The rich and powerful: Pretty Stars

Chapter 45 Announcing the Results of the Competition
Sedum's home in Linjiang City.

The huge living room was dark, only the loud advertisements were playing on the big screen of the TV.

Sedum sat on the sofa in front of the TV with a glass of red wine in his hand, his expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

It's just that he didn't see him taking a sip of the red wine in his hand for a long time.

Gu Zhenzhen's delicate face had just disappeared from the TV in front of him. Although he was staring at the TV, his eyes seemed so empty, and he didn't know where he was wandering.

Gu Zhenzhen's song "Forever as the First Time" and Ouyang Yanling's last sentence: "I like it very much."

……

……

The scene of the talent show of "Emperor Concubine of the Harem".

The commercial was over, and the ten contestants on the scene had already changed their clothes and lined up on the stage.

The hosts Bai Zimeng and Xia Chen stood in front of them and raised their microphones.

"Welcome to continue to watch the first knockout round of the top ten competition of the large-scale talent show "Emperor of the Harem". Now the off-site SMS voting channel has been officially closed. The wonderful performance of the strong players." The host Xia Chen pointed to the big screen behind him.

After the players' review clip was played, a staff member of the program team stepped onto the stage and handed a card to Xia Chen.

Xia Chen glanced at the card in his hand, and opened his eyes exaggeratedly.Then he handed the card to Bai Zimeng beside him and said, "Zimeng, at such an exciting moment, it's up to you to announce the results."

Bai Zimeng took it with a smile, and jokingly said, "Otherwise, why do people say that men's tolerance is much weaker than women's?"

There was laughter from the audience.

Bai Zimeng looked at the card in his hand and read: "The first thing to announce is the No. 1 of tonight's top ten contestants in the off-site text message voting. She is..." Bai Zimeng deliberately lengthened his voice, and waited until the drums that set off the atmosphere ended, Say it: "No. [-] contestant Yu Lili!"

A pure-looking woman walked out from the contestants and waved to the audience with a smile on her face.

The three judges sitting on the judging table under the stage were all shocked. How could it be her?
Contestant No. [-] You Lili was the one who cried the most tonight. She chose an ancient poem about an ancient woman guarding her boudoir alone.Although the content of the poem does contain grievances and sorrows, her performance did not reflect those at all, but instead patronized hoarse voices and burst into tears.All three judges felt that she was too superficial and did not match the artistic conception of the poem at all.

At this time, some people in the audience began to whisper and point at the stage.

"The following is the No. 1 score by the judges on the scene tonight. She is...Let's congratulate No. [-] contestant Gu Zhenzhen!" Bai Zimeng pointed in the direction where Gu Zhenzhen was standing.

Gu Zhenzhen walked to You Lili with a smile and waved to everyone.

Different from the slightly deserted scene when Yu Lili was announced just now, the judges' seat and audience seats gave out heartfelt applause at this time.

A trace of displeasure quickly flashed across You Lili's innocent face, but it was quickly submerged in her stylized smile.

The hosts Bai Zimeng and Xia Chen continued to announce the ranking of the remaining eight contestants, and the specific votes of each contestant appeared on the big screen behind them.

Gu Zhenzhen ranked second in the number of off-site SMS votes, tens of thousands of votes behind No.1 Yu Lili.

However, the judges on the spot scored only her with three ten points, and she was the only one with a perfect score in the audience.

In the end, the final result was obtained after combining the scores of the on-site judges and the number of SMS votes outside the venue. You Lili was No.1 in the top ten knockout round tonight, and Gu Zhenzhen ranked second. They joined hands with three other contestants to enter the "Emperor Harem" Concubine" draft five finalists, while the remaining five contestants missed the following finals.

Yuan Yumei, who was on the judging panel, looked a little down at this moment. She is a director who has very strict requirements on the works she directs. It is precisely because of this that her works are called "poetic dramas".

But this time, because she really liked the script of "The Empress of the Harem", she took over as the director, but she didn't expect that the investor had already chosen the male and female protagonists without authorization.She was quite critical of this at first, but later the whole team persuaded her that the investor invested a huge amount this time, and she could shoot whatever she wanted without worrying about the budget.In addition, the candidates for the male and female protagonists have been really popular in recent years, and they will definitely bring a certain ratings guarantee to this drama, so she gave up on it.

Later, the investor proposed to hold a large-scale audition nationwide to select actors for the crew of "The Empress of the Harem". This will also make "The Empress of the Harem" attract everyone's attention and make it popular before it is shot.Moreover, the investor also asked her to be a judge, and the right to choose other judges was also handed over to her.

She originally thought that this time she could do it according to her own preferences. After all, "The Empress of the Harem" is a female drama, and besides the heroine, there are many important female roles.But she didn't expect that the champion of the first knockout round of the top ten competition was not the one in her heart, which made her very upset. Are the audience who voted for Yu Lili blind?
No, no, her vote count is so disparate from the next few contestants, there must be something tricky about it.Yuan Yumei felt that the competition system of the program group was too shitty, and the off-site SMS voting accounted for more than half of the final results, so why should she be a judge?
She turned her head depressed and said to Ouyang Yanling beside her, "What's the result? You also think that Gu Zhenxi should be No.1 tonight, right?"

Ouyang Yanling nodded, looked at Gu Zhenzhen, who was also smiling happily after the results were announced on the stage, and replied: "Director Yuan doesn't really need to care about these, anyway, the right to assign roles in the future is in your hands, tonight's victory or defeat doesn't mean anything." What."

After hearing this, Yuan Yumei finally smiled, patted Ouyang Yanling's shoulder and said in a low voice, "You really treat me with a temper, we must work together in the future."

Ouyang Yanling smiled in agreement.

He turned his head to look at the elf-like Gu Zhenzhen on the stage, and said in his heart.

Cherish, no matter what the result is, you will always be No.1 in my heart.

……

……

Backstage of the "Emperor Concubine in the Harem" talent show.

After the live broadcast, all ten contestants went backstage to remove their makeup.

Peter sat on the chair behind Gu Zhenzhen and said to her, "Treasure, in terms of strength, you are definitely the No. Moisture."

At this time, a staff member next to Peter interjected softly, "I heard that Yu Lili is the mistress of a coal boss here. Her votes must have been paid for by the coal boss."

An expression of "See? I knew it!!" appeared on Peter's face, and then he quickly turned his head to ask the source of the staff member who interrupted just now.

While taking off her makeup, Gu Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing as she looked at the two cooing behind her in the mirror.

"I said you two, don't gossip like this, okay? This is in the backstage, not in our company's office, and there are so many people around, you are not afraid of being heard by others." Gu Zhenzhen reminded the two who talked more and more high people.

"What are you afraid of? Since she dares to do it, she is not afraid of what others will say. Besides, sister Cherish should have won the championship tonight. Isn't that right, Brother P?" The staff member who interrupted was a young girl, He has a round face and short hair combed to the ears.

Most of the staff in Peter's working group are young people, so everyone's relationship is very harmonious. Peter doesn't put on airs either, and everyone younger than him calls him Brother P.

"Yes! That's right." Peter patted the girl's head approvingly.

Gu Zhenzhen couldn't laugh or cry, the two people sang together beside her, as if they were talking about cross talk.

"Isn't No.2 bad? Don't look down on No.2 so much, okay?" Gu Zhenzhen turned around and asked the two of them.

Before they could answer, Gu Zhenzhen saw You Lili walking towards them.

Peter followed Gu Zhen's eyes and frowned. What is she doing here?
With a triumphant smile on her face, Yu Lili came in front of them with her slender waist twisted, opened her mouth and said softly to Gu Zhen, "Congratulations, you won No.2, although I don't understand you tonight What the hell is that poem about."

Peter didn't expect her to speak provocatively, and when he was about to retort, he was stopped by Gu Zhenzhen beside him.

Gu Zhenzhen turned around slowly and continued to remove makeup in the mirror, without looking at You Lili standing behind her, she wiped the lip gloss on her lower lips with a cotton pad and said, "Did you come here specially to congratulate me? Or did Director Yuan explain that damn thing just now, but your head didn't understand, so you came here to ask me for advice?"

Peter secretly applauded Gu Zhenzhen in his heart.

"You!" You Lili raised her phoenix eyes, and was choked by Gu Zhenzhen for a while, speechless.

Peter and the staff around him watched her happily.

You Lili stretched out her hand to straighten the broken hair on her forehead, silently accumulating her fighting strength, and said to Gu Zhenzhen in the mirror: "Our other top ten contestants are in the same pace, and they all choose the same ancient Chinese poems, but you are the only one who is special. It's different from others, if you choose a foreign poem, you don't know what kind of moth you will make in the next competition."

Gu Zhenzhen and Peter understood that she went deep into the enemy's rear to inquire about the military situation.

"Then thank you for your concern first. If you still don't understand what I'm performing in the next game, you can ask me again at that time." Gu Zhenzhen continued to tease her, still not looking at her.

"Even if the three judges gave you full marks tonight, it's not like you haven't beat me. I don't know why you are so arrogant when you are only No. 2." It was she who came here to provoke out of nowhere, but said it as if someone else had done something to her.

Gu Zhenzhen smiled instead of anger, and Yoyo counterattacked: "Just because one of the three judges is the chief director of "The Imperial Concubine in the Harem"."
