Chapter 559: Chapter 559 Education Issues (3)

"Welcome to ’I’m the Best’, the musical talent show, I’m your host Xu Qingyun. To my left are the eight judges of the competition, they are Starlight Award’s Best Actor Qin Jiran, Starlight Award’s Best Director Guo Zekai, the goddess-level actress Fan Linger, the King of Love Songs Zhang Zhongjian, the soulful composer Yao Ge, the soprano diva Huo Yinlin, the professor of Classical Music Wang Kaiyun, and the gold-medal agent Du Wen. Let’s give them a big round of applause!"

Warm applause filled the air. Qin Jiran today was also in a suit, but instead of the usual pure black, he wore a three-piece grey suit, which made him look less stern and more gentlemanly. Every move he made was infused with elegance and grace.

The competition began, and to ensure fairness, grouping was done by drawing lots on the spot. Groups one and two each had four numbers, while the rest had three. The sixty-two contestants took turns drawing lots, and after that, they sat in the circled areas on the stage according to their numbers, waiting for the competition to start.

Qin Jiran’s focus was on four contestants named Wu Xing, Li Tianchao, Leng Yue, and Tang Ya. Among them, Wu Xing was the one who had helped a lost child find their way home, and Tang Ya was the heroine who had sent a thief flying with a few punches and kicks. These contestants, whom Qin Jiran had his eyes on, were very promising, not only in singing but also in their performances. Especially Tang Ya, a dance major student, had excellent abilities in all respects.

The contest started with the first group. The contestants sang songs, danced, and some did both simultaneously. There were also a few who performed live, whether it be a drama or a scene, and some even performed acrobatics. Although varied in type, the competition was very interesting when put together, at least the audience seemed to enjoy it very much.

During the third round, Wu Xing took the stage. He was a singer-songwriter, and ever since the auditions had begun, he had been competing with his own compositions, which remained true this time as well. His song "I Can Do Anything" resonated throughout the venue, earning applause from all the spectators, which was extremely enthusiastic.

"Brother Qin, this must be one of the contestants you fancy," Fan Linger, sitting next to Qin Jiran, remarked confidently after seeing the performance. She had been paying close attention to this contestant as well.

In order not to influence the judges’ choices, Qin Jiran had not disclosed his favorite contestants but had announced he would select about four people to form a group. This led to Fan Linger’s speculation. Of course, the agent Du Wen also knew about these individuals but chose to keep silent.

"Quite impressive, isn’t it?" Qin Jiran’s response was tantamount to an acknowledgment. Up to this point in the competition, the seated judges were all professionals who could naturally discern the contestants’ quality.

After the contestants’ performances ended, it was time for the judges and the audience to vote. Seven out of the eight judges voted, with only the professor of classical music abstaining. Out of the five hundred audience members present, four hundred and three votes were cast in favor, so it seemed certain that he would win without a problem.

Following that, Li Tianchao and Leng Yue each had their turn. Li Tianchao was a classical dance student, having studied classical dance since childhood, and was quite accomplished. His performance, "Dazzling Ethnic Dance," also received warm applause from the entire audience and likewise secured a high number of votes to win in the group competition.

Leng Yue appeared in the ninth group. He was a student of musical instruments, majoring in piano but also proficient in the violin and saxophone, and was said to have studied classical instruments extensively, having even won a first prize in an international competition with his erhu solo. He was certainly a very capable contestant. This time, his competition performance was a piano solo composed by himself, named "Sleepwalking." The style of the piece was very playful and lively, creating an impression that the sleepwalker was not quietly walking but rather engaging in a joyful and funny situation.
