Even Zheng Qian was a little stunned by this result.
But he soon recovered.
The more he has experienced, the more his horizons have broadened. Temporary gains and losses basically have little impact on him.
Besides, this is just a promotion match. Since you have advanced, the number of votes and your ranking will not have much impact on you.
He had lost to Zhang Qiusheng in a PK match before, which was much more thrilling than this time, so Zheng Qian was just shocked for a moment and then calmed down.
But the fans and audience at the scene did not agree.
"I admit that Song Zixun's rap is pretty good, but compared with Zheng Qian? Oh, you're so thirsty that you're so hungry? Are you sure there's no behind-the-scenes manipulation?"
"These public judges are so cool, I knew there must be something fishy about adding so many judges this time!"
"Zheng Qian's song "Once Upon a Time" is definitely a classic among classics. It didn't win the first place in the vote. Who dares to believe it?"
"Shadow! Wait until I get back online to curse these stupid show crews to death!"
"This suppression is a bit too obvious!"
"You can't say that. Zheng Qian is not an absolute god, so he can't be a few votes behind others? I think Song Zixun is good and has a Korean style!"
"Haha, I admire you, a Korean dog with your eyes open and telling lies. Tell me your ID. The road is like a long night. Do you dare to fight under the banyan tree tonight?"
"The last time Xiangnan Satellite TV operated behind the scenes, viewers across the country were angry. How dare they do it this time? It seems that the lesson learned last time was not profound enough!"
"I have a premonition that the outside world has already flooded the customer service phone number of Xiangnan Satellite TV!"
The guesses made by netizens at the scene were good.
When the "Chinese Idol" six-to-five competition ended, the first people to erupt were the fans of contestant Jiang Ruolin.
To get to this point, every player has basically been exposed by over 100 million viewers.
The contestants have so many fans, and Jiang Ruolin has attracted countless fans along the way. She is called the "Smoking Voice Queen" by fans and the media.
However, such a strong contestant did not receive a single vote during the public review and voting.
This strange scene shocked audiences across the country.
For a time, related discussion posts sprang up on the Internet, and all Jiang Ruolin's fans were scolding Hunan Satellite TV for its behind-the-scenes operation.
In addition, Zheng Qian's votes were actually lower than Song Zixun!
This is obviously unacceptable to modest fans.
However, Song Zixun's fans are not vegetarians. When Qian fans were complaining about the new competition system of the show, they all went to the forum of Zheng Qian's fan support association to ridicule him.
"Zheng Qian is not almighty. It's normal to lose and win in the competition. Can't you afford it? Are you quitting the competition?"
"If you can't afford to lose, don't play! The program team is very fair!"
"Zheng Qian's fans are so incompetent, is that all? It made me laugh to death!"
"I have to say, compared to my brother Zixun, Zheng Qian is far behind!"
This suddenly fried the pot, like adding fuel to the fire.
Zheng Qian's mentality did not collapse, but all Qian Qian fans did.
Suddenly, the long-lost "Qian Fan Calling Order" reappeared in the world.
On the Internet that day, countless modest fans got up and turned on their computers, calling frantically in major QQ groups and forums.
The next moment, the organized and disciplined army of humble fans began to attack Song Zixun’s fan forum.
From the end of the show to two o'clock in the morning the next day, all fan forums related to Song Zixun crashed, and users were unable to log in for a short period of time.
Early the next morning, major media and portal websites immediately reported on the status of the "Chinese Idol" competition.
"The champion has been decided? The biggest dark horse in history has appeared!"
"Song Zixun received the highest number of votes in the audience and was nicknamed 'Relative of the Emperor'!"
"Zheng Qian's new song "The Way You Were" has set the whole internet on fire!"
"Zheng Qian fell from the altar! The biggest champion of "Chinese Idol" turned out to be him!"
"Jiang Ruolin regretted being eliminated and gave a speech: she acknowledged the result and hoped to receive blessings from fans."
"The ratings of "Chinese Idol" dropped by 14%, and yesterday's highest rating was only 12.8%!"
"CCTV launched the national talent show "Avenue of Stars" to take over from "Chinese Idol", which has attracted much attention and will continue its ratings miracle!"
"This morning, Hong Kong media revealed that Zheng Qian's new album "The Long Road to Life" was released in Hong Kong within one week, and global sales exceeded 500,000 copies, which has become a booster for the Hong Kong music scene!"
"Song Zixun was interviewed by the media and said that he was not surprised by the result because he put in ten times the effort and sweat for this concert than ordinary people!"
"After the recording of the program, Zheng Qian wore a cap and a mask and was in a hurry. Did he fall out with Xiangnan Satellite TV?"
Despite the changes in the entertainment media world, on Saturday, all major media will focus on discussing the "Chinese Idol" broadcast the night before.
Every time the show is broadcast, the contestants become the focus of discussion.
Among them, Zheng Qian's new song "The Past You" was also hotly discussed by the public, and it almost immediately topped the new song list of Coolan Music Network.
Many fans are used to this, but modest fans are still filled with indignation.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Zheng Qian's new song was ranked in the top three of the new song charts of major music websites the next day. However, Song Zixun's rap song was also in the top ten, but it was far behind by seven or eight places.
Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.
This time, the doubts and anger of netizens also made Shonan Satellite TV quite clear-headed. It would not make the same delay as last time. It responded immediately and announced the results of the 99 public judges on the official website of "Chinese Idol".
Age, gender and occupation.
But this still cannot assess the mood of netizens.
The credibility of "Chinese Idol" has been seriously lowered, and some people on the Internet have begun to boycott the program.
This is not a good sign.
Perhaps even Li Dongtian did not expect that the addition of 64 public judges to the new program would arouse such huge public outrage.
So it was announced that the next episode of the program would begin. The program team would invite staff from the Xiangjiang Notary Office in Star City to serve as program notaries and conduct open and fair statistics on all votes.
Even the Xiangjiang Notary Office issued a relevant statement on the official website for this purpose, completing the supervision task of the event on behalf of the general audience.
In this way, the resistance of the audience weakened slightly.
However, Zheng Qian did not have high expectations for this.
As judicial officers, notaries will naturally count every vote carefully, so the votes will not be falsified.
But who can guarantee the objectivity of public review?
Public reviewers are all human and have their own subjectivity.
If fifty public judges are drawn from Song Zixun's fan base, there is no need to compete in the competition, and Song Zixun can be directly judged as the champion.
Therefore, the tricks in it can still be manipulated manually.
Many people have also thought of this, but more people think that Hunan Satellite TV should not be so shameless. After all, retaining contestants that the audience really likes will help the ratings.
In fact, "Chinese Idol" has always done this.
For example, the most popular Zheng Qian, even if the director team cannot control this player, they still want to send him to the finals.
However, the result was already determined, and Zheng Qian advanced with a higher ranking.
Therefore, Zheng Qian did not pay too much attention to the disturbances and discussions from the outside world.
He is still busy at work.
News came from Hong Kong that in just one week, "Walking on the Road of Life" had sold 500,000 copies worldwide. Such sales made Universal Music feel refreshed, so they had already reprinted it a second time.
It is said that this is the result of Zheng Qian's autograph signing events. Whether it is Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, etc., the news that Zheng Qian held a local autograph signing event was exposed by the media, which directly led to an increase in album sales.
However, because the base is too small, even if autograph sessions are held in these areas, the actual sales combined are not as high as those in Hong Kong alone.
In Hong Kong alone, sales exceeded 200,000 copies.
What makes Zheng Qian more exciting is that the sales volume in the mainland market is approaching 200,000 copies!
This was beyond everyone's expectation.
But it actually makes sense.
After all, there are 1.3 billion people in the country, and the market is so huge that it is only natural that some die-hard fans are willing to spend money to buy albums.
However, due to the copyright environment, Zheng Qian's album sales are really not worth mentioning compared to this population size.
But even so, the album sales of 190,000 copies are really comparable to those in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For a time, Universal Music devoted all its energy to promotion in mainland China.
News about Zheng Qian's new album has also begun to be broadcast on major TV media.
Universal Music also spent a lot of money this time, and the mainland signing event was directly scheduled to be held at the Shenzhen Stadium.
The entire venue has up to 6,000 seats. No tickets are required. You only need to buy a copy of Zheng Qian's new album and bring your personal ID card to enter.
It is worth mentioning that all albums at this autograph session must be purchased at designated locations. Each album is marked with a special symbol. Fans with special symbols can get a spot for on-site autograph signing.
This move directly stimulated all fans.
Some people even buy five cards to start with, just to get a chance to have close contact with Zheng Qian. I have to say that these are probably Zheng Qian’s true fans.
Nowadays, Zheng Qian has become famous all over the country with "Chinese Idol". In addition, he has released new songs again and again, including the first high-quality songs. It can be said that his current popularity is at a high level.
This autograph session will be more popular than previous autograph sessions in Hong Kong and other places.
On Sunday, countless fans came from all directions, and the entire stadium was filled with out-of-towners, just waiting for the venue to open.
Zhao Qi, the editor-in-chief of "Beijing Entertainment Weekly", is also one of Zheng Qian's fans.
This time, she flew all the way from the capital and went straight to the Shencheng Stadium as soon as she landed.
The scene in front of her made her inexplicably excited.
If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, ordinary people can't imagine how hot the scene is.
Outside the stadium, people were coming and going, people were queuing up to enter, and more people were walking around holding posters of Zheng Qian, promoting their idol and canvassing votes.
The championship game is approaching, and Qian fans across the country are promoting it everywhere, asking relatives and friends to take out their mobile phones to cast their precious votes for Zheng Qian that night.
You know, on the night of the finals, the leading party in ranking the contestants is no longer the public judges, but the nearly 400 million mobile phone users across the country.
As long as you have a mobile phone, regardless of whether it is a China Mobile, China Unicom or PHS user, you can send text messages and vote for your favorite contestant.
Zhao Qi was moved to tears by this scene, excited and happy.
She has accompanied Zheng Qian all the way until now. Although the two have almost never met, Zheng Qian has almost become her spiritual support during this period.
By reporting on Zheng Qian's relevant information, Zhao Qi also firmly sat in the editor-in-chief position, and almost all of her manuscripts were published in the magazine, which also allowed her income to rise steadily.
Zhao Qi naturally fully supports Zheng Qian.
"I'll buy twenty!"
In an officially designated video store next to the stadium, Zhao Qi spent 2,000 yuan and bought 20 albums directly. Because the purchase quantity was large enough, the store manager also gave a discount of 79 yuan per album.
And among these twenty albums, four actually have special "star" symbols.
This shows that Zhao Qi has obtained four signing quotas.
Such good luck!
Zhao Qi is very excited!
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Through mobile phone calls, Zhao Qi contacted his friends Bao Jing, Shen Tian, Ding Ning and others from the Qianfan Fans Support Association forum. After everyone gathered together, four places were given to them.
Bao Jing was so moved that she hugged Zhao Qi and screamed excitedly: "Brother Qi, thank you so much. I bought ten of them, but I didn't win any of them!"
Shen Tian smiled and gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Qi, you are indeed a good brother!"
Zhao Qi waved his hand to express his boldness, turned to look at Ding Ning, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and down, and was a little surprised: "You are Ding Ning, right? I often hear Shen Tian talking about you, and I heard that Shen Tian forced her to
Did they drag you into a trap?"
Ding Ning was a little panicked by Zhao Qi's eyes.
Shen Tian immediately stepped forward and said: "Brother Qi, Ding Ning is a good girl, don't scare her!"
Zhao Qi chuckled: "Am I scaring her? It's too late for me to take care of such a beautiful girl with such a good figure!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and hugged Ding Ning's shoulders: "Girl, we Qian fans are famous for our unity and righteousness, so we won't lose money by investing in it!"
Ding Ning's face turned red: "I also like to listen to Zheng Qian's songs."
Zhao Qi laughed and said: "That's right! Remember to go back and register an account on the Qian Fan Forum. In the future, if you encounter an injustice, mention Brother Qi's name and Brother Qi will protect you!"
"Brother Qi is mighty!" Bao Jing said happily.
Everyone chatted outside the venue for a while and then entered the stadium together.
Zhao Qi deliberately lagged a few steps behind and asked Shen Tian in a low voice: "Where did you find such a simple girl? I have never heard a few of Zheng Qian's songs, so I was dragged here by you so hard?"
"Shh!"
Shen Tian quickly stopped her and said, "Brother Qi, Ding Ning is in a bad mood recently. I'm going to take her out to get some air. Don't scare her!"
Zhao Qi asked curiously: "I said something feels wrong. What's going on?"
When Shen Tian saw Brother Qi asking for more information, she explained helplessly: "Ding Ning is my junior high school girl. Didn't our crew of "The Setting Sun Like Blood" wrap up filming a while ago? Ding Ning plays the role of the Sixth Aunt in the play. Originally, everything was normal.
, who knew that when the filming was about to wrap up, the director had a cramp in his head and suddenly wanted to force an additional scene and arrange a kiss scene between Ding Ning and the protagonist Wang Miao. Wang Miao is twenty years older than Ding Ning! I really vomited!"
Zhao Qi frowned. As a news media person, she could smell a hint of gossip: "Then what?"
"Of course Ding Ning won't agree. Even if Ding Ning agrees, I won't let her agree. Look at Ding Ning's figure and appearance. She is still a top student in our Chinese drama. There will be many opportunities to produce good works in the future, and she will have a bright future. This time My son gave me his first kiss on screen, which was so unworthy! And it was most likely motivated by sexual desire! It was almost finished, and we had to add such a scene at the last minute! Damn it, don’t mention it. , I feel sick when I think about it now, the entertainment industry is full of filth, it really opened my eyes!"
Zhao Qi thought thoughtfully: "What then?"
Shen Tian said angrily: "Then Ding Ning was kicked out by the crew, and the bad director threatened to ban Ding Ning."
"No more?" Zhao Qi asked.
Shen Tian was stunned, "Ah? No! After this incident, Ding Ning has been depressed all day long, full of shadows about the entertainment industry, so I brought her to Shencheng to attend my brother Qian's book signing. .”
Zhao Qi snapped his fingers: "Okay! Thank you for the information, I'm interested in this matter! You know what my career is! Now, in return, I won't accept these four signing places from you. Expenses paid!”
"Wow, no!"
Shen Tian was unhappy, but after thinking about it she still said: "Let's forget it, Ding Ning is still a student now..."
"Don't worry, good brother, I will use a pseudonym!"
Zhao Qi put his arm around Shen Tian's shoulders and was in a good mood, following the crowd into the gymnasium.
