Chapter 351 Taking the Match Point

The entire continent is now paying attention to this event.

This is a popular mixed set!

Bai Wanqiu's appearance at the end was already worrying enough, but the opening was also dull and lackluster, leading almost half of the Shenzhou audience to mutter that the show was doomed.

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Wanqiu miraculously survived, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the judges intently watching Bai Wanqiu on stage.

At least, they didn't go all the way down the wrong path.

In contrast, the athletes from various countries competing on the same stage were no longer preoccupied with their own affairs, and all turned their attention to Bai Wanqiu in front of the camera.

"The cello section again..."

"Alright, that's enough."

Abel took a deep breath, his face looking quite grim.

Fourteen gold medals!

Life is fleeting!

In one day, this guy achieved an incredible feat of winning fourteen gold medals!

If Bai Wanqiu continues to dominate tonight, wouldn't it be fifteen yuan?!

No wonder the Shenzhou government broke its contract for him and unconditionally supported his bid for the Best Contribution Award. Would I have done the same?

The moment Abel had this thought, the answer was immediately in his mind.

meeting!

"Minister, do you think Bai Wanqiu has any hope of winning the gold medal?"

Bai Wanqiu's performance on stage is coming to an end. Granger has some ideas, but he is happy to keep them hidden from Abel.

"This game's rating won't be too high, but it won't be too low either. If nothing unexpected happens, the final rating will be around 8.9 or 9 points."

After a pause, Abel glanced thoughtfully at the previous competitors' scores: "Kevin is currently in first place with a score of 9.1. If he can maintain this, he will eventually win the gold medal, so Bai Wanqiu's chances of winning the gold medal are slim."

Abel was so confident because they had prepared three hit songs for their own countryman Kevin all at once!

Abel can accept consecutive losses in the popular men's and women's groups, but he absolutely cannot afford to lose in the mixed group!

If he loses this gold medal, he doesn't know how he will face the wrath of Congress!

It's important to know that in all previous World Arts Games, the most prestigious gold medals have always been in the popular mixed category, and the country has almost always monopolized them.

Just as Abel had predicted, Bai Wanqiu ultimately gave her a score of only 8.9.

This score has placed it in fourth place.

"This is troublesome; we're afraid we'll lose this gold medal."

"Actually, some of Sun Youlin's and Shen Yun's works should be given here."

"The competition in the mixed group is too fierce, but we should be content. Bai Wanqiu has already performed very well."

The live stream chat was filled with comments, clearly expressing concern about Bai Wanqiu's current ranking.

In contrast, those who were pessimistic have become unrestrained at this moment.

"See? As long as we put the Shenzhou contestant last, and as long as the 5D image doesn't affect the other contestants, the score will immediately change."

There were many similar sarcastic remarks, and some people wanted to refute them, but when they thought of Bai Wanqiu's poor score, they were all at a loss.

Could it be that Sun Youlin and Shen Yun won gold medals because they took advantage of other athletes?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and some people whose stance was already unstable began to switch sides.

human nature!

Seeing these pessimistic comments, Lu Ye cursed and swore. Uncle Qiao, who was next to him, was probably really drunk and was almost snoring on the table.

"If we can't turn the tide in the next match, the gold medal in the mixed group will be in real jeopardy."

Lu Ye looked worried.

"Don't worry, Xiao Rui probably has a backup plan."

Chen Tianye took a deep breath.

They said that, but they were actually just as uncertain. They only hoped that Sun Youlin's miraculous comeback would happen again.

After all, the second game is practically the match point!

Everyone knows that contestants will save their best performances for the third round, with the final pieces appearing one after another. Bai Wanqiu is the last to perform, and after listening to more than a dozen final pieces in one go, no matter how well Bai Wanqiu sings, the judges may give her a more objective score due to the homogeneity or aesthetic fatigue.

This objective score will push Bai Wanqiu directly into a desperate situation.

Therefore, if they cannot turn the tide in the second match, they can almost say goodbye to the gold medal.

Similar topics are being hotly debated across the internet.

There were those who expressed anticipation and encouragement, but also many who were pessimistic. Even musicians like Lu Ye and Chen Tianye were worried, let alone people outside the industry.

"This second round was absolutely brutal. Everyone was giving it their all, and they were all in incredibly good form. Don't expect them to make any mistakes; they were incredibly steady."

Xue Ying, Ke Changhuan, and others exchanged ideas.

"The contestants who made it to the mixed group finals are almost at the level of top-tier celebrities in terms of singing ability alone."

Pang Anyou pondered for a moment and said, "Especially Kevin from Luo Guo, whose singing skills are almost those of a top-tier celebrity."

"We should have let celebrities participate in the competition from the beginning," Tong Xue muttered.

"Let celebrities participate?"

Ke Changhuan said with a wry smile, "So, in the finals... no... I should say from the elimination rounds of the popular group onwards, we won't see any of our Shenzhou players."

"If it weren't for the official agreement with various countries that prohibits international artists above the fourth tier from participating in the competition, we would never have achieved such remarkable results at this World Arts Festival."

Xue Ying added a comment from the side.

"We also have many outstanding artists."

Tong Xue was somewhat displeased: "Putting aside the distant past, Fusheng's works today have already produced fourteen gold medal winners. If he were to perform, do you think he would be inferior to those overseas artists?"

"The same work can have different effects in the hands of different people."

Pang Anyou remarked, "Take these mixed-group songs for example. What would it be like if Andres, Mike, and Swift sang them?"

"Gods are fighting."

Xue Ying gave her evaluation directly, then looked at Tong Xue: "Besides, you know that's Fusheng. There's only one like him in our Shenzhou."

Tong Xue remained silent; it was clear she had something on her mind.

Ke Changhuan seemed to see what Tong Xue was thinking and comforted her, saying, "In the end, it's because we're useless. It's one thing that our talent and ability are not as good as Fusheng's, but we're also lazy and selfish. We have some hidden gems, but we're unwilling to show them off."

"I have always been averse to internal strife, but I never expected that when it really came down to it, I would still choose to keep things to myself."

Pang Anyou lowered his head, a hint of guilt flashing across his face.

Xue Ying gently patted Tong Xue's shoulder, her mood equally sour. Today, Fu Sheng's feat of sweeping the gold medal list had not only greatly shocked everyone but also given them complex thoughts.

right!

These top musicians in China are all feeling quite bitter right now.

They admit that they are not as talented as Lin Rui, nor do they have Lin Rui's ability to produce high-quality works, but that doesn't mean they don't have high-quality works!

They have it, but they chose not to put it out there; instead, they waited for a better price to sell it!

They wanted to make a name for themselves overseas with this treasured work; they were all waiting for the right opportunity!

They admitted that it was indeed driven by selfish motives, and in this respect, they were far inferior to Lin Rui.

At this moment, seeing the entire internet reporting on Lin Rui like crazy, it's rare that they don't feel the slightest bit of envy, jealousy, or hatred. Instead, they genuinely feel that Lin Rui deserves to win the Best Contribution Award at this World Arts Festival!

If this award is not rightfully yours, then that would be the biggest stain on this World Arts Festival!

"Bai Wanqiu has made her appearance."

Xue Ying broke the silence of the scene.

Everyone looked up and saw Bai Wanqiu, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, appear on the stage via a lift.

"Fuck! That body is amazing!"
