The next morning, all the finalists gathered in the No. 3 studio hall of Beijing TV.

A total of 32 people from 10 divisions across the country were shortlisted for the finals. Except for the super region of Beijing and Shencheng, where 4 players were shortlisted, 3 people from each other region were shortlisted for the most difficult competition.

The Youth Song Contest is very flexible, and the rules of each region are somewhat different. When it came to the finals, the rules of the competition were also reformulated.

In the first round, the 32 players in the finals are not limited to divisions, men and women, and they will be matched and paired.

In this way, 32 players made up 16 pairs and played a 32-8 knockout round.

There are two contents of the knockout round assessment of 32 into 8. One is a love song duet, and the other is a touch and rhythm strike.

In the second round, the remaining 4 pairs of 8 players are no longer matched or paired, but will fight the last one, and directly determine the top three in this Qingge Grand Prix by singing their own self-prepared songs.

In other words, if you can enter the top 8, the second round will depend entirely on your personal performance. However, in the first round, if you play well, you also have to expect your teammates to play well. Otherwise, according to the barrel principle, one of the two players will not play well, and both are doomed to be eliminated.

"Pray I don't get mixed up with the rest of the division." Ding Yimin watched the staff of the organizer come out, clasped his hands together, and said silently.

Although Song Qian didn't speak, judging from her expression, she was also a little nervous. Since they are all the best in their respective regions, the knockout rounds will definitely be extremely fierce and intense. As long as the partner is slightly weaker, there is a risk of being eliminated.

Anyi was very calm. He knew that at this stage, the contestants' singing skills would not be bad. If you want to get the desired ranking, it is one thing to cooperate with your peers, but the most important thing is to highlight the novelty.

The novelty of the singer contest is that only innovative songs are king.

At nine o'clock, the group draw officially began.

Of the two cardboard boxes on stage, each has small balls arranged strictly according to Arabic numerals. It's just that the color of the balls in the carton is different, one is red and the other is blue. The 32 players in the audience were divided into two teams and drew the balls from different cardboard boxes. If one draws the red 10 and the other draws the blue 10, it means that the two are in a group for the next 32-8 match. Moreover, the number 10 is also their order of appearance.

The rules are very simple, and everyone understands them as soon as the staff says a little.

In line with the principle of ladies first, the draw starts with the girls.

Song Qian's number drawn was No. 2, and when she got off the stage, her face was very ugly.

An Yi understood her feelings. No matter what the game, anyone who plays first and the last is unlucky is more unlucky.

As we all know, the judges are generally conservative in the first few scores, so as to prevent the contestants who appear later from performing too well and not being easy to handle. As a result, there is undoubtedly a lot of pressure on the players who start to play.

If it is not good to appear at the back, the judges will inevitably be aesthetically fatigued at that time, and it is very likely that the judges' scores will be lower than the real level of the singer.

Compared with Song Qian, Ding Yimin is much luckier, the number she drew is No. 11, a non-forward and backward order of appearance.

The number drawn by Anyi is No. 5, although it is relatively high, but the judges have long passed the cautious period, and it is a good ranking.

After the draw is over, it means that the results of the grouping are out.

Ding Yimin was in a group with a girl from the Shencheng Division.

Song Qian's partner is the red-haired Ge Tao.

And to Anyi's slight surprise, the other player who drew the No. 5 ball was actually Kong Sha.

In other words, in the 32-8 match that will start the day after tomorrow, he and Kongsha will become partners.

After the results of the grouping were released, everyone found their cooperative opponents and quickly left.

There are only two days before the competition the day after tomorrow, and in these two days, they have to choose the songs, prepare the accompaniment tape, and the two have to run in well, and from the perspective of time, they are still very nervous, and no one dares to waste time.

When An Yi was about to call Kong Sha to leave, the red-haired Ge Tao was reluctant.

"I said comfort, where are you going to take my girlfriend to practice?" His girlfriend is alone with a stranger, and no matter what, he can't be happy.

An Yi's brows furrowed, he had endured the red hair several times, but the other party always took his generosity as weakness, which was a bit too much. "It's my freedom to go wherever I want. Of course, if you don't want your girlfriend to go, you can say it to her directly. ”

The red hair really said it, after all, everyone else practiced alone, and he didn't want people to know the songs they chose.

"Don't talk to me on the phone for the next two days. Also, guarding the beauty, you have to be honest. Kong Sha glanced at Song Qian, warned Ge Tao again, and left with An Yi.

"You really don't worry, he's a good-natured person."

Intentionally or unintentionally, Song Qian's words reached An Yi's ears.

An Yi turned around and found that Ge Tao and Song Qian were both staring at him with burning eyes.

The slight difference is that Ge Tao's gaze is a warning. Song Qian's gaze was hatred.

Looks like it's time to teach the two of them a lesson, An Yi thought to herself.

Back at the hotel, An Yi took out the finished lyrics in the suitcase of the room, took the guitar, and took Kong Sha to the door of a guest room on the sixth floor of the hotel.

Kong Sha, who followed all the way, finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it the girl from yesterday, is she your girlfriend?" ”

An Yi only replied 'no' and stopped paying attention to her.

Rang the doorbell and waited for a long time before the room slowly opened, it was obvious that Zhao Nan didn't sleep well last night.

After An Yi said the purpose of his singing, Zhao Nan was reasonable and gave them the guest room. Anyway, she has a lot of college classmates in the capital, so she just took this opportunity to go and see them.

In fact, An Yi didn't want to occupy the magpie's nest, but there was no way, for a while, he really couldn't find a place with absolute quiet. Second, his songs are all new songs, and at this stage, he definitely doesn't want to leak and show his troubles.

Fortunately, he and Zhao Nan are also good friends, and they don't feel too guilty about driving others out of their accommodation.

"Kong Sha, listen to it, which of these two songs is better to sing?" An Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out two newly created songs, and the accompaniment tape of the song was also uploaded to his mobile phone.

When Kong Sha heard the prelude, and then heard the comfortable soft humming, her eyes lit up suddenly.

The song is definitely not present. She knew too well what it meant for a new song to appear at this stage.

And, more importantly, it's a very good song.

Kong Sha was ecstatic in his heart, which meant that they had already stepped on one foot and entered the top 8 of the last one.

No wonder a reporter followed him to the capital for an interview, it turned out that he was really worthy of others.
