Chapter 7 His face turned green
Lin Qingying's singing voice is fascinating and intoxicating, but it's a pity that the opening show is a collaborative stage for all the mentors. She sang a short paragraph and then ended the performance.

Just as the contestants on the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room were still enjoying the performance, the lights suddenly hit the end of the stage and a slender figure slowly walked out of the passage.

The style of the barrage in the Xinghuo live broadcast room suddenly changed.

"High energy ahead!"

"Yi Qi Jue Chen!"

"Nuclear alert!"

"All rise!"

The strange comments and unclear figures made many viewers feel confused.

The next second, a figure walked out of the light, and the camera took a full-body close-up, and the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly boiled over.

"Information, information!"

"Gu Zetao! Gu Zetao! Gu Zetao!"

"Oh, what a handsome boy."

"Ahhh! He's so handsome that it's suffocating me!"

"AWSL!"

The second mentor to appear was Gu Zetao, 4 years old this year, a member of the world-renowned boy band eVERX. He has now left the group and returned to China to develop his career. He is the mentor with the most active fans and the highest popularity.

The screams at the scene were several times louder than before, and many female contestants’ voices were almost hoarse.

Gu Zetao’s popularity is largely due to his extremely good looks and his figure that is comparable to that of a clothes rack, but these are not enough. After all, who in this circle doesn’t have a good-looking appearance?

Therefore, what attracts his fans most is his strong business ability.

He has been in the boy band 4eVERX for six years and has experienced several large-scale global tours and countless performances on stage. His personal abilities are impeccable.

Look, Gu Zetao sang and danced rap to the music in a very K-pop style, and his voice was very stable with the microphone on without any tremor.

Although the breathing sounds are a bit heavy sometimes due to the big movements, the merits outweigh the flaws and the male contestants present were all amazed by the performance.

"As expected of someone from 4eVERX, his abilities are beyond reproach."

"Not only is he handsome, he can also dance so well and sing so steadily. I am really impressed."

"Yeah, why is the gap between people so big?"

"I'm sorry, I thought you were lip-syncing before, but after seeing you live today, I realized you were actually singing for real... You're awesome!"

Amidst warm applause and screams, Gu Zetao quietly left the stage and the third mentor came on stage.

The magnetic voice that combines both strength and softness, and the highly recognizable tender singing style, brought back the atmosphere that had just fallen.

Xu Wenzhou, 55 years old this year, is the most experienced and oldest tutor.

He debuted as the runner-up in the National Youth Singer Contest at the age of nineteen. He has now been active in the music scene for thirty-six years, contributing many well-known music. He has a strong composing ability and a unique sense of melody. He is a well-deserved top male singer and evergreen in the Chinese music scene.

He sang several theme songs for martial arts dramas, one of which, "Nan Zhi Dao", is widely regarded as one of the most difficult songs to cover in history.

Young boys and girls who once dreamed of being martial arts heroes grew up listening to his songs.

At this time, a familiar song sounded, and the audience in the live broadcast room and the contestants on the scene all recalled their youth.

“I grew up listening to this song!”

"Hiss~ This feeling..."

"I have goose bumps all over my body!"

"Back then, whenever this song sounded, even if I was holding a branch I picked up from the roadside, I would still be the unrivaled Sword God of Shilipo!"

"Then the cauliflowers in the ten miles are all headless, right?"

"Forget cauliflower, there's not even any onions..."

After a brief reminiscing, the final mentor came on stage.

This time there were not just one person, but two, a man and a woman.

The male tutor is mature, handsome, and tall. His name is Suning.

The female tutor is beautiful, elegant and charming. Her name is Qiao Xi.

They are not old, the former is 37 and the latter is 35. They are the most representative boy-girl combination in the country, a famous model couple in the entertainment industry, and the object of envy and admiration of boy-girl combinations below the stage.

[Birds and Fish] is the name of their group, [Golden Boy and Jade Girl] and [National Group] are the public's praises for them.

The song sung by Suning and Qiao Xi is a love song that has recently become popular on the Xinghuo short video. As they are a real couple, the atmosphere on the stage is full, the sweetness is 100%, and the hormones are instantly overflowing.

Some of the designed stage movements made the contestants and the audience watching the live broadcast scream. "It turns out that only real couples can give me what I want to see (sex)"

"You two can really kiss, it's okay, really!"

"No, this is being broadcast live on the entire Internet! Are you two so intimate?"

"We've been married for nine years and have two kids at home, what do you think?"

"Now that both of them are out, who will take care of Cherry?"

"Sister, take care of it."

"what?!"

The two people on the stage give off a sense of déjà vu of Lee Seung-hyun and Qi Wei, so sweet and sexy.

It’s a pity that the performance was too short and it ended before everyone had enough.

Amid the applause that resounded throughout the studio, the lights changed, and the host Tang Miao and the other three mentors slowly returned to the center of the stage to deliver their opening speeches along with Su Ning and Qiao Xi.

After a brief speech, Tang Miao took over the topic and continued to host:
"The next step is the grouping phase that everyone is most concerned about. Do you remember the bracelets that the production team gave to your group representatives?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many contestants raised their hands.

Bai Xingjian looked at the black bracelet on his left hand and felt his heart beating faster.

“So this is how we group them?”

"That should be it." Feng Shiqi looked down.

The bracelet is black, and apart from the four words [Phoenix Flying], nothing else can be lit up. I don’t know what the program crew is up to.

Tang Miao's voice sounded at the right time: "Please pay attention to the stage. The grouping rules will be announced soon."

Upon hearing this, the contestants all looked towards the stage and listened attentively.

Tang Miao said: "Next, lights of different colors will be shone on the instructors. At that time, the bracelets you wear will also light up in different colors. If the color is the same as that of a certain instructor, it means that your group will face the assessment of this instructor."

On the stage, the distance between the mentors has widened, and only Suning and Qiao Xi are still standing together. They will work as a whole to assess and guide the contestants together.

“The wristbands cannot be exchanged, and there are staff checking them at the entrance.”

"Contestants must abide by the rules. If you violate the rules, we may directly disqualify you and put you on the program team's blacklist."

"Please don't take any chances!"

At this point, Tang Miao's tone became stern and he became serious.

Below the stage, the contestants looked at each other in bewilderment.

They hadn't thought of changing the bracelets yet, but the program crew actually thought of it for them first.

But of course this cannot be done unless someone wants to create a show effect.

"Okay, the rules have been announced. Please look at the instructor!"

With a "clang", the lights came on and the stage suddenly became colorful.

The instructor on the far left is Lin Qingying, and the light falling on her is blue.

Then there is Gu Zetao, green.

Next is Xu Wenzhou, yellow.

Finally, there are Suning and Qiao Xi, they are purple.

The mentors looked at each other with friendly smiles on their faces.

Tang Miao introduced the details and then officially entered the moment of announcing the groupings:
"Everyone should know what colors the mentors are. Now, please focus on the bracelets of your group representatives."

"Three...two...one! Look at the bracelet!"

The lights in the auditorium dimmed, and then the purple, yellow, blue and green colors lit up like the bright aurora.

Cheers, screams, and wailing followed one after another.

In a corner, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's faces turned green, in a physical sense.

The bracelet lit up green, indicating that they would face Gu Zetao's assessment.

He is the mentor that Bai Xingjian least wants to face.

Looking at the two people with green light on their faces, the players around them showed expressions of either gloating, surviving a disaster, or regret.

What two unlucky little bastards!
