Chapter 131 Hang Her Up and Beat Her
Gushan and Yuanhai left the stage after their farewell speeches. At this point, none of the three groups that broke out of the resurrection match advanced and were all eliminated.
The camera follows Xiaoshan and Hailey's backs until they disappear into the contestant channel.
This situation also made many viewers feel deeply emotional.
"Shanhai! My Shanhai! How can I watch this show without you!"
"Why did you have to think so hard to challenge Phoenix Yufei? Now you're eliminated."
"Although defeated, it is still an honor. Shanhai is already very good!"
"Yeah, yeah. It's not like a certain group that picked on the weak and ended up getting killed in the process."
"The Thorn Youth Group: If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be so secretive."
"Black Tiger Band: So? Resurrected and then another round, is that interesting?"
Amidst all the discussions, the fourth 1v1 combination began to appear.
The first to perform were the Galaxy Girls, who sang their title song today.
The show has reached its final stage, so there is no need to hold back.
Five girls including Tang Tang, Shu Yaqian and Song Yuhan performed at full power on the stage, bringing a wonderful audio-visual feast to the audience.
At the end of the song, the girls were still posing and breathing heavily.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and then September Morning exchanged the stage with them.
Also a girl group, the members of September Morning each have their own characteristics. Their stage effects are hard to tell apart from those of Galaxy Girls. They are considered to be the most balanced 1v1 group.
The song ended quickly, and the members of Sanshui and Xinghe Girls returned to the stage and entered the voting session.
Amid the dynamic music, countless nervous and excited eyes were focused on the votes on the big screen that were chasing each other.
Especially Qiao Xi, she didn't even dare to breathe and stared at the screen intently.
"Advance! Advance! You must advance!"
"Otherwise our team will be wiped out."
Qiao Xi prayed in her heart, she didn't want to follow in Xu Wenzhou's footsteps.
After a few seconds, the music stopped, the big screen stopped jumping, and the number of votes froze.
Galaxy Girl: 406 votes.
September morning: 395 votes.
Galaxy Girl narrowly defeated September Morning by 11 votes.
Sanshui announced loudly: "Congratulations to the Galaxy Girls for becoming the last group to advance to the top four of "New Era of Heavenly Group"!"
Tutor's seat.
Seeing this result, Qiao Xi's face suddenly turned bitter.
Her team still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out.
But she soon recovered, and the girls on the stage in September morning began to give their farewell speeches.
The captain of September Morning held up the microphone and said, "I'm sorry, Qiao Xi and Su Ning, we can only let you watch the finals from now on. But this is also good, at least the pressure will be less, and you don't have to worry about us so much. Have a good rest!"
Hearing this, although Qiao Xi had a smile on her face, tears had already begun to well up in her eyes.
When the atmosphere was a little sad, Xu Wenzhou suddenly raised the microphone and said, "It's okay, I will be an audience member with your mentor."
When this was said, the audience, Qiao Xi, and Suning were all amused.
Qiao Xi said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Uncle Xu. I'll ask the production team to prepare some peanuts, melon seeds and potato chips for us."
Hong Yang in the backstage center heard this and nodded.
"You can have this."
……
"The top four teams of 'New Era of Heavenly Group' have been born."
After leaving the venue in the early morning of September, Sanshui said loudly to the top four seats: "Let's give a warm round of applause to congratulate Legend, GoldenCold, Phoenix Flying, and Galaxy Girls!"
Warm applause rang out, and Sanshui continued, "Next, I will announce the rules for the final competition."
Under the expectant gazes of the audience and contestants, Sanshui suddenly changed the subject: "But before that, please invite mentor Xu Wenzhou, whose team was wiped out, and mentors Qiao Xi and Su Ning to perform their singing for us."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. Many viewers looked at the mentors in surprise and astonishment, and the live broadcast room was in an uproar.
"What?! We can actually see Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi, and Su Ning perform on stage today?"
"Wang Defa! You are really good at programming!"
"I understand. We only sang eight songs in today's live broadcast, so the duration is a bit insufficient. Let the mentors make up the time."
“Hahahaha, Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi, and Suning are just so miserable! Their team was wiped out, and yet they still have to perform on stage.”
"So this is the punishment for a team being wiped out? How about more of this?"
Amid cheers, Xu Wenzhou, Qiao Xi and Su Ning finished their performances one after another, and the spirits of the audience were also very high.
"Okay, now let's announce the rules for the finals."
Sanshui returned to the stage, holding a cue card, and continued to announce loudly: "The final will be divided into three rounds."
"In the first round, there will be a contest for the top four to the top three guest singers."
"In the second round, there will be a three-to-two selection contest."
"Round three, no-holds-barred championship fight."
As soon as Sanshui finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.
The audience looked at each other, all with stunned expressions on their faces.
This is especially true in the live broadcast room, where the number of barrages exploded.
"What's the rule here? Anyone who wants to win the championship must sing three songs?"
“Not only the champion, but even the runner-up has to sing three songs!”
"Wang Defa?!"
"Interesting!"
"Does the production team want to squeeze Bai Xingjian dry? These rules are simply inhumane!"
"Why do I feel like this rule is targeting Bai Xingjian?"
"It's not just aimed at Bai Xingjian, but at the entire Lin Qingying team. Who allowed this team to have three teams advance to the semi-finals?"
"So this rule is tailor-made for GoldenCold! They have professional songwriters Chen Zhihong and Xu Weiwen behind them, so it's easy for them to write three songs, isn't it?"
"Don't think too much about it. Anyway, I know there will be something to watch next time."
"Indeed! Singing so many songs at once, I wonder if Bai Xingjian can still come up with so many songs."
At this time, the camera also considerately turned to the contestants in the top four.
Like the stunned audience, the members of Legend, GoldenCold, Phoenix Flying and Galaxy Girls all had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Ajian, do you have three more songs you can sing?" Feng Shiqi opened his mouth slightly, looked at Bai Xingjian in surprise and curiosity and asked.
Bai Xingjian touched his nose, not quite sure: "I think so."
Of course there is, after all, the two blind boxes of works he just obtained have not been opened yet.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Your "Boundless Oceans and Skies" has successfully infected 10000 people! ]
[Task Reward: Blind Box of the Work*1, Attribute Points*6]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You and Feng Shiqi's "Lady Shexiang" successfully made 10000 people yearn to travel to Bijie, Guizhou Province! ]
[Task Reward: Blind Box of the Work*1, Attribute Points*6]
But a blind box is a blind box, and there is no way of knowing whether the song that comes out of it is suitable to sing.
"If not, we can also sing the song 'Virtual.'" Feng Shiqi turned sideways and leaned slightly towards Bai Xingjian.
The seats for the semi-finals were quite close to each other, and she didn't really want others to hear their conversation.
Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later. There's no need to be so anxious."
"Okay." Feng Shiqi nodded.
Seeing the two of them whispering, Tang Tang on the side was tactful enough not to interrupt them and continued chatting with Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan and other girls.
Faced with the rules set by the program team, Shu Yaqian, as the team leader, was also a little distressed.
Which three songs should I choose?
Tang Tang smiled and said, "Sister Yaqian, I'm not trying to destroy my own prestige and boost others' ambitions, but I feel that we may not be able to sing three songs." Song Yuhan nodded in agreement, "The champions will definitely be Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi, and the runner-up will probably be GoldenCold next door. As for us, we can just compete with Le Yan and the others for the third and fourth place."
Having participated in so many episodes of the show, as a party involved, Song Yuhan has a general understanding of several groups.
The other two members of Galaxy Girls, Sandra Ho and Suet Lam, also agreed with this statement and nodded in agreement.
Shu Yaqian glanced at them sideways but didn't say anything, because she also felt that what Tang Tang and Song Yuhan said was quite right.
As for Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai from the legend band, they were only surprised for a short while by the rules of the finals before returning to normal.
They have a very calm mentality. It is already very good to be able to advance to the semi-finals, and they can at least sing a song on the upcoming final stage. This is simply a huge profit, right?
If I'm lucky, I might even be able to sing two songs.
If I'm luckier, I might be able to sing three songs.
If I had better luck, maybe...
Anyway, the main focus of Le Yan and the other two is a good mentality.
After hearing the rules of the finals, GoldenCold's Li Zhenxi, Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun all turned their eyes to Bai Xingjian.
Three songs?
Can you bear to sing three songs in one live broadcast? Do you still have so much stock?
In short, Li Zhenxi and the other two were excited and happy at this moment.
Because in their eyes, this final rule is perfect for them!
If Bai Xingjian didn't have three songs in stock, Golden Cold might still be able to compete for the championship spot in "New Era of Heavenly Group".
What if we win the championship?
Directly avenge the previous shame of being defeated by Fenghuang Yufei several times!
What’s the point of winning so many times?
It’s not as good as us beating you once in the end!
……
"For the first round, I will not mention the lineup of guest performers for now."
On the stage, Sanshui continued, "Next, we will proceed to the second round of three-to-two topic selection competition."
At Sanshui's signal, a staff member pushed a small cart over.
Sanshui said: "In the opaque box above the cart, there are several topic cards. The corresponding themes on the cards are the themes of the songs to be sung in the second round of the finals."
"Next, I will draw the topic cards for everyone."
After he finished speaking, Sanshui reached into the cardboard box, turned it around, then took out a card and showed it to everyone:
"badminton!"
The camera gave a close-up of the card, and the whole audience was in an uproar, and the contestants in the semi-finals couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
badminton?
Is this topic a serious choice?
Isn't this too strange?
Amidst many puzzled and surprised looks, Sanshui said with a smile: "To prevent people from saying that we are operating behind the scenes, this is just a trial draw. Please be patient."
"???"
"Sanshui, are you kidding us here?"
“I can only say I can play.”
……
At the same time, in Shenzhen under the same sky.
Somewhere in a semi-new community.
Dad and Mom Feng were sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching "New Era of Heavenly Group" on TV.
"Nowadays, these hosts are quite good at creating program effects." Father Feng was quite surprised by San Shui's performance on TV.
Feng's mother was not surprised. "It's to adjust the atmosphere and let the audience see the contestants' reactions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera cut to the contestants in the semi-finals.
Everyone's expressions were wonderful.
At this time, Feng Shiqi and Bai Xingjian appeared on the screen again.
Seeing their rather surprised expressions, Father Feng first smiled, then snorted coldly: "You know what, the girl and Xiaobai now look like a flying bird and a fish."
Birds and Fish are the national band, and Feng's father and mother are their loyal listeners.
However, after hearing "Free Flying", "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" and "All Is Love" some time ago, the two elders also became loyal listeners of Fenghuang Yufei.
Of course, after knowing that the members of the group Fenghuang Yufei are Bai Xingjian and their baby daughter, Feng's father and mother became even more "loyal" and they couldn't wait to fly to them and have a unique fan meeting.
Feng's mother smiled and asked, "Whose idea was it for them to be on this show?"
"Your precious daughter."
Father Feng was watching the TV, and his tone was very certain: "And it was definitely because she persuaded Xiaobai for a long time that Xiaobai agreed to team up with her on the show. Otherwise, with Xiaobai's personality, he would definitely not take a girl to venture into the entertainment industry."
On the screen, Sanshui drew the topic card from the box for the third time, and this time it seemed to be a formal draw.
Soon, the word "duet" appeared on the topic card.
The audience was surprised by the result.
The TV screen was also filled with comments.
"Duet? Is this specially prepared for Fenghuang Yufei?"
"It's possible. After all, Fenghuang Yufei is the only duo left. The theme of [Duet] is tailor-made for them."
"How can this be called tailor-made? The program team had already chosen [duet] as the topic, but the performance of other groups at that time was not as eye-catching as Fenghuang Yufei."
"Speaking of this, I just want to know if GoldenCold will choose the theme of "Duet" this time, like last time, with Li Zhenxi and Wang Yaqi singing alone, while Lin Hailun was standing by with a bass in a daze."
"Hahaha, you know what! I want to revisit this world-famous painting."
"I don't think so. GoldenCold has made great progress now!"
Netizens were discussing the matter, and the contestants for the top four spots also had their own ideas.
Le Yan, Su Liang and Huang Hai were the most relaxed.
"Another [duet]?"
"We don't seem to have a song with this theme?"
"Well... actually, this selection rule doesn't have much impact on us. After all, whether we can enter the second round is a question. If we are lucky enough to enter the second round, we don't have to sing the song with the theme of [Duet]. After all, there is a high probability that we will not enter the third round. So who cares what the rule is? Just sing the song we want to sing."
"reasonable!"
Regarding the theme of [duet], Bai Xingjian was somewhat caught off guard.
Are we going to bring out that song “Wife! Ahaha~”?
Seeing that he was quite thoughtful, Feng Shiqi asked in a low voice: "What do you mean? Is there a song with this theme?"
Bai Xingjian pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "Yes."
Feng Shiqi smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Great!"
……
off screen.
Mother Feng's eyes were a little blurry after watching the barrage of comments. She turned around and said to Father Feng with some disdain, "Turn it off, turn it off quickly. Turn off the barrage of comments. You can't even watch the TV quietly."
Father Feng sighed: "It's so interesting to watch it with the barrage turned on. It always feels quiet and peaceful when the barrage is turned off."
Having said that, Feng's father still turned off the barrage.
Looking at the clean screen, Feng's mother nodded with satisfaction and continued the previous topic: "I also think that it was my precious daughter's idea to go on this show. Although Xiaobai knew that we would never let our daughter get involved in the entertainment industry, his personality would soften after a few persuasions. He must have been instigated by our daughter."
"Ugh."
Father Feng shook his head slightly: "The girl has grown wings. She dared to join the entertainment industry and quietly quit her job without telling us. She really wants to fly far away."
"Fly far away? Hang her up and beat her to see if she can still fly." Feng Ma sneered.
It is undeniable that Feng Shiqi is Feng Ma's beloved daughter, but Feng Shiqi's participation in "New Era of Heavenly Group" has touched Feng Ma's bottom line.
Feng's mother was very angry and the consequences were serious.
"Why don't we call them and ask them to come back later?" Father Feng asked tentatively.
Mother Feng shook her head and said, "We have kept it a secret for so long. We can keep it a secret for a week or two. I want to see if my precious daughter will continue to keep it a secret from us after this show is over."
Just as he said this, the melody of "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" suddenly sounded in the living room.
"Cut for a while and time will flow slowly"
"Flowing into the moonlight and rippling slightly"
Hearing her precious daughter's voice, Mother Feng sneered, picked up the phone and answered the call with a different tone.
"No need for the front row, sit a little further back."
"Yes, two seats connected together."
"Thank you~ Bye~"
The call ended quickly. With Father Feng looking at her in confusion, Mother Feng said, "Book a flight to Linjiang. We'll go to the finals in person to listen to it."
