Chapter 180 Rewards and Punishments

The results of the first group of contestants who took the stage were similar to those of Xu Feng's team, both of which were at a mid-level.

After the two singers came on stage, they bowed and greeted all the mentors.

The battle between the members of the group was just an appetizer. No one said much nonsense and nodded to indicate that the contestants could sing.

"let's start."

"Hello, teachers. What I am going to sing next is..."

"..."

After the first group of members finished singing and their mentors gave their scores, the next group of contestants soon came on stage.

Bai Yao, who was watching the show the whole time, glanced at Cheng Luan who was very conspicuous in the audience, then smiled and said to Xu Feng: "Teacher Xu Feng, do you think their performance is pretty good?"

In order to avoid the situation where some instructors intentionally give high scores to students with poor performance in other groups in order to gain a relative advantage for their own group, the intra-group competitions are judged by the instructors within the group.

During this period, the other tutors naturally had nothing to do.

Moreover, Bai Yao also discovered that this group of members performed better than the mentors in the previous round of song selection.

"Of course, choosing your own songs is always better than choosing others'." Xu Feng also chatted, "It's like an open-book exam or a closed-book exam."

"You can even say that choosing your own music is like giving yourself an open-book exam. If you make a mistake here, you really deserve a D."

"Well... but due to time constraints, I can't hear a complete song, which is a bit regrettable."

Considering that the tense atmosphere within the group battle is not that strong, the production team only gave each singer one and a half minutes to perform in the group stage.

It’s about the time of one cycle.

This time is indeed enough to determine the winner.

While the two were chatting, the top two in the group were also selected.

Judging from their previous performance and this time's performance, they are indeed a strong opponent.

Of course, there were also some who did not perform so well, and some who were too nervous.

The player who made a mistake and ended up with a D rating.

For any player who receives a D score, his fate will be largely left to his "teammates" rather than in his own hands.

It would be fine if the group won first place, I could just take some credit and not be eliminated.

Otherwise, you will have to enter the most brutal elimination phase within the group - people who were teammates just now may become your life-and-death opponents the next second.

What is the ceiling for the future development of these singers? What kind of agency can they sign with after the variety show? What kind of agency contract can they get?

If we are eliminated now, it will basically be a pure loss.

And if the team is unlucky enough to be ranked last, it would be even worse - they may be eliminated without even a chance to struggle.

"..."

Bai Yao continued to comment: "Zhou Yanliu's group performed very well. To be honest, the singers assigned to their group all have solid basic skills."

“The top two are also very good and objectively speaking, they have the potential to win the championship.”

After saying that, Bai Yao thought of Xu Feng's speculation again, and said with some regret: "If your guess is correct, Teacher Xu Feng, this group may really be in trouble this time."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the production team also said that they will give the team members a chance to adjust their groups. We will know the result then." Xu Feng shrugged. "Besides, our group is not bad either."

The result of the final in-group competition in Xu Feng's group was that Qin Daoqiu and another singer who had performed well before qualified for the group stage.

The two people who had made such wild statements in the practice room before were not successfully selected.

After determining the number of participants for each group, Xu Feng returned to the practice room with his team members and partners.

After sitting down, Xu Feng looked at the students below who were looking forward to it, and asked with a smile: "How is it, is the pressure too much?"

This question is not only addressed to the top two people, but also to the bottom two people.

Everyone performed well this time, but there was still one person who panicked because of a wrong word, causing his rhythm to completely collapse.

Logically speaking, this kind of small mistake wouldn't have a big impact in this kind of variety show, and if the performance is good afterwards, it should be no problem for him to get a B.

"so far so good!"

"I believe in sister Qin Daoqiu, I believe in teacher Bai Yao's ability to teach skills, and I believe even more in teacher Xu Feng's level of song selection!"

"Speaking of which song we are going to sing this time, can't Mr. Xu Feng reveal it?"

"Of course not. We just need to wait for the two teachers to come on stage and perform."

Bai Yao interrupted, "The group competition is for people like you. It was an open-book exam before, but this is a closed-book exam. You don't have that much time to prepare, and it's impossible to completely select songs that suit your personal style."

Xu Feng also nodded and said, "I can't tell you about the song selection in advance... Your phones are all monitored, so you can't send messages... There are cameras everywhere at the show, so I can't tell you secretly."

"What's the subject matter? Can you tell me about it?"

This kind of information has nothing to do with the fairness of the variety show. Xu Feng directly responded: "Didn't you say before that someone broke up? Let's use a similar theme."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the practice room was shocked.

"???"

"Didn't Teacher Xu Feng just find out about this?"

"It seems so."

"Teacher Xu Feng improvised a song, right? In such a short time just now?"

"Teacher Bai Yao, please tell me this isn't true. Have you two already discussed in private what song you're going to sing?"

Bai Yao shook her head: "I still don't know what song Teacher Xu Feng is going to sing. It's been hidden for a long time."

Having said this, Bai Yao's admiration for Xu Feng increased a little more in her heart.

At the same time, they are more opposed to the views of their own agents.

You will definitely learn real skills by following Teacher Xu Feng.

The more Bai Yao thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Feng was amazing, so she continued to flatter him: "Look, even a singer like Teacher Xu Feng always insists on innovation and is not afraid of making mistakes on such an important variety show. You shouldn't stay in your comfort zone."

"The charm of original variety show competitions is that as long as you can come up with good works, you really have a chance to soar to the sky... The example is still Mr. Xu Feng."

"You should cherish this important opportunity. Don't always sing your previous works, and don't always cover other people's songs in front of the camera that you finally appear in."

"Many singers may only have this one chance to become popular in their lifetime, and almost no one becomes popular by covering a certain song."

Xu Feng also nodded at this time to show his agreement.

It was almost the same in my previous life. Some good songs, even those that could be performed on the Spring Festival Gala, were discovered in original variety shows. Only singers like this can have the opportunity to continue to maintain their popularity after the variety show ends.

Other singers, even if they perform well and have good singing skills, will soon become unknown again with the end of the variety show if they do not have works to anchor them.

Should I play it safe all the way, trying to gain as much traffic as possible in the safest way, then be eliminated in the increasingly fierce variety show competitions, and finally return to peace... or should I try my best to get famous?
The singers may not have thought it through and just wanted to avoid being eliminated, but as a mentor, Bai Yao had to remind them of this.

Seeing the students' thoughtful expressions, "Teacher" Bai Yao was very satisfied. He turned to look at Xu Feng and said:
"Come on, Teacher Xu Feng, let's go study your new song!"

Not only the students, but she herself must also take this opportunity to work hard and strive to reach the threshold of first-line singers one day.

……

At the same time, in the dormitory of Practice Room No. 1.

The program team’s reward for the first place is luxurious... The team that wins first place not only has a 30-square-meter single room with a private bathroom for each member, but the single room is also equipped with a full range of entertainment facilities.

Quiet, clean and good environment.

Even if you feel hungry at night, you can just make a phone call and ask the staff to help you order takeout and have it delivered to your room.

You don’t have to clean the room yourself every day, the program team specially invites a professional cleaning company to come and clean it.

In short, the program team strives for one effect - any group that has been in the first place will not want to fall again.

Everyone knows how frustrating it can be to have a troublesome roommate.

Everyone knows how happy it is to have a single room by yourself and have absolute privacy to rest after a day of hard work.

However, there was something wrong with the overall atmosphere of the dormitory.

The entire first group gathered in the living room, and the atmosphere was as depressing as ever.

The two people who represented the group performed very well.

The singers gathered in the living room looked at the big screen in silence for two or three minutes. Finally, the contestant who received an A score twice spoke.

"Let's just say this quietly...Does everyone feel that the atmosphere in our group is a little weird?"

"I've been wanting to say this for a long time."

"I'm sure you noticed... I've visited other dormitories before, and the atmosphere in the last-last dorm was more serious than ours."

"The atmosphere in Xu Feng's group was really good. I'm serious."

"Did you see Teacher Zhou Yanliu's reaction today? I have a bad feeling. Wasn't she eager to shove how awesome her songs were in our faces?"

"Who knows..."

"It's okay, just relax. There are very few teams in other variety shows that can maintain the first place."

"Enforcing discipline every day, ah!"

"Yeah, we have such good conditions, but we just can't relax at all."

"Let me be frank. What right does she have to enforce discipline on others? If she wasn't abroad, she would have been arrested by now, right?"

"Keep your voice down. Let's make the best of it now."

Several people looked at the big screen with sad faces and stopped muttering.

Although they carefully checked the tables and chairs to make sure there were no recording devices installed nearby, they only spoke a few words quietly.

But it’s better to say less about this kind of thing. If someone finds out, your career will be ruined.

Just at this time the host had already come on stage.

After thanking the sponsors as usual, she turned the page of the booklet in her hand.

"Everyone knows the rules of this show, so I won't go into details here."

"Now, let's talk about what everyone is most concerned about, the different rights and interests corresponding to different scores in this game!"

coming!

Everyone, especially the contestants, looked over there.

As mentioned before, ABC scores basically represent advancement, but there is a huge difference between advancement and promotion.

A will be rewarded and C will be punished.

But how to reward and punish is naturally different in each round.

Accommodation conditions are naturally rewards and advantages, but they do not directly affect the rules of the variety show itself.

Real rewards and punishments must be closely related to the rules.

"First of all, we can reveal in advance the rules of the next round. The theme of the next round is 'Topic Creation'. As the name suggests, the program team will give a song topic."

"Contestants who receive an A rating can choose to create their own original songs on the theme with our professional team and obtain the original singing rights of the song; contestants who receive a C rating can only cover the mentor team's work."

“Players with a B rating can also choose freely, but if they choose originality, they will only have some minor assistance.”

Together with a professional team, become the original team of a song? !

Perhaps this is not of great significance to the entire variety show - the creative works of this team may not be comparable to those of the mentor team.

But, this is original!
As long as you release an original song that can be spread throughout the circle of friends, there is a possibility of it becoming a hit even if you don’t make it to the finals!
Many singers who were once unknown have directly become second-tier singers because of a representative work.

The production team really took this kind of thing into consideration...

There is also a professional team to help!
The host said meaningfully: "I think everyone knows what this means."

"Then let's not waste any more time... the mentor competition will begin soon."

"It's still in accordance with previous practice. The mentor with the highest score will have the priority to choose the order of appearance."

"Then, the first person to come on stage is Teacher Zhou Yanliu, welcome!"

The lifeless first group looked at the screen nervously.

Zhou Yanliu, dressed in a pure and beautiful outfit, walked onto the stage, revealing a sweet and lovely smile that the students had never seen before. There was no sign of her hostility and arrogance in private.

"Hello everyone, today I want to bring you a new original song of mine."

The host said: "This show is really not easy! The competition between the mentors is also very fierce. It is rare to see mentors come up with so many new songs."

Most of the mentors will sing their own famous songs.

Who would be so busy singing a new song on a variety show?
The host stopped talking nonsense and slowly stepped back. The lights on the stage also gradually dimmed, leaving only Zhou Yanliu's figure relatively clear.

"please!"

However, the moment the first tune of the song started, the faces of the students in the first group's practice room immediately turned ugly!
