The trainee who ranked 11th was 16th in the previous episode, which means he has made great progress.
She was very happy when she learned the ranking.
However, the 15th place surprised many people, as it was actually Hong Xiaofei. She was previously at the bottom of the list, and the only reason for her rapid improvement was her performance in the previous episode.
Many people in the bar were applauding:
"Mr. Zhou, you weren't here last week. We were so excited during the performance of 'Love O2O'. I was quite impressed by Hong Xiaofei."
Hong Xiaofei was also confused by the result. After she expressed her gratitude incoherently, she burst into tears with excitement.
The camera swept across Lin Xuan'er and Wang Xingrui, both of them showing their standard smiles, impeccable.
"Now, let me announce the tenth place winner." Luo Chen glanced at the card. "She sang 'Candy-flavored Girl' in last week's performance. Although her group lost, her sweet looks and voice captivated the audience, making her the most popular performer in the group. Congratulations, Ouyang Huanxi."
This is a trainee that Zhou Yiyang and many viewers have never noticed. Looking at her ranking fluctuations along the way, it can be said that she is quite inspiring.
She rose all the way up from the initial ranking of 89th, and this time she jumped to tenth place from 16th last week.
"She seems to be the only trainee left at Red Peach Entertainment." Hu Die's impression of her came from her company. After all, it was a big company.
Superstar Films and Douwa Entertainment, both large companies, have popular contestants like Chu Tianjiao and Xiaolei, but Hongtao Entertainment seems to be having trouble adapting to the 101 program.
"I understand what you mean." Zhou Yiyang smiled, but he wouldn't slander someone without proof. "She's certainly quite capable. Let's see how she performs in the finals!"
Ouyang Huanxi walked onto the stage calmly, his performance clearly a product of professional training. "Thank you to my fans for your continued support. You've saved me. Thank you to my company for nurturing me. I will give it my all in the finals. I want to go one step further!"
"She seems to have chosen the same mentor as Tang Yue," Zhou Yiyang said with a smile, "I remember she was the lead singer, and Tang Yue was the lead dancer."
"Yeah," Hu Die nodded. She liked to browse Group 8 on her phone while watching TV. At this moment, she was attracted by a post: "Brother Yang, this Ouyang Huanxi seems to know the mysterious mentor."
"Oh?" Zhou Yiyang raised an eyebrow. This was interesting. However, by the time this post started gossiping about the relationship between the two based on some clues, it had already been deleted.
Zhou Yiyang shrugged and said to Hu Die, "See? This is the PR of a big company. It's really fast."
Hu Die nodded. After this little episode, Hu Die felt the smell of gunpowder in the finals. The competition was never just on the stage.
The ninth-placed trainee was eighth in the previous episode, but judging from various data (super topic activity, Weibo reposts, comments, and likes, and endorsement revenue), her popularity has been declining, and her actual popularity is probably around 15th now.
"She probably won't make her debut," Zhou Yiyang said to Hu Die with certainty, "her style isn't distinctive, her fans aren't enthusiastic, and the script isn't exciting. Ouyang Huanxi will probably replace her."
"She's the eighth place winner this time, and every performance she performs on stage has been well-received. She's also recognized by our mentors as the best singer."
Zhou Yiyang frowned. Why did this comment sound so familiar?
"Wang Xingrui, congratulations, you have won a total of tickets."
This number of votes is more than 3 million more than the ninth place, which can be said to be a direct gap.
However, for Wang Xingrui, it was a major setback. Both Bai Yueguang's four companions and Chu Tianjiao and the others were surprised.
The bar, which was originally full of laughter and joy, suddenly exploded.
"It's fake, right? How come Ruirui is eighth?"
"Can the group fans please vote for our Ruirui? What if she can't debut?"
"The production team must have done this on purpose, trying to spur us Guardians to spend money. But there's nothing we can do. There are too many variables tomorrow, so we can only give it a try!"
Even Luo Chen himself said, "I'm quite surprised by this result, but that's how competition works. Things change so quickly. Tomorrow's finals, any outcome is possible. So trainees, no matter where you rank now, don't give up."
"Thank you, everyone." Wang Xingrui took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. "This achievement is given to me by my producers, and I'm very grateful. Everyone has always had the impression that I'm cute and contrasting, with good singing skills and a good temper. But I'm actually very ambitious, and I won't be satisfied with this. So tomorrow I'm going to explode!"
Luo Chen then began to announce the seventh place, and the camera switched back and forth between Tian Xiaohua and Xiaolei.
"Seventh place, Xiaolei, you have made great progress
, this time you got the ticket.”
The gap between Xiaolei and Wang Xingrui was minimal, which quieted down some of the fans in the bar. Perhaps they all thought Bai Yueguang and the other four were already a sure thing, so they didn't actively vote, allowing others to take advantage of the situation.
Xiaolei's speech this time was much simpler. After thanking the fans, she hugged Wang Xingrui beside her.
"Sixth place," Luo Chen blinked. "The rankings this round are really up and down. This person has never fallen out of the top five."
For a long time, the top five of 101 can be said to be quite stable. Wang Xingrui failed several times in her attempts, but unexpectedly, there was a change in this episode.
Tian Xiaohua was very confused. She, she actually made it into the top five?
Not necessarily, Tian Xiaohua pinched her hand hard, maybe she is ranked 18th!
"Tang Yue, congratulations, you're sixth in total number of votes."
Zhou Yiyang didn't even hear the last words Luo Chen said, after all, the bar was filled with all kinds of cursing sounds.
"Awesome! The production team is awesome! They put this on the final elimination round!"
"This is clearly forcing us to spend real money. How despicable!"
"Tangtang must be very sad, such a proud person! Woohoo, our Bai Yueguang girls are all so miserable today!"
Zhou Yiyang must have been puzzled, but he wasn't surprised.
He believed that Tang Yue's real popularity was more than that, and she was suppressed in votes.
As for why they did this, it should be that the program team or other companies did not want Bai Yueguang and the other three to debut at high positions.
Although the debut ranking has nothing to do with future development, some big companies still attach great importance to this gimmick.
However, the production team would definitely not destroy their reputation and prevent Bai Yueguang's performers from failing to debut - after all, this result was too fake. However, among the top five, there were probably only two spots for them.
This is the tragedy of small companies.
After the competition, not only Bai Yueguang made his debut, but also Zhou Yiyang and Yiyang Entertainment behind him made their debut.
The road to the future entertainment industry will be far more difficult than a current girl group talent show.
