Chapter 43 Rules
"Welcome everyone to the "Pick Me" live broadcast room."
The director's opening remarks were as concise as ever.
He politely greeted the netizens and said, "As I believe everyone knows, the theme of this episode is team performances, and we are fortunate to have invited a thousand audience members to the event."
Upon hearing this, the photographer turned the camera towards the audience.
A thousand spectators were already sitting in the auditorium, holding glow sticks, light boards and other cheering accessories in their hands. When they saw the camera shooting at them, they waved the glow sticks in their hands and greeted the netizens.
[Jealous, why didn’t the production team pick me?]
[Wow, I also want to go see Song Shinian live.]
[Can the production team give me a hand next time? I really want to go see their performance live.]
Congratulations! [gnashing teeth.jpg]
Will the program team hold another lucky draw later? I'm willing to eat a vegetarian diet my whole life and win a prize.
…
After the contestants of "Pick Me" finished forming their teams, the official Weibo account released a link to the lottery.
There are 1,000 winning places in total.
The lucky draw is a benefit prepared by the "Pick Me" program team for the audience. The program team will not only give them free tickets, but also reimburse the audience's round-trip transportation fees.
Shortly after this Weibo post was published, millions of people participated in the lottery, and more than a thousand winners came to the scene today to become temporary judges for the second performance.
The director was very satisfied with the audience's enthusiastic response.
He held the microphone and continued, "During the second performance, these 1,000 audience members will vote as 'representatives'. Each audience member can vote for up to three teams. The team with the highest number of votes will become the first place in the second performance. Regardless of their previous ratings, all members will be promoted to A."
The director carefully explained the voting rules for this episode: "Teachers Song Shinian, Gu Yang, and Jiang Xue will also have voting rights in this episode. Each teacher will hold two signs, one for "yes" and one for "no." If a teacher holds up a "yes" sign, that team will receive 200 votes; if a teacher holds up a "no" sign, that team will receive no votes."
"It is important to emphasize here that each teacher does not have the right to vote for the team he or she leads."
This is not difficult to understand.
For example, as the teacher of Wen Yu's team, Song Shinian will definitely be emotionally biased towards their team. At this time, Song Shinian needs to avoid suspicion to ensure the fairness of the program.
There are 1,000 audience votes in total.
The total number of votes for the two mentors is up to 400.
This means that the maximum number of votes a team can receive is 1,400.
"Next—"
Seeing that all the audience's attention was on him, the director smiled and stretched out his voice: "Please ask the captains of each group to come on stage to draw the performance order."
The order of performances is not fixed.
The director deliberately left the drawing of lots to the second performance stage in order to make the audience feel more involved.
As soon as he finished speaking, a platform rose up on the stage and the trainee representatives appeared on the stage.
Wen Yu is the best looking among the eight trainee representatives.
The spotlight cut a sharp line of light and dark on the boy's profile, and the corners of his thin lips were filled with just the right smile.
Wen Yu looked up at the audience in front of him, raised his hand to adjust the earphone, his black hair hung messily in front of his forehead, and the boy's palms with distinct knuckles opened and closed, as if invisible threads were being plucked in the air.
【Wen Yu! ! ! 】
[Wen Yu, I came here just for you, please don't let me down!]
【How can Wen Yu be so beautiful? 】
[Come on, Wenyu! Mom is rooting for you!!!]
[Come on, Ren Yi! You'll definitely get first place!]
[Hopefully, Wen Yu's team will draw a good order.]
[Is it my imagination? It's only been seven days since we last met, but why do I feel like Wen Yu has become even more beautiful...]
[I think so too!!! Wen Yu is so handsome!]
[I don't understand why you, Wen Yu's fans, are so enthusiastic about a fake...]
[Wen Yu may be eliminated from this episode, so please watch and cherish it.]
…
The audience at the scene burst into shocking screams when they saw the trainees suddenly appear.
The director looked in the direction of the trainees and then waved at them: "Come over and draw lots."
Ren Yi was at the front and was the first person to draw the lot.
He pulled out a piece of paper from the box containing the notes, then slowly unfolded it and faced everyone.
There was only a big "1" on it.
"Congratulations to Ren Yi for drawing the number one."
The director smiled and said, "Your team will be the first to go on stage today..."
"Thanks."
Ren Yi thanked him and put the note back.
The second person to draw the lot was Zhao Ziyue.
The paper he drew was number 4.
This position is neither forward nor backward, but in the middle.
The third person to draw the lot was Wen Yu.
The note he drew was number 8.
There are a total of 8 teams on the second performance stage. Wen Yu drew the number 8, which means that their team is the last one.
After Wen Yu drew the slips of paper, representatives from other teams also drew lots one after another.
…
"Thank you captains for the draw."
The director lowered his eyes and glanced at the watch on his wrist: "There are still ten minutes until the second performance begins."
"In ten minutes, the second performance of 'Pick Me' will officially begin."
…
The director's words gave everyone present a sense of urgency.
The audience in the "pick me" live broadcast room were also discussing the order of the draw.
I don't quite understand the voting rules the director mentioned. Is it better to put the first one in the order or the last one in the order?
I personally think that the order is better in the beginning, because the director mentioned earlier that each person only has a maximum of three voting opportunities. If the audience uses up their voting opportunities early on, wouldn't that be disadvantageous to the teams that come after them?
I think the order of the draw doesn't really matter; what's most important is their performance on stage, right? What if the previous teams don't perform well, and by the time it comes to the last team, they haven't cast their votes yet, and they don't want to waste their votes, so they might just vote for the last team.
[Support, talent is of course more important in talent shows.]
[Do you know how Wen Yu's team is doing with their practice? The production team is doing such a great job keeping this a secret. I'm a little worried about their team's situation...]
[I don't know. There are no slices on Weibo.]
[The cut should be broadcast after the second performance, right? ]
[I'm so nervous, I don't know who will take first place.]
