Chapter 202 Ending and Rebirth
Perhaps because the guardian position was about to be announced, the ranking was getting closer to the C position, and the "plop..." sound that had been weakening resounded throughout the venue again.
The program team is still persisting in creating the atmosphere of a suspense film and using timeless methods to increase suspense.
Lee Jae-hyun calmly opened the envelope, not pretending to be unusual, and gave a general reminder: "The third-place contestant gave the star promoters a satisfactory answer in their fourth performance."
Huh??!!
Lu Wei doubted her ears. What kind of hint was this? What difference did it make whether it was said or not? Could there be someone who slipped through the net after the fourth public performance fell in the current rankings? Did she really need to explain why the crash landing team became so famous?
The production team...are they a little too sarcastic...
Lu Wei felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
"Shrimp and pig heart, whip the corpse again."
"The abandoned princess and other twilight forces are not allowed to fight for land with their heads."
"It's so funny, when it comes to the whole process, we have to look at the official one."
"The forced landing crew is already having a hard time, and now they have to keep getting stabbed in the back."
"As far as hints are concerned, only Emperor Huang Li has some influence."
"Indeed, and no matter who the third one is, they'll be able to suppress the desperate struggles of the Tai women's gang and ensure they don't dare to make a single sound."
"Um... I'm a little panicked."
"Not really. It's just a satisfactory answer, not an excellent result. These two can't possibly go back home together."
"Hehe... the blasting team is ready."
"Most likely Winfey."
"How sad! The production team is using this to hype things up again."
“Gao Wenyan, Shen Baola, and Qiu Haiyun regretted their actions.”
"The makeshift team is really too comprehensive."
Gao Wenyan and others who were preparing for a counterattack no longer had the energy to care about the program team's operations. Starting from Samsoon, who was filled with bad luck, their reputation was completely lost.
Who would have thought that just a small failure would lead to the destruction of all the previous efforts.
The camera moved back and forth between Lu Wei and Jin Youli's faces. The director took the risk of following the network cable and took the reward of a salary increase to guide the audience to make guesses.
Seeing this scene, Kong Yufei's mouth twitched slightly. The producers really thought highly of her and kept creating hype for her.
Speaking of answering the questions, let's just talk about answering the questions. Why do we have to bring up the fourth public performance? Do the previous performances not count? Whenever this is mentioned, Kong Yufei thinks of the referendum and the embarrassment of being chosen.
She knows her own limitations and is not yet as good as the first two in terms of stage performance, so could the camera please stop shaking around?
It's really annoying...
"I suddenly believe that the production team distributed [a lot of] scripts."
"Why? I don't understand."
"From top to bottom, after careful consideration, all the contestants who made it to the finals have some public attention."
"Oh, is it that hard to admit that their group portraits are good and their weird pink dance is wonderful?"
"It's hard to disagree, but I only want to concede half of it, the latter part."
"Lixing, Wencha, and Haifeisi: ...the bullet hit them right between their eyebrows."
"Stop talking nonsense. If it's a script, I'll agree. Once I start watching it, it's full of ups and downs, full of melodrama, much more exciting than a TV series."
"Yes."
Lu Wei stared directly at the equipment facing his face, without any anxiety or trembling in his pupils.
It was part of the shoot, nothing to be afraid of. Even if her name was about to appear, there was nothing to be sad about.
Her friends who support her have already given enough; there's no point in them asking for more or complaining. Whether she's 3rd or 9th, she'll work her way up; ranking is temporary, not permanent.
"Damn it, the pressure from the Emperor is too strong."
"This sister is not at all pretentious, confidence is written all over her face."
“The meaning of high spirits is once again demonstrated through the picture.”
"What did Wei Huang eat when he was growing up? Can the parents share the recipe so I can give it to my little Ha?"
"Don't even think about it. As we all know, Huskies will destroy the house anyway."
"Villeroy & Boch really makes Mommy proud."
"Give Xiaowei a thumbs up, she's really doing well."
"When things are set in stone, there's nothing to be nervous about. Just be bold and assertive and conquer the world."
After a pause, Lee Jae-yeon received instructions from the directors and announced the answer in a louder voice: "The third-place winner is Kong Yu-bi! Congratulations!"
call.......
Kong Yufei let out a breath of air. The dust had settled, everything was over. Just because she wasn't as good as Lu Wei and Jin Youli now didn't mean she would be the same in the future.
She will always keep moving towards her goal, never compromise and never retreat.
"Here I am, the vanguard."
"Alright, alright, Wencha, go up and keep Jifei company."
"Look at the current list, it's hilarious and scary."
"The heat is on, and the melon people are showing off."
"Poor Feifei, the women's party will hate her to death."
“The number one driver of the dynasty’s decline.”
"Tracing back to the source, English tea accounts for one-third of the responsibility."
"That's hilarious! Xing Sang has to bear one-third of the responsibility, Li Di... Wei Huang..."
"It's impossible to divide it completely. It's impossible to divide it completely."
The barrage of comments was surging like crazy, and the audience seats were no less enthusiastic, with discussions and arguments in full swing.
Lu Wei turned sideways and gave applause and congratulations to the people next to him: "Congratulations."
Kong Yufei curled her lips and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, I'll wait for you at the top of the tower."
Because her former teammates had been eliminated, Kong Yufei did not hug anyone. After responding to Lu Wei, she walked straight to the podium and continued to show her Bking side.
Jin Youli was puzzled as to what had gone wrong to make the hot-tempered Kong Yufei treat Lu Wei and others in such a hypocritical manner.
Even she was classified into another category.
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out…
"Thank you all for your support, which allows me to give a speech at this moment. I am honored to be a part of this show and to work with so many outstanding contestants. I will continue to work hard in the future to create more and more exciting stages. Thank you." After Kong Yufei finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the front and paused for a long time before walking up to the pyramid and sitting down.
This program made her realize that there are always people better than you and there are always mountains higher than you.
Looking forward is necessary, and looking down appropriately is also necessary.
"Wen Fei's business ability is beyond reproach."
"His eyes didn't even turn red, and his emotions were surprisingly stable."
"I told you it's because of the aura. Kong Yufei acts like a human being in front of Lu Wei anyway."
"In front of the Chicken Flying Group, I became... [dog]."
As Kong Yufei took her seat, everyone's attention was focused on Lu Wei and Jin Youli, and the battle for the C position began.
Four performances, three rankings, and countless competitions will all come to an end.
"I'm voting for Wei Huang with 7 votes on behalf of my entire family!"
"Lidi, my god! Support the local C position!"
"Lu Wei, charge hard!!!"
"Fight—fight!!!"
The barrage message froze once again, and the number of real-time viewers exploded. The audience, who had waited all night, widened their eyes, their hands clenched like pickles.
This time, the program team didn't give any prompts. They just split the big screen in two, one half facing Lu Wei and the other half facing Jin Youli.
The 4th and 3rd are just one step away, and the same is true for the 2nd and 1st.
The C position of a regular group may change with the concept of the song, but the C position of a talent show will not. Unless the group disbands, the title of C position will remain firmly on this person's head.
Needless to say, its value is great.
Lu Wei raised his eyes, his gaze climbing up inch by inch from the bottom of the pyramid until he reached the top.
There is a hint of emotion in the clear eyes that is difficult to read, writing ambition and reading sharpness.
Jin Youli straightened her lips and clenched her fists. She knew the climb was difficult, but it would be cowardly not to dream.
That kind of person is not her.
Not the original Kim Yoo-ri.
The two men were not far apart, they could touch each other with just one step, but they showed an incompatible posture.
“So tense!!!”
"Bungo-sensei!!! Cook for me now!!!"
"My stomach is rumbling."
"I really like Wei Huang and Li Di. If they didn't have so little contact, it wouldn't be their turn to dance like crazy."
"Since Li is born, why is Wei born?"
"For a mediocre group to produce two legendary players, their ancestors must be very happy."
"The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh, it's too difficult to choose."
"Stop pretending and calm down."
"The real Weislis has fallen silent."
After looking at the pyramid, Lu Wei's gaze returned, and his pupils looked forward without any hesitation, like a sword that had just been closed, with a cold and sharp aura, and more confidence.
I don’t know if it was the camera favoring her, but the audience could vaguely see a layer of smoke-like gas on Lu Wei, which was particularly eye-catching under the spotlight.
The tingling in Kim Yoo-ri's palm kept reminding her to stay awake and not be afraid.
Admitting defeat and accepting fate are two different things. Even if there is little hope, you cannot take a single step back.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but after the Emperor's aura dissipated, it was like a dark cloud was hanging over Li Di's head, dark and gloomy."
"Yes, there is an inexplicable sense of loneliness and courage."
"A hero standing in the darkness."
"Stop talking, stop talking, or I'll start singing."
Because he didn't give any hints, Lee Jae-hyun paused twice as long this time before he raised the microphone and announced the result in a high-pitched voice: "Second place - Kim Yoo-ri!!! Congratulations!!!"
Jet equipment sprayed into the sky, sending congratulatory messages to the parties involved.
Jin Youli lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, without a trace of bitterness, only full relief. The stone hanging in her chest was put down, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
I will write a victory script for myself in the future. This loss was not unfair.
Lu Wei turned his body and looked at Jin Youli. After seeing the meaning in the other's eyes, he decisively raised his palm and offered congratulations.
This is an opponent worthy of respect.
Jin Youli smiled, and in her heart she was impressed by Lu Wei's frankness. She took a step forward, and with a hint of reconciliation, she opened her arms and hugged Lu Wei and said, "I'll wait for you upstairs. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Lu Wei reached out and patted Jin Youli's shoulder in response.
"ah!!!!"
The screams from the audience broke through the sky, and a famous scene that did not appear in the main film appeared on the night of the final.
"They really did. I cried my heart out."
"No, you two broke the ice so easily. Where did you put the evil powder?"
"The fans are going crazy."
"Don't be crazy, it's just a hug."
"We'll all be teammates in the same group from now on, so we definitely can't make things too awkward."
"This time, Lidi is standing on the 5th floor."
“The Thousand Layer Pancake Empire Rises.”
Kim Yoo-ri walked up to the podium and looked at the audience holding banners. Her eyes, which had not changed when the rankings were announced, suddenly became red.
"I'm sorry for letting you all support me for so long. I am not a qualified idol, nor a qualified friend. I don't have the ability to change, and I have no way to give back. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to everyone. Because of you, I have achieved what I have today. No matter what the future holds, I hope everyone can be happy, happy, safe and healthy." Kim Yoo-ri abandoned the three-part speech and spoke sincerely from her heart.
She felt guilty for not being able to make her fans proud and for not being able to hold her head high when they mentioned her.
"Alas... Lidi's calculations never changed."
"Hideto's sincerity is purer than glass. The most respectable and cautious contestants have abandoned official rhetoric."
"Emo... My chest feels so tight."
After Kim Yoo-ri finished speaking, she kept bowing to the audience on the four-sided stage, hiding her overflowing tears in the floor.
Lu Wei raised her wrist and clapped again. She would never get tired of hearing the story of running towards each other even if she heard it a hundred times.
"I always feel that Emperor Wei understands Li Di very well."
"Neither of them has ever backstabbed a fan, so of course they understand."
"Tsk... one is openly charming, the other is covertly charming, and they've caught all the swaying walls in one fell swoop."
"Huka really needs to learn from this. Having this kind of heart is better than anything else."
"Respect is the first lesson every artist should learn when facing the outside world."
Seeing Kim Yoo-ri sitting firmly in the pyramid, Lee Jae-hyun opened the last envelope, turned the card inside over to face the camera, and said firmly: "The contestant who won the first place in [Stars Bling] is - Lu Wei!!! Congratulations!!!"
The jet equipment burst into the air, and the golden ribbon specially prepared by the program team landed where Lu Wei was.
Lu Wei widened his eyes and looked up in surprise.
This is an ending that has never happened in the draft world!
The golden fragments looked like bright and dazzling stars, wrapping Lu Wei tightly.
"ah!!!"
"It's Jin Yu who's in the center position!!!"
"Lu Wei: I won't hide anymore! I'm the only one!"
“Climb to the top and pick the stars, and you can see the sun and the moon.”
"Xiao Wei!!!"
“Villeroy & Boch!!!”
“MNTB love it so much!”
"The golden rain falling alone is Lu Wei's MVP moment."
"Who else can compare to this? The next generation of unknown stars will fight tooth and nail for it."
This time, Lu Wei didn't need to stretch out her hand to receive it, the fragments belonging to her would automatically fall into her arms.
Shocked, Lu Wei, bathed in the golden ribbons, bowed deeply. The light ribbons, along with her words of thanks, floated into the hearts of everyone.
"A grand finale! The rise of a dynasty!"
"Emperor Wei, go for it!!!"
"From today on, you will be the only sister among the shining stars!!!"
"Once the Emperor appears, who can contend with him?!"
Only after all the colored ribbons had fallen to the ground did Lu Wei stand up and walk onto the carpet woven with special materials, arriving at the podium.
The contestants who witnessed this firsthand were filled with disbelief and unconcealed envy. It turns out that if they just worked a little harder, a little harder, they too could achieve such glory.
Lu Wei adjusted the stand-up microphone lever and softened her voice: "I'm so lucky to be able to participate in this program and meet the most lovely you. Thank you for accompanying me through this journey, which has helped me find the meaning of existence, the right to choose, and the courage to face the future."
"No way! Xiao Wei is the cutest!"
"I'm the one who should be thanking you. Thank you for appearing in my world."
"Don't be like this, baby. We are family and we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."
"I love you so much! Xiao Wei!"
Hearing the response from the audience, Lu Wei's heart sank even more. In order to stop herself from crying, she quickly fluttered her eyelashes to hold back the tears and continued, "At the beginning, I actually couldn't feel the charm of this profession. I could stand in the audience and watch others shine, but I couldn't emit my own light.
No matter how I think about it or how I look at it, it's not suitable to go on.
So I had the idea of retreating and escaping.
Fortunately... in the process of repeatedly struggling with myself, I encountered a light source that I couldn't ignore and saw a beautiful scenery that I had never seen before.
Thank you very much and I’m very sorry.
Now, let’s get to know each other again. My name is Lu Wei, and I’m a young idol on the rise.”
"Let's get to know each other again! My name is Ming Shunai!"
"Xiao Wei! My name is Sun Yuli!"
"My name is..."
"My nose is sore. I always feel that there is a deep meaning in Wei Huang's words."
"Don't worry too much about it. This attitude is really sincere."
"The words of thanks still depend on Lu Wei."
"Who can resist a confession from an idol?"
"The most beautiful scenery and the light source that cannot be ignored are incomparable. It really is incomparable."
After delivering his speech, under the gaze of the entire audience, Lu Wei bowed as he walked through the aisle. He straightened his back when he stepped onto the pyramid, and took firm steps upwards, one step at a time.
The contestants who were previously seated stood up and greeted her arrival.
Passing one seat after another, Lu Wei saw the one that belonged to her. She walked naturally to the chair, gently smoothed her skirt and sat down, overlooking the entire venue from the highest point of the pyramid.
The camera shoots from top to bottom, with a 100% match.
His aura was exuding and was not suppressed at all by the huge venue.
"Congratulations, Xiaowei!!!"
"Say it again! Who's the center? It's my Lu Wei!"
"Get out of Korea! Head towards Asia!"
“Villeroy & Boch is the best!!!”
Cheers rang out again, and the real-time subtitles floating on the screen overwhelmed the people who were having fun, and there was no longer a single unnecessary comment.
It took a while before it stopped.
The dust has settled on 1-8, with only the 9th place remaining to be announced.
The 12 contestants who were still standing there pulled themselves away from their envy and prayed their final prayers for themselves.
Li Zaixian raised the microphone and took control of the situation: "There is one last position on the pyramid. Who will it belong to?"
As the words fell, the camera moved across everyone's faces one by one.
"Oh my god, there are so many people, how do we divide them?"
"The princess, Xiao Xuanzi, and the comedy sister are all here."
"12 to 1, so cruel."
The suspense was created, and the big screen instantly split into four parts, and the faces of Gao Wenyan, An Zhuxuan, Shim Bo-ra, and Cui Zhihe were projected on it.
Qiu Haiyun and other contestants who did not show up felt their hearts sink. They could not see anything clearly and could not hear anything.
Disillusionment...
The cruel reality has arrived.
An Zhuxuan's confidence has dissipated a lot, her eyes are a little evasive, and she dare not look directly at the camera. This feeling of walking on the clouds is really not easy to adapt to.
It would be fine if Gao Wenyan and Shen Baora were not among her competitors, but these two just fell out of the top 9. As someone who has never made it to the debut position, what can she use to compete?
Cui Zhihe sighed and could only say that she had bad luck. She had never encountered Lu Wei and Jin Youli once from the beginning to the end. If she could do it again, she would definitely choose carefully.
Gao Wenyan and Shen Baora hated themselves for the fourth public performance. It was not because of their stupid performance, but because they looked like clowns in front of a group of smart contestants.
"It's okay. The candidates are quite objective."
"Qiu Haiyun is in big trouble. She was clearly the vocalist who was way ahead from the start."
"That's what a clumsy person is. San Gong hasn't done anything substantial, he's just trying to curry favor with others."
"From the perspective of the show's effect, I hope Shen Bao will be dragged in to punish Song Yuji."
Li Zaixian received the signal, opened the new envelope, and announced the names one by one from the end: "12th - An Zhuxuan."
From 32-12, this hurdle still hadn't been overcome. An Zhuxuan lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Some positions seemed very close, but were actually very far away.
“Come back next year…”
"Sigh...it's a little lacking in fan acquisition, but otherwise I can't find any fault with it."
"Come on, come on."
"A good blacksmith must be strong himself. Relying on others is not enough."
"Hints come after the fact."
"That's right, they seize every opportunity to use you as a scapegoat."
Lee Jae-hyun: "No. 11 - Shim Bo-ra."
Shen Baola bit her lower lip, turned her head away from the camera, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.
She was clearly the one leading earlier, so how did it end like this...
"There are too few spots. It's MNTB's fault."
"Choose carefully next time and don't make a mistake."
"He's got a pretty sharp mind. If he can improve the original combination, he can see new ways forward."
"Indeed, SPDE deserves further development."
Song Yuji lowered her eyes. She didn't want to say anything hypocritical. If Shen Baola didn't fall, she would be the one to fall.
Of the two, only one can stay.
The split screen closed again, becoming two pieces. Gao Wenyan and Cui Zhihe's hearts were beating wildly. Just one last step.
Li Zaixian paused and read out the last name: "9th place - Cui Zhihe! Congratulations!"
"That's great, here comes someone who can sing high notes."
"Complete the configuration and ascend on the spot."
"Oh My God!!!"
"The princess has been abandoned!!!"
"Could it be that the target was the wrong one?"
"I'm going to die. All the elements are right."
Hearing the cheers that did not belong to her, Gao Wenyan felt a little nauseous, and the acid in her stomach was churning.
In the end, she was the one who ran away.
Cui Zhihe covered her mouth in disbelief. Was fate blessing her? It turned out that even without following the crowd, relying on her own strength, she could be seen by the outside world.
"She doesn't make trouble, doesn't cause any trouble, and works hard on the stage. Cui Zhihe is pretty awesome."
"Now that I think about it, this person is a replica of Gao Wenyan!"
"No, one actively avoided the fight, and the other was caught by mistake."
“There’s no shame in running away, but it’s also useless.”
The empty seats on the pyramid were filled, and Lu Wei and the others stood up in front of the seats at the same time. The four screens flickered for a moment.
The short video prepared in advance appeared in front of everyone.
Stars lit up in the night sky, and a long and endless star belt appeared before everyone's eyes.
Before everyone could finish admiring the scene, the scattered stars gathered together and formed part of the [galaxy].
This word means galaxy or milky way.
It also means "a group of outstanding people".
The production team did not follow the tradition of choosing a team name related to the number of players. Instead, they intuitively and simply gave the title of "Bright Stars" to this group of deserving contestants.
"I won't tell you who is jealous."
"Li Tao, why did MNTB suddenly become a human?"
“How can we surpass it next time?”
"The difficulty level is hell. The production team gave us everything they could."
"It sounds great. I hope the sisters can carry the will of the undebuted contestants and become the shining stars in the sky."
"It's just not easy to remember. We can discuss a nickname later."
The group's name was announced, and Lu Wei, along with his new teammates, bowed forward, thanking himself for his hard work and thanking his friends for their unconditional support.
The pink rain of parting fell, burying all the crying, joy, sorrow and tears.
At this point, the program "Bright Stars" that brought everyone infinite touching moments has come to an end, but the contestants' stories are still to be continued.
Before leaving the stage, Lu Wei waved vigorously towards the audience.
See you tomorrow! ! !
