Chapter 126



Although they have entered the holographic stage, the contestants in [Crossing the Star Sea] are still in a closed state.

There are no mobile phones, no internet, and no one to tell them about the outside world.

——It is such a three-no situation.

They came to power in such a situation where they knew nothing.

Then, he returned to the program crew without knowing anything.

Even after leaving the stage, everyone was still excited when they thought about the packed auditorium, with three people crammed into one seat.

"Is our show really popular out there? How come there are so many viewers? I was so scared when I saw so many people that I almost stopped breathing!"

"It's a holographic stage! If I were a viewer, I would definitely come and watch it!"

"I don't know how many followers I gained on Weibo. Ahhhh, I saw my star sign. It's so shiny!"

The contestants had resumed their daily training, so they waited until the camera was less focused on them, and then gathered together to discuss in low voices, unable to conceal their excitement.

“Shouldn’t the first episode be recorded and broadcast?”

"It seems the first episode has already aired. My parents will definitely be watching in front of the TV!"

"My parents are the same. They might even call all my relatives."

As everyone was chatting, they couldn't help but talk about the fact that "the term for online voting has not yet been determined."

"Why is it taking so long?"

"Yeah, shouldn't it be possible to vote quickly? Isn't it possible to vote online by just clicking on your phone?"

“Ahhhh the online voting hasn’t ended yet, and the stage audience voting hasn’t been announced yet. I’m so nervous.”

"I think the champions of our men's team should go to Tu Zhu and Jin Yuan."

"I felt the same way. When the two of them were dancing on the stage, my eyes almost popped out of my head. How could they be so amazing?"

These younger contestants gathered together and whispered for a while about how envious they were of Tu Zhu and his peers, and then the topic turned to the announcement of the vote count.

"Is the production team deliberately leaving suspense? The kind that deliberately doesn't announce it in order to attract viewers to continue watching."

"I think so. Isn't it usually like this? Audiences want to see the rankings, so they keep following. But the waiting time is too long."

They were criticizing the program team for deliberately delaying the announcement of votes in order to keep the audience in suspense, but they didn't realize that their every word and action had been clearly transmitted to the live broadcast.

The sympathetic audience gathered in the live broadcast room and almost died of laughter.

[Hahahaha, they even sympathize with the audience who will be anxious if they don’t see the vote count]

[It’s so funny, the production team really deliberately kept it a secret, and didn’t even tell the contestants that the voting platform is open online, and anyone with an internet connection can see it]

[So the contestants themselves are the only ones in the world who can’t see the vote count, hahahahaha]

[I laughed my ass off. Last night I saw a guy named Jing Tiangao guessing his own vote count. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, as if he wanted to guess higher. In the end, he guessed 3,000. Even if he voted live, he would have millions of votes hahahaha]

[I really want to know what the contestants' expressions would be if they knew that the real-name votes have exceeded 2.4 billion]

[The production team definitely did it on purpose. During the live broadcast, the screen always focused on the contestants who were guessing the votes. It was so mean, hahahahahaha]

Although people say that the production team is really mean, the audience actually enjoys watching the show.

Just as the contestants guessed, a large number of viewers were looking forward to the program team announcing the vote count.

But what they are looking forward to is: they really want to see the contestants know their real vote counts, and their shocked and unbelievable expressions!!

[I bet someone will be stunned]

[I bet 50 cents! Someone will fall off the stool! ]

[I bet a bag of spicy noodles. When Jin Yuan heard his vote count, his first reaction was disbelief! ]

Netizens have opened the market with great enthusiasm, and the main purpose is to watch the show with laughter.

In such a situation that everyone is looking forward to, the program team is finally going to start announcing the vote counts.

Of course, it's live broadcast.

The mentors took turns to perform, and this time it was An Baixing's turn.

He has always been lively, even as a mentor. Once on stage, he deliberately beat around the bush: "Usually, other program groups report votes from the lowest to the highest, but we at Starry Sea prefer to do something a little different."

"So, we will directly announce the group with the highest number of votes."

The contestants below were indeed panicked by this unconventional move, and the boys and girls became visibly nervous.

But An Baixing deliberately shook the list in his hand: "Of course, will I be the first to announce the champion of this group? You still have to guess."

Sheng Quan sat in the guest seat, smiled and shook his head: "We should sign him up for a variety show, he is naturally good at creating show effects."

Jin Jiu also laughed: "Ever since he knew he would be a mentor, he has been looking forward to this show."

Yan Hui was obviously a little sleepy. He covered his face with his hands and yawned inconspicuously:

"More than looking forward to it, he came to my room last night to practice his speech and didn't go to bed until one or two o'clock. It's been a long time since I stayed up late. I must let him treat us tonight."

Sheng Quan immediately turned around and agreed: "Good idea, let's go out for dinner together after this, let An Baixing treat us, and let him have a good meal."

Xu Man really admired An Baixing's liveliness on stage: "I need a more lively singer to guest star in my next project, and I'll grab him then."

Then, she turned to Jiang Zhen and said, "And your teacher Jiang Zhen, you must come to support us when the time comes."

The project itself belonged to Xingmang, so Jiang Zhen naturally agreed to it.

The mentors and guests above were having a great time and had even started to imagine what to eat in the evening and whether to have a drink.

The contestants on the stage below were so nervous that they dared not breathe, because An Baixing deliberately opened his mouth, then deliberately closed it, and then deliberately opened his mouth again.

It can be said that they have learned the vote announcement process from other talent shows 100%.

Finally, seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted and the camera had captured the contestants' anxious waiting, An Baixing waved his hand:

"First, Jin Yuan!"

On the stage, Jin Yuan from country P has been studying Chinese diligently since joining the program team, and now his Chinese level has improved by leaps and bounds.

When he heard his own name, Jin Yuan's heart trembled suddenly, even though he was already a well-known idol with a mature career in his own country.

He, he was actually in the group with the highest number of votes—

Before coming to China, Jin Yuan would certainly be confident that he could win the championship, but when he arrived at the program crew and saw so many excellent contestants who were impeccable in every aspect, he actually felt insecure.

Especially painted bamboo.

Although there are always contestants who think that he and Tu Zhu are equally good in the boy group, Jin Yuan can see that Tu Zhu's stage ability is better than his.

The reason why Jin Yuan wanted to participate in "Crossing the Star Sea" so hard was because he discovered the bottleneck in his career.

Although the idols in P country are more youthful than those in other countries, idols still make a living by singing and dancing.

, when they get a little older, they will naturally be replaced by newcomers.

Jin Yuan doesn't want this to happen. He wants to make progress and keep moving forward.

So he worked very hard to get the opportunity to be on this show.

Only if he succeeds will he be qualified to move on.

But if he fails, he can only return home in disgrace and accept the company's drastic cuts in his original resources.

Jin Yuan nervously walked forward at An Baixing's call. As he walked past other contestants, these new friends all gave him encouragement.

"come on."

“You must have a lot of votes.”

"Damn it!"

Jin Yuan walked up to Tu Zhu and couldn't help but glance at him.

Tu Zhu is really eye-catching. Since coming to this show, he is like a pearl that has been gradually wiped clean of dust, becoming brighter and brighter day by day.

In fact, the two of them had not communicated much, but at this moment, he couldn't help but hope to get Tu Zhu's support.

Fortunately, Tu Zhu, his admired opponent, also smiled a little:

"come on!"

Jin Yuan felt relieved instantly. He nodded heavily: "Thank you!"

He went on stage and took a deep breath nervously.

Fortunately, this time, An Baixing understood his feelings and did not continue to play tricks on him.

He only asked one question: "Contestant Jin Yuan, you once won the championship in a talent show held in Country P and debuted as the center. Do you still remember how many votes you got at that time?"

Jin Yuan held his breath and replied, "Eight million votes."

These eight million votes were the peak of his life.

In country P, this proves that eight million people support him, and it is also one of the important reasons why he can become the top star in country P.

Why did Mr. An ask this? The contestants' information is public, so it's impossible for him not to know that he received 8 million votes.

The reason why Mr. An asked this is that... this time, he got more than eight million votes.

"Okay, now I will announce, contestant Jin Yuan, the number of votes you received from the holographic audience."

In the air ahead, as An Baixing waved his hand, a huge vote counter appeared out of thin air.

Just like that, it continued to rise at a rapid pace.

Finally, it stopped at a number.

An Baixing held the microphone and spoke in a powerful voice: "One hundred and thirty-six hundred and fifty thousand!"

Jin Yuan:!!! He suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Live voting??!

Thirteen million six hundred and fifty thousand? ! ! !

This is live voting!!!

It is actually higher than his previous highest record of online voting.

"Don't celebrate yet."

An Baixing waved his hand again, and another huge vote counter appeared on the right: "As of now, contestant Jin Yuan, your global online vote count is!"

The newly appeared timer started moving quickly again, and this time, it moved faster than the last time.

In just a dozen seconds, the picture was fixed on a number.

Jin Yuan looked at the strings of numbers almost in a trance, his mind going blank.

An Baixing next to him has already reported:

"Two hundred and twenty-four million, six hundred and twenty thousand!!! Congratulations to contestant Jin Yuan!"

——Wow!!!

The whole audience suddenly burst into a huge exclamation.

"Two hundred million?"

"100 million???"

"Two hundred million?! Oh my god!!"

“So many tickets?!!”

Faced with this unimaginable number of votes, the contestants on the stage could hardly control the volume of their voices.

The person involved, Jin Yuan, was even more confused and felt dizzy.

Two hundred million... two hundred million...

This is more than the entire population of country P.

Even the number of votes from the audience that had shocked him just now was only a fraction of the number of votes from the Internet.

He actually, he actually got so many votes.

Jin Yuan had received rigorous training and had always been very good at managing his facial expressions. However, under such a huge impact of 200 million votes at this moment, he completely forgot about managing his facial expressions.

The eyes of this contestant who looked so sparkling almost instantly turned red, and it was hard to tell whether he was excited, happy, or scared.

How afraid he was that all this was just hallucination.

"Yes, how much? Can you tell me again?"

"Two hundred and twenty-four million, six hundred and two hundred thousand!" An Baixing could understand the excitement of this player from country P.

You know, this is real-name voting.

Such data, compared with the number of idol fans in the past, is enough to make him rush directly to the idol throne.

Of course, that shouldn’t be possible now.

Because Jin Yuan is not the champion.

"The next one is Wu Xiangwang."

Wu Xiangwang, who was still shocked by Jin Yuan's 200 million votes, went on stage with a lingering look on his face.

Then, before he could calm down, Instructor An Baixing dropped a bomb on him.

"Contestant Wu Xiangwang, your live audience vote count is 15.3 million."

"Your total number of online votes is: 259,720,000."

Wu Xiangwang: "..."

"I, I, how much am I??"

This Chinese contestant, who was very eloquent and good at singing, was so shocked that he became a stutterer.

An Baixing repeated it again patiently.

In the sky, two huge vote counters were also reminding Wu Xiangwang how much glory he had gained.

So, soon, the stupid player Jin Yuan was joined by an equally stupid player named Wu Xiangwang.

The contestants on the stage have completely forgotten that this is a live broadcast.

They whispered to each other and expressed shock.

"It looks like they are the first and second."

"Who's the third one?"

"Two hundred million votes!"

"But Wu Xiangwang's expressiveness is indeed better than Jin Yuan's."

"The third one is Tuzhu, right?"

“But I think Tu Zhu’s performance was also very good.”

"Maybe he is the first. Obviously the order is from lowest to highest."

After someone said this, other contestants soon disagreed: "How could it be possible? The number of votes is already 500 million. Isn't it said that one person can only cast two votes, one for the male contestant and one for the female contestant?"

"Five hundred million votes have been cast. I guess there aren't many left."

The other contestants thought the same and became excited again: "Our program team actually has 500 million viewers! I have never heard of a talent show that has so many viewers!"

Standing next to Tu Zhu was his roommate, the tall, wheat-skinned Jing Tiangao, who patted his shoulder.

On the stage, the next person An Baixing called was indeed Tu Zhu.

"Tu Zhu, please come forward."

Tu Zhu took a deep breath and, with the encouraging eyes of his friends around him, strode forward.

An Baixing asked him: "Have you ever thought about how many votes you will get?"

Tu Zhu was silent for a second and shook his head slightly.

He hadn't thought about it.

He didn't dare to think about it.

If you have expectations, you will inevitably be disappointed.

Having suffered so much, this young man, who is only eighteen years old, no longer dares to have any expectations.

"Okay, then let me announce it. Contestant Tu Zhu, your audience vote count is: 37,520,000!"

"Your network vote count..."

"—Six hundred and thirty-four million, nine hundred and ninety thousand!!"

“Congratulations to contestant Tu Zhu for winning the championship!!!”

Tu Zhu: “!!!”

Contestants: “!!!!”

After a few seconds of silence, the contestants on the stage burst into loud exclamations.

"Ahhhh!! So cool!!!"

"Six hundred million votes!!! Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!"

"F*ck, wait, can I not swear? Can the live broadcast be censored?!"

"Oh my god!! One person won 600 million votes!! That's 600 million! Oh my god!"

Cheers, sounds of surprise, and discussions, everyone's eyes fell on Tu Zhu.

A beam of light hit Tu Zhu.

He looked up, his eyes sparkling with stars.

The barrage of comments during the live broadcast has gone completely crazy, and is completely covered with "Ahhhhhh this is so good, so good."

"The light shining on his body was indeed dazzling, but I guess his tears were not caused by the light."

Mr. Sheng made the above comments.

Jin Jiu smiled and looked sideways. When he was on the stage, he looked like a mature mentor, but in front of Sheng Quan, he seemed to be the slightly shy boy.

"You were more dazzling than him at the time."

Sheng Quan looked at Tu Zhu, who was radiant on the stage, and found it hard to imagine how he could be more dazzling than such a perfect person.

So she could only conclude that it was the filter of the boss of Jinjiu that was causing the trouble.

The big stars of Starlight have always had a filter for Sheng Quan.

Next, there was a vote counting carnival.

The girl group that lost the rock-paper-scissors game also started counting the votes.

Blue River holds the top spot with 730 million.

Qingtian and PD sat in the second and third place respectively.

Even the contestant with the lowest number of votes has a considerable number of votes.

They did not feel lost for being at the bottom; basically everyone was in a state of ecstasy.

Because these votes can be turned into real fans! These votes are at the bottom of the list in the Star Ocean, but in a medium-sized talent show, they can definitely be ranked in the top three!

The contestants have some understanding of their own level. Relatively speaking, the contestants at the bottom know from the beginning that they cannot compare with other monsters, so most of them have done some psychological preparation.

But they didn't expect that they could still get so many votes! Everyone counted frantically in ecstasy and was shocked to find that the total amount of votes for Guo Xinghai this time was as high as 2.4 billion! Assuming that one audience member can cast one vote for each male and female contestant.

1.2 billion!! More than 1.2 billion people have watched Sea of ​​Stars!

Is all this real? ! ! When the audience who were watching the live broadcast heard the contestants actually asked such questions, they were immediately shocked.

[Of course it is true, I testify, I am alive]

[I am dying of laughter. This is the first time I see contestants doubt whether the audience who voted for them are real people]

[Hahahahahahaha, I can really download this famous scene and watch it several times]

[One more living person, my vote was carefully selected! ]

The barrage of comments was full of memes, but those who had not participated in the Xinghai program were once again regretting it to the core.

But what else can be said at this moment?

I can only comfort myself: "The number of votes doesn't mean anything. Many people vote for fun and may not be able to become fans of the contestants."

Yes, thinking about it this way, the heartache of not having participated in Xinghai was instantly alleviated a lot.

"The number of fans of artists who debuted through talent shows is often inflated and cannot be verified. Even those who have made it through the Star Ocean cannot avoid this problem."

As soon as the person who made the above remarks finished speaking, An Baixing suddenly said in the live broadcast: "Everyone has worked hard and achieved success. Of course, we should celebrate and give some rewards."

"Our President Sheng has specially allocated some rewards from the company. The top ten contestants can all get these rewards."

The fourth-place contestants, who originally thought they had no chance to appear, looked up in surprise.

An Baixing reported it directly.

——"The top ten contestants will be the guests on the next episode of Entertainment Flying."

The players were in disbelief.

"Entertainment Flying! That's the hottest variety show right now!"

"Ahhhh, the entertainment guest spot is very grabbable!!!"

——"The top five contestants, you all have a chance to endorse a brand. The brands are Yuya, Gio..."

They were all big brands, endorsements that the contestants present had never dared to think about before, so naturally there was a commotion among the contestants.

——"The top three contestants will be specially invited to guest star in an idol group in more than a dozen movies that are about to be released or filmed, such as "Carnival Night", "Starry Night Sea", "My Mom", etc., and shoot one or several stage performances as idols."

Contestants: “!!!!”

If the first two rewards are enough to make people envious and exclaim in amazement, then the last one is even more heavyweight.

Why are idols pushed by their companies to film movies? Because filming can give them the greatest exposure!

But the idols’ acting skills are basically not that good, so many of them are scolded while filming.

But! The reward that Guo Xinghai gave to the top three contestants was a direct cameo appearance in the movie!

This not only allows them to showcase what they do best in front of the audience, but also greatly increases the popularity of these contestants in real life.

It also allows some audiences who like idols to choose to support them offline after watching their performances in movies.

After all, these dozen movies, just listening to the first few, are all big productions that have already been confirmed to star big stars! How can the number of viewers be small? ! The most amazing thing about Crossing the Stars is.

The rewards they give to the players are not just simple rewards.

Each one of these is equivalent to giving the contestants an opportunity to move forward. As long as they seize it, they will surely have a smooth future in the entertainment industry.

In an instant, the remaining contestants were inspired to fight. While they were envious, they also secretly decided that they must work harder next time.

Of course, they could have such an idea thanks to An Baixing who added fuel to the fire.

He also did not forget to add: "Oh, by the way, before I went on stage, our Director Sheng quietly told me something."

The camera and lights immediately turned to Sheng Quan. She smiled and waved as a greeting.

An Baixing continued:

"The next holographic stage will be in a month, and by then, half of the people will be eliminated again."

"And the remaining half will have the opportunity to open up a real-life holographic projection stage, and then this stage will be open to real audiences."

"The tentative audience number is 10 million."

--Bang!

The director of a talent show that was also airing, who was sitting on a chair and watching the live broadcast, suddenly fell off his chair.

"Ten million?!!!"

"Is she kidding?! Do you know how many people are 10 million?! Normally concerts can only accommodate a few thousand or tens of thousands of people at most. How can you see the stage with 10 million people?! Besides, is there a venue?!"

After a frantic output, the poor program director who ran into the great god at the same time finally got up with the help of his friends:

"…But think about it, that's Shengquan, maybe she can really find a venue that can accommodate 10 million people."

After speaking to his friend uncertainly, he still found it unbelievable: "But that's 10 million!!"

"Even if there are so many people, where can she put them?! There is no concert venue in the whole country! No! In the whole world, there is no concert venue big enough to accommodate them!!!"

My friend didn't say a word the whole time, he just took out his phone silently.

——is a very competent melon-eater.

After the program director stood firm, he handed over the phone: "I think I should know where she plans to put 10 million people."

Program director: “?”

He took the phone doubtfully, took a look at it, and almost dropped it again.
