The final stage of the Oriental Harvest Cup Farmers' Singer Grand Prix began on July 30th.
The 64 singers selected from the preliminary rounds will compete in the final stage to see who will emerge victorious and who will win the title.
Because the final stage of the competition was to be recorded by Yahe TV and the final championship match was to be broadcast live, a group competition format was adopted.
The sixty-four singers will be divided into eight groups to compete, with the top two from each group advancing to the third stage.
In the third stage, participants will be drawn into pairs for head-to-head battles until a final winner is determined.
The eight group matches will be played over a day, starting with one-on-one duels on the 31st.
The entire competition is expected to last three days, with the final match taking place on the evening of August 1st to determine the final rankings.
This competition was quite fruitful. Some of the contestants really have potential. If Liang Liang owned a record company, he would have signed at least five or six singers. With proper training, these singers could potentially become top-tier artists.
Liu Wen did not express his opinion, but Jin Hao has made it clear that he has his eye on the two singers and that Jinmeng Company is prepared to sign them and train them to focus on the mainland market.
Thus, the farmers' singing competition began.
But to Liang Liang's surprise, things went wrong on the first day of the finals.
The problem wasn't with the participating singers, but with the judges.
The judge who caused the problem was none other than Liang Liang himself.
Someone reported that the farmers' band from Gushan Township was trained by Liang Liang, and that he was acting as both a player and a referee in this competition, which was unfair.
The person who reported him wasn't afraid of retaliation; it wasn't a case of reporting him behind his back, but rather a direct confrontation.
She was the sharp-tongued female judge who was with Liang Liang on the first day of the preliminary rounds.
During the first round of the finals, when the fourth singer was performing, she stood up and started gesturing wildly from the audience.
She was flanked by the group that Liang Liang had replaced.
Bai Lizuo was among them, shaking his head and acting like a cunning strategist.
Liang Liang did not agree to their demands; they were there to retaliate.
Their approach was very reasonable, and they were absolutely right. The Farmers Band was indeed coached by Liang Liang, and they made it to the finals. Liang Liang should indeed recuse himself.
"First, to avoid conflicts of interest and prevent cheating, Liang should no longer serve as a judge. Second, disqualify that band from the competition, because they are already beneficiaries. Their continued participation would be unfair to the other participants, so they must be disqualified, and if necessary, legal action should be taken!" This was the woman's demand.
"His judging qualifications must be revoked!"
"We must resolutely disqualify the peasant band from the competition!"
We demand fairness!
…
Those old guys seemed to be getting very emotional and sentimental.
It's unbelievable, they really managed to stir up the atmosphere in the room.
And some people actually joined in the fun, fawning over him.
For a time, Liang Liang was in a very passive state.
The fourth singer to perform in this group today is not one person, but several people.
That's right! The fourth contestant in this group is the Gaoxing Band.
They had clearly done their homework, and they only launched their attack when the Happy Band came on stage.
For a long time, the members of the Happy Band were completely bewildered; they never expected such a thing to happen.
Therefore, he just stood there blankly on the stage the whole time.
Gao Xing felt that their band seemed to have caused trouble for Liang Liang.
"Judges! Audience members! May I...may I say a few words?"
Gao Xing felt he should say something; at worst, they could just withdraw from the competition, and that would be the end of it. He couldn't cause trouble for Liang Liang.
He was prepared to take the blame upon himself and then withdraw from the competition.
Liu Wen nodded in agreement.
"Distinguished judges! Ladies and gentlemen..."
"We demand fairness, how dare you stand on this stage?"
"Get down! Get down!"
Liang Liang realized that this matter needed to be resolved quickly and decisively; otherwise, even if the matter was resolved, the Gaoxing Band would be greatly affected emotionally, and how could they possibly achieve good results?
Liang Liang stood up, his eyes sweeping across the room with an air of authority, then raised his hands in a gesture for silence.
Liang Liang has no objection to being told he can't be a judge; at worst, he can just sit in the audience and be a spectator, which he'll enjoy.
However, he objected to the disqualification of the Gaoxing Band, and that was also unacceptable.
As for pursuing legal responsibility, that's just bluffing.
"Ma'am! I have no objection to you saying I should recuse myself from being a judge, but you're suggesting disqualifying a peasant band from the competition? That's just making trouble. They made it to the finals based on their real talent."
Liang Liang confronts those who create obstacles directly.
If you want to disqualify someone from the competition, you can't do it without giving a reason; he's not someone who's easily fooled.
"What real ability? He only made it to the finals because of your protection. I strongly demand that they be disqualified!"
Liang Liang sneered, "Auntie, are you mistaken? I'm protecting them? I think you should recall how that band made it to the finals."
"How did you get to the finals? It was all because you colluded with the judges..."
Liu Wenyi slammed his fist on the table and said, "This lady should watch her words. Don't speak recklessly without evidence, or you may face legal consequences."
We did nothing, and this mess was thrown at us; of course, we can't tolerate it.
Liu Wen is the top executive at Pacific Company, and his word is law. He wouldn't be easily framed or falsely accused.
After being rebuked by Liu Wen, the woman named Fang Yuan didn't tone down her words much, but she clearly narrowed the scope of her attacks.
"Then how do you think they made it to the finals?" she countered Liang Liang's question.
"Hehe, I think you guys should take more brain-boosting supplements. How come your memories are so bad? The day of the Happy Farmer Band's preliminary round was the afternoon of the 26th. I think you should be able to recall who the judges were that day?"
Bai Lizuo was startled.
Oh dear, this is like shooting yourself in the foot!
"Aunt Fang! Do you remember who was a judge that day? You're saying the Happy Band got into the finals because of my protection? I clearly remember that I gave them a score of 9.50, while none of the eight judges gave them a score lower than 9.68. The highest score should be that of the old gentleman sitting in the second seat to your right. If I remember correctly, he gave them a score of 9.71. Now let's have a good discussion about who sent the Happy Farmers Band into the finals. Who did this?"
With his final shout, Liang Liang's voice was like a thunderclap.
