Chapter 137: Clouds and Breeze (Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
…
The second competition of the first round of "Singer" is to decide which singers will be eliminated.
Again, once someone is eliminated in the PK, especially the first one to be eliminated, it will be an absolute huge blow to the competing singer who is not very famous to begin with.
Therefore, before the results were announced, some competing singers were already so nervous that their expressions looked unnatural.
but--
Not all competing singers are nervous.
Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang, who won first and second place respectively in the last competition and performed extremely well in this competition, were not nervous at all, especially the latter, who seemed to care nothing about the result of the competition.
"Today is the second round of our competition. First, we will announce our ranking for this round. After that, we will add up the total votes for the two rounds and calculate the final result."
"My phone rang just now. I think the news might be the result of our second game today. Let's take a look at what the result is."
"Everyone please calm down."
Although all the competing singers tried their best to act calm, the reality was that all the competing singers except Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang were at risk of being eliminated, so they were actually very nervous.
But at this time, Hong Hai was still hesitating, exacerbating the mental torment of these competing singers.
Some people are under too much psychological pressure, like Chen Mingming, who was at the bottom of the list in the last game. He couldn't even force a smile.
Perhaps he realized that if he continued to exaggerate the tense atmosphere, someone might get angry, so Hong Hai started to get to the point: "I will announce the results of the second competition of the first round of Bibai Laundry Detergent's "Singer" now."
"Well... this time I want to announce the third place first."
As a result, Hong Hai's old habit of creating an atmosphere came back. He continued to nag, "As for the result of this competition, when we were watching the competition, we really didn't expect it to be such a result."
As soon as Hong Hai said this, the singers who were already very nervous almost felt their hearts rise to their throats.
"Now I announce that the third place winner of the second round of the first round of the Bibai Laundry Detergent Singer is..."
"The third place goes to..."
"The third place winner is..."
"The third place goes to... Haifan Group!"
After hearing this answer, Hu Hai and Chen Fan were obviously relieved.
In this match, Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang were fighting like gods. Everyone could guess that the first and second place would definitely be between Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang.
In this case, the best result is third place.
In addition, the Haifan combination also won third place in the last game.
The Haifan combination can be said to be completely safe.
"yeah!"
Hu Hai and Chen Fan punched at the same time, and then clapped their hands to celebrate! Next: The fourth place is Huang Shanshan.
The fifth place is Shang Jie.
The only four people whose results have not been announced are Yang Xindong, Tian Haitang, Paul Wong and Chen Mingming.
Although the results of the remaining four have not been announced yet, everyone speculates that Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang will compete for the first and second places, and Paul Wong and Chen Mingming will compete for the sixth and seventh places.
As a result, Chen Mingming, who was at the bottom of the last competition, almost cried - now, even if Chen Mingming got sixth place, she would be the singer most likely to be eliminated.
"Now I'm going to announce the sixth place first."
In fact, this was an idea that Hong Hai changed at the last minute.
Because "Singer" uses a last-place elimination system.
Under such a competition system, the most interesting thing to watch is undoubtedly who will get the seventh place and be very close to being eliminated.
In this competition, the level gap was so great that anyone who was not a fool could guess that the first and second place would be between Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang.
By reverse reasoning, as long as Hong Hai announces who between Paul Wong and Chen Mingming gets the sixth place, then the remaining one of the two will basically be at the bottom and will face the fate of being eliminated.
but--
There are exceptions to everything.
There is a mystery between the sixth and seventh places this time.
In other words, even if people know who is the sixth and who is the seventh, it doesn’t matter, because there is still a twist in the story.
Hong Hai, with his keen sense as an excellent variety show director, judged that in this competition, more people might be paying attention to who will win the first place between Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang.
Therefore, Hong Hai temporarily modified the script and announced the sixth place first.
"The sixth place is..."
"The sixth place is..."
Hong Hai mentioned the sixth place twice in a row, but he didn't say who the sixth place was.
Chen Mingming felt that Hong Hai would look up at her every time he read it, as if he was telling her: "Don't be lucky, the one who will go home is you."
As a result, Alexander's Chen Mingming suddenly showed a look of collapse.
Seeing this, Hong Hai finally said: "The sixth place is Chen Mingming."
When Paul Wong heard this, his face suddenly froze.
However, Paul Wong finished fourth in the last competition. He felt that even if he got last place, he would not be eliminated.
Besides, there is still a first and second place.
People should have dreams, right? What if it comes true?
Seeing Chen Mingming secretly wiped away his tears, Paul Wong seemed very optimistic.
Hong Hai looked at Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang and said, "First of all, I want to thank you two for presenting such a great work to us today. On behalf of all the staff of the Singer production team, I would like to congratulate you. You two won the first and second place in the second competition of the first round respectively. As for who is the first and second place, please allow me to keep you in suspense for now."
At this point, Hong Hai looked at Paul Wong, whose face also fell: "I regret to inform you, Paul Wong, you are the seventh in this competition."
Paul Wong raised his hands with a forced smile, but quickly put them down again.
It was clear that the worst had happened for Paul Wong - he was at risk of being eliminated.
Hong Hai looked back at Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang and said, "In my personal opinion, in this competition, Jiuer and Big Fish are tied, and the result of the 500 audience judges is that the two of you are equally capable in this competition."
After a pause, Hong Hai continued, "Out of respect for the two of you for your outstanding performances in this competition, I will not keep you in suspense this time. Haitang, you are the first place, and Shoushou, you are the second place, and the difference between you is only one vote."
After hesitating for a while, Hong Hai still didn't say: "The number of votes you two received is much higher than that of other competing singers," because he was worried that this would affect the performance of future programs.
After hearing the result of the competition, Yang Xindong and Tian Haitang smiled at each other.
Yang Xindong did not have any negative emotions because of the loss to Tian Haitang. She did not even think about why she lost to Tian Haitang when she was so much stronger than him. Tian Haitang did not show any happiness because of winning against Yang Xindong. She did not think that she had won because she just did what her husband said. She did not care about winning or losing the game. In fact, she had no interest in such a game. She was just completing the treatment task assigned by her husband.
The two's nonchalant performance left the other contestants speechless: "If I could also secure second place and fight for first place, I could be as graceful as you guys!"
