Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Old and New Grudges, Unrelenting!
The second day, “Heavenly Voice” preliminaries commenced.
When the host took the stage, passionately introducing the competition’s rules, everyone got excited.
The masked competition, this faceless approach, instantly piqued the audience’s curiosity.
Moreover, to ensure fairness and justice, the list of contestants wasn’t announced this time.
So, apart from a few singers who announced their participation on their Weibo early to attract attention, the identities of other contestants were kept secret.
This added even more interest to the show.
No sooner were the rules announced than they were met with universal acclaim, and the production team was showered with praises for the fairness and integrity of the event, with no suspicion of any insider dealings.
Following the incident with “Dance into the Future,” the national audience had grown weary of domestic variety shows, resulting in general indifference.
But the new rules of “Heavenly Voice” undoubtedly rescued the integrity of variety shows from dire straits!
It enjoyed unprecedented attention, and ratings soared.
Online, a wave of heated discussions erupted, and everyone was excited, eager to identify their favorite idols.
Seeing such a result, the organizers were very relieved.
At first, they worried that changing the rules abruptly would lead to resistance, but now it seemed their worries were unnecessary.
Therefore, they personally called Yin Mulan to express their gratitude.
Yin Mulan hadn’t expected such an outcome; she exchanged pleasantries and asked the crew to take good care of Xia Weibao before hanging up the phone.
She needed to investigate the truth behind the car accident!
Yin Mulan hadn’t made it to where she was today by being meek and docile!
If someone indeed dared to scheme against her, she would not rest with new and old grudges unsettled!
In the exclusive make-up room backstage at “Heavenly Voice,” Lin Siqian angrily smashed a box of makeup.
“What fairness and justice, it’s clearly just to help Xia Weibao!”
Liu Xing also looked displeased, “I really didn’t expect Xia Weibao to actually cozy up to Yin Mulan, this is very disadvantageous for us.”
Lin Siqian’s eyes were fierce, “What’s there to fear? No matter how formidable Yin Mulan is, she can reign supreme in the dance world, but there’s no way she can dominate the music scene!”
“That’s not necessarily the case. The sponsor of ‘Heavenly Voice’ is an admirer of Yin Mulan.
If he can change the rules just to please Yin Mulan, what can’t he do?”
Mentioning this, Lin Siqian felt even more aggrieved. She really couldn’t understand why someone of Yin Mulan’s status would be so good to Xia Weibao.
“This show is branded with fairness and justice. Even if the organizers want to help Xia Weibao, it’s useless. She might sneak through in the first round, but the next two rounds are face-to-face competitions. She won’t have any advantage.
Liu Xing, keep a close eye on the online sentiments for me. Have the paid posters spew insults at Xia Weibao’s page daily, and prevent the scandal’s heat from dropping. I refuse to believe I can’t finish her off!”
At the live show, after the host’s opening remarks, contestants began to appear one after another.
It must be said that this new competitive model was hugely satisfying for the audience.
Guessing began with the first contestant about who it could be and which singer had the most distinctive voice.
However, some guesses were right, while others were wrong.
But when Lin Siqian took to the stage, her voice was immediately met with cheers from the audience.
“Ah, it’s my goddess Siqian, her voice is so good!”
“Siqian’s voice is so distinctive, worthy of a Diva!!!”
Amidst the screams, Lin Siqian’s lips slowly curved upwards.
See, this was her glory— the moment she appeared, everyone would go crazy for her!
