Chapter 083 Chapter 83
The six songs in the third performance were all composed by well-known masters in the industry at the request of the Star Path 101 production team. Among them, Ji Shao's "Rose Says" was composed by You Jingda, a good friend of mentor Jiang Zhijuan.
For this vocal track, the program team only showed a melody excerpt during the fan voting session. Despite this, the finished product was clearly good. The audience, upon first hearing the opening, were struck by the potential for something special.
Zhou Xiao's camera had been locked on Ji Shao since he took the stage. Perhaps due to the practice of standing still, their costumes were rather extravagant and elaborate. As the trainees lined up neatly, with the spotlights shining down from above, the audience caught the eye and began to anticipate the performance.
In Zhou Xiao's lens, Ji Shao grips the hand microphone and gazes toward the camera at the front of the stage. As the prelude begins, silky orchestral music drifts through the air, colliding with Ji Shao's distinctive voice, the two skillfully blending in this moment and space.
The divine introduction immediately captured the audience's attention, captivating them. Of course, it wasn't just that, it also made them feel comfortable and enjoyable. Besides Ji Shao's vocals, the rest of the team also delivered excellent vocal performances, collectively providing a flawless performance.
The wonderful performance ended with everyone reluctant to leave. As the high note of the ending fell, Ji Shao's gentle and soft voice followed as a prelude until it faded away...
In the camera, Ji Shao tilted his head, breathing softly, his black hair falling to one side of his face, making him look both fragile and sacred. His panting, half-parted lips, and his long, fan-like eyelashes, as the light from behind brushed against the side of his face—
The audience on the right side were all amazed when they saw Ji Shao like this. Then huge screams broke out from the audience pool on the right side of the studio, and the scene below was extremely lively.
This caused the audience on the other side, caught up in the song, to look towards stage right in surprise. So what exactly happened? As a distinguished ticket holder, was there anything they hadn't seen?
"It seems the audience really enjoyed our trainees' performance," Zhou Quanli said, walking from one side of the stage to the center. He observed the atmosphere and joked, "Are you reluctant to let them go?"
She was met with even more enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Zhou Quanli smiled and said, "The trainees have already finished their wonderful performance of 'Rose Says'. Now, let's invite the trainees to do the final vote-pulling!"
As the team leader, Ji Shao first thanked Zhou Quanli for paving the way for them. He picked up the microphone and said the first sentence, "As the team leader..."
The audience responded immediately with enthusiastic applause and cheers, and the laughter that couldn't be masked by the noise became increasingly obvious. Some of the audience members were still puzzled and looked towards the stage.
Ji Shao on the stage followed the audience's reaction and smiled helplessly, "Oh, it really seems like I've always been the captain on the Star Path 101 stage..."
"First of all, I'd like to thank the national producers who chose this song for us," Ji Shao said, taking the microphone with ease. "We all love this song. Thank you!"
The audience responded enthusiastically, and Ji Shao on the stage was also inspired by this enthusiasm. He looked at his teammates and said sincerely, "Please vote for our team. I also look forward to meeting you all next time!"
Because each trainee had a limited speaking time, when Ji Shao handed the microphone to the trainee next to him, a clamor of requests to stay arose from the audience. Ji Shao, who was on the stage, saw that the voices of his teammates were drowned out by the noise, so he reached out his hand and made a gentle pressing gesture as if to comfort him.
This action was very effective. In addition to the initial burst of enthusiasm, the audience seemed to understand Ji Shao's hint. Many people quieted down and listened to the other trainees' speeches, and then looked at Ji Shao's face.
After Xiang Rui finished speaking, the microphone was passed back to Zhou Quanli one by one, and then it reached Ji Shao, who was on the far left. He suddenly picked up the microphone and said to the audience, "Everyone, please look at what's in the air!"
Before he finished speaking, several trainees on stage pulled handfuls of golden objects from their obviously bulging pockets. Before Zhou Xiao, who was in the audience, could register what was happening, she saw Ji Shao leap high and throw something toward the back row. Zhou Xiao's camera followed the golden arc backwards. When the golden object paused slightly above her, she could clearly see what it was: a golden candy.
The trainees on stage, either following Ji Shao's lead or simply focusing on the back rows, had forgotten about the front rows. After throwing two handfuls of candy, Ji Shao looked at the raised hands in the front row and tapped his pocket. After receiving a positive response from the audience, he tossed a few candies down the edge of the stage in batches.
Even after their group of trainees left the stage, the atmosphere in the venue remained heated. Zhou Xiao, smiling as she squeezed the two candies in her hand, suddenly realized that this little stage trick was truly endearing!
On the stage behind, another group of trainees also threw down small props, guitar picks. It turns out that in the atmosphere of a talent show, props for canvassing votes are extremely important!
At the end of the performance, after both votes were completed, a long while passed before Zhou Quanli walked onto the stage and nodded to the guide.
The camera cut to the two notaries who were the only ones sitting in the audience. They said to the camera with a serious expression:
"The results of the third performance of Star Path 101 are true, legal and valid."
The performance came to an end with Zhou Quanli's final summary.
…
Because the third performance had fewer pieces, it ended faster than the previous two. When Zhou Xiao found the three people waiting for her, they smiled flatteringly at her. Zhou Xiao looked at them with amusement, not showing any anger, and simply beckoned them to Huashang Times Square.
Zhu Jian, standing beside Zhou Xiao, said as they walked, "Let's record a video together later!" This was a common practice in the fan club. The previous two times, no one had recorded anything and everyone had just run away. Now that Zhu Jian was a member of the fan club, like a young dragon slayer, she had already forced a few people who were about to flee to follow her to the offline gathering point.
In the darkness, a crowd of people moved. Zhou Xiao, wearing a mask, stood at the back with Qi Sisi and Li Mo, chanting slogans along with Zhu Jian, who was at the front. It's worth noting that while the slogans of one or two people might seem childish, the collective strength of the crowd, combined with their shared hearts, was immensely powerful. And in this atmosphere, one could deeply sense the cohesiveness of the fan club.
Watching Zhu Jian say goodbye to several friends from the fan club, Zhou Xiao and the others stamped their feet to relieve the pressure and numbness in their legs. This is a common problem with participating in offline performances. There is no place to sit, and you have to stand for hours. So those who can come regularly are true fans.
Li Mo saw Zhu Jian walking towards her slowly and hurriedly urged her to hurry up. You know, she had been thinking about the to sign and pb for a long time!
Especially when the performance was almost over, she was already thinking about "360 Ways to Show Off Your Autograph and PB"!
Zhou Xiao specially prepared some extra pb. Apart from the ones used for the raffle for the black workers, the rest were given away to others, such as Qi Sisi and others, or some marketing account friends he knew, such as Ning Jiayue and his group.
Zhou Xiao and a few others returned to the hotel to retrieve their belongings, while the forums over there were already in a frenzy of gossip. Because there were so many gossips this time, many netizens on the forum said they were "full of it."
——【Forum】——[July 30 evening]
[Theme] Some people are watching the performance, while others are just watching the show. Everyone has a bright future.
[Main Post] Oh my goodness, are these melons really something I can eat? I'm already grinning so hard, my friends!

The ones I've seen so far include potato chips, milk tea, chocolate, and coffee. Some are new series! They even have titles! So impressive! These brands are all old ones!

I heard that these brand sponsors wanted to make an official announcement on Chinese Valentine's Day, but now I don't know how to match them~

Sure, if they really endorse these, I can actually support them! Isn't that much better than those vague and unrealistic things? Also, I advise the production team not to let the trainees take on any micro-business brands. Don't devalue their value just to make a lot of money!
63L
Blessings in advance, high commercial value is a good thing! I don't know if there will be a stage for singing in the future, but it seems difficult. There is only one talent show, where are the extra people to sing? [Sigh] Unless I am with those singers

While everyone was enjoying the gossip, a certain fan club was being tagged by one of its biggest fans, who were demanding details of their offline support. The reason was that the offline fans found the live support to be poor, and some had long since discovered that the fan club's previous offer was horribly inflated, but at the time everyone had tacitly accepted that the fan club was making the money.
This is how the fan day fan club scene came about. Xiaoyu, who was happily enjoying the endorsement melon in the forum, looked at the new post that appeared in the forum and was stunned...Huh? How did this get to his own home?
She had been happy to see Xiang Rui and Ji Shao on stage together, but her face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd. Looking at the prices posted on the forum, a single flower wall cost over 80,000! Recalling what she'd seen offline, and then looking at the flower walls offered by other trainee fan clubs for 30,000-40,000 yuan, she felt a surge of anger! The fan clubs were making way too much money!
…
At the same time, the PB that Zhou Xiao had sent out also began to circulate quietly on the Internet. Soon someone posted a photo of it online.
【Topic】The heart-pounding teacher pb is out...who else...
[Main Building] It is said that the real thing is even more amazing than the one in the photo. I can only sigh in despair. Why is it that I am not the winner? [Picture][Picture][Picture]

Where did you get this pb? I remember it was only on sale yesterday, right? [bites corner of quilt]

Reply to 1L: This is what Xindong teacher gave to the offline black workers today, one copy for each person [smile]

I stared at the two banners in my hands in a daze. Could this be the legendary "same black worker, different fate"?

I'm so jealous that I'm biting people's butts like crazy! Jealousy is tearing me apart!

I told the Ji Shao family not to eat too well. I'm jealous. Please ask them to pay for my medical expenses!!!
