Chapter 222 Booing
At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, the new episode of "The Voice of China 2024" officially started live broadcast.

Recently, the hot searches about the guests related to "The Voice of China 2024" have been making headlines on Weibo. With the addition of Jessica, the youngest female singer in American history, "The Voice of China 2024" can be said to be unprecedented.

As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, countless long-awaited viewers rushed in, and the barrage of comments covered the screen like heavy snow.

[Sofa sofa! ]
[Let’s make this week’s team competition more intense! ]
[Jessica go go go!]
[Come on, Ji Jae-oppa! Try to win first place tonight!]
On the gorgeous stage, He Ling and Hai Quan, dressed in neat suits, came to the center of the stage amid the enthusiastic applause of the audience.

The two began their opening speeches with smiles on their faces.

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the live broadcast of the 2024th episode of "The Voice of China ". I am He Ling, the host of tonight."

"I am tonight's host, Haiquan..."

Many netizens widened their eyes when they heard the word "Thirteenth Issue" from He Ling.

[No? Is "The Voice 2024" already in its 13th episode? This is totally different from before!]
[You just discovered it???]
[This season of "The Voice of China" is different from the previous ones. Did we have group competitions? Were there competitions for revealing the winners and for rushing to the top? No! So it is understandable that "The Voice of China 2024" has not ended after the 13th episode]
[It seems so…]
While netizens were discussing this, He Ling also announced the competition format for this round of team competition.

The basic rules remain the same as in the previous issue. The singer from one camp chooses the singer from the other camp to compete, and the chosen camp cannot refuse.

The winning side will accumulate 1 point for its camp.

The points generated by the camp will be measured in units of 1. One point can eliminate any singer from the opposing camp, two points means two people, and so on.

When a singer in the camp is facing elimination, one point can be used to cancel the singer's current elimination. If there are no points, it cannot be canceled.

After the competition system was announced, the audience at the venue and netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned.

Suddenly there was an uproar.

"Oh my god! Is the production team going to do something so big?"

"Then according to this rule, if a foreign singer wins five games in a row, wouldn't that mean all the Chinese singers will be eliminated?"

"That's right! The same logic applies!"

“This is simply hurting each other!”

"That's really amazing. With this rule in place, we estimate that at least one singer will be eliminated in each episode."

"But Teacher He didn't seem to say that points must be used, right? Logically speaking, the points earned from each live broadcast of such a points competition can be accumulated."

"It seems to be the same..."

The audience was talking about it, and the camera switched to the singers in the preparation rooms of the two camps. Everyone's expressions were surprised, confused, fearful, etc.

"The program crew is suddenly making things difficult for us!" Liao Bei smacked his lips, a little surprised by this competition system.

He glanced at everyone and said, "It seems we can't act rashly this week."

One point means a chance to eliminate an opponent or save one of his own. Liao Bei feels that he can no longer take the risk of challenging Mars Brother like he did last week.

Gu Zetao also spoke up: "Director Li told me that this week's competition would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult."

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi nodded in agreement. They naturally also received the reminder from the program team.

Suning, on the other hand, is sitting on the Diaoyutai: "If the enemy comes, the general will stop him; if the water comes, the earth will cover it. This competition system just sounds intimidating, but it is not that scary in fact."

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't this scary? At least one singer will be eliminated. Isn't this scary?"

Ding Xin smiled and said, "If there is a spot for elimination in our camp tonight, then I will take up the spot first."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Liao Bei raised his eyebrows: "Why are you panicking? Do you have no hope for us? Besides, Xiao He's relevant rules haven't been announced yet, don't think too much."

"That's it!"

Qiao Xi said in agreement.

At this moment, He Ling on the stage also began to add more rules.

"The points earned can be retained..."

Upon hearing this, the singers from both sides in the preparation room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the next second, their expressions became solemn again.

"But at least three points must be used in each live broadcast, and the camp with more points will be the first to use their points after all performances are over..."

He Ling explained the rules in detail, leaving no loopholes.

[So, if one side eliminates the singer and the other side rescues the singer, if you don’t want any singer to be eliminated during a live broadcast, you have to use at least 4 points, right?]
[To use 4 points, both parties must have sufficient points.]
[Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand a thing.]
[My scalp is itchy, I feel like I'm going to grow a brain]
[Oh, it’s so complicated. You’ll know how to play the points game after watching the live broadcast.]
[That’s right! I can only say that the point usage part will definitely be very dramatic!]
After announcing all the rules, He Ling let out a long sigh and made a small joke:
"I don't know if the audience understands the rules of tonight, but even if they don't, it doesn't matter. We just need to enjoy the wonderful performances brought to us by both camps."

There was a rustling sound of uproar at the scene.

"So which camp will the first singer to perform tonight belong to?"

Haiquan's tone was filled with suspense, and then he said decisively: "This privilege will be decided by the camp of the singer who ranked first last week."

He Ling said: "Please tell me the name of the singer who ranked first last week?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed the microphone towards the audience.

The audience at the scene naturally did not forget, and they shouted out the four words "Phoenix Flying" loudly.

Haiquan smiled and said, "That's right! Then we'd like to invite Fenghuang Yufei's Chinese singer camp to send out their first singer tonight. Who will it be?"

After he finished speaking, the camera cut to the preparation room where the Chinese singer was.

Gu Zetao, dressed in trendy clothes, was the first to stand up from his seat. Soon, singers such as Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi, and Liao Bei also stood up to see Gu Zetao off.

In such a short time, they didn't have time to discuss anything. After Gu Zetao said that he wanted to play with Park Ji-jae, everyone agreed that he could go out first.

Seeing Gu Zetao appear in the center of the live broadcast screen, his fans also began to cheer for him.

[Go! Taotao!]
[Get your first win! Earn points!]
[Last week I won against Vanxia by luck, this week I will definitely be beaten back to my original form]
[It’s so funny, luck is also a part of strength, okay?]
As soon as Gu Zetao, a popular singer, appeared on the stage, the comments in the live broadcast room became lively.

The same rules as last week's live broadcast, when Gu Zetao came to the center of the stage, he said the name of his chosen opponent:
“Park Ji-jae.”

After being surprised for a while, the audience felt that his choice was reasonable. After all, among all the singers present, Gu Zetao and Park Ji-jae are a close group, and everyone wants to see who will win in the duel between the two.

As for Park Ji-jae, he didn't feel anything special when he learned that Gu Zetao chose him as his opponent.

Whom to choose is not a choice?
That's it.

But despite this, Park Ji-jae's expression still looked a little gloomy, as if he was worried about something.

The lights on the stage kept flashing, and accompanied by the warm cheers of the audience, Gu Zetao came to the center of the stage.

Tonight he performed a more lyrical song, which was quite a test of his singing skills.

But what surprised everyone was that Gu Zetao sang a new song this time. When they saw the title of the song, those fanatical fans seemed to be going crazy.

[Aaaaah! It’s actually a new song!!!]
[Oh my god! This is so wonderful!]
[Did you learn bad things from Bai Xingjian? Singing new songs on stage without releasing any materials?]
[666! My suggestion is to get more!]
[So can we hear new songs at the next concert?]
The live broadcast room was in an uproar, but the scene was very quiet.

Some of Gu Zetao's fans at the scene had their faces flushed because they couldn't cheer loudly.

Under countless expectant gazes, the music flowed out, and Gu Zetao raised the microphone and sang softly.

The soft and pleasant melody, gentle and harmonious voice, and emotionally delicate lyrics made many audiences in the scene involuntarily immersed in the mood of the song and feel a different Gu Zetao.

When the song ended, many audiences were still immersed in the music.

Some of the more eccentric audience members looked at Gu Zetao on the stage with surprise.

"This guy can actually sing ballads really well?"

"Amazing! Gu Zetao actually has this style! He really hides it well!"

A girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University.

Wang Pei Ni stared at the computer screen with wide eyes, and asked in surprise: "When did Gu Zetao change his style? Has he ever sung a ballad like this before?"

"He has sung it, but that was more than ten years ago when he first joined 4eVERX."

Liu Yue answered this question. She knew Gu Zetao quite well. She raised her eyebrows and continued:

"But this new song can indeed be said to be a change of style for him. After all, he hasn't sung a ballad in a long time. It's really refreshing."

"Gu Zetao did sing well, but this song isn't really suitable for a competition, is it? After all, his opponent is Park Ji-jae, so I don't think he has much chance of winning."

Rossi expressed his opinion.

"maybe."

Lai Jie shook her head: "The 101 KOLs at the scene did not choose the stage based on whether the song was gentle, lyrical, or agitated, but examined it from multiple aspects such as the degree of compatibility between the song and the singer, and the overall effect of the stage. So whether the song is suitable for the competition is not that important."

……

After Gu Zetao finished his performance, he exchanged the stage with Park Ji-jae.

As a singer who has been widely criticized on the Internet recently, when Park Ji-jae appeared on the stage, boos were heard at the scene, which was extremely rare.

Although the booing lasted only a few seconds, it still surprised many people.

Gu Zetao, who was waiting in the waiting area at the edge of the stage, had a stunned expression on his face.

Although he knew that the audience booed for the Chinese artists who had recently been hurt in Corea, he was still surprised that the audience could be so direct.

But why does this feel a little bit refreshing?

[Huh? Is that a boo?]
[Well done!]
[What goes around, Park Ji-jae, weren't your fans so arrogant in Corea? Are you dumbfounded now?]
[This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!]
[What a pity, no one in the audience threw rotten eggs]
[How can you say that? Those who are targeting him are not fans of Park Ji-jae at all, okay? Please don’t confuse right and wrong! ]
Many netizens in the live broadcast room laughed, but Park Ji-jae's fans were a little annoyed by the boos, and some of those with hot tempers started cursing directly in the live broadcast room.

They said the audience had no manners and were not worthy of being there.

Some netizens responded: "KRD is really a lot! Besides, we just booed and didn't fight. If we really fought, everyone's spitting would drown Park Ji-jae!"

Backstage center.

Li Xiao, the chief director of "Singing 2024", frowned and asked the staff in charge of the audience:

"Xiao Zhou, have we designed this link before?"

Xiao Zhou was quite flustered when asked: "No, Director Li, how could we let the audience boo the singer? This was absolutely spontaneous from the audience."

"alright."

Li Xiao waved his hand, signaling Xiao Zhou not to panic.

Hong Yang at the side smiled helplessly and sighed: "Our show is going to be full of topics again this week."

However, Park Ji-jae was not affected by the boos and even felt a little proud.

Because before the live broadcast started tonight, Kim Hyun-eun had given him a shot of prevention.

Besides, the boos from the live audience were nothing compared to the boos from the audience in Corea.

Park Ji-jae was once an artist who was subjected to the "Black Sea", and the current boos have no effect on him at all.

He walked calmly to the center of the stage, stood back, bowed expressionlessly to the audience, and then began to sing.

This neither humble nor arrogant look also made his fans feel distressed.

[Our Ji Jae Oppa is so dedicated, the audience should just be happy! ]
[Come on Ji Jae-oppa! Give those people a slap in the face with your amazing performance!]
[Ji Jae Oppa, go go go!]
The live broadcast room was soon filled with cheering comments from fans.

War preparation room.

Seeing Park Ji-jae performing very smoothly on the stage, Ding Xin couldn't help but praise him:
"He is a very brave player. He was not affected at all."

Liao Bei sneered: "Is he so generous? There are only so few people here. If tens of thousands of people boo him together, he can still maintain his current state, which is good enough."
