Chapter 325: Against each other

Chapter 325

Nan XiangWan simply lowered her head to play with her hat while waiting for the results to be announced.

Guan Liangzhe tried every trick in the book to liven up the atmosphere in addition to establishing cordial relationships with several singers, but the reactions from the others were neither enthusiastic nor cold, and the real-time vote tally also seemed to take longer than usual this time.

Guan Liangzhe's lips were almost chapped from all that talking!

Such anxiety! Why hasn't it come out yet?

What was the backstage doing? Hurry up!

The live audience and the on-site audience were also beginning to stir; the vote counting for the fourth round this time was very slow.

At this time backstage, the general director Zhang Rui was shouldering the pressure while making a phone call to Yan Qin.

Zhang Rui: "Teacher Yan, we've done this show for so many seasons, and have never rigged the votes."

Yan Qin: "I know, and I also understand your difficulties, but I really cannot accept today's vote tally this time. Can you recount it?"

Zhang Rui: "Our staff has recounted it more than five times already, Wu Sisi was indeed the last place..."

Yan Qin: "Director Zhang Rui, you have to understand, Wu Sisi has won two Golden Melody Awards, both her skills and popularity are obvious for all to see. For her to be eliminated in the fourth round, that would be unacceptable!"

Zhang Rui: "Teacher Yan Qin, I really have no way, just because she won the Golden Melody Awards, I can't eliminate other innocent contestants to keep her on stage, right?"

Yan Qin: "How about this, everyone performed poorly this round, can we suspend eliminations for a round? Let no one leave?"

Zhang Rui: "......"

Yan Qin: "And I feel that the song Nan XiangWan sang didn't seem to be related to the theme of loneliness at all. She was almost jumping around on stage, how can you call that lonely?"

Zhang Rui: "Uh, the name of that song was called 'Lonely'."

Yan Qin: "Alright, let's not talk about Nan XiangWan. How about you and I meet halfway, you don't eliminate Wu Sisi, and I won't ask you to eliminate anyone else. No one gets eliminated this round, how about it?"

Zhang Rui: "......" Damn old hag is so annoying!

Yan Qin: "Director Zhang, this is my final bottom line!"

Zhang Rui: "Fine, but just this once."

Yan Qin: "Of course, Wu Sisi made a mistake today, she will surely perform normally next round. As long as she sings well, her ranking will naturally be near the top."

Zhang Rui: "Let's not chat anymore Teacher Yan, my audience here is still waiting!"

After hanging up the call, Zhang Rui cursed and grumbled as he pulled over the roster and casually scratched out and rearranged things, before handing off to the announcer.

On stage.

Guan Liangzhe was already out of tricks, if the rankings weren't announced soon he'd just have to stand there blankly with the 8 singers.

Fortunately just as he was about to lose it, he finally got the cue and the big screen subtitle lit up! Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Everyone greeted each other amicably.

However, as they walked past Wu Sisi’s dressing room, Nan XiangWan’s gaze inadvertently swept in through the door left slightly ajar and saw Yan Qin inside.

Damn!

This lady still here so late?

Beside Yan Qin sat Wu Sisi, looking harshly through the crack in the door over at them.

Nan XiangWan shrugged, and left with Xiao Dong.

What are you looking at? You wanna go!?

Inside the dressing room.

Yan Qin’s expression was extremely ugly. In the afternoon she had urged the entire Singers Association to collectively issue statements to boycott Nan Xiangwan.

But surprisingly, those who had readily agreed earlier, when it came time agreed on, only Yan Qin herself issued a statement. The others who had verbally promised were all missing.

When Yan Qin tried contacting them again, she found everyone had disappeared: no reply to messages and calls wouldn’t go through.

Following that, she watched with her own eyes, at the #1 trending searched terms:

【Nan XiangWan’s Air Force promotional video】

Pulling it down to look, she found this trending search had lasted 2 days already, still going strong.

The fans had already been praising and commenting on it for cycles, coupled with the additional support likes from random passersby having seen it, the current like count already exceeded 100 million!

Underneath this hot search ranking #1, the #2 trending video was Nan XiangWan’s performance that day on “The Singer”.

Video editing and compilation were done quickly; no sooner had she finished singing than it was uploaded and trending.

The video subtitles were also perfectly done, no mistakes: the variety of comments below were endless.

And so, taking up the #1 and #2 trending searches were all Nan XiangWan but different content, basking her in the limelight this weekend.

Yan Qin, upon seeing all this, only felt a sudden buzzing in her head!

Especially that Air Force promo video, it had been on the news!

Yan Qin’s hands shook as she quickly deleted the statement she had released earlier.

But unfortunately she had been much too confident earlier, and that post had only been up for over 2 hours but was already seen by many people who also took screenshots, and some media had promptly reported on it as well.

【LOL! Nan XiangWan had just been praised by CCTV, only to be immediately boycotted and suppressed by Singers Association’s Yan Qin!】

【Can the older generation of artists openly oppose CCTV?】

【Yan Qin goes all out to support goddaughter Wu Sisi and takes a stand against Nan XiangWan!】
