Chapter 168 The third ranking announcement ends

The 9th place was announced without any suspense. The seats in the contestant booth were cleared out in small scattered areas, which was extremely unfriendly to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The camera pans across the crowd, clearly and unambiguously revealing the hidden meaning: some stand still, others soar into the sky.

Lu Wei pursed his lips helplessly, looking at the picture on the big screen, and became more aware of the program crew's bad taste.

Even if she wanted to continue in this industry, she couldn't bring herself to participate in a second talent show. A conscious fall is more terrifying than an unconscious demise.

In the future, when she is a spectator, she will give preferential treatment to those who eat twice-cooked pork.

Watching the people around them leave one by one and head for a better future, everyone feels mixed emotions. Now they are still on the same level, but what about the future?

Random thoughts raced through the air, and the atmosphere grew heavy again. Lu Wei pinched her palms, using the pain to block out the negative emotions. The third ranking announcement was the most difficult and depressing qualifying tournament she had ever participated in.

The more connections the contestants have with the show, the more reluctant they are to leave.

Lee Jae-hyun sensed something, paused, and sighed silently. Seeing Zhao Minxi secure herself, he quickly gathered himself and continued announcing the rankings: "The eighth-place contestant left a deep impression on the star promoters during their first performance."

With Li Zaixian's interruption, everyone stopped feeling sad and depressed, and their brains started working consciously, trying to find the correct labels to match their situations.

Lu Wei had a good memory, and his personal rankings for the past hour instantly appeared before his eyes. It should be said that all the top 10 players were sitting in this venue, and no one had been eliminated.

Excluding herself, there are only four contestants who have not advanced yet. Kim Yoo-ri and Kang Ye-lin have no chance. From the face-to-face selection between Kong Yu-fei and Han Seo-ying, the latter is more likely to be the one.

It was okay, it wasn't hard to guess, it gave her rusty brain a little work.

What Lu Wei could think of, others also thought of.

Everyone's eyes began to look at Han Shuying intentionally or unintentionally.

Fall down and get up again.

The speed is amazing.

Is this the kind of tea that audiences nowadays love? Is it that drinking it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth, beautifies your complexion, and leads you to the pinnacle of life?

Lee Jae-hyun noticed the seemingly well-behaved but actually distracted looks from the contestants, and without much thought, he understood the reason. He then gave the answer without hesitation: "8th place - Han Seo-young, congratulations."

Another familiar teammate advanced. Lu Wei raised his wrist and clapped his hands, applauding Han Shuying in the distance.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Lu Wei went online and learned the origin of this nickname, and also knew that this person was a demon. In fact, just from the perspective of watching the show, it is quite interesting, especially when seeing some scenes that were not filmed in the main film, the tension is not something you can experience through the screen.

As long as Han Shuying is qualified as a teammate, Lu Wei will not bother with unnecessary matters. She is not that free.

The other contestants followed suit, clapping mechanically. I was increasingly puzzled by the audience's preferences. I hadn't expected someone like Han Shuying, who was known for her gossip, to have such a large following.

God is so blind.

When she heard her name being revealed, Han Shuying stood up from her chair, unable to hide the joy on her face. She looked around for a while and walked towards the teammate in the fourth public performance who was relatively closest to her and would not refuse her.

Lu Wei really loved to eat melons, and he didn't really care about being the melon. But watching Han Shuying approaching the front row with devilish steps, he was really afraid that he would burst out laughing.

Why does this person have a queen-like face but do silly and cute things? Everyone knows what she is thinking, and only a fool can't guess what she wants to do.

The corners of Song Yuji's mouth twitched slightly. It was true that she was a decent person, but others might not be.

**Xi**, you should have set up a arrogant setting from the beginning.

Jiang Yilin felt that her vision was getting darker and darker. She didn't want to have any relationship with this person other than a teammate.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Han Shuying hugged Jiang Yilin with a look on her face that looked like she was about to cry. She was not stupid and knew who to provoke and who not to provoke.

Jiang Yilin gritted her teeth and patted Han Shuying's shoulder, wanting to crush her. She was only the captain for a while, not forever. No one wanted to be tied to a contestant with a bad reputation, especially one like her who had risen to the top purely by relying on good reviews.

Seeing such a loving scene, Lu Wei did not suppress her smile. She raised the corners of her mouth and clapped her hands. From the outside, there was no sign that there was anything wrong with her.

Actually...

That depends on different people’s opinions.

Lu Weiyi clapped her hands while making eye contact with Han Shuying, who was hugging her with red eyes from two steps away. She said without hesitation, "Congratulations."

Not being treated as a tool did not make her feel relieved. Lu Wei was not afraid at all. If someone could scam her, she would lose.

Han Shuying's heart ached for two seconds, and she lowered her eyes first, avoiding his gaze. She didn't dare approach Lu Wei at all. He was a strange man, and who knew what earth-shattering words he could say in front of the camera.

She will be the one who suffers then, so why bother?

Jin Youli rolled her eyes in her heart. She thought she would have some fun, but she didn't expect him to be another coward.

It's really boring.

Everyone was filming relentlessly, watching the tearful performance and soothing their spirits. It wasn't until the judge changed the subject, marking the story as "To Be Continued."

Lee Jae-hyun: "7th place - Ko Moon-yeon, congratulations."

Boom!!!!!!!!!

A bolt from the blue hit everyone's head. They dropped from 3rd to 7th, and then continued to drop. How could this be possible?

Lu Wei clapped calmly; this person's demotion had been foreshadowed. With so many players on Team [love&love] all engaged in a crash landing on them, Gao Wenyan couldn't be left out.

That doesn't make sense either.

Winners are built on the foundation of losers, and right and wrong are also revealed in this way. If you really think about it, there is nothing wrong with the four masters.

It's just that a lot of things are magnified by the lens.

Gao Wenyan stood up with tears in her eyes, her body trembling slightly. She didn't dare to think about how the outside world would view her after this episode was broadcast.

What was she supposed to do? Was it wrong to focus on herself and avoid him? Why? Why was she being judged like this?

Lu Wei, who was less than half a meter away, easily noticed Gao Wenyan's strangeness. She could understand, but she couldn't empathize.

Oh...it's too difficult...

This program has greatly increased her threshold of empathy, so that she won't become an emotionless salted fish in the end.

Jin Youli wanted to roll her eyes, but she held it in. Just like that... just like that? Forget about the unlucky Li Enxing, let's just talk about Lu Wei. Wasn't his early days any worse than Gao Wenyan's?

I'm really speechless. We're both unknown celebrities, but this guy's psychological endurance is just too poor.

I don’t know if it was because they were deeply influenced by the program crew, but the contestants couldn’t feel any sympathy. Looking at Gao Wenyan’s tearful face, they felt numb.

Instead of pitying her, it is better to pity yourself who is about to be eliminated. At least this person still has a chance to make amends, while they have nothing.

Gao Wenyan picked up the microphone and tried to calm down, but tears kept falling. She choked up and gave a speech: "Thank you very much for your support... I'm sorry that I didn't show you a better version of myself in the fourth public performance and that I didn't lead the team to achieve good results. I'm really sorry..."

As soon as the words of apology were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene dropped a few degrees.

Lu Wei knew clearly that this was not meant for them, so she simply clapped her hands. If it were her, even if she knew she had done her best, she would still feel guilty for her friends who supported her.

Apologizing or something like that is not being humble.

But guilt.

However, sometimes it is okay to express true feelings, but today's audiences don't like things that are too tragic, especially the crazy Koreans in film and television dramas.

Qiu Haiyun and Shen Baola breathed a sigh of relief. They were already stupid enough, but they didn't expect that there would be more heavyweights in the team.

Even if my friend dies, I will die first. Someone will absorb the gunfire. They will bless her, Amen.

Li Jae-hyun shook his head slightly, creating suspense again: "The sixth-place contestant has entered the top nine for the first time."

Another no-brainer puzzle.

Everyone turned their attention to the parties involved. After hearing bad news for a long time, they finally received some relatively good news.

Lu Wei's eyes didn't drift, and he stood up straight, acting as a good background.

Lee Jae-hyun: "6th place - Choi Ji-ha, congratulations."

Cui Zhihe's heart lit up with fireworks. She had once again found the missing piece, and even God was on her side. Hopefully, this good luck would continue until the finals.

Although it was a bit unethical, she really wanted to thank the players of [love&love]. If it weren't for their mysterious operations, she wouldn't have met Kong Yufei. If it weren't for their demotion, she wouldn't have gotten such a high ranking.

Therefore, she thanked her teammates very much. Audience friends, please don’t think too much, she would never dare to make any innuendos.

Kong Yufei clapped her hands out of boredom. She didn't get first place in the performance, so she had no motivation at all.

The members of this team are pretty pleasing to the eye.

While Cui Zhihe was speaking, Lu Wei's eyes swept across the pyramid: great vocal, great dance, great rapper, all-round ACE, a permutation and combination game.

Quite interesting.

Lee Jae-hyun: "The fifth-place contestant has outstanding personal skills and has changed the star promoters' impression of her."

Outstanding???

Lu Wei sincerely felt that there was something wrong with the adjectives used by the program team. Either they were obvious at a glance, or they were vague.

Reverse the impression? How?

Is this a transformation from a fun-loving person to a serious person?

Hey...don't say that...really don't say that.

She was so into it.

The contestants in the back row began to scan the front row, their eyes briefly lingering on Lu Wei before quickly moving away. The production team probably wasn't that smart enough to smash the pan before finishing cooking.

If we turn it around, there is another one who is even more obvious.

Lee Jae-hyun: "5th place - Song Yu-hee, congratulations."

Not bad, not bad. Lu Wei clapped her hands vigorously. She was very happy to work with Song Yujie for the second time.

With her ranking rising to this point, she has a good chance of achieving a good result in the finals. If she has to have a rap leader, she hopes it will be Song Yuji.

Song Yuji stood up and nodded towards Lu Wei, then walked towards the podium with grace. She was ready to be bombarded.

Ups and downs are the most normal thing in talent shows.

"Thank you for the support of the star promoters. I will continue to work hard to create a better stage. Thank you to my teammates. I am very happy to work with you in this fourth public performance." Song Yuji spoke very briefly. She knew she would be scolded but she didn't speak at length. She was not stupid.

Don’t you understand that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make?

The contestants watched Song Yuji take her seat in the pyramid, and looked at the people in the front row who had not left yet, and suddenly realized something.

【night】All members advanced.

Thinking back carefully, every time the team that won first place in the performance successfully advanced in the subsequent ranking release. And Lu Wei was among them. Her luck was really too good.

Putting aside the strength, he is simply chosen by God.

I give up.

The contestants were filled with emotion as Lee Jae-hyun pushed through the final steps: "Next, let's announce the four alternates."

“Swish——”

The large screen in front split into four parts, and the camera was aimed at four people sitting upright. Kong Yufei, who had fallen out of the candidate queue, returned here again.

Lu Wei, Jiang Yilin, and Jin Youli remained as steady as a rock and remained motionless.

We're all tired of saying "envy." Those who lead always lead, and those who lag behind always lag.

Perhaps their ending was already written during the first performance.

If Lu Wei knew everyone was thinking this way, she'd probably deny it. She believed in fate, but she didn't resign herself to it. If she lost, she'd just try to catch up; it wasn't a big deal. Jin Youli would scoff. If someone entered the competition with that mindset, they'd better go home early to avoid ending up with nothing.

The four of them looked ahead with bright eyes, without a trace of fatigue on their faces.

Lee Jae-hyun finally sensed some positive sentiment from the contestant seats. Looking at her cue card, she asked, "How does contestant Kong Yu-bi feel about being on the reserve list again?"

"I'm very grateful. I want to do better and present a better stage to those who support me." Kong Yufei rarely spoke softly and did not give a harsh answer.

Every failure makes you wiser. San Gong’s mistakes will not happen again.

Wuhu......

After hearing this, Lu Wei's pupils narrowed for a moment, but she didn't let anyone notice her abnormality. Kong Yufei took a big step forward and grew a lot.

The arrogant sister who used to be so arrogant can now speak in a gentle voice.

Even "Where Are We Going, Dad?" is just like this. MNTB should really open a training camp so that friends who want to challenge themselves can come in and experience the life of the contestants.

Things were different now, and Li Enxing and Han Shuying tried their best to suppress the urge to curl their lips. Although they had passed the hurdle of the Three Dukes, the trauma they had suffered could not be erased.

Li Zaixian smiled and threw the question to the others: "We all know that contestant Jiang Yilin has won 4th place twice. Do you think she can do better this time?"

"For me, I'm already very grateful to be included in the candidate queue," Jiang Yilin replied modestly.

It's not illegal to tell lies, but considering her image, she certainly can't be too arrogant.

Li Zaixian nodded, looked at Lu Wei and asked, "Contestant Lu Wei, are you confident that you can maintain your first place?"

Receiving the familiar question, Lu Wei's temples throbbed with pain. She shook her head and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have much confidence. I appreciate everyone's love. I will continue to work hard."

It wasn't modesty, nor was it inferiority, nor was it arrogance. She didn't want to answer any questions about her ranking, nor did she want to speculate.

Everyone has given her enough, she can't say random things. If she hurts her friends who support her, that would be heartless.

Lee Jae-hyun looked at the last person and asked, "Does contestant Kim Yoo-ri think she can get first place?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure." Kim Yoo-ri also shook her head. There are some things that cannot come out of her mouth. She will fight for what she wants and will not put too much pressure on her fans.

The four candidates' flawless answers gave the production team a headache. They couldn't edit out any half-hearted answers, and had no other tricks except piecing them together.

Li Zaixian received the instruction and looked at the four people and announced directly: "4th place - Kong Yufei, congratulations."

Kong Yufei raised the corners of her mouth, a faint smile on her face. There was nothing to be disappointed about. Losing in the fourth round was a fact. First and third place were completely incomparable. They could just compare again next time.

When speaking, she sincerely thanked her fans and brought her teammates along a little.

Everyone was dumbfounded. This sister had completely changed. It would be very difficult to bring her down.

The fourth place was announced, and the third place was obvious. Even if Jiang Yilin had some unrealistic ideas, it would be of no use.

In everyone's eyes, she could not shake the ranking of the two people in front of her unless she led the team independently and got a good result of first place.

Lee Jae-hyun: "3rd place - Kang Ye-rim, congratulations."

OK...

Jiang Yilin raised a gentle smile on her face and nodded in the direction of Lu Wei and Jin Youli. She would not give anyone a chance to talk about her.

Of course it's a good thing to be able to move up one level.

Lu Wei and Jin Youli leaned forward slightly in response.

Both of them have been teammates with Jiang Yilin and know what his personality is like. There is no need to complain about him. If he can pretend to be true for his whole life, then it is real.

Jiang Yilin gave a comprehensive speech of thanks, not leaving out anyone from the program crew to his current teammates, and he is truly a master of balancing things.

On the basis of the three-paragraph structure, another paragraph was added.

Everyone just let it go in one ear and out the other and skipped it manually.

They might as well listen to Gao Wenyan's speech, at least they can make up something in their minds.

I’ve heard so many official statements that my ears are almost callused.

Lu Wei was calm and composed. The moment he finished speaking, he raised his hands and clapped them together. This was completely different. The opening ceremony was long.

She can't run away at all.

There are only two candidates left, and everyone's eyes are darting around, almost turning themselves into mosquito coils.

Lu Wei deserves this one, and it's no problem for Jin Youli to get it too. Both of them have the confidence to stand at the top of the tower.

Lee Jae-hyun paused for a moment, and when he saw the production crew had finished filming, he said firmly, "Congratulations to second place winner Kim Yoo-ri!"

"Congratulations to Lu Wei, the first place winner!!"

Congratulations rang out, and Lu Wei turned his head slightly to applaud himself and his opponent. Jin Youli pursed her lips slightly and nodded at Lu Wei.

The second run was staged again, with the two players' positions copied and pasted.

Kim Yoo-ri walked up to the podium and analyzed her mental journey of participating in the competition for the first time. She did not cry or express any subjective emotions, and she sincerely thanked the fans who accompanied her.

To achieve such a ranking, her fans must have put in as much effort as she did. Losing was her own fault, not due to external factors.

I hope this makes everyone feel better.

If she hadn't been there, Lu Wei would have been drawn to Jin Youli, who possessed a powerful charisma. Her private character was even more captivating than what she displayed on camera.

They have made countless efforts for their dreams and future, but they don't take their fans into account. Such players are worth it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wei clapped his hands vigorously and watched Jin Youli sitting at the top of the pyramid, then stood up and walked onto the podium.

Lu Wei calmly glanced at the dejected contestants, then raised the microphone, looked firmly at the camera equipment in front of him, and said, "I've watched many competitive programs and know exactly what it takes to be here. I understand what this long string of numbers represents and how much energy and time everyone has invested. I'm very grateful to you, and I'm also very sorry. If only I could change. I want to be your eternal supporter, offering you cheers, blessings, and encouragement. I hope that in the future, this wish can be realized. Thank you all for your kindness. I will move forward unwaveringly until we reach our destination."

After saying that, Lu Wei bowed deeply. You could say she was selfish, but that was fine. She didn't care. On this occasion, she just wanted to sincerely thank her friends who supported her and didn't want to bring any of the contestants along.

Everyone, accustomed to Lu Wei's style of speaking, clapped silently. Only fans know the feeling of being favored.

An Zhuxuan and the others sighed inwardly. Who wouldn't want to be thanked by this person? Reason and emotion were tug-of-war, and they felt somewhat lost.

After all, admiration for the strong is a common human problem.

Li Jae-hyun stood aside with a smile on her face. She really liked Lu Wei's speech. Official language was boring to listen to. It was this kind of focused speech that could stimulate everyone's emotions.

Seeing Lu Wei taking a seat at the top of the tower, she announced the final rankings: "20th place - Huang Shengyu, congratulations."

At this point, the third ranking release has officially ended.
