Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 53 Fault Leads
"Gu Jingyi, we will stay with you till the end!"

"Fly high towards your dreams, Gu Jingyi!"

"Jing travels the world, Yi rules the world!"

Gu Jingyi once thought about what it would feel like to stand on the stage again and be surrounded by the love of the audience.

He thought he would be nervous and excited, but when the moment really came, Gu Jingyi's emotions miraculously did not fluctuate at all.

Gu Jingyi bathed in the warm light of the stage, his mind clearer than ever before.

It was as if he belonged on the stage, surrounded by people and loved by everyone.

Zhang Yixing stood in the center of the stage again and announced that Group B of "Cant Stop" would come on stage.

"Ah, Brother Jingyi can sing so well with a hand mic, and he's so handsome, is he a human?"

"That's amazing! I wish we could have this level of strength someday."

"It's not an exaggeration to call him a big shot. Gu Jingyi has really raised the ceiling of the show by his own efforts."

Gu Jingyi, who had just stood behind the stage waiting for the result of the duel, heard the shouting of the trainees.

Jeffrei, who was wearing a business smile, had a hint of stiffness on his face. This duel did not leave him any chance of winning from the beginning.

The members of Group B have already entered the stage, but the cheers and screams from the audience still haven't stopped.

Zhang Yixin felt a little embarrassed and immediately spoke up to interrupt the atmosphere.

"Okay, now it's the members of Team B from 'Can't Stop' who are coming up."

The fans’ reactions at the scene were mediocre. The expressions on the faces of the trainees in Group B were somewhat unnatural, and the self-introductions they had carefully prepared were not very useful at this time.

In the lounge
The trainees sighed again and again, and the discussion about Gu Jingyi never stopped.

His performance today was truly amazing, especially the second half of the song was so stunning that I can’t imagine how his popularity will skyrocket after it’s aired.

Perhaps after this episode, a pattern of one super power and many strong powers will be formed.

The trainees would occasionally glance at Cai Xukun, trying to discern his thoughts from his expression. Perhaps from today on, no one would be able to check and balance Gu Jingyi anymore.

Cai Xukun had a blank expression on his face, but his embarrassment and clenched teeth still gave him away.

He looked at Gu Jingyi's inner turmoil, as if no matter what time, he was always suppressed by Gu Jingyi and lived under the other's shadow.

When Group B took the stage, the audience's response was muted. A short while later, Group B also finished their roadshow and stood in the waiting area on stage, waiting for the audience's vote.

The two groups of members were in the same room and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Every member of Group A is in high spirits and full of fighting spirit.

The members of Group B all looked frustrated because they could not feel the enthusiasm of the audience. Their minds were confused and they did not perform well.

The audience had already completed their voting, and Zhang Yixing appeared in the center of the stage to cue the process.

"boom"

Accompanied by a sudden sound effect, the large screen behind the crowd suddenly lit up. The names of the ten members appeared one after another, divided into two columns.

The audience's voting results also appeared.

[Zhu Zhengting: 97, Gary: 8 (Dance)]

[Zheng Ruibin: 13, Han Mubo: 22 (Vocal)]

You Changjing: 23, Ling Chao: 33 (Vocal)

[Lin Chaoze: 18, Wang Zihao: 6 (Dance)]

[Fan Chengcheng: 32, Xu Shengen: 9 (Rap)]

[Justin: 43, Qin Feng: 21 (Rap)]

According to the displayed results, the total votes are 226:99!

"what?"

Justin glanced at the vote count. Although Group A definitely won, there wasn't a huge gap.

However, the votes for the two C positions have not yet come out, and the members of Group A are looking at Gu Jingyi with some admiration.

In Group B, Jeffre also forced himself to stay alert and look at the big screen.

What if, what if he wins unexpectedly? Maybe all the fans in the upper circle will unite and not vote for Gu Jingyi.

Gu Jingyi won, but it was not glorious.

It was even more shameful for Gu Jingyi to lose.

Regardless of whether he stepped on Heng Gu Jingyi to get to the top, if he wins, he can tell the company to arrange all the press releases to hype up Gu Jingyi.

Jeffre had some plans in mind, but reality gave him a blow.

Gu Jingyi: 327, Jeffre: 26 (Vocal)

Direct tulle, quite dazzling data.

Although both are in the C position, Jeffree’s votes are not even a fraction of Gu Jingyi’s.

Some members of Group B took a look and then looked away.

A vote disparity that is too great is actually a public execution.

Jeffre felt dizzy and almost fainted, even though he knew it was a losing battle and there would be a gap.

But I didn't expect the gap to be so huge. I don't even have a fraction of theirs.

Cai Xukun's 85 votes had already given Jeffre confidence. Perhaps Gu Jingyi's votes wouldn't be too high either?

[Program crew, what the hell are you doing?]
Jeffre cursed fiercely in his heart. Several team members stepped forward to help him, but Jeffree thought they were taking advantage of him and pushed them away.

The production team who were resentful of Jeffree after he broke down actually felt aggrieved. It's not that they didn't want to suppress votes.

Even the "First A" was edited by Gu Jingyi. Don't they dare to suppress the votes?
But before the performance, the documentary "Gu Jingyi's Donuts" went viral with the line "This is his fifth year".

Gu Jingyi's line, "There was a time when I was very close to my dream, and then I woke up from it," became a popular saying, becoming a "fan-torturing golden line" and countless fans know his story.

Just editing a "First A" and Gu Jingyi's fans are going crazy. Related hot searches are coming up one after another. Even removing it would cost a lot of money.

Before the performance, "Gu Jingyi's Donuts" joined forces with more than a dozen major websites to send a message to "Idol Producer".

They will clear the votes for the first public performance one by one. If the production team wants to suppress votes, they should be smart.

The Kiwi platform also called the program team and they tore up the script of the "equal vote" between Gu Jingyi and Chen Linong that was originally arranged.

"Ahhh, Brother Jingyi is so strong!"

"So handsome, worthy of being Emperor Jing!"

"This is too good! It's over 300!"

"More than our entire group combined..."

At the same time, the members of Group A also cheered.

The total votes for Group A were 553:125, a complete crushing victory.

After all the groups finished their performances and all the fans left, the production team notified all the trainees to gather at the front. PD Zhang walked onto the stage and announced the eight winning groups from the live voting, as well as their ranking by total votes.

Gu Jingyi won the highest number of votes with 327 votes, and Chen Linong ranked second with 210 votes.

Cai Xukun received 87 votes and ranked only ninth, while Zhu Zhengting ranked sixth with 97 votes.

When Cai Xukun saw the number of votes for Gu Jingyi, he had already gotten used to it.

If life is a movie, Cai Xukun is the protagonist. Then Gu Jingyi must be the villain, easily breaking the protagonist's defense every time he appears.

Cai Xukun looked at the number of 327 votes and no longer felt complacent.

With such a huge lead, no one can stop Gu Jingyi from reaching the top.

Cai Xukun didn't know when it started, but he no longer had any desire to compete with Gu Jingyi. In the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain.

The results of the first public opinion poll have come out, and some are happy while others are sad.

But soon Zhang Yixing brought good news that they had completed the recording of several episodes.

Next, there will be a week of rest or entertainment...

　The next update will be around 14 p.m., and business will begin.
