This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 211 "The real battle has just begun"

After seeing all the score ranking and scoring data come out, everyone in the venue, including the audience and the students from both sides, regardless of whether they won or lost, burst into enthusiastic cheers.

This harmonious yet weird scene made the mentors on Xu Feng's side stunned.

Originally they planned to celebrate a little and put a happy expression on their faces.

But seeing that the opposing camp was also celebrating, they subconsciously suppressed the emotions on their faces, worried that they might have made some mistake.

If after the celebration they found out that they hadn't won at all, it would probably be made into a meme by netizens who like to watch the fun and make trouble, and circulate on the Internet for at least a year or two.

Many of the singers here are not traffic stars, and they are still somewhat resistant to this way of becoming famous.

Several mentors calmed down and refocused their attention on the big screen, carefully confirming whether they had seen it wrong and whether the winning team was actually the opposing team.

However, several people squinted their eyes and scanned the big screen back and forth several times, but could not find any problems.

They indeed won!
It is true that our score is higher than the other side!
We won, no problem!
So how are the losing team celebrating?

"You guys, do you have any clues?"

Xu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because the sponsor behind them has made an effort? For example, their sponsor has set a target that there will be a bonus for those above 90 points, so they don't care about winning or losing, as long as there is a bonus?"

The other instructors simply ignored Xu Feng's nonsense: "Could it be that they made a mistake?"

"I think it's possible."

"Not really. Look, it's mainly the people on the stage who are celebrating. Only a few people are celebrating in the opposing camp..."

"Yeah, why is that?"

"I think they really wanted to change groups, so they were very happy to see that their score was A? As for whether they won or not in the end, it didn't matter to them?"

"It's possible, don't tell me."

"That does explain it, because their original goal was not to win the game, but to get a higher rating as possible so that they can change groups."

When it came to this, a teacher suddenly said, "Then, will our students also have this mentality?"

After this question was asked, the mentors were stunned and unconsciously turned their eyes to Xu Feng and Bai Yao.

Although they don't want to admit it, the fact is that most students want to join Xu Feng's team.

A widely circulated work can be of great help to the development of one's future career.

Fortunately, the program team has imposed strict restrictions on the number of people.

Another instructor observed for two seconds and quickly shook his head: "I don't think so. They should be celebrating because of the victory, not because of the change of group."

"Just kidding, our group is very harmonious and united, okay!"

"Besides, if you really want to join Xu Feng's group, you have to be able to get in. Right now, there are already 6 singers who can compete, and some singers with A scores will be selected in the civil war. With eight or nine singers competing for two positions, the hope is not very high."

"So, I think the other party is celebrating simply because they don't want to stay in their group anymore."

"Look carefully again. The group with the best results, the group that won second place last time, obviously did not celebrate as much as the other three. It's like they were being led to celebrate for no apparent reason."

Among the other group of students, the ones celebrating the most were Zhou Yanliu's group and the group consisting of two popular singers.

Likewise, the members of these two groups celebrated most enthusiastically.

In other words... they themselves are fed up with continuing to live in this group.

As long as they can change groups, even if it is not Xu Feng's group, it is something worth celebrating for them.

"Well, I suddenly feel that their students are a bit miserable, haha!"

"That's for sure... Mainly because the mentors of this variety show have such a huge influence on the students. Maybe the average mentors are not that disadvantaged to the top mentors, but a bad mentor is a huge disaster for the students."

This is indeed true.

The biggest difference between the middle-level mentors and the top mentors is the stunningness of their song selections.

However, the weight of who chooses the better song in the final score is actually very low, and the score mainly depends on the student's own performance.

Unless this original song is created by the student himself, the weight will be higher.

So in this regard, top mentors do have certain advantages over mid-level mentors, but this advantage is basically only symbolic and a bonus.

But if a student gets a bad instructor, he or she will be in big trouble.

Because the lower-level mentors are likely to choose songs that are not suitable for the students to sing, which will prevent them from performing well and cause them to suffer a great loss in basic scores.

The performance on the field and the basic score of singing are of great weight and are not something that is just icing on the cake!

The impact is so great that it can be seen from the fact that Zhou Yanliu's group dropped from first to last.

"It's me. I'm running away too..."

“I understand.”

"It feels like this competition will be very exciting! I guess a lot of people want to switch groups."

"Interesting, the real battle is only beginning now, right?"

"Indeed, these guys on the stage are just appetizers... what's coming next is the real bloodbath."

"If you don't perform well, you might be eliminated. If you perform well, you might get rewarded by changing groups. It's really stressful."

"By the way, what are the rules for this elimination?"

As soon as the instructor finished asking the question, the host on the stage seemed to have a telepathic connection and raised the microphone and said, "Well, the group competition is over. Next up is the brutal elimination round."

"You should have heard that this round of elimination will be very cruel... Students, please be mentally prepared."

The host laughed and said, "The rules are actually very simple. Our program strives to select excellent singers. Now that the program is halfway through, it's time to portray our theme a little more deeply."

"All students with scores of C and D will most likely be eliminated! Note that I said most likely. There is no upper limit to the number of people. If you are unlucky, the number of people eliminated will be 'all'!"

All students with C and D may be eliminated?

All eliminated?!

Is this... a bit too cruel?
Without waiting for the students to get excited, the host continued, "Students who received a B grade, don't be too happy too soon, because you are not safe either."

Now, even those students with B scores who were sitting back and watching the fun suddenly changed their expressions.

In the past, a B score meant direct promotion, but without the privileges of an A-scorer who would receive a bonus and an advantage after promotion! But now the production team says that even a B score is no longer safe, and there is a high probability that you will be eliminated?!

It's like watching a fire in someone else's house, only to find that the fire has spread to your own house.

"The only safe thing is to get an A grade. At the same time, after this period, the scoring requirements will be much higher, and the number of places will be limited. In other words, it will not be as easy to get an A grade as before. No matter how well you perform, as long as you don't perform as well as others, then I'm sorry, you still can't get an A grade."

"Now, let's announce the rules for this round of eliminations."

After hearing this, many students felt a little numb.

This acceleration is too fast, it's too unexpected...

The host laughed and pressed the button in his hand, and the content on the big screen changed.

She went on to explain: "First, as I said, students in C and D no longer have any safety guarantees. Everyone is likely to be eliminated."

"The specific rules are also very simple. All students with D scores will compete with each other to determine one winner. This winner can advance to the C-level group, and all other students will be eliminated."

"what?!"

"Only one?!"

"With so many people, only one can survive... It feels a bit too cruel."

"No, it's not that only one person can survive. Pay attention to what the host said. Only one person can be promoted to Group C. That's all!"

"Yes, the host just said that the people in Group C may also be 'eliminated'..."

"Ah... Doesn't that mean that all the students in Group D are eliminated directly, unless a miracle happens?"

"Not necessarily... Let's take a look at the situation in Group C first. It's possible that all members will be eliminated, but I don't think it will be as strict as Group D."

There is a high possibility that all members of Group D will be eliminated, while the possibility of all members being eliminated cannot be ruled out for Group C.

There should be a big difference between the two.

At least that’s how the students comfort themselves.

At this time, the big screen did not continue to turn the pages.

The host introduced the elimination rules for Group C: "The elimination rules for Group C are the same as those for Group D, except that three students will remain in the end and advance to Group B to participate in the elimination round of Group B."

Very simple introduction.

But it caused an even greater uproar at the scene.

In other words, this rule means that out of all the people in groups C and D, only 3 people can advance to the next stage? !
No, just advance to Class B!
These three people may still be eliminated!

It's totally different from what they imagined, the more relaxed rules!
The elimination of Group C was equally brutal!

What about Group B?
Could it be that only a few people could be left behind?

At this time, the host slowly turned the page on the big screen, which showed the elimination rules for Group B.

"In Group B, the elimination rules are not so strict. After all, everyone has performed well, so they should be given another chance." The host laughed, "So, it's a two-by-two elimination method. Of course, the matching method is not random, but a mechanism that matches high-scoring students with low-scoring students."

Although they are all rated B, there are still differences between the same grades.

Some are only half a step away from A, while others are almost falling to C.

The matching mechanism is that high scores are matched with low scores. The higher the score, the easier it is, until the average score starts to have no advantage. Once it reaches below the average score, you have to move forward with a heavy burden.

"Ah? Still a strong team against a weak team?! Then those who advance from Group D and Group C will have to face those big guys who are almost A-rated, right? This could really wipe out the whole team!"

it's over...

Isn’t this too hellish?
The host continued, "Students with A scores are safe for now. At the same time, the team that won the group competition just now can gain a slight advantage."

"The program team will arrange a revival match. There is only one spot available. The eliminated contestants from the winning camp can compete for this spot."

"Well, now that all the rules have been announced... Students, you now have two hours to rest. Please take advantage of it. This may be your last performance on this show!"

"Finally, I would like to remind all the students in Group A who are currently safe. Please do not relax and do not let your guard down... because in the next round, even you will no longer be safe."

After hearing the host's words, the other students, who had originally looked painful, finally relaxed a little.

Great.

It doesn’t matter if you are unlucky, as long as others are unlucky too, then there is no problem!
"All-round AOE." Xu Feng laughed and looked at Bai Yao, "It looks like someone in our group is going to be eliminated."

In Xu Feng's group, there was one person with a D score and three with a C score... To be honest, it wouldn't be surprising if they were all eliminated.

It was conservative to say that there was a possibility of eliminating two people.

At this time, it was the members of other groups who were eager to try, while the members of Xu Feng's group looked a little solemn.

"I can't help it... We have to say goodbye anyway."

The two said goodbye to their "temporary teammates" and returned to the practice room together.

After returning to the practice room, everyone except the two who received A scores had serious expressions on their faces.

It was completely different from how it was when we were celebrating just now.

Who would have thought that the elimination rules this time would be so cruel?
This eliminates more than half of the students in one go!
There may even be some groups that are left with only two people after this round of eliminations!
The joy of the group's victory was suddenly diluted a lot.

To be honest, the reward for this victory is very generous - a chance to be resurrected, which is enough to show the sincerity of the program team and the importance of the competition.

But... if we divide the burden among each individual, the chance is so slim that it is almost impossible to count on.

So many people, one seat?
Basically just take a look.

I couldn’t compete with others in so many positions before, can I succeed now with just one more position?

"Alas... Although I knew that the day of leaving would come, I didn't expect it to come so soon. This production team really knows what rhythm is."

"This sudden acceleration caught everyone off guard..."

"It doesn't matter. The real battle has just begun. Maybe we can break through successfully. There are so many places for promotion. There may be miracles!"

"We want to advance, and the other groups want to switch groups... We are all very motivated, haha!"
