Chapter 14: The Final
There are two people popular in this qualifier, one is Lu Qi, her bizarre life experience and a good voice make people curious about her, Cinderella's story has endured, and she has added such a halo to her body, it can be said that even if there is an opponent with her strength now, it is difficult to overshadow her limelight, and judging from the first day of the game, such a person has not yet appeared. Xiaohui's analysis is also right, there is indeed a team behind her who is working for her, in just one day, all major newspapers have interviewed or reprinted Lu Qi, she has been shaped into a strong girl from a humble background but always optimistic, Lu Weimin's appearance has added a spoonful of hot oil to this ordinary story, Lu Qi's experience before he was classified into a wealthy family was written about it, but where she was last winter was revealed in a secret, but the surname is very clear: a poor girl with a good voice, Selling songs everywhere to support herself - who else could Little Red Riding Hood be if she wasn't her?
The other is naturally Xiao Green, in addition to the protagonist, the stage also needs a clown, a mediocre appearance, a girl who sings thunder, but with shit luck all the way to the top 32, which is largely in line with the current spirit of entertainment, people, sometimes just need to be thundered to have the strength to move forward, so now the most popular host is not a handsome guy or a beautiful girl, either full of local words or crooked melons and cracked dates, experts say that this is a manifestation of the progress of people's living standards - in the past, they needed to look more beautiful than themselves, tall to enjoy the body and mind, but now they are very tall, so they want to see that they are not as good as themselves, and I don't know if this shows whether people are tolerant or mean now.
In short, Xiao Lu received no worse attention than Lu Qi, and a considerable number of newspapers also found Xiao Lu, of course, most of them were found by Wei Jin.
On the way back that day, the soprano said to Xiao Lu: "You still have a vision, if you sing as I say, you may have been eliminated." ”……
Two days later, the 32-in-16 competition was in full swing, and the judges this time were all famous singers, musicians and actors in the country.
Outside the arena, Wei Jin solemnly instructed Xiao Lu: "Sing like you did on the field, the more thunder, the better, at least they need you before 8 into 4!" ”
Xiao Lu was as cold and glamorous as ever, and said timidly as always: "Oh, I know." She stared blankly at Wushuang and said, "Do you really like Little Red Riding Hood?" ”
Wushuang smiled and touched her head and said, "Don't think nonsense, play well." ”
Midori lowered her head and said, "Oh, I see. ”
In the background, Lu Qi and Xiao Lu have undoubtedly become the most eye-catching people, the other players look at them differently, but Lu Qi is envious and jealous, and Xiao Lu is sarcastic and disdainful, no matter what, these two people have not finished the game and are already popular, if nothing else, they will be more popular than this championship, of course, if nothing else, Lu Qi will be the champion of this year.
This time, Lu Qi and Xiaolu were not in the same group, but they were both conducted in the morning. Lu Qi still adheres to the Indian style, but this time he appeared in a straw skirt, and Lu Weimin, who has great powers, didn't know where to help her really find a group of African tribal actors, a group of black people held spears, beat waist drums, and circled around the bonfire under the leadership of Lu Qi, Lu Qi's face was covered with oil paint, and he held a delicate little silver spear with bare legs, and the black people sang a sentence together: "Hey, hey, hey!" ”
The judges watched her show with a smile like a loving father watching a naughty daughter, and unanimously gave high scores, and the audience also applauded in unison, everyone saw that Lu Qi, who was there, was very relaxed, saying that the good thing was to enjoy the game, and the image was a little bit, she had already ignored the other contestants as mice under the cat's paws.
And when Xiao Lu came on the stage, the audience was also full of laughter, some people blew a sharp whistle, and some people shouted: "Go down-" The four of us sat in the audience like pins and needles, and the host rarely did not maintain order, and smiled: "It seems that everyone is ready?" ”
People laugh.
"Okay, let's welcome Dong Xiaolu to bring "See the Smoke Again"."
The applause was accompanied by more heckling.
Green still hugged the guitar in disgrace, started the music, and began to sing. Of course, the singing is as ugly as ever.
At the end of the song, when it was time to comment, the judges who were amiable just now were more poisonous than the other, and tried their best to be sarcastic, but when it came to scoring, they all gave ambiguous scores that were not high or low enough to advance......
The above scene is roughly what happened later.
Wei Jin's analysis is right, before 8 into 4, they need Xiao Green.
In the tense competition, everyone needs a concoction, whether it is the audience or the judges on the stage, and Xiao Lu's appearance fills this vacancy in a timely manner, so that such a girl who knows that she will not win the championship with her heels has repeatedly advanced without having any psychological burden and is not afraid of being accused of cheating, because everyone on the earth knows that she is just a plaything. In the future competitions, all the judges abided by a conventional rule, that is, after some ridicule, let Xiaolu advance. They dig out their hearts to find the most vicious and vivid words piled up on Xiao Lu to show their humor and humor, and the current judges are popular with the poisonous mouth style, which is also a major attraction of various competitions now, many judges who do not leave morality under their mouths take advantage of the competition limelight to overshadow the contestants, maybe they can enter people's eyes from the second and third lines that have been out of gas or have not been popular. But you're always bad at being poisonous, anyway, it's a fact that Xiao Lu's singing is ugly, so only if she doesn't have to hide it, Xiao Lu has become a touchstone for them to test their eloquence.
In 16 into 8, a particularly famous sketch actor who has never seen him act in any show said comically: "Little sister, don't worry, we won't let you go down, then we will lose at least 30% of the ratings." ”
In the 8-in-4 competition, a professional judge stood up solemnly: "In this arena, there is you and me!" But the mysterious thing is that when scoring, it was clear that he only needed to score a low score to knock Xiao Green out of the game, but he scored a perfect score.
Of course, this is not to say that the judge has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, but someone greeted him, and this person is not Wei Jin, but the director of the city's TV station, the judge of the next show, and other sponsoring advertisers except Wei Jin...... These people understand that the Little Red Riding Hood draft without Xiaolu is like the Spring Festival Gala without language programs, Lu Qi is difficult to support alone, her legend can only entertain herself, only Xiaolu can entertain the public, and many celebrity movie stars are willing to come to be judges just for Lu Qi and Xiaolu......
So in such a situation, no judge dares to take the lead in killing Xiao Lu, which is simply a big disapproval of the world.
In this way, Xiaolu actually made it all the way to the top 4, that is, the final!
On the day of the finals, the outside of the arena was crowded with people early, through such a long game, the other three of the 4 girls except Xiaolu already have their own fan groups, of course, the most powerful is Lu Qi's fans, they are the largest in number, and they are the huge banners they pulled up outside the arena, which is shockingly written: Let our Qi'er and her Little Red Riding Hood stay, everyone else get out!
The major media have also summarized and reviewed the competition, and have also speculated about the draft trip of the four players, and public opinion is one-sided to Lu Qi, which naturally evaluates the other three players, and the evaluation of Xiao Lu is "a dark horse that has been dyed." The implication is that she doesn't stand out because she's fast......
In view of the firestorm scene outside the arena, the organizers considered that Lu Qi and others entering the venue head-on might cause confusion, so it was temporarily decided that the four players would enter from the backstage in a low-key manner.
In the player's temporary lounge, Lu Qi sat at a table, his face makeup had been put on, but the rings on his nose and ears were still worn, and he was wearing a wide coat on his body, chewing gum and dangling a pair of feet.
We accompanied Xiao Lu in, and Lu Qi raised his chin at her and said, "Did you really break into the finals?" Without waiting for Xiao Lu to greet her, Lu Qi jumped in front of Wushuang and said, "Handsome coach, how about I take the championship and invite you to dinner?" But maybe not recently, I celebrate tonight, and tomorrow I'm going to have my own concert. She said with a big grin at the other two contestants, "You two should be a guest and sing a song, after all, they are on the same stage." ”
The two contestants hurriedly stood up and said, "That's great." ”
Lu Qi glanced at Xiao Ludao: "You can come if you want, are you coming?" ”
"But ......," said Midori timidly, "I'm Little Red Riding Old." ”
Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked up to the sky and said, "Why are you still so hard-mouthed?" Don't you know why you made it to the finals? ”
Lu Weimin said in a deep voice: "Xiaoqi, pay attention to politeness!" ”
Lu Qi glanced at his father, pointed at the little green chest with his fingers, and said emphatically: "What are you fighting with me?" ”
Xiaohui dragged Xiaolu behind her and said, "She didn't want to fight with you." ”
Lu Weimin looked at me apologetically, smiled helplessly, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Old Lu, work hard." ”
Lu Weimin glanced at his daughter lovingly, and sighed softly: "No way, I owe her too much, I must do my best to help her get what she wants!" ”
At this time, the staff walked in and said, "The game will start immediately, the players should prepare, and the family and friend group will also be invited to the audience to take a seat." ”
Wei Jin, who was belated, pulled Xiao Lu aside and instructed: "Remember, no matter what the judges say about you after the stage competition, you will be sure that you are Little Red Riding Hood, and we can't fight for strength, but if you come all the way, maybe there will be another miracle!" Wei Jin looked at his watch and said, "I have to go to the VIP seat first." After entrusting all this, she looked at Wushuang for the last time, and Wushuang smiled consciously and said, "I wish you success." ”
"I should wish us success!" Wei Jin said in an accentuated tone.
……
The staff urged again, and we walked into the audience and sat down, and there was already a lot of jubilation here, people were holding all kinds of plastic sticks, DV machines, whistles, and throat lozenges, ready to witness and record this historical moment, and many people quietly discussed: "How many appearances does Dong Xiaolu make today?" ”
At this time, the exciting music started, the stage was sprayed, Taiwan's famous host Zong Xian and his female partner A Duck flew on the stage with the music, and the two sarcastically mocked each other for a while as usual before they began to introduce the judges, unlike the last few times, today's judges are all real stars. In the first few times the judges introduced, they always had to add a bunch of titles, and then add something famous, superstar, international or something, to create an atmosphere that you must have seen this person - but in fact, you have not seen much of it, but today's judges introduced it by one name, without any superfluous introduction, which means that this person can die if you have never seen it again.
Today's judges include: famous entrepreneurs who sang two red songs during the reform and opening up, movie stars who have acted in several TV series, and singers who have talked about cross talk all their lives and finally acted in sketches and became popular......
Zong Xian exaggerated in his authentic Taiwanese accent: "Wow, today is really full of friends." ”
Ah Ya chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Zong Xian said: "But today, there will be a person's light that will overshadow everyone here, do you know who this person is?" ”
Ah Ya asked knowingly, "Who is it?" ”
Zong Xian shouted hysterically: "That's today's champion - Little Red Riding Hood, and here are the four players who are invited to enter the finals!" ”
In the frantic applause of the audience, Lu Qi led the three people behind him to the stage in high spirits, and Zong Xian handed the microphone over and said, "Please say your acceptance speech." ”
Lu Qi said unceremoniously: "I ......"
Ah Ya punched Zong Xian and said, "It's not better yet, right?" ”
The audience laughed and applauded their wonderful coordination and hilariousness.
Zong Xian snatched the microphone in Lu Qi's hand and said, "What are you, I'll talk to you in a while!" Lu Qi glared at him, if it weren't for the fact that he was on stage, he probably would have started directly, Zong Xian stuffed the microphone into Xiao Lu's hand and said, "Sing a song for all of us, right?" ”
Midori: "Huh? ”
Zong Xian grabbed the microphone and said, "Okay, thank you for singing, do you think this is the best song she sings?" ”
People laughed and said in unison, "Yes!" ”
Ah Po said: "Isn't this bullying? ”
I said: "Taiwan's hosts are like this, sometimes they are annoyed and play out their brains." ”
In fact, we can all see that the host's hint surname is very strong, which means that Lu Qi will definitely be today's champion, although there is an element of the host's straightforward spoof in it, but it is obviously unfair to the other three contestants - especially to those two.
After the other two contestants were also teased by them, Zong Xian announced: "Now that the first Little Red Riding Hood Draft Contest has officially begun, the first contestant to appear below is: Lu Qi, her repertoire is "Malan Blossoms". ”
At the beginning, people talked a lot, because everyone knew that the first appearance in the game was not a good thing, and people always had a "go inside" mentality, so the rent at the entrance of each mall was cheaper than the inside, but when they heard the host announce the name of the song, it was the famous song of Little Red Riding Hood!
I turned my face to look at Wushuang, who seemed a little excited.
The lights on the stage dimmed, and when they lit up again, there were ten hot girls on both sides wearing tight leather jackets and holding nunchucks, each standing in front of a big drum, Lu Qi stood in front of them domineeringly, and the audience looked at each other, not knowing what this had to do with "Malan Blossom", and then the drum beaten, twenty girls played nunchucks and beat the drum together, while reciting a lot of tongue twisters that they couldn't understand, oh, it seems to be called rb......
These 20 big drums beat people's hearts, coupled with the shaking disco, no one understands what this Lu Qi is going to do, all the music stopped, Lu Qi stroked the hair in his ears, and sang quietly: "That's a childhood ballad, you teach me to sing hand in hand, Ma Lan blossoms, 2825628257, 383941, lalala, lala, my heart is full of tenderness, for the distant girl......" The drum beat again, and the 20 hot girls picked up the nunchucks again and recited tongue twisters.
Ah Po exclaimed: "The words are different! Is this a full set? ”
I have to say that although this song is a bit nondescript in style after she changed it like this, it has a different taste, and the audience below has already gone crazy, they are excited that they finally heard the full version of "Malan Blossom", tears flowed, and many people shouted uncontrollably: "Little Red Riding Hood!" ”
Lu Qi finished singing a song quietly in the noise, and when the lights came on, he said euphemistically: "Everyone also knows that I used to sing in a bar, so the original appearance of this song is like this." There was a lot of color in the audience, and Lu Qi said: "Are you disappointed?" ”
Audience, loudly: "Not disappointed!" ”
"Do you think I've let you down?"
The audience still shouted: "Don't be disappointed!" ”
Lu Qi gradually raised his voice, and his state became high, and he asked loudly: "Do you think Little Red Riding Hood has disappointed you?" ”
The audience shouted tsunami: "Don't be disappointed! ”
Lu Qi just retracted his state and said quietly: "So I don't want any next Little Red Riding Hood draft, isn't it enough for you to have me?" ”
The audience frantically said: "Enough! ”
Xiaohui said coldly: "It's a good idea to change the concept and help her think of words, this person is very tall." ”
Lu Qi said: "Thank you, all friends who are here today can get a free ticket to my concert tomorrow, welcome everyone to come and cheer!" ”
The cheers resumed, and almost everyone stood up and applauded, tears welling up in their eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't clean up the scene, the host hurriedly ran up, and Lu Qi asked loudly: "Now, can I say the acceptance speech?" ”
Zong Xian and Ah Ya had long lost the intention of ridiculing, and said frantically: "No, what about the guy in the back?" ”
Ah Po and I laughed and said, "It turns out that Ya can speak Mandarin!" ”
