The two internet celebrities who lit up their lights were the same two who had initially turned theirs off.
Now, they were somewhat bewildered.
They didn't know how to choose.
After exchanging glances, the two gritted their teeth and decided to stick to their original judgment.
"I don't care about past styles; I just feel their song and today's performance were impeccable!" declared a newly popular internet celebrity, only in his twenties, who had gained fame by covering songs by Ting Yu.
"I feel the same way. It's rare for a song to make me cry, but this one did," said another internet celebrity, also a cover artist, tears still streaking his face.
However, even with their support, only two lights were illuminated.
The internet celebrities on the judging panel who had turned off their lights looked at the two as if they were idiots.
This meant the song would be directly eliminated, and the producer's information could not be revealed!
"How is this possible?" Shen Qingling was dumbfounded.
"Are you guys that unprofessional?" Shen Qingfeng wanted to swear.
But he held back.
After all, this was a live broadcast.
The program team was also bewildered by this situation.
They had never expected a song by Ting Yu to be eliminated.
That's right, the program team definitely knew that this song was written by Ting Yu.
They just wanted to make the show more authentic, so they hadn't informed the internet celebrity review panel. After all, no one could have predicted that these people would all follow Hao Danteng's lead, criticizing such an amazing song by bringing up "style."
"What should we do?" a staff member asked the executive director.
"How the hell should I know!" The executive director took off his headphones and grumbled.
He paced back and forth in anger, "Who invited Hao Danteng?"
Someone timidly replied, "I think it was you..."
The executive director paused, then waved his hand awkwardly, "Alright, notify the host through the earpieces to add a temporary audience vote segment. We must expose the producer, no matter what. This time, we are carrying the significant task of Ting Yu responding to netizens' questions, and we cannot let a minor internet celebrity ruin it."
Within the program team, only the executive director and a few high-level executives knew what this episode entailed.
When they learned that Ting Yu would be responding on the show, they were ecstatic.
This was the hottest and biggest piece of gossip on the entire internet.
This wave of traffic was enough to make the program team immensely wealthy.
But now, the situation had been brought to this point by a minor internet celebrity.
The executive director's teeth ached with anger.
...
The host was already waiting for instructions from the program team.
Upon hearing about the temporary addition of an audience vote segment, he quickly put on a smile and walked to the front of the stage: "Seeing the controversy on the internet among our live audience, we have decided to temporarily add an online voting segment. Now, there are 'like' and 'dislike' options in the live stream. Everyone can vote for this song in the live stream. The voting period is three minutes, and the final result will be decided by the option with more votes!"
After the host finished speaking.
Hao Danteng was stunned.
He remembered that the program did not have this segment.
Could they add scripts on the fly?
Not only him, but the other internet celebrities who had followed his lead were also stunned.
They were all veterans of the show and had never encountered such a situation.
Why was there an audience voting segment?
However, the audience became excited.
The live audience members quickly took out their phones and opened the live stream.
And the viewers who were already in the live stream were instantly overjoyed.
"Damn it, this idiot Hao Danteng, I think he's really got balls of steel, such a great song, and he's talking about styles and other nonsense."
"I remember this guy used to praise Ting Yu all the time. Now he's constantly saying Ting Yu's reputation is bad. He's a fence-sitter who's still trying to milk Ting Yu's fame. I never thought anyone could be this thick-skinned."
"Those two idiotic internet celebrities too, without any backbone, daring to turn off their lights. They're really something else."
"Haha, I really hope they get depression and then listen to this song, maybe they'll find resonance."
"I don't have depression, but this song made me cry. In my heart, it's absolutely a masterpiece!"
"This song, 'Hǎidǐ' (Under the Sea), is definitely the best cure for people with depression!"
"I really want to see who could write such an amazing song!"
"You guys think, could it be Ting Yu?"
"Impossible, right? Ting Yu writes songs for Fengling Chuanqi, would he give Shen Qingfeng so many lyrics?"
"Haha, you made me laugh, Shen Qingfeng hasn't had this many lines in a long time."
The three minutes passed quickly.
The vote statistics appeared on the big screen.
Likes: 1,868,892 votes
Dislikes: 5,390 votes
With over 200,000 viewers in the live stream, the outcome was obvious!
Except for some viewers who didn't vote, the majority had voted to like.
Hao Danteng stared at the big screen, completely dumbfounded.
This wasn't a formal competition program to begin with; it was, at best, an entertainment show.
So, everyone wasn't very professional.
It wouldn't pass, and that would be it, maybe just a few scoldings.
But now, the program team had directly slapped them in the face, which they hadn't expected.
Was this participation a betrayal by the program team?
He suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.
Not only him, but the other internet celebrities beside him also looked displeased.
Some cast resentful glances at Hao Danteng.
Today was a huge embarrassment, all because of this Hao Danteng. If he hadn't made such a blind choice, they would definitely have liked Fengling Chuanqi!
Compared to these eight internet celebrities on the judging panel, the two who had liked the song were overjoyed!
They had thought they would be made a fool of, but they never expected it to turn out like this.
Life is truly unpredictable, like a thousand twists and turns!
...
"Haha, it seems everyone really likes this song. In that case, I declare 'Hǎidǐ' passed!"
"Then, let's see who the producer of this song is. Please look at the big screen!"
Beep!
Beep!
After the host finished speaking.
A countdown appeared on the big screen.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Boom!
The black block covering the producer's name instantly disappeared!
Then, all the information about the song 'Hǎidǐ' appeared before everyone.
'Hǎidǐ'
Performed by: Fengling Chuanqi
Lyrics by: Ting Yu
Music by: Ting Yu
Upon seeing the producer's information,
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
A look of bewilderment appeared on everyone's faces, and this bewilderment gradually turned into shock.
Ting Yu!
This song 'Hǎidǐ' was actually written by Ting Yu!
"Hiss..."
When everyone recovered, a wave of gasps filled the venue!
...
