Chapter 110 Stop Showing Off

As the most popular contestant in the last episode, Xu Rui chose to appear in front this time, which naturally doubled the pressure on the contestants who followed.

After singing "Into the Sea", it can be said that Xu Rui has firmly occupied a place in the top eight. Even in the eyes of many viewers, the champion of "Original New Generation" has lost suspense.

Rao Qiufeng and He Mengyu looked at each other, and both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. They thought that the news of Xu Rui's cheating a few days ago would give the other party a heavy blow, but they didn't expect the reversal to be so fast.

Although the two are now in different groups, they belong to the same agency. Both of them have asked the agency about the company's follow-up plans.

What frustrated them was that the agency did not hide it. If Xu Rui was only slightly ahead, the company would try again, but Xu Rui exploded. Even if the company wanted to spend money to make tickets, the Ku Miao platform would not agree, and they had to consider Shenghua Entertainment.

Although there are rumors that Xu Rui and Shenghua Entertainment have a bet, so Shenghua Entertainment will not make a move on this show, but when can rumors in the entertainment industry be true? The two were originally here to gild themselves. If they can't win the championship, it's fine. There's no need to fight to the death with Shenghua Entertainment.

The most important thing the agent didn't say was that the company had already done anti-explosion measures and asked people to dig up Xu Rui's background and black material. At first, they didn't find any information until Xu Shu appeared. As a result, everyone decided not to provoke him.

On the stage, the mentors were still praising Xu Rui.

Wei Yumeng said: "Although the arrangement includes piano, guitar, drums, and cello, it doesn't sound complicated. It's still very simple and pure, and it's really nice to listen to."

Bai Maojie then commented: "I think you are a very well-structured singer-songwriter. The few songs you have sung so far have not been sung from your own perspective. Songs sung from your own perspective are generally very personal and not so easy to resonate with the audience, but your songs are really, everyone can hear their own side in them, which is really amazing, even our mentors may not be able to do it."

When Bai Maojie said this, many viewers were excited.

"Have you noticed that Bai Maojie's evaluation of Xu Rui is getting higher and higher."

"Isn't he an illegitimate child?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Teacher Bai Maojie really cherishes talents, and only when Xu Rui meets or exceeds his expectations in every episode can he say that."

At this time, Tang Bie joked: "How about I go on stage next time, and you sit in my seat?"

It was a joke, but also a strong support for Bai Maojie's evaluation.

"I think a lot of people want to hear Mr. Tang Biao sing a song on stage. As for me, it's good to sit next to him and listen." Xu Rui pointed to the contestant seat and responded calmly.

"No, no, no, the audience still wants to hear you sing more now." Tang Biao praised generously.

Jiang Hantao and Wu Zhou also praised him one after another.

"How is the vote?" Ma Zhiru asked backstage.

The staff looked up and said, "More than 610,000 votes in real-time voting."

"So many?" Ma Zhiru was a little surprised. When Xu Rui sang "Run to", he was already far ahead with more than 300,000 votes. Now it can be seen how many viewers and traffic the last episode brought to the program.

But the audience who saw the votes on the big screen didn't think so, and they complained.

"Why are there so few votes?"

"Yes, didn't KuMiao claim that the number of VIP users on the platform exceeded 70 million?"

"The data of "Original New Generation" shows that in the first three episodes, if the first episode is counted as two episodes, the total number of broadcasts of the four episodes is over 100 million. How come there are only 610,000 people who voted?"

"It's not calculated that way. It's already a hit to have so many people watching at the same time!"

Ma Zhiru didn't care about the audience's complaints at all. What he cared about was how much the real-time data would change after Xu Rui finished singing.

Staring at the screen, he saw that after Xu Rui left the stage, the background data dropped rapidly, which was lower than he expected, but this was understandable. Since he was here, he could listen to whether the remaining contestants could bring surprises. If there were no good works, then next time, he might really come just for Xu Rui.

Sending Xu Rui to the finals was something that didn't need to be considered, and Ma Zhiru also understood that with Xu Rui's strength, he didn't need him to operate behind the scenes, he just needed him to refuse to operate behind the scenes for others.

"Life does need a bit of luck." Who would have thought that the show would suddenly become popular? Ma Zhiru sighed and continued to pay attention to the next performance.

After Xu Rui's performance, there were no more people listening to the songs in the small restaurant. A group of people talked about their favorite movies, actors and directors.

Zou Xianzheng talked endlessly: "I like Director Luo Jingchuan. He is so amazing. The first horror movies I watched were Japanese ones. The way of scaring people was very direct. The ghosts were designed to be scary. The way they appeared was usually sudden, appearing from behind or coming out of the TV.

Later, I watched the horror movies directed by Luo Jingchuan and found that they were very different. He really told a horror story, making you feel scared of the whole story, not just afraid of ghosts."

Others also joined the discussion.

"Indeed, Luo Jingchuan can tell stories but not special effects. Oh, will I be banned if I spread this?"

"Director Luo is not so stingy, and there are too many people who say this about him, haha."

"I think it's mainly because he's used to being poor. If Director Luo shoots more big productions, he'll get used to it. Unfortunately, we don't dare to ask him now."

"Nonsense, it's possible that he'll get used to it after shooting a few movies. The question is who's willing to be a stepping stone."

"I heard that his latest movie, The Conjuring, has started filming. It should be good."

"It must be good." Yan Ran, who had not participated in the topic just now, suddenly spoke up.

Zou Xianzheng asked hurriedly: "Senior, are you also a fan of Director Luo?"

Yan Ran tilted her head and thought for a while: "It's okay. In fact, I'm more of a fan of the creator of The Conjuring script."

"Who?" Zou Xianzheng asked.

"Keep it a secret."

Speaking of the script, Wang Jinghan asked: "By the way, senior, who wrote the script for our movie? Did you write it?"

Yan Ran shook her head: "No, I adapted the story that Xu Rui told me."

"Who?" Everyone widened their eyes. They had never heard Yan Ran mention it before, and they had never seen her mention it when she was directing and interpreting the script for them.

"My boyfriend." Yan Ran was a little proud.

"Wow!!!"

"Really? So awesome."

Amidst the praise, a different opinion popped up: "Director Yan, if you're afraid that we'll eat too much, just say so. Can't we stop adding more dishes after we finish eating all these on the table? Stop showing off. If you keep showing off, we won't be able to eat all these on the table."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Ah... I don't." Yan Ran was a little embarrassed to be teased, but she didn't seem to be that embarrassed. She held Du Xiao with one hand and slapped the table with the other hand, "If you don't agree, go find someone. Anyway, I told you to order whatever you want. Don't blame me if you can't eat it!"

Everyone was indignant when they heard it, especially the singles. If you can't find a partner, you can't eat poorly?

"Director Yan, this is what you said, boss, bring the menu!"
