From unemployment in crosstalk to top star in Chinese entertainment

On the giant screen, the final rankings of the first round were slowly set.

1. Yu Liang——97.8 points

2. Zhai Tianlin – 94.5 points

3. Zhou Xiao'ou – 93 points

4. White Lily——90.3 points

5. Dilireba – 89.1 points

6. Jia Jialiang – 88.7 points

7. Hua Chenyu – 87.7 points

Inside the studio, applause erupted once again.

Hua Chenyu stared at the rankings, his fingers gripping the seam of his trousers tightly. He secretly comforted himself, telling himself that the next round would truly be his home turf.

Jia Jialiang leaned back on the sofa armrest, staring at the score on the big screen with a bitter expression.

Although Hua Chenyu appears to be at the bottom of the rankings, it is actually himself who is in a precarious and dangerous situation.

On the judges' panel, Nayoung and Wu Yifan were talking in hushed tones, their expressions quite different.

Yang Mi did not look at the scoring screen.

Her gaze swept across the judges' table and landed on the preparation area projected onto the screen. The camera captured Yu Liang packing up her belongings, preparing to leave.

The live stream chat instantly captured this moment and flooded the screen with comments.

[Was Yang Mi looking at Yu Liang the whole time?]

[Screenshot taken! Something's off about that look!]

[I hope she's not holding a grudge and wants to settle scores with Yu Liang, hahaha]

Wang Han stood in the center of the stage, calmly facing the camera.

"The first round of the competition, 'The Sound,' has now come to an end. Thank you to the seven guests for their wonderful performances."

He paused briefly, then continued in a calm tone.

"The order of appearance in the next round of the 'Crossover Singer' competition will be based on the rankings of this round."

Those ranked lower on the list will take the stage first, while those ranked higher will appear last.

"The excitement continues tomorrow at the same time. See you there!"

As the applause subsided and the lights dimmed, the first half of the recording officially came to a close.

Since the second half of the recording was to be completed the following morning, the contestants stayed in Xiang City for the time being, and the production team had already made arrangements for their hotel accommodations.

Zhou Xiao'ou walked past Yu Liang, smiled, and gave him a thumbs up: "Young man, you're good."

Zhai Tianlin followed closely behind, stepped forward, raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder, his eyes revealing his undisguised admiration.

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher," Yu Liang replied with a calm smile.

Zhai Tianlin didn't say much, waved his hand, and left with his assistant.

Hua Chenyu was surrounded by staff as she left. Before leaving, she subconsciously glanced at Dilireba, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and walked out of the hall.

Bai Baihe's assistant quickly stepped forward, promptly handed her drinking water, and opened a parasol when they reached the door.

Before Dilireba set off, he smiled and waved to Yu Liang.

The hall gradually emptied out.

Just as Yu Liang was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting in the corner.

It is Jia Jialiang.

The man, who used to be full of variety show sense, humor, and cheerfulness, now looked gloomy, silent, and exuded a sense of depression and loneliness.

Yu Liang paused slightly, just as Jia Jialiang raised his head to look at him.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and Jia Jialiang forced a bitter smile. The two looked at each other from a distance, and then said nothing more.

In his previous life, he worked in the martial arts world and witnessed the coldness of human relationships and the breakdown of marriages.

It's not uncommon for colleagues in the industry to return home to find their homes empty and their assets gone after filming.

He actually admired Jia Jialiang. Despite being caught in a media storm and emotional turmoil, he never deliberately tried to smear or slander others, but always silently endured all the grievances.

In May, Xiangshi is filled with lush camphor trees, their dense foliage obscuring the sky.

Warm sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the clean asphalt road, gentle and quiet.

After a simple dinner, Yu Liang returned to her hotel room alone, took a shower, dried her hair until it was half dry, and lay down on the bed.

My phone vibrated slightly, and a message popped up.

It was sent by Wang Churan.

"Yu Liang, your voice acting for that scene was absolutely amazing!"

"Oh, not at all, I just performed normally."

Yu Liang smiled slightly, a slight curve to her lips.

After a brief chat, Wang Churan returned to filming, quickly ending the conversation.

Yu Liang put down her phone and tossed and turned in bed.

Whether it was the humid climate of Xiangshi or the difficulty in adapting to the new environment, he was wide awake and had no choice but to pick up his phone again and start scrolling through short videos.

Big data is exceptionally perceptive; out of ten videos, apart from one about replacing a coupler, the rest are mostly videos of coupler replacement.

Out of desperation, he casually followed a dozen or so female bloggers until he found a compilation video of horseshoe repair, at which point he reluctantly stopped scrolling.

Meanwhile, in the guest room next door.

Jia Jialiang sat cross-legged on the bed, silently reciting the lyrics, repeatedly pondering the melody and emotions.

He prepared for the next round of competition for a long time, and after lunch in the afternoon, he went to the studio to rehearse twice.

The song chosen for the competition was deliberately selected by netizens – "Not That Proud".

He knew that this was an unspoken joke circulating online, but every word and phrase perfectly captured his current predicament and reflected the absurdity of his New Year's Eve.

"Don't be so arrogant. I might leave at any time. You haven't even held my hand yet..."

"Why haven't you seen how good I am yet?"

Now, none of that matters anymore.

Jia Jialiang rolled up the tissues next to him, forming a tight ring shape.

At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind: "Once you put on the headband, you are no longer an ordinary person. You can no longer indulge in any worldly desires."

He slowly raised the headband with both hands and gently put it on his head.

He reminded himself that the happy Jaga Liang was already dead once the fairy witch of Bandle City was injected with hip-hop elements.

the next morning.

The first episode of "The Actor's Singing" marks the official start of the "Crossover Singer" competition.

The entire stage was magnificent and dazzling, with exquisite and complex lighting design, a style completely different from yesterday's dubbing stage.

The three judges took the stage first and performed songs in turn.

As the first top idol to sing, Kris Wu chose an English single with a very strong rhythm.

The stage was set up smoothly and efficiently, with powerful electronic sound effects resounding throughout the studio, instantly igniting the atmosphere and causing the live stream chat to explode with activity.

[Kris Wu's aura is off the charts!]

[A man whose electronic music talent is ingrained in his bones!]

[A top-tier celebrity's appearance instantly elevates the entire event's level.]

After finishing his song, Wu Yifan bowed slightly, and the entire audience erupted in applause. As he walked back to the judges' table, Nayoung gave him a thumbs-up.

Yang Mi followed closely behind, becoming the second to appear.

She slowly rose from the judges' table and walked gracefully to the center of the stage. A shower of dazzling lights cascaded down, gently outlining her delicate and radiant features, making her exceptionally beautiful.

A gentle prelude slowly begins.

Screams immediately erupted from the audience.

"Holding you in my hands, I devoutly burn incense..."

Yang Mi held the microphone and sang softly with her red lips.

The comments section went crazy.

Hey, who said my sister isn't a singer? Come out here and show yourself!

The EDM goddess may be late, but she's finally here!

For some reason, this song only sounds right when sung by Yang Mi.

Have you ever considered that it's because of this song that you've chosen it as your master?
