PNB Chapter 81: The Champion is Born!
Chapter 81: The Champion is Born!
At midnight, Li Mo finished her performance.
The cheers from the audience were deafening. Everyone was still reeling from Li Mo's performance, and it was obvious who the champion was.
Li Qi returned to the stage, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Mo, ready to accept the impending results.
"No matter who it is, one of them will definitely be the ultimate winner of The Voice of the Year. In this round, the final winner will be determined by the combined score of the percentage of votes cast by the live audience and the number of votes cast by the media."
Hua Shao stood between the two and announced the start of the vote.
The mentors also curiously focused their attention on the screen. In fact, after Li Mo's performance, the four mentors...
Everyone knows who will be the champion.
Li Mo captivated them the moment he opened his mouth.
As for Li Qi, you sang well, but it's a pity you came to the wrong show.
Li Mo is right here; the championship will never be yours.
But there is one exception: A-mei.
Then, the images of various media outlets quickly appeared on the large screen behind Li Mo, while Li Qi's image was slowly growing.
Upon seeing this, A-mei immediately became restless.
Standing on the swivel chair, he kept glancing towards the media section, his expression somewhat grim.
On the contrary, Harlin looked relaxed and couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at A-mei.
People who truly want to win don't have smiles on their faces, except for those who are certain to win!
Actually, the four mentors weren't entirely sure what the final result would be at first; they were mostly guessing.
After all, if all the mentors really knew all the results in advance, then there wouldn't be so many memorable moments of them looking sullen on variety shows.
Judging from today's performance, Harlem probably already knew the outcome even without the production team's help!
If they lose this round, then the production team will really stop acting altogether, and he'll really be furious!
The final score from the media jury is:
Li Mo received 91 votes, and Li Qi received 10 votes.
Sure enough, when the results came out, the gap was quite obvious.
The fans in the audience were very satisfied with the result; Li Mo deserved such a high number of votes.
Tian Xiwei, who had just finished the competition, was also very happy with the result. Perhaps she deserves some credit for those 91 votes.
But some people think differently!
They were leading by a large margin, which was even somewhat humiliating!
Out of 101 people, there were only a mere 10 votes!
No one could accept this!
A-mei plopped down in the swivel chair, her face expressionless, clearly dissatisfied with the result.
That's a ninefold difference!
This is absolutely humiliating! My sister has been in the music industry for many years, and this is the first time she's ever been treated like this!
Seeing this, Na Ying and Wang Feng were actually somewhat relieved that their student had been eliminated early.
If A-mei is this angry, then Li Qi on stage must be even more upset.
He had expected there would be a gap between him and Li Mo, but he hadn't imagined it would be this big!
Using this as a vase is such an unpleasant experience.
The smile on his face froze.
It seems it still won't work!
He was so embarrassed on stage that Li Mo went up and hugged him to comfort him.
Actually, there was no real grudge between the two; they were just acting in their own self-interest.
Everyone's goal is to win the championship, so winning or losing is perfectly normal.
Now that Li Mo has gotten what he wanted, those in power shouldn't be aggressive, which is why he took the initiative to show goodwill to Li Qi.
Li Qi sighed. Now that the result was finalized, there was nothing left to worry about.
He then smiled with relief and accepted Li Mo's hug.
Congratulations!
Given this large lead, Canxing's actions can only be described as unseemly, but they are actually understandable.
It's important to understand that music is not a sport; there's no specific metric to determine the winner!
After all, no matter how niche the music is, when someone truly loves it, then in that person's heart, that song is the best.
Everyone has different tastes in music, and you have no right to say that one song is sophisticated while another is outdated.
The charm of music lies in each person's appreciation, and it brings different feelings to each person.
Some songs may seem unremarkable now, but when you get older and have more life experience, they will evoke a completely different feeling.
However, there is no winner or loser in music, but there is in "The Voice of China"!
This kind of program has never been a pure music competition from the beginning. Profit is paramount, and relative fairness is the true principle of this kind of program!
So what exactly does it mean to prioritize profit?
The right approach is to generously give Li Mo what he wants, and then squeeze as much money out of him as possible!
As for the rest? Who cares!
All I want is to make money!
They won't stop until they've squeezed Li Mo dry.
That was their original idea; otherwise, they wouldn't have signed the agreement with Li Mo.
I even contacted him twice!
According to the agreement, he and Xuanxuan will form a limited-time duo for activities.
After all, Li Mo isn't one of our own, so we need to spread his popularity to others.
Xuanxuan from Na Ying's team is a very suitable candidate.
Working together as a team makes the work easier!
Xuanxuan's popularity will definitely surge, and the revenue that Canxing will gain from Xuanxuan will inevitably increase dramatically.
The tour that Li Mo participated in will surely bring a lot of revenue to Canxing, and Li Mo will also participate in the third season!
This is exactly what they want!
Everything that happens is in their favor!
Although most of the agreements between Li Mo and Canxing were for less than a year, Canxing actually didn't lose out!
Take Wu Mochou from the previous season as an example. She had over 500 million followers on Weibo back then, thanks to the strong management of Canxing.
In just one year, Wu Mochou has already been classified as a has-been singer.
Canxing has been ruthlessly exploiting her for a year, so all things considered, Canxing has certainly made a lot of money!
Moreover, Li Mo gained his freedom, and Canxing gained money; everyone has a bright future!
So, Hua Shao slowly opened the envelope containing the final suspense and the audience vote results that would determine the final outcome tonight.
"Public jury vote results: Li Mo 95, Li Qi 5!"
Whew~ Li Mo breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Mo cast a grateful glance at the entire audience, while Li Qi and A-mei could only lower their heads and look away.
However, Li Mo didn't hold it against them and kept all the profits from the show for herself.
Can't other people even vent their frustrations?
"Final voting results: Li Mo 186 points, Li Qi 15 points."
"Therefore, I hereby announce that Li Mo has been named the 'Voice of the Year' of 'The Voice of China'! Congratulations, Li Mo!"
In that instant, flames shot up from the edge of the stage, and golden ribbons shot into the sky with a bang before slowly landing overhead.
From being unknown three months ago to becoming the champion of "The Voice of China"...
Looking back, the reason why he is now the champion is not anything else, but Li Mo's own hard work and sweat!
And some minor factors: the three pieces of equipment and six songs I got...
