auditorium.
Five beautiful girls entered the venue, attracting the attention of many spectators.
Many boys tried to approach her, but they only stopped after seeing two or three brave men being ruthlessly rejected.
The assistant director, noticing this, told the director to remember to give these beautiful women more screen time.
"Ugh, they keep coming over to ask for my number." Choi Hyo-eun's pigtails were black and white today, going for the witch Cruella de Vil style.
"It's alright, the guys here don't look at me like they do on the peninsula." Kim Mi-ji said, linking arms with Choi Hyo-eun and Shu Ning-ran. "Thank you for bringing me in. My manager said the King of Singers stage is very worthwhile to learn from, especially the performances of senior singers Zhu Jia-lin and Yu Qing-wan."
Shu Ningran introduced to An Xue and Yin Zhen'er: "This is Kim Mi-ji, the most popular member of Peninsula Youth Fire."
Yoon Jin-ah flashed a sweet smile: "I know, you're the most beautiful woman on the peninsula! You're so gorgeous... I even bought a Youth Fire album, can I get an autograph later?"
Kim Mi-ji is the type of ice queen. Although she smiled, her eyes were filled with more emotion: "In the past, I might have been proud of this title, but after coming to the mainland this time, I realized what it means to be arrogant and ignorant."
There are so many beautiful women in mainland China. If even one of you went there, my reputation as a beauty icon would be in jeopardy.
Shu Ningran suddenly pouted: "Come on, in some people's eyes, I'm worthless, just a clown trying to attract attention."
An Xue and the other member of the trio covered their mouths and chuckled.
Shu Ningran still harbored resentment towards Xu Yuan's evaluation.
"Really?" Kim Mi-ji, unaware of the specifics, thought Shu Ningran was in trouble. "Is that person blind?"
Shu Ningran nodded repeatedly: "He's absolutely blind! There were empty spaces in front and behind him for parallel parking, and he actually used a compass to park! While others are worried about damaging their bikes, he just stood up and used the pedals!"
Hahaha!
The trio burst out laughing.
That morning, when Shu Ningran saw the tire tracks on the ground, she cursed for hours.
"Oh right, I just saw that U9 outside from that day." Kim Mi-ji found it quite a coincidence. "It's the one you saw when you drove me home last time."
Shu Ningran: "Are there tire tracks on the ground?"
"No, it felt like it parked perfectly fine."
"Look, who parks like that? Rich people are rich, not crazy... Uncle Xu, you country bumpkin."
"Uncle Xu? Who's that?"
"A blind idiot, what else is he if he's not an old man at thirty?"
While the five were chatting, the staff had already filmed quite a few clips, which could be edited into the program at certain points.
For example, the host told a joke—even though the five women weren't laughing at that moment.
That's the magic of editing.
That means all attendees' phones will be confiscated; otherwise, with the five women's good looks and the occasion, they would have been trending on social media this morning.
Soon, the recording officially began.
Singer Fang Ziyu will still be a guest host.
Today's recording took a long time because each singer had to sing a solo song and then a duet with a guest performer.
The content of the first three will be featured in the sixth issue.
The last three digits will be placed in the seventh issue.
The first person to take the stage was independent creator Zhou Bowen.
When he went on stage, his face was ashen.
Because he is followed by Zhao Zhigao and Yu Qingwan.
This means that when the sixth episode airs, he will be thoroughly defeated by the two champion contestants.
Zhou Bowen first performed one of his classic songs.
The response was lukewarm.
Then he invited his guest performer—Toy Train.
This is a fairly popular band.
Their collaboration featured the classic song "Toy Train," and the effect was absolutely explosive.
With a large audience, performing live has a clear advantage.
After Zhou Bowen's performance, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Kim Mi-ji's mouth agape slightly: "I heard this singer is the weakest among them? But this performance was amazing!"
Shu Ningran said proudly, "After all, this is the best music variety show in China this year, so it's definitely up to standard."
Then, Zhao Zhigao appeared.
As a veteran singer, he has too many classic songs.
The fact that she consciously evoked a sing-along from the entire audience during her solo performance clearly shows that she learned something from Yu Qingwan's performance of "Later" in the third episode.
His guest performer was even more remarkable; she was Hu Lihua, a top-tier diva from the previous generation who was his contemporary.
Despite being roughly the same age, Zhao Zhigao and Hu Lihua are actually quite different in terms of status.
The fact that they were able to invite such guest performers shows that you shouldn't underestimate the connections of these old-timers.
Their duet captivated the entire audience, brimming with emotion.
An Xue said helplessly, "Just with Hu Lihua's appearance, this group is basically guaranteed to win the championship."
Yin Zhen'er nodded: "Although Sister Yu is also a superstar, firstly, she is still young and has less experience. Secondly, she has been plagued by negative news, which has damaged her appeal. Hu Lihua, on the other hand, has the added advantage of nostalgia."
Shu Ningran: "Everyone online is saying that Yu Qingwan can't win the championship without Yuan Xu, and it seems that this time it will come true again."
Cui Xiaoen: "I heard that Yu Qingwan's collaborator this time is He Wenjing, her junior who was promoted by her. The two women will sing He Wenjing's signature song "Blooming Flowers" together."
The music is ringing.
However, many audience members expressed their surprise.
Because the prelude is not "Blooming Flowers".
Instead, it's a very soothing and melodious rhythm.
On the left side of the stage, Yu Qingwan wore a green silk halter dress that looked like a formal gown but was actually pajamas.
It's both a stage performance and somewhat like a woman's monologue at home late at night:
There's no right or wrong in parting, and there's not much to explain when someone has to leave.
"Saying 'forever' in modern times is just silly."
"The sparks have faded with that night."
"It's impossible to dedicate one's entire life to this."
From the guest seats, Hu Lihua raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise, "A Cantonese song?"
In their era, Cantonese songs held a unique position, representing the forefront of popular culture and often receiving the most attention.
Therefore, these veteran singers have a very strong ability to appreciate Cantonese songs.
"A new song!" Zhao Zhigao grinned. "Lihua, what do you think? I wasn't lying to you, was I? This is definitely Yuan Xu's new song. How's it? If you want to release a new song, you can't go wrong with him!"
Zhou Bowen, however, noticed a detail in the song: "This seems... to be another sad love song?"
Zhu Jialin laughed and said, "Now some people are calling Yu Yu the Queen of Melancholy."
But the next moment, Zhu Jialin looked to the right side of the stage, her pupils contracting.
A masked man appeared on the stage.
He was wearing a light pink suit with a white shirt underneath, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a microphone.
"When love ends, you should let go; why would I want to pierce my heart?"
"If you're tired of it, don't waste any more time."
"If we separate, I should have the chance to love someone else."
"It's impossible to spend your whole life in emptiness."
Zhu Jialin looked at the man and felt a sense of familiarity.
An Xue, sitting in the audience, pondered the singer's voice with a hint of doubt: "This...it sounds like Xu Yuan?"
"Huh? Who?" Kim Mi-ji thought she had misheard.
Are there that many people with this name in mainland China? Like those on the Korean Peninsula with names like Xiu, Mei, En, and Zhi.
"But the timbre is wrong; his timbre is brighter than this one." An Xue shook her head to herself. "The vocal placement is also different... but there are a few places where the treatment is similar to that etude."
