198 Chapter 198. Participants
The recording continued. The host walked up to the stage and announced the rules. He allowed the five coaches to show their results based on the contestants’ performances. He also gave them an invitation card to invite the contestants to join their team directly. The contestants could also refuse; each would propose to their favorite coach that he wanted to join his team.
However, there was a limit to the number of spots on the team. If the contestants were selected too quickly, they could only watch the contestants they liked to fall into the hands of other coaches. If the contestants were chosen too slowly, the spots would not be filled after the end of the performance; then, those who failed to make the selection would be automatically assigned to join the team.
This would depend on which of the coaches had the best foresight.
Chen Xi laughed to liven up the atmosphere. “Aiya, this is going to be difficult for me. I will think that everyone is good, and I don’t know how to reject people.”
Li Yang also said humorously, “That’s great. Hurry up and fill up your slots. The remaining outstanding seeded contestants will all belong to me!”
Li Yang did not forget to interact with Ding Shan. “Ding Shan, you have to keep your eyes open. We will ally and beat those two brats!”
Chen Xi shook his head and could not help but laugh. Su Yan also smiled. He looked like he was in a good mood.
Ding Shan blinked and nodded playfully. “Sis, Keep your voice down. Don’t let them hear our plan!” She cooperated with Li Yang and Chen Xi to liven up the atmosphere.
In this kind of talent show competition, the role of the host in the performance segment was not very important. The primary purpose was to push the process forward. The atmosphere at the venue still had to be controlled by the five coaches.
Su Yan did not like to talk. He had a socially fearful look on his face. He would nod and smile at most, but Chen Tong always said shocking things. Moreover, perhaps because of Ding Shan’s presence, Chen Tong seemed to be venting her anger. she did not talk as much as she used to. Moreover, Li Yang and Chen Xi did not initially have a good impression of Chen Tong. They did not want to take the initiative to provoke her, so in the end.., only Ding Shan, Li Yang, and Chen Xi were left chatting and laughing merrily, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Chen Tong held back a smile at the side and did not say anything. When Ding Shan spoke, Chen Tong gave her a meaningful look. Then, as if she had been isolated, she smiled alone in a lonely manner and did not participate in it.
Li Yang noticed it and asked Chen Tong, “How is it? Is little Tong confident?”
Chen Tong smiled reservedly. “Sister Li, Don’t tease me. What confidence can I have? I still have a lot to learn with seniors like sister Shan and you. I can only say that I will try my best.”
Li Yang gave Chen Tong a shot to speak and stopped there. She did not want the audience to think they were isolating Chen Tong. Li Yang did not want to talk to Chen Tong.
Ding Shan lowered her eyes and smiled silently. This Chen Tong was good at making polite remarks. No one would have thought she would have such a willful and domineering personality in private.
The first group of contestants was ready. The performance officially began. Ding Shan quietly supported her face with her hands and seriously enjoyed the contestant’s performances.
Some of the contestants were particularly outstanding. The directing team would give them a few extra shots. At this time, the coaches understood and asked a few more questions to interact with each other. They silently memorized the names of the contestants.
Everything went smoothly. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the contestants had gone on stage.
Chen Tong was delighted because many of these contestants had chosen her as their favorite coach. Chen Tong had half-pushed and had also recruited many strong people. There were many strong singers among them; the high notes were steady and accurate. Those who did not choose Chen Xi also praised Chen Tong highly.
The only thing Chen Tong was not satisfied with was that there were people who chose Ding Shan. Moreover, there were quite a number of them. Although they did not surpass her overall, Chen Tong still felt unhappy. They should have embarrassed Ding Shan so that no one would choose her. She was kind enough to give a few to her. That would be more interesting. The directing team did not know how to market at all.
Ding Shan had always been very calm in accepting the adoration of the various contestants. She seriously kept a record of it on a piece of paper. She gave suitable suggestions according to the direction that everyone was good at. One of the contestants was a rapper. Moreover, she said that she was a fan of Ding Shan. It was likely that Ding Shan had persuaded Ding Shan’s team to hand it over to Su Yan.
Ding Shan was clear that her team did not depend on the number of people, and not everyone had to be outstanding. However, they had to have a balanced strength to be able to complete all kinds of stages.
Apart from that, giving reasonable suggestions to the contestants who were unsuitable for her team was also a piece of cake. Delaying the future of others would attract hatred.
