Chapter 43
Almost at the same time Jie Xichao walked into the corridor, different scenes appeared in each room.
In the room of "click", Ai Qingyuan pretended to be reserved in front of the camera, but his eyes kept glancing towards the door. The one who shared the same feelings but acted very differently was Qiao Ye. He started shouting through the door:
"Jie Xichao! Please think about it. Our group really needs a good presence, really!"
When Ai Qingyuan heard the shouting, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xia Ruiyan also rolled his eyes.
Compared to these two idiots - no matter what others think, this is how Xia Ruiyan defines him. In short, he is more worried about Jie Xichao coming than not coming. But the camera was still facing him, and although he remained calm on the surface, his fingers had unconsciously clenched into his palms.
Among all the people, Guan Heng was the one who was calm and composed inside and out.
The doorplate in front of him clearly reads "Dead Leaf Butterfly in the Rain". The camera is pointed at his elegant and handsome face. He sighs, "It's like a concubine waiting to be picked."
Camera: “…”
Are you speaking human language?
Guan Guiren was completely unaware and continued to sigh sadly towards the door.
Outside the door, a certain foolish emperor named Xie seemed unaware of the longing of his concubines in the harem for him. He thought slowly for half a minute and finally made a decision.
He walked forward, passed the doors of the two concubines Ai and Qiao, who were beautiful but not very smart, and went straight to the door with the sign "Dead Leaf Butterfly in the Rain", then knocked on the door very politely.
Guan Heng held his chin in his hand and said, "The door is not locked."
After a moment, the door was pushed open.
Xie Xichao leaned against the door, looking natural:
"Morning."
Guan Heng raised his eyes slightly: "Is it what I thought it meant?"
"Yes." Xie Xichao said, "We agreed that no matter what you choose, I will come and say hello to you."
Guan Heng was helpless.
He said, "Okay, just say hello and leave quickly. I'm annoyed to see you."
Jie Xichao smiled, handed him the wristband that he had left on the seat when he left, and then closed the door for him.
It seemed like I heard the sound of a door opening, and I thought everything outside had settled. I don't know when it became quiet. The staff came in and urged him softly. He nodded: "It will be ready soon."
Then, without any hesitation, he walked to the door of the creative team.
The creative team was also divided into two groups, but the difference between the two groups was purely based on letters.
He lowered his eyes, casually took the dice out of his pocket, raised it to eye level and looked at it, then said, "Odd numbers are on the left, even numbers are on the right."
The light on the small dice became brighter.
Recently, its relationship with Jie Xichao has finally returned to normal.
The reason is that Jie Xichao recently received a small gift from Yun Pan, a very beautiful storage box. Jie Xichao didn't have anything to store, so he usually just put the dice in and let it play by itself.
Little Dice usually stayed in Jie Xichao's pocket and had been bored for a long time. Now that it finally moved into the big villa, it was so happy that it rolled around in the box for several days. Yun Pan also became one of the rare people who received special treatment from it.
When it lies in Yunpan's palm, it will automatically and consciously turn the "6" upwards, sending out Yunpan's most sincere blessings.
After Xie Xichao finished speaking, he waited for half a second.
Soon, the dice rolled flexibly in the air and then fell steadily into his palm.
Singular: 5.
This is Xie Xichao’s ranking.
He noticed that his little pet had a close relationship with this number, so he smiled, and without hesitation, he pushed open the door on the left.
There was no one inside the door.
He sat down behind the sign and waited patiently for his teammates.
*
Almost at the moment the door next door rang, Xia Ruiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His palms were full of sweat, and he had to clench them tightly to maintain the expression on his face.
……fine. He thought.
Xie Xichao did not come to Creative Group B.
Sure enough, his choice just now was correct.
A huge stone in his heart suddenly fell, and Xia Ruiyan almost wanted to laugh. On the other side, Jie Xichao glanced towards the next room with an indifferent expression.
He had long guessed that Xia Ruiyan would choose the creative team.
There is no other reason.
Xia Ruiyan was too nervous.
It is most likely that he will be selected from the creative team. Only when the other party wants to choose the same group as him will he be so eager to get a definite answer from him.
If he had pushed open the door next door just now, Xia Ruiyan's expression would probably have been very interesting.
But Xie Xichao didn't want to.
It is certainly refreshing for a moment, but compared with the various conflicts that may arise within the group later, he would rather not have these few seconds of pleasure. In particular, he chose the creative group that was most likely to have conflicts.
The dice probably sensed his thoughts, so they guided him to Group A.
Xie Xichao was very satisfied.
The dice was also very satisfied. It moved a few times in Jie Xichao's pocket, and then finally retired with its mission accomplished and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, new footsteps were heard at the door.
-
There is no other reason why Jie Xichao chose the creative team, just because of the high degree of freedom.
The first and third public performances are comprehensive stages, and if you want to show your expertise in a certain area, there is also personal solo time in the finals, so there is no need to be so anxious during the position evaluation.
Of course, the premise of high degree of freedom is that he has a group of good teammates.
The "good" here does not mean to blindly follow others, but to listen to what they say and know what "teamwork" is.
While waiting for his teammates, he wondered whether Yun Pan could guess that he was in Group A of the Creative Team.
This is where he felt sorry for Yun Pan.
After all, for other groups, it is possible to guess based on the style of music, but for the creative group, distinguishing between groups A and B is a matter of luck.
While he was thinking, the sixth person had already chosen a group.
Next up is number seven.
Until the ninth place, Liu Xuning, the creative team was still ignored.
Although it sounds a bit narcissistic to say this, Jie Xichao knows that it is most likely because he is there.
On the other side, Lu Xing sat down next to Guan Heng, and the two chatted. The former said: "Xi Chao went to the creative team, right? Brother Heng, aren't you two roommates? Why don't you go with him?"
Guan Heng also smiled: "What about you, why don't you challenge yourself?"
The two looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
Half a second later, Guan Heng said, "Why don't we guess which group Xuning will go to."
Skip this sad topic.
Liu Xuning went to the vocal group.
The top ten members are not lacking in popularity, and the most important thing for them is stability.
What I mean is, don’t do things on stage that even your fans can’t tolerate.
For example, a member who is good at vocals challenges himself and tries to dance a fairy-like Chinese dance, but ends up turning into a big white goose that can only flap its wings.
Tenth, Fu Wenzhe.
He pushed open the door of Creative Group A.
Jie Xichao was startled, looked into his eyes, and then blinked slowly.
After a moment, he considered his words: "Welcome?"
Fu Wenzhe:.
"Remember to wait for me for dinner," he said, "I want to go to the practice room tonight."
Xie Xichao: “…”
oh.
For dinner.
He made an "OK" gesture and watched his roommate leave.
Five minutes later, the little boy in a cream-colored sweatshirt knocked on the door on time: "Brother Xichao."
Xie Xichao breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "Panpan? Come in."
Yun Pan pushed open the door and fell into his arms.
Xie Xichao was caught off guard and staggered, then ruffled his hair.
*
Almost as soon as he entered the door, Yun Pan's face showed obvious excitement.
He first hugged Jie Xichao's waist for a long time without letting go, until Jie Xichao tapped his arm suggestively, he woke up from his dream and let go of Jie Xichao.
He was a little embarrassed: "...Brother, I'm so happy."
Xie Xichao softened his heart a little, but also became curious: "How did you know I was in this group?"
"I don't know." Yun Pan said.
Xie Xichao:?
"I knocked on the door of every room you might go to," Yun Pan explained.
Xie Xichao: “…”
He deliberately lowered his voice to avoid being captured by the camera.
Now it’s good, there’s no point in covering it up.
The whole world probably knows that Yun Pan is trying his best to join the group he is in.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt helpless.
This is certainly not a good thing.
It didn't matter to him, after all, he was the one who chose first. It can be seen from Yun Pan's words and actions that they came without any prior appointment. But for Yun Pan, this behavior is a bit...
In short, this segment is bound to cause controversy after it is broadcast.
He was considering whether to chat with Yun Pan later when the door was knocked again. The trainee's voice came from outside: "Hello, is anyone there?"
Xie Xichao's thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
He said, "Someone is here, you can come in directly."
Soon, the door was pushed open again. The new trainee walked in and greeted him with some curiosity and nervousness.
-
Although Xie Xichao himself was a little pessimistic about the selection of the group.
But in the end, their group's lineup was still quite impressive.
There are 50 trainees and 8 stages. Considering the difficulty of the creative groups themselves, the number of people in the two creative groups is 7.
Among them, Jie Xichao and Yun Pan are both ranked high.
Among the remaining five people, two are in the top 25, and two are after the 25th, but Jie Xichao has an impression of them, and their overall strength is not too bad.
Among them, the most surprising thing was only one person.
When Zou Yi pushed open the door and came in, even Jie Xichao himself thought he had come in the wrong way, or was deliberately creating suspense.
But he just walked in so frankly and directly.
Then he closed the door.
Jie Xichao opened his mouth, and Yun Pan beside him widened his eyes: "You..."
"Hi Panpan."
Just like all trainees, when meeting Yun Pan, Zou Yi first pinched his cheek out of habit, then smiled and said, "Do you know me? You are so surprised to see me."
"I remember." Yun Pan whispered, "Brother, you sing very well."
Zou Yi was surprised for a second, then felt touched: "Thank you, baby."
Yun Pan felt a little embarrassed by being called "baby" and turned his eyes away silently, pretending not to see it.
On the other side, Xie Xichao finally came back to his senses.
He said: "You..."
Zou Yi tilted his head: "Didn't you say we could work together again if we had a chance? Teacher Xie, I always keep my promises."
Jie Xichao paused slightly at his fingertips.
Of course he remembered this sentence.
During the first public performance, he was supposed to join Zou Yi's group, but was temporarily replaced by Ai Qingyuan.
At that time, this was the last thing Zou Yi said to him.
"I thought you were going to join the Shenmeng group," he said.
"Shenmeng" is the song that requires higher skills in the vocal group. When Jie Xichao caught a glimpse of Zou Yi out of the corner of his eye just now, he clearly saw that he was obviously moved when he heard the song.
"I was going to go." Zou Yi said.
Jie Xichao was slightly stunned.
Zou Yi smiled and said, "I don't know if there will be another stage. I thought, instead of staying in my comfort zone, I might as well fulfill my wish."
He paused, "If I hadn't worked with you once before I left, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
These words were too harsh, and Xie Xichao didn't know what to say for a moment. Zou Yi had no intention of burdening him, so he changed the subject.
Just like that, the group inexplicably gained a talented vocalist.
The group selection was over and everyone gathered together.
As the highest-ranking person here, the camera and everyone else looked eagerly at Li Xichao.
Xie Xichao: “…”
He said: "Well, first of all, congratulations on the fact that our group is fully staffed and does not have to experience staff turnover."
Everyone agreed with this.
Although voting someone out is a fair procedure, it is still uncomfortable.
It’s sad for those who leave, and it’s sad for those who join.
Since the place is full, this step can be skipped.
"Second," he said, "why don't we vote now and choose a captain first."
*
Xie Xichao really doesn't want to be captain.
The reason is simple.
tired.
He is good at interpersonal communication but doesn't like it. Being the captain during the first public performance made him exhausted, especially when there was someone like Ai Qingyuan in the team - he didn't want to discredit his roommate.
But sometimes he felt like he was rooming with a kindergartner.
But this matter was obviously beyond his control.
When he was unanimously approved, he twitched his lips: "...I will be very fierce."
Zou Yi said: "Hmm? I don't feel anything."
"Really." Xie Xichao took a deep breath, "My reputation as a captain is very bad. If you don't believe me, go out and ask."
Everyone pretended not to hear.
Yun Pan at the side said in a low and serious voice: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Many people like you very much. Especially your teammates in Yigong."
As soon as the voice fell, the other trainees who were already somewhat hesitant immediately gave up the idea and said one after another: "Brother, don't be modest. We will be very obedient and will never cause you any trouble."
Xie Xichao: “…”
It turns out that Panpan in their family simply attacks indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend or foe.
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, he sighed and compromised.
"Okay." He said, "But let me make it clear first, if I'm the captain, daily practice will be stricter. First of all, you can't be late. Secondly, in terms of stage effects, compared to other groups, I will pay more attention to the details, so everyone may feel a little tired. Of course, all for the final stage.
Is this ok with everyone? ”
These two points are already the most basic requirements.
The rest of the people naturally had no objection.
Only one boy raised his hand timidly: "Well, I want to ask, how early is too early to be late?"
"Eight thirty in the morning." Xie Xichao said.
The boy said "Huh?" and whispered, "Isn't this a bit early? Is 9:30 ok?"
As soon as the voice fell, someone spoke up, with a somewhat nervous tone: "I also think it's a bit early. I can't get up in the morning. Can I practice a little longer in the evening?"
Xie Xichao usually gets up at seven o'clock and has breakfast at eight o'clock. Normally, he would be in the fixed practice room at 8:30, and this had been going on for almost the past few days.
But this is his own schedule, and if someone raises some objections, he won't force it.
"Okay," he said.
He paused and said, "But by 9:30, I hope everyone has already done some warm-up exercises in the practice room. This time is not too early. We should gather as early as possible so that we can start the day's practice as early as possible. This is the most basic requirement for everyone."
The others nodded like chicks pecking at rice, indicating that they understood.
Jie Xichao paused, still said nothing, and withdrew his gaze.
-
In fact, he knew that he was telling the truth.
There is another reason why he is not a captain, that is, he is very strict.
He is very strict with himself.
Because the system is actually a place with very strict discipline. If we have to make an analogy, it is almost the same as military discipline.
This is due to the nature of the task.
They hold other people's lives in their hands. This is something that cannot go wrong.
Over time, Xie Xichao himself also developed the habit.
He doesn't reject it.
Being strict with yourself is a form of self-discipline, which can help people who are inherently lazy to rebuild their own life system and code of conduct. In short, it is a process of tempering oneself.
And strictness is also essential for a team.
Xie Xichao said that he was strict with his team members because after the first public evaluation and the previous re-evaluation, he was very clear that some of his requirements in this regard, although helpful for the growth of individuals and teams, were difficult for some people to adhere to.
A talent show is not like a mission or a military unit. Most people don’t necessarily need the results of this kind of effort and persistence.
At times like this, being forced to be self-disciplined by others is torture.
Now everyone agreed very readily, but that was because they did not yet have a correct understanding.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Jie Xichao is lucky, as the teammates he met are all people who are very strict with themselves.
So he stopped there.
Since he is the captain, it is natural for him to preside over the next agenda.
Xie Xichao didn't waste any time and went straight through the idea in his mind.
Then he said, "Our group is quite special, and everyone should know that. We are starting from scratch, and there are no finished songs for us to practice, but the time until the performance is the same for everyone, so everyone may have a harder time during this period."
"Originally." He paused, "After choosing the captain, we should choose C, but I think it might be more efficient if we decide on the creation first and then choose C. So let me ask everyone, do you have any ideas about the creation?"
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence.
