Chapter 66 Things change and people change
After Phoenix Flying, the remaining groups took turns to perform on stage.
Just as Tang Tang said, the performance of the Thorn Boys Group this time was not outstanding and the stage performance could only be described as average.
Because the competition theme was restricted, they barely managed to come up with a song that fit the theme.
However, this song was not suitable for the scene, and in the end, it narrowly defeated Roadblock Drift by 7 votes, ranking fourth behind Galaxy Girl.
The Thorn Boys Group finished their performance, which also announced that the live broadcast was about to come to an end.
"Sure enough, we have to deliberately arrange the order of these groups' appearances. This live broadcast is quite reasonable."
In the backstage center, Hong Yang had a bright smile on his face as he watched the live broadcast data curve rising and falling steadily.
Today's live broadcast did not have a dull moment like the previous one.
Having learned from the lessons of the previous episode, the order of appearance of the popular groups was very even this time, covering almost the entire live broadcast.
So the live broadcast data this time has increased a lot, slightly higher than the average level.
"My Fenghuang Yufei is really amazing. This data is outstanding!"
Li Yue glanced at the small spike on the curve chart on the screen, and it was the clip of Fenghuang Yufei's appearance.
He said cheerfully, "Today, we can play "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" again. Lao Hong, please quickly arrange for "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" to be released on Spark Music! I think this song will be the No. 1 song again!"
Spark Music has set up an exclusive section for "New Era of the Heavenly Group". Not counting today's live broadcast, three playlists have already appeared in the section.
Except for the first issue of the playlist where the first place on the list was a song by GoldenCold, the first places on the second and third issue of the playlist were "Flying Freely" and "All Is Love" by Fenghuang Yufei respectively.
Now that the fourth playlist is about to be released, Li Yue feels that Fenghuang Yufei's "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" has a great chance of taking the top spot on this playlist again.
“You’re still at work!”
Hong Yang glared at Li Yue in annoyance, "Watch your cameras carefully, our live broadcast is not over yet, there are still two or three groups waiting to go on stage to sing, don't rush to listen to Fenghuang Yufei's song and cause trouble!"
Hong Yang still remembers clearly the mistake Li Yue made during the first live broadcast.
He didn't expect that Li Yue, who was almost fifty years old, had become a die-hard fan of Fenghuang Yufei.
Although Hong Yang also likes Fenghuang Yufei very much.
There’s nothing you can do about it; the songs sung by these two young people are really nice!
Director Lao Lin glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, then quietly adjusted his Mimi Bluetooth in-ear headphones.
……
When the voting for the last group ended, the studio suddenly became silent.
On the screen, the vote ranking list is frozen.
First, the phoenix is flying.
Second, GoldenCold.
Third, the Galaxy Girl.
Fourth, the Thorn Boys Group.
Fifth, roadblock drift.
Sixth, vertical and horizontal lines.
……
At this point, the number of votes is no longer important; what matters is the ranking.
Because there was no tie, the tutor did not have to decide who would stay and who would go.
The combination at the bottom of the ranking will directly face the situation or risk of elimination.
"All 31 groups have finished their performances. Now it's time to say goodbye."
When Sanshui returned to the stage, his tone was no longer as passionate as before. Instead, it was replaced by a low and helpless tone.
A desolate atmosphere began to spread in the preparation room.
Those groups at the bottom of the rankings have already begun to say goodbye to familiar friends and partners.
"Alas, we are ranked last. I'm afraid we will be eliminated for sure."
“It’s okay to be the last one, but there is still a first one, right?”
"Thank you so much!"
"Don't thank me, I'm fifth from the bottom and I don't look very stable!"
"I feel like it should be 31 to 26, with 5 teams eliminated."
"I thank you even more! Please stop feeling it!" "Then how about 31 to 28, and eliminate 3 combinations."
"That makes sense."
The contestants were discussing, and at this moment, Sanshui's voice rang out:
"Please all contestants return to the stage. The number of eliminated groups will be announced soon."
After these words were spoken, many contestants walked outside with trepidation in their hearts.
Only the members of the group who ranked at the top took a leisurely pace.
"Why does this feel like going to the execution ground?"
"My heart may not be able to bear the thought of carrying out the execution in front of so many spectators."
"Oh, I really envy those groups that rank at the top. They don't have to worry like we do."
"Brother Yoyo, you guys are really amazing! Including today's performance, your group should have won two first places, right?"
"It was just luck."
"Ah! I also want to have the same luck as you, Yoyo brother!"
Not long after, members of the 31 groups returned to the stage and stood from left to right according to their ranking facing the audience.
This time, Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold stood together.
Coincidentally, Feng Shiqi stood on Bai Xingjian's right hand side, while Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun stood on Bai Xingjian's left hand side.
If Bai Xingjian, Wang Yaqi and Lin Hailun were closer, their positions would be exactly the same as Golden Cold before.
Lao Lin and Li Yue, who were concentrating on their work, noticed this and tacitly gave the three of them a close-up.
This scene caused the audience and netizens in the live broadcast room to sigh.
"Damn it! What a shame!"
"Programming team, I advise you to be kind! Don't give me, an old fan of GoldenCold, these unnecessary things!"
"As a ten-year-old fan of GoldenCold, I was moved to tears when I saw this scene."
"I now understand the meaning of the sentence in Chinese class: 'Things have changed, people have changed, everything has come to an end, and tears flow before I can speak.'"
"I can't hold back my tears anymore."
"Take a screenshot bro!"
"Screenshots will be censored, so take a photo. This shot will definitely be on the hot search today!"
Many old fans of GoldenCold were reminiscing, but the person involved was almost sweating from embarrassment.
Wang Yaqi never expected that there would be a day when she would stand next to Bai Xingjian.
It wasn't something she deliberately arranged, they just stood together by chance.
At first she thought it was nothing, but when she saw the images on the big screen and noticed the looks from the audience and the scattered discussions, Wang Yaqi felt uneasy.
In her eyes, she was the cause of the current situation.
Bai Xingjian and Lin Hailun also noticed the program team's camera language at this time, and they both looked up at the screen.
Then, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly, and they smiled unconsciously.
Although both of them laughed, their meanings were different.
Bai Xingjian was helpless as the production team started to adjust the program effects again.
He didn't even think about GoldenCold.
As for Lin Hailun, she was sighing, lamenting that things and people have changed.
Seeing their smiles, Wang Yaqi suddenly felt relieved.
At this moment, Li Zhenxi leaned over to take a look, with a strange look in his eyes and a slightly funny behavior.
Feng Shiqi also raised his hand and quietly poked Bai Xingjian's arm, looking at him with concern in his eyes.
Bai Xingjian shook his head and smiled, indicating that everything was fine.
This shot didn't last too long. When all the contestants on the stage stood still, the camera cut back to normal.
However, the scene of Bai Xingjian and other two people in the same frame was still recorded.
"Yes, Xiaotong, this is how you buy today's hot search."
In the backstage center, Hong Yang's voice rang out again.
