After hearing the host explain the rules, Guo Xiaoran and Meng Xing, who were sitting in the audience, couldn't help but look at each other.
There's hope.
This is what is meant by "It is better to rank well than to play well. No matter how good your performance is, it is still not as good as having a stupid teammate on the opposite side."
Originally, facing Qin Yunshang, they had no chance of taking first place.
But if their opponent adds Chen Liang, they will have a chance to compete for the first place.
The points system for this final is as follows:
The tickets are counted first, the first place gets 50 points, the second place gets 30 points, and the third place gets 10 points.
Next is the first round of PK. The three people take turns singing and the judges give scores to announce the first, second and third places.
Then starting from the third place, you will actively select an opponent to PK with. If the PK is successful, you will get 50 points, and if the PK fails, you will lose 50 points accordingly.
The third round of online canvassing will begin again. The first place will receive 150 points, the second place will receive 50 points, and the third place will receive 0 points.
In other words, the difference between first and second place, even if one and three rounds are added together, is only 100 points.
If the first and second place teams face off in the second round, and the second place team wins by chance, the difference between the two teams will be evened up with one plus one minus.
Add to that the rule of "25% points deduction for not showing up", and wouldn't that mean you've won straight away?!
Before the competition, Guo Xiaoran had already calculated the points of the competition system and studied all the situations, so he was particularly sensitive;
Although Meng Xing seems to be indifferent, he actually has the ambition to be the best.
Guo Xiaoran narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Meng Xing, and said:
"What do you think?"
Meng Xing pursed his lips and whispered, "Strive for second place."
"Second place?" Guo Xiaoran almost laughed out loud when he heard Meng Xing say that. "I don't believe you've been working on your song until 4am these past few days just to get second place."
"First second, then first," Meng Xing said. "It's impossible to win the ticket market. Let's start from the first round and see."
Guo Xiaoran smiled.
It seems that both of them think the same thing.
Some are happy while others are worried. They feel there is hope, but others will also discover this problem after watching the competition system.
Especially Yun Shanger’s fans, they were extremely anxious at this time.
In the forum and Yun Shang'er's vote-gathering group, all kinds of news were flying around at this time.
There are all kinds of rumors about Chen Liang's disappearance.
Some say that Chen Liang was excluded by the production team and could not appear on the show;
There are also rumors that he had a financial dispute with the production team and that the profit sharing in the contract was uneven. He was not able to protest on the show and was targeted by the production team as a result.
Some also said that this was a deliberate program effect created by the production team, otherwise Qin Yunshang would be too strong and the other two would have no chance of winning.
The most outrageous thing was that he went to Okubo Park and lived illegally with a local female college student, and was arrested and put in jail.
In the forum, a post about "Where on earth has Chen Liang been" instantly generated more than 6,000 comments.
"Honestly, if Chen Liang hadn't come and Yun Shang'er had lost, he would have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
"Will the production team let Yun Shang'er lose? Aren't they afraid of being blasted?"
"This is where the production team is trying to curry favor. As long as they put the blame on Chen Liang, they're going to blast Chen Liang. It seems like the production team is already preparing a shady plot."
"To put it bluntly, Chen Liang is a discarded pawn. He has no background and no qualifications, making him the perfect person to take the blame."
"Is this a forum for filial sons? Why are all the speakers so filial? You, Chen Liang, have no background and no qualifications, so what blame can you take? If he doesn't show up, you can just pass the blame on to others."
"Then why didn't he play? With all the traffic in the finals, he didn't take it. Do you think he's crazy?"
"Maybe he's just mentally unstable? If he were, how could he be almost thirty and still not debut?"
"I originally thought Chen Liang would be the biggest surprise for me on this show, but unexpectedly, he became the biggest shock..."
…
Before the show started, Liu Ruying and a few others quietly slipped out from the backstage, sat down in their seats, and just happened to hear the host finish reading the rules.
Xiao Qing frowned: "Oh no, Chen Liang... No, it's Chen Ya. If Chen Ya doesn't come, Yun Shang'er won't lose, right?"
Lu Qianzi glared and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? That's JX. He wrote the song, how could he lose?"
"That's hard to say. How many of these people here know that Chen Liang is from JX?"
Lu Qianzi tugged at Lu Qingxuan beside her and asked, "Will Yun Shang'er lose?"
Lu Qingxuan looked around, as if trying to find Chen Ya in the crowd, and said absentmindedly:
"To be honest, I'm not really worried."
"How sad it must be for Yun Shang'er to lose. You have such a good relationship with her, aren't you worried?"
Lu Qingxuan said, "Qin Yunshang has already earned enough from these songs to cover her pension insurance. Even if she loses, she won't be short of resources in the future. There's nothing to worry about. Right now, I'm only worried about..."
"What are you worried about?"
"Worried about Chen Ya."
These words were not said by Lu Qingxuan, but by Liu Ruying. After she finished speaking, Lu Qingxuan looked at her with a bit of exasperation as if she had been exposed.
Liu Ruying folded her arms and glanced at her. "I'm really worried about my boss. If he hadn't encountered something really difficult, he wouldn't have said nothing at all."
On the stage, the host appeared. The women all shut up at once, the lights dimmed, and the noise in the venue gradually subsided.
"We just counted the tickets for each of the three contestants and found them to be as follows:
"Lu Chujiu, 1672, Jin Lan, 1881, Qin Yunshang, 7964!"
As soon as the words fell, many audience members cheered spontaneously, but the sound was not loud because almost half of the audience were Japanese and they did not understand what the host was saying and were confused.
