Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 15, Section 15: Recording the Second Stage of "The Voice of China"

in the afternoon
Military training continues.

Zhang Jingyi placed her things on a shady cement platform and walked into the company. When everyone had almost gathered, she quietly looked back.

Upon realizing that it wasn't Lin Shaobai behind him, he immediately turned to the side.

"What about people?"

The boy standing behind her looked completely bewildered: "Huh? Someone? That's me."

Zhang Jingyi looked around: "Where did he go again?"

After understanding, the male student's face darkened: "..."

……

……

……

Meanwhile, Lin Shaobai had already gone to the TV station to prepare for recording the second season of The Voice of China.

This time, we're recording the mentor's devilish six-fold cycle battle royale.

The names are fancy, but to put it simply, it's four teams competing against each other in pairs.

The four mentors, Na Ying, Liu Huan, Zhou Dong, and Chen Yixun, formed four teams after the previous blind audition round.

They need to divide the team into three groups, with each group representing the team once, and the opponents coming from the other three teams.

The competition consisted of six rounds, with 51 veteran musicians from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong serving as judges.

Each trainee fights with the honor of their team on their shoulders. The winner stays on stage and eliminates one trainee from the opposing team. Conversely, if the winner leaves, their team's strength will be weakened.

Jay Chou is very responsible for each student. He provides comprehensive training to students in all aspects, from pitch, emotion, interaction, to costume and styling, and never overlooks any detail.

The production team rehearsed 20 hours in advance. Lin Shaobai had been communicating with Jay Chou about the song during breaks from filming, and then he made a point of skipping lunch today to practice here.

We squeezed in time throughout the entire process.

Jay Chou is very satisfied with Lin Shaobai.

His strategy was different from Yingzi's. Yingzi's team was holding back their trump cards, such as Xilinna Yigao, Ye Xuanqing, Guo Qin, and other students who would appear later.

Jay Chou prefers to place the more stable trainees in the front row.

He trusted Lin Shaobai completely, and this was the sound he absolutely had to film, so he decided to let Lin Shaobai be the first to appear.

The four mentors high-fived each other backstage, while also encouraging their team members.

Once everything was ready, the audience entered and took their seats in turn, and the recording officially began.

Zhou Ye, who had no classes in the afternoon, specially bought a plane ticket to come here as an audience member.

She was quite lucky; she was selected both times she applied.

Wearing a white T-shirt and a black baseball cap, with her long black hair hanging down naturally, she looked like a completely innocent college girl.

She came alone this time, without any friends by her side.

If last time it was to watch the show, this time it's simply to see Lin Shaobai.

After Zhou Ye sat down in section B of the audience, he pressed down on his hat.

Soon, the host, Hua Shao, walked onto the stage.

"To audiences worldwide, this is the first battle of the second season of 'The Voice of China' mentors' devilish six-fold cycle battle royale."

"Each mentor will face off against the other mentors one by one, in a three-round cycle. The rules of this stage allow for the potential elimination of a single mentor's entire team. Please give a warm round of applause to the top nine contestants from each group!!!"

The cheers from the crowd were even louder than before, and Zhou Ye, seeing everyone around her stand up, also waved her hands.

"First, let's welcome the top nine members of Teacher Liu Huan's 'Happy Leopard' team: Zaxi, Xiaochuan, and Xiaohu..."

After Liu Huan's team finished their performance, Hua Shao turned to Liu Huan and said, "Before the official start, does Teacher Liu Huan have any advice for your students?"

After Liu Huan said a few words, the host continued the questioning process.

Next, the students from Na Ying and Chen Yixun's teams came out one by one, and after their appearances, they stood in a row, where the two mentors gave them their instructions. Finally, it was Jay Chou's team's turn.

"Next, let's welcome the top nine contestants from Zhou Jielun's team. They are Dong Ziyan, Lin Shaobai..."

Lin Shaobai was the second to appear in the line, and he waved to the audience as he entered.

After searching for a while, Zhou Ye finally saw Lin Shaobai, whom he had been longing for!

"Lin Shaobai!!!!!"

This was the loudest she had ever shouted.

Because she was so excited, the audience around her looked at her with strange eyes.

I thought the little girl was so well-behaved, but when she started yelling, she sounded like a crazy woman.

Zhou Ye returned to her seat, slightly embarrassed, and resumed her previous ladylike demeanor: "Lin Shaobai, keep it up... I've come to see you."

On stage, Hua Shao continued into the microphone, "Mentor Jie Lun, what would you like to say to the team?"

Jay Chou: "In my experience, people used to say that you have to be mindful of winning and losing. But I think it's different this time. You have to be more mindful of winning and losing. Only when you lose will you reflect on why you lost. So you should be happy, joyful, and serious about playing a fun game, because a competition is a game. So, have fun."

"Thank you, mentor Jay Chou." Hua Shao turned around and looked at the nine students: "What are your team mottos?"

Lin Shaobai immediately raised the microphone and began: "Team Jelun!"

The other team members shouted in unison: "The strongest on earth!"

Lin Shaobai: "Hey, not bad!"

The moment this joke came out, everyone laughed. Apart from Jay Chou, the other three mentors also clapped and laughed.

The team's motto was designed by Jay Chou himself, and Lin Shaobai was only responsible for its execution.

He also felt the design was a bit awkward, but he couldn't refute it π_π.

Jay Chou's choice of Lin Shaobai is quite unique.

First of all, he is the only one among the nine who can create music, and he is also very handsome.

The camera will definitely give him a close-up, so increasing the exposure is a good thing.

"Everyone, please return to the preparation area."

"The first round will feature a match between Zhou Jielun's team and Na Ying's team."

"You have 30 seconds to decide who you will send out. The 30-second countdown begins now!"

Jay Chou took the tokens engraved with the students' names directly out of the box and said confidently, "It won't take 30 seconds, just 10 seconds."

As the countdown ended, the two mentors walked onto the stage and stood next to the host.

Hua Shao revealed the front of the token: "Mentor Zhou Jielun, the first student he chose to fight, his name is Lin Shaobai!"

Yingzi's eyes widened when she heard Lin Shaobai's name.

And he muttered to himself, "Lin Shaobai?"

I never expected it to be Lin Shaobai!

Yingzi panicked slightly.

After all, Lin Shaobai's strength in the first match was undeniable.

He's tall and handsome, pleasing to the eye, and also a songwriter with a great singing voice—truly a candidate for the prince of love songs.

How can we possibly fight this?!

Yingzi gritted her teeth, then clenched her fists.

The other host continued, "The first student to face off against mentor Na-Ying's team is Xie Hui-Xian."

This girl has an elfin voice and a rather playful appearance.

Host: "Please welcome our two students to the stage!"
