Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Cracked Ice

This is no longer the era where good wine needs no bush. No matter how good a thing is, no one will know about it if no one promotes it.

As early as last week when the direct-shot data skyrocketed, rounds of discussions had been launched in Lu Yao's super topic.

The newly established Lu Yao data group is not very mature yet, but the members of the group all have a heart that loves Lu Yao. They think about it over and over again, and vote continuously. After the "CRAZY" live broadcast has two million views, they have a preliminary plan to recommend Lu Yao.

As soon as the official footage of "CRAZY" went online, I immediately started collecting data, striving to get the best performance for this stage video and maximize its streams. I also started spreading comments and comments, promoting Lu Yao. If I could get just one more person to notice Lu Yao, who mostly stood in the corner and didn't have many personal parts, that would mean more people would search for her straight-filmed videos, and perhaps even more people would like and support her.

The number of fans on their super topic of 80,000 is really too small, and the possibility of less than one in a thousand being willing to do this is even lower. Their comments and barrages may also be drowned out by the comments of other people, but the fans' enthusiasm for the little idols is so pure. As long as there is one more chance for their little idols to be seen, they are willing to work hard for it.

Things went more smoothly than expected. The fifth generation's debut plan had already attracted much attention, and their first concert was even more of a hot topic. Whether they were fans of the fifth generation or not, everyone clicked on the stage video that had just been released out of curiosity.

Among the posts flooding the screens of the top celebrities, the unfamiliar words "Lu Yao" stood out.

This weekend, the name Lu Yao made a real impression for the first time in the fan circle of the development series.

While fans online are working hard, the trainees in the practice room are even less likely to be idle. Lu Yao, the only one with more time, started learning how to arrange music after watching the latest materials online.

Because of his injury, he couldn't learn dance or sing from morning till night. After consulting with Lu Yao, Ding Ling arranged a new music arrangement class for him. Taking advantage of the free time, he filmed a full class, interspersed with keyboard lessons.

When others finished practicing, Lu Yao would join them to practice the vocal music for the concert.

"Bai You, let's practice "Blessing" again tonight?" As soon as the teacher left, Qiu Yuge looked at Bai You.

"Blessing" is the singing and dancing stage for seven people: Qiu Yuge, Zhu Xiangming, Yin Hongxue, Cang Zizhen, Bai You, Wu Hai, and Wan Yuanzhou. These seven people happened to be the top seven in popularity in the last vote, and they have a stage this time. It is hard to say that the company did not arrange the personnel based on the voting results.

Bai You was still thinking about the dance moves from earlier. When he heard Qiu Yuge's words, he subconsciously shook his head before he could react: "No."

Qiu Yuge was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Evening was free practice time. Could Bai You be practicing other dances? But right now, "Blessing" was causing the most problems, and Qiu Yuge couldn't think of a reason why Bai You wouldn't practice "Blessing" in favor of something else.

"No, it's not that I won't practice." Bai You reacted, "I'm going to go find Lu Yao first. If he's okay over there, I'll practice 'Blessing' later."

"Lu Yao?" Qiu Yuge's confusion was obvious. "Doesn't he have a stage? What's going on? Or are you guys going to practice those two songs tonight?"

Qiu Yuge looked at Wu Hai and got a shake of his head.

He looked at Lu Jianian again and got a wave of the hand.

The members of both songs expressed their opinion of 'no'.

"Isn't this a matter of not practicing?"

"No, no." Bai You waved his hands and explained anxiously, "I was worried that something might happen to him, so I went over to see if there was anything I could help with."

“???” Qiu Yuge blinked blankly. They were all in class at the company. What could Lu Yao possibly need Bai You’s help with?

He smiled speechlessly.

"Okay, then I'll go practice something else tonight."

After saying that, without waiting for Bai You's response, Qiu Yuge walked out with his phone.

"Wait a minute, don't leave so quickly." Li Qiang and Xu Bin walked in, holding cameras. "Let's record the interview."

"Come on, come on, you first." Li Qiang pointed the camera at Qiu Yuge who was closest to him. Qiu Yuge stopped, lowered his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Ask."

"The concert is less than two weeks away, how are you feeling?"

"It's pretty good." Qiu Yuge curled his lips. "Everyone has prepared a lot for this concert and is practicing very hard. I hope everyone likes it."

“Did you find it hard?”

"It's hard, yes." Qiu Yuge nodded, "but when I think about meeting everyone, I'm very motivated, so I don't feel it's hard anymore."

Hearing Qiu Yuge's answer, Li Qiang couldn't help but silently exclaimed "Wow" behind the camera.

Otherwise, Qiu Yuge is the most popular. Listen to this answer, which fan would not be happy?

"Did you encounter any problems?"

Hearing Xu Bin's question, Qiu Yuge's raised lip corners faded slightly, and his eyes turned cold. He paused for a few seconds before speaking with a hint of mockery: "What's the problem? It's just that someone is too busy, busy taking care of the wounded." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to sense something was wrong and quickly stopped talking. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes and looked at the camera again, he opened his mouth to explain, but in the end, he said nothing, only silently asking: "Any other questions?"

Xu Bin felt something was wrong, but Qiu Yuge looked like she wanted to leave, which made him realize that he wouldn't get an answer if he asked again, so he shook his head and said, "No more."

Qiu Yuge curled his lips and said, "Then I'm leaving."

After Qiu Yuge left the dance studio, Xu Bin and Li Qiang looked at each other. After confirming that neither of them knew what had happened, they went straight to the next person to interview.

It is normal to have mood swings due to the tight practice schedule.

Huang Xi and Lu Jianian sat by the wall to rest. After seeing Qiu Yuge leave, Huang Xi asked Lu Jianian with a puzzled look on his face, "Why is Qiu Yuge so angry?"

Lu Jianian looked at Huang Xi in surprise: "You actually noticed that Qiu Yuge was angry? Aren't you always very-" slow?

After swallowing the last few words, Lu Jianian did not say them out loud.

Huang Xi smiled wryly, "Qiu Yuge was so obviously angry, how could I not see it?"

Lu Jianian suddenly realized.

That's true. Qiu Yuge's big eyes can't hide her emotions at all.

It’s just that Qiu Yuge was rarely seen unhappy, so he didn’t think about it for a while.

Now thinking back carefully, the happiness and anger were so obvious on Qiu Yuge's face.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you." Lu Jianian patted Huang Xi's shoulder, almost thinking that this person suddenly became sensitive, which scared him.

Huang Xi didn't understand what Lu Jianian was apologizing for, but he still cared. "So what is Qiu Yuge angry about?"

Hearing the question, Lu Jianian smiled with satisfaction. This is Huang Xi's level.

He shook his finger. "You don't need to know. It's not a big deal anyway."

He looked at Bai You, who was practicing dancing in front of the mirror while waiting for the interview, and couldn't help but wonder, Bai You, who was as slow as Huang Xi, did he realize that Qiu Yuge was angry with him?

Lu Jianian's question was soon answered.

Qiu Yuge's anger this time affected the entire Fifth Generation.

He did not take his anger out on others, but just went to work silently, practiced silently, ate silently... and completed everything silently and quickly.

——Especially when Bai You and Lu Yao were present, it was so cold that it seemed like ice could come out of it.

And this low pressure inevitably affects everyone.

Most of the trainees who have been living under the camera have developed the ability to read people's expressions. They quickly discovered that something was wrong with Qiu Yuge, and felt uneasy because of this.

Qiu Yuge, who has always been the most popular, is undoubtedly the center of the entire fifth-generation social circle. Everyone surrounds him. Even if they don’t obey him, they will never refute him.

After all, no one knows whether he will be cyber-bullied by Qiu Yuge's fans just because of his dissatisfaction with Qiu Yuge in front of the camera.

Zhu Xiangming, Yin Hongxue and Cang Zizhen, who are also very popular, quietly distanced themselves from Qiu Yuge and Bai You. If they want to avoid problems, then staying away from the source of the problem is the most fundamental method.

Bai You has been extremely busy during this period. Lu Jianian, who has been observing him, can't even tell whether Bai You noticed that Qiu Yuge was angry.

Wanyuanzhou and Wu Hai, for the first time, turned their attention to Wang Mingzhi and others. They went in and out with them every day, and those who didn't know would think they were going to cooperate this time.

As for Lu Jianian himself, he felt that observing from the periphery of the storm was the most exciting thing.

Therefore, during the busiest stage of concert preparations, the atmosphere of the entire Fifth Generation became unprecedentedly stagnant.

When I walked into the practice room, I could only hear the music and the sound of footsteps.

However, this low pressure is not entirely a bad thing. When everyone is on edge, the efficiency of practice is unprecedentedly high.

No one complained of being tired or suffering. As soon as Qiu Yuge glanced at them, everyone consciously stood in formation and practiced silently. Although their numb faces were filled with eyes that were crying for help.

"Do it again." Qiu Yuge pushed back his sweaty bangs. The fatigue of his body made his brain empty, which was unexpectedly comfortable and made him not want to stop.

Bai You immediately responded: "Sure."

The others walked back to their seats silently. Seeing that everyone was ready, Lu Yao started playing music.

Practice began again. Lu Jianian could see Lu Yao sitting lazily on the sofa through the mirror. This scene seemed absurd to him.

The angry Qiu Yuge practiced desperately, but the angry Bai You didn't notice it at all. Lu Yao, the source of the conflict, just sat aside like a spectator.

So, Lu Jianian sighed, this group of trainees just couldn’t truly become friends.

No matter how good the relationship is when you are young, problems will arise when you grow older.

Fans, competition, debut... there are so many conflicts between them that the friendship above them is like the ice on the water in winter.

No one knows whether the ice under their feet will be able to bear the weight of two people next. Maybe in the next second, the ice will crack and they will fall into the bottomless abyss.

Even if we walk together for a short time, the ice will inevitably melt when spring comes.

The author has something to say: Children’s friendship: If your best friend plays with someone else, then I won’t play with you!

When I was little, my anger was inexplicable. And my reconciliation was even more inexplicable.
