Chapter 107 Stop Fighting
"Then what?"
Cheng Xuezhou said to the agency staff on the other end of the phone, "You said so much just now, but you still didn't say--"
"Why in the end, Xia Linxing still got more votes than me!"
It's obvious...it's obvious that when he last contacted the agency, the number of votes Xia Linxing had and his number of votes differed by a whole digit!
That's a single digit! Not a number!
He just didn't believe that Xia Linxing's fans could borrow so many votes just by borrowing votes!
"Oh, this..."
The agency staff sighed.
At first, they had the same reaction as Cheng Xuezhou, thinking that it was impossible for Xia Linxing's fans to borrow so many tickets in such a short time.
They originally thought that Xia Linxing, or Xia Linxing's fans, had secretly hired someone to make fake tickets, and they were planning to report it to the program team.
But after knowing what exactly happened, all the staff... were speechless.
because--
The votes that Xia Linxing gained could only be obtained by Xia Linxing:
Xia Linxing's fans initially only wanted to borrow tickets. Their attention was on Shen Sibai's fans. After all, it was no secret that Xia Linxing had saved Shen Sibai in front of the camera during the live broadcast.
Xia Linxing’s fans think that the grace of “saving his life”… should be able to win some votes… right?
In fact, Shen Sibai’s fans were also very grateful: after hearing about the request of Xia Linxing’s fans, they readily agreed.
It's okay to borrow, but the amount of tickets to borrow still needs to be discussed. After all, Shen Sibai also needs to keep some tickets on his side just in case.
However, when the two fan groups were still discussing, Cheng Xuezhou's fans, who had been keeping an eye on Xia Linxing's fans, immediately took a screenshot of Xia Linxing's fans' discussion in Shen Sibai's entry square and made a mockery when they saw that Xia Linxing's fans were really going to borrow tickets.
Cheng Xuezhou's fans originally just wanted to mock the fans of the two groups for being not that good, as they had to dilly-dally for so long just to borrow a few votes. They also mocked the stinginess of Shen Sibai's fans, as they were so reluctant and hesitant to borrow a few votes.
They originally just wanted to sow discord between the two families, and it would be best if Xia Linxing's fans could not borrow tickets. As a result, somehow, their sarcasm was seen by a marketing account that had nothing to do, and it was immediately forwarded enthusiastically.
As for marketing accounts, as everyone knows, they not only want to create chaos in the world, but also like to start with a picture and make up all the content.
So by the time other people saw the content posted by the marketing account, the situation had already become "Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai's relationship is actually not good (based on the relationship between the fans)", "Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai's intimacy on the show is all fake"... It even evolved into "The CP of 'Bai Ye Linxing' was just created by Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing to increase their popularity, it's pure hype" and so on...
Fans of other trainees were also very happy to see this, especially those fans of trainees who regarded Chen Sibai as their rival. They immediately used their secondary accounts and followed the marketing account to enthusiastically forward the news, wishing that everyone would know about Chen Sibai's failure.
The number of fans who consider Shen Sibai a rival is much larger than Xia Linxing's. So, before the initial marketing account even realized it, the topic of "Bai Ye Linxing is fake" quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches purely on the strength of its popularity.
The CP fans of Bai Ye and Lin Xing, who were originally enjoying themselves in their own circle, were shocked when they saw the trending searches.
What?! My CP is BE?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!
No, who allowed them to BE? !
They rushed into the entry angrily, then learned what had happened and suddenly understood.
What?... So it's just because Xingxing doesn't have enough votes, so he went to borrow from Xiaobai's fans...
You should have said it earlier!
CP fans slapped their thighs and said, "If you're short of tickets, just tell them! They have tickets!"
Many of them are fans of couples and are not professional show fans (not to mention that the only fans usually don't play with them). Therefore, the voting of couple fans is relatively casual, and most of them vote when they remember.
So they still have a lot of votes that have not been cast.
So after learning that the commotion was so big and the marketing accounts were so alarmist, all because of a lack of votes, they immediately rushed into the voting interface and used Xia Linxing's ever-increasing vote count to prove to the onlookers—
Don’t worry, Bai Ye Lin Xing is real!
They will definitely put Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai into the same group!
"Bai Ye Lin Xing" proved they were "real," but the marketing accounts, eager to stir up trouble, weren't going to let it go. They had finally managed to generate a buzz, and they weren't going to let it die.
So, they pulled out "Xingchen Zhaoye" -
"Xing Chen Zhao Ye" is a new CP that emerged when Xia Linxing was on the hot search because of Shura Field. The actual writing method should be "Xing Chen Zhao Ye".
So it is obvious that this is the CP name of Zhao Jian and Xia Linxing.
Now it is suddenly pulled out by marketing accounts to criticize it, saying that "Xing Chen Zhao Ye" is not as good as the next door "Bai Ye Lin Xing". The CP fans of "Xing Chen Zhao Ye" will definitely not be happy about this!
So they also started voting for Xia Linxing.
After all, Zhao Jian has already been confirmed to be in this group, so what they (CP fans) have to do is to get Xia Linxing in as well!
Is there anything better than a couple on the same stage?
So Xia Linxing must be on the same stage with Zhao Jian!
They want to let the fans of "Bai Ye Lin Xing" see what it means to be "the latecomer who wins"!
So what if the CP appeared earlier? So what if "Bai Ye Lin Xing" has more fans than them? If "Bai Ye Lin Xing" is real, how could "Xing Chen Zhao Ye" appear later!
When fans of the "Bai Ye Lin Xing" CP heard this, they were furious!
"Xing Chen Zhao Ye" is obviously a forced couple, especially since "Xing Chen Zhao Ye" was pulled out of the three-person Shura field of Shen Sibai, Zhao Jian and Xia Linxing. How can they compare to "Bai Ye Lin Xing"!
They are "Bai Ye Lin Xing", but at the beginning even the program crew wanted to cut out the shots of Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing in the same frame to prevent the CP from exploding!
Then... the two CP fans started fighting fiercely!
When CP fans start fighting, the marketing accounts are even happier. They spare no effort to promote both sides, and then attract more people to watch the fun.
The amused people looked at the "White Night over the Stars" over here, then looked at the "Stars Sinking into the Sky" over there, then slapped their thighs and shouted, "Stop fighting!"
I'm tired of seeing both of them together...
The Shura field with three people is really interesting!
So stop fighting, we will help you get Xia Linxing into this group!
There are three people in a group, who is close and who is distant...we will know when the time comes!
Then Xia Linxing's votes began to rise rapidly before the deadline, directly squeezing out Cheng Xuezhou, who was originally at the bottom.
At that time, the agency was also overwhelmed by this sudden situation.
They had originally planned to have fans cast all their remaining votes, but they hadn't expected that, in a previous argument with Xia Linxing's fans, the fans had already voted for other trainees in an attempt to squeeze Xia Linxing out. Even the votes that kept Cheng Xuezhou in last place were borrowed later.
Therefore, the agency itself was so busy with the issue of Cheng Xuezhou's votes that it had no time to inform Cheng Xuezhou that there was a problem with the votes.
When the voting closed, with the help of many people, Xia Linxing surpassed Cheng Xuezhou by just over ten votes and ranked last in the group.
After listening to the staff's retelling, Cheng Xuezhou said: "..."
Xia Linxing’s fans…are just as sick as Xia Linxing herself!!!
He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down violently, his face grim: "What should we do now?!"
He lowered his voice and yelled to the other end of the phone: "I didn't choose the song (that I originally planned to choose) this time!"
His fans originally wanted Xia Linxing to become a joke that no group voted for, but now he has become that joke!
He had so many votes, but he was directly "transferred" to a group that was short of people.
The reason why the group is short of people is definitely because the other trainees don't think highly of them. Therefore, the other trainees in this group are also average in ability.
Although it is easier to highlight individual charm in a group with weaker teammates, but in performances... the audience and the mentors first look at the overall performance of the entire group, and then the individual performance of the trainees.
Therefore, the overall strength of this group cannot be compared with the group he originally favored, which included both Zhao Jian and Shen Sibai!
Cheng Xuezhou clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, his face was tense and his teeth were chattering.
If he keeps going like this...if he keeps going like this...his next ranking might really fall below the elimination line! And Xia Linxing is climbing up beautifully by stepping on him!
"Don't worry, don't worry..."
The staff on the other end of the phone heard that Cheng Xuezhou was not in a good mood and quickly spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry too much..."
"It's still unclear whether the trainee (Xia Linxing) who stepped on you to climb up can actually make it."
"Don't forget, this is an idol audition show. The audience is watching... the trainees' abilities."
"Some people may seem to be quite popular, but when it comes time to really show off their skills, their problems will become apparent..."
……Um?
Cheng Xuezhou paused as he was gripping the phone.
Speaking of which...is the next episode about to be aired?
If he guessed correctly, the next episode should be the first performance.
And in the first performance...Xia Linxing seemed to have broken her voice while singing?
It even ranked last in the audience vote.
If you look at it this way...
Cheng Xuezhou finally showed his first smile since the third public performance grouping.
Xia Linxing's happiness won't last long...
…
Xia Linxing is indeed very sad now.
Because after the grouping was completed, System 999 synchronized with him the task he was going to complete next.
This task is very important and is the second node in the emotional development of Shen Sibai and Xie Tinglan in the original novel.
The first node where love sprouted... Xia Linxing had some past events that he didn't want to talk about again, so at this second node of love, Xia Linxing secretly swore: He must not mess it up again!
His mission this time seemed quite simple: before the third performance, he would ruin the clothes that Shen Sibai was going to wear during the performance and make Shen Sibai look bad during the performance.
The reason why it is said to be "simple" is because "Chen Sibai" and "Xia Linxing" in the original book were not in the same group when they were divided into three groups. Therefore, in the original book, "Xia Linxing" had to damage Shen Sibai's clothes before the performance, and even had to seek help from the staff he bribed.
But now, Xia Linxing no longer has this worry. He was inexplicably assigned to the same group as Shen Sibai.
There are so many benefits to being in the same group! Whether it's distributing clothes, fitting clothes, or rehearsing, they all do it together.
By that time, Xia Linxing knew Shen Sibai's movements and arrangements well, not just the back of his hand, but he also had everything under control. Therefore, he had more opportunities to come into contact with Shen Sibai's performance costumes and no longer needed to contact the staff for help.
But this task is simple, but also difficult...it's actually quite difficult.
Because this task is related to an important emotional node between Shen Sibai and Xie Tinglan.
In the original novel, "Xia Linxing" deliberately asked someone to damage Shen Sibai's performance clothes at a node near the rehearsal.
At this time, the trainees were all ready to go on stage, and there were no extra clothes suitable for the shows they were going to perform for Shen Sibai to change into in the dressing room.
Unless Shen Sibai is willing to go on stage wearing clothes that are inconsistent with the style of the other trainees.
Clothes with inconsistent styles and colors are definitely not allowed to be worn. Even if Shen Sibai agrees, other trainees in the same group will not agree - wouldn't this obviously make Shen Sibai the visual center? - and doing so will also destroy the overall effect of their group's performance, so at this time, Xie Tinglan came on stage!
I don’t know how the original author designed the plot, but at this time, there happened to be a piece of private clothing in Xie Tinglan’s lounge wardrobe that was similar in style to the ones worn by Shen Sibai and his group.
Then the subsequent plot is easy to guess -
Under the jealous eyes of other trainees in the same group, Xie Tinglan took out his private clothes and lent them to Shen Sibai. Shen Sibai then performed the third public performance perfectly.
After the third public performance, Xie Tinglan's fans also recognized that the clothes Shen Sibai wore during the performance were Xie Tinglan's clothes.
At first they just thought it was the same style, but later some "Sherlock Holmes" found out that the clothes were either the same style or the same piece.
Now, the Internet was in an uproar, and the names of Shen Sibai and Xie Tinglan were closely tied together.
"Xia Linxing" failed to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice. Not only did he not cause any trouble to Shen Sibai, but he also made Shen Sibai wear the private clothes of the person "he" likes (Xie Tinglan). The CP of the two became a hit on the Internet.
Therefore, "Xia Linxing"'s dislike for Shen Sibai rose to a new level - this is also the reason why "Xia Linxing" became more and more crazy in the original novel.
After listening to what System 999 relayed, Xia Linxing pulled her curly hair worriedly.
He wasn't worried about how to ruin Shen Sibai's clothes, he was worried about——
How could he make Xie Tinglan take out his private clothes after Shen Sibai’s clothes were destroyed…
After all, with the experience of previous failures, Xia Linxing has already realized the difficulty of these tasks.
Xia Linxing had even foreseen that if Xie Tinglan refused to take out his private clothes at that time, he might have to search Xie Tinglan's closet himself.
Xia Linxing sighed softly: Isn't it said that there is a special attraction between the protagonist CP?
Why did he have to scratch his head and try every possible means to bring the two people together?
