Unexpectedly, Ji Lianzhu was outside his hotel. Lu Jinchao was a little surprised and went to open the door. Ji Lianzhu came in carrying a bird cage, with two parrots, one pink and one blue, inside. They were very beautiful.

Zhou Xuan greeted him politely: "Hello, Senior Ji Lian."

Ji Lianzhu handed her the birdcage in his hand and said, "This is your graduation gift."

Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw the bird. Ji Lianzhu opened the cage, picked up the pink bird, and placed it in Zhou Xuan's palm.

Lu Jinzhao took the blue one. The bird's two little claws tightly grasped his slender fingers, which was very pleasing. "Why did you give me this?"

"I felt you would like it, so I bought it when I saw it."

"You buy anything you see? It's obviously the one his family has raised since it was little." Chitose stretched out his cat claws to poke the bird. It had no substance, so the cat claws passed through the bird's body. He pouted and retracted his claws.

He reached out and touched the bird's back. The bird was very friendly, jumping around on his fingers and rubbing his palm. Lu Jinzhao's eyebrows softened, "Thank you."

The two told Zhou Xuan their ideas.

"Here's the thing. Do you want to study abroad with him?"

Zhou Xuan thought about it and felt that he didn't want to be a burden to his brother, but he also didn't want to leave him. He was very conflicted. "If I don't go, will it cause trouble to my brother...?"

Lu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No. I believe that my brother is capable of supporting you."

Zhou Xuan bowed to Ji Lianzhu: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Ji Lian! I still want to be with my brother!"

When she can be independent, she will definitely repay her brother's kindness!

Ji Lianzhu nodded and respected her decision: "Okay."

Lu Jinzhao teased the parrot: "When are we leaving?"

Ji Lianzhu: "When you finish your registration, I will be starting school soon. Can we go out and play together during the summer vacation?"

"No time."

"No time? What are you busy with?"

"Participate in the draft."

Ji Lianzhu: “……?”

*

The first episode was soon launched, and online voting began immediately.

Lu Jinzhao was the first to become a hot topic.

#Which window did God close for him#

#Talent show, just pick someone up on the street and he will be the top scorer in the college entrance examination#

#My mother asked me why I was kneeling to chase stars#

#The person I thought was blacklisted by everyone on the Internet was actually a top-notch boss#

The incident happened very suddenly. It was not that Tao Xing edited Lu Jinzhao's college entrance examination results into the show for publicity, but that some viewers saw related reports about him when searching for the voting channel. After all, when the results came out, the first episode had already been edited.

"The production team is so lucky, they just picked up a top scorer in the college entrance examination on the street!"

"Help! My second spring of idol-chasing has come! How can he be handsome, smart, and talented? What window did God close for him?"

"He's so handsome! I heard he enrolled at Teito University, and people in Teito said they want to go to Teito University to catch him!"

"The one above! I'm from the capital too! Take me with you when you chase stars!"

"I searched this name and found that he has appeared in several variety shows. How can he say that he is an amateur? Isn't this pure deception?"

"There are many amateurs on variety shows, those that are neither hot nor cold. How can they not be amateurs if they have no works, no professional background, and no training? Can this be criticized?"

"I watched those variety shows too, and I thought their performances were cute. I feel so bad for them."

There were all kinds of comments. Lu Jinzhao looked at the comments and felt a little ironic. Zhou Ye's performance on those variety shows was still there. In the past, people complained that he was pretentious and scheming, but now that he has been whitewashed, many people say that he is kind and genuine.

The first three episodes of the talent show were the contestants' first appearances and initial evaluations. The second episode was originally scheduled to be released at 8 pm on Sunday of the second week, so that the production team could continue to shoot and produce the fourth episode. But fans cried and shouted that they couldn't get enough of it, and they all went to the official blog to act cute and roll around.

After much deliberation, the production team decided to release the second episode online the next night, and to move the third episode to the original schedule of the second episode. This way, they could reserve a week for the audience to vote, and they could also prepare to shoot the fourth episode.

"So happy! I love you, the production team! I just felt it wasn't good enough!"

"Why can't you go online now?!"

"There are still twenty hours until the second episode! I can't wait any longer!"

Tao Xing sent a WeChat message: "I have a few companies that want to sign you. I've sent your information to your email. Would you like to take a look?"

Lu Jinzhao responded quickly: "Okay, thank you Director Tao."

"By the way, remember to post on Weibo. If it's inconvenient, I can open another one for you and you can manage it yourself."

"Okay, thank you Director Tao."

Tao Xing was helpless: "Can you say something else besides "OK, thank you Director Tao"?"

"Well...I have Weibo."

Zhou Xuan watched the first two episodes carefully, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you are so handsome!"

Fu Jingnian also sent a WeChat message: "Oh my god, you are so awesome??? Top scorer in the college entrance examination??? Are you interested in working in my company after graduation?"

Zhang Yong: "That's amazing. I just saw you on TV."

Familiar people sent their congratulations one after another, and Lu Jinchao replied to them one by one. Only Fu Jingnian cried and said that he was not kind enough, but Lu Jinchao dismissed him with an emoticon.

Seeing the trending search, the person who was happiest besides Tao Xing was Qiao Wanyan.

God knows how happy she was when she saw that Lu Jinzhao not only became a hot favorite on the talent show but also won the top score in the college entrance examination! She wanted to let Lu Jinzhao show his face on the live broadcast immediately!

What made her even happier was that she only spent 500,000 to sign Lu Jinzhao for five years! Oh my god, it was so exciting that she would wake up laughing even in her dreams!

She has already seen herself surpassing Liu Wei to become the head of the largest trade union!

Late at night, Qiao Wanyan seemed to have returned to the state of an 18-year-old girl in love. She was too excited to sleep and rolled around wildly on the bed, excited about the second spring of her career.

"Xiao Lu, you're hiding it too well! I'm already looking forward to seeing you play games and showing your face. The popularity of your live broadcast room will definitely explode! You said you are good-looking, smart, and good at playing games. What window did God close for you?"

The next day, Lu Jinzhao saw the text message and replied:?

The account was still there, but the previous authentication had been lost, so he used Zhou Ye’s Weibo to post a new self-introduction.

@陆今朝: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Jinchao, a contestant from Class A of "Tomorrow's Star Road"."

Tao Xing retweeted this Weibo immediately. Within two hours, several familiar contestants such as Ning Leran and Fu Huarong also retweeted it. Lu Jinzhao happily received the Orange V certification.

The first round of group competition requires about three to four episodes to be edited, so the seventh and eighth episodes began to be assembled one after another. Lu Jinzhao placed Zhou Xuan in a courtyard house in the imperial capital, and specially bought a bionic butler from the points mall to keep him company.

Lu Jinzhao set up a program for him, with the first goal of protecting Zhou Xuan, and he would only listen to him and Zhou Xuan.

This bionic man is highly intelligent and has the ability to think independently. His body is made of alloy and covered with artificial skin. He looks no different from a real person, but in fact he is invulnerable to swords and guns, has an extremely high combat power, and is not afraid of pain. As long as no important components are damaged and he loses the ability to move, almost no one can hurt him.

Zhou Xuan named him Ah Shen, which seemed to be the nickname of a character in her favorite comic.

Lu Jinzhao went to the "Tomorrow's Star Road" base in Shanghai alone to continue filming, and the parrot was left with A Shen.

The voting results of the first three episodes have basically come out. Lu Jinzhao's popularity remains high, and his Weibo fans have quickly exceeded one million. He will definitely not be eliminated in the first round.

The fourth episode has been edited and is waiting to be released online.

The second round of voting system changed. The production team made a temporary change and added a new actor as a judge. The competition system also changed. Originally there were only singing, dancing, and rap groups, but now there is an acting group. Maybe Tao Xing wants to discover other advantages of the contestants.

According to the first round of netizens' voting, the program team has eliminated the bottom 20 contestants. Next, the remaining 80 contestants will take four tests and will eventually be selected into corresponding groups by the mentors based on their scores. If multiple mentors choose the same contestant, the contestant can make a reverse selection.

There are no requirements for the repertoire for singing and dancing; rap requires contestants to improvise original works, and the acting test is to distribute four situational scripts uniformly, with two to three people in a group, and each group is assigned a segment. The contestants are free to form teams to practice, and finally all the segments can be pieced together into a complete situational drama.

On the first day, the singing assessment was recorded, with each of the 80 contestants performing a five-minute segment. That evening, all 80 short segments were uploaded to the platform at once for direct audience voting; the dance was recorded on the second day, and so on.

In the singing assessment, Lu Jinzhao sang a traditional Chinese song that he really liked, which received unanimous praise from the judges. He practiced the dance assessment in the system space for half a year, day and night, to the point where his body would follow the beats as long as he heard the prelude; Qiansui wiped his sweat with concern, not understanding why he worked so hard, he just smiled and said, "Even if you add some talent, you still have to practice in front of the mirror and choose the version with the best effect."

Although he has never been very interested in rap, he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination after all, so the lyrics he wrote couldn't be too bad, so he still tried hard under the guidance of the virtual teacher in the practice room, and his results in both items were very good.

When it came time for the acting assessment, Lu Jinzhao's group was assigned the most difficult scene in the short script, which was about school bullying and involved fighting scenes.

Ning Leran sighed and said, "I will never let Brother Chao draw a lottery again next time. It's too dark."

The script is derived from the currently popular true and false daughter plot. Lu Jinzhao plays the villain bully in it, and is also a real young master.

The three of them began to rehearse nervously.

As a judge, the movie star Yan Shangzhang raised his hand and said, "Begin."

On the stage, Cheng Ming (Lu Jinzhao) kicked open the classroom door and walked behind Cheng Cheng (Ning Leran) who was talking to Xu Yi (Fu Huarong). He hooked his arm around Cheng Cheng's shoulder in a seemingly intimate manner, but in fact he grabbed the man's neck and pulled him up. He showed a threatening smile: "Don't you have something to talk to me about? I happen to be free now."

Cheng Cheng's face turned pale for a moment, and he forced a smile: "Ah, yes, I have something to say, let's go home first."

Xu Yi didn't understand what was going on, so he waved to the two of them and said, "Goodbye."

Cheng Cheng was brought by Cheng Ming to a corner of the stage with a small forest of trees in the background. Cheng Ming threw him to the ground, squatted down and patted Cheng Cheng's face with the back of his hand: "I heard that your parents are going to transfer you to another class? What, are you afraid of me?"

Most of Cheng Ming's memories before the age of fourteen were spent wandering, so he did all kinds of stealing and sneaking things, and often went to the police station for tea. Even after he was taken back to the Cheng family, he did not restrain his dirty and inferior nature.

Therefore, the Cheng family did not like him.

Cheng Ming was jealous that Cheng Cheng had replaced everything he had since he was a child. If it weren't for Cheng Cheng, he wouldn't have suffered so much. So he always made trouble for Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng had bruises every two days and scratches every three days, all thanks to Cheng Ming.

"No...my parents are afraid that you don't like being in the same class with me..." Cheng Cheng is a typical rich young man who has been raised by Jin Gui since he was a child. He is innocent and kind, and his values ​​are more correct than his appearance. He always feels that he owes Cheng Ming.

"Heh, why are you pretending to be weak? If you hadn't gone to complain, would Cheng Tianyuan have beaten me like this?" Cheng Ming took off his coat, revealing a large, fresh, long red mark under his vest.

Cheng Cheng subconsciously reached out his hand to touch her. Cheng Ming put on his school uniform and dodged, "Stop pretending."

"I'm not pretending." Cheng Cheng held Cheng Ming, "My parents and I all hope you're well."

Cheng Ming sneered and threw him aside, "Stop being so hypocritical! If you really want me to be well, you should get out of the Cheng family and give everything back to me."

Cheng Cheng took two steps back and was about to fall to the ground. Someone supported him from behind. It was Xu Yi.

Xu Yi and Cheng Ming started fighting. Xu Yi hit Cheng Ming in the face with every move, while Cheng Ming focused on his weaknesses. After a fight, Cheng Ming's face was covered with countless bruises, but Xu Yi's injuries were more serious.

Cheng Cheng finally pulled the two apart: "Stop fighting! This is all my fault!"

Xu Yi pulled Cheng Cheng back and said, "It's not your fault that the wrong child was taken away! You have done your best, but this guy is ungrateful!"

Cheng Ming dismissively pushed Cheng Cheng away and pointed at Xu Yi, his face grim: "Don't bother with meddling in other people's business. I just don't like this guy! Hide him if you dare, or I'll beat him up every time I see him!"

Fifteen minutes passed, and Yan Shangzhang raised his hand: "Stop."

The three of them stopped and bowed to Yan Shangzhang. Ning Leran hurriedly took out a pack of toilet paper: "Brother Chao, your mouth is bleeding!"

Fu Huarong covered the place where he was hit and frowned slightly. Because it was a real-time stage, in order to make the effect realistic, they fought for real.

Lu Jinzhao took the tissue and pressed the corner of his mouth that was stinging, "Thank you."

The staff hurriedly handed over a Band-Aid and medicine. There was no mirror here, so Lu Jinzhao bent down slightly and let the staff treat his wound. He smiled with his eyes closed, and the staff blushed on the spot.

Chitose expressed disdain for his beauty trick: "You really don't miss any opportunity to gain favor."

Lu Jinzhao: "Who would complain about having too many points?"

Yan Shangzhang gave a very sharp evaluation, criticizing the three of them one by one. Ning Leran stuck out her tongue, Fu Huarong listened to the lecture expressionlessly, and Lu Jinzhao didn't show it on his face, but secretly got goosebumps all over the floor, wondering where those weird little scripts voted in by the fans of the show came from.

The last few groups of mentors competed for candidates, and Yan Shangzhang unexpectedly chose Lu Jinzhao. In the end, Ning Leran chose the dance group, Fu Huarong the singing group, and Gao Yiyun, who was in the same dormitory, the rap group.

After much deliberation, Lu Jinzhao chose the acting team led by Yan Shangzhang. Singing and dancing skills are not as practical as acting skills. His acting skills really need to be polished. Even if he leaves the entertainment industry, it would be good to be able to deceive others when he goes to other small worlds in the future.

In the dormitory, Ning Leran collapsed on the bed and gave Lu Jinchao a thumbs up: "Your brother Chao is still your brother Chao. He actually chose Prince Yan's group. My scalp tingles when I see him."

Lu Jinzhao: "Prince Yan?"

Gao Yiyun was confused: "What prince? Didn't the Qing Dynasty fall?"

"Emmmm, the homonym of Yama..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

*

After filming the seventh episode, all the contestants and mentors should have had a holiday to wait for the next round of voting. But as the show became a big hit, the person in charge of a large amusement park that was about to open in the city sent a business card, inviting the production team to film an episode there to build up some popularity for the opening of the amusement park.

Tao Xing stroked his chin and thought for a while, then decided to add a special episode on the amusement park, and even called back the contestants who had been eliminated previously.

The eliminated contestants were basically all newcomers in the entertainment industry. When they had no notice, most of them practiced in their own companies and had a lot of free time. All 100 people were present.

This special episode was changed to a live broadcast format. Tao Xing asked the contestants to form groups of ten and freely form groups to complete the tasks. Those who succeeded in the challenge could move freely, while those who failed the challenge had to accept the punishment.

Ning Leran, Fu Huarong, Gao Yiyun and Lu Jinzhao, who were roommates, formed a team again. There were also a few people who were members of the same company or had collaborated with them in performances.

Seeing that there was only one spot left in this group, a boy who was ranked in the middle came over and smiled sweetly: "Excuse me, can I be in the same group with you?"

A few people glanced at the boy's name tag. His name was Yu Yan.

Ning Leran smiled and said, "Sure, we just happen to be short of one person."

Others also expressed no objection.

"Thank you." Yu Yan put his hands behind his back and stood between Lu Jinzhao and Ning Leran. Ning Leran subconsciously took a step back and stepped on Fu Huarong.

A huge gray footprint suddenly appeared on Fu Huarong's shiny white shoes.

Ning Leran was still searching for tissues, and Yu Yan quickly squatted down and wiped him with her sleeve, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for jumping out so suddenly!"

Fu Huarong was also shocked by his behavior and took a step back. Ning Leran handed him a tissue: "Sorry."

Fu Huarong turned his head away: "It's okay."
