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

Chapter 30: All Eyes Focus on Hangzhou

With the finals approaching, everyone is keeping busy.

Ye Yiqian, Lin Shuang, Ji Minjia, and Ding Ding all locked themselves in the hotel, repeatedly putting the cassette tape into the tape recorder.

Listening to songs, choosing songs, singing songs...

Repeatedly.

From dawn to dusk.

The four of them finally fell into a deep sleep, exhausted, as the clock struck Tuesday.

……

at the same time.

Fans who followed the Super Girl competition also ushered in a grand celebration.

Since the live broadcast ended yesterday, many people are still immersed in the atmosphere of the competition. Some are discussing it with their colleagues at work, while others are talking about it with their classmates at school.

Some even spent the entire day battling it out on online forums and message boards.

The entire Super Girl forum was in complete chaos, with people campaigning for votes, hurling insults, declaring war, discussing, watching the spectacle, and mocking... everywhere was filled with the tense atmosphere before the finals.

Zhang Liangying's fan club

Each refresh reveals more than a dozen new posts.

among them.

A battle post was made by a fan of Li Yuchun.

"Zhang Liangying is trash; all she does is rely on men!"

"Let's meet in the finals, and I'll show you how Li Yuchun defeats Zhang Liangying!"

"Without Shen Qing, what is she worth?"

"His singing is nowhere near as good as Li Yuchun's. He should go home and farm."

"..."

There were also posts from Zhang Liangying's fans soliciting votes, as well as some posts showing off her singles and ringtones.

Each post receives many replies.

The most exciting post was the one pinned by the forum moderator: 【We only love Liangying! Liangying fans, please use all your connections to cast your precious vote for Liangying!】

"I love Liangying! I've already asked over 30 relatives and friends to vote for her. Liangying will definitely win!"

"All 56 students in the class supported it."

"Get rid of the tomboy, Liangying, you're the most beautiful!"

"Liangfen (fans of Liangying) must cheer you on! Whether Liangying can win the championship depends on you."

"Aaaaaah... I really want to know what Liangying is doing now. I haven't seen her for a whole day, and I still have to endure more than five more days, sob sob sob..."

"Hey fans, are you going to Hangzhou this Saturday for a campaign event organized by the Zhejiang University Tianci Music Society? Leave your QQ number if you're interested, let's start forming teams now!"

"..."

The same scene was happening in Li Yuchun's fan forum, He Jie's fan forum, Zhou Bichang's fan forum, Zhao Jingyi's fan forum, Huang Yali's fan forum... The fans were even more enthusiastic than the contestants.

……

The next morning, Tuesday.

Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying practiced "Until the End of the World" and "Rain Butterfly" repeatedly on the hotel rooftop.

I didn't return to my room until the sun was high in the sky.

But I received a call from President Yu of Tianyu Entertainment right after I finished showering.

Damn!

Sure enough, it came.

Shen Qing knew that Tianyu would definitely make Zhang Liangying sign a contract before the finals began, as they would not allow someone who hadn't signed a contract to enter the national finals.

"Mr. Yu, we..."

"Shen Qing, listen to me. If you don't sign a contract, it's hard to guarantee you won't be eliminated in the Hangzhou regional finals. You understand what I mean, right..."

The final round this weekend will be overseen by notaries from the Zhejiang Provincial Notary Office. The SMS votes will be counted under their supervision, so there shouldn't be any unexpected issues.

Shen Qing is not worried that Zhang Liangying will not make it into the top three.

Even if she is sent to the PK stage by three judges, Zhang Liangying has a high probability of winning.

But the national finals are different.

There won't be any notaries from the notary office in the earlier elimination rounds; they can just report any SMS vote count.

Moreover, if EE-Media were even more ruthless and changed the elimination rules, Zhang Liangying could very well be eliminated in the first round with the lowest number of votes.

This is the entertainment industry...

There's nothing they wouldn't dare to do, only things you can't imagine.

This is exactly what Shen Qing is worried about.

Although Zhang Liangying could have made a name for herself even without winning the Super Girl competition, debuting as the champion would have made her future path much easier and provided her with more resources.

"Mr. Yu, Zhang Liangying actually wants to sign a contract, but she feels that ten years is a bit long and wants to change it to three years."

“Three years is impossible, Shen Qing. This is the last time I'm informing you. I've given you enough time to consider. You've already seen what happened to He Zhuoyan…”

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qing put away the recorder.

That guy surnamed Yu is shameless indeed.

But he ran into Shen Qing, who was already on guard; it was still uncertain who the hunter was.

Zhang Liangying: "Qing, what should we do? Should we sign?"

Shen Qing: "Of course! The other 14 contestants who made it to the national finals have all signed up. If you don't sign up, you'll likely be eliminated in the first round."

Jane Zhang: "They are so bad."

Shen Qing: "Don't worry about these things, just focus on singing, leave the rest to me."

Shen Qing's plan is now very clear: first sign this 'invalid contract,' and then get the benefits and resources he deserves from Tianyu.

As for the contract termination after the finals, there's no need to worry. With the evidence of threatening recordings and loopholes in the contract, Tianyu Media is bound to lose.

Is the Zhejiang University legal team just messing with you?

……

Time flies by.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few days, the atmosphere in Hangzhou and Chengdu has become increasingly tense, with news reports of fans taking to the streets to campaign for votes appearing frequently.

There were even scenes of two groups of fans arguing with each other.

A male fan from Chengdu broke down in tears in front of the media, denouncing the Liangfen (Liangfen) fans for bullying him.
Hmm? Li Yuchun has male fans? That's really rare!

"Yesterday, Zhang Liangying's fans went too far, bullying us fans, and we fans just swallowed our anger."

"Today, for Li Yuchun, we have no choice but to fight to the death, even if it means our lives!"

While fans were busy supporting their idols, the contestants' parents and relatives were also busy, having traveled to Hangzhou or Chengdu to prepare for the finals.

The 10 contestants from the two competition zones haven't had a break since Tuesday, spending almost every day rehearsing and practicing in the studio, or filming videos outside.

Even Zhang Liangying's mother filmed three or four short videos.

Because Zhang Liangying was busy in the studio, she asked Shen Qing to take Zhang Guiying for a stroll around West Lake. Zhang Guiying grew to like Shen Qing more and more the more she looked at him.

All I could ask was: When are you and Liangying getting your marriage certificate?
……

At 8:30 p.m., Shen Qing, Zhang Liangying, and Zhang Guiying sat in their hotel room, quietly waiting for the Chengdu regional finals to begin.

Zhang Liangying: "Shen Qing, who do you think will win the championship in the Chengdu division?"

Shen Qing: "It should be Li Yuchun. She has a lot of fans. You'd better be careful if you run into her in the finals."

Zhang Liangying: "Hehe, I'm not afraid of her at all. I have Shen Qing, does she?"

Zhang Guiying burst out laughing.

She hadn't seen her daughter with this proud and aloof look in so many years.

soon.

The live stream from Chengdu has begun.

Hosts Li Xiang and Hu Xiao took the stage to introduce the judges and the competition rules.

Today's three judges are He Jiong, Shunzi, and Chang Kuan, and the five finalists are Li Yuchun, He Jie, Feng Jiamei, Wen Yao, and Zhang Li.

As expected, Li Yuchun overwhelmingly won the championship with the most SMS votes.

He Jie was the runner-up.

The third place went to Feng Jiamei.

The end of this live broadcast marked the conclusion of the 2005 Super Girl regional finals, with only Hangzhou remaining to host the competition.

All eyes across the country on the Super Girl competition were focused on Hangzhou.
