After taking advice, I became a top male idol.

Chapter 66 The Night of The Voice Grand Finale!

Saturday, 5 p.m.

Yanjing Workers' Stadium.

This super stadium, which can hold 60,000 people, is hosting the grand finale of "The Voice of China" tonight!

The plaza surrounding the stadium was packed with people.

The flow of people exiting the subway station surged toward the stadium entrance like a tide.

Various support signs, light boards, and banners were held high in the crowd, creating a spectacular sight.

"Li Ziming will win!"

"Zi Mo's fans, gather here! Let's hand out support signs!"

"I took the high-speed train from Shanghai just to see Zimo live! I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep well!"

"Sisters, hold up your support signs higher! So that Brother Zimo can see us!"

"Long live Wu Hao's rock and roll!"

"Any fans of Hao Ge here? We have free light sticks!"

"Does anyone have a support bandana? I forgot mine, could I borrow it to take a picture?"

"Protect the best Hyunwoo oppa!"

"Hyunwoo oppa's fans, gather here!"

"Did everyone wear Hyunwoo oppa's support shirt? The blue one that the fan club gave out!"

"Let's all wear the same outfit and support Hyunwoo oppa!"

"Go Lin Zhixing! Dominate The Voice!"

"Once we enter, let's all shout 'Lin Zhixing dominates The Voice!' so Brother Lin can hear us!"

"I made a light-up sign for Brother Lin, and it has his name on it!"

"Oh my god, there are so many people."

"Hyunwoo oppa said that people who vote for him can enter a prize draw, and if he wins, he'll even hold a live concert."

"Oh, really?"

"Really? Someone even won the latest iPhone and concert tickets in a raffle!"

"Holy crap, they've really gone all out!"

Different fans chanted their support slogans one after another, and the entire square was immersed in a frenzied atmosphere.

Security personnel were extremely busy maintaining order at the scene.

At the entrance, all six ticket checking lanes were open, but the queues still stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Holy crap, there are so many people!"

Zhou Xiaoya stood in line, tiptoeing to look ahead, "When can we go in?"

She dressed up specially today, wearing the same white T-shirt and jeans as Lin Zhixing, and a hat with Lin Zhixing's image on it.

Holding up a huge support sign: 【Lin Zhixing Dominates The Voice】

"Don't rush, don't rush, it's only a little past five, it doesn't start until seven," a girl next to me comforted me.

This girl is Chen Tingting.

She was dressed casually, with her long hair tied in a ponytail and light makeup on her face, looking fresh and lovely.

They were also holding up support signs that read: "Brother Zhixing, we will always support you."

Ah, Hyunwoo, what Hyunwoo? Sorry, I've switched allegiances!

This is the first time the two have met.

We had gotten to know each other quite well in the fan group, but we never had the chance to meet in person.

This finals is a perfect opportunity.

"Tingting, where are you from?" Zhou Xiaoya asked.

"I came from school, it took me over an hour by subway," Chen Tingting said. "And you?"

"I took leave from work to come here," Zhou Xiaoya said with a smile. "I told my boss I had something to do at home, and it turns out my boss is also a fan of Brother Lin, so he approved my leave right away."

"Haha, really?" Chen Tingting laughed in surprise.

"Really! Several people from our department came. The boss said the company dinner tonight is canceled, so everyone should cheer for Brother Lin. We can get our taxi fare reimbursed by showing the photos."

"Holy crap, this boss is amazing."

"He said that if Brother Lin doesn't win the championship, he won't hold him accountable; but if he does win, he'll treat the whole department to a meal."

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically, and time flew by.

Finally, they arrived at the ticket gate.

"Let me see the ticket," the staff member said.

Zhou Xiaoya took out her phone and opened the e-ticket.

"Okay, please come in."

"yeah!"

The two walked excitedly into the stadium.

After passing through the long passage, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before me.

"Wow!"

Chen Tingting exclaimed in surprise.

The entire vast stadium was laid out before us.

A huge circular stage was erected in the center of the venue, surrounded by a dense array of lighting equipment, and numerous cameras were pointed at the stage from different angles.

The stands around the perimeter were already filled with spectators.

A sea of ​​support lights in various colors rose and fell.

"It's spectacular!" Zhou Xiaoya exclaimed excitedly. "Sixty thousand people here, and Brother Lin is going to sing here! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

"Let's go, let's find a place!"

The two found their seats according to the seat numbers on their tickets.

It's pretty good. Although it's not the front row, the angle is great, and you can see the stage clearly.

"Perfect!"

After Zhou Xiaoya sat down, she took out her phone and started taking pictures.

"I'll post this on WeChat Moments first!"

[Zhou Xiaoya]: At the Workers' Stadium! 60,000 people! Cheering for Brother Lin! Witnessing history tonight!

Comments began to flood in a few seconds later.

"Xiaoya, you actually went to the event! I'm so envious!"

"I'm waiting for the live stream at home, give me the center position, give me the center position!"

"Please cheer for Brother Lin! Remember to shout it loud!"

"Your hat is so cute! Where did you buy it?"

Chen Tingting also posted on Weibo.

[Zhi Xing's Little Fangirl]: My first time at the Workers' Stadium! 60,000 people in attendance! I met Sister Xiaoya! Tonight, I'll dominate The Voice! Go Lin Ge! [Photo]

The comments section exploded as well.

"I'm so envious! I want to go too!"

"Please forward this support banner to Brother Lin!"

......

at the same time.

Backstage at the stadium.

A flurry of activity.

"Try the audio equipment again. Is the main speaker okay?"

"We must ensure everything goes perfectly! Tonight's live broadcast; the slightest mistake and we'll lose our bonus!"

"Damn it, where's the props team? Hurry up and adjust that lift, don't let it get stuck!"

"Where are the equipment team? There's a slight delay in the signal from camera number two. Fix it quickly! We're switching signals in ten minutes!"

"Where are the lights? Why isn't the spotlight in place yet?"

"Have all the mentors arrived?"

"Sister Lan is still on her way, there's some traffic, but she should be able to make it."

"Where are the students?"

"Everyone's here, they're all in the waiting room."

The scene was a bit chaotic.

Xia Xue sat in the director's seat.

Tonight is a live broadcast.

Any problem in any link of the chain can be a disaster.

"Attention all units, please perform a final check of your communication equipment. I do not wish for any unexpected incidents to occur!"

......

at the same time.

The VIP area of ​​the stadium.

This is the VIP seating area reserved for sponsors, guests, and media.

The environment is luxurious, with excellent views, and it is also equipped with dedicated service staff.

Rows of genuine leather seats were already occupied by many business tycoons and celebrities in suits.

Liu Yilong from Xinghuang Entertainment was sitting in the very center.

Today he was wearing a dark blue suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

She's in her fifties, but she's well-maintained with firm skin, though she has some fine lines around her eyes.

At this moment, he was holding a glass of red wine, sipping it elegantly, and occasionally exchanging a few words with the people around him.

"Mr. Liu, how are your preparations going tonight?" a middle-aged man next to him asked.

This person is the CEO of an entertainment media company and has a good relationship with Liu Yilong.

"Everything that needs to be prepared is ready," Liu Yilong said calmly. "Tonight's result will not disappoint me."

"That's good, that's good," the middle-aged man said with a forced smile.

He knew how much money Liu Yilong had spent on this final competition.

Buying online trolls, vote rigging, public relations with the media...

Even a conservative estimate would be tens of millions.

Just to prevent Lin Zhixing from winning the championship.

This obsession is truly terrifying.

Just then, Liu Yilong saw a familiar figure walking towards him from not far away.

Zhou Liren is the CEO of Tianyue Entertainment.

Zhou Liren is in his early fifties, with a robust build, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, giving him a commanding presence.

He was wearing a black suit, and a young and beautiful girl was with him.

That girl was Zhou Xuan.

She wore a white dress with a light blue blazer over it today.

She had long, flowing hair and wore delicate, light makeup.

She was tall and slender with a curvaceous figure, especially her long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings. Wearing high heels, she walked with a graceful sway.

She looks both elegant and sexy.

Liu Yilong narrowed his eyes.

He put down his glass, stood up, and wore a fake smile.

"Hey, Lao Zhou!"

Liu Yilong stepped forward and extended his hand, saying, "Long time no see!"

When Zhou Liren saw Liu Yilong, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

But I still politely extended my hand and shook it.

"Mr. Liu, it's been a long time."

"Come, come, have a seat," Liu Yilong said warmly, but his eyes were lingering on Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Liren frowned, but said nothing, and sat down with his daughter.

"I heard that Tianyue is preparing to sign Lin Zhixing?" Liu Yilong suddenly asked, his tone full of meaning.

"We do have that plan," Zhou Liren said calmly.

Liu Yilong stretched out his thick, fleshy hand and patted Zhou Liren on the shoulder. "Old Zhou, we've known each other for a long time. I have to remind you of something."

"The entertainment industry is a deep and murky place. It's very difficult to climb up the ladder; one wrong step and you'll be shattered to pieces."

"Don't assume that just because you've found a talented newcomer, you can try to climb the ladder. That could be a hot potato, and you might burn your hands."

"As a person, you should be down-to-earth and honest. Don't always think about taking shortcuts, or you'll easily crash and burn."

Zhou Liren's eyes turned slightly cold, and he was about to retort.

Liu Yilong's gaze suddenly shifted and landed on the girl next to Zhou Liren.

To be honest, Liu Yilong has been with quite a few female celebrities, but I've never seen anyone like Zhou Xuan, who is both innocent and alluring. She's so captivating.

"Old Zhou, aren't you going to introduce him?"

Zhou Liren's face darkened.

I felt a wave of nausea.

Of course he knew who Liu Yilong was.

Everyone in the industry knows that this guy is a womanizer and uses dirty methods.

Countless young female artists have suffered at his hands.

That old lecher, he even dares to make advances on his own daughter?

He was about to retort forcefully.

Zhou Xuan suddenly raised her head.

She looked at Liu Yilong and gave him a sweet smile.

"Oh, this must be the legendary CEO Liu of Xinghuang Entertainment, right?"

Zhou Xuan stood up, gave a very polite slight bow, and spoke in a clear, melodious voice:

"Hello, Grandpa Liu!"

"Pfft!" Several business owners who were drinking water nearby spat it out.

Even Zhou Liren, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The CEOs of several other companies nearby quickly turned their heads away, pretending to admire the scenery, but their shoulders were shaking violently.

Liu Yilong's smile instantly froze on his face.

grandfather?

Damn it!

I'm only in my fifties, in the prime of my life!

So many young girls are lining up to call me godfather!

You fucking dare call me grandpa?

Am I that old?!

Liu Yilong's face turned pale and then red.

This is a blatant insult!

But it's not appropriate to express it directly in this situation.

The other members of Xinghuang's entourage all had their heads down and were biting their lips tightly.

But one of the young men couldn't hold back any longer.

"Pfft!"

He laughed out loud.

That smile silenced the entire VIP area.

Liu Yilong slowly turned his head, looking at the young man with a frosty expression.

"Is it funny?"

The young man's smile froze, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Mr. Liu... I..."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Yilong said with a forced smile, "That young lady respects her elders and called me 'Grandpa,' shouldn't I be happy? What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm unworthy of being called 'Grandpa'?"

"No...no..."

"You smile so much, which means you're very approachable. You're wasting your talents on sales."

"Alright, starting tomorrow, you'll work as the company's receptionist."

"Every day, he would smile at me at the door, smiling at everyone who came in."

"If you don't smile even once, or if your smile isn't bright enough, you're fired!"

The young man's face turned even paler.

He dared not resist.

In Xinghuang, Liu Yilong is the emperor.

"Yes...yes, Mr. Liu." The young man lowered his head, his voice trembling.

Liu Yilong then looked away.

He then looked at Zhou Xuan, a hint of disgust and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

This little brat, how dare she make fun of me in public?

well.

Don't let it fall into my hands.

Otherwise, I'll show you what regret really means!

He snorted coldly.

He lowered his voice and said in a volume that only three people could hear, "Good, good Grandpa Liu."

"My niece Zhou is so sharp-tongued. I hope she'll continue to be so polite when she enters society."

"Don't fall into my hands."

"Otherwise, I'll show you how much your grandfather loves his granddaughter."

After saying that, he snorted, turned and left with his men, and sat down in another seat.

Zhou Liren shook his head as he watched Liu Yilong's departing figure.

"You," he looked at his daughter, shaking his head helplessly, "just ignore him. Why provoke him?"

"Hmph." Zhou Xuan curled her lip. "Who told him to look at me with such disgusting eyes? He clearly had ill intentions, it made me want to vomit! Calling him 'Grandpa' is already an honor!"

"I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Zhou Liren smiled helplessly.

My daughter has always had this personality: protective of her own and stubborn.

But he didn't say much.

The reason we started the entertainment company was because our daughter loves the entertainment industry.

Once you're in this circle, you're bound to have to deal with these people.

Let Liu Yilong try whatever tricks he wants.

Zhou Liren is no pushover either.

"Let's go, let's find our seats," Zhou Liren said.

"it is good."

The two got up and went to their seats.

......

In the waiting room.

The four contestants each prepared themselves.

Li Ziming sat in front of the mirror, closed her eyes, and silently reviewed the song she was going to sing that night.

Wu Hao leaned against the wall, with his earphones in and his eyes closed, trying to rest.

Zhang Xianyu sat in the corner, head down.

Lin Zhixing stood by the window, looking at the brightly lit Workers' Stadium outside.

He took a deep breath, savoring the awe.

This is my first time performing on such a big stage.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

But he was mostly excited.

My phone vibrated.

He looked down.

【Gentle XiXi】: Go Zhixing! We're all here cheering you on! You can do it! [heart][heart][heart]

Lin Zhixing smiled and replied with a "Go for it" emoji.

Immediately afterwards, another message came in.

【Please call me Sister Xuan】: Hmph, Lin Zhixing, you can't lose! Don't forget, we haven't signed the contract yet! If you lose, your value will be discounted! This young lady doesn't do business at a loss!

[Lin Zhixing]: Don't worry, boss. Get the signing fee ready; I'm raising prices after tonight.

After sending the message, he put away his phone and straightened his collar.

At that moment, the director's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Five minutes left in the countdown. Contestants, please get ready!"
