Chapter 252 Tides Rise
Chapter 252 Tides Rise
The stage lights gradually dimmed.
The four contestants stood in the center of the stage, nervously awaiting the announcement of the competition results.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties stepped onto the stage.
He was dressed in a well-fitting suit, handsome, and spoke fluently and efficiently.
"Distinguished audience members, judges, and contestants,"
The host said with a smile,
"To ensure the fairness of the competition, we used a high-tech device—a song pitch tester."
"It can accurately measure the pitch performance of each contestant."
The audience members nodded in approval, showing their approval of this fair judging method.
The host continued:
"Next, I will announce the scores of each player in turn."
"First, there's the pitch score."
The host cleared his throat, his voice loud and clear.
"After testing: "
Hao Meigui scored 9.5 points, Gong Xiaoxiao scored 9.3 points, Zhao Wanqing scored 9.6 points, and Qiu Ziyue scored 9.8 points.
Upon hearing her score, Hao Meigui frowned slightly, but did not show much emotional fluctuation.
Gong Xiaoxiao showed a hint of regret, while Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Ziyue seemed quite satisfied.
"Next is the timbre score, which is determined by audience votes."
The host continued,
According to the audience voting results:
Hao Meigui scored 9.2 points, Gong Xiaoxiao scored 9.5 points, Zhao Wanqing scored 9.7 points, and Qiu Ziyue scored 9.8 points.
A murmur rippled through the audience, clearly satisfied with the scores.
Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing smiled at each other, their eyes filled with encouragement and support.
"Finally, the stage performance is scored by the judges."
The host paused, his tone becoming more serious.
"Hao Meigui scored 9.5 points."
Gong Xiaoxiao scored 9.3 points.
Zhao Wanqing scored 9.6 points.
Qiu Ziyue scored 9.9 points.
At this moment, all eyes were on Qiu Ziyue.
She lowered her head slightly, a shy smile on her face.
"Now, we will combine the scores from the three judges for a comprehensive evaluation."
The host took out a piece of paper, carefully checked the data, and then said...
"After comprehensive evaluation, the final rankings for the first round of the singing competition are as follows:"
The host paused for a moment, then raised his voice:
"First place, Qiu Ziyue!"
A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
Tears of emotion welled up in Qiu Ziyue's eyes. She took a deep breath and bowed to the audience in gratitude.
Zhao Wanqing applauded for her from the side, her face full of pride and satisfaction.
Hao Meigui stood aside, feeling somewhat unwilling, but she knew that the result of this competition was indisputable.
The data from the pitch meter, the audience votes, and the judges' scores are all very objective.
She originally wanted to find fault, but seeing Qiu Ziyue's outstanding performance and impeccable results, she changed her mind.
She ultimately chose to keep quiet and silently accepted the outcome.
"Congratulations, Qiu Ziyue."
Hao Meigui said softly, though her tone still carried a hint of reluctance, she still reached out to congratulate Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue smiled and responded politely:
"Thank you for your blessing, Rose Hao."
Zhao Wanqing stepped forward and hugged Qiu Ziyue tightly.
You are so amazing!
She said excitedly,
"We are all the best!"
Qiu Ziyue nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Qiu Ziyue hugged Gong Xiaoxiao tightly and said:
"Xiaoxiao, you are really excellent. We are still students. As long as you work hard, your brilliance will be even more dazzling."
"Thank you for your encouragement, I will continue to work hard."
Gong Xiaoxiao responded politely.
At this moment, both the joy of victory and the resentment of defeat temporarily came to a halt under the spotlight.
The four contestants encouraged each other and looked forward to the next round of the competition.
With the successful conclusion of this singing competition, several waves of enthusiasm have swept through Z City.
Qiu Ziyue's performance not only won the audience's favor, but also attracted the attention of many industry giants.
First, major record companies extended olive branches to Qiu Ziyue, hoping to sign her and cultivate her into a new generation of music stars.
Next up are the various dance institutions.
They recognized Qiu Ziyue's stage presence and potential and offered her a high salary to become a dance teacher.
Moreover, film companies also took notice.
Many companies extended invitations to Qiu Ziyue, hoping she would join their companies and participate in the filming of their film and television works.
Despite so many opportunities and temptations, Qiu Ziyue remained unusually calm.
"I'm still studying, and I love campus life in the ivory tower."
Qiu Ziyue said in an interview,
"I have already signed with Ziyue Pictures and am not considering any other signings for the time being."
"But I will make a decision based on my own development in the future. For now, completing the competition is my top priority."
Qiu Ziyue's response was both polite and firm, which impressed many companies, but also forced them to wait for the time being.
Of course, it wasn't just Qiu Ziyue who received attention.
Hao Meigui, Gong Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Wanqing also received offers from some companies.
Because of her unique style, Hao Meigui was noticed by several small entertainment companies;
Gong Xiaoxiao attracted the attention of some advertisers because of her sweet image;
Zhao Wanqing has also received invitations from some dance institutions thanks to her stage presence.
Qi Yuxuan witnessed all these changes and was filled with emotion.
"My female devil can stir up a storm wherever she goes. Wherever she is, there is excitement."
He muttered to himself.
As Qiu Ziyue's husband and boss, Qi Yuxuan was well aware of Qiu Ziyue's strength and charm.
Seeing her achieve such great success in such a short time, he felt both proud and somewhat helpless.
After all, Qiu Ziyue's growth rate exceeded his expectations.
However, this competition also triggered a surge of dark undercurrents in society that were not easily detected.
Black Third Master from Z City was also watching the program in an extremely secluded villa.
Don't let his nickname "Black Third Master" fool you; he's not actually black. It's just that he's famous in the black market, and that's the name others gave him.
He is a very charming man nearing 50, 180cm tall, with a handsome and cool face.
He was just a pitiful person. His parents died before he was ten years old, and he dropped out of school to hang out with a group of hooligans in society.
He carved out a path through bloodshed and ruthlessness, becoming a powerful figure with influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
He was ruthless and perverse, cold-blooded and cruel, and greedy and lustful.
In Z city alone, he kept five mistresses, and for any other woman he fancied, he spent lavishly on her and indulged in pleasure.
But after the initial excitement and novelty wore off, he spent some money to appease them.
At this moment, he held a wine glass in his hand, drinking while watching the program.
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's stunning beauty, he unconsciously said:
"This Qiu Ziyue is great. She sings well, dances well, and is pretty too. I'll sleep with her sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, the underlings quickly tried to curry favor, saying:
"Boss, I heard that Qiu Ziyue is still in high school."
"Haha, that's even better, she's still a greenhorn," Black Third Master said with a wicked grin.
"Go, call DK Records and tell them to sign Qiu Ziyue. They'll agree to any conditions Qiu Ziyue sets."
“Yes, Third Master,” the underling replied.
"What woman in the world doesn't love money?" Black Third Master said, swirling his wine glass.
