However, these words did not have much effect when everyone began to collectively condemn Feng Yuanxuan.
True fans of Feng Yuanxuan’s popularity couldn’t change anything by trying to explain. Right now, everyone was already disliking Feng Yuanxuan and watching them only fueled their rebellious attitude.
Some of Xuan fans were okay, but some got really angry and said some unpleasant things, which led to another wave of criticism.
When the show got to the part where the mentors were chosen, the comments section finally changed, with fans of Sheng Ziyou and Wen Shanshan starting to call out to their idols.
Of course, almost all of them are Sheng Ziyou’s fans, and her current number of fans was still quite considerable.
Even casual observers mostly liked Sheng Ziyou.
Since Sheng Ziyou transmigrated here, she had trended on social media many times and had gained a lot of fans.
Adding to Wen Shanshan’s antics, the number of people supporting Sheng Ziyou in the comments section increased significantly.
However, some people said that Wen Shanshan was talented, so everyone would choose Teacher Wen, while Sheng Ziyou was not talented at all and was not worth the students’ choice.
Some people even said that Sheng Ziyou was never very popular among the students, and everyone preferred Teacher Wen.
However, soon, many of Sheng Ziyou’s fans came forward to give examples of how well Ziyou had a good relationship with the students, and how everyone looked forward to and liked Ziyou.
Wen Shanshan’s fans were still arguing, but very quickly, the results of the three group selections proved everything.
The live chat erupted in cheers, while Wen Shanshan’s fans quietly retreated without uttering a word.
Later, when the trainees from each group were preparing, and Zheng Jiaoqian made her appearance, the live chat erupted in cheers once again.
When Sheng Ziyou was abandoned by the company, Zheng Jiaoqian was very active and had a good reputation.
Her fans were extremely aggressive, which had attracted some negative attention to her. But nowadays, anyone who became popular would always have haters, and Sheng Ziyou was no exception.
When the three of them were dancing together, the live chat exploded with comments.
Sheng Ziyou’s fans cheered her on, while those who weren’t her fans said she was overestimating herself.
Zheng Jiaoqian’s fans, in particular, were quite unfriendly to Sheng Ziyou.
Of course, the fans of Yuzu weren’t exactly friendly to Zheng Jiaoqian’s fans either; the two sides had always been fiercely at odds.
The three-person competition began, and Wen Shanshan danced first. Her fans became active again, though their numbers were fewer, but still present.
When Zheng Jiaoqian danced, there was a burst of cheers, and her fans kept flooding the screen with messages.
But when Sheng Ziyou appeared and started copying the movements, the only word left in the comments was—
“Aaaaaah!!”
“Aa …
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh—”
….
Fans and bystanders were left speechless with shock.
After a while, when Sheng Ziyou finished dancing, the comments section finally started to buzz.
“Holy crap!! I’m a goldfish! But today I’m going to become a pomelo! From now on, please call me Golden Pomelo!”
“Mommy, I climbed the wall!”
“I’m switching allegiances again! I’ve always been a fan of Sheng Ziyou’s looks, but I held back because of her terrible skills. Now, why should I hold back?!”
“Does anyone still dare to call her a ‘vase’? Come out and let me see.”
“Sorry, I used to call Yubao Vase, but now I’m a fan and I’m eating a keyboard.”
….
“Teacher Sheng.” Guan Yike looked at Sheng Ziyou.
“Hmm?” Sheng Ziyou said, but her gaze did not move over.
How could she bear to look away from such praise?!
“I’m a pomelo too…” Guan Yike said with a smile.
Then, he was ganged up on again.
The comments continued, showing various updates, situations, and troubles encountered.
The production team tried their best to edit the footage to make it more engaging. For example, for Gu Yuzheng’s group, they edited in the part where they got stuck on the songwriting stage.
Guan Yike’s team was not satisfied with the edited version of Wen Shanshan’s music, so they continued to compose music anxiously.
When the editing reached Jiao Xiu’s group, Jiao Xiu and Feng Yuanxuan divided the work: one choreographed the dance, and the other wrote the song.
It looked very organized, which made it stand out from the other two groups.
But in the next scene, Gu Yuzheng’s group, with Sheng Ziyou’s guidance, quickly finished writing the song.
Guan Yike’s group also finished writing under Sheng Ziyou’s guidance.
Meanwhile, the five members of Jiao Xiu’s group were clearly going crazy. Only five of them were practicing. The dance was almost finished, but the song still hadn’t been decided.
This could actually be seen as vindicating Feng Yuanxuan for being a loner.
However, a group of “Xuan fans” jumped out in the comments section, speaking righteously and eloquently—
“See? Xuan Xuan went to write songs. What do you mean by being a loner? He’s writing songs all by himself, okay!”
“Yeah, I told you the whole group relies on Xuan Xuan, and you guys still argued.”
“Hehe, you guys really know how to let Xuan Xuan write songs all by himself.”
“Your masters are amazing. They let Xuan Xuan write songs all by himself and handle everything by himself.”
….
The audience members who had initially wavered immediately changed their minds and rushed up to hurl insults at him.
“Didn’t your master want to write songs himself?”
“Yes, he can’t write suitable songs, and you’re blaming others?”
“Yes! Jiao Xiu wanted to give the team leader a chance to shine, but he himself isn’t good enough, so what are you saying!”
“Yeah, you guys are so arrogant, you think you’re so great, so why didn’t you write it down? All the other groups have finished writing, you’re the one dragging everyone down.”
“Why didn’t Feng Yuanxuan ask Sheng Ziyou? Guan Yike didn’t finish writing either and immediately asked for help. Your Xuan Xuan is just being stubborn and making his team members worry.”
….
These people were actually rational, but there were some things they didn’t understand or hadn’t thought of yet.
Then, provoked by those “Xuan fans”, they immediately started spraying Feng Yuanxuan again.
As they criticized Feng Yuanxuan, they gradually accepted the idea in their heart— that Feng Yuanxuan was dragging down the team members.
At this point, they played interview videos, all of which were very short individual interviews.
Feng Yuanxuan also expressed his guilt, saying that he had written several versions, but none of them were suitable. He was not good at this and felt very upset.
At this point, the viewers in the live chat started to feel sorry for him.
Real fans started to emerge, and the audience’s hearts wavered once again.
This was followed by a personal interview with Jiao Xiu.
What are your thoughts on your group’s progress?
Jiao Xiu smiled and said, “I think it’s okay. The team leader is also under a lot of pressure, but we are all very tolerant.”
“Is there any other way?”
Jiao Xiu thought for a moment and said, “Once our group’s dance choreography is finished, Xuan Xuan and I will go and write it together.”
The live chat exploded with praise for Jiao Xiu.
The audience, who had just wavered, changed their minds again. Jiao Xiu can also write songs, so why does Feng Yuanxuan have to write them all by himself? Can’t you ask if you don’t understand?
Ask Jiao Xiu, ask Sheng Ziyou, you can ask many people.
Do you think you have such strong creative abilities that others aren’t worth asking?
While praising Jiao Xiu, the audience also started criticizing Feng Yuanxuan.
The next interview was with Hu Changming. He burst into tears when he heard the first question.
“My ranking has fallen behind, and I don’t even know what my ranking is now. But it’s definitely not good. I wanted to try my best in this semi-final, but…” He wiped his eyes, raised his head, and used his breathing to suppress his emotions and prevent himself from crying again.
“Have you thought of any solutions?”
Hu Changming shook his head, his eyes filled with despair: “There’s no way. Jiao Xiu asked Feng Yuanxuan if he needed help before, and he said no, but there’s been no progress. I’m really afraid we won’t be able to finish. My ranking is too dangerous. I cherish every opportunity, and our group has worked very hard this time.”
He was indeed good-looking, otherwise the image of a school heartthrob wouldn’t be established. At this moment, with red eyes, he looked very pitiful.
“Don’t cry.” A staff member on the other end of the camera handed him a tissue.
Hu Changming let out a long sigh of relief and forced a smile: “We’ve all done our best, there’s bound to be a way. As long as we work together and give it our all, that’s enough!”
The live chat was immediately filled with expressions of sympathy for him, offering comfort, hugs, and support. Some viewers even said they would vote for him.
At the same time, he began to verbally abuse Feng Yuanxuan again.
“He didn’t put in his best effort at all, nor did he work together. He just disappeared somewhere by himself and then said he couldn’t write it. He didn’t ask anyone or seek help from others.”
“I really feel sorry for Feng Yuanxuan’s teammates. How could they have encountered such people?”
“Yeah, isn’t he supposed to be very talented? Why can’t he write any songs?”
“My God, I’m truly impressed.”
….
Guan Yike and the others, unaware of the truth, remained silent, their faces blank.
Due to video length constraints, the production team did not release the music composed by Feng Yuanxuan, only stating that the music was unsuitable.
There were several possible explanations for why this was inappropriate…
Was it that the song and dance were inappropriate, or was the song itself unsuitable?
The production team probably didn’t expect that the words “inappropriate” could be misunderstood and distorted by viewers with ulterior motives.
Gu Yuzheng and Ji Ran knew the truth. They looked at each other, both with expressions of shock.
Feng Yuanxuan this time…
This was truly a major crisis.
