Chapter 252 I also want this

[No, the program team, your arrangement is a bit fake, isn't it?]
[It really makes me laugh, Vanxia and Shantimo 1v1... one of these two powerful veterans of "The Voice 2024" must be eliminated?]
[How can the show be effective if we don’t do this? And once the foreign singers are eliminated, this year’s singing king will be our Chinese singers!]
[The production team really had a good plan, and they really haven’t changed their bad habits!]
[After all, a dog will always eat shit, Li Xiao is like this]
Seeing that Vanxia and Shantimo were matched up for a 1V1 duel, many netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately excited.

Backstage center.

There were more and more sensitive word reminders in the live broadcast data. Li Xiao knew that netizens were scolding him in the barrage again.

"But I didn't come up with this lottery result, did I? Do I want to do it this way?"

Li Xiao said helplessly.

In order to restore the reputation of the program which was so popular that netizens closed the Weibo comment section last week, they really did not engage in any shady manipulation in the drawing of lots this time, and just left everything to fate.

As a result, Vanxia and Shantimo ended up together by chance.

But what can we do about it?

"I was a little careless and not fully prepared."

Hong Yang said at this time: "We should have the camera take a good shot of the box containing the colored balls before the singers draw the lots. There is no room for any dark manipulation inside."

Li Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "There is no point in talking about this now, just let them be."

……

Studio scene.

On the stage, Vanxia and Shantimo looked at each other, and a helpless bitter smile appeared on their faces.

"What the hell is going on here?" Vanxia exclaimed in English.

Shantimo sighed, "It's amazing that we can bump into each other."

Fanxia asked He Ling, who was watching the show nearby, "Teacher He, can we take the initiative to change the color ball we draw?"

"This is definitely not going to work."

He Ling smiled and shook his head: "We have to follow the rules."

"Ok."

Vanxia said this with some regret, and then accepted this rather cruel reality together with Shantimo.

He Ling continued in a loud voice: "Okay, next, please invite Liao Bei, who is ranked sixth in the overall ranking, to draw your colored ball."

Under the gaze of countless spectators, Liao Bei raised his hands and clasped them in front of him, prayed, and then walked towards the lottery box.

There was also some noise in the audience seats at this time.

"Shantimo and Vanxia have both drawn the same color ball, so how about Beige draw a red ball and have a 1v1 battle with Fenghuang Yufei?"

"Liao Bei: Thank you!"

"Liao Bei's prayerful look just now might be a prayer that he doesn't have to fight Fenghuang Yufei."

"pretty close!"

The audience were all very curious about what color ball Liao Bei would draw.

Liao Bei didn't let everyone wait too long. He came to the lottery box, reached into the box without saying a word, and took out a blue ball.

He is the first singer to get the blue ball!

Seeing this, Ding Xin, Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi, Gu Zetao, Su Ning and Qiao Xi all applauded Liao Bei for his good luck.

Liao Bei, who drew the blue ball, also smiled excitedly.

His opponent is not Fenghuang Yufei, not Jessica, not Mars Brother.

This is really bad luck, okay?
Liao Bei, holding the blue ball, returned to his previous position. During this process, he smiled and waved to Ding Xin and others.

"Please invite the birds and fish, who are ranked seventh overall, to draw your colored balls." He Ling continued to manage the overall situation.

Although only ranked seventh, Suning and Qiao Xi didn't care much about it.

The two of them looked up at the situation on the field.

At present, balls of all colors have appeared. The one that has not been successfully matched is Fenghuang Yufei, which is red, Jessica is yellow, Mars is orange, and Liao Bei is blue.

"This situation...did Sister Xin and I laugh too early just now?"

Suning muttered to himself, and with a rather nervous mood, he walked to the lottery box and reached his hand in.

[Vancia is with Shantimo, so the birds and fish can’t be with the Phoenix!]
[Liao Bei is actually not bad! ]
[Now, whether the opponent of Bird and Fish is a foreign singer or a Chinese compatriot, the probability is 50-50. Suning and Qiao Xi are in an inexplicably awkward situation now.]
[I can only say that Liao Bei’s luck is really good, as he got the last blue color that was not repeated]
During the process of Suning drawing the ball, the barrage in the live broadcast room was scrolling quite crazily.

Soon, Suning took out a small ball.

Countless eyes were focused on his hands, and suddenly they focused.

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Wang Defa...blue???"

"This, this, this...what kind of weird pairing is this!"

"I said it was Liao Bei! Please call me the Great Prophet!"

"A minute of silence for Birds and Fish and Liao Bei."

"That's reasonable. As compatriots, we should naturally stick together!"

After seeing the blue ball in Suning's hand, the audience was excited for a while.

As the person involved, Suning also stood there in a daze for a while.

But he soon returned to normal.

At the same time, I felt somewhat relieved.

It is always easier for them to fight 1V1 with Fei Niao Yu Yu and Liao Bei than with Fenghuang Yu Fei, Jessica or Mars Brother.

"Brother Bei, it seems we are destined to be together."

After returning to the original position, Suning said to Liao Bei with a smile.

"Indeed, it's all fate."

Liao Bei had nothing much to say about Suning’s draw results. Although it was a little beyond his expectations, that’s just how it is.

Next was Gu Zetao, who ranked eighth overall, to draw the colored balls.

Because there was nothing left to choose from, Gu Zetao had a rather forced smile on his face while drawing the ball.

Then, he drew a yellow ball, which matched Jessica's.

"My luck on The Voice 2024 really ran out the last time."

Gu Zetao sighed, and it felt like his whole body was sighing.

"Keep doing well." Ding Xin patted his shoulder, not knowing whether to comfort Gu Zetao or herself.

At present, only Fenghuang Yufei and Mars Brother are the two groups of singers who have got the colored balls but have not successfully matched. This 50-50 probability makes Ding Xin a little panicked.

[I have thought of a pairing plan with the most bullet comments. That’s right, it’s Ding Xin and Fenghuang Yufei 1V1!]
[It’s very possible! 50% probability, maybe it’s true]
[Tonight’s pairing result is so incredible that I can’t believe the production team is manipulating it.]
[Indeed, it’s a 1v1 between Vanxia and Shantimo, and a 1v1 between Liao Bei and Aska and Fish. Even if Li Xiao is stupid, he shouldn’t have arranged it this way.]
[Li Xiao: Stop scolding me, stop scolding me. If you continue to scold me, I will send you Green Corpse Cold!]
Seeing Ding Xin start drawing lots, many netizens also started discussing it.

After standing in front of the lottery box, Ding Xin took a deep breath, then rubbed his hands before putting his hand into the box.

She stirred it with her hands and there were only two balls left.

Ding Xin picked up a ball, but did not take her hand back. She was hesitating.

"It's okay, there's no rush, Sister Xin, we'll take it slow." Noticing her movements, He Ling comforted her.

From time to time, cheers would be heard from the audience.

Ding Xin smiled, put down the ball in her hand and picked up another one.

Then she was dumbfounded.

The live audience and the comments in the live broadcast room also became particularly excited at this moment.

[Oh my god! Ding Xin actually drew the red ball!]
[666! ! ! ]
[It’s really just the show effect]
[Amazing, awesome! Ding Xin is simply amazing!]
[Fenghuang Yufei VS Ding Xin, will this popularity explode?]
[Hahaha, look at the expressions of Ding Xin, Bai Xingjian, and Feng Shiqi at this moment, the three of them are all stunned]
[The program crew will give us some shots!]
[Give the director a chicken drumstick!]
Various comments expressing surprise filled the entire computer screen.

on the stage.

He Ling blinked in surprise, looked at Ding Xin, then at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

Seeing the stunned expressions on the two young men's faces, He Ling couldn't help laughing and said:

"Congratulations to Ding Xin and Fenghuang Yufei for their successful match, while Park Ji-jae, who was unable to participate in the draw, was automatically matched with Mars Brother."

There was applause from the audience and they cheered.

Backstage center.

Li Xiao is now a little numb with such a draw result.

"How did Ding Xin get drawn together with Fenghuang Yufei? If she is eliminated tonight, won't the popularity of our show plummet?"

"And Gu Zetao too, he actually got together with Jessica..."

"Tonight's game was a bloodbath. I'm sure the popularity of our show will plummet next time."

Li Xiao's tone was full of regret. He had already begun to regret not doing any behind-the-scenes manipulation of the 1V1 grouping.

Judging from the current grouping situation on the stage, Ding Xin and Gu Zetao will definitely be eliminated tonight.

But these two are the ratings leaders of "The Voice 2024"!
Without the two of them, Li Xiao couldn't believe how bleak the live broadcast popularity of "The Voice of China 2024" would be next week.

"How about we have a resurrection match?" Hong Yang on the side suggested.

Li Xiao shook his head: "The resurrection match is too troublesome."

……

"Currently, ten groups of singers have been matched. Next, let's continue to draw lots for the order of performances."

On the stage, He Ling spoke in a neutral tone.

At this time, a staff member came on stage holding a cardboard box and replaced the cardboard box containing colored balls in the center of the stage.

"As for the order of drawing lots, it is determined by the order in which you were matched just now. The last matched group, Mars Brother and Park Ji-jae, will draw first, and the rest will follow in order."

“And the people who are drawn are the singers with the lowest overall scores in the group.”

Hearing what He Ling said, many audience members laughed.

"So this rule is to give those singers who are not so successful a chance to take their fate into their own hands?"

"But why do I feel this is a bit humiliating?"

"Yes, this is naked humiliation!"

"Look at Park Ji-jae's face, it's a little red, it feels like it's getting warm."

"That year, at 28, I still stood like a minion~"

That’s right, as some audience members said, Park Ji-jae was indeed a little red-hot at this time.

He ranked last overall on the stage of "The Voice of China 2024".

So during the process of drawing the colored balls just now, he didn't feel any sense of participation at all. He was like a transparent person during the whole process, just standing there and forcing a smile.

When it came to the drawing of lots for the performance order, he was pulled out again, which was a disgrace.

Which singer has the lowest overall score in the group?

The first singer to draw the performance order, doesn’t it mean that this singer is the singer with the worst overall performance in "The Voice of China 2024"?
Park Ji-jae felt that his dignity was severely trampled upon by the lottery session set up for tonight's "The Voice 2024".

But he could only hold it in now, and forced a smile at the corners of his mouth as he walked towards the draw position with a smile.

This distance of just a few steps is the maximum range of movement for Park Ji-jae when he comes to the stage tonight.

What he pulled out was still a small ball, but this time it was black and had a number label on it, 3.

It's a pretty good order, but it doesn't seem to mean much.

"Congratulations to Mars and Park Ji-jae for drawing the order for the third round of performances!"

He Ling said loudly: "As for the performance order of your group, it will be decided by those with higher scores. Those with lower scores cannot refute it."

After these words were spoken, Park Ji-jae felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife again, and his mentality was about to explode.

So much so that he had a gloomy face throughout the entire process when other singers were drawing lots.

The second singer to draw lots was Ding Xin, and she drew the ball with the number 2.

The third group is Gu Zetao, and the number he drew is 5.

The fourth group, birds and fish, drew the number 1.

The last group received a bye, and Vanxia and Shantimo performed in the fourth round.

After the drawing of lots, the ten groups of singers left the stage and walked towards the singers’ home together.

He Ling and Hai Quan began to control the situation: "Tonight's draw is officially over here. In five minutes, the first round of 1v1 breakout competition will begin. Liao Bei, Fei Niao and Yu, please be ready to go on stage..."

In the stage passage.

Hearing the name of their group, both Su Ning and Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Brother Bei, what do you say? Are you going to sing first or will Xixi and I be the first to sing?"

Suning asked Liao Bei.

They are currently a group of rivals, so naturally they walked together on the way to the singer's house.

"I won't let you two youngsters fight tonight. Let me fire the first shot." Liao Bei said with a smile.

He was not very particular about the order of performances, although there was some advantage in performing later.

"Brother Bei, are you serious?"

Suning was quite pleasantly surprised by this answer.

To be honest, he didn't really want to perform first. After all, the singer who performed first had no advantage in the subsequent voting.

But they, the birds and the fish, have no say in this matter.

Therefore, after hearing what Liao Bei said, Qiao Xi looked over in surprise.

"Of course I'm serious. Let me take the lead later." Liao Bei said with a smile.

"Brother Bei, you are so nice!" Qiao Xi smiled brightly.

"Thank you, Brother Bei!"

Suning was at a loss for words for the moment and could only say thank you.
