"Okay, all five groups of singers have finished their performances. Audiences in the audience and in front of the TV, the voting channel backstage will be closed in five minutes. Please pick up your phones and vote for your favorite singer. The votes received by the guest singers will all be added to the votes of the masked singer. The singer with the most votes will directly enter the final, and the remaining four singers will compete. The winner will advance to the final PK competition, and the loser and the guest singer will unveil their masks in public."
As soon as the male host finished speaking, the audience in the audience and in front of the TV immediately picked up their phones and prepared to vote for their favorite singers.
"Vote for the big devil, the big devil, I think he might really be the actor Ling."
"I think so too. The voice and body shape are too similar. I vote for the Big Devil, too."
"Vote for the Little Fox Fairy. I like the Little Fox Fairy very much."
"Little Fox Fairy sang really well. I really like her voice, so I decided to vote for her."
"I want to vote for Zhong Kaifeng. Although many people say that the second masked singer is Zhong Kaifeng, but hasn't he been unmasked yet? Since we are not completely sure, I'd better vote for the big devil. If it is really the actor Ling, then I will make a profit."
"Yes, we are not sure whether the second guest singer is Xu Yixuan. It's all hearsay. I'd better vote for Little Fox Fairy. Little Fox Fairy sings very well."
…
The five-minute countdown was really tense. The five groups of singers standing on the stage were not very calm at this moment, except Ling Yingyue. He was extremely calm from beginning to end, and when he vaguely heard many people in the audience say that they wanted to vote for him, the corners of his mouth visibly curled up slightly.
Ling Yinglu could hear it, and of course Zhong Kaifeng could hear it too. The handsome face under the mask began to distort a little. His hand slowly approached Xu Yixiuan beside him, and then pulled the hem of Xu Yixiuan's skirt from behind. Xu Yixiuan felt something and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. Finally, she seemed to compromise.
The stage fell into silence because of the final five-minute countdown. Suddenly, with a "bang", a red mask fell on the clean and tidy stage, revealing a familiar and beautiful face.
"Ah...Xu Yixuan, it's really Xu Yixuan..."
The fans in the audience were screaming wildly. Ouyang Qianran and others looked over and saw an embarrassed smile on Xu Yixuan's pretty face. She bent down and slowly picked up the mask on the ground. "Sorry." The gentle voice came out, attracting screams from fans again.
After Xu Yixuan put on the mask, the fans in the audience seemed to have decided that it didn't matter. They shouted Xu Yixuan's name in unison over and over again. The fans in front of the TV who were originally uncertain also started to get excited.
This is too much. This is what the remaining four groups of masked singers and guest singers were thinking. Ling Ying, who was standing next to Ouyang Qianran, was about to raise his arm, but was immediately held down by Ouyang Qianran.
Ouyang Qianran shook his head slightly at Emperor Ling, then gave Ling Yinglu a look that said "be patient". I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone so shameless. Originally, Ouyang Qianran thought that Zhong Kaifeng and his men were going to win by exposing their identities in advance, but he didn't expect that they had such a trick up their sleeve. They can do this, but Ouyang Qianran absolutely cannot let Ling Yingluo do this. It's okay to doubt, but once his identity is confirmed, he can win and take the championship. However, the element of winning will no longer be simple and will leave a lot of objections. What Ouyang Qianran wants is to win by his own strength.
The two hosts looked unhappy, but since it was being broadcast live, they couldn't say anything. The director who was watching backstage had an even darker face. He had already blacklisted Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan in his mind. From now on, he would never let them appear on "Masked Singer" or other variety shows he directed.
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Countdown, five seconds left.
"Okay, time is up, the voting channel backstage has been closed, and the most tense moment has arrived. Which singer will directly advance to the final PK competition? Let's take a look at the big screen."
Ten photos appeared on the big screen, and a number kept scrolling below the photos. Everyone held their breath and stared.
Who will it be? Who will be able to advance directly?
"Ding..." All the numbers stopped, and then a photo was enlarged, occupying the entire screen. All the audience below the stage were stunned, and the singers on the stage were also stunned.
A silver fox mask and a silver floor-length skirt, my God, isn’t that a little fox fairy?
"Congratulations to the Little Fox Fairy for getting the highest number of votes, 529,850 votes, taking the top spot. The second place is the Great Demon King, with 529,38 votes, taking the second place. The sum of the two votes makes him the top spot. Congratulations to the Little Fox Fairy for directly advancing to the PK competition."
The two hosts applauded Ouyang Qianran and Ling Yinglu with smiles on their faces. Not only were the others confused, but Ouyang Qianran himself was also a little confused. What's going on? He can understand that the big devil Ling Yinglu has so many votes, but how is it possible that he can get more votes than Ling Yinglu?
Ouyang Qianran and Ling Yinglu looked at each other. Ouyang Qianran saw a smile in Ling Yinglu's eyes and was stunned for a moment. Yes, the number of votes is not small. However, if Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan can play dirty tricks, then the program crew can also play dirty tricks backstage. Look at the number of votes of Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan, they are just slightly lower than him and Ling Yingyue.
Very good. Under normal circumstances, Ouyang Qianran would not approve of the trick of manipulating the votes backstage, but now, he thinks that the program team used this trick well, and gave others a taste of their own medicine. Look, although they were wearing masks, everyone could see that Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan's faces were almost turning vegetable color.
"The little fox fairy actually won? What on earth is going on? I just went to the toilet."
"I don't believe it. The production team cheated. How could the winner not be my Fengfeng? The production team must have cheated."
"Where is my goddess? Shouldn't she be my goddess? I voted for her with all three phones. How could she only get third place?"
"Despicable, so despicable, protest, protest against the cheating of The Masked Singer."
"That's right. We need to boycott. This is too much. How can they do this? Xuanxuan obviously won, but the production team dared to cheat in public."
"Protesting, cheating? By the way, those crazy fans upstairs, do you have any shame? Do you really think your two little kings and little queens are superstars? Ouch, in front of the whole country, the mask fell off 'accidentally'? An accident? Do you really think we are fools?"
"Exactly. If we're talking about cheating, those two shameless idols of yours are the culprits, right? Do you really think you'll win after revealing your identities? There are a lot of people who don't know them, and they really think they're the best actor. Let me tell you, I voted for the little fox fairy and the big devil, and my parents voted for them too. So, if you don't admit defeat, come and fight me if you have the guts."
"Usually, if you want to know an idol, you just need to look at his fans. Look, there are disgusting fans for every disgusting idol. They are all stupid. The little kings and queens are just the middle-level celebrities who have just been promoted to the first-tier artists. They don't even have half the fans of our princess. Why are they so arrogant?"
"That's right. Although I'm also a fan of the princess, I just can't stand those stupid Feng and stupid Xuan. I'm going to vote for the little fox fairy and make them die of anger."
…
The internet was in an uproar over this vote, and fans of Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan at the scene immediately stood up and protested.
"Protest, how could the winner not be our Fengfeng?"
"That's right, the production team is bullying me. They demanded a new vote. My goddess is the best."
“Protest…protest…”
Fans of both of them shouted in unison, as if they wanted to force the program team to vote again, but would the program team pay attention to them? Of course not. The director didn’t even give them a shot and directly asked the host to start the second round of the competition. The audience in the audience, who already disliked the fans of Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan, were even more disgusted when they saw them causing trouble at the scene, and they talked loudly with the people around them. There were more than 30,000 people at the scene, but only a few hundred were fans of Zhong Kaifeng and Xu Yixuan, and they were sitting in the middle. Everyone was talking loudly, and the shouts of those fans were completely drowned out.
In the second round, Green Bean Sprout faced off against Blacksmith General and lost, while Zhong Kaifeng faced off against another male singer who was equally strong. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the male singer sang better than Zhong Kaifeng, but during the voting process, the male singer lost by a margin of more than 100,000 votes. It makes people feel very sorry.
When the losing Mung Bean Sprout unveiled his mask, the audience burst into screams. It was too surprising that Mung Bean Sprout turned out to be the 40-year-old first-line actor, Hu Bing. The identity of the male singer is also not simple. He is also a senior first-line artist. The status of both of them is much higher than that of Zhong Kaifeng. After seeing the two men take off their masks, Zhong Kaifeng's face immediately darkened. He knew that he had offended those two people this time.
Finally it came to the last round. Zhong Kaifeng no longer had his previous pride. Yes, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that his chances of winning on his own did not seem as great as before. He was not strong enough to face General Blacksmith, and General Blacksmith had a lot of fans. When voting, the number of votes was only a few dozen behind him. The little fox fairy had even less confidence. In the first round, she had more than 100,000 more votes than him. It was still unknown who would win in the end.
Zhong Kaifeng became a little anxious. He looked at a man in black who was standing closest to the stage, and raised his hand to touch the man's nose. After seeing his action, the man in black immediately turned and left. Zhong Kaifeng heaved a sigh of relief. So what if he had great singing skills? So what if he got tens of thousands more votes than him? He would still be the winner.
Backstage, a tall man dressed in ordinary clothes, who looked like a staff member of the program, suddenly came to the side of the big devil, Ling Yingyue, and whispered something to Ling Yingyue. After a moment of silence, Ling Yingyue said coldly: "It should be the way it is."
The man lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away." After that, he turned and left.
At this time, Xiao Guo rushed over and said to Emperor Ling breathlessly: "Big Devil, I finally found you. The final PK match is about to begin. Hurry to the aisle of the stage. If the little fox fairy loses, you will have to go on stage and take off your mask."
Ling Yingluo turned around, and his black robe drew a graceful arc in the air, "He won't lose..."
"Ah?" Xiao Guo touched the back of his head. Is this big devil so confident in the little fox fairy? By the way, I didn’t think so before, but now after listening to this big devil’s voice, it’s really similar to that of Actor Ling!
The author has something to say: Here comes the third update with great effort! Thanks to those little angels who cast thunder! mwah!
