65. Chapter 65
"It's not that there is no you, but that Jin Xiangjiao's organizing committee has changed the rules!"
Zhao Xiaotao was originally holding a breath in her throat, unable to spit it out and unable to swallow it, this time when she heard Lan Xi's inquiry, it was like an extra outlet out of thin air, and the complaints kept coming like a river water:
"The original rule was that before the deadline, the final winner with the most votes in the voting of the Internet and print media was the final winner, but this time the organizing committee said that it would ensure the watchability of the awards ceremony, and broadcast the votes for the three awards of the best male and female singer and the best newcomer in real time on the screen of the party within two hours, isn't this nonsense!"
Zhao Xiaotao sighed: "So the previous votes are all invalid." ”
Originally, his own artist topped the list with nearly 2 million votes, and pulled down the second place by nearly 1 million.
The most infuriating thing is that although the organizing committee's approach has been sprayed with blood by many fans, many of them are in favor, and most of the remarks in favor of it are intentionally or unintentionally directed at Lanxi.
What" someone once in order to win the award, but he didn't expect to change the rules, and now eighty percent of them are crying at home. ”
And what is "more like an internet celebrity than a singer".
It's almost said directly that the reason why Lanxi became popular is because of his face.
"At that time, there will be a live performance at the awards ceremony, which is said to be used to canvass for votes, and if we want to go, we must hurry up and release a song."
This is where Lancey is weaker than the other contestants.
Others can pick up their own famous songs and take this opportunity to promote their new songs, but here in Lanxi, only one song "Xingqing" that has been sung at the concert can be used.
…… But with his popularity, this song has long been familiar. If you sing it again, it will inevitably not attract negative remarks.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaotao suddenly felt a little tired. He drooped his chin and said, "Otherwise, forget it?" ”
There is no Golden Banana Award, and there are awards such as Golden Strawberry, Golden Pineapple, Golden Pineapple, etc., you can't win any of them, right?
Lanxi was flipping through her Weibo at this time.
The number of retweets and comments has exceeded 100,000, and among the popular comments, all fans are trying their best to help him get votes up and down-
"This is likely to be the first award our Konishi won, please move your fingers and do me a favor."
"One vote and one kiss, take the screenshot and cash it out!"
"Konishi studies hard and doesn't worry about the votes. Come on. ”
Lancy put down her phone, her face was a little more confused - this felt really strange, obviously she didn't look forward to this award much in her heart, but at this moment, a flame burst out of the ground, burning all the way from the bottom of her heart to her brain, and those wandering, retreating, and hesitating were all shattered by this fire, and in the end only firmness remained.
"We participate."
Zhao Xiaotao raised her head in surprise, and then froze in place. He saw that the faces of his artists were glowing.

When Sun Xiaoruo came home from school on Friday night, her family had just cooked a meal, her parents were sitting at the dining table waiting for her, the TV was on, and she didn't know which channel it was.
"Audience friends, this is the scene of the Banana Guard's annual Golden Fragrance Jiao Music Festival, and there are still five minutes before the official start of the party. Here, the host would like to ask the audience in front of the TV, are you ready to vote for your favorite singer? ”
"Tonight, just a short time after the start of the party, your awards can determine whether the singer can win tonight's trophy, what are you waiting for, hurry up and pick up your mobile phone and enter the voting channel to vote for your favorite singer!"
Sun Xiaoruo changed her shoes, took out the rice from the kitchen, handed it to her parents who were staring intently at the TV, and asked casually, "What are you doing?" ”
The mother didn't turn her head, and explained in a few words: "The award ceremony is live." ”
“…… Oh. Sun Xiaoruo took a bite of food and felt that it was not interesting. With the retirement of her favorite singer and the academic tension after going to college, she has long lost interest in the new little fresh meat in the music world.
Many of them just heard a name, and they didn't even know what the other person looked like.
"I heard that there is that Liu Ruohua tonight, and Zhou Ruoli, who hasn't come out for a long time, I don't know when they will come out." The grandmother raised her head and asked, taking advantage of the gap between the advertisements, she hurriedly ate a few bites of food.
The corners of Sun Xiaoruo's mouth twitched, she knew Zhou Ruoli, an old singer more than ten years ago, and her mother's favorite when she was young. No wonder these two old men are reluctant to leave in front of the TV.
Although the grandfather looked calm on his face, he was clear about the rules of the competition: "Later, the best newcomer and male and female singers are at the end, so that fans have time to vote and hang people." ”
Sun Xiaoruo swallowed the food and asked casually: "Who is the best newcomer this year?" ”
Grandfather patiently explained: "Didn't I just say it, I didn't vote for it, and I will be able to see it when it will be live." ”
Sun Xiaoruo finally came to the spirit: live broadcast? This organizing committee is really good at playing!
As the first party to eat crabs, the Golden Banana Organizing Committee has indeed made up its mind to do a good job of this live voting broadcast, and specially opened up a large screen to broadcast the real-time voting results, not to mention, the live broadcast camera will sweep over every few minutes, so that the audience in front of the TV can also see clearly.
"The best newcomer, hey, who is this Luo Zhizhou in second place, the name sounds familiar" The grandmother asked with some doubts, from the beginning of the party voting, the number of votes for this singer has risen at a very fast speed, and it is not good to attract attention.
Sun Xiaoruo was playing a game in his hand without raising his head: "A new singer who has debuted in the United States for a few years and just returned to China this year." ”
The grandmother nodded, her eyes fell on Luo Zhizhou, the first name in the list, "Hey, isn't this Lanxi the boy in the variety show last time?" How did he become a singer? ”
"He seems to have made his debut as a singer, but now he has become an Internet celebrity."
As if everyone understands that the best part of the party is at the end, the first half of the party, the venue is lifeless, and occasionally when someone on the big screen has more votes than the first place, it will attract a small response, and the rest of the time is no different from an ordinary party.
"When will Zhou Ruoli come out?" The grandmother was already waiting impatiently.
"Don't worry, hey, this is that Luo Zhizhou?"
The lights on the stage have dimmed, but there are enough shadows to see many people standing silently in their positions, and then, a lifting platform slowly rises, the lights are back on, and a man with three-dimensional facial features jumps out-
The backup dancers moved with him, the men sang and danced, and interacted with the female backup dancers, which was extremely sexy.
At the end of the song, facing the cheers, the man breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Please vote for me, thank you." ”
The grandmother reacted and sighed: "This singer is not bad." Although she doesn't like the style of the song very much, this does not affect her evaluation of the singer herself.
Sun Xiaoruo also put down his mobile phone when Luo Zhizhou came to power, and nodded after listening carefully: "It's worthy of coming back from the United States." ”
At this time, the screen had switched to the real-time voting results, and sure enough, after Luo Zhizhou's wonderful table, his votes went up again, magically surpassing the first place Lanxi by 300 votes.
"Looks like the outcome is decided." Grandfather analysis.
The grandmother agreed, but retorted: "Don't worry, there are still twenty minutes before the end of voting." As she spoke, the lights dimmed again, and the stage lighting turned completely pink.
…… Songstress?
Sun Xiaoruo looked over casually, and then, a cheerful singing voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"I take a gentle sip of what you say about loving me
Still reminiscing about the tenderness you have given
I gently took a sip of this fragrant temptation
You have the look I like."
A boy in a pale pink suit appeared on the stage, smiling, singing earnestly, looking directly at the camera, as if silently telling you that this song is for you.
At this moment, I don't know what's going on, Sun Xiaoruo didn't even blink his eyes.
She seemed to return to the summer of seventeen in an instant, and the boy in the white shirt in jeans that had been sealed in her memory for a long time reappeared in front of her eyes, the wind blew through the leaves of the camphor tree, making a soft noise, her boy smiled at her, and the cute little tiger teeth were exposed.
Stretching out her hand, the boy took her hand like this.
Midsummer, cicadas, a strong sense of happiness overflowed like this, she couldn't help laughing, and in a blink of an eye, the other party was actually laughing.
"Xiaoruo, why are you crying?"
In her mother's worried eyes, Sun Xiaoruo wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "That's it, the song is so good." ”
Lowering her head and opening the address book, she suddenly realized that her dear young man in white had already been left behind by her in the summer of seventeen.
"Dad, Mom, lend me all your phones, I want to vote."

Lan Xi walked down from the stage, Zhao Xiaotao was more excited than him, and the Northeast dialect came out: "Xiaoxi, you don't know on stage, the response below is good, and some of the audience are crying." ”
Crying?
Lanxi was a little confused, he was singing a sweet little love song.
"Hey, it's not important, I just noticed, your votes are already the same as that Luo Zhizhou, and you will be able to surpass it soon!"
Helping Lan Xi put on a thick down jacket, Zhao Xiaotao muttered on the side: "If you want me to say, if you didn't let me go for a walk in public relations, why would I need to be so frightened now." The one surnamed Luo, the number of votes is fake at first glance. ”
Lancey couldn't help but laugh: "If I'm like that, what's the difference between that and the people you hate?" ”
"Whatever you say, it makes sense!" Zhao Xiaotao glanced at her artist helplessly, raised her head, and found that Xuan Mo was already waiting in the background.
Dog food again!
Sure enough, Lan Xi jumped over happily and was hugged by Xuan Mo.
"Is this song good?"
"Sing it to me?"
“…… Of course not! ”
Xuan Mo smiled faintly and carried the person on his shoulder: "Give you a chance to change your words." ”
Zhao Xiaotao covered her face - oh, she didn't have the face to look at it.

Twenty minutes later, the vote count came out, and Luo Zhizhou led with 3,000 votes and won the best newcomer of this year's Golden Banana Award.
There was an uproar in the venue.
