"Wait a minute," Lin Xuan'er glanced at the singers on stage and suddenly realized something. "Brother Yang, will there only be 13 of us left this round? Does that mean there are two more people left?"
Tang Yue finally reacted after hearing Lin Xuan'er's words. She had even thought the show was over and couldn't wait to pick up her phone to chat with her friends.
"Yes." Zhou Yiyang smiled. Sure enough, Lin Xuan'er was the first to notice this. "Remember when the show started, it always appeared in the likes list at the bottom of the live broadcast room?"
"Ah," Su Yin hummed, "I thought this list was useless!"
The likes list is different from the first round of voting. It is only available on Moonlight and TikTok. And each user must watch for a full hour to get one vote.
This list, which represents the popularity of the contestants, now also has another function, which is to determine which 6 of the 10 people will advance directly.
The remaining four people were automatically divided into two groups according to their ranking on the likes list.
Before they knew it, there were only four artists left on the stage. Some left, while others advanced. Even though these four people were battle-hardened, they now seemed to have regained the mood of their debut year.
Nervous, frightened, and overwhelmed.
Because the third round is a competition system that none of these singers know about.
It was also Zhou Yiyang's idea, and it is the most dramatic competition system that the audience wants to watch the most.
Their fate will be decided by the 21 singers who advance or are eliminated.
These 21 people will each choose one singer they like from two groups of singers.
“No way?” Wang Xingrui was a little scared when she saw this: “This part is too cruel!”
Su Yin nodded: "Who should I choose? If it were me, I would definitely hesitate."
"Let the captain handle this kind of work." Tang Yue looked at Lin Xuan'er beside her with a sincere look: "Our Xuan'er will definitely know how to handle it."
Lin Xuan'er rolled her eyes helplessly before continuing, "Who said that? Even I would be troubled by it. But the audience will definitely enjoy it."
She just glanced at the barrage, and the audience's enthusiasm was stimulated again by this competition system.
"Hahaha, this is so funny, let's fight!"
"When you artists participated in variety shows before, didn't you love to say you were all great and I liked you all? Now you have to make a choice!"
"Hehe, I love watching you artists having to make choices. It's really fun!"
And when choosing someone, it’s not that simple. You have to stand between the two people, look at the singer you support, and raise his hand.
It can be said that the World Singer Contest, which debuted tonight, instantly aroused the interest of netizens around the world.
After everyone had had enough of all the fun variety shows with no eliminations and full of edited voices and polite remarks, they suddenly became very interested in this talent show that sells itself on authenticity and cruelty.
After this episode was over, Zhou Yiyang took a look at Twitter, which was almost all related to the World Singer Contest.
At that moment, he knew that he had made the right bet on the competition system he adopted, and netizens really still liked this kind of talent show with a stronger sense of tension.
For artists, although participating in such a program is risky, the attention it attracts is simply too great.
Even the eliminated artists gained fans after tonight.
As for the artists who were eliminated in the last round, there were even more off-site news such as writing short essays to satirize their opponents.
In the words of the WeChat message Guan Fei sent to Zhou Yiyang, "Brother Yang, you know, they all say that this World Singer Contest will become the first global hit talent show!"
Tang Yue was extremely happy. The show had only aired one episode, but she didn't expect there would be so much gossip to eat.
Wang Xingrui, who was standing by, glanced at Tang Yue, who was staring at her phone and grinning non-stop, and couldn't help but remind her: "Tangtang, don't you think your smile is too exaggerated?"
Tang Yue exclaimed, "Really? But don't you think it's really fun to see these artists fighting? Some people even said that if it weren't for this guy forming a sister group, she would have been eliminated in the end."
"Have you ever thought about this," Wang Xingrui couldn't help but remind Tang Yue, "We're going to participate too, and we might even choose a team. Once our competition starts, the pace will definitely get even more frantic."
"We'll talk about it later!" Tang Yue raised her lips. "At least these melons are so fun to eat now. Hey, I think Brother Yang is really good. This show is so interesting!"
Compared to the Southeast Asian region, which was busy with the World Singer Contest for a whole week, the domestic entertainment industry calmed down on the second day.
The show is indeed interesting, but it’s a pity that the artists are relatively unfamiliar.
Zhou Yiyang’s latest Weibo post has received over one million replies, all from netizens urging him to move up the release date.
However, Zhou Yiyang simply ignored those replies and called Guan Fei and Bai Yangyu to his office.
"Then you just need to announce the list."
"Then, Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu asked immediately, "is the reservation channel for on-site tickets also open?"
"Yes," Zhou Yiyang nodded. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. We must take the audit seriously. If netizens find out that the audience we've invited are all fans of the same artist, then our program's reputation will be ruined."
Both of them responded seriously.
They all knew that after last night's live broadcast, the World Singer Contest no longer needed promotion.
It can be said that the entire network is looking forward to its domestic premiere.
However, if the three principles of truthfulness, fairness and impartiality of the program rankings are questioned, all the expectations of the program team will immediately turn into intensified abuse.
After seeing the two off, Zhou Yiyang finally looked at his mailbox.
“There are hundreds of companies here, right?”
Zhou Yiyang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The program naming rights, voting naming rights, and online broadcast naming rights of the World Singer Contest had already been sold at sky-high prices.
None are below a billion.
But now there are still too many companies wanting to sponsor the World Singer Contest, even if it is a sponsorship that the host can only read out at the end of each episode.
"But we can't let Jiang Yang read out hundreds of sponsorships by himself. That would be too funny."
Zhou Yiyang was reluctant to spend the money, so he suddenly thought of a solution.
He first closed the private message, and then posted a new Weibo:
"Thank you all for your support and love for the World Singer Contest."
"But the sponsorship from the domestic region is already enough, no more. But there are still vacancies for sponsorship in other regions! If you want to develop overseas, why not change your strategy?"
