Chapter 259: Still Eliminated
"What kind of magical duel is this tonight?"

"Brother Mars unexpectedly had an accident, allowing Park Ji-jae to pick up a big advantage?"

“What a magical unfolding!”

"But it seems like even if you win in a 1v1, you may not necessarily win, right? What additional condition did Mr. He mention before?"

"That's right. Winning a 1v1 only gives you a chance to break through successfully, but it doesn't mean you will advance directly to the next round."

In a girls’ dormitory of Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini, Liu Yue, Lai Jie and Luo Xi were discussing while watching the live broadcast of “The Voice of China 2024”.

Due to his voice problem, Mars Brother was unable to give a farewell speech. He simply left the studio, stopped all recordings, and went to the hospital for treatment.

Singer's House.

"It's really unexpected that Mars actually has some problems with his voice."

Suning sighed, his eyes fell on the broadcast screen, and he shook his head unconsciously.

Qiao Xi also smiled and said, "I can only say that Park Ji-jae is quite lucky. If Mars played normally, he probably wouldn't have won this 1v1."

"That's true."

Bai Xingjian nodded, quite agreeing with Qiao Xi's statement.

Although the song that Brother Mars sang tonight was not his own, it is also a song that is popular all over the world.

If Mars can fully present his performance in front of the audience, he will most likely defeat Park Ji-jae and win the 1V1 duel.

It’s a pity that there is no if.

Now Mars has left "The Voice 2024", but Park Ji-jae remains on the stage.

"All singers, please rush to the stage immediately!"

"All singers, please rush to the stage immediately!"

Just then, the radio in the singer's house sounded.

Birds and Fishes, Phoenix Yufei, Jessica, and Vanxia all stood up from the sofa and walked towards the stage aisle.

In the studio, the lights are flickering, creating a dreamy feeling.

There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was discussing what the program crew would do next.

"So this is going to announce the format for the successful breakout competition?"

"Didn't these five win the 1v1 duel? Why is there still a breakout competition?"

"Tonight's match is not just about winning the 1v1. It seems like there are some additional conditions."

"..."

Amid the cheers of the audience, Birds and Fish, Phoenix Flying, Jessica and Vanxia returned to the stage and stood with Park Ji-jae.

After everyone arrived, He Ling raised the microphone and said loudly: "Congratulations to our five groups of singers for standing out in tonight's 1v1 group showdown!"

Hearing this, the singers on the stage applauded themselves.

Naturally, the audience at the scene also cheered.

But He Ling suddenly changed the subject and said, "Even though you won the 1v1 group match, it still doesn't guarantee that you will be able to successfully break out of the breakout match."

"Whether you can successfully break through the breakout round tonight depends on the choices of the 1001 audience members present here."

There was an uproar from the audience.

He Ling smiled and continued, "Next, the audience will vote for 5 out of 3, and the top four singers will successfully break through."

"The group of singers at the bottom of the rankings failed to break through."

Hearing this, Park Ji-jae's face suddenly fell.

No, in such a cruel competition system, at the end it is still up to the audience to vote to decide whether the breakthrough is successful?

Then, as a singer who entered this stage by luck, doesn’t he have a disadvantage?

After all, in the eyes of many audiences at the scene, Park Ji-jae shouldn't appear on the stage at this time, right?

Many netizens in the live broadcast room also expressed their discomfort with the audience vote in this segment.

[I never expected that at the end of the breakout competition, the singers’ lives and deaths were still decided by the audience. I thought the production team would come up with something different. It’s really boring.]
[Ah? Is there anything else we can do besides live audience voting? Let the five groups of singers on stage sing again?]
[If that's the case, that would be great!]
[The five groups of singers will have another round. It will probably take another hour for them to finish singing. It’s almost 11 o’clock now. I can’t stand it any longer!]
[No, it’s only 11 o’clock and you can’t stand it? Tomorrow is Saturday and you don’t have to work!]
[Who said no work? Tomorrow is a day off! Do you know what a day off is?]
[Damn, I actually forgot about this. The person who invented the idea of ​​adjusting the day off is really a sm!]
……

"The rule is to choose three from five and then four from five. It looks like Park Ji-jae can only be a runner-up."

After figuring out what He Ling said, Wang Pei Ni couldn't help but observe a second of silence for Park Ji Jae.

To be honest, she actually quite likes Park Ji-jae's rap, and this guy is really handsome, and it would be pleasing to the eyes if he stayed on the show.

Although he didn't get that many shots.

But if she had to swap a group of singers with Park Ji-jae, Wang Penny would rather let Jessica fail to break through than let Park Ji-jae fail to break through.

But this situation is so remote that it is impossible to even think about it.

"What else can Park Ji-jae do if he doesn't run with the singer? Among the four singers, Birds and Fish, Phoenix in Flight, Jessica, and Vanxia, ​​which one is a soft persimmon? Park Ji-jae is the softest among the singers on the stage, and he is not very popular with the audience. He will definitely be the runner-up tonight."

Liu Yue crossed her arms and said with a smile.

"It's such a pity for Brother Mars! I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, his voice would have problems. This is such a pity!"

Lai Jie sighed and said with great regret: "If Huo Xing Ge was still on the stage at this time, the four groups of singers who successfully broke through might have been a bit suspenseful."

"Yes!"

Rossi agreed with Lai Jie's statement, "There's no need to look at the situation now. Park Ji-jae will definitely not be able to break through successfully."

"Well, what if? What if a miracle happens?"

Wang Pei Ni was still a little bit skeptical and prayed in her heart with a tiny bit of hope.

But her prayers were of no avail.

In the studio, the voting session of choosing three out of five ended quickly.

He Ling said loudly: "Next, we will officially announce the four groups of singers who have successfully broken through from the breakout competition tonight. Who will they be?"

"Please look at the big screen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voting results of the audience were displayed on the big screen behind the stage.

1. Phoenix in Flight (25%)

2. Jessica (22%)

3. Birds and fish (20%)

4. Vanxia (19%)

5. Park Ji-jae (14%)

Except for the large difference between Park Ji-jae's vote share and the other singers, the differences between the other four groups of singers were not obvious. [As expected, Park Ji-jae was the last one!]
[Why is it always our Ji Jae Oppa who gets hurt?]
[Hahahaha, I'll give Park Ji-jae a song called "Liang Liang"!]
[The Phoenix is ​​invincible in its flight!]
[Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi rode away straight away!]
[The gap between Birds and Fish and Jessica is not that big, there is still a chance!]
After the rankings came out, there were a lot of barrages in the live broadcast room.

"Let us congratulate the four groups of singers, Fenghuang Yufei, Jessica, Birds and Fish, and Vanxia, ​​for successfully breaking through in tonight's breakout competition!"

He Ling's hearty voice echoed throughout the studio.

As soon as these words were spoken, applause broke out at the scene.

The audience congratulated the singers who had successfully broken through.

Of course, there were also some Park Ji-jae fans who came to the scene and felt sorry for their idol.

"Still can't make it through the breakout?"

“But it’s already very good to be able to get here!”

In a hotel not far from the Mango Broadcasting Building, Kim Hyun-eun watched the live broadcast of "The Voice 2024" and did not feel sad about Park Ji-jae's failure to break through.

Because in her eyes, although Park Ji-jae was eliminated tonight, he at least contributed a perfect stage to everyone, and was extremely lucky to "defeat" Brother Mars. After the show, the popularity will definitely be full.

And these are enough for Kim Hyun-eun.

……

Liao Bei, Ding Xin, Gu Zetao and Shantimo have gathered in the room outside the studio.

Looking at the rankings on the screen, Liao Bei couldn't help but sigh: "If Xiaobai and Xiaofeng can maintain their form, they might really be crowned the king of singing in this season of The Voice 2024."

"Let's not talk about an 80% or 90% probability, but the probability is definitely more than 50%." Ding Xin also said.

Gu Zetao smacked his lips and said with emotion, "If Fenghuang Yufei wins the championship of "The Voice of China 2024" this time, Teacher Bai and Teacher Feng will probably be enshrined as gods. How long have they only debuted?"

Hearing what Gu Zetao said, Liao Bei and Ding Xin couldn't help but recall it.

It seems like the group Fenghuang Yufei has only been debuting for about half a year?
In just such a short period of time, the two of them have almost completely shaken up the Chinese music scene.

This does sound a bit horrifying.

Liao Bei and Ding Xin looked at each other at the same time, and saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

Phoenix in flight is so terrifying? !

Noticing the atmosphere on their side, Shantimo also echoed a few words.

But in her heart, she still believes that Jessica will win the title of King of Singers in "The Voice 2024" this year, and there will definitely be no accidents!
……

After the rankings were announced, tonight’s live broadcast has come to an end.

On the stage, Park Ji-jae was giving his farewell speech in Chinese.

"This guy is actually quite nice. It's obvious that he really respects our country's culture."

"Indeed, if it weren't for his crazy fans, I think Park Ji-jae would be more popular here."

"Just for Park Ji-jae's fluent Chinese, I have to give him a thumbs up. Isn't he better than those celebrities who come to our country to act and make money, but end up not being able to speak a few words of Mandarin?"

"Park Ji-jae is so much better than them, okay? Even though the Corians want to steal everything, they are really dedicated and respectful!"

Many audience members in the auditorium were discussing among themselves, and so were the audience in the live broadcast room.

Because of this elimination, Park Ji-jae actually gained a lot of people's favor.

After his farewell speech, Park Ji-jae walked into the aisle to leave the studio amid everyone's applause.

The four groups of singers who remained on the stage gave him sincere applause.

"Park Ji-jae is eliminated now? So we won't go straight to the finals next time, right?"

Bai Xingjian asked Feng Shiqi in a low voice.

He was a little confused at this time. He originally thought that Park Ji-jae would not be eliminated, but he was eliminated.

Eliminate six groups of singers in one night?
The decisions made by the production team of "The Voice of China 2024" are also quite crazy.

"That should be it."

Feng Shiqi nodded and whispered back, "There are only four groups of singers left. No matter how hard we try, we won't be able to come up with a single winner, right? The next episode will probably be the finals. But let's see if Teacher He and the others will give us some specific details. I can't say for sure."

Feng Shiqi smiled at Bai Xingjian, and then her eyes began to scan He Ling and Hai Quan.

It's a pity that the facts were not as she expected.

As usual, after He Ling and Hai Quan said some polite words, tonight's live broadcast ended.

This situation also made the remaining singers feel anxious.

On the way out of the studio, they were discussing this.

"Who cares? We just need to perform well on stage, whether it's the finals or not."

Su Ning said with a smile, and he looked at Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi:

"I just hope that if there is a lottery next time, our two groups will not be drawn together, otherwise it will be too cruel."

To be honest, Suning would rather PK with Jessica than with Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.

Because in his eyes, now when they, the birds and the fish, face the flying phoenix, they no longer have any advantages, and it is good enough that they are not hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.

“It’s a bit cruel indeed.”

Bai Xingjian nodded and responded: "With so many singers 'killing each other' tonight, the program team should also reflect on themselves."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the production crew likes to watch this kind of thing, and I guess the audience also likes to watch us 'killing each other'." Jessica said with a bright smile.

"No, no, no! Don't ever do this again."

Vanxia also said in her fluent Chinese: "It's better to just finish singing and let the audience vote. 1v1 or something like that is too hurtful."

Because she was the one who eliminated Shantimo personally, even after a while, Vanxia still couldn't recover.

Thinking about it now, she still feels like crying.

Feng Shiqi looked at her and smiled without saying anything. He took Bai Xingjian's arm and walked forward.

"So where are we going? Is there any special link?"

After walking for a while without stopping, Suning gradually could no longer suppress his curiosity.

"I don't know." Jessica shook her head and looked around curiously.

There were staff leading the way ahead, but no one told them what to do next.

But soon, they were led into a room.

And this room was none other than the room where Liao Bei, Ding Xin and other eliminated singers were located.
