Chapter 15: The Big Stage

Three days before the start of the broadcast of The Voice of China, that is, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Zhao Yongqi arrived at the backstage area of the ZJ TV studio on time. Soon he was brought into a room that doubled as a lounge and powder room.

None of the contestants who participate in The Voice now are big stars, and naturally it is impossible to have their own lounge. Since the show will be recorded once a day, only the contestants ranked 1-16 in the primary selection are here today.

There are many handsome men and beautiful women among the contestants, but when Zhao Yongqi stepped into it, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Today, Zhao Yongqi is wearing a black casual suit, except for a gold thread that extends from the shoulder to the end of the sleeve on his hands, the whole suit has no decoration. Inside, he wore a white striped shirt, which of course was provided by the TV station, and he didn't have such clothes himself. Although it looks a little retro, wearing it on him has a completely different charm. In particular, the stylist asked him not to button the casual suit, and the inner shirt was unbuttoned on the top three, revealing a large area of skin under the neck, with his sunny and handsome face, tall and straight body, enough to cause a great visual impact.

"Hello, can I sit here?" After Zhao Yongqi entered the room, he found that everyone was staring at him in a daze, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, and asked the nearest makeup artist in a shy whisper.

"Please...... Please sit here first. The makeup artist exclusive to Zhao Yongqi, a young woman who looked no more than twenty years old, was a little red and trembling when she spoke after staring at him for a long time.

As a staff member of the TV station, I have seen countless handsome men and beautiful women, but I don't know why, when I saw Zhao Yongqi, I still couldn't help but have heart palpitations.

"Thank you. After responding politely, Zhao Yongqi sat down generously. And the female makeup artist standing behind him also took a deep breath and immediately walked to his side.

After carefully staring at Zhao Yongqi's handsome face for a long time, the female makeup artist raised her somewhat hot jade hand, gently touched his short hair, and couldn't help but stroke his face, then her cheeks were slightly rosy and said: "Your hair quality is very good, in my opinion, you don't need to do any styling, you still look more handsome like this soft and natural." And your skin is already very white and delicate, I think you just need to put on some foundation and shadow, and you're good to go. I don't know what you think?"

"Well, that's what I thought too. Zhao Yongqi touched the bridge of his nose and said shyly: "To be honest, it's the first time I've put on makeup when I'm so big, I'm really not used to it, and it's best if it's simpler." ”

"Hee-hee, I see. Finding that Zhao Yongqi looked like a cute big boy, the female makeup artist couldn't help but chuckle, and several female students and makeup artists on the other side who secretly looked at him also chuckled again and again, making Zhao Yongqi's face suddenly a little ruddy.

"Don't worry, even if you go out now, you'll be the most handsome guy I've ever seen. Feeling that Zhao Yongqi was very easy to speak, the makeup artist obviously let go of the previous caution, and talked as easily as the boy next door.

This natural way of communication is exactly what Zhao Yongqi expected. To be honest, he has never seen this kind of "big scene", and he is not good at dealing with women, and he has been very nervous since he walked in here today, until now he has a pleasant exchange with the female makeup artist chatting, which suddenly reduced his nervousness a lot.

In the midst of talking and laughing, an hour passed quickly. Everyone ate the lunch box provided by the program team, and at 12 noon, the recording of the first episode of the Voice of China officially began.

The huge studio was filled with more than 1,000 spectators, and there was a small guest area in the front row. The girl who was once rescued by Zhao Yongqi was sitting in it, waiting for the show to start with some expectations.

When the time came, with Director Wang's order, dozens of cameras were started at the same time. In a burst of cheerful music, Hua Shao, dressed in a white suit, strode onto the stage in the dry ice mist.

"Hello everyone, welcome to watch the large-scale folk talent show launched by ZJ Satellite TV, the voice of the whole people in China, I am Hua Shao. ”

After a burst of cheers, Hua Shao quickly read the names of the sponsors at a non-human speed, and then said to the audience with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to introduce myself more, after all, such an opportunity is rare, but seeing Mr. Liu Huan's face, I think it would be better for me to step down early, otherwise I may be beaten up." ”

Accompanied by the laughter of the audience, Hua Shao spent some more time, and after introducing the four mentors Liu Huan, Na Ying, Haring, and Yang Kun to the audience, he officially began the stage of the contestants' singing.

Each contestant will play a VCR on stage, and then sing, if there is a mentor with his back to the contestant to turn the chair, then there is a chance to stay, if not, will naturally be eliminated. Regardless of the outcome, the contestants will also be given a chance to introduce themselves. Therefore, it takes more than ten minutes for each player to go on stage, plus the midfield also needs to give the audience and mentors time to rest, so when it was Zhao Yongqi's turn, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon.

When the fifteenth contestant left the stage gloomily, Hua Shao walked on the stage again, this time he did not introduce the contestants quickly: "I believe everyone has watched the overwhelming promotional short films of ZJ Satellite TV before the show started." Under that romantic starry sky, the prince who sings affectionately, whether he is tall or short, fat or thin, I believe everyone must be looking forward to it, right?"

By the time he said this, there was already a burst of cheers and screams from the audience.

The interrupted Hua Shao could only raise his voice, and said with a wry smile: "Although I know that you want to drive me down, but that will make me lose my job, so please bear with me a little longer, please play VCR first." ”

"The gentle starry sky should move you ......" The familiar melody sounded here, and in the VCR played on the big screen, it was no longer a blurry figure, but a close-up side face of only Zhao Yongqi was intercepted.

"Wow......"

"So handsome!"

Bursts of little girls' screams suddenly rang out from all directions. And among all the people present, the most surprising one was the girl in the VIP area.

"Ah!?" couldn't help but exclaim, and hurriedly covered her mouth, the girl never thought that her favorite singer of the song would be the big boy who rescued her from the tiger's mouth that day.

"Please, the prince of love songs for all of us, Zhao Yongqi!" Hua Shao's voice fell, the fragment of the VCR was interrupted, and Zhao Yongqi's name was played on the big screen, but the music of the meteor shower did not stop.

Zhao Yongqi walked out of the backstage steadily, walked on the big stage for the first time, held a microphone in his hand, opened his mouth and continued to sing the climax with the music: "...... Accompany you to watch the meteor shower fall on this earth, and let your tears fall on my shoulder......"
