A never-failing ACE trainee's journey to becoming a god in the entertainment industry!
Question: Are you tired of every idol you stan collapsing?
Question: Do you want a customized,...
Day 10
The song selection was carried out in groups of six, according to the most conventional method of running and grabbing signs. However, the program team was very fair. Instead of playing a fixed song at the end of each person's track, a white board was placed.
That is to say, choose your favorite songs in the order they are run back.
Fu Xunyan was assigned to the first group. He stood there, warming up, his movements precise and impressive. Lan Yizhou, the trainee who had been sneering beside him, was still to his left, and the next one to him was Dabae.
No one expected that Da Pei's group would send him out. After all, Da Pei was quite crazy. He was the kind of person who might squat down with his hands covering his stomach while running because he was laughing at other people's postures.
Da Pei grinned at Fu Xunyan, opened his mouth and said silently: "I won't let you go later."
Are you looking down on me? Fu Xunyan narrowed his eyes and squatted down.
"Okay, get ready." Jiang Sulin held up the microphone and looked around, finally landing on Fu Xunyan.
"run!"
All the people watching the fight stood on tiptoe and yelled.
"Come on, come on! Erhu fighting!"
"Lan Yi Zhou Lan Yi Zhou! Run! I don't want to rap!"
“I’ll go!”
“What just scraped past???”
Yes, what was that? Jiang Sulin, in a rare moment of bewilderment, dropped his flashcards. Fu Xunyan was so secretive, wasn't he? With that kind of speed, he could have made it to the Olympics, right?
His instantaneous burst of power was truly remarkable. In that split second, he was already over a body length ahead of the others, and the gap only widened as time went on. By the time he got the medal, the others had only just reached the halfway mark.
"Oh my god! Brother Fu, you're so handsome! You're the fastest!"
The overwhelming strength made this group of passionate young people forget their suspicion of Fu Xunyan for a moment, and they all waved their hands to cheer him on.
How could he be so fast? Lan Yizhou's heart skipped a beat, but people's thoughts are subject to inertia. Even though the situation was different, Lan Yizhou's brain still unconsciously executed the trick he had thought of long ago.
He pretended to have weak legs and slightly deviated from his path, just in time to stand in front of Fu Xunyan when he was about to come over, and they were about to collide.
Fu Xunyan couldn't slow down, his eyes were stern, and he was just trying to find a way to lean over and pass by, but the violent collision happened before his eyes earlier.
Da Pei fell over from the side almost at the same time. He also exerted all his strength, so he pushed Lan Yizhou out with great force, causing him to stagger and rush out of the track.
Da Pei just staggered, and after adjusting his pace, he continued to rush towards the finish line like a mad dog chasing people, and he even had time to roar during the process.
"Sorry, sorry, I rushed too far."
When he returned to the finish line, Fu Xunyan was even just breathing slightly - strictly speaking, he didn't need to breathe, it was all because of Lan Yizhou's sudden action that disrupted his rhythm.
"What happened to him? Are you okay?" Bai Zhen, Gu Feng and others gathered behind him and asked Fu Xunyan in a low voice about his situation. Fu Xunyan just shook his head.
Lan Yizhou did it on purpose, but he couldn't point it out directly on the show.
Because of Da Pei's intervention, Lan Yizhou got the last place and looked very unhappy. His teammates didn't understand what he was doing and for a moment they were like meerkats, watching the show at a loss.
In this circle, competition is everywhere, and tricks like this are not uncommon, but it is really stupid to put yourself in last place.
Lan Yizhou insisted that he had leg cramps because he was nervous, so no one could expose him.
Jiang Sulin glanced at him calmly, then smiled and reminded the remaining trainees: "Everyone, just compete, but be sure to pay attention to safety."
The competition among the other six groups was much calmer. There was neither an unexpected incident like Lan Yizhou nor any player who stood out and shocked everyone like Fu Xunyan.
But in the end, someone still made a bold move.
"We also chose 'Wind, Another Night of Rain'."
When Shao Ruzhou spoke, everyone was suspicious and understanding, except for a few people who were good friends with Fu Xunyan, who frowned and glared at Shao Ruzhou and his group.
Under pressure, Shao Ruzhou almost wanted to take back his words, but Zhou Hengyu's presence behind him was so strong that he had to persevere.
Their choice wasn't wrong; choosing the worst group of people as their opponents would guarantee them first place. Furthermore, it wasn't like they didn't have anyone who could sing. While the three students in Class A were all dancers, the remaining two students in Class B and one in Class C were pretty good at singing.
It was Zhou Hengyu who proposed it.
"Did you guys find any favorite songs after listening to the whole thing?"
"Hiss, according to the rules, choosing a song like 'Hot Blood War Song' should be more advantageous."
Zhou Hengyu smiled and glanced at the person who was speaking, rejecting his idea: "No, the most eye-catching song should be 'Wind'."
"Ah?" Everyone was puzzled.
Zhou Hengyu covered his microphone and quickly answered the question: "It's not because of the song itself, but because..."
"Fu Xunyan."
Now everyone understands.
That's right, Fu Xunyan is currently trending the most. If his affair is confirmed, firstly, when they compete with him, the audience will vote for their group out of disgust at Fu Xunyan. Secondly, even if it's just a performance victory, they will be praised as a just punishment afterwards. More importantly, if Fu Xunyan really leaves the show, their group's performance will be badly edited or even completely eliminated.
As another group performing the same song, their gains outside the arena must also be considerable.
Everyone else was persuaded and decisively chose Fu Xunyan's group in their turn.
"Excuse me, why did Shao Ruzhou's team choose Fu Xunyan?"
Shao Ruzhou had already prepared his answer: "Because I think Fu Xunyan is very strong, I don't want to leave any regrets on the show."
But this is only the first public performance, what's the point of talking about regrets? The other trainees all pouted - doesn't this mean that Fu Xunyan will probably leave the show soon?
"What about Fu Xunyan?"
Fu Xunyan stood on the flat ground, much shorter than his teammates behind the stairs, but inexplicably, everyone felt that he was extremely tall, like a giant carved from stone, standing still.
The handsome young man held the microphone with a lazy posture, showing no fear of being provoked. He simply opened his thin lips and responded lightly, "Well, it seems that even if this regret-free ending results in defeat, Ruozhou won't be sad. Such courage? I admire you."
So sarcastic... The other trainees exclaimed in amazement. They had felt at the beginning that Fu Xunyan was not someone to be trifled with, and now it seemed to be true.
When he returned to the dormitory, even Fu Xunyan felt exhausted. He collapsed on the bed, letting the light quilt wrap around him, and placed one hand on his forehead.
I really didn't expect this. I originally planned to try again and take every step more firmly, but instead, I encountered many ups and downs due to various unexpected events.
The scars of the past were revealed, he was targeted by people with bad intentions, and he had to stand at the center of the storm to respond. Each of these things were things that Fu Xunyan was actually not very willing to do.
But what? The young man in the quilt sneered. Those sufferings once existed and would never be eliminated or repeated because of his attitude towards them.
Accept it calmly and face it seriously. This is the only thing Fu Xunyan can do.
Just as he was thinking about something, a pair of hands suddenly closed his forehead. Fu Xunyan opened his eyes and saw Bai Wenji.
Bai Wenji was a bit nearsighted, so he put on glasses when he came back, which made him look even more scholarly. He withdrew his hand nonchalantly: "The temperature has fluctuated a lot recently. I wanted to see if you have a fever."
Fu Xunyan sat up, Da Pei and Shen Chi also came back and looked at him together.
"Don't worry." Fu Xunyan breathed a sigh of relief. "Although there have been a lot of things going on these past two days, I don't think it has affected my health."
"You've been through so much trouble." Da Pei threw off his clothes and walked around the dormitory shirtless. He probably had an allergy to clothes, and the other roommates were used to it.
"Brother Fu, how's the prosecution going? And the results of the investigation? Can they be released before the first public meeting?" Chen Chi was a little worried, his fingers unconsciously scratching the seam of his pants.
Fu Xunyan saw his worried look and grabbed his head and tucked it under his arm, causing him to scream twice: "Brother is the adult, why are you worrying about me? Don't worry, the innocent will be innocent, but I won't let anyone bully me."
"The evidence is sufficient, and this matter has attracted so much attention. The case should be filed quickly. Not to mention the first public hearing, there should be progress in the next two days."
"That's good." Chen Chi was relieved and turned to grab Fu Xunyan's shoulders to break free from his grip, "Ahhh Brother Fu, let me go, I'm not a child."
"Who are you if you are not?" Fu Xunyan took the opportunity to grab Chen Chi's head and made it look like a mess. He showed the most relaxed smile in the past two days, "Two years younger means a lifetime younger."
"That's so romantic..." Da Pei touched his chin, "It's so romantic that it can last a lifetime."
Bai Wenji also laughed. While picking up the shoes that were messed up by Da Pei's reckless rushing around, he couldn't help but have an obsessive-compulsive disorder attack and helped throw the clothes into the dirty clothes basket.

"My old swan." Female instructor Jiang Pianpian covered her head with a look of pain, "Who on earth came up with the idea of watching Class F first? Now that I'm asked to sing this song, I can't even find the tune."
"Well, my eyes have been hurt too. Please ask my assistant to bring me an eye pack. I need to take a break." Rap instructor Bigland leaned back and sighed deeply, forgetting to cover his belly, which rose and fell.
Jiang Sulin and Ou Ruo were also rubbing their temples tiredly. Another young male idol who returned from Country H, Zhang Qu, sighed deeply.
"It's mainly because of the carelessness."
"Yeah, even if you don't have the ability, you should at least show a positive attitude. As an idol, what's the point of practicing a song for five days and then standing there like a piece of wood, unable to move?"
Jiang Sulin clicked on Class A: "Let's relax first?"
"Okay!" The others agreed.
After watching it, everyone's expressions became even more serious.
"Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like they all have lost their light?" Bigland was speechless. "There are a few who did well, like Min Hai, Ye Lai, and Zhou Hengyu, but it still feels like a mechanical performance, lacking any lively appeal."
Ou Ruo nodded: "Actually, Yin Xingheng is not bad, and her singing is also good, but her dancing really needs improvement."
"In short, there are some flaws in everything, and the biggest problem is that there is no charm." Jiang Sulin hit the nail on the head. Seeing the director team shaking their heads anxiously behind the camera, he still tried to make amends in a soothing tone: "But it may be because of the short time. Being able to sing and dance completely is good enough. It's just that there is no time to improve and incorporate my own personal characteristics, which makes it disconnected from the performance."
The other instructors agreed.
"Class A is already like this, what's next..."
Jiang Sulin clicked on the Class B video.
First it was Jiang Han.
"Hey, this guy is pretty good, very lively and youthful, with a cute face. Even though he has a broken voice, he makes people feel full of energy."
Everyone thought they saw hope, but unexpectedly, the final performance of Class B was just mediocre, and there was no one who was particularly outstanding.
"Hey, I remember there should be a Fu Xunyan." Ou Ruo sat up, "Why isn't he here yet?"
"Ah, she's on stage." Jiang Pianpian pointed at the screen, and everyone's eyes focused on it.
The person in the camera retreated to the stage from the camera side, which means he was the first to perform in Group B, so he was the one who turned on the camera.
Although the mentors each had their own announcements and were not always in the program crew, the power of being the number one on the hot search list cannot be underestimated. They all knew what had happened and also knew that Fu Xunyan filmed the re-rating video immediately after the clarification.
How to say it, they all believed that Fu Xunyan was telling the truth, and it was because they believed in Fu Xunyan that they were even more worried about him.
The young man in the video looked normal. He must have washed his face, as his hair was still a little damp, making it look even curlier. He was completely natural, but his skin was fair, thick eyebrows, and dark eyes. Aside from his slightly pale lips, he had no flaws at all.
The others were indeed the older men who had not dressed up in the morning, but he looked like a model who had deliberately dressed up like this to shoot a blockbuster.
His narrow eyes weren't small, and when they blinked, they unconsciously stirred up a quiet aura. His high nose bridge complemented his thin, diamond-shaped lips. His face was also smooth, with a sharp jawline that wasn't prominent, just right.
"Although I have seen it many times, every time the camera focuses on his face, I still want to exclaim how handsome he is." Jiang Pianpian couldn't help but support her chin and praise.
"Yeah, can you let me live with this face for a day?" Bigland immediately chimed in, supporting his chin like a fangirl.
Ou Ruo was still very worried. Although Fu Xunyan had sung well before, that was just following the rules. Could his temperament really meet the youthfulness required by this song?
The music starts and the drum beats hit people's hearts, but they are not heavy, but lively and jumping.
"I fly because I have wings
I dive because I want to see the ocean scenery
The world is free, I run with my ideals
Run to the end of the world and break into the new century"
The young man changed his voice, making the high notes more transparent, and even with the simplest recording equipment, one could hear the resonance in his head cavity.
It was as if some magic had been performed. Although he usually spoke in a lazy manner, at this moment he was fully conveying such passionate and hopeful emotions.
He raised his hand, folded it, passed it across his chest, and then raised it high again. His eyes sparkled, and he portrayed the passionate idiot who simply rushed forward with his dreams to the fullest.
Every movement is very standard, and beyond the standard, it is obvious that he has his own rhythm, and that ease can be felt by the audience.
Such positive and happy emotions can also be passed on to everyone.
The mentors were also stunned, with only the light from the screen flickering in their eyes. They only turned around slowly after Fu Xunyan finished his performance and bowed.
The young man on the screen had no negative emotions at all. He was smiling while singing. Although his smile was not that bright, he was full of confidence, making people believe that he could do everything.
He stood there, breathing slightly, his face slightly red from dancing.
His eyes were terrifyingly bright, full of hope, but... they also made people feel a deep sadness.
Although the positive emotions conveyed by the song are intoxicating, once everyone thinks about what happened to him, they immediately understand the sadness behind those eyes, a heavy sadness that envelops people like air.
As the story unfolds, the young man, filled with hope in the song, ultimately fails, as if this is his predetermined fate. He sings about charging forward, about never giving up, yet he is already on the verge of being swallowed up.
Jiang Pianpian sniffed, blaming herself for being too emotional and prone to overthinking. Turning back, Bigland was already tearing up. Even seniors Jiang Sulin and Ou Ruo had tears in their eyes.
Bigland, known for his straightforward personality, immediately spoke to the production team while wiping away tears: "Is there nothing we can do to speak up for him? This is too tragic..."
The program crew quickly crossed themselves out to stop him. Fortunately, this part was recorded, and they would cut out these words later.
Ou Ruo sighed. "Let's put that aside for now and evaluate his performance objectively. I think his singing is definitely an A. Not only is it the most stable, but it's also the most emotional."
Others also gave A.
"So this is the result." Jiang Sulin looked at the production team, "Is it okay to give it an A? Or do you have other plans?"
The director shook his head.
