Movie/TV: How could my sister be Qiao Jingjing?

Page 101

Perhaps out of caution, the guests invited to the previous season of "I Am a Singer" were either has-been singers or singers with little fame.

Unexpectedly, the show became a hit across the country.

With advertisers investing in the program and the production team having funds, they certainly couldn't invite washed-up celebrities anymore.

Zhang Xing is a popular male singer.

He's only been in the industry for a few years and is still quite young, but he's handsome and sings well.

It's very popular with girls.

He has countless female fans.

Hearing the thunderous cheers, Qiao Yu turned to Qiao Jingjing and asked, puzzled:

"I've always been curious whether the shouts from the audience are live or produced in post-production?"

I remember watching variety shows before.

He had this question.

"Of course it's post-production. The audience can see what's happening backstage on the big screen. The cheers are real, but they're edited out and used here," Qiao Jingjing explained.

Qiao Yu nodded and continued watching the program.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Hello."

Zhang Xing walked over to the host, Luo Xue.

"It is my pleasure to inform you that you are the first singer to perform. Before you go on stage, I would like to conduct a brief interview with you."

Luo Xue paused for a moment and then smiled, "I'm sure Teacher Zhang has watched our program before, so please share your thoughts."

"First of all, I want to thank the 'I Am a Singer' program for the invitation. To be honest, I hesitated when I received your invitation. For a singer who has been famous for a long time, coming to this stage to compete feels a bit strange. If I lose, my lifelong reputation will be ruined."

Do you lack confidence in yourself?

"I Am a Singer is a great show. Last season's guests, although not very famous, had impeccable singing skills and were all very strong. This season will probably be just as good, so I'm under a lot of pressure."

"But you still chose to come in the end, didn't you?"

"That was because of your appearance fees."

Zhang Xing made a small joke, which received a lot of positive feedback from the comments section.

Then the second door opened.

The man who came out was a middle-aged man with a square face and graying temples, but he looked very energetic.

His handsome features from back then are still faintly visible in his brows.

She was once a very popular singer, but has gradually faded out of the music scene in recent years.

It's Cao Jingqi!

I grew up listening to his songs.

"One Life, One Love," a timeless classic.

I'm a fan of his. When he first released an album, I stole my dad's money to buy it.

I'm going to call my dad; he's a huge fan of Cao Jingqi.

Is this the legendary singer from back then making a comeback?

I'm getting more and more excited for the next guests.

Even Qiao Yu, who doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, knows Cao Jingqi.

Cao Jingqi was already quite famous when he was young.

He became a household name across China with his song "One Life, One Love".

He was a heartthrob of that era.

However, times have changed, and a new generation replaces the old.

Young, fresh meat has replaced old, cured meat.

Cao Jingqi has not appeared on screen for several years.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xing excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Teacher Cao is my idol, one of my favorite singers back then. I never thought I would be competing on the same stage as my idol today. My goodness."

After a brief interview.

Cao Jingqi took his seat and met up with Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing was very good at handling things, and immediately bowed in respect.

"Idol, I bow down in admiration."

"Hello."

Cao Jingqi smiled and helped Zhang Xing up, and the two shook hands repeatedly.

"I never expected you to come. I'm both nervous and excited."

"Young man, you have a sweet tongue," Cao Jingqi said with a smile. "Now it's the era of you young people. The new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach."

"No, no, no, you are the tsunami, and I am just a small wave."

"Who is the next singer?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, I don't care if we can't invite any superstars."

"Hahaha."

The two of them were like a comedian performing a stand-up comedy routine, very humorous.

There's no doubt that two singers, one generation apart in age, could chat so happily, laughing and joking around.

That's the kind of effect variety shows aim for.

Who would believe that there was no rehearsal?

"This was rehearsed, wasn't it?" Qiao Yu asked.

"should be."

Qiao Jingjing hesitated.

What do you mean by "should be"?

"I didn't anyway."

"what?"

Qiao Jingjing looked indignant. "Although Sister Xiang Wan signed me up and the company agreed, the company didn't have high hopes for me. They thought I was just messing around and that I was just going to test the waters on stage. So I just went through a symbolic rehearsal and didn't even get to see the singers. I only met them during the competition."

"make it clear."

"The company deliberately used me as a gimmick to attract traffic. They didn't actually expect me to get a ranking. They just thought that the name of actress Qiao Jingjing could attract a large audience. So they decided to let me test the waters. That's how it is."

0 ······Requesting flowers···· ·····

"I'm telling you, how can a music novice like you compete on the same stage as established singers?" Qiao Yu suddenly realized.

The door for the third singer was knocked on.

A young woman with exquisite makeup and above-average looks.

But everyone knows her.

Wow, Deng Xiaoyu.

[How could it be her? This is defying the heavens!]

[A truly famous diva, oh my god.]

[Wasn't she supposed to be married to a rich man and a stay-at-home mom? Why is she back out there, trying to make money again?]

[Exactly, he hasn't sung in so many years, his singing skills are definitely not what they used to be. There's nothing to look forward to.]

[Get lost! When Deng Xiaoyu was dominating the music scene, you were still sucking on a pacifier.]

At her peak, her albums ranked in the top three in sales for two consecutive years.

This is a top-tier project.

Deng Xiaoyu is a singer from Hong Kong, so calling her a diva might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Everyone knows that the area is famous for producing superstars.

It's like it's free.

They caught a few veteran artists, who were either superstars or top celebrities.

They're either superstars or movie stars.

However, Deng Xiaoyu is indeed very famous.

Although he retired for a few years, he has not faded into obscurity at all.

Most viewers recognize her.

Then the fourth singer appeared.

[Wei Lei?]

[Has the production team gone mad? They invited a top-tier celebrity? My goodness!]

My mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the show, and I said Wei Lei was there, so she knelt down too.

【666666! 】

[Idol, you need to leave quickly! The production team's budget is running out, you need to leave quickly!]

With Wei Xiaobao's arrival, this season's competition is suddenly a foregone conclusion; he's the undisputed champion.

.. .. ....

That's not necessarily true. If we're talking about singing ability, none of the singers here are weak.

"Bullshit! Go look at the music charts; three of the top ten songs are his. If he doesn't sweep them all, I'll eat shit on live stream."
