Chapter 20 Second Live Broadcast (Please Read~)

On April 4th, the sun was shining brightly, the day was warm and the wind was gentle.

Mango Broadcasting Building.

The second live broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Group" is about to begin, and contestants from 94 groups are entering Studio No. one after another.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were walking side by side, and just as they were about to enter the studio, they ran into Wang Yaqi and her group.

Wang Yaqi glanced at him sharply and snorted coldly.

The most popular group on the Internet these days is Fenghuang Yufei. GoldenCold was suppressed so badly that, as the team leader, Wang Yaqi was naturally very unhappy.

Especially the music critic named Su Caitao, who praised Fenghuang Yufei crazily in the video as if she had received a favor, and also said that Bai Xingjian's stage performance is very likely to surpass Li Zhenxi.

Ok?
This is simply a funny thing. My wife is getting married for the second time. It's so funny, okay?
In the eyes of GoldenCold fans, such remarks were no different from praising one and stepping down the other, and fans started to attack.

But Su Caitao's fans are not pushovers either. In addition, Fenghuang Yufei has gained a lot of new fans recently, so the three groups of fans have been fighting back and forth on the Internet, directly pushing Su Caitao's reaction video to the top of the hot list.

This made some of the small groups that appeared in the video secretly happy.

Back to reality, facing Wang Yaqi's rude behavior, Feng Shiqi glared back.

She was still angry about what happened between this woman and Bai Xingjian.

If there was a chance, she really wanted to have a good chat with Wang Yaqi.

Wang Yaqi didn't know whether she felt guilty or for some other reason, but she did not confront Feng Shiqi face to face, but chose to avoid it.

Instead, Li Zhenxi glanced at Feng Shiqi, then his eyes fell on Bai Xingjian with a slight spark, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, you're wearing trendy male style. Are you going to rap again today?"

Bai Xingjian wore a white leather jacket and leather pants today, and he looked really fashionable.

"What a coincidence! We will also sing a song like this. I hope your stage performance can surpass mine." Li Zhenxi chuckled, his tone a little condescending.

In his eyes, Bai Xingjian was just a rubbish teammate who was not qualified to be considered an opponent of the same level.

However, the music critic named Su Caitao actually said that this kid’s performance would surpass his?
Who are you looking down on?

Are domestic music critics only able to attract fans by sensational topics?

There's really no hope.

"Let's wait and see." Bai Xingjian said with a smile, without any sign of concession in his words.

Su Caitao has set the bar so high, he can't let it fall behind.

Besides, he is not without the confidence.

Hearing Bai Xingjian's response, Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun looked surprised.

Is this Bai Xingjian?!
Wasn't it quite soft before?
How come you dare to go down now that there are stairs?
"Okay, okay." Li Zhenxi laughed angrily and stared at Bai Xingjian.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Seeing Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold confronting each other, the surrounding contestants were very tactful and quickly entered the studio.

Bai Xingjian was too lazy to practice squinting with a grown man, so he walked into the studio with Feng Shiqi.

Li Zhenxi whispered to himself: "It seems that the recent popularity on the Internet has given you a lot of confidence, but when you face the naked reality, can you still smile?"

The live broadcast has not started yet, but there are still cameras recording around.

What Li Zhenxi said and everything that happened before was recorded.

Hong Yang, the program director at the backstage center, couldn't help but pat his thigh and said with a smile:

"That's great! Isn't the edited trailer here? These little guys are really awesome!"

The data from the first broadcast of the edited version of "New Era of Heavenly Group" has broken the historical record of the launch of variety shows on the entire network.

Although the popularity index of this program is not ranked high in Maoyan's online popularity rankings and has not yet entered the top ten, as long as there is a hot spot, it is only a matter of time before it enters the top ten.

From the current perspective, the second breaking point has already appeared.

Li Yue, the camera operator, nodded and said, "They are really good at handling things. Now our show has a lot to offer."

"Li Yue, take off your headphones first, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a few more surprises in the live broadcast later." Hong Yang said unhappily. He could hear the song "Above the Moon" in the headphones even when he was standing next to Li Yue.

His ears are like this when he's only in his forties. What will happen when he retires and gets old?

Li Yue chuckled and said, "Let me finish listening to it. There's still time." Director Lao Lin glanced at them, then turned around silently and continued to prepare for the live broadcast.

……

In Studio No. 1, after all the contestants had taken their seats in the preparation room, another three hundred spectators entered the auditorium.

Although only the mentors will evaluate the performances in this episode, they are also indispensable as live audience members of the atmosphere group.

The time came to twelve noon, and with the order from the program director, the live broadcast room of "New Era of Heavenly Group" was officially opened.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of online viewers flooded into the live broadcast room.

"Front row, front row!"

"Wow! I miss my Taotao so much!"

"Sanshui~Long time no see!"

"I want to hear Phoenix's new song!"

"I want to, too! I foolishly set "Above the Moon" as my alarm. Now I just want to listen to a new song to get rid of the psychological trauma."

"Hahahaha you are so brave~"

The audience in the live broadcast room was talking a lot.

On the stage, Sanshui, dressed in a suit, smiled and gave his opening remarks enthusiastically.

A moment later, with his introduction and amid the applause and cheers of the audience, five mentors, Lin Qingying, Gu Zetao, Xu Wenzhou, Su Ning and Qiao Xi, came on stage.

After saying hello and chatting for a few minutes, Sanshui got back to the topic.

"As you can see, the 94 groups that have advanced from the auditions will face the assessment of all mentors today. Only if their performances are recognized by two or more mentors can they advance on today's stage. If there is only one mentor, or if they do not receive the approval of any mentor, they will be eliminated."

"Then, please invite the five mentors to take their seats and start the second assessment of the new era of the group!"

Sanshui pointed along the stage and saw a mentor seat not far in front of the stage, which was composed of four soft leather sofas.

Right above the sofa, there is a screen corresponding to each of them, which now displays [PASS] and [FALL].

Obviously, PASS means the instructor's approval, while FALL means the opposite.

The mentors took their seats one after another, and Su Ning and Qiao Xi still sat together as a group.

The camera points to the contestants in the preparation room.

There are live audiences this time, so the preparation room is an independent space with a large screen where you can see everything on the stage.

"It's about to start. I'm so nervous!"

"Nervous again? I think your group will definitely win later."

"It's not that easy this time! I need to get approval from at least two instructors to advance. It feels so difficult!"

"Yes, this is going to be a cold one."

"Well, I hope the Queen can give us a PASS as always..."

In the preparation room, the contestants were whispering to each other. The fact that the performance order was still randomly drawn this time made some contestants feel even more uneasy.

At this moment, the eight big words "Random roll call is about to begin" appeared on the big screen in the studio.

The contestants' hearts tightened, but the netizens in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, random roll call? Am I watching a university professor giving a lecture?"

"Oh my god, it's like I'm back to last year when I was in college."

"What a familiar feeling, such a familiar taste!"

"Tsk~ It's commonly known as 'The King of Hell's Call' here."

"I'm already sweating profusely..."

On the stage, Sanshui pressed the "check switch" in his hand with a smile.

The names and photos of 94 groups began to pop up on the big screen.
