"The five pickled Chinese singers are all our Chinese singers."

"They obviously did it on purpose."

"Can such an operation still be possible?"

"It feels like it's very difficult to beat them. They have the home field advantage, and their stage style is more popular."

"Isn't it too much? All five people choose Chinese singers?"

"The only one who has a chance of winning is Hu Qi. The other singers are too local and don't have any new works."

"These are a bunch of bad guys."

"If we lose everything, we'll lose our pants."

"They didn't break the rules, so it's not a big deal with their choice."

"Which Bangzi fan are you upstairs?"

"..."

The barrage keeps popping up.

Obviously, most Chinese netizens are angered by this wave of manipulations by the Kimchi Chinese singer.

However, there are still a small group of people who are defending the Kimchi Chinese singers headed by Park Seok-bum. In recent years, because of Shaoyang, the phenomenon of "harami, Kazakhstan, and Korea" has been alleviated, but there are still some people who "advocate for foreigners and favor foreigners."

The program continues.

After the singers in the upper zone selected their opponents, they entered the formal PK session.

Follow the rules.

The singer from the lower area will sing first.

The first person to take the stage was Jiang Yan, who was selected by Park Seok-bum.

Jiang Yan is indeed not well-known in China, but that is only now. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he was a top-notch singer as good as anyone, and he even performed at two Spring Festival Galas.

He is now over 50 years old and has been retired from the industry for nearly ten years, but he can go from the domestic online Shanghai competition all the way to now, which also speaks volumes about his strength.

The song he sang today is called "Wandering Flowers".

This song is his famous song.

The style is a bit like old songs such as "The Sea" and "Sailor". When the domestic audience listens to it, they can resonate with it and find the feeling they had when they were young.

But perhaps because the song was in Chinese, when Jiang Yan stood on the stage and sang, there was no movement in the audience.

Except for a few shouts from a very small number of international students or Chinese people working here, there was almost no sound.

Even when Jiang Yan finished singing on the stage and bowed to express his thanks, there were only scattered and sparse applause from the audience. The director just wanted to cut to the audience, but seeing the situation in the audience, he hurriedly cut back to the screen.

on stage.

at home.

Xue Jiajia, who was sitting on the sofa and leaning on Shaoyang's shoulder while watching the live broadcast, saw this scene and immediately complained: "Why are the people over there like this?"

"That's right." Shao Yang nodded and said, "Unless you are really famous and powerful, ordinary artists will face such discrimination when they get there."

"This is so unfair."

"There is no absolute fairness in any competition-type program. Although most people still sing songs in their own language at the Asian competition, when it comes to the World Championship, they will definitely switch to English songs."

"You also have to sing English songs."

"Well, you will suffer a loss if you sing Chinese songs on a program of this level. Actually, it's okay. It will be more satisfying to defeat magic with magic. Have you forgotten my performance at a foreign rock festival before?"

"Cut~"

After Jiang Yan left the field.

As soon as Park Seok-bum came on stage, the reaction of the audience was completely different. Park Seok-bum didn't say a word, and even before the accompaniment started playing, there were already screams from below.

Even viewers from other countries who are watching the live broadcast through tiktok are a little despised by this contrast.

"Sure enough, the feeling of Kimchi Country is still as disgusting as ever."

"The competition venue should not be chosen in Kimchi Country."

"Fortunately, they are not targeting singers from our island nation."

"..."

Park Seok-bum sang a pop music that was half Korean and half English, which matched the atmosphere of the scene and quickly made the scene agitated.

The number of votes will not be announced until the end.

After singing and leaving the stage, the second group of contestants came on the stage.

Zhou Qian chose an Indian singer. What surprised Shao Yang was that although Zhou Qian's opponent was obviously an Indian, the Kimchi country audience at the scene still did not support him at all.

Shao Yang shook his head and said: "They came here clearly and didn't even bother to pretend."

"Zhou Qian won't lose, right?"

"Probably not. I asked the people in the planning team. They will distribute voting rights to viewers in various countries based on smart algorithms. Their smart algorithms can detect people who have experienced speech discrimination, which means they are viewers with voting rights.

Most of them are relatively objective, but..."

Xue Jiajia asked: "But what?"

"But the stage atmosphere will indeed affect the voting audience's judgment. I'm worried that Hu Qi will be eliminated in this round."

"ah?"

"Li Xiuyan, I have listened to her songs. In terms of singing skills, she is not as good as Hu Qi, but now the situation is uncertain."

Players from the upper and lower areas come on stage in pairs.

When there were no Kimchi Chinese singers and Chinese singers on the stage, the audience behaved very normally.

But once there are Kimchi Chinese singers and Huaxi singers on the stage, the audience's reaction will immediately become a double standard scene.

finally.

Wait until this program is coming to an end.

The last group of contestants took the stage.

Li Xiuyan, who was lucky enough to enter the upper zone, and Hu Qi, who almost entered the upper zone, are also two players who many viewers believe are about the same strength gap.

The first person to take the stage was Hu Qi. The song she sang was called "He". It was a very sad love song. Together with "Later" written for her by Shaoyang before her, it was also called a two-part love story.

Not long after Hu Qi signed with Yiyang Management and debuted, this song became particularly popular.

It's a pity that the audience in Kimchi Country didn't understand the lyrics, nor did they want to understand them. Everyone was talking and laughing in the audience, which completely ruined the atmosphere of the song.

Although the director did not cut many off-stage scenes, there were a few scenes that could still make the Chinese audience feel the deep malice.

After Hu Qi finished singing, she just nodded slightly to the camera as a thank you and then left the stage directly.

When Lee Soo-yeon, who was wearing a white tank top, black hot pants and a pair of fishnet stockings, walked onto the stage, the audience's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Lee Soo-yeon! Lee Soo-yeon! Lee Soo-yeon!"

"..."

Li Xiuyan smiled and blew a kiss to the audience, which made the fans in the audience even more enthusiastic.

Shao Yang sighed, shook his head and said, "It's basically gone."

Xue Jiajia hurriedly said: "Send a message to comfort Hu Qi."

"Um."

Shao Yang took out his mobile phone, found Hu Qi on WeChat, and sent a text message directly: "After this is over, go back to China early."

Xue Jiajia glanced at the message and said speechlessly: "I asked you to comfort her, so you will send this to her?"

"Hu Qi is not a little girl. What I said is a comfort to her. Could it be that you want me to coax her like I coaxed Niuniu."

"Whatever you want."

…

Backstage.

When Hu Qi heard the WeChat notification, she took out her phone and took a look. After seeing the message from Shao Yang, she turned around and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, book a flight ticket back to China at the earliest."

"Now?"

"Um."

"But, the results haven't come out yet."

"Just order it."

"All right."

Du Mengmeng took out her mobile phone and started booking tickets.

After Li Xiuyan finished singing, the host returned to the stage to brag. Ten minutes later, the voting ended.

As the host shouted three, two, one, the vote results for this elimination round also appeared on the big screen.
Chapter completed!
