Chapter 47 A Gift from Heaven!
Chapter 47 A Gift from Heaven!
Back at the hotel, Jiang Bai threw himself onto the soft, large bed.
This day was more tiring than running a marathon.
He signed a contract, visited the Forbidden City, and even managed to get a preliminary audition pass, earning money and a beginner dance reward.
So fulfilling, so incredibly fulfilling!
Jiang Bai was in a good mood, took out his phone, and habitually opened Weibo.
really.
Several trending topics have already appeared on the hot search list.
#YangMi Joins Beauty's Rival in Palace#
#Yu Zheng's New Drama Costume Photos#
#Beauty's Rival in Palace: All the Beauties Are Stunning#
It must be said that although Yu Zheng is controversial in the industry, his marketing methods are absolutely textbook-level.
In this era where "even the best wine needs advertising," the pre-broadcast buzz surrounding a drama series is crucial to its success.
Jiang Bai clicked on the hashtag #Yu Zhengxin's new drama costume photos#.
The pinned Weibo post was made by Yu Zheng.
They did not release high-resolution images of everyone directly.
It is a nine-square grid.
The first few pictures are of the backs or close-ups of the main actors, including Lin Xinru and Yang Mi, creating a strong sense of atmosphere.
The middle few photos are behind-the-scenes shots from the filming, blurry yet evocative.
The accompanying text was even more flamboyant:
A beautiful woman's appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million.
"We'll give you a sneak peek today. Tomorrow morning at 10 AM, we'll release high-definition official photos of the entire cast. See you there!"
The comment section below has exploded.
The fans were screaming.
"Ahhh! Is that Yang Mi's back view? The assassin Mo Xueyuan?"
"Lin Xinru's look is absolutely stunning! It's like stepping back into the Han Dynasty!"
"Aunt Yu, you really know how to keep us in suspense! Hurry up and show us the front view!"
Jiang Bai scrolled through the comments with great interest, like a bystander watching a melon.
Sudden.
A highly upvoted comment caught his attention.
The ID is called "King of Exposing Secrets in the Industry".
"I heard that the actress playing Empress Zhang Yan is a complete newcomer? Or did she get the role through connections and connections? Director Yu, are you serious about entrusting such an important role to a newcomer?"
This comment was followed by many questioning replies.
After all, Zhang Yan is the white moonlight in the hearts of many fans of the original work.
however.
Yu Zheng actually replied to this comment himself.
Just a simple sentence:
"He is the only Zhang Yan in my heart. When the costume photos come out, you will all beg him to play the role."
Domineering.
Protective parent.
The netizens below immediately shifted their opinions, and everyone began to wonder who this newcomer was who could garner such strong support from Yu Zheng.
"Holy crap? The only Zhang Yan? Such high praise?"
"My expectations are through the roof!"
"I hope this proves me wrong, but it's not a face that's been surgically altered."
Jiang Bai looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Old Yu, you're putting me on the hot seat."
"but……"
"I love so much."
The higher the popularity, the higher the number of people who view the content.
Jiang Bai is determined to capitalize on this wave of traffic!
Just then.
A series of WeChat messages suddenly popped up at the top of my phone.
Group chat name: [404 Mental Hospital (4)].
Su Ze: "@Jiang Bai Lao San! You damned bastard!"
Su Ze: "I just heard from the class monitor that you took three days off? Three days?!"
Gu Dapeng: "Holy crap? Really? We're stuck here drying like sardines while you're off having fun?"
Lin Le: "According to the law of conservation of energy, the laziness you indulge in will eventually become our tears."
Jiang Bai looked at the message and burst out laughing.
He could picture the three guys in the dorm right now, their faces contorted with jealousy.
Fingers flew as they typed a reply:
Jiang Bai: "Brothers, I also want to join you in military training."
Jiang Bai: "Unfortunately, my body is not cooperating. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I have a severe allergy and cannot be exposed to the sun."
Su Ze: "Get lost!"
Gu Dapeng: "Get lost!"
Lin Le: "I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Su Ze: "You wait! I'll wait until you get back! You have to treat me to a meal!!"
Jiang Bai: "No problem, no problem, as long as you can still walk to the cafeteria."
Amidst a flurry of meme-based banter.
Jiang Bai put down his phone with satisfaction.
Turn off the lights.
go to bed.
The night view of Kyoto outside the window is fading.
In Jiang Bai's dream, money was floating everywhere.
..........
Kyoto, Chaoyang District Cultural Center Small Theater.
This is the venue for the regional competition of "The Voice of China" in Kyoto.
Compared to the noisy mall atrium yesterday, this place is obviously much more orderly.
Professional stage lighting, top-notch sound equipment, and a row of serious-looking professional judges sitting in the audience.
Even the air was filled with the competitive spirit of "life and death are nothing to fear, if you're not convinced, then fight."
Backstage waiting area.
Jiang Bai wore a clean white dress, a "Golden Legend" wig on her head, and a "Pure Desire Pearl Hairpin" by her ear.
He sat quietly in the corner.
He held a thermos in his hand, looking completely nonchalant.
The contestants around him were all so nervous, as if they were about to be executed.
Some were practicing their voices frantically, some were touching up their makeup with trembling hands, and some were muttering incantations to the wall.
Only Jiang Bai.
He looked like a retired cadre who had come to inspect the work.
"Seventy-eight people..."
"The first round will select ten, with an elimination rate of nearly 90%."
Jiang Bai glanced around the room, making plans in his mind.
"This is much more difficult than yesterday's preliminary selection at the farmers' market."
He took out his phone and glanced at his bank card balance.
+100,000.00 yuan.
The 100,000 yuan bonus issued by the system last night was real money.
With this 100,000, his cash savings will now be 1.1 million!
That's enough.
One should not be too greedy.
"It would be best if we could advance today, so that we could get the novel rights to 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'."
"What if I get rejected..."
"Then take this 100,000 yuan and go out for food, drinks, and entertainment; it wouldn't be a bad deal!"
With a more stable mindset, Jiang Bai exuded a more composed demeanor.
Among that group of anxious contestants, he was as beautiful as a still oil painting.
……
in front of the stage.
Five judges sat on the judging panel.
In addition to the three judges from yesterday's audition, there were also several well-known music critics and music producers in the industry.
at this time.
The bald judge was pointing at a document in his hand, enthusiastically recommending it to the person next to him:
"Old Zhang, Old Li, you'd better keep your eyes wide open later!"
"This number 108 who's about to take the field is absolutely a gem!"
"Yesterday's audition was a cappella! There wasn't even any accompaniment!"
"The moment she opened her mouth, she almost gave me a diabetes attack!"
The long-haired music critic, Lao Zhang, pushed up his glasses, looking incredulous.
"Old Guang, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
"These days, talent shows are all about technology and ruthless skills; they're not as mysterious as you make them out to be."
"Besides, I've also heard that previous seasons of The Voice of China were all filled with people with connections, and I'm afraid this season will be the same."
"Aren't we just sitting here going through the motions?"
The bald judge gave a mysterious smile:
"A person with connections?"
"When faced with absolute talent, connections are a joke!"
"Just wait and see, the moment she opens her mouth, you'll know what it means to be 'blessed by God'!"
As they were talking.
The stage lights suddenly dimmed.
The host walked onto the stage:
"Next up, contestant number 108, Jiang Bai."
"Entry song: Original song 'Love You'".
The words fell.
Jiang Bai lifted her skirt and walked lightly to the center of the stage.
The lights are focused.
A critical hit with 10 points of maximum charm descends instantly.
"hiss--"
Old Zhang, the long-haired judge who had just been looking disdainful, gasped in surprise.
That face...
They really can fight!
They don't even need to sing; just standing there is enough to debut as the center of a girl group!
Jiang Bai stood in front of the standing microphone.
He nodded to the sound engineer.
"Teacher, could you please provide some accompaniment?"
This time.
It's no longer a dry, a cappella performance.
The system produces top-notch accompaniment tracks with a studio-quality feel.
The light, dynamic synthesizer sound effects, full of millennial retro flavor, instantly resonated throughout the small theater.
The moment the prelude begins, gold and silver will flow in!
The overwhelming youthful energy made the judges' legs tremble involuntarily.
Jiang Bai took a deep breath.
[Beginner to Advanced Dance], loading!
[Heavenly Voice], full power!
If yesterday's audition was just him repeating the muscle memory instilled by the system, then...
Today, having achieved the "Beginner Dance Mastery" level, he is truly the embodiment of the "Sweetheart Queen"!
Every joint movement, every turn, even the angle at which the skirt flutters, is so precise it's as if it were calculated by a computer.
Silky smooth.
Extremely silky smooth!
"Ho Baby, say more sweet nothings~"
"If you miss me, take another look~"
I was so impressed I almost fell over!
With the accompanying music, the sweetness is doubled!
If yesterday's a cappella performance was like orange soda...
So today's full version is mango pomelo sago with all sugar and no ice!
Jiang Bai sang while dancing to the rhythm.
Lightly tap the left foot, follow with the right, gently twist your waist, and make a heart shape with your hands.
Her movements were as light as a butterfly flitting among flowers.
The girl group dance that might have seemed a bit childish at first, under his 10-point charm boost, actually exuded a sophisticated sweetness.
Full of energy and vitality!
