Upon entering the corridor paved with white translucent floor tiles, in the office surrounded by glass curtain walls, three staff members sat in the referee's seats, while fewer than five people lined up in front of the door.
Perhaps it's because we arrived too early.
Yang Feng followed closely behind them, waiting quietly, his eyes scanning the surroundings to get a general idea of what was going on.
This place can hold a huge number of people; absolutely, the final performance will be held here.
After a long while, the last person came out. He was a very sweet-looking boy, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked like he had stepped out of a comic book, and you could easily see the joy on his face.
Yang Feng glanced at him, then pushed open the glass door, went inside, took out a white envelope, and handed it to the table.
"Hello, please have a seat." At this moment, a female staff member gently extended her hand.

Chapter 192 Internal Selection Before the Preliminary Round
"Welcome! My name is Zhang Xinhua. We have a few questions for you. If your selection criteria are not good enough, we may not accept you. The main criteria are musical talent, and secondly, appearance..."
Zhang Xinhua placed a white A4 sheet of paper on the table, with lines of unclear content on it. Holding a water-based pen in his right hand, he pushed up his glasses and said without any mercy.
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng frowned slightly. It was normal to test musical ability, but why did he also need good looks?
"You might wonder why good looks are necessary. It's because if you pass the final competition, you can enter the entertainment industry, where entertainment companies will fully train you to become a star."
Zhang Xinhua placed his hands on the pure white desk and began to speak.
"Hmm... With such powerful beauty filters these days, plus the amazing makeup techniques of our great China, can't we all pass muster on TV?"
Yang Feng hesitated for a moment, then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
When it comes to makeup artistry, my country is truly the best. Someone who falls into the water can instantly become a stranger...
"What you said makes sense. Makeup and beauty technology is indeed much better than before, and many soft-focus effects have been used."
Zhang Xinhua glanced at the staff member beside him, then turned to Yang Feng and said:
"You're quite pretty, but it's your overall aura that's important. So you don't need to worry about your looks. Actually, anyone can look handsome or beautiful on TV if they dress up nicely."
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng touched his cheek and thought to himself with self-admiration: Am I just good-looking? I realized I was quite handsome when I was in school, otherwise why would girls often turn around to look at me?
Could it be that I'm just imagining things?
"Alright, the next question is what other musical talents you have besides piano skills, such as singing, playing guitar or dancing, anything related to music is fine, but of course, piano skills are a must."
Zhang Xinhua adjusted his glasses and said slowly.
Yang Feng smiled slightly. He had a captivating voice when it came to singing, master-level dancing skills, and his piano playing was already beyond compare.
"Singing and dancing are my strengths besides the piano."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinhua's eyes suddenly lit up. He slightly extended his hand and said, "Alright, could you sing a short a cappella now?"
"Can."
Yang Feng nodded almost imperceptibly, then cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and began to sing.
"Will you remember the diary you wrote yesterday tomorrow? Will you think of the you who used to cry the most?"
With the added bonus of a mesmerizing vocal voice, her voice carries a slightly eerie quality and is as melodious as flowing water.
Zhang Xinhua and the two staff members beside him nodded in agreement.
"That concludes the interview. Congratulations on your successful interview. Please come to the auditorium at 2 PM today to begin the competition. You will need to showcase your musical talent for the professional music mentors at this music festival to evaluate you. Please be prepared. Your number is 11."
Then, two staff members next to me briefly explained the rules again, which were completely different from this interview selection and the previous piano talent show.
You have the freedom to choose your combination on stage. You can sing and play guitar, sing and dance, or sing and play piano.
After taking his number, Yang Feng stood up, turned around, and pushed open the glass door to go outside. He happened to see Lin Yoona waiting in line outside.
I almost forgot, she's also here to participate in the music festival performance competition.
"Yang Feng, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Just now, while queuing outside, looking through the glass curtain wall, Lim Yoona felt that the boy's back looked familiar. When he turned around, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little nervous.
"Unfortunately." Yang Feng glanced at her calmly, then walked towards the auditorium.
Watching his departing figure, a hint of sadness flashed in Lin Yoona's eyes, her delicate nose tingled, and she murmured softly:
"What did I do wrong? Why are you being so cold to me..."
Stepping out of the auditorium, Yang Feng arrived on the street. Looking at the bustling crowds and the coming and going vehicles, he realized it was still early, with about four more hours to go.
He plans to accept a wave of daily quests to obtain scrolls.
He immediately opened the task list and accepted a task with a relatively large number of scrolls.
"Ding! You have successfully gained 5,000 new followers in one day. Reward for successful completion: 50 scrolls. Penalty for failure: None."
Gain more followers?!
Yang Feng frowned slightly. How could he possibly gain five thousand fans? He sighed inwardly, regretting that he hadn't accepted the missions so readily. There was no punishment yet.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time and see how things go.
