Chapter 44: The Indifferent Person (Please Read!)
"Sure enough, Fenghuang Yufei was arranged to be the last to appear. It's really impressive!"

"The finale? The Bowl and Chopsticks Brothers are the finale, right? The last one to appear is called the finale."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Brother Wankuai's life is hanging by a thread today."

"Indeed, their strength is not weak, and they have their own highlights. However, they are still a little behind Fenghuang Yufei."

"This is so funny. Can you Phoenix fans stop being so blindly confident? If you make a mistake and get eliminated, don't cry to your mom."

"What you said... really made me laugh. Just hope that our Phoenix will make a mistake."

"I'm not trying to be offensive, but how can the Wankuai brothers compare to Fenghuang Yufei? In terms of looks? Height? Creative ability? Or something else? Oh, the only thing you guys can win is the number of people. Three people have one more person than two people."

"Stop talking, brother!"

As soon as the Bowl and Chopsticks Brothers came on stage, the live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments, and the fans of both sides were very aggressive, giving a feeling of tit-for-tat.

The fans are disgusted with each other, but the two protagonists treat each other with courtesy.

As they walked out of the preparation room together, Fenghuang Yufei and the Wankuai brothers were more humble than the other, almost saying "please" all the time.

But that was nothing. When Bai Xingjian heard the other person, an uncle who was much older than him, call him "teacher", Bai Xingjian almost couldn't hold it in.

Although it is said that a wise man is a good teacher, he is not really ready to be a teacher.

"Heavy metal rock music, are they using their ultimate moves?"

"..."

"Do you think we have a chance against them on stage?"

"..."

In the waiting area below the stage, Bai Xingjian opened his mouth and tried to chat with Feng Shiqi, but all he got in response was a sidelong, cold look.

Bai Xingjian awkwardly tidied his not-so-messy hair and turned his gaze back to the stage.

The cameraman who was filming the video saw this and couldn't help but smile up.

Young people nowadays are so interesting. They actually had a conflict before the performance, and they still looked so loving. It's really hilarious!
It’s a pity that the director didn’t cut to this shot, otherwise it would have attracted more people. What a pity.

“This rock music sounds so loud.”

"Indeed! Even if you want to burn your boats, you don't have to do this. It's really irritating to the ears."

"I can't appreciate it. I can't appreciate it at all."

“I can only say there is no technique, it’s all emotion!”

In a girls' dormitory at Linjiang Normal University, Liu Yue, Wang Peini, Luo Xi and other girls watched the live broadcast for the first time.

When facing the stage of Bowl and Chopstick Brothers, they reached a rare consensus on their ideas, and so did many netizens in the live broadcast room.

Rock music is considered a relatively niche music genre in China. Most listeners who are not familiar with the core of rock music do not like this type of music very much.

Not to mention heavy metal rock, which is known for its "heavy taste".

The thunderous drum beats, the noisy and roaring guitars, and the hysterical and manic screams of the lead singer, to many listeners, simply sounded very noisy and unbearable.

But for those who like rock music, the style is completely different, and they all gave positive reviews.

“I can’t believe it! I heard thrash metal in New Era!”

"Is this thrash metal? I was wondering why it sounded so cool!"

“This is true music!”

"This song should only exist in heaven!"

However, the people who like rock music are only a minority after all, and their positive reviews did not cause much response, and even had some counterproductive effects.

"Some people actually give positive reviews to such unpleasant and difficult-to-understand music. Are you paid trolls?" "I really can't appreciate such noisy music!"

"Hear, hear, hear, hear!"

Many comments in the live broadcast room are like this, and the attitude of the audience is...

Some audience members who were closer to the stage and didn't know much about rock music had expressions almost the same as those of the elderly people on the subway looking at their phones.

It is difficult for them to resonate with this kind of rumbling, instrumental, and heavily arranged song.

This also resulted in the Bowl and Chopsticks Brothers only getting 127 votes in the voting session after the performance.

Bowl and Chopstick Brothers became the first group whose votes did not exceed 200 in the first round of voting.

Seeing this result, the three members of the group showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces.

In their hearts, if there are not 500 votes on this stage today, there are at least 490 votes.

But now?
Only 127 votes?
Is heavy metal rock music so unpopular with live audiences?

Fortunately, among the five mentors, Xu Wenzhou voted for them, so that the Wankuai Brothers did not suffer a great blow, but this still caused heated discussions among the audience and netizens in the live broadcast room.

"127 votes? So low?!"

"I have a feeling that the 619 vote difference between Galaxy Girl and Misty Elk is going to be wiped out."

"It will definitely be rejected! The first round of votes was so small, and the final votes will probably be halved."

"Actually, there was nothing wrong with the performance of Bowl and Chopstick Brothers, they just chose the wrong song."

"Well, see you in the resurrection match."

In the backstage center, program director Hong Yang wiped his sweat:
"I thought I might fail today, but I never thought I, Hong Yang, would fail because of rock music."

During the performance of Bowl and Chopstick Brothers, the number of people in the live broadcast room dropped sharply. The advantages previously established by the Thorn Boys Group were gone, so much so that he even regretted letting the Bowl and Chopstick Brothers sing first.

"I quite like the song 'Flowers and Guns', but I didn't expect the audience to be so unimpressed."

Lao Lin sighed helplessly. Rock music is the youth of a generation, but also the tears of a generation.

"This song sounded good to me when I was in my twenties, but I don't have that much passion for it now."

Li Yue smiled and said that he also listened to rock music when he was young, but he couldn't stand it when he listened to it again when he got older.

"Just look at the performance of the last two little guys."

Hong Yang sighed, could the Phoenix Flying Stage still attract back the number of people who had just left?

After the voting session ended, the Bowl and Chopsticks Brothers, with sad faces, exchanged the stage with Fenghuang Yufei.

"Let's give a warm round of applause to the last group to perform on stage, Phoenix Flying!"

Amid Sanshui's enthusiastic cheers, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi stepped onto the stage amid the applause and cheers of the audience.

On the way, Feng Shiqi still ignored Bai Xingjian's words, as if she would be a puppy if she paid attention to him.

Bai Xingjian was not affected at all after being humiliated again, and he even felt a little excited.

It’s not because he has any shameful tendencies, but because of his cheap sister’s current state, when she sings later, her emotions will definitely be at their highest level, and the stage effect will definitely be top-notch.

Although judging from the situation on the field, there is no longer much pressure to complete the task, but if we can present a better performance, then why not?

Thinking of this, Bai Xingjian's expression gradually turned cold.

After all, the two people who sang "It's All Love" are both cold people.
