Chapter 34 The first performance is over
The data on the screen finally stopped jumping, and the overall ranking was about to be announced.
The atmosphere in the waiting room suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on the screen, waiting for the final result.
Xie Qingyu raised his head, patted his cheeks, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
The first thing to be announced is the ranking of the total number of votes for the group, which is still announced from low to high.
When the total number of votes for the last "Starlight Tonight" group, 12, appeared on the screen, there was silence in the waiting room.
The contestants were not surprised at all, and some were even a little surprised that there were still 12 votes.
"12 votes? There are still 12 votes?" Someone couldn't help but sigh softly, "The audience is so tolerant!"
Of course, no one paid attention to the man's expression.
After all, at this time, no one wants to make themselves uncomfortable.
The 14th-ranked group received a total of 117 votes.
Although the number of votes is not high, considering that the competition in this performance is extremely fierce, and with the support of the "Starlight Tonight" group, the members of this group still smiled with satisfaction.
The votes for the following groups gradually increased, but the increase was not significant.
The contestants all had a rough idea in their minds that the majority of the vote pool had been sucked up by the top-ranked groups.
In sixth place, with a total of 495 votes, is Wei Ran's "FIRE BLAZE" group.
Seeing this result, Weiran and his teammates hugged each other excitedly, their faces filled with joy.
Xie Qingyu turned her head and met Wei Ran's gaze.
The two smiled at each other, then looked up at the screen, waiting for the next ranking.
In fifth place overall was a team composed of Class C players, with a total of 521 votes.
They performed a pretty explosive rap song, and their stage performance could only be described as mediocre. However, because they appeared at the front of the order and the audience still had a lot of tickets left, they were more tolerant of their performance.
Next, the competition for the top four officially begins.
The remaining four groups—"Carousel," "Spring and Autumn on the Strings," "Passionate Road," and "Banana Over the Atlantic Coast"—are all standouts in this performance. Each of their performances has its own merits. Who will top the overall vote count and earn the bonus votes?
The fourth place was soon revealed, with a total of 701 votes.
——"Spring and Autumn on the Strings" group.
You Jinzhao stood up and raised his hand to suppress the voices of congratulations around him. His tone was a bit humble: "Don't be so polite, everyone. People in our group are relatively introverted and shy."
Wei Liangchen snorted, his tone teasing: "Shy? I think you're afraid of being praised too much!"
His words caused the other contestants to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the waiting room suddenly became much more relaxed.
The third place is the "Warm Road" group, with a total of 795 votes.
Ding happily pulled the awkward Leo over and hugged him and his teammates.
Although they did not get first place, a high ranking means more exposure and opportunities to increase fans after the show is broadcast, which is what they value most.
The competition between the last two made the atmosphere in the waiting room extremely tense. Some contestants even joked in low voices that they could faintly hear the crackling of lightning in the air.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily glanced back and forth between the "Carousel" group and the "Bananas Over the Atlantic Coast" group.
Is it the "Carousel" group with a larger fan base?
Or the group "Banana Over the Atlantic Coast" that exploded on stage?
Everyone is silently betting in their hearts.
Xie Qingyu looked at the data scrolling rapidly on the screen, silently calculating all the votes that had been announced so far.
After subtracting the number of votes for their own group that they knew in advance in the small room from the remaining vote pool, he curled his lips and already had the answer in his mind.
Sure enough, the screen finally displayed:
The "Banana Over the Atlantic Coast" team won first place in the first performance with a total of 1,459 votes!
The "Carousel" team lost with 1,089 votes and ranked second.
Zhu Xiaojun suddenly jumped up and rushed to Xie Qingyu and hugged him. The other team members also came over and surrounded him, hugging each other excitedly! Their faces were full of joy and pride!
The waiting room instantly erupted in warm applause and cheers.
"That's amazing! Both teams have over a thousand votes, and the total vote pool is only that small!!!"
“Wow wow wow wow!!!”
"I feel like crying, but I have no tears. My total vote count isn't even a fraction of theirs!!!"
"The total votes of the first three groups combined are almost half of the total vote pool!! The market has been drained dry!"
Xie Qingyu stood in the middle. Hearing Zhu Xiaojun's faint sobbing, he raised his hand and gently patted his back.
As he glanced at his teammates, an indescribable sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.
——
On the screen, the total ranking of individual votes began to be announced.
Everyone agrees that the top ten should be concentrated in the first three groups, but no one can say for sure who they will be.
The votes were quickly arranged from low to high, and the lowest number of votes was 0.
"0 votes? Who?" someone couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Oh, what a hot man!"
"If it's a hot man, then it's not surprising."
The vote rankings will be announced starting from the tenth place, and the speed will gradually slow down, leaving plenty of room for everyone's imagination.
Contestants: Wow! That's awesome and thoughtful!
The tenth place is Wen Yan, with a total of 101 votes.
Although the performance at this concert was relatively ordinary, but after all, with the fan base of "Shou A", everyone was not surprised by this result.
Ninth place is Qian Song, with a total of 120 votes.
As a member of the "Banana" group, his votes are not high, but considering the overall high votes of the group, this result is reasonable.
The eighth place is Sun Lele, with a total of 199 votes.
His votes were boosted by the "Banana" group and the additional votes from dance instructor Su Jin.
Seventh place is Wei Liangchen, with a total of 376 votes.
The votes here have already appeared a gap. His high votes are not only due to the bonus of the "Carousel" group, but also because he "has a good reputation".
Sixth place is Leo, with a total of 389 votes.
As the center of the group "Hot Road", his votes were due to the outstanding performance of the group, the first place on the stage, and the additional votes from Rap mentor MCray.
Fifth place is You Jinzhao, with a total of 391 votes.
His votes are because he is the captain of the "Spring and Autumn on the Strings" group, and he also has an additional vote from vocal instructor Li Zhiqiu.
You Jinzhao was happily listening to a contestant next to him quietly labeling the top ten.
Seeing my name appear on the screen, I listened attentively to hear what label he had given me.
What did he hear? How could he have such a high number of votes just because he was the captain? Why didn't the captains of other groups get as many votes as him?
He couldn't accept the fact that his label was "Captain of the "Spring and Autumn on the Strings" group + additional ticket for vocal instructor Li Zhiqiu".
"I've passed, I've passed!! What do you mean by passing? What does it mean to be the leader of the "Spring and Autumn on the Strings" team? Didn't I become famous based on my own strength?"
The contestant was startled by his sudden voice and subconsciously wanted to adjust his glasses frame, but because he was wearing contact lenses for the stage performance, he was unable to touch them.
He smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Then...then I'll change it for you?"
Afraid that he would make a scene, he carefully looked at the other contestants around him.
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by the fourth place that was about to be announced on the screen, he breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and whispered to You Jinzhao to make the changes according to his request.
The contestant lowered his head and whispered, "The opera singing skills of 'Spring and Autumn on the Strings' are outstanding, plus vocal instructor Li Zhiqiu has additional tickets."
Only then did You Jinzhao nodded with satisfaction, added a "pass" to himself, and asked him to continue with the first four.
Fourth place is Wei Ran, with a total of 397 votes.
His votes were thanks to his performance on stage not being affected by his teammates' mistakes, as well as the 100 extra votes from mentor Wei Qianze.
To be honest, Weiran's number of votes is very good, accounting for a considerable proportion of the total votes in the group.
The most important thing is that her performance on the first stage and theme song was not very impressive, but she turned the tide on the live stage this time. The program crew would not cut this shot of Wei Ran for the sake of popularity.
He rose from an inconspicuous corner to this point, surpassing many popular players.
At this moment, many contestants had the same idea in their minds.
"So, the first dark horse of 'Road to Stardom' has appeared?"
The third place is Bai Lang, with a total of 401 votes.
His votes were due to the bonus from the "Banana" group, his personal strength and the fan base before the recording of the show.
Next came the competition for the first place, and the contestants turned their attention to Xie Qingyu and Gu Qiong.
In fact, judging from the performance alone, Xie Qingyu gave people greater surprises and had greater stage control, but as for the voting, everyone knows it's hard to say.
Xie Qingyu smiled faintly. His amateur status in the early stage of the first public performance was still a disadvantage. Popularity needs a process of accumulation, not to mention that there is a highly popular contestant, Mr. Yan, in his team who splits the votes.
Without Lu Chuan's 100 votes, Xie Qingyu's votes were not even as high as his, which shows the concentration of fans at the scene.
After all, telling other people's fans that your performance is better than their idol's is simply a fantasy.
If Bai Lang and Gu Yan came to participate in the program with a solid foundation before the competition and could directly build a house on the original foundation, then he is still in the stage of consolidating the foundation.
but……
Xie Qingyu looked up at the screen. The foundation of the house must be laid well. Building a high-rise building on flat ground will cause too many hidden dangers and it will collapse at the slightest disturbance.
The first public stage is the most important step for him to lay the foundation. Now the effect is good. As long as the stage is broadcast, he can let go.
Gentleness is the underlying quality of his character, but he never denies the ambitious nature hidden in him.
At this moment, the votes for the two places popped up on the screen at the same time.
The second place is Xie Qingyu, with a total of 498 votes
The first place is Gu Qiong, with a total of 502 votes
Um?
Four votes difference?
Although I was a little surprised by the difference in votes, I thought about Xie Qingyu's "monster"-level stage performance, Gu Yan's great vocal strength and the early star value S rating resources.
Adding in the fact that both performances were of high quality, this number of votes is considered...reasonable?
"Alas, I still prefer Xie Qingyu's performance, his stage presence is so amazing!!!" One contestant whispered to his good teammates.
The teammate glanced at him and shook his head secretly. There are so many shots, if you want to praise them, just praise them together. This is not the way to get the shots. Bro, you will easily be attacked by other people's fans if you do this!
No matter how the performance is, if the difference in performance between the other person and the other person is not that big, then the vote goes to the beaver, at least that's the case here.
Look, the clever contestants' reaction and praise group has come online, describing Xie Qingyu and Gu Qi as a strong dragon and a fierce tiger, evenly matched, the two fighting like dragons and tigers, and others being affected!
The exaggerated language made Xie Qingyu chuckle. She turned her gaze and met Gu Qi's. The other's eyes were also smiling. The two nodded to each other, which was considered a perfect ending to these words...
