~.-~     "Hello everyone on the scene and in front of the TV. This is the live broadcast of the large-scale variety show "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala". I am the host Zhu Jun."

"I am Zhou Tao"

"I'm very happy to meet you here. After more than a month of fierce competition, there are a total of 100 players who have stood out from the 13,580 competitors in the country. From today on, they will enter a more intense knockout round."

"Yes, one hundred contestants will be grouped into two groups, and the final decision on who can stay on this stage is not only the expert jury on the spot, but also the media jury on the spot and the off-site audience vote. That is to say, every audience friend has the opportunity to select the contestants you like."

"Yes, please see the subtitles at the bottom of the screen for details. As long as you edit the initial letter of the text message "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" and send it to 106583679926, you can vote for the contestants you like, and you will also have the opportunity to win a point of exquisite gifts from CCTV."

"That's right, we will also randomly select ten people from the audience participating in the event as special guests of our Spring Festival Gala. At that time, you will have the opportunity to watch the wonderful Spring Festival Gala program on site."

"We would like to thank Rolling Stone China, Legend Entertainment, Wahaha Group, etc. for their strong sponsorship of the program. Then, the first group of the knockout match of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" officially begins. Today, a total of twenty contestants in ten groups will take the stage to show their talents. The winners among them will have the opportunity to participate in the final semi-finals and finals. Next, our competition officially begins!"

With the explanation of the two hosts Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao, the one-month-long large-scale entertainment talent show "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala", finally entered the most cruel knockout stage. One hundred contestants from ten sub-districts were randomly composed into fifty groups. A total of five cruel knockout matches were required to compete for the place to enter the semi-finals!

All competitions were broadcast live, and the audience text message interaction was added. These innovations were carried out at the suggestion of Liu Yufan. Now, the senior executives of CCTV are very fond of this "Boss Liu" who is not part of CCTV. CCTV has always been troubled by the problem of ratings decline, so many planners have not solved it, but have been solved by an outsider. While feeling embarrassed, the overall CCTV leadership's favor for Liu Yufan has also increased rapidly.

Although CCTV is the "No. 1" in TV stations. It has a very stable position, it also cares about the ratings. And the more a big channel it is, the more it cares about, because it is related to face issues.

Now, Liu Yufan’s idea is to increase CCTV’s ratings. This “big face” cannot be measured by money or other things.

Just today, in the live elimination match, CCTV once again set a new high in viewership. Backstage monitoring data showed that during the period before the show started, CCTV's viewership rate increased by 32% compared to usual! For a big channel, this is really a terrifying number. And this number is also~~-updated first release~~ Once again, the leaders of CCTV were so happy that they wanted to give Liu Yufan and Meng Xin a bonus.

It is 8:00 pm now, which is the prime time. Generally, at this time, most of the TVs in thousands of households are locked in popular TV series nowadays. However, today, nearly 80% of the TV stations have locked in the central one. People gather in front of the TV, waiting for the first knockout match of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala"!

The one-month audition brought too much joy to the audience, and at the same time, it seemed like a grand carnival for the singers. The saying "The masters are in the folk" has been well verified in this show. When I watch TV on weekdays, I always feel that there are only a few singers who have repeated over and over again. Now I know that there are so many people who sing well or are full of unique skills in the folk. While feasting the audience, the value of those singers who stood out from countless contestants has also increased rapidly. Not only does it occasionally that a singer was abandoned by a large entertainment company with high prices, but some outstanding singers have also started some commercial performances!

This concentrated star-making effect really made the old entertainment companies and the seniors in the entertainment industry amazed and sighed that it turned out that entertainment could still be played like this!

Of course, this is also a premier opportunity. You should know that at this time, none of the mainland TV stations have a large entertainment program like this, and CCTV is the well-deserved boss, so it is not surprising that it can cause such a huge reaction.

The show officially begins at about 8 o'clock in the evening.

The first one to appear was a male singer named Guo Zi. Guo Zi was dressed in a denim outfit and had a little bald head. Although she was not tall, she was very energetic and had the feeling of a leading singer of the Zero Oct Band.

The song he chose was not sure whether it was intentional imitation or liked, but it was also the classic song "Love Me" by Zero Point Band.

"You find a reason to balance me, you find an excuse to accept me, I know what you think now, but you can't see how I feel..." A slightly hoarse singing sounded, Guo Zi stood in the center of the stage, holding a microphone, closing his eyes slightly, and his expression was very devoted.

And this opening immediately revealed Guo Zi's extraordinaryness.

Guo Zi’s own strength cannot be underestimated if he can stand out from more than 10,000 people. His voice is very similar to the lead singer of Zero Point Band, but it is brighter and more penetrating than the original singer. It can be said that it is comparable to the original singer. This is a very classic song, and with Zero Point Band, it is really not easy for Guo Zi to sing this song to this level!

"Yes, this Guo Zi is also a powerful guy. What a pity, he is not my dish." Liu Yufan was sitting in the judges' seat at this moment, enjoying Guo Zi's singing, and turned his body and said to Na Ying in a low voice.

"Your taste is not ordinary. By the way, how have you been conditioned by those dishes?" Na Ying asked in a low voice with a smile.

"Haha, there happened to be one today. You will see it later?" Liu Yufan said to Na Ying with a smile, full of confidence in his voice.

"That opera singer." Na Ying said with a chuckling. Each judge had a list of actors and songs for the competition. Na Ying naturally saw Li Yugang's name at a glance, and of course, the song "The Drunken Concubine" behind his name.

"Adapted?" When Na Ying first saw the song, her expression was a bit strange, but "The Drunken Concubine" is an old opera joke. Even if it is modified, it is still an opera. Na Ying really couldn't understand why Liu Yufan thought that an opera joke would be competitive on this stage where songs are mainly mainstream.

But if you can't figure it out, you won't think about it. Over the past few days, she has witnessed too many miracles in Liu Yufan. Not to mention anything else, she took the time to record the song "Smile by" he wrote for himself. As a result, once it was put on the market, the reaction was immediately great. In a few days, it was on the popular music list in the Chinese music scene. Although it was expected, it still gave her a higher understanding of Liu Yufan's abilities.

Liu Yufan was able to sit here and become judges in the knockout round with big names such as Liu Huan and Na Ying. He was indeed won back with his super personal strength. Look at the big names here, there were only a total of ten judges, except for Liu Huan, Yan Weiwen, Yan Su and other big names, Liu Yufan, who was so fresh and unremarkable. Of course, Na Ying also knew that Liu Yufan was able to sit here, which was inseparable from CCTV's "gratitude" to him.

Going further, in fact, many judges present today should be "gratitude" to Liu Yufan. Na Ying knew best that if it weren't for him, the many people present today would not have such an opportunity to show their faces. Although these people are big names and don't care about this time or twice, this show is extraordinary. Now you have to ask the TV audience across the country, which program is the most popular now. They will definitely tell you without hesitation, "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala"! In such a program that has almost attracted national focus, showing your face once is difficult for them to refuse such a temptation.

When Na Ying was distracted and thinking about these things, Guo Zi, the first to appear on the stage, had already finished singing. He was very good at singing, which immediately caused a burst of fierce applause from the audience.

However, everyone who participates in the competition knows that those who are ranked first are often not lucky. Because if the score is involved, those who are ranked in the top three will suffer more or less losses. Because the judges have a psychological adaptation process, because they don’t know how high the level of the players behind them is, when rating the players ahead, the judges will leave some room and will not play too high. Therefore, even if the players with high levels are ranked first, they will be affected.

Sure enough, Guo Zi's final score was only 85.3 points. Although it was a result of the jury, media jury and public scores, it was still not ideal.

At this time, the fans in the audience who held the sign "Guo Zi, I will always support you" couldn't help but look worried on their faces.

Yes, fans. This word that should have appeared on big names, but now it appears on these newcomers who have just debuted, and these fans have actually chased the CCTV competition site, which is enough to see the "power" of this entertainment program.

Although he was a little unwilling to give up, Guo Zi still bowed politely to the audience, turned around and walked off the stage.

"Okay, thank you Guo Zi for the wonderful singing. The three energetic young men from the Yi people came to play, and the applause welcomed the Yi people to make it." Zhu Jun, who stood on one side of the stage, continued to host the program after watching contestant No. 1 walk off the stage. (To be continued.
