Small fish eat big demon [entertainment circle]

The host led the contestants to greet the judges one by one, then his eyes lit up, and he suggested, "While all the teachers are here, why don't you perform this show for the teachers first?"

He looked at several contestants: "Who is the team leader of your group?"

Soon, Linglong, who was elected as the team leader because of her outstanding performance, stood up under the eyes of everyone.

She tried her best not to care about Ji Mantao and Gu Qingqiu, and only explained to the host: "Our positions are still being revised, and we are temporarily unable to perform for the judges and teachers..."

The time given by the program group is very tight. Although the performance will be held tomorrow night, several programs are still in the final preparations.

Linglong's group is all girls with excellent singing ability. They have no obstacles in the song practice session, but they need to spend some energy on the simple standing and dancing parts.

The host did not give up after hearing Linglong's explanation.

"Then let's sing a little bit." He smiled, "We came from the "Yayoi" group just now, and they also performed a short dance that has no objection."

Linglong was a little embarrassed.

At this time, the team member standing behind her suddenly said: "If there is no objection at all... it should be the solo part of the team leader."

She stuck out her tongue: "We are not as good as the team leader, we need to practice again."

As soon as the words came out, the other girls began to agree.

They laughed for a while, and the host simply suggested: "In that case, Linglong, then it's up to you to show the solo part of this song."

Linglong actually didn't want to agree, but the host gave her a wink.

It is currently being recorded, if you refuse to perform twice in a row, it will be very bad behavior.

Linglong hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement for the image of the entire team.

Gu Qingqiu and several judges took their seats in the auditorium, and Linglong also came to the front of the microphone.

She just wanted to close her eyes and brew the emotion of the song, when she saw Ji Mantao leaning her chin on Gu Qingqiu's shoulder, turning her head slightly and talking to Gu Qingqiu.

Gu Qingqiu frowned slightly, Linglong knew that she was not very happy at this time, but Gu Qingqiu maintained a perfect expression, and did not make a direct move to avoid it.

She suddenly took a deep breath.

Then, she no longer habitually sang with her eyes closed as usual, but stared at the auditorium with her burning eyes, and performed the song.

When the singing ended, the audience burst into warm applause.

Among the judges, Zhong Renran, a professional singer, has always been the one who likes Linglong the most.

After Linglong finished her performance, she clapped her hands vigorously, and praised: "I have always been very good friends with the original singer of this song, but I am afraid that today I will risk offending her and say, Linglong, you sing too well." Great, in my opinion, even better than the original song!"

Linglong smiled shyly, and was about to thank her when she heard another tactful female voice cut in.

"It's pretty good, but I feel that there are some places that are not so good." Ji Mantao nodded her lips with her nails studded with crystal butterflies.

She turned her head to look at Gu Qingqiu, smiling brightly and movingly: "I think the emotional part is too much, what do you think, Qingqiu?"

Gu Qingqiu didn't speak, but Ji Mantao didn't feel embarrassed either.

She paused for two seconds, turned her gaze back to Linglong, and explained: "As an actor, I feel that your emotions were not properly controlled in the performance just now.

"A little girl like you who has not experienced much in the world likes to take things like love too seriously, and she will live or die at every turn."

She shook her head: "This is really bad, and it will lower the level of the whole song, making people feel inferior."

Linglong's lips turned pale, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

She nodded, not only because she was recording at this time, she had to show respect to Ji Mantao, but also because—

In her heart, she vaguely knew that Ji Mantao was right.

Zhong Renran tried to smooth things over, and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's okay, the song, it just depends on everyone's understanding..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingqiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Man Tao is actually right." She didn't look at Linglong, but turned her eyes out of the window, "You are too attached to the emotional part, I don't think it's good."

Ji Mantao's mouth curled into a triumphant smile.

She leaned a little closer to Gu Qingqiu, and at the same time looked at Linglong, hoping that she would bow her head and admit her mistake, and then "correct" it.

But Linglong, who had already approved of Ji Mantao, suddenly changed her expression.

A strange blood color quickly appeared on her cheeks, in stark contrast to her pale lips: "No, I don't think it's bad."

She looked straight at Gu Qingqiu, and said: "Is it wrong to be attached to feelings? This is my own understanding, my own choice."

Gu Qingqiu finally looked at her with obvious disapproval in his eyes.

For Linglong, a little negative performance from her is more uncomfortable than accepting Ji Mantao's thousands of ridicules.

But Linglong still insisted.

She resisted her trembling body, and added: "But it's okay, don't worry, this only represents myself, I won't treat you..."

This "you" was braked in time, and no one except Linglong could hear it clearly.

She took a deep breath and continued: "...it won't bother anyone else."

The host didn't know what was going on.

But he still remembered his responsibilities, and after Linglong finished speaking, he said, "Haha, you can't say that, the choice depends on the cooperation of the team."

He stood up and greeted others: "Okay, this group is here, there are three groups behind, a few teachers, let's go to the next classroom without stopping."

Soon, this group of people left again in a mighty way like before.

Ji Mantao intentionally stayed behind, and before leaving the door, she glanced at Linglong expectantly.

Linglong clenched her fists and looked at her fearlessly.

After everyone left, Linglong's team members surrounded her.

"Oh my God, it's terrible! Every time I perform, I'm super nervous. I didn't expect there to be a surprise inspection."

"That's right! And the team leader carried everything for us haha, Linglong, you're amazing, I love you so much."

"Linglong won't be nervous at all, she's too strong psychologically, no wonder she's inseparable from the almighty Tong Ruo!"

"Where is Linglong not nervous?" Someone took Linglong's hand and covered it carefully, "You don't know, Linglong's whole hand is not warm...It must have been frightened just now."

When everyone heard this, they began to care about Linglong.

Linglong pulled her hand out from the palm of a team member.

She hooked the corner of her mouth: "I, I'm fine... well, let's continue rehearsing."

The girls in the room nodded in unison, and they didn't take this episode seriously.

-

After night falls, the whole day of recording is considered to be over.

Linglong originally wanted to leave with Tong Ruo and the others in their car, but was taken away by the staff on the way.

She saw a luxury car waiting at the corner from a distance, and after getting in the car, she saw Gu Qingqiu waiting inside.

Gu Qingqiu glanced at her indifferently: "I will also come here to record in the next two days. After you finish, go with my car."

Linglong cast her eyes out of the window, and replied softly "Yes".

The two of them didn't speak in tacit understanding. After returning home to wash, they usually finished their daily routine and hugged each other before falling asleep on the bed back to back.

Linglong curled herself up into a ball, trapped in the corner of the bed, and suddenly sighed.

She was somewhat nostalgic for the body temperature of Gu Qingqiu who was still in her arms just now, but she didn't turn around all night.

On the second day, the day of the performance came.

Since participating in this show, Linglong has performed several times.

She has no intellect and a generous personality, and she has already put the fear of going on stage behind her.

But this time, perhaps because of Gu Qingqiu's presence, she actually felt the tension she hadn't seen for a long time.

Before going on stage, Gu Jin Yao helped her tidy up the collar of her skirt, and when she felt that she was different from before, she comforted her: "Linglong...are you scared?

"Don't worry, I'm recording video today, Gu Qingqiu and Ji Mantao must not dare to do anything!"

Linglong shook her head: "I haven't."

"He said no." Gu Jin Yao pouted, "Your hands are so cold!"

Linglong knew that her words were not convincing, but she still tried her best to put on a smile.

Seeing her silent, Gu Jin Yao can only guess for himself.

"I heard that the judges criticized your performance yesterday..." Gu Jin Yao recalled the gossip he heard this morning, "Also, did you talk back to the judges?"

Linglong didn't want to deceive her friend, so she nodded honestly.

But she still comforted her and said, "It's also...not talking back, it's not as serious as what you heard."

"En." Gujin Yao nodded.

She glanced at the judges, then suddenly lowered her voice to Linglong's ear and said, "However, it doesn't matter even if your performance is not favored.

"Your popularity is already very high now, and your debut is a sure thing. Even if Gu Qingqiu gives you a low score, your ranking this time will be stable in the top ten, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Linglong nodded: "Yes, I know!"

She forced herself to show a calm smile, and finally fooled her friend.

After a while, all the procedures were completed, and Linglong's group finally stood on the stage.

When the music started, she saw that Ji Mantao was talking to Gu Qingqiu in the audience, she was in a trance for some moments.

This is a group program, and her part is the most difficult part of the chorus. At this time, the prelude started, which is far from her part.

The voices of the group members who sang the first line sounded out, not enough affectionate, but more than cute.

The rest of the people followed her intro, and interpreted this love song in a entangled and carefree manner.

Linglong was immersed in this sound, and half-drownedly understood the meaning of the song.

She thinks a lot.

She thought that what Ji Mantao said was not wrong, this song was actually to persuade people to put it down.

She thought that Gu Qingqiu was also right, she was not worthy to express her thoughts in front of them at all.

She thought that maybe she was the only one on this stage who was obsessed with it. After the judges' comments yesterday, all the team members who worked with her found the most suitable position for this song in the swing.

Addicted but not addicted.

When the last group member finished singing, the lights of the whole venue began to dim, and finally there was only one beam of light shining directly on Linglong in the center of the stage.

The music also stopped at a certain moment, and the notes were waiting for Linglong to use her purest voice to continue a new round of carnival feast.

Linglong squeezed the microphone tightly in her hand.

The cold and hard metal products pulled her out of the complicated thoughts at this moment.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that Gu Qingqiu completely ignored Ji Mantao who was lying next to her, and only asked to look at her intently.

Linglong raised the microphone to her mouth.

She spoke.

She didn't hold back any trace of emotion, and poured out her heart through the chorus with more emotion than yesterday's performance.

A team member closest to her couldn't control the expression on her face at all.

She was a little surprised, and seemed to want to pull Linglong to remind her not to be too emotional, but she couldn't move forward or retreat when she stretched her hand in mid-air.

No one stopped her, Linglong just stared into Gu Qingqiu's eyes and finished her part.

The camera captured her sad but blazing eyes at this time, and the director reminded her to look into the camera, but Linglong didn't seem to hear it at all, and she didn't turn around at all.

Finally, when the show came to an end, both the singers on stage and the audience in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingqiu sat on the chair with his back straight, his expression seemed to be in a daze.

But Ji Mantao, who had been with her before, knew that she was not like this.

She played a trick, and asked sarcastically, "That's it? Can a song by an inconspicuous koi spirit shock you like this?

"Gu Qingqiu, are you going back as you live?"

Gu Qingqiu finally woke up.

Ji Mantao found that she had set her sights on herself, and couldn't hold on any longer.

She grabbed Gu Qingqiu's arm: "For so many years, I have been working hard to get closer to you. Now, I am also a well-known figure in the film industry. He also won a lot of titles.

"What are you dissatisfied with? Can't you just look at me?

"What's so good about that carp essence?"

Gu Qingqiu pulled his arm out.

She closed her eyes: "You don't have to always compare yourself to her."

"She can't compare to me at all!" Ji Mantao lost his composure.

Gu Qingqiu snorted coldly: "She is different from you. She knows her identity very well."

Ji Mantao was stunned.

A series of teardrops began to flow from her eyes, and she couldn't stop them.

But soon, she started laughing again: "So, she doesn't have a chance, does she? You're still on your own."

She tried to hold Gu Qingqiu's palm, but she was not discouraged when she was dodged: "It's okay, I can wait, as long as you are not stupid enough to bewitch other monsters, I will always be at the closest position to you anyway."

Coincidentally, the blindfold was over, and the teardrops she shed just now disappeared like hallucinations.

The host threw the question to her, and Ji Mantao answered smoothly: "It's very good, I like the whole program very much, except for the chorus part of Linglong's contestant, which is a bit out of the overall tone, everything else is fine."

She raised the corner of her mouth: "Because of Linglong, my score may be relatively low, but I still suggest that everyone must pay attention to the issue of coordination next time. After all, this is not a solo performance, but a group performance."

Then, she showed her own score, and she gave it 10 out of 5.3.

Zhong Renran on the other side seemed to want to say something, but finally frowned and held back.

The host was surprised by the low score, and then looked at the last person - Gu Qingqiu.

Gu Qingqiu didn't have any extra nonsense, he just said "That's right".

Her expression was so indifferent that everyone on the stage was concerned except Linglong.

Ji Mantao gave a very low score just now, if they continue to stumble with Gu Qingqiu, then this time it is very likely that they will be at the bottom.

And Gu Qingqiu's slightly serious expression is obviously more convincing than the polite "not bad".

Linglong took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She made an important decision in her mind.

The bottom team needs to eliminate one person. If their results are really poor, then as the team leader, she can firmly reserve the elimination spot for herself.

But just when everyone agreed that Gu Qingqiu didn't like this show, Gu Qingqiu revealed the rating.

"Ten?" The host's eyes widened.

"There has never been a ten-point score in our show!" He confirmed to Gu Qingqiu: "Teacher Gu, are you serious?"

Gu Qingqiu nodded: "To be honest, I really like this show."

As she said that, she smiled: "I heard that flying guests only need to rate according to their preferences. If I do this...is there no violation?"

"No, your rating is valid." The host laughed.

He highly praised Linglong's group, and then continued with the next process.

Linglong got off the stage in a daze, and was hugged by the team members as soon as she got backstage.

"Received by Gu Yinghou's praise, I deserve it all my life!"

"Ten points! No one has ever gotten ten points on this show!"

"Oh my god! I'm about to cry! I knew the team leader wouldn't mess around!"

The little girls yelled excitedly, and Linglong had no choice but to cooperate with her smile.

After all the performances, the final score finally came out.

In this issue, due to the ten points given by Gu Qingqiu, Linglong, who had always been No.2, surpassed Tong Ruo for the first time and came to No.1 position.

On the ranking stage, Tong Ruo took the initiative to hug the helpless little koi, and whispered in her ear: "You performed very well today."

"Tong, Sister Tong Ruo, did I take your place?" Little Jinli was still in a daze.

"You have the strength, this position should be yours." She patted Le Yao on the back and walked straight to the No.2 seat.

After the ranking is over, the recording of this episode is considered to be completely over.

Everyone crowded in the background, celebrating and cheering, Linglong squeezed for a long time before she got out of the crowd.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw a familiar staff member.

This staff member is from Gu Qingqiu's company, and this time he accompanied Gu Qingqiu.

She moved closer to Linglong and said, "Linglong, Qingqiu's car is at the 9th row in the E area of ​​the underground parking lot. You can go there after you change your clothes. She is waiting for you."

Linglong nodded: "Okay."

After the staff left, Linglong was about to find a place to remove her makeup, but was stopped by an executive director of the program group.

"Linglong, this is the first time you got the No.1 position, come for an interview."

Linglong asked worriedly, "What time is it?"

"10:30...haha, it's a bit late today." The executive director replied.

She said as she walked, "However, it's normal for an artist to work to this point every day. You just have to get used to it."

Linglong nodded politely, and then asked, "Director, how long will the interview take?"

"Are you in a hurry to go back and rest?" The executive director smiled friendly, "It may take a little longer this time... But, it should not exceed an hour at most."

Linglong calculated the time and found that it would not exceed 12 o'clock, so she was slightly relieved.

By the time she finished coping with the recording on the director's side and was finally able to leave, it was already 11:30.

The "interview" mentioned by the director is not a simple interview. She also partnered with several other people to record a small game, which will be broadcast later as a sideshow.

After Linglong came out, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was surrounded by another group of people.

These people are the reporters who have been waiting by the door, waiting to interview her, the freshly released No. [-], and get first-hand information.

While Linglong was coping with answering their questions, she kept looking at the electronic clock on the wall.

A reporter noticed her strange behavior, and laughed and joked, "Is Linglong in a hurry to leave?"

Normally an artist would shake his head politely at this time, but Linglong nodded and said, "Yes."

At this time, the time has come to 11:50 in the evening.

"Is there anything urgent?" The reporter asked.

"I, I have an appointment with someone, um...so..." Linglong stammered to explain.

"It's so late? Who do you have an appointment with?" The reporter found a clue from her words, and he didn't let go of this clue.

Linglong knew that she had said something wrong, so she gritted her teeth and became silent.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and when the score display jumped from 54 to 55, Linglong couldn't stay still.

She pushed her head away from the crowd and walked straight out.

Of course the reporters were unwilling to let her go like this, Qiqi stopped her.But at the critical moment, Tong Ruo appeared from another corridor.

She is also a very popular contestant. She was the number one performer four times in a row before. The reporters weighed it for a second, decisively gave up on Linglong, who was only silent, and surrounded her.

Tong Ruo suppressed her worries, watched Linglong leave, and concentrated on answering the reporter's questions.

She even smoothed things over for Linglong.

"It's so late, of course the appointment is Jinyao. We are from the same company and we have to go back together. The driver is waiting." She smiled and complained: "If you don't let me go, the one who can't catch the bus tonight may become me gone."

There was a good-natured laugh from the reporters.

At the same time, the cell phone that Tong Ruo had been holding in his hand kept vibrating.

[Senior Yaozu]: Tong Ruo, where are you?

[Senior Yaozu]: After finally asking you about the origin of that bracelet, you ran away?

[Senior Yaozu]: You haven't told me where you saw that bracelet!This kind of treasure is not something that can be encountered on a casual walk!
