Chapter 54
All the members of Group A of the creative team, which were about to fall apart, were put together again by Jie Xichao's words.
It turns out that the power of language can be so strong.
Xia Xize thought so as he walked onto the stage in the dark and stood in the designated position.
Because of one person's words, those emotions that were as turbulent as the tide were completely calmed down. He never thought that he would be so calm when he actually stood on the performance stage.
Looking at the cheering audience, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
And the other side of him.
Jie Xichao adjusted his headset and nodded calmly to the band teacher beside him. The other party received the signal they had communicated and made an OK gesture to him.
Then he withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.
The audience who didn't know the truth was still cheering, and the next moment, a clear "click" suddenly rang in their ears.
Everyone was stunned for a second.
Then, they discovered—
It is light.
Seven beams of light slanted down from the top of the head from different angles, accompanied by sound effects, like sharp blades breaking through the air. In the beam of light in the air, the light source illuminates the tiny dust particles floating in the air, which is like a dream.
In addition to the top light, there are many side lights of varying sizes around the stage.
The side light is like flowing water, the light and shadow change, gradually changing from dazzling white to glowing blue.
In this rippling sea of light, three large characters written in sharp strokes and immersed in the background sea water slowly appeared on the big screen behind:
"The Infinite Sea".
There were murmurs of surprise on the field.
"Ah...it's my own composition."
"The Endless Sea, what a beautiful name, and the setting is also beautiful."
“Will it be lyrical?”
But, as the light gradually becomes clearer. The whispers gradually turned into increasingly enthusiastic cheers. And as the person in the center appeared completely in front of everyone, the cheers immediately reached their peak.
The lines outline the clear contours from the side of the face to the chin, and the delicate and fair face in my memory is dotted with thick ink.
Above the light-colored lips and high nose bridge are a pair of indifferent and cold eyes like a deep pool. The fine gleam at the end of the eyes looks like twinkling stars under the light.
This is a face so perfect that even light favors it.
The girl in the front row screamed softly: "Oh, so handsome..."
Her companion was no longer able to speak, but held her hand tightly, fearing that she would not be able to hold back and scream along with him.
After just a few seconds, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
She is not a fan of Jie Xichao.
Of course, she is also a loyal viewer of the show.
Everyone in the world knows how good-looking Xie Xichao is. Some people describe his wink as the sweetest but not greasy smoothie in a summer beverage shop, which is refreshing and beautiful.
but……
At this moment, he was not smiling.
On the contrary, his eyes were indifferent, and coupled with his cool makeup, he almost looked arrogant.
Xie Xichao is recognized as the god of camera.
Someone once did a special statistics and found that he has not missed a single shot since his first stage performance. As long as the camera is pointed at him, he can adjust his state in the first second.
And at the moment when the camera on the stage was pointed at him, he raised his eyes slightly.
It was at this moment that someone suddenly realized that he was holding a black electric guitar with a metallic luster in his hand.
The guitar is printed with intricate and bold prints.
On the bizarre pattern, the white and slender fingers tapped twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
0.1 seconds after the crisp sound reached everyone's ears, dense drum beats and electric guitar sounds exploded.
There is no lengthy pre-swing, no long and soothing introduction——
No one expected that this song "The Endless Sea", which is very lyrical from its name to its stage style, would bring the audience to a climax in just three seconds in an extremely violent way.
However, this is not the end.
It's just a beginning.
-
When Lu Yan walked from the backstage to the front of the audience area, the entire audience area was already in an unprecedented carnival.
The boy in the T-shirt hit the guitar with his chain to the rhythm, making a crisp sound, but no one cared. He sat on the edge of the stage, one leg casually bent, and sang a song he had written.
As he sang a line, he passed the microphone toward the audience.
And in the past minute and a half, the audience had actually learned the lyrics of the song and were following along perfectly.
The original performance was forcibly turned into a concert.
And Xie Xichao is almost the most reserved one on the stage.
He was responsible for almost half of the high notes in the whole song. Even the long and almost tearing tail notes had a hoarse and lazy tone in his voice, just like the lyrics of the song "the scorching sun burns in the sea water".
The extreme melody is suppressed into a formed tune, and the edge of the explosion is overflowing with emotions, just like the blood and dreams wrapped in the cold sea water.
This is a song about myself.
It seems like he is the protagonist of the story, but he is not just the protagonist.
She saw that on the stage, the usually timid little boy directly pulled out the microphone embedded in the microphone;
She saw the carefree boy in the past singing with red eyes, his eyes were full of reluctance and unwillingness to leave the stage;
With a delicate and deep mind, he threw away everything and knelt on the stage and screamed;
The elegant and restrained hand holding the microphone revealed faint blue veins;
Cynical, he pressed the earphone, trying to stay calm, but still closed his eyes and gasped during the interlude;
Someone walked up to Jie Xichao, put his arm around his shoulders tightly, and sat down next to him.
They sang:
Before the waters flooded the world,
Please meet me.
No one knows why Jie Xichao wrote such a song.
In this song, the sun is burning fiercely, the stars are falling into the sea from the distant sky, the world is falling into a long sleep, and all you can see is the endless sea.
It is the last invitation before the end of the world.
It is also the true voice of all the eliminated trainees present.
For half of the people present, it was the last time they would see their fans.
The sea flooded the world.
They faded quietly from the memory of their fans.
After several years, perhaps no one will remember the idol they once chased, and the meaning of this song is——
Let time stay at this moment.
This moment.
You and I meet.
*
Xie Xichao felt very hot and his heart was beating wildly.
It had been a long time since he had performed on stage so intensely. He could hardly hear any sound from the outside world and could only hear his own heartbeat like a drum in his ears. When it was over he was on his hands and knees, gasping for breath.
When Zou Yimai stepped down from the stage, he didn't even bother to pick it up, and walked straight to him and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Jie Xichao waved at him and just shook his head.
After a moment, he exhaled and stood up: "It's okay."
The voice is hoarse.
When he just got off the stage, the audience was all shouting "Encore". The cheers were so loud that the whole venue seemed to be shaking. Jie Xichao had no choice but to say a few words to comfort them, but he almost couldn't utter the first sentence.
He overestimated his physical abilities.
After a long while, he finally found his voice and said, "Thank you, everyone."
Then: "If you like it, remember to vote."
No one noticed his gaffe, and his appearance was projected on the big screen.
The handsome boy was still breathing heavily, the neckline of his T-shirt was a little loose, revealing his beautiful deep collarbone. The slight sweat on his collarbone made him look wild and sexy. All his facial expressions were used to control himself from showing too much pain. In the eyes of the audience, it was Jie Xichao's rare cold face.
His cold face was also incredibly handsome, and he looked calm and composed with his eyes slightly lowered. As she spoke, she had colorful rings on her bony fingers, and the chain slid from her wrist to her elbow.
The lens zooms in, and every part of the body is full of provocative hormones.
But he himself was unaware of it, and his voice had returned to its rare harmless and gentle tone. Even when canvassing for votes, there was a polite request in his voice. The extreme contrast made the fans go crazy on the spot.
As soon as he finished speaking, a buddy in the audience immediately shouted: "I'll give you 100 votes! Brother Chao, I love you!!!"
So the enthusiasm that had nowhere to be expended turned into overwhelming ridicule. The girl next to him collapsed and yelled, "Ahhh, I don't allow it! Teacher Xiao Chao is mine! Let me confess first!"
That's how they almost got into a fight.
Thinking of the ridiculous scene just now, Zou Yi smiled, with a sigh in his smile, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"The Expanse" eventually went through several adaptations, and the one released now is the most intense one.
In the most original version, the protagonist is just an ordinary person who watches the sunset alone on the beach before the end of the world. As the last human left in the world before the catastrophe, a more appropriate emotion to describe him than anger is emotion and calm despair.
The farewell of the last human being in the world to all living things was adapted into an interaction between idols and fans, and despair was changed into a rush at the last moment.
This is Xie Xichao’s idea.
He really is responsible for every single person on the team, just as he said, allowing fans to truly empathize with their current situation and trying his best to get every vote from fans for the members of the team.
Even if this would cause him to exert greater physical energy and be more mentally and physically exhausted.
It is precisely because of this realization that everyone cooperates with him so well.
If you still act pretentiously even when the food is right in front of you, that is not just being pretentious, it is pure ingratitude.
Xie Xichao was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay."
Zou Yi didn't say anything else and helped him back to the lounge.
As soon as I entered the door, everyone looked over at once, and most people's eyes were filled with complexities and emotions.
Except for the next team.
Ji Yan's group was the unlucky one who was drawn to the next group.
He was almost worried to death. When he passed by Jie Xichao, he sighed loudly: "Brother, aren't you pitting your half-brother?"
Who would be able to watch a performance like this one?
Xie Xichao comforted him absentmindedly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay."
"All the same."
When people are tired, they can't help but tell the truth.
He meant, no matter if they were the first or second behind.
The order is the same either way.
When they finish this performance, it will be almost the end of today's performance. The performance behind the scenes is already underway, but after returning, it will not leave much impression in the minds of the audience present today.
Ji Yan: “…”
I really want to beat up his brother on behalf of the general public.
But when she saw Jie Xichao's pale face, the pain turned into pity.
He hurriedly threw the backpack that Jie Xichao had asked him to keep to him, said, "Let's go," and went to the waiting room.
Sitting in his seat, Jie Xichao opened his backpack.
The little dice rubbed his palm.
He smiled, and his noisy heartbeat finally calmed down.
At this time, the score table popped up on the screen.
First, it’s personal distribution.
With such a combination, there is no doubt that the individual score is first. Among the 500 audience members, 276 people gave Li Xichao a thumbs up. Ranking second was Yun Pan, who received 98 votes.
He is indeed the most outstanding among the remaining people.
Although there was a big gap, Yun Pan was still very happy.
The rest of the people were not surprised to see their vote counts.
joke.
Who can grab the ticket from Jie Xichao?
Not getting 0 votes is already a contribution to poverty alleviation by this audience.
What they are most concerned about is the group tickets.
The rules for group tickets are simple. The audience has a vote for every show. If they think the stage is worthy of their vote, they will press the voting button.
In fact, this can easily lead to inflated vote counts, as people who are philanthropic or soft-hearted will vote in every race.
Therefore, what we are actually striving for is the scores of those who truly give objective scores.
It stands to reason that even if the votes are out, it is still difficult to say whether it will be the first place in the end, but everyone in the creative group A has a solemn expression. They all have a very, very strange premonition in their hearts -
On the screen, after the personal table is displayed, it quickly jumps to the latest page.
At this moment, in order to facilitate recording, the large screen outside is also synchronized in real time.
Everyone in the waiting room, all the audience members, and Dou Yu who was hosting the show on stage all watched the number of votes on the screen rise rapidly and finally stop at a certain number.
497.
The whole audience was silent.
500 spectators.
497 people voted for "The Expanse".
In the lounge, Xia Xize covered his mouth in disbelief and pinched the back of Mu Wen's hand beside him. Mu Wen pushed him with disgust and helplessness, but found that it didn't work, so he also became dazed. Outside the stadium, cheers as overwhelming as the ocean waves rang out again.
Amid the huge wave that seemed to be drowning, Jie Xichao breathed a sigh of relief.
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell at this moment.
He kept his promise and fulfilled his commitment to everyone.
