The second performance was scheduled for Friday. Due to the loss of control this time, despite the program group's repeated emphasis, there was still a small live video recorded by a mobile phone and spread.
Although the clarity is touching and the sound is noisy, you can hardly hear anything, but the warm atmosphere is exciting. In addition, the fans at the scene were eager to tell others that they saw a god-level scene, and the second performance was on the trending search before it was broadcast.
By 8:00 p.m. on Saturday night, half an hour before the official broadcast, the Ibis Factory platform had already been maxed out.
The platform operator looked at the traffic points reported in the latest report and compared it to several other platforms, and laughed from ear to ear. They called the program team to announce the good news at the first time, but they did not expect to get the message "We are very busy now, can you talk about these useless things tomorrow".
The leader smiled.
OK, okay, thank you!
— A capable person is qualified to have a bad temper, and he is not angry at all when he is sprayed in the face!
Director Li has now straightened his back in the company. The program he is in charge of has become the veritable TOP1 online variety show. Every Saturday night, he has to rub other platforms on the ground. Naturally, he speaks confidently.
But he didn't deliberately take Joe, but this Friday and Saturday are indeed their busiest days. After finishing the production of the official broadcast version of the second performance all night, we also need to edit the backstage footage, the training status of the contestants, each group has to play, it must be positive and beautiful, and Su Jing's Chinese quintessence study class is also There will be a small feature, interviews with the factory director, Vlogs of each group... In short, the program group is busy. Before the performance, I hardly closed my eyes, and after the performance, there was even non-stop editing and production.
However, due to the excellent strength of the players themselves, the pressure on the editing team is much less, and they will not be looking for trouble for nothing, adding drama to nothing. Especially for the stage part, they have absorbed the opinions of many netizens this time. In addition to the official version, they also broadcast a "luxury version" with various special effects shots, and a "live version" that removes the skills and restores the most realistic stage. The three versions were released together, and the workload of the production team increased sharply, but no one complained.
Firstly, they have gotten used to Director Li's flawless personality, and secondly, the production team is very enthusiastic after several successes. After all, the show is popular, and they are all beneficiaries. Even if they change jobs in the future, they will shine on their resumes. The fire of "I'm New" raised the value of all the production team, not to mention the year-end award, so the whole workshop was beaming, as if it was Chinese New Year.
As soon as the official version was released, the bullet screens were instantly full, and the backstage had to clear the screen twice, and the bullet screens were mainly concentrated on the two sets of "Heroine" stages.
"I don't admit that these are two groups. This is clearly a program, perfectly integrated and super beautiful."
"I'm in love with Peking Opera, and I want to get into the pit, is there anyone who popularizes it?"
"Teacher Su is as good as ever, but I have to say that I was amazed by the factory manager."
"Ah, it's so hard to choose. I'm obviously an adult, so why do I have to choose? Both are fine, I want both!"
In the end, when the results of this group's battle came out, everyone was shocked, 745 VS 745, a tie!
This is simply unprecedented. Many people suspect that the program group controlled the votes, and even the program group themselves doubt themselves... After all, the probability of this is too low. However, what happened at the scene, Xie Kai was also taken aback for a moment, he and Gao Bing looked at each other, and finally decided to announce the truth.
"This... I didn't expect this to happen," Xie Kai said, "We need a few minutes to make a ruling for the director team."
According to the rules, only the team that wins the battle in the same group is eligible to run for the Popularity Championship. Now that the two groups are tied, due to the limited performance time, there is no way for an extra match. Either both groups will lose, or both groups will advance together.
After some discussion, the instructor finally decided that both groups will enter the Popularity King Selection Contest at the same time. This result finally satisfied the audience at the scene. After all, it would be ridiculous if the most popular group of shows in the audience missed the next show because of a tie.
Up to this point, almost everyone believed that today's popular king will inevitably come from the two groups of "Heroine", either Secretary Su or Director Shen, basically did not run away.
The selection of "Popularity King" was conducted by 1,500 spectators voting among the C positions of the six groups of contestants. Because the "Heroine" group made double entries, there are now seven contestants on stage. Sun Meng, Song Siyao, and CICI were all among them, and Li Yunyun missed the stage because of her defeat in the "Love Like Pink" group.
The audience held the right to vote, and they were more nervous than ever.
"Who do you choose? Factory director?"
"But Teacher Su is also very good."
"I'm also very conflicted. Both of them are so good. I feel like I'm sorry for the other if I choose one."
There are so many people who think like this, that on the big screen facing the players, the data column chart rises and falls, like an audio track. What's interesting is that the data strips of Su Jing and Shen Qi are like the same switch, the top and bottom are kept at the same level, and the difference is not more than five votes.
With the countdown, the gap between the two was controlled within one vote. For a moment, the two progress bars tied everyone's hearts.
"Four, three, two..." The countdown is coming to an end!
"Ah, what should I do, who else should I vote for? If I don't vote, I will abstain!"
"Su Jing? No, no, no, factory director, the number of votes for the factory director is low, huh? The factory director is taller, no, no, no, I still vote for Su Jing! Why are you forcing me!"
Because the difference in the number of votes is too small, the effect of every vote of the fans at the scene is immediate, and the pressure is huge. I always feel as if once I vote, there are countless people watching, and I don't want to turn the situation around because of my vote.
"I'm tied again! Who am I going to vote for... I vote... I'll give it to you if I don't care!"
"The countdown is over." Xie Kai announced, "Today's popularity king has been created, please turn around."
Looking at the final location of the data map, the scene was in an uproar.
Gao Bing said: "Let's congratulate today's popularity king... Uh, towel... Huh? Yes, it's the group C of "Love Like Pink", CICI! Congratulations!"
Everyone:? ?
CICI:! ! !
—HEY MAN? what's the situation? !
At that time, the reactions of various families were also very subtle.
MSG factory support club—
"CICI? CICI is also very good. I didn't notice it just now. It turns out that her votes are also very high."
"The "Love Is Like Pink" group is good, it's not surprising, besides, sister Yuan is in that group, uh, congratulations?"
Su Jing support club—
"CICI? "Love Is Like Pink" is really good. I like that group too."
"If it wasn't for Mr. Su, I would choose that group. Actually, I don't understand Peking Opera very well hahaha..."
passer-by audience—
"Is it actually CICI? I thought I was the only one who liked "Love Is Pink". After all, the "Heroine" group had such a high number of votes."
"Actually, I too... The Quintessence of China is very good, but I don't understand it a bit. How do you say, the spring is white and the snow is high?"
"Huh? I chose "Love Like Pink" because of the difficulty of choosing. I don't want to make the Sushen family turn against each other because of my vote!"
"Me, me too!"
CICI home support club—
"What's the situation? Is our family so ruthless? We directly crushed the Su Shen family?"
"My family's CICI is very good, it's true that it's very good, but I really didn't expect..."
"Anyway, you should be happy, er, happy? Well, applause!"
CICI stepped forward in a bit of confusion, turned around to look at the votes repeatedly, and seemed to feel that he had read the votes wrong.
Shenqi 352 votes, Su Jing 352 votes, CICI 353 votes!
Just now, even CICI itself was staring at the votes of the Sushen family, so it felt a bit dreamy at the moment. It's not that she feels that she is unworthy. She is very happy to cooperate with her teammates this time. She believes that she has done her best, and everyone performed well.
Just judging from the on-site results, it seems that the "Heroine" group is more topical, and the response is also very enthusiastic. So... the snipe and the clam fight, is she a fisherman? What kind of luck did she have
This result caused an uproar on Weibo, but no one attacked CICI. After all, she also presented a stage worthy of this ranking, but the luck component in it was too dramatic. I don't know who was the first to say on Weibo: "Hey, did you find out? It seems that the team with Shen Yuan has taken off! Miss Shen Yuan has already assisted two popular kings, looking forward to the next one!"
Everyone thought: I am X, right
Even Su Shen's win-win situation can be reversed, the fortune is too prosperous! So the truth is actually—the one who wins Shen Yuan wins the world
So after the show was broadcast, there was another trending search on Weibo related to "Once Upon a Time" after #伪新逸扬国粉# #苏庆红女之战#.
#沉元旺夫运#
Shen Yuan: Black Question Mark.JPG.
—What does it matter to her? Hey!
Immediately after the second performance, the next round of rankings will be announced. After the second performance, the rankings have undergone major changes. The factory director rose to TOP1 in one fell swoop by virtue of his profound opera skills and excellent stage performance. Su Jing played steadily, and remained motionless in the second place, but Song Siyao fell to the third place for an unprecedented time.
For some people, this result is expected, but for others it is surprising.
The factory manager has been keeping a high profile since the beginning of the show. She has never been afraid to speak up in front of the camera, but because of this, many times netizens are very tolerant towards her. As the factory manager said, listen to half of it and get it, and listen to it for fun. No one really cares about whether Shenqi will make a C debut.
But everyone watched the factory director soaring all the way, just like her appearance on the stage, like a general who has always won the battle, going forward boldly and never disappointing... It feels like the stock I bought at random has been soaring all the way, betting By the way, Bao, I can't say I'm not happy.
The manager of the fan factory is so reassuring, he loves the fans, and slaps them back fiercely. There are constant surprises along the way, with a variety of tricks, making fans feel like they are in the clouds.
Even MSG Factory itself didn't expect Shenqi's ranking to rise so quickly, he was used to being humble, and suddenly became a TOP1 fan, so he didn't know how happy he was.
The idols are too competitive, so they rushed forward on their own, and their casting in the casting team seems to be a decoration!
On the other hand, Song Siyao, who has fallen into the altar, used to consume too much internal friction due to Sweety, and her fans were domineering, defeating the favor of passers-by everywhere. On the stage of the second performance, although it is not bad, compared with the more outstanding "Love Is Like Pink" and the two groups of "Heroine" that can be directly on the TV show, it seems mediocre and nothing new.
Facing the newly released rankings, Song Siyao's smiling mask finally shattered. Although no one said anything in front of her, she felt that everyone was laughing at her. Even someone like Sun Meng can participate in the popularity competition. She and Li Yunyun are just his followers!
She had told her agent long ago that the two from NA Entertainment were not cheap, and she repeatedly told the team to start early, at least to ruin the reputation of S&S, or they would definitely regret it. But the manager just didn't move, and even asked her to try her best to bring Xin Qing back.
Why are you pulling it back? Compete with her for group C
In fact, she also prepared a countermeasure this time. Who would have thought that Lao Chu's sudden arrival would disrupt her entire plan at once. Forget about Chu Shaoheng, at least he has a sister who can talk. But in front of Old Chu... When those eyes came over, she felt a sense of fear that her thoughts would be spread out, so she had to stop temporarily.
Even TOP1 can't be kept, what is the company's team doing? !
Song Siyao dialed the phone angrily, and the moment the phone was connected, her outburst of resentment immediately turned into boundless grievances: "Sister, please help me, I'm about to lose my debut..."
When Song Siyao was complaining to Song Siyao, the contestants who finished the second performance were protesting with the program crew.
"Director Li, what about the hot pot? We want to eat hot pot!"
"That's right, Director Li said that if the number of webcasts in this episode of the performance reaches the standard, he will invite us to eat hot pot!"
"Hot pot! Hot pot! Hot pot!"
In the face of a group of cute little girls who are acting badly and cheating, Director Li had no choice but to ask, "Aren't you afraid of getting acne? Are you afraid of getting angry?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Acne can be eliminated, but if you don’t eat hot pot, it will disappear!
Director Li thought for a while and said, "Well, let each of you tell me a reason for going to eat hot pot. If you convince me, I will apply with the program team..."
The little girl immediately protested against Li Dao's cunning, but they were not afraid to ask for a reason. Which of these beautiful people can speak well
"Let's just say it, I'll come first! The number of weekly broadcasts of web dramas ranks first in the entire Internet, shouldn't you eat hot pot?"
Yeah!
"Shouldn't you eat hot pot if the performance is a complete success?"
Yes, it is!
"This year's popularity king CICI is from Sichuan, shouldn't we eat hot pot?"
CICI: Wait? Are you okay
"Ms. Su was interviewed on TV, shouldn't she eat hot pot?"
Su Jing: Uh, this... In fact, she is not alone...
"The factory director was promoted to the new TOP1, shouldn't he eat hot pot?"
Factory manager: "That's right, that's right! It should be right! You're right!"
Director Li: You are not humble! ! Can you please? !
As soon as the factory manager joined in the booing, all the reasons from heaven came out.
"I untied my shoelaces today, shouldn't I eat hot pot to calm my surprise?"
"The hour and minute hands of the watch overlap twice, eat hot pot!"
"The male god didn't update Weibo today, sad, eat hot pot!"
"The world is not peaceful, worry, eat hot pot!"
Director Li: ...
At that time, in order to motivate the contestants, he did promise to invite everyone to eat hot pot if the performance was a complete success. The water that was spilled out of what he said is now only recognized! What's more, the program team worked overtime for three days, so they should take a break.
Special Assistant Lin: "Director Li, there was no hot pot in the previous schedule, the funds..."
Director Li: "Of course it was produced by the program group, and I asked the brothers to bring their guns and short guns, and directly set them up in the restaurant to shoot sideshows."
Reality show, what is a reality show? Eating is also an important part, how can such a good theme be missed!
Staff: Did you agree to relax? ?
So an hour later, the "Once Upon a Time" program group booked the second floor of the Chuanwang Mansion, which is the closest to the training camp, ordered 20 tables of platters, and set off in a mighty way.
In fact, the reason why everyone is so depressed is because they were trapped in the training camp for more than half a month, which is more rigorous than going to school, which is inevitably boring. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all in the cafeteria, except for the small snacks that the manager sneaks in, there is no outside food. Girls are usually quite self-disciplined, and they are not careless about body management. In addition, they usually train a lot, and they can eat anything delicious when they are tired.
But after a long time, I still complain, I want to eat meat, I want to eat hot food, I want to eat all kinds of skewers, snacks, I want to eat fried yogurt with ice cream and dessert... So this "release" makes people very happy.
Surrounded by the smoke and the smell of meat, a group of youthful girls put down their idol burdens in front of the food, chatting and cooking meat, and the laughter even spread to the first floor.
Shen Qi was almost done eating now, holding a drink contentedly and listening to Shen Yuan tell interesting stories about their group.
Tang Xiaoshi stood up suddenly: "Mr. Shen, can I have a few words with you alone?"
Shen Qi was startled: "Of course."
When Tang Xiaoshi said this, it was obvious that she didn't want to expose some words in front of the camera. Shen Qi followed Tang Xiaoshi to the corridor, but saw several girls waiting there besides Tang Xiaoshi. Shen Qi knew some of them, old classmates from Class F, and some of them had met, but they were not that familiar, and they might not have spoken to each other.
"Factory manager!" Tang Xiaoshi heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the camera, "We all belong to the monosodium glutamate factory!"
Shen Qi:? ?
what's the situation? I regard you as a teammate, but you want to be my fan
Tang Xiaoshi's eyes lit up: "Well... we are all at the bottom, and it is a fluke to be able to stay in this round. After today, we may not be able to get so close to you again. Everyone wants to talk to you."
Shen Qi was taken aback.
Tomorrow will be the announcement of the second round of popular votes, and half of the people here will leave the training camp tomorrow. This kind of carefree, innocent life of thinking about nothing but the game will eventually come to an end. Excellent trainees will continue to strive for the debut position, and those who are not hot enough will admit failure and go back and continue to work hard. There is no banquet that lasts forever.
Shen Qi didn't have this kind of trouble, or in other words, the people around Shen Qi basically didn't have this kind of trouble, except for Tang Xiaoshi.
Tang Xiaoshi was able to step on the line in the last round. Although this round borrowed the light of everyone in the second group of "Heroine" and performed well, she knew in her heart that with her current strength, her "Once Upon a Time" The road can only go so far. Even so, in such a short period of time, I met many outstanding people, opened my eyes, and formed a team with my "idol" on the same stage. Tang Xiaoshi felt like a dream.
"Mr. Shen, as your fans, we all have a small wish..."
Shen Yuan waited for Shen Qi for a long time without seeing anyone, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. Her partner's favorite duck sausage was served, and Shen Yuan tried her best to avoid the burden of being an idol, so she saved half a plate for her from a few foodie teammates, but the man still didn't come back.
She handed the precious half plate of duck intestines to Amy, and motioned her to cover the plate sideways: "Xiao Ai, use your body to cover it."
Regardless of whether Amy understood or not, she rushed to the corridor.
As a result, as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Shen Qi standing at the head of the row. Opposite her were seven or eight girls. Everyone stood neatly in a row, hugging, shaking hands and taking photos with Shen Qi one by one.
Shen Yuan: Is this a handshake meeting at the scene
The girls took Shen Qi's autograph and left contentedly. Tang Xiaoshi's eyes were still red.
Just now, after hugging several other girls, the factory manager exchanged contact information with her alone, that is to say, even if she is eliminated tomorrow, she can still keep in touch with the factory manager as a friend.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoshi liked her so much, Shen Qi was actually a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm not that good..."
"Don't say that!" Tang Xiaoshi said seriously, "You are the best!"
No one can deny her idol, even idol herself!
Shen Qi was slightly startled, and she asked doubts in her heart: "Actually, why do you like me? I think I am just an ordinary person. I also have to memorize lyrics, memorize movements, and practice until late at most. It's just that the talent is better, it's no different... "
"It's different!" Tang Xiaoshi said earnestly, "You have light! No matter how hard I try, I won't have it. And seeing your ranking rise, it's as if I've been recognized by the whole world!"
"...Is that so?" Shen Qi blinked, still not fully understanding.
How can people pin their hopes on a stranger, how can they have a sense of substitution
Tang Xiaoshi said: "Director, I haven't told you. In fact, my family is very similar to your situation. My family runs a food chain. When I was young, my parents sold fried chicken at the school gate. Later, the business became better and better. Now I have my own food chain. companies and brands."
"But because of this incident, I have been nicknamed by my classmates since I was a child in school. There are many ugly things related to 'chicken', so that I have a shadow of this word. Even if my family becomes rich later, they It’s still the same, some people are jealous of my family’s improvement, and even worse.”
Language is actually the most hurtful thing, especially to children.
"I... don't really want to be a star, I just want to be on TV, to show those who look down on me and make fun of me, my parents raised me up with the money you look down on, selling fried chicken , I am better than you all. I can stand on the stage that you envy and look up to."
Tang Xiaoshi wrung her hands nervously: "Although I didn't do well, I failed in the first performance. But I am not discouraged, because I know you—you are confident and powerful, like a not so bad, no, I am a very successful me. I am even happier when you become the king of popularity!"
The star that her classmates can only look up to in front of the TV and computer is her teammate!
"Director, come on! Even if you are not on this stage, I will always support you!"
When Shen Yuan came to look for her, Tang Xiaoshi had already left. Shen Yuan wiped her nose when she saw Tang Xiaoshi turned around.
"What's the matter? Xiaoshi cried? Is it because of the ranking?"
She knew that Tang Xiaoshi's ranking was not ideal, so she thought that she would be in the same group as Shen Qi this time, and the factory manager would be able to bring her up anyway. But the company behind her is really not good enough. Tang Xiaoshi's scenes have been cut a lot due to frequent problems, no one supports her, and she doesn't have much fan base. It's still different from Xin Qing's situation at the beginning. It's not just a matter of supporting.
In the final analysis, things like competitions still depend on strength. Xiaoshi is very cute, but her foundation is indeed far behind. Even if she stays, the next round will be very difficult.
Shen Qi shook his head: "Yuaner, tell me, what do fans like about us?"
Shen Yuan was taken aback, feeling a little uncomfortable with her partner's sudden seriousness.
"It's probably a kind of sustenance. Dreams that cannot be realized are entrusted to a luminous body... Isn't it said that idols are a profession that sells dreams?"
The so-called difference between idols and actors and singers is probably that they are more down-to-earth and closer to fans, like an avatar tailored for fans.
"By the way, what do you want me for?" The factory manager decided to end this esoteric topic.
"I left you a duck intestine."
Factory Manager:! ! !
"Say it sooner!"
When Shen Qi and Shen Yuan happily returned to the dining table, they saw Amy's satisfied face and the plate was empty.
Shen Yuan was shocked: "Xiao Ai, didn't I ask you to protect it?"
Amy: "Protect with your body, your body... Am I getting it wrong?"
Shen Yuan: "So?"
Zhou Xinlei faced the two with a dazed expression, and kindly explained: "She's in the stomach."
Shen Yuan: Xiao Ai, you are no longer our good baby!
