Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"Really? Free?!!" The assistant excitedly held Chengcheng's hand.

"really."

The assistant shook her hand and said, "That's great, Sister Yin, I love you. From now on, you are my favorite female singer."

"Shh, you don't need to tell me this, just keep it in your heart."

"No, Sister Yin, I'm not only going to tell you, I'm also going to tell those reporters how good you are, so that they don't write bad things about you."

"You don't need to do that. Just take care of my food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Don't do anything useless. If you tell them that I'm good, will they stop writing about me? Come on, just write what you need to write. If you don't make money when it's ready, you'd be stupid. These paparazzi are not stupid."

"Sister Yin is right. I thought it was too simple. I will learn and practice more from Sister Yin in the future."

"Hey, you want to take advantage of my life experience for free? You're dreaming!"

"Then how can Sister Yin pass on your life experience to me?"

"Sorry, I will never pass this on. Just give it up and learn something else. Everyone's experiences are different, and I don't want to burden you with my experiences. It's fine just the way you are, silly and cute."

"Okay." The assistant put her hands on her cheeks and rubbed them in clockwise circles. Sister Yin praised her and said she was cute.

……

Soon it was time to go back on stage. With the help of her assistant, Chengcheng lifted her skirt and went to the judges' table.

As soon as we sat down, the judges' panel had not yet arrived, and a few audience members boldly asked for Chengcheng's autograph.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the two audience members, Chengcheng took the notebook and signed his name along the lines written by the original owner.

Hand it back to the audience in an instant.

Other audience members who saw this also asked Cheng Cheng for autographs. When Cheng Cheng saw that there were so many people wanting autographs, he knew that if he continued signing like this, he wouldn't be able to finish recording the show in the entire night.

Hands are not machines, how can they keep moving?

After thinking it over, Cheng Cheng called over a cameraman and asked him to take a photo of himself and the audience.

This won't disappoint other viewers.

Sure enough, most of the audience are still very satisfied with this approach, and it is normal that a few have some opinions.

After all, if there are so many people in the group photo and you want to capture them all, that means some people's faces will be blurry, and the pixels at that time are completely incomparable to the high-definition ones in later generations.

But it can also be regarded as a sense of atmosphere. Photos cannot speak, but photos can present the best effect through human expression.

There are many kinds of human expressions. Happiness, sadness, distress...are all expressions of human emotions.

……

Back on stage

The judges had allowed the opening show to begin, the show had arrived on time, and it was time for the contestants to go on stage.

The director went backstage and because everyone was wearing masks, the mentors couldn't see the contestants' true appearance.

But you can see that they are all reaching into an oversized lottery bucket.

Xiao Na came backstage to host the show. She stood in front of the camera and said, "Dear audience, now is the contestants' most tense moment. For the sake of fairness, we have placed all the contestants' labels in the lottery bucket. There are only 20 lucky cards in it. The lucky cards will not have the contestants' names written on them, only Arabic numerals."

"Whoever draws the corresponding twenty numbers will have their performance order randomly determined. The contestants need to perform in the order they were drawn. They cannot change their numbers privately or let other contestants impersonate them. If someone is found to have violated the rules once, they will be kicked out of the show. I think everyone knows this."

"Let's get closer and see how the contestants are drawing now! Please raise your right hands, the 20 contestants who have drawn the lucky number cards!" Xiaona looked at the contestants who raised their hands and counted them one by one. The number of people was correct. Then she dismissed the other contestants who were not drawn and let them go back to rest.

In fact, Ma'an City TV station is quite nice to the contestants and arranges accommodation for them in a unified hotel.

But there is also a rule that those who are eliminated from the competition must move out of the hotel immediately. As a result, many players have started preparations since arriving in Ma'an City, for fear that if they are eliminated, they will not only not be able to stay in the hotel but also have to buy their own tickets to go home.

The number of people backstage soon dropped sharply and the place became much emptier.

The remaining contestants began intensive emergency practice. In order to be fair, there was no instructor backstage. Everyone relied on their own singing methods and areas of expertise to practice.

The repertoire had already been handed over to the on-site judges when it was selected. The list of repertoires decided by the twenty contestants who remained had no signatures or introductions, only a thin piece of white paper with the shuffled song titles printed on it.

The judges also get their first impressions based on the song titles written on the set list.

For example, for some songs, some judges' first reaction after receiving the song list is that they want to listen to this song. Then when it is the contestant's turn to sing this song, the judge will pay more attention to the contestant's performance.

This may bring good or bad, depending on the contestant's performance at the time. Only when a contestant is chosen by a mentor can he take off the mask and walk towards the mentor.

If a contestant is selected by multiple teachers, he or she can proceed to the reverse selection stage.

If no mentor chooses a contestant, then the contestant will be eliminated, and eliminated contestants can also take off their masks.

But I can’t come again this season, but if I pass the auditions next season, I will have the opportunity to come to Ma'an City to participate in the final competition.

……

Soon the first contestant came out.

Back on stage, Xiao He received instructions from the backstage staff in the headset and began to follow the process in an orderly manner.

The first contestant came on stage and stood at the designated position under the guidance of Xiao He, and Xiao He stepped down from the stage.

Contestant number one began his performance.

The song she sang is called "Give Me Courage"

"The raindrops keep falling..."

The contestant finished singing in less than three minutes. The accompaniment of the song had not even ended yet, but she had already sung all the lyrics.

The singing voice was pretty good, but maybe because she was the first one to perform and there were a lot of cameras filming her, her performance wasn't that good.

The four mentors did not choose her. Contestant No. 1 who took off her mask was a girl with pure appearance.

"Hello, teachers. My name is Xiao Yutong. I am a student at Beijing University of Foreign Languages. I am very happy to be on our program "Singing Extraordinary". It is a challenge for me to have the courage to stand on this stage. I was not well prepared this time and did not perform well, but I will not give up. I will be back on stage next year."

Xiao He took the microphone, put on a gentle smile and said, "Xiao Yutong, you are welcome to come again next year!"
