Chapter 142 Group Countdown 3.0

With all members' goals highly unified, the training progress of the "Deep Sea" group even exceeded Xie Qingyu's expectations, and everyone maintained an amazing level of self-awareness.

"Take a two-minute break," Qian Song's voice chimed in. As the team captain, he kept a close eye on each player's condition, ready to make adjustments at any moment.

Xie Qingyu walked to the wall and sat down, and a little tail immediately followed behind him - Leo naturally sat down next to him.

Now the environment of a team training room makes this kid feel more justified in being clingy.

Seeing Qian Song confirming that all the team members had stopped training before walking to the corner to rest alone, Xie Qingyu smiled.

When Qian Song was nominated as the captain, taking on only a small part of the responsibility was the main reason. The main purpose was to make Qian Song 'forced' to pay attention to everyone's physical condition as the captain, and to allow him to rest more.

After all, as a role model, the captain can't just work hard on his own practice and let the team members sit and rest and watch, right?

Xie Qingyu unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qian Song rubbing his aching knee with his head down.

This stubborn guy who always silently persevered and pushed forward can now finally take care of himself more legitimately.

"Brother, it seems like there's a staff member at the door waving at you." Leo was playing with a water bottle out of boredom when he accidentally saw the staff member at the gap at the door.

We are recording now, so it would be inappropriate for the other party to speak or appear on camera.

Suddenly he remembered that after they came back from dinner yesterday, Xie Qingyu went to find the staff alone, so now Leo also guessed that the staff at the door should be looking for his brother.

Hearing Leo's low-voiced reminder, Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice and recognized that it was the staff member he had contacted yesterday.

He immediately put down the water bottle and gestured to Qian Song to go out.

After the other party nodded to indicate that he understood, he stood up and walked towards the door. During team training, any departure from the venue must be reported in advance. This is basic respect for the collective. Moreover, he was not sure how long he would be away, so he should explain it clearly.

As soon as Xie Qingyu walked to the door, the staff handed him a document. At the top was the standard leave application form of the original owner's school, Xingcheng No. 2 Middle School. The familiar school emblem was printed in the upper right corner and his own information was in the student name column. The program team had already helped him fill it out.

The few pages of A4 paper pinned at the back are relevant supporting materials.

While Xie Qingyu was checking, the staff member lowered his voice and explained to him, "We have contacted your homeroom teacher, Ms. Wei. She said that if you can't be there in person, she can approve a few days of leave.

However, if you need to adjust your academic schedule later, you still need to go to the school in person to handle it."

After Xie Qingyu reported this situation yesterday, the program team did not dare to delay at all.

After all, school is about to start. If it is not handled properly and some people hype it up as #The Road to Stars program team is obstructing contestants from studying#, there will be no way to defend it.

Fortunately, Teacher Wei has always taken good care of this "special" student. After learning about the situation, he immediately coordinated with the school and issued a leave note.

And because Xie Qingyu is already sixteen years old, although he is still a minor, according to the law, he is regarded as a person with full civil capacity if he has no guardian and relies on his own labor income as his main source of livelihood.

Therefore, Xie Qingyu's signature is legally binding, and this leave application only needs to be confirmed by him.

As for the "follow-up arrangements" mentioned by the staff, they actually refer to the coordination issues after the group is formed.

If Xie Qingyu eventually debuts, balancing group activities and studies will become even more complicated.

It would be much easier to coordinate if an agency intervened at that time - of course, this is not something the program team can do on their behalf.

However, they still kindly helped to consult about the relevant procedures. After all, Xie Qingyu's development is closely related to the interests of the platform.

It never hurts to ask one more question, just as a precaution.

Xie Qingyu carefully reviewed the document in his hand, his fingertips gently stroking the edge of the paper.

After years of working in the entertainment industry, he has developed a cautious attitude towards signing documents - it is better to spend more time now than get involved in unclear disputes in the future.

After confirming that the leave application and supporting documents were correct, he signed his name neatly and handed the documents back with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work." He bowed slightly, his tone sincere.

The efficiency with which the program team handled this matter was indeed unexpected, and every aspect was considered extremely thoughtfully.

After checking the signatures, the staff member added, "The program team has already paid the tuition. The director said the amount is not large, so just consider it..."

Before he could finish his words, Xie Qingyu interrupted him with a smile and shook his head: "It's due." The sunlight shone through the windows in the corridor onto his straight back, giving the boy's thin figure a misty golden edge.

Of course, he knew the unspoken subtext of the staff. With his popularity, no one would have thought that he was struggling to even afford this tuition fee.

But some principles cannot be broken, especially when it comes to something as fundamental as academic studies.

The program crew treats him kindly now, but there is no eternal honeymoon period in the circle.

Those seemingly insignificant favors often become the most difficult bargaining chips when there are conflicts of interest.

With the academic problems properly resolved, Xie Qingyu's burden can be said to have been lifted by more than half.

After all, he was in control of the repertoire practice at the base, but Xie Qingyu was unable to do anything about the start of school, which made him very passive and worried all the time.

When I pushed the door open and returned to the training room, my teammates had already finished resting.

Seeing him return, everyone adjusted their positions tacitly, leaving a place for him in the middle of the practice room.

Xie Qingyu quickly returned to the team and got into the mood the moment the music started. With a quick sideways turn, his eyes had already switched to the indifference and coldness required by the song.

This ability to control his emotions freely is his most outstanding feature as he is now recognized as the all-around ACE of the show both online and offline.

In the rhythm of the music, each of his movements was precisely in time with the beat, but what was even more amazing was the stage appeal that seemed to be innate.

Even in the training room, as long as he stands in the C position, the performance level of the entire team will instantly improve.

At this moment, Xie Qingyu had completely put aside his previous worries and devoted himself to the preparations for the upcoming final stage.

Because the team's overall progress was very fast and their cooperation was very good, they had one day longer than expected to practice their debut track and individual tracks, which made everyone feel relieved.

It's not just them. The "Crack" group next door is also making rapid progress, but the program team's planning seems to have a different way of thinking from normal people. After they finally squeeze out some time, they can also find a way to cheer them up.

At dawn the next day, twenty contestants were pulled out of the base to record the finale special of "Dream Dance GOGOGO".

This spin-off program has captured a large number of viewers since its launch, and many people even follow it as an independent variety show.

It is said to be particularly suitable as a side dish and can be regarded as the best among "electronic pickled mustard greens".

When the spin-off program was first launched, all the contestants were eager to try it out, but after experiencing one recording session, they were all disillusioned and tried to avoid it in the later period.

Including this time, Xie Qingyu has only participated three times. The experiences of the first two times were not pleasant at all. The audience in the camera laughed out loud, but the contestants on the scene complained bitterly.

I seriously suspect that the planning teacher behind the spin-off program came from a prank variety show.

The morning light shone through the car window, casting mottled shadows on Xie Qingyu's face. He sighed softly and looked at the gradually brightening skyline in the distance.

The production team is indeed well versed in variety shows, and they squeezed out the "entertainment value" of the final wave of contestants before the group formation night.

If nothing unexpected happens, today's spin-off program will not be such a pleasant experience.

Tiny specks of morning light danced on the ends of Leo's soft hair. The boy rested his forehead on the cold back of the seat, like a droopy little animal.

He tilted his head and called out "Brother~" in a whisper, the ending tone was soft and long, with obvious resistance.

He disliked this spin-off program the most. The haunted house adventure in the first episode gave him nightmares for three days, and the last water challenge was so exhausting that he had a low-grade fever.

Although the "red dates and wolfberry healing method" circulating among the contestants is a joke, the physical and mental exhaustion after the recording is real.

Xie Qingyu's movement of turning her head brought up a breeze, and when her fingertips passed through Leo's slightly messy hair, they touched the boy's eyelashes that trembled unconsciously.

There was a drowsy atmosphere in the carriage. The contestants were either lying back or leaning back, taking off some of their disguises in corners that were out of reach of the camera. To be honest, no one was in a very high spirits.

The sleepiness at five in the morning and the lack of interest in the recording of the spin-off program intertwined into a silence, with only the buzzing sound of the car's air conditioner filling the gap.

Xie Qingyu's thumb gently rubbed the red corners of Leo's eyes, where there was still a lingering trace of the grievance he felt when he was suddenly woken up by the production crew.

Arriving at the destination for filming today's spin-off program, the staff led them to an open area and then got in the car and left, leaving only the cameraman and twenty somewhat bewildered contestants standing there in a daze.

And the player was sleepy, wearing baggy training clothes and had messy hair.

But there are still a few exceptions. At this moment, Leo was very glad that his brother had just helped him to trim his hair in the car, otherwise he would be a messy dog ​​like everyone else.

As the chilly morning breeze blew by, many contestants shivered and rubbed their arms.

Xie Qingyu looked around at everyone and saw only a scene of misery and desolation. Everyone looked like they had a miserable life.

Everyone was speechless at the moment. So the production team just left them here and ignored them, right? They just left them there without any instructions about the mission?

Don’t you think it’s too hasty?!
