Chapter 128 The third performance is over
When the big screen finally froze, "Five Phases of Floating Life" - the team's total votes of 2168 votes came into view, and it was the first place without any suspense!
Following closely behind was the familiar little crown next to Xie Qingyu's name, shining with an almost dazzling light under the spotlight.
Everyone's gaze shifted to the right at the same time, and when that number came into view, the air seemed to freeze for a moment—1,726 votes!!!
After a brief silence, the reaction on the scene subtly split into two poles.
Some people seemed to have anticipated this result long ago, and even had a numb feeling of "it's as expected".
The other contestants couldn't help but gasp, and the amplitude of their chest heaving became noticeably more intense.
This number may not seem as shocking as the second one, but a little calculation will reveal its horror.
The total vote pool for this show (including mentor votes) was only 7,500 votes. Even if the 300 vote bonus given to Xie Qingyu by Lu Chuan was deducted, he still received 1,426 votes based on audience votes alone.
This is much higher than the second-ranked group (1,401 votes).
In other words, the audience votes for him alone are enough to crush the total of all the other groups' individually ranked teams.
——This can no longer be described as a "fault", it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Amid the congratulations and applause from the players from other teams around her, Xie Qingyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing the warm smile that everyone was familiar with.
You Jinzhao couldn't hide her excitement, she turned around and hugged him tightly.
Although Xie Qingyu almost sucked up all the votes this time, You Jinzhao's votes hit a new low in three performances.
No, it should be said that except for Xie Qingyu, the votes of the members of the "Five Phases of Floating Life" group generally declined.
But there was no trace of loss on everyone's face, instead they were filled with pure joy.
Except for Huang Ke, the other members all received group bonus votes for the first time.
More importantly, the attention and buzz this stage has brought have long surpassed the value of the votes themselves.
If you are not first, no matter how high the votes are, it will only be a flash in the pan.
And at this moment, the stage they created together is the most precious harvest of the Three Dukes.
We have come this far, and no one's head is just hanging there as a decoration.
The smile in Xie Qingyu's eyes deepened. He hugged You Jinzhao with one hand and gathered all the hesitant teammates together with the other hand.
Then, a few people turned their heads hesitantly to look at Ji Shuran who was standing next to them. She smiled and joined in generously. This was a glory for the entire team!
In the end, Xie Qingyu once again took first place in both individual and group awards on the third performance stage of "Road to Star Dreams", and received a cumulative bonus of 300,000 votes!
The recording of the third public performance has ended here.
All the contestants and female guests stood in front of the main camera, shouting that they wanted to clap the board with the stage manager.
The clapperboard ceremony is an important part of film, television and variety show production. Its main function is to facilitate the synchronization of sound and picture and the arrangement of materials during post-production.
In the past, the script supervisors of the director team would do the clapperboard by themselves, but today they also wanted to do it together.
The cameraman suggested that everyone gather in the center and take a group photo to end today's recording.
"Want a photo?!"
This proposal instantly made the contestants excited.
Leo the puppy was pushing and tugging in the crowd, unable to wait to get close to Xie Qingyu. He wanted to be close to his brother.
The other contestants also looked for their favorite positions, choosing angles to see which side of their face looked best on camera, and even argued about the feng shui of a certain position.
Several female guests standing aside couldn't help laughing. They didn't expect that these two people were even more particular than them. It was really eye-opening.
The stage manager looked at the chaotic scene and finally couldn't help but say, "If you don't stand properly, I'll hit the board!"
What kind of person is he? He is still waiting to get off work. He is not proactive after get off work and has problems with his thinking.
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pressing the pause button. The contestants immediately lined up in an orderly manner. The noisiest ones even blinked their eyes, using expressions to convey the message that "we are the best behaved."
The female guests then smiled and walked to the C position that everyone had specially reserved for them, and Leo also successfully pushed himself next to his brother, but the surroundings were too crowded.
Xie Qingyu now just felt a little short of breathing. There were so many empty seats, why were they all piled up in front of him?
But when he looked around, his eyes were always filled with the expression "⊙ω⊙", which made it hard to blame him.
Never mind, Yu Yuzi is already tired, so leave it like this~ It’s only for a short while anyway~
At this time, the cameraman raised his hand to signal preparation.
In front of the camera, everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles, and they shouted in unison:
"The third performance recording of "Road to Star Dreams"——"
"It ended perfectly!!!"
The shutter clicked, capturing this precious moment filled with laughter and sweat.
——
Because the costumes of "Five Phases of Floating Life" are complicated and gorgeous, and they are ancient costumes.
So among all the groups, they were the last to change their clothes and come to the location designated by the staff to meet up with the main group.
At this moment, the female guests had already left by car. Their filming mission for this supporting role had ended and they did not need to return to the training base.
"Brother, here, here!" Leo's clear voice was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
He immediately recognized the tall figure in the hooded sweatshirt and waved his arms in greeting.
Xie Qingyu raised his eyes when he heard the voice, his amber eyes curved into crescents under the brim of his hat, and he walked towards the source of the sound without hesitation.
He still has the long hair style he had on stage.
Removing the hair extensions is time-consuming and laborious, especially since so many other competitors are waiting.
Xie Qingyu simply asked the makeup artist for a black rubber band and casually tied her hair behind her head.
In order to avoid revealing his new look in advance, he specially chose a thin hooded sweatshirt this morning, and at this moment he pulled up the hood to cover it.
In order to avoid being discovered by sharp-eyed fans, she also put on a mask, which just covered half of her face tightly, and most importantly, it could carefully hide the loose hair around her ears.
Although this is no longer a secret after the performance, it still piques the appetite of the audience and fans in the absence of any confirmed footage.
"Are we about to set off?" Xie Qingyu asked in a low voice close to Leo's ear.
He changed his clothes and hurried over from the locker room, fearing that he would delay the group trip.
Leo knew what his brother meant, and without beating around the bush, he said directly, "No, I came just in time."
Ever since he discovered that this tune had a miraculous effect on his brother, he has been pinching his throat every time he talks to Xie Qingyu. He is a real scheming little dog.
Xie Qingyu nodded slightly, hooked her slender fingers around the edge of the mask and pulled it down.
A pure black mask hung loosely on his chin, revealing his light-colored lips.
He has never liked this feeling of restraint, always feeling that it is difficult to breathe, but as an artist, this is an essential equipment.
Xie Qingyu didn't have to wait too long after arriving. After the staff counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was present, they organized the contestants to leave in batches.
The shuttle vehicle that had been arranged in advance was waiting at the exit of the venue, and everyone could get on the vehicle and return to the training base as soon as they left the venue.
As the competition progresses, there are only 35 players left, and the workload of the staff has been reduced, making the organization much easier.
Although the performance was short, it was almost late at night when the contestants left.
Outside the venue, fans held up flashlights and strobe lights, lighting up the exit as bright as day.
As the contestants walked out one after another, screams broke out one after another.
There were audience members who stayed behind to pick up the contestants after their performances, and there were also loyal fans who were unable to enter the venue but insisted on waiting outside just to see their idols.
As soon as Xie Qingyu appeared, the noise suddenly rose, and the deafening shouts almost drowned out the entire exit.
The isolation line was crowded with people and security was patrolling closely. Fans could only stand outside the line and desperately reach out their hands, but still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could give even the slightest response.
Xie Qingyu sometimes found it quite magical. No matter which world he was in, no matter how tightly he was wrapped up, his fans could always lock onto him accurately, as if they had installed radar, and it was never just one or two people.
"Qingyu wife, thank you for your hard work in performing today!"
"Xie Qingyu, I love you!"
"Baby, can you eat more? Why are you getting thinner every time?"
Catching this sentence amid the noisy cheers, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
There is a kind of thinness called "fans think you are thin". In fact, his figure now is just right. He is no longer the malnourished little poor guy when he first came to the show. He is much healthier and looks better on camera.
He was very close to the car door, but he caught a glimpse of a group of fans gathered together out of the corner of his eye.
They didn't shout or scream, they just looked at him eagerly with burning eyes.
Xie Qingyu's heart softened, and she quietly changed her route. As they passed by each other, her slender fingers gently brushed across their fingertips.
Without waiting for their reaction, he quickly bowed in all directions, turned around with a smile on his face, and got into the car.
——We have to retreat quickly, otherwise the situation will get out of control.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the car, there was an uproar outside.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I touched it!!!" A girl tightly grasped her hand that had just touched Xie Qingyu's fingertips, and spoke incoherently with excitement.
The fans nearby were crying and laughing, and some even started talking nonsense:
"Three years... No! Thirty years without washing your hands!!!"
"Hehehe, my Qingyu wife's fingers are so slippery! But it's too cold, so wear more clothes!!!"
Fans in other regions realized what had happened and collectively wailed and repeated the same words:
“I didn’t touch it! I didn’t touch it!! I didn’t touch it!!!”
"Touch me! Touch me! Touch me! Touch me!!!"
Xie Qingyu walked straight to the last row and sat down.
Leo followed closely behind, looking worriedly at the boiling crowd outside the car, and leaned in closer, lowering his voice: "Brother, isn't this against the rules?"
I was so careful last time when I collected roses, but I was still fined after being photographed. This time, the noise was so loud that the staff must have heard it.
Xie Qingyu took off his mask, put his fingertips on his chin and tapped lightly, a smile in his eyes, but his tone was pretending to be distressed: "Forget it... What should I do now~"
Seeing Leo biting his fingers anxiously, as if he was really racking his brains to find a solution, Xie Qingyu raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly: "Are you stupid? Didn't you see the staff following us?"
They were the last group to come out and were accompanied by staff throughout the process.
If it was really against the rules, it would have been stopped long ago. Since it was not explicitly stopped, it was feasible for Xie Qingyu and was tacitly approved.
Moreover, as he said before, the program team has indeed relaxed the requirements for him now. As long as it does not affect the overall progress of the program, this little interaction is harmless.
Besides, Xie Qingyu had confirmed in advance that the other contestants were almost on the bus, so he dared to be so presumptuous.
Everything is based on the premise of not affecting the work and safety of others.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Leo immediately covered his head and rubbed it against Xie Qingyu, instantly turning into a scammer. "Brother, you hit me too hard! It hurts so, so, so much!!!"
Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow jokingly and said, "You covered it the wrong way round. Wasn't I knocking on the other side?"
Yeah?
Leo immediately changed his hands and howled: "I am confused by the beating, it hurts brother~~~~"
"Oh, I was mistaken. It seems to be over there just now." Xie Qingyu blinked and changed his words with an innocent look on his face.
"Brother, why are you so mean!" If the puppy can't react, there will be something really wrong.
His brother always likes to tease him like this now, so what's wrong with coaxing him a little?
“Hahahaha…” The contestants sitting nearby felt that the fatigue in the car had dissipated a lot after listening to this little drama.
The bus engine roared to life, carrying the group of young people back to the training base.
The flash lights of fans outside the car window still flowed in the night, reflecting the twinkling smiles on everyone's face.
