As Ye Xian and Direba were the sixth contestants to appear, after their performance, all the performances in today's semi-finals would be over. The next stage would be the most tense moment of this episode, the audience voting and the announcement of the rankings!
Different from previous episodes, the last two groups of participating guests would be eliminated in this episode. The eliminated guests would undergo the revival round, which meant that all the eliminated guests would return to the stage again to fight for the last two spots to enter the finals of the Night of the Summit!
Throughout the entire performance, the participating guests had a rough idea in their hearts. They could roughly guess what kind of ranking they would get today. It might not be very accurate, but the deviation would not be too big, because there was still a huge difference in strength between them.
The first and second place would most likely be the same as usual. Ye Xian, Direba, and Hao Jian would take the first place. The third and fourth place would most likely be between Little Yueyue and Deputy Sect Leader Shen. The remaining fifth and sixth place would be between Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei!
Soon, the final rankings were out. As expected, Ye Xian and Dilireba won first place, while Hao Jian, Little Yueyue, and Deputy Sect Leader Shen won second, third, and fourth place. Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei were eliminated!
At this point, the semifinals of the third season of 'The Happy Comedian', had come to a successful end!
…………
The next day, Saturday, Ye Xian slowly woke up when it was almost noon.
Since Ye Xian and Direba had won the championship in the semi-finals, they could skip the elimination round and directly participate in the finals of the Night of the Peak. This meant that Ye Xian and the others could finally rest for a period of time. They no longer had to rush to finish one piece a week.
Because of this, Ye Xian and Dilreba had been out late last night and only returned home at two or three in the morning.
Ye Xian was in a good mood. To be honest, it had been a while since he transmigrated to this world. During this time, he had been busy with matters related to the Happy Comedian and had not really wandered around. Now that he was finally free, Ye Xian wanted to go somewhere to have a good time.
He took out his phone and browsed through the various scenic spots and tourist attractions. Suddenly, a call came in. It was from Guo Degang.
"Hello, Ms. Hunt, why did you call me today?”Ye Xian said with a smile.
Because of " The Happy Comedian," Ye Xian and Guo Degang would occasionally interact with each other. Their temperaments were also quite right. After a while, they gradually became friends regardless of age. When the two talked, they were more relaxed and did not have so many clichés.
"Haha, of course I called you for something! How was it? Did I disturb your sleep?”Guo Degang's hearty laughter came from the phone.
"No, what's the matter, Ms. Hunt?”Ye Xian said.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that the Chinese Writers 'Association took the lead and invited us Chinese Comedy Association, Chinese Drama Association, and some other large associations to jointly organize a Chinese Poetry Couplet Competition. The associations had to send people to host the competition.
But don't you know what's going on here? The finals of 'The Happy Comedian' are about to begin. God knows how many things are going on, and I can't get away from them. However, I can't avoid either side. After thinking about it, I thought of you. You produce a classic skit a week. I believe that your literary talent is naturally far beyond ordinary people. In addition, you also know how to compose poetry, so I wanted you to help me take over the position of judge over there.
You know that it's rare for me to ask for help. It's really hard to get rid of all these things. How about it? Can you help me?" Guo Degang said a lot over the phone, trying to persuade Ye Xian with emotion and reason. He was even hesitant and worried that Ye Xian would reject him. He almost cried!
For a moment, Ye Xian was speechless. He didn't know how to compose poems and couplets. It was all from his memories. If he really had to compose a poem himself, he wouldn't even want to look at it.
To be honest, Ye Xian wanted to refuse. It was not easy to have a break. He wanted to go somewhere with Dilraba to play and relax, but now that Guo Degang had spoken up and was about to cry, Ye Xian could not refuse, especially when Guo Degang had stood up for him many times during the fake advertisement storm.
In the end, Ye Xian shook his head helplessly and agreed to Xia Li's request. As the saying goes, a favor must be returned!
He could only temporarily put aside the matter of going on a trip.
Guo Degang saw that Ye Xian had agreed to his request and immediately laughed out loud. He did not have the slightest intention of crying.
Immediately, Ye Xian's forehead was filled with black lines. He felt like he had been tricked. However, he was too lazy to take back what he had said. Moreover, he could also experience the culture of this world.
Very soon, Guo Degang sent the details of the couplet competition to Ye Xian. Fortunately, Guo Degang didn't cheat him in the content. It was indeed just asking him to be a judge. It wasn't a big deal.
If he was asked to participate in the competition, then Ye Xian would never go no matter what. It was not that he thought highly of himself and felt that his status was different, but... he was different!
After all, he was a popular celebrity. How could he participate in such a competition? Moreover, this was the most peripheral competition in the entertainment industry. It didn't even belong to the entertainment industry.
To put it bluntly, the poetry and couplet competition was a traditional form of Chinese culture that had been passed down for thousands of years.
It was worth mentioning that although the traditional Chinese culture in this world was not as popular as some commercial entertainment programs, it was much better than Ye Xian's original world.
This world still attached great importance to traditional Chinese culture. Even though Ye Xian would often hold some poetry meetings, couplet competitions, and even national ones, as well as those organized by various places, the scale was very small and the organization was very simple. Sometimes, a broken classroom would have more than twenty people participating. Even if a city couplet competition was held, not many people would pay attention to it.
However, this world was different. There were quite a few people who paid attention to it, and the scale was also very large. It was held in the auditorium of Capital University, and the entire process was broadcasted live on the Internet. It could be considered an annual literary feast in Beijing. At least, people in the industry paid close attention to it.
