Day 25
Consistent with the rules of other talent shows, winning or losing the first public performance means extra votes for the trainees.
The rules for the first public performance of "New Century" were announced as early as when the teams were selected.
First, there will be a PK with the same song. Each trainee in the winning team will receive an additional 5,000 votes. Then the trainees with the highest number of votes for each of the six songs will compete again. The trainee with the highest number of votes will receive an additional 5,000 votes.
Judging from the number of votes alone, this is the largest number of extra votes for any talent show to date.
But considering the economic development and the depth of the voting pool, it is normal for the winner to get 10,000 votes. After all, 5,000 votes can only allow the 61st place to jump to the 55th place, and allow the 52nd place to advance by one place.
The first qualifying round will be cut off at 60, and players ranked after 60 will be eliminated directly.
Fu Xunyan didn't care about the complicated looks from Zhou Hengyu and others. He led everyone to sit on the bench on the left, and continued to take out tissues from his pocket and give them to his teammates to wipe their sweat - although they didn't dance much, they still had a lot of cold sweat.
[Hahahaha Treasure Hunt: I, Long Aotian, swear to protect the sweat of Liu Boer and others with my life]
[Is Fu Xunyan's pocket a bottomless pit? How can he fit so many tissues?]
[I picked it up again when I passed by Cody a minute ago while pointing the way]
[You’re so quick, little one! Cody turned around and half the pack of tissues was gone.]
"Ahhh, it's out!" Duan Qiqi subconsciously grabbed her hands on both sides, and everyone immediately stared at the screen.
The screen, which was dark just now, was now printed with two rows of corresponding grids. Later, everyone's names will be announced in descending order according to their ranking in the group.
Fu Xunyan looked around at his teammates, with worry in his eyes, but more of encouragement.
Jiang An, Gu Feng and Peng Siyuan also had mixed feelings. They knew their own abilities and did not expect to get many votes, but people are always like this. When the moment really comes, they can't stop fantasizing about beautiful things.
The first to be announced were the sixth place winners of the two groups' votes.
Jiang An 10 votes vs Jiang Ye 0 votes
It can be said that both sides were shocked.
First, they were surprised that Jiang Ye only had 0 votes. This was the first 0 votes in the public opinion poll. Jiang Ye looked like he was about to collapse, his face pale and incredulous.
But on the other hand, Jiang An's 10 votes were also shocking. Other teams basically had to be third from the bottom to get out of the single digit votes, but Fu Xunyan's group actually had 10 votes in the last place. This seemed to foreshadow a very unlikely but present reality.
Zhou Hengyu and his friends suffered heavy losses.
In the tug-of-war between the "New Century" production team, the audience and the trainees, the votes were finally revealed one by one.
Gu Feng 12 votes vs Cao Silin 3 votes
Peng Siyuan 15 votes vs Ling Yuanhang 6 votes
Bai Zhen 20 votes vs Shao Ruzhou 10 votes (Leader)
Duan Qiqi (Center) 25 votes vs. Wu Ruike 14 votes
Fu Xunyan (Leader)? vs Zhou Hengyu (Center)?
[Oh my god, this ticket type is really amazing. Except for the first place in each group, the others are actually very average.]
[Actually, Fu Xunyan's group is pretty normal. Except for Duan Qiqi, the center, who's a little low, the others are pretty much the same as the other groups. It's mainly Shao Ruzhou's group that got ripped off. It's the first time I've seen a third place with only a dozen votes...]
[Haha, Wu Ma has nothing to say. With their song arrangement, apart from Zhou Hengyu who always occupied the center position and had shots, the others were just background members. It was thanks to my son's loud singing voice that he left a memorable impression...]
[After that long and boring monologue, I had zero impression of Zhou Hengyu's group's performance. I can't even remember who doge]
[Damn, I have to see who scheduled them after tonight's show airs. This is terrible.]
[Well, logically speaking, the two groups have such different styles. It seems the trainees had their own ideas and took over the planning work. Why don't you, Shao Ruzhou's group, check who has the most say in the group? (whispering)]
[This is so funny, I'm almost naming names. Besides Zhou Hengyu himself, who else in their group has the ability to convince the production team to accept this kind of crap proposal? The prince's stinky feet just have to be praised.]
[Aaaaaaah I don't care about the others, I only care about how many votes the last two people got! If Zhou Hengyu uses some backstage trick to get over a hundred votes, I'll be really pissed!]
Duan Qiqi did not feel any regrets about having only 25 votes, because after all, his opponent only had 14. Duan Qiqi was already very satisfied to have 25 in this situation.
And even if he won first place in the group, it would be impossible for him to get first place in six songs. It would be better to hope that Brother Fu could lead them to 5,000 votes each.
He put his hand on Fu Xunyan's shoulder and stared at the screen with a nervousness as if the college entrance examination results were coming out.
"Show your power! Brother Fu must exceed 100."
Under the anxious gaze of 12 pairs of eyes, the screen finally began to reveal the scores at a snail's pace.
The last digit was given first. Fu Xunyan got 6, while Zhou Hengyu got 9.
[I’m so anxious, so anxious! Slow down! I’m going to run to the production team’s door!]
[Oh my god, is there anyone who can hack into the production team and help me check the score?!]
126!
126!!!
"Ahhhhhhh! Brother Fu got a super high score!!!" Duan Qiqi jumped up first and threw herself into Fu Xunyan's arms. Fortunately, Peng Siyuan and the others supported her from behind and prevented Fu Xunyan from falling headfirst.
"How..." Zhou Hengyu almost said it out loud, looking at his 69 points on the screen with a dejected look.
Fu Xunyan almost surpassed him by twice!
The problem is, just a few days ago his total number of votes was still fifth, while Fu Xunyan was only eighth. Regardless of the fan base or other factors, Fu Xunyan should not have surpassed him by so much today!
Why?
"Why else can I do that because I performed well?" Liu Yu excitedly started a world war with the sour chickens online.
"Although this wave of 'Wind' does have the advantage of having fewer popular trainees, the fact that Zhou Hengyu only received 69 votes from Fu Xunyan is enough to show how talented Fu Xunyan is."
Liu Yu looked around excitedly. Although many girls were surprised at Fu Xunyan's extremely high vote count, they lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
"Actually, it's not impossible. I voted for him..."
His colleagues glared at him, "You've gone too far! You're betraying the revolution! Didn't we agree that we'd vote for Qiqi and the others today and abstain from voting for other performances?"
"Forget it, Captain. There were only a few people who agreed to abstain from voting." Another girl rolled her eyes. "Besides, I saw it all. You voted too. Stop making a fuss."
"It's mainly because Fu Xunyan's beauty is so alluring that the sisters couldn't hold back and all voted."
Liu Yu also saw several girls in the distance hugging each other and crying excitedly. When they met Liu Yu's gaze, one of them nodded with relief.
They are also looking for their mother.
"126 votes, what a fantastic number. 'A Love Song' should not have been able to get higher than this score. Fu Xunyan should be sure to get first place in the first public performance this time." Liu Yu forced herself to calm down.
"It's good to begin with." Xiaomei added silently, "His singing is really good. The quality of his live performance is so good, and he's also very good in the live broadcast room."
Liu Yu nodded, suddenly feeling somewhat thankful for the production team's decision to livestream the performance. Wouldn't all the demons and monsters be exposed immediately? The usual online war of words that followed the first public performance had been much quieter this year.
It's so funny. Anyone who has listened to the live performance or the live broadcast will know that there is no problem for Fu Xunyan to get this number of votes - even Zhou Hengyu's number is inflated!
Liu Yu felt like she was about to fly with joy. There was nothing she could do about it. It was so satisfying to see her idol doing well.
After Fu Xunyan's results came out, Liu Yu felt relieved.
There is no way. Anyone who works in a fan club or fan group actually cannot enjoy the pure pleasure of chasing stars. Their daily life is more like a job, and their motivation comes from their love for their idols.
If the love is gone one day, they will quit quickly.
Of course, the above is the pure version.
In fact, as the investment increases, many fans have huge "sunk costs". So even if they slowly witness the downfall of their idols, they are unable to break free because of the flow of money and the constraints of some intangible things.
Liu Yu only hopes that Fu Xunyan can become a clear stream in this circle.
She also asked herself late at night, do you really want to step into this dirty place again?
Fu Xunyan's past told her that, yes, perhaps he had the qualities that made Liu Yu fight for him.
Liu Yu would never believe that a person who could shoulder so much and still live so hard would be slowly corrupted and become corrupt.
And if that day really comes... Liu Yu can only say that she will witness a century-long collapse, and will also feel a secret joy because she is one of the close witnesses of it.
At that time, Fu Xunyan was no longer an idol to be pursued, but a topic of conversation and laughter.
**
Yin Xingheng's "A Love Song" was also very successful, winning him a good result of 120 votes, second only to Fu Xunyan.
The first two hit songs in "New Century" were both ballads, which caught everyone by surprise, because this does not conform to the rules of general talent shows at all.
Songs that are more explosive and explosive tend to grab the audience's attention immediately, which is why dance music is the preferred choice in competitive competitions. Something as melancholic as "Wind, Another Night of Rain" needs to be complemented by post-production atmosphere to shine.
With that in mind, Zhou Hengyu put a lot of effort into the set, giving up on the actual scene and pinning his hopes on the stage presented by the camera.
But his coordination ability was too poor, which made the stage extremely boring.
Not only that, he also met Fu Xunyan, who was the complete opposite of him and spent his energy on "sincerity".
Yes, no matter the adaptation, the simple setting, or the superb makeup, their core is to let as many people as possible feel the power of the song in a simple and unpretentious way.
In other words, they are sculpting the songs themselves instead of spending a lot of effort on packaging.
As soon as the live broadcast ended, the B-group sound source of "Wind, Another Night of Rain" kicked Fu Xunyan's "Love Thorn", which had been on the top of the list for a week, off the charts and successfully occupied the first place.
The audio source of Group A of "A Love Song" also soared to below "Wind, Another Night of Rain" at a very fast speed. For a while, the top three on the new song hot list were all "New Century".
Other songs also made the list, but they were all outside the top five and were not worth mentioning compared to the first two songs.
Teacher Chen Mingque happened to receive an interview. The entertainment reporter did not deliberately cue him, but Teacher Chen liked talented people.
"I've actually been watching 'New Century Idol' again recently, yes, that talent show. Yeah, it's very trendy... I'm particularly optimistic about Xiao Fu. He's a great adaptor. I even listened to his song 'Love Thorn,' and his originality is excellent too. I really think he'll be able to produce even better works in the future."
Teacher Chen said this with a noticeable stiffness, and gave a thumbs-up sign in a somewhat comical manner, "I really like your attitude towards music. I really hope to work with you in the future."
[Bao, I am the sack you like: #Fu Xunyan《Wind Ah》# When I woke up, I saw my son ascending 666]
[Xunbao debuts in the center position! :#FuXunYan《Wind Ah》# Me too, I got off work too late last night and couldn't make it to the live broadcast. I figured I'd just live on Friday, pre-game on Saturday, and edited on Sunday, so I skipped the live broadcast. I didn't expect that...]
[Xiu Fen is me: #Fu Xun Yan《Wind Ah》# When 126 votes appeared, my heart was excited. When Teacher Chen dropped an aircraft carrier, I was already exploding.]
[I'm praying for rain on Mount Kilimanjaro: #FuXunYan's beautiful stage# You're so proud of me, my dear!]
[The Southernmost Point of the World: #FuXunYan's Beautiful Stage# Sisters, don't delay voting! We're already pretty close to Ye Lai in the overall rankings, and first place is just around the corner! We have to give Bao a surprise before the first public rankings are released, go for it!!!]
[Earth Crossing Line: #Fu Xunyan's Beautiful Stage# is fully subscribed!]
[Xiu Fen is me: #Fu Xunyan's beautiful stage# has been voted in! +1]
[Xunbao C position debut! : #FuXunYan's beautiful stage# Votes are full! +10086]
[When will my son be able to make a name for himself: #傅寻烟美鼠了# The fans are sneaking over here... You guys are really career fans, no one praised Fu Xunyan's face? Oh my god, I was so beautiful last night, and I'm still in a trance today...]
[Sugar syndrome: #傅寻烟美鼠了# As we all know, face is the least noteworthy advantage of treasure hunting]
[Xiu Fen is me: @my son, when will you be able to make it? Maybe you're in the wrong circle. Go check it out. Our group is "Treasure Hunt," and career fans usually get in. The beauty group and the stage group are next door, "Aphrodite."]
When will my son finally make it big: @Xiu Fen is me. It's amazing that you have five large teams of 10,000 people... What a rapid expansion!
Unlike the top trending search that was all praising the stage and Fu Xunyan's face, the fifth most searched person was actually Zhou Hengyu.
But it wasn’t a good entry, it was “Zhou Hengyu exceeded budget”.
The most popular post analyzed in depth the price of Zhou Hengyu's set, and concluded that unless Zhou Hengyu could get sponsorship from a furniture factory, the cost of the show would definitely exceed 30,000.
Even when the topic was getting more and more heated, someone claiming to be a staff member of the program team came out to reveal that Zhou Hengyu had taken up the budget of Fu Xunyan's team, and that Zhou Hengyu's family really supported his "idol career" and had greeted the program team more than once.
This caused a lot of excitement among the crowd.
