In "Operastar", each singer only sings excerpts for a few minutes or so, so although there are still as many as six singers participating in this issue, the actual recording time is not long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Coupled with the host's remarks and the comments of the guest judges, it was just over half an hour.

Of course, as a competition program, there must be more than that. For example, the pre-competition preparation of each singer, the predictions and blessings of the singer's deceased artists before the competition, and the off-site interviews with ordinary audiences...... And so on until each episode is 100 minutes long.

Because of the unsatisfactory results in the first phase, Sunday is currently ranked fifth out of six contestants, only ahead of Kim Changyeol, who was unable to participate in the recording last week due to scheduling conflicts.

The song prepared for this issue of Sunday is an excerpt from Shakespeare's classic play A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Liu Kewei has never studied musicals, and he thinks it's pretty good, but if he really wants to talk about where he sings well or where he doesn't sing well, he can't say.

Generally speaking, this kind of music program with the nature of competition, the participants are not too big - on the one hand, the big-name singers have a full schedule, no worries about income, and do not look at the performance fee and prize money, on the other hand, they tend to cherish their feathers, in case of losing to others, there is always no glory.

Those who will participate in this kind of show are often newcomers who have just debuted, or "old" singers who have gradually faded out of the first line, and occasionally one or two are in their prime, and they are basically second- and third-tier artists.

And these participating singers are likely to have some special projects to promote in the near future.

For example, Sunday has the purpose of promoting D&S in the second half of the year, and for example, the solo singer Tei, who is currently in the first place, has just formed HandsomePeople with two other artists not long ago - after all, in South Korea, solo singers are difficult to mix, and groups or bands are the mainstream of the audience.

However, even Liu Kewei is a complete layman when it comes to musicals. He could feel that Sunday's performance should still be slightly inferior to that of JK Kim Dong-wook, Moon Hee-ok, Winning Alternate (second-place) Ren Jingxi and TEI.

It was evident from the reaction of the audience.

At the same time, Liu Kewei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, don't look at the Republic of Korea as just a small projectile land, but the number of musicians is really average. I didn't know any of the six contestants except Sunday. But no matter which contestant's performance, the audience can basically listen to it very comfortably and intoxicating......

Naturally, he also has a more intuitive understanding of the fierce competition in the Korean entertainment industry.

Because of the final result of the game. It is decided based on the data of audience voting. Therefore, after all six contestants finished performing, the results were not directly announced, and the two MCs announced that the performance was over.

In order to cooperate with the scandal hyped by Lotte Group, Liu Kewei sent Sunny and Yuna to the young nanny car parked outside the art center, and then said goodbye to the two politely.

Seeing the nanny car start up and slowly drive out of sight, he walked towards his Hyundai sedan.

He didn't take a few steps before he was stopped.

"Excuse me, are you Liu Keweixi?"

Liu Kewei glanced sideways in the direction where the voice came from. An unfamiliar adult man in his forties was striding from behind the side.

He didn't remember seeing this person, so he asked suspiciously, "May I ask who you are?"

The man pulled out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Lotte Co., Ltd., Public Relations Division. Atsushi Kawakami......

Why is it a Japanese again? Doesn't Lotte Group use Korean employees?

The font format and pattern on the business card are slightly different from that of Yamashita Assistant, but Liu Kewei did not look closely and did not think much about why the business card was printed not in Korean but in Chinese (in fact, Chinese characters in Japanese).

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

He frowned covertly. Playing with the car keys that he already held in his hand, he asked patiently.

The OperaStar contest was held in the afternoon, and it was close to the end of the evening. Liu Kewei's stomach was already hungry, and he was about to hurry back to the tea house to eat something and make a cushion.

The last time the captain turned his head to look around, because the performance had just ended, there were people coming and going near the parking lot at the moment, and it was very lively.

"It doesn't seem convenient to talk here. Liu Keweixi, if you don't mind, how about I invite you to go and have a cup of coffee nearby?" asked Kawa asked with a long smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to get some food right now, so you can ask the assistant to tell me on the phone. Liu Kewei refused without thinking.

"Yamashita assistant, which Yamashita assistant?" asked Kawakami in confusion.

Didn't Yamashita ask you to come to me? strange...... I don't know the second person in the Rakuten Group other than him.

Wait a minute!

Liu Kewei suddenly remembered something, and with a thrill, he took out the business card he had just put away and looked at it seriously.

That's right, "Lotte Co., Ltd." is followed by a parenthetical bracket in smaller font with the word "Japan" written in smaller font.

I'm rubbing, this person who turned out to be not Korean Rakuten, but Japanese Rakuten?

Hey, forget about South Korea's Rakuten, what else can Japan Lotte have to do with me?

Liu Kewei was stunned all of a sudden.

Three days ago, when Liu Kewei was bowling with Kim Yeon-pyeong, Kim so Yong, and Yamashita Assistant, an angry scolding erupted in a large office in an office building in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, more than 1,000 kilometers away.

"死ね (pronounced 'system', 'to die')!"

Hiroyuki Shigemitsu, vice president of Rakuten Japan, the son of the Xin family named Shin proprietor in Korean, angrily slammed a stack of documents on the desk in front of him.

"I need an explanation! Why is the topic of Lotte World's poor security declining? Didn't I ask you to go to a professional team to push behind the scenes? Didn't you take extra money from the company?"

Shigemitsu Hiroshi asked several disgraced subordinates standing in front of him.

He looks more like his father Xin Gehao, while Xin Dongbin is more like his mother Chongguang Chuzi, so the two brothers are not similar in appearance, and Chongguang Hiroyuki looks more than ten years older - in fact, they are only a year old.

On the day of the "Taeyeon kidnapping incident", this news was on the front page of the entertainment network media of China, Japan and South Korea.

Although Rakuten Japan, which is in charge of Shigemitsu Hiroyuki, is the first few companies founded by Singhao, it is like Xiuying's legs, although they are the longest in the team when they are young, they may not be able to run the fastest. The company was founded early and did not necessarily develop the best, and Rakuten Japan is far from Rakuten in terms of scale, performance and influence compared to Rakuten Korea.

Although there is not much difference in the amount of shares given to the two sons by Singhao when converted into currency, in terms of personal status, power and fame, the eldest son Shigemitsu Hiroshi in Japan is inferior to the second son Shin Dongbin in South Korea.

As the eldest son who has always prided himself as the "first heir of the group" as a matter of course, how could Shigemitsu Hiroyuki accept this fact calmly?

Fortunately, his younger brother is relatively stupid, and he only has business management in his eyes, and he doesn't understand the world at all, so he rashly offended many people in the family.

In addition, after his father got older, his ears gradually became much softer than before, as long as he united the elders he paid more attention to. often counts his younger brother in front of him, and over time, I believe that my father will be able to completely alienate that guy.

Therefore, Chongguanghong has always paid attention to the latest trends of South Korea's Lotte, and specially found someone to collect a lot of "black materials" about Xin Dongbin's business or investment failure.

As soon as this "music festival accident" was exposed, Shigemitsu Hiroyuki keenly felt that this could also become a sharp sword that stabbed Xin Dongbin. Therefore, he asked his subordinates to find someone to help behind the scenes as soon as possible, and it was necessary to set off a wave of public opinion in South Korea to denounce the security problems of Lotte World.

However, the results disappointed him.

"That's right, Your Excellency. Because the person who rescued the kidnapped female idol at the music festival happened to have an affair with another female idol who was present at the time, so the public's attention was easily diverted......"

One of the subordinates plucked up his courage and made a few remarks of defense.

"Coincidentally? Where in the world are there so many coincidences. When it was necessary to divert the public's attention, a scandal broke out? This must have been done by that kid Akio!"

Shigemitsu Hiroyuki interrupted the other party's words impatiently, and as for the "Akio" in his mouth, it was Xin Dongbin's Japanese name.

"Your Excellency is right. This scenario is indeed very likely. ”

Another subordinate hurriedly chimed in.

"But even if we know that this is the case, we can't do anything about it! The scandal of the members of the popular girl group is originally one of the most likely types of topics to arouse public discussion. There's really not much anyone cares about security breaches, right?"

The subordinate before retorted to his colleague unconvinced.

"There are no ways to say that there are no ways at all, such as finding this entertainment company and asking them to take the initiative to clarify the scandal, or finding the rescuer and letting him disclose the 'truth' behind the scenes...... Both of these aspects can turn the public's attention back to the security vulnerabilities in Lotte World. Of course, both of these practices may require some extra 'effort'. ”

A third subordinate also interjected to express his suggestion.

Everyone in the room knows that his so-called "hard work" is actually just a tactful statement such as the exchange of interests.

Shigemitsu rubbed his temples irritably, muttered for a few seconds, and nodded.

"Then give it a try, and ask the Public Relations Department to immediately send a person who can speak Korean to Seoul and ask Uncle Seonho for help, and try to contact the entertainment company and the rescuer. ”

The "Uncle Seonho" he said is Xin Shanhao, the third brother of Xin Gehao, who is second only to Xin Dongbin and Xin Gehao in South Korea's Lotte, and is the third person under these two fathers and sons.

However, just like the other vice president of Japan Lotte, Takashi Tsuki, whose position is inclined to Xin Dongbin, the third big man in South Korean Lotte, is relatively closer to Shigemitsu Hiroyuki. (To be continued.) )
