Luo Yang stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and tightly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Yang still couldn't come up with anything suitable. Since he had no clue for the moment, Luo Yang temporarily put the issue aside. There was no rush, and he could start writing after the wave of "First Intimate Contact" had passed.
"Luo Yang, what are you dawdling about? Come out quickly! The competition is about to start!" Just as Luo Yang was thinking, the voices of Zhu Changhong and others came from the door, urging Luo Yang to come out.
"I'm coming." Luo Yang responded and walked to the small living room of the dormitory.
On the large table, a computer with an extra-large screen was placed.
The owner of this computer was Wang Yu, who loved playing games on a large screen. According to him, it was much more enjoyable this way.
The other three dorm mates were now gathered in front of the computer, and they had even reserved a central position for Luo Yang. Luo Yang didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
The reason they were all gathered in front of the computer—
was because of a competition.
A competition called "Next Queen."
At first, Luo Yang didn't expect that these three dorm mates would be loyal viewers of "Next Queen." It was only during a casual chat that he found out everyone liked to watch this annual program. Therefore, the four of them agreed to watch the live broadcast of this year's "Next Queen" together.
In his previous life, Luo Yang remembered often gathering with his dorm mates to watch League of Legends matches or music programs like "The Voice" and "I Am a Singer." So, this situation felt strangely familiar to him.
"It's about to start, it's about to start!"
The screen scene suddenly changed, switching to the venue of "Next Queen."
"Wow..." Wang Yu and the others let out a not-so-loud exclamation at the familiar scene.
However, this was the first time Luo Yang was watching the global live broadcast of "Next Queen," and he felt a sense of novelty.
"Thank you to all the viewers from across the country. Hello, I am the host, Pudding. I now announce that the global live broadcast of the Fourth 'Next Queen' Top 100 Competition is about to begin!"
The huge curtain on the stage was pulled open, revealing a colorful stage!
The grand stage was surrounded by red carpets on all sides, and in the center was a beautiful lift platform. The contestants would appear in a mist, looking extremely cool.
The grand music started, making the audience's hearts race. At this moment, the lights shone brilliantly, and the stage was resplendent.
"Next Queen is definitely a national-level talent show!" Ren Changjiang said excitedly.
"That's right. This year is the fourth edition of the show, and each edition has been more invested than the last! And every edition has produced several excellent singers! Even a queen-level singer has emerged!" Zhu Changhong also said excitedly.
To watch the live broadcast of "Next Queen" with his dorm mates tonight, he had even specially canceled his date with his girlfriend.
"Let me introduce this year's four professional judges!" As Pudding spoke, the camera turned to the four tall and handsome chairs in front of the stage.
Pudding's voice echoed through the earphones: "The first judge is the leading figure of the young generation of pop music in our country, Yi Bai!"
"Awesome!"
"Yi Bai, Yi Bai!"
"Wow, it's actually Yi Bai, a god-like figure!"
The audience below the stage excitedly shouted.
"It seems that this year's 'Next Queen' has spared no expense, even inviting a high-profile singer like Yi Bai, who is both an idol and a talent!" Wang Yu said, quite impressed.
Luo Yang also knew Yi Bai. He was the leading figure of the young generation of pop music in the country, with outstanding talent. In terms of status, he was roughly equivalent to Jay Chou in his previous life, and perhaps even stronger.
Pudding seemed to have anticipated the audience's surprise and smiled mysteriously, saying loudly, "The second judge is the leading figure of rock music in our country, Ma Haoran!"
"Wow!"
"Roaring Brother!"
"I didn't expect him to be here!"
Ma Haoran waved to the audience below. This Ma Haoran immediately reminded Luo Yang of Wang Jiaotou from his previous life, but clearly, Ma Haoran in this world had a much better reputation than Wang Jiaotou.
Moreover, because Ma Haoran often roared when singing rock music, he was called "Roaring Brother" by many fans, which was a kind of teasing.
"The third judge is a woman." Pudding teased, then announced loudly, "Let's welcome our versatile queen, Luo Bingqing!"
"Luo Bingqing!"
"Queen arrives!"
"I'm going to faint, she's a goddess!"
Luo Bingqing was undoubtedly the queen of the music industry in the country!
She was already forty years old, and the years had left faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
But no one could ignore her presence. She was the sweetheart singer of the country's music industry, starting her career at the age of eighteen. Without relying on scandals or exaggeration, she rose to the status of a queen through one hit song after another, spending over twenty years to achieve this. Her status in the industry was widely recognized.
"My mother likes her songs the most," Ren Changjiang said from the side.
"I also like her. She has been in the industry for decades with almost no scandals. Such a singer is rare," Zhu Changhong added.
The program continued.
Everyone was very curious about who the last judge would be.
Pudding smiled and said, "Dear viewers, you must be very curious about who the last judge is. I won't keep you in suspense. Let's welcome the fourth judge..."
"Teacher Zhang Zonghuan!"
As the camera showed a man with slightly gray hair waving to the camera, the audience below was completely shocked!
Even Zhu Changhong, Ren Changjiang, and the chattering Zhu Changhong in front of the computer were wide-eyed, as if they couldn't believe what they saw!
"It's actually the King of Singers!"
"Damn, the first King of Singers in the country!"
"Doesn't he never participate in talent shows?"
"The production team actually managed to invite this semi-retired King of Singers!"
Luo Yang was also surprised.
This Zhang Zonghuan was no ordinary person. He was one of the top ten album sellers in the world. In terms of his status in the music industry, he was undoubtedly a dominant figure.
He was immensely talented and had been exceptionally handsome in his youth. However, he was very down-to-earth and approachable, which made him beloved by the entire nation. In the country, it was hard to find someone who didn't know his songs...
"Next Queen" had really pulled out all the stops, inviting so many big names!
"Teacher Zhang is my idol!"
"I've liked him for decades!"
"I grew up listening to Teacher Zhang Zonghuan's songs."
The camera panned to the other three judges, who all looked serious as they spoke to the camera. Even though they were already highly respected in the music industry, they still seemed to be in awe of this one person...
"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Zonghuan clasped his hands together in front of the camera, as modest as ever.
The lineup of judges for this year's "Next Queen" was undoubtedly the strongest in history!
Each judge, if invited to other music programs, would be a guarantee of high ratings. Yet, this program managed to bring together four of them at once, which was truly terrifying.
"I'm now full of anticipation for this year's 'Next Queen'!" Ren Changjiang's eyes sparkled.
Wang Yu, who had been eating chips and snacks, also stopped and stared at the screen without blinking...
As for Luo Yang, he had only agreed to watch "Next Queen" to give Liu Qin a face and to honor his promise to those girls.
But now, he was actually starting to develop a strong interest in this national-level talent show...
Amidst the anticipation of the audience, Pudding officially announced, "The global live broadcast of the 'Next Queen' Top 100 Competition is now officially beginning!"
