Chapter 71: Liangfen Assemble! Protect Zhang Liangying!
“Who do you think will be in the PK?”
“It’s definitely not Zhang Liangying.”
“Haha, if Zhang Liangying is on the PK Stage, I’ll eat my TV.”
“I feel like Ji Minjia has the lowest popularity, it’s always her.”
“It would be best to send Li Yuchun up too, I get annoyed just seeing her, she just knows singing and dancing, maybe she’ll even rap in the future…”
“……”
Thousands of families watching the live broadcast were discussing the Super Girls.
There were words of encouragement, gossip, and criticism~
Everyone was enjoying themselves.
……
On the live TV broadcast.
Hei Nan adjusted his suit and began his commentary.
Actually, before today’s competition, Wang Peng had already spoken to Hei Nan, asking him to look out for Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, and He Jie.
Additionally, he was asked not to praise Zhang Liangying excessively and to preferably send her to the PK Stage.
It was outrageous…
They wouldn’t even let him speak freely!!
This was not a pleasant way to earn a living.
Given Zhang Liangying’s performance just now, which judge would dare to openly target her?
How much money did they take?
If Zhang Liangying were to be eliminated unfairly, their reputation would be ruined.
“First, I will comment on He Jie.”
As soon as Hei Nan finished speaking, He Jie’s fans and family erupted in cheers.
“Everyone is so enthusiastic!”
“I really want to go out and buy an ice cream to cool down right now. He Jie’s performance tonight was too passionate, she did an excellent job in this aspect.”
Time was limited, so the commentary on He Jie ended there.
Hei Nan didn’t say much more.
If he continued, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself, and if he pointed out a few flaws, Wang Peng would surely start complaining again.
“Next, let’s talk about No. 04, Ji Minjia!”
“Minjia sang ‘Mongolian People’, and I actually heard the flavor of a Morin Khuur. It’s truly remarkable. Your singing skills have improved so much since last year. You must continue to maintain this momentum.”
Ji Minjia had participated in the 2004 Super Girl competition but only placed fourth in the Chengdu region, failing to advance to the National Competition.
Hei Nan was now commenting on her singing skills, and given Hei Nan’s personality, he was certainly satisfied with Ji Minjia.
“Next up is Zhang Liangying!”
“Your performance tonight was as brilliant as ever. Especially this original song, ‘It’s Blowing’, which for a moment, took me back to my university days.”
“I won’t offer too much praise, as the audience of Super Girl already knows your strength…”
“For a powerhouse like you, my only suggestion is to further refine your singing skills comprehensively. Although you are already very good, there are still some areas for improvement.”
Hei Nan smiled and nodded, preparing to comment on Zhou Bichang.
……
Meanwhile, many viewers in front of the screen frowned, and some heard a different meaning in Hei Nan’s words.
Hei Nan said: The audience of Super Girl knows your strength…
Was there a sentence missing after that?
For example: If you are eliminated, it’s definitely not because of your strength.
“Holy crap, what is Hei Nan hinting at?”
“There have been rumors for a long time that Zhang Liangying has a bad relationship with Tianyu, and her songs are distributed by Taihe Rye Music. There must be a conflict between the two, so Tianyu definitely doesn’t want her to reach the Finals…”
“I get it!!! Hei Nan is reminding us that he can’t eliminate Zhang Liangying. If Liangying is truly eliminated, it must be the production team playing dirty.”
“……”
A small portion of fans who thought of this couldn’t wait any longer.
They started logging into Tieba to post, directly translating Hei Nan’s words and then calling for everyone to protect Liangying.
Liangfen assemble! Protect Liangying!
The Finals are ranked by text message votes. We beg Liangfen from the three major operators and the Changsha Notary Office to support us, supervise Tianyu, and prevent them from tampering. We want fair and just data!
I am a Changsha Telecom person, I will escort Liangying!
My cousin works at the Notary Office, I’m begging my cousin to go!
……
At this moment.
In the live broadcast room.
Hei Nan had already given a comprehensive review of Zhou Bichang and Li Yuchun, first affirming Zhou Bichang’s singing skills in this round, and then praising Chun-ge’s stage presence.
In summary, it was just one word: praise!
Next, it was time to announce the results.
The three judges had to select the weakest among the five contestants and send them to the PK Stage.
Then, they had to find the contestant with the lowest text message vote count to PK with them.
The fans could no longer contain their excitement. While the three judges were deliberating, they kept shouting the contestants’ names. Wang Han had to persuade them for quite some time before they quieted down.
Wang Han: “First, I invite our Notary to bring me the names of the contestants with relatively low vote counts during this period…”
Li Xiang: “Thank you, you’ve worked hard. Let’s see who it is?”
Wang Han: “As of now, the contestant with the lowest vote count is… No. 04, Ji Minjia!”
Li Xiang: “Please have Minjia come to the PK Stage.”
Upon learning the result, Ji Minjia felt less anxious. A sense of relief took over, and she calmly walked onto the PK Stage.
Among the five people currently, Ji Minjia indeed had the lowest popularity.
Moreover.
She had always had the lowest popularity throughout her journey.
She relied entirely on her strength!
Li Xiang continued: “Next, please have the judges select one person to stand on the PK Stage with Ji Minjia. I invite Teacher Hei to announce the result.”
Hei Nan nodded, took a breath, and said: “I know everyone is waiting for the result. After a very difficult comprehensive deliberation, we unanimously decided that the person to PK with Ji Minjia is… He Jie…”
This result was indeed difficult~
According to Wang Peng’s wishes, Zhang Liangying was supposed to be sent up.
However, the three judges unanimously decided not to listen to him and ultimately chose He Jie based on the actual situation.
As for He Jie’s fans, they couldn’t accept it at all at this moment. They shouted He Jie’s name, and some even cried.
But this was the competition.
……
Finally.
After voting by 35 Public Judges, Ji Minjia, who had lower popularity, was eliminated, achieving fifth place nationally.
Faced with this outcome, the heavy stone that had been pressing on Ji Minjia’s heart finally fell.
From now on, she no longer had to worry about anything. Without the pressure of advancing, her mood became instantly clear and unhindered.
However, her future path would not be easy.
Given her appearance, temperament, and strength, how much resource support could she get from Tianyu?
This was all an unknown.
Perhaps Wang Peng would only give her a few hundred thousand to release an album casually, and if the results were poor, he would let her fend for herself thereafter.
……
The live broadcast went into a commercial break.
During this time, the impatient Wang Peng still went to the judges. He first whispered a few words in Xia Qing’s ear, and then went to Hei Nan.
After speaking, he left in a hurry.
Xia Qing looked displeased. She beckoned to He Jiong and Hei Nan.
The three of them huddled together and whispered.
Xia Qing: “What do we do now? That scoundrel Wang Peng is pressuring me again, and he even used Director Li’s name. I don’t know if it’s true.”
Hei Nan: “Teacher Xia, I think this might be my last time as a judge.”
He Jiong: “Sigh, this competition isn’t pure.”
Xia Qing: “If we openly send a strong singer to the PK Stage, how will the fans scold us? I can already imagine tomorrow’s newspaper headlines. He Wang Peng has no shame, but I, Xia Qing, do.”
Hei Nan: “Teacher Xia, let me be clear, I will only comment based on objective facts.”
Xia Qing: “Yes, me too. If Director Li holds us accountable tomorrow, I will take responsibility. I truly don’t believe Director Li would do such a thing!”
……
On the other side.
Shen Qing was also comforting Zhang Liangying.
This girl was clearly not nervous before the competition, but after a round of PK, the tense and intense atmosphere still affected her.
Shen Qing rubbed her head: “Liangying, don’t worry. As long as you sing at the level you trained at before, you won’t be eliminated.”
Zhang Liangying swallowed: “But I saw Wang Peng go to the judges. Is he trying to get the judges to eliminate me? After all, among the four people now, I’m the only one who isn’t from Tianyu.”
