Chapter Ninety-Two: Mentor Lottery (Including Forum)...

Wei Ye stared into thought as he looked at the content on the forum.

These people behind the scenes seem to be in a hurry. The one who can be this anxious is probably a rival company. The specially invited judges they arranged were eliminated, and it is rumored online that Riviera and six others are neatly in the top six.

But this incident that has been exposed...

Wei became even more certain that Kai Di, Bai He, and one or more people within the Weier organization were intricately connected.

The post's popularity continues to rise.

The top comments on the post were all from fans of other companies and groups, eager to stir up trouble.

3L: Selling sunflower seeds in the front row~

6L: That's true. From what I know, most of the outstanding trainees that Will's big fans follow have already been decided on their debut groups. Who would still come out and show their face in public?

26L: This thread probably won't attract any eternal six-star fans anymore, they've probably lost their nerve, haha.

32L: As a Will fan, I've never heard of these people. I can only say that they represent the lowest level of Will fans.

36L: Hahaha, so it turns out to be a nobody that Will Company wouldn't even give a second glance.

40L: I checked Will's Weibo and other platforms, and there's no trace of these people at all. What kind of prince are the fans hyping him up for? It's really laughable.

...

The comments at the top of the list received a lot of likes and made it to the top of the trending topics. Unsuspecting people who clicked on the post were immediately swayed by the content of the top comments.

In the group of six eternal stars, they did indeed break down.

But it wasn't because of being ridiculed by others, but because the six members were unfairly treated by the Will Company that broke their defenses.

"I found it strange from the start. Why are other companies so eager for their teams to participate? If your company, Will, had just sent out a few artists to campaign for votes, the initial rankings of the six teams wouldn't have been so volatile."

"I heard that for this special guest review event, all the other companies arranged for their own reviewers to be included in advance, but only Will didn't. That garbage company should just get out of here!"

"It's probably true. Stars, get ready. This damn company is doing nothing. The six of us really want to debut as a group together, and this is the only way. We have to work harder. The six of us really only have us left [crying]."

"I'm a long-time fan of Will. I don't know where this drama queen came from, pretending to be a Will fan in that post. I've been following the trainees on Chasing Light for a long time. Please don't let the post lead you astray and make you question their level. Putting aside the overwhelming level of skill they've already shown in the show, their level is definitely among the top trainees in Will's company."

"Same here. I also switched from being a fan of Will to being a fan of Yongliu. Now some people are trying to muddy the waters and distort Will's indifference to make Yongliu's team seem weak. We must not panic. Don't go up that post. Leave a few fans to refute it in that post. The rest of you should quickly start a few new posts and pay attention to your wording!"

"Will's longtime fan +1. If you can still be swayed and fooled in our Yongliu group, you might as well not play on the forum. Don't you have any judgment? Xu You is Xu Cangyan's nephew, needless to say. Ren Yuchen and Gu Huailang are the ones that the Chasing Light Alliance group has been betting on for a long time. Meng Fanxi is definitely the most watched newcomer. A lot of people wanted to dig up his face photos back then. Lin Ruohe has such high national popularity. Zhang Yang comes and goes freely, and Will treats him like his own home. If these people are really disliked by the company, why don't they just terminate their contracts? Why would they allow them to appear on shows under Will's name?"

"Don't fall into the self-justification trap! Yong-ryul and his group are the best! They are far ahead in the show, their strength is far superior, and those people are so happy to put Yong-ryul down, but when they see their own idols are ranked outside the top ten!"

"I've completely turned against Weir Company; from now on, I'll only support Yongliu!"

...

Although the fans of the eternal six-star group panicked at first, they became even more furious after understanding the implications. They went all out on platforms such as the "Group as Camp" group, the Chasing Light Alliance, Weibo, and Douyin, taking screenshots of the initial trigger and starting groups everywhere.

The complaints were all about Will Company suppressing new trainees. Even malicious whistleblowers could tell that Will Company treated Eternal Six Stars badly, as the six boys never said a bad word about the company on the show.

Some fans even took screenshots of all of Eternal Six Stars' comments about debuting in the group so far on the show. Combined with that revelation, the fans were heartbroken, and even the bystanders felt sorry for them.

No wonder they were adamant about not adding any members when the Fancy group was disbanded.

No wonder they are always the most hardworking group of trainees in Reuters reports, despite their already strong skills.

No wonder they only had the desire to debut in the top nine and had no sense of superiority as trainees of Will.

It turns out they had no way out; the only chance Will Company was giving them was to debut on this show.

Another passerby posted a video they casually filmed at the airport: "I took this by chance at the airport. At the time, I thought the scene was heartwarming and funny, but now looking at it, tsk tsk tsk..."

In the video, six handsome young men in casual clothes hug the person in the middle one after another. They look dazed as if they have just woken up, and their hugs seem to be forcing themselves to be strong. They are surrounded by their own luggage.

Fans immediately compared the photos and found that the clothes were the same as those taken at the airport in Yuncheng on the same day as the "Group Camp" report, indicating that this was a departure video before the plane took off. The person being hugged was also recognized by everyone; he was from the Will Company.

Their attention wasn't on the embrace, but rather on—

What a terrible company! They only sent one person to see us off at the airport!

Even though only one person saw them off at the airport, all six of them seemed very touched.

Fans felt a pang of heartache, heartbroken for all the grievances the six boys suffered during their early, unknown days, and heartbroken that their sincere feelings were misplaced.

What lovable, strong, and tragic beauties!

What a despicable and heartless company!

Countless fans who had been loyal to the six-star team were directly turned into fans after being tortured by the situation. Countless fans of the company, Will Company, could not accept that their company, which had always loved marketing, was humane, and treated its artists and trainees well, was showing no compassion for the participating teams. They also unfollowed the company and joined the camp of only six stars.

The number of members in the Eternal Six-Star group forum is constantly increasing, and the number of members in each member group is also rising sharply, with the growth rate even ranking among the top in the entire forum.

Discussions and followers of the "Eternal Six Stars" item have increased significantly across various platforms.

As a loyal fan of Meng Fanxi, Yu Zhiruo received more attention and spoke more cautiously after becoming one of the founding members of Meng Fanxi's group forum and fan club. She usually stayed silent and lurked.

After this incident, even she couldn't help but post in the group: "It was already difficult for Fanxi to go from Baihe to Weier. Weier and Baihe didn't get along to begin with. This is probably Fanxi's last chance. Everyone must give Fanxi a lot of support."

Meng Fanxi's fans all replied in the post that they felt the same way. Heartache and resentment filled their hearts. They were determined to give Meng Fanxi strength and push him to the top. They could not allow any unstable factors to exist.

The commotion on the forum had already reached all platforms, and some users on each platform were puzzled: why would Will Company stand against such a suitable group of six people?

Could there be a misunderstanding? Is it actually that Weir Company doesn't want to put pressure on them?

A rational and long-time fan of Will Company analyzed the combinations launched by Will Company over the years, and found that each combination had a clear distinction between strong and weak. In comparison, the configuration of the Eternal Six Stars was too comprehensive.

A veteran fan analyzed that, without exaggeration, these six people could form a group that could debut as three of Will's. As a company, profit comes first, and they may see six people forming a group as a 'waste'.

Wei raised an eyebrow, clicked his tongue in agreement, and then silently liked the post using his alternate account.

There are many experts among ordinary people; they have analyzed almost all the facts of the matter.

Fans from all walks of life are analyzing the situation with great enthusiasm. The most direct reflection of this is the surge in views of the eternal six stars for "The Group" on E-Station and the fan-made videos of each member. The content of the videos is almost entirely based on themes such as "resistance under oppression", "lonely journey", and "pure heart", which are both heart-wrenching and passionate, with inspirational themes bursting forth from the passion.

Fans who watched the video were energized, and bystanders were thrilled and felt affection for the members. The platform data of the Yongliu members increased several times over.

As an unavoidable central figure in the discussion about Wei'er and Bai He, Meng Fanxi has gained more die-hard fans because of the more brutal situation she faces.

Each member of the Eternal Six Stars has become the hottest topic again without their knowledge, as evidenced by data from various platforms. Even though the real-time vote count on the Starlight Video APP is not displayed, industry insiders analyze that the vote count is definitely growing rapidly.

Wei was keeping a close eye on the current situation, feeling both gratified and moved, as the group always seemed to have the ability to turn the tide.

If they knew that more and more people supported and liked them, they would probably be so happy they couldn't sleep.

He gave a sarcastic laugh; the mastermind's plan had failed once again.

Those people may think that fans like Eternal Six Stars because they are backed by Will Company, and that the halo of this big company attracts so many so-called 'fans who admire strength'.

The people behind the scenes are looking down on the fans. Will is just a way for them to get to know them. Without real talent, how could they attract so many fans?

With a "whoosh," in an office unknown to Wei, everything on the desk was swept to the floor in a fit of rage. The instigator watched the current public opinion trend with a gloomy expression.

...

In the studio, everyone's attention was focused on the stage, where the five mentors used rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of the draw.

The mentors took turns holding the lottery balls, but none of them opened them. They each turned around to see the contents of the balls before turning back.

Meng Fanxi seemed to sense a faint gaze directed at them, and that was...

The mentors walked one by one down to the teams they had drawn.

They are all very good at creating entertainment value; each of them would hover around in front of each team for almost half a minute before revealing the result.

One by one, the mysteries were revealed, and cheers came from the trainee teams. Xu You couldn't sit still any longer and became restless on the side.

The remaining two are Zhu Lou and Fu Hanfei.

As for Zhu Lou, as previously analyzed, he is quite suitable for campaigning and is also very familiar with them.

Fu Hanfei is a dance master, but their third performance will definitely involve more than just dancing; they will also sing. If it's Fu Hanfei, the format of the collaboration stage will be a problem.

Zhu Lou was the first to come down. He clowned around in front of the six eternal stars for a bit, then walked away without looking back...

As cheers erupted from behind, Fu Hanfei walked straight toward them.
