Island Tycoon

Chapter 401 Registration Stage
Yuen Long Park.

"The first newcomer singing competition..." A group of young people are gathering to rest on the grass, and one of them is holding a copy of "Xin Bao". This news has just been read by him, and it immediately attracts the attention of others force.

"Let me see the singing competition." A young man with a big nose was very excited when he heard the news, and grabbed the newspaper directly.

"The new singing competition, the competition area is divided into three general areas: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and New Territories. First, there are four districts in Hong Kong Island, five districts in Kowloon Peninsula, and nine districts in the New Territories. A total of [-] districts will conduct auditions.

Contestants who successfully advance from the audition can participate in the finalists of the division. The top three in the division will successfully advance to the semi-finals in the next three regions. The semi-finals are divided into the top eight, the top sixteen, and the top 32.

Once the contestants are successfully selected to the top 1, they will have the opportunity to sign a contract with Huaxing Records, the organizer, and receive a financial subsidy of at least [-] yuan.

Sponsors of this competition: Huaxing Records, Qingdeng Entertainment, TV Broadcasting Co., Ltd.Registration locations in each district..."

The big nose seemed to be bewitched, staring at the newspaper without blinking.The player on the side looked sideways and said, "Qi Zai, do you need to be so excited? Isn't it just a singing competition?"

"Why don't you be so excited!? Do you know what my nickname is?"

Big Nose pointed at himself, and said proudly: "The recognized prince of love songs in the [-]th district, if even a heavyweight like me doesn't participate in this singing competition, it will be a pity for the organizers this time." gone."

"You are the best at bragging." The playmate rolled his nose.Hong Kong Island is only divided into [-] districts. The [-]th district is recognized as the prince of love songs, but the big-nosed self-proclaimed one is the kind who doesn't draft.

And another player saw that Big Nose wanted to participate in this competition, so he patted him on the shoulder and said in support: "Don't tell me, Qizai's chance of being selected is still not small. How did he say that when he was studying, he used to sing campus songs?" No.2 of the game."

"Hey, this kind of guy is called a good brother." Big Nose hugged the player's shoulders, and said with disdain for the player just now: "A person like you who only hurts a friend's self-confidence is simply the worst friend among bad friends." .”

"Okay, since you are so confident. Let's not talk about the championship, runner-up, and third place. If you have the ability, you will be selected for the final of the quarterfinals." The player said angrily.

It's not that he doesn't look down on his friends, but that they like to fight each other.But for Big Nose to participate in the singing competition, he still hopes that the other party can achieve results.

"Wait and see." Big Nose said confidently.

……

In the afternoon, Xingyun Tea Restaurant.

A boy dressed as a student walked in, and the aunt mopping the floor in the restaurant saw him, and immediately got acquainted with him and said, "Jianzi, are you here to work part-time again?"

"Yeah, anyway, I don't have anything to do after school, so I can earn some pocket money and spend it myself." Jianzai showed a friendly smile, and then greeted the boss who was counting at the cashier: "Boss, what do you want me to do today?" of?"

"Jianzi, you are here. Help me go to the kitchen to clean the dishes first." The boss is around 60 years old, very thin and small, wearing a pair of reading glasses. He looks like a cultural person, especially like a teacher one type.

"No problem, I'll go to work first." Jianzai rolled up his clothes and walked directly to the kitchen.Originally, he showed his smile in front of others, but the moment he turned his back, it was full of bitterness and helplessness.

The reason why he came out to work part-time was to earn pocket money, this was just an excuse he made up.The real reason is to keep his education. It is said that the children of poor families start their own families early, and his current tuition is paid for by working and studying.

Now he is relatively relaxed, and when he graduates from Form [-] next year, he will have to find a full-time job.

In addition to supporting himself, he also has to pay for the basic necessities of the family, including the tuition fees for his younger brother to go to school. The pressure is really heavy, but what else can he do besides bearing it silently?
"Well, come out after washing those dishes, and I will pay your wages for the past few days." The boss raised his hand and said.

As the boss is an old ghost, he can't see Jianzi's real problem, and only a person like Aunt Sweeper who doesn't have much education will believe that he is here to earn pocket money.

However, regarding Jianzi's problem, the boss doesn't mean to help if he can. These things are not so easy to help. The only thing he can do now is to take care of him more.

For example, when the tea restaurant is relatively free, the boss will ask Jianzi to leave work earlier.Although he knew that even if he got off work early, he would definitely not go home and rest directly, but would use his free time to find another part-time job at night.

Jianzai's hands and feet are very nimble, or he has no time to neglect.After cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, he took over the wages that the boss had settled for him, and silently kept his gratitude in his heart, so he cheered up and greeted the guests who entered.

Until the end of the dining period, Jianzai was about to leave here. When he went to the bar to work as a part-time waiter, the boss who had been sitting at the cashier motioned him to come over, and started the topic and asked, "Jianzai, did you read the newspaper today?"

"No, what's the matter?" Jianzi cocked his lips. Newspapers are the main thing to pass the time in this era, but for him, it is not whether he has the habit of reading newspapers, but that he has no time to read newspapers at all.

"Well, here it is."

The boss picked up the newspaper on the side, pointed to one of the sections and said, "There is a record company holding a singing competition for newcomers. I see that you usually sing when you are working, and you don't have much to do yourself. If you are interested, try it." give it a try.

The boss's words took care of Jianzai's feelings very much, and did not make him feel ugly at all, and added a sentence after that: "I want to participate."

"Singing competition for newcomers?" Jianzai took the newspaper, but instead of checking the content, he looked at the boss.It would be a lie for Pizza to say that he is not interested, because his hobby is singing, which is the kind he loves most.

It's a pity, he really can't spare so much time to waste, Jianzai sighed secretly, and found an excuse for himself: "Actually, I usually have a lot of homework to do."

"It's just homework. It doesn't matter if you don't do it for a while. Doesn't the school still give you graduation?" The boss reminded Jianzai intentionally, and said, "This singing competition is different. If you win the championship, you will get a bonus of 100 million."

"100 million! Is it real or not?" Jianzai was startled, and looked at the newspaper in his hand seriously.If he can make money and be interested in it, then he must give it a try.

"It must be true, but the 100 million is more difficult to get, as are the 50 and 20 for the runner-up and third place."

The boss analyzed for Jianzi: "However, you don't have to win the championship, runner-up, third, and runner-up. As long as you can be selected for the top 1, you will have a financial subsidy of [-] yuan."

"Where is it written?" Jianzai scanned the content several times, but vaguely didn't see what the boss said.The reason was that his own mind was too chaotic, so chaotic that he couldn't read the words on the paper carefully.

"Well, it's here." The boss shook his head and laughed, pointing to one of the sections.

"Really!" Jianzai saw the rewards of the singing competition as he wished.

Leaving aside the rest, let's just say that if he is selected for the top sixteen.Then there is a financial subsidy of at least 1 yuan.It only costs [-] or [-] yuan a month to do a part-time job by myself, and occasionally I have time to do a second job.

Calculating the income of about 1000 yuan a month, it means that it will take ten months to save this sum of money, and even if there is no food or drink.

This 1 yuan can support the family's expenses for a year.And he will graduate from Form [-] next year, so he can spend more time to find a good job.Otherwise, he can only find a job at random and do it first.

"There is still half a month to sign up." Jianzai secretly began to calculate.

Just like the analysis given to him by the boss, participating in this singing competition will at most waste a few days of his time.During this period of time, I should be more compact and do a part-time job. It should not be difficult to spare a few days.

After making up his mind, Jianzai asked, "Boss, do you mind if I cut this application form?"

"Whatever you want, anyway, I've finished watching." The boss said indifferently.

……

In the Mongkok nightclub at night, the lights on the stage are colorful, and there is only one protagonist who is on stage.

And in the background, a pair of sisters who were putting on makeup, the younger sister suddenly said excitedly: "Sister, read this news!"

"What!" My sister said impatiently.

Because of the sister's sudden exclamation, the lipstick in her hand was tilted, and it was drawn directly to the edge of her nose.Had to wipe it clean with a paper towel before picking up the newspaper.

After a brief glance at the above content, my sister asked: "The newcomer singing competition? Do you want to participate?"

"It's not me, it's us." The younger sister corrected the other party's rhetoric, emphasizing: "You see, everyone else participates alone. We are two sisters fighting together, so the chance of winning is naturally much greater."

"It's not that easy. Now it's a singing competition, and it's not more than the number of people." My sister didn't agree with her sister's words.

The younger sister didn't seem to hear it, she put her pink cheeks in both hands and imagined: "If one of us enters the semi-finals, we will really be prosperous. When the time comes to sign a contract with the record company, it is not enough to dress well and eat well. Why do we need to be here?" Kind of a place to sing."

"Since you want to participate so much, let's sign up together tomorrow. Anyway, the competition is held during the day, so it won't affect our work at night." My sister said flatly.

I don't think my sister is naive, because this competition is indeed an opportunity for them to show themselves.
