Chapter 9 American Idol

‘American Idol’ is actually the American Amateur Youth Singer Competition. The show launched its first season in 2002 and has entered its fifth season so far. Almost every season can surpass popular TV series and top the US ratings. It is a rare high-rated program.

And I just want to increase the popularity of Daniu and Phil through this gold medal ratings program that has become popular in the United States, so that they can attract more female customers and let us get rid of the painful life we ​​are now.

It just so happens that this year's Los Angeles is the main preliminary and semi-finals venue for American Idols. Although the registration deadline has passed, after I greeted Edward, all these problems no longer exist. After all, he is also the investor of this season's competition, and there are still some small privileges.

Phil is full of confidence. With our conditions, this so-called American idol is still easy to win? Although I haven't learned to sing much before, I can just find two records to listen to. The trick of adjusting the vocal cords and vocalizing the voice is really nothing to a blood prince.

"Boss, for our future, I am going to learn singing well. Whose record should I buy to learn it?" Phil couldn't make up his mind and ran over to ask me.

I thought about it: "I'm not very clear about this, but it should be correct to buy some albums from players who participated in American Idol before."

When Phil heard this, he was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll buy it now. But the boss's money..."

For my own good life, I gritted my teeth and said, "I will reimburse you!!" Before I could finish my words, Phil ran away.

"Bastard, damn Phil, come back!" I suddenly remembered that it was still working hours, and the customers of Phil wanted me to deal with it when he left, so I was exhausted?

Phil found a record store at his own speed and walked in without saying a word. Looking around, the dazzling array of records made him dizzy, who didn't know any singers at all, and he didn't know who had participated in American idols before. Forget it, I'd better ask the boss, Phil had to give up his plan to find the record he wanted.

"Sir, I want to buy an album that players who have participated in the United States have produced before." Phil rarely speaks so politely to humans he looks down upon.

"Who do you want?"

"I don't know, please choose one for me. I don't know the names of these people very well."

The owner of the record store immediately felt energetic when he heard Phil's words. Today, he met a rookie. Isn't he sorry for himself if he didn't kill him? The boss who had an idea suddenly piled up his charming smile and said in his most sincere tone: "Sir, please wait here, I'll get it for you now, so you can satisfy you."

Leaving Phil's sight, the record store owner immediately turned into the warehouse in his store, found a record that had been no one's interest for a long time, and breathed out: "I can finally sell this thing."

"Sir, you can see that the person who found this record is Kong Qingxiang, a famous Chinese singer who once participated in American idols. He is now popular in the United States. You must be right to buy his record."

As soon as Phil heard the four words "popular in the United States", he decided to buy it: "How much?"

"Look, this is your first time visiting this store. Let's do this. I'll give you a 20% discount. How about fifty dollars? This record is also the last one in our store. Fifty dollars is already very cheap."

The Vampire Prince, who had no idea about money, paid a total of n times higher than the original price and walked out of the record store with satisfaction. At this time, the record store owner was already smiling.

"Boss, I'm back. I've bought the things. You can just look at me in this competition! Huh? Why are you lying down?"

I was exhausted and had no energy to teach Phil a lesson again, but I had already vowed to deduct Phil's salary this month. When I looked at the big bull on the side, I was busy doing my own work. I couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Big bull, the date of this preliminary competition is coming soon, why are you not preparing at all?"

"What are the preparations for the boss? The elders of my tribe have said before that my singing level needs to be improved, so I have no hope of passing the preliminary round. It's better to have Phil here, but I don't have anything to do. But don't worry, boss, since you have signed up for me, I will definitely work hard to sing."

The big bull said so, and I didn't ask for anything, so I patted him on the shoulder.

As soon as Phil returned to his room, he couldn't wait to turn on the speaker and put the record in. Then, Kong Qingxiang's unique singing came to Phil's ears.

Why does this song sound weird? Phil muttered to himself: Do Americans now love this tune? Anyway, the guy who released this record is now popular in the United States, so this song should not be wrong. It seems that I need to adapt to this human music more.

Our poor Phil didn't know that Kong Qingxiang started with this super out-of-tune song. Of course, what makes people remember him is his funny typhoon, but what really makes him famous is not his singing, but what he said when he participated in American idols: I have done my best, and I have no regrets about it. It was this sentence that touched American audiences.

But how could we, the noble prince of the blood clan, know about all this? I knew a little about this and I might even advise him to buy another record, but Phil hid this record in his room like a treasure, not allowing anyone to approach it. In his words, this is his secret weapon that became popular in the United States. Since it is a secret weapon, of course he can't show it to others casually.

By chance, Phil started practicing this super out-of-tune singing...

In the blink of an eye, the date of the preliminary round was coming, and players who came to participate in the competition could be seen everywhere in Los Angeles. The preliminary round was arranged at the famous Lakers home Staples Center.

Two hours before the start of the first test, the Staples Center was filled with people. In addition to the contestants, there were also the contestants’ relatives and friends group, various small vendors and other things.

Big Niu and Phil also came here early. What surprised us was that Rowling also came with us. "Rowling, why do you have to come with you too? What should you do if you come to the bar?"

"I can't open the bar alone! Besides, I'm also a member of the bar, so it's okay to cheer for Daniu and Phil."

I felt strange when I heard Rowling's words.

"Boss, isn't we a bit too much for Rowling?" It seems that the big bull has a different feeling.

I can't answer the big bull's question now, and I don't know how to answer it.

"Boss, what do you think I should do if I became famous in the United States?" Phil's excited voice pulled me back from my thoughts. It was obvious that I was prepared today. His clothes had been transformed into a white suit by him. With his already handsome appearance, he was very handsome.

"Don't forget the purpose of your participation in this competition. I don't care what you are going to do, and I will do the business first." With Rowling here, I dare not say bluntly that it was to increase the number of bar guests and let Rowling work more.

"Boss, don't worry, our good days are not far away!"

Fortunately, Rowling was bargaining with the vendor at this time and did not pay attention to the conversation between us.

Finally, it was Phil's turn to go in for the interview. Amid our cheers, Phil walked in with confidence.

The judges of this preliminary competition are one man and two women. The contestants come in one by one to accept their review. When they think you can enter the next round of the rematch, you will be given a small card and recorded on the record. The card in the subsequent rematch will be a pass.

When Phil walked into a room specially designed for the competition, the judges' eyes lit up. How could he say Phil's sales are still very good. "Player No. 3031, you can start, let's see what qualifications you have to enter the rematch." One of the female judges spoke.

Phil didn't talk nonsense, and he spoke Kong Qingxiang's out-of-tune song, and his expression was very intoxicated. But after he sang for five seconds, the male judge called him "stop".

The other person wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "You may be a little nervous, please relax first and then start over."

How could my dignified prince of the blood clan be nervous when facing you lowly humans? Forget it, since you said you would do it again, then do it again. I guess you were fascinated by my singing, so if you want to listen to my singing more, it must be like this. (The blood clan's skin is indeed thick enough)

Phil adjusted slightly and started singing again. This time the judges were completely desperate.

"Stop, stop, do you call singing? Fortunately, the preliminary round was not broadcasted on TV, otherwise our program would definitely be a laughing stock because of you." The male judge couldn't bear it anymore and started to get angry.

"Oh my God, God is indeed fair. He gave you this charming appearance but gave you such a scream. It was bad enough to have Kong Qingxiang in the past, but now you are coming out again." The female judge Jia sighed to the sky.

"Your entry made me feel the magnificence of Titanic, and your singing made me feel helpless as Titanic hit an iceberg and penetrated deep into the sea. Okay, you were eliminated." Female judge B made a summary.

At this time, Phil had the urge to suck the three people in front of him. Their "vicious" comments made Phil burst into anger, but then he thought that people who could speak such "vicious" language would probably have poison in their blood, so let's forget it.

Seeing Phil walking out of the gymnasium with a dejected head, I knew he had been eliminated. Rowling and Daniu hurried up to comfort Phil.

Thinking of what Daniu said to me before, I had no hope for Daniu. It seems that this competition is over for us.
