After Xiwen opened the curtain on the third part of the competition, the guests returned to the lounge to prepare for the upcoming competition.
At the same time, the program team released pre-match interview videos of them.
As Clephia excels in every aspect, she is naturally the first to appear.
The background clearly shows that the pre-match interview was recorded at Clefia's home.
She sat on a single sofa, with expensive-looking recording equipment behind her.
What prompted you to agree to record the show?
“I’ve known the director for a long time and met him a few times. Once he jokingly asked me if I still wanted to go on stage, and I nodded. I didn’t expect that he would actually invite me.”
Are you confident of winning the championship?
"I will be very confident on stage, but to be honest, my voice is not as good as it used to be. How much I can perform depends entirely on my condition at the time. I just hope my fans won't be disappointed."
"If you are eliminated, will you feel a big sense of loss?"
"Of course I will, but I'm mentally prepared. In any industry, it's likely to be dominated by young people... Just like the dilemma faced by actresses, around the age of forty, their roles become increasingly limited. Singers are similar, but I will do my best."
Clementi kept saying that he was getting old.
Given her appearance, which is in her thirties, it's really jarring to watch.
But it's a fact that he's old.
A flood of comforting comments immediately appeared in the live chat.
The next moment, the camera shifts, and the scene changes to Louis sitting on a park bench.
He looked as if he had just finished work, and his face still showed signs of fatigue.
He answered the program's questions more concisely.
When asked why he participated in the show's recording, he simply said, "The director invited me."
When asked if he could win the championship, he replied, "I'll do my best."
When asked about his opinion of the other guests, he simply said, "They are all excellent."
It's nothing special, but when translated into the common language of Earth, it consists of four characters each, which makes many female fans exclaim that it's "kind of cute".
After Louise came the four members of Metallica.
During their interviews, the lead singer did most of the talking.
According to fans, the other three members all have some degree of social anxiety.
They were interviewed in the evening.
Judging from the background, it's clearly a bar.
"Why did you participate in the show's recording?" the lead singer asked rhetorically, then replied matter-of-factly, "Because the director is our boss!"
"Huh?" The crew members were clearly unaware of this and made a surprised sound.
"Don't you know? This shop is owned by a director, and we occasionally perform here."
"Very few celebrities would do that."
"Because metal rock doesn't have a large audience, there are many like-minded people here, and we like the part-time jobs here."
"Would you feel regretful if you were eliminated after singing this kind of song on stage?"
"No," the lead singer said nonchalantly. "It's enough for us to have a stage to sing on."
No one expected their answer to be so 'simple'.
However, those familiar with metal bands are not surprised.
After all, all four of them came from very ordinary families, and their rise to fame was entirely due to luck.
Their ability to maintain this mindset after so many years in the industry is one of the reasons for their strong fan loyalty.
Then, the camera shifted again.
The person being interviewed is Rosalyn, who is practicing in the dance studio.
She was covered in sweat and had no makeup on.
Nevertheless, she showed no hesitation or shyness when facing the camera.
The topic of how hard Rosalyn works in private has been discussed countless times, so it was expected that she would give an interview under these circumstances.
"You're asking why I participated in the show? Do you want to hear lies or the truth?"
Without waiting for a reply from the staff, she answered on her own:
"If I were to lie, it would be that I have great faith in our new director's abilities, and participating in the recording might bring me a great advantage."
"What's the truth?" someone asked.
The truth is—
"I was tricked into participating in the show by the director." Rosalin paused after saying this, then coughed twice before continuing, "However, I personally really want to compete on the same stage with other singers, and I also enjoy accepting challenges."
"What if we lose?"
"If you're not convinced, then fight. If you lose, you can try again next time."
The production team has already confirmed several guests. Are you familiar with them? What are your thoughts on them?
"I've heard their songs, but I don't know them personally. As for my opinion... it's a shame, they're all incredibly talented, there's not a single one who isn't amazing!"
Rosalyn was good at setting the mood, so the staff's interview with her went on for a bit longer.
Sean was interviewed after her.
Sean wasn't as taciturn as Louis.
But he seemed a bit gloomy and not the type of person who was easy to approach.
When asked about his reasons for participating in the recording, his answer was similar to Louis's: "The director invited me."
This time, the staff asked an extra question, "As far as we know, you originally had a small concert planned, which was already in the preparation stage, but you postponed the date specifically for this program. Do you have high hopes for this program?"
Sean: "..."
After a long silence, he finally asked, "Do I have to tell the truth?"
“Yes.” The staff member said confidently, “This is what the director emphasized, saying that as long as it’s not too outrageous, please feel free to speak your mind.”
“Oh.” Sean looked like he understood and immediately replied, “Because Richard and I are classmates, and he asked me to go on the show to make up the numbers for him.”
Everyone: "..."
The staff at the scene all fell silent.
The audience has more to say about that.
[I never imagined Sean was the one with connections...]
[Their presence is so low despite their connections... how good must their relationship be behind the scenes? They really are just filling in the numbers.]
[I'm curious which school this student is from.]
[You can't tell at all that it's a case of favoritism! So the production team is really quite fair?]
……
Richard probably didn't expect that Sean's habitual low profile would improve the reputation of his show.
However, Sean answered the next question in a rather conventional way.
He's the kind of person who doesn't have much self-confidence; when asked about winning or losing, he'll only say he'll try his best to win.
Not to mention whether it would be a pity to lose.
Dolly was interviewed after him.
Dolly looks even younger in her casual clothes; without makeup, her face could easily be described as that of a Lolita.
In contrast to Sean, who wasn't as competitive, her face clearly showed her desire to win.
"I wanted to participate in the show myself," she said frankly. "My agent put several program proposals on my desk, and I picked this one at first glance."
"At that time, I was still listening to two songs sung by Chen Yubai. I didn't think much about it. Anyway, I was happy to compete with my peers."
"I want to win the championship. Although it will be very difficult, I will do my best."
"If I cry when I lose, will the judges give me more votes? If not, then at least I won't cry when I lose."
