Talent Treads on the Stage

How has Bai Youlou turned the show "The Voice" into what it is now?

The widely acknowledged biggest rival, the only contestant with the strength to become a hero and defeat the "Great Demon King," Zhang Xiaorong, is an artist from his company, and he also wrote her songs.

The widely acknowledged biggest victim, who the public thought should have given Bai Youlou a hard time, Zhen Dongjun, had long ago struck a backroom deal with him, and now they are hiding in a dark corner, letting out sinister laughs.

The hidden mini-boss, the host Xiao Liu, daughter of the Deputy Station Director, was easily won over by Bai Youlou. Although everyone involved are people of the martial world and likely won't have any follow-up issues, Host Xiao Liu herself is quite willing to offer Bai Youlou a bit of "small help."

As it stands, Bai Youlou is practically untouchable on "The Voice." While it's not exactly a case of him having his fingers in every pie, no one can really make things difficult for him anymore, or rather, they simply can't.

If we consider "The Voice" as a dungeon.

Bai Youlou has already cleared it ahead of time.

Alright, now the difficult part falls to the production team.

How should they wrap up this show?

The controversy surrounding "Miss Dong" is still raging online. As the foremost victim of this direct attack, Bai Youlou's reputation has once again plummeted.

An image of a bohemian rogue who messes around despite having some talent has been successfully established.

No one denies Bai Youlou's talent anymore; people are now debating just how low his moral standards are! Can he be considered the moral low ground of the entertainment industry?

The production team is struggling with how to handle this "morally bankrupt" contestant.

Fortunately, Zhen Dongjun has sent over a "great gift" at this moment!

Their reaction upon seeing the surveillance footage was far more intense than Bai Youlou's.

This made Zhen Dongjun feel like he was still living in the real world because when he showed this to the person involved, they surprisingly had no reaction and didn't care at all.

It made him doubt if he was still dreaming.

However, after exchanging information with the production team, the scope of their backroom deal expanded once more.

Upon learning that Zhen Dongjun had this valuable item, the production team immediately perked up!

Now, they could capitalize on any kind of popularity!

"It's true that the director has foresight; approving Bai Youlou for our show, turns out this kid was actually wronged. I knew something was off with Zhen Dongjun's attitude towards him!"

"Thanks to Director Chen, what's the little bit of popularity other shows get? Our show gets the biggest traffic! Let Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong PK in the finals, the buzz will be through the roof!"

"..."

Anyone can win when they have the advantage; it's hard to imagine these were the same people arguing a few days ago over the public opinion caused by Bai Youlou's song "Miss Dong."

At the time, they felt they were about to lose control of this "troublemaker" and were discussing whether to kick Bai Youlou out early.

But now... naturally, everyone is envisioning how to distribute rewards after the show's great success.

In fact, the recording progress of "The Voice" is already more than halfway done.

This is largely because nearly half of the show's content consists of the initial blind auditions, where contestants are chosen without seeing their faces.

This segment has extremely high viewership, and many audiences enjoy watching it.

In contrast, the later PK rounds have become somewhat generic, similar to other talent shows.

The focus is entirely on a few of the most highly anticipated contestants.

Shows like this have always been recorded and broadcast simultaneously. Several episodes have already aired, and the viewership ratings are average, mainly because there haven't been any truly explosive performances.

Although a few topics have trended on hot searches, they are largely inflated, with many being purchased by the production team.

However, the "The Voice" production team isn't worried at all because Bai Youlou and the others are scheduled to appear in the next episode.

But just then, a piece of "bad news" arrived.

Bai Youlou is withdrawing from the competition!

The reason given is quite valid: he needs to attend the Cannes Film Festival.

Although there's still some time before the official opening of the festival, Bai Youlou and Old Zhou need to go ahead of time to promote their film, and they are expected to stay there for at least half a month.

The current recording progress is that the top four contestants from each mentor's group have just been selected.

The next round of recording will be to select a champion from each group, followed by the ultimate PK.

In Zhen Dongjun's group, Bai Youlou and Long Ziqiang secured two of the top four spots.

The other two contestants in the same group who advanced were not happy at all because the next round is still an internal PK within the mentor's group, with four contestants from each group advancing to the finals.

They still have to select?

If it were before, indeed, there would have been no need to select. Although the contestants didn't know what was going on with Zhen Dongjun, his strong support for Bai Youlou was undeniable.

Everyone knew that Bai Youlou was definitely going to be the one to advance to the finals from Zhen Dongjun's group.

As for Long Ziqiang? This guy was unassuming. Although his strength was equally formidable, he was somewhat overshadowed by Bai Youlou, and his presence wasn't as strong.

Then, at this moment, Bai Youlou announced: "Brothers, I'll make way for your musical dreams."

The other two trainees in Zhen Dongjun's group were overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking, "Wow, is there such a good thing?!"

But amidst their joy, there was also a touch of sadness; what they had dreamed of seemed to be disdained by others.

Of course, there was no time to dwell on these feelings, as the finals stage awaited them! They just needed to defeat the opponent!

The two remaining contestants, who had been huddled together for warmth, immediately saw Bai Youlou as their biggest rival upon hearing he was leaving.

However, while the contestants were excited that the great devil was about to be kicked out, the production team was unwilling to let Bai Youlou go so easily.

If he left, how would the subsequent drama unfold? They couldn't let such a huge draw slip away!

Not long after, a lobbyist arrived.

But Bai Youlou never expected that the person the production team sent to persuade him would be the host Xiao Liu.

This made him wonder if his habit of visiting their home had been exposed.

"The production team thinks we have a good relationship and that I'm your little fan."

"How did they tell you to convince me not to leave?" Bai Youlou asked curiously.

Host Xiao Liu didn't hide anything, directly revealing her "bottom line."

pink.

"They are willing to support you as the champion of this season and can offer you a top-tier contract."

In just a few words, this girl laid bare all the conditions from the "The Voice" production team.

The person who had originally instructed her was supposed to reveal these conditions one by one to lure Bai Youlou in.

But what could host Xiao Liu do?

Her bottom line was already exposed.

"Come here, turn around."

"Oh, oh~"

After obediently shifting her "negotiation" posture, host Xiao Liu closed her eyes but didn't forget her mission.

"Can you really not stay? I was really looking forward to seeing Teacher Bai on the finals stage."

In response, Bai Youlou stated that he truly couldn't. To participate in the finals, he would need to stay for at least another week, which would delay him from selling his films.

Host Xiao Liu said nothing further. Sending her to persuade him was the production team's worst move.

Because she was completely unable to convince Bai Youlou; after multiple encounters, she was always the one who ended up being persuaded.

She could only close her eyes and sigh, "This stage has already been trampled under your talent."

Bai Youlou straightened his hands, his expression serious, and began to exert himself, "But I also brought it to a brand new height!"
