Even the guests participating in the show didn't know their scores from the previous episode before it aired. Therefore, by the time the third episode was filmed, the atmosphere was tense from the very beginning, and speculation about the competition trended on Weibo's hot search list.
A quick scroll through Weibo's rankings reveals numerous posts from guests campaigning and generating buzz before the show's premiere. Lan Xi's team consists of popular actors and consistently ranks in the top three of the trending topics. While Ning Li's team also posted on Weibo, it was only a few die-hard fans helping to generate buzz, resulting in a lukewarm response.
The staff members on the show all started whispering among themselves.
Everyone had heard the gist of it, but the matter was quite a hot topic on Weibo and the show, and the staff also wanted to know who would win this challenge.
Even the guest performers from the participating groups lost their motivation to rehearse and started discussing which group would win the challenge.
On the contrary, both Lanxi and Ningli's teams were seriously rehearsing for the theme filming of the third episode. Because Chen Yixing withdrew from the show, a spot was vacant in Lanxi's team. Zhong Yiren had the influence of the Zhong family, so she could naturally be parachuted into the production team and appear as a mystery guest in the third episode to give Lanxi's team a boost.
Lan Xi was full of confidence that Zhong Yiren's personal segment would win first place, and she was looking forward to seeing this mystery guest.
She wanted to see how Zhong Yiren would defeat Yun Xinyan.
"How many votes did you get in your individual ranking this time, Yi Yi?" asked a member of Lan Xi's group.
"The questions were quite difficult this time. Actually, I didn't perform well in the second round either, but my individual score is still 500,000."
"Five hundred thousand! That's quite a lot! Being popular is impressive. I only have half of what you have."
"What's so great about 500,000? I have 500,000 this time too," Chen Yiwen said with a sneer.
Chen Yiwen was the last-place member of Lanxi's team in the previous season. She was heavily criticized at the end of the last season and has been working hard to improve her acting skills. This time, she has indeed made great progress.
This was something no one expected, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. If Chen Yiwen and Zhong Yiren's scores were tied when the final scores were announced, wouldn't that be a slap in the face for Zhong Yiren?
She was a special guest, yet her score was the same as the bottom-ranked student. How embarrassing!
Zhong Yiren's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. She didn't want her score to be so low this time, but the themes of the later rounds were too tricky. She even suspected that someone was deliberately making things difficult for them!
Lan Xi said seriously, "What's there to be afraid of? Even if they're worse than Ning Li's group, we'll still win as long as we beat Ning Li's group."
Indeed, their opponents this time are Ning Li's group, who are overestimating themselves.
Zhong Yiren's expression softened somewhat. Isn't the "lucky koi girl" trend popular these days?
If Lanxi's group wins, she can have the company promote her as a lucky charm girl.
A smug smile appeared on Zhong Yiren's lips.
******
The filming of Ning Li's third episode was much more difficult. Although the results of the second episode were not yet available, it was easy to guess that the score would not be very high. She could only try her best to raise the score in this episode. However, none of the team members were in the right state of mind. Ning Li couldn't help but feel a little irritated and said, "What's wrong with you guys! Are we even going to film or not?"
Li Chang said listlessly, "What's the point of filming anymore? We'll probably be eliminated in the first round."
