Chapter 140: Royal Hegemony vs. Matchmaker

~22 min read 4,286 words

Qi Guanmingzhu returned to the dressing room.

Jin Li's makeup was also finished, and she was speaking into the camera lens, interacting with netizens.

Qi Guanmingzhu walked over, her face appearing in the frame.

【Ah, I'm dead... Both of them have space buns, what kind of top-tier welfare is this!】

【The makeup looks so cute, but they're both wearing black-toned clothes. Are they going for a dark doll style?】

【They're both wearing qipaos, but the vibes they give off are completely different!】

They were both wearing qipaos, and even the garments were basically the same, with only some details handled differently.

Yet, Qi Guanmingzhu gave off a cold and glamorous aesthetic.

While Jin Li gave off a pure and innocent aesthetic.

However, in terms of the eerie style created, Jin Li still had the upper hand.

She deliberately performed for the fans, opening her big eyes wide, but without saying a word, she stared quietly at the screen.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... She maintained the wide-eyed expression for a full ten seconds, scaring many fans.

【It's like one of those horror dolls with an innocent smile on its face, hands covered in blood, tilting its head to smile at you while innocently asking: Big sister, do you like it?】

【Sweet girl + evil + bloodthirsty + revenge, what kind of super-excellent horror script is this? Hurry up and film it, I want to watch!】

A wave of heated discussion broke out in the Pink Girls' live stream, and the March Days' live stream was no less intense.

If Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu made people know at a glance that they were performing a modern stage.

Then March Days clearly gave off the feeling of a period stage.

Everyone's attire was Hanfu, each with different details, and they all had armor plates attached to the upper garment.

Compared to Pink Girls, their armor plates came in more colors: gold, silver, crimson, and bronze.

【Just a little bit more and they could collect all the colors of the rainbow (snicker)】

【The stage similarity isn't high, I'm a bit expectant. So, can we see it on the online live stream?】

【Do you think it's possible to see it? Would the production team be that conscientious?】

【For the sake of the variety show, they definitely have to leave some suspense to be broadcast in the show~】

Just when netizens thought the production team wouldn't live stream in the evening, not long after, the production team cut off all live streams and simultaneously issued an announcement:

【The evening stage will be live-streamed simultaneously!】

Once this announcement came out, netizens were boiling over, immediately notifying friends via mobile or spreading the news in major group chats.

A simultaneous live stage!

On the blog, because of this announcement from "Leisurely Slow Life," it immediately exploded onto the trending list.

#LeisurelySlowLifeSimultaneousLiveMusicStage#

Recently, "I Am a Singer" restarted recording after three years, putting out the banner of "the first full-process live music variety show."

It was trending several times a day, calling for fans to return.

Major media marketing accounts exerted their efforts, editing various videos like "Inventory of Singers Who Became Famous in One Battle Thanks to 'I Am a Singer'," flooding the entire internet.

This also led to the popularity of topics related to "live streaming" exploding off the charts.

Many variety shows had been shouting live streaming slogans these past few days, desperately trying to ride the wave of popularity, and "Leisurely Slow Life," as the first variety show to be live-streamed throughout, could ride it even more.

【I Am a Singer:? Everyone is coming over to touch porcelain, right!】

【"Leisurely Slow Life": Old brother, I advise you to be careful with your words. Who exactly is the first variety show to be live-streamed? It's clearly me!】

【Since it's a live stream, will Pink Girls and March Days both be singing live?】

【I wasn't interested in idol stages, but as soon as I heard it was full live singing, I rushed in immediately!】

【Come on, let's have a life-and-death battle with those haters who suspect lip-syncing every day!】

After "Leisurely Slow Life" announced the simultaneous live stage.

It not only shared the hype but also comprehensively drove the teams relying on this variety show to make money.

The first to react were the advertisers.

Those advertisers who chose to play ads tonight immediately gathered their teams, vowing to discuss an astonishing (most annoying) ad slogan and playback screen.

At the same time, they urgently contacted Tianding Entertainment to see if they could specify the order of ad appearances.

"The indifference of tea lies in enjoying life, tasting life, and enjoying the true flavor of tea while sipping and drinking together. How does this sound?"

"A bit too bland!"

"Drink tea, choose Master Rong's Green Tea!"

"Too straightforward!"

"Master Rong calls you to drink tea, taste the refreshing feeling of Maojian!"

"No class!"

Suddenly, a staff member urgently pushed open the door, interrupting the meeting: "President, Tianding Entertainment says the square insertion time can be discussed.

But if you need to take a sip of Master Rong's Green Tea before the results are announced, Tianding Entertainment says you have to! Pay! More!"

Master Rong has been professionally making tea for thirty years; what kind of scenes haven't they seen?

Isn't it just paying more?

The president waved his hand, "Add it!"

He changed his tone, "But you have to get the price down for me; the premium cannot exceed three million!"

Secondly, the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly the live streaming platform.

Cat Claw and Wang Wang didn't advertise at all, completely lying down and making money!

The download volume of the two major platforms both ushered in a peak.

And the value of this portion of new users was very high.

Netizens who like to watch fun online basically downloaded one of the live streaming platforms.

But those netizens who like to watch long videos on video websites, Cat Claw and Wang Wang had never been able to conquer.

But now, because of the gimmick of "full live singing," plus the variety show version watched at that time was clearly a post-tuned version.

So these long-video users downloaded the short-video platform for the first time, just to watch a live performance!

Cat Claw and Wang Wang both tried their best to keep this portion of users.

Cat Claw, with a strong business sense, received the news of the live stage on the front foot, and on the back foot, Zhong Wenkun went to the operations department to discuss the welfare issues for new users.

As for Wang Wang, they didn't intend to use welfare to keep newcomers, but decided to adjust the video push rules for new users.

Push them more film and television clips, let new users see how inclusive short videos are!

An hour passed.

Two hours passed...

Two and a half hours passed...

Netizens were waiting anxiously, and suddenly at this moment, they received a push notification.

【The "Leisurely Slow Life" you follow has started broadcasting!】

At this moment, the swarming traffic immediately poured into the live stream.

【First, first, I am first!】

【Has the stage started yet?】

【Why is it pitch black? Don't you give the audience any preparation time?】

The black screen lasted for a minute, and suddenly, a bright light flashed across, illuminating everyone's screen.

The first stage was the March Days stage!

A beam of light hit Chen Lin, who opened with a handsome aerial flip, making the audience's senses stimulated and surprised.

The audience nodded one after another, asking each other: "Which crew is this young actor from? His basic skills are very good!"

After landing steadily from the aerial jump, Chen Lin showed another dance solo.

With martial arts foundation plus years of dance foundation, he combined the rigidity of kung fu with the softness of dance, making people feel rigidity within softness, quite having the style of martial arts.

When he showed his dance, the music drumbeat also sounded simultaneously, a melodious flute sound, the zither clanging, the erhu pulled... bringing up a burst of desolate killing intent.

【Three Kingdoms Breaking Formation Song, Three Kingdoms Breaking Formation Song, Three Kingdoms Breaking Formation Song】

【Three Kingdoms Breaking Formation Song is the best! It's actually adapting their own song!】

【Opera adaptation version? My go, if this song adds opera singing, it's definitely a killer!】

Chen Lin's dance climax ended, the song's prelude also officially ended, and the lights went out instantly.

A beam of light fell in the center, Yan Xingdong appeared in front of everyone, holding a folding fan in his hand.

He opened the fan with a swish, and four characters were written on the fan face—

Royal, Power, Hegemony, Industry.

Yan Xingdong started singing: "Ten thousand helmets in youth, sitting and breaking the southeast battle without rest.

Who is the rival of the heroes in the world? Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!"

Another beam of light hit the side, lighting up a light in the darkness, Luo Yi stood on the high platform, appearing in front of the audience.

At the same time, the wind blew!

He was dressed in white with gold armor, waving his sleeves, making a hunting sound in the vast loneliness.

He raised his glass and sang: "Facing wine and singing, how much is life?

Like the morning dew, the past days are bitter and many!"

Another beam of light fell on the side, forming a tripod stance with the other two beams of light.

Gu Cheng appeared in front of everyone, holding male and female double swords, playing a sword flower, finally combining the two swords into one, stabbing forward forcefully with sharp eyes.

He started singing: "The spirit of heroes in the world, the ages are still solemn.

The situation is divided into three legs, the industry returns to five-zhu coins!"

All the lights came on, the four people formed a formation, singing together.

The rushing music wave swept through all the audience, its momentum was full, the music clanged, as if bringing people into the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty—

Watching heroes play tricks and be treacherous, sighing at the dim-witted monarch who doesn't recognize loyal ministers, watching the soul-stirring Three Kingdoms!

"Gold spears and iron horses fighting on the battlefield, heroes should sing and reach the clouds!

Three-point hegemony and royal power ambition, ambition unfulfilled, swear not to rest!

You come and I go, deceiving the monarch and cheating, who can be better!"

The formation changed again, coming to the chorus climax part, Yan Xingdong stood in front of the C position, and the other three teammates stood behind him.

At the same time, drama actors appeared, performing a fighting scene.

And March Days and others performed a simplified version of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, Yan Xingdong stood at the very front, singing domineeringly with opera singing:

"I wish the world's hegemony would return, the country will no longer suffer from displacement~

Gold spears and iron horses, swallowing ten thousand miles, ambition like a rainbow!

Beacon fires flying for three months, how much bitterness is unwilling to be told~

May the world return to the heart, no longer bound!"

Netizens were watching the March Days stage, and the barrage was flying.

Others who wanted to watch the complete stage had to quickly turn on the screen protection.

【Live singing, full live singing, just ask, how is this pitch and breath?】

【Very stable, very stable, didn't sing a wrong word, didn't fast-forward a beat, the vocal cavity has always been maintained, won't suddenly go down, it's a good level among professional boy groups!】

【I've seen many idol group stages, you don't know how bad the singing is, only the dancing is watchable】

Soon, March Days' performance ended.

The lights suddenly dimmed.

When it became bright again, Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu were already sitting on two wooden chairs.

The two people's heads were slightly lowered, the corners of their mouths were turned down, their faces were expressionless, and there was even a hint of sadness in their eyes.

And the set around them was the boudoir of a very ancient woman.

The song they were going to cover was the popular internet song "Three Bows to the Red Dust Cool."

This song comes with opera singing, and the lyrics are popular.

As long as the emotions are grasped well, it can sing out the sadness of women in ancient times under "parents' orders and matchmaker's words."

This song satirizes the ancient social phenomenon of "blind marriage and dumb marriage," and also expresses the scene of women being unable to help themselves after marriage, no longer being themselves but someone's wife, living for others.

Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu discussed before, should they use ancient clothing to show it, or use modern ways to show it?

Looking at the song background, it's definitely better to use ancient times.

But considering this is a stage PK, as former girl group members, it's best to exert the girl group singing and dancing skills, using more extreme visual effects to show this song.

So the two finally decided to use modern ways to show it.

But this doesn't mean that changing to ancient style will lose its advantage.

On the contrary, the advantage is even greater, but wanting to make a boutique stage is very difficult, requiring repeated deliberation and polishing, which is far from being completed in one day.

And what they lacked most was time.

On the stage.

Jin Li held a fan, covering half of her face, revealing only half of her side face.

"Listen to the gongs and drums, who is accompanied by tears~

Absurd marriage, in the world

Never met, but can hold the red thread~"

The opening was sung by Jin Li, deliberately using the little skills Xi Sister Meng Ze taught her in the afternoon.

She deliberately retracted her abdomen to sing, for fear that the tail sound would collapse while humming.

【Eh, Jin Li's voice actually stabilized, it has a bit of Meng Meng's flavor!】

【This opening is okay! Among Pink Girls, Qi Guanmingzhu is the dance lead, and Xi Sister Meng Ze is the singing lead.

Other teammates have their own characteristics, only Jin Li is the cute pet lead. I thought it would be Pearl opening, didn't expect Jin Li to take the lead】

【Ask: Why is Jin Li the cute pet lead?】

【Because Jin Li is a half-time queen, the earlier she is fierce, the later she will be physically exhausted and wither, the movements are not accurate, can only change to the back row to paddle】

While netizens were discussing, it also came to Pearl's opening.

She also used a fan to cover half of her face, forming a symmetry with Jin Li on the left and right.

Qi Guanmingzhu: "Secular makes people crazy, every sentence is prejudice~

This marriage defines nobility and lowliness

Sighing at the boundless love and hate, let the joy character become clouds and smoke~"

Qi Guanmingzhu's tail sound pressing voice is also superb, showing extraordinary skills in the bass area, it is hard not to suspect whether the two are cheating.

Netizens commented one after another: 【Meng Meng possessed!】

Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu stood up together, graceful and graceful, every move gave people a visual enjoyment of beauty.

They completely followed the rule of left-right symmetry, doing movements on the left and right.

In the middle of the two, it seemed as if there was an invisible mirror.

The people in the mirror were not them, but they looked like them.

It was thousands of sad mirror people.

Netizens suddenly knew why they chose to wear qipaos.

Flowers are beautiful, but blooming in dark and narrow places, they will become a desolate rose.

Roses are beautiful, but the more beautiful, the more unable to help themselves.

Clearly they were dancing, but their expressions were very sad, everyone felt they were bound, with invisible chains pressing on them.

Jin Li's opera singing came in: "She sat in the red tent, wearing heavy makeup, the suona sang~

Bright moonlight, this woman tears eyes worship the high hall~"

Qi Guanmingzhu continued: "Worship heaven and earth sun and moon first, worship and forget second

This life, kneeling three bows to the red dust cool~"

Jin Li: "Courtyard, gate locked, messy eyes

So noisy, this woman's smile is a bit melancholy~"

Qi Guanmingzhu: "The rest of life's joy and sorrow has nothing to do with it, her eyes have no light~"

When they were humming, drama actors also entered the scene one after another, performing many people surrounding a woman, combing her hair and dressing her up.

This woman pushed back and forth, couldn't push, full of sadness and desolation.

Finally, she could only be forced to sit on the chair even if pressed by others, forced to draw, and put on a red hijab.

And Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu repeated a chorus again, the happy suona entered the scene, taking away the drama actors behind them, and being pressed to worship the high hall.

And Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu slightly lowered their heads, also being welcomed by others, expressionlessly putting on red hijabs.

This stage ended here.

【Inevitably fate...】

【The drama background behind, the woman still resisted, but in the end, she was powerless.

And Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu are already completely numb, completely not resisting, sigh.】

【So difficult, fortunately I live in modern times, I never think ancient times are good, human life is like a cheap animal!】

Two stage performances ended.

As the organizer, the theater didn't send a host to mobilize the atmosphere, only staff were shouting: "You can leave, the impromptu performance is over, you can vote for the team you like!"

The theater thoughtfully pasted large numbers on the ballot box, a big 1 and a big 2.

At the same time, everyone who performed didn't leave, but stood behind the ballot box.

Standing behind ballot box No. 1 were all members of March Days, and standing behind ballot box No. 2 were Jin Li and others.

Doing this was also a second means to prevent wrong voting.

The live stream hadn't been closed yet.

But netizens always felt that the production team wouldn't kindly broadcast to the end, this is vigilance against capitalists.

As more and more people left, ten minutes later, the voting ended, and the ballot box was taken for statistics.

Jin Li and everyone else also came to the backstage of the theater, very naturally picking up the Master Rong's Green Tea placed on the table, unscrewing the lid and taking a sip.

【This sky-high advertising fee!】

【Master Rong is willing to spend money!】

【Drink tea, choose Master Rong!】

The person in charge of the theater walked over and talked to them.

"How do you feel about performing on stage in the theater this time?"

Jin Li thought for a while and said: "I feel the audience watched very seriously, very quietly, applauding when they heard happiness, which is the best praise for us."

Gu Cheng agreed: "Yes, they are very good audiences, when performing on stage, the music is very enthusiastic, but the audience didn't have to compete with the music."

【These two people are saying that when performing live, fans shout very excitedly, which will cause stars to be distracted (eating melon)】

Yan Xingdong: "I feel very relaxed, this stage makes me feel comfortable."

Luo Yi grinned: "The audience is very cute, many audiences who came to vote will praise my basic skills!"

Qi Guanmingzhu couldn't help but look at Luo Yi, so his standard of cute is like this?

Then what happened when he praised her as cute before?

She seemed to have never praised him.

Qi Guanmingzhu came back to her senses and said: "I am a bit excited instead, I have rarely sung on a professional stage, and it is still a stage with strong professionalism like the theater, I worry that my opera singing is not sung well."

The person in charge received instructions in the headset and changed a question.

"The results are about to come out, do you have any guesses about your ranking?"

Everyone answered very consistently: "No!"

Jin Li would look at the ballot box at the beginning, counting votes in her heart, because grandparents voted slowly.

Later, seeing some people holding seven or eight votes and voting down, she didn't count.

According to the voting situation on the spot, they and March Days were half a catty, evenly matched.

The person in charge unscrewed the Master Rong's Green Tea placed on the table, took a sip, and took another sip.

He asked: "Do you want to know your voting results?"

Others were speechless, isn't this nonsense?

【hahaha this is paying tribute to "I Am a Singer," how come even drinking water before announcing results was learned (laughing and crying)】

【Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and announce the results!】

【The taste is wrong, I always feel something is missing, what is it?】

But the next second, they knew the answer.

Since the live stream started, netizens watching the March Days stage, and then to the Pink Girls stage, were seamless, without any ads inserted in the middle.

Yes, no ads were inserted!

But this doesn't mean there were no ads in this short live stream.

Master Rong's Green Tea not only had a mid-insertion in the theater, but also let the stars all take a sip, take another sip when announcing the results, and at the same time—

At this juncture, officially play the ad!

The screen in the netizens' screen changed, becoming a piece of green.

"Master Rong's Green Tea, originating from the cold spring water on the top of the Himalayas, picking top-quality tea from the top of the frozen peak, supplemented by eighteen processing procedures...

Use good tea to enjoy life, taste life, find the true meaning of tea, the philosophy of people, choose Master Rong's Green Tea!"

【Tasting the life of a cow and horse_(: 3"∠)_】

【Already purchased, please let me skip the ad duration (smile)】

【I won't buy it! Go to your *!】

Finally, the screen returned to the theater.

The person in charge took another sip of water before announcing the official answer.

He said: "The final result is—"

Everyone's heart was slightly lifted.

Person in charge: "I think we can leave the suspense to the variety show, what do you think?"

Others:...

The next second, the live stream screen suddenly went black.

Tonight's live stream ends here!

【Ah ah ah, go to your *! Go to your *! Go to your **!】

【I, this noble VIP user, express dissatisfaction!】

【Immediately refund Master Rong's Green Tea (smile)】

【Did anyone count the number of votes when watching the live stream?】

【Yes! You don't have to believe the production team, but you have to believe the power of netizens!

Today, there were 800 audiences in the theater. According to statistics, a total of 679 people participated in the voting, and the rest abstained.

Among them, 356 audiences voted for March Days, and 323 voted for Pink Girls, the gap is very small.

But this doesn't mean this is the final vote, because some people found that some people voted more than one vote, which means that those who didn't vote might have let others vote on their behalf!

So, number of voters ≠ voting result!】

Netizens saw this statistic and couldn't help but tear up. This is equivalent to saying nothing!

However, it can be seen from this that March Days still occupies a slight advantage.

Having more heads is also a kind of victory.

On the other side.

After the stage performance ended, Jin Li returned to the hotel, sent a message to Meng Meng, put down her phone, and took out the Five-Three in her bag.

After resting for a while, she started the live stream again.

Five-Three, start!

At the same time, in Qi Guanmingzhu's room, she was on a video call with Meng Meng.

Meng Meng said excitedly: "I watched your performance, it was great, you used all the skills I taught! Where is Jin Li? Why didn't I see her?"

Qi Guanmingzhu tilted the camera slightly and whispered: "See, the Jin Li you want is here, she is studying seriously!"

Meng Meng: "It's nine o'clock, do you still want to continue studying?"

Qi Guanmingzhu: "Alas, isn't the college entrance examination results being announced recently? Many fans are asking when Jin Li plans to take the college entrance examination, I guess she is also under pressure."

Xi Sister Meng Ze asked curiously: "How far has Jin Li's learning progress come?"

Qi Guanmingzhu: "Learned the knowledge of the second half of the first year of high school. According to her study time, it is already considered fast."

She complained: "But Jin Li kept nagging at me, saying that time is not enough, and her announcements have been too many recently."

Xi Sister Meng Ze:...

She couldn't answer this.

Her announcements were more than Jin Li's, but she also felt that she was fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and the work intensity was very relaxed.

Xi Sister Meng Ze asked them again if they could come to the "I Am a Singer" scene.

Qi Guanmingzhu gave an uncertain answer: "Maybe the time can't match, "Leisurely Slow Life" said that the feedback from this theater episode is good, and they want us to film for a few more days."

Xi Sister Meng Ze heard this, her face collapsed, and she said with great regret: "Okay." ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
