Chapter 649: Won't tell you, won't tell you~
August in Huguang still carried the sweltering heat of summer.
Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu appeared at a small airport at 3 PM. Both wore masks and deliberately lowered their hat brims, walking hurriedly towards the exit with their suitcases.
The airport's air conditioning was on high. As soon as they stepped outside, the cold air they carried collided with the incoming heat, and a damp, humid chill seemed to condense around their clothes.
A Didi car had already been waiting at the airport entrance.
This airport was a small one, with few passengers coming and going; flights only arrived here every two or three days.
There weren't many cars picking people up either, and the whole place seemed somewhat desolate.
Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu scanned the entrance and walked towards a yellow and green car.
This car looked very much like one provided by a ride-hailing platform, but one could also see some traces of private modification, with a relatively large pink rabbit hanging on the car's trunk.
The two walked quickly towards this car.
Opening the car door, Sister Meng Ze greeted them happily from the back seat.
Afraid that the commotion would be too loud and they would be recognized by others, she didn't dare to hug them one by one, only waving excitedly, lowering her voice but unable to hide her excitement: "You guys finally came! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qi Guanmingzhu wasn't as happy as Sister Meng Ze.
The rehearsal time after the three of them reunited was too short!
She asked: "Is it only at 10 PM and 7 AM that we can rehearse on stage? Can't we communicate with the production team to get another round?"
Sister Meng Ze was a bit angry when she mentioned this.
"Originally, the production team promised me three rehearsal times, but an old-school singer's partner couldn't make it at the last minute, so she invited someone else these past few days and had to rehearse again.
That old-school singer proposed to the production team to take away two of my rehearsal opportunities, but the production team directly rejected her for me, giving her at most one.
If you ask me, if she came to me, I wouldn't give her even one!"
That old-school singer wanting to snatch Sister Meng Ze's rehearsal opportunity, including the production team's behavior of making decisions for her directly, was actually a sign of disrespect.
Even though she had performed excellently every time since participating in the show, with strength stably in the top three, she was still looked down upon.
But in the eyes of those seniors in the music industry, she was too young.
Although they were all first-tier singers, her influence was far from as wide as the old-school singers who had been deeply involved in the singer field.
Counting back and forth, there was only a girl group record to check.
Qi Guanmingzhu felt the same way: "It's okay, we're not angry. Among all the contestants this season, your popularity is the highest. They want to suppress you, but they can't.
Even if you don't become the King of Songs this time, the fame brought by the singer show can also allow you to get many opportunities.
Take this opportunity to participate in more music variety shows and build your fame. In the future, the singer production team won't dare to look down on you, and maybe they will even beg you to be on the show."
Seeing Jin Li smiled: "By the time that happens, I guess you won't want to participate in the singer show anymore."
Sister Meng Ze nodded heavily: "Of course. Since participating in PK, this show and other competitors don't know how much black material they've thrown at me.
They couldn't find any black material from these years, so they said I was ungrateful and abandoned the former employer who had the grace of taking me in.
As a result, netizens didn't buy it, so they could only release black material from my *Pink Girls* period. I was indeed young and frivolous at that time."
Sister Meng Ze said very frankly: "Everyone has a young time. I didn't think before I spoke, black or white, but that was also a part of me.
So Sister Fang urged me many times to post a clarification, but I just didn't clarify. If they want to smear me, let them.
No matter what, it can't cover up the fact that there is no one stronger than me in singing."
Seeing Jin Li felt that participating in a variety show like *I Am a Singer* that is very good at hype but also claims to only do strength is equivalent to crossing a tribulation for every singer.
If the tribulation passes, they will soar into the sky.
If the tribulation doesn't pass, they will be drowned by the spit of netizens.
Who is strong and who is weak is clear at a glance.
As a singer, Sister Meng Ze started fighting from the first episode, so her strength naturally goes without saying.
But the promotional singers found by the production team were very intriguing.
This season, although Seeing Jin Li didn't look closely, because Sister Meng Ze participated, she would search for related news on the Internet from time to time.
She found that the production team was really good at making trouble; it was worthy of being the Pineapple Channel famous for hype.
The production team actually found the enemy of the singer who became famous overnight last year because of being on this show to participate this year.
The singer's enemy is naturally also a singer, and they are evenly matched, the kind that is indistinguishable in terms of fame.
But the result was very unexpected.
Last year's singer A passed the tribulation successfully, the king who had been silent for many years returned, and became the god who controlled people's ears.
But this singer A's enemy, before A was exposed for black material, was still an artist in the same company as A, debuting as "A's good sister," and had many hit songs sung with A.
As a result, because singer A was exposed for a lot of black material, the good sister kicked her while she was down, and naturally became an enemy.
And this "good sister," perhaps full of confidence, decided to join the singer's stage, singing live throughout the whole process, and the result was...
She collapsed while singing.
Even if she was singing her own long-famous theme song, she would still collapse.
The production team likes to make trouble like this.
So when Seeing Jin Li learned that Sister Meng Ze was participating in *I Am a Singer* again, she broke into a cold sweat for her, fearing that she would be arranged a sacrificial script by the production team.
The three chatted while sharing gifts, and soon they came to a private dance practice room, and quickly entered the dance practice room to rehearse.
If they only grabbed dance moves at the rehearsal scene, it would already be too late.
The rehearsal scene is basically used for positioning, not for people to practice dance.
Because they were afraid of being recognized by fans, Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu didn't bring any assistants.
Sister Meng Ze was the same.
The more people you bring, the greater the risk of exposure.
In addition, fans often recognize stars through the assistants around them.
"Have you found out who the guest invited by Sister Meng Ze is?"
On the stage, an old-school singer asked another old-school singer.
The other old-school singer shook his head and said with a solemn face: "No, she hid it very tightly.
A few times before, I probed her on WeChat, but she didn't reveal a word. In the past few days, I met her in real life and asked a few times, saying that she wouldn't be hiding a super trump card, right? Sister Meng Ze smiled and didn't say anything, still refusing to say."
The old-school singer next to him said: "Sister Meng Ze doesn't follow the rules. How can we play like this?"
"Exactly, we all know who each other invited, but Sister Meng Ze didn't say a word, and she knows our guest lineup."
Old-school singers can't hide as well as Sister Meng Ze.
She hid it until the recording was about to start, and still didn't reveal who it was.
"If it weren't for Sister Wen specifically taking away one of her rehearsal opportunities, making her rehearsal rushed, we probably wouldn't have any bottom line in our hearts now."
Another singer asked: "Two rehearsals look very few, but if they have already rehearsed for a long time in private, then they only need to set a point at the rehearsal scene. What effect can it have?"
Other singers smiled.
"You don't understand this. Singer rehearsal is not as simple as just setting a point. It also needs to be polished with the live band. Just polishing twice, wanting to polish very well, is very difficult."
How to say it, in the early singer competitions, everyone tended to fight alone and rarely used a band.
But now that they have reached the finals, everyone has their own tricks, and they all hope that their program can be a bit grander.
So every master used a band.
Long rehearsal time is all for polishing with the band.
An old singer thought of something and said with extreme solemnity: "No matter who she invites, I'm not worried. The only thing I'm worried about is that she will invite Seeing Jin Li.
In the first episode, Seeing Jin Li just sat under the stage as an audience member, and she already pulled a lot of votes for her.
If she invites Seeing Jin Li as a guest to help sing this time, then we don't need to compete at all. Wouldn't it be faster to just admit defeat?"
As soon as the two words "Seeing Jin Li" came out, solemn expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Seeing Jin Li is a very large unstable factor.
Although she is not a professional singer, the popularity and heat she brings are very crazy.
People have filters, especially the filters netizens have had for Seeing Jin Li in the past two years.
Even if she is not a professional singer, as long as she sings normally and doesn't make any mistakes.
With the degree of netizens' love for her, I'm afraid they will praise her to the sky, and they will also vote heavily.
"Seeing Jin Li shouldn't come."
A singer said: "I specifically checked her schedule for today. She attended a promotional event for Fang Fei in the morning, and at noon, she was photographed eating in the company cafeteria. She should be staying at Chenxi Entertainment."
"Yes, if Seeing Jin Li really wanted to come to help sing, she would definitely practice dancing very diligently, but she didn't post anything on her blog, but instead focused on studying every day."
As for Qi Guanmingzhu.
This person is not in the consideration range of old-school singers at all. Although they are both first-tier stars, Qi Guanmingzhu's popularity is much weaker than Seeing Jin Li's, and even Sister Meng Ze can't compare.
And she is not from a professional singing background. If she really invited Qi Guanmingzhu to help sing, the stage should be very average.
The old-school singers didn't expect that they not only guessed wrong, but also guessed very ridiculously.
Sister Meng Ze seemed to know that other singers would stare at her guest, and I don't know how she persuaded the production team. Originally, she was the last to participate in the rehearsal tonight, scheduled for 10 PM, but she persuaded the production team to move it to 5 AM rehearsal.
Yes, 5 AM!
The people sent by those old-school singers didn't squat at 10 PM, and they didn't squat at 7 AM either!
So much so that the people who were watching thought Sister Meng Ze was going to withdraw from the competition.
Later, some singers couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask the production team, only to know that Sister Meng Ze rehearsed at 5 AM and left after rehearsing until 6:30.
Perfectly played a time difference with the people who were watching.
Her move made the old-school singers even more puzzled. Who is the guest?
Actually hid it so tightly!
Originally, everyone thought it wouldn't be Seeing Jin Li, but she hid it so tightly that everyone had a sense of unease. No way, could it really be Seeing Jin Li?
Time passed in a flash, and soon it was 6 PM recording scene.
The guest and the contestants' lounges are separate.
After the guest appears on the show, they will go to the contestant's lounge, join the group chat, and read advertising slogans.
Generally speaking, contestants are in one room, and guests are in another.
But the production team had other thoughts about Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu. Under Sister Meng Ze's request, the production team half-pushed and half-agreed to arrange a separate room for these two people.
Let them be separated from other guests.
So when other contestants were very puzzled, the guests were also very puzzled.
Everyone communicated with each other and knew who they were helping to sing.
Only they didn't know who the guest Sister Meng Ze chose was.
"Have you heard anything?" a guest asked others curiously.
Others shook their heads and said: "No, I haven't heard anything."
Others sighed: "Sister Meng Ze hid it too tightly!"
And on the Internet, the moment the show started broadcasting, netizens pieced together news from all directions and already knew who the guest invited by each singer was.
They even got the list yesterday.
But only Sister Meng Ze's guest was blank.
Some people even put a question mark in the blank column, suspecting that she didn't invite a guest.
After all, the help-singing link can also be sung alone.
Helping to sing is to help you become better, not to drag you down.
If you can't find a singer who can really help you sing better, then singing alone might be the best choice.
【I have a bold guess, could it be Seeing Jin Li?】
【I also have a guess, could it be Qi Guanmingzhu? She recently posted a video of practicing dance on her blog, and obviously pushed off many appearances】
【I think, if the guest is Qi Guanmingzhu, there is no need to hide it so much. Seeing Jin Li is more likely】
【But Seeing Jin Li was still running events yesterday!】
【Haha, it's impossible for Seeing Jin Li and Pearl to come to help sing together, right? The century reunion is half completed~】
Afterwards, this comment was turned out.
Many netizens checked in and left messages under this comment.
【Prophet!!】
And in the show.
The place arranged by the production team for Seeing Jin Li and Qi Guanmingzhu was a small lounge.
Although it is said to be small, it is also 50 square meters, enough for the two to dance and practice.
The only drawback of this lounge is that the sound insulation is not good.
As they practiced, they would hear the singing from the scene outside from time to time.
Unfortunately, the singing was very blurry and unclear, only a kind of stuttering irritability.
Qi Guanmingzhu suddenly stopped and said: "Don't practice anymore. The more I practice, the more nervous I get. Seeing Jin Li, is there any way to relieve tension?"
Seeing Jin Li pondered for a while, suddenly thought of something, and said:
"I've been reading books on religious studies recently and learned a little bit of Daoist rituals and ceremonies. Among them, there is a ritual that blesses wishes to come true. Shall we try it?"
"Ah?" Qi Guanmingzhu was stunned. "Are you sure?"
Seeing Jin Li blinked. "Anyway, it's all to kill time. I think doing this can eliminate tension."
What the two didn't know was that the production team privately placed a camera lens in the tissue box, and it had been on the whole time. ===== CHAPTER 650 =====
