Chapter 65 Prayer
Li Jinyue rolled her eyes at him: "What contribution did you make?"
Aside from almost losing my voice shouting outside and performing a dance that will become a meme, I did something else entirely.
"How could I not have contributed!" Li Jinzhao began to boast. "I campaigned for my Weiwei! I've been frantically sending links and cheering her on in my buddies' groups lately. My buddies also have a bunch of followers, and those followers are spreading the word to their relatives and friends..."
He confidently declared, "Based on this calculation, we can get at least ten thousand votes for Weiwei!!"
Li Jinyue manually muted his microphone: "Alright, I'm appointing you as the Grand Steward. Now watch the performance."
Several teams took turns performing.
The preparation period for the finals was remarkably effective, with a qualitative leap in both stage arrangement and singing quality, as each group showcased their best skills.
The TV ratings curve has been soaring, and the number of viewers watching the live broadcast has also been climbing steadily.
During the competition declaration segment, emotions were amplified. Some groups had just finished performing when members choked up and lost their voices after only a few words into the microphone. Teammates on stage hugged each other with red eyes to encourage one another.
The area in front of the audience, where their fans were, was filled with tears.
The official support zones allocated to the core fans of each group are located right around the front row of the Olympic Sports Center stands.
Looking around, the dynamics of each fan group were on full display, and the broadcast cameras captured these touching moments. Close-ups of fans shedding tears were projected onto a huge screen outside the venue, and emotions were conveyed through the screen, touching the hearts of countless people.
Li Jinyue had a contingency plan for this.
Whether Ling Wei and her team delivered emotional, passionate, or lighthearted speeches on stage, they prepared appropriate responses, ensuring that they both expressed their true feelings and presented their best selves in front of the broadcast cameras.
Of course, they are not the only ones with this kind of professional competence.
The effect is particularly stunning when "Stellar Resonance" appears.
All the fans in their area, from the front row to the back, stood up in unison, as if they had received a silent command.
Accompanied by an energetic anime-style melody, their support items waved in unison, and in rhythm with the song, they burst into powerful shouts of "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!", perfectly timed and with overwhelming momentum, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the entire venue to a climax.
Even Li Jinyue had to admit that they were indeed slightly inferior in terms of the uniformity and atmosphere of their performance support.
After all, the songs in Star Resonance are all original tracks that have already been released, giving fans ample time to rehearse standardized support routines.
Zoothys' arrangements are as varied as opening a blind box; even with the original track, no one can guess the style until the very last moment.
The shouts from the crowd echoed throughout the venue, creating a powerful sense of pressure.
"Ugh," Li Jinzhao scratched his head in frustration, "This situation is going to be bad."
Qu Chen, standing beside him, remained silent, looking down at the constantly popping fan group messages on his phone screen.
The group was filled with mixed emotions, but the prevailing sentiment remained one of steadfast support and solidarity.
"It's okay, we're already incredibly proud that Zoothys made it all the way to the finals!"
"Don't panic, everyone. Just enjoy their last performance and fight alongside them until the very end!"
Of course, there were also shouts of defiance: "Zoothys is number one! Without a doubt!"
Qu Chen looked away from the screen and gently fiddled with the Ling Wei support card that was fixed to his shoulder.
It was a picture of her cute emoticons, her vivid image swaying gently on the spring stand. Amidst the deafening noise, he suddenly turned his head and placed a very light kiss on that small image.
He knew that Ling Wei's team had not signed with any agency yet. The result of the finals was about honor, but the road ahead required real resources.
He has no connections, but he has money and a brain that learns things extremely quickly.
During this period, he began to study the entertainment industry, which was completely unfamiliar to him, as if he were trying to master code. He even anonymously paid for consultations with several senior consultants in the industry, asking direct and uninformed questions that amused them.
He just wanted to make sure that no matter what the outcome was tonight, there was a strong enough safety net to catch her dreams and send her to shine in a higher place.
come on.
He silently recited it in his heart.
The order of appearance in the finals was still determined by popularity votes. Ling Wei's team ranked second in popularity and was chosen after Star Resonance.
When she learned that "Stellar Resonance" had chosen the sixth position, a golden position that could both avoid the tension at the beginning and create a climax in the middle of the competition, Ling Wei pondered for a moment and unexpectedly chose the ninth position.
She needs to maintain a sufficient time distance from the "resonance of the stars".
If they take the stage immediately afterward, the audience will still be immersed in the excitement of the previous performance and will inevitably judge their performance with the aesthetic standards of the previous stage.
The buffer period between the two teams is enough to allow the excitement at the scene to subside a bit, so that everyone can look forward to their performance with renewed anticipation.
More importantly, being ninth place, right next to the final vote, allows for a final impression that is closest to the voting stage, giving the team the biggest advantage in the voting.
When the Star Resonance performance ended, even the experienced host Jiang Yue had to expend considerable effort to redirect the atmosphere to the next team about to take the stage.
Below the stage, Li Jinzhao closed his eyes, clasped his hands together in prayer, and murmured, "God, I am willing to trade five years of being single for Weiwei and the others to win the championship!!"
Li Jinyue, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask, "Why use something so worthless as a bargaining chip?"
Li Jinzhao instantly exploded: "!!! What nonsense are you spouting!"
He immediately straightened his back, trying to regain his composure, "I, Young Master Li of Nancheng, am known in the industry as someone who's in high demand! Which of my brothers doesn't rely on my charm to organize a party? Without me in charge, those girls wouldn't even bother to come, okay?"
Li Jinyue's face clearly said, "Do you think I believe you?"
Li Jinzhao immediately pulled out his phone, determined to prove himself: "Today I'll show you just how powerful I used to be..."
As he spoke, he skillfully opened a group chat called "Romantic Encounters of Nancheng F8," preparing to showcase his past glories in chat history.
Just then, a new group message popped up.
"You have been removed from the group chat."
Li Jinzhao: "???"
Immediately afterwards, a private chat window popped up in the group from an administrator:
"Hey bro, sorry about that, you've been spamming the group with voting links lately, it's really messed things up. This is a serious (not really) dating group, you've made things really awkward for everyone... We've decided not to include you in any more group chats."
It means he's out of luck when it comes to picking up girls.
Before he could process this blow, the next message arrived:
"By the way, I'm a fan of 'Jiang Ye Divas'. Let's unfriend each other, rivals. Take care."
Li Jinzhao: "......"
Li Jinyue patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Your god said it's OK."
If Vivi really wins the championship, you deserve a lot of credit.
