Chapter 122: Competition System, the Program Team Makes Trouble

In the singer's rest area of ​​Xiangjiang Satellite TV's "Singing".

Shen Xiyin entered the rest room and looked around.

However, the entrance passage she took was not the first singer's passage that Fang Xing took.

She entered a spacious lounge with no living room or rooms on the second floor.

Moreover, there was already a person in the rest room, and it was Li Siqi.

"You arrived first? Have you been waiting here for a long time?" Shen Xiyin stepped forward to say hello.

She was the captain of the last "Star of Tomorrow" limited group, so her limited group contract is in the hands of Chaoyin Culture.

And Li Siqi is the captain of Chaoyin Culture’s ace group SPK, so the two are currently in the same company.

For this reason, they knew from the beginning that each other was going to participate in this season of "The Voice".

"Just arrived." Li Siqi replied casually.

Shen Xiyin walked to the sofa, observed the surrounding environment, and asked, "What are we going to do now? Our identities don't need to be kept secret, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the TV screen in front of her suddenly opened.

A shot appeared on the TV screen, and the shot was clearly in the lounge area of ​​the first singer.

"This is..." Shen Xiyin pointed at the TV screen and asked the director standing aside.

The director took out his hand card and started reading the rules: "The picture you see is the rest area of ​​the first singer. The first singer will enter later."

Shen Xiyin and Li Siqi widened their eyes at the same time: "Isn't the first singer a secret? Can we see it?"

"Yes, the identity of the first singer is confidential. Only you two can see it. Before coming in, the program team has taken away your mobile phones just to keep the identity of the first singer secret." The director replied.

Shen Xiyin covered her mouth with her hands and said in surprise: "Is it such a big deal? Is this our privilege? But aren't we singers?"

It sounds very exciting for the program team to engage in this kind of segment.

The starting singers didn’t know who each other was.

However, as kick-off singers, Shen Xiyin and Li Siqi could watch the seven starting singers enter.

The director nodded and admitted: "Yes, this is the privilege of the singers who are kicking the hall. The two of them can see the seven starting singers enter. After all the starting singers enter, the two of them have to choose one of them as the target of the kicking singer. , write your names on the question card in front of you."

Shen Xiyin picked up the question card on the table in front of her and took a look at it, then raised it up and asked the camera: "You can't change it once you've written it, right?"

"Yes, you can't change it, but you can choose to give up the gymnastics competition. Because there is only one gymnastics competition in each episode..."

The director explained the rules to them: "In other words, there is competition between two singers. In tonight's episode, only one of the two can initiate the challenge.

"After the first singer whose name you wrote down has finished singing, if you are sure to initiate a kick-out, please tap the kick-out button in front of you.

"Once someone taps the kick button, the other kicking singer will lose the chance to kick tonight and will have to wait until the next show to initiate the kicking again."

Shen Xiyin and Li Siqi looked at each other and widened their eyes at the same time.

Li Siqi stretched out his hand and pressed it, and asked: "Then the chosen singer will appear first, doesn't he have the initiative?"

"Yes, you will see the order of appearance of the seven starting singers later. If you want to take the initiative, you can choose the starting singer with the higher order of appearance." The director nodded and confirmed.

Shen Xiyin and Li Siqi looked at each other, feeling that they had fallen into the trap of the program team.

While waiting, the two of them talked quietly.

"When I saw you at the airport, I didn't even dare to go up and say hello. I thought you were the starter." Shen Xiyin stabbed him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Siqi's face darkened, and it took him a while to regain his calm expression, and said: "Originally, we were competing for the position of the last starting singer, but as a result, the contract was almost finalized, and someone else took the lead."

Shen Xiyin covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Is that so, who is the last debuting singer? I heard that this time the program team has invited top-tier singers from South Korea to come over, and there are several foreign singers in the debut."

Li Siqi clenched his fists and said: "I also want to know who stole my starting position. When the time comes, hum!"

"Hey! I suddenly really want to watch it." Shen Xiyin said with excitement.

Amid the discussion between the two, the first singer to appear was Fang Xing.

The moment they saw Fang Xing enter the room, Shen Xiyin and Li Siqi were stunned at the same time.

"It's him, my God, I even chatted with him all the way when I was at the airport." Shen Xiyin pointed at the TV screen with a surprised look on his face.

Li Siqi's face darkened and he said, "Is he the last confirmed starting singer? According to time, he is definitely not the first."

When the preparations for "Song" began, "Tomorrow's Star" had just started broadcasting.

At that time, Fang Xing had not become popular yet, so it was impossible for the "Singing" program team to find Fang Xing as the starting singer.

Therefore, Fang Xing could not be the first confirmed starting singer.

The show crew seems to be deliberately causing trouble.

The director directly admitted: "The order of admission is related to the time when the first singer signed the contract."

Although this was not stated explicitly, it was equivalent to an admission.

The order of singers' entrance is related to the finalized time.

That's either the order or the reverse order.

If Fang Xing is not the first singer to be finalized, he can only be the last to be finalized.

Li Siqi's eyes flashed with displeasure.

In recent months, every time he heard Fang Xing's name, he felt unhappy.

The new song "Sexy" was doubled by the song produced by Fang Xing.

Now the starting position of "Singing" has been taken away by Fang Xing again.

Since his debut, when has he ever been teased like this?

Shen Xiyin looked like he was just watching the excitement, pointing at Fang Xing on the screen, and asked, "Are you going to kick Fang Xing out later?"

Li Siqi did not answer, but the flames of war were already igniting in his eyes.

Shen Xiyin covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Fang Xing's game?"

"I'm not interested in the draft." Li Siqi did not hide his true thoughts.

While the two were talking, Fang Xing got the number "1" and entered a rest room.

Immediately afterwards, the second starting singer entered the stage. She was a young female singer, and she was very unfamiliar.

The female singer introduced herself to the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Lizhu, from Malaysia. Thank you to the "Singing" program team for the invitation."

At this moment.

The choreographer in the singer's rest room held the card and explained: "This Chen Lizhu is the champion of Malaysia's Astro Rookie Competition, and is a new and powerful singer in Malaysia."

Next, the remaining five starting singers took turns to enter.

Among them, one is a powerful South Korean singer named Zhong Yuanxun. He is forty years old and was once a hit in South Korea.

One is the king-level singer in the domestic music scene, Liu Hongsheng.

One is a powerful female singer in the ancient style circle, Xu Xinzhen.

The remaining two are also powerful singers of the Mesozoic generation in China.

Looking at the seven starting singers, the youngest ones are Fang Xing and the Malaysian female singer Chen Lizhu.

After watching the seven starting singers, Shen Xiyin covered her mouth and said: "Everyone is so strong, how can they compete in the gym? It's a hellish level of difficulty. Moreover, several of them are seniors."

Except for Fang Xing and Chen Lizhu, everyone else is a senior.

Shen Xiyin has only been in the group for a year. From the perspective of seniority, it is not suitable to kick anyone.

The director started to stir things up: "There are two young people here."

Shen Xiyin rolled her eyes, pointed at the TV screen and said, "Two young people, one is Fang Xing, and the other is the Malaysian Rookie Competition champion, both are ridiculously strong."

She looked at Li Siqi and asked, "Who are you going to choose? It seems inappropriate to choose a senior in the music industry."

People like Liu Hongsheng, the king of heaven, or Jong Yuanxun, a powerful South Korean male singer, are not easy to compete with.

The remaining few are also veterans in the music industry, so it would be awkward to choose.

Li Siqi looked down at the question card and was thinking.

Shen Xiyin looked at the director and asked, "What if we choose the same goal of playing in the gym?"

"You can choose the same target to kick the gym. Whoever kicks the gym in the end depends on who clicks the play button first." The director replied.

Shen Xiyin covered her mouth with a question card and said in surprise: "Is it such a big deal?"

She looked at Li Siqi and saw that he hadn't written his name yet, and said angrily: "The program team seemed to have given seven choices, but I can only choose one, and only Chen Lizhu can choose, and she is from Malaysia." Champion, this is too difficult.”

The director smiled mysteriously, and this was the effect he wanted.

Li Siqi thought for a moment, looked up at the director, and said, "You did it on purpose, right? You just wanted me to choose Fang Xing."

"No, actually you can choose from the seven starting singers." The choreographer replied seriously.

Shen Xiyin thought for a moment and then asked: "What will happen if we don't press the battle button tonight?"

"Then tonight's gymnastics competition will be a bye. The next period will be the same as tonight. There will be only one gymnastics competition. One of the two is destined to lose the opportunity to compete." The director continued to explain the rules.

"That's too much. If I write down the name of my goal tonight, but don't hit the kick button at the end, can I change the goal in the next issue?" Shen Xiyin asked again.

"Yes, there will be a chance to re-write the name in the next issue." the director replied.

"Okay. We are both girls, so I can only choose Chen Lizhu. The other first singers are all seniors, so I don't dare to write." Shen Xiyin looked embarrassed.

After she finished writing, she looked at Li Siqi and asked, "Do you want to choose the same one as me?"

Li Siqi picked up the pen, scribbled his name on the question card, then raised it up and said to the camera: "The program team just wants me to choose him, right? Okay, what is supposed to be mine, I will definitely take it with my own hands." return."

The camera focused on the question card in his hand. The name "Fang Xing" was clearly written on the question card.

…

After the singer's entrance content was filmed, the first "Singing" competition officially began.

Eighteen spotlights shine down.

Host He Hao stepped onto the stage and stood under the spotlight and said: "Welcome to the guests, media friends, and the 500 people who came from all over the country to hear the hearing. Thank you all for coming..."

In the lounge of the first singer, there is a TV that can see the stage.

Seeing He Hao on stage, Fang Xing was a little speechless.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling that this host is still haunting me. He is the host of "Tomorrow's Star" and he is also the host of "Laughter Weekend".

When it comes to "Singing", he is still the host.

He Hao continued with his opening remarks: "Tonight is the amazing first episode of "Singing". All the singers can see the stage in the rest room, but the singers don't know each other's identities.

"Are you curious to see who will be the first to compete?

"Don't worry, before the competition begins, I have some good news to tell you.

“In addition to the seven starting singers tonight, there are also two kick-off singers.

"Furthermore, the two kick-off singers watched the seven starting singers enter the venue from the beginning, and among the seven starting singers, they chose the goal of kick-off.

“Yes, the competition on ‘The Voice’ is even more intense this season.

"Furthermore, audience friends, the starting singer doesn't know the identity of the singer who kicked off the hall. Isn't it exciting?

"Next, it will be announced which two starting singers will be selected as the target of kicking the venue.

“Before the announcement, let’s interact with the first singer.

"First of all, the starting singer in Room 1 is labeled 'Dugu Qiubai'. I would like to ask this Dugu brother or sister, do you think you will become a target of being kicked out?"

Fang Xing answered into the microphone in the room: "You have chosen me, so you must have chosen me."

When this answer was transmitted to the studio, it had been modified by a voice changer. The sound was sharp and thin, and the original voice could not be heard at all.

"Not necessarily. Maybe I asked in numerical order?"

He Hao continued to stir up the atmosphere and continued: "Look, I'm going to ask the singer in Room 2 next. The label of the singer in Room 2 is 'National Champion'.

“Wow, that label sounds powerful right away.

"Singer No. 2, do you think you will be a target for kicking the gym?"

Chen Lizhu clasped her hands and prayed to the camera: "Please, please, don't choose me."

The voice was modified by a voice changer and turned into a deep and hoarse drake voice, but the words "please please" sounded very inconsistent.

He Hao laughed and said: "It seems that contestant No. 2 is very humble, but it doesn't match his voice well."

Immediately afterwards.

He Hao clicked on all seven starting singers and finally announced: "Okay, next, we will announce the singers selected as the target of kicking out the venue. That is...singer No. 1 and No. 2.

"However, being chosen does not mean that you will definitely be challenged. There is only one kicking competition tonight.

"That is to say, only one of the singers No. 1 and 2 will be challenged tonight.

"It's even possible that neither of them is challenged, but in that case, one of the two singers will lose the opportunity to play."

After announcing the selection of singers to kick off the hall.

He Hao continued to interact with Fang Xing in Room 1: "Singer No. 1, are you nervous when you know you have been selected as the target to kick the gym?"

"fine."

Fang Xing answered calmly.

However, after the voice was modified by the voice changer, the original tone could not be heard at all.

He Hao asked curiously: "Singer No. 1 seems to be very calm. I want to explain to you the rules of the competition. The results of tonight's competition will be determined by the votes of 500 people who will listen to the show on the spot.

“Each judge has three votes, but they cannot vote for the same singer twice.

“If the number of votes for the singer who kicks out the contest exceeds that of the first singer who is challenged, it means that the contestant is successful.

"If the first singer fails, he will leave the "Singing" stage directly. The competition system is very cruel.

"Of course, the starting singer has one chance to be exempted from elimination, that is, if he ranks among the top three in the competition that night, he will be exempted from elimination.

"The singers who kicked off the competition are still considered successful. After the second phase of the competition, the last two starting singers will be eliminated based on the combined votes of the two phases.

"What's even more cruel is that since there are two kicking singers, if there are two consecutive periods, both kicking singers will succeed in kicking the house.

"Then there will be three starting singers eliminated."

Wow!

There was a sudden uproar at the scene.

This format is too exciting.

If both of the two kicking singers succeed in kicking the house, then almost half of the seven starting singers will be killed directly.

but.

The probability of this happening is very small.

Because the singer who wants to be kicked out of the hall can succeed, the first singer who wants to be kicked out of the hall competes to be ranked in the top three.

That means that the kicking singers will be ranked in the top two in the competition.

It can make the singers in the kicking hall rank in the top two in the competition. None of the seven starting singers is innocent.

After He Hao announced the rules for kicking out the club, he continued: "So, the starting singers who are not the target of being kicked out should not take it lightly. If the starting singer who is kicked out is strong, it may affect Chi Yu. This is just an idiom, not specifically for you. Teacher, I’m sorry.”

He said at the end and began to bow.

This section caused a series of laughter on the scene.

After the rules were announced, He Hao continued: "Then, the competition will begin, and the first person to appear is the starting singer No. 1.

"He is the finalized starting singer of the show, and the label given to him by the show is 'Dugu Qiufeng'.

"I would like to ask Singer No. 1, why do you have such a domineering nickname of 'Dugu Qiubai'?

"Is it true that you have never been defeated, so you came here to seek defeat? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you were defeated in the first game?"

Fang Xing laughed into the microphone and said, "I have never lost before. There is another possibility. As long as I have never competed before, I naturally have never lost."

He Hao raised his eyebrows and asked: "So, player No. 1 is a newcomer and has never participated in a competition, right?"

Fang Xing replied calmly: "That's not true. I just haven't lost a game."

He Hao raised his eyebrows again: "It's scary when you hear it, but you have to know that the kicking singer knows your identity. Being chosen as the kicking target speaks for itself, do you understand?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "I understand, I just feel that I am the weakest among the seven starters."

He Hao suppressed a smile and said: "Since you understand everything, then prepare yourself for the challenge. What kind of song did you prepare for your first competition?"

"A song that guides confused people." Fang Xing thought about it before answering.

"Please tell the audience, what is the name of this song?" He Hao asked.

"'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky'." Fang Xing slowly announced the title of the song.
