Chapter 604: Singer takes the MVP of the whole show!

Xi Sister Meng Ze took first place in the first ranking competition of "I Am a Singer"!

Her rendition of "Dawn" was unrivaled with high votes, not only winning first place in the hearts of the audience but also becoming the "best of the day" in the subsequent internal voting among singers.

It's hard to say whether the suddenly appearing Seeing Jin Li added any help.

But even with the arrival of Seeing Jin Li, who has been in the spotlight recently, if Xi Sister Meng Ze's interpretation wasn't good, the audience at the scene wouldn't be deaf and wouldn't have voted her first.

So for today's performance, the outside world's evaluation of Xi Sister Meng Ze was—

"Deserved!"

When Xi Sister Meng Ze took first place, netizens who had been watching the live broadcast immediately expressed their feelings online, and the media that smelled the wind also reported this grand occasion for the first time.

"I Am a Singer" never lacks topics for discussion every time it airs. This time with Seeing Jin Li's support, it lacks even less.

【Heavenly time, geographical advantage, and human harmony, Xi Sister Meng Ze takes first place in the first show of "I Am a Singer"!】

The media were mainly sending blessings. Even those who sang the opposite tune only said that Xi Sister Meng Ze rode the buzz of Seeing Jin Li and the movie, but they didn't say her strength was not good.

Everyone knows Director Hong's pickiness toward singers in "I Am a Singer." If the singing skills were really not good, it would be impossible to invite the singer over.

Cough, cough, of course, there are exceptions, such as those singers who are clearly here to be cannon fodder for a one-round tour.

Last year there were such singers, and this year there are also such singers. Even singing their own famous songs, they can sing tremblingly and be extremely nervous, comparable to newcomers.

Netizens don't know whether these singers haven't been on a large stage for a long time, leading to some nervousness, or whether they became nervous because they had to reveal their true strength in a live broadcast without sound repair.

Netizens had different opinions, and the media was the same.

Powerful singers and powerless singers were clearly distinguished in the mirror of live broadcast without sound repair.

After the performance ended that day, Seeing Jin Li left the live broadcast scene with the help of staff and went outside using another underground passage.

After waiting for about half an hour, Xi Sister Meng Ze also came out, her expression excited.

She hadn't removed her makeup yet. There were flashing diamonds around her eyes, and her eyeshadow was also shiny. She looked very beautiful.

Although she thought she could have a one-round tour, as long as she was on stage, she would go all out. This was her principle.

So being able to win first place this time, Xi Sister Meng Ze was very surprised, but also very happy.

No one doesn't want to win first place; this is the affirmation of the audience and other seniors.

As soon as Xi Sister Meng Ze got on the car, Seeing Jin Li congratulated her: "Are you happy to win first place tonight! Our first singer, hopeful to impact the title of Song Queen!"

Xi Sister Meng Ze's eyes were big and bright, nodding desperately: "Very happy, very happy. I didn't expect to win first place, but the moment I opened my mouth, I felt it was stable."

Seeing Jin Li asked with a smile: "I want to interview you, who just won first place, whether you want to stay on this stage and do your best to prepare for the next stage and go all out."

Xi Sister Meng Ze looked at her coquettishly: "I have seriously prepared for every stage. The only thing that can defeat me is my song selection. You can rest assured about this."

"However, if it were up to my personal wishes, I would still hope to be eliminated in the next round. This stage looks glamorous, but in reality, the pressure is huge."

As she spoke, she thought of an old senior in the music industry who had unstable breath and was nervous throughout the performance because of a mistake in singing his famous song while waiting in the backstage.

That scene...

Tsk, thinking about it makes me sad.

Xi Sister Meng Ze said: "Seeing Jin Li, don't participate in variety shows that require professional singing skills in the future. The pressure is quite high. I feel a bit overwhelmed."

"The emotions of singers are often not influenced by their own mood, but by the atmosphere of the scene and the performance of their opponents, fluctuating."

Seeing Jin Li said with a smile: "It seems you encountered many things tonight, leading to a complicated mood."

Xi Sister Meng Ze said with lingering fear: "Yeah, if I wasn't cold enough, I might have been influenced by others and collapsed as soon as I opened my mouth."

The two chatted while heading to a relatively private restaurant nearby to eat.

To tell the truth, the show's director invited other singers to dinner, and other singers had private dinners. Today, one of the big sisters in the music industry invited Xi Sister Meng Ze to dinner and also sent an invitation to Seeing Jin Li through her.

But Xi Sister Meng Ze refused without thinking.

Not only did she refuse herself, but she also directly refused for Seeing Jin Li.

In the car, Xi Sister Meng Ze took the initiative to talk about this matter, saying: "Actually, I was quite surprised to be voted as the best in the hearts of other singers."

"I didn't see everyone in the previous rehearsals. I only greeted two contestants. I'm not familiar with those people, just nodding acquaintances, and some have never met."

Seeing Jin Li guessed: "Maybe it's really because you sang better than them, so they voted you first?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze shook her head: "I took advantage of the movie promotion and you, so I was so popular with the audience."

"From the perspective of singing skills and performance, there are two singers at the scene whose performance is similar to mine, and their seniority is older than mine. I thought those singers would vote among those two."

Seeing Jin Li joked: "Could it be that these two old singers wanted to form a clique, and other singers didn't know how to stand, and didn't want to offend anyone, so they simply voted for you, who has less seniority, and didn't expect it to fulfill you instead?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze didn't understand the truth of being voted first until several months after the show ended. She couldn't help but sigh that Seeing Jin Li is worthy of being Seeing Jin Li; that mouth is too effective.

However, now, Xi Sister Meng Ze didn't know what was going on, and since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't think about it.

"The director invited me to participate in the dinner after the competition, and some seniors also invited me to a private gathering tomorrow, but I refused them all."

"Just finished a performance that consumed heart and spirit, I just want to rest well now. They also called you over, but I refused them all."

Seeing Jin Li nodded and said casually: "Refused well. Unless work requires it, I don't want to participate in any social engagements."

Xi Sister Meng Ze agreed: "Yes, me too. I think we still have to maintain a sense of mystery for some people. Some things are better not known than known, and it won't add trouble."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes flashed, and she looked at her with interest, asking:

"You never expressed this kind of feeling before. Has anything happened recently?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze hesitated and said: "I have a friend."

Seeing Jin Li understood: "What troubles do you have?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze choked and emphasized: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."

She hesitated and said: "A male friend. I recently accidentally discovered that he was reading Danmei manga. I'm a bit worried. Has he encountered any pressure? He never showed any interest in this type before."

Seeing Jin Li pondered: "Are you worried that he was intentionally approached and bent, or are you worried that his sexual orientation has changed due to excessive pressure?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "Well, both."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a moment and said: "If this friend is quite important to you, I suggest you talk to him more recently. Maybe he is really facing some troubles in life."

Xi Sister Meng Ze sighed while holding her forehead: "I just hope he doesn't really have an accident, and his announcements have been quite busy recently, and there are many people around him watching him. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems in this regard."

Seeing Jin Li said: "I have read some books recently. Some people are sunny and cheerful on the surface, but actually hide many things in their hearts. You can't just analyze them by the surface."

Xi Sister Meng Ze sighed again, "I'll chat with him more to see if he is wrong. At necessary moments, I will advise him to see a psychologist."

Seeing Jin Li looked at Xi Sister Meng Ze, wanting to say something but stopping.

From her observation of her brows, no one around her will have an accident in the near future. Maybe it's a false alarm?

But Seeing Jin Li thought, it's better to believe it than not. Early prevention is also good.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said: "If your friend's sexual orientation is really liking men, don't be too obvious. You should respect and understand."

Xi Sister Meng Ze nodded: "Rest assured, I know this."

She paused, her brows knitted together involuntarily, and whispered: "I just didn't expect it. I thought... forget it."

She wrinkled her nose and didn't think about it.

Because of the media reports, after a night of spreading, by the next day, everyone knew that Seeing Jin Li was currently in the area of "I Am a Singer" and was no longer at Chenxi Entertainment.

Some paparazzi thought about it and decided to continue squatting at Chenxi Entertainment.

But some paparazzi also decisively changed direction and rushed to the city where "I Am a Singer" was located.

Except for Xi Sister Meng Ze, no one knew Seeing Jin Li's movements.

And facing the inquiries of many people, Xi Sister Meng Ze pretended not to know what they meant. Whenever someone asked about Seeing Jin Li or her recent schedule, she would always say:

"I don't know where she went, just look at the mood."

Xi Sister Meng Ze was covering for Seeing Jin Li. In fact, after they had dinner yesterday, Seeing Jin Li returned to Chenxi Entertainment overnight.

On the other side, the "Dawn" crew.

After waking up, everyone found that the discussion about the movie had become even higher.

After going online, they knew that yesterday "I Am a Singer" started broadcasting, and Xi Sister Meng Ze sang the movie theme song in the first show and won first place.

Seeing Jin Li also made a surprise appearance to cheer for her, setting off a climax.

Last night, the whole internet was discussing Xi Sister Meng Ze and Seeing Jin Li. Netizens joked that this was a two-way rush between teammates.

In the crew, the actors were also discussing Seeing Jin Li.

In the morning, they knew the results of the first day of the movie release yesterday. The first-day box office took 70 million, topping the list!

With such results and such discussion buzz, how could the actors not be excited?

"Exploded as soon as it aired, and the current reputation is also good. According to these results, it is hopeful to repeat the box office. It seems Director Chu is really going to hold a celebration banquet!"

"Yeah, yeah, I said why Seeing Jin Li didn't come last night. It turns out she had more important things to do, to help the movie create topic buzz!"

"Xi Sister Meng Ze also sang the movie theme song yesterday. I don't know if the director gave her advertising fees."

"I really hope Seeing Jin Li hits the trending search every three days. In this way, the movie will not lack buzz, and more and more people will be curious and watch it."

Xu Ting walked into the conference room and heard everyone's discussion. It was all about Seeing Jin Li. The smile on her face couldn't help but fade a lot.

She stayed for a few minutes and found an excuse to leave.

Unfortunately, the actors who were discussing excitedly didn't notice her leaving at all.

She was the heroine in the play, but her status in the crew couldn't be highlighted, and instead, she was a bit marginalized and embarrassed.

Xu Ting went to find Bai Jiang. It happened that Bai Jiang's assistant pushed the door open, and Xu Ting followed the door in.

The assistant was stunned for a moment, his brows slightly frowned, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Ting had done this before. At that time, the relationship was different. Bai Jiang and Xu Ting were still friends, but now...

The assistant specifically raised his voice and said: "Good morning, Sister Xu Ting. Are you here to talk to Brother Bai Jiang about problems? Do you want me to prepare a breakfast for you too?"

Xu Ting shook her head: "No need, I've eaten."

Bai Jiang sat at the table, put down the skincare products in his hand, looked up at the mirror, and saw Xu Ting behind him.

With no outsiders, Xu Ting didn't hide the expression on her face.

Impatience, anxiety, and some dissatisfaction and speechlessness.

After the assistant left, Xu Ting said: "I feel Director Chu is too aggressive this time. In the past, his movies were all out of the circle by big-scene special effects, ability, reputation, and plot, but this time he relied entirely on hype."

"A film hyped up, success is hype, failure is hype. I don't want this film to be labeled as relying on Seeing Jin Li to get up. I want to talk to Director Chu."

Bai Jiang looked directly at Xu Ting in the mirror and said lightly: "The situation you mentioned is that the movie has no strength and can only rely on hype to pull the box office. The audience walking into the movie theater is scolding the movie for being unworthy of its position."

"But the reputation of 'Dawn' is very good. Relying on hype can quickly stand out and expand the advantage. Why not hype?"

Xu Ting actually knew this truth, but she just didn't want to face it.

Xu Ting: "Seeing Jin Li is the supporting actress of the movie. She has never participated in a promotion, but the crew wants to promote in her name. Don't you think it's strange?"

Bai Jiang: "What's strange? Although she didn't come to the crew with us, everything she did was adding buzz to 'Dawn'."

"Do you think she didn't promote? I think she is very dedicated to running, no need to stick to the form."

Xu Ting: "But we are the male and female leads..."

Bai Jiang suddenly interrupted her: "Yes, we are the male and female leads of the movie. The audience doesn't deny this point, but what does it matter if the promotion is not based on us? As long as people who have watched the movie know we are the male and female leads."

"Xu Ting, we have to admit that we are just not as popular as Seeing Jin Li, and we just need to rely on her to hype the buzz. As long as we can bring box office help to the movie, even if an 18th-tier small actor in the movie becomes popular, I am willing to let the crew promote based on him."

"If you don't face this point, your mentality will be unbalanced. By then, the whole crew will know that you can't stand all this, and spreading it out will be bad for the movie."

He paused, "You are a professional actor. No matter how dissatisfied you are inside, you have to fake a smile."

Xu Ting was silent for a good while before saying: "I thought you would stand on my side. We could have done more things and participated in the promotion, without relying entirely on Seeing Jin Li."

Bai Jiang: "You think of me as too selfless. I quite want to be lazy. Seeing Jin Li can pull the buzz, so I don't want to run the promotion. What's more, the male and female leads of the movie are ultimately ours, aren't they?"

Xu Ting understood Bai Jiang's words, but she just felt something was wrong.

Everyone was comforting her, as long as she firmly occupied the name of the heroine.

But the movie promotion until now, Xu Ting couldn't help but raise a suspicion: Is the heroine of this movie really her? ===== CHAPTER 605 =====
