Chapter 42: The Battle of the Fallen City (2)
At half past five in the afternoon, the draw results of the playing order were announced, and Ye Ying Ning drew the B7 of the alphanumeric combination, which means that among the 32 players tonight, she is just in the middle of the game.
In the semi-finals, four groups of ABCD players, each with 8 players, will take the stage in the second round, which is the most important part, and each will have 6 minutes of stage presentation time in a format of their own choice.
The seventh in the second group, Night Infant Ning's appearance number is neither good nor bad, and it can be considered both pros and cons when weighed.
On the plus side, she appears a little early, and the judges are not yet aesthetically fatigued and interested, while on the downside, because there are still half of the entries in the back, the judges may be deliberately reserved when grading her.
But no matter what, the matter has been decided, and there is no possibility of change, whether the players are happy or sad, they must accept it immediately and immediately devote themselves to the upcoming competition.
"Take it easy. ”
Night Baby Ning stared at Beatrice, who was standing in front of her, wearing a full set of "Hundred Years of Love" jewelry, and her partner beside her, and spoke softly. Then, she silently retreated backstage, quietly waiting for the next performance.
Soon, on the stage, the curtain slowly opened, and the familiar music melody sounded. Ye Ying Ning let out a long breath, closed her eyes, calmed down, and then began to slowly sketch the "hundred-year-old love" in her mind - ten miles of foreign fields, drunk and golden.
The bones of a beauty are only three, two, three, and no matter how beautiful the face is, it will wither like a flower and crush into mud. But only love lasts forever, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
The daughter in the door of the mansion, the humble gentleman of the gate valve family, the two fell in love at first sight and secretly promised their hearts.
Old dreams are haunted, and horses are treading rivers and mountains.
As the background tune turns sharply, the originally beautiful melody suddenly becomes passionate and urgent, with a strong drum beat and a clear rhythm.
Snuggling up to each other, the babbling lovers are forced to separate due to a sudden war.
The young master of the wealthy family dressed up and rode his horse to the battlefield, but he didn't want to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather.
The delicate woman standing against the door can no longer look forward to her lover, but she has long been determined that he will not marry in this life, and would rather be alone.
A hundred years later, she was buried in the ground, and the only thing that accompanied her for the rest of her life was a set of jewelry given by her sweetheart before leaving.
When I return, I will marry you. He said, she laughed.
But in a trance, in the blink of an eye, I didn't expect that the world had been a hundred years.
His eyebrows seemed to be vaguely still in front of him, and when she was dying, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, in this life, I met him and fell in love with him, and I spent all my luck.
The sound of the pipa, like crying and complaining, at the end, all the love and hatred are like smoke and dust, and they disappear like the wind.
As the last beam of chasing light on the stage dimmed, the 3D renderings of "Hundred Years of Love" gradually appeared on the big screen, and each piece of jewelry was so lifelike, exuding the unique oriental mystery of ancient China.
At the same time, Beatrice, who played the heroine, took the stage again, smiling and showing the jewelry she was wearing from multiple angles to the front-row judges sitting under the stage.
The lights of the audience were bright again, and the more than 100 guests present had not yet completely withdrawn from the sad and poignant love story just now, and they were stunned for a few seconds before they burst into thunderous applause.
Everyone was intoxicated by Fang Cai's moving performance, and many of the female guests were even looking down to carefully wipe them with tissues with their eyes wet.
"Night Director, really successful!"
Stephy clenched her fists nervously, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she exclaimed with excitement as she looked at Night Baby Ning, who was anxiously waiting for the result.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, all the contestants were not allowed to face the judges and the audience in the second round of the competition, that is, when appreciating and scoring, the judges did not know who the corresponding designer of the work was.
"Really, Stephy, are you sure?"
Night Baby Ning slammed up from the couch, she had been in the players' lounge, not very sure what was going on in front of her.
"It was confirmed that the judges are still scoring, and the scores will not be announced until the eight contestants in this group have finished presenting their works. Then before Group C begins, there is almost 20 minutes of performance time for the judges to take a break. ”
Stephy nodded, briefly described the performance of Fang Cai's stage play to Ye Ying Ning, and then informed her of the arrangements on the event flow chart.
After the two groups of A and B players completed the display of their works, nearly one-third of tonight's competition has passed, and the organizers specially invited several artists who are currently popular in China to sing here, which can not only set off the atmosphere of the scene, but also ease everyone's tense nerves.
The rumbling music sounded, the halftime performance soon began, the appearance of the stars, and the hard performance, immediately pushed the atmosphere of the audience to a small climax.
Before the start of the third round, Ye Ying Ning went to the makeshift dressing room backstage to touch up her makeup.
The contestants shared two rooms for makeup, which was spacious and didn't look too crowded. And most of the players have already packed up and returned to the lounge, so there are very few people here at the moment, only three or five.
Meticulously depicting the lipstick on her lips, Ye Ying Ning took two steps back, wanting to take a look at her whole body, but was startled by the figure of Pet Tiange that suddenly appeared in the mirror.
As soon as she turned around, she was shocked to find that the other people in the dressing room had disappeared without a trace, leaving only herself and the man standing behind her.
"What do you do?"
Ye Ying Ning frowned slightly, subconsciously put her hands around her chest, and took the initiative to ask Pet Tiange in an unkind tone.
He actually appeared at such a sensitive moment, one of the two was a judge and the other was a contestant, so she naturally felt worried.
"As soon as the jury finished scoring, there was a commotion in front of me, so I came out for a walk. ”
Compared to Ye Ying Ning's nervousness, the expression on Pet Tiange's face could be described as unwavering, he took a few steps forward, walked to Ye Ying Ning's side, took the golden lipstick from her hand, and played with it in his hand.
"As soon as the prelude sounded, I knew that B7 was you, and your style was difficult to imitate. ”
Looking at Ye Ying Ning, who was carefully coiling up her long hair in front of her, Pet Tiange sighed slightly, lowered her voice and said warmly: "I still prefer to see your long hair scattered." ”
She was startled, and shrank back to retreat, and was about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of a corner of crimson in the doorway.
If I remember correctly, in the afternoon, Ye Yingning saw Tang Miao from a distance in the small banquet hall, and she was wearing a long red dress.
To everyone's surprise, Tang Miao only brought an assistant to participate in the competition today, no different from ordinary contestants, her sister Tang Yi did not show up, and went to the scene to personally cheer for her sister.
"I didn't expect you to recognize it at a glance. ”
Ye Ying Ning retracted her gaze and said lightly, in fact, there was still a trace of ripples in her heart. Pet Tiange knows almost nothing about jewelry design, and he is a man, so he is not interested in these things at all, and it is natural that he can recognize his own work, so it naturally takes a lot of effort.
The two chatted for a few words, and Pet Tiange glanced down at his watch, the time was almost there, and he was going back to the judges' seat.
"Be careful of Tang Miao. ”
Before leaving, he suddenly whispered a word.
Hearing this, Ye Ying Ning was stunned for a moment, and raised her head and said, "What did you say?"
Unexpectedly, Pet Tiange just glanced at her meaningfully, did not answer, and walked out of the dressing room with his feet raised.
