Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 168: Debut Night Is Coming
June 18th marks the night of forming the group for "Shining Stars 4." From the morning, all the production staff and trainees began to bustle with activity.
Time ticked by, moment by moment, until finally, it was eight o’clock in the evening. Like every previous night of forming the group, the program was broadcast live.
Compared to recorded shows, live broadcasts test the trainees’ business abilities and skill levels even more, as well as everyone’s adaptability, because it’s broadcast in real-time, with no editing or audio tuning.
Everything is one-time, with no room for change. If you make a mistake, it will be glaringly present in front of all the audience, leaving no space for recovery.
Moreover, the live camera poses a significant challenge to the trainees’ looks. It’s known that during live broadcasts, it’s not uncommon for appearances to flop.
Not to mention the Tengfei platform, whose live camera is hardly less revealing than a magic mirror. If the camera zooms in on your face, every flaw can be caught.
This is a huge test for everyone.
The scene was extremely busy, with everyone occupied with their own tasks, as time continued to pass by. Soon it was eight o’clock in the evening.
Fans and netizens had already been loitering on Tengfei Video early, holding their phones or computers, just waiting for the broadcast to start.
As soon as it turned eight, hordes of fans flooded into the live broadcast room. The sheer number of viewers even caused stuttering on the screen, with the count climbing steadily, likely making it the most-watched talent show live broadcast in recent years.
Tonight’s lineup is especially grand, even the hosts were top-tier in the industry.
One male and one female host stood on stage with the script, delivering the opening remarks.
"Today is a special day. Being here at the Shining Stars group forming night, I feel very happy to witness the journey of 99 girls, and I feel truly honored..."
The male host picked up the microphone: "Yes, on this journey, they experienced many setbacks, also endured much growth. Tears and sweat interwoven, forging their own glory..."
The comments had gone wild by now, scrolling rapidly, [It’s here, it’s finally here, the night I’ve been looking forward to the most has arrived.]
[Quick, I’m ready, let’s start voting right away.]
[Mia, go for it, you must walk the flower path for me, you must debut in the center spot.]
[Lily, go for it too, we want you to debut in the center spot, go go go.]
Although Mia Sutton has always been first, lately Lynn Joyner’s vote count has been catching up tightly, with fans really giving it their all.
Emotion is emotion, but a competition is a competition; the two cannot be mixed.
Both fan bases know this, so there’s never been any fighting or nasty disputes over such matters.
Because they’re truly afraid that once things get messy, while their idols’ relationship might remain unaffected, it’s the fans who end up losing out on benefits.
...
After the hosts finished a segment of lines, following through some procedures, they started bringing the mentors on stage. Each of the four mentors expressed their feelings from recording "Shining Stars" for so long, moving many fans.
