Chapter 96 How to lose the national theme?
on the stage.

Lin Qingying and Qiao Xi made their choices, and the eliminated teams were the Crazy Team and the Three-Colored Flower.

Members of the two groups gave farewell speeches one after another.

After they left, before the remaining members of Lin Qingying Team and Asibird and Fish Team could feel sad, Sanshui brought all the members of Gu Zetao Team and Xu Wenzhou Team back to the stage.

Because there is one less member in the combination, the number of people in Lin Qingying's team and Gu Zetao's team forms a more striking contrast.

The camera also gave a close-up at this moment.

The difference in status and number of members on both sides immediately appeared before everyone's eyes.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room floated by like heavy snow.

"The members of Lin Qingying's team all looked serious. On the contrary, the boys from Gu Zetao's Thorn Youth Group were laughing happily."

"How can I not smile happily after winning the game? I smile even more happily."

"You made it sound as if the Thorn Youth Group won today. Even with Gu Zetao's home advantage, they still couldn't beat Phoenix Yufei. I think they are doomed!"

"So what if we didn't beat Fenghuang Yufei? We won by a large margin and even made you eliminate one of your groups. Are you angry? Are you angry?"

"You seem quite proud of yourself. You are really like an old lady crawling into bed. I am so amused by you."

The topic mainly focused on the two teams of Lin Qingying and Gu Zetao. When netizens were still arguing, Sanshui began to hold cue cards and announce the competition rules for the next live broadcast.

"For now, the first round of the team PK competition has ended, but this is just the beginning."

Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Sanshui said in a clear voice: "Next, the program will have the second round of team PK competition - team theme limited competition!"

The contestants on the stage were not surprised to hear this rule, because in the previous live broadcasts, the program team had conducted a competition with a limited song theme.

This time, the contestants are mentally prepared.

But the program team will not remain unchanged.

When a staff member appeared on the stage pushing a cart with cartons on it, Sanshui held up the microphone and said, "The theme of the songs for the next round of competition is not unique. There will be four themes. As for what the theme will be, it will be jointly drawn by the two mentors who lost today."

Upon hearing this, the contestants couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

Four themes?

Does each team have a theme? Or does each team have four themes?

If it's the latter, then it would be quite difficult!
The contestants' thoughts tend to be more inclined towards the latter.

Because if each team has a theme, then the person who draws the theme should be the mentor of each team.

Of course, there is also a possibility that letting Lin Qingying and the mentors of the Bird and Fish Team draw the prizes would be a consolation for losing this round.

But the possibility of this happening is very low.

Sanshui did not fully announce the rules for the next round of competition, but only asked Lin Qingying to start drawing themes.

"Now, let's invite the instructor of Lin Qingying's team to draw the first two themes for us!"

Amid the applause of the audience, Lin Qingying walked slowly to the cart in high heels and started drawing.

"The first topic is..."

"Popularity!"

Lin Qingying reached into the cardboard box and quickly took out a card. She glanced at the contents and showed it to the camera and the audience.

Sanshui was explaining on the side.

"Okay, Professor Lin Qingying didn't hold the picture upside down, so everyone should be able to see it clearly."

Sanshui made a joke and directly cue himself.

The audience who knew the inside story burst into laughter, and Sanshui also took the theme card from Lin Qingying.

Seeing this result, the contestants' nervousness instantly eased.

It’s so easy to make this theme popular!

Any song can fit this theme, there's no difficulty at all, okay?
"Please invite Teacher Lin Qingying to continue drawing theme cards for us." Sanshui's voice sounded.

Lin Qingying reached into the cardboard box again.

"The second theme is ..."

"LOVE!"

This is another very broad topic.

"Teacher Lin Qingying is very lucky. The two topics she drew are both relatively simple."

Sanshui said with a smile and took the card from Lin Qingying's hand.

The contestants on the stage applauded Lin Qingying.

Simple themes are more friendly to them.

Lin Qingying patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to her team's location.

"Fortunately, I have succeeded in my mission. The theme I drew is quite compatible with everyone."

Lin Qingying whispered to the team members.

Bai Xingjian and the others smiled and turned their gaze to Qiao Xi who was starting to draw theme cards.

"I have a feeling the theme card I drew will be difficult."

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said something to the camera, then reached into the cardboard box and fiddled with it for a while before taking out a card.

"The third theme is..."

"Childhood!" Faced with this result, Qiao Xi spread his hands helplessly.

It was exactly as she expected.

The theme of childhood is a little more difficult than the previous ones of popularity and LOVE.

The audience laughed continuously. Even Suning couldn't help scratching his head. The members of their team were also a little speechless.

Sanshui smiled and said, "This topic is indeed a bit difficult, but the drawing process is not over yet. Please ask Teacher Qiao Xi to draw the fourth topic for us."

Qiao Xi smoothed her hair, reached into the cardboard box in disbelief, and quickly took out a card.

"The last topic is..."

"nationality!"

There was silence for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

The difficulty of the theme of nation is much higher than that of the previous three themes.

Qiao Xi handed the card to Sanshui with a dull expression, then walked towards her team's location without looking back.

It's boring! It's not interesting at all! The production team is definitely doing something behind the scenes!
"Our teacher Qiao Xi seems to be a little emotional."

Sanshui held the theme card and said with a smile, "But we can't blame Teacher Qiao Xi. There are many theme cards. She just happened to draw the 'ethnic' theme. We can only say that our contestants are destined to have this disaster."

Hearing this, the contestants burst into laughter.

Yes, the theme cards are drawn by the mentors, and the consequences are borne by the contestants.

The theme of nation...

Ok?
Think of this.

Many players turned their eyes to Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi from Lin Qingying Team.

Isn’t the song “Above the Moon” that these two sang before a folk song?
"Above the Moon" fits the theme of nation so well!

But they actually sang this song!

And he sang it twice!
Although the song "Above the Moon" sung on the collaborative stage with mentor Lin Qingying still seemed to be not the original version, you can't sing it for the third time, right?

If you sing the same song three times over and over again on the show, you will definitely be criticized by the audience and the program crew!

Many contestants thought so, and some who didn't get along well with Fenghuang Yufei even showed mocking and derisive looks.

Hahaha, you guys just wasted a trump card, right?

What should I do next?

Sensing these gazes, Bai Xingjian stroked his chin, feeling as if a dragon was riding on his face.

If the rules for the next round of competition are to allow team combinations to choose one of these four themes to perform.

He has decided on the theme of "nation"!

Sanshui also began to make the final announcement at this moment: "The four limited themes have been selected, namely pop, love, childhood and ethnicity. The rules of the next live broadcast competition are that each team will assign these four themes to the four groups in the team, and then the team performances will be shown.

The lineup of the duel remains unchanged, it is still Lin Qingying team VS Gu Zetao team, Xu Wenzhou team VS Asuka and Yu team.

Similarly, the team that loses in the second round of the team PK competition will eliminate one of its combinations."

As soon as the rules were announced, the whole audience was once again in an uproar, and the live broadcast room also exploded.

"The duel lineup remains unchanged. Team Lin Qingying is going to be in trouble again!"

"What the hell! What kind of competition rules are these? They know that Gu Zetao's team is very strong, but they still want our Queen Lin to bear the pressure?"

"Yes! We only have four combinations left now! If we lose this round again, won't there only be three combinations left? How can we play?"

"I can only say that the situation of Lin Tianhou's team is really not optimistic. The song "Above the Moon", which fits the theme of 'ethnicity', was used early on in the collaboration stage. At this stage of the show, I'm afraid Yoyo brother has begun to experience a 'lack of inspiration'. Now there is this very difficult theme-limited rule. Even if Yoyo brother still has some in stock, it is probably not easy to match it in terms of theme."

"Yeah, no matter how good Yoyo is, I don't believe he can write a song as good as "Above the Moon" in a week."

"Oh, really, if the production team wants to support Gu Zetao's team, just say so! The songs for the group GoldenCold are all composed by professionals. Even if the limited theme is difficult, I think they can come up with something. The theme of 'ethnicity' is probably specially prepared for GoldenCold, right?"

There was a lot of discussion online, and the contestants on the stage had mixed expressions.

"Four themes and four groups. Does that mean one of our groups won't be able to perform on stage in the next episode?"

"It's possible, but who knows? The host hasn't even announced the specific rules yet. And if four teams compete, it's very easy for the score to end up in a 2-2 tie. How will the winner be determined?"

"Given the nature of the program team, these will probably have to wait until the next live broadcast to be announced. So, do you have any songs that fit the theme of 'ethnicity'?"

"No."

"Neither did we."

"Except for Phoenix Flying, who else can have a song with this theme?"

"That's a bit difficult... Hey! Yaqi, the songs you sing on the show are probably written by teachers Chen Hongzhi and Xu Weiwen, right? How about we let you sing the song with the theme of 'ethnicity' this time?"

The members of Gu Zetao's team were discussing with each other.

Wang Yaqi nodded: "If you really don't have a 'national' theme song, that's fine."

The members of other groups shook their heads, saying that they indeed did not have any songs with the theme of "ethnicity".

Li Zhenxi smiled and said, "Then it's settled. The theme of 'ethnicity' will be handled by us, GoldenCold. The other three themes are up to you guys."

Li Zhenxi's idea is very simple. As expected, Lin Qingying's team will also assign the theme of "nation" to Fenghuang Yufei.

Then, he will be able to face Bai Xingjian again!

In the team PK competition, the Thorn Boys lost to Phoenix Yufei. This time, they GoldenCold are determined to win back!
