When the host, Liu Sisi, noticed that something was amiss between the two, she quickly stepped in to change the subject.
"Alright, alright, Xue Tong, how many points are you going to give Jade-Faced Fox?"
Liu Sisi's interruption stopped Wang Xuetong and Li Hong from continuing their conversation.
Wang Xuetong thought for a moment, "I'll give it nine points! Go Jade-Faced Fox!"
"Thank you! Thank you, judges."
Upon seeing Wang Xuetong, the Jade-Faced Fox was incredibly grateful and excited after giving her a score of nine.
After Wang Xuetong finished speaking, only Yan Ranran was left without any points to be awarded, so it was her turn very quickly.
"Ranran, what do you think of Jade-Faced Fox's song?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ranran replied directly, "My father, he is also someone who has loved me very much since I was a child."
"In my memory, my father never hit me because he really loved me."
"But I haven't let him down, have I? So I've always been my father's pride."
"So I can understand the Jade-Faced Fox's situation, I'd give it an eight out of ten."
"Thank you, thank you judges."
After Yan Ranran gave her score, the Jade-Faced Fox was once again filled with gratitude.
All four judges gave their scores, and it seems that Jade Fox's advancement is a foregone conclusion.
Because all four judges gave her a passing score, unlike the previous two judges, Black Pig and Duck Head.
However, besides the four judges, there's also the audience to consider.
The audience's scores haven't been given yet.
After all four judges gave their scores, the host, Liu Sisi, finally looked at the audience.
"Dear viewers, what do you think of Jade-Faced Fox's performance of this song? In your opinion, how would you rate her?"
Judging from previous events, it seems that host Liu Sisi's question was somewhat rhetorical.
Because the audience's attitude towards Jade-Faced Fox was extremely negative.
Almost everyone thought that the Jade-Faced Fox was just there to play the victim.
Under such circumstances, is it possible for the audience to give a good score?
Although all four judges supported Jade Fox and criticized the audience.
But would that really change the audience's opinion of the Jade-Faced Fox?
The answer is difficult because the audience also has their own understanding and opinions.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be changed by just anyone coming out and making a few criticisms.
Moreover, in the current situation, tens of thousands of viewers have opinions about the Jade-Faced Fox.
Perhaps the judges' words and their criticisms have indeed changed some people's views on the Jade-Faced Fox.
However, with so many people, it's impossible for all of them to be changed by the judges.
Because in the eyes of the audience, they were not wrong; the Jade-Faced Fox was just there to play the victim.
In fact, the audience's actions can be understood from the perspective of fairness.
They were simply trying to maintain the fairness of the competition.
The moment the Jade-Faced Fox appeared, she brought up her father, which they saw as an attempt to gain sympathy.
How can the audience accept someone who plays the victim? The stage needs talent, not opportunities gained by playing the victim.
And the audience, too, didn't realize that they were wrong.
So many people believe that Jade-Faced Fox sings "My Old Father" because she's trying to gain sympathy.
The truth is, the singing was so bad that the audience couldn't accept it, so they subconsciously assumed it was just a ploy to gain sympathy.
If the Jade-Faced Fox sings beautifully from the first note, making the audience feel comfortable listening to her.
Then perhaps the phrase "playing the victim" will appear much less often, or even not at all.
But now it's all too late, because the phrase "playing the victim" has become a foregone conclusion.
...
So when the host, Liu Sisi, asked the audience how they viewed the Jade-Faced Fox's performance...
The live stream chat was filled with another astonishing scene.
"Elimination, elimination!"
"We don't need people who play the victim; we need people with real ability."
"If elimination is allowed and someone can still advance, then what's the point of this show? Is it just for people to sympathize with?"
"If playing the victim can lead to victory, what about the other contestants who work hard?"
"They've worked so hard for so long, and yet they can't even compete with someone who plays the victim. That's more real."
"After this, who will still put in the effort? Just show your true strength and play the victim, since someone will sympathize with you anyway."
"Damn, now you can get people to defend you when you're playing the victim? Is there some kind of shady business going on?"
"Exactly, eliminate them."
"Reject insider information, eliminate those who play the victim."
Although the judges were keeping them in check, the audience members no longer dared to cause trouble.
But the tens of thousands of viewers watching the live stream don't have that kind of scruples; they say whatever comes to mind.
Because in their view, they were not wrong; the fault lay with the players and those who covered them up.
...
When Wang Qingge saw this scene again in the lounge, he became angry once more.
I originally thought that with four judges supporting Jade Fox, the audience would calm down a bit.
Unexpectedly, the judges' support and backing did not prompt the audience to reflect on their actions.
On the contrary, it further angered them, who suspected that there was some inside story or some unspeakable secret involved.
This was something that no one had expected.
On this side of the scene, after the host Liu Sisi asked how the audience viewed the Jade-Faced Fox, no one answered.
Having no other choice, Liu Sisi continued, "Dear viewers, please begin the voting now."
"Please support Jade-Faced Fox and cast your vote for her to advance."
"Ten-second countdown begins, ten, nine..."
"Voting begins."
At the host's command, tens of thousands of audience members picked up their voting devices and began casting their votes.
The others watched all of this with extreme tension.
Especially for Jade Fox herself, with so many people opposing her just now, she doesn't know if she can leave a good impression on the audience.
So now, she keeps praying silently in her heart, hoping that the audience can understand her and understand her intentions.
But this time, she's likely to be disappointed, because she's become the worst and most miserable performer since the show started.
Voting ended quickly, and everyone watched the big screen with anticipation, hoping to see a good result.
