Entertainment: A song that brought his deceased wife back to life.

The studio security guards finally rushed up.

It wasn't about catching that "skin-peeling king" who threw the water bottle.

Instead, they formed a human wall, blocking the judges' seats.

If we don't stop them, these three so-called masters will be torn apart by the excited audience in the front row.

The chubby judge wiped the water off his face, looking utterly disheveled.

He was about to point at the audience and continue his tirade.

The host sensed something was wrong.

If the judges and the audience really get into a fight, the show will be banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television tomorrow.

"vote!"

The host practically shouted those two words out of voice.

Please calm down!

"Express all your anger and all your emotions through your voting devices!"

"Now, I hereby announce that the voting channel for the 'Rising Star' group competition is officially open!"

That shout really worked.

The man who was about to take off his shoe and throw it onto the stage stopped.

Skinner King sat down again.

He took out his phone and tapped the screen repeatedly with his finger.

"Brothers! Charge!"

"Let these blind judges see what public opinion really is!"

The tense atmosphere in the studio instantly changed.

Everyone was looking down at their phones.

The huge LED screen at the back of the stage suddenly lit up.

Two huge bar charts appeared on either side of the screen.

The red color on the left represents Zhang Ye's team.

The blue color on the right represents Xu Qing's team.

Backstage lounge.

Zhang Ye sat on the leather sofa, a glass of red wine in his hand swirling slightly.

He looked at the screen, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

That song "囍" was really something.

It scared him so much he broke out in a cold sweat.

But so what?

This is a competition.

It's a game of capital.

Zhao Tai had already made the arrangements.

A guaranteed minimum of 50 million.

In addition, there are the die-hard fans he has accumulated over the past two years.

And then there was the magnificent stage effect of "Snow" just now.

How did he lose?

"Brother Ye, it's safe now."

The rapper Li Xiu leaned over, looking obsequious.

"That was just the audience being inexperienced and getting scared."

"When it comes to the voting stage, people still judge by appearance."

"Those three oddballs, who would vote for them?"

Zhang Ye snorted.

He didn't say anything, but the smugness in his eyes was unmistakable.

The numbers on the screen started jumping.

The red pillar was the first to move.

That's Zhang Ye's vote count.

The numbers are rising rapidly.

One million.

Three million.

five million.

In the blink of an eye, it broke the ten million mark.

This is the strength of Star Emperor Entertainment.

This is the power of capital operation.

If you're willing to spend money, you can get your face painted like incense even if you're defecating on stage.

On the other hand, look at the right side.

Xu Qing's blue pillar moved very slowly.

They climbed up by hundreds of thousands.

After all, this is a live broadcast.

There is a network delay.

Moreover, many audience members were still reeling from the shock of the song "囍" (double happiness).

On the judges' panel.

The long-haired judge tidied up her hair, which had been soaked by the water.

He glanced at the big screen and then gave a disdainful smile.

"See that?"

He turned off the microphone and spoke to the chubby judge next to him.

"What's the point of making a scene?"

"Data doesn't lie."

"The general public's aesthetic sense is still normal; who likes that kind of mystical stuff?"

The chubby judge also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhang Ye wins, what does it matter if these troublemakers throw a few water bottles?

The final payment that Mr. Zhao promised is the real deal.

at this time.

Xu Qing stood on the stage.

He didn't turn around to look at the screen.

He wasn't interested in those numbers.

He was just looking down, fiddling with the red veil on the guitar.

The movements were very gentle, as if afraid of wrinkling the paper veil.

Wang Dazhu, standing behind him, was about to urinate.

The man stared intently at the big screen.

Seeing the huge gap in votes between the two sides, his heart sank.

"It's over, Er Gou."

Wang Dazhu's voice trembled with tears.

"We're more than ten million votes behind them."

"Now we really have to pack our bags and go back to the village to stage a funeral."

Li Ergou didn't say anything.

He was trying to fix his broken erhu.

His hands were shaking so badly it looked like he had Parkinson's disease.

Zhang Tiedan simply closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath, it was unclear whether he was chanting scriptures or counting.

Just as Zhang Ye's votes surpassed 30 million.

A sudden change occurred.

In the control room.

The technical supervisor in charge of monitoring the data suddenly jumped up from his chair.

"director!"

Something's not right!

Wang Gang was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

Hearing this, her heart tightened: "What happened? Did Zhao Tai's vote-rigging go too far?"

"no!"

The technical lead pointed at the screen, his fingers trembling.

"It's Xu Qing!"

"Traffic...exploded!"

Wang Gang suddenly turned his head to look at the monitor.

All you can see on the right side of the screen is the blue pillar that was originally moving very slowly.

Suddenly, it felt like I'd taken a little blue pill.

It suddenly shot upwards a great distance.

It's not just a little bit higher.

It has increased exponentially.

Three million.

Eight million.

Fifteen million.

Just now, the difference was over ten million.

It leveled out in the blink of an eye.

A gasp rippled through the studio.

Everyone looked up.

The blue pillar shot upwards wildly in an unreasonable manner.

Twenty million.

Thirty million.

Forty million!

Zhang Ye's votes were initially increasing quite rapidly.

But compared to Xu Qing's rocket-like speed, it's like riding a bicycle against a Ferrari.

They're not even in the same league.

Holy crap!

The Skin-Peeling King shouted from below the stage.

"You guys did a great job!"

"Get this up there!"

"Let those capitalists see that we poor wretches also have dignity!"

The comments in the live stream were long gone.

It was covered with words.

[Go for it!] [For the suona! For Xu Qing!] [I voted willingly!] [This is the true essence of Chinese style! This is the true essence of music!] [Get me over 100 million!] [Whoever dares to block my way, I'll run them over!] Backstage dressing room.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

The wine glass in Zhang Ye's hand fell to the ground.

Red wine was spilled all over the floor, like a pool of glaring blood.

He stared intently at the screen.

His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

"How is that possible?"

"That's impossible!"

"President Zhao clearly stated there was a minimum guarantee of 50 million!"

"Is there an error in this data?"

"The machine must be broken!"

He suddenly stood up and rushed to the television, pounding on the screen.

Li Xiu and his two teammates huddled in a corner.

I didn't dare to breathe.

They're not stupid.

This isn't a machine malfunction.

This is a backlash from public opinion.

That song "囍" was too harsh.

It directly pierced the audience's skull.

Coupled with the judges' shameless comments, the public was thoroughly enraged.

This is retaliatory voting.

on the big screen.

Zhang Ye's votes reached 45 million.

That's already quite high.

In previous seasons, this number of votes would definitely have been the champion.

But today.

In front of Xu Qing.

This number seems so meager.

That's ridiculous.

Sixty million.

Seventy million.

Eighty million!

The numbers are still jumping.

It jumped all the way up to 83 million!

The studio fell silent for a second.

Then erupted cheers that could have blown the roof off.

This is more than just a number.

This is since the premiere of "Rising Star".

Even in the history of domestic variety shows.

The highest single-event vote record!
