Chapter 140: Big sis, this wave gives Jiang Cheng full points!
Si Ling asked Su Manyao, how many points could Jiang Cheng's composition and lyrics score?
Su Manyao thought and said: "Hard to say, could be high or low, depending on the angle."
"But if the judges were to score directly on site, there would probably be some controversy."
"If I were to score, for this episode's competition, I would give full marks."
Upon hearing Su Manyao say full marks, Si Ling pursed her lips, leaned on the sofa, and said nothing.
That means, as the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the lover."
So she looked at Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao with contempt.
She probably felt that among the three people present, the two were a team, she was too lonely, so she used her foot to circle Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng grabbed her foot in one go and twisted the sole hard with the joint of his index finger.
"Ah!"
Si Ling cried out in soreness and quickly pulled her foot back.
She hugged her feet with both hands, curled up on the sofa, and shouted: "I'm freezing to death!"
"You're bullying people!"
Meanwhile, the program on the screen had reached its final stage.
Ya Ya announced that the live audience would do the scoring.
Thus, in the camera, each person in the audience seats held a scoring device.
Because this was the first episode of the broadcast, the director also couldn't quite grasp the audience's psychology.
Therefore, in the scoring segment, he did not let the judges give scores.
Instead, he handed the scoring authority to the live audience.
And those live audience members were not like the people in the livestream room watching the edited replay prepared by the production team.
So their scoring mindset at the time was based solely on their on-site preferences.
Then the four judges turned off their mics and sat in the judges' seats chatting.
The scoring segment ended quickly, and host Ya Ya walked to the center of the stage.
"After our on-site statistics, everyone's score results are out!"
"First, we announce the top three scores!"
"Let's see which contestant got third place in the performance scores!"
As Ya Ya's words fell, the production's background music tempo suddenly sped up, and the camera swept across the venue!
Finally, a booming drum sound appeared in the background music, and the camera froze on the screen behind Ya Ya!
A name appeared with an animation effect of something falling from the sky and smashing to the ground, on the screen.
Lu Jia Jia!
"Our third-place contestant is Lu Jia Jia!"
"Congratulations to Lu Jia Jia of the Huang Zhengming Team for winning third place in this performance!"
"97.9 points!"
Ya Ya announced the result for first place in the performance category.
The whole venue erupted in cheers!
But because this was a recorded broadcast, the livestream's bullet comments had a different effect than the live scene.
"Lu Jia Jia being third is no surprise; I guess second is Han Xiaoxun, and first is definitely Ye Qing!"
"First place could also be Han Xiaoxun!"
"No way, seriously, I just said it—I exited the livestream, casually scrolled a video, and already Ye Qing's singing clip went viral; how could Han Xiaoxun possibly beat Ye Qing!" Indeed, most people's aesthetics aren't that different.
Han Xiaoxun got second place, Ye Qing got first place!
After the top three results were announced, the screen then displayed all at once the rankings of the other thirteen qualifying contestants.
This was also to save time on the show; otherwise, unpopular contestants would waste a lot of time, and the livestream audience would have left long ago.
After the performance rankings were announced, there was actually no controversy; most people felt Ye Qing being named first was well deserved.
But from beginning to end, a large portion of people, regardless of what was playing on the screen, kept discussing the lyrics and composition of the song "Love Trade," whether it was good or bad!
So when Ya Ya said, "Next, let's witness the top three composers—who are the three contestants!"
The livestream's public bulletin board instantly started scrolling rapidly.
The live audience's emotions also peaked!
The biggest hot topic was of course Love Trade!
However, opinions on this song on the bulletin board showed extreme polarization!
"First place is definitely Love Trade!"
"Nonsense! How could it be? Sure, Ye Qing sings well, but this song really has no standard, it's trash—don't even talk about first place, it wouldn't even make the top ten!"
"Have you ever thought that Ye Qing can sing it well for me because the composer created it based on her voice and image? So this song is clearly first place—why say the composer doesn't deserve it?"
!
"What does the composer deserve? A chicken feather? Just because it's catchy, it's a poppy song—of course it has no standard!"
"."
Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao were also looking at the bulletin board.
The vast majority of people on the bulletin board were not optimistic about the song Love Trade; it was obvious the production team was intentionally guiding this conflict.
Because at the beginning, Ya Ya had asked Ye Qing in the camera about her rating of the composer of Love Trade, and the production team deliberately edited in the expressions of four judges who didn't look favorably upon it.
Thus, viewers of the replay formed a first impression that even the judges didn't like this song, so its lyrics and composition must be terrible!
Consequently, many people who themselves didn't know much about music, based on the judges' expressions, came forward to say the song lacked taste, thereby showing off their own refinement.
Third place, Bi Xian!
Bi Xian, who teamed up with Han Xiaoxun, got second place in the composer category.
And Han Xiaoxun herself, she got second place in the singer category, but the composer got second place, so compared like that, it's as if the composer dragged Han Xiaoxun's leg.
Next is announcing second place.
Second place, Ke Le!
Ke Le teamed up with Lu Jia Jia; Lu Jia Jia got third place in the singer category, Ke Le got second place in the composer category.
In comparison, it's as if singer Lu Jia Jia dragged composer Ke Le's leg.
Third and second places have come out, so second place can only be Jiang Cheng!
Will Jiang Cheng be first place? Eat shit!
If first place is Ke Le or Bi Xian, then Jiang Cheng might not make the top three, but now Ke Le and Bi Xian's names have already appeared, no one would think any other song on stage could surpass Ke Le and Bi Xian's two songs? Only Jiang Cheng left!
As expected, I wasn't wrong? The audience's eyes are sharp; I just said Jiang Cheng would definitely be first place!
Earlier, those who supported Jiang Cheng in the public chat, they'd say one sentence and get rebutted many times; now they finally can raise their heads.
And those who kept saying Jiang Cheng's songs, tasteless people, now they're severely broken, on the public chat they're cursing heaven and earth!
But the program's progress was quick; after announcing the top three, they immediately dumped the remaining 13 rankings.
Then all the contestants went on stage.
Jiang Cheng walked onto the stage together with Ye Qing.
The people in the livestream and the audience also know that this episode is about to end.
But just then, Ke Le walked over to Ya Ya's side, and suddenly spoke using Ya Ya's microphone:
Wait, I think it's unreasonable; Ye Qing indeed sings well, but why on earth do the lyrics and composition get a higher score than mine?!
