Chapter 366: Forcefully Slapping Face
The first and second place on the rankings were familiar musicians. One of them was a young musician who had risen to fame in Japan in recent years. In everyone’s eyes, he was a strong contender for the top three spots in the semi-finals.
Who would have thought that this Xia Wanyuan, who had appeared out of nowhere from China, would actually become the biggest dark horse of the year and leap into the top three of the semi-finals? It had to be known that in previous years’ competitions, the champions of the competition were always from the top three of the semi-finals.
Hence, many people began to investigate who this Xia Wanyuan was.
In the end, after flipping through the list of newcomers in the music industry, they did not find such a person. It was as if she had jumped out of nowhere.
In the end, some foreigners who had seen “The Long Ballad” felt that the name was a little familiar and guessed that it was the Chinese actor, Xia Wanyuan.
This made many people question, how did such a person who had never appeared in the world music industry and whose main role was also an actress get third place in the semi-finals??
A musician from Country Han participated in the competition. Because he was ranked 11th in the semi-finals and only one step away from the finals, he directly questioned the officials of the music competition on social media websites.
His basis was that Xia Wanyuan did not have any qualifications or famous works and she used an ancient zither that was not accepted by the mainstream music world.
And this musician from Han Country, who had been removed from the ranking of 11, was still somewhat famous in the world.
Many netizens stood on this musician’s side and questioned that the World Music Competition was secretly crafted, and there was a conspiracy.
In the end, the matter fermented on overseas websites and spread to China.
In order to exaggerate, the domestic marketing accounts and news media directly used the title “Chinese actor Xia Wanyuan placed third in the World Music Competition’s semi-finals, and the netizens mocked and claimed conspiracy”.
It was not only the foreign netizens who thought so. In fact, when these media outlets were writing their manuscripts, they also agreed with the opinions of the foreign netizens. They felt that Xia Wanyuan should have spent money to buy the rankings. Otherwise, with China’s music and an instrument with extremely low approval like the ancient zither, it was impossible to obtain such a good ranking.
Instantly, all the major Chinese websites and media published this news.
[ How embarrassing… Xia Wanyuan has really embarrassed herself in front of the world this time. ]
[ I know this musician from Han Country. He even held a personal concert at the Olly Imperial Theater last year. He’s especially strong, but he was actually eliminated. Although I’m Chinese, I won’t stand on Xia Wanyuan’s side this time who used dishonorable means to steal someone else’s position. Why is she so at ease? ]
[ Is there any meaning in this? The officials haven’t said anything, but you guys put the hat on her quickly. How did you know that Xia Wanyuan spent money? She plays the ancient zither very well to begin with. ]
[ Forget it, stop bragging, okay? Now, because of Xia Wanyuan alone, the internet is mocking our China for having no one. We can only rely on money to enter the World Competition, understand? It’s really a shame to be in the same country as such a person. ]
Public opinion in the world surged. The competition officials finally received everyone’s doubts.
Soon, the official website of the competition posted an explanation on the platform outside the Internet.
“Thank you for everyone’s attention. We know that many people have objected to the rankings in the finals recently. In order to convince everyone that our competition is fair and transparent, we will publicize everyone’s video of the finals on the Internet next. Everyone can discuss whether there’s a problem with the name list of the finals based on the performance of the contestants.”
The organizers of the competition acted quickly. Not long after they posted the statement, they directly released the video of more than a hundred competitors on the official website.
Everyone’s main focus was on the videos of the top twenty contestants, especially Xia Wanyuan’s video. It had the highest downloads and was far more than ten times the second place.
After everyone watched Xia Wanyuan’s video,
Their first impression was*, F*ck, this is too beautiful!*
The second impression was, ‘F*ck, this is too good!’
There was a crazy discussion online.
