Chapter 74 Unfair

Xie Yuxun returned to the shooting scene with a gloomy face.

After the second round of elimination, the 55 girls on the scene will be regrouped for group confrontation.

It is divided into six groups, each group has a core C position.

In the competition, the winning team can directly advance to the next round, while the losing team, except for the core C position, will face the risk of direct elimination.

Therefore, choosing the strongest player to form a team will be the most important choice for the nine C players at the moment.

Xie Yuxun was the first to select players.

The second one is Liao Meiyun.

The third one is Yu Xiaoxi.

The six groups of C players will be ranked according to the likes and so on, until the No.6 player is selected.

But player C can only select one player at a time.

Almost everyone at the scene wanted to join Xie Yuxun's team, followed by No.3 Yu Xiaoxi's team.

As for Liao Meiyun, it was not the best choice for the players.

The players have been in contact with each other for more than a month, and they also know each other's strength.

Xie Yuxun and Yu Xiaoxi, the two players who have made their debut overseas, are the most solid. Whether it is basic skills or popularity, they are relatively stable and have the greatest chance of winning.

Although Liao Meiyun is ranked second, in addition to singing, as a female team player, her dancing skills are definitely at the bottom of all C players.

With such a C position, the development of this team is definitely in a sub-healthy state.

In addition to the six C players, there are also many A-class players remaining in the team.

Therefore, after Xie Yuxun selected a strong player from class A, when it was Liao Meiyun's turn to choose, almost all the players from class A avoided her eyes.

"Ju Nianzhi." Liao Meiyun said.

Almost all the contestants breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Ju Nianzhi walked out of the team helplessly, stood behind Liao Meiyun, and complained, "Why did you choose me!"

Liao Meiyun smiled and said, "Because you are the best at dancing!"

Ju Nianzhi sighed.

In fact, the team she most wants to join is the team of Xie Yuxun, the popular queen of the show, or Yu Xiaoxi's team. The strength of these two people can definitely crush the C position of all teams. As for Liao Meiyun, it is definitely not her first choice.

Leaving aside Liao Meiyun's strength, just talking about the relationship between her and Liao Meiyun, there are still some grievances in detail.

When she was first divided into classes, she was the one who challenged Liao Meiyun's place in Class A, but she failed in the end.

Since then, although Liao Meiyun has always been polite, Ju Nianzhi has always disliked Liao Meiyun, thinking that she is a superficial, a typical example of a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

Sure enough, in the second round of the competition, Ju Nianzhi entered Class A in one fell swoop, while Liao Meiyun fell into Class B.

But when the show was officially launched, what shocked Ju Nianzhi was that Liao Meiyun's popularity was rising like a rocket, and she almost got the most likes from the audience.

In another round of knockout rounds, not to mention returning to Class A, he jumped directly to No.2.

Oh my god, are the audiences nowadays so unique in their aesthetics?
Don't you just sing a few songs...

Ju Nianzhi suddenly asked: "Mei Yun, does your elder brother know how to write girl group songs?"

"Probably not..." Liao Meiyun said uncertainly.

Frustrated, Ju Nianzhi asked the next best thing: "Then do you still have the new song that your brother left you here?"

"It's gone..." Liao Meiyun said embarrassedly.

Ju Nian's face was ashen, it was over, there was no hope.

Soon, more than half of the players from their respective teams were assembled. When it was Liao Meiyun's turn to choose again, Xie Yuxun suddenly interrupted: "I want to wish Xiyu too!"

Zhu Xiyu, a class A player who was about to walk behind Liao Meiyun, was flattered when she heard the words: "Me?"

"Yes, it's you!" Xie Yuxun smiled, "Xiyu, come to me!"

Liao Meiyun said: "I chose first."

"But people don't seem to want to join your team."

Xie Yuxun turned her head and looked at Liao Meiyun: "Besides, there are regulations in the competition system. As long as there is a competitor, the right to choose will be handed over to the chosen one!"

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder, Chen Xiuyuan, who was standing aside and presided over the team, quickly said: "That's true, then Zhu Xiyu, now the choice is in your hands. Would you like to join Liao Meiyun's team or Xie Yuxun's team?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhu Xiyu's face.

She looked at Xie Yuxun from time to time, but the final choice was surprising: "I choose Liao Meiyun."

"What? Did I hear it right?"

"She actually chose Liao Meiyun? Oh my god, isn't this a joke about her own future?"

"Although Zhu Xiyu is usually very quiet, when I communicated with her, I didn't find her stupid. What's wrong today?"

"Yeah, Liao Meiyun's team lost another spot!"

The contestants at the scene were all happy, even Liao Meiyun couldn't believe it, she looked at Zhu Xiyu who was approaching, and said happily: "We will win!"

"I believe in you, and I believe in my vision!"

Zhu Xiyu smiled slightly, and then stood in the line behind Liao Meiyun in order.

Liao Meiyun was extremely moved, with a joyful expression on her face.

But Xie Yuxun was clearly unhappy. Seeing Liao Meiyun's happy appearance, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and suddenly shouted: "It's not fair!"

The shout resounded throughout the gymnasium, and everyone looked over, including the mentor group and the director group.

"What's wrong, Yu Xun?" Chen Xiuyuan asked.

"The director team is unfair!"

Xie Yuxun pointed to Liao Meiyun: "Why can you make a special MV for Liao Meiyun alone, but we don't have any?"

All the players on the scene were a little dazed.

They don't know much about the special MV, and they don't know what it means.

But Xie Yuxun knew that the data of hundreds of thousands of comments and tens of millions of hits mentioned by the agent made her very angry: "I would like to ask, what is the fairness that the program team has always claimed? Is it as long as the director team is willing? Can you disregard fairness and justice and do whatever you want according to your own preferences and interests?"

Fu Yuntao frowned, stood up from the director's chair, and gestured to the cameraman.

The photographers were about to turn off the cameras, when Xie Yuxun suddenly said, "Are you guilty? Did I hit the mark? Why did you turn off the cameras? Don't you always claim that this show is the most authentic, fair, and just?"

Fu Yuntao laughed angrily.

He also lost his temper, waved his hands to the photographers, and said bluntly: "Okay, the camera is not turned off, it is always on, now, Xie Yuxun, let me explain to you clearly, why we will make a separate MV for Liao Meiyun! "

"Do you think that everyone is like you, with a foundation of popularity, backed by the company behind them, and a lot of resources to promote and squander? Is your behavior really fair?"

"Liao Meiyun is just an artist of a small company. She doesn't even have an agent. After participating in the show, no one will promote her, no one will canvass for her, and no one will favor her!"

"But is her potential really low? I believe that the audience's eyes are discerning, so after the show is officially released, her number of likes will always be at the top!"

"Finally, let me explain the behind-the-scenes MV for Liao Meiyun. That MV is called "Remembrance". It is just a song that Liao Meiyun sang for graduate fans. The popularity of this song is also part of "Creation 101" It has added extremely high heat, and all players benefit from this aspect!"

"Here, I want to correct one point. I have never opened a special video topic for any contestant. Even if there is, it is a matter of the three major video networks and has nothing to do with me! I just put the MV of this song on the For the behind-the-scenes footage, if it wasn't for the length of the show, believe me, I would have put that MV directly into the official show!"

"I can express my attitude right now. If anyone among the contestants present can perfectly sing a song with the same quality as Liao Meiyun's song, I, Fu Yuntao, will immediately shoot a short video for her without saying a word!"

"So, is there?"

Everyone fell silent.

If they could sing a song like "If there is an afterlife", why would they participate in the girl group audition? They would be praised by the company and make their solo debut!
"Stop quibbling, it's all an excuse!"

Xie Yuxun snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know about your private transactions, Director Fu, you're praising Liao Meiyun so much, isn't it because of the film and television copyright of her brother's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

Fu Yuntao was taken aback, and asked back, "Who told you?"

"I just asked if it was right?" Xie Yuxun asked.

Fu Yuntao looked at Xie Yuxun carefully, and suddenly became furious, and threw the microphone in his hand to the ground: "Fuck it, call me the election management team!"

The scene was immediately silent, Xie Yuxun was also frightened by Fu Yuntao's sudden outburst, and his eyes were a little flustered.

Seeing this scene, including the mentor Chen Xiuyuan, they all remained silent.

Soon, the leader of the selection management team trotted to the scene: "Director Fu, what's the matter?"

"Who is the selection officer in charge of Xie Yuxun?" Fu Yuntao asked coldly.

The leader of the selection management team smiled apologetically, "It's Xiao Zhao, uh, what's the matter? What happened?"

Fu Yuntao said angrily: "Tell him to pack up and get out immediately!"

The leader of the selection management team looked confused: "Why? Director Fu, what can I say well..."

Fu Yuntao kicked the loudspeaker on the ground to pieces, and said angrily, "What a joke! The non-disclosure agreement was signed for nothing? If he doesn't want to be sued by me, now, immediately, immediately, get out!"

"Okay, okay, I'll let him go."

After the head of the election management team flew away, Fu Yuntao looked at Xie Yuxun coldly: "Miss Xie, you have to remember that rules are rules, if you want to play with the rules, then you must first be the person who makes the rules! "

Xie Yuxun bit her lips tightly and remained silent.

Fu Yuntao looked around at all the contestants, and said in a deep voice, ""Produce 101" is a truly fair, open, and impartial talent show for women's teams. Its competition system is completely transparent. All votes have data sources that can be checked. Every voter Players must register with their mobile phone numbers to use their voting rights. I don’t care what methods you use to solicit votes behind your back. Here, I only look at the final data! Whoever has the highest data will get the most shots!”

"As for my cooperation with brother Liao in film and television development, it has nothing to do with this program! Believe it or not, I don't need to explain it to you!"

After saying this, Fu Yuntao left the set.

Only a group of players were left looking at each other.

"Mr. Chen, shall we still shoot?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Chen Xiuyuan grinned: "What are you filming? The director isn't here, so he slipped away!"

Many people left the scene one after another. After the cameras were officially turned off, a group of contestants rushed to Xie Yuxun's side, chirping and asking, "Xiaoyu, is what you just said true?"

"Did the director really make a private video for Liao Meiyun?"

"It's no wonder Liao Meiyun is so popular recently, so there is a director who made a fuss!"

"That's right, this show is too unfair!"

"I regret coming here. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come to participate in the first place!"

"Let me just say, Liao Meiyun is just going through the back door!"

"Speaking of which, is his brother so good? He writes songs and scripts? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

All the players are boycotting Liao Meiyun.

Xie Yuxun looked at Liao Meiyun who was not far away, and said with a sneer, "I won't let this matter go!"

On the other side, it was different from the bustle of Xie Yuxun's side.

Beside Liao Meiyun, there were only five or six people including Zhu Xiyu. Ju Nianzhi, who formed a team before, had gone to nowhere.

"Some people just can't see others being better than themselves."

Zhu Xiyu shook her head and said, "Mei Yun, don't take this matter to heart, what should you do..."

Zhu Xiyu couldn't continue talking. Seeing Liao Meiyun's excited expression, she was a little puzzled: "You...are you laughing?"

"Ah? Yes, I'm laughing! Hee hee!"

Liao Meiyun smirked and said: "I didn't expect my brother to be so good, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be made into a TV series!"

"I haven't asked you yet, what happened to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"? Your brother wrote it?"

A girl beside her asked in surprise, "I've never heard of this novel! Why does it seem so popular!"

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was written by my brother before I participated in the competition. I only listened to one episode. I didn't expect Director Fu to make this novel."

Liao Meiyun said happily: "You guys don't know, I'm a gothic guy, and I haven't told me about this until now!"

"Mei Yun, doesn't your brother know how to write songs?"

The girl suddenly suggested: "You ask your brother to write a song for our team! Try to suppress those who look down on you during the performance!"

"Yes, yes, Meiyun, you are the C position, so naturally you don't need to worry about being eliminated, but we are different. If we lose the game, we may have to leave..."

"It's better to be a girl group song!"

Everyone rushed to give suggestions.

Liao Meiyun tugged at the hair on her temples, a little hesitant.

She didn't want to bother her brother too much, but the people standing in front of her were all her close friends on the show. In order not to let them be eliminated, Liao Meiyun finally nodded and said: "I don't know if it can be done, but I will try hard Try it!"

"Really? Great! Thank you Meiyun!"

"Brother Meiyun is mighty!"

"Yeah! With the bonus of our brother's work, I will definitely win this time!"
