Chapter 133: Wake up, everyone
()'It's very lively.' β
A group of seven or eight people pushed the door in, and the leader was Sir Cai Qingde, the chairman of the jury of this competition.
Behind him, he was followed by the three supervisors of the supervision and review team, as well as the members of the organizing committee and representatives of the title sponsors and sponsors who were present to watch the semi-finals tonight.
Sun Yun walked in the middle of the team, and he was whispering something to Huang Zhan and Cheng Shi. On his face, there was no longer the gentle smile that had been hanging in the past, and Huang Zhan and Cheng Shi also tightened their faces.
Sir Tsai Ching-tak greeted everyone and immediately beckoned the judges to take their seats at the oval conference table, while the others sat down on the surrounding sofas, and the waiter brought tea back and closed the door to the conference room.
You're in a lot of interest. It seems that everyone is very happy with tonight's semi-finals. β
As soon as everyone sat down, Cai Qingde spoke.
His voice was tired and dry, and there was an indescribable sneer in his tone.
Obedient and listening, the hearts of these well-like judges suddenly froze.
Cai Qingde just sneered slightly, then lowered his head and opened the Wen JiΓ n folder he brought, and found a copy of the Wen JiΓ n, then he glanced at the judges and spoke again.
'Ladies and gentlemen, after the competition just now, Chairman Yu of the organizing committee temporarily convened a small meeting of representatives from all parties and made several decisions. β
Now let me announce it to you. β
It was time to see the real thing, and the judges immediately focused their energy.
'The first decision: the semi-final results of all the players will be recalculated, and the average score will be calculated after removing the highest score and the lowest score. β
'Huh? β
'What? β
'What the hell! β
'Boom', before Cai Qingde's words fell, a group of judges with an average age of forty or fifty years old immediately shouted like young people in their teens and twenties.
The ratings that have been completed were actually denied by the organizing committee. This kind of thing has never happened to them in their judges' careers.
Such a move obviously represents the organizing committee's dissatisfaction with the work of the judges, and the subtext is that it does not trust the judges. No matter which judge is calm and accepts such a result.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
They are all proud of the music scene in their respective cities. Such humiliation is absolutely unacceptable. Even Professor Xu Lang, a good old man, suddenly turned gloomy at the moment.
Several judges in Xiangjiang were a little calmer, but the expressions on their faces were also not very good-looking.
Jin Bowen was energetic again now, shouting and jumping up and down hard, like a representative of the judges.
I'll talk about it later. β
Cai Qingde waited for a while, letting everyone digest the decision, and then bent his fingers and knocked on the table, and scolded in a deep voice.
Now one by one I know that I am embarrassed, what I did during the game! β
Sir Tsai Qingde Tsai has the qualifications to scold everyone.
He is the chairman of the jury for this competition. His status in the Asian and even world music scene is unmatched by the judges present. Even if you look at your age, he is also the oldest person here.
That's what the so-called high morality says.
No one dared to refute his words.
But looking at everyone's expressions, it is obvious that they dare not speak out. Now, everyone is just giving Sir Cai a face, if there is no real explanation, this game does not need to continue. The judges will definitely go on strike.
By that time, the question. It's big.
Cai Qingde moistened his throat with saliva, lowered his voice and said slowly.
'Everyone, if you want to say shame, I, Cai Qingde, am the first person to lose face. I was at the meeting just now, and I really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into. β
Don't think I'm alarmist. β
I'll tell you a few numbers and you'll know why the organizing committee made such a decision. β
Cai Qingde opened the text folder again. took out a copy of the text, held it in his hand and shook it.
This is the scoring table for each judge. β
It stands to reason that the organizing committee has invited us, the judges, and we should trust us. But after reading this form, no one can trust us judges anymore. β
I'll read it. β
The judges' faces almost all changed.
What's in this form? It couldn't be clearer to all.
I only say the number jΓΉ in general, and I don't read it when it comes to a specific person. Cai Qingde said calmly.
This sentence. Let everyone's hanging heart finally let go.
It's okay, it's okay! Fortunately, it's just the overall number jΓΉ!
All the judges felt lucky, but there was a faint sense of fear.
Cai Qingde glanced at the judges present, sighed in his heart, and began to read.
First of all, let's talk about our Xiangjiang judges. β
Excluding my score, the other three judges gave an average score of 7.85 to the five contestants in Shencheng, 8.05 to the five contestants in Guangdong Province, and 9.15 to the five contestants in Xiangjiang. Speaking of the average score of Xiangjiang players, Cai Qingde deliberately paused.
This pause is meaningful, and all the judges understand the meaning of Cai Qingde's pause.
The margin is 1.20 points. Cai Qingde continued to read.
The three judges from Guangdong Province gave an average score of 6.95 to the Shencheng contestants, 7.95 to the Xiangjiang contestants, and 9.20 to the Guangdong contestants. β
Another meaningful pause.
The margin is 2.25 points. β
Finally, let's take a look at the Shencheng judges. β
The judges of Shencheng gave an average of 8.25 points to the Xiangjiang contestants, an average of 8.05 points to the Guangdong contestants, and an average of 9.05 points to the Shencheng contestants. β
The difference is 1.0 points. β
After reading the average score statistics of the judges in the three places, Cai Qingde did not stop, took out another table, and continued.
That's the average score. β
I'll give you another example of a player's score. The player's highest score was 9.8 and his lowest score was only 5.0, which was also the lowest score of the match. β
I won't say which judge gave this score. Everyone is a colleague in the industry, and they still want each other's face. β
"But everyone," Cai Qingde shook the two statistical tables in his hand and said in a deep voice, "After listening to these statistics, do you think these scores are normal?" Do you still have any problems with the decision of the organizing committee? β
'Wake up, everyone! β
Cai Qingde slammed on the table again.
The judges were collectively silent.
Slightly higher points are awarded to players from the region. This is normal. But the difference is so large that it has obviously lost the fairness of the game.
And that's just the average score given by the three judges to the five contestants from the other teams, and the conspicuous low scores have been averaged.
In this way, the score of the Shencheng judges, who have the smallest score difference, has also reached 1.0 points, and the Guangdong provincial judges with the largest score difference have reached 2.25 points.
This is already an extremely obvious suppression.
Looking at the example of the player cited by Cai Qingde, it is even more absurd. The point difference is so large that it is a frightening 4.8 points, and this is no longer a question of fairness or unfairness. This is definitely Chiluoluo's deliberate suppression. This situation in the semi-finals, no matter how you explain it, is something that makes all the judges lose face.
For the singing of the same contestant, the difference between the judges is so large, if you want to say that there is no problem here, the ghost will not believe it.
It's not that the judges can't do that, and it's not surprising that the scores are more exaggerated than that. But there are some things that can only be done in private. It must not be spread out on the countertop.
It's called 'seeing the light and dying'!
The collective silence of the judges is a prime example of this.
Cai Qingde did not continue to hold on to these numbers.
As he just said, everyone is a colleague in the music world. It's still necessary to save some face for each other. If he really wants to make trouble, he, the chairman of the jury, will be the most embarrassing.
Okay, I'll announce the results of the recount, and the following eight players will compete in the final finals. β
The first place was Chen Yichen, who scored 9.65 points in the end. followed by Liu Qi, 9.52 points; Ye Zi. 9.16 points; Liu Feifei, 9.07 points; An Shunjie, 9.07 points; The highest scores obtained by the two of them are sorted out in the order before and after. followed by Zeng Chun, 9.06 points; Wu Lili, 9.01 points; The last one is the field. 8.99 points. β
Guys, that's the final result of this semi-final. β
After the list was reported, Cai Qingde put down the text, pressed his brows and temples hard, leaned his body on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said lightly.
The Xiangjiang judges remained silent.
In this final list, there is no change in the selection and order of Xiangjiang players.
Zhu Fengbo and Xu Lang were overjoyed, and the number of Shencheng players participating in the final increased from two to three, which was definitely an unexpected gain.
Li Huaitong was slightly unhappy in his heart, but whether it was Ye Zi or Zeng Chun, he didn't take it to heart.
The judges of Guangdong Province all frowned.
Jin Bowen's face turned red, and he asked angrily, "Sir Cai, I think you should give us an explanation. β
'Why is Qi Liang's name missing from this final list?' I think he should be fifth. β
Cai Qingde opened his eyes and stared at Jin Bowen silently, for a long time, and then said expressionlessly: "Explanation? Are you sure you need me to give you an explanation, Mr. Kim? β
The judges in Xiangjiang immediately noticed a detail, Cai Qingde called Jin Bowen 'Mr. Jin', instead of the polite 'Mr. Jin' a few days ago.
They know best what such a change in detail portends.
'Cai Qingde's roar' is well known in the Xiangjiang music scene, if this Jin Bowen doesn't know each other again, then wait to bear Cai Qingde's anger.
Judging from Cai Qingde's tone and expression just now, he was already faintly on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued......)
