The waiting room instantly became quiet and filled with anticipation.
After the contestants took the stage to perform, the four mentors would vote. Those who received three votes would directly advance, two votes would be put on hold, and less than two votes would result in direct elimination.
It could be said that the contestants' fates were all in the hands of the four mentors.
Therefore, who these four mentors were was undoubtedly the matter everyone cared about most.
Chen Xin slowly said, "The first mentor, Wang Xinzhe."
Wow!
A burst of exclamations erupted from the waiting room.
"The production team actually invited Wang Xinzhe? The Prince of Love Songs from back in the day!"
"My idol, oh my god!"
"I wonder how Wang-laoshi's hairline is doing?"
Some of the older contestants couldn't help but get excited.
Chen Xin continued, "The second mentor, Zhang Zheng."
Huo!
Now most people started to discuss.
"Zhang Zheng is here too? I just want to ask if Fang Yue is here?"
"Shameless, what's the difference between you and Cao Cao?! Is Fang Yue here?"
"Hairline Wang, Leather Pants Zhang, this combo is amazing!"
Chen Xin said again, "The third mentor, Zhou Yiyi."
"What? Zhou Yiyi?"
"Can he even sing?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, he's a top star, we can't afford to offend him!"
As soon as Zhou Yiyi's name was announced, the contestants were a little surprised.
They didn't expect a show like Pure Voice, which focused on music itself, to invite a流量 (popular star) as a mentor.
It just goes to show that even the purest shows have to bow to popularity for ratings.
While the people around were discussing animatedly, even indignantly, Lin Mu's eyes lit up.
Zhou Yiyi is actually a mentor on this show?
Is this what they call running into an old enemy?
Zhou Yiyi, that trash who sold a persona to deceive fans and indirectly put Fatty's family in a difficult situation, is naturally Lin Mu's adversary.
Perhaps he could take this opportunity to find some dirt on Zhou Yiyi?
As Lin Mu was thinking, the director's voice continued to reach his ears:
"The fourth mentor, Feng Bingbing."
Instantly, a noisy wave swept through the waiting room.
The male contestants got excited.
"My goddess is actually here?"
"That's great, I must perform well! What if the goddess takes a liking to me?"
"You're a woman, how could Feng Bingbing take a liking to you?"
"You don't understand, women and women are true love!"
The female contestants were even more excited.
In the large waiting room, only one person fell into a long silence.
Lin Mu silently took out his phone and flipped to the chat records of his conversation with Feng Bingbing that night:
"Senior, I just signed a show contract, guess what it is?"
"I'm a bit tired, going to sleep, goodnight."
So, judging by the timeline, Feng Bingbing should have been signing with Jiangrong Satellite TV and the Pure Voice production team that night?
She wanted to tell me about it, but I was asleep.
What kind of mess is this?!
Lin Mu felt depressed.
It would be much harder to keep a low profile now.
After all, he and Feng Bingbing had collaborated together in the art club during college, and Feng Bingbing was very familiar with his voice.
If she recognized him on stage later, given her personality, who knows what kind of trouble she might stir up.
If she were to confess to him again on the show, the situation would be even more disastrous.
I'm a paparazzo, and you're a big star. We're natural enemies!
If the two of us got together, pigs could climb trees!
No way.
Should I just run away again?
Lin Mu's expression flickered as he looked around, preparing to quietly get up and escape.
He bent down and walked towards the door, only for a pair of legs in black stockings to appear on the floor.
"Little brother, are you in a hurry to pee? Need me to take you to the restroom?"
Looking up, he saw that Zisu had somehow entered.
This woman was a bit too seductive, and her OL uniform was too eye-catching. Lin Mu didn't want to stand with her, but she was blocking the doorway.
"No need, I was just walking around."
Lin Mu could only give a perfunctory reply and quickly returned to his corner to sit down.
Damn it, looks like running away won't work.
Then I'll have to change the song.
Originally, the song he planned to sing today was "Blue and White Porcelain," a favorite among the masses, but the vocal range was too young and too suited to his voice.
Even if he changed his voice on stage, it would be easy to give himself away.
Feng's junior has very sharp ears!
Moreover, Feng Bingbing might have already heard his preliminary round song, "Quiet," from the production team. She's probably suspecting "Dawei Tianlong's" identity right now.
Therefore, he had to choose an old-fashioned song.
Change the style, change the voice.
Fortunately, Feng Bingbing knew in college that Lin Mu sang off-key. If he sang an older-sounding song on stage later, it would likely dispel her doubts.
Why is this woman so persistent?
After Chen Xin finished introducing the four mentors, she cut off the video.
Soon, staff members came out to have each contestant draw a number plate.
The stage names they drew during the preliminary round would be used, and if there were any duplicates, they would be redrawn on the spot.
Lin Mu was lucky; his "Dawei Tianlong" didn't have any duplicates.
At this moment, Zisu came over carrying a large box, smiling as she walked up to Lin Mu:
"Little brother, come and draw one."
This woman was too seductive, her walk was too alluring, catching everyone's eye.
Her appearance alone outshone the meticulously dressed Chi Haiyuan, drawing the attention of more than half the people in the room.
Lin Mu was a bit speechless. He raised his hand to cover his face, and with the other hand, which was covering his eyes, he fumbled for a long time without being able to find the round hole on the cardboard box.
"Little brother, the hole is here."
Zisu giggled charmingly twice, grabbed Lin Mu's hand, and guided it into the hole.
Although Lin Mu covered his face, he could still feel dozens of burning gazes directed at him.
He quickly grabbed a plastic ball and handed it to Zisu, then sat down with his head in his hands, trying to avoid the others' sight.
"Dawei Tianlong contestant, you're number 11, please sign here."
Zisu thought Lin Mu was shy, her laughter becoming even more charming as she handed him a form and pointed to the column labeled "Dawei Tianlong."
"Sign your name here."
Lin Mu quickly signed and glanced at the form, which listed the "stage names" of all 100 contestants.
He noticed that Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai were even listed, and even Xu Xian.
If he encountered Xu Xian later, would that count as a showdown between "love rivals"?
If he met Xiao Bai or Xiao Qing, wouldn't that be a fight between a couple or a husband arguing with his concubine?
He wondered who came up with these stage names; they were truly in bad taste.
"Hey, Xiao Qing is that woman, the one dressed most provocatively."
Seeing Lin Mu staring at these two stage names, Zisu whispered.
Following the direction of her finger, Lin Mu immediately saw Chi Yuting, who was heavily made up.
It was too coincidental that Chi Haiyuan's stage name was Xiao Qing.
"As for Xiao Bai..."
Zisu chuckled lightly and gestured with her eyes towards a direction where the "God of Gamblers" BGM was playing.
Lin Mu froze for a moment.
Xiao Bai was Wu Tian?
This guy actually went and picked a female artist name during the preliminary round?
Tsk, tsk, the world is going downhill, filled with effeminate weaklings!
Lin Mu clicked his tongue in amazement, completely forgetting that he himself had almost picked a female artist name back then.
"Little brother, you're so cute."
Zisu suddenly lowered her head, her tender lips brushing against Lin Mu's ear as she breathed out like an orchid.
Lin Mu expressionlessly shoved the list into her hand, turned his back, and continued to cover his face.
His hand suddenly slipped, and a note was slipped into it.
Lin Mu looked and saw that the note had a phone number written on it, followed by a little heart.
He looked up at Zisu. The young lady winked at him and walked away with a giggle.
Lin Mu thought about it and put the note in his pocket.
This young lady seemed a bit off in the head, and perhaps she might be useful to him in the future.
At this moment, when Zisu walked up to the next contestant, her expression immediately turned robotic, and she said in a flat voice:
"Please draw your number tag."
The male contestant, full of anticipation, was stunned. Under Zisu's cold gaze, he could only awkwardly reach out and draw a number.
Lin Mu secretly glanced towards Chi Yuting. Chi Haiyuan was busy casting his net at the moment and hadn't noticed him.
He let out a slight sigh of relief. As long as Chi Yuting didn't see him, his identity wouldn't be exposed.
As for Feng Bingbing, it would depend on the situation when he went on stage later.
