They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 279 Two Protecting One
After singing the song "Running", the duo of Scheming Boy breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The introverted one even showed a satisfied smile, looking like his evil plan had succeeded.

Ye Haotian seemed a little depressed. As a high-quality human male, he was actually crushed in terms of IQ by two scheming boys who pretended to be crazy and stupid. This really embarrassed him.

The most important thing is that these two guys played dumb and showed a level higher level of strength in the actual performance than in the rehearsal. As a result, there is a high probability that Zhang Wei will not be able to advance.

Not only Zhang Wei, but Lu Yunxiang also seems to be in some jeopardy. His performance is on par with the duo of Scheming Boy. It depends on how the judges choose.

The judges were still the same three people as last time. After a brief discussion, they began to comment on each contestant.

"Ye Haotian, you performed very well. From the moment you opened your mouth, I could feel that you had very good control over your voice. Whether it was the passionate high notes or the deep low notes, you handled them just right, showing your solid singing skills."

"Lu Yunxiang, your performance was generally mediocre. You have a certain control over your voice, and it can be seen that you have a certain foundation in singing. However, I think there are still some areas where you can improve your performance, such as emotional expression. You can try to dig deeper into the connotation of the song."

"Zhang Wei, I have a very deep impression of you. I still can't forget the original song you sang during the preliminary round. However, your singing skills are really hard to describe!"

The judge sighed helplessly and continued, "Specifically, you need to practice more on voice control, pitch and rhythm. Practice more on voice control, pitch and rhythm.

Improving singing skills requires time and effort. I suggest you do more professional training, such as voice training, pitch training and rhythm training. At the same time, you can also listen to more excellent singing works and learn from other singers’ processing methods and techniques. "

"Liu Jian (introvert), your performance today really surprised me. I had the impression that you weren't very good at talking or expressing yourself during the audition. But in the song just now, I could feel your confident and calm temperament, which made you look very natural and smooth throughout the performance. Your body language was rich and appropriate, and it blended perfectly with the emotions of the song."

"Yang Tianyu (incoherent person), your high notes are very stable and contagious. You are very talented in this area. I suggest that you try to learn different ways to handle high notes in the future. However, you can further improve the emotional expression of songs and stage performance."

"To be honest, some of you are qualified to advance directly to the top 10 of the division, but our three promotion spots have all been used up, so we can only give you pending spots! There are currently three pending spots. Next, I will announce who will be pending and who will be eliminated!"

In fact, we can already guess the final result from the judges' comments just now.

Ye Haotian will definitely get one spot, the other two should go to Lu Yunxiang and the introvert, and Zhang Wei will definitely be eliminated.

Seeing that the judges were about to announce the result, Ye Haotian suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher judges, please wait a moment, I have something to say!"

"What do you want to say?" The three judges' eyes instantly turned into Wang Feng's, and they insisted that the contestant tell a story before leaving.

Ye Haotian said, "Three teachers, I have decided to give up and withdraw from the competition of "Faster Boys".

"What? You want to withdraw from the competition?" The three were shocked at the same time.

"Ye Haotian, you have to think carefully. Although the qualification you will get next will be pending, with your level, if you perform normally, you should be able to enter the top ten of the region, and even have a chance to enter the next 48-hour breakout competition." One of the judges said immediately.

"I've thought it through." Ye Haotian nodded.

"Why don't you think about it again? This is a rare opportunity!" the judge continued to advise.

"Teacher judges, the truth is, even if I can successfully advance, I will not be able to participate in subsequent competitions. Because I have received an admission letter from Harvard University in the United States, so I will go to Harvard to study soon. I have seen the competition schedule, and it conflicts with my reporting time to Harvard, so I can only withdraw from the competition. I hope the judges can understand!"

"I can't believe, Ye Haotian, that you're such a top student that you got an admission letter from Harvard University! Your information shows that you're 22 years old this year. Should you be going to the U.S. to study for a master's degree?" the judge asked.

"Yes." Ye Haotian nodded.

"Where did you study for your undergraduate degree?" the judge asked.

"Tsing Hua University." Ye Haotian answered.

"It turns out that he is a top student at Tsinghua University and can go to Harvard for graduate studies. No wonder!" The judges sighed lightly and instantly understood Ye Haotian's decision.

If you participate in "Hurry Up Boys", you can at best be a singer. Not only do you have to work for a record company for several years, but you also need the right time, place and people to become famous. If you really want to become a famous singer, you don't know how many years it will take.

To put it another way, record companies sign so many singers and release so many records every year, but how many of them can become popular? If you want to be popular, you must at least have a good song to show off, but it is highly likely that you will not have a good song.

If you study at Harvard, you will have the opportunity to become a U.S. citizen, and then you will be a foreigner! Even if you cannot become a U.S. citizen, as a Harvard graduate, it is a sure thing to get a U.S. green card, and you will be half a foreigner.

In the era when "Yilin" was everywhere, America was a paradise. Being half-foreign was definitely better than being an unknown singer!

If it were other contestants, let alone being given a U.S. green card, even if they were asked to become U.S. citizens, they would give up participating in the competition and would go to the U.S. to beg for food.

Ye Haotian glanced at Zhang Wei and continued, "Another reason why I chose to abstain is because of my brother. Although his performance today was not satisfactory, his talent in music should not be buried. I think he will definitely be able to write many popular songs, so I am willing to withdraw and hope that there will be an extra spot for my brother!"

These words are equivalent to blatantly canvassing for votes for Zhang Wei, and the subtext is that he hopes to give his pending seat to Zhang Wei.

The judges naturally understood what he said. The three of them exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Okay, Ye Haotian, we respect your choice, and we hope that you will have a bright future in the United States!

But after all, this is a competition, and it’s all about strength. Even if you give up a confirmed spot, we will choose who will enter the waiting list based on their performance in the singing just now!
Okay, now we are going to announce the results. The last three spots to be determined in the 50 to 10 competition in the Beijing region of "Go Boys" are..."

"Judges, please wait a moment!" Lu Yunxiang stood up suddenly.

"Lu Yunxiang, do you have something to say?"

"Dear judge, I want to confirm that if you are eliminated in today's competition, you cannot be resurrected, right?" Lu Yunxiang asked.

"Of course, it's written in the rules. Elimination means elimination." The judge nodded.

"If you are eliminated, you can't enter the waiting area, right?" Lu Yunxiang asked again.

"That's natural. Elimination means that the contestant's competition is over and he can go home. Whether other contestants advance or are pending, it has nothing to do with this contestant." The judge explained impatiently.

"Okay, then. I'll give up. I've decided to withdraw from the 'Hurry Up Boys' competition." Lu Yunxiang said.

"You're quitting too? Have you thought it through? Your performance just now was pretty good, and you have a chance to enter the waiting area. And Ye Haotian has already given up, so now it's up to the four of you to compete for three waiting spots, and your chances are very high!"

The judges almost made it clear that Lu Yunxiang could get the pending spot.

However, Lu Yunxiang said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I have decided to withdraw from "Faster Boys". I also hope that the judges can follow the rules and give the pending spots to the remaining three contestants."

After hearing what Lu Yunxiang said, everyone instantly understood that Lu Yunxiang also intended to protect Zhang Wei from being eliminated.

Once Lu Yunxiang withdraws from the competition, the remaining three contestants will directly get the pending places and no one will be eliminated.

Moreover, Lu Yunxiang was worried that the judges would give the pending spots to others, so he specifically confirmed that the eliminated contestants could not be revived. The 50 to 10 competition was recorded in its entirety and would be broadcast as a program in the future. Everything the judges said had been recorded, so of course they could not go back on their words.

However, the three judges felt like they were being tricked.

Zhang Wei's singing was indeed not good, and they were planning to eliminate Zhang Wei, but they didn't expect that the contestant would take advantage of the rules and keep Zhang Wei.

I am a judge! I have to listen to the organizers and sponsors. Even the contestants are plotting against me. Don’t I have any dignity left?
Thinking of this, one of the judges asked gloomily: "Lu Yunxiang, are you going to study in the United States too?"

"I'm only a junior in college. If I want to go to the United States, I'll have to go next year." The show-off replied with a smile.

"Then you need to give me a reason to withdraw from the competition." The judge's tone became stern.

"Well, there are two reasons. The first one is the same as Ye Haotian's. My brother Zhang Wei's musical talent should not be buried. He specially prepared a song for today's competition, a very, very good song. He originally wanted to give it to me, but I think it would be better for him to sing it himself! As for the second reason..."

A playful smile appeared on the face of the pretender.

When Zhang Wei and Ye Haotian saw this smile, they knew that the show-off was going to act tough again.

The pretender said, "The second reason is that my father doesn't allow me to continue participating in the competition."

"The parents don't agree?" One of the judges instinctively looked at the contestant's information and said, "Your registration information shows that you are 21 years old. You are an adult! You can make your own decisions and pursue your musical dreams!"

The pretentious guy continued, "I participated in 'Go Boys' because I had a dream of becoming a star. But when my dad heard about it, he thought that participating in such a talent show would take several months, which was too slow and a waste of time, so he just paid money and invested in a movie for me to act in!"

"What? Making a movie?" The three judges were stunned at the same time.

In the entertainment industry, among stars of the same level, a movie star’s influence may not be as great as that of a singer, but a movie star’s status is definitely higher than that of a singer. This is basically the case whether in Asia, Europe, or North America.

Of course, there are individual exceptions that can transcend this rule, such as god-level figures like MJ, but such exceptions cannot represent the entertainment industry as a whole. Isn't there only one MJ in all these years?

It is also because the film and television industry is more prestigious. Many singers will act in several film and television works after becoming famous, as if if you don’t show your face on the big screen, you don’t have prestige and you are not popular enough.

If you can win a few more film and television awards, then your career as an artist will basically be complete. Many dual-role artists who can sing and act are the top figures in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, when the three judges heard that Lu Yunxiang was going to act in a movie, they were stunned at first, and then their confidence weakened a little.

The person in front of me is a movie star! This is a level higher than a music star!
Who would want to participate in a music talent show when there are movies to act in?
It makes sense to give up talent shows and act in movies!
By the way, Mr. Lu seemed to have said just now that his father invested money to let him act in movies!

This is a rich second generation!

"May I ask what industry your father is in?" one of the guests couldn't help but ask.

"It mainly uses machinery to go deep into the earth's surface and peel off the remains of ancient organisms from the rock layers."

The three judges were immediately confused.

"Speak human language!" Zhang Wei next to him snorted coldly.

“It’s coal mining.”

Three guests, please take another look at the information of this contestant. His ancestral home is in Shanxi. Could he be the legendary coal boss?

The coal boss’s generosity in investing in movies has long been known throughout the entertainment industry!

The next second, the three guests looked at Lu Yunxiang with different eyes.

By the way, are you still looking for a role in your movie? Just a face and a line will do! I also want to be a movie star.

……

In the players' rest area, Zhang Wei looked at Ye Haotian and Lu Yunxiang, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I'm going to the United States in the summer and don't have time to participate in this competition!" Ye Haotian spread his hands.

"I'm going to shoot a movie this summer and don't have time to participate in this competition!" The pretentious guy also imitated Ye Haotian and spread his hands.

"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Wei sighed and continued, "I originally came here to accompany the prince to study, but now I'm the prince!"

"Brother, after listening to the song you wrote, I think you should go to a bigger stage to show yourself. Come on, sing well, just sing the new song you taught me. It's such a good song, I'm sure I can advance."

"Although you don't sing very well, you can defeat them with your talent. I'm optimistic about you!" Ye Haotian also echoed.

"I understand. I'll do my best!" Zhang Wei nodded.

With Ye Haotian and Lu Yunxiang's abstention, Zhang Wei was sent to the pending group.

The next fifteen contestants to be determined will take turns to sing their own songs to compete for the top 10 spots in the final seven regions.

This time, the judges will not directly decide who advances and who is eliminated, but will wait until all contestants have finished singing before discussing the final result.

This kind of competition is obviously beneficial to Zhang Wei. If others sing old songs and he sings original songs, one good song is enough to turn the tables.

After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally his turn.

Standing on the stage, Zhang Wei said, "Hello, judges. I am going to sing an original song."

"Is it still the song 'Suddenly I Miss You'? Perfect, I want to relive it again."

"No." Zhang Wei shook his head: "This time the song is called "You Are Not Really Happy"."

"The song changed?" The three judges looked at Zhang Wei in surprise at the same time.

This is a big adventure!
