Xie Qingyu was originally the leader of the top idol boy group NOVA-X, but on his way to the final stop of a global tour with his members, he was involved in a multi-car pile-up on an elevated high...
Chapter 122 The Third Performance 9.0
No matter how "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Clear Skies" was performed, or what episodes happened in between, the chapter was turned over at this moment as the broadcast screen went dark.
Xie Qingyu stared intently at the dimming screen, waiting for the next stage to begin.
The sporadic whispers in the waiting room gradually died down, and the contestants all fell silent at the same time to show their respect and anticipation for the upcoming stage.
On the screen, the stage fell into deep darkness, with only the giant insect specimen box hanging high in the air emitting an eerie glow under the dark red overhead light.
The unique rustling noise of vinyl records came from all directions, accompanied by the discordant scales played by the muffled guitar, weaving an invisible web in the air.
"Hush...Listen to the first sound of the cocoon breaking..."
Sun Lele's face emerged in the interweaving of light and dark. He lightly touched his lips with his index finger, and his out-of-focus eyes were filled with inorganic whispers.
In the waiting room, Xie Qingyu curved his eyes in admiration. Since the second public performance "Resurrection", Sun Lele seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and his perception and control of stage emotions have improved by leaps and bounds.
“Click——”
Before Sun Lele's whisper faded, the glass of the specimen box suddenly shattered with a special effect sound, and countless crystal fragments froze in the air.
The other four team members were like puppets being manipulated, "thawing" out of the broken glass with a slightly delayed mechanical dance.
The pale light penetrated their translucent cocoon-like coats, transforming them into a group of butterflies trapped in a cocoon.
At this moment, Sun Lele had quietly changed his formation and merged into it like a drop of water into the ocean without a trace.
(The smile in the frame is too neat
Iron the shirt to smooth out all wrinkles
But the ink hidden on the cuff
Early penetration of the disciplined sideline)
The stage lights suddenly changed, and a beam of light as bright as a torch hit the back of a woman with long curly hair wearing a black leather outfit.
When the music paused, Choi Jin-yi turned her head to challenge the camera, and her angular face, known as 'AI modeling', brought a strong visual impact to everyone in front of the screen.
There was a sudden gasp from the audience.
Before everyone could react, she had already walked calmly to the side of the stage with a flamboyant electric guitar in her arms.
The moment her fingertips plucked the strings, her highly recognizable voice broke through the air with the sound of "clang".
(The teleprompter suddenly stops talking.
Noise current coming from the earphone monitor
In the bursting silence
Hear your true pitch)
At this moment, the music suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of breathing echoing in the space.
Before the audience could wonder, the lights in the entire venue suddenly lit up.
Sun Lele and his four teammates had already changed into fiery red leather jackets, and five guitars vibrated their strings simultaneously.
The "true pitch" is embodied in the explosive rock sound.
(Don't call me good
The taxidermist's specimen wakes up
Now I want you to remember
The true weight of my feathers
and the arc of an untamed voice)
When it came to the chorus, the vibration of the music pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Sun Lele and the others seemed to have their souls ignited by the music, their movements became more and more free and unrestrained, no longer bound by anything.
They plucked the strings passionately, their bodies swayed with the rhythm, and their faces showed unprecedented confident smiles.
Choi Jin-yi was not to be outdone. Her slender fingers fluttered on the strings like a butterfly, playing one dazzling guitar solo after another.
The upturned corners of her eyes resonate with the team members' vigorous vitality!
The audience seemed to be completely ignited by this passionate performance, and everyone's blood was boiling.
The ocean of glow sticks surged violently, transforming into a shimmering and brilliant galaxy.
The contestants in the waiting room were also deeply moved. Many of them couldn't help but stand up and beat the rhythm to the climax of the performance on the screen.
Xie Qingyu leaned forward, supported her elbows, and tapped her cheeks with her palms to the rhythm.
The eyelashes under the closed eyelids trembled slightly, and he was completely immersed in this rock feast.
Ji Shuran, who was standing next to him, was so touched by his adorable look that an auntie smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
The silver-white silk headband tied at his ponytail slipped off his shoulders as he moved.
You Jinzhao, who was sitting on the other side, didn't even raise his head, and reached out to catch the cold silk as if by reflex.
After carefully putting it back in place, he nodded with satisfaction - the instinctive reaction of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder is so accurate.
At this time, the stage performance was nearing its end, and the lights gradually changed into a gorgeous jungle spectrum.
The eyes of the stage performers are filled with hope and longing for the future, showing their brand new selves to the audience.
"This is me... my original appearance..."
The music gradually died down, and the six people stood in the center of the stage. Their costumes were soaked with sweat, but everyone had a happy smile on their face that came from the heart.
Thunderous applause broke out in the venue, and the audience stood up and cheered for their wonderful performance.
Sun Lele’s fans were even more excited. Amidst the screams, an exceptionally loud female voice pierced the entire venue.
"Sun Lele, you are not only an unparalleled great dancer, but also an unparalleled top-notch dancer!!!"
Sun Lele, who was posing on stage, twitched her lips slightly. Thank you for your recognition~( ̄▽ ̄~)~
The performance of "Don't Call Me Good" ended successfully, and Xie Qingyu slowly opened his eyes.
I have to admit that this song is beautifully arranged, and the performance of Sun Lele and his teammates is remarkable.
The female guest Choi Jin-i's fit with the stage style is the most natural of all the performances so far.
Her powerful performance elevated the overall stage quality to a whole new level.
As the "Don't Call Me Good" team entered the tense voting session, the members of the "Sun Surfer Soda" team, which was the opening performance, also finished the backstage interviews and returned to the waiting room one after another.
As the heroes who fired the first shot, their return naturally received cheers and enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Leo moved nimbly amid the crowd's praises, his eyes fixed precisely on Xie Qingyu who was smiling at him.
He quickly walked around to the back row, resting his chin on Xie Qingyu's shoulder like a spoiled puppy, and shook his head deliberately: "Brother, my performance on stage just now...wasn't it okay?"
Facing Leo's moist eyes full of expectation, Xie Qingyu deliberately pondered for a moment, pausing for just the right three seconds before nodding solemnly.
His slender fingers naturally combed the other person's slightly damp light golden hair: "Excellent!"
This was clearly the comment he wanted to hear the most, but Leo's face suddenly turned red, his eyes wandering as he muttered softly, "It's... just average~"
Xie Qingyu pursed her lips to suppress the smile that was about to burst out, and decided to let this shy child go for the time being.
Just when Leo wanted to continue sharing his experience on stage, he suddenly felt someone gently lift his collar and moved away.
When he came to his senses, he saw that Wei Liangchen had already occupied his "exclusive position".
She even imitated him by shaking her head and spoke to Xie Qingyu in an even more exaggerated tone: "My benefactor, what about me? How is the Lun family doing?"
Faced with the camera suddenly focusing on him, Xie Qingyu reflexively raised his hand to cover half of his face and nodded helplessly.
Leo came back to his senses and gritted his teeth in his heart. He was right before. This Wei Liangchen and that annoying Bai were from the same family!
They were all here to steal Xie Qingyu's attention, and they were even more shameless! They were even more shameless!!!
Because Xie Qingyu had reminded him many times, Leo didn't want to argue with him in the waiting room where there were so many cameras.
So he put his hand on Xie Qingyu's other shoulder and stared at Wei Liangchen angrily, without saying a word, just staring at him.
Who is Wei Liangchen? It would be strange if this could control him. He continued to talk to Xie Qingyu in the "death ray" as if no one was around.
Gu Qi, who was in the front row, suddenly turned around, raised his eyebrows slowly, and said in his unique lazy tone, "Tsk tsk, sure! This is truly the joy of having children and grandchildren around you, the joy of family life!"
"Tell me clearly, who is the son? Who is the grandson?" You Jinchao immediately responded at the right time. When it comes to principled issues concerning seniority, men are always particularly serious.
The waiting room suddenly erupted in exaggerated laughter, and some contestants even laughed so hard that they slapped their teammates' thighs.
Xie Qingyu put down the hands that were covering her face and glanced at the culprit Gu Qiong with a slightly murderous look. The other party knew when to stop and turned away wisely.
Amidst the joyful laughter, Xie Qingyu calmly pushed away the two restless dog heads on his shoulders.
He sat upright with his back straight, staring intently at the broadcast screen. At this moment, the mentor voting session was about to begin, and he exuded a calm aura of "everyone else is drunk but I am sober".
Jiang Kecheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked thoughtfully at Lan Xi who came in later.
Here it comes, here it comes again!
Sure enough, the other party looked at Xie Qingyu with those familiar sparkling eyes again.
Really...really...you don't know how to restrain yourself!!!
Until Lan Xi followed the members of the "Sun Surfer Soda" team back to their respective positions.
She withdrew her gaze and inadvertently saw that the cold-faced man next to her was also looking over there.
Jiang Kecheng glanced at him and shook his head in his heart with disappointment. If you want to come over and play together, just go ahead. We are all kids, so why shouldn’t I play with you?
Just watching from the side! I don't know what's going on! It's really frustrating.
After this little episode in the waiting room, the voting for the mentors on the stage also came to an end.
Vocal instructor Li Zhiqiu, dance instructor Su Jin and creative instructor Lu Chuan all chose to retain their votes.
Only Rap mentor MCray hesitated for a moment and finally cast his 300 votes for Sun Lele.
At this point, the competition is only halfway through, and the number of votes remaining in the mentors' hands has dropped sharply to 900 votes. The competition is bound to be more intense.
As the members of the "Don't Call Me Good" group bowed and left the stage, the fourth stage of this San Gong performance, "Wild Knight", was about to begin.
The center of this group is Qian Song. In addition, Ding Zai, who has a very good relationship with Xie Qingyu, is also in this group.
As a halftime performance that connects the previous and next performances, I wonder what kind of visual impact this stage full of wild tension will bring to the audience?
How will it affect the subsequent vote count?
