CHAPTER XXXIX

Previous Chapter

Via came to Paris on deadlines, so she couldn't catch her breath or travel around, and the next day, she had to go to the TV station to report, meet the program director, and draw lots. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Catherine drove Via to the television station and told her that she would pick her up at the same location at half past twelve. The Conservatoire National de la Musique is not far from the TV station, and Catherine is a good way to send her.

At the door of the TV station, Via showed the staff her passport and the voucher given to her by the competition team at the end of the preliminary round.

"Via Levitt," the staff member read her name, his eyes glaring at her, not just him, but the people around him looking at Via.

This made Viya feel weird and embarrassed.

Staying in the mountain village, busy with the ranch and the hospital every day, she didn't know that she was now the most famous contestant in this year's idole competition, because she was the first contestant to compete with her brother, and every song was original, catchy, and she herself was extremely beautiful.

After the video of the streets of Zurich was exposed on the Internet, more people began to pay attention to her, and some people tried to contact her, but no one knew her phone number, her address, and she didn't even seem to have a verified online social media account.

In fact, Wei Ya had registered an account called sylvie&lan earlier, but there were too many accounts impersonating her identity on the Internet, and this account that had not been updated for a long time was gradually forgotten.

Via's very different style from other high-profile contestants creates a particularly attractive sense of mystery for her, and everyone is more interested in her, so it's no wonder that these staff pay special attention to her.

All the players who enter the semi-finals must first assemble in the studio on the third floor, and those who do not arrive on time will be disqualified.

When Via arrived at the studio, there were already many people gathered inside, they were all young, dressed differently, with different skin tones, different nationalities, after all, the top 100 contestants were selected from all over Europe, everyone was very good, had their own unique temperament and personality, probably because they were not familiar with each other, everyone was very quiet and did not talk to each other.

Viya was still dressed in a plain T-shirt and jeans, similar to a TV intern, and she came in unnoticed. In the first row of the auditorium was the sign-in area, where Via wrote her name on the form and then found a seat in the back row.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the staff closed the door of the studio, and a middle-aged man in a gray shirt and black trousers walked in front of the microphone in the middle, he looked a little serious and behaved very gentlemanly.

"Hello everyone, I'm Nicholas Millett, the second assistant director of the IDOLE program, congratulations to all of you on entering the semi-finals, and I'm glad you all came here on time. This year is the fifth year since the start of our program, in the past five years, we have discovered countless young people with musical talents, giving them the opportunity to show themselves in front of people all over the world, many ordinary people have become famous overnight, become super singers, everyone here has passed the test of the preliminary round, and the road to success is not far away from you. ”

The choreographer named Nicholas is very good at mobilizing the crowd, and the contestants in the audience are excited by his encouragement and are eager to try, as if they have become a big star.

"I would like to announce the rules of the rematch, of the original 100 players, 1 retired due to injury, and 3 were late and disqualified. We continued the usual practice of playing in groups, but after watching the video of your game, we innovated with the group members. ”

As soon as the words fell, some people began to talk in low voices. The rules of the previous year were very simple, 100 players, divided into 10 groups, 10 players in each group, 1 out of 10 in two rounds of competition, and advanced to the finals.

"The semi-finals are still divided into groups, but only divided into two groups, each group of 24 players, and after three rounds, the top three teams with the best results in each group will enter the finals."

"Team 24?" Someone noticed this strange measure word.

"That's right, 24 teams, each team consists of two players, and the two players must cooperate with each other to reach the finals together."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Here, everyone is their own competitor, what kind of cooperation to talk about? And how can you be in the mood to cooperate?

"Our competition is not only a cruel competition but also unity and cooperation, everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, through group competition, you can understand your own shortcomings and advantages, you should treat each other as partners and friends," Nicholas said very high-sounding, in fact, idole has been on the air for five years, and the same form every year makes the audience a little aesthetically tired and a little tired, not to mention that similar talent shows emerge in endlessly, and idole's own competitiveness is gradually declining, in order to improve the ratings of the program, the TV station came up with this eye-catching way of playing.

"So how do we choose our teammates?" Some people raised doubts that were common to everyone.

Most of them don't know each other, even if they come out of a competition area, they are just familiar with each other, and they haven't said a few words, and more importantly, everyone has a different singing style, so you can't let a rock singer and a country folk song team up.

"It's up to you," Nicholas said, raising his hand, and the names of the 96 players and a brief introduction appeared on the screen behind him.

"It's never too late to get to know each other, you've got a morning. Oh, and I want to emphasize that the remaining players who haven't formed a team until the end will have to accept our forced grouping. Don't be complacent about finding your teammates, your choice may not be the best, and it may even be a disaster for your performance, everyone is a stranger here, isn't it? Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, so this year's competition is exciting and makes people's hearts beat, isn't it? ”

Nicholas winked at everyone and walked leisurely, leaving a chaotic crowd of young people behind. Just now, the players who were all over the world began to ask each other about their names, which region they came from, and what music they were good at, and matched them with the introduction on the screen.

Via looked at the pile of unfamiliar names, her mind was a little confused, she didn't know who to choose, hey, if Dick hadn't been hurt, she wouldn't have to team up with strangers.

She sat in her chair and was distracted, but someone was staring at her.

A young man in a fancy pink shirt approached her and answered, "You're Via Levitt, aren't you?" ”

"My name is Manson Belak and I'm from Paris," he said, introducing himself.

The man is very handsome, but the smell of perfume on his body is very strong, which makes Via's head even more dizzy.

It's still Theo, the body is always refreshing, only the smell of leaves and grass; Dick was also not fond of perfume, saying that he did rough work, and that it was disgusting to have sweat and perfume mixed together; Kailan wears perfume, but the smell is as light as his person, just right.

"Hello," Via said politely.

"I've watched your performance video and I appreciate your singing very much, your songs are mainly lyrical and too soft, and I sing jazz myself, I think the two of us complement each other perfectly."

Manson had obviously come to ask Viva to cooperate with him, but he put his posture very high, as if he was in a group with him, it was Via's great glory, it was she who climbed herself, and he had the typical pride of a Parisian.

Manson was confident that Via would definitely agree to him, he was a top student in the vocal department of the National Conservatory of Music, and Via was just a village girl.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ya shook her head, "I'm sorry, you'd better find someone else." ”

Manson was stunned, and a kind of anger at being slapped in the face welled up in his heart, and he suddenly raised his voice,

"Could it be that you already have teammates?"

caused the people around them to look at them.

"No, but I don't fit your style," Viagra politely refused, and she couldn't say that it was because she didn't like his perfume smell and pompous temperament.

"Hmph, if you don't know what to do, you'll regret it, just wait to be eliminated," Manson shook his hand disdainfully and walked away.

Competitors in Paris tend to be better than others, after all, Paris is the center of art in France and Europe. And Manson is the first place in the Paris division, his talent and singing skills are self-evident, not to mention, his appearance is handsome with a little aristocratic atmosphere, and he can dress himself, which is very popular with female fans, so his popularity is no less than that of Weiya, the reason why he likes Weiya, of course, is also because of her popularity and appearance, you must know that among the female players present, Weiya is the most outstanding.

Via's refusal even to Manson, will she look down on anyone else? This was the thought of the male players present, so none of the male players came to invite Via.

And female players will not choose Weiya, looking for a teammate who is stronger than her in popularity and appearance, isn't that self-inflicted unhappiness and jealousy? Who can stand it in their hearts?

Time passed minute by minute, seeing that most of the people had found their teammates, the rest of them began to be anxious, and Wei Ya was still sitting in the same place, she was not in a hurry, it was a big deal to obey the mandatory arrangement in the end.

Until a voice sounded coldly behind her,

"Hey, you come with me."

Via turned around and saw a cool head, the other party was standing behind her, looking at her from a high place, Via called out the other party's name in surprise, "Cherry." ”

Cherry tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling, "Thank you for remembering me." ”

Via also laughed, "Of course I remember, you made such a big impression on me. ”

"That's really my pleasure," Cherry looked around, looking at the players who were "in pairs" and were stepping up to get to know each other, their utilitarianism and expressiveness were on display, and there was a hint of mockery in Cherry's eyes,

"How about it, would you like to join a group with me?" Facing Via, she held out her hand.

Via got up and took her hand, "Why not?" ”

Cherry hooked her lips and gave Via's first sincere smile, "It's a pleasure to work with." ”

Viya and Cherry went to the staff to register their names and draw lots, and they were assigned to the second group, Team 17, number 217, no one expected that Viya would end up choosing to partner with a girl with a completely opposite style to hers, and even Nicholas and the rest of the TV crew were surprised.

One of the staff members said, "You have three days to decide on the tracks, and then come here three days later to register the titles." ”

Cherry interrupted him, "In less than three days, we can now settle on the track 'theonlystage.' ”

β€œγ€Štheonlystageγ€‹οΌŸβ€ The staff had not heard the name.

"Yes," Cherry replied in the affirmative, "the songwriters are all Via Levitt." ”
