[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

On the bus to the hotel, the staff was giving final explanations to the players.

"After arriving at the hotel, you can directly register at the front desk with your name and ID to get your room card."

"We have already booked rooms for you, basically double rooms."

"There is your schedule in the room, be careful not to miss practice and game time."

"The competition time for your batch is the day after tomorrow. This round of competition is a three-person chorus. We have randomly assigned teammates for you. You will see the names of your teammates on your schedule. The optional playlist is also available. attached to the table."

"This afternoon, you can take a good rest, or get to know each other, and think about the way the three of you perform. Tomorrow morning, a vocal teacher will give you professional guidance. You will rehearse yourself in the afternoon, and the game will be officially recorded the next morning."

"By the way, there are also your breakfast, lunch and dinner times on the itinerary. Be careful not to miss them. The location is the restaurant on the 9th floor. It is in the form of a buffet. You can take your meals when the time comes."

"Also, there are many public practice rooms on the 15th floor. Whether you bring your own instruments, borrow instruments from the piano room, or want to rehearse dances, you can practice there. Remember to register if you borrow instruments. Finally, The space in the practice room is limited, you can coordinate and arrange it yourself, first come first served or take turns to practice, you can figure it out, understand?"

The staff briefly introduced the competition arrangement, and the bus also slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

"I really hope we can arrange it together." After listening to the explanation carefully, Rachel became more nervous and couldn't help whispering to Yili.

She thinks that the other party is a girl who is easy to get along with, kind and upright, and she will feel very at ease with such a person, especially after meeting the guy just now, she wants to be with girls even more.

Of course, she does have her own little selfishness. In this strange environment, among these strange players, she is very afraid of encountering any unexpected situation—the situation just now changed her, and she definitely does not have the courage To fight hard against the opponent, the most is to endure silently, compete well, and have no confidence in arguing with others. Therefore, she envies and yearns for such a brave and confident girl, and unconsciously seeks the opponent's protection.

"Me too." Yi Li replied with a smile, "However, even if we don't live together, it doesn't affect our communication, does it?" Some people will harshly regard it as a kind of use, but the communication between people is not pure and flawless. It is enough to have a genuine mutual affection. A one-sided relationship is never strong.

So far, Rachel is a good cohabitant choice.At least, the girl has a gentle personality, and I will talk about her character later. As a cohabitant, even if there are differences in living habits or thoughts and behaviors between the two, they can negotiate with each other based on their personalities, unlike some hot-tempered People like to tear directly——Eli is not afraid of tearing, but she doesn't want to tear for the sake of tearing, especially this kind of tearing can't let the opponent go, it will only leave a tough impression on others, and this is not a complete compliment .

Yili prefers to hit it right away, either not tearing it up, or tearing it to the end, completely tearing people away, so as to avoid future troubles.

Just like the young man just now, his subtext is to look down on the poor. Whether it is from Yili's subjective likes and dislikes or from the perspective of political correctness, this guy has touched a minefield. Yili dare say that he is already doomed. up.As a reality show contestant, you can be bitch, shameless, and even double-faced, but you just can't be politically incorrect, this is the bottom line.

In this capitalist country, even if it is a fact that everything is aligned with money, it must not be said so. Otherwise, why have people replaced the earlier blunt "social class" with a moderate "social class" in public these years? class"?It's just to downplay the concept of hierarchy, and it's also in line with the idea of ​​equality of the US imperialists-although everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf for society.

The contestants got off the car one by one, picked up their luggage, and quickly completed registration at the front desk and got their room cards.

Eli's room key is 1207, and Rachel's is 1009.

Seeing that the room cards of the two are really different—among hundreds of people, the probability of the two of them being allocated together by chance is too low, but Rachel still couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and Yili also expressed that there was nothing she could do about it. He could only hug her shoulder comfortingly, and then the two said goodbye in the elevator. After making an appointment to have dinner together, Rachel got off the elevator first.

Standing at the door of room 1207, Yili didn't know what kind of roommate was waiting for her. Of course, it is also possible that her roommate hadn't come yet, and Yili was the one who arrived first.In any case, this is not up to her to decide, she can only passively accept the arrangement of the program group, and get along with her roommate as harmoniously as possible, provided that the other party is not a difficult person to get along with.

After swiping the room card, the door lock opened with a beep, and Yili was about to push the door to enter, but the door only opened a small gap, and a door chain clearly lay across the gap.

Great, her roommate has arrived.This is Yili's first conclusion.

However, the door has not yet come to open after hearing the sound of the door lock, is this an insult to the latecomers?Yili frowned secretly. She really didn't want to meet a roommate who was not easy to talk to. Of course, it didn't rule out that the other party didn't hear during lunch break or listening to music, or it was inconvenient when she was busy with other things. Then it would be another matter. Never mind.No matter what, Yili still hoped that this roommate whom she hadn't met was really busy and didn't have any opinions on her, otherwise, the relationship between the two would be troublesome as you can imagine.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Yili patted the door decisively, making a moderate sound.

"Come on!" A hoarse female voice came from the room—maybe the other party was indeed on a lunch break?Eli thought to herself.

With a rustling sound and dragging footsteps, a slender hand pulled the door chain, the door opened quickly, and a blond woman with slightly brown hair came into Yili's eyes.She looks mediocre, not a beauty, but she is above the standard line. At least she looks pleasing to the eye. She is in her 20s, wearing a light gray vest and washed blue denim shorts. Her skin is slightly dark. It can be seen that she has been tanned. It is a common plump body type, but with chest, waist and hips, it is a very popular type in reality.

Old beauties love this kind of sensual figure, otherwise how would the notorious Kardashians attract the attention of the public?That kind of fleshy figure is what makes people want to stop. In American aesthetics, this is called femininity.As for the kind of bony and cold little fairy, it is too young for the public, most of them are popular in the high-end fashion circle, and ordinary people rarely eat this one. Of course, the youthful and healthy girly feeling is still eaten, a bit small Sexy couldn't be better.

"Hello, you are..." The other party leaned against the door and asked aloud.

"Sally Shuist, your roommate." Yili shook the room card in her hand, and replied with a smile-swiping the door had already revealed her identity, and Yili didn't know why the other party asked knowingly, He didn't even mean to let her in, but Yili still cooperatively announced her name.Whether they like it or not, they are all roommates who will get along with each other for some time to come, and Yili hopes to get off to a good start.Or, even if there will be a big tear one day, Yili doesn't want to be that gangster.

"Hi, welcome, I'm Keira Flynn, just call me Keira." The other party showed a suddenly realized expression, and after smiling heartily, he turned his body and let Yi Li go in—the other party's attitude was too Frankly, Yili thought for a moment that she was being overwhelmed, but being overwhelmed was fine, it was better than the other party being really hostile, if the other party really behaved like her.

"Thank you." Yili thanked her with a smile before walking in with her luggage.

This is a standard double room. There is a bathroom next to the short aisle. The door is ajar, with all the washing and shower facilities. Opposite is a full-length mirror and a semi-open wardrobe.Walking through the aisle, what comes into view is a TV and TV cabinet, a desk, a Windsor chair, two fabric single sofas with a small tea table, a coat rack, and two single bed.

What Yili paid special attention to was that there were traces of someone lying on one of the beds, a mobile phone with earphones next to the pillow, and a short coat scattered on the other bed.Seeing this, Yili couldn't help raising her eyebrows. Generally speaking, after the first comer chooses her own bed, she will not move another bed that belongs to someone else. Of course, it is common to leave too many things temporarily Yes, but most people would take it away in time, and now there are things on both beds, it can only be said that the other party is either a carefree person or a rude person-well, there is not much difference between the two.

"Well, is this coat yours?" Yili didn't care about the other party's original intention of doing this, nor was she interested in discussing the other party's character and behavior. She just wanted to solve the problem straightforwardly.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Keira smiled, quickly picked up her coat, and said in an explanatory way, "I was taking a nap before, and the clothes were a little rough, so I put them on your bed ,Feel sorry."

"It's okay, you can hang it on the coat rack next time." Yili said casually.

The other person's behavior is actually not a big deal, but it's not a good start.It might be clean clothes at first, but who knows what it will be after you get used to it?Sweaty vests, trousers worn all day, or to exaggerate, the food brought back from the outside, just say "put it away" and just pile it up on other people's beds. Make that clear from the start.Yili didn't want to be too rude, but she also didn't want to spoil the other party, so she mentioned it lightly.

"...I know." Keira felt a sense of embarrassment that turned from embarrassment into anger, and the embarrassment of being exposed mercilessly for her small abacus.

It's hard for her to say whether she intends to deliberately make things difficult for the other party, maybe she does, maybe she doesn't, maybe half or half, but she asks herself, she is really used to taking the lead in living with others, making herself an invisible master, letting others Become a second-class guest, this is probably the means she has mastered in sharing the rent with others time and time again.

If you don't overwhelm others, others will overwhelm her. You must take the right to speak in your own hands and let yourself be the one who can speak, otherwise, if you compromise at the beginning, you will no longer be able to be tough later.She remembered that the first time she rented a room with someone else, the girl always ignored the rules and brought all kinds of men back to spend the night, making her unbearable. Even if she asked her to have a serious talk, she didn't take it seriously. It was too easy to talk at first.

Well, maybe she did it a bit inappropriate this time, but the girl's reaction was too big, as for being so rude?So what if I let it go?It's just the first time, can't you say it well, as for saying something so meaningful?Thinking of this, Keira felt a little uncomfortable.As for, Yili's words were indeed not polite, but they were by no means offensive. Maybe Kaila was guilty and overreacted. Kaila didn't consider this kind of thinking. People always think from their own standpoint.

Yili noticed Keira's little displeasure, but didn't take it to heart.

It is rare for people to get along with each other from the beginning to the end. Most of them have a process of running in. Occasionally, there will be a bigger contradiction in front of them, so they ignore the internal problems, but finally, resolve After overcoming all external difficulties, we still have to face this problem of getting along with each other.

Temporary unhappiness is nothing, as long as you don’t offend to the end, there is no principled conflict, and you see people’s hearts for a long time, people who get along will eventually get along. As for those who really hold grudges because of such trivial things, there is no need to deal with them. Just keep it at a respectful distance.Getting along as equals is not based on compromise, but on mutual respect. Blind compromise is not called tolerance, but patience.Of course you can take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter, but you can't go back step by step, there is no way to go back step by step.

"By the way, I'm participating in the audition in San Diego, how about you?" Keira asked while sitting on the bed.

"I participated in the audition in Philadelphia, and my family is in Connecticut." Yi Li replied while packing her luggage.

"Wow, the state of the rich?" Kaila raised her eyebrows, and curled her lips inadvertently, "Then you are still here to participate in the competition?"

"Everyone has the right to chase their dreams, right?" Yili smiled and said indifferently, "Besides, it's not what you imagine. My family is an ordinary family, and it has nothing to do with rich people or anything."

"Okay." Hearing this, Keira finally felt that the depression in her heart dissipated a little, "By the way, are you working now? Or are you studying?" She paused, and before Yili could speak, she took the initiative Guess, "I don't think you have a job yet, do you?"

"Yes, how did you know that?" Yili responded in surprise.

"I'm the best at seeing people." Kayla raised the corners of her mouth proudly, "I was a receptionist at a Michelin restaurant in Las Vegas, and I've seen all kinds of guests. You look like those nice people. A girl from a family background.” She is reserved and decent, but she has clear principles and never compromises easily.Thinking of this, Keira frowned uncomfortably, but she quickly put away this look and said very generously, "If you need, I can even make an appointment for you in advance. I know the foreman very well. , maybe let you join the team or something, you know, I can talk."

"That's really great." Yili smiled, "I will ask you then, please do me this favor."

As a participant and final winner of a certain issue of Hell's Kitchen, Yili is fully aware of Michelin's transcendent status in the catering industry, but Michelin is not unattainable. At least, after Yili left Hell's Kitchen, " "Leah" opened a Michelin three-star restaurant by herself, and it only took half a year from opening to rating.

Yili will not regard this as her own glory, even if it is an achievement that the system calculates and believes that the follow-up "Leah" can obtain, but in Yili's view, it has nothing to do with her. Li's perception of Michelin.

A restaurant with a Michelin star is undoubtedly a good restaurant, but it depends on how good it is. It depends on everyone's taste. When it comes to restaurant reservations, only a very small number of popular restaurants need to be booked ten and a half months in advance, and most of them can be booked a few days in advance. That's ok - that's not to say that Michelin restaurants are always overcrowded, it's more for service reasons, so that the head waiter can know the tastes of the guests in advance, avoid those foods that are taboo, and thus provide a more enjoyable dining experience.Of course, popular restaurants and popular times must be booked in advance, and Michelin three-star restaurants on holidays can be booked two or three months in advance.

In the final analysis, if Keira is working in a Michelin three-star restaurant, then the advance reservation is very valuable, but if it is only one star, then it is of little significance.But Yili didn't care about the reservation at all, she just said what Keira wanted to hear to make Keira happy.Rather than helping others, being helped by others is the best way to get closer to each other.How can receiving grace be easier and more enjoyable than giving grace? Charity is an intangible asset, while receiving grace is an invisible liability.

"Of course, it's a trivial matter." Hearing Yili's answer, Keira said happily.

At this moment, she felt that the girl was much more pleasing to the eye.

The two chatted without saying a word, and Yili quickly packed her bags and sat down to read her itinerary.

"Are we teammates?" Ellie saw the three names juxtaposed above the form at a glance - Jonas Beard (1206), Keira Flynn (1207) and Sally Slivan (1207).

Yili was a little surprised that Keira was her roommate and teammate, but she also felt it was reasonable.What really surprised Yili was the description of the team competition below, which roughly means that if the players are not satisfied with the default teammates, they can change them by themselves, as long as the team size is kept between three and five people, and the final performance is done before the final performance. It is enough for the judges to explain-this is almost giving back the right to form a team freely to the contestants, and the program team just provides a reference.

"Yes." Keira nodded, and Weisui said provocatively, "The play list is at the back, shall we choose the song first?"

Due to copyright considerations, the singing repertoire of the contestants is not unlimited, and the program group specially marked this point.

"Let me take a look first." Yili smiled noncommittally, looked down at the itinerary carefully, knew the approximate itinerary in her heart, and jotted down the time and place of the particularly important events. With a slightly impatient gaze, he turned to the playlist at the back.

There are three people in a team, and one teammate is eager to make a decision before seeing him. This is not an approach that is considered for the team.On the contrary, Keira should have a choice in her heart. Her purpose at this moment is to urge Yili to follow her choice, and use the method of the minority to obey the majority, so that the third person has to compromise with her.

For Keira, she may have made a wise decision, or a decision that is beneficial to herself-song selection is really too important, and those who have the power to choose songs can choose the style they are best at tune.For example, if a person chooses a slow-tempo love song that he is good at, but other people are good at rap, then this song is only beneficial to the former, or a person is good at the high-pitched part, so he chooses a song with a higher key. It's also not fair to players who are good at mid-bass.

It’s not that Yili cares so much about another teammate she’s never met, nor is she pursuing complete fairness and justice, but from her standpoint, apart from not being very good at rap and hip-hop, she can sing country pop, and she’s confident enough to pass Selection of judges.

To some extent, the standards of the judges may not be as high as those of the audience. The judges pay more attention to the singing skills of the contestants. The singing skills of 85 and 90 points are clear to the judges, but the audience is more likely to be attracted by the appearance of the contestants and the appearance of the contestants. Of course, they can hear the difference between 60 points and 90 points for the subjective likes and dislikes of song selection, but 85 points and 90 points may be difficult for others.

This is not to say that the standard of the audience is not high, but that the audience are not professional musicians after all. Their strength lies in their own work. In this regard, of course, the judges are not as good as them.But correspondingly, except for a few who are naturally musical or have some understanding of music, most audiences may be able to hear how well the players handle the details after listening to it several times, but they may not be so good after only one pass. Sensitive, at this time, the contestant who has an outstanding appearance and chooses a song that appeals to the audience will have an advantage.

From Yili's point of view, she can ensure her own performance. On this basis, she certainly hopes that the other two teammates can also perform well.Some people may think that other people's performance is irrelevant. This is a singing competition, not a competition to select a leader.

However, on the other hand, the better other people perform, the better you perform, isn't your own strength more likely to be affirmed?Whether to be a tall man among a dwarf, or a giant among a tall man, that is the question.

To give a simple example, among Oscar queens, are the queens of the big year or the queens of the young years more convincing?The former stood out from opponents with the same superb acting skills and excellent performance, but the latter just defeated the players with the same average performance. Even if they were lucky enough to win, all kinds of ridicule would follow. of?

A wise winner will sing praises to his opponent, not only to show his generosity, but also to make his victory worth thousands of dollars and elevate himself in disguise.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that you have enough confidence in your own strength. If you are not strong enough, then just pass the test honestly. A lucky victory is also a victory, which is better than losing, right?

From Yili's standpoint, she has confidence in her performance, and she is confident that she will not be overwhelmed by other people's performance, so of course she hopes that her teammates can perform well.To put it more darkly, if Kayla chooses a song that she is good at but another person is not good at, for Yili, it is to use the poor performance of the other person to contrast the excellence of both of them; For the song that all three of them are good at, then, use two teammates to set off their own strength.

Emotionally and rationally, Yili will not cooperate with Keira's plan at this time.

Thinking a little further, once a song is selected, the three of them will also discuss each individual's lyrics.The distribution of lyrics is more important than the choice of songs. In a song, there must be more difficult parts and easier parts. The former has more room for development, while the latter has very limited space for expression.

Just like a math test paper, even if the primary school test paper scored [-] points, but the other person scored [-] points in the advanced mathematics test paper, is the former's [-] points more valuable?The answer is obviously no, and the latter results are more convincing.

Of course, in the same song, the difficulty gap may not be very different, but there are indeed differences.

During the audition, Yili sang the inconspicuous opening part, and she sang it well enough, while the contestants who sang Gao Chao had limited strength and did not perform well, so Yili became the only one who passed.

But now it was no longer the audition. The hundreds of contestants who came to the hotel were selected from tens of thousands of contestants from all over the country, and even foreign contestants.

Yili has confidence in her own performance, but she will not be blindly confident-that is not self-confidence, but arrogance.Yili will face up to each of her opponents, treat them with the most serious attitude, and will never easily hand over the advantages to others.

Once she listened to Keira at this time, selected her ideal repertoire, let her have the right to speak, and invisibly overwhelmed herself, then when it came time to distribute the lyrics, Keira would of course reserve the lyrics with the most room for development. To herself, leave it to Ellie and another contestant that she picks the rest of the lyrics.Maybe she wouldn't have made it so obvious, but it's definitely a predictable fact.

"How is it? Are you optimistic?" Keira asked anxiously from the side.

"I see it." Yili nodded, closed the playlist, and didn't go on talking as Keira wanted.

"Great, what do you think of us singing Whitney's song?" Kayla suggested in a friendly manner.

"Hmm..." Yili didn't agree. In the singer circle, the only person who could mention Whitney was Whitney Houston. Yili was assigned her song during the audition. From the heart, Yili I like Whitney's songs very much, and her songs have a lot of room for development, not the kind of saliva songs, but Yili didn't want to just agree to Keira, so she said tactfully, "I also like Whitney, But I'm not sure if another of our teammates will sing her songs, maybe he likes rock or rap? Even if we make a decision now, we'll have to discuss it later, won't we?"

Yili didn't want to reject Keira openly, that would only worsen the relationship between the two, but she also didn't want to let the other party control the situation, so she found an irrefutable reason to deny Keira's plan.

"So what if we discuss it first?" Keira frowned. "Let's decide first, and then just ask him if he would like it or not? I don't believe anyone can sing Whitney's songs." Whitney Ni's nationality is here, and he can't even sing Whitney's songs. What kind of singing competition is he participating in?Kayla dares to say that even rock singers have heard Whitney's songs!

Speaking of this, Keira added, "I think three-person discussions are definitely not as effective as two-person discussions. We shouldn't spend time arguing over songs, we should spend time practicing, right?"

"..." The other party is also one of the three members of the team, is it really okay to weaken the other party's right to speak like this?If Eli was the kind of girl who was not strong enough or a little weak, it would probably be time to compromise with the slightly tough Kayla, but Yili was not, so she said gently but firmly, "I still think we should talk to Joan." Nurse discuss, is he our teammate? We are a team, he should not be excluded. If we decide directly, maybe he will feel that he is not respected enough. I think he should not object Pick a Whitney song. Well, how about we just go and pay him a visit? He's right next door to us, it's a simple thing, let's not complicate it."

"But..." Keira was obviously dissatisfied with Yili's answer, but what Yili said was fine. If someone in the team made a decision without authorization, the others would of course be unhappy, and they would be upset outright. , there is nothing wrong with it.Therefore, Kayla could only acquiesce in Yili's actions, but she was upset at the other party's ignorance - she was given a chance to choose, but she didn't know the good and the bad, and pushed the opportunity out, it was so stupid!

"Wait, maybe he hasn't arrived yet, so what?" Kayla suddenly thought, which is entirely possible.

"That's okay, just treat it as a visit to the contestant next door." Yili smiled, "Anyway, it's so close, it's not bad to go to say hello, isn't it?"

"..." What else could she say? !The good things were all said by the other party, and she really had a problem with that player. Of course, Keira would not be so stupid, but she was getting more and more unhappy.

"Let's go, or do you want to change?" Yili asked thoughtfully.

"No! Let's go!" Keira rolled her eyes in her heart and said with dissatisfaction.

"Okay." Yili smiled, as if she didn't understand the other party's attitude at all.
