Now there’s Wu Anjun’s stage, and the peak viewership rating for the last episode already surpassed 6! This episode might even reach 6.2 or higher!
Lü Ming and Jinling TV certainly didn’t want to see such a great situation just disappear.
“If Wu Anjun is still first in this round, he will join the Guessing Panel starting from the sixth episode! This way, even if he doesn’t sing on stage, his presence on the Guessing Panel will still guarantee viewership ratings.”
“Moreover, in the seventh and eighth episodes, two new artists heavily promoted by Tianxing Entertainment will come as Fill in singers, and they will be singing Su Yu’s songs. This way, the popularity will be maintained until the semi-finals without any problems.”
Qian Jin naturally wouldn’t hide anything from his direct superior, revealing all the subsequent arrangements.
Lü Ming, of course, knew Wu Anjun’s true identity, so when he heard that Su Yu’s songs would be featured later, his worries significantly decreased.
At that time, Wu Anjun had indeed qualified for the finals and was sitting on the Guessing Panel, but Su Yu’s songs had arrived.
And for Wu Anjun to be on the Guessing Panel commenting on Su Yu’s songs—just thinking about it would generate a huge wave of popularity.
“Your work truly puts my mind at ease! Then, the subsequent viewership ratings will depend on you to maintain them! Whether we can completely surpass “The King of Singers” in the final, it all depends on you.”
Lü Ming patted Qian Jin’s shoulder, expressing his appreciation for him.
At this moment, the song of the second singer on stage had already finished. This was a male replacement singer who had come for this round.
Although this replacement singer’s vocal ability was also at a first-tier level, he was actually not as good as Xie Jie and Wang Shan, who were eliminated earlier; he seemed to be barely at a first-tier standard.
And for such strength to come to this current battlefield? That would undoubtedly make him cannon fodder.
In Wu Anjun’s lounge, Wu Anjun’s commentary also began: “This singer has barely first-tier strength, and his voice and timbre are actually quite good. If he were to sing some OSTs, he should still have quite a bit of development.”
Not long after Wu Anjun finished his commentary, Ye Mei directly guessed the person’s identity.
This was a first-tier singer from Hong Kong named Zeng Bo. At this time, he wasn’t too famous, but he had sung many OSTs for Hong Kong films and TV dramas.
This directly confirmed Wu Anjun’s previous commentary, and in an instant, netizens were going crazy.
“Holy moly! Is it that accurate? It can’t be a script, can it?!”
“The production team is insane for viewership ratings; how can they design such plots? Didn’t they say there was no script and it was all live broadcast, free improvisation?”
“Too fake! I already didn’t think highly of Wu Anjun for leeching off the popularity of our rap scene, and now the production team is still forcibly adding halos to him. It’s utterly speechless!”
“If I wasn’t waiting for Wu Anjun to mess up, I would have stopped watching this rotten variety show long ago!”
One after another, after Wu Anjun’s comments, they arrived as if on cue, as if pre-arranged.
Such dense bullet comments, with largely similar content, made the true audience and netizens feel that it was too fake.
How could it be that every time Wu Anjun said something, you would instantly criticize him? This targeting is too strong, isn’t it?
Moreover, Wu Anjun’s powerful commentary attribute was established in the first episode; it wasn’t a gimmick intentionally created to target anyone.
After the few sporadic bullet comments refuting these remarks were thoroughly trashed, there were no more comments from “normal” netizens in the bullet comment section.
After all, normal people wouldn’t bother arguing with a group of paid trolls and internet water armies, only to end up getting angry themselves.
And these people even make money from the popularity generated by you scolding them, which is even more infuriating.
However, Su Yu was clearly unaware of this at the moment. Even if he knew that every word he said would be criticized, he couldn’t directly argue with these people during the live broadcast, could he?
The third performer to take the stage tonight was Peacock Fairy. Her performance this round was equally stunning, with a powerful high note that truly almost blew the roof off the recording studio.
And the first-tier male singer Zeng Bo, who was sandwiched between Big White Goose and Peacock Fairy, now had a bitter expression.
Because he was not only guessed by the Guessing Panel led by Ye Mei, but he also couldn’t sing as well as them. This clearly meant he was on track to be eliminated in the first round.
“If she encounters songs more suited to her vocal range, Peacock Fairy’s destructive power can be further increased! A very exciting stage, a very enjoyable high note.”
Wu Anjun’s commentary arrived as scheduled, accompanied by an endless stream of slander and curses.
There were even bullet comments saying Wu Anjun was kowtowing, and those comments were simply unbearable.
However, at some point, no matter how much they posted bullet comments to set the rhythm, the number of bullet comments showed no sign of increasing.
Even the netizens who used to come out and argue with them had all disappeared!
However, when they heard Wu Anjun comment on the fourth singer and wanted to continue spamming, they were shocked to find that their bullet comments couldn’t be sent!
Subsequently, these people’s video backend uniformly received a system notification of being muted for 9999 hours.
It was clear that this group of people had been reported by viewers who couldn’t stand it and netizens who found them annoying.
And Qimiao Video’s decisiveness and processing speed also left these water army trolls feeling a sense of surprise.
They knew that platforms usually didn’t bother with such things before, and their bullet comments didn’t contain any overly offensive words either.
Having been in this line of work for so long, didn’t they know how to do it most safely?
But this time was clearly out of the ordinary!
Indeed, it was unusual. It wasn’t because Lü Ming, the Director, was watching the live video broadcast perfectly well, but kept being bothered by these annoying flies. At the same time, he was worried that this would affect the number of viewers on the video side, so he decisively called a Senior Executive at Qimiao Video.
Currently, “Who is the Singer” is also the most-watched variety show on Qimiao Video; calling it a trump card for attracting traffic would not be an exaggeration.
They were still thinking of building a good relationship with Jinling TV to purchase the exclusive online broadcasting rights for the second season, so how could they not value this variety show?
Moreover, the one who called was Lü Ming, the Director of Jinling TV! Therefore, the water army was directly swept away in one go.
“It’s quiet now. It seems reporting them actually works!”
“Hahahahaha, I also clicked it just now!”
“+1”
“...”
Watching the screen full of “+1”s, these water army members were truly speechless. They hadn’t expected that their tried-and-true method of setting the rhythm would actually fail miserably with Wu Anjun this time!
And they even got a 9999-hour mute! How were they going to take jobs on the Wonderful Video platform in the future?
“The wandering singer’s vocal ability just now was still good, not much worse than Zeng Bo, who performed second. It’s just that he might have been a bit nervous, after all, both Big White Goose and Peacock Fairy were a bit too fierce in this round.”
At this moment, Wu Anjun was clearly unaware that the smoke of battle on the video platform had just cleared, and he was still commenting on the replacement singer who had just taken the stage.
This made countless viewers and netizens burst into goose-like laughter.
Well, Wu Anjun hadn’t even made a move yet, and these trolls had already fallen. It was truly too comical.
