The Queen Of Everything
163. The Three Most Popular Contestants
The selection of the Top 20 contestants was held on June 23 and 24, and the live broadcast was held from 10am to 7pm.
That will happen 2 days after the release of the college entrance exam results.
The final round of the competition is the selection of the top 10 contestants, and will be held on June 28. Top 10 contestants will then enter in July for the final round of the competition in the Imperial Capital.
Among the contestants, some would take the Arts exam.
The contestants have different preferences and skills. With more segments in the competition, the contestants will have more opportunities to show their talent. Moreover, it was common for students to participate in competitions even before their Art exams.
After Su Cha entered the Top 50, he went for an individual interview with the production team.
Because the interview segment is in the early stages of development, so no unusual questions are asked. Key questions asked of contestants include what they think of the other contestants, and which contestants they think they like the most.
These interviews are an opportunity for contestants to get more airtime during the broadcast. Interview opportunities are given by the program team to promising contestants whom they find very fond.
The program team did not perform any interaction, and all the answers given were the contestants' real thoughts and opinions.
If the contestant does not answer well, then it will give them a loss. Interviews are an opportunity for contestants to show their perfection. It would be ridiculous for contestants to express their displeasure or criticize others during their interviews.
Even if they don't have contestants they really appreciate, they should still mention some role models.
Most of the contestants do not like each other. After all, they were competitors, how could they like each other?
Only a small percentage of contestants would actually praise the others.
When Su Cha was asked about a contestant he cared about so much, he replied without hesitation, “Jin Mou.”
The interviewer immediately asked, “What do you like about him?”
Su Cha: “He sings well.”
Interviewer: “What else?”
Su Cha: “Nothing else.”
“…”
Interviewer laughs awkwardly, “Is there another contestant you like?”
Su Cha replied nonchalantly, “Le Anqi, and no one else.”
Judging from his answer, the audience might consider Su Cha arrogant.
The production team knew that Su Cha and Le Anqi were friends, and they were often seen spending time together. Therefore, it was not strange for Su Cha to mention Le Anqi as the contestant he liked. But, for Su Cha to praise Jin Mou for her singing.…
That was unexpected.
It was an undeniable fact that Jin Mou sang well. There are rumors stating that Jin Mou is the daughter of a real estate tycoon who spent a lot of money to bribe the jury panel of the competition territory.
Jin Mou has amazing singing skills. Her vocal range was different from Su Cha, and she could voice high notes fantastically. It could be said that she was the only contestant with phenomenal abilities.
However, Jin Mou was even more reserved than Su Cha. Jin Mou did not return greetings from the other contestants, and most of the contestants did not choose Jin Mou as their preferred contestant. Most contestants refer to Mona as a contestant they like.
Therefore, Su Cha's answer could be considered by others as bootlicking.
But, Su Cha did not care about the opinions of others. After the interview, he went straight home.
After interviews with the Top 50 contestants were filmed, the production team updated the contestants' information on the competition's official website.
At this moment, the difference in the popularity of the contestants was apparent.
The voting system on the official website was also updated. The voting system was designed like a water irrigation system. If viewers like a particular contestant, then they can select the contestant by adding a water droplet to the seedlings under the contestant's name.
Therefore, the speed of contestant seed growth signifies their popularity. The more votes a contestant gets, the faster their seeds grow, and the higher their popularity.
It can be said that the voting system is innovative and unique. After the voting system was refreshed, the popular contestants immediately stood out.
To Su Cha's surprise, he was one of the three most popular contestants in his city.
Even more surprising was that Mona, Le Anqi, and Su Cha were the most popular contestants.
