Chapter 135 Shocking Choice
"Okay, you have ten minutes to think about it."
After the video of the guest singer was finished playing, Sanshui said in a clear voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanshui left and the contestants present began to discuss.
Feng Shiqi sought advice from Bai Xingjian: "Ah Jian, which guest do you think is more suitable for us?"
Bai Xingjian thought about it and still felt that the band called Qianjiang was more suitable for the two of them, so he replied: "Qianjiang Band."
"Why?" Feng Shiqi's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Because the songs we sing don't really need other singers to help us sing, but if it's a band, it's different."
Bai Xingjian grinned. If they chose an orchestra, they could sing the symphony version of "Above the Moon". However, "Above the Moon" and the symphony version of "Above the Moon" were two completely different songs. The latter was called "Guanghan Palace Breaking Formation Song", and its passionate and majestic momentum was even higher.
"What about you? Do you have any ideas?" Bai Xingjian asked back.
Feng Shiqi shook his head and smiled: "I think you are right."
"Really?" Bai Xingjian raised his lips, "So it's decided?"
"Uh-huh!"
In less than two minutes, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi ended their discussion. They turned around and looked around, and everyone was still discussing.
In this segment, the contestants were separated by a relatively large distance, so it was difficult to hear what others were saying.
"Have Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi finished their discussion?"
Wang Yaqi had been glancing at the two of them out of the corner of her eye and reacted immediately.
"That should be it." Li Zhenxi turned his head and looked at them, then asked, "Who do you think they will choose as the guest singer?"
"I guess it's Yan Xuewei. After all, her attributes are similar to Lin Qingying's. Besides, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have worked with Lin Qingying before, so they are likely to choose Yan Xuewei."
Lin Haili analyzed rationally: "Of course, Wen Xin might be chosen. Bai Xingjian has a lot of rock songs recently. Although they are not sung by him and Feng Shiqi alone, maybe he is trying to create momentum for singing rock music."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Wang Yaqi smiled and nodded, then looked worried, "It seems that there may be some conflicts between us and Fenghuang Yufei. I really don't know what Wen Xin will choose when the time comes."
GoldenCold has two target guests, Wen Xin and He Ensheng.
According to the rules for selecting guest singers this time, GoldenCold wants to try working with these two guests first, and then make a choice based on the chemistry between them.
However, Fenghuang Yufei may become a competitor for their selection of guests, so Wang Yaqi cannot help feeling a little anxious.
"Don't think too much before it even starts." Li Zhenxi comforted him, "Although we may not necessarily choose Wen Xin as our guest singer, Wen Xin may not necessarily choose Fenghuang Yufei. In the end, doesn't everyone depend on their own stage performance? During the rehearsal later, we just need to perform well, and leave the rest to fate."
"That should be the case." Lin Hailun nodded with a smile.
Wang Yaqi smiled and asked, "Who should we choose in the first round?"
Li Zhenxi smiled and said, "Just as we said just now, Wen Xin will be selected in the first round, and He Ensheng will be selected in the second round."
On the other side, Studio 5.
“Welcome four guest singers to the show “New Era of Heavenly Group”, which is sponsored by Jialan Organic Milk and co-founded by Xinghuo Short Video and Mango TV.”
Sanshui stood in front of the four guest singers and said in a serious tone: "Later, you will wait in your respective lounges for the contestants' selection and help them complete the first round of performances in the finals. Your cooperation will directly affect their performance in the finals. The four guest singers, in front of you are..."
On a small square table, there were four boxes of Jialan organic milk. The bottom of the milk boxes were labeled with numbers 1 to 4, which represented their order of competition in the finals.
"Okay, please invite the four guest singers to choose your Jialan organic milk." Sanshui said in a clear voice.
The four guests looked at each other, and then politely gave priority to the only lady, Yan Xuewei.
"Thank you!" Yan Xuewei also smiled generously and picked up the box of milk in the middle.
After her, Wen Xin, He Ensheng and Qianjiang Band’s representative Wan Ming also each took a box of milk.
Everyone took a look at the bottom of the milk carton and displayed the number in front of the camera.
Sanshui read out in a neutral tone: "Wen Xin is third, Yan Xuewei is second, He Ensheng is fourth, and Wan Ming is first."
Wan Ming is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He has a cheerful personality. He frowned and said to Sanshui, "Can I choose again? I really don't want the first place!"
The other three guests couldn't help but burst out laughing, because the first performance was indeed a bit miserable, and by the end of the performance, the audience might have even forgotten what the performance was about.
But there is definitely no chance to choose again.
"Next, please go to your lounge and wait for the players to arrive."
Sanshui made his final remarks, and the guests began to take action.
The lounge is a room outside the studio. Four rooms are connected together, but the sound insulation is very good.
"See you later!"
"Hahaha, see you later."
“I don’t know if any group will choose me.”
"I wish they would all come to my room!"
The guests exchanged a few words and then went into the lounge.
The lounge is a room specially designed for guests. It has sofas, snacks, and various musical instruments such as guitars and pianos. There are also many photos of guests on the walls.
Of course, in addition to the photographer, there is also a follow-up director in the room who is responsible for asking questions to the guests.
In order to present a better program effect, the program team will cut off the voice of the director in the post-editing process to make the guests' words sound more natural.
For example, right now, in Yan Xuewei's room, the director asked her:
"Xuewei, what type of players do you prefer?"
Yan Xuewei is 32 years old this year. She is an all-round singer with both creative ability and singing skills. She is a mixed-race of Chinese and American, with outstanding appearance and figure. She has many fans at home and abroad.
And she has another characteristic, which is that she likes to have relationships with men who are younger than her, and she does not shy away from making the relationship public.
Just after the Chinese New Year this year, she caused a sensation on the Internet because she officially announced that she had a new boyfriend who was ten years younger than her.
This style of behavior has also supported many marketing accounts.
When asked about following the director, Yan Xuewei replied directly: "I like contestants with strong creative abilities, such as Bai Xingjian."
The director raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Is it really just because of his creative ability, not because he is handsome?"
"Of course it's because he's more handsome."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xuewei burst into laughter and waved his hands, saying, "That's not the case. I just really admire his creative ability."
The director looked unconvinced and asked, "How many groups do you want to come to your lounge?"
Yan Xuewei picked up the guitar and started strumming it, saying with a smile, "I hope everyone can come to my room."
In the lounge next door, He Ensheng was facing the same problem.
This person is a pure foreigner from South Korea. He speaks Chinese very fluently with almost no accent.
If you didn't know his background in advance and asked someone to chat with him, it would be almost impossible to tell that he was a foreigner.
He Ensheng wore a black cap and looked like he wanted to be cool, but he broke into a big grin as soon as he opened his mouth, ruining his image by half:
"I like contestants who are more excited and groups that have more explosive performances on stage. And I think such contestants will like me too."
While the guest singers were answering questions, the four groups of mentors from "New Era of Heavenly Group" also entered the observation room.
There are four display screens in the observation room, showing the scenes in the lounges of the four guest singers.
But none of this matters. What matters is that the coffee table in front of the sofa is piled with all kinds of snacks and fruits.
In the camera, a funny scream was heard, followed by a "hahaha" laugh.
It vividly illustrates the idea that one can hear someone's voice before seeing him.
After the laughter, Qiao Xi, wearing a denim casual outfit, appeared on the screen. She smiled and said, "This is how you make a good first impression~"
Suning, dressed as a couple, followed closely behind, and the two of them sat down on the leather sofa in the center.
Qiao Xi lay on the back of the sofa, opened his hands, and said to the camera with a smile:
"The melon master is here! Today we don't have any pressure, no responsibility, we just eat melons the whole time!"
As he was talking, Suning picked up the watermelon plate on the coffee table and fed him the cut red watermelon flesh.
The reason is simple: the Bird and Fish Team no longer has a group, so both of them are very relaxed today.
"Hello hello~"
While Qiao Xi and Suning were eating watermelon, another person walked into the observation room.
Seeing the two people eating happily, Gu Zetao walked past with a smile, sat on the adjacent sofa, and said:
"Eat melons, eat melons."
Qiao Xi and Su Ning laughed and handed over the watermelon plate. Gu Zetao picked up a piece with a toothpick.
Not long after, Lin Qingying and Xu Wenzhou also came here one after another. Then, the broadcast sounded in each lounge and observation room at the same time:
"The first group to make the selection has already set off."
Hearing this, the instructors in the observation room perked up and looked at the screen.
"Which group?"
"This is... GoldenCold!"
"Xiao Gu, who do you think they will choose?"
"It should be He Ensheng." Gu Zetao smiled, "Yan Xuewei and Wen Xin are also possible."
Xu Wenzhou glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's impossible for Wan Ming to do that."
Qiao Xi also smiled: "I feel that there are not many contestants in Qianjiang Band who can hold on. I feel that no contestant may choose Wan Ming today."
Lin Qingying nodded in agreement: "It's true that the band is not easy to put together. It looks like there will be a fight over the guest singers later."
Lin Qingying was a little worried. Wen Xin, Yan Xuewei and He Ensheng could all be considered musicians, so there would be no problem in asking them to help sing.
But Qianjiang Band?
Is there any program that invites a band to perform as guest singers?
"A New Era of Heavenly Group"?
So in Lin Qingying's eyes, the program team was deliberately creating a show effect by making two groups compete for a guest singer on the scene.
Currently, three of the top four teams are members of her team, so this situation is very likely to happen in her team.
The program crew is so heartless!
Lin Qingying curled her lips and continued to watch the live broadcast screen.
Wang Yaqi, Li Zhenxi and Lin Hailun wandered around the corridor and finally entered Wen Xin's room.
"Hello hello~"
"Brother Xin, Brother Xin~"
"Hello Yaqi! Hello Zhenxi! Hello Helen!"
The four of them greeted each other politely and then sat on the sofa together.
"The one who was chosen was Xin."
In the observation room, Gu Zetao was quite surprised.
"Wenxin is not bad either. GoldenCold and he are actually a good match." Xu Wenzhou expressed his opinion.
At this time, the broadcast voice sounded again: "The first combination has been selected."
Hearing this voice, Yan Xuewei, He Ensheng and Wan Ming were all a little surprised.
"Huh? Aren't you going to tell me which group selected which guest?"
"The production team is a bit messy."
"Can I open the door and take a look?"
After a while, the broadcast sounded again:
"The second group has set off."
This time, it was the Galaxy Girl who made the choice.
The instructors almost guessed their choice, Yan Xuewei.
"Why does Xue Wei look a little disappointed?"
"Hahaha, maybe the person I see when I open the door is not Bai Xingjian."
After a discussion, the mentors chose the band Legend.
"Who will they choose? Xue Wei or Wen Xin?"
"It's all possible."
"It looks good now."
"Qingying, with so many members on your team, you're going to have a headache soon." Qiao Xi said to Lin Qingying with a smile.
Lin Qingying sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. It depends on their own choice."
As expected by the mentors, Legend band chose Wen Xin.
When GoldenCold was seen in the room, the scene was a little awkward.
It’s just that everyone has been on the show for a long time, so they were able to adjust pretty well, and after a while they were all sitting on the sofa happily chatting and joking.
Wen Xin was the first to open the conversation. He said to Legend and the other two:
"The song 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies' is very nice. I have listened to it several times."
Hearing this, Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai were quite surprised, but they did not take credit for themselves and all gave the credit to Bai Xingjian.
Wen Xin smiled and said, "Bai Xingjian is really amazing. He wrote this song really well, but you guys sang it well too."
Listening to their conversation, Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun felt like burrowing underground.
It was clearly Bai Xingjian who was mentioned, but why did it feel like a critical hit was dealt to them?
……
He Ensheng was a little depressed at this time. Three groups had already made their choice, but his room was empty except for him.
He looked at the camera and said, "Is it true that no group would choose me? Am I going to be a loner?"
"Alas, I feel that the probability of the last group choosing me is not very high."
"If no group chooses me, can I call it a day?"
He Ensheng immediately started mumbling mode, but Wan Ming, who was in the same situation as him, was in a completely different state.
Wan Ming was already sitting on the sofa, with his eyes closed, looking like he was meditating.
Because in his opinion, no other group would enter this room, so he might as well meditate for a while to calm his mind.
The director who was filming him couldn't help laughing but didn't disturb him.
"The last group has set off."
At this time, the broadcast sounded again, and the instructor in the observation room watched the big screen intently.
"The Phoenix is coming!"
Qiao Xi took the potato chips in his hand and put them into his mouth one by one, saying as he ate:
"He Ensheng will definitely not choose her, so the only options are Wenxin and Xuewei. Bai Xingjian has written so many rock songs recently, so he won't choose Wenxin too, will he?"
Gu Zetao stared at the broadcast screen and nodded: "It's possible, but I think Xue Wei's chance is higher."
"I also think they will choose Xue Wei." Xu Wenzhou looked at Lin Qingying and asked, "Qingying, what do you think?"
"I'm not sure, but it should be similar to what you said. Xiaobai and Shiqi should choose between Wenxin and Xuewei."
Lin Qingying touched her hair, feeling a little depressed.
No matter which one Xiaobai and Shiqi choose, there will eventually be a situation where they compete for the guest performers.
Moreover, on one side is the Legend band, and on the other side is the Galaxy Girls. It is a situation that Lin Qingying does not want to see at all.
However, just when she was worried, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi knocked on Wan Ming's door.
"Am I seeing right? They are knocking on Wan Ming's door?" Qiao Xi was shocked.
Xu Wenzhou was also shocked, but soon he smiled: "They have ideas! They have ideas! These two little guys have great ideas!"
Gu Zetao stared slightly, his expression quite surprised: "Anyway, I didn't expect them to choose Qianjiang Band."
Lin Qingying was surprised and delighted, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "I hope Xiaobai and Shiqi didn't misread the information on the doorplate."
……
"Boom boom boom!"
The door of the room suddenly opened, and Wan Ming, who was meditating, was startled and trembled all over.
However, no one in the room laughed out loud, because it was not just Wan Ming who was frightened. The cameraman and the director were also frightened.
The director stared at the door in amazement, and then saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman push the door open and enter.
If it’s not Fenghuang Yufei, then who else could it be?
Wan Ming stood up in surprise, and quickly came up to the two people, and asked with a smile: "You didn't go to the wrong place, did you? Don't tell me that you two just came to say hello and then leave, okay?"
