Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 598: Star of Entertainment Semifinals

Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Star of Entertainment Semifinals

When Selena Kensington sat down at the guest judge’s seat, the staff member who had led her there prepared to leave.

"The backstage is not far, if you need anything please call me through the earpiece."

"Okay."

Selena nodded slightly.

Then the staff member left.

After the person left, the judges from Star of Entertainment who shared the seat with Selena came over to greet her.

"Director Kensington, it’s an honor to meet you..."

Selena smiled and exchanged pleasantries with them for a while, then settled in her seat.

Before her were some buttons and a tablet.

On the tablet, she could see detailed information about the contestants, their previous performances, and the segments they would perform in this semi-final. All this information was updated in real-time.

Perhaps because the competition had not officially started, the upcoming performance segments were not yet updated on the tablet.

Selena browsed the information, characteristics, and strengths of the contestants for a while...

When she finished reviewing almost everything, she noticed quite a few spectators entering through the main doors of the venue.

These should be the ticket-holding audience members.

Upon entering, they searched for their seats according to their seat numbers.

Once seated, they instinctively looked towards the stage.

Upon seeing Selena Kensington on stage, they began to discuss among themselves.

"It’s Selena Kensington! Selena is actually here!..."

"When the show announced there would be a mysterious guest judge, I guessed it would be Selena!"

"Ah, Director Kensington is here, this episode’s ratings are guaranteed!"

"Director Kensington is so beautiful! It’s a real shame she’s not acting!"

"If Director Kensington were to act, perhaps some would not agree..."

"That’s true, hahaha..."

"Getting to see Director Kensington up close at this competition is worth the ticket price!"

After chatting for a while, they quieted down following the staff’s signals.

Once most of the audience had entered, the recording of the show began.

At this moment, the staff member walked back up, "Ms. Kensington, soon you’ll need to appear with the judges from the lift platform backstage."

Selena nodded slightly, "Understood."

Then she left her seat along with the other judges.

Once everyone from the judges’ table had left, the host took his position.

Then, this episode of Star of Entertainment officially began recording.

The host came up, "Welcome to the audience here, the audience in front of the TV, and friends in the live streaming room to the semi-finals of Star of Entertainment!!!"

As the host finished speaking, a warm round of applause erupted.

"For this semi-final, the format is the same as before. However, our contestants will be aided by their senior classmates who have already debuted, helping them complete the performance!"

"Without further ado, let’s welcome our three judges!"

Amidst the sound effects and cheers from the audience, the three judges descended from the lift platform onto the stage, then proceeded to the judges’ table.

But the host didn’t immediately start the next part of the competition.

"Everyone must be curious why there’s an extra seat by the judges’ table today, right?"

"Yes!!!!"

The audience responded in great cooperation.

"For this semi-final, we are honored to invite a guest judge."

"Let’s unveil her true identity! Please welcome her!"

Amidst the audience’s expectant voices and enthusiastic applause, Selena Kensington emerged from backstage.

Her appearance provoked no small amount of cheers and barrage comments on the streaming platform.

[Ahhh those legs! I can!]

[Her walk is so cool! So fierce!]

[I guessed the guest judge would be her! I was right this time!]

[So envious of those present who can observe her up close, sob sob sob...]

With Selena’s appearance, Star of Entertainment’s official live streaming platform saw an influx of her fans.

Bringing quite a bit of traffic at once.

When Selena took her seat at the judges’ table, the host continued.

Selena looked at the tablet in front of her, which now displayed the final results from the random draw among the contestants.

In this semi-final, the production team arranged four performance segments.

Contestants randomly drew them before the official start of the competition.

These four segments were excerpts from works of the four judges.

Star of Entertainment selected the segment of the farewell between Yara Helmsworth and Zane Quinn, the protagonists of Immortal Path.

Selena glanced at the contestants who drew this segment.

There were three or four...

Among these three or four, there was Annelise Mayfield...

Selena remembered that this segment was filmed in Westport and also the segment that tested Yara Helmsworth’s psychological transition the most, where her inner emotions were expressed on her face.

Thus, this segment was an advantage for Annelise Mayfield.

It would depend on the synergy with her partner.

Sloane Hawthorne and Vivian Sutton drew the sisterhood segment from The Peerless Genius.

Being quite familiar with Sloane Hawthorne and Vivian Sutton, Selena wasn’t worried about their rapport.

Moreover, with their acting skills, as long as they performed normally, the first place shouldn’t be a problem.

Then Selena watched as the contestants one by one took the stage to perform.

After their performance, the audience had a timer to vote for them, and the judges also provided feedback, encouragement, and scores.

Selena’s role as a guest judge was to point out their shortcomings and areas for improvement.

Having watched a few contestants’ performances, Selena then saw Vivian Sutton and Sloane Hawthorne appear.

The two had collaborated before, and recently Sloane Hawthorne’s popularity had soared due to Butterfly Flame.

Hence, once they appeared, Selena could clearly feel the enthusiastic atmosphere on site.

Not to mention the countless online viewers in the live broadcast room.

[OMG! Lily Payne and Faith Fuller’s reunion!!!]

[Sloane looks even more beautiful! I love this look!]

[The sisterhood image from The Peerless Genius is so ingrained in people’s hearts, looking forward to their performance!]

[Ahhhh so excited! This is the duo I’m most looking forward to!]

[Vivian Sutton herself isn’t lacking in ability, coupled with Sloane Hawthorne’s strong support, first place seems certain.]

[People upstairs may have forgotten about the dark horse Annelise Mayfield.]

[Annelise Mayfield truly has been unexpected in this show.]

The Peerless Genius is a movie about a pair of sisters.

Vivian Sutton played the older sister, and Sloane Hawthorne played the younger sister.

The segment they needed to perform was the sisters’ reunion as enemies, eventually recognizing each other.

With the change in stage lighting, the two began their performance.
