The recording of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" is about to begin.
Lin Yanyu is resting in the makeup room.
Today she will sing "Love You," and her makeup is also sweet.
She really likes this song, and it also fits the public's perception of her.
Another point is that after being proposed to by Su Yu, she has become sweeter and only wants to sing sweet songs.
Therefore, not only did she practice many times, but she also specially choreographed a dance.
Anyway, she was very well-prepared for this song.
Contestant lounge.
Several contestants are gathered, discussing in low voices.
"I heard Lin Yanyu is coming as a guest this episode."
"I like her so much, she's both cool and sweet, and she and Ting Yu are so sweet."
"This young girl is very spiritual, and her presence here will probably bring a lot of attention to our show."
"Then I have to prepare well this time, and strive to gain more fans with this wave of popularity."
"Hehe, I've already prepared, watch me shine this time!"
Just then.
Peng Buhong next to them snorted coldly.
"We're competing fine, I don't know why the production team invited Lin Yanyu as a guest." She lowered her head, fiddling with her new manicure, and sneered.
Peng Buhong is the boss lady of the show.
With deep qualifications in the Chinese music scene, she is nearing fifty this year and has extensive connections in the industry. Even the production team has to give her some face.
And this show is not a professional competition, so the rankings are not important.
This season, the production team invited her and promised her she was the predetermined champion.
With this promise, Peng Buhong was naturally willing to participate.
Coupled with her very high popularity, accumulated qualifications, and influential connections within the circle, other contestants respected her greatly, calling her Sister Hong, for fear of offending her and facing repercussions.
Everyone knew that they were just there to accompany her, and staying for a few more episodes was good enough.
"That's right, with Sister Hong here, our show's ratings have been very stable, there's no need to invite a little girl to attract traffic."
"Lin Yanyu isn't that amazing, her popularity is entirely due to her fiancé Ting Yu's influence."
"That's right, being promoted by Ting Yu like that, anyone can become popular. If Ting Yu promoted me like that, I might be even more popular than Lin Yanyu."
Beside them, three contestants quickly chimed in.
Their tone carried a strong hint of jealousy.
Where there are people, there is a Jianghu.
The contestants on the show are divided into two types: those who prepare diligently and strive to deliver good performances, and those who flatter Peng Buhong to stay on stage for a few more episodes.
Those who prepared diligently quietly glanced at Peng Buhong and her group without speaking.
For them, it was best not to provoke Peng Buhong, otherwise, it would be troublesome to face repercussions.
Although "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" is a long-running variety show, it is not a professional competition stage, so the rankings are not that important. Everyone in the industry knows this, and even many viewers know who the production team wants to promote.
This is because those people get more than double the screen time compared to others in each episode.
And Peng Buhong is clearly the one the production team wants to promote, as she has the most screen time.
"Forget it, it's because she has traffic and a good father," Peng Buhong sneered.
Although she had good connections in the industry, she dared not openly show displeasure towards Lin Yanyu.
After all, Lin Zhaoyang was not someone to be trifled with.
Fortunately, Lin Yanyu was only attending as a guest for one episode and was not a permanent resident of the show, so she did not threaten her position.
…
"Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" is not a grand program.
It cannot compare to professional music shows like "The Masked Singer" in the variety show world.
Therefore, its inherent popularity is not too high.
It leans more towards variety entertainment, allowing viewers to watch the everyday lives of dozens of contestants.
Even if a contestant delivers a stunning performance, it only adds a highlight to the show.
The most screen time will always be given to those few popular female artists.
"Welcome to 'Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves,' exclusively sponsored by Bingxixixixixixixixixixi..."
With the host's advertisement, the recording of the show officially begins.
The first performer is Huo Qianwen, a faded singing and dancing singer.
This time she brought "I Am Just a Player," a classic old song written by the music god Mo Yan. The melody is lively and very suitable for singing and dancing.
As she performed, the recording scene was heated up.
Huo Qianwen's singing is very good. Although she has faded from the spotlight, her professional skills have not regressed, and she has even improved a lot.
What's more, she has maintained herself well. At forty years old, she still looks very young.
Her popularity on the show is also high, and she often ranks among the top few.
…
On the contestant stage, Lin Yanyu, as a guest, was seated next to Peng Buhong.
"Xiao Lin." Peng Buhong called her.
"Sister Hong, is something wrong?" Lin Yanyu was taken aback.
She naturally recognized Peng Buhong and knew her high status in the entertainment industry. She was considered a senior artist who had been active in various variety shows since her debut. Her connections were indeed impressive.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you, are you singing Ting Yu's new song this time?" Peng Buhong asked with a smile.
Lin Yanyu was stunned, then said meaningfully, "That's right."
"Well... you're also in the industry, and you know how the show works..." Peng Buhong wanted to say more.
Lin Yanyu smiled apologetically at her, "Sister Hong, let's watch the show, we can chat later."
She knew about the unwritten rules of the show, and she knew what Peng Buhong was about to say.
But none of that mattered to her. She wasn't interested in the rankings, but she wouldn't let her performance be imperfect just to make way for someone else.
Although Peng Buhong had good connections in the industry, Lin Yanyu clearly didn't buy into it.
Calling her Sister Hong was a sign of respect for a senior.
If she was really asked to yield to her.
Honestly speaking, Peng Buhong wasn't worthy.
"Hehe, then we'll chat later." Peng Buhong didn't show any displeasure, still smiling.
However, she felt annoyed inwardly.
Despite her annoyance, she wasn't foolish enough to show it.
Having thrived in the industry, Peng Buhong was not an idiot.
"Forget it, she might not necessarily get first place."
Because of her relationship with the production team, she was the first to get the news of Lin Yanyu's arrival, and she had made thorough preparations this time, so she might not lose!
