Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 16: Round of 10 to Round of 7

"Who's afraid of a woman becoming an ambitious woman?"

"Go dream, go chase, go ask a question."

"What is the difference between you and me?"

"They confine me, holding up a plaque that begs me to bow down into the dust."

"It binds my soul, its rules and regulations forcing me to endure and swallow them."

"Laugh at my future, I can't even step out of my house."

"..."

Zhang Liangying sang "The Ambitious One" over and over again. Each time, she was like a little girl waiting for her teacher's comments, waiting for Shen Qing's evaluation.

She was overjoyed when Shen Qing praised her, and smiled happily.

When Shen Qing pointed out her problem, she squatted down beside Shen Qing's legs, tilting her head back with a pitiful expression, giving Shen Qing the feeling of disciplining a young girl.

Damn!

She's so good at it.

The thrill of this training and progress was irresistible to both of them. For two days in a row, they were training... no, practicing "The Ambitious One".

The effect is obvious.

Zhang Liangying sings exceptionally well, and judging from Shen Qing's professional level, she could easily outperform the other contestants in the Hangzhou division.

but.

Practicing only one song is not enough.

Because this competition, which narrows down the top 10 to the top 7, will require at least two to three rounds of singing.

In the first round, each contestant takes turns singing for 30 seconds. Then, the three judges select the weakest contestant, and the contestant with the lowest number of votes is selected via text message. The two then compete against each other.

The loser is eliminated.

In the second round, each contestant sings a complete song, and then the judges and SMS voters select the two worst performers to compete against each other.

In the third round, everyone will sing a cappella again, and the elimination method will be the same as before.

and so.

Every round is crucial.

Shen Qing: "Liangying, I've thought of half a song these past two days. You can sing it a cappella in the third round."

Zhang Liangying: "Huh? Half a song?"

Shen Qing: "Well, since the whole song is a duet, you can only sing the female part, so it's only half a song, right?"

Zhang Liangying: "Hehe, okay, how about we sing duets together from now on?"

Comrade Xiao Zhang has gradually come to accept Shen Qing's creative talent, but she will only be truly surprised if Shen Qing produces an album for her!
As we all know, singing a cappella is a true test of skill.

and so.

The song you choose must highlight the singer's strengths.

For example, if she has a strong high note, choose songs with high notes; if she has a strong soft and heavy voice, choose songs with a lot of soft and heavy voice; if she wants to convey emotions effectively, choose songs with strong emotions.

Zhang Liangying is so versatile.

Her low and high notes, strong and weak mixed tones, breathy voice, head voice, and emotions—every characteristic is almost flawless, completely outshining other Super Girl contestants.

My previous work, "The Ambitious One," was enough to demonstrate the characteristics mentioned above.

So what should you choose for a cappella singing?
Shen Qing's answer is emotion—from *The Kingdom of Women*.

Because "The Ambitious One" has stirred up the emotions of the audience, fans and casual viewers alike have come to know that beneath Zhang Liangying's gentle appearance lies a strong heart.

At this point, we need to add another piece of firewood.

But this fire doesn't need to be too strong.

Just be gentle.

This allows fans and passersby to see another side of Zhang Liangying—she is not only a strong girl, but also has a soft side.

This is the real Super Girl.

A few days later, after the top 10 to top 7 competition ends, fans will discover that Shen Qing has given Zhang Liangying four vivid labels.

Firstly, despite being born into poverty, she persisted in pursuing her dream of singing.

Secondly, "East and West" showcases her lively and adorable girlish side;
Third, "The Ambitious One" emphasizes her inner strength;
Fourth, "The Kingdom of Women" reflects her gentle and tender nature.

Who wouldn't love a player like that!

Shen Qing felt happy just thinking about how her future fans would cry their eyes out after learning about Zhang Liangying's story.

Look, I created all of this myself!

……

When Zhang Liangying saw the lyrics and heard Shen Qing sing "Daughter Kingdom" again, she was completely captivated, her eyes sparkling.

"Qing, you're amazing! How did you come up with such a great song?"

"talent!"

"Ahhh... I really want your talent too, even just a tenth of it!" "Talent is something you either have or you don't. There's no such thing as a tenth. Besides, you already have me, why would you need any more talent?"

"Hehe, that's true."

……

6 month 16 day.

The top ten contestants began to join the program team, receiving dance training and discussing the songs they would sing.

When Jane Zhang revealed two more original songs, the other nine contestants and the entire production team were in an uproar. "Is this never going to end?"

The two hosts, Wang Han and You Weiwei, as well as the three judges, Hei Nan, Zhang Lu, and Zhang Man, were all extremely surprised.

"You mean, in less than a week, Shen Qing has given you two original songs?"

"Oh my God!"

"How come Shen Qing is so fast?"

"Liangying, can you sing a cappella?"

"..."

After Zhang Liangying sang a few lines, Hei Nan nodded heavily: "Now I believe it, Shen Qing is definitely a musical genius."

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "I didn't expect him to actually produce two songs. No way... we at Taihe Wheatfield must sign this talented man."

Although Taihe Wheatfield cannot directly interfere with the signing of Super Girls, there is no rule from the program team and Tianyu that Shen Qing cannot sign a contract, right?
But Wang Han poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "President Zhang, I feel it's risky. That kid Shen Qing isn't someone who can sign a contract easily..."

You Weiwei also laughed and said, "Indeed, he... seems quite unrestrained..."

Zhang Liangying smiled but didn't say anything.

But she was also certain that Shen Qing would never sign with Taihe Wheatfield.

Zhang Lu did not give up and planned to have drinks and chat with Shen Qing in the next couple of days. If they could sign the contract, it would definitely be a great help to Taihe Wheatfield.

at the same time.

The other nine Super Girls each had their own thoughts.

"Sigh, Zhang Liangying is so lucky..."

"I envy her for having Shen Qing. Where is my Shen Qing?"

"..."

Ye Yiqian touched her phone and suddenly wanted to send Shen Qing a text message, but she didn't know what to send. After hesitating for a long time, she put her phone down.

"If only Shen Qing could write a song for me~"

"I wonder if he'd be willing..."

She thought silently.

……

6 month 19 day.

The 2005 Super Girl Hangzhou Division Top 10 to Top 7 competition is here as scheduled, and the viewership is expected to triple compared to previous episodes.

Zhang Liangying contributed at least half of the viewership ratings.

Many people came specifically because of her.

This time, Shen Qing didn't recruit any passersby to act as fans. More than a hundred of Zhang Liangying's "Liangfen" (fans of Zhang Liangying) spontaneously formed groups to come to the venue to show their support.

The number of fans is more than the other nine contestants combined.

Judging from this alone, Zhang Liangying's number of off-site audience votes will not be low, and she may have a significant lead.

After Shen Qing finished doing Zhang Liangying's makeup backstage, Ye Yiqian looked at Shen Qing expectantly and asked her to do her makeup as well.

to be frank.

This girl is quite cute and has a ladylike appearance.

However, her makeup didn't reflect this feature, so Shen Qing felt a little itchy and gave her a makeup look that highlighted her ladylike qualities.

Zhang Liangying: "Wow, Yiqian, you look so beautiful now."

Ji Minjia and the others were dumbfounded.

No!

It's just a makeup job, how come you look so different?
Ye Yiqian was overjoyed and kept thanking Shen Qing. If the production crew hadn't urged her, she would have treated Shen Qing to dinner on the spot.

【Ding】

[Reward: Ye Yiqian is extremely satisfied with your makeup. Her appearance and temperament have been improved by 100%. She feels as sweet as if she's eaten honey.]

【Favorability +200】

Shen Qing: "Holy crap, they added so much favorability?"

……

at the same time.

The two hosts, Wang Han and You Weiwei, had already taken the stage, and Shen Qing walked to the audience seats and quietly sat there waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
