"Fuck, after being eliminated, I don't even have the right to speak!" The students obviously couldn't accept such a cruel setting.
Zhou Yiyang curled up the corner of his mouth. The reason why 101 became a hit was not only because of the talented contestants, but also because the people in the program team were very knowledgeable.
Normally, this episode, consisting entirely of rankings and speeches, would be the most boring. However, the production team took a different approach, first taunting the trainees, satisfying the majority of the audience. They then stirred controversy with an extremely cruel competition format, further adding to the tension.
Even Zhou Yiyang himself didn't realize that he was becoming more and more fond of analyzing the intentions of the program producers.
"Fortunately, the sisters are very popular." Hu Die watched the sad backs of one trainee after another leaving. There were indeed many talented trainees among them. But they were indeed limited in the screen time and could not attract the audience. In the end, they left only a name on this stage that would soon be forgotten.
At the beginning, the trainees were still sad, but as more and more people left, most people's hearts became numb unless the people who left were your good friends.
"No. 72, Gao Wei." When Luo Chen said this name, Su Yin, who was still able to stand steadily, suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Besides the three best friends, Gao Wei is Su Yin's best friend on the show. They are roommates, both like to browse Dilidili and don't like cilantro.
"Gao Wei," Su Yin gritted her teeth, forcing the tears to well up in her eyes, "Weren't you always in the safe zone before?"
Gao Wei was shorter than Su Yin, but she looked much more mature. She reached out and touched Su Yin's head. "Maybe my fans thought I was safe, so they didn't vote for me! It's okay, I can't debut anyway. Now that I'm eliminated, I can cheer for you when I get home!"
"You, don't leave!" Su Yin pouted and grabbed Gao Wei's hand, unwilling to let go.
"Don't worry, I will be the number one president of your fan club from now on! Bye, see you later!" Gao Wei didn't wait for Luo Chen to scold her, she shook her head casually, leaving behind a cool back.
"Huh," Zhou Yiyang sighed, "I wonder if little Su has recovered."
Su Yin was still sad, but the rehearsals before the performance were too tiring. She practiced and slept every day and had no time to be sad.
Although Su Yin participated in the competition with a playful attitude at the beginning, she was also affected by the tense competition atmosphere around her and was pushed forward by an invisible force.
Gao Wei, I will take your share and work hard together!
"The rest of you can breathe a sigh of relief now, because you're safe." After Luo Chen finished speaking, the trainees couldn't rejoice. After all, they were still immersed in the sadness of being eliminated.
"No. 71, Wu Xue, go thank the fans who supported you!"
Zhou Yiyang was watching the show, but his mind was no longer on it.
"Brother Yang, are you sleepy?" Hu Die gently nudged Zhou Yiyang with her elbow.
"Ah, it's okay." Zhou Yiyang came back to his senses: "It's mainly because everyone's speeches were too polite, you know, there were no explosive moments."
Almost everyone thanked their fans, mentors, and parents. People who didn't know would think this was a touching scene for China!
"Do you know why they didn't rank high?" Zhou Yiyang kept the question a secret after seeing many students staring at him like Hu Die.
“Too few shots?”
"Not pretty enough?"
"Didn't you give money to the production team?"
Zhou Yiyang shook his head. "They don't know how to show themselves in limited screen time. Why does the production team give everyone a chance to speak? It's the brothers who attract fans, but in the end, they're all the same old templates. How can they stand out?"
"No. 17, Xiaolei."
Upon hearing the name, Zhou Yiyang immediately looked up. Wasn't this the person chosen by Jiaren for the cover? Honestly, how could someone be chosen by Jiaren for the 17th position?
Xiaolei has a bright and elegant face, and she has a strong aura when she walks onto the stage.
"I don't think I've ever noticed her before." Hu Die whispered, "I looked her up. She's from Taiwan. She's been learning ballet since she was a child. Now she's a sophomore medical student."
A Taiwanese. Zhou Yiyang stroked his chin. Could this be another person chosen by capital? Looking at all the major talent shows, it seems that there are always people from Taiwan among the top ten contestants.
"Hello everyone," Xiaolei said, her accent truly adorable, revealing a Taiwanese native. "I'm Xiaolei. First of all, thank you all for your support. Without you, I'd be nothing but a tiny star. It's you who make me shine. Although I'm only ranked 17th right now, I believe my singing and dancing skills are just as good as Lin Xuaner's. Next time, I'll definitely be in the debut spot!"
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Lin Xuan'er was stunned at the time. She was clearly still talking and laughing with Wang Xingrui, but when she suddenly heard her own name, she thought she had misheard.
She was challenged?
Lin Xuan'er's momentary daze was naturally captured by the camera.
"This woman speaks in such a coquettish voice and has such a high tone!" said a female college student with disgust. She is a fan of Lin Xuaner and is very dissatisfied with Xiaolei's behavior of hitting someone to get money.
"Isn't she afraid of being scolded?" Hu Die still admired Xiaolei's courage. Even she, the former "school bully", would not dare to do this.
"Being scolded is good, it brings her attention. And didn't you say she studied ballet, so she must be quite good. But to start by accusing our Xuan'er is really taking an unconventional approach."
The gossip forum, which was originally calm, finally became lively because of Xiaolei's speech.
But judging by everyone's speeches, they obviously like it.
"Tear it up, and tear it up louder! Who wants to see your sisterly love?"
"She appears to be a good girl, but actually plays big. I love her character!"
"How many internet trolls has this woman hired? They're all just exaggerating. She's trying to boost her status by trying to scam our Xuan'er!"
"There are no water armies, they are just fans of the rival team sneaking up their skirts!"
There is indeed heat, but as to whether this heat brought by the quarrel can be transformed into popularity, it depends on Xiaolei's performance during the performance.
However, Zhou Yiyang didn't know one thing.
"Xuan'er," Xiaolei carefully wiped the sweat and rain from her face with a tissue, "I feel like my part has too few lyrics. I know, Xuan'er, you're worried I won't sing well, but I want more screen time. You won't suppress me because of what I said last time, right?"
Lin Xuan'er bit her lip and took a deep breath before calming herself down. "How could that be? The lyrics were already agreed upon long ago. Wouldn't it be a good idea to change them at the last minute?"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Tang Yue, who had just finished rehearsal, came over.
