Chapter 035 Chapter 35
After waiting for the last fan in line to leave and waving goodbye to the coffee shop staff, the busy group sat down on the ground by the flower wall to rest.
At this time, there were only five of them left at the flower wall. The fans or passers-by who came to participate in the first public performance had already dispersed and found a shady place to sit.
As the figure of the lady from the coffee shop driving the food truck gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, Zhou Xiao took inventory of the supplies.
At present, except for the box that Zhou Xiao specially left behind, all the other gift packages have been delivered.
There were still a dozen or so desserts and coffees left, just enough for everyone to replenish their energy. Zhou Xiao pushed Dong Xiaoyu, who was lying on the ground, to a cleaner area inside. This was the check-in area, and the once lavender floor was now covered with dense footprints.
She was completely exhausted by this point. The mechanical operation of distributing support was truly exhausting! Zhou Xiao didn't care if it was dirty or not, simply leaning against the white cloud beneath the unicorn's hoof. The cloud was soft and fluffy, and leaning against it was surprisingly comfortable.
She stared blankly upward. Everyone was silent, no one wanting to speak. Suddenly, Zhou Xiao felt something pressing against her back. She touched it and found a round acrylic plate. It might have fallen off when the workers were gluing it yesterday. Perhaps it had fallen off during the garbage cleanup and hadn't been noticed.
Zhou Xiaoyou had specially made a few more of these boards, displaying Ji Shao's photos in the form of records. She looked up at the wall of records, but there were no fallen records on it.
Zhou Xiao felt relieved and was about to put the board back when he seemed to notice some words written on the back of the board.
She turned it over and saw—
Thank you for your support!
——Ji Shao
Ji Shao!
This handwriting? Zhou Xiao suddenly remembered something and pulled out his phone, scrolling through his photo album. He compared the photos in the album with the handwriting on the acrylic disc in his hand. The handwriting of the two characters "Ji Shao" was basically the same.
"Oh my god!" The people lying on the ground suddenly heard Zhou Xiao's voice, and turned their eyes to Zhou Xiao who suddenly stood up in confusion.
Zhou Xiao took a deep breath and licked his dry lips. He lifted the acrylic disc in his hand and turned it over.
At first, no one thought anything of it. But when they looked closely at the words on the acrylic disc, their eyes widened. Qi Sisi carefully took the acrylic disc from Zhou Xiao's hand, a bit incredulous.
"Aren't the trainees in closed training?" Zhou Xiao gestured quietly to everyone. She looked at the round board and suddenly thought of this question.
"Could he have sneaked out?" Li Mo asked hesitantly, leaning against the floor and stretching his neck to look at the words. Several people began to speculate based on this. Some said he climbed over the wall, while others said he sneaked out with the staff...
Looking at the chattering crowd, "Keep it a secret for now!" Zhou Xiao made the final decision.
Zhu Jian checked the time. It was already past 2 p.m. "Let's eat first. We'll have to queue up soon! We can't bring food or drinks in, so everyone, drink less coffee!"
Everyone nodded after hearing Zhu Jian's reminder. Qi Sisi stuffed the acrylic round plate in her hand back into Zhou Xiao's bag and reached out for her favorite dessert.
Zhou Xiao placed the remaining desserts and coffee in an insulated box, and the others placed the box and the cheering gift bag in a nearby security booth. They had previously agreed with the security guard that the desserts and coffee were free to take, but the cheering gift bag would be kept there for the time being.
After the show, Zhou Xiao and others walked towards the studio. "Everyone came to line up so early!" Dong Xiaoyu whispered as she looked at the people lined up in front and behind her.
Zhu Jian looked at the crowd. They lined up relatively early, but there were already one or two hundred people in front of them. "Standing tickets are like this. The earlier you get in, the better your seat."
After waiting in line for more than half an hour, we were finally led to the ticket gate by the staff. The Xingtu 101 production team had opened four ticket gates this time, so the procession wasn't particularly slow.
After checking the ID card and ticket, the security guard handed over a confidentiality agreement, which must be signed by all participants in competitive competitions to prevent the results from being leaked.
Zhou Xiao carefully read the contents of the agreement. It was basically the same format, so he nodded to everyone and signed his name. Then they walked along the corridor to the studio.
Qi Sisi looked around and talked to Zhou Xiao, "I don't think we were here last time."
Zhou Xiao nodded. It was obvious that the press conference and the studio were not the same place. She was curious about how big Huashang Times Square was. She hadn't even had the chance to visit it, and just as she was lost in thought, they arrived at the studio entrance.
"Wow" "So beautiful" As soon as you enter the studio, you can see the huge stage in the middle. On the back is the logo of the Star 101 program - the crown shape
Zhu Jian grabbed the hands of Zhou Xiao and Dong Xiaoyu on either side of him and rushed to the front row, "Hurry, get to the front!"
For this kind of offline standing-room performance, the audience basically has to fight for the front row seats. If you can’t bring yourself to fight for them now, you will regret it later!
The front row was almost full. Although Zhu Jian wore glasses, she quickly found an ideal spot based on her past offline performance. With a strong push, she successfully squeezed Zhou Xiao in.
Zhou Xiao: ? (Thank you very much, but it’s really crowded!)
The remaining four people were distributed behind Zhou Xiao. Now the seats at the edge of the stage were all occupied. Several people surrounded Zhou Xiao to give her more space. You know, the fan club member can't stand being pushed when filming.
While waiting in the audience, Zhou Xiao opened the system in his mind. Just when he was exhausted, the system beeped twice. He clicked it open and saw what he had expected.
[System Task: Offline Support Flower Wall (1/1), Reward System Funds 50,000 Yuan.]
[System Task. Offline Support Roll-up Banner (1/1), Reward System Funds: 50,000 Yuan.]
"Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have come in so early." Qi Sisi, who, like Zhou Xiao, was also standing in a performance for the first time, couldn't help but mutter after standing for almost an hour.
"Stand on tiptoe and look behind you," Dong Xiaoyu said softly. "That's how it is offline. The lines keep lining up. We're lucky inside because the air conditioning is on high enough."
"What if you are afraid of the cold?" Li Mo asked from the side.
Zhou Xiao said jokingly: "Then let's all gather together for warmth."
Qi Sisi looked a little distressed, which was normal. After all, she had been standing for so long and there was not even a place to sit down. Moreover, the stage was now empty, with no one to liven up the atmosphere.
"It's past 4 o'clock, Sisi, just hold on a little longer," Zhu Jian comforted Qi Sisi. "The ticket says it starts at 6 o'clock. If all the audience can enter by 5 o'clock, we might arrange for someone to warm up the audience then."
We waited for almost another hour. Fortunately, we all knew each other and could chat happily even in the noisy environment. We didn't know where the topics came from, but we just said whatever came to mind.
Just when a few people were chatting enthusiastically, the stage in front suddenly darkened, and the audience pool began to boil. The first public performance finally began!
"Hello everyone, thank you for waiting for so long." A gentle female voice came from the loudspeaker, and the voice was soon recognized.
"This voice is Zhou Quanli's, right?" "It sounds like it!" "It should be Teacher Zhou, after all, she is the initiator!" "Zhou Quanli!" The audience in the audience suddenly shouted.
"Click" the entire studio suddenly became dark, and as the crisp sound of high heels rang out in the darkness, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the originally dark stage lit up little by little with the sound of high heels stepping on it.
When Zhou Quanli stood in the center of the stage, all the stage lights lit up, and countless lights shone on Zhou Quanli.
She was dressed in a stylish beige outfit, looking smart and energetic. The audience began to chant Zhou Quanli's name rhythmically.
She smiled gently, suppressed her voice with her hands, and when her voice was almost silent, she picked up the microphone and said, "This is the first performance of Star Path 101."
"I'm the initiator and national producer, Zhou Quanli. Nice to meet you all." She paused, waiting for the audience's enthusiastic response, and then continued, "Which trainee are you all here to support today?"
The audience in the audience was boiling with excitement, desperately shouting for the trainees they picked, and Zhou Xiao and others also shouted Ji Shao's name, and raised the Ji Shao banners they had prepared in advance above their heads and shook them.
Zhou Xiaoneng, who was waving a banner, keenly noticed that a photographer's camera was moving towards her. Her nose wrinkled slightly under the mask. Fortunately, she had put on a mask in advance.
"I can already feel everyone's enthusiasm on stage," Zhou Quanli said, looking at the audience. "Star Path 101 includes 42 agencies and individual trainees, for a total of 101 trainees."
"They gathered here to debut as a global male idol group," Zhou Quanli's beautiful eyes swept across the audience. "So who is helping them realize their dreams now?"
"I", "We", "Woo~" The audience below kept interacting with Zhou Quanli excitedly.
"Of course, the final ranking will be determined by the combined online votes of the nearly two thousand national producers who came here and the national producers who voted online for our trainees in front of the screen!" As soon as she finished speaking, the screen behind her began to play the Star Path 101 voting VCR.
After the VCR ended, Zhou Quanli took the microphone and said, "This first public performance will determine the elimination of the trainees. Please evaluate the trainees in a serious and fair manner!"
"I announce that the first performance evaluation of Star Path 101 will be the group competition evaluation—"
