Chapter 48 First Sequence Release 5.0
After Li Luoqi finished his speech to his "brothers and sisters", the cameraman's lens finally returned to normal.
The players on the field all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just experienced a "torture".
Everyone knew that if they were not careful, the scene just now might be edited into footage by the production team, becoming not only a laughing stock for the audience but also a source of resentment for the contestant's fans.
"Ahem, the eighth place is—"
Qu Qinghuan coughed twice to signal the contestants to at least restrain their grinning expressions.
She glanced across the field, her tone teasing, "He's a well-rounded player."
"Teacher Qu, it seems like you said nothing!" A contestant couldn't help but complain.
Indeed, among the popular contestants, which fan hasn’t called them “Almighty ACE”?
As long as the weaknesses are not too serious, then you must be good at everything. As for whether you are good at everything, it depends on whether there is anyone who can claim it.
Qu Qinghuan smiled and continued to narrow the scope.
"He is ranked in the A-class of the first stage."
The contestants' enthusiasm has been almost exhausted. Among the remaining contestants, how many are not from Class A?
Everyone's expression gradually changed from anticipation to helplessness.
"Teacher, please tell me quickly! This really narrows down the scope! We're almost guessing it right now!"
The brave contestants started to act sarcastic and made exaggerated expressions.
It's like a certain "cut the knife" activity, where you stack dolls in circles but in the end you don't get anything substantial.
Qu Qinghuan was helpless and sighed in his heart: Money is hard to earn, and food is hard to eat.
She has deleted the content on the cue card given to her by the program team again and again, but the weird ideas she planned are more outrageous and exaggerated than the last.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to deal with all this nonsense, so I just read out the name: “He is from “Spring and Autumn on the Strings”——”
The contestants in the audience all turned their eyes to You Jinzhao and Wen Yan.
Both of them are contestants from Class A of the initial stage, and their strength and popularity should not be underestimated.
"Wen Yan!"
The moment Wen Yan heard his name being called out, he felt a little dissatisfied.
No matter how good the eighth place sounds, it has nothing to do with the debut position.
But he knew very well that he must not show it.
Even if you have to force a smile, you have to smile.
Otherwise, if the program crew captures him with a scowl and releases it, not only his fans but even the audience who like him will be unhappy - they worked hard to vote for you, but you are still picky and blame the voters for not working hard?
Give you face???
Wen Yan covered his mouth with his hands, pretending to be so excited that he couldn't speak.
He gave a friendly hug to the contestants who were congratulating him, then walked up to the podium with all his might.
When he reached the middle, he had already prepared his emotions, took a deep breath and said with a choked voice: "I would like to especially thank the fans who voted for me, and also thank the production team for giving me this opportunity, allowing me to come to such a big stage from the cold and damp practice room.
I never thought that there would be so many people willing to like me and support me, I..."
His voice was trembling and his eyes were slightly red, as if he was about to cry at any second.
The contestants in the audience all showed touched expressions, and some even raised their hands to wipe the corners of their eyes.
Xie Qingyu chuckled briefly when he heard Wen Yan's speech.
We're all thousand-year-old foxes, what's the point of playing "Liao Zhai" in front of everyone? Did you ask the company for their opinion before saying the practice room was not good?
Is the company environment really as bad as he said? Will they continue to recruit people?
Moreover, Wen Yan's company is not bad in terms of scale and treatment in the industry, otherwise he would not have been given the chance to "transplant flowers and graft trees" on the first stage. This is obviously a combo of playing the victim to hurt fans.
Although it's not smart, it works wonders on fans who love you.
However, it is best not to use this kind of thing too much. People's hearts cannot withstand repeated consumption. If you don't control the degree, it will easily drive away fans.
Every contestant in the venue knew what Wen Yan was planning.
But they are not the target of the output, so no one would bother to expose it.
On the contrary, everyone had to nod in agreement with emotion.
No way, just use the traffic, it's not shabby~
After Wen Yan finished his "misery-selling" performance, he did not forget to wipe the corners of his eyes when he sat down, as if he was really moved by his own speech.
Only 1-7 places and the final 60 qualifying spots have not been announced.
The first ranking release is coming to an end and the atmosphere is becoming more tense.
"At this moment - about to be announced -" Qu Qinghuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he deleted the long paragraphs of sensational and corny words on the card with his hand without changing his expression.
Is the thought process of planners different from that of normal people?
Have you ever said these words in private? Can you even pronounce them out loud?
“At this moment, we are about to announce the seven contestants who will be ranked in the debut position for the first time.
They will be given more attention from the audience and the pressure that comes with it.
The next announcement is——"
"Number seven is from 'Banana Over the Atlantic Coast'—"
She paused, and then put an asterisk on the next sentence. She had to ask.
Sigh... just bear with it a little longer, it will be another day's salary soon.
"Thank you, contestant Qingyu! Do you think it will be you?"
Xie Qingyu, who was cueed again, smiled helplessly.
I thought that maybe I should give the program team some room to play, otherwise the planners would keep pestering him and always try to dig out explosive points from him.
He has memorized all the lines of dialogue. They are not tired, but Xie Qingyu is tired!
Then……
The moment the camera panned over, Xie Qingyu still smiled gently, his tone calm, "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter at this moment. I'm deeply honored that the audience and fans have sent me here!"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to hear the sound of the planner's heartbreaking.
But there's no way~, he has developed a conditioned reflex in front of the camera, and it's hard for him to control his mouth.
Qu Qinghuan's smile deepened as he continued, "Congratulations, Xie Qingyu, for achieving the excellent result of seventh place in the first ranking release!"
Xie Qingyu stood up with a faint smile.
Leo was so excited that he jumped up first and hugged him, his voice full of excitement: "That's great, that's great, brother, you're seventh!"
He was afraid that Xie Qingyu would feel disappointed, so he enthusiastically gave this ranking more emotional value.
Wei Liangchen stepped forward to pull Leo away, then went up to give Xie Qingyu a hug. He whispered firmly in Xie Qingyu's ear, "It's okay, benefactor. I'll definitely do better next time. My mouth was blessed by the master himself."
Leo glared at Wei Liangchen in dissatisfaction and muttered in a low voice: "He always comes here to interfere."
He walked up to Wei Liangchen and started pulling him, and the two childish guys kept quarreling in low voices.
Gu Qi looked at Xie Qingyu who had finally escaped from the "Pansi Cave" and smiled. He walked forward and gave her a gentle hug of encouragement: "Come on, Xie Qingyu! I'll be waiting for you up ahead!"
Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said with a raised lip: "You don't need to wait, I will catch up! But you must keep up with my pace and don't fall behind."
"If that's the case, I'm looking forward to it!"
Next, Xie Qingyu expressed his gratitude to You Jinzhao and the other contestants who had given him encouragement and whose rankings had not yet been announced.
Bai Lang and Qian Song, who were farther away, just nodded and encouraged him to cheer up.
Xie Qingyu walked towards the podium, politely took the microphone handed to him by Qu Qinghuan, and walked to the center.
"Hello everyone? I'm Xie Qingyu!" Xie Qingyu greeted the camera in front of him with a gentle and confident tone.
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes focused and affectionate, with a gentle smile on his lips.
"First of all, I would like to thank every fan who supports and loves me. Every performance and every progress I make is because of your companionship and trust."
Then, his eyes swept over the members of the "Banana" team one by one, and finally fixed on Zhu Xiaojun who was waving at him frantically.
He then smiled silently and continued, "Secondly, it's us, the members of 'Banana Over the Atlantic Coast'. We rehearse together, work hard together, and overcome difficulties together. Each and every one of you is talented enough, so please have more confidence! The stage we created together will also become my most precious memory!"
Actually, this is almost all he had to say, but in order to prevent people from analyzing this paragraph with a magnifying glass in the future, Xie Qingyu still carefully added a few sentences.
"Of course, it is also inseparable from the guidance of the mentors and the hard work of every staff member of the program team."
"Finally, today's advancement is just a new beginning. There is still a long way to go. I will continue to work hard and constantly improve myself."
His voice was firm enough, and his eyes reflected a bright and dazzling light, which made people unconsciously trust what he said completely.
"No matter how many challenges lie ahead, I will do my best and live up to everyone who supports me. I hope we can continue to walk together in the future and create more beautiful memories together! Thank you everyone!"
After his speech, Qu Qinghuan and the contestants in the audience applauded him.
Some people couldn't help but sigh: "Look at what others say, they speak so well! Why can't I say it? Alas, I only regret not having read enough when I need it!"
"But Xie Qingyu is truly amazing. Even with a 5% deduction of the votes, he still managed to secure the seventh place debut spot. That's simply terrifying!"
"Yeah! I can't believe how many votes he had before!! He should have been in the top three!!!"
"Don't even think about it. No matter what happens, they'll just charge back next time. The top three are just a small matter. There's nothing wrong with aiming for first place!"
"Oh! When can I be like Mr. Xie and give away the votes at will? Jealousy has made me unrecognizable!" A contestant exaggeratedly covered his chest and made a heartbroken expression.
"When did you give me that nickname?" the contestant next to him asked curiously.
"Just now~" the other party answered with a smile, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
After the cameraman opposite gave him an 'OK' gesture, Xie Qingyu could walk towards the "pyramid" stage built by the program team.
As soon as he walked over, Zhu Xiaojun at the bottom came up excitedly and looked even more excited than him.
Xie Qingyu smiled, patted his arm gently, signaling him to calm down, and then walked up.
During this time, he smiled and nodded to Wei Ran and Liu Xiu who greeted him, and then gently hugged Huang Ke, Ding Zai and Sun Lele who rushed over to thank them for their blessings.
Finally, he walked up to the platform and glanced at the top position.
Then he turned and walked towards the seventh chair representing the debut position and sat down steadily.
His expression was exceptionally calm and indifferent.
He won't stop here!
