Chapter 106: It’s been a long time since I last drew a lottery (thanks to Kej for the monthly ticket!)

At this point, the entire third performance of "Morning Star" has come to an end, and all the students have moved to the waiting room to wait for their results.

This time, three mentors came up with stage cards to host the show. Because Zhang Xinlan was a guest performer, she sat with the students.

Luo Yu was the first to speak, but he did not announce the results directly. Instead, he greeted Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, did you have fun today?"

Xia Yan stood up and answered with a smile: "Very happy! Before going on stage, I was worried that I would hinder my teammates, but now it seems that is not the case. I am very happy that I can help them."

While Xia Yan was talking, Lu Bingyang felt like he couldn't breathe, and quickly patted Lin Fan beside him: "Brother Fan! Quick! I can't breathe! I'm going to faint! My goddess is smiling again!"

Lin Fan was so annoyed that he pinched his philtrum with his thumb: "You should be more capable now!"

Luo Yu exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xia Yan and asked about Xia Yan's new album. He called on everyone watching the live broadcast to support Xia Yan's new album when it came out, and only then did he let Xia Yan go.

Other guest performers did not receive such treatment.

Luo Yu went straight to the point of announcing the results: "I have your report cards in my hands. Is there any team whose results you would like to know?"

"First place! Teacher, we want to know which team got first place!"

"That's right! Teacher, can you please stop keeping us in suspense and just announce the winners starting with the first one?"

"Teacher, we want to know the results of Teacher Zhang's team!"

…

Anyway, everyone shouted everything. Ke Xirui held up the microphone and said, "First place! It's impossible to announce the first place! Let's start with the fourth place!"

The students started to make a noise: "Whoa!"

Although this is the same every time, there is still a need for such a process. Otherwise, if the first place result is announced right at the beginning, the biggest suspense will be revealed. How can the following stages proceed? Besides fans, will anyone else look at the results of other groups?

The fourth-place group received a total of 319 votes, which was not a low number considering there were only 400 audience members in the venue.

Then there was the third-place group, which received a total of 346 votes.

Next was the fifth-place group, which received 294 votes, the only group with less than 300 votes.

Now only the first and second place are left, which happen to be the Lin Fan group where Xia Yan is, and the Li Yingqi group where Zhang Xinlan is.

Hey, this! Why is it happening again! The students are all fed up! The program team did this last time, and the fans scolded you for not being satisfied or something, so you do this again? Can you change the routine? Xia Yan and Zhang Xinlan looked at each other across the crowd, and they already understood something.

The director saw through the live camera that the mood among the students had subtly changed again, and he felt very distressed.

Until Luo Yu announced: "The first place received 396 votes, they are, Xia Yan's group!"

The students were stunned for a moment before they realized that the first place announced by Luo Yu was actually Xia Yan's group, not Zhang Xinlan's group! Li Xiaodong was the first to jump up from his seat, stretched out his arms and hooked Lin Fan's neck, shouting excitedly: "Brother Fan! It's us! It's really us!"

Lu Bingyang was so excited that he grabbed Zhuo Yuanquan’s shoulders and shook him: “Quanzi! Did you hear that?”

Zhuo Yuanquan nodded vigorously with red eyes. He heard it! He heard it! He finally did it! He finally got first place!

"Wow!" The whole audience was in an uproar! "This! This! Isn't it! Such a high number of votes?" This person almost said the wrong thing.

"This number of votes is unmatched! Only 4 votes were lost! It's really amazing!"

…

There was also a lot of joy in the barrage.

[Bingquan CP: Finally got the first place! Zhuo Yuanquan worked so hard for this first place! The production team finally found their conscience and returned the first place they owed him! ]

[I understand you: Zhuo Yuanquan really has a hard time. His ranking is firmly suppressed by others, and the live tickets are suppressed. I am so angry that I don’t want to watch this show anymore! But when I saw Zhuo Yuanquan still working hard and practicing desperately, I still watched it despite my nausea...]

[Summer's Cold Tea: Hehehe! You guys are so naive! Do you think the production team finally found their conscience and decided to be human? Wrong! This is because the production team doesn't dare to suppress Xia Yan's votes! ]

…

Seeing this comment passing by, the director sighed in his heart.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It has to be said that it was the netizens and fans who discovered the blind spot.

The third performance stage is such an important performance, how could the production team not want to give tickets to their own artists and let them step on others to get to the top? However, among these others is Xia Yan, which makes it difficult!

Xia Yan herself doesn't care whether the votes are suppressed or not, and even her agency can negotiate with it, but Xia Yan's fans will not agree!

The program team can suppress votes for other students, because no matter how popular other students are, how good their popularity is, or how strong their fans are, they are still vulnerable compared to capital. Those without background can suppress votes, and those with background can discuss it, there is always a solution.

But Xia Yan is different. Even if the program team has discussed it with her agency and even Xia Yan herself, it is not certain that Xia Yan's fans will accept this fact! Because Xia Yan is an outlier in the current entertainment industry. She is a top star among the powerful ones, and even more powerful among the top stars. If you want to suppress Xia Yan's votes, her fans can really tear the program team apart on the spot.

Therefore, we can only keep the real number of votes for Xia Yan's group, and then slightly increase the number of votes for Li Yingqi's group so that the gap between them is not so big. This result will be acceptable to both parties.

For this result, Lin Fan could only say: OK! Although this first place is not what I want, there are other things that I want! For example, the popularity value in the system! Lin Fan's mind sank into the system: "System! Check the popularity value!"

[Current popularity value: 254468, task progress: 613790/1000000]

Compared to the last time the lottery was drawn, the popularity value increased by 213,790. Unconsciously, Lin Fan found that his popularity value was getting closer and closer to 1 million. However, the stage of "Morning Star" was about to end, and the traffic he could get was about to end.

I don’t know if I can reach 1 million popularity points by the time I leave this stage! Forget it, I can’t care so much. Anyway, I don’t plan to debut, so why do I need such high popularity? We’ll see when the time comes!

Now, the lottery is the most important thing!
