Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Mango Broadcasting Building.

The national qualifying round is also known as the "48-hour qualifying battle".

The entire event will be broadcast live.

Working non-stop for two days.

There was not a moment to catch one's breath.

The first round just ended yesterday.

The second round of recording begins today.

Therefore, all the contestants are under a lot of pressure.

The waiting area for the athletes is no longer as bustling as it used to be.

The second round of the qualifying tournament has begun.

The remaining 8 contestants, even those from the same region, all maintained a certain distance from each other.

Because the competition has progressed to this point, everyone is a competitor.

When Wang Yihan entered, she could feel the tense atmosphere on the scene.

He was not unconventional.

I found an empty seat and sat down.

Not long after, a familiar figure suddenly entered through the door.

Wang Yihan was a little confused.

Chen Chusheng?

Why is he here?

Wasn't he the regional champion who qualified directly for the finals?

It seems his memory is indeed faulty.

Because the Xi'an division was also full of hidden talents back then.

The regional champion is Su Xing, who excels in both singing and dancing.

Instead of Chen Chusheng, who ultimately won the national championship.

The other party came in.

Wang Yihan clearly sensed the difference.

No one paid any attention when he came in.

When Chen Chusheng entered, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

Including him.

Is this the strength of a champion?

Its deterrent power is astonishing.

Chen Chusheng greeted everyone with a smile, then casually found a seat.

It was right next to Wang Yihan, without any deviation.

His mindset was completely different from that of the other contestants present.

It was clear that he didn't take the small qualifying round seriously.

I bet he's already studying their opponents in the finals, right?

Thinking of this old joke.

Wang Yihan almost burst out laughing.

Chen Chusheng noticed his unusual behavior and looked over curiously.

I didn't expect there to be someone here just like him.

He must be a player who is very confident in his abilities, right?

He nodded politely to Wang Yihan.

Wang Yihan nodded in response.

dong dong dong...

A knock came at the door.

Everyone looked over.

"Attention all contestants!"

The production crew loudly reminded:

"The show is about to begin recording, please get ready!"

The document was then sent to everyone.

"These are the rules and match schedule for this competition. Please take a close look."

"Feel free to ask any questions."

The rules are rather complicated.

It was probably designed this way intentionally for the sake of ratings.

Wang Yihan ignored it and went straight to the final match schedule.

Wang Yihan (Shudu) VS Liu Zhoucheng (Huadu)

Upon seeing her opponent's name, Wang Yihan immediately became serious.

It's not that the opponent is particularly strong.

On the contrary, among the eight contestants, this one was the "weakest" in terms of raw skill.

Logically speaking, he should have drawn the best possible lot.

However, this is ultimately a talent show.

Musical ability is just the foundation.

Popularity is king.

Coincidentally, Liu Zhoucheng, who follows the idol route, is very popular.

If you don't understand, you can refer to Gege from "Idol Producer" later on.

Of course, compared to Gege, his popularity is still far inferior.

Otherwise, Wang Yihan could have just packed her bags and gone home.

Half an hour later.

Recording has officially begun.

As the show progressed, contestants returned from the front of the stage one after another; some shook their heads and sighed, while others were overjoyed.

"Last group, please prepare!"

The staff shouted loudly.

Wang Yihan stood up.

He glanced at Liu Zhoucheng, who was brimming with confidence.

He walked calmly toward the side of the stage.

The previous group has just finished.

Chen Chusheng walked over with a triumphant air.

It looks like they won very easily.

He nodded to Wang Yihan, said "Go for it!" and then left with light steps.

Wang Yihan said thank you and then walked onto the stage.

The host is an old acquaintance, He Jiong.

Three judges sat in the audience: Bao Xiaobai, Yang Erche Namu, and Huang Yunling.

The host, He Jiong, jokingly referred to them as the "rickshaw" duo.

Two of the three are from Taiwan.

It can be seen that Taiwan's status in the Chinese music scene was still at its zenith at this time.

"Hello, host and judges. I am Wang Yihan, a contestant from the Chengdu region."

The two introduced themselves first.

Then, a lottery was held on the spot to decide who would sing first.

The result remained unchanged; Liu Zhoucheng went first as before.

Wang Yihan then returned to the candidate area on the side.

The music starts.

You can tell it's Jay Chou's "Rosemary" just by listening to the intro.

Not very wise.

This song is only one of the medium to difficult songs in Jay Chou's repertoire.

But it's easy to learn but difficult to master.

The difficulty isn't in "singing the high notes," but in "singing it the right way."

Just like Stephen Chow's nonsensical movies.

Only he can pull off that feel.

If you change the actor, it'll be so awkward you'll want to pick your toes.

as predicted.

Liu Zhoucheng jumped and danced on top of the stage, creating a great atmosphere.

But the judges below were already frowning.

Yang Erche's mother offered a scathing critique: "Liu Zhoucheng's choice of this song was unwise; he simply can't sing it properly."

Huang Yunling shook her head: "Several parts were out of tune, and I even forgot the lyrics to one part; I just made it up."

Bao Xiaobai looked rather grim, because he had been a staunch supporter of this contestant.

Unexpectedly, he pooped a huge amount.

"His stage performance was not bad." That was the only thing he could use to cover up the other person's shortcomings.

"That's true. His type is quite rare in China, and he deserves encouragement," Huang Yunling, who is also from Taiwan, agreed.

Yang Erche's mother's expression also softened slightly.

As a frequent judge on talent shows, she is more tolerant of contestants with different styles.

I overheard the judges' comments.

Wang Yihan understood where she had lost in her past life.

A few minutes later, Liu Zhoucheng finished his performance and bowed to the audience below the stage, his palms sweaty.

He was fully aware of his mistakes in forgetting his lyrics and singing off-key.

However, the judges' somewhat lenient comments restored his confidence.

Thank you for your comments, teachers!

"I will keep working hard!"

"I'll strive to bring you even better performances in the future!"

His words showed no regard for his opponent.

They acted as if they had already won, and were giving a victory speech.

Wang Yihan, standing to the side, remained calm.

Can a reborn person be affected by such petty tricks?

It's just a little bit of hardship.

Upon seeing this, the host He Jiong thought to himself, "This is bad. How can this person have such low emotional intelligence?"

He quickly stepped in to save the day: "Thank you to contestant Liu Zhoucheng for the wonderful performance."

After everyone went down.

He waved his hand enthusiastically and said:

"The next contestant is Wang Yihan from the Chengdu region!"

Let's welcome him with a warm round of applause!

applause.

Wang Yihan adjusted her breathing, took the microphone handed to her by a staff member, and walked onto the stage.

The stage lights dimmed.

Then a spotlight appeared on him.

Standing in the center of the stage, he held a microphone and nodded slightly to the backstage staff.

Then a piece of soothing music began to play.

The prelude has just begun.

The judges began to whisper among themselves.

"Why did he choose Fish Leong's 'Warmth'? It doesn't really match his style."

"What's wrong with this group of contestants? Why are they all choosing songs that don't suit them?"

"Didn't the production team offer any advice when choosing songs?"

"It's very difficult for a male singer to sing this song well!"

Bao Xiaobai made the final decision, concluding that the performance was a failure.

Liu Zhoucheng, who had just stepped into the passageway, also showed a bright smile.

The opponent made a foolish mistake.

This guarantees their advancement.
