Chapter 52
After the third ranking was announced, there was no time to feel sad about those who left and the ranking that had already been determined. The next thing to feel on the scene was the selection of songs and grouping for the fourth public performance.
After one last performance and ranking, they will face the finals.
The remaining 30 or so trainees were divided into six groups. Each group selected the six names they thought would be most suitable for captain. The person with the most votes was elected. The captains would draw their team members from a capsule toy machine based on the ranking.
A grouping that depends solely on luck.
The top six players didn't completely dominate the captaincy; at times like these, some seemingly reliable, strong, but somewhat underwhelming players were often recognized in the voting. However, Jiang Shiyu and Zheng Yanye, who had long held the top two spots, weren't left out.
Zheng Yan was also the first to draw his team member. The names of the students were written on each ball in the gashapon machine. He twisted five balls at once before starting to open the lucky ones who came to his team.
His luck cannot be said to be bad. The sixth and eighth place are both on his team, but at the same time, the two people at the end are also on his side, and there is also one in the middle circle.
It can be said that popular contestants gather together, or it can be said that they lead people to alleviate poverty.
A decent team.
Zheng Yan finished announcing his name and handed the camera to the next person. Jiang Shiyu always stayed away from this kind of luck-based game. He even waited until the last minute to draw the crystal in King of Glory.
This gameplay is not friendly to him.
After he twisted one out, he immediately opened it. The first two people who came out were the last ones, but when these two saw that they could get the upper hand, they smiled brightly.
It was really hard to carry a plane by oneself. Jiang Shiyu found it difficult to laugh. He licked his lips and reached out to the capsule machine again.
The third gacha, luck still didn't favor him.
He opened three consecutive closing choruses, significantly reducing the pressure on others. Ultimately, a performance is a team battle; how could one person's popularity easily drive the entire group to success?
Jiang Shiyu gave up and took the fourth one, which was better than the previous one, but not much. After all, the lower circles were almost all taken by the first two.
Zheng Yan also had to agree with him on this matter, Jiang Shiyu smiled bitterly in his heart.
But Zheng Yan also had two other people in the upper circle with him, and he was the one who only shared the hardships and did not get any sweetness.
There is one last possibility that could change the situation. Even the host is curious: "Who will be the last lucky person to join Jiang Shiyu's team?"
Jiang Shiyu secretly glanced at the others' expressions. His group had gone from being the most popular to being considered the "don't pick me" group. The essence of a performance was still a competition of group popularity; a single performer was far more difficult than a group of performers.
His group is now in hard mode.
There was one last chance to change the situation, but Jiang Shiyu stood in front of the capsule toy machine and was hesitant to take action.
The host laughed and said, "Do you want to absorb some of Zheng Yanye's energy again?"
Zheng Yan also followed his words and moved closer to Jiang Shiyu. Their two heads were put together in front of the capsule toy machine, and from the back they formed a heart shape.
He turned to Jiang Shiyu and said, "I'll give you some lucky power."
Jiang Shiyu's hand was about to touch the knob of the gashapon machine, but he suddenly pulled it back. He winked at the other head and said, "Then you help me draw it."
Zheng Yanye: "You trust me so much?"
"Yes." Jiang Shiyu stepped back slightly, giving him his seat, and smiled, "I believe Brother Yan Ye will not let me down."
Brother Yan Ye.
Zheng Yan was also tickled by the upturned ending tone of the sentence. Jiang Shiyu would only act like this when he needed something from him.
For example, when he kissed me until I couldn't breathe, my eyes were wet and I begged him to stop in a low voice.
For example, now, I cunningly throw this hot potato to him, and look forward to seeing how he will take this unopened capsule.
"Okay." Zheng Yan also turned the button, and his slender knuckles neatly opened the ball that popped out, and pinched the thin piece of paper inside.
It’s Lu Qin who ranks seventh.
He raised the name tag in his hand towards Jiang Shiyu and said meaningfully, "It seems I'm lucky. I can always meet your requirements exactly."
"How are you going to thank me, Xiaoyu?"
Jiang Shiyu's ears turned red again. Zheng Yanye definitely didn't mean for him to cover his mouth with the microphone in shock and then rush over to hug him. This guy probably wanted something more than just exaggerated performances in front of the camera.
Preferably a kiss.
*
The arrangement of this performance is different from previous ones. The program team only arranges groups. A limited-time voting channel will be opened immediately after the live broadcast, and fans will decide the performance repertoire within 24 hours.
Time is running out, and fans from all teams have been waiting in front of the screen early. After watching the draw, some are happy while others are sad. Fans of the students in the same group have no time to care about the past grudges and hatreds. Even the opponents on the blacklist will be released with gritted teeth, and they will say, "Baby, let's plan it together."
In fact, my teeth are about to break.
Judging from the overall grouping results, Zheng Yan is also the luckiest one. With three popular lines in the upper circle, even if there are two contestants at the bottom, they can all stay in the fourth performance stage. These people's fans are also powerful.
The other groups were evenly distributed in the middle circle, but Jiang Shiyu's group was at the other extreme. There were very few popular contestants, and two people had to tow four planes.
As soon as the grouping results came out, fans who were not in the same group began to undercurrent. It was a consensus among fans that big names could not be posted on Weibo Square, but the hidden meanings and sarcasm were a gray area that no one could control. This kind of friction was more common among fans of the more popular contestants. Everyone had the ability, so why did you have such a good time being number one?
The fan clubs of the captains were in close contact with each other before the voting began. Money should be spent wisely. After all, the more worthy battle is the ranking voting. There is no need to spend too much on this suddenly opened limited-time single chain. It is obviously the best solution for everyone to distribute the songs harmoniously.
But some people just want to make things difficult for each other.
The order in which the fan clubs spoke also reflected their rankings. After all, fans follow the main character, and the main character's glory is the fans' face. The head of Jiang Shiyu's fan club silently chanted the mantra of calmness three times before clicking on the contact information of Zheng Yanye's fans. The first message was met with a bright red exclamation mark.
Five minutes later, the two laughed awkwardly at each other in front of the chat box for a long time, and finally started to get to the point. Yusi unanimously chose an English song with a catchy and cheerful melody. They wanted to politely inform the other party not to bump into them, but they didn't expect the other party to be so polite and just put a question mark.
Zheng Yanye Fan Club: We also like this song~
Two smiling happy emoticons are added after the tilde.
As expected of fans following the main character, fans on both sides also like the other side's things.
Jiang Shiyu Fan Club: So you don’t plan to change?
The other party replied after a while: Why do we have to switch?
This is considered a breakdown of the negotiations.
At exactly twelve o'clock, as soon as the voting channel was opened, Zheng Yanye's family and Jiang Shiyu's family all set their sights on the same song. After competing with each other, they managed to surpass the next family by several times.
Under financial pressure, the relationship between the two fan groups is even more fragile.
I don’t know which account first posted the sentence “Is luck number one also number one?” and then someone retweeted it with the abbreviation zyy. Zheng Yanye’s fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed in, and another world war of new and old grudges began.
By the time Zheng Yan returned to the room and got his phone, the fans were already making so much noise that they had lost all sense of purpose.
After he understood the situation, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons. The overall style of this song was not very compatible with Jiang Shiyu's group. In addition, Jiang Shiyu used this style during the third public performance. This time, he should obviously change and challenge different songs to show his diverse charm.
He carefully considered his words and prepared to discuss with Jiang Shiyu's fan club how to end the situation.
Zheng Yan also carefully worded a short essay that was meaningful and sincere. He felt that his essay was well-organized and detailed, and would definitely convince Jiang Shiyu's other fans. After pressing the send button, he got up and went to take a shower, intending to see how things progressed after he was done.
If Zheng Yan knew that his essay would be screenshotted and ridiculed by countless groups, and would even be exposed to pieces in the end, he would definitely hold back his hand from clicking the send button.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
