Chapter 199 Final Ranking Released
The final rankings are about to be announced, and the music prepared by the production team to set the mood finally comes in handy, dragging the anxious contestants and audience into a darker abyss.
The background sound of "Puff... Puff... Puff..." sounded like an external heartbeat. Everyone's breathing rhythm became disordered and their nerves were stretched to the extreme.
In this situation, the tense emotional factor instantly swept the entire venue, using its own attributes to successfully infect everyone.
Lu Wei really wanted to empty his mind, turn on the automatic shielding device, and then turn a deaf ear to the outside world and concentrate on reading the books of sages.
But... no, she can't do this. This is the end of the show and an important moment that countless friends are looking forward to. She can't daydream and be a bystander who has nothing to do with it.
Hold on, hold on, take a deep breath, it's okay.
Lu Wei clenched his palms, trying not to let his mind fall into chaos and staying awake as much as possible.
Lee Jae-hyun stood at the bottom of the pyramid holding a cue card, facing the contestants. There was a long passage in the middle, which looked like the two ends of a scale.
The nine empty seats are still waiting for their owners.
Upon receiving the program's instructions, Lee Jae-hyun suppressed his expression, looked directly into the camera, and raised his microphone to say, "Thank you to all the star promoters in front of and behind the screen for your continued support of this program. Without you, these stars wouldn't be here today. Thousands of stars are now reflected in everyone's eyes, and the moment of shared appreciation is about to arrive. Please prepare yourself and join me in witnessing the brilliant future of these stars."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera shifted to the contestant on the other side. Lu Wei stroked his collar with one hand and bowed deeply to the front together with the contestant beside him.
"Come on, Xiaowei!!!"
"Yuli is the best!!!"
“Eun-seong, don’t be afraid!!”
The audience shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to give confidence to the contestants on stage and to themselves.
Related comments flew by, and passers-by fans occupied a small corner.
"I know, I know. You guys don't call it a muddled fight."
"Laughing and crying, the focus is so strange."
"Y1S1, [Stars Glittering] is not as memorable as [The Chaotic Group Melee]."
"Why call me Star Promoter? It's not friendly at all. Call me the Leek King!"
“Okay, your wallet has been debited. Thank you for your support.”
“.........”
After his opening remarks, Lee Jae-hyun introduced the contestants one by one and recounted the voting rules. After the tedious process was complete, the rankings were announced, and the "dong dong..." sound, which had been fading, began to rise again.
It made everyone feel uneasy.
Li Jae-hyun picked up the numbered envelope, glanced at the contents, and calmly raised the microphone to say, "According to the [Stars] ranking release rules, I'm going to announce number 8 first."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew what was going on.
The players who have secured their spots will be announced at the end, and the scenario of advancing one step and failing the next will still need to be staged.
The camera switches back and forth between the contestants' faces, allowing the audience to clearly see their expressions.
"This player has outstanding abilities and is an excellent captain." Lee Jae-hyun looked at the cue card and gave a vague hint.
???
4 performances, 7 stages, there are only a few people who have never served as captain.
"It's better to describe your personality traits and let people guess than to be filled with question marks."
"So, are there people in the upper circles who are not exceptionally talented?"
"No, it's not Wei Huang anyway. This sister doesn't have a strong desire for the camera and has never served as a captain."
"Sam Soon Young Cha is No. 8, there's a good chance it's her."
"Wow... Han Shuying has already caused trouble for his former teammates. Are you sure the word 'captain' isn't ironic?"
"Indeed, the production team isn't that stupid to disgust Cha Cha at a time like this."
"Could it be Xing-san?"
"The production team thought her life wasn't long enough, so they stabbed Li Enxing again."
"Haha, looking at it this way, the position of captain is a bit hot."
"There's nothing we can do. There are too many talented contestants. It's just impossible to convince everyone."
"It's An Zhuxuan, right? Her ranking has been rising since she started participating in the competition."
"Forget it, even if she comes out, she'll just be blocking the spot."
"That's right, you can't get the front row seat by just clinging to someone's influence. This is a slap in the face of the production team, forcing Li Di and Wei Huang to be given the title of princess."
The barrage of comments surged wildly, with countless names passing by.
The contestants who fit the two statements all held their hearts high. Being scolded and secretly ridiculed was nothing. What was real was getting benefits.
Li Enxing, Han Shuying and others don't care about being cricketed at all, and the troubles surrounding them have never stopped. No. 8 Steady happiness, who doesn't want it?
Instead of worrying about it, it is better to quit while you are ahead.
The camera, controlled by the director, scanned several faces at random. Lu Wei looked at the small screen to the side, and a slight understanding came to his mind.
Seeing the atmosphere was heating up, Li Zaixian raised his voice professionally and continued his unfinished words: "The eighth-place contestant is Zhao Minxi! Congratulations!"
With a "bang", the jet equipment on the scene was launched into the sky. Zhao Minxi's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.
She finished 9th three times and actually moved up one spot on the final night.
The contestants who had always been extremely reserved in front of the camera took the initiative to control their bodies this time, took two steps closer to Zhao Minxi's position, hugged her, and applauded to congratulate her.
"The combat record can be checked. One crash, many brainless ones."
"The fake princess: Gao Wenyan, the real princess: Zhao Minxi."
"Smooth sailing, incredible luck! Where did this fan come from? I'm really curious. What do you like about her?"
"She's a strong dancer. You don't understand the charm of a dancer."
"With her unique dancing skills, Minxi deserves the debut spot more than anyone else."
"Good oil....two bottles of dish soap."
"I don't know how Liz can bear it."
"Tonight is a heartbreaking night for Lidi. She finally escaped from the vampires and now has to embark on the path of a babysitter again."
"Hilarious! I lurked deep within the Lisi group and witnessed Lisi break through the defenses firsthand."
"I suggest that Xingsang and Shuangxi be tied together."
"I support it. I don't mind watching the fun."
After hearing the verdict, Han Shuying quickly suppressed the frustration on her face and clapped her hands nonchalantly. Just wait a little longer...it didn't make sense that someone less popular than her could be promoted while she couldn't. Besides, there was no point in rushing now.
Kim Yoo-ri turned around, with her back to the camera, and simply clapped and congratulated. She didn't want to show her teammate's affection. She had already cut off many rounds, and if she continued to tie them together, it would be endless. She really became a poverty alleviation expert.
Unfortunately... Zhao Minxi didn't think so. Before walking up to the podium, she hugged Jin Youli and thanked her old teammate for taking care of her.
When touched, Kim Yoo-ri's body stiffened for a moment, but her perfect expression management concealed this.
To be honest, I feel a little helpless.
The straight ball can indeed repel everything, and we can only think about it after it is over.
Lu Wei, who had eaten the small melon, straightened his body, gathered his scattered thoughts, and listened quietly to Zhao Minxi's speech.
The twists and turns between these two people are easy to understand. What is shown on the screen is not everything. What is shown behind the screen is not everything.
It all comes down to the division of interests.
Zhao Minxi took a deep breath, lowered her head, and spoke to the standing microphone that the staff had placed in advance: "I thank the [Stars Brilliant] production team for the opportunity, thank you all for your support, and thank you my teammates for your help. I am able to stand here thanks to you all. In the future, I will continue to work hard to let everyone see a better performance and a better Zhao Minxi. Thank you, and you have worked hard."
After she finished speaking, Zhao Minxi bowed deeply towards the front. She couldn't say anything overly sentimental, and didn't know how to express her gratitude in a fancy way. She could only use such official language and official remarks to convey her feelings.
"Another day of missing Wei Huang."
"This is the difference between a perfect essay and a passing essay."
"Except for the fans, none of us have been emotionally aroused. The gap is terrifying."
"Shuangxi is so cute and clumsy..."
"Seriously?"
"Jin Youli: This is for you, no thanks."
"I took a deep breath. There are actually people who like this."
"Pumpkin, watermelon, cantaloupe, she's your little goofball."
"I suddenly remembered what I had for breakfast."
Seeing Zhao Minxi walk up to the pyramid and sit down in her seat, Li Zaixian opened another envelope, read the contents, and raised the microphone to say, "The seventh-place contestant has been in the industry for a long time and is very popular among the star promoters."
Hearing the description, the audience's DNA started moving again, and their brains started working quickly, searching for the target suspect along with the switching shots.
"Debut time? Wei Huang has been ruled out again."
"Is it Chacha?"
"Is Yingcha so popular with the star promoters? Don't be ridiculous. This sister is always so playful and gossipy. It's obvious that most people are here to have fun. Unless this makeshift team is shamelessly trying to change the concept."
"Qiu Haiyun and Cui Zhihe have been in the industry for quite some time. I like them quite a lot anyway."
"Did the production team eat up everyone in the last circle? You didn't even mention Xiao Meizi, the eagle-watcher, or the comedy sister!"
"It's obvious they're blocking the seats. There's nothing much to say."
"Although it's cruel, people always have to face reality. The public opinion is really different. The top 10 and the bottom 10 are not in the same circle."
