Chapter 42 Second Round Elimination Ranking
Perhaps because they were worried about something and had poor sleep quality, the contestants got up and washed up before the alarm on the next day sounded.
Near 8 o'clock, when the production team sent someone to call the contestants to the studio to record the elimination rankings, everyone was already prepared.
After a long time, everyone had mixed feelings when they changed into the white stand-up collar uniform from the theme song.
Compared to the excitement I felt when I first received this dress, it now carries an additional layer of heavy meaning of elimination and farewell.
When Mo Bei walked into the studio, Tao Xiaotie was holding a large bag of meat buns and chewing on them.
Seeing him approach, the young man paused. He considered for a moment, raised his round eyes and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Lei Lie was speechless. He seemed to want to say something, but as more and more people filled the studio, he finally kept his mouth shut.
Mo Bei could probably guess what he was thinking, so he just smiled at Tao Xiaotie and shook his head: "No, just eat it."
Seeing Mo Bei's refusal, Tao Xiaotie breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
As a glutton who could never get enough, he was generally not willing to share his food with others. Fortunately, the zombie in front of him did not like to eat, so he was able to keep his meat bun.
To be honest, the meat buns in the cafeteria tasted just so-so, nowhere near as good as Grandma's. But he was a glutton who wasn't picky about food and was easy to feed. Given the current situation, as long as the food was plentiful and filling, he wouldn't be picky.
After a while, the scene was set up and the cameramen were in place. The director's staff came over to remind the contestants that they could take their seats for the recording.
When Lu Xiaoyin saw the big bag of meat buns in Tao Xiaotie's hand, she was stunned.
Wow! You ate so much?
By the time the show was recorded, Tao Xiaotie's voracious appetite was no longer a secret. Even so, she couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this scene with her own eyes.
This kid is such a big eater!
Complaining inwardly, Lu Xiaoyin calmed herself down and said to Tao Xiaotie, "The recording will start in 5 minutes. I don't think you can finish so many buns in such a short time, how about..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man opened his mouth and ate the meat buns one by one at an incredible speed. In a moment, the brown paper bag, which had been full, was completely empty.
Witnessing this fantastic scene, Lu Xiaoyin was so shocked that her jaw almost hit the ground.
Tao Xiaotie smacked his lips twice, still unsatisfied, and said, "I'm done."
Looking at the flat belly of the boy in front of her, she blinked and it took her a long time to react.
I don’t know where all the food Tao Xiaotie ate went. He didn’t gain any weight or grow taller.
Lei Lie, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see Tao Xiaotie's greasy mouth, so he took out a tissue from his coat pocket and wiped his mouth.
Seeing his skillful movements, Zhao Xi, who was passing by, couldn't help but joked: "Brother Lie is really good at taking care of people."
Lei Lie's cheeks flushed, "I've been used to taking care of my younger brothers and sisters since I was a child."
Hearing this, Mo Bei was a little surprised, "You have brothers and sisters?"
"Um."
Zhao Xi, who also has brothers, immediately became excited. "Are your younger siblings also twins? How old are they?"
Lei Lie shook his head. "They're not twins. The sister is 15 and the brother is 8."
Hearing this, Zhao Xi's eyes revealed a hint of envy: "That's great, I also want a well-behaved sister."
Although they were only five minutes apart, Zhao Xi was always a younger brother to Zhao Chen. He dreamed of being a big brother. Unfortunately, his parents felt that having two sons was already noisy enough, and if the third child was also a son, what would the family be like?
After all, the gender of the child is not determined by their own wishes, and if a boy is born, it cannot be returned.
Unlike Zhao Xi's face full of envy, Lei Lie's expression was a little hard to describe.
Well-behaved? His sister has absolutely nothing to do with this word.
Thinking of his sharp-tongued sister who always mocked her brother as a fool, Lei Lie felt a tightness in his chest.
"Actually, having a younger sister is just like that. There's nothing to envy."
Hearing this, Zhao Xi said with a look of disapproval: "You don't know how to appreciate your blessings."
“…”
Do you want this blessing?
Lei Lie originally wanted to retort, but the stage manager came over and urged them to take their seats, so he had to give up.
The circular seats opposite the stage have shrunk again, and the original 60 seats have been reduced to 40.
Although it is much better than the situation in the first public hour when 40 people were eliminated, the tension caused to the contestants has not been reduced in the slightest.
Looking at the seats in the distance where the circle was shrinking again, the contestants were filled with anxiety.
Even if they try their best to appear calm and composed on the outside, only they themselves know the truth.
In the waiting area, the contestants were still seated according to their classes. So far, no contestant from Class A had been eliminated.
In contrast, the CDF class seemed to be the hardest hit by elimination, with a large area of seats almost completely empty. Bai Li, who was at the top of the debut circle, stood out among them.
However, Bai Li himself didn't seem to care. Perhaps he didn't get enough sleep, so he yawned without caring about his image.
When he yawned for the fourth time, the host Zeng Yu finally appeared in the studio.
The process was pretty much the same. After the usual opening remarks, Zeng Yu began announcing the vote rankings from the bottom up.
Unlike last time, this time the host did not announce the 40 votes at the end, but announced them directly.
After this period of accumulation, the votes of the contestants have increased significantly compared to the first round. I remember that the 40th place contestant in the first round had more than 490,000 votes, and this time it directly increased to 800,000 votes.
When Li Yancheng heard his name being called, he didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.
Fortunately, he made it to the third public performance. Unfortunately, he has already reached the elimination line. After the next round of performances, he may leave this stage.
Li Yancheng went on stage with mixed feelings and seemed a little incoherent when he gave his speech. He not only thanked the fans who voted for him and his teammates, but also thanked his parents, mentors and the production team, and even the elderly grandmother next door.
But no one would laugh at him at this time. After all, the other party had already been confirmed to advance, while their results were obviously not yet settled.
Because there were only 40 people who advanced, the ranking announcement was much faster than last time, and it didn't take long before they entered the top 30.
Zhao Xi and Zhao Chen were ranked 28th and 29th last time, but this time they each improved five places to 23rd and 24th.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiongyi, who had previously ranked 30th, surpassed his twin brothers to rank 21st. This achievement couldn't have been achieved solely with the 100,000 vote bonus. After all, the higher the ranking, the greater the difference in votes between contestants.
Obviously, Lin Jiongyi has been continuously gaining fans during this period.
When it comes to the top 20, the changes are huge.
Zhou Quan, a Class A contestant who was originally ranked 19th, dropped to 22nd. He was replaced by Lu Ping, who was originally ranked 23rd.
Zheng Xingye made a small progress from 15th place to 13th place because of his good performance in the rap group in this performance.
Choi Jun-hee shined in the dance group, jumping from 11th place to 10th for the first time in the debut circle. Su Yi, who was originally 10th, fell to 11th.
However, the gap between the two was still not particularly large, just over 200,000 votes. After rounding off the decimals, it was exactly the sum of the individual popularity votes and the group winning bonus votes.
There were also changes in positions for the 5th to 9th places.
Tao Xiaotie, who won first place in the rap group and a solo bonus ticket, jumped from ninth place to seventh place.
Zhong Gaoyi, who was originally ranked 8th, fell to 9th. Xu Tingchuan, who was originally ranked 7th, became 6th.
Yi Chuheng went from 6th to 5th, while Chang Jun, who was supposed to be 5th, fell to 8th.
The 4th place is still Bai Li.
Upon learning that he had taken fourth place again, Bai Li couldn't help but sigh, "How come Lei Lie beat him again?"
Having said that, there was no dissatisfaction on his face.
It is worth mentioning that when he gave his speech, he said nothing else but simply said:
"Stop calling me wife, I'm a man!"
At this time, Bai Li still didn't know that humans have a kind of psychological state called rebellious psychology. When the main program was broadcast, when he said this, the barrage of comments on the screen was filled with "Okay, wife."
Perhaps inspired by Bai Li, when it was Lei Lie's turn to take the stage, he also said: "Don't call me husband anymore. I can't marry so many people. Besides, bigamy is illegal!"
The moment these words were spoken, the audience erupted in laughter, instantly dispelling the sadness of the eliminated contestants. Even the host could barely contain his expression.
However, Lei Lie's personality is quite different from his appearance. He looks like a rebellious mixed-race cool guy, but he is actually a simple and foolish person.
After finally suppressing his laughter, Zeng Yu coughed and said, "Next, let's announce the second place."
Upon hearing this, the laughter at the scene stopped immediately.
Everyone was curious about who would be the first between Jiang Mo Nan and Sheng Yan Yu this time.
Last time, the difference between the two was only 250,000 votes. Winning first place in the group and most popular votes within the group would earn a 200,000-vote bonus, and with the added bonus of fan votes, a mere 250,000 votes shouldn't be difficult to close. By that calculation, Sheng Yanyu taking first place isn't out of the question.
But then I thought, this time both of them seem to have received 200,000 votes. So, it seems a lot of things are unpredictable.
Because of the Internet outage, the contestants at that time did not know that Jiang Mo Nan’s interaction with fans had gone viral.
Even the production crew didn't expect that Jiang Mo Nan would come up with a new job without anyone knowing.
When director Zhuo Yanbin interviewed him during the audition, he had no idea that this guy was actually a natural traffic star, and his every move would attract the attention of others.
You should know that there has never been a shortage of such "fan-pampering videos" in the circle, and some artists will even deliberately market this to attract and retain fans.
Jiang Monan doesn't have a company, and the show didn't buy him trending topics. He went viral with just a simple fan video, even boosting the show's popularity. Wouldn't those celebrities who've lost both their reputations and their reputations be envious?
Not only the production team, but even the platform headquarters had to kowtow to him when they saw him. After all, because of Jiang Mo Nan, even the program had recently attracted more sponsors.
It is true that small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck.
If this trend continues, the name Jiang Monan will sooner or later be promoted to a new top star.
Thinking in his mind, the director signaled the director to point the camera at the two people on the stage.
Mo Bei in the video remained calm and composed, showing no emotion. Sheng Yanyu, while not as expressionless as Mo Bei, also didn't reveal his desire for first place or jealousy of Jiang Mo Nan, as the production team had hoped.
Zeng Yu glanced at the card and smiled, "Congratulations, Sheng Yanyu, 8,835,782 votes!"
As if he had anticipated this result, Sheng Yanyu did not show any disappointment. He just smiled and said to Mo Bei, "Congratulations."
Mo Bei didn't pretend to be modest, he just said generously: "Thank you."
After the second place vote count is announced, the first place vote count will be announced soon after.
After seeing the 10,356,660,000 votes displayed on the screen, the whole audience gasped.
This is a difference of nearly 1.2 million votes!
Last time, they were only short of 250,000, but this time, there was a huge gap! ?
