When they saw the light board with the names of the six singers appear, the two knew it was time for the audience to enter.

They simply walked around the stage, checked some areas where mistakes could happen, and then went backstage.

When the two were walking towards the lounge, they happened to meet Fang Shuyao and He Zhi who were coming back from another exit.

Liao Yin understood: "Did you two go to check out the venue in advance? Did Xiao Wang and the others take you around the stage?"

They both nodded.

"That's good." Liao Yin said, "The equipment is still the same as before. At most, the stage is a little bigger and there are more cameras. You can just treat it as an advance rehearsal for the concert."

Since this venue was only negotiated two or three days ago and the stage was only completely set up today, the singers were unable to come and see the stage conditions in advance and could only make preparations in this regard before the show started.

The other singers have all held concerts and are not unfamiliar with such venues.

Only He Zhi and Fang Shuyao need to adapt as quickly as possible.

"I have other things to do here, so I'll leave first." Liao Yin waved at Lu Wantang, "Call me if you have anything."

Lu Wantang said yes and motioned for Fang Shuyao and the other person to go into the lounge to talk.

"The audience has started to arrive. You just watched the stage. How did you feel?"

"I feel fine." He Zhi was as calm as ever.

"I'm fine, just a little nervous."

Fang Shuyao gestured with her thumb and index finger, and then asked, "If we hold concerts in the future, will it also be held in a venue like this?"

The concert has always been in Lu Wantang's plan, but the time has not been determined.

However, none of their company's singers are even at B level now. If they apply to hold a concert individually, the venue may be very small, but it will be different if they apply collectively.

Therefore, Lu Wantang’s answer was: “It may be bigger than this venue.”

Fang Shuyao exclaimed, "Then I have to perform well tonight. Mr. Liao is right. This is considered an advance rehearsal for the concert."

She has become more confident and cheerful recently.

If it were in the past, let alone saying such words, the first thing I would probably do is frown and ask Lu Wantang what I should do if I was too nervous.

Lu Wantang nodded: "Don't think too much, just perform like in the previous six games."

After that, she discussed with the two of them that after the first season of "Singer" ended, they would integrate several songs sung in the show and make them into an album.

Fang Shuyao and He Zhi would certainly have no objections.

The three of them chatted in the lounge for a while when a staff member came and knocked on the door, asking He Zhi and the other man to get ready and meet in the largest lounge in five minutes.

Soon, the time came to eight o'clock in the evening.

The live broadcast of the first semi-final of "I Am a Singer" has officially begun.

Backstage, a staff member walked forward, with his back to the camera as before.

But this time, he came with empty hands and did not come with the lottery box.

The six singers looked at him in confusion.

Shouldn't it be the lottery stage now? Why didn't you bring the lottery box over?

The staff member cleared his throat and said, "I haven't seen you for two weeks. The teachers have been staring at me. I'm a little nervous."

"And if you keep watching, the order of appearances in tonight's game will not be determined by drawing lots like in the past."

Hearing this, Zhou Yijun spoke first: "If we don't draw lots, how do we decide the order of appearance? All six of us?"

When the other five heard this, they either smiled or chuckled.

"Cough cough."

It was not until the staff coughed twice that they quieted down again.

"Director Chen said that it seems meaningless to always draw lots, so for this first semi-final, the six teachers will decide the order of appearance themselves."

"Let's decide for ourselves?" Chen Yulin looked at the people present. "Does that mean we should discuss it ourselves?"

"Yes." The staff nodded. "Did you see the blank cards on the table? The teachers need to write down the order they want to appear on them first, and then we can discuss it together."

While he was speaking, another staff member distributed blank cards to the six people from left to right.

The two people sitting next to each other would whisper to each other from time to time to see what number the other person had written.

"Teachers, please hurry up."

Less than a minute after the staff reminded us, they called a halt.

All six of them laid out their cards on the table in front of them.

Among them, Chen Yulin and Yan Sui both wrote the number '3'; Fang Shuyao wrote the number '4'; Chu Kong wrote '5'; and He Zhi wrote '6'.

Zhou Yijun did not follow the usual path and wrote down the five numbers except the number '1'.

The staff looked around and said, "It seems no one wants to be the first to appear."

"So, the teachers need to discuss the order in which they will appear."

After saying that, he took a few steps back.

The audience thought that he was leaving enough space for the singers to discuss among themselves, and they could also see the singers' discussion process through the big screen.

After all, in the first six episodes, when the order of appearance was determined by drawing lots, the numbers drawn by each person were directly made public.

However, the next second, the camera switched directly to the stage.

After a brief moment of confusion, the thousands of people at the scene began to voice their doubts.

Cui Yuanbo, dressed more formally than in the previous six episodes, appeared on the screen via a lift.

"Good evening, audience friends. Welcome to the seventh show of the first season of I Am a Singer, which is also the first semi-final. I am the host Cui Yuanbo. Tonight..."

After speaking the fluent and familiar host's words, Cui Yuanbo mentioned that the order of appearance was being discussed backstage:

"I know that I'm definitely not the one that everyone wants to see right now, but there's nothing I can do. The director said that the order of appearances must be kept secret for now, so everyone can guess for themselves. There's nothing I can do about it!"

He spread his hands, looking helpless.

Ignoring the boos from the audience, Cui Yuanbo continued:

"Everyone can take a look at the right armrest of your seat. Is there a device similar to a voting machine?"

"Now, you can guess the order in which the six singers will appear based on the usage displayed on the big screen."

"The audience who guessed all the answers correctly will receive one of the singer's albums provided by the program team, as well as -"

"A total of one million in prize money!"

"The more people who win the lottery, the less prize money each person gets. On the contrary, the fewer people who win the lottery, the more prize money each person gets!"

Guessing the order in which all six people will appear is as difficult as buying a lottery ticket, but it is much easier than winning the lottery.

What's more, the prize money offered by the program team is really too generous.

Thousands of spectators, including the public jury, could not resist such temptation and were very enthusiastic.

"There are only fifteen minutes left, so hurry up."

"Once the time is up, all the results will be irrelevant."

Cui Yuanbo has been repeatedly reminding people about the precautions.

But not many people pay attention to it. The audience who come in groups are all committed to making the order of numbers different for each person, so as to increase the probability of winning.
