Chapter 45 Sister, you are wrong about my husband.
After the family visit ended, Jiang Huai said goodbye to Chu Yuanqing and returned to the contestants' dormitory area.
Si Xi was the first one to be called out. It was probably his biological mother Si Qinghuai. He was a little worried and listened at the door of the other party's dormitory for half a minute.
There was no sobbing or throwing sounds inside, so the emotions should be relatively stable. Jiang Huai left with peace of mind.
The next day, Friday, the random dance practice went on as usual. During the intermission, a few people talked about what happened yesterday.
Sheng Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "My sister wears a pair of eight-centimeter high heels and is as tall as me when she stands up. I'm really worried that people will question my shortness after the show airs."
Jian Yuan looked at himself, then at Sheng Mingzhi, and said sadly, "Then your sister must be much taller than me."
Si Xi walked up to Sheng Mingzhi and compared their heights. The two were roughly the same height. Sheng Mingzhi lost by two centimeters because of his short haircut: "If you were short, you would be the only one in our practice room who is not short."
In the small corner, the big Dan Tonghe raised two fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.
"Oh, yes." Si Xi turned to Jiang Huai very naturally, without any disturbance in her tone, "I reconciled with my mother yesterday."
Jiang Huai didn't expect him to bring this up himself: "That's great, congratulations."
Sheng Mingzhi asked, "What are you two talking about? How can you understand what is going on without any context? Are you talking in an encrypted manner in front of us?"
"You're not invited." Yu Lan said suddenly, "None of us were invited."
"..." Sheng Mingzhi rolled his eyes, "Is this a waste of time?"
That afternoon, the eighth episode of "Produce Producer" was broadcast.
[It's almost over.] The system said, [After the third public performance this week, we will record the 32 to 20 selection next week, and then it will be the finals, right?]
Jiang Huai nodded: [Yes. When I signed the contract with the program team, it said that it would be ten to twelve episodes. I guess it will be the end of ten episodes.]
The system couldn't help but sigh: [Time flies by so fast. It was April when you were reborn, and almost half a year has passed.]
[Is it fast for you?] Jiang Huai was puzzled, [I thought that for digital life forms like you who are almost immortal, time should be so long that you can't see the end.]
[That's not wrong. But now you are my host. I watch you spinning around like a top every day, so of course I feel the same way as you do.]
The system said excitedly: [I estimate that your rating will be upgraded to B after the finals, which means we have won a certain stage! ]
Jianghuai was concerned about another question: [How many levels are there in this rating? After B is A, and above A, there must be S, SS, SSS, SSS+? ]
[I am a serious system, not one that never ends, okay? It ends when you reach A. ]
It added: [But it is very difficult to get promoted to A. Compared with it, all the previous ones are just small things. You have to wait until you are famous all over the country, to the point where almost any passerby has heard of your name, before you can get promoted to A. ]
Jiang Huai seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked: [When I reach level A, the counterattack mission will be considered a success? Will you disappear at that time? ]
[…You’ll know when that day comes. It’s still a long way to go.] The system stiffly changed the subject, [Watch the show first.]
This episode begins with an introduction to the mentor group’s mental journey in selecting candidates.
Xiao Wenping said frankly: "The song is very difficult, so we can only select a few students with the best vocals."
Her argument is fairly reasonable, but the arguments of the remaining four mentors were obviously made up on the spot.
Yue Han said that the decision was based on the rap performance on the previous stage; He Chen and Xiang Liang were vague, saying that they hoped to give all the students a home.
Shi Renran, who selects people based on their looks, certainly cannot explain it directly. He hesitated in explaining, sometimes emphasizing the expressiveness in front of the camera, sometimes emphasizing the overall comprehensive qualities of the trainees. His words are incoherent.
[In fact, everyone knows that it is chosen based on appearance. 】
[It would be great if the debut group could also follow the standards of my senior sister, at least it would be comfortable to watch. If there is an ugly person among the nine members of the group, I will definitely run away at the speed of light. ]
[Sister, you are wrong about my husband. He is really not ugly, he is just not a handsome guy in the traditional sense. He is very charming when he puts on makeup. Sister, sister, listen to me? ]
[To be honest, the ones ranked high are all very handsome, there are no ugly people. 】
[Indeed, and most people look better offline than with the skin-smoothing filter that makes their facial features disappear on the show.]
When it came to the trainee selection stage, Jiang Huai, who had always been a dancer, joined Xiao Wenping's vocal group, which surprised many people who had not watched the live broadcast. Then Lin Yuanbai, who was in the same group, said "I have always been curious about you", which caused chaos in the comments.
[Can I eat this? Can I eat it? ]
[The main singer and the main dancer are a perfect match, I approve. 】
[Yu Lan! Home is in danger, come back quickly! Someone here wants to steal your girl!!]
[Just to avoid awkward silence, Jiang Huai's "I admire your vocal ability" obviously didn't mean that.]
[He didn't mean that, but Concubine Lin looked like a green tea who looked dignified on the surface but was secretly working hard to get promoted.]
Jiang Huai: ...You guys are really overthinking it this time, it's just commercial flattery.
This episode doesn't have much special content, it's mainly about the practice room and stage for the third public performance. Because the number of trainees has decreased, the duration is much shorter than the previous episodes.
The only thing that surprised him was that the editing team seemed to have worked very hard overtime, and the preview of the next episode actually included the content of the family visit that had just been recorded yesterday.
Chu Yuanqing's figure flashed in the camera, then turned to the quarreling Sheng Mingzhi and his sister and brother of the same height, and finally stopped at Si Qinghuai's face after Si Xi pushed open the door of the room and heard the figure looking up.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Although the actress, who is about to reach the age of 50, has already developed faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes and forehead, her features still show the beauty she had thirty years ago.
Today's Si Qinghuai is no longer the young girl in cheongsam in the movie. The years have made her look gentle and profound.
The program crew also thoughtfully attached her personal profile and several old stills, and it was obvious that they were preparing to take this opportunity to openly stir up the issue without hiding anything.
As expected, when Jiang Huai opened Weibo, he saw that the program team had quickly arranged two luxurious Weibo hot search packages: #Produce Trainee Si Qinghuai# and #Si Xi Si Qinghuai#.
When I clicked on the first post, it turned out to be a Weibo post from Si Qinghuai himself, promoting voting for Si Xi, followed by a long list of reposts from a large number of artists.
It’s not in vain that he has been called the prince for so long. In the penultimate episode of the show, Si Xi finally took advantage of the popularity of his biological mother.
[It's a pity that you, the host, don't have the popularity to take advantage of it. 】
[It’s okay, I’m already royal enough.] Jiang Huai said with great self-awareness, [If this program had a ranking of royal families, I would at least be in the top two.]
[After all, you are the emperor.] The system chuckled twice, [I want to laugh every time I think of your nickname.]
Jiang Huai opened the forum that had been created by the trainees.
Last time he discovered that although this forum has few people, all kinds of information are updated very promptly.
Especially when it comes to various things in the fan circle, they are more sensitive than the "Produce Producer" group next door with tens of thousands of fans.
[Explosion: The real Crown Prince’s mother is exerting her strength! Can the Emperor still maintain the top spot this time? ]
【1L·Owner】
It is known that when the Mingpiaosuo was locked, the emperor had 910,000 yuan, the prince had 830,000 yuan, and the third place, the queen mother (who has passed away), was 300,000 yuan behind. Now that the real prince's mother has come out to promote it, is it possible for the prince to surpass her?
【2L】
The chances should be pretty high. The mother waited until the secret votes were drawn before posting the Weibo, so the timing was very tricky. In addition, the prince was the third in the last round and abused a lot of fans. The prince's mother has been like crazy recently, fighting a lot and spending a lot of money.
【3L】
To be honest, I don't understand why Taishang Royal Family wants to follow suit this round. If the mother of the crown prince is crazy, let them go crazy. Why not just let them go to the finals? Giving up 1 once is not a big deal. If they are so aggressive in this round, aren't they afraid that they will be stolen in the finals?
【4L】
When TOP cancer strikes, I want the emperor to watch it from beginning to end.
【5L】
If the finals fail, won't the fans be so angry that they run away? The data set of the emperor is so psychedelic, it can't be that the first love is really making the decision, right?
【6L】
Anyway, I would definitely scold my data team for making such a decision. Only 70% is counted and left for the finals, which is equivalent to a 30% discount on the average price of each vote. Wouldn't it be much more comfortable to keep this money for the gap?
【7L】
Maybe he is too confident that’s why he voted this way. The Prince’s Super Topic has been flooding the screen with vote-urging posts for so long but he still hasn’t caught up with the votes, and the Emperor’s Super Topic is still mostly normal recommendation posts. It seems that he wants to start from the beginning and end, but also wants to have a gap in the finals.
【8L】
So greedy? If you want everything, be careful that you may end up with nothing.
The system asked thoughtfully: [What do you think? ]
Jiang Huai withdrew from the post: [I don’t really care. Fan voting is the fans’ business, and it’s fine in the end anyway. ]
He said calmly: [Now there are really many people who like me, and that is enough. ]
At 24:00 on the evening of August 25, the penultimate round of voting for "Produce Producer" closed.
At 12 noon on August 26, the recording of the ranking announcement of 32 to 20 began in the studio.
9pick became 1pick, and the ranking of the contestants changed a lot. Zhou Chengwen dropped out of the debut group, Jian Yuan was stuck at 9th, Yu Lan dropped from 2nd in the last round to 6th, and Sheng Mingzhi surpassed with 690,000 votes and became the 3rd.
The scene when the ranking was initially announced was reproduced, with Jiang Huai and Si Xi standing on either side of PD He Chen.
Jingming Media and Huatian Entertainment are the official rivals that have been designated by fate.
He Chen said in a relaxed tone: "You two have opened up a terrifying gap with the previous contestants. In this round, the first-place contestant received 1,024,491 votes, and the second-place contestant received 989,762 votes."
"I remember when the first ranking was announced, you two were standing here. Now that more than a month has passed, the recording of the show is gradually coming to an end. I wonder if you feel any different now than you did then?"
