Chapter 11: Eliminate the mentor? (Please vote! Please read on!)
The conference room was still silent, as those present were all well-known singers and actors of some fame.

The middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life seemed to have won the game. He smiled and looked at the people present with wise eyes. However, the beautiful female assistant opened her cherry lips in surprise behind her, making people want to taste her.

However, no one changed color because of Wang Sheng's words. This was something that an ordinary newcomer would need to go through an unknown amount of training to develop.

It can also be generally called a poker face.

"Director Wang, do you mean to let the instructor come once, and when we are undecided, we can have a real-life PK?"

Jay Chou took over the conversation humorously and gave Wang Sheng a ladder to continue.

"Of course not, Jay Chou is joking, haha."

Wang Sheng then added, "Just kidding. If this gets out, he will be accused of instigating a fight."

"Fighting is the adjective I would use to describe the following matches. It's like the ancient Colosseum, but the difference is that the contestants don't use spears, but their voices."

"But the opponents are not beasts either, they are the same people."

"as well as……"

Wang Sheng looked around and slowly uttered a piece of bombshell news.

"In the sequel to Tomorrow's Star, not only the contestants will be eliminated, but also the judges and mentors!"

The program team of Tomorrow's Star has set up 25 audition points and multiple preliminary rounds to prepare for the subsequent processes!

According to Wang Sheng's original idea, a team would be born at each audition point. A team would be composed of a varying number of seeded players, and would be led by several judges and mentors. The final winner would then be determined through multiple competitions across the country.

The idea is good, but it is difficult to implement in practice.

Not only is the network too large, it is also difficult to ensure the quality of the players for each team, and time management is also a problem that bothers Wang Sheng.

And most importantly, there are not enough judges and mentors.

In the end, Wang Sheng compromised.

The audition team was changed to four major competition areas, and the round-robin battle system was changed back to the original promotion system, thus solving the problem of insufficient mentors.

“Will the mentor also be eliminated?”

On a tablet avatar, a judge mentor asked in confusion.

"Yes." Wang Sheng confirmed without hesitation.

He knew that the specific rules would definitely offend some instructors, or even offend them.

But he still chose this rule without hesitation. Relying solely on unknown players to compete would be far from being competitive.

So Wang Sheng’s idea was to drag the mentor into the water to attract more heat and attention!
Of course, having said that.

Wang Sheng still didn't dare to hold the meeting without notifying the public. As the saying goes, "first courtesy, then force." I have given you courtesy, and there is nothing I can do if the force comes later.

“That’s quite interesting, isn’t it?”

Jay Chou couldn't help but laugh out loud, the elimination system has even been imposed on the mentors, how could it not be interesting.

"It's really interesting. Could it be that Director Wang Sheng thought we would be eliminated by the newcomers? Haha."

Different from Jay Chou's humorous laughter, these laughs were full of dissatisfaction towards Wang Sheng.

If I hadn't been eliminated, it would have been fine. But if I was the mentor myself, would I still be able to stay in this circle? I would have left the circle in disgrace.

Of course, this is also an opportunity for newcomers to become popular, an opportunity to step on the famous ones to rise to the top.

It will be a success!

Of course, everything depends on strength.

Wang Sheng, with a weathered face, also knew that this was a pioneering move. He might offend many people by saying this, but no one would leave, because leaving would mean that he was not confident enough, and no one would think that he was incompetent, and it would spread in the circle.

Once this pioneering move succeeds, he will be a figure that everyone will mention. He will earn both money and fame.

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The business card on his chest gave his identity and name.

Sun Xiaochen, a well-known composer, has created many popular songs.

He himself is not a singer, so it is not appropriate for him to be a mentor, but he has maintained close ties with many well-known singers.
However, Penguin hopes that the newcomers selected later can be favored and invite him to compose lyrics and music to make him famous. Therefore, it also made great efforts to invite him to the jury.

But he has a weird temper. Not only the songs he writes are weird, but he is also weird as a person.

"Although my main job is not singing and I am not very clear about singing techniques, it is not something that some newbies can achieve by just practicing for a year or two."

After saying that, Sun Xiaochen shook his head and laughed.

After he finished speaking, some mentors whose main job was to be singers paid close attention.

What's the matter, little brother? Just express your opinions, why do you need to bring our singer with you?

Does this make you look taller?
"Today is the preliminary round, right? I wonder how the contestant who sang the original song yesterday is doing."

Jay Chou changed the subject. Anyone who had been in the entertainment industry had more or less heard about Sun Xiaochen's pretentious personality, so he didn't want to continue.

"Original song?"

As soon as the words "original song" appeared, they instantly attracted the attention of the judges and mentors who were singers.

As the saying goes, either you have talent or you are a clown, and since he was specifically mentioned by Jay Chou, one of his peers, then he must be the former.

Unless it's really bad, so bad that Jay Chou specifically mentions it in front of professional singers just to complain about it.

But is it that serious?

Jay Chou is not a respectful title, but his real surname is Zhou and his given name is Dong.

He is not only a well-known Chinese pop singer, but also a well-known musician and actor. He has won several international awards and can be said to be a frequent visitor on the red carpet.

What is most rare is that he is a generous person, without any airs, and is easy to get along with.

Would such a person specifically mock a new singer's original song?

This is just as outrageous as saying, "I am Qin Shi Huang, V me 50 and I will give you a general."

They prefer to believe that he will give guidance and, as a senior in the singing industry, encourage new singers to create.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock... I finally waited for the bell to ring. I've already agreed to wait for you in the playground."

Jay Chou closed his eyes and hummed Li Qing's "Universal Power of Sound" casually. Although there was no background music, he still enjoyed it.

"Well, excuse me for being blunt, but I always like to label the nonsense made up by laymen as original songs. I think it's cheap."

Sun Xiaochen said bluntly, without holding back in sarcasm.

"Some newcomers always have unrealistic fantasies, thinking that they can become a big hit and surpass the public in an instant."

"Little did he know that his self-proclaimed special behavior was just a clown's trick to make people laugh."

Jay Chou calmly opened his eyes, the smile in them had disappeared.

"Isn't it because they are immature and have immature dreams that new people are called new?"

"Everyone has an immature childhood and unknown fantasies. There's nothing funny about it."

"I think Sun Zuoqu should be more tolerant towards newcomers instead of always finding faults. Seniors should always be more tolerant, right?"

"Mana?" Sun Xiaochen muttered and snorted coldly.

Although his status in the circle is not as high as Jay Chou, there is no direct bridge of interests between Sun Xiaochen and Jay Chou.

Although I won't refute directly, I won't hold back my temper either.

It's just a waste of time.

Seeing that something was not right, Wang Sheng hurriedly tried to change the topic back to the original topic, but there were only a few judges and mentors this time, and the meeting ended hastily after a short while.

Li Qing naturally didn't know that he almost became the fuse of the war between the judges and mentors, and caused the meeting to fall into a deadlock.

He only knew that the game was about to begin...
