Chapter 14 Finals(1/2)
Two people became famous in this qualifying competition. One was Lu Qi. Her bizarre life experience and good voice made people more curious about her. The story of Cinderella has been enduring for a long time, and she has been given such a halo.
It can be said that even if an opponent of equal strength appears now, it will be difficult to overshadow her, and judging from the first day of the competition, such a person has not yet appeared. Xiaohui's analysis is also correct, there is indeed something behind her.
A team was working for her. In just one day, Lu Qi was interviewed or reprinted by major newspapers. She was portrayed as a strong girl with a humble background but always optimistic. The appearance of Lu Weimin gave this ordinary story another
With the addition of a spoonful of hot oil, Lu Qi's experience before joining a wealthy family was written about in great detail. However, where she was last winter was revealed in a secretive manner, but the direction was clear: a poor girl with a
She has a good voice and supports herself by singing everywhere - who else could Little Red Riding Hood be if she wasn't her?
The other one is naturally Xiao Lu. In addition to the protagonist, the stage also needs a clown. A girl with an average appearance and a ridiculous singing ability has made it all the way to the top 32 by sheer luck. This is in line with the current entertainment spirit to a large extent.
People sometimes need to be shocked before they have the strength to move forward. Therefore, the most popular hosts nowadays are not handsome boys and girls. They are either full of patois or crooked. Experts say this is a manifestation of the progress of people's living standards - before
They need to see people who are more beautiful and taller than themselves to feel happy physically and mentally, but now that they are already very tall, they want to see people who are not as good as themselves. They don’t know whether this means that people nowadays are tolerant or mean.
In short, Xiao Lu received as much attention as Lu Qi. A considerable number of newspapers also found Xiao Lu. Of course, most of them were found by Wei Jin with money.
On the way back in the car that day, the soprano said to Xiao Lu with a look of admiration: "You still have the foresight. If you sing according to what I say, you may have been eliminated."...
Two days later, the 32-to-16 competition was held in full swing. The judges this time were all famous singers, musicians and actors in the country. Wei Jin's money offensive finally came to an end here. She did not dare to take these people lightly.
Try bribery, and if it fails, it won't be an ordinary scandal.
Outside the stadium, Wei Jin solemnly told Xiao Lu: "Sing like you did on the field, the more thunderous the better, at least they need you until 8 reaches 4!"
Xiaolu looked as cool as ever, and said timidly as always: "Oh, I see." She looked at Wushuang blankly and said, "Do you really like Little Red Riding Hood?"
Wushuang smiled and touched her head and said, "Don't think too much and play hard."
Xiaolu lowered his head and said: "Oh, I understand."
Backstage, Lu Qi and Xiao Lu were undoubtedly the most eye-catching people. The other contestants looked at them differently. However, Lu Qi looked at them with envy and jealousy, while Xiao Lu looked at them with sarcasm and disdain. No matter what,
These two people have already become famous before the competition is over. If nothing goes wrong, they will be more popular than the current champion. Of course, if nothing goes wrong, Lu Qi will be the champion of this year.
This time Lu Qi and Xiao Lu were not in the same group, but they were both in the morning. Lu Qi still adhered to the Indian style, but this time he appeared in a grass skirt. Lu Weimin, who had great powers, did not know how to help her really
A group of actors from African tribes were found. A group of black people held up spears and beat drums. They circled around the campfire under the leadership of Lu Qi. Lu Qi's face was covered with oil paint and his bare legs held up a delicate small hand.
When Silver Spear sings a phrase, the black people join in and say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
The judges laughed through her show like a loving father watching his naughty daughter, and unanimously gave her high scores. The audience also cheered in unison. Everyone could see that Lu Qi was now very relaxed, saying
To put it nicely, she is enjoying the competition, but to put it more vividly, she has treated the other players as if they were mice under a cat's paw and ignored them.
And when Xiao Lu came on the stage, there was laughter in the audience. Someone blew a sharp whistle, and someone shouted: "Go down!" The four of us sat on pins and needles in the audience, and the host rarely maintained his voice.
Order, smiled and said: "It seems everyone is ready?"
People laugh.
"Okay, let us welcome Dong Xiaolu to bring "Smoke Again"."
The applause was followed by more heckling.
Xiao Lu still held the guitar calmly, the music started, and she started singing. Of course, the singing was still as ugly as ever.
At the end of the song, when it came time to comment, the judges, who had been amiable just now, became more sarcastic and sarcastic, but when it came to scoring, they all gave me neither high nor low, just enough to advance.
score...
The above scene is roughly what happened later.
Wei Jin's analysis is correct. Before 8 moves into 4, they need Xiao Green.
In a tense competition, everyone needs a spice, whether it is the audience below or the judges on the stage, and the appearance of Xiaolu fills this gap in a timely manner, allowing such a girl who knows that she will not win the championship even if she thinks on her heels
There is no need for any psychological burden for her to be promoted repeatedly, and she is not afraid of being accused of cheating, because everyone on the earth knows that she is just a plaything. In future competitions, all judges will abide by a common rule, that is
After some teasing, Xiao Lu was allowed to advance. They tried their best to find the most vicious and lively words and put them on Xiao Lu to show their humor and fun. Moreover, the current judges are all in the venomous style, which is also the case in various competitions nowadays.
One of the highlights of the show is that many unscrupulous judges use the limelight of the competition to overshadow the contestants. Maybe they will be able to enter people's attention through the second and third line players who have become popular or have never been popular. But you can't always win everyone's attention.
Poison, it is a fact that Xiao Lu’s singing is unpleasant anyway, so as long as she doesn’t have to hide it, Xiao Lu has simply become a touchstone for them to test their eloquence.
In 16 into 8, a very famous sketch actor who has never been seen in any show said comically and explicitly: "Don't worry, little sister, we won't let you go down, otherwise we will lose at least 30%."
ratings.”
In the 8-to-4 competition, a professional judge said righteously: "In this competition, there is only you and not me!" But the mysterious thing is that when scoring, it was clear that he only needed to give a low score to eliminate Xiao Green.
He was out but scored a perfect score.
Of course, this is not to say that the judge is a badass, but someone greeted him. This person was not Wei Jin, but the director of this city's TV station. The judges for the next show, other sponsors and advertisers besides Wei Jin,
...These people understand that the Little Red Riding Hood show without Little Green is like the Spring Festival Gala without language programs. Lu Qi is alone. Her legend can only entertain herself. Only Little Green can entertain the public. Many celebrities and movie stars are willing to come.
I am here to be a judge just for Lu Qi and Xiao Lu...
Therefore, under such circumstances, no judge would dare to be the first to kill Xiao Lu. That would be bragging against the disdain of the world.
In this way, Xiaolu actually made it all the way to the top 4, which is the final!
On the day of the finals, the stadium was crowded with people early on. After such a long competition, three of the four girls, except Xiao Lu, already have their own fan groups. Of course, the most powerful one is Lu Qi.
The fans, who were the largest and most vocal, had huge banners pulled up outside the stadium, which read shockingly: Let our Qier and her little red riding hood stay, and everyone else get out!
The major media also summarized and reviewed the competition and made speculations about the four players' draft trip. Public opinion was one-sided in favor of Lu Qi, which naturally included evaluations of the other three players and their evaluation of Xiao.
Midori's evaluation is "a dyed dark horse." The implication is obvious, she stands out not because she runs fast...
In view of the fiery scenes outside the arena, the organizers considered that Lu Qi and others' front entrance might cause a disturbance, so they temporarily decided that the four contestants would enter from behind the scenes in a low-key manner.
In the temporary lounge for the players, Lu Qi was sitting on a table. The makeup on his face had been put on, but the rings on his nose and ears were still on. He was wearing a large coat and was chewing gum while dangling.
With a pair of feet, the other two players knew that they would definitely miss the championship today, so they consciously sat aside quietly as foils, feeling sad.
We accompanied Xiao Lu in. Lu Qi raised his chin at her and said, "Did you really make it to the finals?" Before Xiao Lu could say hello to her, Lu Qi jumped up to Wu Shuang and said, "Handsome coach, wait for me.
How about I treat you to a meal after winning the championship? But I may not be able to do that recently. I will celebrate my victory tonight and I will have my own concert tomorrow." She said and said carelessly to the other two contestants, "You two go and sing as guests.
It’s a song, after all, it’s considered the same stage.”
The two players stood up in a hurry and said: "That's great."
Lu Qi glanced at Xiao Lu and said, "You can come if you want. Will you come?"
"But..." Little Green said timidly: "I am Little Red Riding Hood."
Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "Why are you still so stubborn? Don't you know why you can enter the finals?"
Lu Weimin said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi, please be polite!"
Lu Qi glanced at his father, pointed at the little green chest with his finger and said emphatically: "What are you arguing with me about?"
Xiaohui pulled Xiaolu behind her and said, "She didn't want to argue with you."
Lu Weimin looked at me apologetically and smiled helplessly. I said in a melodious tone, "Old Lu, please work hard."
Lu Weimin glanced at his daughter lovingly and sighed softly: "I can't help it, I owe her too much. I will do my best to help her get what she wants!"
At this time, the staff walked in and said: "The competition will start soon. Players should prepare. Friends and relatives are also invited to take their seats in the auditorium."
Wei Jin, who was late, pulled Xiaolu aside regardless and said: "Remember, once you get on stage and the competition is over, no matter what the judges say, you will insist that you are Little Red Riding Hood. We can't compete with our strength, but we can always take the wrong path."
Come here, maybe there will be another miracle!" Wei Jin looked at his watch and said, "I have to go to the VIP table first." After telling all this, she looked at Wushuang for the last time, and Wushuang smiled consciously and said, "I wish you the best.
You succeed."
"You should wish us success!" Wei Jin said with emphasis.
…
The staff urged us again before we walked into the auditorium and sat down. The place was already filled with jubilation. People were holding various plastic sticks, DV players, whistles, and lozenges, ready to witness and record this historic moment.
Many people whispered: "Who will Dong Xiaolu appear on today?"
At this time, the exciting music started, and the stage was filled with spray. The famous Taiwanese host Zong Xian and his female partner Ah Ya flew on the stage with the music. As usual, the two sarcastic each other for a while before starting to introduce the judges, and the last few
It's different this time. Today's judges are all real stars. In the previous introductions, the judges always added a bunch of titles, plus famous, superstar, international, etc., to create a feeling that you must have seen this person.
atmosphere - but in fact I have barely seen him, but today's judges introduced him with just one name, without any extra introduction, which means that if you never see this person again, then you can go to hell.
Today’s judges include: famous entrepreneurs who sang two popular songs during the reform and opening up period, movie stars who have appeared in several TV series, singers who have been talking about cross talk all their lives and finally became popular in sketches, etc...
Zong Xian exaggerated in his authentic Taiwanese accent: "Wow, the house is really full of guests today."
Aya echoed: "Yes, yes."
Zong Xian said: "But today there will be a person who shines brighter than everyone here. Do you know who this person is?"
Aya knew the truth and asked: "Who is it?"
Zong Xian shouted hysterically: "That is today's champion - Little Red Riding Hood. Here are the four finalists!"
Amid the wild applause of the audience, Lu Qi led the three people behind him to the stage. Zong Xian handed the microphone over and said, "Please give me your acceptance speech."
Lu Qi said unceremoniously: "I..."
Ah Ya punched Zong Xian and said, "There's no competition yet, okay?"
The audience laughed and applauded their wonderful cooperation and antics.
Zong Xian snatched the microphone from Lu Qi's hand and said, "What are you doing? You won't be able to speak until later!" Lu Qi glared at him. If he hadn't been on stage, he would have hit him directly. Zong Xian stuffed the microphone away.
