Chapter 25 Finals debut

"What do I want most?" Ji Chenxuan's heart beat heavily, his body couldn't help but lean forward slightly, and he stared at him with narrowed eyes, "Do you know what I want?"

"Of course." Xiao Chi was full of confidence.

"what?"

"I can't tell you now." Xiao Chi shook his head immediately, and said solemnly, "It's a surprise. It won't work if you say it."

"Heh, when did you learn to play this game?" Ji Chenxuan became more and more curious.

Did this guy notice something?Or... are you implying something?

Ji Chenxuan subconsciously changed his sitting position, and the more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Do you want to confess to me?

...Is it too fast?No, no, Xiao Chi, a single-celled guy, may have made something like a handicraft by himself.

Ji Chenxuan imagined one possibility after another in his mind, but was rejected one by one.

Until Xiao Chi waved his hands in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking? The food is cold. If you don't move your chopsticks, I will eat them up for you."

"..."

Friday night at [-]:[-] p.m., Avenue of Stars Arena.

The huge oval stadium is covered with milky white, the top is made of fully enclosed transparent composite glass, and the upper and lower ends are connected by irregular zigzags.

Looking from a distance in the night, it looks like a chick breaking its shell and about to spread its wings and fly high.

Xiao Chi has no assistant for the time being, and Liu Bing will take care of all schedules and trivial matters.

Every time around this time, fans and entertainment journalists from all walks of life will be densely packed around the venue, waiting for the first-hand news of new debut artists on the spot.

In order to maintain his "mysterious" image and not reveal his true face before the competition, Liu Bing specially ordered Zhang Mengmeng, who is in charge of clothing, to apply a very natural freckle makeup on him to cover up his original appearance.

Then put on the hood, glasses and mask, and set off in an unusually low-key manner to the arena.

In order to ensure that the contestants get enough rest without being disturbed by each other, the organizer has arranged an independent dressing room and lounge for each contestant.

Fang Fangchang and his agent came early, greeted the staff, did not leave immediately to go to his dressing room, but stayed in the public rest area on the only way of the player's passage, reading electronic magazines while secretly rubbing Rubbing and paying attention to every suspected person coming and going.

This isn't... there isn't any...

Seeing several other contestants arriving one after another, that "mysterious man" never revealed his true face.

"Why don't you come, what are you playing?" House Changzheng secretly disdainful, the gate of the contestants' passage suddenly opened and closed, two men and one woman stepped on the dark red carpet back and forth.

The man walking in the front was a little short, with a mixed-race appearance, and kept talking on the phone while walking. The woman at the end was holding a portable cosmetic case in her hand. The man in the middle was the tallest man, tightly wrapped from head to toe.

coming!Fang Zichang's eyes were fixed slightly, and he pretended to stand up casually, and went towards several people, when he passed by Xiao Chi, his feet seemed to slip, and the two shoulders bumped into each other.

House Chang originally wanted to take this opportunity to observe what the other person looked like at a close distance, but unexpectedly, his entire shoulder seemed to hit a steel plate, and his entire arm was numb from the shock!

The reaction force caused him to stagger two steps, and fell to the ground with a smack, landing on all fours, and fell firmly on his buttocks!

Fang Zichang sat on the ground in a daze, until Xiao Chi came around to him, squatted down, stretched out his hand towards him, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I bumped into you, are you okay?"

After these unexpected episodes, other staff members in the public rest area looked this way frequently, and the house that was the focus of everyone's attention suddenly blushed, jumped up from the ground, and glared at Xiao Chi with anger—this guy is Did he make a fool of himself on purpose? !

"Are you okay?" Xiao Chi took off his sunglasses, checked up and down that the other party hadn't been damaged, and sighed lightly.

Fang Fangchang immediately saw the half of the freckled face, half of his anger was miraculously extinguished, and instead he showed a bit of schadenfreude - it turns out that he looks like this, no wonder he is so shameful!

For a live show like this with a lot of public participation, the appearance of the contestants is too important.

"I'm fine. Follow this way for your lounge, the one in the innermost." Fang Fangchang's mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and he even gave him a few words of kindness, "The game will be played later, work hard, although you... …the semi-finals can still be fought for.”

Xiao Chi touched his nose inexplicably, thinking to himself, this man is really a good man, he even encouraged him when he knocked him down.

So he patted the opponent's shoulder very touched: "Thank you, and I wish you the best of luck in entering the semi-finals."

"..." Fang Zichang's smile froze in an instant, and before he could find a way to taunt him back, Xiao Chi had already been urged away by Liu Bing.

Damn!How dare this guy look down on him!Final four?The champion is in his pocket, okay?

Players lounge.

Liu Bing was busy like a wind-up top, communicating every detail with the stage manager of the organizer, and even the thread ends of every piece of clothing had to be checked by herself before she could rest assured. .

Xiao Chi sat obediently on the makeup chair, letting Zhang Mengmeng manipulate him, turning his slightly dark freckled face into a flourishing beauty under the witch's fairy wand.

"Have you read the competition system beforehand?" Liu Bing held a thin tablet in his hand, frowning and swipe up and down, "The whole finals is a very cruel elimination system, there is no rematch, ten players in the first round Players catch each other and fight each other, and half of them will be directly eliminated."

"Well, I know." Zhang Mengmeng lifted Xiao Chi's chin to draw eyeliner, and his neck was raised in a beautiful and proud arc.

"Your lottery result..." Liu Bing raised her head from the tablet, she was about to say something at first, but she forgot when she looked at him in the makeup mirror, "Don't draw too deep, be more innocent, right... He fits the bill."

Liu Bing walked forward slowly, held Xiao Chi's shoulders through the back of the chair, bent down, and looked at him in the mirror.

Xiao Chi's black and white pupils are like two vivid black crystals, shining brightly under the mirror lamp.

After scrutinizing it for a while, Liu Bing showed an indescribable expression, and said, "You really have a face that can deceive the world, no wonder even he can..."

Xiao Chi retorted solemnly: "I won't lie."

Liu Bing held his forehead, helpless: "Yes, you are the successor of socialism with four and five virtues. Teacher will give you a certificate, okay?"

"Certificate? A gift?" Xiao Chi blinked shyly, and stretched out his hand to him, "Thank you. But I haven't returned the gift yet."

"...I think you owe a beating from socialism!" Liu Bing gritted his teeth with hatred, joking with this guy was like playing the piano to a cow!

"...Why hit me?" Xiao Chi felt wronged.

Zhang Mengmeng grabbed his chin and broke it over: "Don't move!"

Liu Bing was pushed aside by Zhang Mengmeng, picked up the tablet resentfully, and suddenly slapped his forehead, only then remembered that he was about to tell him to draw lots for his opponent!

"In the first round of the duet, your opponent in the draw is No.2, the active smoky voice Fang Hao who is good at rap. His hard power is very strong and his characteristics are very outstanding. The judges will also prefer this rare voice. , but this kind of characteristic brings a weakness, audiences will like it very much if it is good, and dislike it very much if it is not good, and think his voice is like noise, your opportunity is here.”

Liu Bing copied his hands and walked back and forth repeatedly behind the chair, like a screenwriter holding a script in his hand, analyzing and presupposing every detail in detail:

"Just as I told you in advance, don't compare your voice with him, don't be brought into his field by him, don't cooperate with him, you focus on your own characteristics, in sharp contrast with his style, the more beautiful you are The better, if those neutral audiences who are not interested in him will have a good impression of you, we will win."

"Okay." Xiao Chi nodded and agreed with a half understanding.

Human beings are really interesting. I didn't expect that apart from singing skills, there are more complicated skills in singing.

"The song for the chorus is randomly selected from the songs we submitted. It has already come out. You should prepare. Fang Hao will sing the first line of the second part of your singing. We are at a disadvantage in this regard. It will make it easier for him to let the audience preconceive and incorporate his aura."

The hands of the wall clock slowly moved to eight o'clock, and the organizer sent staff to each player's lounge to make the final confirmation on stage.

The ten contestants entered the main stage waiting room one after another from their own exclusive channels.

As the hands coincide at eight o'clock, the splendid spotlights shoot straight into the night sky, and countless fireworks splash and fly, the battle of the finals has finally begun!

More than a dozen large-scale online live broadcast platforms around the world broadcast the entire event simultaneously. The Dome Stadium was full of voices, and the enthusiasm of the audience almost knocked over the glass ceiling.

The host stepped on the hoverboard and enthusiastically introduced each contestant to the audience one by one.

The huge cone-shaped holographic projection screen in the center is like a majestic black pyramid, scrolling in all directions, playing player information and video clips.

The first nine were all introduced one by one, and when it was finally the turn to rush to the hot searches before the game, and the most concerned "Dark Horse Mystery Man", the host made a special pass:

"Because this contestant did not provide a video clip, apart from a little basic information, I, like everyone else, know nothing about him..."

As if to confirm what the host said, the large central projection screen only showed information such as Xiao Chi's stage name, age, singing songs, etc. Other than that, there was nothing but darkness.

The audience at the scene stretched their necks, their curiosity was overwhelming, and they almost cursed. The bullet screens on the webcast platform frantically swiped the screen, discussing topics about Xiao Chi and other contestants, and almost half of them stood there.

The first few player support clubs with their own fan clubs worked hard, trying to control the comments as usual, and compete for the popularity of the topic, but they couldn't catch up with the horse, and watched Xiao Chi's popularity soar again...

Huanyi Entertainment Group headquarters building, high-level conference room.

Ji Chenxuan and a group of executives were also watching the holographic live broadcast of the finals.

As the most important event at the beginning of this year, it happened that the AI ​​company was caught in the storm of the inexplicable disappearance of idols, and it became popular with the farce of national hosts and real and fake singers. The location is favorable and the people are harmonious.

According to Li Mingxin's report, the viewing rate of the live broadcast showed an explosive increase as soon as the finals started, and the increase was much higher than the same period of the previous session.

The management who were worried about whether the program would be canceled due to the decline in ratings was delighted from ear to ear.

"Does anyone know who this mysterious man is?"

"It seems to be our new artist."

"Oh? Isn't he just a newcomer? What's the big deal? Why are you covered so tightly?"

"Hush—I heard that Liu Sanshui brought it back."

"What about Xie Ting? It seems that he is also among the judges this time."

"Didn't this kid become Xie Ting's fellow apprentice?"

Ji Chenxuanqu tapped the edge of the table three times with his knuckles, the whispers in the meeting room quickly disappeared, and everyone sat upright, secretly observing the boss's face.

With the sudden burst of screams from the audience coming from the projection screen, the first group of duel players in the first round of the finals came on stage impressively!

At the stadium site of Avenue of Stars, two black and white names were written on the giant screen in the center:

Fang Hao VS Xiao Chen!

The first round of the mysterious dark horse draw, and the opponent is Fang Hao, the runner-up of the popular voting battle for the championship candidate? !

The entire venue and all live streaming platforms exploded at the same time!

In the contestant guessing activity released by the official website, the first group fell into an extremely fierce duel. Is the powerful and popular player Fang Hao better, or the highly anticipated and highly anticipated mysterious person to continue his journey as a dark horse?

The progress bar of the quiz between the two anxiously seesawed, and Fang Hao firmly occupied the dominant position by virtue of his stable performance and fan base.

The main stage of the venue.

The hot and dazzling stage spotlights illuminate the entire stage brilliantly, as bright as day.

In the player pool on the left, as the misty white mist dissipated, Fang Hao, who was the leader in the second round, took the lead.

The man's age was slightly older than all the contestants, with a burly figure, masculine facial features, and eyes as deep as the sea.

At first glance, he is a person with a story. Although his appearance is not as good as that of Fang Fang, he has the vicissitudes of life that other young singers lack.

Fang Hao waved to the audience with his unique hoarse voice and stood still in the center of the stage.

Responding to him was a wave of warm applause from the scene.

All eyes turned to the contestant pool on the right side of the main stage. In the curling white mist, there was already a tall figure stepping up the steps of the stage at a leisurely pace, revealing his true face little by little under the shining lights.

Xiao Chi's belated figure appeared on the projection screen in the center, wearing a white T-shirt, white slacks, and a light pink hooded jacket.

The whole person looks clean and fresh, like a big boy next door, which is completely different from Fang Hao's vicissitudes of life, forming a very sharp contrast of aura.

Countless high-definition cameras were aimed at his face, Xiao Chi pulled down his hood calmly, revealing a head of soft short chestnut hair, under the thin bangs, was a bright and gentle smiling face.

At this moment, it was as if an angel came to the world.

The noisy stadium scene fell into an incredible silence for a moment.

Even the live broadcast platform seemed to be banned, and there was a large area suddenly empty in the middle of the dense barrage.

After such a strange calm lasted for just three breaths—the audience exploded!
