Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Tao Xing urgently handed him a microphone and a name tag, pointed to the door, and said, "Go in. As we said before, I'm looking for you to make up the numbers. How many rounds you can make depends on your ability."

Lu Jinzhao nodded, put a name tag on the left side of his waist, and walked into the studio with his long legs.

After entering the door, there was a long and narrow corridor. He was not sure whether there were cameras filming. He looked around and saw no special props or links, so he walked straight into the next door.

The cameraman backstage was furious: "No, this person walked too fast, I couldn't even get a full shot of his face!"

The director lazily asked: "Isn't it normal for people to walk fast with such long legs?"

Behind the second door is the studio.

As I stepped into the studio, the noisy chattering stopped and I could vaguely hear a few people gasping for air.

Lu Jinzhao was wearing a camel-colored thin windbreaker with a black high-necked thin sweater underneath, black loose trousers and white dad shoes. He was holding a newly bought Starbucks in his hand. He gave off the "three highs" of being high-class, noble, rich and handsome.

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

"He looks like the younger guy in Korean comics!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the hero of the novel I read has a face! So handsome!"

"Oh my god, those legs are so long!"

Apart from those who were blinded by beauty and praised her mindlessly, there were also those who went off topic: "No, how come he has something to drink? Did Starbucks sponsor this show, too?"

The host stepped forward and pulled Lu Jinzhao to stand next to him: "Hmm? You're a familiar face. Please introduce yourself!"

Lu Jinzhao took the microphone and bowed slightly, "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Jinzhao, I'm 19 years old, and I'm considered an amateur."

The host was shocked: "Amateur?"

No, they worked together on a previous variety show, how can they say they are amateurs???

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Yes, an amateur."

Zhou Ye originally only played the male No. N in a costume drama, and his screen time was pitifully small. After the scandal broke out, all of his scenes were cut out, and those that could not be cut were replaced by AI throughout the whole process. As for those variety shows where he served as a background board, they did not make any splash at all.

He has no works, is not a professional, and has been in the industry for nearly a year, but is still an amateur after his return. It is totally fine to count him as an amateur.

Host: "Then can I ask why you want to come to our show?"

Lu Jinzhao was very honest: "I was shopping a few minutes ago, and Director Tao stopped me."

"Is this possible?" The host reacted quickly, walked over to Tao Xing with a smile, and handed him the microphone: "So you were tricked by our director? Director Tao, is this true?"

Tao Xing smiled and replied, "I indeed picked him up on the road."

There was laughter from the audience below.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Please go and choose a seat according to your own ability."

"Okay." Lu Jinzhao nodded and looked around. There were not many seats left, so he walked straight to the 100th seat and sat down. He had already said that he had no experience in the entertainment industry, and sitting in any other seat would seem ungrateful.

He was calmly drinking Starbucks when the boy in the back seat, seat 88, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, how tall are you? At least 185cm, right?"

Lu Jinzhao remembered the joke circulating on the Internet: "I'm 181cm tall, but I always say I'm 178cm tall, just to embarrass those who are 175cm tall and claim to be 180cm tall." He smiled and said, "Yes, 188cm tall."

"I am dying of laughter." Chitose said with her tail held high: "When you go out, your identity is given by yourself. I didn't expect that your height is also given by yourself."

No. 88: “Wow, I’m so jealous.”

He seemed to want to chat with Lu Jinzhao, but other members came in one after another and he lost the chance to speak.

Soon, all 100 seats were filled. Some came alone like Lu Jinzhao, while others came as a group from the same company.

The host glanced at the script and spoke slowly, "Now that everyone has met the 5 contestants, please let the audience members vote for the contestants. Each audience member has votes, and each person can only vote once for each contestant. The contestants will relocate their seats based on your final voting rankings."

If you want to become an idol star, you must have a good face. This wave is to test the contestants' first impression. When the audience is not sure about everyone's ability, they will give priority to those who suit their taste.

All of a sudden, the sound of buttons clicking could be heard, and the number of votes under the names of hundreds of people on the big screen changed rapidly.

Two minutes later, the results came out and Lu Jinzhao was successfully selected as the third place.

The first two were contestants who had participated in other talent shows and had a certain fan base. Most of the people present came for them.

To be honest, Lu Jinzhao felt that it was already a miracle that he could make it into the top three.

Chitose sighed: "It turns out that the entertainment industry is ultimately a place where looks matter."

Host: "Okay, now that the results are out, let's ask the contestants to change seats according to their rankings."

Lu Jinzhao sat obediently in the third seat.

Host: "Now that the seats have been changed, let's start the preliminary evaluation performances! Starting from the 100th place, contestants from the same company will go on stage together!"

Some of the contestants only sang, while others sang and danced. The number of people in a group ranged from two to nine. Each group had three minutes to perform, and with the judges' comments, the speed was not fast, but it was not as slow as Lu Jinzhao had imagined.

He drank his coffee calmly, keeping his eyes on the stage. He applauded when he should and stood up when he should. Chitose was in control of everything.

The global aesthetic standards have deteriorated these days. Among the 100 people in this year's "Tomorrow's Star", there are only a few who can be called stunningly handsome. When the poster was released, netizens mocked it: "Does this show have to be selected?"

Therefore, Lu Jinzhao felt bored after watching for a while and went to the system space to practice singing. Being used to his own appearance, his aesthetic standards would only be higher, and ordinary facial features were really not in his eyes.

A staff member came up to communicate with him and asked him what he was going to perform. Lu Jinzhao thought about it and asked Qiansui to reply that he didn't need accompaniment, but wanted to borrow the piano.

Tao Xing asked the staff to agree directly through the headset, and then went down to arrange it.

After a long time, it was finally Lu Jinzhao's turn, and the system urgently returned his body. He slowly walked down the stage, took the microphone, and bowed to the judges. "Hello everyone, I am Lu Jinzhao, and the song I will perform is "Fairy Tale."

One of the judges, a famous singer, nodded and said, "Please start your performance."

Lu Jinzhao took a step forward with his long legs and walked to the piano beside him. He took a deep breath, placed his slender index fingers on the keys, and beautiful music slowly poured out.

After finishing the prelude, he cleared his throat and said:

"I forgot how long it has been since I last heard from you

Tell me your favorite story

I thought about it for a long time and I started to panic

Did I do something wrong again?"

……

The whole song was four minutes long, but the performance time was only three minutes. However, no one interrupted him, so Lu Jinzhao just kept singing. It was not until the end of the song, when he left the piano and returned to the center of the stage, that some of the audience came back to their senses.

The host looked puzzled: "Are you really not a professional?"

Lu Jinzhao was very calm: "It's really not."

The answer is that I exchanged points for talents, and just now I learned from the virtual teacher in the practice room.

Chitose: "What happened to the one-round tour and the money and the departure???"

Lu Jinzhao: "Oh, the ranking in the first round of voting is too high, so I can't go through in one round."

Chitose: ...

"It's hard to imagine that you would rank yourself 100th with your level." The chief judge said calmly and stamped an A on the rating form.

The other five judges gave him an A unanimously.

Lu Jinzhao smiled and bowed: "Thank you, judges."

The female singer Han Tiao asked, "Are you studying at a music school now?"

Lu Jinzhao shook his head slightly, "I just took the college entrance examination."

The host was shocked again: "What? You just took the college entrance examination?"

Han Tiao chuckled: "So how do you think you did in the exam?"

Lu Jinzhao pondered for a moment and said, "I played to my best."

Han Tiao: "Haha, really? Then I wish you can get into a good university!"

"Thank you."

He was not the first player to enter Class A, but he was the first player to enter Class A with all A's. Compared to some players who over-expressed themselves, Lu Jinzhao's calm and fluent performance throughout the whole process made everyone present feel good about him, and his points kept rising.

Lu Jinzhao: "Why don't you upgrade yet?"

Chitose scratched his head: "I don't know either."

Next was the performance of the second place voted by the audience. His name was Ning Leran, and he was from the same company as the first place winner Fu Huarong. The two had similar appearances and positions, and were considered competitors. I heard that their relationship was not very good behind the scenes.

Ning Leran's energetic dance and passionate song quickly ignited the atmosphere. Fu Huarong borrowed a guitar and sang a love song with true feelings. They both entered Class A.

It was late at night when the show was finished. The contestants were divided into different dormitories according to their ratings. Lu Jinzhao's roommates were Ning Leran and Fu Huarong, as well as Gao Yiyun, a veteran and talented contestant who had returned from the show.

Tao Xing never expected that just picking up a handsome guy on the street could bring such a show effect. He was very happy and ran to chat with him.

After the two finished their conversation, when Lu Jinchao returned to the dormitory assigned to him, the other three had already occupied their beds, leaving the bed near the door, which was responsible for turning on and off the lights.

One of the three was reading a book, one was playing on his phone, and one was playing games. No one was talking to each other. Lu Jinchao didn't care. He packed up casually and went out to buy daily necessities. He was dragged here while shopping and didn't bring any luggage.

Tao Xing is very tolerant of the contestants. They don't collect their cell phones and allow them to move around freely when they are not being filmed. There are even vending machines and small supermarkets at the entrance of the practice room building.

Lu Jinzhao bought all the daily necessities, went to the bathhouse to take a bath, opened the account of the anchor Shen Ji and posted a Weibo to ask for leave, saying that he would stop live streaming for a day, and then returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.

In the past, when I was doing variety shows, I was in a single room, so it was not difficult to broadcast live at night. Now I am in the same room with other people, so it is not suitable to broadcast live in the system space, otherwise I will be questioned if I show my face.

It's not that Lu Jinchao is so arrogant that he thinks these three future stars will be free to pay attention to his live broadcast room, but he is just in case. After all, if he really enters the entertainment industry, he will most likely become a competitor with these people. If the game anchor vest falls off one day, these people may expose the fact that he was broadcasting live today when he was asleep.

I'm afraid that even if we don't regard him as a monster, we will still question whether he is hiring a substitute.

Even though they couldn't produce any evidence, he still wanted to protect his reputation as he thought less trouble was better.

The next morning, Lu Jinzhao got up as usual for a morning run. He didn't know that there were many hidden cameras around the base, and his morning run was edited into the main program.

When he returned to the dormitory, he brought breakfast to several roommates. He was stopped by the staff at the door. Lu Jinchao put down the breakfast and left with them. He didn't care whether they ate it or not.

The staff led Lu Jinzhao to a small room where a camera was already filming. "This is a benefit for Class A members. It's a personal interview. Don't be nervous."

"OK, thanks."

The staff closed the door and walked away.

The interview room was brightly lit, with a simple set of tables and chairs, and the program director sat opposite.

Lu Jinzhao pulled out a chair and sat down, and the two of them officially began the interview.

Director: First of all, congratulations on being selected into Class A in the initial evaluation. What unique qualities and advantages do you think you have?

Lu Jinzhao: No.

Director: No? ? Do you think you have no advantages? You are in Class A, how can you not have advantages?

Lu Jinzhao: I don’t know much about the other contestants, so I can’t compare with them and naturally have no advantage.

Director: Many netizens are paying attention to you contestants, but many people also question the way talent shows are held. What is your attitude towards talent shows?

Lu Jinzhao: I think talent shows are a shortcut to stardom, but they are also a threshold. Only the fittest will survive.

Director: So, what will you do if you don’t make it to the debut position in the end?

Lu Jinzhao: Go back to study.

Director: Besides music, do you have any other hobbies?

Lu Jinzhao: Drawing, playing games, and cooking.

Director: You are really frugal with words... Well, our interview ends here. Can you please call Ning Leran for me?

Lu Jinzhao: Okay.

......

No contestants will be eliminated in the first three episodes. Instead, each contestant will be assigned a mentor and required to master the theme song and dance of this season of the show within a week. A competition will be held after a week, and netizens will decide who should stay and who should be eliminated.

There were so many contestants that the filming took a total of nine days, including a week of training.

During this period, Lu Jinchao received a recruitment call from Imperial Capital University. Three days before the college entrance examination results were announced, Lu Jinchao received recruitment calls from Imperial Capital University and several other prestigious universities. He finally chose Imperial Capital University. The admissions office of Imperial Capital University was very happy and promised him the maximum scholarship.

The phone call happened to be heard by Tao Xing who was passing by. He confirmed with his connections in the circle and confirmed that Lu Jinchao had scored high. Tao Xing seemed to have discovered something explosive. In the middle of the night, he dragged Lu Jinchao to the practice room to give him more money, asking him to try his best to stay for a few more rounds, and directly increased his salary by 500,000.

Lu Jinzhao blinked twice: "What if I get voted out?"

"I promise, you won't be eliminated in the first round!" Tao Xing patted his chest. It was not known whether he was too confident in Lu Jinchao or was planning to do something behind the scenes, but he dragged Lu Jinchao into the meeting room and re-signed the contract.

Due to the need to wait for post-production editing, the broadcast time and subsequent voting results, the contestants were given a holiday. Some went back to the company, some went home.

Lu Jinzhao went back to the hotel where he was staying, packed his luggage, and arrived at the airport. He sent a text message to the yellow-haired C who was far away: "It's time to move."

The Magic City is far away from Binxiang. Lu Jinchao bought the nearest flight and reached the capital in three hours. He rented a car and drove all the way onto the highway.

The phone rang, and it was C, who was wearing yellow hair. He picked it up and asked, "Is it done?"

Yellow-haired C said in a tone of "I will do the job, don't worry about it": "It's all done! I saw them enter the Zhou family with my own eyes. It shouldn't be long before someone calls you, Boss."

"Well done." Lu Jinzhao transferred some money to the yellow-haired guys and closed his phone.

Just as I reached 110 mph, Zhou Xuan called me, crying, "Brother! Are you in the hotel? Come back soon! Save me! My parents are going to sell me to Hong Tianfu! I just heard that they have received Hong Tianfu's money and will send me there tomorrow! They have locked me in the room now, I'm so scared!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Lu Jinzhao stepped on the accelerator and drove straight towards the speed limit.

"Brother Chao, the original owner didn't get a driver's license! Don't exceed the speed limit! It will be troublesome if you are caught driving without a license!"

"knowledge."
