Wednesday, the players' rehearsal day.

"Morning, Sally." Adam happily greeted Yili and got straight to the point, "Have you decided on the song to be sung next week, our defending champion?" Adam joked to Yili with a smile .

"Adam!" Yili looked helplessly at her mentor, and raised her arms in protest—even if what Adam said was true, she had indeed won the championship for two weeks, but Adam's title still made her feel extremely embarrassed , "I want to sing "thousandyears" by Christina Perri." This is the song she has set for a long time.

"No problem, this is a song with a lot of room for interpretation." Adam took the sheet music handed over by Yili and saw that it was filled with notes, "Well, this time, you already have your own idea of ​​​​arranging? "As Adam said, he hummed softly according to the revised score, nodding from time to time, as if he was quite satisfied with the adaptation.

"I like your adaptation very much." Adam raised his head and said to Yili with a smile, "I noticed that you specially strengthened the rhythm of the sub-melody, which seems a bit like rhythm and blues?"

"That's right." Yili was very happy to share her adaptation ideas with Adam, "Actually, I think this song is very suitable for performing in a soulful way. Its main theme is very simple, beautiful, and has a lot of room for development. But in terms of sub-melody, as a soul music, it is a bit pale. Of course, as a pop music, it is perfect."

“Christina originally sang this song as the theme song for The Twilight Saga, so she chose to go full pop, which is perfect for a popular movie like Twilight,” Adam commented , "I am looking forward to your interpretation of this song. I think it will be another audio-visual feast. However, before that, I also have a few small suggestions. For example, on the main theme, you can do it in these places Some little shifts, I think that makes the song more alive and flexible."

"Of course." Yili happily accepted Adam's opinion.

"Then, let's start practicing."

With the cooperation of the pianist, Adam and Yili completed today's rehearsal seriously.

"I have loved you for a thousand years..."

"I love you for thousands and more..."

For the last time, when the last line of the lyrics fell, Adam pumped up his palms for Yili without hesitation.

"This version is amazing." Adam admired, "The audience will definitely love it."

"Thank you, Adam." Yili smiled happily.

"Well, let's call it a day," Adam said.

"Okay." Yili nodded, ready to leave cooperatively.

Compared with the streamlined teams of other mentors, Adam's team is still full of personnel.

It also means that Team Adam players have to share their mentor's coaching time with others, and everyone gets a correspondingly less attention than those lucky enough to get all of their mentor's time and attention.

Even if Adam does his best to guide every player in his team, he may still be inferior to those mentors who devote themselves to training the only player.But he doesn't need to do that, because his players know what they need and what they should do. This is determined by the talent and hard work of the players, and there is actually a limit to what the mentors can do.

"Sally, can you wait a minute?" Just as Yili was about to leave, the pianist suddenly stopped her.

"Well, what's the matter, David?" Ellie knows the pianist, and she spends her weekly rehearsal time with Adam and the pianist, especially last week, Adam also invited these players and the pianist The pianist went to a Michelin-starred restaurant together and enjoyed a big meal. She still remembers the way Adam and David bickered.

"Cough, can I trouble you to give me an autograph?" The pianist said with some embarrassment, "My daughter likes you so much, she twitters at home every week and reads your name, knowing that I am practicing for you , have been begging me to get your autograph. I know, it's not very legal, but you know..."

It was the request of his favorite little daughter, and it wasn't that out of the ordinary - the program group did have restrictions in this regard, and the staff were not allowed to disturb the contestants, let alone ask for autographs from the contestants, but that's the case, In fact, the program group is not strictly controlled. Even if someone did this, most of them would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye—so he put on a thick face and asked Sally, who was old enough to be his daughter, for an autograph... …

"Of course." Yili agreed without listening to David's words. Doing something for her fans, this feeling of wanting to repay her fans and pamper her fans, makes Yili almost willing to agree to all the fans' requests.

"Thank you!" David was overjoyed, and quickly took out the signature board he had prepared in advance.

"Besides signing, do you want to write anything?" Yili asked before writing.

"Well, could you write 'To the sweetest Anne, may you be happy forever'?" David asked cautiously, "isn't that too much? I mean, she'll love whatever you write, As long as you wrote it."

"Okay, I understand." Yili laughed, and under David's gaze, she wrote down those blessings from a father according to what the other party said, then xoxo, and signed her name .

"Thank you, thank you so much!" David took the signed copy that Yili handed back, looked at the clear and open handwriting on it, and thought of how his daughter would be pleasantly surprised when he returned home. For a moment, his face was full of smiles, which belonged to his father.

A faint feeling of admiration suddenly surged in Yi Li's heart.

That girl was very lucky to have a father who was willing to grant her every wish.

As for herself, she doesn't know when she will really see her parents.

But there will always be such a day, as long as we keep working so hard, we will definitely be able to return to them.

"What's the matter, Sally?" Adam also noticed the unusual look on Yili's face. The look of loss, melancholy and envy made him, a bystander, feel worried.

"It's nothing, I just miss my parents." Yili smiled nonchalantly, and didn't want to mention these too much.

"Oh, I almost forgot that you are still studying, but I always feel that you are very mature and don't have to worry about anything." But now it seems that she is just a little girl who misses her parents.Thinking of the little daughter who would rush over by calling "Daddy" and "Daddy" every time he came home, Adam's heart softened, and his eyes on Yili became more gentle.

"Maybe, next time you can invite them over? You know, you can definitely ask them to come over to see you, to cheer for you, to see your performance on the stage, and they will definitely be proud of you." In fact, The family members of the contestants often appear in the audience to cheer for them. Like Sally, the parents are too busy to never show up. But considering those two special professions, Adam can’t say much about it What, it's just that I feel sorry for the girl's strength and independence.

"No need, they have more important things to do." Yi Li shook her head, rejecting Adam's kindness, not to mention, the family she really wanted to see would never appear here—if they really Now that Yili has to worry about it, it’s fine now, mom and dad are in that very peaceful world, they don’t need to compete round after round, they don’t have to struggle desperately, and they live in the fear of being obliterated by failure at the next moment. , as long as she can go back, everything will be fine.

"Okay." Adam couldn't say anything more, after all, Sally was also an adult, "Then, see you next time in rehearsal."

"Well, see you next time." Yili waved to Adam and David.

"Thank you, Sally." David thanked Eli again.

"It's nothing." Yili smiled, quickly opened the door and walked out.

***

Friday, the last rehearsal day of the week, is also the deadline for voting.

The contestants finished today's rehearsal and walked back to their huts in twos and threes.

"I don't know how the voting results will be this time." Rachel said nervously and expectantly.

As the only player of the Blake team, she finished the rehearsal early, but her friends are all in the Adam team, and the Adam team has more players, and the practice time is longer. She waited until now to see herself good friends.

"No matter what, one of us will definitely be able to advance." Grace and Rachel walked side by side. Hearing this, she glanced to the side and said with a smile—even though Grace's voting performance was not particularly bright. Although she was not in the eye, she never fell into the danger zone. Generally speaking, she was relatively stable. This was one of the reasons why Grace had a good mentality.

"That's right." Yi Li responded naturally, looking down at the mobile phone that Bertha held up in front of her.

"..." Nadia, Grace, Rachel, and Bertha all looked at this completely unconscious person speechlessly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Yi Li had just finished reading the interesting post that Bertha let her read, when she looked up and saw the strange gazes of the four of them.

"It's nothing." Rachel shook her head with a light smile, Grace sighed slowly, and Nadia pursed her lips into a smile.

"We feel that if anyone among us is most likely to advance, it must be you." Bertha spoke on behalf of everyone.

"Ah." Yili was stunned, and then she realized that she was concentrating on reading the post just now, and didn't realize that Grace was talking about her, "But, if it's just this time, I think we should all be able to advance, right? We all did well, didn't we?"

This week, both Bertha and Nadia performed very well. Grace and Rachel are also above the standard, especially Rachel. As the only player of Blake's team, Blake's fans will protect her to death. As long as she doesn't play too abnormally, not to mention that she can make it to the finals, but it is absolutely no problem to enter the top six.

Therefore, Yili doesn't think that the friends need to worry. What needs to be worried is the people in other teams. From Yili's own feeling, the players of Team Farrell and Team Christina will be very dangerous this week.Because they have competition within the team, the fan votes belonging to the mentors will not be voted on them alone. My performance this week does not seem to be particularly outstanding. I can only say that my performance is good, but it is far from impressive. For example, Mi Ya, like Duncan...

Yili's natural answer made the girls very happy.

For them, with Sally's current popularity, they can accept even if she behaves a little more domineering, as long as she doesn't go too far, this is the treatment that only winners can enjoy.But Sally didn't. She still maintained her usual humility and calmness, and she unconsciously took care of other people's feelings in her words and actions. For them, this was undoubtedly a better experience.

"That's right, our votes are very close this time." Bertha said cooperatively.

"Really?" Rachel replied in surprise.

It may seem a bit ridiculous to outsiders, but to Rachel, she really dare not look at the results of those votes, such as the most obvious one, the weekly song download rankings of the contestants on itunes, which can also reflect the contestants to a certain extent Their popularity this week.In addition, the number of votes on Facebook can also be viewed after voting, which is the voting results that can be seen publicly.The only thing that has not been announced to the public is the voting on the program group's official website and app, only this is invisible.

Therefore, for most players, even if they don't know their ranking clearly, they still know their ranking this week.Of course, there are also accidents. After all, the data on the official website of the program group is invisible, and that is obviously an important part of voting. The top downloads on iTunes and the popularity of tens of thousands of people on Facebook may not be available on the official website. Get the most votes on the poll.This is the game, anything can happen.

"Of course." Bertha nodded earnestly, "In fact, this time, except for Kunna and Bradley, the voting results of the rest of us are similar to those in the past. On iTunes, Kunna's song downloads are a bit more than in the past, no It's particularly obvious, but on Facebook, Kunna's votes this time are almost only slightly worse than Sally's, almost on par with Nadia. In contrast, Bradley's downloads and votes increase are limited, but There has been some progress, too. Considering the pair went public with their affair last week, it's not surprising that viewers will be paying extra attention to them."

"Pfft." Bertha finished speaking solemnly, but Yili burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?" Bertha looked at Yili blankly, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, what you said is very good." Yili quickly suppressed a smile and shook her head, "This reminds me of the scene where the professor asked us to report on some extracurricular research in class, and we also reported our observation results in such detail. and analyze the causes of the results."

"..." Bertha blushed, and she didn't know why she sounded like a report. Maybe, she just wanted to show in front of Sally too much, just like she wanted to prove their group results in front of the teachers Similarly, this feeling of wanting to prove oneself in front of someone, wanting to tell everything to someone, should be the so-called heart-to-heart.

"Thank you, Bertha!" Rachel saw Bertha's embarrassment carefully, and hurried out to smooth things over, "I think what you said is right, but, for the same thing, why did you improve Kunna so much, but why did you improve so much for Bu? Radley is limited?"

"It's not surprising." Yili also found that she had embarrassed Bertha, so she added, "Usually, after male and female stars are made public, female stars will gain more popularity, because those who really care about this kind of scandal People can easily become CP fans of both parties, and CP fans usually take the position of female stars and eventually become fans of female stars.”

"That's true." Rachel suddenly realized that some groupies are like this. Maybe they didn't know the two parties in the rumored relationship at first, but after the two parties announced that they were officially together, they unexpectedly found that they got along very sweetly, and then After becoming a cp fan of the two, and then gradually leaning towards the woman psychologically, the man will be very angry if he is not thoughtful, and if he breaks up, he will empathize with the woman and blame the man in every possible way.

"I'm sorry, Bertha." Seeing that Rachel had understood, Yi Li turned her head and apologized seriously to her friend, "I shouldn't have laughed just now, it didn't feel good for you, did it? I'm sorry, Really, very sorry."

"It's okay." Bertha didn't expect her friend to apologize to her so seriously. It was obviously just a trivial matter, but her friend's solemn attitude still made her very happy, because it represented the importance her friend attached to her. "It's nothing, Really, in fact, when I said it, I felt weird, but now that I think about it, it turned out to be like giving a report."

Completely relieved, Bertha even made a little joke of herself.

"Hahaha!" The others burst into laughter.

While the contestants were seriously discussing the voting results, the audience was also doing their best to solicit votes for their favorite contestants.

In fact, the voting session is the stage for the audience to show their talents. Through their family and friends, they try their best to promote their favorite contestants. Some fans even spontaneously organize and initiate some lottery forwarding. Activities, use more practical incentives to solicit votes for your beloved players.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the voting deadline, and the voting windows on each platform were closed.

So far, both the audience and the contestants can only wait for the program group to announce the final result.

Except, of course, for the few with extra means.

As we all know, because the U.S. government keeps making moths, not only people who eat melons abroad are quite worried about this, but even the American people feel very worried, for fear that Uncle Sam will lose his mind one day and do something stupid again.

For this reason, people with lofty ideals who take world peace as their own responsibility, such as the folk hacker gods, consciously take on the important task of "supervising the stupid government". Come up with an anti-human and anti-social plan, so that I can continue my star chasing career with peace of mind.

——Yes, hacker gods also chase stars, is there anything wrong with that?

All in all, all in all, the hacker masters have different ways of chasing stars. They will use various legal or not-so-legal methods-the premise of being illegal is that someone will find out that they have done illegal behavior-confirm Does the other party have a black history that you can't accept? If so, pass it directly. If not, then you can happily chase stars!

Compared with ordinary fans expressing their excitement in person or not in person, they prefer to silently appreciate the dazzling figure on the screen in a dark room. After appreciating, If you are satisfied with one book, then take a quick look to see if there are any blackheads on the Internet. If not, everyone is happy. If there are, all kinds of reports will be made!

What, report?That's right, this is actually the favorite method of hackers. After all, it is still professional to check the water meter, so it is deterrent, isn't it?What's more, there are a few Americans who can be completely innocent, not to mention those big or small bad things done behind the scenes. As for the complicated tax filing issue in the United States, it is not something ordinary people can handle, even professional accountants , may not be able to guarantee that no mistakes have ever been made, and considering the terrorist execution capabilities of the IRS of the US Taxation Bureau, once it is verified that there is tax evasion, it will definitely be punished to make people doubt their lives!

In this world, only death and paying taxes are eternal.

This sentence is absolutely true in the United States.

In the eyes of hackers, irs is undoubtedly much cuter than the fbi and cia that make trouble for them from time to time.

At least, irs doesn't care what you do as long as you file your taxes properly.

But fbi and ica are different, even if you don't have time to do anything, they are already watching you. , but, seriously, what's the use of staring like that any longer?How many really powerful hackers will make the fbi and cia catch their tails?It's almost like playing around with you...

Okay, let's get to the point, let's get down to business.

As a hacker who has a hobby of chasing stars every day, it is only natural to pay attention to supervoice and find his favorite singer in it.Thinking of the frowns and smiles of the natal singer, Mr. Hacker was very excited, and decided to know the other party's ranking this week in advance. He promised that he would never do anything manually, even if the other party was not No.1 this week. !He is definitely a righteous hacker with morals and ideals! ! !

After telling himself this, Mr. Hacker got into the backend server of the program group's official website with peace of mind, skillfully opened the vote result packets of the contestants, and then——what did he see?Sally wasn't number one?This unscientific! ! !

Mr. Hacker was stunned for half a second, and he warned himself not to use his ability to do bad things. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The future world may depend on him to save. After all, their government is very unreliable, but on the other hand , he has written a small program reflexively, and traced the sources of the players' voting data.

what--

Mr. Hacker was surprised, no, not at all surprised to see that a large part of the voting data belonging to Kunna came from the same ip. Mr. Hacker squinted his eyes. There are restrictions, so when the audience wants to vote for their favorite players multiple times, they have to use other people's mobile phones or accounts to manually bypass these restrictions, but these data from the same IP are obviously not here. List!

The corners of Mr. Hacker's lips curled up, his fingertips jumped rapidly on the keyboard, and the cold light of the display screen was reflected in his golden-brown pupils. At this moment, he was full of fighting spirit, just like the last time Russian hackers came to provoke him. It was like being beaten back by him and his friends.Of course, this time, the people who used this kind of trick to cheat the vote were very clumsy, and to him, it was almost the kind that could be seen through at a glance.If he wants to vote for Sally in this way, he can do a hundred times better than this, and it will never be easily seen - he just doesn't want to insult Sally's efforts in this way, Correspondingly, he could not tolerate other people's efforts to humiliate Sally in this way.

In less than half a minute, Mr. Hacker successfully found the original IP address.

This cheater is a complete novice, maybe it is the first time to do such a thing, Mr. Hacker even suspects that the other party is not a professional, so even the proxy ip is useless, otherwise, once the ip jumps between countries, there is no He had prepared in advance and he couldn't catch any clues at all, but now, hehe, the other party is already a turtle in the urn.

Mr. Hacker packed up all the evidence, and emailed one to the program team, and one to mit - Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Why mit?Because the original IP address is mit, the method used by the other party is also quite simple and rude, but it just uses the interface of the university computer room to generate a large number of votes, without any technical content.

Mr. Hacker scoffed at his alumni from the same school, lamenting that the students of his alma mater are not as good as the previous generation, and then wrote a small program with satisfaction, calculated the real votes of all the contestants, and got a result that made him feel very happy =v=
