Next was Zhang Xi.
After she went on stage, the guest actor did not follow her up.
She held the microphone and said, “Are you guys wondering where’s the guest I invited? I want everyone to guess who it is.”
“Oh, what characteristics does that person have?” the emcee asked.
“This person is especially good at acting.”
Everyone below the stage guessed many names, but they did not know who it was.
Zhang Xi smiled and said, “This person is especially good-looking too.” Everyone eliminated the candidates one by one.
But how could there be anyone in the entertainment industry who was not good-looking?
“Golden Crown Film Awards, three-time Best Actor!” Zhang Xi continued to hint.
“Ahhhhh!”
The audience finally got excited.
“Zhu xu!”
“Zhu xu!”
“Zhu xu!”
Someone in the comments also guessed it. [Oh my god, it’s actually Zhu Xu! I’m going to die!]
[Ahhhh, it’s Zhu Xu! Can I really see Zhu Xu on this stage?]
[Zhu Xu, my husband! Sob, I can see my husband now.]
[Zhu Xu is really f*cking handsome! Thank you, Zhang Xi, for inviting him.]
[Hubby Zhu Xu! You usually keep a low profile! I really have to thank Zhang Xi this time.]
Everyone’s excitement broke through the screen.
The cheers at the scene were also deafening.
Zhang Xi knew that with these people’s votes, it was guaranteed she would get a good ranking.
It was impossible for Xinyue and Tian Ke to invite better guests than Zhu Xu and Ding Ya.
Next was Zhang Xi and Zhu Xu’s performance. It caused endless screams and comments.
After the performance ended, Zhu Xu smiled and said, “Please pay more attention to Zhang Xi and vote for her so that her acting skills will be recognized.”
In an instant, Zhang Xi’s votes soared, and she was far ahead of everyone else.
Li Qizhi, on the other hand, ignored Tian Ke and Xinyue.
Then, Tian Ke went on stage.
She went out hand-in-hand with an experienced actress, Mrs. Huang.
Huang Mingli was a professional opera performer. Many young people did not know her, but some older audience members knew her status.
Not only was she a professional performer in opera, but she was also a professional director and a supporting actress in many famous opera movies. She was a classic supporting actress and an experienced one too.
Tian Ke’s guest act was arranged by the company, and she recognized Huang Mingli herself.
However, this arrangement was not very attractive. It was also very difficult to get more votes.
“Today, Mrs. Huang and I are going to perform the famous scene, Romeo and Juliet.Thank you for your support, and thank you, Mrs. Huang, for taking the time to help me. I’m very happy to be able to perform with you on this stage.” Tian Ke was very sincere.
“I’m also very happy to be able to come over and help Tian Ke. I’m glad that more young people can hear our traditional operas and understand traditional culture. Thank you, everyone.” Huang Mingli’s hair was already white.
Next was her and Huang Mingli’s performance.
Her flamboyant singing stunned the crowd.
Everyone originally thought that she was just performing casually, but they did not expect her to be a professional.
Many people did not know much about the operas and could not tell what was going on. They were not familiar with the plot.
However, good singing and performances surpassed all these. Even if one did not understand the performance, one could still see the beauty and amazement.
This was the charm of art itself.
Many people calmed down and listened in fascination.
After their performance, everyone was still in a daze.
When the voting began, Tian Ke’s votes began to increase rapidly.
Zhang Xi felt a little stifled. She had been guarding against Xinyue and knew that the person Tian Ke had invited was an old senior from the opera scene. She thought that the current TV audience would not be interested at all.
However, she was wrong. It was not that everyone was only interested in a certain category but that they would definitely be interested in good things. Otherwise, they would not be remotely interested.
Seeing that Tian Ke’s votes were getting closer to hers, Zhang Xi felt a little uncomfortable.
Although there was also the judges’ score in the finals, the judges did not participate in the evaluation. It was entirely on the fans to vote.
Zhang Xi instructed her manager to encourage her fans to continue voting. “I’m already making arrangements,” the manager said in a low voice.
“Hurry up.”
“It’ll take some time. After all, we made the rules ourselves.’ The manager had no choice but to look for the director and make arrangements.
However, the price might be very high. It would definitely cost a lot of money.
Xiao Qing sat far away and asked Qiao Weiyang in a low voice, “Do you think Zhang Xi will buy votes?”
Qiao Weiyang put away her cell phone. “She won’t be able to.”
“Do you have any inside story?”
“This time, every IP user can only vote five times. Those with repeat IPS and IDs won’t be counted. If the fans want to vote more, they can only look for different computers. This isn’t easy to do.”
“Wow, that’s smart. Who thought of this?”
“Zhang Xi herself. She thought that she had more fans than others and was worried that others would spam votes, so she specially discussed it with the production team and asked the director to confirm this matter. The production team specially got someone to make a procedure to filter out the invalid votes.”
Qiao Weiyang was also present at that time and agreed with Zhang Xi’s request. After confirming it, the production team had no choice but to follow up on the matter.
There were only two ways to vote now. First, a fixed number of fans would go around looking for different phones and computers to place their votes. Second, a large enough number of fans would spontaneously vote.
Zhang Xi thought that she had a huge advantage, but when it came to the real competition, those ordinary fans could not be controlled at all. They would only vote for the people who moved them.
Xiao Qing laughed wildly when she heard that. When she saw Zhang Xi turn around and glance at her, she covered her mouth, but her shoulders were still twitching. It was extremely funny.
Next, it was Xinyue’s turn.
“Xinyue, all the best!” Xiao Qing shouted at Xinyue.
The emcee asked, “So who did Xinyue invite this time?”
Zhang Xi and Li Qizhi pricked up their ears at the same time.
Now that Tian Ke’s score had already surpassed Li Qizhi’s and was approaching Zhang Xi’s, it would be a little tragic if Xinyue invited someone powerful.
Zhang Xi glanced at Li Qizhi.
Li Qizhi said, “The company’s attitude toward Xinyue and Tian Ke is similar. She doesn’t receive any added support. I reckon the person arranged for Xinyue will be of a similar caliber.’
“But the person arranged for her won’t be someone like Huang Mingli, right?” Zhang Xi muttered to herself.
“I don’t think so,” Li Qizhi said. “Miss Zhang, actually, your chances of winning are still very high now. Xinyue can’t compare to you. As long as Best Actor Zhu speaks up for you later, everything will be very stable.”
Zhang Xi did not respond, but that was indeed what she thought..
