Chapter 71 First Public Result
In any case, Xu Chichi did go on stage with an injury and persevered through the entire performance.
Even though there had been some minor frictions during the week, by the end of the first leg, attitudes had softened considerably. At that moment, everyone felt a sense of collective team identity, and when the results were announced, everyone was united in their desire for a high score.
What's more, Ren Limeng believes in Shen Xingzhi's various strengths!
Chen Xingzhi hasn't recorded a variety show for a long time. In his first performance, can "Chen Xingzhi's Team" be at the bottom?
But like Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi, he still feels uneasy because elimination is an individual battle.
According to the "unspoken rules" of the first season of "Mountains and Seas", Guan He's team ranked the lowest in terms of popularity and should be the team most likely to produce more eliminated guests, but Guan He's team's stage effect was so good that everyone could see the amazing performance, especially when the program team announced on the broadcast that Guan He's team ranked first in the entire show, even Ren Limeng was stunned for a second.
Personally, she predicted that the first place would be Chen He's team, or...their team.
The production team of "Shan Hai" actually has such courage?
Over the past week, Ren Limeng herself has experienced many twists and turns in front of and behind the camera, and has felt some of the "unspoken rules" of variety shows all the time. She has also personally participated in some games with the program crew, and she simply cannot believe in the fairness and justice of the program crew from the bottom of her heart. But at this moment, the program crew announced the comprehensive ranking: first place Guan He team, second place Chen He team, third place Shen Xingzhi team, fourth place Zheng Chuanbai team.
This is completely consistent with Ren Limeng's personal ranking of the four teams' stage performances, but Ren Limeng only looks at the stage effects. Can a program only consider the stage itself?
Ren Limeng didn't know.
Even though, in the converted vote statistics announced by the program team, Team Chen He and Team Guan He were only one vote apart and won the first round, Ren Limeng was still a little confused.
even......
Ren Limeng couldn't help but wonder if she had overcomplicated "Mountains and Seas" or demonized it.
But from the first meeting during the recording, the program crew's words and actions were consistent with the stereotypes circulated on social media such as Douban, and also consistent with the entertainment channel gossip that was privately circulated on the station.
The program team has always taken good care of big-name artists such as Shen Xingzhi, Chen He and Chen Xi. The ranking of each public stage in the first season of "Shan Hai" is very consistent with the ranking of the guests' status. This is a fact that can be seen with one's own eyes. What went wrong?
Ren Limeng's mind was racing, just like when she encountered a difficult problem in her school days. She tried to find a solution to the problem immediately, or at least sort out the idea behind the problem, and then prescribe the right solution and make timely adjustments.
However, this was Ren Limeng's first time on a variety show. Her extremely lacking reality show experience and hearsay knowledge of the entertainment industry meant that even if she racked her brains, she could not come up with any answer that convinced her.
At this moment, the filming is still going on, and Ren Limeng must remain calm and continue to record the elimination session in front of the camera.
She originally thought that since Mei Shi had not yet appeared at the site, there was no way she would be eliminated.
But now, Ren Limeng's palms unconsciously became cold, her heart was beating loudly, and a strong sense of uneasiness tightly wrapped around her heart like a vine.
Their team ranks third, so there will definitely be elimination spots. How many people will be eliminated?
Could there be...her?
"Don't panic."
In the silent training room, Shen Xingzhi's voice broke the quiet atmosphere that had been there since the team's results were announced. His cold gaze at this moment carried a calming magic. He looked at Xu Chichi, whose face was a little pale, and also at Ren Limeng beside Xu Chichi. Shen Xingzhi said slowly, "We will face it together."
Obviously, Chen Xingzhi was speaking to all the team members, but Ren Limeng always had a strange illusion. She raised her head and met Chen Xingzhi's gaze. His cold eyes carried some imperceptible warmth, which made people feel particularly warm and calm at this moment.
"The failure of this performance is my fault. As the captain, I didn't do well in many areas and dragged everyone down. I'm sorry!"
The person who was most surprised to hear Chen Xingzhi's self-criticism was Li Qingzi. Having worked in the same company for many years, she had the impression that Chen Xingzhi always disdained explanations and didn't care about rankings. Even in front of the camera, Chen Xingzhi always insisted on being himself and did things as he pleased.
Is the magic of "Mountains and Seas" so great? Even Shen Xingzhi's tone was gentle, making it difficult for Li Qingzi not to re-evaluate Shen Xingzhi. However, the recording continued, and she immediately said, "Brother Xingzhi, you are too modest. This week, thanks to your busy schedule, from song selection to solo, we can't do without you!"
"Yes, Brother Xingzhi, I'm sorry. I'm holding everyone back. If our team must be eliminated... then eliminate me. My performance was terrible. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to everyone! I've made everyone work so hard these past two days, and there's still no good result!"
Xu Chichi was in a very low mood. Her lower lip had turned red from biting herself. Even though she tried hard to hold back her tears, Xu Chichi's voice was still full of sadness. She lowered her head and stared at her left leg.
"Sister Chi Chi..."
Ren Limeng reached out and hugged Xu Chichi, "We are all great. It's amazing that you can persevere. There's no need to apologize to us. Just like Brother Xingzhi said, we will face any outcome."
Ren Limeng smiled warmly, and her heart no longer felt the panic and helplessness she had just felt.
Let it be. Since she can't influence the result, whether she is on the elimination list or not, she can only accept it calmly and perform well in every minute of the reality show recording. This is the only thing she can do now.
According to the broadcast requirements of the program team, team leader Shen Xingzhi left the training room alone to get the team elimination results.
According to the rules of the program team, except for the first-place Guan He team who advanced to the second public performance, all other guests will be eliminated by three people according to the audience's love value from low to high. Then the guests in Zheng Chuanbai's team will eliminate one guest again according to the love value. Zheng Chuanbai's team is likely to eliminate more than one guest, but with three teams eliminating three people, it will be difficult for Chen Xingzhi's team to avoid elimination.
Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi's eyes exchanged in the air. They were the guests who understood each other's feelings best at this moment.
Inside the training room, everyone knew that, aside from the small probability of the best outcome where the entire team was safe, the only chance for their team to be eliminated was either one of Ren Limeng or Xu Chichi, or both of them would be eliminated together.
Although Li Qingzi and Yan Baiwei had some nervous expressions on their faces, their eyes were relaxed. They looked at Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi who were clasping their hands, and had already begun to think about their performance in front of the camera after Shen Xingzhi came in.
"Li Meng, let's face this together."
Xu Chichi took a deep breath. She was clearly talking to Ren Limeng, but her tone sounded more like she was cheering herself up. It was like she was trapped in an endless darkness, every second was stretched into endless torment, and she could only wait.
"Sister Chi Chi."
Shen Xingzhi came back with a serious expression on his face. Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi held each other tightly, and their eyes turned to Shen Xingzhi's right hand. No one appreciated Shen Xingzhi's well-defined fingers at this moment. Everyone stared at the black card held between Shen Xingzhi's fingertips. It was very small, but as heavy as a thousand-pound weight.
"Brother Xingzhi, did anyone from our team get eliminated? One or two?"
Yan Baiwei's eyes were anxious, her tone was a bit concerned and reluctant, and everyone subconsciously held their breath as they felt Shen Xingzhi's low aura.
"Xu Chichi, I'm sorry. It's a pity that you have to stop here."
Chen Xingzhi walked up to Ren Limeng and Xu Chichi, stood up straight, looked at Xu Chichi formally, and without giving anyone any time to feel sentimental, he announced directly, stretched out his hands, and solemnly handed the card to Xu Chichi.
Xu Chichi was stunned for half a second, then quickly raised the corner of her mouth. She slowly took the card from Shen Xingzhi's hand and said with pretended strength, "Am I the only one? This is the best result, Li Meng, you stayed! That's great! Okay, everyone, don't feel sad for me. My performance was indeed not very good. Come on!..."
Ren Limeng stared silently at the lines of cold printed words on the black wristband card. Xu Chichi was ranked 18th, just 1 place short, and she was just 1 place short!
Even though she was not eliminated, she did not feel much joy at the moment, but more regret. In her ears were Xu Chichi's forced optimistic farewell words. She had cried many times in the training room and at the rehearsal site in the past two days, but when the moment of elimination came, Xu Chichi was very strong and even smiled for the first time in the past two days.
Even though we knew that she was forcing herself to keep her emotions together more for the camera, everyone was still moved at this moment.
Xu Chichi's performance seemed not so good, but Ren Limeng knew clearly how hard Xu Chichi had worked this week. Even though there had been some unpleasantness between them, when the dust settled after leaving, Ren Limeng still felt a little sad.
Xu Chichi obviously tried so hard and gave everything to stay, but she was stuck at 18th, just one place away from being able to stay.
Hugging Xu Chichi, Ren Limeng sincerely wished her well, "Sister Chichi, we will get better and better, come on!"
Xu Chichi looked into Ren Limeng's sincere eyes and suddenly smiled. The moment they let go of each other, their eyes met, with a tacit understanding that all grudges would be forgotten with a smile. No matter whether their feelings were sincere at the first stop or what they planned in each other's hearts, all their thoughts were thrown away with this smile.
A depressed mood permeated the entire training room. Suddenly, the program team announced the results of the first performance. The rankings and elimination status of all the guests appeared on the TV screen on the wall of the training room.
Ren Limeng looked from the back to the front. Except for Xu Chichi, the other two eliminated guests were from Zheng Chuanbai's team and Chen He's team respectively. They were both bloggers with lower status in the team. It was not until the 14th place that she saw another eliminated guest from Zheng Chuanbai's team - Yue Qian!
This was a result that Ren Limeng had never expected!
