Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 7 The Cake Snatcher is Coming
The mentors' appearance session ended quickly, and then we entered the main topic of today. The audition rules are roughly as follows:
The contestants will go on stage in batches to be assessed by random producers. The assessment content is a cappella singing. If they can get a gold necklace from the producer, they will be considered to have passed the assessment and successfully advanced to the next round of the program.

It is worth mentioning that among the more than 700 contestants who came to the scene through the online selection of the program, only 100 can get the gold necklace. The elimination rate is much higher than that of the South Korean talent show that Shen Juan just participated in.

But Shen Juan himself didn't feel anything.

After all, he knew very well that many of the more than 700 rappers were rap enthusiasts who were deliberately put in by the program team to make up the numbers.

There was no chance for them to advance to the next round.

To put it bluntly, the a cappella skills of these people are so poor that they can't even get half a second of footage in the main film:

The program team may be worried that it will hurt the audience's ears or make the audience feel that rappers are very abstract.

So competing with these scumbags for the promotion spot is as easy as kicking a stray dog to death^^
Shen Juan was not afraid at all.

He is already thinking about his opponents in the next few rounds.

The contestants will compete in batches, with fifty contestants in each round.

Three groups of mentors took turns to conduct the assessment.

Shen Juan got the number 777, which seemed to be very late, but the program team called people in no particular order, so he had no way of judging when exactly he would go on stage.

Unlike the people around him, Shen Juan did not feel nervous at all while waiting to go on stage.

He remembered the lyrics of the song he was going to sing later very clearly; he had heard it many times in his previous life.

In addition, for some unknown reason, he felt that his memory had greatly improved after traveling through time.

So at this moment he was not panicking at all, but instead had time to observe those potential competitors.

For example, there is a rapper who looks very stylish when he wears a white hooded sweatshirt and a white baseball cap with the brim pulled down very low so that others cannot see his face.

If you don't have the ability to back up that arrogant attitude that looks down on everyone, wouldn't you be just an idiot?

In addition, there was a masked man who was taking the test in very unfluent Mandarin and a fat man with dreadlocks who looked angry and violent, which also made Shen Juan feel that there was something going on.

There are indeed experts, and quite a few of them.

But there are not many top masters who are truly threatening.

Very normal.

After all, the big names in small circles have a high opinion of themselves and often look down on mainstream programs produced by formal platforms such as Kiwi, so they naturally won’t lower their status to participate in the competition.

So Shen Juan gradually lost interest in continuing to listen.

He was afraid that listening too much would affect himself.

There was no solution. This group of enthusiasts was really too abstract. Shen Juan even suspected at one point that they might be temporarily short of people and had to recruit some strong men from the program crew to make up the numbers!
The more you play chess with a bad chess player, the worse you get.

This is noise pollution.
Listening to it for too long will really make your ears dirty.

However, not long after, the sudden discussions around him drew Shen Juan's attention back to the scene.

It turned out that Wu Jiaheng asked the contestants to sing a freestyle song, which is an improvisation.

This is very popular in foreign hip-hop circles, and can intuitively and comprehensively measure and demonstrate a rapper's basic skills, vocabulary, and improvisation ability.

But you have to know that not every rapper is good at freestyle, so this operation obviously caused tension and dissatisfaction among some contestants in the audience.

Moreover, our international idol Jiaheng's standards for chains are constantly changing.

For example, there was a contestant who sang terribly, but because he said he was Meghni and came to the show to prove that idols can bring strength to fans and help fans become better versions of themselves, he got a gold necklace.

Let Shen Juan in the audience call it crazy
This blatant backdoor behavior also shocked and made the previously eliminated contestants furious.

"I really don't understand what Wu Jiaheng's selection criteria are. He keeps changing them. If you can advance just by being his fan, then I don't think there's any need to continue participating in such a program." "Before I came here, I thought this was a program that was purely based on strength, but now I don't think so anymore."

"Let me just say one thing, don't get involved with those so-called popular anchors, popular idols, etc. Don't get involved with them, they will die very quickly. What is true is always true, and what is false is always false." The man with a crooked mouth said to the camera in front of him in a very arrogant tone.

His identity is indeed a popular idol, and Shen Juan, who was sitting not far away, just raised his eyebrows with disdain after being affected by the map cannon, and did not respond.

This scene was captured accurately by the camera.

Old audiences with a keen sense of variety shows know that The Rap of China's chief director Che Che is probably considering arranging a script for the two of them to fight with each other in order to stimulate the popularity of the show.

And this is exactly the effect Shen Juan wants.

It is not terrible to have conflicts and contradictions with others.

What is really scary is that no one pays attention and no one cares.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and it is better to be a black celebrity than to be a bastard.

In the era of traffic, income comes from topics.

Next it was Shen Juan's turn.

"Number 777 Shen Juan, come on stage to take the test."

Shen Juan stood up when his number was called, adjusted his hair and coat, and then walked towards the examination venue.

Maybe it was because he was really handsome, or maybe it was because Le Hua had explained the situation to Kiwi in advance and the program crew wanted to make a fuss about his position as the center of South Korea. Shen Juan, who had an excellent sense of camera, quickly noticed that at least four cameras were pointed at him at this moment.

This made him somewhat happy and also somewhat proud.

He gradually discovered that he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being at the center of the crowd, with the world focusing on him.

Maybe I was born to do this job, Shen Juan thought so and came to producer Wu Jiaheng.

"Hello, producer."

"Hello."

Seeing up close the popular contestant Shen Juan, whom the program crew had asked him to take care of in advance, Wu Jiaheng's pupils hidden under his sunglasses shrank slightly uncontrollably.

Even though I have seen many handsome men and beautiful women over the years, I have to admit that the guy in front of me is really good-looking.

No wonder it has sparked such a large-scale and frequent heated discussion in the South Korean fan circle where people obsessed with looks are everywhere.

It seems like there is a newcomer in the circle to share the cake. I just hope he is just a show-off that looks good but is useless.

After adjusting his mentality, Wu Jiaheng forced a cool smile and said, "You look quite handsome today. Your clothes are pretty good. They suit my taste."

"Is he an artist who has officially debuted?"

Shen Juan shook his head: "I participated in some talent shows before, but I didn't make it to debut as a group in the end."

"Is it because I lack a bit of luck?"

"Maybe." Shen Juan shrugged, as if smiling, "But it could also be that they are just unlucky."

Wu Jiaheng was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing.

"I really like your confidence, and I hope you can have the strength to match it."

"It will happen." Shen Juan raised the corner of his mouth.

Wu Jiaheng raised his eyebrows, "Then let's get started."
