Chapter 194: Can you compare to me?

"Live audition?" Qin Zhitong's agent was stunned.

Xu Tian turned his gaze to Qin Zhitong, who had a gloomy face: "Scared?"

The artists watching the excitement nearby looked at Xu Tian with the eyes of looking at a fool upon hearing this.

"Was this kid's head caught in a door?"

"Is he trying to embarrass himself in front of the media and the audience?"

"Heh, you guys are still too young..."

An elderly female artist curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Isn't this just a good opportunity for hype? Don't look at this kid as having no ability, but he is quite good at crooked ways. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly let Murong Xue post a tribute video before Heavenly Xiao Tianhou even died. I guess he must have learned from some channel that Heavenly Xiao Tianhou was seriously ill, so he let his artist gain heat. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that not long after Murong Xue posted the video, Heavenly Xiao Tianhou really passed away?"

"But what benefit can he get by asking for a public audition now? Embarrassing himself in front of the media, and having the ugly state of being eliminated broadcast live nationwide, will only make Murong Xue completely unable to receive any announcements in the future, right?"

"You don't know this. Murong Xue being able to have the opportunity to enter the second round is the highlight of her life. Based on her qualifications, she definitely won't be selected. Won't she become a commoner again after that?"

"Now Xu Tian is asking to invite the media and doing some public audition. The fans who follow Qin Zhitong will definitely remember Murong Xue too. 'Black-red' is also red. This is obviously wanting to use Qin Zhitong to hype and gain traffic!"

"Is this Xu Tian too insidious? So many tricks! Absolutely no bottom line for the sake of hype..."

The minor artists pointed at Xu Tian and Murong Xue one after another, completely forgetting that the time for the second round to start had already arrived.

Ten minutes before the second round, Han Baoping led a group of judges into the audition studio.

Whether it was Qin Zhitong's provocation or Xu Tian's words from the surrounding minor artists, they heard everything clearly.

Han Baoping looked at the confident Xu Tian with a calm gaze, but a trace of imperceptible exploration flashed in his black eyes.

This young man is a bit interesting.

Qin Zhitong had always been arrogant and willful, so naturally, she couldn't allow anyone to provoke her.

And she had always been conceited, thinking she was a strength-based actor among female stars with similar traffic, much better than those vases who only knew how to pose and use scandals to gain attention.

Therefore, Xu Tian's almost provocative words just now could be said to have immediately grasped her vital point.

"Do you think I would be afraid?"

Qin Zhitong rolled her eyes at Xu Tian and turned to walk towards Han Baoping.

"Han Zhizuo, I want a public audition, let the media broadcast the whole process. Otherwise, some narrow-minded people won't be able to afford to lose and will go around spreading rumors that I was selected as the female lead because of hidden rules!"

"Let the media broadcast?"

Han Baoping had never held a public audition before. Hearing Qin Zhitong say this, his expression gradually became serious.

"Tongtong, don't be impulsive, just happen to fall into that kid's trick!"

The agent hurried over, wanting to stop Qin Zhitong and not let her create side issues.

However, Qin Zhitong didn't listen to persuasion. Seeing that Han Baoping didn't express his position immediately, she simply aimed her spearhead at Murong Xue again.

"Murong Xue, do you dare to compare with me?"

"How to compare?" Murong Xue stared at her vigilantly.

"If your audition score is not as good as mine, you must post on Weibo admitting that your singing skills are mediocre and you only know how to hype, that you are simply not qualified to participate in the musical commemorating Heavenly Xiao Tianhou, and during the musical rehearsals and tours, you must be my follower assistant for a year for free."

Qin Zhitong's move could be described as killing the heart.

If she won, Murong Xue would not only be unable to perform in the musical, but she would also have to serve tea and water to her, the legitimate female lead, during the musical tour, watching her soar because of this.

If Murong Xue's mind was not firm, I'm afraid she would never be able to get ahead in this life.

"Tongtong..." The agent originally wanted to stop Qin Zhitong, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, her movements paused slightly, and she also became somewhat hesitant.

Actually, when the musical was launched before, Murong Xue's voice on the internet was very high, but whether to use an artist in the entertainment industry, fan voice is often not the most important thing. The production side will consider it comprehensively from many aspects, coupled with the pressure from investors, so internet public opinion is just a negligible part.

Even so, after an artist receives a certain announcement, they also hope to get the recognition of fans.

If Qin Zhitong was elected, there would inevitably be some comments on the internet questioning her support for Murong Xue.

After all, for netizens, a nobody without works belongs to a vulnerable group. Internet public opinion in recent years has always been that whoever is weak is reasonable.

At that time, maybe someone would question Qin Zhitong for using the back door, and the role was obtained in an unjustifiable way.

If Qin Zhitong won against Murong Xue in a public audition and made her admit on Weibo that her skills were inferior, then public opinion would inevitably be favorable to Qin Zhitong.

Most importantly, in her view, if it were really a public audition, Qin Zhitong, a singer who graduated from a musical major and even held a concert, could not be afraid of a newcomer who only had one debut song.

Not to mention that this time, in order to get this role, besides whispering in her godfather's ear, Qin Zhitong also hired a vocal teacher from abroad at a high price for a month of intensive training.

Whether it was the right time, the right place, or the right people, everything was on Qin Zhitong's side.

At the same time, Murong Xue originally didn't want to be so high-profile, but now all eyes in the audition studio were on her, making her have to speak.

"What if my score is better than yours?"

No matter how soft Murong Xue's personality was, she still had a temper.

Now being provoked by Qin Zhitong in public, if she retreated, she would never be able to hold her head up in the entertainment industry again.

Not to mention that this audition was her last hope; she could only succeed and not fail.

"Can you compare to me?"

Qin Zhitong found it funny and spoke very casually: "If you win, you can set any conditions!"

"Okay, then I promise you."

Murong Xue gathered her courage and met Qin Zhitong's gaze: "If my score is better than yours, then I want you and your agent to apologize to Brother Xu."

Xu Tian was slightly startled.

He was very curious about how Murong Xue would face Qin Zhitong, and he didn't want Murong Xue to be a flower in a greenhouse for the rest of her life, so he let her face Qin Zhitong's provocation alone.

But he didn't expect that what Murong Xue wanted after winning was just to have them apologize to him.

Qin Zhitong's agent's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She could be considered a big agent in the entertainment industry. Usually, those minor artists who just debuted had to greet her respectfully when they saw her. Murong Xue, this nobody, actually dared to ask her to apologize?

Qin Zhitong didn't care about Murong Xue's request at all. She snorted and said, "Whatever you want!"

Murong Xue turned her head to look at Han Baoping upon hearing this: "Han Zhizuo, can we let the media broadcast the audition?" ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
