Chapter 376

After carefully reading the "24+6 into 20" process arrangement in her hand, He Lele looked up at the other contestants in the preparation room. Confusion, resentment, indifference, all kinds of emotions were present, but no one said anything.

"Sister Lele, what are these six 'predators'?" Rong Qingya, who had gone to Japan with the study group after the last competition and only rushed back last night, leaned over to He Lele and asked in a low voice.

He Lele glanced at the camera not far away and explained in a low voice, "During the auditions, for many reasons, some talented people didn't participate. After the competition started airing, many talented works appeared online with high popularity, so the organizers held another closed elite selection, choosing six contestants to compete directly with us for the top 20."

"Oh! 'Predating' our promotion spots!"

Yes, predating. Once any competition is on various media, its nature changes. The focus is no longer the "competition," but "entertainment." The organizers will try every means to design various segments, whether sentimental, cruel, or absurd... The more controversial and attention-grabbing the program is, the more successful it is.

As contestants in the competition, they can only be reduced to pawns in the hands of the organizers to a large extent, trying their best but perhaps already labeled as "discarded pawns."

However, as contestants, trying their best is still their only choice!

If everyone was just trying it out during the auditions, but after the second selection, a week of training, and two rounds of semi-finals, walking under the spotlight time and time again to accept the scrutiny of judges and the audience, and performing well or poorly time and time again, as the temporary winners who have walked to this point, no one wants to lose!

Trying your best is the greatest respect for yourself and your opponents!

"Beauties! Come over to draw lots!" Liu Jie held the ballot box and called out with a smile. As he shouted, he looked at the twenty-something contestants one by one, lingering on Rong Qingya for a few seconds before aiming at He Lele on the periphery of the crowd.

If you ask about this girl... he really didn't know what to say.

During the second selection, the situation took a turn for the better, making people break into a cold sweat for her, but precisely because of this, the director team immediately signaled the three judges to let her pass! Because intuition told them that this girl had a story! But just when they wanted to dig into her properly, the producer sent news that information about her should be downplayed.

Downplayed, not erased. The director team asked repeatedly, but the producer only told them not to worry about it.

Regarding this, even if the director team was dissatisfied and curious, they could only cut her shots and not mention her in press releases if possible. Therefore, in the outside world, she should be the one with the least presence among the 24 contestants. However, it's live broadcast now, and even if they cut shots, it's impossible to cut all her shots. Her performance and her face will eventually appear naked before the public. At that time, what will the situation be?

Thinking of the information the boss secretly sent people to collect, Liu Jie couldn't help but shudder. Although this circle never lacks scandals, once the various rumors about that girl spread...

Regardless of whether those rumors are true or false, the pressure they bring is equally unbearable! Does she know? Is she mentally prepared?

Meeting Liu Jie's worried eyes, He Lele was slightly surprised, but still responded with a smile. She was very grateful for his kindness and encouragement all along. Of course, he was like this to all the contestants.

"Alright, everyone is already familiar with the various situations during the training camp. Does anyone have any questions about tonight's process? None? Then good! Girls! Let's go!"

Liu Jie's shout amused many contestants, but the tense atmosphere was not diluted in the slightest.

Competition first segment: short play dubbing. The 24 contestants are divided into 6 groups, and then each group plus a "predator" stands behind five screens placed at each corner of the stage, dubbing for the actors performing live in the center of the stage. After each group performs, one hundred professional judges on the scene will vote for the two best contestants in this session, and the one with the lowest votes will walk out of the screen and bid farewell to the stage. After the 6 groups perform, the remaining contestants and "predators" will be divided into 4 groups, and after animation dubbing and judge voting, the four with the lowest votes in a single round will be eliminated, while the four with the highest cumulative votes will directly enter the top ten.

Unlike those singing and solo performance programs, dubbing performances are a confrontation sentence by sentence, more tragic than anyone expected. The audience in front of the TV pricked up their ears to listen to every word, even wanting to hear the contestants' breathing. Fans with preferences were even more excited, discussing crazily online while watching the live broadcast!

The official website of "Next Stop, Queen" had already crashed, the sponsoring advertisers were smiling, and the director team had been nervously controlling the overall situation without time to be excited, but everyone knew that they were already walking under the podium of success!

This was only the first round of the promotion competition!

After the two rounds of competition, ten contestants left the stage crying, laughing, or calmly, with their own moving and emotional voices as background music.

"I like dubbing, and I've dubbed many works. Although many times my name won't even appear after the play, I'm already very happy to let everyone hear my voice."

"Haha! Actually, I'm very vain! I just want to be those domineering protagonists, but given my comprehensive conditions, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to be an extra as an actor, but for dubbing, I have confidence!"

"Saying this might offend many people, but the fact is, many excellent foreign works can disgust people to death after dubbing! Since I'm dissatisfied with others, I want to try, if I do it, can I do it better."

When the departing backs of the ten contestants were combined and frozen on the TV screen, two lines of imposing calligraphy fell heavily on their backs—"Chinese voice actors, will surely rise!"

Failure? No! Stepping on the journey, every step is a victory!

After saying goodbye, the camera returned to the empty stage. The originally white screens actually lit up, and the faces of young girls flashed constantly with the gradually intensifying background music. After seeing some familiar faces, everyone knew that these were the contestants who had advanced to the top 20.

The music stopped abruptly, the stage and the four screens on both sides went dark, leaving only the screen in the center of the back of the stage lit. On the screen, an exquisite mask was facing a microphone, and then, the mask turned into a silhouette, but sparkling starlight floated out from the microphone.

"They, should be remembered, not just for their voices." The host's thick and sentimental words sounded in the studio. "This is the live broadcast site of the first round of the 'Next Stop, Queen' promotion competition. Below, let us first invite the four contestants who directly entered the top ten!"

"The first one, Ma Yue!"

"The second one, Qiao Yiyi!"

"The third one, Li Jing!"

"The fourth one—everyone must not have heard her name on the 'Next Stop, Queen' stage, because she is—predator Cui Yaran!"

☆, (11 Fresh Coins) Chapter 311: Don't Interfere

Cui Yaran, a name that once made her scream and wail for a whole night without being able to vent even half a bit of pain.

She didn't understand, couldn't figure it out, thought until she was too weak to think anymore. She couldn't think of any reason that would cause Cui Yaran to scheme against her for so many years, and even after acting for years in front of her, choose a time point to give her a fatal blow.

He Lele sat on the sofa, her eyes half-drooped casually, as if she were in a daze, or as if she were in deep thought. Mu Wei, Ruan Lin, and Li Yiquan around her saw that she didn't speak, so no one spoke for a while.

Tonight's live broadcast, when the host announced that next week's competition would be 16 contestants competing for the remaining six seats in the top ten, that predator who entered the top ten first smiled and spoke—

"Sorry, I have something to say."

Except for He Lele, almost everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw the host hand the microphone to Cui Yaran.

"He Huan, you must cheer up next week! I'll be waiting for you in the top ten competition!"
