Chapter 068 The Second Performance Ends

Everyone returned to the waiting room and, as instructed by the staff, filled the obvious empty seats in the room in front of the stage where the live performance had not yet been broadcast on the screen.

After all, when the camera scans and needs to capture the contestants' reactions, the picture cannot be scattered and messy.

Lu Wei had no objection. This was a reasonable request. She looked around twice and found the nearest corner.

Seeing that the rest of his teammates didn't say anything, he said hello: "I'll go over first."

Han Xuanzhen's eyes widened in surprise. She thought that Lu Wei had so many supporters that he would ignore them. Unexpectedly, Lu Wei remained the same and his attitude towards them did not change at all. He was still so polite.

Damn, she kind of likes it...

Ah no no no, I don’t like it, I don’t like it. Han Xuan really shuddered and quickly deleted the dirty things that flashed through his mind.

Kim Nayeon looked at Han Hyunjin strangely. What was wrong with this guy? He disturbed her thoughts on replying.

Lu Wei turned his eyes away and didn't notice Han Xuanzhen behind him. Seeing that his teammates remained silent, he didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he pursed his lips and prepared to leave.

"Okay, Xiaowei, we're going to find a place to sit down. See you later." Jin Nayan reacted quickly. She didn't have any major conflicts with Lu Wei, so there was no need to show her bad face to him.

Park Yun-ji smacked his lips. This is what a captain who is wavering between two sides is like. He does nothing and doesn't care about anything. His main function is to accompany others.

But this has nothing to do with her. She is just a neutral bystander who watches the show.

Lu Wei nodded slightly to indicate that she had heard, then turned and walked towards the selected seat. After approaching, she politely asked the unfamiliar contestants on both sides: "Hello, is this seat taken?"

"No, no." Xu Shiling waved her hand to create an afterimage. Please, she is Lu Weiye. Just sitting here can bring cameras to a player at the end of the field like her.

"Don't worry, there is absolutely no such person." Sun Mingming said seriously. Even if there was such a person, she would kick him out without mercy. Maintaining the friendship with plastic teammates is not as important as having a good relationship with the dark horse.

"Okay, thank you, sorry to bother you." Lu Wei leaned forward slightly to express his gratitude, then leaned back quietly in his chair and watched the broadcast screen.

Seeing this, Sun Mingming and Xu Shiling made the same action without looking away. They also knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so it is enough to just make the first impression.

Time ticked by, and I watched performances one after another. Including the short intermission and lunch time, 8 hours had passed.

Many people were yawning in the audience, and the unique smell of Fengyoujing began to spread in the venue.

"Vicious MNTB!"

"It made me cry."

"Friend, are you sure you're not crying because you're sleepy?"

"Don't mess with us. Be smart. Even if we, as high-quality people, want to criticize MNTB, we have to find some excuses, okay?"

"I've wasted my time."

At least the audience had a bottle of wind oil to refresh themselves, while the contestants in the waiting room were just relying on their eagle spirit to hold on.

Lu Wei finally lived the life that the beauty imagined. She said goodbye to sleep, goodbye to pillows, goodbye to beds. She was going to sail away on this beautiful night and spend it in the studio.

Fortunately, there was only one performance left, otherwise Lu Wei would have transformed into a rabbit before becoming an eagle. He didn't eat carrots, but he got a pair of red eyes.

The music started and the oxygen in the waiting room went up like crazy -1...-1...-1... The contestants took deep breaths of air to cheer up their tired souls.

It was not until Lee Jae-hyun finished his final remarks, the broadcast screen went out, the audience dispersed, and the staff called for the transition that the expressions on everyone's faces began to collapse, and there was a hint of confusion in their eyes.

The contestants followed the staff to the stage in a large crowd. Seeing that the venue had not been cleaned up yet, they stood aside to adjust their state.

The director in charge of filming the second public rankings pointed to the iced American coffees that had just been brought in, and signaled the contestants to refresh themselves: "Help yourself with coffee. Rest for ten minutes. We'll start recording soon."

Hearing this, Lu Wei closed his eyes peacefully. He committed many evil deeds in his past life, and now he's constantly working overtime. Damn MNTB!!! Damn the production team!!!

Very good, today is another day of crazy merit -1...-1...

Thinking that there might be more to come later, Lu Wei picked up the sinful bitter juice and took a sip with a cold face.

So, why don’t Koreans like raw coconut latte? Is it because Xiao Ruirui doesn’t deserve it?

Lu Wei's expression of despair almost made An Zhuxuan, who was standing next to him, laugh out loud.

Seeing her like this, An Zhuxuan lowered his head and savored it carefully, and felt that he could taste medicine in his iced American coffee.

Not long after, all the chairs in the auditorium were removed and the venue was cleaned.

The contestants were divided into groups based on their performance costumes. Those wearing Group A's costumes went to Group A, and those wearing Group B's costumes went to Group B. They lined up in scattered teams under the stage.

Lee Jae-hyun took the stage to complete the final process. The three-tiered pyramid, symbolizing the rankings, reappeared on the big screen.

Starting from the first group [cat] AB to perform, all members of the winning team will receive a bonus of 20,000 votes and will be ranked second. All members of the losing team will receive a bonus of 0 votes and will enter the bottom level of the pyramid.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the coffee or the desire to eat some melon, but Lu Wei was no longer sleepy and stared at the big screen on the stage with bright eyes.

Both teams held their expressions in a tense state, keeping the suspense alive until the very last second. Only when Han Shuying's name reached the last level and Jiang Yilin's name reached the second level did their expressions change.

This result is both surprising and not surprising.

The surprise is that Han Shuying and others are senior members of the fourth-generation group who have their own popularity. Unless the performance is not ideal, they will not lose to a team that is put together in a mess.

What is not surprising is that Lu Wei thinks that both groups performed well and it is normal for anyone to win or lose.

Perhaps the screen in the waiting room is somewhat different from the live stage performance, and the audience's intuitive feeling is deeper; perhaps the audience has higher expectations for the fourth-generation group and hopes to see better performances.

In short, there are many factors that can be analyzed, and Lu Wei, as a bystander, just needs to look at it rationally.

However, after the results were announced, the contestants' micro-expressions were quite interesting.

Han Shuying seemed to want to retract the foreshadowing she had laid when choosing the song. Facing the camera's attack on her face, the apology in her eyes was so much that it was about to overflow.

It's fine if they win, but he still does this after losing. His teammates don't want to tolerate it anymore and start performing tea art in front of the camera.

The onlookers all laughed, and I can only say that this is very difficult to hold back. We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are we playing Liao Zhai here?

Lu Wei shook his head in his heart. The friendship between these teammates was thinner than paper. The evaluation of plastic was considered a compliment. After all, the natural degradation time of plastic was as long as a hundred years.

How did the fourth generation group work together to overcome all the hardships and get to where they are today? Is there anyone who can satisfy her curiosity?

Lee Jae-hyun ignored the contestants' arguments and announced the winning and losing results of the next competing team step by step. She wanted to finish the process early so that she could leave work early.

【lovely可爱】The winning team is Group B.

【Queen's Crown】The winning team is Group A.

【adolescence adolescence】The winning team is Group B.

【World】The winning team is Group A.

【your you】The winning team is Group B.

【MIDI】The winning team is Group A.

【Dream】The winning team is Group B.

[Crazy] wins Team B, and [Synthesis] wins Team A. The probability of A4:B6, while not shockingly low, is pretty close.

The more this happened, the more the contestants dared not breathe, thinking that all their years of work had been for nothing. Their shortest debut was a year, yet the regulars and the miscellaneous groups were evenly matched.

After the second public performance is broadcast, I am afraid that he will become a benchmark figure who will hit the company hard and set a precedent for self-expulsion from the team.

Lu Wei carefully analyzed the reasons why the four Group A teams, including his own, won.

SPDE, which chose "Queen's Crown" as its competition song, was the second-best team in the first public performance. Needless to say, there is a strong cohesion among the members.

Secondly, [World] is a classic song by a senior artist. No one dares to choose it, and no one dares to give up, but there is still an obvious preference.

As for the [MIDI] group I'm in, to be honest, the difference in votes from the opponent's group is not that big, so it was a narrow victory.

Once again, Jin Youli can sum up everything in this team. After being her teammate for such a long time, Lu Wei still admires her ability to control the game and lead the team.

After this analysis, it seems that Liyu is finished.

The culprit behind the group's failure has been found.

Another pot was added to the plaque of the cured chicken company.

Lu Wei thought that this result was dramatic enough, but he never expected that something even more dramatic was yet to come.

MNTB is indeed a ranking-obsessed person. He will continue to stir up trouble as long as he lives.

He actually rearranged the pyramid and distributed the total number of votes from the audience for each performance equally to each member of the team.

Kim Yoo-ri still took first place in the second public performance, while Han Seo-young, Kong Yu-bi, and Lee Eun-byul fell to the middle. Meanwhile, contestants who also won two games occupied the top spots.

Lu Wei moved up a few places and ranked third.

The contestant in front happened to be her teammate in Group B.

The program team is good at making things happen. It is not enough to divide the pyramid into the standard upper and lower layers. The ranking must be accurate to the last digit.

While those whose rankings remained largely unchanged, like Kim Yoo-ri and Kang Ye-rim, were relieved, Han Seo-young and Kong Yu-bi were furious. Being in the same middle tier, having no specific ranking and having a specific ranking are two completely different things.

Damn the production team, they are such a mess, they don’t let the audience vote according to the contestants, and they even make people feel disgusted when they lose.

The contestants were filled with resentment, and it took a long time before the words of dismissal were heard.

Led by the staff, Lu Wei walked into the preparation room and continued to compete with the director team.

By the time we were done, it was nearly 3 a.m. In two hours, it would be daybreak.
