"Here they come! I'm so excited that my hands are shaking!"
"I have been looking forward to it for a week, and finally I can watch the livestream!"
"Go, Tang Tang! Tang Tang is the best!"
"Cui Yi, fighting!"
...
With word-of-mouth and publicity in the first week, the number of online viewers of the livestream of "Time Idol" reached a new high number in the second week.
After half of the performance, the atmosphere on the stage was even more exciting. Some netizens even commented that they felt that they were not watching a talent show, but a concert.
Of course, not only the audience, but the contestants also enjoyed the performances.
After all, this was an elimination match, and no one could guarantee that he could perform on this stage next time. The contestants all cherished this opportunity.
.....
Ye Zexi and his team were the last to perform. When it was their turn to go on stage, the cheers on the scene were like waves, one wave after another.
Xi Shu couldn't help but smile and said, "Let me listen to whose name you call?"
The fans' voices were very in line: "Ye Zexi!"
Xi Shu laughed: "Very good, then I will ask Ye Zexi's team to bring us "High Fashion"!"
As soon as the host announced this, the lights went out.
After a short two seconds, a light shone from the top of the stage, and the four players appeared one after another.
When Ye Zexi appeared as the last member of the group on the stage, the music also started to play—
"Here he comes! The most anticipated performance of the night!"
"Ye Zexi, fighting!"
The rhythmic melody sounded, and the harmony of the four in the dark came clearly:
"Hey, Greedy, don't fret
What you see is what you get
You name it, I have it
What you see is what you get"
"Left left, left left, favor the left, just use your left hand; in life, you don't need to think too much."
The stage lights were completely lit, Ye Zexi was dressed in a pink denim jacket, and his low magnetic voice instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
The livechat was silent for a moment, and then exploded in the next second:
"I can't do it anymore! This voice really makes my ears get pregnant!"
"Live performance! No sound modification, his natural voice!"
"Ye Zexi!!! Forever the god!"
The fans at the scene were also very shocked. This was the first time they heard of Ye Zexi singing live. The voice was on par!
It almost felt like they were listening to a concert, really entertaining!
Qu Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Ye Zexi performed better tonight than yesterday's rehearsal.
Shan Zeyu was also impeccable. He lowered his voice and said to He Jinyun: "He was born to be on this stage. If you want to trick him into coming to your movie to be an actor, it's an unforgivable crime."
He Jinyun stared at the stage.
The stars were shining on the stage, Ye Zexi always made people lock their eyes on him at first glance.
Ye Zexi now did not have that lazy and relaxed posture like he was in the training room, only enjoyment on his face, as if he was born for this moment, to bloom his own charm on the stage.
He Jinyun evoked a smile, and gently shook his head to deny Shan Zeyu's words: "Not necessarily."
Ye Zexi fits for a bigger screen.
He firmly believes.
.....
The lighting changed, even more brilliant. The music became muffled, and the lights gathered on Ye Zexi, only hearing Ye Zexi's magnetic voice whispering: "My idea isn't too complicated, gotta hurry, sign-up is limited, please--"
Don't go around knockin' everywhere
Trends need to be raised up
If you're not careful, you won't make any money
Work hard to save everywhere
Spend all the money you've saved up
Money can't buy you unrivaled skill
.....
Both the audience and the contestants were completely immersed in this hearty performance.
It was not until the end of the performance that the audience realized that the auditory feast had ended so soon, which was quite unfulfilled.
The fans viewing online were even more dissatisfied:
"Why do I feel that Ye Zexi has so few lines today! I want to hear him singing solo!"
"It's not just you! I think so too!"
"I want to hear Ye Zexi sing again by himself!"
"More, more!"
"It's okay! It will be the PK session soon, and we can still hear him sing again! The voting will start after the second live show ends later, sisters, you must vote for Ye Zexi!"
"Yes, yes! He is the number one! No need to think! As long as you vote for Ye Zexi, you are my good sister!"
.....
The lights slowly turned on, Ye Zexi and his team also finished their performance. Then it was followed by Cui Yi and his team to bring the audience a different "High Fashion".
Once the two teams' performance ended, the tense voting session finally started.
Xi Shu appeared again and announced that the voting channel had officially opened. With a thousand spectators present, they need to choose their favorite two contestants and to vote for their favorite team to win the PK.
"Thirty seconds left! Please hurry up and vote!"
"Countdown to five, four, three, two, one, voting channel is now closed!"
Xi Shu's voice sounded, and the results of the team PK also came out this time.
Before announcing the results, there was a comment segment from the mentors.
Qu Xiao took the lead in picking up the microphone and praised as soon as she spoke: "Ye Zexi, you are in a super good state today!"
Ye Zexi's eyes curled, and he smiled and asked, "Does Teacher Qu like it?"
Qu Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Ye Zexi was talking about the last review, she laughed: "Why, you still would not let go of the talk from last time?"
Ye Zexi blinked without speaking.
Netizens and viewers laughed like crazy.
Even Qu Xiao's fans were happy:
"Hahahaha I cannot stop laughing, this Ye Zexi, I saw that Xiao Xiao was stunned just now hahahahaha."
"He really would not let go! He even strolled our Xiao Xiao! Yet I still want to laugh inexplicably about what is going on hahahaha."
"Hahahaha I can see that Xiao Xiao admires Ye Zexi very much, but this person is a real stroll! Xiao Xiao, please be strict!"
The segment ended, and the mentors gave their choices.
Whether it was live performance or song proficiency, no doubt Ye Zexi would be the winner, and as expected, their team won the team PK victoriously without any suspense.
There was another cheering and applause at the scene.
Cui Yi's team members were not surprised by this result, but they still couldn't hide their loss.
The losing group would automatically fall into the defeated group and would have to wait for the next elimination round.
After Cui Yi's team members went off stage, Xi Shu announced the top four players in Ye Zexi's team.
Before the mentor started to announce the individual ranking among the team, Yu Yan was so nervous that his forehead began to sweat, and his hands on the sides clenched into fists.
The corners of Jiang Ran's mouth were also pressed tightly, and he stared at Xi Shu next to him without blinking.
Ye Zexi was the one with the most relaxed expression in the group, and even leisurely waved hello to the fans in the audience.
From time to time, they could hear the screams of fans at the end.
The audience in the livestream room noticed this scene sharply.
"Ye Zexi! He is still in the mood to say hello to fans, I'm so nervous!"
"Hahaha Ye Zexi has a good mentality! It's okay, he is so confident, and we have to believe him."
Xi Shu didn't deliberately delay the result, and soon announced the top four players in this group.
The first place was Ye Zexi, the second place was Jiang Ran, and Yu Yan was the third place.
Ye Zexi also turned his attention back at this time. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yu Yan next to him obviously relieved, but before Yu Yan was completely relaxed, Xi Shu's words made him tense up again.
"The PK rule for the winning group, the first place is to duel with the third place, and the second place is to duel with the fourth place, the top four contestants in the group please step aside."
Hearing this, Yu Yan's face got pale instantly.
Had it not been for the makeup on his face, Ye Zexi would be sure that fans and audiences would think he would be fainting on the spot.
The survival of the fittest is the cruelty of the game.
The rule is just a fact, but the people are the living. Ye Zexi curved up the corner of his mouth.
Xi Shu once again explained the competition rule to the audience. Just as he was about to say that the game would continue, Ye Zexi suddenly spoke up—
"Mr. Xi, is it convenient for me to ask a question?"
Xi Shu looked at Ye Zexi and nodded: "Of course."
Ye Zexi smiled, he first said thank you, and then asked: "I want to know what happens if a player withdraws?"
Xi Shu was a little puzzled about what Ye Zexi's question meant, but still answered him: "Then according to the rules, his opponent will automatically advance to the top 25."
Xi Shu said with a smile: "I think no one will take the initiative to withdraw th—"
In the next second, Ye Zexi interrupted him with a smile: "Okay, I want to withdraw."
"What?" Xi Shu's smile froze on his mouth.
The screen was full of question marks.
"What's this situation?"
The fans at the scene were also dumbfounded.
"What's the matter? Why do you want to withdraw so suddenly?"
As a temporary mentor, He Jinyun took the lead in reacting: "Let me confirm if I heard it right, Ye Zexi, you just said you wanted to withdraw?"
Ye Zexi nodded, his expression was very relaxed, but what he said made everyone feel incredible: "Well, I withdraw and let Yu Yan advance."
"Why?" Xi Shu really couldn't hold back, he forgot to close his mouth in surprise, looking at Ye Zexi puzzled.
Yu Yan next to Ye Zexi felt even more surreal. Was he dreaming?
Why did Ye Zexi give up his
opportunity? Why did he get to advance?
Why?
Jiang Ran wanted to ask, he heard it right?
Ye Zexi took the initiative to with draw from an advancement?
There was such an accident temporarily, but fortunately, He Jinyun reacted quickly enough and said: "Ye Zexi, once you have made the decision to withdraw, you can't change it. Have you thought about it?"
Ye Zexi smiled and said, "Of course."
The audience was silent.
The audience watching the livestream even occasionally heard someone whisper in the audience: "Why, why did Ye Zexi not want to PK?"
At this time, the fans also reacted.
"Withdraw?"
"What's this situation?"
"What's this, Ye Zexi will be able to advance soon, why withdraw now?"
"Why can't I understand it? Isn't it good to advance now? Or does Ye Zexi not want to advance at all?"
"I have a terrible guess. Could it be that Ye Zexi is getting bored of the audition and wants to go home to inherit the family property?"
"Upstairs, you take back that sentence!"
"Bah, baah! The performance just now was so wonderful, why are you going back to inherit the family property?"
There was a lot of discussion online, and fans were at a loss.
It was impossible to take back these words once they were out. Ye Zexi had already chosen to give up this opportunity, so Yu Yan was naturally given the spot for promotion.
Until Yu Yan sat in the advancement zone, he still looked blank.
Tang Jing happened to be sitting next to him, and Yu Yan subconsciously asked: "Tang Jing, do you know what happened to Ye Zexi? Why did he give me the chance to advance?"
Tang Jing looked equally confused, shook his head to say he didn't know.
Yu Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and he was very frightened: "He, he, is he chasing after me! I don't like men!"
Tang Jing: "?"
It took a long time for Tang Jing to speak with much diffculty: "You're thinking too much."
Even so, Yu Yan was still very worried.
It was not until the PK among team member rounds were finished, and Ye Zexi appeared again and this doubt was resolved.
