Chapter 86: Narrow Victory
After the pleasant song, the judges began a new round of torture.
Among a bunch of songs that are equally good, try to hear the slightest difference.
I have to say that Jiang Qin still admires him very much, she just feels that she is not good enough.
She originally believed that knowing yourself and your enemy would ensure victory in every battle, but as she listened, she began to lose focus.
My mind is full of my own system.
Because she just received another prompt:
[Congratulations to the host for reaching 100 million reputation points. System upgrade is now underway——]
[Unknown error, system upgrade failed, compensation to the host is a gift package. ]
With 100 million reputation points, you can buy many works, including customized clothes and jewelry.
Jiang Qin guessed that it was probably because of this live broadcast.
Any federal citizen with a bit of patriotism would probably support her.
That's why there are suddenly so many more reputation points.
It’s still because big platforms promote faster. Although she has been on the hot search several times before, there are still many people who don’t pay much attention to this information.
It’s different when you go to the Empire to participate in the show. It’s a must-see show for people in the Federation.
Just like the Olympics, there is no need for promotion, and countless people will set their alarms to watch.

late at night.
Those who stayed up all night finally waited for the final score to come out.
One hundred songs are participating in the competition!
The judges have all taken two doses of stimulants. If it weren't for the ticket purchase requirement they signed when buying the tickets, some of the audience would probably have wanted to leave early.
Everyone persevered and finally made it to the end.
There were quite a few excellent songs during this period, but most of them were just mediocre.
The final twenty composers who were eliminated were all from the Ten Thousand Races, but the singers were not eliminated and a hundred were still retained.
It is left for the composers to draw partners.
The two hosts came on stage smiling.
“Although we would like to maintain a certain level of mystery, the results of the program have always been fair, just and open.
So I believe everyone already knows who the top three composers are in this episode.”
“That’s right, now let’s welcome our third composer!
From the Imperial Composer, Mr. Jones!!”
Jones, dressed in a tuxedo, walked onto the stage with a slight smile, and standing next to him was the singer he collaborated with.
"Next, please welcome our second place winner, Mr. Carl, and his partner, Ms. Yue Ji!"
Tsukihime is a queen in the empire who has been famous for seven or eight years. She is 43 years old this year and is a female orc with mermaid genes.
That’s the singer who collaborated with Miss Finland in her debut show.
This time, the song Karl chose was very suitable for her, and his stage performance was also amazing. The only difference between him and Jiang Qin was the number of votes.
What was his disadvantage? He was at a disadvantage because he appeared too late, and some passersby had already voted for Jiang Qin, who appeared first.
So his votes were too few. His score was two points higher than Jiang Qin's, but this could not make up for the difference of tens of millions of votes.
In the end, he lost to Jiang Qin by a small margin.
When the first place was announced, the backstage staff was very considerate and changed the music.
The host's tone rose a few notches. "Finally, please welcome the first place winner of the first elimination round, Ms. Jiang Qin, and her partner, Mr. Sack!!!"
The two men came on stage one after the other, both wearing white shirts, and they did look somewhat similar in appearance.
However, the ginger fans, considering Sack's age and race, were determined not to agree to the marriage.
Until the moment he stepped onto the stage, Sack was still confused.
Oh my god! First place…yes…first place!!!
The federal people and the sea people who watched the live broadcast all night also felt the same sense of unreality as him.
“Is this the first place?”
The people around him were equally incredulous, "Can our sea tribe actually have a seat at the table this year?"
"Oh my god, so Sack is so capable? Then can we get a good ranking this year?"
You know, in order to attract people to participate in the show, the Empire offers quite generous rewards.
For example, the right to purchase some monopoly materials.
"Is it possible that the composer actually deserves more credit?
It’s obvious that the music written by this female composer is very suitable for Sack. If he is matched with a less good composer next time…”
But no matter what, at least this result is better than in previous years, and it can’t be much worse.
Federal netizens also think so.
In the past, the top three were basically divided between the Empire and the Elves, and it was considered good for the Federation to rank seventh or eighth.
Although everyone expected to be first at the beginning, more people thought it might be second!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin was so competitive and actually won first place!
The host, Judith, asked Jiang Qin on stage, "Ms. Jiang, how do you feel about getting first place?"
Jiang Qin is very skilled at this kind of work.
First, I would like to thank the Federation, then thank Tianwen Entertainment, and finally thank the program crew, and then praise my hard-working partners.
He also expressed that he would work hard and would not let his fans down.
Very standard rhetoric.
As rigid as the host's smile.
Lan Yuyan, who had been up all night, couldn't help laughing. Why did he feel like he was being held hostage?
I didn't know and would have thought she had prepared a draft of her thank-you speech in advance.
The top three were interviewed by the host for two or three minutes each.
Except for Jiang Qin and Sack who were smiling sincerely, the smiles of the other two pairs of partners were really forced.
When Karl passed by her while walking off the stage, he snorted coldly: “It’s just the first round. No one has tried their best. Don’t be too proud too soon.”
Jones didn't say anything as he passed by, but he smiled meaningfully.
The excited Sack's excitement cooled down at this time.
Yeah, it’s just the first elimination match.
He might not be so lucky in the second round. If he offended several senior composers of the empire because of the first place, his career as a singer would be really over.
So Sack suppressed his emotions and quietly left the backstage.
He didn't even say goodbye to Jiang Qin, probably because he was afraid that others would think they were close and he would be targeted.
Jiang Qin didn't say anything.
In this program, singers only have the right to perform each song written by each composer once.
If he wants to sing this song again in the future, or wants to upload his own version, he will need to negotiate copyright fees with the composer.
So she didn't care, after all, they probably wouldn't have a second collaboration.
***
Go back to the guest seats and sit down.
The host begins to draw topics.
The second elimination match is from 80 to 50.
Not only will the partner singers be re-drawn in this performance, but there will also be restrictions on the themes of the compositions.
So at this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen on the stage.
