Chapter 28 I hope I won’t be in the same group with Jiang Huai this time.
Wallpaper? What wallpaper?
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, unable to react to what his heart was beating.
The system reminded: [You set it when you first created the Chu Yuanqing account, have you forgotten? ]
Jiang Huai realized it belatedly and then remembered: [That one. ]
When he first created the account Chu Yuanqing, he disliked the ugly wallpaper on his phone, so he randomly picked a photo from his album and sent it over to replace it.
Jiang Huai locked the screen and returned to the desktop. The wallpaper was a picture of his back, with only a hint of his profile visible. It was taken by Zhou Chengwen during training before entering the draft camp.
He chose this one because he thought there was no difference between this photo and the one on the Internet, and it was basically impossible to recognize who it was.
...Fans can actually recognize this?
He checked the photo and found that the little bit of his face that was revealed made him look handsome, so he sent it to the other party after confirming that there was no problem.
【Chu: [Picture]】
【Heartbeat: !!! 】
【Heartbeat: Thank you bro!!! Anything else!!!】
Yes, it was available, but it was on Jiang Huai’s phone that was taken away by the program crew, so Chu Yuanqing didn’t have any in stock.
If he had known that the production crew would cut out his and Chu Yuanqing's storyline, he should have taken more unreleased photos before entering the camp. It's just right to release them now to stir up some heat and give fans some material to look at, Jiang Huai thought in annoyance.
But if he told the other party directly that he had no right now, it would seem that the relationship between him and Chu Yuanqing was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
How could Jiang Huai think of Chu Yuanqing when he was calling relatives on the show, but there was only a photo of Jiang Huai in Chu Yuanqing's phone?
[Chu: I don’t want to post the others, I’ll keep them for myself.]
【Heartbeat: ……】
【Heartbeat: OK, thank you brother. 】
【Heartbeat: By the way, do you mind becoming the protagonist of a fan fiction? 】
[Heartbeat: I am a fan of Jiang Huai, the kind of fan who likes to pair up all kinds of couples. ]
[Heartbeat: The dozen or so fanfictions I've written so far are pretty good, and have attracted some fans. Of course, I don't mean to force you, so forget it if you don't want to.]
Jiang Huai: ...Damn it! I still really want to know whether she is a top fuwei or a bottom fuwei!
But Chu Yuanqing was not the kind of person who would ask such a question. He suppressed his curiosity and replied.
[Chu: If it's good for him, you can do whatever you want.]
【Heartbeat: OK! Thank you! 】
My heart was beating as I looked at the word interface. After the childhood sweethearts reunited, I added a note: the conflict between selfish possessiveness and the nature of the idol's profession.
Taking advantage of the burst of inspiration, she tapped away at the keyboard and wrote an 800-word outline in half an hour. She admired her own words and chuckled twice before continuing typing.
Jiang Huai opened Chu Yuanqing’s Weibo.
His fan club has always been open and transparent. An announcement will be made about the internal quota for each offline event. Combined with the few words from the show, this information is enough for fans to accurately locate which fan club Chu Yuanqing belongs to.
Under the Goodbye Spring Equinox account, the comments section of the last fan photo posted has changed from praising Jiang Huai for being handsome, having strong plasticity, being able to fit in any style perfectly, and having good aesthetic taste in editing photos, to...
@江淮的狗: How come my comrades called the real owner behind my back? ! Why am I not the neighbor’s sister next door? ? ?
[Reply] It’s okay, you’ve also been a dog behind my back.
@心动为淮: No wonder the station is called Goodbye Spring Equinox… Xiao Huai’s birthday happened to be the Spring Equinox. We grew up together and then separated. We met again not long ago, so it’s called Goodbye Spring Equinox…
[Reply] Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.
[Reply] Why do I feel that Chunfen has a weird aura of a queen when you put it like that... I'm really angry! I need Jiang Huai to coax me personally to be fine!
@奶油cookie好吃: Brother, do you have any old photos of Jiang Huai for us to see? What was Jiang Huai like when he was a child? Can you share more? I really want to know what kind of person he is in real life.
He liked this post and pinned it to the top of the comment section.
[Reply] @Goodbye Spring Equinox_Jianghuai0320: [Picture] Let’s take a look at a recent photo. I won’t say much about the rest. He will definitely want to tell you about it himself if he has the chance.
Jiang Huai switched to the small account that had previously posted the amazing picture of Huai Lan, and looked at the Huai Lan CP fans who seemed to be a little broken in the program barrage.
The Huailan Super Topic is peaceful and quiet, with most people concentrating on consuming the sweets in this episode and eating fan fiction, and only a few seem to be broken-hearted.
There is only one post discussing Chu Yuanqing in the latest releases.
The poster said that he felt so uncomfortable after watching this episode because of the mockery from the comments, and he couldn't find the pure joy he had before when shipping the couple.
Fellow commentators gently advised her, first suggesting that she block the barrage, and then reassured her that the neighbor brother was just a family member, and that it was good for Xiao Huai to have such an elder who cared about him.
Someone quickly found a set of Q-version comics about the wedding of Jiang Huai and Yu Lan.
Chu Yuanqing served as both the wedding emcee and the photographer. While he was reciting the blessing, he took out his camera to record the important moment of their marriage.
...What a classic way to defeat your opponent, decent and effective.
It seems that the noise is a bit fierce because someone is fishing in the barrage, and the silent majority has basically no dissatisfaction.
After all, Chu Yuanqing was just an amateur, and he actually knew the real owner. Even if he was unhappy, he would just secretly step on him twice, and there would not be a serious quarrel.
As long as everyone is still his wings, that's all. Jiang Huai turned off his phone with peace of mind, and his consciousness returned to his body.
The 32 trainees who were eliminated in this round have already left, and the base is much emptier. Perhaps it is because many people have just said goodbye to their friends and have not yet recovered from their heavy hearts. The entire dormitory area is much quieter than usual.
Jiang Huai took off his makeup and took a shower, then stared at himself in the bathroom mirror for a while.
The recording of the first round of voting results has been completed, but it will not be officially broadcast until next week on August 2nd. The second round of voting will also start at that time.
This week, fans no longer have to worry about voting, and their wallets can also rest and relax.
Commonly known as the growing period of leek.
According to the rules, this round of voting will be counted as 30% in the next round, and the vote gap between candidates in adjacent positions is almost equalized, which is not much different from starting over.
The more Jiang Huai thought about it, the more he felt that it was not right for everyone to call for all-in open-book exams in the first round. There must be fans behind the scenes manipulating public opinion in this regard in order to make more money.
However, the production team is quite attentive in making peripherals, at least they don't sell the same peripherals from beginning to end, forcing fans to bite the bullet and buy multiple copies for voting rights. The peripherals are also quite rich, with small card stand cards and PB.
The official website updated the link of new peripherals the day before yesterday, which is the design of the first public. This time, there are also some small commodities such as 925 silver bracelets.
The wholesale price is ten yuan, and it is sold for thirty-eight with the contestant's name abbreviation. The cost-effectiveness is not high but it is barely acceptable. It also comes with three voting rights. Jiang Huai estimates that the program team's income will reach a new high.
Alas! Evil capitalists!
Saturday, July 27th.
An unfamiliar small room was set up in the familiar studio, and Jiang Huai finally had a sense of reality that he was about to start practicing for the second performance.
PD He Chen announced the rules this time: "This round of performances is for position evaluation, and is divided into three positions, vocal, dance, and rap. Each position has 4 songs. The vocal group needs to re-arrange the music, the dance group needs to re-choreograph, and the rap group needs to write their own lyrics."
"The trainee who receives the most votes for each song will receive 10,000 additional votes, and the trainee who receives the most votes for each position will receive an additional 30,000 additional votes."
In other words, the person with the most votes for each position has a total of 40,000 additional votes... It seems that he can't sing a duet with Yu Lan.
Having two highly popular contestants in the same group is bound to split the votes severely, not to mention that they are a couple. There is no need to purify them now. If Yu Lan can make her debut, they will continue to sell her later.
It would be a pity to just give up the free tickets, considering that the 66th place in the last round only had more than 40,000 votes in total.
The previously conceived plan of the same group selling homosexuality was declared bankrupt, and Jiang Huai sighed in his heart.
"When you enter the room, you will see twelve cards on the table corresponding to different songs. Please take the card you choose to enter the post-selection area and line up in front of the song you choose."
"It's important to note that you can't know what songs the previous trainees chose, so you can't be in the same group with the trainees you want to be in, and it's also difficult to avoid opponents."
Sheng Mingzhi said to Jiang Huai through Si Xi: "I really don't want to be in the same group with you this time."
Jiang Huai retorted: "I'll choose the songs first. If you're still in the same group, it's your fault, not mine."
He Chen noticed the movement here and smiled: "Our fourth place seems to have something to say, come and share it with everyone."
…It feels like being caught by the teacher while secretly passing a note in class.
Jiang Huai stood up straighter stiffly, and Sheng Mingzhi took the microphone awkwardly: "I hope I won't be in the same group with Jiang Huai this time."
He recalled: "When we were competing for the C position in the theme song, I said that I didn't want to be in the same group with Jiang Huai in the first public performance; during the first public performance, I told him again not to choose me, but he told me to stop being so self-indulgent and brought me into "Confess Loudly".
All the trainees laughed along with He Chen. Sheng Mingzhi finally prayed, "Anyway, I really hope we don't have to be in the same group again this time."
He Chen took back the microphone: "I wish you good luck. Then please invite the first place winner of the last round of voting, Jiang Huai, to enter the selection area first."
Jiang Huai stood at the table to make his choice. The ideal situation would be for him and Yu Lan to each get a full position of additional votes, but this was a bit difficult.
Yu Lan’s dancing skills have not yet improved to the point where she can compete on the same stage with those top performers without losing out. To be conservative this time, it is best for her to continue with the vocal route.
Then he himself should avoid vocal.
Rap... no need. Rap singers are not very popular in the show.
For idols participating in talent shows, creative ability is a plus, not a necessity.
Jiang Huai finally chose the dance group's "Kill Me". This song has a fast drum beat and a lot of room for choreography. He picked up the card on the table and walked to the post-selection area to wait for the next person.
Not long after, Si Xi also came in with a card, and the first thing he asked was: "What did you choose?"
Jiang Huai showed it to him: "Please look."
Prince Si paused for a second and turned the card in his hand over: "...What a coincidence."
On the card, the six letters "Kill Me" are clearly visible.
The two looked at each other. Jiang Huai: "...Haha, what a coincidence."
Yu Lan chose "Spring Breeze". The four songs in the vocal group were pretty much the same, two of them were more lyrical, and the other two were more intense.
He made this choice purely because he had just read the name of Chu Yuanqing's website yesterday, and it suddenly occurred to him that he had never sold birthdays to Yu Lan before.
When the program crew re-filmed the song selection process afterwards, Yu Lan could say that because Jiang Huai was born on the vernal equinox, she felt a sense of fate when she saw the song Spring Breeze.
What a perfect and natural sale!
Next one, fourth place, Sheng Mingzhi.
Yu Lan selected the songs very quickly. In comparison, Sheng Mingzhi took much longer, as if ten thousand years had passed.
Jiang Huai: “He must be thinking about which song we will choose.”
Si Xi: "... Actually, I was thinking about which song you would choose. I guess you should choose between vocal and dance. I wanted to choose "Vampire" from the dance group, but I hesitated between the two songs. I felt that you haven't performed a gorgeous style before, so I came up with "Kill Me". As a result, alas."
Jiang Huai: “Vampire is really my second choice, but I still prefer the style of Kill Me.”
Si Xi: “…Alas!”
Sheng Mingzhi finally arrived late. He stopped at the door of the post-election room but did not come in. He asked very vigilantly, "What did you choose?"
They both said in unison: "Kill Me."
Sheng Mingzhi's expression changed drastically, and he tried to return to the selection area and pretend that he was still struggling, but was detained by the ruthless program staff and taken to the "Kill Me" queue.
Now the three of them looked at each other.
Jiang Huai asked sincerely: "What do you think? Don't you think the two of us will choose this song?"
Sheng Mingzhi was so heartbroken that he sat on the ground: "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I think you will probably go for vocal this round, and Si Xi should like "Vampire" more. What's going on between you two?"
...In fact, Sheng Mingzhi's judgment is completely correct.
If he hadn't been worried about splitting votes with Yu Lan, he would have originally planned to go for vocal this round, and Si Xi did prefer "Vampire".
After all the calculations, I ended up including myself in the calculations. The result of not splitting the votes with Yu Lan is that I have to split the votes with these two... It would be better to just split the votes with Yu Lan.
Jiang Huai sighed heavily: "Look at the bright side, at least we can make the dance more difficult."
