Chapter 46
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Xiao logged into his Weibo account on time.
Next to her were her busy colleagues.
Someone passed by and jokingly said, "Xiaoxiao, are you spreading the bait again?"
Xie Xiao also laughed.
Just smiled and sighed.
"Yes," she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the page on his computer jumped, and in an instant, thousands of private messages jumped into his eyes. She calmed herself down, glanced through them one by one, and then was amazed in her heart.
Xie Xiao is a temporary intern of "Super Rookie".
Interns can't do any important work in this kind of program.
On weekdays, apart from helping her master with odd jobs and studying at the same time, she had nothing else to do.
Seeing that she was serious about her work and was interested in this line of work, the team thought about it and simply assigned her a task that was neither too big nor too small:
Provide information for the program team.
This is what fans commonly call the program team's water army.
Of course, compared to those low-quality water armies that are paid by the hour or by the order, what Xie Xiao does is relatively clean and easy.
It is obvious that her account is a staff account of the program team. Her daily job is to answer some trivial questions, and of course most of the content is true.
It can only be regarded as a whet of appetite.
Xie Xiao is a cautious person by nature, and he has never made any mistakes since he opened his account.
At this moment, her account has accumulated several thousand fans, which is considered a small success.
As soon as she came online, dozens of private messages immediately came in.
"Sister, you're here! I've been waiting for you!"
"Sister, can you tell me the grouping for the second public performance? I'm really curious!"
"Sister, can you tell me which members have a better relationship in private? Is the editing of the program credible? Why do my CP look like they don't know each other?"
And so on…
Xie Xiao was already used to seeing this content.
She had gone from being nervous at the beginning to being calm now. After tapping her fingertips for a while, all her fans saw a new blog post on the homepage.
Working hard:
Done! Answer questions for half an hour = 3 = I won’t reveal what I can’t say
Almost instantly, a large number of comments emerged.
-Ahhh, sister, look at me! Second public group! Grouping!
Xie Xiao typed calmly.
-This is something that cannot be discussed, but the grouping is quite exciting, so let's look forward to it~
-qaq Can I ask if our Chaochao has chosen the group he wanted? Mom is really worried.
As soon as this one came out, several buildings within the building immediately emerged below it.
"I don't think I need to worry about the grouping. After all, I'm fifth!"
"What if the production team changes the rules? I can't make up my mind until the last second. Damn the production team!"
"Creation team, creation team, right? Creation team! I want to listen to the songs written by the baby himself!"
Comments came one after another, and it soon became the top trending topic. Xie Xiao had no choice but to reply to this post: I haven't heard that the rules are going to be changed. Xi Chao should have chosen the group he liked. He was very happy when he chose the group.
In an instant, the replies were drowned out by "ahh ...
Xie Xiao immediately replied to several messages from other members, and then fell into a brief dilemma.
The reason is simple:
There are a lot of comments, but they are basically asking the same person.
But it just so happened that the team leader had instructed this person not to give too much attention and material.
Xie Xiao felt a little pain in his temples.
She took her cell phone and planned to take a walk around the practice room to change her mood.
-
In fact, this is a very normal thing.
Generally speaking, the popularity of talent shows tends to snowball.
The fan circle of people like Ai Qingyuan, who had a high popularity at the beginning, has become stable. There are many questions, but because of his reputation as the Prince of Shenghong, ordinary fans don’t worry too much.
But Xie Xichao is different.
He is the contestant who has benefited the most from the stage in the three auditions. Whether judging from the usual comments or the atmosphere in the super topic, most of his fans are very active career fans.
New fans + career fans, plus...
Well, Xie Xiao thought, coupled with the deliberate suppression by the program team, it was normal that the popularity of the stage had exploded.
She doesn't hate Jie Xichao.
On the contrary, she quite likes this contestant.
As far as she knew, her colleagues mostly expressed admiration and regret when they mentioned Jie Xichao.
Compliment each other on their talents.
It’s a pity that the other party doesn’t have such a good family background.
In the entertainment industry, having a pair of parents who are respected for their academic and teaching abilities sounds nice, but it is obviously not as useful as being born into a wealthy family.
Xie Xiao himself also comes from an ordinary family.
She was disgusted by such flashy atmosphere, but she also knew that this was the reality.
Thinking of this, she softened her heart again and opened her phone again to read the comments from Jie Xichao's fans.
While watching, she walked towards the activity room.
Speaking of Jie Xichao, she remembered that she heard someone mention it today, saying that their group seemed to be having a meeting in the practice room today.
Driven by curiosity, she approached the familiar practice room.
There were several staff members standing at the door.
The expressions on several people's faces showed a kind of...
Stunned?
Xie Xiao:?
She couldn't help but took a few steps forward, and suddenly heard a burst of dense drum beats.
In an instant, her feet were nailed to the spot.
*
Compared to the staff outside the door, the trainees closest to the sound system in the room were obviously more affected.
The demo given by the program team was very short, but Xie Xichao's so-called "demo" was a full 30 seconds long, including almost all the highlights from the end of the main song to the chorus.
It is for this reason that the sound is even more shocking.
The first person to come to his senses was Xi Kai.
In fact, he has always trusted Jie Xichao, and at this moment he can almost be said to be excited.
He blurted out: "This sounds so good, Xi Chao!"
As he finished speaking, the rest of the people came back to their senses.
“It sounds nice!”
“It sounds really nice…”
"I just felt my scalp tingling, help me"
Zou Yi was the last one to come back to his senses.
He looked deeply at Li Xichao, with a touch of emotion in his eyes that he himself did not even notice: "Really."
"That sounds great." He whispered.
Xie Xichao was praised one after another, but there was no surprise on his face, as if he was used to it. There were several noises at the door. He looked up and found that some staff member had not stood firmly and the half-closed door was pushed open.
When their eyes met, the person at the door looked unusually embarrassed.
Xie Xichao said: "Do you want to come in?"
In fact, the camera next to it was filming all the time, but a single camera could only capture the whole scene.
"... Let's take some behind-the-scenes footage." The staff member finally eased the awkwardness, "You guys continue."
Xie Xichao nodded.
Then he said to the team members: "This is just an informal demo. We will adapt it into a form that is more suitable for our performance. If everyone thinks it's okay, we will decide on the song selection."
Most people immediately said they had no objection.
joke.
There is such a song.
Just the atmosphere alone can overwhelm the whole audience!
Xi Kai noticed that even Yang Yinping, who had expressed concern for him last night, now looked a little excited, but he was rather restrained and did not fully reveal it, as if he still wanted to remain reserved.
Only one person hesitated and spoke: "...It's a bit difficult, isn't it?"
Jie Xichao looked over there.
In addition to preparing songs last night, he also got to know his team members.
fruitful.
Now he recognized the member who had spoken, and put the name to the face.
Xia Xize.
He is also the weakest player in the group.
Xie Xichao pondered for a moment and gently explained, "I chose this song because it doesn't require dancing. The vocal part may be a little difficult, but compared to practicing both singing and dancing, I think this is the easiest mode."
Xia Xize paused for two seconds.
Of course he understands this...
Then, he heard Xie Xichao say: "But we agreed to discuss it. Since someone has raised an objection, why don't we just vote?"
-
It was Yun Pan who went to get the things again.
Compared to talking nonsense, he obviously prefers this method which does not require any thinking and can help Jie Xichao.
Xi Kai and Yang Yinping stood there bored, the latter looking normal, as if he had not read the message last night and not replied. Xi Kai also tactfully did not mention it, but just said, "The weather is nice today."
"Yes, it's not bad." Yang Yinping said, obviously in a good mood.
He paused and muttered, "Why do we have to vote again? I was thinking of going to the convenience store this afternoon."
He finds it troublesome.
Ever since the demo came out, he liked everything about Jie Xichao, and even felt sorry for him, whispering, "If you ask me, Xia Xize is a bit too much. He doesn't even need to dance. What else can he do? If I were Jie Xichao, I would just say that people with poor skills should just go to kindergarten and sing nursery rhymes. What's the point of this talent show?"
Xi Kai's mouth twitched.
Soon, Yun Pan prepared the note.
Several people voted again.
The result is obvious, 5:1.
Xia Xize's face didn't look good, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Next comes the part.
Because the demo had just come out, everyone naturally thought that Xie Xichao might not have had time to finish dividing the lyrics.
In fact, even at this stage, their efficiency is already terrifyingly high.
This is the creative team.
In the past, the creative teams might have spent several days just selecting the songs.
Because of Jie Xichao, they didn't know how much effort they saved.
Thinking of this, Xi Kai looked at Jie Xichao with admiration unconsciously.
He waited for the other party to announce the disbandment, but then he heard Xie Xichao say: "Next, let's discuss the division."
As soon as the words fell, the practice room suddenly became quiet.
After a moment, Zou Yi said hesitantly: "Xi Chao, have you divided it?"
"Yes." Xie Xichao said, "The lyrics are basically finalized. If there are any details that need to be adjusted, we can make fine adjustments. Didn't you just say it's a bit difficult? Everyone can start practicing early."
He pulled up the document.
Just like that, everyone sees the complete participle.
There are also each person’s name marked next to the participle.
Xie Xichao has already divided the words for everyone.
Just this one night.
*
To be fair.
Xi Kai thought.
This was indeed the most beautifully written word he had ever seen.
But, but.
He glanced at Yang Yinping standing beside him, and sure enough, the other person's face had turned ugly.
Of all the people, his words were the second to last.
The last one is Xia Xize.
Xia Xize was a man who couldn't hold back his temper, and he almost wanted to say something right away. Perhaps because he thought that this was a song written by Xie Xichao after all, and the camera was still on, he managed to control his tone:
"Can I ask how this is divided?"
As if waiting for him to say this, Xie Xichao spoke: "It's divided according to the effect."
"I asked the production team for your stage information last night," he said, "and assigned you parts based on your timbre and comfortable vocal range."
"Of course." He paused, "It's indeed not evenly distributed, so I'm putting it out there now to solicit your opinions."
His tone was frank.
Everyone present was silent.
Is the division between Jie Xichao and others appropriate?
If we put aside personal emotions and look at it from an objective perspective, it is quite appropriate.
This is a fact that Xia Xize himself has to admit.
But……
He thought again.
A talent show isn't just about talent, so why should he be ranked last in the part?
Although his ranking is not high, it is not the lowest in the group.
Xia Xize was unwilling.
Yang Yinping on the other side was equally unwilling.
His reluctance is even more justified.
It’s not that he can’t sing, and his ranking is not the lowest.
Why was he given the second to last part?
And at this moment, the two of them suddenly realized that they understood Xi Chao's usual pattern. The model that was just criticized has almost become a life-saving straw at this moment.
"How about voting?"
“Can we take a vote?”
Two voices sounded at the same time. After a moment, they looked at each other awkwardly, but for no reason they gained a little more confidence.
Just when Yang Yinping decided to argue his case, Xie Xichao spoke.
"Okay," he said.
-
When Xie Xichao uttered these two words, everyone present was stunned.
His tone was calm, and he even smiled: "The original intention was to solicit everyone's opinions. If there are different opinions, then of course the minority will obey the majority."
He turned to Yun Pan, "Pan Pan, please prepare some paper."
When he said this, the people present looked a little embarrassed.
Actually just now.
Xia Xize and Yang Yinping were not the only ones who were muttering in their hearts.
Except for Zou Yi, Yun Pan, and Xi Kai, everyone else has some subtle feelings in their hearts. Indeed, Xie Xichao was well prepared. Precisely because it is so complete, one cannot help but wonder if there is something fishy going on.
For example, did Xie Xichao have selfish motives and assign the most eye-catching part to himself? After all, this is his song, and only he knows the full picture of this song.
But their part distribution score is actually quite reasonable.
So they swallowed the subtlety.
At this moment, Xie Xichao's words indirectly proved that their guess was somewhat petty, and someone immediately felt embarrassed. Xia Xize's companion whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Xichao looked up at him and then smiled: "It's okay."
The paper has been distributed.
Everyone was busy writing their notes, and this time they were a little hesitant before putting pen to paper.
Only Zou Yi finished writing first and walked to Xichao's side.
"What time did you go to bed yesterday?" he asked in a low voice.
Xie Xichao was stunned for a moment: "You have finished writing?"
Zou Yi pursed his lips, and rarely responded to Xi Chao's words.
He is a man who seldom gets angry.
At this moment, the disapproval on his face was obvious.
Jie Xichao blinked.
"..." Zou Yi's face was tense, "Don't let Meng get away with it."
"Okay." Xie Xichao said neatly, "Half past twelve."
Actually it wasn’t that late.
Mainly for him, it was a journeyman job.
Zou Yi's expression finally eased a little.
He wanted to say something, but finally held it back, with a complicated expression.
He didn't speak just now.
It’s not that I think Jie Xichao is arbitrary, but I feel sorry for Jie Xichao.
In fact, even with such part distribution, Xie Xichao's weight is not the largest.
They haven't chosen C yet.
If we follow this kind of division, he, Jie Xichao and Yun Pan should be considered as the C group.
He could see that Jie Xichao had no selfish motives at all.
Therefore, it is not worth replacing Jie Xichao.
At the same time, he was somewhat confused.
I wonder why Jie Xichao just divided the parts and took them out. Obviously, generally speaking, the vocal teacher will make a rough division first, and then each student will choose their own part.
As if seeing his confusion, Xie Xichao suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
Zou Yi: “…”
"So suddenly?" He said helplessly, "You don't have to treat me to a meal even if you feel guilty."
"I've wanted to invite you for a long time." Xie Xichao explained, "I feel sorry for not joining your group in the first public session."
*
Although Zou Yi felt that Jie Xichao was not only getting away with it, but also suspected of compromising by buying him a meal, in the end, he still agreed to get along with Jie Xichao.
He is different from others.
He is four years older than Jie Xichao and treats Jie Xichao like a younger brother.
He also has a younger sister. She is not sick, but has a weak constitution, and her family has been worried about her since she was young.
Therefore, he sometimes felt sorry for Jie Xichao's tenacity.
While they were chatting, the voting results came out.
Two votes were in favor of the original proposal, three votes were against, and one vote was abstention.
When the abstention votes came up, Yun Pan paused for a moment, then immediately exploded, looking at Li Xichao to explain: "It's not me this time!"
Everyone: “…”
OK
I know it was you last time.
Xi Kai, who was not far away, turned his head away guiltily.
Yang Yinping glanced at him indifferently but said nothing.
The result came out, and there was nothing much to say. Xie Xichao said: "Then let's redistribute it now."
He sang the song a cappella and asked Yun Pan to mark the parts. Then it’s up to each person to choose. If there are repeated parts, the two people will discuss or vote.
I don’t know if it’s because the division into parts vaguely split the group into two teams, but there weren’t many votes.
In the end, the seven people's parts were divided as evenly as possible.
To everyone's surprise, in the end, everyone unanimously gave the largest part to Xichao. Obviously, if it is divided according to the original parts, it does not have that much weight.
Xie Xichao blinked and said, "Then I thank you all for your trust?"
Several people looked away uncomfortably.
Xie Xichao stood up and said, "Then let's stop here today."
"Oh, right." He said, "Because time is tight, I asked the program team to put our vocal class after the vocal group. I will finish the studio version for the individual in the next two days. I'll ask everyone to work hard in the next two days. The day before the vocal class, we will practice together again so that it will be easier to report to the teacher in the vocal class."
Everyone was stunned.
Generally speaking, the vocal lessons for the creative group are ranked last.
This can be considered as a consideration from the program team. After all, writing songs is not an easy task, so they try to give us more time.
But, think about it, the song is already out.
Everyone felt that this seemed reasonable, so they agreed and ended the recording.
-
In the evening, Zou Yi went to knock on Xichao's dormitory door.
A voice came faintly from inside: "Right away, brother, just come in."
Zou Yi pushed the door open and ran into Jie Xichao who had just changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom. He suddenly realized something: "Did you prepare the clothes for the recording during the day?"
"Yeah." Xie Xichao turned himself into a T-shirt queen again, "Since I'm on camera, I'd better be careful."
Zou Yi: “…”
"You are the most idol-conscious person I have ever met."
He said sincerely.
Jie Xichao smiled and followed him out the door.
The night breeze on the road was very cool. He reached out to catch a handful of it. Looking up at the sunset, he looked more youthful.
He looks like he's in a good mood.
In contrast, Zou Yi's mood was somewhat affected by what happened in the afternoon. As if seeing his thoughts, Xie Xichao said, "Brother, are you going to ask me why I am so anxious to take out the parts?"
Being seen through, Zou Yi didn't bother to be polite and said directly: "Yeah."
"You're easy to offend people if you do this." He weighed his words carefully.
Xie Xichao paused: "Then?"
Zou Yi was speechless.
……really.
It seems like I have offended someone, but there are no objective consequences.
After all, no matter how many conflicts there are offstage, the performance is a chance for everyone to gain fans, no one will treat it lightly, and everyone will do their best.
When I think about it this way, it doesn’t seem to matter.
"I'll give the parts," Xie Xichao said, "because this is my song, and I'm the person who knows it best in the world."
Zou Yi was stunned.
Then, he realized that it was Jie Xichao who was explaining to him.
Explain why.
"Did you notice the part I originally assigned to you?" Xie Xichao smiled, "The highest key in that sentence is just the limit of your comfort zone. If you go any higher, there is a 50% chance that you will break your voice on stage."
Zou Yi was stunned.
He stopped unconsciously and heard Jie Xichao ask him: "Brother, do you think the teacher can be so detailed?"
……impossible.
Zou Yi thought.
Not to mention that their vocal teachers cannot actually fully understand the vocal characteristics of each of their voices. Even if they could, it would not be possible to be so detailed, let alone divide it into sentences.
"The words I assigned to them," Xie Xichao said calmly, "are indeed the most suitable words for them."
Zou Yi was silent.
At this point, there is nothing he cannot understand.
But……
He pursed his dry lips, a little annoyed: "I should have advised her."
Xie Xichao was stunned for a moment: "What do you want to persuade?"
Zou Yi heard the hidden meaning in his words and was shocked: "You knew they wouldn't agree?"
Xie Xichao was also shocked: "Brother, do you think they will agree?"
Zou Yi: “…”
He was a little embarrassed: "I'm not..."
Xie Xichao:.
"Brother." He sighed, "The selfless personality is not good."
He said to Zou Yi seriously, "Besides me, if anyone tries to persuade you to accept it with the least amount of effort, you must refuse. At least give it a try before making a decision."
After all, in talent shows, people like him who can actually divide parts are the exception.
The vast majority of them are using their authority as captains to behave like hooligans.
Zou Yi calmed down.
Xie Xichao turned around, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously: "Brother, in competitive programs, it is never shameful to fight for yourself. Everyone's dream is a dream, and when everyone's fans love their idols, they love them wholeheartedly, and they only have him in their eyes. No matter how outstanding others are."
He paused, "I also have selfish motives. I hope that the songs I write will have the best stage effects. But this will inevitably sacrifice the interests of some people.
So, I give them a chance to try. ”
Don't turn back until you hit the wall.
Anyone who has come this far will be content without hitting a wall.
Who is willing to be a cannon fodder to set off others all his life?
"If they can really do it well." Xie Xichao said, "That's their ability. If they can't do it well, they will come to me. And the guarantee I can give them is-"
He paused and uttered three words, "First place."
The group that wins first place in the competition will receive 200,000 additional votes.
This is Jie Xichao’s reward.
He is a fair man.
Never owe anyone anything.
