Idol Age was a variety show from Korea. It was a talent show inspired by the selection of trainees.
The contestants could participate individually or as a team. The main theme was singing. If they knew how to dance, they would naturally be more popular.
In the official competition, there were a total of fifty teams participating. The preliminary competition was divided into five rounds, with ten teams participating in each round.
In the preliminary round, the four instructors would give the contestants marks, and the top five would advance.
In the second round of the semi-finals, the participating teams were the twenty-five teams that won the preliminary round.
The second round of competition was divided into five rounds, with five teams in each round. Each team had to perform two acts in order.
It was also the instructors who gave the marks. This time, it was even stricter. Only the top two could enter the top ten. The elimination rate was frighteningly high. This was also a characteristic of the idol era, which was very exciting.
When it came to the top ten, the coaches could not give marks. They only gave comments and the 500 audience members would give marks.
The ten people were also divided into two groups. Each group of contestants performed two performances. The top two with the highest total score would enter the finals.
In the finals, the four winners of the two groups each had two performances.
The rules had changed again. It was now a text message voting, and the audience outside the venue would vote to determine the rankings.
To be honest, although the text message voting looked fair, it was actually the most unfair.
Forget about the trickery of canvassing for votes, changing the data was a piece of cake. This was to control the final ranking.
However, it didn't matter to Yang Ziyu. Was ranking important?
Most importantly, everyone would know Yang Ziyu.
After three mature seasons of the Idol Era, Mango TV was ambitious and prepared to broadcast it live.
Every Saturday night, there would be a primetime slot at 8 pm. It would last for an hour and a half. There would be a total of 13 shows, and it would take 13 weeks to finish broadcasting.
When Idol Age's broadcast time was fixed, not to mention other variety shows, even some of the more popular TV series had adjusted their schedules, afraid of colliding with this ace variety show.
As they waited backstage, the contestants didn't interact much. After all, they were all newcomers and didn't know each other. No one forced themselves to act tough just because their artiste company had a strong background.
This was related to their debut, and everyone had been warned not to cause any trouble.
Therefore, there was nothing for Yang Ziyu to do backstage. He could only focus on the television.
The backstage waiting hall was a lounge that was about 100 square meters in size. There were large screens on the walls for the live broadcast of the program.
Sitting on the sofa, Yang Ziyu was playing the zither in boredom as he looked at the contestants.
Most of the contestants here were young and handsome.
However, so what if he was handsome? What was the point of putting on makeup? Wearing earrings and dying her hair yellow made her look disgusting.
There were also a few who walked in the rock and roll style. They wore ripped jeans, leather jackets inlaid with silver nails, and had a punk style. They were also narcissistic.
The woman, on the other hand, was dressed in a coquettish and slutty outfit, revealing her arms and wearing a short skirt. Her entire body was shiny.
This was the trend in this world.
To be honest, Yang Ziyu felt that it was unfair to win against an opponent of this level.
The four judges were also well-known figures in the industry.
The first judge, Liu Huan, was a veteran of strength and the most convincing judge.
The second judge, Na Ying, was a veteran Diva with a strong background. She claimed to be the top actress in the music industry.
Judge number three, Wang Feng, was just like his name. He was the crazy godfather of rock and roll. Although his private life was a mess, weren't all rock and roll players like this?
The fourth judge, Mei Ji, was the idol queen. She was quite popular among the young girls, not to mention her strength.
Yang Ziyu was ranked tenth, the worst.
At this point, everyone, including the judges and the audience, was a little tired. Naturally, they were not as enthusiastic as before.
Who asked him to have a background without any background? The youngest of the other families had an artist company. Even those who ran solo gangs had managers. It was not against the rules to smooth things over a little.
Yang Ziyu didn't mind, but he felt bored.
He patiently watched three performances. To be honest, they were really terrible.
What the f * ck is this song?
If you want to sing, then sing well. If you can't even sing well, then jump around and can't even breathe properly. It's simply a waste of the song.
Fortunately, their songs were equally lousy. They were the kind that would be forgotten after singing, so they were not afraid of being ruined.
When the fourth player went on stage, Yang Ziyu kept on yawning.
He was the most sleepy when he was bored. His program was last, so he was very relaxed.
As he relaxed, he unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa with his guitar.
The other competitors didn't wake him up when they saw him. They couldn't wait to have one less opponent. Who wanted to be nosy?
The whole competition would last for one and a half hours. In order to let the judges rest and give the audience in front of the TV time to go to the toilet, there was a ten-minute break after the fifth match.
In the past, this period of time was the best time for Hunan TV to sell advertisements. This year, because of the live broadcast, the director probably wanted to play a new trick. He actually let the host bring the camera to the backstage lounge for a live interview.
Look at how good the material is. It's close to the people and can even let the audience see different players.
After the performance, they could interview them and predict whether they could advance or not.
Those who did not perform could let the audience see their nervous state. It was simply perfect.
Including the judges in the live broadcast room, everyone was also quite interested in this live broadcast format. Those who did not go to the toilet were watching the live broadcast on the big screen.
The first few minutes were pretty good, but!
What was on the other side of the camera? Someone was actually sleeping?
The camera flashed past. No one could see it clearly. The host occupied the camera position.
Some people were unhappy. They wanted to see who the sleeping person was, not the person who was talking nonsense.
After the beautiful host finished interviewing the nine teams, she felt that she had missed something.
With the reminder of the others, she looked around and finally found the person sleeping soundly in the corner.
The camera followed her as the unscrupulous cameraman even gave a close-up of the person who was sleeping soundly with her mouth wide open.
Then, the camera moved down and saw the guitar in his hand and the number plate on his waist.
Contestant number ten was a contestant!
The live broadcast room was already laughing like crazy. On such an important occasion, there was actually a contestant sleeping so soundly backstage. What a talent!
The director was excited. What precious material.
Awesome. He immediately reported contestant number ten's information to the host through his earpiece.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is contestant number 10. Her name is Yang Ziyu, 22 years old, a senior at the Central Drama Academy. I don't know what kind of mentality he has to be so relaxed. Look at the drool flowing out of the corner of his mouth ~"
The emcee laughed. She quickly adjusted her state of mind and continued,"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really couldn't hold it in. I mean, he's sleeping really soundly. Please give me another close-up.”
The laughter in the live broadcast room grew louder and louder. The people in front of the television were also overjoyed.
"Director, director, the viewership ratings are rising, rising rapidly.”The staff shouted excitedly.
"That's great. Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, don't wake him up. Let him continue to sleep. Wake him up when he performs.”
The emcee who received the instructions immediately understood.
She made a soft gesture and covered her mouth with one hand in front of the camera.
"Dear audience, in order not to disturb our contestant's rest, we should not wake him up. He believed that when he went on stage, he would definitely have a good performance. Please look forward to it."
