Chapter 497 What Is Skynet?

"The waves silently submerged the night deeply..."

"Look at the sea and sky, listen to the wind and rain..."

"Go back to the first encounter..."

"thank you all!"

On the stage, Ying Lan sang with all her concentration. Although she still couldn't avoid a few minor mistakes, overall it sounded like she was the best performer among the starting singers.

It can even be said that Ying Lan's performance is very close to that of the boss.

After watching the first and second episodes of "Singer", most viewers' expectations for this variety show are already to watch the performances of various celebrities.

But I didn’t expect that in the third and fourth periods, the intensity of confrontation could suddenly increase so much!

While it is highly enjoyable to watch, it can also be said to be full of exciting confrontation.

The judges who also came to the scene by helicopter applauded: "You sang very well!"

And the score this judge gave Ying Lan actually exceeded the boss's score!

Although in the end, based on the average of multiple judges and a panel of judges from all over the world, Ying Lan still lost in the total score, but this was also the first time that the challenger scored higher than the boss!

This shows that at least some people believe that the performance of the starting players can challenge the real stars.

Even if you have to do your best to jump to the point where others can perform freely and easily, it is a very gratifying progress.

In any case, the audience can see that the singers are not showing off, but trying their best to make up for the gap.

Just like the stagnant water that had started to stink suddenly had living water from a new spring pouring in, even if it was temporarily unable to compare with the big river opposite, at least there was hope of rejuvenation.

After thanking Ying Lan, she hurriedly came down from the stage. She couldn't wait to take out her cell phone that was charging and turned on the camera again.

Before the screen could load, she wailed in a low voice: "It's over, there were problems in the last two sections! My skills are still a bit lacking. I guess I'm out of luck this round, so I have to be prepared to be challenged."

Barrage: "Actually, your singing is pretty good. To be honest, although my friends usually attack you constantly, your performance this time was pretty good, no worse than those videos you posted."

"Lanlan is awesome. Your average score is the highest among all of them."

"This is quite normal. The order of performance is based on ranking. Lan Lan had defeated those singers in the previous qualifying match. It is not surprising that she is performing well now."

"I still remember what you looked like before you went on the variety show. There is a video to prove it, so you can't run away at all."

"Oh Lanlan."

"It's okay. The anchor can count on the two people in front of him to defeat the boss smoothly."

"I find it difficult. No matter whether they succeed or fail in challenging the boss, the top two will not be eliminated. I feel that they will still focus on preserving their strength and sing a song that is more beautiful but less difficult."

"That's a pity. I still want to see the showdown at Tianwang Mountain."

"It's okay...the knockout match will be better later!"

"..."

Ying Lan interacted with the barrage, and the boss challenge also came to an end.

Just as the barrage expected, the two top two singers chose the safest approach - neither letting their special skills be exposed prematurely, nor being embarrassed on the stage.

Even if it is a safety card, it is a very high quality safety card.

All the singers performed very well in this round of boss challenge, but in the end they still failed to challenge successfully, and the variety show entered the elimination round.

After shaking hands with the boss, the host came back on stage and said with a smile: "To be honest, this is the first time that I have seen such a high-intensity and fierce confrontation in the fourth episode of so many shows."

“Everyone played well!”

"But...a competition is a competition. Please take the starting singers on stage and prepare to accept the challenge of the alternative singers!"

"I'm very much looking forward to the next game!"

It doesn't matter if you fail in the boss challenge. At most, it means you failed to challenge the limit, which is harmless.

But the knockout round is different!

As long as you leave the stage, you will die permanently, with no hope of returning to the stage again.

So far, many star singers on the stage have been eliminated, and many of the remaining singers are not so famous. Such a traffic platform is very much needed.

If you can survive one more round, you will gain countless more fans!

If the boss challenge is a gorgeous one-on-one showdown between two knights, the knockout round is the most cruel and bloody minion fighting in the mud!

"Then, please invite the middle four contestants to come on stage first. You have two chances. As long as you win once, you can keep your position as the starting singer. Please come on!"

Seeing that Ying Lan, who had not been off stage for long, was about to go on stage again to participate in the elimination round, the anti-fans in the barrage immediately started talking non-stop again:

"Can Lan Lan survive this wave?"

"I think it's OK. She's ranked third. The opponent who challenges her won't be very strong, and she still has two chances. As long as she doesn't make consecutive mistakes, she can basically keep her position."

"Yeah, by the fourth round, I feel like everyone is in the zone and won't reveal so many flaws."

"That's not necessarily true. Kuaiguang Group is good at personnel arrangements."

"I think so too. Think about it, five of the eight starting singers were directly eliminated in the first round. What's the concept?"

"Is Lanlan in danger?"

"Depending on the performance, I don't think it will be easy to win... I have searched the works of these singers one by one based on this invitation list. My evaluation is that none of them are fuel-efficient."

"Yes, I have also gone to see them. The singing skills are indeed good. To be honest, we actually have quite a few folk masters."

"But the singing methods of many folk masters are actually not very scientific, and they don't have any good lyrics or music. It's too difficult for someone to get ahead just by singing well."

"So isn't this a "Singer" variety show? It doesn't matter anything else, as long as you sing well you are awesome."

"..."

At this time, not only the audience watching Ying Lan's live broadcast, but also the emotions of the cruise tourists in the audience were aroused to the extreme.

The whole theater was filled with shouts like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

If you can spend thousands of dollars to get this kind of experience, it’s definitely worth the money!

Not to mention Luo Ruyu’s concert the day after tomorrow!

…

The next day, in a certain room on the Liuguang.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, close to noon, Ying Lan was awakened by the alarm clock and jumped out of bed.

"Fuck, I actually succeeded in advancing!"

"Yesterday's knockout match was really scary."

While Ying Lan was preparing her live broadcast software, she was briefly washing up in the luxurious bathroom, thinking back to the tragic scene of yesterday's knockout match.

It can only be said that netizens still greatly underestimated the bloody level of this knockout match.

It stands to reason that the second batch of starting singers are much better than the first batch of starting singers, and they have also adapted to the rules and the intensity of the variety show, so that they will not be eliminated on a large scale.

But in the end, 4 people were still eliminated, one less than the first batch of singers!

Even Yinglan himself only retained his position by winning the second game after losing one!

"If we don't get into the top two in the qualifying round, we really won't be able to secure our starting position..." Ying Lan took a deep breath, "But it's okay. The next round of eliminations will have to wait until the sixth episode. And There is still a chance!”

After washing up and changing clothes, Ying Lan opened the live broadcast room.

Before the audience could say anything, she brushed away yesterday's anxiety and panic and raised her head with a sneer: "Where is Heizi? Heizi comes out! Heizi speaks!!! Will I be eliminated? There is no such possibility at all, okay."

The barrage immediately retorted: "I don't know who lost miserably in the first game yesterday and barely survived in the second game."

"You were beaten by someone else in the first game through simple human-computer speedrunning. Stop bragging."

"To be honest, your performance in the first round was really poor. Fortunately, you adjusted later, otherwise you would be standing here and being criticized by us."

"What is Lan Lan singing in the first song? Do you want to listen to it yourself?"

"Don't embarrass the little anchor."

"I told you a long time ago that this knockout match will definitely not be that simple."

"To be fair, the upper limit for anchors is actually quite high. The problem is that it is unstable and it is difficult to avoid some minor problems."

"To put it bluntly, I haven't studied systematically. I just rely on my talent."

"Anyway, I made the promotion smoothly. There were no near misses. The result is still good. What are the anchors planning to do today?"

Ying Lan laughed: "To celebrate my successful promotion, I spent a lot of money to buy a movie ticket. After lunch, I will watch Luo Ruyu's new movie at the Shanghai Cinema!"

Barrage: "Is it the hemispherical sphere you photographed on the last roller coaster?"

"I've seen a few videos online, and they seem really cool. Many people even announced that they would only watch movies on the streamer account from now on."

"Why? Does the movie theater on the ship have good service?"

"I heard that the immersion is very strong... All I have seen so far are text descriptions and no videos. It is probably because of copyright issues that no one is allowed to film inside."

"Then can the anchor bring live broadcast equipment in?"

"I heard that you can take it with you, but you can't take pictures of movie scenes, you can only take pictures of the movie theater environment. It's fine if you accidentally miss a little bit, but you can't take long shots."

"That's not bad. Anyway, I finished watching "The Redeemer" on the first day it was released. I can almost imagine the scene when the movie is playing just by looking at the environment."

"..."

Ying Lan: “I don’t know, but I’m looking forward to it anyway!”

While chatting with the barrage, Ying Lan went to the sea view restaurant at the bottom of the boat to have dinner. After signing autographs for a few new fans, she took her mobile phone to the side of the cinema.

This was her first time observing a movie theater so closely.

As introduced, the semicircular sphere surrounding the entire cinema is made up of screens. From the outside, you can see that the "Redeemer" promotional video is played in a very unique way.

Even travelers who have not bought movie tickets can guess how luxurious the interior is just by looking at this cinema.

"Another advantage of buying tickets on the ship is that you can just swipe the room card and there is no need to print additional tickets." Ying Lan muttered in a low voice, "Everyone, we are ready to check in. Let's take a look at the most mysterious thing on the whole ship. What does the place look like?”

The interior of this cinema is indeed very mysterious, and there are very few pictures and information, let alone film and television information.

Ying Lan is unique in the entire Internet for being able to carry a camera.

Many travel enthusiasts and even travel agencies who don't watch variety shows or care about music variety shows quietly came to the live broadcast room, waiting for the moment when this mysterious theater was unveiled.

After checking the ticket, Ying Lan stepped into the hemisphere with excitement.

She was shocked by the scene before she took two steps.

The corridor, the ceiling, the ground... just a door away, she seemed to have come from a luxury cruise ship to a giant enterprise with strict supervision and a depressing atmosphere.

Although she could not see the camera, it seemed that there was a pair of cold eyes looking at her every moment.

"It feels creepy!" Ying Lan said truthfully.

"This special effect and this lighting are awesome! Is the current scene the interior of the villain's company?"

Before Ying Lan could reply, a female voice with a slightly electronic mechanical sound suddenly appeared beside her.

"This employee, please return to your workstation as soon as possible and be on standby at any time. A crisis that will sweep the entire company is about to come."

Ying Lan was frightened by the sudden voice and turned her head suddenly, and found that Luo Ruqin had stood aside at some point, scanning every tourist who came in to watch the movie with an indifferent look.

Good, such a strong sense of substitution!

I feel like I'm already in a movie scene!

Ying Lan found her seat, sat down quietly, and whispered: "Is this the daily work of Kuiguang Group? Was Luo Ruying the real person just now or just a video?"

Barrage: "It's true, don't ask me why, because I've been here and talked to her."

"Well, although I haven't been on the ship, as an employee of the group, I still have to clarify that our company is not this kind of working environment."

"Ahhh, Xiao Luo is completely different from her usual image!"

"Hiss, I feel that this scene really feels like Skynet. I can't wait to stand on the side of the villain and sacrifice my life to defend the great AI."

"Wow, the entire movie scene will be surrounded by the theater, I suddenly want to watch a movie in this theater! I heard that there is also a part of the plot under the sea. I can't imagine how spectacular it is."

Just as the barrage was discussing fiercely, other tourists also entered one after another and sat in their seats in shock.

More than ten minutes later, the light of the cinema suddenly dimmed.

Anyone who has seen the movie knows that this is a sign that the main film is about to begin.

The opening scene of the movie "Redeemer" is an urgent military meeting in a branch of the company.

Da Da Da...

Various complicated footsteps sounded, and it sounded as if many important people were rushing to the meeting room.

Suddenly, there was only one footstep left.

It was very clear, but it came from the back...

Almost all the tourists subconsciously looked back.

They saw Luo Ruqin walking past them and walking towards the screen. Just like that, she walked into the screen in front of everyone and entered the movie screen.

Ying Lan looked at her with her eyes wide open: "Fuck! This is too handsome!!!" (End of this chapter)
