Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The Fifth Epoch Begins

There are a total of five trailers released in this wave. Fans have watched them one by one and found that these trailers are almost entirely separate trailers for Lu Yao, Bai You, Qiu Yuge, Yin Hongxue and Zhu Xiangming. The five of them appear in the five trailers as the protagonists, and the other trainees are just supporting roles in these trailers.

So before the quarrel even started, the fans’ rights protection came again.

The Weibo accounts for Minghui Entertainment, the Fifth Quadrant, and Lvyang Film and Television were flooded with fans, questioning why only these five people had trailers, and whether the others didn't deserve names. Lu Yao's fans also expressed their concerns about the content of the trailers, demanding they be removed and re-edited, claiming they damaged the trainees' image.

There were also fans of Qiu Yuge protesting that he didn't have enough screen time, fans of him and Bai You protesting that their CP line appeared in the trailer, and fans of Bai You protesting that Lu Yao appeared repeatedly in the video... In short, there were a wide variety of comments from fans of various groups, and it was quite lively.

The discussion on the first trailer in the forum has not yet ended, and the discussion on the second trailer has started again.

This time there are five! [link][link][link][link][link]

I took a look and found that it was basically the individual trailers for Qiu Yuge, Zhu Xiangming, Yin Hongxue, Lu Yao, and Bai You. I don't know what they say.

I've watched it, and it's quite different from the previous trailer.

The previous version of the trailer made it seem like everyone was rejecting Lu Yao, but in this version of the trailer with Lu Yao, aren’t everyone voting for him?

I don't know what the vote is.

【3rd floor】

Why these five people? Don’t the others have trailers?

In the next wave?

It will be aired in two days, there won't be another wave of trailers, right?

6th Floor

After watching it, I found that everyone’s trailer is completely his one-man show... Aren’t the fans of other companies making a fuss?

18th Floor

Did you hear the song at the end of the trailer? Was it sung by these people in the trailer?

19th Floor

Reply [18th floor]

It seems so! The voice sounds very similar!

20th Floor

I listened to it, and it's true! The song at the end of each trailer is sung by the main character in that trailer! So this trailer is edited to be sung? Is this song the theme song of the show?

21st floor

Reply [20th floor]

That should be the theme song. In this case, it is clear why the trailer is for these five people. They are probably the top five in the theme song assessment, so they recorded this song.

Voting for Lu Yao should be voting for the theme song C position. I didn't expect so many people to vote for Lu Yao. Judging from the last trailer, I thought they were afraid of Lu Yao.

22nd Floor

What about those who say that others are ostracizing Lu Yao? Come out, why haven't you spoken today?

He was holding a specially edited trailer and swearing that it was true, but he didn't know that he was just a clown.

The program team has so much material, can’t they edit it however they want?

Didn't everyone vote for Lu Yao in today's trailer? What's going on? They were ostracizing him two days ago, but not today?

23rd Floor

Reply [22nd floor]

Really, I was laughing the past two days. Everyone was talking about Lu Yao's competition theory, and others were forming a group, making it seem like Lu Yao had done something unforgivable.

The result was that it was maliciously edited by the program crew.

Everyone should use their brains when surfing the Internet. Don't believe everything you see. How can you trust something like a trailer? Isn't that what the production team can edit however they want?

Giving Lu Yao such a big script is just for the sake of publicity!

【33rd Floor】

There are some people in this forum whom I don't want to talk about, because I know you were hurt by the trailers a few days ago. As soon as today's trailer came out, you couldn't help but start criticizing them. However, there have been a lot of analyses about Lu Yao in the group since the first day Lu Yao was made public. It's not that people started saying that after the last trailer came out.

You can say that those who make analyses have made malicious interpretations, but Lu Yao’s performance in every material can verify those analyses. Are these coincidences?

I was just wondering when you can open your eyes and see that Lu Yao is not the poor good boy you are talking about?

【34th Floor】

Reply [33rd floor]

Stop talking, you can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Instead of telling them this, I should look forward to the show. I have a feeling that this show will be very exciting.

There are only five people in the trailer. Are these people the center of the theme song?

[link][link][link][link][link]

[1st floor]

That should be it. Doesn't the Lu Yao trailer say something about 'killing part performers' at the end? Doesn't this mean the C position of the theme song? And isn't there a song at the end of each trailer? Are they the voices of these five people?

【2nd floor】

Reply [1st floor]

I saw fans say it was the voice of each of them.

【3rd floor】

There are five Cs?

It shouldn’t be the five Cs, right? These five people seem to have different positions, and they are here according to their positions?

Reply [4th floor]

That's possible.

This trailer is very different from the last one. In the last trailer, I thought no one liked the one named Lu Yao, but in today's trailer, weren't there a lot of people who chose him?

As for the guy named Qiu Yuge, the program crew specifically asked him during the interview whether he wanted to be in the same group with Bai You. His expression changed instantly after he was asked. My intuition tells me that there must be a story behind this. Is there any friend who can give me some advice?

Yes! Friends, yes! Welcome to the fifth generation of the only American CP Qiu Bai!

This is so addictive! Judging by Qiu Yuge's appearance in the interview, it's clear he hasn't moved on yet! How can this not be addictive? This is so addictive!

Therefore, Qiu Yuge and Bai You have always been best friends. Qiu Yuge is the youngest brother, so Bai You has always taken care of Qiu Yuge, and only takes care of Qiu Yuge. The relationship between the two is very good.

But after Lu Yao came, Bai You didn't know what happened, but abandoned Qiu Yuge and ran to take care of Lu Yao?

So Qiu Yuge hated the love he couldn't get?

Wow, childhood sweethearts can’t beat the one who comes from the sky, the sweet couple suddenly turns into a love triangle, how exciting is that?

Don’t listen to those CP posts and talk nonsense. Of course Bai You has to take care of Lu Yao. If it weren’t for Lu Yao, he would have died long ago, okay?

Lu Yao actually saved Bai You and even gave him twenty-seven stitches?

Oh my god

This deserves a good reward.

Don't just take care of her for a while, taking care of her for a lifetime is a must.

Is this the "Lu Yao Twenty-Seven Needles"? I've seen this before. So this is the story behind the Twenty-Seven Needles? This is terrifying.

Lu Yao actually rushed over and hugged Bai You. Wasn’t he afraid?

How on earth could such a large prop have fallen? Were Minghui Entertainment's safety measures so sloppy?

And Lu Yao had 27 stitches, but he still performed on stage the next day? Is he crazy?

How is he good? Does he look good? You can’t judge a person by their appearance alone!!! This pairing is clearly a forced love between a domineering younger brother and a happy puppy! It seems that the happy puppy is the one taking the initiative, but in fact it is the younger brother who is confidently controlling him.

Amidst everyone's discussion, the first episode of The Fifth Epoch was released on time at 8 pm on Sunday.

Song Rui and Shen Sisi agreed to watch a show together. Now they shared the screen, connected the microphone, and turned on the show on time.

As soon as the video started playing, a dense barrage of comments emerged.

Song Rui did not turn off the barrage, but lowered its transparency and display area.

Shen Sisi glanced at the number of people online at the top of the screen and couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people."

Song Rui also took a look at the '100,000+' figure and agreed, "Indeed."

God knows she has been following the fifth generation for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen 10w+. In the past, when there were 5w+ people online at the same time for the fifth generation's own materials, it was already a lot of people.

Is this the debut variety show?

Song Rui learned something new.

After the opening credits and sponsorship advertisements, the main film begins.

Accompanied by the sound of a door opening, the picture slid across the corridor and a large room appeared in the video.

Sixteen chairs are arranged neatly.

Shen Sisi's voice rang out: "It seems like a talent show."

Song Rui felt the same way. Based on her memory of occasionally watching talent shows over the past two years, in the first episode, the trainees would first rate themselves, then choose their seats, and then perform on stage for the first time.

"I don't know what the competition system is in the Fifth Era." Song Rui got angry when she mentioned this. "They released so many trailers, but not a single piece of content."

It's all about secretly stirring up trouble among five generations of people.

What are the relationships among the five generations like? Does the program crew need to maliciously edit them?

Shen Sisi was even more furious: "This production team is really disgusting! They keep using Lu Yao to attract traffic!"

The first trailer was already disgusting, and the second trailer is even more disgusting.

Why, is Lu Yao’s blood so easy to suck?

Shen Sisi has written one rights protection announcement after another in the past two days, and Minghui Entertainment has tagged her dozens of times, but the company is like dead, with no response at all, which makes Shen Sisi very angry.

But no matter how angry I am, I still have to watch the show.

After the video showed the meticulously decorated studio, the scene changed and the trainees finally appeared.

Qiu Yuge walked out of the corridor and stood on one side of the hall. The program inserted a short introduction video of Qiu Yuge.

"My name is Qiu Yuge, I'm sixteen years old, and I've been training for five years."

Qiu Yuge joined the company and started training before the announcement, and including the four and a half years since the announcement, it has been almost five years.

In the introduction video, Qiu Yuge, wearing a uniform and having makeup done, has more vivid facial features, with slightly long bangs covering his eyebrows and eyes. As he walks towards the camera in silence, his eyes without a smile give people a strong sense of oppression.

A series of comments flashed across the screen.

"Ah ...

'Five colors one five colors one five colors one'

"Is this Qiu Yuge? So handsome? ? "

"I look like this? What the hell is this official photo shoot?"

"This is so cool."

Shen Sisi said, “Qiu Yuge seems a little fierce recently.”

Song Rui nodded: "I think so too."

He is still handsome, but the feeling of being handsome has changed.

Qiu Yuge has always been handsome and flamboyant, but he used to smile often and his temperament was gentler, which diluted the offensive feeling brought by his appearance. But recently Qiu Yuge has not been so fond of smiling, and even if he smiles, he smiles very restrainedly, so his offensive power has greatly increased.

With his hair covering his eyebrows and eyes, when he looks at people through the gap, he looks like a gloomy and beautiful boy in the second dimension who is always away from strangers.

When he looked at the camera with a stern face, he looked even more sinister.

"But the gloomy and beautiful boy is also quite special." It must be said that Song Rui actually likes him very much.

Qiu Yuge's introduction ended, and the subtitles displayed the rules for trainees to choose seats.

Qiu Yuge stood there hesitantly for a while, then walked to a chair in the second row and sat down.

Shen Sisi: "It's really the same seat selection as in the talent show, but why didn't Qiu Yuge choose the center position?"

Qiu Yuge has been very popular for a long time, so there are many clips and shots of Qiu Yuge in materials and on stage. Qiu Yuge has always been confident, and his fans have always regarded themselves as C. How could he not take the first position this time?

Song Rui thought Qiu Yuge's choice was normal: "He just looks very confident, but he's not."

The outside world has given Qiu Yuge too much attention, so Qiu Yuge forced himself to bear these eyes and grow into someone who can bear these eyes.

But Song Rui vaguely felt that if he had a choice, Qiu Yuge himself would not want to bear all this.

Before I had time to think too much, the second trainee came in, Zhu Xiangming.

The barrage of comments changed, and the screen was filled with "baby" and "good boy", densely covering Zhu Xiangming's face.

He walked into the hall with a smile on his face, and then a very cute expression of surprise appeared on his face. There was no exaggerated effect, only the cuteness of genuine feelings.

Then came Zhu Xiangming’s self-introduction video.

"My name is Zhu Xiangming. I'm sixteen years old and have been practicing for four and a half years."

According to fans' speculation, Zhu Xiangming should have joined the company on the eve of his announcement. Before that, he had been participating in various children's programs and was considered a child star with a certain fame. After he went public, everyone was surprised by his choice, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem that surprising.

If you want to enter the entertainment industry from a young age, the training system is a good choice in China.

After the introduction, Zhu Xiangming began to choose a seat. After a slight hesitation, he sat next to Qiu Yuge.

A post-event interview is inserted here, asking him about his considerations behind choosing his seat.

Zhu Xiangming replied: "I didn't think too much about it. I just feel more comfortable if there's someone next to me."

A very Zhu Xiangming-style answer.

I am afraid of embarrassment, I hate dull occasions, and I hate being alone.

The third trainee enters the frame, and Aoko Makoto walks into the camera.

It's not Qiu Yuge's aggressive handsomeness, nor Zhu Xiangming's friendly and lovely manner, but a natural sense of coolness.

With his hands in his pockets and not looking at the camera, when he stopped and looked at the chair, his body tilted 45 degrees, his determination to take the picture was written from every angle.

He pondered and thought about a boy band he had watched before: "Do you remember that one, the one coming down the stairs? Does Cangzi really look like that one?"

Song Rui immediately remembered: "I remember it!"

A while ago, a video clip went viral. It showed a boy band walking down the stairs, twisting their legs with each step and stopping after each twist, looking extremely artificial.

When watching the video, everyone didn't understand what they were doing and just thought they were crazy, but when fans posted pictures taken by the fan club in the comment section, everyone immediately understood.

For the sake of drawing!

Apart from anything else, the pictures that came out of going downstairs in such a weird manner are really good-looking.

The current Cang Zizhen is similar to the one in the video.

Ana Shen couldn’t help laughing: “He didn’t watch that video too, did he?”

Song Rui: "I think it's very likely."

That's great, he's willing to put in the effort for his fans.

It's a good bean.

Although pretentious, he is handsome.

very good.

After the introduction video ended, Cang Zizhen chose a seat and sat next to Qiu Yuge.

Song Rui: "Why don't they sit in the first seat?"

They didn’t seem to be so self-conscious about standing behind before.

Before Shen Sisi could say anything, the scene changed and Lu Yao appeared in the camera.

"Ah! Lu Yao!" She immediately became excited. "The order of appearance is the ranking from the last assessment!"

Lu Yao was fourth, and she remembered this ranking clearly.

Song Rui also reacted.

Shen Sisi: "So cute..."

Lu Yao walked closer and the picture showed Lu Yao's whole body.

She is wearing yellow overalls and carrying a stuffed toy on her back. She is so cute.

Shen Sisi suddenly asked, "Has Xiaolu grown taller?"

Lu Yao walked to the end of the corridor and stopped as well.

The same picture, the same posture, Shen Sisi saw Lu Yao's head at a glance and stopped at the icon of the Fifth Age.

"When Cang Zizhen stopped just now, his head was on the line below." Shen Sisi paused the video, moved the mouse, stopped the cursor on a line, and then said: "Lu Yao is here now." She moved the mouse downwards and drew a straight line extending from the top of Lu Yao's head.

Song Rui carefully identified it and said, "It seems so... How tall is Cangzi really?"

Shen Sisi was not sure: "1.8 meters?"

Song Rui: "He should have grown a little taller now, right?"

Shen Sisi said: "It should be longer, then the path will be longer, right?"

Shen Sisi's tone was very excited. No fan would be unhappy to see the child grow taller.

Song Rui also asked: "How tall is Xiaolu now? When he first went public, he was about 1.7 meters tall. Now he is so much taller than Cangzi. Is he 5 centimeters? 6 centimeters?"

The two guessed Lu Yao's height for a long time based on the paused footage, and finally agreed that Lu Yao should be about 1.75 meters tall. After reaching the conclusion, they started playing the video again.

The program continues with Lu Yao’s introduction video.

"My name is Lu Yao, I'm fourteen years old, and I've been practicing for five months."

Shen Sisi couldn't help but admire.

Compared with the previous four to five years, Lu Yao's five months seemed so out of place, but they also highlighted Lu Yao's strength and hard work.

In just five months, I caught up with the results of four or five years of practice for others...

Who can not love Lu Yao like this?

After the introduction video ended, Lu Yao began to choose his seat.

"I don't know where Lu Yao will choose. He always sits in the corner in the materials section. I'm really fed up with him. I'll choose it myself this time..." Shen Sisi had only said half of her words when she saw Lu Yao walk straight onto the platform without hesitation, completely ignoring Cang Zizhen's invitation.

Sat in the only seat.

"Wow!" She was instantly excited, "Xiaolu took the first place!"

"Is he telling us he's going to take first place?"

Inside and outside the camera, there are two completely different worlds.

Whatever an artist says or does in front of the camera, no matter what he thinks at the time, once it is broadcast, his thoughts will no longer matter.

People will interpret the broadcast clips in their own way and add their own expectations.

At this moment, Lu Yao sat in the first position. No matter what he was thinking when he sat down, Shen Sisi could only see that first position.

She was inspired.

"Lu Yao should be number one!"

Song Rui: “…”

Song Rui didn't know how to respond.

She chose to remain silent.

Fortunately, Lu Yao's segment ended quickly. Wu Hai walked in, introduced the short film, and chose seats. One by one, the trainees came out and introduced themselves. After they chose their seats in turn, the curtain fell and NGU came out.

A series of question marks flashed across the barrage, and no one expected to see NGU here.

Song Rui: "The third generation is here too? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

The third generation is so popular, and when they came to record their junior brother’s show, they didn’t even see any revelations on the Internet, nor did they see any fans defending their rights?

This is unscientific.

Don’t the third generation fans know NGU’s schedule well and can’t stand other companies riding on the third generation’s popularity?

Shen Sisi also found it strange, "They are so busy, how can they still have time to record the show? Wow... Thank you so much, senior brother."

Although it was a bit strange, neither of them cared. After all, the arrival of the third generation was a huge loss.

It can be seen with the naked eye and can bring a lot of heat.

Before the two of them finished speaking, they saw a series of curses in the barrage. It was obvious that the third-generation fans who came to watch the fifth-generation variety show suddenly saw the real person and started to get angry.

The two of them silently ignored the barrage of comments that filled the screen. There was nothing they could do, the show had already been recorded, the blood had already been sucked, and the third-generation fans could curse as much as they wanted, but it wouldn't change anything.

With a good attitude, the two continued watching.
