Chapter 357: Chapter 358: Resounding Throughout the Hall

He Jinxia smiled at her, shook her head, and a confident smile crossed her face, "I’m not nervous."

She had always felt that she wouldn’t be nervous, from the beginning of the rehearsals to coming to the venue today, she hadn’t felt nervous.

But just standing below the stage, waiting for the moment to ascend, her heart suddenly began to beat faster.

"Thump—" The elevator suddenly moved, and both of their figures trembled, followed by the sound of it slowly rising. He Jinxia took a deep breath, steadying her increasingly fast-beating heart.

She watched as Yang Xingxin, standing next to her, continued to step down, stepping off the lift and onto the stage before her.

A burst of raucous, spirited music sounded through the whole venue, instantly overwhelming the entire gymnasium. Her ears were filled with the sounds of music and the audience’s cheers.

He Jinxia closed her eyes, feeling the platform beneath her feet start to rise, and suddenly, at that moment, the voice of the director came through her earpiece. She opened her eyes, took a step forward, and appeared dazzlingly before all the spectators.

"Ah!!!"

The audience screamed even more fiercely. The sports arena, capable of holding ten thousand people, had become an ocean of noise. The shouts formed a powerful wave, as if to blow He Jinxia away.

"Boom thump! Boom thump! Boom thump..."

The sound of her heartbeat became remarkably clear amidst the noisy scene. He Jinxia waved her hands, moving to her designated spot with a smile according to the rehearsal positions, and then, she heard her own voice—

Ringing out through the entire gymnasium!

Participating in such a grand opening show for the first time, He Jinxia’s performance was very dignified. Her singing was steady and her diction clear, showing no hint of panic; she held the audience, coordinating exceptionally well with Yang Xingxin.

Soon, Yang Xingxin’s and He Jinxia’s showtime came to a perfect end, and the next act to take the stage was the JY girl group and their invited guest, a strong up-and-coming first-line female singer.

"JY! JY! JY..."

He Jinxia sat in the special guest seat next to her mentor, hearing some of the audience chanting for JY, complex emotions crossing her eyes.

Suddenly, she somewhat understood why the original He Jinxia, even though she knew she was overweight and didn’t fit with the team’s development, didn’t want to leave.

Standing on the huge stage, with neon lights constantly flashing and the audience below shouting her name, that unique feeling is something an actor cannot experience.

As if a divine being, gloriously descended.

The mentors’ opening shows were performed one by one, and then the contestants entered, beginning today’s competition sequence.

Each special guest introduced themselves after the contestants performed, and when it was a certain mentor’s contestant’s turn, the corresponding special guest made their introduction.

Yang Xingxin’s contestant, Fu Junyi, unfortunately was the last to perform, so He Jinxia’s introduction was also delayed for a long time.

Some viewers in the audience were He Jinxia’s fans, and seeing He Jinxia appear in Yang Xingxin’s opening show, they eagerly posted on Weibo, WeChat, QQ, and other platforms, excitedly telling others the news.

Zilei: "Oh my god, I actually saw Fat Emperor at the Music Strongest Sound competition venue!!"

Starting and Ending: "+1! Jinxia actually showed up on the show, it scared me too!"

Ulurico: "Begging for a dynamic gif, I want to lick my screen _(:з」∠)_"

Yi Wang: "Licking the screen with you _(:з」∠)_ps: Why wasn’t this revealed in advance, if I had known Fat Emperor would be there I would have fought to the death for a ticket to this episode ahhh [going crazy]"]

In the fan group, some people shared blurry photos of Fat Emperor appearing on the big screen, immediately exciting the fans.

Even fans who had been silent for years resurfaced, and while Cheng Xiaohua was managing comments backstage, her phone nearly crashed from the barrage of messages from the fan group.

At the same time, Zhang Dayou uploaded a short video clip to He Jinxia’s personal site, featuring He Jinxia singing with Yang Xingxin.

Zhang Dayou was also at the scene, sitting in a VIP seat, with a clear view of He Jinxia on stage. He was carrying a high-definition professional camera borrowed from the company, uploading snippets of exciting videos to the website.

He had obtained permission from the Music Strongest Sound production team to film these clips, so there wouldn’t be any issues. Luo You was managing He Jinxia’s Weibo, reposting these audiovisual images from the personal site.

This episode of the competition wasn’t broadcast live but pre-recorded for later editing and will formally meet the audience next week.

To attract more viewers, some pre-show hype and exposure were necessary. They released a few exciting clips to whet people’s appetites, so when the time came, everyone could make plans with their friends to watch the show together—how delightful~

Other special guests also had filming done, immediately uploading the footage to Weibo. They spent a lot of money hiring a Water Army to dominate the top ten trending spots.

As a result, that evening, it seemed as though everyone on Weibo was discussing Music Strongest Sound; it appeared the show was omnipresent.

He Jinxia’s team didn’t choose to spend money hiring a Water Army to boost popularity; they just tagged Music Strongest Sound’s official account, riding on the coat-tails of other celebrities’ visibility, and effortlessly experienced a mini surge in traffic.

The surge might have been small, but it’s better than anything money could buy, because winning without trying is still winning, and with teammates like that, what could she do ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Time flew by, and soon it was Fu Junyi’s performance.

Fu Junyi performed a high-energy song, singing and dancing to showcase his impressive overall abilities.

After his performance, Yang Xingxin and He Jinxia stood up together, spoke about Fu Junyi’s difficulties and improvements during this period, campaigned for him, and then Yang Xingxin introduced He Jinxia, saying she had given her a lot of help.

"Everyone knows, Jinxia was a member of a girl group and has deep insight into singing and dancing. Her arrival brought me a lot of help and broadened Fu Junyi’s path. Many of the expressions through body movements he showed on stage today were instructed by Jinxia."

He Jinxia quickly responded with modesty, "You’re too kind. Sister Xingxin has already taught Junyi very well. I just gave a little advice, and Junyi was able to understand and execute it perfectly."

After the two exchanged mutual humility, the host steered the conversation towards JY girl group, sowing discord on purpose:

"Teacher He Jinxia, today you’re here to help Teacher Yang Xingxin, but your former group members, Li Zimu and Meng Wan, are mentoring another contestant. Will you feel conflicted about whom to help?"

This question was also pre-arranged by the show’s production team. All members from the JY girl group, one soloist soaring high recently, while the others were still polishing their craft in the lukewarm girl group—just jotting down a few words makes for an explosive subject.
