Chapter 123 The third performance ends
What does the extremely small vote difference indicate?
This shows that they are very likely not to get any vote bonus, whether it is the vocal group or the entire audience.
Qiu Haiyun and the others also noticed the problem, their pupils trembling wildly. No way! They had already pushed the atmosphere so high, the "encore" cries were about to overturn the venue, and yet they only missed the mark by 7 votes compared to "Space Escape Plan".
Regardless of fan base, audience preferences are difficult to understand.
The members of the [Shock Wave] team, who received bonus votes from the dance group, hugged each other gently twice. When they saw the votes of the other dance teams, similar surprise appeared on their faces.
At this time, the contestants who were unaware of the truth were still sighing, feeling that the dance group was as excellent as ever. Even though the remaining three teams did not receive any bonuses, they still occupied the front row.
Lu Wei's mind raced. The vote count was highly unlikely, so the result was obvious. She carefully observed the expressions of Jin Youli, Li Enxing, and the others, and noticed a clue that confirmed her suspicions.
Lee Jaehyun smiled knowingly, looking away from his cue card. He looked at the contestants in the audience and said, "The team that received the extra votes in the vocal category is: [Enjoy Yourself]. Let's congratulate them!"
call.........
The heavy stone in Qiu Haiyun and others' chests finally fell to the ground. Their mentality almost shattered into pieces of glass, and there was no way to put it back together.
Lu Wei bit her lower lip lightly and moved her eyes horizontally downwards for a few seconds. Seeing the words [Surprise Party: 493] and [Spring Afternoon: 497], she decisively looked towards the ground. After a while, a close-up shot showed her running away.
The suspense and public opinion made the program team understand the game.
She has been tricked.
Qiu Haiyun glanced around and, seeing that the team members had mostly calmed down, he spoke up, "Thank you so much, everyone! You've all worked so hard during this period. I hope we'll have opportunities to work together in the future."
"Captain, you have worked hard too. It's a pleasure to be your teammate." Sun Congli replied politely. As long as they can win, everything will be fine.
"Yes, the captain has worked hard too. I will keep this memory well." Quan Sharon kept up the pace.
Everyone knows their own business. The winners can certainly shed tears, but their rankings do not allow it. In addition, showing excessive joy will affect the outside world's reputation. After all, the difference in votes is so small.
Song Yuji didn't want to say any useless nonsense, so she stretched out her hand towards Lu Wei.
Lu Wei raised his eyes and naturally touched it with his right hand. After completing a high-five gesture, he touched his hands to his teammates one by one, and simply passed this step.
She could do anything from a vocal agreement to a high five or a gentle hug, depending on what form her teammates wanted to express themselves in. It didn't take much effort, so she was happy to cooperate.
Jin Youli and the others couldn't tell anything from Lu Wei's face, but they could see something from her teammates' faces. Coincidentally, they had just experienced that lingering feeling.
Seeing that time was almost up, Lee Jae-hyun continued with the process. He glanced at the question on the cue card and raised the microphone, saying, "I'd like to ask the players on Team Shock Wave: Do you think you'll come in first place?"
Kim Yoo-ri: “….”
The contestants from the four groups were the first to ask them questions. They didn't really want this honor. However, this question wasn't hers to worry about; it was their captain, Zhao Minxi, who had to consider it.
"I don't know, but I hope so. The team members have worked very hard during this period." Zhao Minxi said a few simple words. She couldn't give any new answers and could only follow the conventional route.
Li Jaehyun smiled and nodded. This contestant hadn't specifically studied Tai Chi, so she was only halfway smooth, lacking a hint of cunning in her words. But that was fine; the audience didn't have to analyze it too closely. She turned her attention to the other team and said, "Contestants from Team Fascination, do you think you'll come in first place?"
Li Enxing couldn't explain why they could win. The cheers from the crowd alone showed the gap between them and the other teams.
After thinking for a moment, Li Enxing said modestly, "I don't know if I can get first place overall, but I'm very grateful that our team can get first place in the all-around category."
The same question was thrown to the rap group. The other losers' votes were close to 500, but they couldn't even touch the edge of 500. When they responded, they were nothing but humble.
When it was Qiu Haiyun's turn to hold the microphone, she displayed her cautiousness to the fullest: "I really want my team to take first place, but everyone is so good, so I'm not too sure about the outcome."
Hearing a series of words like "hope" and "I don't know", the contestants watching were buzzing in their heads. Should they be so cautious? Couldn't it be that I am the best in the world?
Tsk...this show is not exciting at all.
Everyone's answers were based on the actual situation within the team, and nonsense would only occur when someone was crazy.
At the director's signal, Lee Jae-hyun quickly completed the questioning process: "Okay, let's see which team the star recommenders think is the best of the match."
After he finished speaking, the sound of heartbeats, thump~thump~thump~, was heard for the first time at the scene.
The contestants: ""
In other words, is it necessary to create this suspense?
Lu Wei pursed her lips in silence. This was the part she most wanted to skip when watching competitive shows. She drank the mineral water from the music variety show over and over again, and played the heartbeat music over and over again.
Thanks to the contestants' superb expression management skills, the puppets made a comeback. The director waved his hand and helplessly shortened the time for filming the reaction shots.
With a "swish", the big screen began to change.
Four teams with unclear votes climbed from bottom to top until the order of the 12 teams was determined.
1. [Enjoy yourself: 502]
2. Shock wave: 500
3. [Spring Afternoon: 497]
4. [Space Escape Plan: 495]
5. Surprise Party: 493
6. Fascination: 481
7. [ ]
“!!!!!!!!!!!”
The moment the votes came out, the contestants all widened their eyes at the same time. It was too scary. The gap between the top 5 was too small. There were only 9 votes between the first and the fifth. Who would dare to believe it if they told others?
Lu Wei is simply amazing. Her team was the second to last to perform, and even though the audience already knew who would be on the last team to perform, she was still able to lead her team to get the most votes. God knows how much the audience likes her.
Not to mention the audience from the opposing team, passers-by probably helped her, and she was so flattering to her fans that she had everything she wanted.
Study!! It’s worth studying!!
Who says that casual reviews aren't important?! They're definitely important!
Although the two teams were suppressed a lot in votes, considering the reality, around 500 votes is already the best they can do, and they cannot be compared together.
Kim Yoo-ri gritted her teeth calmly, feigning a nonchalant air as she clapped her hands. She was the last to appear, and then lost head-on. No one was to blame.
She did everything she could, and while she only lost by two votes on paper, she was actually much, much worse. Just looking at the team members, their team crushed the next door. It's a shame, as the "Self-Delight" team's third public performance was amazing, and their stage presence was also brilliant.
It’s not unfair to lose, but I do feel unwilling to accept it.
Jiang Yilin and the others sighed inwardly, their hands trembling with excitement. What else could they do? In their past lives, losing amidst wins and losses was the norm, and losing amidst wins and losses was the norm. It was only on this show that they had managed to win briefly a few times.
I don’t want to lose, but I always lose.
Isn't it strange?
Just one step away, two votes away, led to two completely different results.
Qiu Haiyun covered his mouth in surprise, his eyes were red and filled with crystal water droplets.
Sun Congli pulled Quan Sharon to her side and the two hugged each other tightly. They were really happy, their ranking was saved, and Ershun was saved.
Will not be eliminated.
Song Yujie had a big smile on her face. Her choice was right, her decision was right, and she created a very good stage.
Lu Wei glanced at his teammates, his lips curled up slightly. It felt really good to move towards your dream and have every step rewarded.
Now when I think back to the friction that happened during the San Gong practice, I find it a bit cute.
Seeing the surrounding players constantly applauding and congratulating them, Lu Wei blinked quickly at Qiu Haiyun. Qiu Haiyun reacted, broke up the hug between Quan Sharon and Sun Congli, gathered the team members together, and bowed to express his gratitude.
The movements are uniform and look pleasing to the eye.
Li Zaixian smiled and went through the final steps: "Now let's see who are the top three contestants in terms of individual votes for the third performance."
As soon as the words fell, a familiar pyramid appeared before the contestants, starting with number 55 and moving upwards.
1. [Lu Wei: 260]
2. [Gao Wenyan: 213]
3. [Kim Yoo-ri: 201]
4. [...........]
Lu Wei's name appeared at the top for the first time, and Jin Youli, whose votes were severely split within the team, dropped to third place.
The contestants' eyes swept over the two of them again. It was hard to say whether the fisherman got any benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, but Gao Wenyan had picked up a big bargain.
After the third public performance, nothing could hold Lu Wei back. The top performance vote represented more than just the audience's approval. Counting the group bonus, the overall bonus, and the individual bonus, her name hung high above the rest.
At this point, the third performance ended successfully.
