Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 40: The National Tournament Begins

A coffee shop on campus at Hunan University.

Shen Qing and Zhang Liangying sat there until dark, finally managing to make some progress on their future path.

The first step is to set up a studio.

The second step is to find distribution channels.

The third step is to release the album.

Neither one nor three is difficult.

Shen Qing has countless original songs in her mind.

The most difficult part is the second step: finding distribution channels, which inevitably involves cooperating with large companies.

now.

After much thought, Taihe Wheat Field is still the most suitable.

At least Zhang Lu is a decent person, more reliable than the two Wang brothers.

Moreover, the one or two months that "East and West," "The Ambitious One," and "Red High Heels" were handled by Taihe Wheatfield have yielded excellent results, bringing Shen Qing and her partner nearly a million yuan in revenue.

"Hey Qing, are we really going to release our first album in October?"

"Of course! Release an album and make big money."

"Ahhh... I'm so happy..."

"It's very convenient to compile the original songs you sang during the competition into an album, so you can just focus on singing."

"Okay, whatever you say~"

"By the way, let's go to the Hunan University cafeteria for a meal first, and then discuss the competition this Friday."

"Okay... Shen Qing, I really want to go to university too. Do you think we'll have a chance to attend a university like this in the future?"

"Go to a 985 university?"

"Yeah~"

"That's a bit difficult... but if they offer adult undergraduate programs, maybe they could manage by paying some fees..."

……

The knockout stage, from 15 to 12, begins on Friday.

Although Zhang Liangying doesn't need to participate in the competition, she will still perform on stage as the champion singer.

She spent three days rehearsing at Hunan TV from Wednesday to Friday.

Tonight, she will sing two songs.

In the first song, she and the other four champions took turns performing a segment.

The second part involves the champion of each region singing a duet with a contestant from that region who is yet to be determined, to garner votes for the undecided contestant.

Ji Minjia and Ye Yiqian have been on very good terms with Zhang Liangying these past few days, both of them leaving themselves a way out.

As can be seen from the competition format, the contestants can improvise freely in the first song, while the second song depends on what the contestants will sing.

Shen Qing originally wanted her to sing "Farewell".

However, the production team informed Zhang Liangying that she could only sing for 2 minutes a cappella, and it would be a pity if she sang "Farewell".

There wasn't enough time; the entire song "Farewell" is 2 minutes and 48 seconds long.

So let's save this killer song for a crucial moment. If Jane Zhang sings it then, she might just make a splash again.

In view of this.

Shen Qing chose Xu Huaiyu's "Parting Ways" for Liangying.

This song is also a very classic piece.

Singer Hsu Huai-yu herself is also a beautiful woman.

In 2000, she starred in "The Legend of the Mermaid", playing the mermaid Xiao Lian, which won the hearts of many viewers.

……

Hunan TV Building.

The area downstairs was packed with fans from all over the country, gathered in groups, waiting for their favorite singers to pass by.

At a glance, Li Yuchun and Zhang Liangying's fans make up half of the group.

Corn and jelly are clearly distinct, and neither of them can stand the other.

They even argue from time to time.

3pm.

The contestants who participated in the elimination rounds entered the building.

The security guards at the gate struggled to keep the crazed fans out of the gate.

This was the busiest day for the security guards this year.

Even when Hu Yanbing and others came to participate in "Happy Camp" last time, they didn't receive this kind of treatment.

Speaking of "Happy Camp", we have to mention Li Yuchun, because just last month, singer Guang Liang and Li Yuchun participated in the recording of "Happy Camp" together.

At that time, Zhang Liangying was still participating in the elimination rounds in the Hangzhou region...

This shows how much Hunan TV and EE-Media value Li Yuchun.

……

Shortly after.

The five regional champions, Zhang Liangying, Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhao Jingyi, and Zhu Yan, appeared together downstairs at the Mango Building.

The fans at the entrance began to stir.

Cheers echoed in every corner, growing from a small person to hundreds.

They not only cheered, but also broke through the security guards' obstruction and surrounded Zhang Liangying and the other four people in the middle.

Unable to move...

Zhang Liangying and Li Yuchun had never seen such a scene before, nor had they expected such a pick-up and drop-off service.

They had only seen it on television before.

Now I've finally experienced it.

At first, I was secretly pleased, but after being surrounded for a long time, I started to feel irritable and really wanted to squeeze through the crowd and get through the gate.

"Spring, ahhh..."

"Go Yuchun, you're the champion!"

"Beautiful figure, beautiful voice, beautiful figure."

"Bichang, you must believe in yourself, you are the best."

"Ah, Mom..." Hmm?
What the hell got in there?

……

at the same time.

Shen Qing just came from the hotel.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a spectacular scene.

Seeing Zhang Liangying surrounded by the crowd and unable to move, Shen Qing sighed, "These fans are too damn enthusiastic."

He stuffed his phone into his jeans pocket, ready to force it in.

but……

It's too crowded to squeeze through.

It's completely blocked.

Shen Qing sighed and came up with a solution.

He stood not far away and shouted, "Holy crap, Xie Tingfeng is here! Sisters, look, it's Xie Tingfeng!"

"Huh? Where is it?"

"Xie Tingfeng!?"

"Xie Tingfeng is so handsome..."

"..."

Shen Qing: "Yes, he's so handsome. He just came out of the east gate."

then.

At least half of the fans ran over.

These are all wavering fans!!!
Zhang Liangying and the others didn't care whether they were determined or not, and quickly ran inside amidst the chaos, while the remaining male fans didn't dare to stop them.

Xie Tingfeng's name is really useful...

In the first few years of the new millennium, Tse Ting-Fung was probably the most popular idol star, achieving success in both music and film, and having countless female fans.

His name is definitely more useful than Jay Chou's name now.

……

Half past eight in the evening.

The live broadcast officially begins.

This time, the number of people watching the finals on TV was more than ten times that of the Hangzhou division.

Tonight, Hunan TV's ratings reached their highest level this year.

After a 1 minute and 15 second video ended, the live broadcast officially switched to the studio, where 15 contestants were ready to go.

Opening show…

This is a dance and singing performance, with the background music being "Sing If You Want," but it has been rearranged by Hei Nan.

The music is ringing.

The champions from the five competition regions took the lead and appeared in turn.

When it was Zhou Bi's turn to sing, her unique smile made Shen Qing extremely happy; the upward curve of her lips was comparable to Nike's.

After the opening show, hosts Wang Han and Li Xiang took the stage.

At Hunan TV these days, Li Xiang is the absolute big sister, and even Wang Han wouldn't dare to steal lines from her.

Li Xiang: "Welcome to...Super Girl!"

Wang Han chimed in, "Super Girl!"

Lee Sang: "Hello everyone, I am the host, Lee Sang."

Wang Han: "Hello everyone, I am the host, Wang Han."

Li Xiang: "Welcome everyone to the 2005 Super Girl Grand Final. This is the first round of the top ten qualifying competition."

Wang Han: "Next, let's introduce five contestants. They are all champions of our region and can directly advance to the top ten."

The first to take the stage was Zhou Bichang from the Guangzhou region.

She sang Wang Leehom's song "Forever Love" a cappella, and as a graduate of a professional academy, her talent was indeed remarkable.

Next up are Zhao Jingyi from the Changsha division, Zhu Yan from the Zhengzhou division, and Li Yuchun from the Chengdu division.

Of the first four singers, Li Yuchun was probably the worst.

She can't be said to have no singing skills, but she's only slightly better than the average person. If it were purely based on singing skills, she probably wouldn't have made it into the top three in the competition.

Finally, Jane Zhang appeared.

With her rendition of "Parting Ways," she stunned everyone on and off stage; her naturally beautiful voice was like heavenly music.

"Rain is falling heavily"

"My tears are flying in the sky"

Tears streamed down her face.

"The lingering scent of you remains in my palm."

Who understands?

"Sincere devotion is met with separation."

"..."

At this moment, listening to the original soundtrack, Li Yuchun was greatly shocked and remembered the question he had asked his parents before - could he beat Zhang Liangying?

It seems that singing alone is no longer an option.

What could possibly surpass her singing?

Li Yuchun: "It seems that I can only advance by clinging to Tianyu Media!"

……

soon.

The knockout stage has officially begun.

Ten contestants took turns performing.

After the first round, contestants No. 2, She Manni, and No. 3, Song Lin, entered the waiting area for a head-to-head competition. After voting by the audience, She Manni received 26 votes and Song Lin received 9 votes.

Song Lin was the first to be eliminated.

Next, two more people will leave this stage.
