Chapter 30 But Chu Yuanqing would never betray Jiang Huai.

Yin He groaned, "Xiao Zhou and Pang Zheyan had a quarrel."

Jiang Huai was puzzled: "Then what? So you won't sleep?"

The two people worked the whole afternoon at the same time. Jiang Huai was so tired that he just wanted to take a shower and go to bed. This little thing seemed insignificant compared to rest.

Yin He: "… Mainly because I don't know where Pang Zheyan has gone."

"There are cameras everywhere in this base." The two men obviously had something else to say. Jiang Huai sighed and sat down. "Don't worry, the person won't be lost. Tell me what happened."

Eleven hours ago, in the practice room of the "Ephemera" group.

"Who wants to take the center position?" asked the team leader Rong Qian. "If more than one person wants to take it, each of them will be given ten minutes to write a rap song, and then the rest of the people will vote. Is that ok?"

Two pairs of hands were raised at the same time, and they belonged to Zhou Chengwen and Pang Zheyan from the same company.

The memory of the last time the group voted together for the "Secrets in the Woods" was still fresh in his mind. Rong Qian glanced at Pang Zheyan almost imperceptibly: "Then you guys write first. We will vote later."

Zhou Chengwen turned his pen, lowered his head and thought about writing lyrics, and scribbled on the paper with a gray pencil. He was a player who wrote whatever he thought of, and the draft he wrote looked very messy and had no rules.

Pang Zheyan looked at Zhou Chengwen anxiously every two lines, and only felt relieved when he found that the other party seemed to be scribbling. However, he would only feel relieved for two minutes before he had to look again.

Rong Qian saw everything that the two of them did and felt a bit overwhelmed. He had a hunch that the second public performance would not go smoothly this time either.

Ten minutes later, Rong Qian announced that the time was up and the two began to PK.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chengwen, who had no idea what he was doing just now, did better - no wonder he suddenly tried the rap group, he did have some level.

The PK results showed that Zhou Chengwen received two votes and Pang Zheyan received one vote, and Zhou Chengwen was elected as the C position in the group.

During the rehearsal, Rong Qian was always worried, afraid that there would be a conflict or quarrel between the two of them. Fortunately, nothing happened throughout the afternoon and everyone had a pleasant rehearsal.

"When he came back, he asked me in the blind spot of the camera, 'You don't want to debut, why do you have to compete with me for this part?' I got angry immediately after hearing that. Even if I don't want to debut, there is no reason for me to give up the part, and when did I say I don't want to debut?" Zhou Chengwen was originally quite calm, but his voice got louder and louder, "Then I said something a bit harsh."

Jiang Huai: "So what did you say?"

Zhou Chengwen: "I said, I never found him to be such a selfish person."

Jiang Huai: "...and then?"

"Then Pangge started crying." Zhou Chengwen calmed down, "We parted on bad terms, and he still doesn't know where he is."

Jiang Huai: "...And then you'll wait for me to come back and mediate?"

Zhou Chengwen and Yin He nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Jiang Huai was speechless and choked: "First of all, although Zhou Chengwen usually calls me Brother Jiang, you know that I am the youngest among the four of us, right?"

[You were 27 years old before you died.] The system said suddenly.

Jiang Huai completely ignored the voice in his head: "And I'm not from the village neighborhood committee."

He sighed: "If he figures it out, he'll come back to apologize to you. If he doesn't figure it out, there's nothing I can do about it. Just keep quiet in the future."

Pang Zheyan's mentality... he is prone to collapse in the second half of the talent show. In his previous life, when he participated in "Idol 101" and was approaching the finals, everyone was also nervous and half crazy, but Pang Zheyan went crazy too early.

If you can't adjust it well now, it will be even worse later. It is really helpful to figure it out as soon as possible.

Pang Zheyan simply did not return to the dormitory that day, and Jiang Huai no longer cared about the follow-up of the incident. However, he later moved back in, and after a few days of awkwardness with Zhou Chengwen, they recovered and were able to talk to each other normally. It seemed that he had apologized.

The main reason why he didn't care about the follow-up was that the second master was too busy.

Yu Lan's situation was slightly better. As a vocalist, she had Lin Yuanbai, a music major, to guide her, so she didn't have to worry about the effect of the arrangement.

This time, Yu Lan sang a part and chorus harmony in her comfort zone of middle range, and did not challenge the most outstanding high note of big C.

After all, Yu Lan couldn't reach the high notes of My Heart Will Go On in the initial evaluation. Vocal improvement is much more difficult than dancing. A good horse can't leap ten steps at a time. It's really unreasonable for her to become a singing genius in just one month.

Lin Yuanbai is indeed very talented. In addition to his good voice and wide range, his skills are also the best he has seen in the show so far, and his emotional expression is extremely accurate. Jiang Huai admits that he cannot compare with him in vocals.

Everyone has his or her own strengths, some are the best in appearance, vocals, dance, and rap. Such gods usually only exist in the comments of fans.

The more he practiced, the less energy Jiang Huai could devote to Yu Lan's pseudonym. August 2, Friday, was the day when the weekly show was broadcast, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to switch to Chu Yuanqing's pseudonym to watch the show.

The past few days of the second public performance have been the most intense period of practice for Jiang Huai since his rebirth. The team members are strong and everyone is eager to stand out in this situation, and it takes much more energy than before.

Although the whole group of people were very well-educated and they all did the exams together openly, and no one would secretly practice on their own after get off work in the early hours of the morning, they still stayed up all night for several days.

In addition, the second public performance was a self-created stage, and this group of people were so demanding that they were a bit nitpicking. From the first version to the final version, there were at least three or four major revisions. They were so persistent that even the dance instructor Xiang Liang couldn't stand it and urgently stopped it during the second review.

There is a huge gap between people. Some people roll to the extreme and present a perfect result; some people swing from the beginning to the end and can't even understand the dance choreographed by their teammates.

Xiang Liang sighed in his heart: "...you have made great progress this time compared to last time, but don't dwell on the details anymore. The director team said that the lights in your practice room were almost never turned off before two o'clock."

The instructor said gently, "I understand that you want to do better, but you are idols after all. Even if you have the energy to persevere, your facial condition will be affected. It won't look good on stage with dark circles under your eyes, right? Just do some overall rehearsals in the next two days and take a good rest to recharge your energy."

He smiled and said, "Whether as a mentor or as an audience member, I am looking forward to your group's performance."

Xiang Liang's words awakened the dreamer.

A phrase that refers to "heavy dark circles under the eyes".

These five words are more lethal than all the other words combined.

A few people who were a little obsessed with practice returned to the practice room and began to confess their ugly faces in the mirror due to staying up all night for several days in a row, and swore that they must disperse on time at 10 o'clock starting today.

Si Xi, who had previously been selling facial masks, took the opportunity to start selling eye cream at a rip-off, and made a huge sum of two hundred yuan from the remaining four people.

August 3rd, Saturday, is the day of the second public performance.

The first thing Jiang Huai did when he got the phone was to send all his old photo inventory to Chu Yuanqing.

This time, the head of the fan club, Deng Zhenyi and Heartbeat, both won the lottery, and no one regretted the crash. The two had invited Chu Yuanqing to have dinner together after the performance. Jiang Huai guessed that they wanted to talk to Chu Yuanqing about his past.

People living in the world always leave various traces. For idols, they may leave traces of their past microblog posts, the sighs of classmates in school, phone calls with family members during the show...

These concrete fragments of information that are closely related to the idol's past life can best inspire fans' exploration and imagination. Fans often piece together a fantasy image based on these clues, and then mix it with real people to eventually form the so-called personality.

Being an idol is not just a profession of selling dreams.

They also sell fantasy.

Adjectives like "kind" and "sincere" are meaningless if no one speaks up to testify to them. If you want to improve your image, these words may seem insignificant, but they are indispensable because they best reflect the "humanity" of idols that fans cannot actually experience.

However, if the words of testimony come from someone else's mouth, there may be a risk of backlash. If the other party suddenly turns against you one day, the fans' trust will collapse instantly, and the consequences will be disastrous.

But Chu Yuanqing would never betray Jiang Huai.

Because that's who he is.

What's more, Jiang Huai doesn't have to tell any lies. He just needs to pick out a few relevant things from his past personal experiences and share them. His fans will help embellish the rest.

If Chu Yuanqing himself had published these experiences directly on social media platforms, it would have seemed too deliberate.

But if Chu Yuanqing accidentally revealed his true feelings while chatting with his colleagues, and his colleagues couldn't help but tell others, and it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, it would be very natural.

And we share the same burden.

——Let’s not talk about Deng Zhenyi for now, it’s clear from the beating of her heart that she is not someone who keeps her mouth shut.

The system yelled: [You are going too far! You are counting on others to spread the news for you and yet you accuse her of being lax! ]

Jiang Huai hummed: [Just tell me if it is true or not. ]

System: […Indeed. If she is tight-lipped, then I am the silent, handsome and cool ruler.]

[Read less Jinjiang novels. Do you have anything to do with these eight words? ]

[Qi, the anger that makes people angry; Tong, the system’s control. Aren’t these just two words?]

The makeup artist stopped and said, "Okay. Let me find a mirror for you to see."

She searched for a long time on the table piled with messy cosmetics, then turned around awkwardly and said, "It seems to have been taken away. You can use the front camera of your phone to have a look, or go to the next door to borrow a mirror. If there is any problem, come back to me to fix it."

Jiang Huai: "Okay, thank you sister."

Jiang Huai turned on the front camera of his phone. There was nothing wrong with his makeup overall, but the front camera was a little blurry, and he couldn't see the most critical eye makeup details today.

Everyone is busy, so there is no one next door to lend him a mirror.

[Stupid. Can't you just look at it from Yu Lan's perspective? ]

It’s true. Yu Lan’s “Spring Breeze” group is more casual, and the makeup is simpler than that of “Kill Me”, and it was finished a long time ago.

Yu Lan pushed open the door. He was wearing a simple white shirt inside and a light apricot sweater outside. His tie was tucked into the sweater. He looked like the vice president of the student union who had a good temper and always spoke in a soft voice. Jiang Huai controlled Yu Lan to walk in front of him. His first reaction was a little ashamed.

In order to promote the peripheral necklaces, "Kill Me", as the group with the most popular contestants, was used as a poster boy and was given a vacuum suit look.

The program crew still had some dignity and did not blatantly sell male beauty. The V-neck was not deep, just enough to reveal a little bit of the chest seam. The pure black suit and the silver necklace on the neck were in sharp contrast.

He didn't feel anything wrong when he put it on just now, but from a third-person perspective, it did seem a bit...

Jiang Huai moved uncomfortably and pulled his clothes up a little.

Yu Lan stared at him, remaining where she was without moving.

Jiang Huai said first: "You just happened to be here. The makeup artist couldn't find a mirror, can you help me check my eye makeup?"

The delicate black eyeshadow is smudged layer by layer to create a smoky effect, slowly spreading from the end of the eye, and with the superimposed silver sequins, it looks like a sea of ​​stars in the dark night sky.

The makeup artist has great skills and the full-coverage eyeliner is applied perfectly to outline Jiang Huai's eye shape. The tail is slightly extended to add a touch of temptation.

The highlight of today's makeup is the gray contact lenses. The lighter eye color has a strange sense of madness, as if she is a rebellious young villain in a comic.

Yu Lan has now become a gold medal salesperson: "It looks good."

He racked his brains to describe it more specifically: "It seems like this is the first time I've seen you wear such heavy makeup. It's different from your usual style, especially..."

Yu Lan finally chose the adjective: "breathtaking."
