Chapter 165 Show (for Subscription)

On October 10th, the weather was not so good and it started to rain.

The rain was not heavy, but it was cold, and the air was filled with a cold and damp atmosphere.

In the early afternoon, Ding Ning, his parents, and Ma Chu arrived at the gymnasium of Shen City Drama Academy.

Yang Du, Zhang Xuan and Ye Di also arrived, but not with him.

After accompanying his parents to the family seat, Ding Ning gave the elder brother and Ma Chu a warm hug for the sake of the camera. Then, following the camera, he took the elevator confidently and went down to the backstage that seemed to be located below the stage.

In this PK competition, the contestants who will be on stage are not together. The two groups have different backgrounds, they are not in the same group, and they cannot see each other.

The reason for doing this is that the order in which the contestants will appear on stage has not been determined in the upcoming competition. At that time, the instructor will watch the situation of the competition and choose whoever he wants to perform.

If they could see each other, they would lose their sense of mystery, and would not be able to whet the appetite of the audience.

The reason why there is really no prior arrangement, most of the audience may believe it, the players really do not know who they will face in advance, but Ding Ning does not believe that the mentors did not communicate in private.

After holding so many Best New Voice and Young Singer Competitions, there is a very delicate situation, that is, it is impossible for a certain mentor group to have too many or very few contestants qualify. From the PK competition to the final, each mentor group The number of players who can qualify is basically balanced.

If there is no communication in advance, it is impossible to achieve such a tacit balance.

Therefore, in the final analysis, this is a competition, but also a show. Unless the strength is particularly outstanding, the life and death of the contestants are basically in the hands of the instructor and the program team.

Of course, there are also some players who suddenly exploded, or they failed to live up to expectations, which led to accidents. The match between Qi Haisheng and Sun Lixin yesterday was a living example.

But some exceptions will not have much impact on the whole.

What's more, the mentors have another tacit understanding, that is, everyone will take into account each other's face. As long as the performance level of the two sides is not too different, whoever wins and loses can be considered. The result will be acceptable to everyone of.

When Ding Ning arrived at the backstage of his group, Xia Ziyan and other contestants were already there.

Xia Ziyan was dressed the same as yesterday, wide-leg pants, small shawl, very trendy. She was telling the contestants not to be nervous when they came on stage. Ding Ning greeted her, and then stood aside to listen to her chatting and laughing with the contestants, occasionally echoed out loud.

At [-]:[-], it was time for the instructors to enter the arena. Before going on stage, Xia Ziyan approached Ding Ning alone: ​​"Are you nervous?"

"It's okay." Ding Ning smiled.

Xia Ziyan patted Ding Ning's arm: "Come on, you are my most reliable player, I believe in you."

"Thank you, Teacher Xia." Ding Ning thanked.

Xia Ziyan dared to accept the other contestants calling her teacher, but Ding Ning called her teacher, and she panicked when she heard it: "Don't call me teacher, maybe after the young singer contest is over, you will be more popular than me, call me teacher!" My sister Xia is fine."

This is of course an exaggeration, but Xia Ziyan did not dare to regard Ding Ning as a student.

The day before yesterday, when the recommended competition was broadcast, Ding Ning's new album sales exceeded 60 in just one day, which seemed to be a trend to hit platinum sales.

And Ding Ning is only 20 years old this year. If his first album can win platinum sales and become a platinum singer, he will undoubtedly be the most important newcomer so far this year. It goes without saying that his future is bright.

What's more, Su Tao and Lemon Soda, which have become famous recently, have swept all major platforms with their songs written by Ding Ning, and their creative talents are placed there.

Such a person, in the singer world, even if his popularity status is not equal to her, he is already number one.If he hadn't already started his own company, entertainment giants such as Universal and Maisui would have to fight for him, and she couldn't afford to be his teacher.

"Teacher Xia is being modest." Ding Ning felt that there was nothing wrong with calling her a teacher. The three of them must have my teacher. Xia Ziyan is better than him in many aspects, so it's no big deal to call him "teacher".

Ding Ning still called Teacher Xia, Xia Ziyan frowned and pretended to be angry, "Call me Miss Xia!"

If you don't want to bark, don't bark, Ding Ning smiled and said, "Okay, sister Xia."

"That's right." Sister Xia felt much more comfortable listening, and Xia Ziyan put on a smile again: "I'll go on stage first, you need to encourage everyone backstage and give everyone some confidence."

"Yeah." Xia Ziyan thought he was the big brother in the team, but he was actually the youngest in the team, and Ding Ning couldn't tell the embarrassment that everyone looked at him with mixed expressions.

Xia Ziyan immediately went on stage, and not long after the opening ended, she went backstage and took away Ren Zhiliang, who was the first player to PK on stage.

Looking at the first round of competition, Ren Zhiliang was the second best player in the group, and his online popularity was also quite high. He is currently ranked fifth, second only to him, Cao Liya, Qiu Yiyi, and Jiang Yu.

Xia Ziyan sent him to play first, Ding Ning felt that there was a sense of momentum.

Ding Ning guessed that this first match would definitely be a strong dialogue. Sure enough, Peng Jianxing sent Xie Lebin, who was quite outstanding in the recommendation group competition.

"Damn it, it's exciting, Ding Ning, who do you think will win?"

Seeing Xie Lebin play, Xue Kai was very surprised.

These two powerful players faced each other in the first match, and they had to decide the winner to eliminate one, which was really beyond his expectation.

"It must be Ren Zhiliang." Having said that, Ding Ning guessed that Ren Zhiliang might be eliminated.

Because although Ren Zhiliang performed well in the first round, his characteristics are not outstanding enough, and his lyrical positioning is too popular.

In the previous youth singer competitions, the distribution of those who can go to the end, whether it is a duel between groups or a strangle between the winners, basically maintains this distribution: one sings fast songs, one sings lyrical pop, and one sings lyrical pop. Folk or rock, the rest will be ancient, jazz, fresh, retro pop or more partial according to the characteristics of the contestants over the years.

In this era when popular songs are popular, there will always be the most popular lyric singers who sing the most popular songs, and the competition will be greater.

Ren Zhiliang and Xie Lebin have similar positions and strengths, but there are very few players in the Peng Jianxing group who are favored, and none of the top five players in the online popularity rankings. For the needs of the follow-up program, such a person must be promoted.

The powerful Xie Lebin is an ideal candidate.Naturally, Ren Zhiliang may become a victim like a stepping stone.

This victim is quite important, and the effect will of course be better, which is exactly in line with the needs of the program group to create topics and make Xie Lebin popular.

As Ding Ning expected, the two still maintained their lyrical style. After the duel, Xie Lebin had the upper hand in everything from the mentor's opinion to the music jury's vote, and Ren Zhiliang was eliminated from the stage.

It was an upset, and it was also the first climax of tonight's competition. Ding Ning could imagine what kind of reports would be published on the website that followed the Young Singer Contest two weeks later.

Players who have already played the game will be led to a special lounge and will not return to the backstage.

Xia Ziyan came back in the elevator, she was disappointed when she entered the door, and her tone was filled with annoyance: "I didn't expect Mr. Peng Jianxing to send Xie Lebin to the stage, I really didn't expect it!"

Walking quickly to the surrounding contestants, she paused solemnly, and then said: "Don't be under pressure, let's let Mr. Peng win in the last game, and we will definitely win back later. Gao Jianqing, You are very capable, this game is entrusted to you, you must show your strength."

"Don't worry teacher, I will definitely win!" Gao Jianqing has no choice whether he wins or not, but he knows that his performance will be shown on TV now, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must show his confidence.

"Okay, come with me, let's have a good fight!"

Saying that, Xia Ziyan took Gao Jianqing's hand, and strode towards the elevator with full momentum.

As soon as she left, Xue Kai and the other three immediately whispered to each other in the backstage where there were only five people left, discussing whether Gao Jianqing could win.

Xue Kai, who had a better relationship with Ding Ning, saw that Ding Ning was silent, so he asked Ding Ning, "Ding Ning, do you think Gao Jianqing can win?"

Ding Ning smiled and replied, "I will definitely win."

Xue Kai didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was hard for him to say that other players would win, because in Ren Zhiliang's previous match, he also said that Ren Zhiliang would win, but in the end he lost.

Ding Ning himself was very sure that Gao Jianqing would definitely win, and his opponent would definitely be a weakling.

He really guessed it right. Peng Jianxing sent Zhao An'an, a low-popular player who didn't even pay much attention to him, in the second round.

Naturally, Gao Jianqing won.

In the next three, four, five, and six rounds, except for the fifth and sixth rounds, Ding Ning basically beat the opponents. As for the outcome, he guessed everything correctly.

After six games, Peng Jianxing's team, whose overall strength is really not very good, used Tian Ji's tricky strategy like a horse race to win three players, and the team with the most talented players was [-]-[-].

It was an unbelievable result. Ding Ning became more and more convinced that this was a show. Not to mention that everything was under the control of the program group, at least the overall situation must be controlled and guided by the program group.

As for the last competition, he represented Xia Ziyan's group finale, and the finale of Peng Jianxing's group was a 16-year-old pink and tender melon. His strength could only be said to be higher than the average person, but he was far behind professional singers. The end is set.

"You are the only one left, are you confident?" Xia Ziyan, who got off the elevator, asked knowingly.

Ding Ning, who had watched so many games, was completely relaxed. Before Xia Ziyan entered the room, he greeted Xia Ziyan and smiled cooperatively: "Yes, let's play, teacher."

During this part of the meeting on TV, Xia Ziyan did not correct Ding Ning's address to her.She took Ding Ning's hand and said with a smile: "I just like your confidence, go out and wish you victory!"

"Must!" Xia Ziyan's hands were a little cold, and Ding Ning's heart was also a little cold after seeing the essence of the competition, but his face was still bright.

The law of the jungle has always been the rule of society, no matter how thoroughly he sees it, all he can do is to do what he should do.

Since this is a show, then show it well, show your demeanor, show yourself, show it so that everyone knows that no matter what the ending is, he will definitely be the brightest star in the night sky.
