Chapter 46 Is it going to rain red from the sky?

Seeing Xu Hexuan, Lian Cheng frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

"If you can come, why can't I?"

Xu Hexuan disagreed.

In fact, Lian Cheng wasn't the only one who had noticed Jiang Monan during this time. Many of his old friends in the circle had noticed this boy who looked exactly like Mo Bei.

It was precisely because the other party was too similar to Mo Bei that Xu Hexuan could not let him go, so he took the initiative to contact the program team and asked to be a guest on the show.

When the movie star takes the initiative to contact them, how could the production team refuse? So this scene happened.

Lian Cheng said with a forced smile: "I'm here to recruit new talents. As an actor, you come to participate in this kind of program, don't tell me you want to change your career."

"Is it not possible?"

Xu Hexuan still had a nonchalant look on his face. "I received an invitation from the production team of 'The Indomitable Brothers' some time ago, so I wanted to get used to the singing and dancing stage in advance. Is that too much to ask?"

Lian Cheng: "...You'd better be like this."

Although he didn't believe Xu Hexuan's lies at all, Lian Cheng didn't say anything.

Anyway, no matter what, he will be the only one in the same group with Jiang Mo Nan.

It was a blessing from heaven. Yesterday, the production team informed him that Jiang Mo Nan's group also included two high-ranking debutants, Sheng Yanyu and Lei Lie. This saved him the trouble of finding another opportunity to negotiate with them.

Before coming, he had already decided to sign all these players to their company.

Of course, this is the ideal situation.

As for the worst case scenario… he hasn’t thought about it yet.

Anyway, things will work out in the end. He never worries about things that haven't happened yet.

The contestants in the audience did not notice the little tricks between the two big guys, but were caught up in the curiosity and confusion about who they would be in the same group with next.

"Although Actor Xu is also very good, but if we want to collaborate on a stage, it would be most suitable for him to be with Instructor An, right?"

"Brother Lu Ye and Instructor Li are also good."

Hearing the contestants' murmurs, the host on the stage couldn't help but laugh: "Good boy, you actually picked it?"

After Zeng Yu pointed this out, the contestants scratched their heads in embarrassment. "Well, we definitely don't dislike you two. It's just..."

"Okay, I know you're joking."

Zeng Yu smoothed over the situation with just one sentence, and then continued:

"Next, the three mentors and two guests will choose the groups they want to work with. You will have about a week to practice and get acquainted with each other."

"Since both guests are new to our show, and as new friends of 'Youth Project,' they have priority in selection."

After the words fell, Lian Cheng said directly: "I choose the 'Tornado' group."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mo Bei and the others, but also Xu Hexuan, who had been expressionless at the side, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

“I want to choose Tornado too!”

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar at the scene.

Wow, Boss Lian and Actor Xu actually chose the same song?

And it’s “Tornado” with such a strong, avant-garde and dark style?!

These uncles...oh no, these big brothers are so powerful?

Unlike other contestants who were just watching the show, the eight members of the "Tornado" group, as the ones chosen by the two seniors, were feeling very complicated at this time.

I have both expectations and concerns. I look forward to working with the best actor, but I also worry about working with the best actor.

Sheng Yanyu frowned slightly. Although he was a former trainee at Zaoxing Entertainment, he didn't think Lian Cheng was targeting him.

After all, Mr. Lian didn't usually care much about the company's affairs. In the past eight years, he had appeared at the company only a few times. After all, the entertainment company was just one of his many businesses.

It is precisely because of this that Sheng Yanyu feels that even if he now has a certain popularity, the other party will not come to the show specifically to poach him.

His intuition told him that the reason why the other party came to this show was most likely because of Jiang Mo Nan.

On the other side, the two big men on the stage have already started to confront each other.

Lian Cheng, who had already seen the choreography for "Tornado" in advance through connections with the production team, said, "This song is quite difficult. If you go on stage with zero basic skills, won't you be holding the other contestants back?"

But Xu Hexuan retorted disapprovingly, "Won't you be a drag if you go on stage? As far as I know, you haven't sung or danced on stage in many years, right? You're quite old, how can you do it with your old arms and legs?"

Lian Cheng retorted, "I'm quite old, how can you be that young? Don't forget that you're older than me!"

Xu Hexuan: "Although I am older than you, I am physically stronger than you."

The two of them exchanged words, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

The contestants never expected that the two guests would quarrel over the group selection during the recording of the show, and they were a little at a loss for a while.

In comparison, the host Zeng Yu seemed much calmer, and even had the mind to make fun of it——

"How about you two have a fight?"

It was widely known that Lian Cheng and Xu Hexuan didn't get along. While on the surface, they appeared to have no conflict of interest, verbal battles were inevitable whenever they appeared in the same setting. No one knew the true nature of their feud.

Some senior members of the industry said they were not surprised. After all, they had been like this for more than 20 years.

At that time, Mo Bei was mediating between them. Once Mo Bei left, the lubricant between them was lost and the relationship became increasingly tense.

I just didn't expect that these two people who have such a bad relationship would be on the same show, and it's an unexpected talent show...

Thinking of this, Zeng Yu suddenly paused.

As if he thought of something, he suddenly looked at the contestant in the audience who had remained calm throughout.

Looking at the face that looked like Mo Bei, Zeng Yu suddenly seemed to understand something.

After a moment of surprise, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lian Cheng has disliked Xu Hexuan since he was young. Not only is he stubborn and inflexible, he also has low emotional intelligence. In short, he looks dull.

But Mo Bei took great care of him and treated him with great concern.

It was clearly him and Mo Bei who knew each other first. They had been roommates and teammates for five years. Why was Xu Hexuan, a guy who showed up halfway, so arrogant?

Just as Lian Cheng disliked Xu Hexuan, Xu Hexuan also disliked Lian Cheng.

In his eyes, Lian Cheng was just a rich young man who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world. He was lazy and casual, without fighting spirit or ambition. He and Mo Bei were completely different people.

Only he can understand Mo Bei, and only he can be called Mo Bei's best friend!

Lian Cheng was just lucky, having been teammates with Mo Bei for a few years. Speaking of relationships, it was clear that they were closer!

The director team did not expect that Actor Xu would also choose "Tornado". When the two of them were arguing, the contestants from the "Tornado" team, as the chosen party, had the right to choose.

Zeng Yu looked at Mo Bei——

"Jiang Mo Nan, these two seniors both want to team up with you. Who do you want to choose?"

Mo Bei didn't expect the host to suddenly throw the question to him. After thinking for a moment, he answered -

"Both seniors are very good, and it would be an honor for us to have either of them come. However, I personally want to work with mentor An Junze more."

Upon hearing this, the other contestants at the scene all showed expressions of respect. Although Jiang Mo Nan's idea was also the idea of ​​many contestants, they did not expect that the other party would actually choose mentor An Junze in front of the two big guys. This was too fierce!

After hearing Mo Bei's words, the two people who were arguing suddenly stopped.

An Junze? Who?

After being stunned for a moment, Lian Cheng's mind, which had been dizzy with anger caused by Xu Hexuan, gradually calmed down.

Oh, I remember now. He's a popular singer-dancer in recent years. He seems to be from a boy band and has a lot of fans. He's also a mentor on this show.

However, due to his personal schedule, he seems to be showing up a little later.

It was precisely because of this that mentor An Junze, who was not at the scene, became Mo Bei's lifeline to divert and resolve the conflict.

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Unfortunately, Mr. An Junze is not here right now and cannot respond to your confession."

As he spoke, he looked at Lian Cheng and Xu Hexuan, "Since neither of you is willing to give in, then let's choose the fairest way to play."

Lian Cheng & Xu Hexuan: “?”

"Let's draw lots!"

Zeng Yu took two pieces of paper from the program staff and said, "Each of you pick one. Whoever draws the piece of paper with the song title on it will join the 'Tornado' group."

Things have developed to this point, and cooperation with the two guests seems to be a foregone conclusion.

The only thing left is to choose one of the two.

Thinking of this, the contestants of "Tornado" began to pray in their hearts.

"It has to be Mr. Xu!"

Although no one said it, many people knew in their hearts what Lian Cheng's purpose was in coming to the show.

In addition to signing Sheng Yanyu back to the company, the other party may also be targeting popular contestants such as Jiang Mo Nan and Lei Lie.

How can their performance be good if they are in the same group with people with such impure motives?

Not to mention that the other party hasn't been on stage for many years.

Although Xu Hexuan had no singing or dancing experience, he had filmed numerous action scenes and had strong motor skills. A week of intensive training should be no problem.

What's more, he's an award-winning actor! Apart from this show, on this stage, where else in life can you get the chance to work with an award-winning actor?

Perhaps it was because the contestants' voices were so strong that they moved God, and Xu Hexuan opened the note in his hand, and there was an English word written in black and white on it - "Tornado".

Upon seeing this, the contestants of "Tornado" breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Yanyu couldn't help but feel relieved. If possible, he didn't want to have any contact with his former company.

Only Mo Bei.

In fact, all the answers he gave to the host's questions were true.

If he could, he wouldn't choose either Lian Cheng or Xu Hexuan. But there was no way around it; fate had destined him to meet his old friend. He couldn't avoid it, so he had to face it head-on.

Lian Cheng lost to Xu Hexuan in the draw, and his face looked very ugly.

Zeng Yu immediately stepped in to smooth things over: "The 'Tornado' group is full, you can still choose from the remaining four groups."

However, Lian Cheng did not follow Zeng Yu's process. He only asked to suspend the recording and then called the director team.

It's unclear what he said to the other person, but moments later the director team announced that Lian Cheng had been promoted from a supporting guest to a special guest. He would not be participating in this round of performances, but would only be responsible for observation and supervision. The other special guest was Yan Xiaoya, a female singer under Zaoxing Entertainment and the queen of OSTs.

The sudden change not only caught the contestants off guard, but also surprised Xu Hexuan.

But he didn't say anything about Lian Cheng's behavior.

After all, Yan Xiaoya is an artist of the other company, so it is understandable that she follows the boss's arrangements.

For the players, this change is undoubtedly the best.

Yan Xiaoya is a great singer and a beautiful woman, and many people are her fans. Now that they have the opportunity to work with the goddess, the contestants are simply overjoyed.

Despite the minor drama, the guest grouping issue was ultimately resolved. The remaining four groups were assigned their respective positions after the mentors reunited.

After the group recording was completed, the guests, mentors and contestants had a two-hour lunch break. After lunch, practice officially began.

Normally, the guests would have lunch with the mentors. But no one expected Xu Hexuan to follow the contestants directly to the cafeteria!

What is even more shocking is that Actor Xu, who has always had a distant image, actually smiled gently at Jiang Mo Nan!

Oh my god, is it going to rain red rain from the sky?
