After the performance, every member of Cheng Zhi's team performed very well, so when they left the stage, everyone had a good expression on their face.
Chen You wiped the sweat off his face. His face was a little red due to the mixture of excitement and nervousness, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his tone, "What did I say before? We will definitely get 100,000 votes. Hehehe, we are worthy of it!"
Hearing Chen You's words, Le Zhu echoed, "I paid attention to the audience's reaction when I was performing. It sounded much more enthusiastic than Huo Shuhang's team. I think it should be safe."
Cheng Zhi drank a sip of the mineral water handed over by the staff and patted Chen You on the head.
"The results haven't come out yet, don't be too happy too soon."
Chen You covered her head and complained to Cheng Zhi: "You should give yourself some encouragement."
"Hmm." Cheng Zhi tightened the lid in his hand and raised his chin towards the room in front. "Go in and wait for the result."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi walked towards the room with his hands in his pockets.
The room was located in the corridor leading out of the stage, and the two teams of each song would gather there after their performance to see the results together.
Each audience member can cast two votes, one for the team you like more in each stage, this ticket can be cast ten times, once for each song. The other is for your favorite contestant in today's performance, you can only vote once today.
The final voting results will be calculated based on the combined performance of the team and individuals, so it may happen that a team's overall performance is not good, but there is a player who is so popular that he can lead the entire team.
Therefore, when choosing their teammates, some students in Class A, who were not very popular themselves, would tend to choose contestants who were very well-known and talked about, so that their team could gain an advantage in this vote, and then get the 100,000 votes given by the program team to ensure that they would not be eliminated in the first round of voting.
This can be considered a kind of tactic, but Cheng Zhi didn't care about it at the time. He just picked teammates who he liked. Fortunately, he was not wrong. The teammates he liked were very worry-free and hardworking.
Pushing open the door, Cheng Zhi casually glanced at the decoration of the room. It was very simple, with two sofas. Opposite was a TV, which was playing a sponsor's advertisement for the length of time used for watering when calculating scores. There were also several cameras set up next to it, filming the sofas.
Huo Shuhang's team was already sitting on the sofa inside. When they saw Cheng Zhi's team coming in, Huo Shuhang smiled and greeted them.
After Cheng Zhi and his team politely went through the process of greeting each of their teammates on the opposing team, they found their seats and sat down comfortably.
Everyone in the room was silent, staring quietly at the LCD screen in front of them, waiting for the final result of the "evlove" showdown.
There was a sponsor's ad on TV.
For the seventeenth time, the voice came from TV: "Good grandma's laundry detergent makes everything clean!"
Cheng Zhi sat in the corner of the sofa, propped up his head and yawned for the eighth time.
Shen Youzi frowned and complained in a low voice: “Why is it so slow? Is the staff not good at math?”
Hearing Shen You's words, Cheng Zhi also lost a little patience. Just when he lowered his eyes and prepared to close them to rest, he suddenly heard the host's voice coming from the TV.
"Okay, sorry to have kept you waiting. The votes for "evlove" have now been counted. If you are looking forward to it, please shout out loud~"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience shouted the word "looking forward to it" in unison.
Cheng Zhi woke up suddenly and sat up straight to watch TV.
On the screen, the host was still interacting with the audience with a smile on his face, but this time he was particularly patient.
After a few minutes of interaction, when the audience was getting a little impatient, the host began to announce the voting data.
First came the individual voting data of Huo Shuhang's team, with the number of votes appearing in order from least to most. Cheng Zhi glanced casually and found that Huo Shuhang alone had 270,000 votes in this game, and Fang Qiao ranked second with 130,000 votes. Cheng Zhi had no impression of the rest and did not continue to study it.
Chen You complained angrily, "Fang Qiao's dancing wasn't very good, was it? 100,000? He must have earned it by brushing it..."
Inside the room, Huo Shuhang's team opposite was in a huge commotion, each of them looking determined to win.
Le Zhu frowned and asked, "Why are they so happy so early?"
Jiang Shi calmly analyzed: "According to previous data, it is estimated that during the first performance, there will be about 2 million people who will participate in the voting. The total number of individual votes of the opposing team will be 500,000, which already accounts for a quarter of the total votes."
"Isn't that still three quarters?"
Jiang Shi said calmly: "But there are another eighteen teams ahead of us, what are you thinking about?"
Le Zhu exclaimed, "So what you mean is..."
"Well, if our team wants to win this game, we must ensure that the number of individual votes in the team is not too far behind theirs, and also ensure that the number of group votes later is higher than theirs."
After Jiang Shi finished his analysis, the team suddenly fell silent.
Cheng Zhi took over the conversation, "Yes, that's true. It's understandable that they are happy."
"After all, we can't guarantee that there are still 500,000 people who haven't voted for the other candidates ahead of us."
As soon as the words came out, the TV began to simultaneously announce the individual votes of Cheng Zhi's team.
The first name that appeared was Lu Yinbai's, followed by 50,000 tickets.
Jiang Shiyi followed closely behind with also 50,000 votes.
Chen You and Le Zhu followed closely behind, Le Zhu had 60,000 tickets and Chen You had 70,000.
Cheng Zhi narrowed his eyes and estimated in his mind that he shouldn't be too different from Huo Shuhang and the others.
The teammates ahead of him had a total of 230,000 votes.
If Cheng Zhi wants to surpass Huo Shuhang's team, his votes must be 10,000 more than Huo Shuhang's.
Only if Cheng Zhide has 280,000 tickets will he have a better chance of winning the duel and getting the 100,000 tickets given by the program team.
"Okay! Now there's only one contestant left whose voting results haven't been announced. Are you looking forward to it? Are you nervous? Let me see your eager hands—"
Chen You sighed, "Is this host stealing the show so much?"
"Well, it's for the show effect." Cheng Zhi responded to him, feeling a little weak.
Although Cheng Zhidu was confident in his own personal abilities, he was not confident that he could beat Huo Shuhang in terms of popularity.
After all, according to the ranking that Shen You saw on her phone before, Huo Shuhang's votes were more than twice as high as his.
Cheng Zhi was unsure and very annoyed.
So when he heard the host dragging out the time again and again to keep everyone in suspense, he wanted to rush into the TV and ask the host whether it would ever stop.
Just when Cheng Zhi was about to explode, the host suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, now the vote count for the final contestant will be announced!"
After saying that, the host took a step back and motioned for everyone to look at the big screen behind him.
Cheng Zhi's name appeared on the screen, followed by a string of numbers that kept jumping and changing.
Cheng Zhi watched the string of numbers jump from five digits to six digits.
Then it was 19…20…23…24…
When it reaches 260,000, the speed at which the numbers jump gradually slows down.
The entire audience held their breath and stared at the string of numbers motionlessly.
Then suddenly, the number changed to 270,000.
The next second, the numbers behind continued to jump and finally stopped at 275664.
Cheng Zhi took a deep breath and heard the host and the audience screaming in unison.
"Good! Let's all congratulate Cheng Zhi for getting 275,000 votes! He has become the contestant with the highest number of individual votes today!"
Screams rang out all around, and Chen You rushed over, "My baby! You are so successful!"
Cheng Zhi pushed the person away and said, "Speak properly, who is your treasure?"
The rejected Chen You did not give up, but hugged Cheng Zhi tighter, "You are so awesome, you have fought so hard for us..."
Cheng Zhi did not push the person away this time. He let Shen You hug him and smiled at the other teammates who gave him blessing glances, as well as the people on the opposite side.
Well, I specifically skipped Fang Qiao.
The host on TV continued to report the group votes for "evlove". In terms of the group votes, Cheng Zhi was still very confident that he could beat them.
Afterwards, just as Cheng Zhi expected, their team successfully won the victory with an advantage of 30,000 tickets.
After several rounds of cheers, Cheng Zhi and his teammates thanked Huo Shuhang's team, shook hands, and then left the field in order.
After being led out of the room by the staff, everyone was extremely excited and started discussing how to celebrate the victory tonight.
Cheng Zhi listened for a while and occasionally heard a few words like "barbecue", "takeout", "climbing the wall", etc., but he didn't take it seriously.
He told Chen You a few words to go back and have a good rest, then ran to the backstage.
Le Zhu continued, "If you ask me, we should order more of Cheng Zhi's favorite foods... Hey, where are the others?"
Chen You pointed at Cheng Zhi's back as he ran back and replied, "He just told me that his clothes are still with Teacher Song, so he went back to get them first."
Cheng Zhi was actually not sure where Song Baiyi was now, but he felt embarrassed to leave his dirty clothes in Song Baiyi's lounge for too long, so he thought about taking them back as soon as possible so as not to cause too much trouble for Song Baiyi.
After running back a few steps, Cheng Zhi was a little confused. He didn't know whether it would be better to go to the meeting room now or squat in the lounge and wait for Song Baiyi.
There are not many staff members backstage now, and everyone is busy with their own things. Cheng Zhi is walking aimlessly and no one cares about him. He is also embarrassed to disturb the staff and ask them where Song Baiyi is.
After walking two steps, Cheng Zhi saw a toilet. He went in and tidied up his appearance. Only when he was satisfied did he come out of the toilet.
As soon as I went out, I happened to run into a beautiful girl wearing a white dress and a bun coming out of the women's restroom opposite.
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person in front of him was a stranger. He turned his head away and was about to walk out when he was suddenly stopped by the girl.
"Wait a minute, you are Cheng Zhi, right?"
Cheng Zhi turned his head and looked at her, a little confused.
The girl walked towards Cheng Zhi and smiled sweetly, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Jing and I'm your fan."
Cheng Zhi:?
In fact, it is not surprising to see beautifully dressed girls appearing backstage after the first public performance. According to Cheng Zhi's previous experience, such girls are fans of the contestants or mentors, and usually have connections to enter the backstage.
But he didn't expect that the girl was his fan.
Cheng Zhi hummed and said calmly, "Hello."
Xia Jing, who was facing Cheng Zhi for the first time, did not show much excitement. She smiled and said, "It's like this, I like you very much. Can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Yes, sure."
Cheng Zhi agreed very readily. One reason was that he knew that this person was most likely a normal fan and not a stalker fan who snuck in like before. Another reason was that he felt that Xia Jing's attitude was very good and not extreme. These were all normal fan behaviors.
After getting permission, Xia Jing smiled even more happily. She took out a photo and a pen from her bag and handed them to Cheng Zhi.
"Thank you, just sign the photo."
Cheng Zhi lowered his head, took the photo that Xia Jing handed over, took a look at it, and was stunned.
He originally thought that Xia Jing would ask him to sign his selfie, or some Polaroid or peripheral product printed by fans.
But he didn't expect that the photo Xia Jing handed over was printed with a scene of Song Baiyi performing on stage.
And it was a photo from the performance of "evlove", exactly the same as the one Song Baiyi had stuffed in before he went on stage.
Cheng Zhi adjusted his breathing, trying to calm himself down.
"What's wrong?" Xia Jing asked with a smile, "If it's inconvenient, I have other photos."
He shook his head. "No inconvenience."
After saying that, he quickly signed his name on Song Baiyi's photo.
