Chapter 117 1/2

After all the contestants settled into their dorms, almost everyone shared the same thoughts as Tu Zhu and his roommates. As soon as they unpacked, they rushed to the dance studio.

Even those who hadn’t thought of it initially, seeing others going, couldn’t resist the idea of not falling behind and hurriedly followed suit.

Six hundred contestants were rushing to the same place, and at this moment, the live broadcast was still using drone shots. With the enthusiastic singing of the background music, the live audience laughed heartily.

For those watching the TV broadcast, it was fine. But for those on a computer or phone, the barrage was almost all filled with laughter.

“Goodness, this angle, it’s like zombies besieging the city.”

“I don’t know why I’m lying in bed, watching this scene, and laughing so hard I’m rolling.”

“Why is this background music so funny? The male soprano made me laugh to death.”

“Laughing so hard, it sounds like the chickens in the chicken coop when they hear the dinner bell.”

“My grandmother raises chickens; I swear, the scene is exactly like when the chickens hear it’s feeding time.”

“Why is this so funny and good-looking at the same time?”

Sheng Quan was also watching the live broadcast. Laughing along with other viewers, she glanced at the current number of people watching “Crossing the Starry Sea” on various platforms.

“More than expected.

Like most talent shows, “Crossing the Star Sea” chose to broadcast live during the recording and later adopted a replay mode.

The advantage of this mode is that it offers a lot of camera angles to the audience, maximizing the possibility of attracting new viewers.

However, live broadcasts are not as concise as replays, and many seemingly unnecessary everyday details, according to the audience, are also recorded. Even if the director in charge of cutting scenes makes great efforts to include entertaining shots for the audience, with 24 hours in a day, there are inevitably less interesting moments, and viewers may unconsciously drop out during those times.

However, the reason why “Crossing the Star Sea” can maintain high viewership during live broadcasts is evidently because the audience feels it’s worth watching continuously.

In a forum thread discussing the advantages and disadvantages of live broadcasts of talent shows, many people happily shared the joy of following “Crossing the Star Sea.”

The top comment in the thread perfectly captures the sentiments of “Crossing the Star Sea” viewers.

“Firstly, all the contestants are beautiful, each with their own charm, and they all look stunning from any angle. I can’t bear to put my phone down because of this.

I know judging by appearances sounds lowbrow, but they are future idols! What else should I look at, if not their faces?

Secondly, although each contestant only performs for one minute, they all dance remarkably well. I’m not a professional and can’t give a professional evaluation, but I feel that if other shows are about picking the best from the short, “Crossing the Star Sea” is about finding the longest legs among a group of tall ones.

And! Its daily life is really not boring at all!

In the past, watching talent shows and live broadcasts was repetitive, and audiences naturally found them boring. “Crossing the Star Sea” is different; although it’s only the third day of the live broadcast, almost every minute has something interesting!

Just the introductions and interactions between the contestants are entertaining. Don’t you think a group of beautiful women and handsome men gathering together is a kind of enjoyment in itself?

Although there are no performances yet, the process of nurturing the contestants, like a chicken farm, is also fun, making me laugh.

You can also see that the production team has done its best in every aspect, even during rest breaks.

If I didn’t have to work, I would want to keep watching! Entertainment god Sheng Dong, please bless “Crossing the Star Sea” to maintain its current quality and produce more episodes! Don’t let it be short-lived! “

While browsing the forum and after clicking the like button, Sheng Quan, in the last comment, says:

“Entertainment god?

It’s a bit adolescent, but I like it.

Entertainment god Sheng Dong says producing more episodes is not possible, but she can provide more benefits to the audience.

For example, at this moment, these boys and girls with an average age of nineteen and a half are required to be in a makeup-free state.

At this age, their skin is generally good, and after removing makeup, they naturally look different from the refreshing beauty on stage.

There are even a few contestants who look better without makeup than with it, attracting a wave of fans based on their natural beauty.

Also, because the production team does not require full makeup all the time, most of the lively contestants in this age group dare to sprint without worrying about sweating off their makeup.

This effect aligns with the intentions of the production team, as they are a voting-type show, and the more “real” the contestants are, the happier the audience is.

Tu Zhu, however, is not lively.

He originally planned to walk slowly, but as he walked, he unconsciously ended up being carried by three kind roommates.

While running, they shouted, ‘Tu Zhu, don’t worry! We’ll run with you if you’re slow! ‘

With a bewildered look and feet barely touching the ground, Tu Zhu was carried by the three fast legs and said, ‘…’

He didn’t even have a chance to explain as the three swift roommates brought him to the destination.

When the contestants reached the dance studio as directed by the photographer, they were amazed by the not-so-small building in front of them.

Not only them, but even the audience watching the live broadcast was shocked.

Is this a dance studio?

Isn’t this a dance building?

“Yes, this building is indeed called the dance building.”

The audience, who were hesitating whether to enter the building, were startled by the sudden voice.

“Who’s there?! Who’s talking?”

The audience also looked curiously, only to see the camera slowly turning towards the entrance of the dance building, accompanied by a melodious flute. A pair of ancient boots, with a sharp posture, stepped over the threshold.

The next moment, everyone saw a man wearing white jade headgear, a black embroidered gold cloak, and a tall and straight figure… A big lobster walked out.

Contestants: ‘…’

Audience: ‘…’

The next moment, the barrage was filled with ‘hahaha’ all over the screen.

‘Big lobster, I’m really laughing to death! ‘

‘The camera is really skillful; first cut to the expensive headgear, then the gorgeous clothes, and finally reveal the face—it’s a lobster! ‘

‘Hahaha, is the program team playing around? ‘

The man wearing a lobster costume seemed completely unaware that the contestants were laughing. A magnetic voice came from under the headgear:

“I am the owner of the dance studio; you can call me the dance studio master.”

“When practicing dance in Crossing the Star Sea, it’s not as simple as you think. Dancers not only need strong skills but also need discerning eyes to appreciate their companions.”

While the contestants were still a bit puzzled, the audience had already figured out the routine.

“Oh wow! Is it time to start promoting each other?”

Sure enough, the Dance Studio Master continued, “Each of you will receive a piece of paper and a pen. Based on everyone’s one-minute performance earlier, you can choose the person you think danced the best, excluding yourself.”

Pausing for a moment, he added, “Of course, you cannot choose yourself.”

The contestants, who were quietly listening, burst into laughter, instantly lightening the atmosphere.”

The eagerly awaited staff immediately rushed up to distribute paper and pens, and each person’s actions were extremely quick.

Fast, this was the most common state of the staff in “Crossing the Star Sea.” After all, they were too busy, and it was precisely because the current situation was excellent that everyone needed to strive for excellence.
