"Mr. Zhou, you are smiling so happily, you can't tell that you feel regretful at all!" Guan Fei retorted speechlessly.

"But to be honest, they performed quite well tonight." Zhou Yiyang stood up: "It's just that the number of votes was a little lower than I expected."

The assistants tried very hard to calm their surprise, thinking that Mr. Zhou had very high expectations for Moonlight Girl.

Unexpectedly, they both received more than 7 million votes, more than 1 million more than the second-place Iron-Masked Man, but Zhou Yiyang still thought that the number of votes was low.

After hearing Zhou Yiyang's words, Guan Fei remained calm. With her high professionalism, she found a reasonable answer for Zhou Yiyang within a minute:

"Brother Yang, you're actually right. I think there are two reasons why the vote count is so low."

"Firstly, they were scheduled to perform too late. Plus, many netizens thought Yue Shao's popularity was enough to guarantee her advancement, and many people weren't clear about the voting rules. As a result, by the time Yue Shao performed, many people were left without tickets."

"Well, let me interrupt." Zhou Yiyang cleared his throat and said, "Then you can see later whether the number of VIP members has increased significantly during their performance."

"Of course there are." Guan Fei had obviously noticed this just now: "This means that many people have opened memberships just to vote for them."

"Let's go back to the second reason. I'm acquainted with several of Yue Shao's big fan groups. I also know that they've been organizing milk purchases recently and have stockpiled a lot of tickets."

"But halfway through Yue Shao's performance today, their votes had already exceeded five million, which means they are firmly in the top five and will definitely advance."

"If you look at the growth rate, you'll find that after five million, the growth rate of votes slowed down a lot. Many people stopped voting after they noticed Yue Shao was promoted."

"Almost none of the votes prepared by the major fan groups were cast. They've already secured promotion, so any more votes would be a waste."

Guan Fei shrugged: "Speaking of which, it's because the opponent isn't strong enough, so there's no need for fans to go all-in."

The assistants were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the reason why Yue Shao's votes were not high enough was that the opponent was not strong enough, so they didn't need to give their all.

"You don't have to worry about that," Zhou Yiyang laughed. "Look at the singers who advanced to the top five tonight. Aside from Yue Shao and Wen Yuan, the other three are all newcomers. Their popularity still has room to grow."

"Of course." Guan Fei also laughed: "At present, the strength of our Huaxia Division is still very strong. Then, Mr. Zhou, have you thought about our last few qualifying spots?"

Zhou Yiyang touched his chin and shook his head: "Not really. Let's think about it after the American game starts!"

…

At this time, several music critics represented by Helian Bei also began to express their opinions on Moonlight Girl's performance of the song just now.

Helian Bei gave Moonlight Girl a very high evaluation:

"I think their performance tonight was almost impeccable. It's the first time I've realized that singing also requires acting skills. I'm sorry I can't use my phone while sitting here, otherwise I would definitely vote for them."

Pang Li, the host, laughed and jokingly said, "Brother Bei, you should know that each of us can only cast one vote. So, do you think Moonlight Girl's performance just now was the best tonight?"

Faced with this question, Helian Bei gave his answer without much thought:

"Of course, I think their performance tonight is the best."

Other music critics gave Helian Bei a thumbs up in their hearts.

Since the big guys have taken the lead, if they follow the Moonlight Girl, no one should say that they are just following the trend.

Thinking of this, these music critics used almost all the words they learned in school to praise them:

"It was a dreamlike performance. I read a story while listening to the songs. Thank you."

"Before the singing and dancing stage became popular, Moonlight Girls emerged. And this time, I'm afraid you will lead a new stage style, the singing and acting stage!"

"The four of you belong on the stage! Even though many of you are seniors tonight, you have the best sense of the stage!"

While the music critics were generous with their praise, the 24 singers in the audience actually had the same opinion.

None of them felt like they were being dissed, because they all knew how much effort Moonlight Girl's performance just now required.

For them, it is not terrible to lag behind Moonlight Girl now, at least they still have room for improvement.

Treating Moonlight Girl as the big devil is almost the recent goal of this group of singers.

Wen Yuan was very pleased and also aroused his desire to fight.

She found that the performances of these four girls were becoming more mature, and as their senior and Wang Xingrui's idol, she could not stand still.

Although it is common for the new generation to replace the old generation, she cannot be killed like this.

Tang Yue said softly, "Look at their eyes. I always feel that they are full of murderous intent."

Lin Xuan'er rubbed her eyes helplessly and said softly, "I don't detect any murderous intent in him. At most, he just sees us as competitors."

The peers' appreciation for Moonlight Girl is a kind of healthy competition. Netizens will not think too much about it. For them, it is right to vent whatever they want to say.

Of course, there is no lack of dragging down others. Although Yue Shao also hates such behavior, they really can't control the netizens' mouths.

"Hahaha, this is what a superstar is! If you ask me, all the other singers on this show should ask Master Yue for advice!"

"I really don't know how some singers dare to look down on girl groups! They're not popular, their live performances aren't as good, and their only advantage is that they look older!"

"I declare that Moonlight Girl is the champion of the Chinese region. She truly deserves the title!"

"I feel like there aren't enough shots for Yue Shao. I really wish there were fewer shots for other people, since no one will see them anyway!"

At this time, the host invited other singers to the stage again and congratulated the top five singers for advancing to the top 13.

At the same time, the remaining 20 singers are about to start their new round of competition.

Since domestic netizens already knew the competition rules, everyone started to quietly give thumbs up to their favorite singers.

The fans of the singers who advanced to the next round are much more relaxed. They just need to enjoy the show with a normal mind and go to Weibo to urge the program team to release the audio as soon as possible.

At this time, Wang Xingrui glanced at Wen Yuan who was sitting next to her and said softly, "Sister, your song tonight was also very nice!"

"Me? I made a lot of mistakes at the beginning." Wen Yuan shook her head regretfully: "You guys performed better tonight."
