Chapter 140 Ugly Duckling Substitute vs. A Ruthless and Ruthless CEO (63)
finals.
The contestants didn't wear makeup or choose their own outfits. In the final competition, they all submitted their ideas to the production team, who then arranged what they could and left the rest to the contestants themselves.
what.
You asked what to do if neither of them works? Well, then just change your requirements.
The host looked at the energetic young ladies in the room and his smile widened. "Ladies, is anyone willing to go first? This is an individual competition, and the rules are the same as last time. Audience votes are very important, and you must get more votes than last time."
If this round of voting is worse than the last individual competition, the team will be eliminated.
Just a heads-up, only the top three in the finals will receive prizes; everyone else will be eliminated.
Even if you're fourth, I'm sorry, there's no one.
The atmosphere in the room became tense as the host spoke.
"Little Nightingale, aren't you going first?"
Seeing the little lark's adorable bottom stuck to the chair this time inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity.
As soon as a girl asked a question, everyone turned to look at her.
He Suining smiled calmly, "I can't always be the first one, can I?"
It seems so.
"Then, I'll go."
He Suining looked at her in surprise.
She wouldn't have been surprised by anyone else. But she hadn't expected it to be a diamond-level girl. She took a few deep breaths, her cheeks flushed, probably from nervousness.
The raised hand resembles that of a student answering a question in class.
Everyone laughed in a friendly manner.
The host quickly waved, "Okay, come here and press the button to enter the competition. The program team sent you the process privately, so you should be familiar with it."
The girl with the diamond in her eye nodded.
She got up, walked to the bottom of the big screen, pressed the button, and signed her name.
But people won't see her name.
The doors to the competition tunnel then opened.
The girl with the diamond-studded shirt patted her nervous chest and went inside.
At this moment, everyone saw the surveillance footage appear on the screen.
The image above shows the girl with the diamond-like figure entering the passage and then, following a prompt, entering a room.
The room was filled with all sorts of beautiful and fashionable clothes.
"Wow."
The girl with the diamond ring opened her mouth in astonishment as soon as she entered.
The girls backstage exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, what a beautiful evening gown! It has sparkling stars on it. Who requested this?"
"I don't know, the production team really went all out, this evening gown looks incredibly expensive."
He Suining looked at Qiao Yue and Xia Luo.
It's most likely one of the two of them.
Diamond Girl rarely sees so many beautiful outfits up close—there are evening gowns, sexy ones, innocent ones, and even dance costumes. She also saw a light green strapless, voluminous long dress, which looked remarkably like the princess's outfit in those live-action fairy tales she watched as a child.
"Wow."
She even wanted to reach out and touch it, but just as she was about to touch it, she came to her senses and quickly withdrew her hand.
She walked up to the outfit she had prepared in advance.
Her photo was thoughtfully posted above.
She picked up the clothes and went into the changing room.
"She seems to be wearing an ancient-style costume. Is she planning to sing a song in the traditional Chinese style?"
"That's not bad. The recent shows have featured all sorts of styles, but it seems like there haven't been any traditional Chinese styles."
"It's a pity I didn't see any guzheng or anything. If Diamond knew any instrument, that would be a killer move."
Everyone was having a lively discussion in the backstage lobby.
Although they are competitors, there seems to be no struggle as He Suining imagined; on the contrary, the relationship is quite harmonious.
She nodded to herself.
Actually, listen up: viewers who like drama and production teams that want high ratings might not be too happy about this.
But avoiding conflict is the best approach.
Beautiful women should stick close to other beautiful women.
The girl with the diamond-like figure took a while to change her clothes, then went out and quickly headed to the dressing room. Inside, there was an entire team dedicated to serving her, and they worked incredibly fast.
It didn't take much time.
She walked out of the dressing room, ready to go on stage.
The melodious ancient Chinese music began to play.
The diamond-studded girl slowly walked onto the stage, a microphone clipped to her ear.
Her clothes were pink, made of a material that resembled gauze, revealing glimpses of her skin underneath.
She gracefully struck a pose.
She danced gracefully in the middle of the stage.
Accompanied by ancient music, her voice slowly drifted from the center of the stage.
This is a very sad song.
It signifies separation from a lover.
The girl, alone at home, perhaps unable to relieve her sorrow, chose to dance.
At her request, the production team also made snowflakes fall from the sky when the song reached its climax.
She spun rapidly through the snowflakes.
Her skirt fluttered in the wind, her head was tilted back, and her eyes were closed.
Welcoming the falling snowflakes.
"I didn't expect her to be able to dance. Why didn't she dance before?" Lin Wenjue clapped his hands in admiration. He had always liked the diamond girl's voice.
Light and translucent.
Like snowflakes in winter.
Hong Yini has never been a big fan of trendy things, but she has a strong preference for ancient and retro styles, so she always watched the singing and dancing on stage with a smile.
He nodded in appreciation from time to time.
It wasn't until Lin Wenjue asked her that she smiled and said, "If she had performed before, there would have been no surprise. Little Nightingale is in for a lot of trouble now, if she doesn't have anything particularly outstanding."
Qi Su's eyes flickered slightly. "That's not necessarily true."
"It seems that Teacher Qi prefers Little Nightingale."
Faced with Lin Wenjue's mischievous attempt to dig a hole, Qi Su moved his lips.
He's a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry.
He could easily avoid this kind of question or choose an answer that wouldn't go wrong.
But he thought about it.
Even knowing that the cameras were deliberately zooming in to capture their conversation, he still spoke up, "I really like Little Nightingale. Whether she gets first place this time or not, she'll always be number one in my heart. However, I believe she will be number one."
Qi Su stared at the camera, completely unconcerned about his answer. He didn't care how much turmoil it would cause in the fandom if it wasn't cut from the broadcast.
That's what he wanted to say.
Lin Wenjue was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Qi Su had such a keen intuition, making him feel like he was the bad guy. He awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.
The Diamond Girl's performance has ended.
Applause erupted from the audience.
The voting began, as arranged by the host.
There were 500 audience members present, and the total score was 500 votes.
Diamond-level girls can speak up and campaign for votes.
She gripped the microphone the host handed her, her hands trembling. After a long, nervous silence, she could only bow and say, "Thank you everyone for your support..."
The host smiled and helped to smooth things over, saying, "It seems our little diamond girl is too shy, haha. This won't do. There will definitely be many more stages like this in the future, so you'll have to get used to it."
The score on the screen keeps spinning.
This wasn't the first time such a scene had occurred, but facing it again still made everyone present nervous.
Because these are not just cold numbers; behind them may lie a dream, a broken family, or something else entirely.
finally.
The score remained at 447.
"Wow!" Lin Wenjue was the first to applaud.
There's no doubt that this score is already very high.
Of the 500 people present, only a few dozen disliked her singing and dancing.
"thank you all."
This score clearly exceeded the ideal score in the mind of the diamond girl. She bowed again with great gratitude, and tears fell uncontrollably.
After realizing that he had lost his composure.
The diamond-studded girl wiped away her tears and began to accept the judges' evaluations.
As usual, Qi Su offered sharp criticism in a gentle tone, pointing out her shortcomings.
Hong Yini, however, was different from usual. She really liked the song and dance and praised her a few more times, which finally brought a smile to her face.
Lin Wenjue pointed out her strengths.
Although Diamond Girl is always shy, she is very good at adapting to her environment.
Whether it's her singing and dancing in the third round of the competition or her current song and dance performances, she is constantly changing; she is not static.
This made Lin Wenjue feel that her future was promising.
Feeling greatly encouraged, the girl thanked the judges and turned to leave.
Next game.
Some were relatively good, while others were laughable.
Even though it was the finals, some girls still performed poorly, perhaps because they were too nervous or something.
The rest of the performances were mediocre.
Qi Su was surprised that Little Nightingale had not yet played.
After the Diamond Girl award, the highest score has hovered around 300, and no one has scored above 400.
The worst one is over two hundred.
He Suining saw the girl hiding in a corner crying, and she shook her head and sighed.
Why aren't you going up yet?
Qiao Yue and Xia Luo both went up, but their scores didn't exceed 400. However, they originally came with Zhong Yiqiao.
I don't really care about winning or losing this game.
"I plan to go last."
He Suining smiled slightly.
She's not nagging; this is because it involves an original storyline.
If you remember correctly.
The original owner was first exposed during the Angel Music finals. At that time, the sudden revelation of gossip about Zhong Yiqiao and the original owner caused Zhong Yiqiao's popularity to surge again.
When I saw this plot...
He Suining wondered if the so-called scandals about the original owner were orchestrated by Zhong Yiqiao herself.
If so.
Then she can't go on stage too early, because it's very likely that Zhong Yiqiao will expose her dirty secrets as soon as she goes on stage.
At that point, online public opinion will be uncontrollable.
This will affect the performance of [Angel Music].
He Suining would rather not have this.
She propped her chin on her hand and looked at Qiao Yue, who was smiling foolishly at her. She couldn't help but laugh out loud. After being stunned for a moment, Qiao Yue blushed for some reason and ran away, leaving her completely confused.
To her, everyone here is an NPC, or to put it bluntly, just data.
But sometimes, things can affect them.
She should change it if she can.
The final match lasted a very long time.
That's how competitions are; what the audience sees is mostly post-production editing, and the actual competition is often quite boring.
"Little Nightingale, you are the last one."
He Suining nodded, signed her name, and pressed the button according to the procedure.
Qiao Yue clenched her fist at her and said, "Go for it!"
She waved and then entered the passageway.
Since she was the last one, and everyone else had finished their competitions and the results were in, all eyes were now on her.
He Suining went to the room where the clothes were kept.
There was only one mannequin left inside, wearing a pure green, princess-style, fluffy long dress.
“I knew this was Little Nightingale’s; it suits her perfectly.”
"What? You're just being wise after the event."
"Stop arguing, are you dressed like that to sing a ballad?"
"I guess so. They wouldn't dress up like that to sing and dance, would they?"
"Ah—so Little Nightingale lost. Diamond, who's currently in first place, danced, and the third-place player rearranged his own song. If Little Nightingale were just standing and singing, she wouldn't stand out much."
"Not necessarily, maybe she just sings really well."
Everyone was having a heated discussion backstage. Anyway, the results were out, and the first place would either be Little Nightingale or Diamond.
But now it seems to be a 50/50 split.
at this time.
Someone noticed the piano that had been moved onto the stage at some point. It was very beautiful; the transparent piano, illuminated by the lights, looked like clear crystal, sparkling and translucent.
Even the black and white piano keys seemed to have become different.
"Does this piano belong to Little Nightingale?"
"No way... It looks really expensive. Could it be that Little Nightingale is also a rich girl like Zhong Yiqiao?"
The discussion was even more heated than before.
Qiao Yue frowned beside Xia Luo and whispered, "Luo Luo, don't you think this piano looks a little familiar?"
Xia Luo recognized it at a glance. "Yes, it's a limited edition piano. If I remember correctly, there are only three in China, and one of them was bought by Qi Su."
"..."
Could it be that Qin Shen, that great devil, bought it for He Suining?
Only Qiao Yue knows that Xiao Bailing is He Suining.
She didn't tell anyone.
Xia Luo thought that Qiao Yue's inexplicable sigh made her look at him with a puzzled expression.
Qiao Yue was just thinking—it turns out that Xiao Bailing and Qin Shen really have a good relationship.
She had been thinking that the two of them might get divorced.
Now it seems that's not necessarily true.
on the stage.
He Suining, holding up her fluffy dress and wearing crystal high heels, slowly walked up the steps and arrived at the center of the stage.
A beam of light shone perfectly on the piano bench.
She covered her snow-white chest with one hand, bowed deeply, and then slowly sat down on the piano bench.
Girl and piano.
The beautiful notes are like the ocean, sometimes with rolling waves, and sometimes with gentle and soothing sounds.
Qi Su stared intently at Xiao Bailing as she came on stage.
Until her slender white fingertips touched the piano keys, playing beautiful notes that reached their ears.
Hong Yini frowned. "This... seems to be something she created herself."
"Another original song?" Lin Wenjue was shocked. "It seems that Little Nightingale's musical talent is above ours. We're getting old. The future belongs to these young people."
Qi Su remained silent.
His dark eyes, filled with a sense of shock, stared in astonishment at the little lark on the stage.
This song is amazing.
There aren't many lyrics; it's mostly humming, but the technical skill is heavily emphasized.
