It was announcing the start of the competition!
"It seems to be in order..."
Yu Xin Xin murmured after listening to the broadcast for a while.
It should be that whoever is called goes up.
Qiu Xi nodded as she watched the people already walking onto the stage.
"It should be like this, and look, I've roughly counted the people who went up, and if there are no problems, there should be 10 people."
According to the rules of the group arena competition, it goes without saying that they should be grouped in fives.
Yu Xin Xin also looked up at the stage and nodded along with Qiu Xi.
"There are indeed 10 people."
"Let's go, let's move up and get closer."
The first batch went up like this, so this is an opportunity, and we should move forward and take a good look.
Moreover, these people might be opponents in the later rounds, or even in this round. It's never wrong to take a good look.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's move forward."
It was obvious that those who had reached this point were not stupid. As Qiu Xi and the others moved, many people had already started to approach.
The first match was about to begin, so they couldn't miss it!
It started!
The big screen had lit up.
Topic: For our dreams, we must be brave.
This was the speech topic for the first group.
As the host just said, five people per group. Besides the two who wrote the speeches, one of the remaining three had to give a speech, and the other two had to ask questions at the end.
Of course, these last two were, in Qiu Xi's eyes, looking for faults and picking on things.
However, this way, people couldn't figure anything out for the time being.
After all, they hadn't gone up yet, so they couldn't really feel the intention.
So as soon as the topic came out, everyone quietly began to wait.
However, there were also some people who felt that the topics would cycle, so they started to study this topic together.
Yu Xin Xin was also very curious, "Xiao Xi, what do you think? This topic doesn't seem difficult, so with such a grand occasion, how will it be done?"
Qiu Xi shook her head, "Let's watch first."
You'll know when you watch...
"That's true..."
As she spoke, the two of them quieted down, their eyes fixed on the big screen in front of them.
To be honest, with this division of labor... it might be a bit difficult...
After all, they were all the chosen ones who had reached this point. Who would be willing to be outdone by whom?
As she thought about this, the big screen gave everyone the answer.
The two groups had more or less some disputes, and the red stopwatch countdown next to them kept reminding everyone that time was constantly flowing.
Finally, after about 10 minutes, a few people stopped discussing and began to write.
After another half an hour, the speeches were handed over, and the countdown for the speeches began.
In about 10 minutes, the two speakers walked to the center of the stage one after another, and the speeches were about to begin.
"So that's how it is..."
After the first person's speech ended, Qiu Xi realized it.
As expected, she was still nervous, and she hadn't thought of this at all.
Two people wrote it, and another person gave the speech. There was a lot of difference in between!
It was difficult to memorize an unfamiliar speech, even if you were given 10 minutes!
What's more, this speech was a collaboration between two people...
So by the time the two speakers finished reading, most people below were actually dissatisfied.
Because it wasn't off-the-cuff, the performance was acceptable, at least they read it quite fluently.
It's just that the emotion couldn't be conveyed...
However, the competition didn't give people much time to think. The final "find fault" moment began!
I don't know how well everyone listened...
This was a difficult task!
It not only tested the contestants' listening skills but also their logical thinking abilities.
If you're going to ask others, you can't just ask anything, right?
Otherwise, if the final result came out, it would be destined to be a laughingstock.
So it was difficult to understand, and it was even more difficult to ask well!
And the contestants from the first two groups who went up first had obviously... become lab rats...
Group A was the first to ask questions. The two of them wisely chose two very conservative questions, because this was what their group thought they had heard and were sure of, and could guarantee correct content.
Although it was a bit simple and direct, there was no other way. To avoid mistakes, they could only do this.
On the other hand, the people from Group B were very slow in answering, which was a bit unexpected.
The result was obvious: they were not familiar enough with their own speeches...
Finally, when it was time to ask questions, Group B asked one difficult and one easy question.
Group A was still okay. Although they stammered and stumbled a bit, the result was good.
After the process, it finally came to the final voting session.
Besides the 10 judges on stage, there were also 100 audience members below.
This was what the host had just announced. Only 100 people in the audience had the right to score.
Judges accounted for 70%, the audience for 20%, and the final 10%... came from the internal scoring of the groups!
For a moment, it surprised many people.
There was infighting?
The reason was unknown, but it was very surprising to everyone!
They didn't know the specific scoring tables because the judges said that the results of the first two groups would not be released until the next two groups' competitions ended.
So, after 5 minutes, the next round of group PK began.
Learning from the experience of the previous two groups, the next two groups who went up were much more composed. At least their discussions were quick, and the person in the middle who gave the speech and the two who wrote the speeches clearly communicated a lot. The whole process was much smoother than the first two groups.
However, there was still a small hitch in the final question segment. After a long period of hesitation, they finally managed to finish speaking.
"Time's up!"
"The competition has ended."
The timing was really good, it ended right after they spoke.
At this time, the scores of the first two groups also came out.
To everyone's surprise, the scores were projected directly, not by group, but by individual.
A string of scores followed, with the scores of the 10 people clearly displayed.
It was truly... a grand gesture!
This way, the audience members who were scoring below... probably weren't randomly chosen either, right?
Just as everyone was still wondering and surprised, the host had already started calling the next group to go up.
