"Director Chen, we're good!"

"Alright, let's start!"

Jiangrong Satellite TV's second recording hall. The first match of the Top 100 competition for "Pure Voice" Season 2, a recording for the 100-to-80 elimination round, officially began.

At this moment, the four mentors were already seated in the four seats closest to the stage.

Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe sat in the middle, with Feng Bingbing and Zhou Yiyi on either side.

The original plan by the production team was to have Zhang Zheng and Feng Bingbing, the two most popular mentors, sit in the middle.

But Chen Xin feared another conflict between Feng Bingbing and Zhou Yiyi, so she placed them on the ends, further apart.

Feng Bingbing naturally understood Director Chen's intentions and hadn't acknowledged Zhou Yiyi since earlier.

Zhou Yiyi, however, had no idea what was going on and even went to strike up a conversation with Feng Bingbing before the recording started.

If Zhang Zheng hadn't pulled the idiot away in time, there might have been a scene of "Feng Yidao tearing apart a pretty boy" before the recording even began.

As the recording started, a beautiful host in an elegant long dress took the stage, and the live audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Among these audience members were people who had signed up online, as well as many extras hired by the production team.

These extras would help liven up the atmosphere during lulls.

Amidst the applause, the female host first read out a long list of sponsor names before introducing the four mentors.

Feng Bingbing was the most popular among the mentors. When she was introduced, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers.

Many people were shouting:

"My heart belongs to Bingbing."

"Bingbing, don't be sad, we love you!"

These were Feng Bingbing's fans comforting her after her failed confession at her concert.

The second most popular was Zhou Yiyi. Although the guy wasn't very bright, his delicate and beautiful face was indeed very appealing to young girls.

When he was introduced, it was a wave of screams from the female audience.

Although Leather Pants Zhang and Hairline Wang weren't as popular as the two new-generation idols, they still had the demeanor of veteran artists.

Especially Zhang Zheng, who was wearing a black sequined leather jacket, which drew cheerful laughter and applause from the audience.

Many people even shouted Fang Yue's name.

The mentors' appearances quickly heated up the atmosphere.

The host didn't waste any time and directly announced the first contestant to take the stage:

"Please welcome contestant 'I Am Just Playing' with their performance: Beach Lovers."

People instinctively looked towards Feng Bingbing, as it was her song.

Zhang Zheng chuckled and said to Feng Bingbing, "Starting off with one of Little Feng's fans already."

Wang Xinzhe also quipped, "I like this song."

Zhou Yiyi, from afar, still tried his luck: "The song is good, and the singer is even better."

Feng Bingbing ignored the trash and just smiled at Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe before turning her gaze to the stage.

At this moment, the stage lights dimmed. A moment later, when the lights brightened again, the stage was covered by a curtain.

Audiences familiar with "Pure Voice" knew that this meant a contestant was on stage.

When each contestant performed, the stage would be covered by a curtain to prevent the mentors and audience from seeing them.

This was also one of the show's biggest draws.

Soon, music began to play on stage.

The contestant "I Am Just Playing" also started their performance.

Inside the recording hall, dozens of cameras captured the entire scene from different angles, transmitting it in real-time to the monitoring screens of the directing team.

"Director Chen, Feng Bingbing's state seems a bit off?"

The assistant director said to Chen Xin.

"Mm."

Chen Xin stared at the monitor, watching the footage transmitted by the camera following Feng Bingbing.

She had actually noticed it earlier. Even when the host was introducing the mentors, although Feng Bingbing wore a smile and appeared elegant and composed, it wasn't the effect Chen Xin wanted, nor was it Feng Bingbing's usual style.

Feng Bingbing was young, beautiful, vibrant, and the type of person who dared to make a public confession at a concert. She should have been more lively, but now she seemed somewhat subdued.

Chen Xin frowned slightly. Was it because of the earlier conflict with Zhou Yiyi?

These popular young idols were truly all problematic. She should have known Zhou Yiyi was a pervert and shouldn't have invited him!

Chen Xin felt a bit annoyed and anxiously watched the situation unfold.

She had only guessed half of it.

Feng Bingbing's state of mind was indeed a bit affected, but not because of Zhou Yiyi. It was after she heard the song "Quiet" that Dawei Tianlong sang during the preliminaries.

"This person's voice sounds so much like Senior Lin."

"But Senior Lin can't sing?"

"No, I couldn't have misheard. This Dawei Tianlong must be Senior Lin!"

"If he's here to participate in the show, why didn't he tell me?"

"Is he trying to get into the entertainment industry so he can be with me? Senior, you don't have to do this, I can support you!"

At this moment, Feng Bingbing sat on the judges' panel, her mind racing with thoughts.

Soon, the performance on stage concluded, and the audience erupted in warm applause behind the thick curtain.

Although the performer couldn't be seen, one could tell from the sweet voice of this contestant, "I Am Just Playing," that the female singer was likely very beautiful.

"Xiao Feng, you're the one they're singing about. Why don't you give us your evaluation?"

At this point, Zhang Zheng said to Feng Bingbing with a smile.

Feng Bingbing calmly said, "I'm very happy that this contestant chose to sing my song. Your vocal range is also very suitable for this song, and I was almost completely immersed in your performance just now, but..."

After the classic "but," Feng Bingbing continued:

"Your first two lines weren't quite in tune. It might have been nerves. Unfortunately, this mistake made your performance less than perfect."

Before Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe could speak, Zhou Yiyi interjected:

"I completely agree with Bingbing. As expected of Mentor Bingbing, just like me, she noticed such a subtle mistake!"

Feng Bingbing rolled her eyes. Who was he calling Bingbing?

Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe were a bit speechless. Anyone could tell if the first two lines were out of tune, right?

Zhou Yiyi, your self-praise is too clumsy, and you're even trying to butter up Xiao Feng at the same time.

Didn't you see she almost beat you up?

These young idols nowadays, truly spoiled and undisciplined!

The two veterans cursed internally, but outwardly maintained their smiles:

"Contestant 'I Am Just Playing,' what is your dream?"

A mechanical female voice, altered by a voice changer, echoed from beneath the curtain:

"I want to kiss Feng Bingbing, is that okay?"

In the end, the contestant "I Am Just Playing" did not get her wish.

All four judges pressed their red buttons, directly eliminating her.

More contestants came on stage one after another. Feng Bingbing remained very calm, completely unlike her usual outgoing and cheerful self.

Zhou Yiyi kept trying to strike up a conversation with Feng Bingbing, but received no response at all.

Zhang Zheng and Wang Xinzhe occasionally smoothed things over in the middle, and the show managed to continue recording without any major incidents.

"Everyone says Feng Bingbing has a domineering personality, but it seems the rumors were wrong. She's actually quite a quiet girl."

Zhang Zheng, sitting next to Feng Bingbing, couldn't help but think.

At this moment, the host took the stage.

"The next contestant is named Dawei Tianlong. He will be performing an original song: 'Hill.'"
