TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 366 - First Round Result

"What the hell is going on? Why is Shao Zhong's appearance not as good as before?”

“The music is not warm or healing at all. What's he doing?"

Everyone discussed his appearance below. Their voices did not spiral out of control, but they were filled with disappointment.

Conan, who was sitting in the front row and scheduled to perform towards the end, smiled, and his tense body relaxed.

The people who came to the competition were impressive, but Conan only paid attention to Xiao Wu, as he was the opponent he valued the most. Normally, themes like healing and warmth should be Xiao Wu's specialty. He was nervous, but as it turned out, Xiao Wu was not like that.

He may have overestimated her.

For the rest of the show, Conan watched leisurely. When it was almost her turn, she went backstage to prepare. As soon as he started performing, the tired audience became excited.

Conan doesn't live close to the theme. He performed a song full of fighting spirit, which matched his style. He grabbed people's ears in an instant. The music was so aggressive, that it was hard for them not to notice it. It made the hot blood of the audience flow in their veins.

Conan has chosen a different approach. He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Xiao Wu in what field Xiao Wu was mastering, so he chose what was best for him. The results proved good. The response he received was different from the one the audience gave to Xiao Wu, who received enthusiastic applause as he took the stage and a rare round of applause as he descended.

In Conan's case, when he took the stage, applause was not considered enthusiastic, but when he got off the stage, a standing ovation. Even the judges applauded.

Conan left the stage with a face full of arrogance and confidence, confident that he would win this time around. The audience and jury proved that. He was even more impressive than Xiao Wu!

Conan looked at Xiao Wu backstage. Perhaps because Xiao Wu had yet to realize that this was a crisis, his expression was no different than before.

"I'll win this time," Conan said bluntly.

Xiao Wu simply replied, “Let's wait for the results. However, you are really impressive. Your music is good. I wish you all the best."

Those who deserve praise should be praised. Xiao Wu gestured to him with his fist and left.

Conan thought that Xiao Wu was not sure. Fortunately, an interpreter told him what Xiao Wu had said. Only then was Conan satisfied. “At least your taste is good. I will definitely be the one to win the Best Film Score Award next time.”

After the show, Conan relaxed. Now it's up to the jury. He trusted the taste of the jury.

Xiao Wu also relaxed. He had not rested well before. After the show, she returned to the hotel and slept well.

Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang did the same. Their hearts were full as they slept soundly in the hotel, but they had no idea that there would be a commotion outside soon.

The entire process was broadcast live on the radio station. The television station quickly broadcast it as well. Everyone had been waiting for Xiao Wu to do well and win the competition, thus bringing glory to their country. But now that they saw his appearance, they were disappointed. That all?

Regardless of whether they knew a lot about music or not, they could judge by their instinctive feelings. Their hopes turned to disappointment.

Jiang Feng had even heard his music in person. To be honest, he was very disappointed. If he was not worried about making Xiao Wu feel depressed, he would have long since looked for her. However, he still called Shao Qihai in quick succession and asked him to come to Ocean City to see what was wrong with Xiao Wu.

After the competition was televised, newspapers reported it. Everyone was angry as they continued to discuss Xiao Wu's performance.

“I just feel that the music is at least in keeping with the theme. It's not even as good as his job used to be. Back then, I could still hear smiles in his songs, but this time.”.

“Maybe because he has a limited time.”

“Maybe our expectations are too high. After all, he is still a child, so he does not understand much about complicated feelings.”

The newspaper specifically commented on Xiao Wu's performance. In order to prevent Xiao Wu from becoming the next 'Shang Zhongyong', everyone had to be more rational. The overall meaning was that they should not be too flattering to Xiao Wu in the future. Otherwise, he might become arrogant at a very young age and end up becoming an ordinary person.

When newspaper articles are published, many people find it to make sense. Some people are angry, while others are disappointed. They felt that Xiao Wu had humiliated everyone.

The public voice has also changed. They had agreed to choose Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu had let them down, so no one was willing to choose him now. Instead, they felt that it was their place to encourage, counsel, and warn him.

Many times, people act like this. If someone performed really well all the time, everyone would be very disappointed if they did not perform well every once in a while. But if one's performance was always very bad, everyone would be amazed if they suddenly performed well just once.

Xiao Wu had performed too well before. Now that he suddenly appeared like this, everyone lost control of their emotions. The main reason for this was that everyone wanted him to become stronger for the world to see so that they could also show their superiority.

Because they can't do it themselves, they put their hopes on the person who can do it. The greater one's expectations, the greater their disappointment.

When Mu Jingzhe finished resting and heard what was going on, he lost his composure and scratched his head. “I think the results have not been announced? Why are they scolding him?”

The reason was of course because everyone felt there was no hope of winning an award.

Mu Jingzhe felt helpless when he heard everyone's comments. He could only be pleased that the Internet had not become prevalent. Otherwise, in the modern era, Xiao Wu would probably face relentless criticism.

Now, everyone's voice was unable to reach them. They can only pretend they are not listening.

“We will talk about it when the result comes out. Rest well for two days and don't go out too much.” That way, Xiao Wu would not hear that comment and felt dejected.

However, even though Xiao Wu understood Mu Jingzhe's goodwill, he still insisted on going out. “Bu, we all ultimately have to be criticized. As you always say to me and Sister, we are not money. It's impossible for everyone to like us. We have to face dislike and criticism. I was ready before I made this choice. Since that's the case, let's hear it all out. I had to face criticism early and learn to be strong.”

Before the results were announced, Xiao Wu came out to face criticism from others. Not only did he have to face the gazes of his competitors, but he also had to listen to the criticisms of everyone at the door.

Xiao Wu was very calm the entire time. She simply jumped into Mu Jingzhe's embrace as they returned to the hotel.

“Bu, I'm still too young. I still can't face this. That's as much as I can hold. I don't want to hear anymore for now. ”

“I wonder why you are so calm. So you're pretending. ”

"Mom, is it really that bad?" Xiao Wu began to doubt himself.

“No, you don't have to think too much about it. Do your best."

Amidst everyone's disappointment, it was time to announce the results of the preliminary round. The top ten contestants in the preliminary round can go into the later stages and finals.

The final ranking of the competition is mainly determined by the final round. However, even though this was only the rank of the preliminary round, it was still important. They even specifically made medals for this.

Although winning a medal cannot be compared to a real trophy in a final, it is still not bad.

The most exciting moment had arrived, but everyone was not interested, as they had expected that Xiao Wu might not enter the finals. Not only could Xiao Wu not enter, but if they were unlucky, all the contestants from China would probably be completely wiped out.
