."

"It sounds cruel. The bottom five will be eliminated directly."

"There is no way, this is the competition. In the second round of the competition, we introduced a brand-new link - helping to sing."

"Help sing?"

"That's right. The five contestants who entered the second round of the competition each invited a guest to complete the competition with them. Let me secretly reveal that today's Bang Bang sing has a heavyweight mysterious guest."

Hearing the male host's words, the students in the audience were all excited, looking forward to the next singing session.

"In order to make the second round of competition more exciting, in the second round, we will draw lots to determine the order of competition. Finally, we will add the results of the two rounds to determine the champion of this competition."

"I have fully understood the competition system, do the students understand?" The hostess extended the microphone to the audience and asked the students.

"Understood!" The students in the audience shouted in unison.

"What are you waiting for, the competition starts now! Please invite the first contestant, Ye Jiayi from Class 3, Senior [-], to bring her repertoire—"Your Tavern is Closed for Me"."

Amidst bursts of applause, Ye Jiayi stepped onto the stage.

Ye Jiayi was a little nervous because she was the first to sing on stage, and her voice was a little trembling at the beginning.After singing for a while, I gradually recovered some state.

Since the song is not difficult and there are many flaws in the singing, the professional jury gave five 7 points, and 26 members of the public jury gave green cards. In the end, Ye Jiayi only got 61 points.

Tong Fei could tell that it was the first time for this little girl to sing on such a big stage, and it was normal for her to perform poorly.

The first round of the competition is based on the results of the preliminaries and will be sung on stage from back to front.Yao Qianqian did not participate in the preliminaries and was arranged to play second to last in the first round.

The next few contestants who appeared on the stage had nothing amazing in their singing, and their final scores did not exceed 80 points.

At this time, seven contestants have already completed the competition.The previous singing was generally of a mediocre level, and the audience was looking forward to the next three favorites to win the championship.

"Our first round of the competition has gradually entered the most exciting stage. The next contestant is our third runner-up in the last competition, Tang Yan, a classmate of Class 1, Senior Three. The song he brought is - "Lying" .Please invite classmate Tang Yan!"

"Tang Yan, Tang Yan"

After the host introduced Tang Yan, bursts of shouts erupted from the audience.

"This kid is quite popular." Tong Fei wanted to see how well Tang Yan, the last third runner-up, could sing.

When the prelude sounded, Tang Yan lowered his head slightly, getting into the mood of singing.

"Have had a few good partners"

"Say it's not lonely"

"Maybe my wandering makes others uneasy"

"It will result in death"

As soon as Tang Yan opened his mouth, Tong Fei could hear the difference between Tang Yan and the previous contestants.The last third runner-up did indeed have a certain amount of strength.
