Chapter 80 New Proposition

As expected, all five mentors pressed the button. Xu Rui turned around and looked at the audience rating on the big screen - 82/100.

He was not disappointed. Compared with the passionate and inspirational songs in the first episode, dark songs were relatively niche. If it were not for the comparison with other contestants, the number of votes might be lower, but it was enough to advance.

Xu Rui thanked the audience and left the stage. After his performance, there were only a few contestants left out of the 30 contestants. At this time, the director paused the recording and gave some rest time. Thinking that Li Yi might be cursing in his heart, he wanted to laugh.

Although there was no ranking list, the contestants knew it in their hearts. Some contestants who had finished their performances already knew that they were eliminated. One of them even wanted to leave during the break, but was stopped by the director team.

Xu Rui went to the bathroom and came back to continue recording. The remaining contestants took the stage one by one. Li Yi had a bit of bad luck and was the last one to go on stage.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, and his song was rock and roll. A roar refreshed the sleepy audience, and he actually won the recognition of four mentors and 79 votes from the audience.

As soon as he entered the lounge, he hurried to Xu Rui and asked, "Did I advance? Did I make it?"

"Yes." Xu Rui smiled, "It seems that our fate as roommates can be extended for a while."

"Huh!" Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "At least I didn't come here in vain to pass two rounds."

At this time, the final ranking was also announced on the screen, and the last 15 contestants were unfortunately eliminated.

In the mentor seat, Wei Yumeng was a little sad: "It's really unpleasant to see so many contestants leave."

Wu Zhou said: "It's really a pity, but this is a competition after all. I hope that for these contestants, leaving is to learn better and then come back here again."

Bai Maojie nodded: "Well, if you show your talent and find the shortcomings and directions for improvement, this time will not be in vain."

Tang Yi also said: "I hope these contestants will continue to hold on to their dreams of music and don't give up. Come on!"

Jiang Hantao smiled and said: "You are still young, and there is a long way to go!"

No one knows whether the eliminated contestants are really encouraged and leave with hope. Except for their fans, others don't care. Everyone's attention is focused on the mentor seat, and it's time to set questions again.

"Are we going to set the topic again? I kind of understand what everyone wants to hear." Jiang Hantao said, "Although love songs have a wide audience, if the audience is allowed to choose, they prefer songs that are topical or have a pattern."

"Have you thought about it?" Wei Yumeng asked.

"Of course, I've been thinking about it for a week. I've been thinking about it whenever I have time this week. I'm almost bald from thinking about it. I'll write it down first." Jiang Hantao typed it directly on the tablet.

With the experience of the first issue, the others also thought about it before coming, and they were not as entangled as before.

Soon, what they wrote was displayed on the big screen.

Bai Maojie: The power of youth

Wei Yumeng: Parents

Jiang Hantao: Tribute to ()

Tang Bie: Native, what makes you who you are

Wu Zhou: Environmental protection

Jiang Hantao was full of confidence. He looked at the screen and smiled bitterly, "It seems that I'm not the only one who has found the trick to setting the topic."

"You are smart, and we are not stupid either." Tang Bie teased, "Everyone has a pattern, especially Teacher Wu Zhou."

"Yes, how did you think of environmental protection?" Wei Yumeng turned to Wu Zhou.

"I'm taking an unconventional approach. What if I'm chosen?"

In the waiting room, Li Yi whispered to Xu Rui: "He's not taking an unconventional approach. He's just playing it down. If the audience chooses him, I'll stand on my head and eat instant noodles!"

Although flag-raising is often punished, Xu Rui also felt that Li Yi had no chance this time.

The mentors updated their Weibo as soon as they finished the proposition. What surprised netizens was that this time it was not one out of five, but one out of nine. The propositions that were not chosen before were also included in the vote. For netizens with choice difficulties, it was simply torture.

"I want to choose all!" One netizen's shout was liked by hundreds of people in a short time. If it wasn't late at night when most people were asleep, and only the Xiuxian Sect was left, the likes might have exceeded thousands.

The contestants who finished recording went back to the dormitory. After two weeks of recording, some people did get to know each other better. Xu Rui didn't rush to sleep this time and said goodbye to the acquaintances who were eliminated.

The dormitory, which was once lively and even noisy, only had 15 people left in just two weeks. Such a change would inevitably affect the mood of the advanced contestants.

Everyone climbed the mountain together, but there were fewer and fewer people traveling with them. Although there was joy in getting closer to the summit, there was also a little loneliness.

Lying on the bed, Li Yi had a hard time falling asleep: "Did you sleep?"

"No." Xu Rui replied.

Li Yi looked at the ceiling and said: "I never thought that I could stay after eliminating 55 people."

Xu Rui closed his eyes and began to feel sleepy: "I just found out that you are a pessimist, which is not right. Although you always like to think of things in the worst way, you are not negative. What kind of doctrine is this?"

"How should I know? Don't analyze me. It feels like you have seen through me." Li Yi quickly changed the subject, "I said, the questions that Teacher Bai Maojie asked you today were a bit sharp."

Xu Rui smiled and said: "No, he was helping me."

"Ah?" Li Yi was puzzled.

Xu Rui said: "I sang an inspirational song in the last episode, and I tried to criticize the entertainment industry in this episode. There will definitely be people who accuse me of being a hypocrite. He raised this question and asked me to explain it. As long as my answer can win the approval of most people, it will not be able to stir up the rhythm at that time."

"Is it so deep? I can't believe it." Li Yi began to doubt his IQ, "Hey, what do you think the topic will be in the next episode?"

This time no one responded. Li Yi called again, turned his head and saw that Xu Rui had fallen asleep.

"You can fall asleep like this? No wonder you can't hear me grinding my teeth when I sleep." Li Yi sighed, turned sideways and rolled up the quilt, wrapped tightly, and tried to fall asleep against the wall. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

On Sunday, the contestants who advanced can relax a little while the topic is not determined.

The program team is busy and nervous. Today is the first day of "Original New Generation". The big investment and publicity in the early stage, everything depends on today.

Ma Zhiru has been a little anxious these days. He has paid attention to several new music variety shows that have been launched recently. As a result, the response to both the Haibao platform and the Pitaya platform is not very good.

Driven by Western trends, more and more young musicians now like rap and electronic music, but the public music market has a very average acceptance of these two music styles. Many young musicians have been criticized. Although various platforms have been looking for voices that the new generation of the public likes, there are few who have really made a big splash in recent years.

Seeing that the first broadcast of the self-made music variety shows on two platforms larger than KuMeow failed, Ma Zhiru's confidence was a little lacking. He prayed in his heart early in the morning: "I hope it will succeed!"
