Chapter 62
This time the elimination is from 50 to 25. This means that half of the people are leaving the show again.
Compared to last time, most of the contestants eliminated this time are actually people that the audience is very familiar with.
The carnival brought by "The Infinite Ocean" was so intense that it wasn't until the day before the elimination recording that many viewers who were not so deep into the fan circle realized that they had to experience another farewell.
At this time, the positioning circle has already experienced a life-and-death vote.
Try your best and leave no regrets.
This is the common idea of all fans of the card circle. Unfortunately, only eight out of ten things in this world are regrettable.
When the voting closed, many people had an idea in their minds. When Jie Xichao woke up this morning, the corridor was much quieter than usual. There was a big box on the stool of the water dispenser at the door. He opened it and found some chocolate and vitamin water inside.
Fu Wen Ze had just finished washing up and saw it. He said, "It was just placed here by the neighbor opposite. I came back later to bring it in and divide it up. I specifically left the chocolate for you so that you can remember to eat well in the future."
Jie Xichao was stunned.
Although they live next door to each other, he has only met the trainee there very few times because of their different schedules.
My impression is that they were two trainees who came from the same company. Their only obvious interaction was probably the first stage, when Jie Xichao led them for three days.
Jie Xichao took the box in.
The passage of time, which had been somewhat chaotic due to day-to-day practice, suddenly became clear at this moment.
He stood up: "Dressing room?"
"Let's go." Fu Wen Ze said concisely.
They locked the dormitory door and walked out together.
The weather is very good today. The rainy days have finally ended and the sun is out for a rare time. The warm sunlight fell on the asphalt road, almost burning it out. The two passed the iron gate and saw the fans and fans holding umbrellas.
Maybe it's because the elimination is today, so there are so many people coming.
The two of them still greeted each other as usual. Xie Xichao saw Ai Qingyuan's banner in the crowd and said casually:
"Where's Ai Qingyuan?"
"I don't know." Fu Wen Ze said.
Jie Xichao was stunned.
He has been hanging out with Fu Wenzhe more often this week. The main reason is to learn each other's fitness skills for free, so much so that fans saw them walking together on their way to and from work too often, and they started to shout at him, "Stop lifting weights," out of anxiety.
Of course, they are only a minority. Most people know his physical condition and have no demands on him.
But he himself knew what was going on.
Not to mention the question of whether or not you have muscles, exercise itself also needs to be moderate.
That's why, thinking back now, he realized that he hardly saw his two roommates in the past week.
He felt a little strange, but when he arrived at the dressing room, he saw Ai Qingyuan already sitting inside, playing with his phone with an impatient look on his face. He felt relieved when he saw him and Fu Wenzhe coming.
He said lazily, "Morning."
"It's half past nine." The makeup artist said leisurely.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
"Sister, do you have a crush on me?" He finally couldn't help it, "You've been annoying me too often."
"It's just fun to tease you." said the makeup artist.
She shrugged. "I don't like anyone smaller than me."
Ai Qingyuan's mouth twitched.
He was really impressed.
"Please keep your phone away." The makeup artist called Jie Xichao over and glanced at Ai Qingyuan, who looked a little embarrassed. "If someone takes a picture of you, you'll be on the hot search again."
"That man is sick!" Ai Qingyuan shouted.
Receiving Jie Xichao's questioning look, he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
-
Xie Xichao really didn’t know that Ai Qingyuan had become a hot topic.
He meant it in a negative way.
But Ai Qingyuan obviously had no intention of sharing it with him.
This guy's old problem has come back again. Although he didn't say it, Jie Xichao could see it.
He was depressed for a while after the second public performance, probably because the number of votes they won was getting bigger and bigger. Although he didn't say it, Xie Xichao knew that Ai Qingyuan had never given up the idea of competing with him.
And Ai Qingyuan is not the kind of person who would indulge in false praise and data from fans.
The reason for this frustration is probably due to the quality of the stage.
He had never realized so clearly that the gap between him and Jie Xichao was not just a little bit, but perhaps a chasm.
Jie Xichao can help with other things. For example, he can help his teammates improve their abilities and resolve their emotional problems. For example, Yun Pan, he can help collect evidence and get rid of the bad guys.
But this was the only thing Xie Xichao couldn't do.
Sometimes, it is not that he is cruel, but the objective facts themselves are cruel.
Fu Wenze said it for him: "People must learn to face cruelty."
Ai Qingyuan: “Get out!”
Then he shut himself in.
Of course, no matter how autistic he is, he is only concerned about the competition in ability. In daily life, he and Jie Xichao are still friends. Xie Xichao didn't want him to be autistic again, since there would always be someone to tell him anyway.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the activity room, Ji Yan shared the latest gossip with him.
"There was a whistleblower account that exposed a group of trainees before," he said, "There are a lot of people among them."
He thought for a moment and said, "Let me think... The general idea is that in addition to Xia Ruiyan, there are many other weirdos in this crappy show. Some are dating, some are hooking up, and there is also a mention of bullying."
"Is Ai Qingyuan in a bad mood recently?" He gloated. "Do you know why? Because there is a line that says 'some high-ranking trainees in the show not only have bad tempers but also bad personalities'. In fact, it seems to be talking about Xia Ruiyan. Then Ai Qingyuan's fans may feel guilty? After all, he is such a jerk all day long. They took it personally and vented their anger at the melon owner. Now they are all depressed."
"Then after Xia Ruiyan's incident," Ji Yan said, "someone dug up his grave. The melon owner came out and mocked Xiao Ai's fans, saying that he had a bad temper. Do I need to expose this? Then it became a hot topic."
Xie Xichao was choked by the water.
He finally understood why Ai Qingyuan was so resentful.
It sounds like an unprovoked disaster.
"However." Ji Yan paused, "He has indeed been in a bad state recently. Xia Ruiyan's incident still has an impact on him. His opponents should take advantage of the opportunity to take action."
Jie Xichao was silent.

This is the reserved program in the later stages of the draft.
After all, who can debut on a show depends on fan votes.
Why do fans vote?
The stage, the character, and the audience appeal are all factors.
Around this core, each company has two core ideas: one is to let their own fans vote more, and the other is to let other companies' fans vote less.
The former is relatively difficult.
After all, there is often only a fine line between fan abuse and enthusiasm, and in fact, whether the trainee himself has astrological signs is the most critical factor.
But the latter is much easier to operate.
Xie Xichao has experienced the late stages of countless auditions.
His evaluation of this matter is just four words:
It's insulting.
It's like bargaining in the vegetable market, starting with a war of words and then pushing and shoving each other, and finally dropping everything and fighting in the middle of the market.
The same is true for the game among companies.
From using the internet as a platform to lead the rhythm, to releasing negative news releases, to finally getting involved in a fight to the death and exposing each other's negative material.
Jie Xichao even experienced a world where a popular CP pretended to be together, but broke up because of the ranking on the eve of the competition. The real couple disappeared, and the two companies followed suit and sent press releases to each other, vying to attract CP fans.
The draft looks good.
Youth, passion and dreams, but this world is not a real fairy tale after all.
In comparison, taking advantage of Ai Qingyuan's bad temper to change the pace was already a minor matter.
only……
"What about other revelations?" Xie Xichao asked.
He was quite curious.
Everyone comes to the talent show, but why does it feel like other people’s lives are much richer than his?
Ji Yan said meaningfully: "Who knows? Anyway, for fans, if there is no solid evidence, then this matter is equivalent to non-existence."
Having said that, I have already mentioned enough.
Xie Xichao paused.
The next moment, there was a hand on my shoulder. Zou Yi put his arm around his shoulders and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
Of course, we can’t talk about it.
Ji Yan wisely changed the subject: "We were talking about rankings."
He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zou. Your ranking should move up a lot this time."
Zou Yi just smiled, but his ears were a little red.
After the huge success of "The Infinite Ocean", it brought more than just 200,000 additional ticket sales. The entire group soared on the spot. Among them, the one with the highest popularity is naturally Jie Xichao, but the others have also received different degrees of bonuses.
Among them, the ones who get the biggest bonus are of course the ones with strong abilities.
Besides Yun Pan, there is Zou Yi.
Yun Pan was chosen because of the contrast between her stage presence and face, while Zou Yi was chosen because of his solid singing skills.
With the right part, the audience finally discovered that there was such a talented lead singer in the show. And my ranking was almost on the verge of elimination, so I quickly tried to pull it back up.
With the extra votes, it is certain that the ranking will rise significantly this time.
Zou Yi was obviously happy.
At least Jie Xichao didn't see such obvious embarrassment on his face, but while he was happy, he looked at Ji Yan with a hesitant look. Ji Yan seemed unaware and sat down with Jie Xichao in a casual manner.
Several instructors have come in and the staff have begun to adjust the camera positions.
When everything was set up, Dou Yu also stood on the stage.
In his hand is this ranking card. The ranking will start from 24th place and go forward in order, with 25th place being the finale.
Jie Xichao lowered his eyes, thinking about something.
Then, he suddenly heard Ji Yan say, "Hey Xi Chao."
"Um?"
"Actually, when I first met you," Ji Yan said, "I knew you would become very famous in the future. Now that I think about it, my judgment was correct. It's just a pity..."
He didn't say anything else.
After a moment he smiled: "Nothing."
Jie Xichao paused slightly.
Ji Yan didn't say anything else, and Jie Xichao didn't respond to this sentence either.
He just suddenly thought of the box placed at the door of the dormitory in the morning.
Some partings come unexpectedly.
Some farewells remain silent, but in fact, they are just the last tacit understanding that is deliberately reserved for each other.
