After taking advice, I became a top male idol.

With the host's shout, the entire studio erupted in cheers!

"boom--!!!"

Many audience members, whether they were Lin Zhixing's fans or just passersby, stood up from their seats, waving their glow sticks wildly and shouting the same name.

"Lin Zhixing!"

"Lin Zhixing!!"

"Lin Zhixing!!!"

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

This is no ordinary advancement; this is a desperate comeback!

Only 0.1 points!

This insignificant 0.1 point, however, felt like a heavy blow, a resounding slap in the face to those who tried to manipulate the game!

......

A corner of the audience seats.

Zhou Xuan suddenly stood up, took off her mask, and screamed without regard for her image.

"We won! We won!"

Zhou Xuan waved her glow stick, her face full of excitement, "As expected of the person I've chosen!"

Her eyes were shining.

Lin Zhixing, you finally didn't disappoint me.

0.1 points, just barely passing the mark. Even movies wouldn't dare to make a script like this!

But that's exactly what happened in such a dramatic way!

In the back row, a middle-aged man took off his glasses and wiped the corner of his eye.

"This is a real competition!" he exclaimed. "No script, no pre-arranged results, it's purely based on skill! This vote was worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

"So what if it's a conspiracy? So what if it's capital?" A young man next to him waved his fist, his face flushed. "In the face of absolute power, they're all paper tigers! Lin Zhixing is awesome!"

"Yes! That's our idol! Without relying on a company or resources, just with a great song, he still managed to break through the competition!"

......

The mentor's seat.

Ye Lan sat in the chair, looking at the somewhat thin figure on the stage under the spotlight.

She clapped enthusiastically, her eyes filled with admiration and pride.

These are her students.

Despite being suppressed by capital and smeared by the media, she can still conquer everyone with a single song.

"Sister Lan, you've really struck gold this time." Han Xuening's eyes were slightly red. "It's so touching! This is truly a miracle! 0.1 points! This is like something out of a movie!"

"Yes," Ye Lan smiled, "but he deserves it."

Brother Li was so excited that he slammed his fist on the table. "That's awesome! That's fucking awesome! I love watching this kind of show! It's even more exciting than rock music! If I had swiveled my chair earlier, this kid might be mine!"

"You wish," Han Xuening rolled her eyes at him.

Looking at the scores on the big screen, Shen Ming said, "This is not only Lin Zhixing's victory, but also a victory for good music. The audience's score of 99 says it all. The audience isn't stupid; they know what good music is."

The mentors exchanged knowing glances.

These are all seasoned veterans who have been in this industry for so many years. Who wouldn't see through today's trickery?

......

Media jury.

The music critics who accepted Xinghuang's red envelopes looked extremely grim.

They all kept their heads down, not daring to look at the big screen, let alone the disdainful looks from the surrounding audience.

They wanted to lower the score and get rid of Lin Zhixing.

But to their utter surprise, the audience judges gave them an incredible score of 99!

"This...this is impossible..." A music critic wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "99 points? Have these viewers gone mad?"

"It's over... This mission is a disaster. How are we going to explain this to Xinghuang?" Another music critic looked ashen.

Meanwhile, those music critics who stuck to their principles and gave high scores were now gloating, their faces full of disdain.

"Serves you right! You made money by going against your conscience! Now you've met your match!"

"The eyes of the masses are discerning! Justice resides in the hearts of the people!"

......

The players' lounge backstage.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Chen Xi jumped up from the sofa and hugged Song Zixuan, crying and laughing at the same time.

"We won! Brother Zhixing won! That's amazing, waaaaah..."

Song Zixuan, her eyes also red, patted her back, "Yes, Brother Zhixing is amazing. Although I was eliminated, I'm very happy to see him advance."

Li Bowen was so excited he was almost incoherent, shouting, "Awesome! Brother Lin is awesome! This is a true master! He carried the whole team!"

Even the usually composed Gu Qingzhou was visibly shocked.

He stared at the score on the screen, speechless for a long time.

"0.1 points..."

He shook his head with a wry smile.

Not far away, the other contestants in Group D had various expressions.

Jiang Mubai sat there, looking at the man who had pushed him down, without much resentment, but rather a sense of relief.

"Losing to him... is not unjust."

Jiang Mubai sighed, "This song, 'Sunny Day,' is indeed more moving than my 'The Rain Keeps Falling.' That sense of regret in youth is so captivating."

in the corner.

Zhang Xianyu stared at the screen, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.

"No...this is impossible..."

"Why? Why did he win? The media ratings were so low! Were those viewers blind?!"

"99 points? Cheating! It must be cheating!"

He suddenly stood up, wanting to rush out and confront the production team.

"Are you crazy?!"

Zhang Yue held him tightly, lowering her voice angrily, "What do you think you're doing? The whole place is cheering for him right now. If you go out and cause trouble, you'll only make yourself look worse!"

"He doesn't deserve it! He doesn't deserve it!" Zhang Xianyu struggled. "I spent so much money and hired so many people, why did I still lose to him?!"

Looking at Zhang Xianyu, who seemed to be going crazy, Zhang Yue felt a wave of despair.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

Not only did they fail to suppress Lin Zhixing, but they also allowed him to step on Xinghuang's face and ascend to the altar step by step.

Now that she's back, Mr. Liu will definitely not let her off the hook!

"Lin Zhixing..." Sister Zhang gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment, "You just wait!"

……

on the stage.

Lin Zhixing stood under the spotlight, listening to the thunderous cheers around him, and looking at the faces of those below the stage who were crying and shouting for him.

His mood, however, was surprisingly calm.

Suppressed?

Was the trending topic bought?

What does this tell us?

This means you're popular and valuable!

If you're just obscure, no one will even glance at you; you're not worth the trouble others would go to such lengths to mess with you.

Nobody cares when the lower classes fight to the death.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on it.

The road to fame is inherently winding; it is never smooth sailing.

It's not Xinghuang causing trouble today; once he grows up and gets in someone else's way, he'll be dealt with just the same way.

In this world, capital is power.

How powerful is capital?

Great.

But so what?

He has an entire world behind him!

He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the crowd to the media section.

There, several judges who had just given him low scores were now bowing their heads, avoiding eye contact with him.

Lin Zhixing smiled.

Oh.

The host walked over to him and excitedly raised his hand: "Let's congratulate Lin Zhixing again! He's advanced to the finals!"

"Lin Zhixing! Lin Zhixing!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers once again.

Countless colorful ribbons fell from the sky and landed on his shoulders.

At this moment, he was the only king in the entire arena!

……

Backstage director's monitoring room.

Xia Xue looked at Lin Zhixing on the big screen and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Not bad, not bad. Although it was a bit of a thrill, Auntie is very satisfied with you.

Although the process was a bit thrilling, the result was good.

Lin Zhixing has advanced.

And they advanced in the most dramatic way.

This topic's popularity, this buzz...

Tsk tsk.

The ratings for the next episode are guaranteed.

"Well done, Lin Zhixing."

Xia Xue murmured to herself, "You mustn't let me down."
