Chapter 15 Who Supports Whom

"Studio No. 26, instructor Lin Qingying's assessment site, 6 groups have passed, and there are still groups left to perform."

"Studio No. 24, instructor Xu Wenzhou's assessment point, 4 groups have passed, and the remaining have not yet performed."

"Studio 27, National Group Birds and Fish Assessment Point, 7 groups have passed, and are left to perform."

"Scout Second Class, [Three Sixty-Seven] reporting in!"

"Okay! Where is the data report of our live broadcast room? [lookav]?"

"【lookav】Here! We have 11 groups that have passed, and there are 2 groups left to perform!"

In Gu Zetao's live broadcast room, some strange comments flashed by, all from the mentor's silly fans.

The display of statistical data made other viewers in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

After half an hour.

The auditions in the four studios were all over, and the contestants and mentors who remained on site returned to Studio No. 1.

The host Tang Miao had been waiting here for a long time. After the mentors and contestants had stood still, he raised the microphone and said:

"After nearly four hours of auditions, a total of 94 groups stood out and successfully passed the mentor assessment! Let us give the warmest applause to ourselves! To our mentors! To the on-site staff! And to the audience in the live broadcast room!"

Sanshui's voice was still full of passion. The contestants, mentors, and staff on the side all applauded, and warm applause suddenly rang out in the studio.

Subsequently, more detailed data was released.

Under Lin Qingying's assessment, 28 groups passed the audition.

Xu Wenzhou has 25 groups.

Suning and Qiao Xi are the 29th combination.

Gu Zetao has the least, with 12 combinations.

When these data were released, Lin Qingying and several other mentors looked at Gu Zetao with surprise.

This guy is pretty strict.

Facing their gazes, Gu Zetao smiled politely, but he was also a little surprised in his heart.

The gap seems a bit big.

Many contestants at the scene also felt a sense of surprise as if they had survived a disaster.

Fortunately, I was not assigned to Gu Zetao's group!

Otherwise they might not be here at this moment.

The contestants from other groups all looked at the combination that successfully broke through Gu Zetao's assessment.

Just as they were secretly surprised, they suddenly saw a face that was beyond their imagination.

"Bai Xingjian?! Wasn't he eliminated?"

“Fuck! What’s going on? Even Shanhai has left, but he’s still here?”

"Don't exaggerate. Even if Bai Xingjian is not very good, he is from GoldenCold. And the pretty girl next to him doesn't look ordinary."

"That's right. Only if he stays can he and GoldenCold continue to create show effects."

Some contestants who knew Bai Xingjian better were talking about it, and it was obvious that they did not expect this guy to pass the audition under Gu Zetao's assessment.

"I believe everyone's hearts are filled with joy and excitement at this moment, but..."

Sanshui's voice sounded again, tugging at the contestants' hearts:

"Passing the audition is only the first step in the program. Next, you will face the joint assessment of four groups of mentors!"

"On the next stage, if you get the approval of two or more groups of mentors, you will be promoted successfully. Otherwise, you will be eliminated."

"These are the rules for the next round of assessment. There are still seven days left. I hope everyone will prepare well! I look forward to your wonderful performance!"

When everyone was caught off guard, Sanshui told them the rules of the second season of "The New Era of Heavenly Group".

The contestants looked at each other and it took them a while to react.

Four groups of tutors jointly assess?

Is it considered a successful promotion only if you get the approval of two or more groups of mentors?

This……

How should I put it? You say this rule is difficult, but it doesn’t seem that difficult.

If you say it is simple, it seems not so simple.

In short, it is hard to describe and is full of unknowns.

After the rules were announced, the auditions officially came to an end.

Sanshui held the microphone and said loudly: "Dear audience, the live broadcast of the first round of auditions of Tiantuan New Era has ended here!"

"Seven days later, at noon on April 4, we will begin the next assessment!"

"You can click [One-click reservation] in the Xinghuo live broadcast room, and there will be a message reminder when the program starts!"

"For viewers who haven't seen enough, you can look forward to the recorded version that will be released on Mango TV next Wednesday. There will be a lot of exciting content!"

"Finally, thank you all for your company for nearly four hours! See you at noon on April 4th!"

As Sanshui finished speaking, the first live broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Group" officially ended.

When the program director Hong Yang announced through a loud speaker that "live broadcast has stopped", everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The end of the live broadcast does not mean the end of the recording. There are still a series of things waiting for them, including post-interviewing and contract signing.

"Xiao Gu, hurry up, we have to go to the next event."

As soon as he walked out of the studio, Gu Zetao was pulled aside by a woman.

The woman looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with her hair tied up at the back of her head. She wore a small suit on her upper body and a black straight skirt on her lower body. She wore black stockings underneath and black high heels on her feet.

She exudes the competence and intelligence of a career woman, yet also reveals a hint of cool sexiness.

She is Gu Zetao's agent, Li Xuan.

"Ah? Sister Xuan, don't we need to record the interview?"

"Just fly back tomorrow to record. I've already told the production crew that the event in Beijing has been moved up two hours. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to rush over. It's really annoying."

Gu Zetao sighed: "I'm going to ask the director for the contestant's contact information."

Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "Which contestant? Male or female? Are you sure it's a contestant and not a mentor?"

"It's a male contestant named Bai Xingjian. The songs he made are similar to what I want to make. I think we can exchange ideas."

Li Xuan smiled: "Don't even think about it! Who are you? What's his status? You're asking for his contact information? Isn't that the wrong way?"

Gu Zetao shrugged: "It's just making a song, is it necessary to think so much?"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, "That's too much! You are the mentor and he is the contestant. There is a hierarchy between you two. Even if you want to discuss making songs with him, you have to wait until the end of the show, and you can only discuss it on the show."

Gu Zetao took off the listening device that had been turned off and said nothing more.

Because he had heard Li Xuan's arguments many times, and since it was going to be the same after returning to China, then let it be.

Anyway, Sister Xuan would never harm him.

……

The live broadcast ended around four in the afternoon.

However, when Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi came out of the Mango Radio Building, it was almost seven o'clock.

It took a long time to conduct the post-production and sign the contract.

"Ajian, from now on, my sister will have to rely on you to support her."

On the shuttle bus back to the hotel, Feng Shiqi frowned and pouted, her delicate face full of grievance and a bit of unwillingness, she was completely different from the heroic girl before.

When she signed the contract, because she was an amateur, she did not receive any appearance fee, only accommodation and transportation subsidies.

But Bai Xingjian did have it, and not a small amount. One installment was equivalent to several months' salary for her.

The program crew really treats people differently according to their situation!

"Yes, I will definitely raise him."

Bai Xingjian responded with a smile, saying that he would be sorry for the song if he didn't take good care of it, and besides, he would have to rely on this cheap sister for food in the future.

and so……

Who is supporting whom here?
　I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
