Chapter 27 1 Extra Game
Chapter 27 Extra Game
Walk down the other side of the stage.
The girl in charge of guiding the contestants had short hair and wore a black skirt. It was obvious that she was not used to wearing high heels and her walking posture was a bit awkward.
She is in charge of reception today, and her appearance and figure are impeccable.
As early as when Fan Wumian was waiting to go on stage, the girl from Kowloon Guangming Academy had noticed him and took the opportunity to introduce herself, whispering:
"I'm Ran Ruoyu. I really like the song you just sang. Which school do you study in?"
"Trinity College of the Anglican Church, my name is Fan Wumian."
"Sleepless. Does that mean you don't need to sleep? It sounds very artistic."
Ran Ruoyu smiled and asked him to sit down and rest first, then said:
"There are still many contestants who haven't come on stage yet. You may have to wait a little longer. It should be no problem for you to get the award. I will be in charge of presenting the awards later."
With his heart swelling and enjoying the sense of accomplishment when the audience cheered for him, Fan Wumian replied: "It's hard to be sleepless alone, but if you are with someone you like, it's okay to stay up all night."
Ran Ruoyu blinked her eyes, suspecting that this handsome guy was teasing her, and said in a low voice with a smile:
"You are such a bad boy. As expected, all handsome guys are unreliable. There must be a lot of people in your school who like you. I have a friend who I have been friends with since childhood and she also studies at Trinity College. I can introduce her to you later."
At first glance, there's nothing wrong with this.
However, Fan Wumian keenly discovered something wrong. Since he thought he was a bad guy, why did he introduce him to his friends? Wasn't he pushing his friends into trouble?
The term "plastic sisterhood" pops into my head.
Fan Wumian smiled and said, "There's no need for matchmaking. I want to reject women and revitalize China."
"???"
Ran Ruoyu pressed, "Are you sure? My friend is so pretty."
Done.
She looked in a certain direction and raised her chin slightly.
Fan Wumian followed Ran Ruoyu's gaze and couldn't help but twitching his eyes. He saw Zuo Ziyan chatting with her best friend.
He said decisively:
"So it's the school beauty Zuo. The matchmaker's red rope isn't strong enough. I'm afraid we need to use a steel cable. The farther you chase, the harder you cry. If there's no woman in your heart, you'll be a god when you draw your sword."
I don't know how serious it is.
Another contestant came on stage. Ran Ruoyu didn't say anything more. She waved her hand and went back to the stage.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In a blink of an eye, more than an hour passed and most of the selected contestants had finished their audition. No other student gave Chen Yisen and Lam Tsai-cheung a surprise like Fan Wumian did.
After all the auditions were over, Yau Wen-shan from King Records couldn't wait to say to Eason Chan and Lam Tsai-cheung, who she had invited to perform:
"Now it's giving me a headache. Mr. Mai's singing of 'Dare to Love' was quite good, but that original song wasn't bad either. I think from the perspective of voice and singing skills alone, the two are evenly matched."
With Eason Chen's status, there was no need to worry too much, and he immediately stated his attitude:
"I would recommend 'Evening Breeze Blowing in My Heart'. A cover is a cover after all. It's amazing that students can write such a good song by themselves."
Lin Tsai-hsiang continued:
"Yes."
"There are so many people here today, and there are journalists interviewing and recording. Although I am grateful to Mr. Mai for inviting us to be judges, if the news gets out, I will be scolded for going against my conscience. It will be too unworthy and will ruin my reputation."
"The quality of the song 'Evening Wind Blows in My Heart' is obvious to all. We are not deaf and blind. It's just that he was unlucky. It's not so easy to promote the little guy named Mai to the top."
Having been in the industry for so long, Qiu Wenshan certainly understands their concerns. She said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, but I really can't afford to offend Boss Mai. Why don't we find another way to solve this problem? You just need to do me a favor."
Worried that his reputation would be ruined and his behind-the-scenes manipulation would be too obvious and would be disgraced if it got out, Lam Tsz-cheung cautiously asked, “What are you going to do?”
Yau explains:
"The influence of Cantonese songs is starting to decline. Even Yisen relied on Mandarin songs to carve out a niche and achieve his current success."
"I think since we are evenly matched, how about we add another Mandarin song competition?"
"This way, when the time comes to give the overall score, it won't embarrass you or Boss Mai."
Hear these words.
Even a fool can guess that Mai Shuli must have a talent for singing Mandarin songs.
For most young people in Hong Kong, listening to Mandarin songs is not a big problem, but speaking Mandarin themselves is a bit troublesome, not to mention singing well.
Eason Chan despised this practice, but the adult world is not only about taking revenge, social skills are also very important. He only asked: "The young master of the Mai family, is his Mandarin level very good?"
"Well, his mother is from Singapore, and Mr. Mai lived there for a few years when he was a child."
Yau Wen-shan did not hide anything. She felt that the two would definitely not choose to go against Boss Mai, who was rich and powerful in Hong Kong City, just to help a strange high school student.
that's the truth.
Even though Eason Chan and Lam Tsz-cheung looked as if they had eaten a fly, they still gritted their teeth and accepted it.
soon.
When it came time to announce the results, Yau Wen-shan from King Records said into the microphone:
"Sorry, we have a difficult problem. When selecting the champion of the entire competition, the scores of contestants No. 188 and No. 66 are actually tied."
"We admit that the song 'Evening Breeze Blowing in My Heart' is very good, but after all, it lacks the background music, and the stage effect is a little weak. However, contestant No. 188 Mai Shuli's singing skills are very good, and the singer is very emotional."
"So, after discussion among the three of us judges, we decided to temporarily add another round. In consideration of the sales of future albums, the topic this time is set to be a Mandarin song."
Qiu Wenshan is very good at speaking. She used a rather embarrassed tone to fool most of the student audience members at the scene.
She has high emotional intelligence.
We knew that if we forced Mai Shuli to be crowned the champion, there would definitely be many people at the scene who would be dissatisfied, and it would easily leave room for criticism afterwards, and people would often dig up old issues and find fault with him.
Therefore, it is reasonable and impeccable to use the method of temporarily adding an extra match to let Mai Dashao defeat Fan Wumian in public.
The cheers at the scene overwhelmed the voices of doubt.
Qiu Wenshan's lips curled up, thinking that although there were some unexpected complications, it was finally a perfect ending.
Fan Wumian had long heard that the competition sponsored by the Mai family would eventually allow Mai Shuli to be the champion.
I never thought about winning the championship. My goal from the beginning was the 25000 yuan prize for second place. Now I am a little overjoyed.
Extra round: singing Mandarin songs
He even began to suspect that Qiu Wenshan was a mole planted by his own family.
Otherwise, if you have no relationship with me and I didn't contribute any money, why would you work so hard to help me become the champion for no reason?
The whole thing is not complicated.
After a little thought, Fan Wumian guessed that it was because he was too prominent that some people were playing both sides and came up with such a way to cut off the source of the problem in order to continue to support Mai Shuli to win the championship.
After all, the previous Fan Wumian could barely speak a few words of Mandarin.
But the problem is that it happened exactly as he wanted.
In the field of Mandarin songs, he feels that he is simply terrifyingly strong.
