Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 247 Who Cares About Cause and Effect! (1)

If Xia An can't guess what Le Ning is thinking, then he's lived in vain.

He couldn't and dared not let Le Ning withdraw from the competition. If she continued on this stage, the last bit of energy and spirit she had in her relationship would be gone.

Le Ning didn't know when he had taken her hand.

But the audience knows it.

Le Ning knew that this move would plunge Xia An into a media storm.

Xia An whispered, "Who cares?"

Le Ning pursed her lips, tears still wet at the corners of her eyes, and nodded sweetly, "Mmm."

who cares.

As the last note faded, Le Ning was to receive feedback, but Xia An did not leave the stage.

The host from the provincial entertainment channel walked over excitedly, but inwardly he was cursing, knowing he was going to have to improvise again.

The host asked if anyone recognized this person, and the audience shouted that they did.

After a few more compliments, the judges took over the microphone.

Jay Chou and Charlene Choi praised Xia An for her singing skills, and then turned their attention to Le Ning.

Before I could even give my comments, Xia An interrupted.

"I'm just here to liven things up. But I believe that even without my backup vocals, this contestant's singing skills would be enough to advance, right?"

Le Ning has advanced.

There was no mention of withdrawing from the competition from the director.

I believe the biggest selling point of the first day of the auditions has already been revealed.

Le Ning stood next to Tang Wan, but before she could say anything, she was cued by staff to go backstage for an interview.

Xia An took the initiative to approach the director.

The director thought he was there to tell him not to use this scene in the rebroadcast, and he seemed a little disappointed.

To everyone's surprise, Xia An just smiled and said, "Edit it appropriately, but be careful about the scale."

The director immediately became happy.

Xia An turned around and saw Su Yi coming towards him, and was immediately dumbfounded.

Wearing a pink ancient costume with flowing sleeves, Su Yi looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Are you leaving?

Xia An smiled wryly, "You guys are really..."

Su Yi looked at him intently and smiled, "Yingying can't sing or dance. She was supposed to perform throwing knives, but the director didn't let her. Now it's just me. Watch it."

What the hell?
Huang Yingying is going to go on stage and throw knives?!
Holy crap, Tang Xiaowan…

Xia An glanced at her attire and asked curiously, "Are you dressed like this... for a Huangmei opera performance?"

Su Yi smiled and raised an eyebrow. "You'll find out in a moment."

Xia An was stunned for a moment, and had a vague premonition.

"Can you stay and watch it all before you leave?"

"Row."

Su pointed to the number on her chest: 55.

In other words, she, Zhou Zhou (that silly girl), and Huang Yingying all actually signed up very early, or Tang Wan used her connections to move up their ranking.

Back on the sidelines, Tang Wan smacked her lips and clicked her tongue as she looked at him.

"Little Le Ning is so happy now."

Xia An shrugged.

"What about others? This live stream, with so many media outlets, has reached other fruit vendors, hasn't it?"

Xia An turned her head to look at her and smiled faintly, "If I haven't thought it through, do you think I'll go on stage?"

Tang Wan crossed her arms and asked, "Are you willing to take on the responsibility for everyone? Can you handle it?"

"If that day ever comes and all the public opinion explodes, I'm willing to bear all the attacks and do my best to minimize the possibility of a bad outcome, but you will inevitably be hurt. Xiaowan, I suddenly realize that I was very reckless and impulsive before, and I didn't plan things out properly. Do you hate me?"

Tang Wan licked her lips and smiled.

She tossed her hair and looked at the stage, then at the sea of ​​people below.

"This was originally an impulsive thing; without impulsiveness, love would never have begun."

The two ignored all the cameras and chatted freely.

Finally, Xia An suddenly asked Tang Wan, "Did you steal that song I wrote a long time ago and give it to Su Yi?" Tang Wan gave a coquettish hum and ignored him.

Xia An was speechless, and felt so angry that she wanted to pinch her cheeks.

Previously, Xia An had planned all of Zuo You's performance songs from the initial stage to the final national competition. Judging from Su Yi's appearance, if he was not mistaken, the song that Tang Wan took away was very likely the song he wrote for Zuo You's final stage performance.

It was carefully selected based on Zuo You's dance and voice.

Who would have thought…

Well, it won't take too much of a delay if I try to recall it carefully again.

And it would be nice to enjoy a stage show by the beautiful Su.

……

The performances of the next few contestants were mediocre, not too bad, but compared to Le Ning's performance, they seemed terrible, and none of them advanced.

When the music students came on stage, almost everyone passed.

For example, Le Ning's good friend Wang Yue surprisingly performed a beautiful bel canto, which was quite amazing.

This beautiful song reminded Xia An of Zhang Duoduo, the radiant girl.
-
Dongshan, the capital of Donghai Province, is the base of the program's two sponsors, Sugar Persimmon Group and Fruit Basket Weibo. A week before the official start of the talent show, the streets were already covered with advertisements.

Bus stops, bus bodies, streetlights, banners, light boxes, elevator lobbies, office buildings—in short, almost everyone in Dongshan City, with its 700 million residents, knows about this talent show that has become a hot topic online.

The auntie who buys groceries has signed up for the lottery. She will promote her daughter's name while shopping and ask for likes.

The security guard's son signed up and would secretly slip photocopied flyers under the door of residents.

For celebrities, as long as you have good talent, such as appearance or voice, you hardly need to work hard to become a celebrity. It is the fastest and most convenient way for ordinary people to cross social classes.

What nourishes them is this land that elevates artists to the highest level.

Olympic Sports Center University Town Venue.

Like elsewhere, this place was packed with people from the morning onwards.

Zhang Duoduo dragged Jin Xiaoxiao to the competition. Jin Xiaoxiao had classes and didn't plan to come. She even said that Zhang Duoduo was using Xia An's connections and was worried that she wouldn't be able to advance.
But Zhang Duoduo's real purpose was to get her best friend to participate in the competition together.

Jin Xiaoxiao felt extremely helpless, but she didn't want to refuse her good friend.

She knew that Zhang Duoduo had been in a slow psychological recovery since the Spring Festival and needed tenderness and care. Holding the number 65, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Duoduo: "Look, I can't sing or dance. I'll just be going through the motions. I won't be able to accompany you in the qualifying round, but I'll be cheering you on in front of the TV."

Jin Xiaoxiao is adorable when she smiles, and Zhang Duoduo is charming when she smiles; the two girls were destined to be photographed by the media in the crowd.

Zhang Duoduo is number 66.

It's only 10:30, just an hour and a half into the game, and we've already reached number 60.

Only eleven out of the top sixty contestants advanced, a very low success rate.

Zhang Duoduo started to get nervous.

Actually, Jin Xiaoxiao is wrong. Xia An only gave her a suggestion to participate in the competition. In fact, the two haven't been in contact for a long time.

Number 65, arrived at Jin Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Duoduo said, "Keep it up!"

Jin Xiaoxiao nervously went on stage.

She was dressed casually in jeans and a black T-shirt; her hair was unwashed, let alone her makeup.

Standing on the stage with her unassuming appearance, she resembled an inconspicuous little flower by the roadside.

But the judges' eyes lit up.

The one with the brightest eyes was Zhou Yang, who was chatting with the director backstage.

Zhou Yang was instructed by Xie Wanqing to pave the way for Zhang Duoduo.

Xie Wanqing always felt very sorry for Zhang Duoduo, but she couldn't bring herself to ask her for help. After learning from the music academy that Zhang Duoduo was going to participate in the competition, she asked Zhou Yang, the sponsor of the provincial competition, to pull strings.

Upon seeing Jin Xiaoxiao on stage, Zhou Yang's eyes darted around several times before she smiled.

"Director Wu, look, this one..."

The director released the intercom, glanced at it, and asked, "This isn't Zhang Duoduo."

Zhou Yang leaned closer and whispered with a chuckle, "Yes, her name is Jin Xiaoxiao. She looks ordinary, like a pure college student, but she actually has quite a background."

"Oh?"

"Xia An's good friend."

He emphasized the word "good".

"Oh!"

The director's eyes lit up too.
