Tuesday finally arrived. Cao Yaoli and He Yimin rushed from Jiangcheng Media University in Tingshan District to Binhai District early in the afternoon. Like the other public judges who had been notified to participate in the first episode of the show, they had dressed up meticulously before coming to the TV station. The two girls looked youthful and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament!
Cao Yaoli and the girls arrived early. After queuing for a while, it was their turn to sign in, get their number tags, tickets, and meal vouchers. After they came out, they looked at the long queue behind them and couldn't help but click their tongues.
He Yimin exclaimed, "So many people!"
"Isn't that so? Five hundred people, and we don't even know how many teams to sign in. How long is this going to take? "Cao Yaoli saw that there were many middle-aged people in the queue and complained about the arrangement of the program team.
However, as if they had heard their words, when they went to the lounge to wait for their arrangements, they heard that the program team had sent more people to arrange the teams according to age groups.
At five o 'clock, a staff member informed them to go to the canteen of Jiangnan TV Station for dinner with their meal vouchers. This was considered a small benefit for free "labor." Cao Yaoli and He Yimin laughed and complained about the way the program team did things.
Of course, they didn't care. After all, the two girls signed up to be public judges because they wanted to listen to the singers sing live. They could listen to songs for free and get close to the stars. What was the point of asking for so much?
However, dinner was indeed an unexpected surprise!
This was because although Jiangnan TV Station's cafeteria was hired by the program team to make individual meals for the judges, China Star Production and Jiangnan TV Station were very generous. They made it into a semi-buffet, with sumptuous dishes for the judges to choose from, and the taste was not bad!
"It's delicious! It's a hundred times better than our school's canteen! "He Yimin said excitedly to Cao Yaoli as she ate.
"Yeah, this is the first time I know that this kind of mechanical canteen is not worse than the small restaurants outside! This is so enjoyable! "Cao Yaoli said enviously." I want to work at Jiangnan TV Station after graduation! "
"You don't want to stay in school? Didn't you say you wanted to continue studying? "He Yimin asked in surprise.
"No, I'm just saying." Cao Yaoli smiled and said, "How can I be tempted by such delicious food? When I come to Jiangnan TV Station, how can I be raised like a little pig? "
The two of them chatted and laughed as they ate.
However, after a while, an intellectual woman who looked to be about forty years old and wearing rimless glasses also sat beside them with a plate.
He Yimin glanced at him. He looked like a successful person, but he actually came to participate in the public evaluation. She couldn't help but find an opportunity to chat with him.
What surprised He Yimin and Cao Yaoli was that this middle-aged woman was actually an overseas Chinese from Maple Leaf — she had emigrated overseas!
"Sister Kang, are you back for a vacation? No, you came back specially to participate in this program? "He Yimin asked in surprise.
The middle-aged woman surnamed Kang smiled and said, "Yes, when I was abroad, I often watched domestic programs. I heard that Qin Yu also came out to sing this time, so I specially applied for the public evaluation. I didn't expect to pass the screening, so I hurried back to listen to him sing."
Qin Yu was a very popular domestic singer in the 1990s. At that time, he was also a big idol singer. However, he had been silent for many years. Although he still participated in some programs or held solo concerts, he really didn't have much influence in the music industry.
He Yimin and Cao Yaoli only knew about Qin Yu, but they didn't know much about him.
Therefore, He Yimin asked in surprise, "Sister Kang, was Qin Yu really so popular in the past? You actually came back from Maple Leaf! "
Sister Kang smiled and said, "You are still young and haven't experienced my era. Qin Yu was very popular in our era! Besides, he sings very well. You'll know when you listen carefully later. "
…
The chat with Sister Kang was just a small interlude. After Cao Yaoli and He Yimin finished their meal, they were quickly led into the recording hall by the staff.
The singers who were rehearsing just now also went to eat. Now, the public judges came in early to receive a simple training from the program team.
At the beginning, the stage supervisor told them some things to pay attention to. Perhaps he was not satisfied with the stage supervisor reading the script by the book, so Hong Yumin took the microphone and spoke to them personally.
"First, and most importantly, you have to know when to applaud." Hong Yumin simply blurted out. He talked to them endlessly, "Our program is divided into three parts. The first part is the performance of the singer on the stage. When the singer goes on the stage, our lighting technician will use the backlight, so you can't see who they are. But it doesn't matter. Please remember that since they were invited to this stage by us, they must be the best singer in the Chinese music industry. At this time, please don't be stingy with your applause …"
As expected of a famous director who could handle a big scene, Hong Yumin spoke with assurance. His voice was rhythmic, and it aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. He Yimin and Cao Yaoli couldn't help but respond from time to time, shouting, "Yes!"
During the on-site training, there was a sudden commotion among the judges who were sitting near the entrance. Everyone, including Hong Yumin, turned their heads to look in that direction.
They saw Yang Yi, who was wearing casual clothes, standing there with a little boy in his arms. Next to him stood a little girl holding his hand.
The little boy was in Yang Yi's arms, so they couldn't see him clearly.
On the other hand, the little girl was surprised to see so many people there. Previously, when she came to play with her father, it was empty. She was blinking her beautiful big eyes and looking at the audience in amazement. Cao Yaoli and He Yimin could see her clearly.
"Wow, it's Xi Xi!" He Yimin couldn't help but excitedly tug on Cao Yaoli's sleeve and whisper, "Yang Yi and Murphy's eldest daughter, I can finally see her in person. I went to their coffee shop a few times before, but I didn't see her. I really like Xi Xi. She's so obedient and sensible!"
Cao Yaoli was slightly calmer. She only whispered to He Yimin, "What are they doing here? Didn't they go to eat? "
In fact, Yang Yi had just arrived. He brought Xiaowu to pick up Xixi, who had just finished school. He hadn't called Mo Fei yet because he thought that Mo Fei was still rehearsing, so he came directly to the scene to find her. He didn't expect that the rehearsal would end so early, and his arrival was accidentally recognized by the audience next to him, which directly interfered with Hong Yumin's "training class".
Hong Yumin didn't mind. He even smiled and pulled Yang Yi over and said, "Since you're here, say a few words to the audience! You're the creator of the show! "
Yang Yi couldn't refuse such kindness, so he asked the staff he was familiar with to take care of Xi Xi and Tong Tong. Then, he walked up to the stage with the microphone.
"Actually, I don't have much to say. Director Hong has already said what needs to be said. I just eavesdropped a few times, and Director Hong said it quite well." Yang Yi's words caused the audience to chuckle softly.
"But since I'm here, I want to emphasize that this show is absolutely authentic. The process of voting, counting, and announcing will all be monitored by the comrades from Jiangcheng's Notary Office. Moreover, we are also pursuing the ultimate enjoyment of music. Therefore, I hope that everyone will remember our live rules. However, don't mind it too much. As long as it doesn't affect others or the singers, just treat it as if you're listening to a song in a concert hall. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you feel that it's exciting, you can clap. If you feel that it's not exciting, you don't have to clap against your will! In short, enjoy the music! "Yang Yi said with a smile.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, Yang Yi hastily wrapped up. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stop here. The two kids are still young, so I have to go and take care of them. Otherwise, our staff won't be able to handle it!"
In the audience, Cao Yaoli and He Yimin couldn't help but laugh along with everyone else.
After being so close to Yang Yi, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Yang Yi was also such a down-to-earth celebrity.
"He's a billionaire and a celebrity!" He Yimin looked at Yang Yi's back as he left with the kids. She sighed in Cao Yaoli's ear. "Now, he looks like an ordinary friend. He's so friendly! I'm really envious of Murphy for being able to find such a good man … "
