Chapter 127 The Third Performance 14.0

Xie Qingyu's gaze fell quietly on the flashing broadcast screen.

In fact, when he saw the number of votes for himself and his group in the small room, he had already expected that the difference in votes this time would not be as huge as in the second public performance.

The objective reason is that the decrease in the number of on-site audiences has led to a reduction in the total ticket pool, and the subjective reason is that each stage of the three public performances was performed quite well.

It is inevitable that the audience will make choices based on their own aesthetic preferences.

However, after the creative mentor Lu Chuan gave him his 300 votes, his total number of votes was still not low.

If converted based on the total base of 7,500 votes, this result is even higher than the proportion in the second public performance.

But he knew very well that this was not entirely his own achievement.

He did take some shortcuts on the second public stage, but the quality of the songs on the third public stage was much higher. With the same degree of completion, the overall level would be higher.

Judging from the number of fans at the scene, he also has the advantage, no matter how wonderful the previous performances were.

His many fans will definitely reserve their votes for him in advance.

But talent shows are the product of fan economy, and there is never absolute fairness.

Even at the beginning of the show, this unfairness already existed: contestants with their own fan base naturally had more opportunities than others.

So even though Xie Qingyu knew this situation now, he didn't feel uneasy about it.

His fans were also accumulated slowly through one performance after another and one stage after another.

No one can gain so much love out of thin air.

Since the fans have given us preference, we should accept it.

And the best reward he can give is to prove with his strength that this preference is worth it!

In the waiting room, the seven female supporting guests looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Except for Jiang Kecheng and Lan Xi who have experience in girl groups, several other guests who are actors or singers have been more or less influenced by the outside world's stereotypes about talent shows before coming to the show.

Rumors like "the fan circle is crazy", "internal intrigue", and "you can debut without working hard" are flying everywhere.

Therefore, when they first arrived, their attitude towards this group of players was to stay away from them as much as possible, for fear of getting into any trouble.

But after actually participating, I found that the rumors were really harmful. These athletes not only had to undergo excessive training every day, but also under conditions that made them exhausted.

They also have to stay in top condition at all times in front of the ubiquitous cameras so as to provide the program editing team with some materials beyond training.

When it comes to acting, at least there should be a distinction between inside and outside the camera, but this one doesn't make any distinction at all.

It is different from recording other types of variety shows. Everyone is trying their best to present the most perfect stage.

Although they are on this talent show, the contestants they see are the ones who remain after two rounds of elimination.

But a little bit of evidence shows that it is not as glamorous and easy as it seems on the surface.

And looking at those sweating profusely in the training room, how could they possibly slack off? How could they bear to ruin the stage that others valued so much?

Not to mention what happened with Qian Song today. He is truly a player with great perseverance. His spirit of giving everything for his dream makes people admire him sincerely.

Ji Shuran glanced at Xie Qingyu inconspicuously, then looked around. All the contestants stood up straight, staring at the screen intently.

Infected by this atmosphere, she unconsciously sat up straighter, and felt a little more nervous.

When his gaze returned to the screen, Ji Shuran pursed his lips slightly.

She and Xie Qingyu saw the number of votes for their group in the small room. It was quite high. The overall ranking should be pretty good, right?

Xie Qingyu could naturally feel the vague gaze, but the other party did not express it, and he did not want to take the initiative to communicate at this moment.

To be honest, he wasn't in a particularly good mood right now, and the emotions surging in his chest were like a tangled mess.

It was not just because the vote count was about to be announced and Qian Song was injured, but also because of other bits and pieces of things that were piling up in his mind, even including many fragments of past events.

He needed time to sort things out, even if it was just two minutes.

The only thing I can do now is to maintain my composure in front of the camera and not let any of the dark emotions leak out from my eyes.

The numbers on the big screen finally stopped ticking.

Unlike the long wait in previous years, the team with the last place in the total number of group votes was revealed instantly - "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Clear Skies", with 548 votes.

The number of votes each member received is shown at the end.

Although Wei Ran's performance was more impressive than before, it still pales in comparison to the extraordinary performances of other groups.

What's more, as the competition progresses, the proportion of fans in the live audience is getting higher and higher. Apart from their own idols, other contestants can be considered competitors.

It is almost impossible to win votes for yourself from other fans.

When the applause rang out in the waiting room, Weiran also clapped his hands gently, as a form of encouragement.

At the beginning of the performance, the shouting from the audience did affect him, but now that he has come this far, he has no way back.

Even he himself did not expect that his desperate performance would go better than expected. This ironic result made him smile bitterly.

Sometimes Wei Ran really hates her own personality. She knows the problem clearly and knows that this kind of personality is not pleasing, but she can't change it.

But when I think about it, if I even hate myself, how can I expect others to like me?

At least, he is changing little by little.

As long as he improves every time, he will eventually become a better person. He can do it!

Before the contestants could digest the previous result or make a symbolic reaction, the next ranking jumped out impatiently, as if they were in a hurry.

Many people were wondering, what's wrong with the teacher who adjusted the data today? Wasn't he always so slow in the past? Why was he in such a hurry to get off work today?

At this time, the result of the sixth place was revealed... It was the "Wild Knight" team where Qian Song was, with a total of 687 votes.

This number caused a subtle sigh in the waiting room.

To be honest, it was lower than they expected, but it made sense when they thought about it.

In addition to Qian Song’s fans who will give their full support with heartache, even if the performance is not perfect.

Fans of other groups can only offer a few words of comfort verbally, and at best they can get a few sympathy votes from passersby, but this group is ultimately only a minority.

Qian Song felt the stealthy gazes from those around him, as if they were worried that he couldn't bear it physically and mentally, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly.

What's the big deal? Victory and defeat are common in the military. As long as Samshun doesn't get eliminated and makes it to the finals, he will be a strong and healthy guy again on the night of the group formation!

The only people he felt bad for were his teammates, because they were the ones most directly affected by his mistakes. They had all been preparing for so long...

When Ding met Qian Song's guilty eyes for the third time, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

This guy is good in every way, except that he likes to take too much responsibility on himself.

Is it possible that if he didn't make mistakes, they would be able to get first place?

Some things are just like that if you think about it.

It is inevitable to feel disappointed, but compared to the ranking, the safety of teammates is obviously more important - the four of them are already thankful that Qian Songren is fine.

Ding made a face at Qian Song and mouthed "Don't be so pretentious". We are all rough people, so let's not get involved in this. It's so annoying!

Besides, it is difficult for Ding Da Nao to be kind to him, because he is not Leo puppy.

Not to mention Xie Qingyu, the "poison queen" in their dormitory. He is very resistant to other styles.

The exaggerated expression on his face made Qian Song turn his head away, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he obviously couldn't laugh anymore.

The next song to be announced was the fifth place winner - "Don't Call Me Good" by Sun Lele's group.

The gap in votes is still not that big. For this stage, the ranking in Xie Qingyu's heart should be even higher.

But it is the audience who makes the choice, and he himself is also a contestant. He cannot judge how other stages should or should not be performed with the eyes of a bystander. That would be too arrogant.

Ranked fourth in this round is Leo's "Sun Surfer Soda" team.

There are two popular contestants in the team, him and Wei Liangchen, so it is normal to get this score if their stage performance is perfect.

At this point, the number of votes finally broke through the 1,000 mark, creating a clear gap.

Four of the seven stages for this San Gong performance have been announced, and it goes without saying that the next step is the competition for the top three.

Regardless of whether it is Gu Yan’s heavenly vocal stage, Bai Lang’s difficult and explosive dance music, or Xie Qingyu’s god-level sensory immersive stage.

If the contestants were asked to choose, they would be at a loss as they are all excellent and it would be difficult to choose anyone. After all, everyone has their own preferences.

The most amazing thing is that all three of them received 300 votes from a mentor.

The final votes came out quickly, and the third place was Gu Qiong's "Aurora Kissed the Daylight Line", with a total of 1,397 votes.

The second place is Bai Lang's "THUNDER STRIKE", with a total of 1,401 votes.

This vote difference is even smaller than that of the team behind, with a difference of only 4 votes!!!

It's really... unbelievable~~~

It was such a coincidence that the contestants started to suspect that the production team was secretly tampering with the program.

If the program data team knew what they were thinking, they would definitely cry out for injustice. They were also very surprised when they saw the counted votes. I swear to God, there really weren’t any this time!

When the last person was announced, everyone stared at the screen, afraid of missing anything.

At this time, the teacher who was in charge of controlling the data in the background didn't know whether he was punished by his superior.

The result for the first place came out particularly slowly, so slowly that the string in everyone’s head was tightened and then released, but it still didn’t come out!

Just when I was about to calm down, the vote count popped up. Haha, this operation is unparalleled (⌒▽⌒)

When the big screen finally stopped at the number of votes for "Five Phases of Floating Life", the entire studio fell into a brief silence. Is this... is this still a human being?
