Chapter 20: King Force Shocks the Audience
Is this data wrong?
Or did the director do it on purpose?
That shouldn't be the case. The online voting list is announced on Penguin Live and all netizens can see it. They won't praise anyone so blatantly.
The students from Class 4 ranked first in the online popularity voting list? It was unbelievable.
Did he pay for the ticket?
That’s not very likely. Penguin Live has set up one person, one machine, one ticket, and it’s too difficult to buy tickets.
The host was panicking as he looked at the cards in his hand. If the data was wrong and he announced the wrong results, it would be a major live broadcast accident.
What should I do...
Chief Director's Office.
Ji Lei was also confused when watching the online voting announcement on Penguin Live. He couldn't understand why such a controversial contestant would win more votes than the top fan group Sunshine Boys Group.
According to the contestant vote ranking list, Fengqi Wutong received a total of more than 150,000 votes, which was a full 50,000 votes more than the Sunshine Boy Group.
Are they so popular? Who are the people who like them? ...
On stage.
"Is he illiterate?"
"It's boring to keep keeping it a secret!"
The audience and contestants were a little dissatisfied and didn't understand why the host was dragging his feet.
Never mind, the data is wrong.
If the data is wrong, it is the mistake of the backstage staff; if the program progress is delayed, it is my own fault.
"The fifth most popular person in this contest is..."
The host smiled, pointed to the audience, and announced, "What a handsome group! Let's give them a round of applause!"
“Wow!”
Applause broke out from the audience, and the three young men sitting in the third row stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.
"The fourth place winner of this popularity contest is... a talented couple with a pretty face!"
Li Zhenzhen was very satisfied with the number of votes. She blew kisses to the audience who were applauding, which caused another wave of screams.
Are they planning to follow the Korean girl group route? The top three will be announced soon...
Lin Zhixing rubbed his hands, feeling both excited and nervous.
"The third most popular group is... the Mulan Brothers. Where are the applause?"
Finished!
There is only one chance left, and it is a foregone conclusion that a fresh-faced group like the Sunshine Boys will get first place in votes.
Lin Zhixing's heart was beating in his throat.
Why do you set such high goals for yourself?
Guo Jiahe, who was sitting in the mentor seat, turned his head to look in the direction of the contestant seat and curled his lips.
The other contestants in the contestant seats were also stealing glances towards the fourth row, waiting to see their opponents make a fool of themselves, especially those who loved to boast, who should be severely slapped in the face.
"The second place winner of this popularity contest is...Sunshine Boys!"
After the host's loud announcement, everyone was stunned and there was silence without applause or cheers.
No one is allowed to bring a mobile phone during live broadcast. If your phone rings during the live broadcast, it would be a big deal. People in the recording hall do not know the status of the player rankings on Penguin Live.
The audience, mentors, and contestants all looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
The eight boys of the Sunshine Boys Group were all surprised by the result, some stared with their eyes wide open and held their heads in their hands, some covered their faces, some slapped their thighs, and some shook their heads in disappointment.
Among all the participating groups, this one is backed by the most powerful agency, has bought the most trending searches, and its popularity can be said to crush other groups.
Moreover, all eight of them have a Weibo fan base, and the most popular one has a million fans. They also posted on Weibo to ask for votes before the game. How could he be the second place? "Is it fake?"
"Why is the Sunshine Boys Group second? Is there a mistake?"
"Who stole my husband's first place? What are the fans outside the venue doing?"
The female audience members who like Sunshine Boys were going crazy and blaming themselves for not being able to vote on the spot.
Look at the reaction on the scene.
The host smiled secretly. This group of people were just as confused as I was. However, they had all received applause from the previous groups, so they couldn’t stop here. So to liven up the atmosphere, he said, “Everyone, give some applause to the Sunshine Youth Group!”
“Wow!”
Then applause broke out from the audience.
Although everyone was surprised that Sunshine Boys got the second place in the votes, no one thought that Fengqi Wutong would get the first place, including Lin Zhixing himself.
At this moment, he was stretching his neck to look at each contestant, wondering which invisible boss would be the first.
The suspense has arisen, and some contestants have already started to fantasize about whether they will get the first place.
At this moment, a handsome guy sitting in the sixth row smiled evilly.
He thought that person should be himself because he posted a Weibo before the game.
[Vote for the "Art Youth" group in the "Birth of a Group" program and forward this koi, good things will happen this month! ]
"As smart as I am, this Weibo post has probably gone viral."
The handsome guy smoothed his bangs twice, adjusted his collar, and was ready to stand up and thank the audience for their support.
His partner glanced at him and asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Are you going to leave this stage in the best possible manner?"
"hehe!"
The handsome boy raised his mouth and said proudly, "You are taking advantage of me, just wait and see."
"Pooh!"
The partner next to him spat, "It would be better if you didn't say anything. If this wasn't a recording session, I would have slapped you in the face. You broke your voice and forgot the lyrics. I really took advantage of you!"
…
"Feifei, who do you think will be the first place?"
Zhao Weiwei stroked her chin and turned to ask Shen Fei, who was staring at the contestants' seats.
Shen Fei pursed her lips and whispered her opinion, "I think it will be the Huazhonghua group on the far left of the second row. They performed quite well today. I heard that they signed a contract with Haiyun a few days ago. Maybe the company will operate for them."
"Wow, you signed with Haiyun Records?"
Haiyun Records is one of the three major music companies on Bluestar. Zhao Weiwei was quite surprised, then nodded in agreement and said, "Then the first place will definitely be theirs."
…
"Now, I announce that the group that won the most popularity award is..."
Under the attention of the whole audience, the host said in a long tone: "Phoenix roosts in the wutong tree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Sixth row: “Why the hell are you standing up!”
Sixth row: "My butt is numb."
Who am I? Where am I? "Hiss... Zhixing, why are you pinching me?"
Lin Zhixing stared blankly at Song Ge who was rubbing his arm beside him, and tapped his right hand with his left hand. It turned out that this was not a dream. It was too unbelievable.
Did some tycoon give me a ticket? "Why would it be him?"
"Isn't this too fake? The contestant sitting in the fourth row got the most online votes?"
"This is a shady deal! Is it the director's relative or is he using unspoken rules?"
"My husband actually lost to the one singing folk songs. I feel so bad..."
The audience and contestants were talking about it and were all finding it incredible.
"Is your ex-boyfriend's family rich and well-connected?"
Zhang Long widened his eyes and asked Li Zhenzhen, who was standing beside him with an equally confused look on her face.
Li Zhenzhen shook her head dully. "It's just an ordinary family... there are hackers, right? Why does he do that?"
At this moment, the contestants in the first three rows all turned around and looked back, while the contestants in the last two rows stretched their necks to look forward, and also looked towards the center from both sides.
In front of everyone's eyes.
Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth to his ears, and slowly raised his left hand with his index finger raised.
Thanks to afrashui for the 100-point reward, thanks to Fatty Shi Wushuang for the 100-point reward, thanks to Daai Park Ji-yeon for the 100-point reward, and thanks to the book friends who followed and voted.
