Chapter 150: Her singing is worse than the howl of my wife's best friend!

~7 min read 1,305 words

Finally Lu Jia Jia finished singing a song, and the audience felt they had been reborn.

If they kept listening, they thought they would really drop dead on the spot.

Meanwhile, no one in the live stream cared what she was singing; at this point they were either cursing or had already left.

But after finishing her song, Lu Jia Jia still bowed proudly to take her bow.

"I finally made it through!"

"I'll vote to eliminate her later—others sing for money, she sings for her life!"

"It's not Lu Jia Jia's fault; it's the trash Jiang Cheng wrote!"

"Big brother, don't say both you and second brother are trash!"

"If I have to listen to Jiang Cheng's song again, my wife would eat two catties at once!"

"What the hell is she singing? It sounds like a wail, not even as good as my wife's best friend's howl!"

Seeing Lu Jia Jia step down.

The director and the music director both let out a sigh of relief.

Although the live stream's viewership dropped from nearly 200,000 to 100,000, at least we got through it!

"Get those two out of the next episode!" the director shouted, slamming his walkie-talkie on the table in anger.

The department head of planning stood aside and asked cautiously, "Which two people?"

He had to confirm it, lest he get the wrong person.

The director impatiently roared, "Who else could it be? Jiang Cheng and Lu Jia Jia!"

"Okay."

"I don't want to see them on this stage again!"

The director was furious.

But the music director stood nearby, wanting to speak but holding back; he had heard Ye Qing sing that song, and it was truly good, and he judged it could definitely become a hit point.

Yet he never expected this outcome.

At this point he felt embarrassed to say more to the director; this blame weighed heavily on him.

He had originally thought Lu Jia Jia might become a promising star someday, and he wanted to get to know her for future cooperation and easier communication.

But he never expected Lu Jia Jia to give him such a huge mess.

In the later episodes, none of the contestants could retrieve the lost situation.

The live stream's viewership stayed below 150,000, until later when Han Xiaoxuan performed, barely pushing the numbers up to 150,000.

The show finally proceeded to the final segment.

Everyone went on stage.

This included Jiang Cheng, who stood together with Lu Jia Jia.

Lu Jia Jia dressed rather flamboyantly today; she glanced at Jiang Cheng standing beside her, revealing an arrogant, haughty expression.

She twisted her waist, and her gaze shifted to the side.

Ye Qing stood on stage, her side profile showing some worry as she glanced at Jiang Cheng; she had paid attention when Lu Jia Jia was singing just now.

As a professional, she could naturally tell it was a huge mess!

She worried Jiang Cheng would be eliminated.

Actually, if nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Cheng would definitely be eliminated.

Originally, seeing the show's live data, the director had given up, but in the final segment, when everyone stood on stage, the live stream's viewership surged upward, reaching 200,000 in less than a minute.

"What's going on? Did someone buy traffic again?"

The director asked aloud.

He remembered that after Lu Jia Jia went on stage, the data collapsed, and he hadn't bought any traffic since.

But just now, the live stream's viewership was actually better than when he had bought traffic.

The planning department head said: "No traffic was bought; fans came on their own. Lu Jia Jia's singing video from just now was screen-recorded and posted online, it went viral, and many people came to watch the video.

And the director had now noticed the public chat.

"Finally we've reached the scoring segment—see if I can vote you out!"

"To be honest, I don't know what happened, but I came to vote after watching the video!"

"I'm really curious—how can a variety show still be messing around like this? Even with Zhoudong and Queen teacher present, it's not a small stage, so why are amateur singers shouting up there?"

"I just watched this woman sing—I literally laughed my head off; it's not even as good as listening to my roommate talk in his sleep!"

The director saw these public comments and realized these newcomers were attracted by the screen-recorded video.

But the reason these people came wasn't because Lu Jia Jia's singing was good; it's that a variety show with four such big-name mentors could be this bad—it's simply infamous far and wide!

However, infamy is still fame; at least it attracted so many viewers.

I don't know how to say it, but the director actually felt a bit happy—this is better than the show having no popularity, right?

This can be seen as making the best of a bad situation; at least it's not a total defeat.

Next is the commentators' remarks segment; after each person sings, they give their opinions, but now this stage is just idle chatter.

Actually, it's a guide and topic designed by the production team.

They always have Ya Ya say: "Zhoudong, who do you think will win this episode?"

!

Zhoudong rubbed his nose and said: "It's really hard to say; everyone sang well, with different styles."

Ya Ya said: "Our Zhoudong is still as tactful as ever."

"Then, Teacher Queen, who do you think is more likely to win this episode?"

Queen hehe laughed, then took the microphone and said: "I don't know either."

Just as Ya Ya thought the topic was ineffective.

The Queen then continued, saying: "However, from my personal perspective, I still prefer Ye Qing a bit more; his voice is very pleasant and full of spirit."

"If I were to vote, I would vote for Ye Qing."

As the Queen's words fell, the audience seats behind her erupted in a wave of cheers.

Next, Huang Zhengming said, "I prefer Han Xiaoxun; she sings with a lot of energy."

"But Lin Hui Lin's singing is also not bad."

Lin Hui Lin is a girl with dyed blond hair, a fiery figure; upon hearing Huang Zhengming call her name, she slightly bowed to show thanks, revealing a snow-white deep V.

Na Ying also said a few words, but unlike Wang Fei and Huang Zhengming, she did not name her favored champion.

After the four mentors had spoken, the voting segment finally began.

The audience present and the fans in the live stream each could cast one vote.

Su Manyao also held a voting device in her hand.

She cast this vote for Han Xiaoxun.

In her view, Ye Qing's performance this episode was actually not bad, but her song was lacking a bit.

That's how talent shows work—they judge based on the live performance, not past ability.

Compared to Han Xiaoxun, Ye Qing does not have the advantage this episode.

As for Jiang Cheng

Su Manyao just thinking about it gave her a headache; she didn't know what Jiang Cheng was up to, how he could write such a song—clearly the melody is fine, and if he put heart into it, it would likely become another masterpiece.

Voting ended.

The final results were announced:

Han Xiaoxun took first place, Ye Qing second, and the blond, big-eyed Lin Hui Ling third.

As expected, the last place fell to Lu Jia Jia.

The program was basically over at this point.

But at this moment, the number of people in the live stream for the final segment surged to an unprecedented high, reaching 300,000.

Even the director was somewhat reluctant to end it just like that.

Then, at that moment, Lu Jia Jia jumped out from somewhere, holding a microphone she had somehow obtained.

"I protest the competition results!"
