Chapter 37 Meeting

The group finally hurried to the auditorium, and by then the other contestants had almost arrived.

There were still many empty seats in the front, so Xie Qingyu and Leo sat down near the front, while Bai Lang and Gu Qiong sat behind them.

Wei Liangchen, Ding Zai and Wei Ran arrived last, and they sat down in a corner, panting.

All the contestants have arrived, and the auditorium is filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.

Everyone's heart is filled with complex emotions - tension, anticipation, uneasiness, anxiety, excitement, as if they are all intertwined in a tangled mess.

When Qu Qinghuan walked onto the stage as usual, everyone's eyes were fixed on the script in her hand.

Qu Qinghuan looked at the tense faces in the audience and smiled with a hint of self-mockery: "It seems that everyone doesn't welcome me very much. They are so cold. Then I'll leave?" As he said this, he made a gesture to walk off the stage.

"Teacher Qu, don't leave!!"

At least leave the results.

Some quick-eyed and quick-handed contestants anxiously made the "Erkang Hand" gesture on the stage...

The other contestants also reacted.

"No! You're most welcome!"

"Teacher Qu is so beautiful today!!!"

"The most beautiful woman in the world!!!"

Then, there was warm applause and cheers in the auditorium.

Qu Qinghuan stopped teasing them and directly announced today's arrangements.

"Today's program is - an impromptu meeting!"

The contestants looked at each other, not quite understanding what this process meant.

What meetup? Who? Where?

Aren't the rankings announced anymore?

This... everyone has packed their luggage, so this is no joke!

Qu Qinghuan then gave a detailed explanation of the format and venue arrangements for the meeting.

“This fan meeting will be conducted in groups, with 5 to 6 participants randomly assigned to each group by the production team.

The groups will be scattered across different areas of Yun City, including bustling commercial centers, community squares full of life, and scenic parks.

The event is limited to three hours, during which each group can flexibly organize interactions with fans based on the actual conditions of the venue to enhance mutual understanding and friendship."

Upon hearing this arrangement, the contestants exclaimed in surprise.

Obviously, I didn't expect the program team to be at this time——

Yishun organizes fan meetings before release.

"What the heck is going on here?! I'm about to be eliminated, am I supposed to cry with my fans and say goodbye to 'Road to Stardom'? I'm speechless."

Some contestants sat in the corner and complained quietly to the contestants next to them.

"Who knows what's going on all of a sudden!"

"But it would be nice to meet the fans before leaving."

"Yeah! Those who stayed are more determined, and those who left have no regrets!!"

"What kind of parting words are you talking about now? I'm really impressed by you!"

Xie Qingyu has almost figured out the routine of the "Road to Star Dreams" production team.

That is, they will pay more attention to the online trends than other auditions. Once there is a big movement online, the recording process will be changed randomly immediately, which is very flexible and responsive.

After the first episode of the show was broadcast, flash mobs and spin-off programs were temporarily added, and this time a temporary meeting was arranged after the first public performance.

He speculated that the response to the first public performance recording last night on the Internet was very good.

This impromptu meeting was arranged based on the enthusiastic response on the Internet last night.

The program team obviously wants to take advantage of the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, increase exposure and popularity, and consolidate the fan stickiness of the program.

By the way, let’s take advantage of the last wave of contestants before the first wave of eliminations!

Anyway, Xie Qingyu didn't believe that this was an activity that the program team could have planned early.

Just by hearing the two qualifiers "temporary" and "random", you can tell how hasty this planning was.

"Brother, how did the production team randomly assign the members? Can't we form our own team?"

Leo was somewhat dissatisfied with the random assignment mentioned by the program team.

Why is it random again!

He was not able to become a member of the same group as his brother in the random drawing of people and songs, and he did not record a single episode with his brother in the second spin-off program which was randomly filmed.

The most important thing is that his brother's teammates in the first performance and the people who filmed the spin-off program with him are all Bai Lang!

He hates randomness!!!

Xie Qingyu thought about it and decided that if he formed a team, he should be with people he was familiar with.

It is very likely that one group will be very popular, while the other group will be relatively unpopular. This would not look good for the program crew, so it is possible that they will choose to even out the popularity.

Of course, he definitely couldn't say this directly to Leo. Xie Qingyu organized his words and was about to explain to him.

Gu Zheng suddenly leaned forward and rested his elbow on the back of Leo's chair.

He held his chin with his palm and asked, "If you were to choose, which group would you choose?"

Leo looked at him as if he was asking nonsense, and said as a matter of course: "Who else but my brother?"

"Besides your brother, there are 5-6 people in a group." Gu Qi continued to ask.

Besides what his brother said… Leo frowned and started to think seriously.

He knew too few people. Every day he went back and forth between the training room, the cafeteria, and the dormitory. He didn't get enough sleep, and everyone was very busy, so he didn't know many people.

I am only familiar with You Jinzhao in the dormitory, and I can’t even remember the names of the other contestants.

"Then... Ding is here?" Leo said tentatively.

Gu Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and broke off two fingers, indicating to continue.

He searched quickly in his mind and added You Jinzhao.

"There are still two people left~" Gu Qiong reminded.

There was no way out, so Leo reluctantly added Gu Qie in.

Gu Yu looked at him with a teachable look, obviously satisfied with his "selection".

Xie Qingyu looked at him struggling and rubbing the back of his neck. It was so funny that she couldn't help but raise her hand to rub the ahoge on his head.

Leo was so focused at this point that he couldn't pay attention to his brother's actions, his brain was working at high speed.

If there's one left...

Choose other members of "The Passionate Road"?

No, no! They're all pretty close, so it would be awkward to pick one of the other four, right?

His eyes kept searching the auditorium rapidly.

Did he sweep over to see Wei Liangchen arguing with Ding Zai in the corner again?

No, no, this person is too noisy!

Then looked at Wei Ran beside them?

No, there was no communication at all!!

So who are the players who were in Class A together? Who is left?

Leo racked his brains, but completely ignored Bai Lang who was right in front of him. He had already marked this annoying person with a hundred big crosses in his mind!!!

Gu Qi and Xie Qingyu sat beside him and watched him tossing and turning, thinking hard.

Finally, Leo's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he shouted out Qian Song's name, indicating that he was the last choice!

Qian Song, who was nearby, looked over bewilderedly when he heard his name...

Xie Qingyu raised her hand to signal him that everything was fine, and he turned back to chat with his roommate.

Looking at Leo's expression that said, "I finally chose the one," Gu Yan gently tapped his head.

He laughed and scolded, "You've practically put the favorites in your basket yourself, so how are the other groups going to compete with the heat, huh?"

Leo touched the spot where he had hit him and pushed his hand away from the back of his chair.

He put on a look of despair and said dejectedly, "So if the production team says 'randomly', will they separate us all?"

After he pushed his hand away, Gu Qie agreed with his conclusion and nodded.

"Bingo—very likely~"

Qu Qinghuan watched as the contestants almost digested the news, and continued to cue the process on stage.

"Next, the staff will read out the names of the contestants in turn.

When you hear your name being called, please pay attention to the staff's instructions and raise your hand immediately to ensure that the staff can notice it.

Afterwards, please take your personal belongings with you, maintain order, and follow the staff to the designated exit location.

During the meet-and-greet, please follow the guidance and arrangements of the staff and do not leave the group or stop midway without permission to ensure the smooth progress of the event."

"I understand, Teacher Qu, don't worry!"

"Okay, Teacher Qu, got it!"

Qu Qinghuan watched from the stage as the staff began to enter the auditorium. She could finally retire, having accomplished her mission. She still had a ton of schedules waiting for her to run! Ugh, this is tough!

Leo stared closely at every staff member who came by, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Although he knew that he would most likely not be able to go to the meet-and-greet with Xie Qingyu, he still held a glimmer of hope and expectation in his heart.

Almost all the other contestants in their area had their names called out.

Soon, Bai Lang was also called away by a male staff member.

When Leo saw this scene, he immediately became happy.

As long as the annoying Bai Lang is not in the same group with his brother, it doesn’t seem that sad even if they can’t be in the same group!

However, what happened next might have disappointed him greatly. Xie Qingyu was called away by another staff member, and he was led to another car.

Before leaving, Leo waved goodbye to Xie Qingyu eagerly, his face full of reluctance...

Xie Qingyu followed the staff to a black business car. After getting in, he saw Bai Lang sitting in the back row... and the only two empty seats next to him.

Xie Qingyu was so embarrassed that it was hard not to imagine that the program crew did it on purpose!

Q: How would you feel if you were forced to be in the same space with someone you are currently avoiding, and you might not be able to separate for the next few hours?

So, this is what the program team calls 'random assignment'! !

As expected, we still can't have too high expectations for their moral integrity. They really want to grab the popularity of everything and are not afraid of tripping over their own heels.

There must be no hesitation at this time, otherwise both parties will be embarrassed.

After Xie Qingyu got in the car, he nodded to Bai Yan as a greeting.

Then I had no choice but to sit next to him.

Wei Liangchen is right! The production team really did a lot of harm to people!!!

Either they are thinking about how to cause trouble, or they are already on the way to cause trouble.

I'm so tired that I want to die...
