Chapter 166: The Finals Championship and Runner-up Battle - Are You Scared?
"what???"

"This isn't right!"

"What's going on? Su Shen only scored 9.56 this time. It's not normal."

"Shouldn't it be full marks? Is there a bug in the system's calculation? Or is there something fishy going on?"

"Yes, it's much lower than the previous rounds. Why is it getting lower and lower?"

"It might be those black guys who did this!"

Hearing the discussions from the audience, the four judges were also confused.

"Did anyone of you give above 9.5?" Chen Kaige asked in surprise.

The other three judges shook their heads and denied the claim.

Chen Kaige pondered, "It's the guests and the audience's ratings that lowered the overall score."

Liu Ciping interjected: "It is likely that this is because the live broadcast has a wide coverage."

"Those audiences in the past were all veterans who have been following our cultural and creative industry for many years, and most of them were die-hard fans of Su Xinghe."

"The new audiences come from all walks of life, probably including young and old, young women and children. If it's not to their taste, it's normal for the ratings to be low."

When this was said, Jiang Tao, a screenwriter, felt the same way. "It means that no matter how perfect a story is, it is impossible for everyone to like it."

“It’s a little lower than before, but I still took first place.”

After hearing the judges’ discussion, the audience probably understood it and did not pursue the matter any further.

The semi-final results are out.

Su Xinghe and Sun Changqing advanced to the finals together, while Han Sinian and Wu Gang were eliminated.

They both looked frustrated.

Especially Han Sinian.

In this semi-final, he originally wanted to imitate Su Xinghe's thinking and create a new world view system.

But when he got to the battlefield, he found that his imagination was not enough, so he could only imitate others, and finally learned something that was neither fish nor fowl.

This kind of impulsive idea is tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot.

Not only did his strengths not materialize, but his weaknesses were also magnified.

He is regretting it so much now!
"Since I joined the show, most of the attention has been on Su Xinghe, but I know very little about the other contestants."

Looking at the two people's lonely backs as they left the venue, Liu Yifei in the guest seat was somewhat moved.

“To be able to stand on the semi-final stage of such a national creative competition, those who are born with talent must be outstanding talents.”

“I don’t think it’s a pity that I haven’t read their works carefully.”

"It's okay, there's a video."

Han Tianhan said comfortingly.

"After all, it's a competition, not a variety show. Whoever is stronger will get more exposure. That's the competition mechanism."

"Ahan is right. It's amazing that they can get here." Zhou Xingchi added, "I hope they can adjust their mentality after going down and keep working hard."

The semi-finals officially ended.

Because of the pre-match promotion and the hot live broadcast of the event, the names of Su Xinghe and Atreus once again became popular on the Internet.

After the live broadcast clip was leaked, netizens immediately launched an overwhelming heated discussion.

Especially after reading the whole story of Atreus, many passers-by were inspired by his unyielding will and became fans of Su Xinghelu.

Even many celebrities on Weibo were reposting the video and giving Su Xinghe thumbs up.

All those haters who were pessimistic and sarcastic about Su Xinghe before the game were dug out and beaten up, and they were so scared that they all hid in the corners of the Internet, trembling in fear.

The headquarters of a top unicorn company.

"A mortal body is on par with a god!"

"I will fight to the death, until my spear falls to the ground and I can't get up anymore!!"

"Strength, unyielding!!"

The middle-aged chairman with a resolute face clenched his fists, his face flushed, and he growled loudly alone in his office.

Looking at the mortal god of war with his shining spear and round shield in the video, he seemed to see himself who had once struggled hard at the bottom of society.

Countless failures, countless setbacks, even though he was covered in bruises, he still refused to admit defeat and refused to bow to the world!
It is precisely because of this indomitable will that he has everything he has today.

But now, faced with the tough and complex ups and downs of the business world, he, already middle-aged, is clearly unable to keep up physically and mentally.

There are competitors of all sizes outside, eyeing the company covetously, and there are corrupt officials inside, who are engaged in bribery and corruption.

This made him feel powerless and he even often felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, but after reading Atreus's story, he was greatly encouraged. His aging heart was rejuvenated, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he found the energetic self of his youth.

Feeling his blood burning again, the chairman made a phone call.

Du-du——

"Hello, Xiao Li?"

"I have one thing to tell you: prepare the gift money and be sure to invite that young man over."

"Remember, you have to do it yourself, and treat him as you would treat me, and you must be courteous."

Beijing Film Academy.

After watching the entire process of the competition, the students of Beijing Film Academy excitedly held banners all over the school to cheer and celebrate.

"Won!"

“We are number one again!!”

"Brother Su is awesome!!"

“Too exciting! Spears gleaming, round shields sparkling, killing gods in the name of mortals!!”

“There are so many classic scenes in this story that it’s hard to count them all.”

"Yes, Senior Su Xinghe is so strong. From now on he is my idol!"

"I have one too!!"

If Su Xinghe's reputation was only known in the neighborhoods before, after this semi-final, he became famous throughout the country.

The story of Atreus has had a huge impact on viewers, no matter what class, age or identity they are from.

They were all greatly encouraged.

They even use Atreus's unyielding spirit as a role model to motivate themselves to keep moving forward without fear of any setbacks.

This is full coverage.

The subsequent finals made the popularity soar to a terrifying level.

The next afternoon.

It’s still the familiar red carpet, the familiar venue, the familiar judges and guests.

Behind the stage, Su Xinghe and Sun Changqing were waiting silently.

Sun Changqing bit his lip, as if he had made some important decision.

He looked at Su Xinghe with an expression that seemed to want to cry but couldn't. "Brother Su, can you be a little gentler in a while? Don't let me lose so badly."

Su Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm still a Buddhist, I'll take it slow this time."

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Sun Changqing looked grateful, and the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot.

It was 6:30 in the evening.

Sa Xiaoning came on stage.

"Okay, audience friends, have you been waiting and watching?"

"Yes!!!"

There was a chorus of shouts from below.

"Okay, then we would like to invite the two brightest new stars of this year's Youth Story Innovation Competition to compete in the final—"

"The battle for the championship and runner-up."

The words fell.

The applause and cheers were deafening.

After Su Xinghe and Sun Changqing came on stage, Sa Xiaoning interacted with them and then invited judges and guests to conduct pre-match analysis.

Half an hour passed quickly.

At seven o'clock sharp.

The final bell rang on time.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the big screen, where countless lights flashed.

Three seconds later.

The theme of the story is presented.
