Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 76: A Naked Battle of Strength

There were undercurrents of tension not only among the contestants.

The battle between fan groups has been ongoing.

Since the end of last week's competition, resourceful fans have used all sorts of methods, from buying 1 SIM cards to swipe votes to throwing money at factories to get workers to vote...

Some even go out on the street to become human billboards.

Although many older people dislike these behaviors, Shen Qing feels that their way of supporting their idols is relatively acceptable.
It's better than some fans buying milk and dumping it...

Started this morning.

The SMS business of the three major telecom operators in Changsha experienced a leap in growth. Just after midnight, a large number of SMS messages flooded in, which once crowded the channels of ordinary users.

Some guys who have online romances with girls are still reluctant to leave the internet cafe after they log off, wanting to send an ambiguous text message to the "beauty" thousands of miles away, but they just can't send it.

……

mobile.

SMS Business Division.

At 8:30 a.m., staff member Li Lei had just arrived at work and couldn't wait to open the backend to check the latest data for the day.

The data that popped up startled him.

"Holy crap, is there a bug?"

"152 million votes in one night?"

"No, the data is fine!!!"

"Wow, these fans are so rich! 152 million for 1 yuan a post? They're really willing to spend that much."

"Haha, my year-end bonus is guaranteed this year..."

"Let me first count the number of votes for each person..."

"I hope Liangying will completely overshadow them!!!"

That's right, Li Lei is a 'liangfen' (a type of cold noodle).

His 17-year-old sister, who is in her final year of high school, is a fan of Yumi; his newlywed wife is a relative of Biqin; and his parents are fans of Ji Minjia.

The whole family are die-hard fans of "Super Girl".

Last night, Li Lei's family had an exceptionally heated debate, but they could not reach an agreement on the outcome of the competition.

Li Lei felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

He wanted to tell his wife and sister that Zhang Liangying was the strongest.

After calculating the votes for the three contestants, Li Lei was overjoyed: "That's fantastic! Liang Ying got 70 votes today, Li Yuchun got 60 votes, and Zhou Bichang only got 22 votes. I'll send it to my wife to see right now..."

Just then, Li Lei's boss pushed open the door.

"Xiao Li, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Good morning, Director Wu. I was just calculating the SMS votes for the Super Girl contestants, I'm so excited!"

"Oh? Zhang Liangying is far ahead?"

Director Wu, who is 40 years old, is also a fan of cold noodles.

He really likes Jane Zhang's singing; he has downloaded all of Jane Zhang's original songs onto his MP3 player.

"Today we're already 10 ahead of Li Yuchun."

"Alright, alright! Li Lei, you stay here tonight and keep an eye on the data. Make sure you give the production team the most accurate data on Zhang Liangying..."

"Director Wu, I want to too..."

"Okay, that's all. Call me if you need anything."

Director Wu has left.

He also wants to go back and watch the live stream tonight.

Therefore, only Li Lei can remain.

Li Lei felt extremely distressed.

After thinking for a long time, he finally called the new contract worker, Xiao Wang. A moment later, Xiao Wang came running and pushed open the door to Li Lei's office.

"Director Li, you wanted to see me?"

……

at the same time.

The staff responsible for SMS services at both China Unicom and Xiaolingtong were also constantly monitoring the data.

and.

The staff for tonight's shift has already been arranged.

In the final segment of the live broadcast, they will send the real-time data to the Super Girl program team and a notary, who will then announce the data.

Shen Qing was on her way to the Sichuan Conservatory of Music by taxi.

For tonight's performance, he found two opera singing and harmonizing masters from the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, and even brought along the daughter of his bel canto teacher.

The song that Liangying sings tonight requires their participation.

……

Time flies.

It was 7 p.m.

The rate of increase in SMS votes has slowed down.

Because many fans had already cast their votes long ago.

Next.

The most crucial thing is to compete for the tickets held by passersby.

That's how these kinds of competition shows work. Just like how people watch live streams 20 years from now, when they come across a performance they like or a sassy female streamer, many casual viewers will impulsively make purchases.

In previous Super Girl competitions, casual fans would also cast their votes if they heard a good song.

tonight.

The key to victory lies with the passersby.

At this point, the three contestants had stopped communicating.

With one hour left in the competition, Li Yuchun's heart was in her throat; she was arguably the most nervous person tonight.

Zhou Bichang's vote count was far behind the top two, and she had almost no chance of making a comeback. She had the best mentality.

Champion and runner-up!
It will only happen between Zhang Liangying and Li Yuchun.

After a week of intensive training from Shen Qing, Zhang Liangying has mastered the three songs and is not afraid of Li Yuchun at all.

……

The game has progressed to this stage.

It's no longer about luck, but about raw strength.

Do Li Yuchun and Zhou Bichang have the talent?
While their singing skills may not be as strong as Zhang Liangying's, to say they have absolutely no talent would be an overestimation.

The fact that they managed to fight their way out of the hundreds of thousands of applicants and finally stand in front of Zhang Liangying speaks volumes.

Singing, dancing, and a gender-neutral style that caters to the current youth market—these two have mastered it all...

This is also a form of strength.

But that's it.

Tonight's competition will be the ultimate test to distinguish between true and false geniuses. The audience will be able to see clearly who is real and who is fake.

As for those eliminated contestants...

It's said that some people went back and became emotional, constantly complaining about their lack of recognition and bad luck.

Actually, there's no such thing as being talented but unappreciated; it all comes down to being incompetent.

……

"Beautiful figure, beautiful voice, beautiful figure!"

"Writing with pen, singing with pen, a powerful vocalist."

"The queen of the stage, it has to be Chun Chun!"

"Corn isn't afraid of hard work, Xiaoyu is the most precious!"

"..."

The largest studio on Hunan TV.

When Li Xiang and Wang Han took the stage to warm up the audience ten minutes before the live broadcast started, the cheers from the fans grew louder and louder.

Nearly a thousand spectators cheered, "It's spectacular!"

The atmosphere in the finals is just different.

Everyone was very excited.

At the bustling May 1st Square, Hunan TV programs were being broadcast on the mall's large screen, with a dense crowd of viewers sitting on the ground, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.

From all corners of the country, in countless households, people waited in front of their televisions. Some drank beer with friends while waiting, while others ate dinner with their families while watching the television.

The topic of the champion is inescapable in every scene.

There are people supporting either side!

of course.

The most popular names are Zhang Liangying and Li Yuchun.

It's almost a 50/50 chance.

These two have such distinct styles: one embodies the typical gentle yet strong image of an Eastern woman, while the other adopts a novel and unconventional androgynous style, attracting two completely different groups of fans.

I bet Li Yuchun will win!

"Keep it up, Yuchun!"

"Li Yuchun is so cool and handsome. This is the kind of star that young people like. Yuchun is no less than the Korean wave."

"Singing ability? Humph, we don't care."

"All my friends voted for Li Yuchun. She will definitely beat Zhang Liangying. Just wait and see."

"Yu Chun is Tianyu's favorite son. That Zhang guy broke up with Tianyu a long time ago and went to Taihe Wheatfield. No matter how powerful Taihe is, can it interfere with Hunan TV? I don't believe Tianyu won't protect Yu Chun!!"

"Heh, so what if you cheat? It's part of your skill. Go ahead and cheat if you dare!"

"..."

Faced with the corn fans' merciless mockery, the Liangfen (fans of Liangfen) were seething with anger, and those who wanted to post a rebuttal held back.

They are all waiting!

We await a strong counterattack from Liangying and Shen Qing, so that their fans can stand up straight and fight back!
……

Backstage dressing room.

After Shen Qing finished styling Liang Ying, the favorability rating stopped increasing, indicating that Liang Ying trusted him completely.

Shen Qing placed his hands on her soft shoulders, looked in the mirror, and said, "Private, Ying! Are you ready for the battlefield?"

Zhang Liangying giggled and said, "Sir, aren't I a private first class? How come I'm a private second class again tonight?"

Shen Qing laughed and said, "I'll reward you with the rank of Private First Class after you win the championship. Alright, Private Second Class, Ying, get ready quickly, let's set off immediately."

Sitting next to me, Li Yuchun swallowed hard. "Wait, what kind of weird game are you two playing? It's such a thrilling role-playing game..."
