As a music event in the entire Milky Way, Sing! Milky Way had been held for many years. Many elites in the music and entertainment industry had graduated from here, and it was indeed very famous. Therefore, the big arena was almost full — more than a million people were seated neatly in more than two hundred laps. The entire arena covered an area of more than two hundred square kilometers. In the center was a huge stage — this was the good thing about the virtual world. It was big enough, and it used the latest technology. The performance on the stage was synchronized with holographic projection. It was equivalent to magnifying the contestants' bodies countless times. Therefore, no matter where they sat, they could clearly see the entire competition process without any blind spots.
At this time, the competition was about to begin. The host was already standing on the stage, explaining the various rules of the competition and introducing the guests.
"Sister Heloise." Backstage, a few female singers who had already acknowledged Heloise as their boss asked softly, "Who are the guests today?"
As a contestant with a powerful background, Heloise naturally knew who the guests were. Being called Big Sister made her very happy. Therefore, she smiled and replied, "Everyone here today is a heavyweight. After all, this is the semi-finals. Only three people will be selected from the hundred contestants. Therefore, these guests are all very powerful people. The first is the runner-up from Shenluo City in the past three Sing! Franklin. He's very strong. The second is the previous Sing! Shenluo division champion, Brianna. Her high notes are top-notch. The third is the super famous arranger, Mr. Lake. The last is one of the most powerful veteran singers in Shenluo City, Mr. Kristel. The fact that they came personally today shows that they really value the results this time. "
The four people she mentioned were indeed seniors in the music industry who were known by almost every household in Shenluo City.
Franklin was about thirty years old. He was quite handsome and was the runner-up of Sing! Shenluo division in the past three Sing! His name was well-known in the entire Milky Way.
Not to mention Brianna. She was the champion of Shenluo City. She was young and beautiful. She had countless suitors. Her net worth was more than sixty million Galaxy Dollars. It was definitely shocking.
Mr. Lake was the most famous composer in the entire Shenluo City. Countless singers had their value skyrocket just because they sang one of his songs. It was definitely not just for show.
The last person was Kristel, an extremely famous veteran singer. He could be said to be an evergreen tree in the music industry. Several of his students had entered the top three of the Shenluo division, and his popularity was astonishing.
Sure enough, after hearing Heloise's introduction, all the singers gasped. The one who asked the question just now kept patting his chest. "Oh my god, it's actually these four people. Once they came, I feel so much pressure. Amazing, amazing!"
The others nodded vehemently.
After all, the stronger the guests were, the more picky they were.
According to the rules of Sing! Milky Way, each of the four guests had one vote. This meant that each of them had one vote. This vote was worth one thousand and five hundred points.
If all four of them passed, that would be 6000 points. The remaining points would be calculated according to the rules. The live audience's rating, the votes of the listeners online, and the popularity on the internet would be calculated according to the ratio. Finally, the first, second, and third runners-up would be chosen.
It was no exaggeration to say that if any of the four were not satisfied with the score, they would definitely be eliminated.
Therefore, when they heard that the four of them were the guests, everyone felt immense pressure.
Although Heloise had a strong background, that did not mean that she could do whatever she wanted. Therefore, the pressure was multiplied. After all, in the music industry, the audience did not care about the background. They only cared about whether the song was good or not. Especially these four people. They were famous for having high expectations. If they did not perform well, there would only be one result — elimination.
"Hu, I must calm down." Taking a deep breath, Heloise secretly encouraged herself. When she had calmed down, she suddenly looked at Li Nianwei, who was alone in the distance. She sneered and said, "Hehe, previously I was still a little worried that you would be able to advance. But this time, with these four people as guests, just wait for your death. They are not the usual kind of harsh."
…
On the stage.
Soon, the host finished his speech and the audience quietened down.
Sing! Milky Way was about to begin!
As an evergreen in Shenluo City's music industry, Kristel was a little disgusted with today's competition.
To be honest, ever since he heard the order from the higher-ups, Kristel had a little thought of refusing to go on stage. After all, in his heart, music was sacred and absolutely inviolable. But the higher-ups actually gave the order to pay special attention to a female singer named Heloise. Kristel had seen Heloise's photos. She was indeed a beauty. He had also heard her songs. Her singing was commendable. But there was still a huge gap between her and the perfect singer in his heart.
Actually, it was not a big deal to give such a singer a pass. But in Kristel's heart, once the competition was mixed with shady dealings, it was quite boring.
He had a lot of things to do every day. If there were shady dealings, he could just find someone else to do it. Why bother his old bones? Music with shady dealings was very boring.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's see if I can dig out a talented singer first." Kristel thought to himself. "Although there are shady dealings, I just have to try my best to be fair to others." Although Heloise had a strong backing, Kristel was still quite relieved. The rules of Sing! Milky Way did not affect others too much. It was better than having to follow the previous one. The four judges had a total of six thousand points. If there were any good talents, they would all pass. The rest would depend on popularity. It had little to do with him.
Soon, the host announced the contestants to go on stage.
"So, dear ladies and gentlemen," the host said loudly, "let's welcome our first contestant, Madam Pu Xiaolian!"
The audience instantly responded with extremely warm applause — there were a million people. One-tenth of them applauded for a hundred thousand people. It was a huge sound.
So, the performance began.
On Sing! Milky Way, the contestants were like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their prowess. Almost all the resources available were used. This Madam Pu Xiaolian brought more than a hundred backup dancers. The symphony orchestra behind her was made up of sixty people. It was a huge investment. Just this scale alone would cost at least tens of thousands of Galaxy Dollars.
But after all, in this music event, ability was the deciding factor. Madam Pu Xiaolian had just sung a few words when the four judges started discussing —
Franklin: "Looks not bad, but her performance is too impetuous."
Brianna: "Her voice is alright. She passes."
Lake: "The song is average, not very nice. The lyrics are so-so too."
Kristel: "Her performance is still not perfect."
Instantly, among the four judges, Franklin gave an X, Brianna gave an O, Lake gave an O, and Kristel gave an X.
The first contestant, Madam Pu Xiaolian, was eliminated. She left the stage in tears.
On the stage of Sing! Milky Way, it was so cruel. Out of the four judges, two did not pass and were directly eliminated. If only one did not pass, then it was still possible. Of course, the result was basically decided. If all four lights were lit, then it was indeed quite good.
The host went on stage. "Now, let's welcome the next contestant. Her name is Jian Tingyun. Her song is' Milky Way, My Love '. Let's welcome her with a round of applause."
A good-looking female singer in a gown walked on stage and bowed to the audience. Then, the performance began.
On Earth, the first contestants were basically the appetizers. Only those who performed well in the previous round would be the finale. But this was not the case for Sing! Milky Way. The rules were very simple — draw lots.
So, the order of the contestants' appearance depended entirely on luck. Li Nianwei's luck was slightly worse. She was still in the 98th place, third from the bottom.
In this Sing! Milky Way competition, it was relatively more worthwhile to be near the front. After all, there were a hundred contestants. The timeline was quite long. At the start, everyone was still relatively energetic and listened carefully. But the later it was, the more sleepy it was. At this time, the judges' tempers were the easiest to explode. Often, when the contestants went on stage at the end, the judges would easily click X without paying attention — so, when the two contestants who drew number 99 and 100, they cried immediately. They were heartbroken …
"Hahaha." Heloise looked at the number seven card in her hand and was overjoyed. "I'm number seven. At this time, the judges will definitely be very energetic. It won't be a problem to get a good score. As for Li Nianwei, number ninety-eight, the judges will probably be unable to sit still, right? Hahaha, sigh, sometimes, luck is also a part of one's ability. Accept your fate, hahaha! "
Soon, the second contestant also left the stage crying — he also drew two Xs.
Every contestant only had about two minutes to perform. Of course, if all four judges lit up their lights, they would receive special treatment — they could finish the song.
So, the first six contestants performed very quickly. It added up to a total of fifteen minutes. Two minutes was left for the host to introduce the contestants — after all, this was only the semi-finals. So, they had to start quickly. When it came to the actual preliminaries, semifinals, and finals, the battles were really intense. Every contestant had a full ten minutes to perform. It could be said to be a real battle between tigers and dragons.
"The next contestant is Miss Heloise from our Shenluo division's Sing! Milky Way. She will be performing 'Perfect Love Song' today. Please give her a round of applause!"
