Chapter 201 Countdown to the Night of Final Battle
That night, the topic of "Surprise! Two top male idols fall in love because of hatred and become gay! Sweetly holding hands while shopping in the supermarket for xxx!" became a hot search, and Yixing Entertainment immediately released a clarification video.
After watching the clarification video, there was a heated discussion in the comment section, and public opinion focused its anger on the program team.
[Stalkers are so scary. What’s wrong with the production team? This happened during the recording. Don’t artists have bodyguards or staff to accompany them when they travel?]
[Marketing accounts nowadays are really good at making up stories. Su Yinian clearly went to Park Chan-hoon for help, but the marketing account actually spread rumors that they were gay! I've learned a lot.]
[Am I the only one who thinks Park Chan-hoon is funny? Haha, I feel so bad for him. He just threatened his mortal enemy (Su Yinian) and then he caught him buying pink underwear. So cute! Haha!]
[The CP topic can be created now, hehe, Park Chan-hoon & Su Yinian - a weird CP! ]
[The production team really needs to reflect on this. They targeted T-Fire at the beginning, and now they are doing nothing when the captain of T-Fire is in danger. Although it is a temporary group, the number of global fans is now comparable to that of Hell Flower. Can the production team please take this seriously?]
[T-Fire Fan Club: We firmly oppose the program team's discrimination against T-Fire! If the program team continues to be unrepentant, we will boycott the purchase of related peripherals and performance tickets sold by the program team! We will also protest at the entrance of the performance venue! ]
……
On the eve of the second round of the second episode of the third season of "Idol Glory", Yixing Entertainment angrily accused the program crew of dereliction of duty on the grounds of "being overly negligent in the personal safety of artists during the recording period".
Under tremendous public pressure, the organizer Sz1 Entertainment, which currently holds the dominant position, finally compromised. The core team of the program group was reshuffled, with Sz1 Entertainment and Yixing Entertainment splitting the staff in half, and promised the public that the ticket checking process would be fully open in the future.
Under this premise, the second round of competition was carried out in a system of alternating between the old and the new. T-Fire continued to control the votes to accumulate strength for the final night. As the defending champion, they won the second place by a bye and obtained the qualification to directly advance to the official team.
Universe seemed to be holding back a big move and was extremely low-key in the second round of the competition. We cannot rule out the possibility that he was deliberately trying to cool down the impact of public opinion brought about by the hot search.
In fact, Park Chan-hoon’s pink underwear incident not only embarrassed him (of course, he doesn’t think so at all), but also attracted a wave of domestic fans to Universe because of the contrast between the idol’s appearance and private preferences.
In short, the final result of the second competition was that the difference in votes between the first-ranked Universe and the second-ranked T-Fire was only 36 votes, and the total votes of the two teams reached more than 27 billion.
In the second round of the competition, Hell Flower performed steadily and brought the votes to 25 billion. They were in the upper circle for two consecutive times and also qualified for direct advancement.
According to the competition system, three groups are already in the [Safe Zone], and the third round of competition will no longer be held. One month later, Universe, T-Fire, and Hell flower will compete for the championship on the final night.
Of course, this does not mean that the eliminated groups will no longer have the opportunity to stand on the stage of the final night.
On the night of the final, in addition to the competition stages of the three qualifying groups, there will be four other collaboration stages, in which all members of the eliminated groups will be recalled to collaborate with the members of the qualifying groups.
It is worth mentioning that after discovering that the hot search event was not led by Sz1 Entertainment, Yixing Entertainment and Sz1 Entertainment conducted investigations on the matter separately, and finally locked the suspect on Nanfang SDK Entertainment behind Good Student.
What's strange is that SDK Entertainment is an entertainment company founded by Ji Mufeng outside the company, and Su Yinian is Ji Mufeng's teammate. No matter how you think about it, SDK Entertainment seems to have no reason to target Su Yinian.
Therefore, Ji Mufeng was extremely surprised to learn that SDK Entertainment was behind the scenes. Although his relationship with his grandfather was not as close as that between his brother Jin Hechen and his grandfather, they were still a family after all, and there was no conflict over the family property...
SDK Entertainment has now been taken over and managed by Ji Mufeng's brother. Ji Mufeng made a video call to ask Jin Hechen, who was confused by his questions. He gave a reply within half an hour and found out that the culprits were Kim Si Woo and Yoo Won Seok from the Good Student group.
"I will never tolerate moral issues. Good Student will suspend all activities for reorganization. During the three years before the artist contracts of Kim Si-woo and Yoo Won-seok expire, the company will put them on ice..."
After finding out that Jin Shiyu and Liu Yuanshuo's original target was Ji Mufeng, Jin Hechen's face darkened.
In the video call, he was dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, showing his elite temperament. The top-floor office in the background was extremely luxuriously decorated.
It would be too easy for those two to terminate the contract directly. Jin Hechen was born into a chaebol family, held a high position, and his methods were always ruthless.
They will be hidden in the dark for three years first, collecting evidence that can ruin their reputation as idols. If they behave honestly during these three years, they can naturally sign with other entertainment companies after the contract is terminated.
But given the scumbag natures of Kim Si-woo and Yoo Won-seok, can they really stop having affairs with other men? The answer is of course no.
After the contract is terminated, the evidence of their collapse will be released. This will not have any impact on the company. Businessmen are profit-driven. Jin Hechen's way of thinking is actually a bit cold in the eyes of others, as if he values the company much more than family affection.
But only Ji Mufeng knew in his heart that hiding was just Jin Hechen's gentle excuse.
Just like when he was young, he was bullied in school. After Jin Hechen knew about this, he accepted the advice of the school teacher on the surface, but privately ordered people to beat the bully into the hospital. Just like with Jin Hechen's style of doing things, Jin Hechen will never let Kim Shiwoo and Yoo Wonseok have an easy life during the period when they are in the dark.
"I've watched every one of your performances. They're all excellent. If there's a chance, let Mu Feng bring you to the Southland for fun. I'll be the host..."
The two video calls together lasted no more than eight minutes. Jin Hechen first expressed his apology to Su Yinian for three minutes, then thanked her for taking care of Ji Mufeng as the captain of the team, and invited all members of T-Fire to visit the South Country when they have time.
Given T-Fire's recent busy schedule, these words sound like empty words.
But what was unexpected was that the venue for this decisive battle night happened to be in the capital of the Southern Kingdom. As for the reason...
There are 30 days left until the final night.
In Dormitory 101 at the Glory Base, all members of T-Fire received the gathering information sent by the production team. However, the gathering locations of the six people were slightly different.
Xie Wenyu sat on the upper bunk, crossed his legs out of boredom, and read aloud the new messages on his phone.
"Thank you to contestant Wen Yu. Please gather at the 19L vocal classroom in Building 00 at 6:6 to participate in the discussion of the cooperative stage..."
