Chapter 209: A Sure Thing to Give Away

War preparation room.

Suning looked at the broadcast screen with a serious expression.

I can only say that Jessica is worthy of being the youngest Grammy singer winner, and her debut stage performance on "The Voice 2024" was perfect!

The eye-catching changes in tone, the non-stop high notes, the effortless stage style, and the absence of any mistakes, all these performances made the audience applaud.

The number of people online in the live broadcast room also increased as Jessica sang.

Looking at the soaring live broadcast data in the background, Li Xiao's face was full of joy.

"It's really worth the time and effort I spent to find this girl!"

……

Studio scene.

At the end of the song, Jessica bowed slightly to the audience.

There was a sudden burst of deafening applause and cheers at the scene, and netizens in the live broadcast room gave continuous praise.

[What is an audio-visual feast? This is a real audio-visual feast! ]
[After watching Jessica's performance, I suddenly felt that the chaebols in Corea were no longer worth mentioning!]
[It turns out that the people who enjoy life the most are the residents of America!]
"Thank you Jessica for the wonderful performance. Could you please come over here and take a seat?"

On the other side of the stage, He Ling held the microphone and spoke in a gentle tone.

Jessica walked with her long legs to the waiting area and took a seat. He Ling also continued to introduce the competition system to everyone.

"Tonight's 1v1 team match will be voted after all the PK contestants have finished their performances, so...

Next, we would like to invite Jessica’s opponents, Bird and Fish, to bring you their wonderful performances!

Everyone welcomes you with applause! "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was loud applause and cheers from the audience.

Amid the brilliant lights, Su Ning in a black suit and Qiao Xi in a red dress walked onto the stage together.

The waiting area at the edge of the stage.

Jessica crossed her legs, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Su Ning and Qiao Xi with interest.

“The audience seemed to like them both very much.”

Jessica blinked and raised her feet involuntarily.

She didn't feel any pressure, but wanted to see how strong this duo called Aska and Fish were.

Since Jessica's waiting area was only three or four meters away from the audience seats, her every move was clearly visible to some of the audience.

"Why are we still looking at birds and fish? Is Jessica not pretty?"

"That's right! Jade feet, jade legs, jade high heels..."

"Sister steps on me!"

"Brother, wake up! Your saliva is about to flow out! When the live broadcast camera cuts to you two, you will be socially dead!"

"Social death is social death! I will just start live streaming and selling products!"

"Yue~ So disgusting, so disgusting!"

Some audience members who were closer to Jessica were discussing in low voices, and even the stage of birds and fish could not attract their attention.

Tonight, Birds and Fish sang a song they wrote and released many years ago called "Miracle".

The theme of the lyrics expresses people's determination to bravely move forward and constantly pursue miracles for love and faith despite the twists and turns and challenges of fate.

It’s a song full of positive energy.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched the performance of Birds and Fish and expressed their opinions from time to time.

[I haven't listened to this song for a long time. Now I listen to it again and it makes me want to cry!]
[Thanks to Birds and Fish, if it weren’t for this song “Miracle”, I wouldn’t be who I am today! ]
[Birds and Fish use this song "Miracle" to tell us a truth - everyone is their own miracle! ]
The song ended quickly, and after a very affectionate look between Su Ning and Qiao Xi on the stage, the two completed the night's performance.

Their performance was also perfect, with almost no flaws.

"Su Ning and Qiao Xi really become stronger when facing a stronger opponent! They are both in top form tonight!"

"What do you mean they become stronger when facing a stronger opponent? Isn't it just a casual stage performance? Don't be so exaggerated."

"That's right! It's as if the birds and fish are not as powerful as Jessica. They become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. It's so funny!"

"So how do we vote later?"

“This is really a difficult choice!”

Amid the deafening applause, many audience members talked a lot.

“Thanks to Birds and Fish for bringing us this wonderful performance!”

In the waiting area, hosts He Ling and Hai Quan brought Jessica back to the stage.

Haiquan looked towards the audience seats in front of the stage and said in a calm tone:
"Tonight's voting method has undergone some minor changes. Instead of the 1001 audience members voting on the spot as before, it will be voted by 101 KOL key opinion leaders."

He Ling said: “So where are these 101 KOL key opinion leaders? They are… right here!”

He pointed with his right hand, and a white light fell on the audience seats right in front of the stage.

All 101 KOL key opinion leaders stood up and greeted everyone.

The camera swept across and their faces appeared in the live broadcast.

[I was wondering why that girl looked so familiar, it turned out to be Xingxingzi!]
[Isn’t this Ding Sheng? He’s here too!]
[Oh my god! So many music critics, this KOL lineup is something!]
[This will finally prevent those fanatics from voting randomly! ]
[Indeed! When the tide recedes, you’ll find out who’s been swimming naked!]
[I know who it is, but I won’t tell you!]
[Since you don’t say it, then I won’t say it either!]
[The program team deserves a reward!!!]
After seeing that the people in charge of the voting process were all professionals, many netizens were delighted.

on the stage.

The host He Ling smiled and said, "Tonight, which of the two stages impressed you more, Jessica or Birds and Fish? Please invite the 101 key opinion leaders present to make your choice!"

As soon as the words were spoken, 101 key opinion leaders began to vote.

Many people made their choice at the beginning without any hesitation.

Although there were some hesitant contestants, they made their choices after a little hesitation.

In front of the computer screen.

Su Caitao was explaining to her fans in her live studio with a wry smile: "In fact, the program team also invited me to be a KOL, but I didn't pass the questionnaire they gave me.

Do you know why? "

At this point, Su Caitao covered her mouth and tried to hold back her laughter:
"The last question in the questionnaire is - no matter what the stage of Fenghuang Yufei is, will you choose to support them unconditionally?

I will definitely answer "yes" to this question. Do I need any reason?

Then... I was eliminated."

After saying this, Su Caitao couldn't help laughing.

This is especially true for fans in the live broadcast room.

[It's difficult!]
[My sister Taotao is awesome! This is exactly how I imagined you to be!]
[What a fool! This is simply missing out on a great viewing spot for the "Singing 2024" stage!]
In Su Caitao's live broadcast room, laughter rang out one after another.

However, in the official live broadcast room, many viewers were on high alert.

Soon, the voting results were delivered to He Ling. He glanced at Fei Niao, Yu Yu and Jessica beside him, then moved away from each other and opened the envelope containing the results.

After taking a look at it, he closed the letter again.

The atmosphere was very tense during the whole process. Suning couldn't help but clench his hands on his thighs into fists, watching He Ling's every move intently.

The same is true for Qiao Xi.

It wasn't just the two of them who were nervous, but also countless spectators and Ding Xin, Liao Bei and their group in the preparation room.

"Birds and fish!" "Birds and fish!"

I don’t know which audience member shouted, but more and more audience members began to shout the four words “Birds and Fishes”.

Hearing these calls, He Ling, who has been in the hosting industry for many years, suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

He raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

“I’ve already seen the result.”

He Ling returned to Bird and Fish and Jessica, "So, the winner of the first round of the team competition tonight is...

Jessica!
Congratulations to Jessica for winning the first foreign singer's victory!"

After the words were spoken, the scene became inexplicably quiet.

But soon, the silence was broken by the audience who were closer to the waiting area.

"Jessica! Aaaaaahhhh!"

"Jessica I love you!"

"Jessica is invincible!!!"

The voices of these fanatical fans were like sparks, and soon the whole audience burst into applause and cheers congratulating Jessica on her victory.

[Huh? The birds and the fish actually lost?]
[Swimming naked! Hahahaha! It turns out that the ones swimming naked are this bird and this fish!]
[After all, fish swim naked, right?]
Many fans of Birds and Fish were dumbfounded.

I just got first place last week, and I lost as soon as I came here this week?

Is the production team doing something shady?

Some netizens who were unhappy with the flying birds and fish began to mock them mercilessly.

……

“Lost???”

On the stage, Suning stood there somewhat woodenly. He didn't quite dare to believe the result, nor did he quite dare to face it.

As lively as the news on Weibo last week about Bird and Fish winning the championship was, as ironic was the news this week about them losing to Jessica.

Noticing that something was wrong with him, Qiao Xi took his arm and said:
"Victory and defeat are common in the military. We were not prepared this time, so we can win next time."

On the other side, Jessica, who heard that she had won, smiled sweetly and blew a kiss to the audience.

Such a lively and cheerful personality once again aroused discussion among many viewers.

"This girl...I really like her!"

"As expected of a girl from America, she's quite bold!"

"I can't find any flaws in her, she's too perfect!"

After Asuka, Fish and Jessica left the stage, Haiquan held up the microphone and said:

"In tonight's team competition, foreign singers took the lead, so our Chinese singers need to work harder!
Then, they entered the second round of 1v1 duels, and the first to appear this time was a Chinese singer.

As a representative figure in the Chinese singer camp, who will Ding Xin arrange to appear in the second round?
let us wait and see! "

……

War preparation room.

Since returning here, Suning has turned off the microphone with a bad look on his face, sitting on the sofa without saying a word, and is completely different from before.

Liao Bei patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Xiao Su, there is nothing we can do about this. No matter which of us plays Jessica tonight, the result will probably be the same. This is not your problem, don't you know?"

After saying this, Liao Bei gave Bai Xingjian a look.

Bai Xingjian, who was stunned for less than a second, understood what he meant and said, "Brother Bei is absolutely right. It's really hard to beat Jessica tonight. No matter which of us faces her, we have no chance of winning."

What Liao Bei said had no effect on Suning, but it was completely different when Bai Xingjian said it.

As expected, Suning's eyes finally regained some light. He looked at Bai Xingjian and said:

"Really? Even Fenghuang Yufei and Jessica may not be able to win tonight?"

When these words were spoken, except for Suning himself, almost everyone present had a frown on their foreheads.

In order to create a good atmosphere in the preparation room, Bai Xingjian nodded and said, "It's not that we may not win, but that we will definitely not win."

Anyway, Jessica has already finished the competition, so it doesn't matter what she says.

"Yeah! Jessica was really great tonight." Suning nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the camera cut to the preparation room.

Ding Xin stood up from her seat at the right time and said to everyone with a smile: "Then I will go to perform first, everyone~ wait for my triumphant return!"

"Come on, Sister Xin!"

"Take it down!"

“Looking forward to Xinjie’s new song!”

Everyone also stood up to see Ding Xin off.

Before leaving, Ding Xin gave Bai Xingjian a look.

Bai Xingjian smiled politely, and Gu Zetao also caught the little movements between the two of them. He smiled and asked:

"Xingjian, I have a bold idea. The new song that Sister Xin is going to sing tonight wasn't written by you, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Su Ning, Qiao Xi, and Liao Bei immediately focused on Bai Xingjian again.

Feng Shiqi also looked at him with a smile on her face.

There was actually no need to hide this matter, so Bai Xingjian nodded and replied, "Yes, I wrote it."

Liao Bei suddenly realized: "I was wondering why she was hesitating about the song she sang tonight. It turns out you wrote it. Now it all makes sense!"

Liao Bei sighed again: "At this age, Ding Xin still asks you for new songs. It seems that she still has some hope!"

As soon as Ding Xin left, Liao Bei seemed to open up and started talking without restraint.

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and a group of young people also found it very interesting to listen to Liao Bei's narration of some old stories.

……

In the studio, Ding Xin slowly walked out from the stage aisle.

The audience burst into roar and applause.

"It's Ding Xin indeed!"

"If you have the right to choose, you should send weaker singers to the stage first, so that they have a better chance of winning."

"It seems that Ding Xin is quite self-aware!"

"So who will she challenge? Shantimo? Vanshia? Park Ji-jae? Or Mars?"

Amid countless expectant gazes, Ding Xin stated her choice of opponent expressionlessly:
"Shantimo."

Seeing that Ding Xin chose her as her opponent, Shantimo didn't feel anything strange. Instead, her eyes revealed a bit of admiration.

"You have courage, you have courage!"

In Shantimo's eyes, Ding Xin and she are not on the same level.

Many netizens share the same idea.

[Choosing Shantimo as your opponent? Xinzi, you are a little out of your mind!]
[Isn't this just giving yourself away?]
[Then tell me who Ding Xin would choose if she didn’t choose Shantimo? Is there anyone other than Shantimo who is more suitable for Ding Xin?]
[No need to compare, just 2:0!]
