Before the trainees officially went on stage to perform, the program team played a VCR of this group as usual.
The selection of each group in the previous episode has been broadcast live and edited into a separate episode, so the focus of this VCR is on the trainees' daily life and practice.
Because the team was reorganized once again, the first scenes played were small clips of the trainees getting used to each other after the reorganization, or personal interviews and some small interactions between them.
This is a more common clip that is common to the previous three groups. Its purpose is to help the audience get familiar with this group of trainees and deepen their impression of each of them.
Soon after everyone was shown to the audience, the light on the big screen faded away.
After the five words "Reversal and Breakthrough" revealed the theme of the video, when the VCR played again, it officially entered the story line that belonged exclusively to Lin Yanran's group.
However, the first shot given by the editor was not choosing C or the interaction with the tutor.
Instead, give a close-up to a card.
There are a few words written on it: Who do you think is the most beautiful?
The camera took a few seconds to quickly cut to the shots of several trainees in Lin Yanran's group.
They all said the name of the trainee they thought was the most handsome.
Among them, Qiao Ye received the most votes.
Seeing this scene, just when Qiao Ye’s fans below the stage wanted to scream.
Xia Xingxing's face appeared on the big screen.
Then the camera moved down and captured the name on his card.
Xia Xingxing, a loyal fan whose thinking is very different from that of ordinary people, once again lived up to everyone's expectations and wrote two words -
Smoky
The screams from the audience that hadn't even been uttered yet instantly turned into laughter.
[I knew Xia Xingxing would fill in Yan Ran hahaha]
[Xia Xingxing’s answers never disappoint me]
After laughing, everyone looked at the big screen with anticipation.
Everyone wanted to see the staff helplessly correct the answer for Xia Xingxing, who did not play by the rules.
However, the imagined scene did not appear. Instead, the camera turned and switched to Qiao Ye.
Qiao Ye asked the staff seriously: "Just fill in the person who is in charge of appearance?"
After getting the staff's approval, he lowered his head and quickly wrote his name on it without even thinking about it.
Two seconds later, he held the card in his hand upright, covering most of his face.
For some reason, the camera blurred here, and the audience immediately opened their eyes wide to look at the name above.
Then they discovered that Qiao Ye, like Xia Xingxing, was writing about Yan Ran.
No one would be surprised that Xia Xingxing would write about Yan Ran, after all, his identity as a fanboy has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
But Qiao Ye, who was a person who was quite rigorous in looking at the rules and reading the questions, wrote an answer that was totally off topic, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only the audience, but even the staff were a little surprised: We can’t fill in Teacher Yan Ran…
Qiao Ye didn't explain after hearing this, he just smiled faintly and nodded, without any intention of changing anything with his hands.
After a few seconds, he slowly spoke, "He is the most handsome guy in my heart."
As soon as Qiao Ye said this, the barrage of comments went crazy.
【Ahhhh baby, don’t be naughty! 】
[Don't smile at the camera like that, mom won't allow you to set fire! ]
[Qiao Ye, how come you were also infected by Xia Xingxing? Shouldn’t he be the one saying this? Hahahaha]
[After joining Yanran's group, Qiao Ye gradually became like Xia Xingxing]
[What the hell is Xia Xingxing gradually becoming? Has she also become a fanboy of Yan Ran?]
[Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter. I feel like after Ye Ge joined Yan Ran’s group, he became much happier and more cheerful.]
Just as the audience was laughing, Gu Siye, who was standing on the side stage, turned his head slightly and his eyes inadvertently swept over Qiao Ye who was waiting in the wings.
After this wave of funny and light-hearted scenes, the program crew entered their favorite part of stirring up trouble and keeping the audience on edge.
Ten people drew the songs for this performance, and then the BGM started playing.
All the audience members could tell right away from the melody that it was the recently popular lovelorn song "truth".
The theme had already been revealed, so all the audience members were very curious about how their group was going to reverse the song.
It was as if the production team could read the audience's minds and arranged the results of the trainees' discussion in the next second.
Lu Tianlang: "Since it's a reversal, let's change it to a completely different style."
Xia Xingxing: "This song sounds very sad. Would it be better if we adapted it to be cooler?"
Qiao Ye: "How about trying the dark style."
Ye Xiyuan: "The dark style is good, the twist is huge and very challenging."
This result was unanimously agreed upon by the entire group.
When the audience saw this result, their expectations were immediately raised.
[This song is for the mass market. The melody is catchy but the arrangement is very simple. It will not be easy to make it stand out on stage.]
[The higher the difficulty, the better it looks. I'm looking forward to it.]
[Don’t be blindly optimistic. The difference in style is so big that it’s really hard to do. I don’t think it will go smoothly.]
This netizen seemed like a prophet. The next shot in the VCR was of Ye Xiyuan being frustrated by the adaptation and being hit to the point of almost collapsing.
He listened to the demo over and over again, sitting in a corner dejected and doubting his life.
Ye Xiyuan's difficulties seemed to open the door of obstacles for the Yanran Group.
The adaptation encountered a bottleneck, and various problems also arose during their subsequent running-in and rehearsal.
Xia Xingxing's practice couldn't keep up with the pace, and the whole group's practice progress was stuck because of him again and again.
Qiao Ye, whose abilities have always been trusted by fans and audiences, had his performance directly denied by Lin Yanran.
"No, Qiao Ye, there is a big problem with you."
"If the stage you present to the audience is like this, it will definitely not be up to standard."
The camera turned again, and Ji Shuai leaned against the wall and spoke softly to Lin Yanran.
"Because of some past experiences, I have always felt inferior about my appearance."
"I'm really afraid that after this performance, the audience will call me ugly again..."
After Ji Shuai finished speaking, some of the problems that this group encountered on a daily basis were edited into the video.
The trainees also changed from their previous cheerful and relaxed appearance to a serious expression.
A line of subtitles slowly typed out.
Can they resolve it successfully?
The last shot before the subtitles appeared was of Qiao Ye frowning and looking forward.
Although the audience all knows that these frictions and problems are deliberately exaggerated by the program crew due to editing elements.
But through this clip, the audience also learned that even for the group that everyone was most looking forward to and believed they were the most confident in, in fact, in order to present a good performance, the difficulties they encountered behind the scenes were much more than everyone imagined.
After the turbulent waves, the style of the video returned to calm.
The final result is a picture of a man wearing a simple white T-shirt and playing the guitar while holding the camera.
The camera did not show the face of the man playing the guitar, but only focused on his beautiful, slender fingers.
The fingertips brush across the strings, and the whole video ends with this fresh and pleasant melody.
[What song is this? It sounds good.]
[I've never heard of this song. Did you write it yourself? ]
【Hand control benefits!!! I can handle this hand!!】
[Who played it? Who played it? Hurry up and take a picture of who played it! ! ! ]
[Was it possible that "truth" was adapted like this in the end? It sounds fresh and nice.]
[What song is this? Who can play it? ! ! The production team is keeping me in suspense again! ! ! ]
The program crew has thousands of routines, and there is always a way to manipulate the audience when you least expect it.
The lights dimmed, and at this moment everyone's eyes were on the dark stage.
Everyone was eager to see the final performance of Yanran Group in the next second.
Did they change the song into the last one that’s so fresh and touching as soon as you hear it?
Or will you still stick to the original idea and present a dark style stage?
Boom...
Boom...
Boom...
Three dull bells rang, and some dark red light gradually lit up on the dark stage.
A young man in a white shirt and white trousers appeared in the center of the stage.
He bowed his head, clasped his hands together, and chanted softly.
Countless dark red beams flickered behind him, and a faint blue light enveloped him.
The audience could see clearly that the young man who was singing was wearing a bridal veil. The veil dimly covered his face, and only some outlines could be vaguely seen...
Behind him was a group of people, performing a distorted dance to the accompaniment of metallic synth sounds, as if they were performing an ancient sacrificial ritual.
The atmosphere suddenly became dark and eerie.
[Wow, this prelude... I already have goosebumps]
[Is the beginning so awesome?]
[Is this really the song “truth” that I listened to on a certain music platform? ? There is absolutely no connection except for the name.]
The boy's low moan gradually became faster, and then the overlapping voices in the BGM sounded, the lights suddenly lit up, and the boy's appearance was finally seen clearly by everyone.
Under the hazy veil, his golden hair was curled into wavy waves. On the collar of his white shirt decorated with lace, his red lips were slightly parted, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
When Ji Shuai's entire face appeared on the big screen after his new makeup, all the audience took a deep breath.
[WTF, it’s actually Ji Shuai!!!]
[Oh my god, this makeup is so strong...]
[Is this a different person? ]
[He is so suitable for this kind of girl group makeup! Wife, please stick to him! 】
[Ah ...
Ji Shuai's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
However, before the audience had time to appreciate this beautiful scene for a few seconds, they saw Ji Shuai, dressed as a bride, being pulled back by countless hands with a look of panic on his face, as if they were going to pull him into the abyss.
After a dance, a music box sounded and the rhythm of the music began to slow down.
The originally simple and plain chords of "truth" were immediately broken up by a piano sound, and the tense atmosphere brought by the previous sacrificial chanting was also instantly resolved.
Xia Xingxing, Lu Tianlang and Ye Xiyuan, dressed in shirts and trousers, appeared one after another.
After finishing their solos, the three of them gathered together.
One person was holding a book, one was holding a crystal ball, and one was holding a model of a room, and they all had ambiguous smiles on their faces.
The soothing piano music is faintly intertwined with the sounds of lightning and thunder, like the calm before a storm.
With the foreshadowing of "not me" last time, almost all the audience are looking forward to what new story this group will bring this time.
Now looking at the expressions of these three people, I suddenly feel that things are not simple.
After the speed of "Truth" was adjusted, a bassline was deliberately added to the weakest part of the original song. This bassline is accompanied by newly added strings and drums, and the changed rhythm is advanced layer by layer.
Along with the music, the disappeared Ji Shuai also ran onto the stage in a panic, and it seemed that a ferocious beast was chasing him from behind.
The bride didn't want to become a sacrifice, so she tried every possible means to finally escape from the clutches of the devil.
But he was lost.
Already exhausted, he broke into a manor before fainting.
There was a grand party going on in the manor.
The guests were all wearing white shirts and black trousers, and the one gathered in the center was an ascetic man wearing metal-framed glasses and buttoning up even the top button of his black suit shirt.
His lips were pursed, his eyes fixed on the fleeing bride.
The desperate bride told the other party about her situation and prayed for protection, not wanting to be caught and thrown into the river as a sacrifice.
After hearing his story, the guests in the magnificent manor expressed their sympathy and pleaded with the owner of the manor, the meticulous man, hoping that the poor man could stay.
At the crowd's request, the man's eyes flashed with compassion.
Finally he stepped forward and gentlemanly extended his right hand to the desperate bride.
A homeless man finally found a new place to live.
Unlike the turmoil of the outside world, this place seems like a paradise.
In the manor,
The sunny boy would pick a bunch of beautiful flowers every morning.
The elegant boy likes to play a beautiful chord in the evening.
The handsome boy will dance a moving dance tirelessly.
The fragile and beautiful bride and the owner of the manor gradually developed a liking for each other.
He was somewhat immersed in this beautiful, dreamlike world.
The BGM is about to reach the climax of the original song.
The brand new song uses speed changes, key changes, harmony and various cool metal synthesizers to lay the foundation for the bass from the chorus hook.
Gao Yu, who was pushed to the front, sang a very explosive rap.
Different from the monotonous rap before, his rap part this time was padded with the harmony of BGM.
After the double layer of rap came out, the thickness of this part of monologue was deepened a lot. In conjunction with the whole song, the shocking feeling of suddenly discovering the truth came out instantly.
The bride who mistakenly entered the manor thought she had escaped from the clutches of the devil, but suddenly found that the manor was not as beautiful as she had imagined.
The young men in white shirts who chatted and laughed with him during the day would disappear after the lights were turned off at night.
However, the number of puppets on the wall of the living room increased day by day.
The bride finally began to realize that this room was actually very strange.
Those teenagers who seemed normal to him always had some very strange expressions from time to time.
For example, that lively boy who can dance suddenly becomes dull one day.
When he danced, the joints of his limbs were as stiff and mechanical as a malfunctioning puppet.
He didn't seem like a real person...but a puppet in human skin.
The owner of the manor took him back to his room.
The worried bride followed quietly.
Then he discovered that the boy had been turned into a real-life puppet by the manor owner...
The puppets that the other party had casually placed on the table were dressed and looked exactly like the people who were chasing him on the road...
The bride finally realized that this was not heaven but another hell.
Everyone in this manor is a puppet controlled by that man.
The reason why he came here was a trap deliberately designed by the man.
One of the favorite things of this perverted man is to seduce and deceive all the beautiful and delicate boys, and finally make them into his favorite puppets, manipulating and controlling them.
When the bride learned the truth, she tried to escape, but it was too late.
The new arrangement adds many minor keys and layers of basslines. After the strings and drums that reveal the truth, the music stops abruptly.
"Love is nothing but a fraudulent game. No one can see the truth clearly."
Qiao Ye changed his previous cold and abstinent attitude and grabbed Ji Shuai with full aggression.
He put his arms around the man's waist, restraining him from escaping, as if he was looking at a canary without wings in his hand.
Ji Shuai looked at the man in front of him, his eyes first changing from fear to disappointment, then confusion, and finally to submission.
The man had blocked all his options. He knew that the moment he was chosen as the bride, he could no longer escape this fate.
So he gave up.
Leaning obediently on the other's shoulder, he closed his eyes and waited for his fate to come.
The man stroked his head gently with a satisfied smile on his face.
The lights gradually dimmed, and just when the audience thought the story was about to end.
The rhythm of the music suddenly changed, and a new bass was mixed into the chords.
The bride gave up struggling and raised her head, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.
He pushed away the dead man and wiped the corners of his mouth that were stained with lipstick.
He gently picked up the room model that Ye Xiyuan had taken earlier, looked at it, and then put it down.
The camera zooms in and lands on this model.
In the room, a man dressed exactly like Qiao Ye was trapped inside and made into a specimen, while behind him were rows of his favorite puppets.
His soul was trapped inside along with the puppet forever, becoming a work of art in the hands of others.
Next to the room model, the book that Xia Xingxing had taken was opened to the latest page.
There is a passage like this on it.
The Soul Eater loves to play tricks on evil creatures.
The crystal ball will recreate his brilliant resume.
…
The barrage was silent for a few seconds, and then it was instantly flooded with comments.
[My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch the video]
[Before watching: Is Yan Ran going to do that fancy stage again this time? Aren't you afraid of getting tired of it? After watching: Modo Modo, I'm okay]
[Ahhh, the last part between Ji Shuai and Qiao Ye is absolutely amazing, so good to watch wuwuwuwuwu]
[Does this mean that there was no sacrifice or pursuit from the beginning to the end, and everything was a trap set by the bride? ]
[That’s right, this pervert thought he was trying to trick the bride, but in fact, the bride was the yandere boss who was also trying to trick him.]
[You are all paying attention to the plot. Am I the only one who thinks this arrangement is awesome? After the arrangement, a catchy song instantly becomes layered]
[Is this song adapted by Ye Xiyuan? He has some talent.]
[This stage is so fitting with the theme. Not only is there a twist in the music, but there is also a twist in the plot.]
[No, there is also the styling. Ji Shuai's styling this time is also a big reversal, which is really related to the topic]
The lights on the stage came back on, and ten trainees stood in front of the audience.
After the ten people introduced themselves one by one, several mentors in the audience couldn't help but speak up.
Han Zhe was the first to speak, and he gave a thumbs up to the people on the stage, "I am really surprised by the combination of your plot, dance and choreography. It made my scalp tingle as soon as they appeared on stage."
Pei Luo, who was more concerned about the arrangement, also looked at Ye Xiyuan and couldn't help but praise him, "Your changes to this song are very good in terms of the layering of the arrangement and the processing of the bass range. You are very talented."
The previous video highlighted the difficulties Ye Xiyuan encountered in composing music.
Unexpectedly, the adaptation presented now is so perfect that not only Pei Luo but also the audience felt shocked.
When Ye Xiyuan’s fans at the scene heard Pei Luo praising their idol like this, they screamed in surprise.
But who would have thought that after thanking Pei Luo, Ye Xiyuan simply waved his hand and said, "I encountered many difficulties when I was adapting the work, and I really felt that I couldn't do it anymore."
Ye Xiyuan said as he looked at Lin Yanran, "But thanks to Teacher Yanran, he helped me with a lot of things. Today's song actually has nothing to do with me. It was completely revised by the teacher for us."
Gao Yu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, and the harmony and vocals were also recorded for us by Teacher Yan Ran."
After hearing what the trainees said, everyone was stunned.
After all, before this, the program team deliberately concealed the part where Lin Yanran helped them compose music through editing, so until now, the audience didn’t know that Lin Yanran could actually compose music.
Now they heard from the trainees that they all helped to produce such an awesome arrangement, and the commentators were completely stunned.
[Wow, Yan Ran’s dancing and choreography are already amazing, but her music arrangement is so amazing]
[The arrangement of this song is really great. The original song is very thin, but he made it layered and advanced, and it is very enjoyable to listen to.]
[I've heard Ye Xiyuan's songs before, and I thought his arrangement skills weren't that great. I thought he had evolved, but I didn't expect it was Yan Ran who did it]
[Wow, baby Yanran, do you have any surprises that mom doesn’t know about? ! ]
After learning the truth, Pei Luo didn't say anything more. He just glanced at Lin Yanran beside him with a little more surprise in his eyes.
As the last mentor to comment, Tang Tang's focus was different from the other two.
She covered her face with excitement and said to Ji Shuai, "You look really good today, don't feel insecure."
After hearing Tang Tang's words, Ji Shuai's fans also shouted, "Ji Shuai, you are so handsome!!!"
Not only fans, but even the audience admitted that Ji Shuai's makeup today really amazed everyone.
After receiving the affirmation, Ji Shuai bowed to Tang Tang and the fans, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face, "Thank you."
Tang Tang nodded and continued with a smile, "But besides this look, I also want to say that the last scene between you and Qiao Ye was so amazing!!!"
CP fans can best understand what Tang Tang meant by this sentence.
The last part between Ji Shuai and Qiao Ye, hugging each other's waists and shoulders...
It's so frustrating!!!
Sure enough, after Tang Tang said this, the fans at the scene never stopped screaming, all imagining the last part that would make them die.
Tang Tang turned her gaze towards Qiao Ye and praised him, "To be honest, I saw you guys also had this part in the video, but you really became a completely different person on stage. The performance was great."
After she finished speaking, she heard the screams of fans in the back, and she helped them convey, "They asked me to ask you how you did it, hahahaha."
Qiao Ye stood on the stage and glanced at Lin Yanran lightly, but he did not say who he was imagining when he was performing.
Ji Shuai answered Tang Tang honestly, "We didn't know how to perform it at first, but later on, thanks to Teacher Yanran and Teacher Gu, they performed it for us in person, and then we followed and learned."
Tang Tang, who was originally smiling, changed her expression when she heard the three words "Teacher Gu". She immediately asked in surprise, "What? What? Did Teacher Gu and Yan Ran personally demonstrate it to you???"
All the trainees nodded.
Tang Tang, who looked as if she had discovered some great secret, immediately looked at Lin Yanran, and then turned to Gu Siye on the stage.
"What should I do? I'm really curious about what it's like for you and Yanran to play these two roles together, Mr. Gu."
Gu Siye smiled faintly and said, "It's definitely better on the stage tonight."
Tang Tang smiled and shook her head, "But I still want to see your version."
After saying that, she looked at the director again, "Director Song, can you show this clip for us to watch as a bonus?"
The barrage went crazy after hearing Tang Tang’s words.
【Tang Tang did a great job! 】
[Oh my god, that scene just now of the gentlemanly villain x sickly beauty that was so exciting, actually has a Gu Siye x Yan Ran version! ! ]
[Director, please be smart and show this part to the audience! ]
【Let go, let go!!! 】
[Hurry, hurry, I can't wait]
The audience also shouted, "Director Song, please release it!!!"
Song Yingming, who was suddenly cueed, spread his hands in embarrassment.
However, before he could say anything, he heard fans behind him shouting at him.
"Song Yingming, I order you to quickly broadcast this segment for the audience. Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"
"Song Yingming, now is your chance to prove that you are the best variety show director in the country. When the show is broadcast, you will be the best director in my heart. You can do whatever you want!"
After listening to this, Song Yingming sighed...
He took the microphone and said to everyone, "In that case... then..."
The audience listened carefully, but saw that the other party had no further words after a few seconds.
hateful!
Song Yingming, what's that thing over there, just tell me directly whether you want to put it in or not!!!
