Chapter 251 Drawing Lots
The popularity of "The Voice of China 2024" is particularly high tonight. As soon as the live broadcast room is opened, countless barrages fill the entire screen.

[First, first! Sofa, sofa!]
[After holding back for so many days, can the production team come up with anything good?]
[Just stop being so polite and let things slide. There's nothing interesting to watch. There's no passion at all.]
[That’s right! ]
The lights in the studio are brilliant.

Amid the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience, He Ling and Hai Quan, dressed in suits, walked calmly to the center of the stage and greeted the audience loudly:
"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of "The Voice of China 2024" tonight. I am the host He Ling tonight!"

"I'm tonight's host, Hai Quan!"

After a familiar opening speech, He Ling smiled and said:

"A lot of things happened on our show last week. I think everyone knows what they were. The production team also apologized to the audience. In order to show sincerity, the production team also changed the competition system. The previous team points competition will no longer exist."

As He Ling spoke, there were bursts of uproar from time to time at the scene.

Especially when He Ling said that "the team points competition will no longer exist", there were many cheers from the audience.

Of course, there were also a lot of laughter from the audience.

The live camera captured these scenes clearly, and Li Xiao in the backstage center couldn't help but cover his face.

The segment where He Ling cue this topic was deliberately arranged by Li Xiao.

After all, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it. Speaking out is not only good for the program crew, but also has a good show effect for the audience.

Avoiding the topic and covering one's mouth are not Li Xiao's style.

"Then, next, I will announce the new competition system of "The Voice 2024"."

He Ling glanced at the cue card and said in front of the audience, "Starting from tonight, the Chinese singer camp and the foreign singer camp will no longer exist, and the next competition system will return to the individual competition."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was shocked again.

The singers in the two camps were also a little surprised.

"Ah? The camp is disbanded just like that? No way?" Ding Xin widened her eyes, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

"It seems that the production team was really scared by the netizens' criticism this time, so they made a major change to the competition system."

Liao Bei smiled. It made no difference to him whether the camp was disbanded or not.

"So is it going to be a big fight next? Or will we sing individually and see the final ranking like before?"

Gu Zetao was thinking further ahead. He turned around and looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

If it turns into a big melee, will he have a chance to fight against Fenghuang Yufei?
But he doesn't want to.

"It won't be the same as before. It will probably be a big fight."

Noticing Gu Zetao's gaze, Bai Xingjian said with a smile.

If nothing is changed as before, and the ranking is decided by the audience voting after the ten groups of singers finish singing, the program team will probably be criticized to death again before they can calm the audience's anger.

"That's good, then."

Su Ning smiled, looked at Bai Xingjian and said, "I hope we don't run into each other by then, otherwise, harm..."

He sighed.

The momentum of Fenghuang Yufei is getting stronger and stronger now. Suning really doesn't want to face Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi now.

On the other side, in the preparation room of the foreign singers camp.

After being surprised for a while, the five singers including Shantimo, Vanxia, ​​and Jessica accepted the result calmly.

It doesn’t matter to them whether the camp exists or not, they don’t have a strong sense of belonging to it.

Center stage.

After Haiquan took control of the game, He Ling continued, "Tonight's competition format will be updated to a breakout competition."

"What is the breakout competition? It means that the ten groups of singers from "The Voice of China 2024" will break out of the competition system. Otherwise, the singers will stop tonight and their journey in "The Voice of China 2024" will end here."

After saying these words, He Ling paused, waiting for the audience to burst into enthusiastic cheers.

However, the situation at the scene was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Only the sound of murmured discussions could be heard in the audience, and the occasional uproar that had been heard before seemed to no longer exist.

What's happening here?
Why is it a bit dull?
He Ling blinked, quite surprised by the audience's cold reaction.

"You're talking so seriously. Isn't it going to be like the previous points race? It looks very intense, but in fact it's just a game full of human relationships?"

"Given the nature of the production team, who knows. With so much advertising money, I think the production team can continue to delay the show for as many episodes as they can."

"I don't think so. After all, the impact of public opinion last week was quite serious for "The Voice 2024". In order to restore the reputation of the program, the production team should do something about it."

"I hope Li Xiao can do something useful."

The audience was almost all discussing similar topics.

Seeing no reaction at the scene, He Ling smiled and thought to herself that you guys are so cold now, you have to keep it up later and don't shout out.

He continued: "Tonight's breakout competition will be between the ten groups of singers from "The Voice of China 2024", who will form groups of two and draw lots to form a 1v1 duel."

"After each duel, the 1001 audience members will vote to choose between two options. The loser will be eliminated from tonight's breakout round, while the winner will have a chance to successfully break out."

After the words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

But this silence only lasted less than three seconds, and soon the studio was in an uproar.

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

"Oh my god! What's the situation with this competition system? Ten groups of singers compete 1v1, and the loser will be eliminated from tonight's breakout competition? This... Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right! The program team is going to eliminate five groups of singers tonight!"

"Holy crap! This is awesome! The production team has brought back all the singers who were not eliminated before tonight!"

"Not bad, not bad. This competition system finally sounds a bit sincere."

There was a lot of noise in the audience seats in the studio.

The preparation rooms of the two major singer camps were eerily quiet at this time.

“What the fuck?”

Gu Zetao's eyes were as big as bells, and his tone was full of disbelief: "It's too chaotic, so forget it. Does this mean that five groups of singers will be eliminated tonight?"

“It seems so, but not entirely.”

Liao Bei frowned and said, "Teacher He just said that the winners of the five 5v1 competitions have a chance to successfully break through, but not all of them will succeed. Maybe more than five groups of singers will be eliminated tonight."

"Ah? This..."

Hearing this, Gu Zetao was completely speechless.

Will more than 5 groups of singers be eliminated?
I haven't seen you for a few days. Isn't this a bit too much for the production crew?

"It can be seen that the production team was really criticized this time. This competition system is a drastic change."

Su Ning sighed, his eyes swept over everyone: "I'm afraid there will be a bloody fight tonight."

"I just hope that when we draw lots later, we won't get a singer from the same camp as us. Otherwise, that would be so embarrassing."

Ding Xin also spoke up at this point. "What's the matter? Are you afraid that we'll kill each other? Are you feeling a little bit reluctant when we're eliminated?"

Feeling that Ding Xin was quite confident, Liao Bei couldn't help but ask her, "You look quite confident tonight."

Ding Xin smacked her lips, smiled at Liao Bei and said, "It's actually not bad, it's just that I asked Xiao Bai to sing another song this time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the preparation room suddenly became noisy.

"No, Sister Xin, you are addicted to inviting people to sing songs, right? You actually asked Teacher Bai to invite you to sing again!"

Gu Zetao said indignantly.

When Ding Xin sings the song written by Bai Xingjian, it appears that this Ding Xin is not that Ding Xin, and her state is very fierce!

This has become a recognized fact now.

And tonight, Ding Xin will sing the song written by Bai Xingjian again.

This is simply cheating!
"Hehehe, the production crew specifically reminded me that tonight's live broadcast would be very important. To be on the safe side, I went to ask Xiaobai to sing a song."

Ding Xin smiled, glanced at Bai Xingjian, and said with a little pride.

Gu Zetao also set his sights on Bai Xingjian at this moment, and exclaimed: "Teacher Bai is indeed a creative genius. He was able to write a song for Sister Xin even with such a tight schedule."

"No, no, they are just previous inventory." Bai Xingjian grinned.

At this moment, almost everyone in the preparation room had their eyes on him, making him feel a little embarrassed.

Su Ning sighed and said with envy: "Oh, creative talent is something that cannot be compared."

Just as they were about to continue talking, the broadcast in the preparation room suddenly sounded:
"Singers, please go to the stage for the live lottery session."

Hearing this reminder, everyone in the preparation room smiled and walked out together.

On the way, they were talking and laughing, and did not feel too much pressure because of tonight's competition system.

"Perform well. Maybe tonight will be your last performance in "The Voice 2024"."

"As long as I don't pick you, foreign singers don't matter to me."

"let's work hard together!"

……

Before long, all ten groups of singers came onto the stage.

At this time, a large box had been placed in the center of the stage.

He Ling raised his hand and signaled to the audience to be quiet.

After the audience quieted down, he held up the microphone and explained to everyone:
"In the cardboard box, there are five colored balls: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The ten groups of singers will draw their balls in turn. Two groups of singers with the same color will be paired up as 1v1 opponents."

"As for the order in which the singers will be drawn, they will be ranked according to the performance of each group of singers in The Voice 2024."

He Ling paused and raised his voice: "Okay, next, please invite Fenghuang Yufei, who ranks first in the overall score, to draw your colored balls."

As soon as these words came out, cheers suddenly rang out at the scene:

"Wow! Our Fenghuang Yufei actually ranked first in the overall score?"

“This is too impressive!”

"Fenghuang Yufei is awesome!"

"It really makes me proud to like Fenghuang Yufei!"

The singers on the stage either applauded or looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi with envy.

"You coming or me?"

Coming to the big box, Bai Xingjian asked Feng Shiqi.

"Come on." Feng Shiqi smiled and blinked.

Bai Xingjian didn't waste any time. He just reached into the cardboard box, took out a red ball, and showed it to everyone.

"Oh my, this is a great start!" He Ling said.

There was cheering at the scene.

"Hahaha, a good start, it's a good start."

Bai Xingjian grinned, and his bright smile charmed many female audiences.

A girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University.

Liu Yue still said with some resentment: "Oh no, this is how you should be, Bai Xingjian! Compared to the toilet scene in the MV of "Nobody", the latter is simply unbearable to watch!"

"Oh Yueyue, you are just fussing about it. Bai Xingjian in the MV is devoting himself to art, don't you understand? Can you be more open-minded?"

Wang Pei Ni advised, and then nodded in approval: "But it is true that Bai Xingjian looks better now. The part in the MV was really a bit eye-catching."

Lai Jie at the side smiled knowingly and changed the subject: "So who do you hope Fenghuang Yufei's opponent will be tonight?"

"Jessica!"

Luo Xi reacted the fastest and blurted out, "At present, only Jessica and Mars can compete with Fenghuang Yufei, but Mars is too old, so it would be more interesting to let Jessica and Fenghuang Yufei, who are closer in age, compete against each other."

"But it seems there is no chance..." Wang Penny said.

By this time, Jessica had already drawn her color ball, which was yellow.

Before her, Vanxia, ​​who ranked second in the overall score, drew the green ball.

"You know what, this drawing of lots is quite thrilling." Liu Yue said.

"Yes, some." Lai Jie nodded.

At this time, Mars, who ranked fourth in the overall score, started drawing lots.

Countless people's eyes were focused on him.

"Wow! Brother Mars drew the orange ball!"

He Ling said excitedly: "So far, four groups of singers have drawn colored balls, but still no one has successfully made a 1v1 match. This situation is really a bit strange!"

[Oh my god! Is it so exciting?]
[How low is the probability of this happening? Can any expert give me a guess?]
[What's the point of calculating? I can only say that the probability of this happening is pitifully small. This program team is manipulating things behind the scenes again.]
[Indeed, I guess the person who comes up to draw lots later will only draw the remaining blue. After all, only in this way can a 1v1 with a good show effect be arranged.]
[If it's not what you said, how can I say it?]
[What do you mean? If it's not like this, then Li Xiao will eat shit]
[Dude, that’s so true!]
Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking about it, and the drawing of lots was so thrilling that many people watched it.

"Next, please invite Shantimo, who ranks fifth in the overall score, to draw your colored ball."

As He Ling spoke and under the gazes of many people, Shantimo came to the cardboard box and took out a small green ball very steadily.

? ? ? ? ?

The moment he saw the color of the ball, Vanxia froze in place, his face full of surprise.

On the other side, Ding Xin and Liao Bei had a barely perceptible smile on their faces.
