Day 126
The light streamed down like the Milky Way, and the suspended transparent screen created ripples in the air.
Shen Ziqing has already understood that although there have been some minor setbacks along the way, this show will definitely become her masterpiece in the variety show industry.
She even wanted to achieve "great achievements" that almost no other director of similar programs could surpass, so she had to do it well.
In stark contrast to the increasingly sloppy days at the end of his previous life, Shen Ziqing not only increased external publicity efforts at this point, but also made the internal facilities as good as possible.
Even such expensive and impractical transparent screens have been brought out.
The boys had never seen this in real life, and they were so curious that they wanted to glue their eyes on it. Unfortunately, Jiang Sulin was the only one who had the authority to do it.
Jiang Sulin walked onto the stage, and every sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground was like a countdown to his heartbeat.
He placed his fingertips on the screen, and instantly a gilded envelope appeared on both sides.
"Welcome all trainees, online viewers, and vote monitors."
"I'm standing here at this moment to announce the rankings for the third round of performances on the large-scale variety show 'New Century Idol'."
"The last time I appeared in front of everyone like this was in early May, and it was packed."
He glanced at the audience, his eyes filled with reminiscence and nostalgia.
The camera moved over at the right time, and the place that should have been crowded with a group of young teenagers now seemed a little empty.
"Today is not the end. This is the cruelty of the game. We have to accept it and continue on our way."
"We'll be eliminating one-third of the trainees tonight. I know everyone is nervous, but I want to say, don't be afraid. There's more than one path, and the road is always there."
No one looked happy or relieved by his comfort. Things had come to this point, and nothing others said would be of any use.
The trainees at the end had a despairing premonition that their fate was drawing near, but at the same time, their hearts were pounding like drums, as if they still had some expectations.
Liu Yongshan was quite sad.
"Brothers, remember to come and play with me when you go out. I will always be waiting for you in the capital."
His ranking in the second public performance was not very high, and there were no highlights in the third public performance and the collaboration stage, so it seemed inevitable that he would be eliminated.
But he didn't feel too disappointed because he was a very positive person.
Wu Ruike was also silent beside him. Zhou Qi put his arms around both of their shoulders, but his hands were so cold that you could feel the chill even through their shirts.
"Now..." Jiang Sulin dragged out the last syllable. The room was so quiet that even breathing could be faintly heard, and his voice was made to sound even longer and louder.
"Let's reveal the final rankings for the third performance."
At the same time, the barrage exploded.
[Ahhh, baby, why is your face so pale? Don’t be afraid, mommy worked hard to get you to seventh place! !]
[… Wait, let me interrupt, how can being seventh be considered hard work? I remember Bomi was fifth last time, right?]
[It hurts, the truth is that Bo Mi's early accumulation has been completely used up by the time he reaches San Gong.]
[Agree, although he has made progress, he is still clearly lacking]
[I think it’s because of Chen Chi who is on the same track. Chen Chi was a useless guy when he first came in, but he improved very quickly. His growth line is much better than Bo Mi’s.]
[Tsk, isn't it because I'm following Fu Xunyan to get in the shot?]
[Why doesn’t Bomi rub it? Is it because he disdains it? LOL]
[The above person is so annoying. Bo Mi wanted to get close to them, but unfortunately he is too selfish. At the beginning of the show, when the treasure hunt was covered in dirt, he didn't want to get close to them. Now that they are glamorous and want to make friends, he is directly blocked by Dal Pei and the others and can't get close to them at all.]
Jiang Sulin's fingertips slid across the sharp edge of the transparent screen, and the spotlight shattered into diamond rain on his eyelashes, leaving some traces of time on his eyes.
"You know—" He suddenly chuckled, "ranking is ice, and dreams are fire."
The music suddenly sank into the deep sea, and close-ups of the trainees began to flash on the big screen.
Although the positive atmosphere of "New Century" makes many fans think that this is an ivory tower, a dream paradise, all the trainees will smile regardless of whether they can make it to the end...
But the reality is not like this.
The blow of being frustrated even though the group is doing well may be more severe than if everyone is miserable.
This unexpected shot revealed some truths that fans had never thought of.
Some people bit their lower lips, some wrinkled the corners of their clothes, and some talked to their companions with a wry smile, but immediately shut their mouths when the camera panned over.
[Wow, wow, Ye Lai is so pitiful. She betrayed the company for them, but now she is isolated.]
[The person above, are you still watching? How did you isolate him? I just walked over to look for treasure and gave him a hug.]
[Laughing to death, be, be, I wish I could be, my Yanda heard the little couple and Hehemeimei]
[The old-fashioned CP names shocked me. Does this show actually have such a thing as CP?]
[Of course, my treasure hunt CP is so good that I can be with anyone]
[Ye Lai really lost all the sesame watermelon this time, it’s not worth it]
[Whose fan is this? The rankings haven't been announced yet, are you still playing around with literature?]
[That’s right, even if Ye Lai doesn’t reach the top, it won’t be your turn!]
The scrolling barrage only existed on the small mobile phone screen. The trainees held their breath and focused, completely unaware of it. They only saw the floating screen suddenly split into countless stars, and each name began to jump wildly.
The drum beats and electronic sounds intertwined and climbed. Behind the beautiful transparent screen, those handsome faces spread out in front of Jiang Sulin like pictures.
He lowered his eyes slightly.
"Our rankings are announced today, starting from 19th place." During the three-second pause, the sound of his breath was picked up by the microphone.
"How bad!" Liu Yongshan raised his fist, his expression ferocious. "Teacher, can I try to get 20th place?"
Everyone laughed and the tense atmosphere seemed to have disappeared, but everyone still felt heavy in their hearts.
Jiang Sulin raised his hand helplessly: "What if you rank higher than this in the end?"
Liu Yongshan pretended to be reluctant to give up: "Then I accept it."
"Really?"
“…Forget it then.”
Liu Yongshan adjusted the atmosphere to the right level, and Jiang Sulin moved the microphone to his mouth.
"Now let's announce the nineteenth place."
Fu Xunyan looked around and someone held his arm from the side.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Fu Xunyan patted the back of his hand. The other party pretended to be in pain and looked at him resentfully.
"You're going to be scolded if you look around so casually," Yin Xingheng muttered. "If I remind you, you'll get beaten up. I'm going to make a scene."
"Come on." Chen Chi rolled his eyes. "Brother Xingheng, that's enough. You bully Xunbao just because he's easy to talk to. You just want to touch his biceps!"
Yin Xingheng chuckled.
Min Hai waved his hand and stood between the two of them.
"Can you guys stop messing around? He's really nervous right now."
"Why is he so nervous?" Bai Wenji came over.
Min Hai said nothing, just smiled.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Fu Xunyan was a little too concerned about Ye Lai.
To be honest, Min Hai doesn't like Ye Lai very much.
He felt a little ashamed. Perhaps someone as deep-minded as him would never be able to get close to people of the same kind.
He looked at Ye Lai as if he were a despicable creature like himself, deliberately approaching an altruist.
He also didn't think that Fu Xunyan had any reason to take care of Ye Lai - who knew why he left Qunxing this time.
Is it to win Xunyan's favor?
Besides, second place...
Ye Lai has a large number of fans because of his debut, and he has also done his best in different styles.
Why does Xun Yan have to regard him as his opponent?
Fu Xunyan was wronged, as he did not regard Ye Lai as his opponent.
He just habitually paid attention to his friends around him because he had missed Jiang Han before.
He is not as kind as Min Hai and the others think.
Without sympathy, encouragement or support, he just watched.
Just believe that Ye Lai can get through it.
Such setbacks will not discourage him.
The nineteenth place was announced, Liu Yongshan.
Liu Yongshan was a little surprised. He stood up with his hand covering his mouth, hugged his friends around him, and high-fived Fu Xunyan and the others when he walked over. Then he excitedly went on stage.
[Hahahaha, I can’t stop laughing. Fu Xunyan and his group look at Liu Yongshan with the same loving kindness as if he were a child.]
[Who says it isn't true? Liu Yongshan deserves it! He is really nice to everyone.]
[Wow, our Yongshan is the best! Our Yongshan will make it to the end!]
Liu Yongshan's ranking has actually always been pretty good, but because his appearance is not that outstanding, he is always easily overlooked, even though his singing and dancing skills are pretty good.
Now, after all the hard work, he was finally discovered.
Liu Yongshan's speech was very sincere, as if he was opening his heart to show everyone. He expressed his luck and gratitude in an encouraging way, which also made a group of online fans cry.
The tenth to eighteenth ones are Shao Ruozhou, Zhang Chi, Zhou Qi, Jiang Han, Bai Zhen, Wu Ruike, Lan Yizhou, and R.TAI.
[This is a shady plot! How did I, Qiqi, end up here? Is this funny?]
[Uh, because your family used to love bundling too much? Now that your debut is approaching, some of the top stars who were willing to support you guys are no longer willing to do so.]
[Excuse me, what's going on with Lan Yizhou? Why did he take our Jiang Ye's place?!]
[Uh, the Crown Prince's attendant is second? In case you don't know, the first one is Shao Ruzhou.]
Shao Ruzhou is no good, he's getting worse and worse. It seems like he won't be able to make the debut position now.
[Of course he can't get in. He had a falling out with the Crown Prince before, and he finally managed to make amends by collaborating on stage, but—the Crown Prince is a man with a grudge, and he definitely won't let him have his way.]
[Let me give you a conspiracy theory. If the prince wants to debut, he will definitely choose someone from his own side. I feel that the probability of Shao Ruzhou and Lan Yizhou debuting is quite high.]
[Ahhhhhh I won't allow it! I won't allow them to destroy my Wanyan group! Especially Lan Yizhou! Please get this immoral man out of here!]
[I don't understand. Is it really that hard to be a rapper this year? Except for Dalbae, who looks like an idol, everyone else made it into the top ten. Isn't that ridiculous?]
[So what? A seven-member group with one main rapper and one who can also contribute a few lines is enough. Why do you need so many rappers? Are you trying to make hip-hop?]
