CH 26.1

“…Receive a total of 487 votes from the on-site public judges, taking 12.3% of the total score. The total score is 57.3%. Congratulations, Trainee Jiang Ting, successfully promoted.” He Xi did not pause and announced all the data in one breath.

Jiang Ting walked forward without changing her face.

She could even hear vague discussions behind her.

“The number of votes is too scary.”

“It’s doubled the first place in the boys’ group, Xu Jiayin.”

“I’m convinced, I’m really convinced.”

He Xi handed her the promotion card in the envelope, then smiled: “Congratulations, let’s give your promotion speech.”

Jiang Ting took a deep breath and said after taking the microphone.

“I am very grateful to my national judges who voted for me. To be honest, I was quite surprised because I didn’t expect so many people to like me. I do not have company. My parents left very early. I was an orphan since I was a child and was raised by the dean’s mother. I am very grateful to the dean’s mother and the orphanage that raised me.” This was the first time she responded to the topic of life experience in the competition.

Jiang Ting said very seriously and sincerely. No matter whether it is the previous life or this body, the orphanage she belongs to is quite good. There may be some small conflicts and eccentricities in it, but there is no disgusting filth. In general, living and growing up healthily is the protection of the orphanage’s love for the children.

Jiang Ting died early in her original world. She originally planned to donate half of the money she earned after her debut to the orphanage, but she herself was already dead. She doesn’t know if the news of her death spread, will the dean’s mother be very sad? Those gangsters who love to fight with her, but they can’t pinch her “childhood sweetheart”, can they shed a few crocodile tears for her?

Probably substituting the original experience, Jiang Ting’s eyes were red and tears blurred her eyes.

“I…” She choked up suddenly, and she could not keep the words on her lips.

She exchanged her life for a second chance to survive, but she was also controlled and manipulated by others. Even every part of the competition was a mountain she had to climb. Once she failed to climb to the top, she would die.

How cruel is this?

The weakness, helplessness, and lack of sense of belonging when she first came to another world were mixed with the pressure of wanting to live every day and night, which almost made her breathless. She could not tell everyone and she was suffering from the bottom of her heart.

Shaping characters, calculating shots, for what? Isn’t it just to want to live?

She does not want to die.

Jiang Ting adjusted her mood, facing the camera, said with red eyes.

“Thank you, everyone. Thank you to the fans who supported me. I don’t know how hard you have put in for me who voted so much, sleepless day and night, or other things. But I see your love for me, I see the love you want me to see. I know that you love me. I am very moved and very touched. I will not disappoint your expectations and will continue to move forward.”

“Here, I want to tell my fans who love me, I love you too. We love each other.”

Even though you control my life, I still love you as always, because you have been saving my life.

Jiang Ting bent over and bowed, only a few seconds in front of the camera, but it seemed that in the fans’ hearts, it lasted for half a century.

Especially Jiang Ting’s fans, whoever voted, one by one cried.

Not for anything else, just for what Jiang Ting said. She knows that fans love her, she loves fans, and they love each other. That sentence moved the fans into a mess.

Any fans who have watched the show and have a good impression of Jiang Ting express their heartfelt heartache that they must cast more votes for Jiang Ting next time.

This kind of misery of cooking in person is a means of abusing fans and solidifying fans. Jiang Ting used it with great proficiency.

In her words, it is serious to thank fans, and it is also serious to hope that fans will vote for her.

She does not know the methods of abusing fans and maintaining fans. She is the most “simple and kind” little white flower idol in the entertainment circle, and she tricks a large group of fans into voting for her even crazily.

Jiang Ting took the promotion card and went down.

He Xi announced the ranking of the remaining four people. But he did not know how to announce it during the filming, but the order in the video seemed to be out of order.

“…The national judges vote 296,351 votes, taking 2.2% of the total vote pool. The on-site public judges vote 380, taking 9.6% of the total score. The total score is 11.8%…”

Pan Yujia knew that it was probably her when she heard the on-site data from the instructor He Xi, and her mood was particularly complicated.

Especially compared to Jiang Ting’s 559w votes, can her 29w votes be a fraction of someone else’s?

But before she could envy or even be jealous of Jiang Ting’s votes, He Xi said lightly, “It’s a pity. Trainee Pan Yujia, your schedule stops here.” She was sent to hell.

She was eliminated.

Pan Yujia was chilled all over. With cold hands and feet and under the urging of others, she slowly stepped onto the stage.

Standing next to her instructor He Xi, her head was empty and she was silent for a few seconds before she said with a stiff face.

“I’m sorry for disappointing the fans’ expectations, I…I…” She seemed unable to accept the fact that she was eliminated. “I” for a long time, didn’t say anything, and finally said in a crying voice, “I’m sorry for the support of the fans.”

After a few seconds, Pan Yujia’s emotions stabilized. She wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile, “I’ve also gained a lot from this show. It’s worth it. Goodbye, everyone.”

She finally restrained herself and left the scene with dignity.

The video continues to play. The instructor He Xi continues to announce the knockout.

Zheng Qian, who received 53w votes from the national judges, taking 4.1% of the total vote pool, 354 on-site public judges, taking 9.2% of the total score, and 13.3% of the overall score, was promoted to seventh place.

The smile on Zheng Qian’s face was reluctant. Even if she won the promotion spot, she would not be happy. She did not expect her grades to be so bad.

Especially compared to the national judges’ vote of Jiang Ting, the first place in the girls’ group, Zheng Qian was a little at a loss. She did not know if she should be jealous because of the big gap.

After hastily delivering her acceptance speech, Zheng Qianyi returned to her position in despair and kept peeking at and looking at Jiang Ting. Seeing the other party standing still, holding her head high, she lowered her head in frustration. She wanted to know why the gap between them was so big.

Afterward, there were two people in the girls’ group who had not announced the results of the knockout. One was Li Ling and the other was Lei Yunyun.

Li Ling and her fans almost all feel that she should be stable.

“…The national judges vote 36w, taking 2.7% of the total vote pool; the on-site public judges vote 413 votes, taking 10.53% of the total score. The total score is 13.23%…”

As soon as the data came out, Li Ling felt that she had no problem. The data was only a little lower than Zheng Qian. If Zheng Qian can be promoted, then she has no problem and could be promoted. Not to mention compared with Lei Yunyun, whether it is through audience relationships or live performance, Li Ling has enough confidence to beat the opponent.

The next sentence from her instructor He Xi made her fall into an ice cellar.

“Sorry, Trainee Li Ling, your schedule stopped here.”

Li Ling was stunned, but Lei Yunyun on the side was relieved. She did not express the overly exposed joy that Lin Yu had when he heard Shi Yi was eliminated, but she still could not help but feel grateful that she escaped.

After taking the stage, Li Ling looked at the word “elimination” stamped on the envelope, feeling a little overwhelmed, tears streaming down her face.

Fortunately, Li Ling’s emotional intelligence is not low. When she gave her departure speech, she was very straightforward and free and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

The trainees who can be sent by major entertainment companies to participate in the show have at least been trained on what to say and what not to say.

The appearance of contestant who was eliminated and dissatisfied with the show, at least rarely appeared in talent shows.

Finally, when it was Lei Yunyun’s turn, the instructor He Xi looked at the data above and quickly read it.

“…The national judges vote 903,241 votes, taking 7% of the total vote pool; the on-site public judges vote 247 votes, taking 6.29% of the total score. The total score is 13.29%. Congratulations, Trainee Lei Yunyun, with a good result in eighth place, successfully promoted.”

Lei Yunyun came to the stage and hurried to express her promotion speech. She expressed her joy beyond words, saying that she will continue to work hard and make continuous progress, and will not disappoint the expectations of fans.

The trainees in the audience also lamented that the 900,000 votes of the national judges are worthy of being a “heavyweight” player. The national judges can cast 900,000 votes, they are afraid that a lot of capital has been invested behind it! It’s just that Lei Yunyun was a little disappointed. The score on the spot was dragging her feet, which almost put her in danger, so it’s impossible to be with Shi Yi.

In the video, after the results of the knockout rounds were announced, another commercial was inserted into the program.
