Chapter 110 Theme of the Fourth Round Competition
[This group has only been debuting for less than two months? Such stage presence! Such acting! And such vocals! This is incredible!]
[It was truly amazing! I had goosebumps all over my body from the beginning to the end! The acting was so good!]
[Another god-level stage has appeared!]
[Personally, this is the most Dior show I've ever seen!]
[I feel like quite a few of them are ready to go to the crew to act.]
[When Bai Li and Jiang Mo Nan appeared, I gasped. They were so beautiful! Everyone else was just playing roles, but these two really had an inhuman quality, you know?]
[I understand!]
[In my humble opinion, Bai Li is the reincarnation of a fox spirit. Jiang Mo Nan truly has that ethereal aura of an immortal!]
[Not only does he act well, he sings well too. Jiang Monan's voice is absolutely amazing!]
[MDs are all so handsome, I'm going to join the mine!]
[Come on, sisters! Welcome to the mining family! (Originore Amway post: link)]
The performance gradually drew to a close amidst the audience's gasps. The stage lights dimmed, and the members, striking their final poses, disappeared. When the lights came back on, only a mural remained. The members had transformed into the gods, demons, and monsters depicted on the temple mural.
The musical was only four minutes long, but it left a lasting impression on everyone. Even the other competing groups were stunned and impressed by Originore's performance.
After a brief silence, the venue erupted in thunderous screams and applause. The audience could be heard shouting Originore's name throughout the venue.
The competition of "Idol Battle" has entered its third round, and this is the first time that the audience has had such a big reaction to the guests' performance.
This also made Zeng Yu, who originally wanted to go on stage to continue hosting, unable to get a word in.
After a while, when the audience calmed down, Zeng Yu began to continue with the rest of the process.
"The five groups of guests' performances have all been completed. Now, please pick up your voting devices and vote for your favorite performance."
Cai Shumin, who was watching the live broadcast, voted for Originore without hesitation when he saw the voting pop-up window.
This is the most shocking performance she has ever had, no doubt about it!
Whether in "Battle of the Idols" or the previous "Youth Project", the performance of the song "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" can be said to be the best among all the stages!
Whether it is the stage design or the members' performance, one word to describe it is "stunning"!
On the stage, the countdown slowly entered the last thirty seconds.
All the fans watching the show online and offline suddenly felt their hearts in their throats.
This time, can Originore continue its victory from the previous round?
Voting closes soon.
After receiving the statistical results, Zeng Yu glanced at the people on the stage, took a deep breath, and began to announce the results one by one.
"Now let's reveal the final voting rankings for this round of competition."
"The fifth one is——"
"SEXYcode."
When the name of the group was announced, Zeng Yu was stunned, obviously a little surprised.
After all, in his opinion, SEXYcode performed very well in this round and should not be ranked last.
It was not until he saw the fourth-place combination that he understood where the other party had lost.
In fourth place is FOREVER.
As a relatively well-known new idol group in China, FOREVER's popularity is not as high as that of Originore which was selected through a talent show, but it is definitely not low either.
At least it is more popular than SEXYcode, which has never been developed in China.
After all, a large part of the star-chasing group in China are students. Children of this age may not necessarily pursue the strength of their idols, but they definitely care about their appearance.
Most of SEXYcode's fans are adults, and many of them are middle-aged and elderly people who have achieved financial freedom.
Fans of this age group are willing to spend money to watch concerts but may not be willing to spend time and energy to do data voting.
Furthermore, there aren't that many SEXYcode fans in China, so it's not surprising that they lost to FOREVER, a Chinese fan base with a larger fan base, in this round of voting.
LEVELUP took third place.
Although the members' harmonies were perfect, in this kind of idol stage competition program, standing still and performing lyrical songs was still at a disadvantage compared to singing and dancing. Especially when the other two groups performed so well.
However, LEVELUP did not show much resentment about his ranking dropping one place in this round. Instead, he accepted the result calmly.
Even from the perspective of the opponents, the performances of Freez seniors and Originore friends were very good. Especially Originore, their stage was really shocking.
So ranking third doesn't seem unacceptable.
However, this does not mean that they do not want to take first place, but since they cannot change the established results, they might as well pin their hopes on the next round of competition.
Next comes the much-anticipated part.
Will Originore retain the top spot, or will Freez make a comeback?
For a moment, everyone held their breath.
Zeng Yu didn't keep the suspense for too long. He just glanced at the cue card and said, "The second place is - Freez!"
As for who is the first place, the answer is self-evident.
Sure enough, the next second Zeng Yu spoke up: "Let us congratulate Originore for continuing to win first place in the competition!"
The members were stunned for a moment at the result, and then their eyes lit up.
Their first-place finish in the previous round was largely due to their theme. After all, several groups were drawn to music genres they weren't experts in. In this case, winning first place was a matter of luck.
This time, however, most people did not draw disadvantages for themselves, so getting first place in this situation has a completely different meaning.
For a moment, the barrage of comments exploded.
[Our mine is great!]
[Originore, charge! ! !]
[Last round, many people said our mine won because of luck, but this time they were slapped in the face! Our mine not only had luck, but also had strength!]
Honestly, this Originore performance was truly impressive. From the stage concept to the set, music, choreography, and the members' performances, not a single detail was lackluster.
[Although I always knew there were a lot of handsome guys in the mine, this performance made me deeply appreciate the charm of each one.]
[Jiang Mo Nan has a divine appearance! Bai Li is the reincarnation of a fox demon! MDs are all stunners!]
[I wasn't surprised that Mine took first place. I was just surprised that SEXYcode was eliminated, given their excellent performance.]
[No way, our uncle doesn't have many fans in China, so he doesn't have an advantage in voting.]
[The competition system of this show is too cruel. Can't people stay a little longer?]
[Exactly, I just started to like the uncles, but they were eliminated.]
[Why……]
Although the comments were full of regret for SEXYcode's elimination, after three rounds of competition, they had never once ranked in the top row. In this case, the regrets of passers-by are just empty talk and have no meaning.
SEXYcode was more calm about this outcome than anyone expected. After all, the members are older and have been in the industry for many years, so they have long been able to keep their emotions under control and take everything in stride.
But the more they do this, the more uncomfortable their fans will feel.
[This show is so unfair! They should open an overseas voting platform.]
[Although, the international version of the app did open a voting window, but no one was willing to vote.]
[Yes, the voting pool is so small. Most people can't just follow one star, so if there are multiple fans, the uncle is really not at an advantage.]
[In the final analysis, our uncle still has too few fans. When it comes to this kind of voting, having more fans is an advantage, after all, fans are more enthusiastic.]
[See you at our concert in the second half of the year!]
Thank you for participating in "Idol Battle" and letting me get to know you. Although I didn't make it to the end, this is not the end.
That night, the groups gathered at the SEXYcode dormitory for another farewell party. This time, instead of having a barbecue, everyone ordered a bunch of pizza, fried chicken, and Coke.
When you are in a bad mood, these calorie bombs can actually bring you the simplest happiness.
After a night of indulgence, everyone reluctantly bid farewell to the SEXYcode members, and then a new round of competition tasks began.
At this time, each group was sitting in the living room of their respective dormitories, with a white board in front of them, on which were five different themes.
Unlike the blind draws in the previous two rounds, this time the production team played them with open cards.
"The themes for the fourth round of competition are all on this board. You can choose freely."
"The selection process is as follows—"
"Put a piece of paper and a pen in front of you. Write down your favorite theme on the paper and hand it to the production staff."
"If two or even three groups choose the same theme, the groups that chose the same theme will compete in a game to determine the winner. Only the winner will obtain the right to use the theme, while the loser will lose the right to freely choose, and the program staff will randomly select the theme for this round of competition."
After listening to the rules read out by the staff, the members of each group couldn't help but show surprise.
The program crew really knows how to have fun.
With five themes and four groups of people, the probability of drawing the same theme is quite high.
If the same theme is drawn, the groups will have to compete with each other. If the competition fails, the group will lose the right to choose and the program team will randomly draw a new theme from the remaining ones.
If they could communicate with members of other groups in advance, they could avoid drawing the same topic, but the problem was that the program team voted separately for each group.
After thinking about it, Choi Jun-hee wanted to send a message to the members of LEVELUP to ask about their choice intentions.
But he never expected that as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was discovered and stopped by the staff of the program team.
"No snitching allowed. This round is all about heartbeats."
Hearing this, Cui Junxi had no choice but to give up.
Mo Bei, Tao Xiaotie and the others were very calm and only looked at Bai Li who was standing beside them.
"Which one is suitable?"
For a moment, the rest of the teammates turned their eyes to Bai Li.
After the first two rounds of lotteries, they had become incredibly superstitious and reliant on Bai Li's luck. When the production team devised such a tricky rule and prevented them from checking with other groups, they immediately placed their hopes on the other team.
Seeing this, the staff of the program team were startled.
Bai Li's intuition couldn't be that accurate, right? They had clearly designed such a rule...
After a moment's thought, the staff member said, "You'd better think it over carefully. Don't deliberately choose an unpopular theme that might be detrimental to your performance just because you're worried about clashing with others."
However, the members ignored him and just waited for Bai Li to give the results.
Bai Li closed his eyes and was silent for a while before speaking: "Choose nostalgia."
Upon hearing this, the members immediately wrote down their choices on paper.
The staff also tried to persuade them: "Are you sure you don't want to change it?"
Zheng Xingye grinned and said, "No need to change it."
Sheng Yanyu nodded, "If you believe in Emperor Europe, you will win."
Staff: “…”
How could even the most stable captain be like this?
Sighing helplessly, the staff member had no choice but to take the note.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: Could it be that no one chose this topic?
That can’t be the case. How could it be such a coincidence?
Just as the staff was thinking this, the other groups also submitted the topics of their choice.
When they opened it, the director team exclaimed, "Wow!"
No one chose the nostalgic theme chosen by Originore!
Instead, Freez and FOREVER unfortunately chose the same theme - hip-hop.
LEVELUP didn't clash with anyone else, they chose R&B.
However, this group is very good at vocals, and they can even sing a cappella, so it is not surprising that they chose this theme.
Seeing this result, not only the members of Originore, but also the production team were completely convinced.
Bai Li's luck is indeed incredibly good.
The members of Originore and LEVELUP, who had luckily escaped the game PK, naturally felt no burden. However, the members of FOREVER, who had collided with Freez, looked like they wanted to cry but could not.
The production team knows how to create interesting moments, and the games they arranged are also funny, such as guessing lip syncing with headphones. The entire game recording created many laughs.
In the end, the FOREVER members won the victory thanks to their own luck and the tacit understanding among members.
So the losing Freez had to be randomly selected by the program staff from the remaining two themes.
Fortunately, the remaining two topics were not particularly tricky options, so the Freez members were not too worried.
The staff member closed his eyes and fumbled for a while on the two notes upside down on the table, and finally picked up the one on the right.
When I opened it, I saw the words written on it - classical music.
Although the theme is classical music, it does not mean that the members have to actually perform with a symphony orchestra. The program team designed this theme to see the guests blend classical music with modern pop music to create a new audio-visual collision.
Freez naturally understood the intention of the program crew so he remained calm from beginning to end.
To be honest, the moment Song Kanghe got the theme for this round of competition, he already had a rough idea in his mind, and all he needed to do was edit and compose the complete song.
Now that all four groups have received their themes for this round of competition, the next step is to decide the order in which the groups will perform.
Just when Bai Li was getting ready to go on stage to draw lots, the program crew caught everyone off guard and gave them a severe blow.
"Unfortunately, the order of appearance this time will be determined by a random draw by the program staff."
