The rich and powerful: Pretty Stars

Chapter 43 The First Knockout Match
"Get out, don't make fun of me, just don't tell my dad." Lin Zhaoyang told her again.

"Okay, I know." Gu Zhenzhen agreed.

She held up the juice in her hand and said, "Come on, I respect you, congratulations on finally finding your love."

Lin Zhaoyang also happily raised his juice and clinked glasses with her: "I wish you success in winning the important role in "The Empress of the Harem". From now on, you will have smooth sailing in the entertainment industry, and finally a good harvest in your love and career!"

The two are happy to bless and celebrate each other's future.

Even though Gu Zhenzhen doesn't know whether her love will come back.

……

……

On Friday night, backstage of the "Emperor Concubine in the Harem" draft.

"Cherish, don't be nervous, it's okay." Peter comforted Gu Zhenzhen who was putting on makeup.

"Don't worry, I'm not nervous. But you, take it easy, you've told me so many times to not be nervous." Gu Zhenzhen comforted Peter in turn.

Peter, a gold medal manager, has been in the industry for so many years. He has never seen any big storms, but he doesn't know why. The days when I first entered the industry.

Today's game, he was even more nervous than Gu Zhenzhen, his little heart kept beating non-stop.

It was only when Gu Zhenzhen pointed it out that he realized that he had been chattering non-stop by her side.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said to Gu Zhenzhen, "Cherish, the other judge tonight is Ouyang Yanling, did you know that?"

When Gu Zhenzhen heard that name, her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. How could it be him?
Peter looked at her reaction, it seemed she didn't know.He thought she already knew about the relationship between them.

Although Ouyang Yanling made his debut in just over two years, but because of the literary film he made when he was in college, he won a best actor at a foreign film festival, and then became popular overnight.Coupled with his prudence and success in choosing films afterwards, he almost won several best actor in the shortest period of time, and was called a legendary figure in the history of film by the media.

In addition, he is very low-key, he basically does not accept interviews except for publicity, and he has never been on entertainment shows at all, and his only gossip over the years is Qiao Na.Therefore, in the hearts of the audience, he is both mysterious and curious, comparable to Takeshi Kaneshiro.

It is really a big gimmick that the program group of the "Emperor Concubine in the Harem" talent show invited him to be a judge. No wonder the third judge has been declared to be a big surprise.

"His role as a judge will be very beneficial to you, so you just need to perform normally." Peter remembered how nervous Ouyang Yanling was to Gu Zhenzhen on the set of "Duckweed Records". The relationship between them must be not good. Just a classmate in film school as simple as that.

Gu Zhenzhen didn't know what to respond, but just smiled faintly at Peter.

……

……

The three knockout matches of the top ten of "The Empress of the Harem" will be broadcast live on Linjiang Satellite TV, and the official website of "The Empress of the Harem" is also officially launched at this time, realizing the simultaneous live broadcast of the TV network.

Such a large draft event is really rare in the whole country.

The live broadcast was already buzzing with people. Although the top ten players hadn't officially determined their roles, after being selected and eliminated, each of them had a group of fans who supported them.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast begins.

The hosts of this talent show are two of the top two celebrities in Linjiang City.One is Bai Zimeng, an intellectual female host famous for talk shows, and the other is Xia Chen, a male host who is known as the originator of mainland entertainment show hosts.

After the two made a brief introduction to the show, they officially began to introduce the judges of tonight's competition.

First of all, the old artist Yu Tong is introduced. He has already decided to play the chief eunuch next to the emperor in "The Empress". He is an extremely important role throughout the whole play.Yuan Yumei, the chief director of "The Imperial Concubine in the Harem", appeared next. Amid everyone's applause, the two walked out from the side passage of the auditorium and waved to the enthusiastic audience.

After the two were seated, the host began to play tricks mysteriously.

"Everyone knows that there will be three judges tonight, and now two of them have made their debut, so guess who the other one will be?" said host Xia Chen.

The audience began to whisper to each other. Various media had given a lot of speculation about the identity of another mysterious guest before, but the results were all denied by the organizer.

"Okay, Xia Chen, it's about this time, don't hang on to the appetite of our dear audience." Bai Zimeng teased, "That superstar has been waiting there for a long time, let's greet him with the warmest applause." Let him come out." Bai Zimeng pointed to the exit of the aisle behind the auditorium, so everyone looked in the direction of her hand.

"Next, let's welcome tonight's third judge, Ouyang...Yan Ling!" The two hosts said together.

As soon as the words fell, a beam of strong light shone on the exit of the passage, and Ouyang Yanling walked from there dreamily in a pure white suit.

He is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and a pair of invincible long legs, he is simply a natural clothes hanger.Unlike the thick bangs that are popular among male actors in the entertainment industry, he has neat short hair and his forehead is completely exposed, showing his three-dimensional and handsome facial features.

With a modest smile on his face, under the spotlight, he stretched out his slender hands and waved to the audience on both sides.

The audience didn't expect the third judge to be Ouyang Yanling. When they saw him come out, they were instantly overwhelmed by his superstar demeanor. After a while, they burst into cheers, screams and thunderous applause.

Ouyang Yanling walked to the judges' seat, shook hands with Yu Tong and Yuan Yumei politely, and then sat down.

"We all know that Ouyang Yanling has never participated in this type of TV show, so what moved him this time and made him agree to be the judge of "The Empress of the Harem"? Let me first explore for you Secret." The host Bai Zimeng finished speaking to the camera and walked towards the judges' seat.

"Is it convenient to tell us the reason?" Bai Zimeng walked to Ouyang Yanling and asked.

Before Ouyang Yanling could reply, Yuan Yumei signaled that she had something to say, so Bai Zimeng reached out her hand to motion for her to speak first.

"Perhaps the audience friends don't know yet, Ouyang Yanling was once the No.1 choice for the male lead of "The Empress of the Harem". It's a pity that the filming time of this drama happened to conflict with his time, so it's a pity that I couldn't this time Cooperate with him." After Yuan Yumei finished speaking, she shook her head at Ouyang Yanling with regret, and continued: "Since the TV series cannot cooperate, I suggest that the program team invite him to be a judge, so that he can still be selected as the No. 1 actor Choose your concubine status."

The audience roared with laughter at Yuan Yumei's words.

Ouyang Yanling also smiled, raised the microphone in front of him and said, "Don't dare to do it, Mr. Yu and Director Yuan are both the main creators of "The Empress of the Harem", only I am an outsider. A very calm perspective to choose people who are really suitable for this drama."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Yanling turned sideways, and said to Yu Tong and Yuan Yumei: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Yu Lao and Director Yuan in the future."

There was once again warm applause from the audience.

Everyone was shocked by Ouyang Yanling's politeness and superstar demeanor, and a few girls even shouted "Ouyang Yanling, I love you!"

After a short greeting, the host announced the official start of the game.

First of all, the promo videos of the ten contestants were played on the big screen in turn.The ten girls have distinctive features, some are pretty, some are glamorous, some are bright, some are deserted, and they show off their beauty one by one in the very antique soundtrack.

When Ouyang Yanling saw Gu Zhenzhen's pretty face appearing on the big screen, a gentle smile finally appeared on his calm face.

In fact, the host just now asked him why he agreed to be the judge of the "Emperor Concubine" draft, and he didn't say one of the most important ones.That is, when he knew that Gu Zhenzhen had participated in this competition, he took the olive branch thrown at him by the program team without hesitation.

He has missed more than two years of her life, and he wants to be by her side and walk with her every step of the way.

After the promo video for the contestants was played, the host Xia Chen began to introduce the competition system tonight.

"Tonight is the first knockout match of the top ten ranking contest of the "Emperor Concubine in the Harem". It mainly tests the lines skills of the contestants. Each contestant prepares a poem or word for a recitation of the soundtrack of their own choice, and then follows the order of appearance drawn During this period, the audience friends in front of the TV can send text messages to the contestants to vote. After each contestant has finished performing, three judges will score. After all ten contestants have performed, we will combine the on-site judges' scoring and field The final result of the first knockout match of tonight's top ten match will be obtained through SMS votes from outside audiences."

After the introduction of the competition system, the first player appeared on the stage.

Peter and the others had been standing on the side of the stage watching the performances of other contestants. After the performances of several contestants, Peter couldn't help secretly admiring Gu Zhenzhen's prediction in his heart.

Sure enough, the first nine contestants all chose ancient Chinese poetry without exception, and the background music was also matched with ancient music.Apparently they wanted to get close to the background of the TV series "The Empress of the Harem", so they all tried their best to present themselves as a mournful palace woman, and most of the contestants burst into tears in response to the occasion.In this way, the styles of the nine players are inevitably similar, and the soundtracks of two of them are even exactly the same.

The audience at the scene was bombarded by them, and they couldn't help but feel that although these contestants were beautiful in appearance, their performance styles were too uniform, so they gradually began to lose interest.

Yu Tong and Yuan Yumei on the judging panel also frowned, while Ouyang Yanling secretly sweated for Gu Zhenzhen.
