Social phobia usually manifests in two ways when facing crowds: either sudden hyperactivity and mania caused by nervousness, or instant shutdown and drowsiness until fainting. Chu Yu happens to be ...
Chapter 14
Almost every corner of the studio was equipped with speakers. The props team's original intention was to allow the audience, no matter where they sat, to clearly enjoy the music on the stage. However, at this moment, it was as if a boiling kettle lit up in everyone's ears, running around the entire building at a loud volume of 800 decibels, regardless of the lives of others.
Jing Yan on the stage was stunned. He almost made a mistake in the opening action. Xie Man closed his eyes in despair, but when he thought that the culprit of the sharp explosion had no idea that others could hear it, his cheek twitched in despair.
The psychological activities of the four people can be roughly summarized in two sentences:
Oh no, it's over.
Also, don't laugh.
On the brightly lit stage, the handsome guy standing at the end of the five-person team had an exquisite cold face that was unforgettable. He pursed his lips, his expression motionless, and his whole body exuded an indifferent and aloof temperament that kept strangers away.
No one knows how many times he broke through the defense in just three minutes.
For Chu Yu, dancing is difficult in itself, singing and dancing at the same time is even more difficult, and performing singing and dancing in front of hundreds of audiences is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Even though the system had encouraged him countless times before today, and he himself repeatedly told himself that the audience was just a bunch of cabbages and carrots, when he really faced this scene in person, Chu Yu was still panicked and wanted to go crazy.
How can there be so many cabbages packed all over the studio? I'm going to have trypophobia!
The more nervous a person is, the more easily he is distracted, and the more likely he is to make mistakes in his hand movements, not to mention that it is difficult for him to tame his limbs.
A fierce and sexy drum beat sounded, and the five people squatted down together, twisting their waists and doing a classic wave movement. Chu Yu was at the end of the line and heard a crisp "crack" sound from his bones.
...Oh no, I think I sprained my back.
He still maintained a calm expression on his face, with his eyelids drooping and not daring to glance forward. Because of his nervousness, his mind was blank and he could not hear any sounds from outside the field.
Then the whole hall could hear the excited and mysteriously confident shimmering scream in his own head:
[Look at me, a 70-year-old man, feeling my second spring! ]
The system covered its head and wanted to die.
In the distance, an uncontrollable chuckle suddenly erupted from the originally solemn judges' seats.
Several older superstars or top singers turned their heads to look at the man sitting on the far left. Wei Shao, still trying to suppress a smile, turned back to his seniors and said, "Isn't it funny?"
Ling Wei couldn't help but covered the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.
It was really funny, and many areas in the audience were already laughing.
The singing and dancing in front of him was still going on, with a killing part in the middle. Chu Yu stood in the C position under the attention of everyone, and began the only golden ten seconds of the night that was not embarrassing. After singing, he pulled the microphone and coldly retreated to the end of the team, as if nothing had happened.
If not everyone heard his thunderous inner voice broadcast, the label of "the most beautiful girl in the show" would definitely be attached to this handsome guy.
Ji Fengzhu had a complicated expression. He sighed and twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand. He said the most gentle words in a tone that was hard to describe: "... Actually, the singing is not bad?"
Wei Shao nodded in agreement and began to fold his arms, wholeheartedly appreciating the performance in front of him.
The camera cuts back to the stage, and Chu Yu makes a pia-ji, and slides halfway through the cool space dance. His left foot steps hard on his right foot, taking the first step of the spiral ascension.
Chu Yu didn't show it on his face, but his inner voice gradually became ferocious:
【Watch me tie twists and turns like a whirlwind! 】
Fu Hansong, who originally had an unhappy face in the audience, now opened his mouth wide towards the stage. He had never seen such a scene in his life and was stunned.
The other trainees were also dumbfounded.
Although many people knew in the practice room that there would be a broadcast sound in the air from time to time when someone was present, they did not expect that with such a large stage and so many speakers, the power of this broadcast sound would be more than ten times stronger than usual.
Wei Ziyu covered his ears with ease. He had experienced how brainwashing Chu Yu's magic voice was. He was even secretly happy about it, thinking that finally someone could share this ancestor's continuous mental attack with him. But when he turned around, he saw Jiang Chenglu staring at the stage intently, and he couldn't help but let out a "tsk".
Jiang Chenglu stupidly watched the four people on the stage dancing in unison, and the person at the back awkwardly following suit. He watched intently for a long while before he sighed. Wei Ziyu quietly pricked up one ear and heard his ex-boyfriend say:
"He has a great ability to rhyme."
The audience in the distance were already laughing like crazy, but Chu Yu on the stage couldn't hear the commotion below the stage. He could only continue to entertain everyone with a cold face.
As the stage progressed to the last pistol dance segment, the melody became more explosive and powerful. Chu Yu felt as if he had one foot in the grave at this point, and even had a sense of relief that everything was settled.
Then, in this sense of security, he forgot another action.
In a flash, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled coldly. The smile was lazy and seductive, which complemented the shooting gesture he raised.
However, before any audience member could be moved by his bewitching beauty, a calm and crazy broadcast echoed in every corner of the studio in a soul-stirring manner.
【Shoot all of you and then commit suicide! 】
A trainee from Class B, who was sitting next to Jiang Chenglu, held his forehead after hearing this and said, "...He's really good at betting."
Now everyone was laughing so hard that they were falling over.
Chu Yu left the scene calmly amidst the laughter and joy. Before turning his back and leaving, he made a rational and objective conclusion:
【Perfect, even I am amused myself. 】
If you look closely through the telescope, you can even see the evil curl at the corner of his mouth.
The beats of the music gradually died down, and with each fainter sound, Chu Yu's desire to die grew stronger.
I can't live anymore. Goodbye Teacher Tong, I'm going on a long voyage tonight.
In the midst of the mournful silence, the system corrected his name: "My last name is Zhao."
The announcement will start automatically as soon as the music ends:
"Alright, everyone on stage, please don't look back. The live audience voting will begin. The time limit is one minute. After one minute, all trainees please turn around and see the results of your votes."
Uh, a large-scale social death scene.
Chu Yu began to feel sad. He slowly closed his eyes, not wanting to face the reality that he might not get a single vote.
Although I am a 0, I don’t want to get 0 everywhere in life. It’s too depressing.
The radio was still repeating the criteria for voting for the contestants, ranging from strength, stage presence, appearance, image management, etc. Chu Yu became more and more desperate as he listened. What did he have?
All that was left of him was his face.
"It's okay. There are still a lot of people obsessed with looks these days. You can't be zero."
The system cheered up and comforted him, but it also began to think in its heart that if it really had to follow the host to the overpass to apply a phone screen protector in the future, it should code a program to increase the sensitivity of the fingers, so that Chu Yu could feel more relaxed.
We still have to prepare for a rainy day.
Just as everyone and their system were sighing in their heads, the voting results came out.
"Okay, now please turn around and check your votes."
Chu Yu took a deep breath, made all mental preparations, and with a fearless attitude, slowly turned around.
Fully booked.
He was stupid.
He looked at it twice more to make sure that his name and profile picture were displayed next to the full-vote bar chart, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
