Chapter 215 "TOP IDOL" in progress 16.0
"What? Increase the real-time popularity ranking points? It's so simple... Ugh!"
Are you sick!!!
The complaint that Wei Liangchen was about to blurt out was suppressed by You Jinzhao with a very skillful method.
At this moment, the groups are making final preparations in the lounge for the upcoming underwater relay race.
Who knew that at the last minute, this damn program team added a rule.
A real-time popularity list has been added, and corresponding points can also be obtained and included in the overall list.
Moreover, this popularity list does not support fan voting. It only gives a limited number of votes. It all depends on the preferences of the audience in the live broadcast room to vote, which greatly increases the randomness and uncontrollability.
This change has greatly disrupted the rhythm of all teams. Originally, the points pattern could be roughly determined based on the underwater and land relay races today, but now it seems that it is still too early!
The groups ranked lower were naturally happy about the chance to make a comeback, while the leading MYST7 suffered a loss.
Xie Qingyu rubbed his solar plexus, and was once again troubled by the platform's unconventional operation.
The rules change every day, and as the team with the highest total points, they are clearly at a disadvantage, which makes people very angry.
In fact, based on his current understanding of Grape TV's usual style, he can probably figure out what it's thinking.
It was simply the last day of the competition, and the platform was not satisfied with the steadily growing viewership, so it wanted to add fuel to the fire.
But the key point is that MYST7 is Grape's own group. Being stabbed in the back like this makes people wonder whether there is an undercover agent from the enemy station infiltrated into the platform.
Not only did each group have different thoughts, but even the audience and fans were blown away by the sudden depth bomb dropped by the program crew.
[If you're sick, get treated! This is outrageous. What does this mean? So, if the group rules aren't yours, you can just change them?!]
[Isn't the Shentuan your own son? This is truly disgusting.]
[We fought so hard to earn a few points in the competition, but you guys treated us like monkeys?]
I want to apologize for mocking the team for being the first choice. They were clearly about to secure victory, but suddenly they cut off the source of their support. They are so selfish and want to sacrifice their own family for the sake of justice.
[The whole internet is cursing, hahahaha, she's just picking out the products, Big Eyes is already a mess!]
[The key is being able to get every group's fans to criticize you, that's quite a feat!]
[You're really crazy, you want to be popular like this, this kind of behavior, this face, you are worthy of being a rotten grape!]
[Hehe, actually I think this is quite interesting. It's like giving us viewers the right to vote and tip. It's very friendly to a person like me who loves fun. I can vote for whoever I like~]
[Gou Dengxi is just trying to drag passersby into this fight, and this wave of verbal abuse is exactly what he wants. Don't be fooled!]
The live broadcast room was filled with anger. In addition to the angry fans, more passers-by who came to watch the fun also flocked in.
Although the platform's move is crude, it is effective. After all, everyone knows their calculations. But even if you know it, you still have to criticize them.
For them, being scolded is nothing. As long as the popularity is high, it doesn't matter if they are a little thick-skinned.
As for whether the rule changes will affect its own boy group, the platform has naturally already made plans.
After careful calculations, we are certain that with their strength they will never disappoint.
Moreover, this real-time popularity score is more about increasing the sense of participation and has limited impact on the overall situation.
This method is exactly the same as the ticket-encouraging tactic of releasing the ranking: it can not only maintain the popularity of the program, but also stimulate idols and fans to work harder. More importantly, it can also help the fans of their own boy group to retain fans, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
It doesn’t matter if the platform is willing to be the bad guy, as long as the cash cow becomes more and more valuable, this wave will make a lot of money!
"Okay, stop it, it's about to start, let's go out and wait."
As the smartest person in the team, Gu Qi naturally saw through the platform's intention at a glance.
But even though I see through it, I can't suppress the unhappiness in my heart.
After Xie Qingyu checked that her swimsuit was okay, she followed her teammates out.
The swimming pool is located in another channel. He, Gu Yan, Bai Lang and Wei Liangchen who are participating in the underwater relay need to temporarily separate from Leo and the other two and enter through an exclusive channel.
The passages for the men's and women's groups were separate, and they had no way of knowing what was going on with the women's group.
But just looking at the boys' group... ahem, the competition is quite "fierce".
Xie Qingyu stood in the waiting area at the entrance of the passage, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the men with abdominal muscles of different skin colors.
Comparing it with the tightly wrapped look of their own team, one has to sigh that everyone is really "trying their best" for the so-called popularity points.
"Why do they all have it?"
Wei Liangchen leaned close to Xie Qingyu's ear and whispered "Crickets" sourly, his face full of envy and jealousy.
If he had the conditions, he would definitely get back at the team.
Xie Qingyu raised her hand to cover her lips, turned her gaze to Wei Qianze who was nodding at them, and said in a low voice:
"Look, aren't Teacher Wei and the others dressed warmly? Don't panic!"
They are not in a hurry because they have a clear advantage in points, and the Eclipse team is so calm because they are fully confident in their popularity and fame.
"Benefactor~ Do you have any?"
Wei Liangchen's eyes rolled around and he glanced down with ill intent, causing Gu Yan and Bai Lang to cast inquiring glances at him.
Not to mention the sights from other groups around, either openly or covertly.
Xie Qingyu held his head calmly, smiling brightly, "You really want to know that?"
Wei Liangchen keenly sensed the danger and shuddered, shaking his head like a rattle: "I... I don't really want to know!"
Seeing him look so cowardly, Xie Qingyu couldn't help laughing. She hooked her finger to signal him to come closer, pretending to reveal a secret.
Wei Liangchen's expression changed instantly, the frightened expression disappeared, and he came closer with shining eyes.
Bai Lang and Gu Zheng also turned their heads unconsciously, and even many other idols around them pricked up their ears.
Although there were people wearing swimsuits at the scene, Xie Qingyu was the only one who was wrapped tightly from neck to ankles and didn't give any fans any benefits.
But the more it is wrapped like this, the more curious it becomes. Is this acceptable?
Xie Qingyu saw so many people taking the bait and falling into the trap, and couldn't help but smile: "Hey~ I won't tell you~"
Faced with Wei Liangchen's eyes that dimmed instantly and the disappointed sighs from the people around him, Xie Qingyu finally nodded helplessly.
“Then can I apply for…”
"Can't!!!"
Seeing Wei Liangchen's expectant and shy look, rubbing his paws, Xie Qingyu knew what he was going to say without thinking, and interrupted him immediately and firmly.
He does, but...
Don’t look at it! Don’t think about it! Don’t touch it!
I don’t know when Wei Liangchen developed this bad habit.
I always feel that as long as I give him an application, I can do whatever I want!
Facing Wei Liangchen's persistent offensive, Xie Qingyu remained unmoved and just calmly reminded:
"Getting ready for your appearance, you want your fans to see you like this?"
Seeing that his attitude was as firm as a rock, Wei Liangchen knew that he could not pry it open, so he had to let go of his claws on Xie Qingyu's shoulders in disappointment and sighed exaggeratedly.
This pitiful look was naturally pretended for Xie Qingyu to see, but Xie Qingyu pretended not to see it and cast his eyes directly on the Aether four-member team who were already standing on the disc at the entrance of the passage.
According to the current total points ranking, the order of appearance is from low to high, and their group is scheduled to appear last.
Perhaps the audience really felt the contestants' desire for popularity points, or perhaps it was for other reasons. Although only half of the members of the Aether team showed their abdominal muscles, as soon as they appeared, screams like thunder and lightning came roaring.
The other teams queuing behind looked at each other in surprise. They didn’t expect the effect to be so amazing.
Even Eclipse captain Ange and rapper Shan Bei took off their tops at Wei Qianze's instigation.
I have to say that anyone who dares to take off their clothes so quickly must have a good figure, and these two are no exception.
Looking around, each team has at least one or two people with abdominal muscles. Teams like Lunar Tide, where all members have standard abdominal muscles, are even more eye-catching. The fans of this group are really too lucky (bushi).
Wei Liangchen was so amazed at what he saw. The dog stalked to Gu Zheng and said, "Captain, our group can't fall behind~"
He looked as flattering as he could be, like a treacherous minister offering slanderous advice. Fortunately, he still had some dignity and said this with his back to the camera.
Gu Yan glanced at him lightly, with a half-smile: "Why, you want to go up?"
"Oh, this is not my turn!"
Wei Liangchen's eyes flickered as he turned to look at Bai Tang, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. "Boss Tang?"
If he really had it, he would have rushed for it long ago. Now he can only regret it. It's all his fault for being greedy. He clearly had it before, but who knows when it disappeared?
You only regret not having abdominal muscles when you need them!
Bai Lang was too lazy to even look at him, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and happened to meet Xie Qingyu's interested gaze.
When their eyes met, Xie Qingyu not only did not dodge, but instead raised the corners of his lips openly.
The next second, Bai Lang nodded directly to Wei Liangchen and Gu Qiong, and took off his upper body swimsuit neatly.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and laughed briefly - is this a case of the real purpose being something else?
Thinking of this, he took off his swimsuit casually. He couldn't appear to be the only one without one.
“Ugh!!!”
Wei Liangchen looked around excitedly. He never expected that his words could have such great power. He was so excited that he leaned against Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu blinked, and it seemed like in just a moment, two more men with abdominal muscles joined the team.
He was a little confused. What plot did Yu Yuzi miss?
Aren’t these two good brothers from the same company?
What's going on here? The tension has suddenly become so intense. The desire to win between men is truly terrifying!
But to be fair, these two players in the team have indeed maintained a perfect figure.
Xie Qingyu thought to himself that his personal aesthetic has always been to prefer well-proportioned lines. Too thin will appear weak, too exaggerated will inevitably look greasy and will also affect the effect of wearing clothes.
The pace of their performance was very fast. There were only six groups in total, and it was their turn in the blink of an eye as the disc turned.
While standing on the disc, Wei Liangchen was still trying to encourage Xie Qingyu to take off his clothes, but Xie Qingyu hit him on the chest as a warning, and he finally behaved himself for a moment.
only……
"Isn't the space over there spacious enough?" Xie Qingyu reminded gently.
As they came from a talent show team, they paid a lot of attention to the positioning. It just so happened that the four of them were the top four, and if they were arranged in order of ranking, they would be Wei Liangchen, Gu Yan, Xie Qingyu, and Bai Yan.
But right now, Xie Qingyu just wanted to escape from this Shura field. In broad daylight, the two people on his left and right were quietly leaning towards him. He felt that he was about to lose his breath.
There's obviously enough space on the disc, so even if they want to show team spirit, there's no need to get so close, right?
One came over, and the other immediately followed. This inexplicable rivalry was really confusing.
Xie Qingyu really wanted to just walk away and let these two fight to their heart's content to see who could squeeze the other!
His words did have some effect. After a look at each other, Gu Yan and Bai Lang finally gave Xie Qingyu some breathing space.
"Benefactor, what did you just say?"
Wei Liangchen came over curiously, but Xie Qingyu's voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.
Come on, there is still one who is not in good condition.
Xie Qingyu smiled and shook his head, sighing in his heart, feeling that his life was miserable!
