() at half past ten that night.

The Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the Ito Hotel.

In the corner of the banquet hall, eight contestants lined up and sat down peacefully behind the interview table. As the champion of this event, Ye Zi is of course arranged in the middle by the stars and the moon. In front of the eight contestants, there was a black head and video and audio recording equipment.

This is a post-competition interview arranged by the organizing committee, and there will be a celebration reception a little later. At present, there are 50 or 60 photographers, videography and text reporters who have attended the interview, and most of them have watched the just-concluded finals.

This kind of reporter scale compared to the scale that has been held for ten consecutive years and has won many popular titles? Of course, the singer's "Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Contest" is quite inferior, but it is not easy to invite fifty or sixty reporters to come to the post-competition interview of a new competition.

This kind of interview is a rare opportunity for the eight players, and even Chen Yichen, who has gradually become famous in Xiangjiang, does not want to miss it.

This interview is a free interview, and there is no host to control the situation on the spot, only a few staff members of the organizing committee are responsible for handing over microphones and other chores. After the eight contestants arrived, reporters were free to ask any of them questions of interest.

Player interviews are not open tonight. Journalists need to make an appointment in advance with the organizing committee, which will be arranged by the organizing committee in the next two days.

Players from Shencheng and Guangdong provinces will also leave Xiangjiang and return next Wednesday after participating in some follow-up activities arranged by the organizing committee in the next two days.

The reservation for the player's interview is still quite enthusiastic, and it seems that this tournament has become quite influential after a long schedule of half a year. But these appointments have nothing to do with Ye Zi, and Ye Zi, the champion, has suffered a collective cold reception from reporters.

According to the current statistics, only Sima Minghui, a reporter from Xiangjiang's "Cheng Pao", has submitted an exclusive interview with Ye Zi to the organizing committee. Other reporters didn't seem to be interested in the freshly baked champion. On the contrary, Chen Yichen, the organizing committee has received interviews from four newspapers and three periodicals in a row. Even Liu Feifei, the number of reporters who want to interview her has surpassed Ye Zi, reaching as many as four, and Mei Yanfang's public acceptance of apprentices is still very influential.

If you look at the number of appointments for more than half an hour. Ye Zi's championship can only tie for fourth place, still behind Liu Qi. A newspaper and a periodical have already made an appointment for Liu Qi's interview in the next two days.

As soon as the game ended, Ye Zi, the champion, immediately depreciated and became no longer popular.

Ye Zi could only smile bitterly secretly.

For the current situation, Ye Zi is still prepared.

Long before coming to Xiangjiang, Mr. Sun Yun carefully analyzed for him, and the different attitudes that the Xiangjiang media may have after the competition decides different champions, and it is not surprising that this situation is tonight.

Who told Ye Zi to rob someone else's championship! It is also a matter of course to be given a collective cold shoulder by journalists.

But having said that, it would be impossible to say that Ye Zi's heart did not fluctuate at all. The championship trophy is not hot yet. People don't recognize you anymore, so I'm afraid anyone will feel a little uncomfortable, right?

Sitting behind the interview table, Ye Zi's hands were naturally on the table, with a fake smile on his face, watching and listening to the reporters' live interviews like a passerby.

Even if he had been prepared, Ye Zi still had an urge to scold his mother in his heart.

Is it worth it for journalists who claim to be the elite of society to be the champion of a new competition?

As a journalist, Su zhì is faced with such an unexpected situation as the champion of the event. Where did they go?

Ye Zi was slandered in his heart.

It's no wonder Ye Zi.

Except at the beginning of the interview, Sima Minghui from "Cheng Pao" asked Ye Zi several questions in a row. After that, the attention of the reporters was all focused on the three Xiangjiang contestants, especially on Chen Yichen, as if Chen Yichen was the champion of the singer competition in the three places.

Even the field contestants who were unanimously denied by the judges, under the insinuation of questions from reporters, seemed to have become a typical example of "wronged and dirty". Several reporters have even voiced calls to "correct his name".

And the championship trophy placed in Ye Zi's hand, after the first photo and video, was quickly deliberately ignored and completely forgotten.

Just like Ye Zi, the real champion.

Another question to Chen Yichen.

Similar questions have been asked several times tonight, but this time the reporter who asked the question has taken a new angle.

“ethan。 Do you think the judging work of this competition has met the requirements of 'fairness, justice and openness' mentioned by the organizing committee? ”

A man in his mid-thirties, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses and a righteous face, asked in a loud voice. Before asking a question, he introduced himself as a reporter from Xiangjiang's "Pineapple Weekly", whose name was Zhong Mingcheng.

Chen Yichen is a contracted singer of Huaxing, and he will definitely not speak ill of the organizing committee.

"Of course." Chen Yichen's answer was very resolute: "I think the principle of 'fairness, justice and openness' has been fully achieved in the judging work of this event. ”

"Ethan, I was at the competition just now, and I think your singing is the best. But in the end you only finished third, what do you think about that? Zhong Mingcheng continued to ask.

Chen Yichen smiled: "Thank you for affirming me, I think this ranking is still very fair and reasonable." ”

"Oh? Do you really think so? Zhong Mingcheng blinked his eyes and continued to ask: "Do you really think that the two contestants in front of you can really surpass you in singing?" ”

"Tsk, 9.98 points, what kind of singing can achieve such a high score, ah? I was there, how could I not notice it at all? ”

As he spoke, Zhong Mingcheng still widened his eyes and looked at the reporters on the left and right, with a very incomprehensible expression on his face.

Chen Yichen ignored Zhong Mingcheng's provocation, and still smiled and said: "I really think that whether it is Liu Qi or Ye Zi, their singing is worth learning from me." Especially Ye Zi, "

Speaking of this, Chen Yichen glanced at Ye Zi, who was sitting on his left, reached out and put his arm around Ye Zi's shoulder, and said loudly: "I admit that I am indeed no match for Ye Zi now." Since everyone watched the game on the spot, they should know that the champion of this game is undoubtedly the winner, and she can only belong to Ye Zi. ”

"This is the consensus of all our contestants."

After saying the previous words, Chen Yichen tightened his left hand around Ye Zi's shoulder, and added the last sentence again.

"Eetan, thank you!"

Ye Zi also stretched out his hand, and the two hugged each other on the seat, and Ye Zi also slapped Chen Yichen's back twice.

This love, he remembered.

Chen Yichen's frank answer made Zhong Mingcheng's ulterior motives immediately lose its meaning.

He smiled wryly, and without waiting for other reporters to ask questions again, Zhong Mingcheng suddenly turned to Ye Zi.

"Ye Zi, congratulations on winning the championship of this three-place singer competition."

"Thank you." Ye Zi didn't like this Zhong Mingcheng, so he just replied lightly.

"Ye Zi, Ethan didn't fully answer my question just now, so I want to ask you, do you think the 9.98 score you got is reasonable?"

Ye Zi really wanted to spit on him in his heart, and such a question was directly deliberately difficult.

If Ye Zi answers "reasonable", then it is difficult to guarantee that this Zhong Mingcheng will lead the topic to Ye Zi's pride, and the words he says will definitely not be good.

If Ye Zi replied "unreasonable", it would be even more in the hands of this guy, and sensational headlines such as "inner ghost" and "shady" would soon appear on the page and even the cover of Tuesday's "Pineapple Weekly".

The starting point of such a question is a pit, and of course Ye Zi will not step into it. Looking at the surrounding reporters who looked at the excitement and only thought that the matter was not big enough, Ye Zi could only hold back the feelings in his heart and pushed this problem out in a decent manner.

"I think it's better for this question to be answered by the judges. I'm a contestant, and my job is to sing songs on stage. I can't judge the work of the judges, it's rude. ”

"What if I just want to hear your answer?" Zhong Mingcheng ignored Ye Zi's reasoning at all, and asked directly.

Still?

Ye Zi was angry in his heart and snorted coldly.

"Then I can refuse to answer your question." (To be continued......)
