356 Chapter 356. First Place

“Lion!”

After the host announced the rankings, he did not say anything. It would be too weak to say anything about second place in the competition.

There was a round of applause, but everyone knew that the applause was not for the Lion Group but for the first place of the public performance.

Even though the host had not announced it, everyone knew the final result.

!!
‘Not just a song’ had defeated all the other teams and taken first place!

In the audience’s applause, the Mysterious Person X Team trainees showed ecstatic expressions. At the same time, the atmosphere in the Lion team seemed a little heavy.

Wen Xiu’s expression was hideous. He had never expected that ‘The Lion’ would lose to a song that no one was optimistic about!

Wen Xiu couldn’t help but resent his teammates. He thought that if he had been chosen as the center spot back then, the votes for Lion might have been higher.

What a bunch of stupid trash!

The host continued to announce the votes for each member of the ‘Lion’ group according to the usual procedure. Among them, Wen Xiu was in first place with 89645 votes. He was also the trainee with the highest number of votes so far.

Previously, Wen Xiu’s tactic of acting pitifully in front of the camera was effective. Initially, his popularity was not the highest among the trainees, but the number of people supporting him increased. Many people voted for him out of sympathy.

Next, the host announced first place in the public exhibition match. Although the audience already knew the result, the host still said in a hot-blooded and passionate tone, “Let’s congratulate the ‘not just a song’ team. They’re tonight’s first-place winners!”

Amid the cheers, the host looked at the unreleased personal data of the trainees, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.

After announcing the individual votes of the other trainees in the ‘Not just a song’ group, the host looked at Mysterious X and announced in an excited tone, Mysterious X, 144925 votes!

Ding Shan was stunned by the number of votes, and the other four instructors were also shocked.

How could Mysterious X’s votes be so high? Logically speaking, even if there was a difference in the votes between the first and second place, it shouldn’t be that big!

Looking at the calm expression on Mysterious X’s face, Ding Shan finally understood why he had such a high number of votes.

Mysterious X was too unique. In today’s era, where idol celebrities are produced fluidly, Mysterious X’s unique temperament could distinguish him from the other trainees at a glance.

Other than the fans, the trainee that the general audience had the most profound impression of was probably Mysterious X. During the voting, the other trainees might only have their fans voting for them, but the ones who voted for Mysterious X were the fans and the general audience.

This was similar to Ding Shan’s fans. Although she did not have as many fans as some celebrities, she had acted in the famous ‘Little City Girl’ since she was young. Almost the entire country’s audience knew her, and her popularity in the country was far from comparable to other celebrities.

However, the other judges could not understand why Mysterious X had several such votes. Chen Tong even suspected that the number of votes was fake. Wen Xiu had less than 100000 votes, so how could Mysterious X have 140000?

The festival team had probably guessed that many of the audience members would have the same doubts as Chen Tong, so the host continued, “As for the votes, the following segment group will upload the recording of the entire counting process on the official website. The segment group will uphold the principle of fairness and openness and accept the supervision of every audience.”

The Festival Group was willing to disclose the counting process. They were not afraid of the audience verifying the authenticity of the votes.

Chen Tong stopped talking, and the audience also stopped talking.

The first public performance ended successfully, and the show’s biggest dark horse suddenly became the top entertainment search.

“Mysterious X, the king who deserves his title!” This hot search was not bought by any entertainment company but was pushed to the top of the hot search list by netizens.

Overnight, photos of Mysterious X went viral all over the internet. Some said that Mysterious X was the peak of the entertainment industry’s beauty, which was hard to come by in a hundred years. Others noted that Mysterious X would become the top male idol in the country and even possibly go international.

The terrifying popularity caught the Festival Group off guard. Yin Hui was even worried that if Xiang Hong became too popular, it would attract the attention of the Xiang family, so he hurriedly arranged for people to take down the hot search related to Mysterious X.

At this moment, the person who was the focus of public discussion disappeared from the public’s sight.

At the quiet exit.

Xiang Hong blocked Ding Shan’s path, his unruly smile carrying a trace of gentleness, fascinating and dangerous.
