Chapter 6
Ai Qingyuan also did not feel any psychological fluctuations when listening to Dou Yu giving him chicken soup.
It wasn't that he had the same idea as Jie Xichao. For him, the reason for not wanting to listen was very simple:
No need.
Many people think he is lazy, but in fact he started learning to dance as soon as he could walk, and he is much more diligent in this regard than 99% of people.
In his opinion, all those who don't work hard and have no talent can be collectively called waste and should change their careers as soon as possible. Dou Yu's nagging preaching is totally unnecessary.
When he heard Sheng Hong's name, he stood up.
Standing up together were Sheng Hong's other trainees.
They were all wearing the same style of stage costumes today, in black and white. Of course, the one who designed the most attentively and conspicuously among them was naturally Ai Qingyuan. In addition, there were two other talented trainees who were also dressed very prominently.
Several people stood in a row on the stage and greeted in unison. At first glance, their momentum overwhelmed all the groups in front.
Dou Yu paused for a moment while holding the microphone, then smiled: "Should I avoid suspicion in this group?"
This one sentence directly pointed out that he was also an artist of Shenghong, and he didn't shy away from it.
Li Lin on the side asked: "Has Teacher Dou ever dealt with the younger generations?"
"We met a few times in the practice room." Dou Yu said, "but we didn't chat much."
"Then we can have a good chat today." Li Lin smiled.
After the brief conversation, the lights on the stage dimmed, and Sheng Hong's trainees formed up for the opening performance. Soon, the accompaniment began to sound.
Almost at the moment when the accompaniment sounded, many trainees in the field raised their heads in surprise.
"Did I hear it right? The tune is..."
"...'Serious Illness'?"
"It's Teacher Dou's debut song "Serious Illness"! Oh my go!"
Almost as soon as these words were uttered, the place was in an uproar.
In the mentor seat, Dou Yu looked at the young boy in front of him who was standing still with sharp eyes. Finally, there was a bit of genuine appreciation in his usually calm eyes.
-
"Chen Zai" is the debut song of the current top idol Dou Yu. It was produced by Sheng Hong, and the lyrics and music were written by the best producers in the country. The song has an intense style, coupled with vigorous dancing, making it a perfect idol song.
Dou Yu was able to debut as a solo artist. He is good at vocal, rap and dance, but he is more of a vocal player. When "Chen Illness" topped the daily music charts for nearly 160 days, it was mostly due to the song's excellent and catchy melody, as well as the difficult but silky-smooth transition techniques.
Sheng Hong made drastic changes to this song.
The original solo dance was changed to a group dance, but there was no sign of incongruity in the formation or movement.
On the contrary, the average dancing ability of Sheng Hong's trainees is so high that the complex formation changes look pleasing to the eye, making the performances of the previous groups of trainees look a bit like kindergarten games.
The dense drum accompaniment resounded throughout the stage. Everyone was silent, and when it came to the most difficult transition part of the chorus, everyone held their breath.
The dance is very strong...and it looks like the adaptation is also excellent. So what about the vocals that Sheng Hong has always lacked?
Someone had moved to the center without anyone noticing.
The moment he held the headset and raised his eyes, everyone was shocked.
"The chorus is... Ai Qingyuan will take over."
Someone murmured.
The next second, the boy's voice, which was a little hoarse and cold due to the intense dance, sounded, and without the slightest hesitation, he accurately cut into the accompaniment.
The performance ended and the whole audience was silent.
Xie Xichao, who was sitting at the highest seat, let out a regretful "tsk" and took another sip of water.
*
When the song ended, Ai Qingyuan had no expression on his face, but his teammates around him all looked excited.
After practicing for a long time, this time the stage presentation was almost perfect, which is an exceptional performance for a formal performance.
The mentor did not disappoint the crowd, and he shook off his previous coldness and reserve, praising the students repeatedly.
Among them, Ni Xin was particularly excited.
In the mentor's praise, in addition to Ai Qingyuan, he was also mentioned. Although it was just a sentence "the voice is very good", it was enough to excite Ni Xin.
He didn't want to admit that he was afraid of losing, especially losing to someone he looked down upon. These words at least proved his strength.
Have strength. It is ten thousand times more noble than some sickly vase.
He raised his head proudly and listened to the instructor announce the final grade.
"Then I will be responsible for announcing the final grade." Qiu Xuerui took the microphone. "Since Teacher Dou took the initiative to avoid suspicion, the final result was reached by me, Teacher Lan, and Linlin after discussion."
She first reported two names, and then said, "These two are rated C."
Immediately afterwards, Ni Xin heard his name.
"Trainee Ni Xin." Qiu Xuerui said, "Your rating is B."
Ni Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not the company's main supporter and he had never expected to get an A. B was the expected result for him. Moreover, this result has already surpassed a large number of trainees present.
He thanked him and then looked up triumphantly.
When he first saw Jie Xichao sitting in the C position, he was shocked.
But now, the joy of victory began to swell in his heart.
So what if I sit high?
Without strength, you will just be a clown.
He was already immersed in complacency, and had even begun to imagine what he would say when he asked Jie Xichao to get out of the dormitory, without noticing that Ai Qingyuan's level had also been revealed.
Not surprisingly, Ai Qingyuan's grade was A.
Although everyone present was envious, no one was dissatisfied. After all, Ai Qingyuan's strength was indeed there. Especially, when they heard that he had choreographed the dance himself, everyone was filled with admiration.
But he himself didn't look happy.
He was the team leader, and when he went to get the level list as a representative, Dou Yu stopped him.
"She dances very well and sings well," Dou Yu said gently, "but she needs to practice her breathing when dancing. There's no rush. Just practice consciously and you'll be fine."
Ai Qingyuan's face became even uglier.
No one noticed, or if they did, no one cared.
He just trembled when he was singing the chorus transition.
twice.
-
Ai Qingyuan returned to his seat. He is a perfectionist, and this mistake is a thorn in his side.
The performance started again on the stage, but he couldn't concentrate on it at all. There was no opponent for him here. He knew that his opponent was at a higher position, such as Dou Yu who was sitting in the mentor seat.
He heard a slight sound behind him, turned around and found that the people behind him were playing dice.
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
This guy is three years old and he still plays with toys while waiting for a performance.
He said, "What's thrown out again?"
Xie Xichao didn't expect him to speak up. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, just play around."
Ai Qingyuan sneered.
Just now, you just played it so casually and took his place, right?
Xie Xichao observed his expression and comforted him: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you shake while singing once. Just practice more and you'll be fine. Don't worry."
Ai Qingyuan:?
no? ? ?
"Who the hell is in a hurry!" he blurted out.
The volume of this sentence was not controlled, so that the people around looked over silently.
Ai Qingyuan finally reacted and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He doesn't care whether the sound is recorded or not, because it will be cut out later anyway.
But, Xie Xichao?
"Okay, no rush." Jie Xichao sighed.
Why are the kids nowadays so hypocritical?
Even with such a compromising tone, Ai Qingyuan's expression did not improve.
He suddenly realized that his defense was broken just because of Jie Xichao's words.
This is certainly not because Jie Xichao is so special, but because the other party pointed out his weakness in one sentence.
Ai Qingyuan closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
At this moment, the ratings on the stage were over again. Dou Yu picked up the microphone and said, "The next group, um... this is an individual trainee. Trainee Xie Xichao, is he here?"
Ai Qingyuan opened his eyes. Behind him, Jie Xichao had already stood up. The whole place fell silent.
*
Although, after knowing Jie Xichao's amateur identity and his past experiences, most people have already classified him as someone who is just using his face to gain popularity, but...
If you really want to talk about curiosity, it is impossible not to be curious.
That's the C position out of the top 100. To be able to rate himself as the C position, is he really that confident? Or do you just ignore it for the sake of popularity?
Everyone has their own guesses.
And the moment Jie Xichao's name was called, Ji Yan, who had just relaxed after the performance, became nervous again.
His thoughts returned to that afternoon again.
-
When Ji Yan saw the Excel spreadsheet in front of him and the contents in the spreadsheet, he froze.
After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Brother, you know all these...?"
Xie Xichao looked at his expression. For some reason, his expression was subtle for a moment, and then he said, "Yeah, I understand a little bit."
Ji Yan swore that his brother definitely wanted to nod and say "Yes, I know all that."
He took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.
This is the benefit of Jie Xichao seeking Ji Yan’s reference.
After spending so many days together, he had already realized that Ji Yan was a careless but thoughtful person. For example, he almost never pried into other people's secrets.
As expected, Ji Yan had a look of astonishment on his face, but he still said, "Brother, then choose the one you prepared... and show it to me?"
Xie Xichao stood up.
He was really thin and his face was always sickly pale. But this is already the luckiest situation. The cases of vegetative patients regaining consciousness are extremely rare. Moreover, the report mentioned that after Xie Xichao woke up, his organs and nerves did not suffer any serious damage, and he was even able to perform simple movements just three months after waking up. This surprised the entire medical community.
In fact, Ji Yan thought that what Ni Xin said was partly right.
His brother is indeed not suitable to be an idol. Perhaps, it would be a more appropriate choice for him to study mathematics in college and enjoy the rest of his life in peace and stability, just like before.
All these wild thoughts came to an abrupt end after he watched Jie Xichao's performance again.
Xie Xichao turned off the accompaniment and asked, "What do you think?"
Ji Yan was silent for a long time, then said, "Brother."
"Thank you for coming down to earth to help the poor." He said seriously.
In fact, in Ji Yan's heart, every stage performed by Jie Xichao, no matter whether he is good enough to be in a boy group or not, has reached an impeccable level. But in the end, it was Jie Xichao who was dissatisfied with himself.
He said, “I’ll think about it.”
Ji Yan said, "We can think about other things, but don't you think this is not okay?"
The stage that Xie Xichao had just shown him was a pure singing and dancing stage. It was very traditional, with singing and dancing, with a short rap in the middle. The song was a very popular boy band song, and he couldn't find any fault with it at all.
But Xie Xichao said: "It's not very stable."
Ji Yan understood what he meant.
"But." He didn't know what to say, "Brother, you are already very stable. It is impossible to be perfect when singing and dancing with the microphone on. Besides..."
Moreover, his brother's condition was special, and it would be too harsh to ask him to keep his breathing steady at this time.
Xie Xichao didn't say anything, but just treated him to a meal that night.
*
Until now, Ji Yan finally understood why Xi Chao was so picky about him.
There is a price to pay for sitting in the C position. As strong as Ai Qingyuan is, it can be said that he is confident sitting in that position. If anyone else dared to do this, there would only be two reasons.
First, I really have the ability, so I am not afraid of challenges. Second, I want to be famous.
Because when your strength does not match your position, it is easy to appear arrogant, and most star-chasing girls admire strong people, which is equivalent to experiencing a failure at the beginning, which will greatly affect your chances of attracting fans.
This is also the reason why no one present did so.
Based on Ji Yan's understanding of Jie Xichao, he obviously wouldn't want to go the black and red route.
So……
He just has to do his best.
But.
Ji Yan was worried.
His brother, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, would definitely not allow himself to go on stage with a stage that he is not satisfied with.
What should he do?
This is what Ji Yan has been worried about since he entered the scene.
If Jie Xichao could hear his inner voice, he would definitely say those words again, "Ji Yan, don't become a father at such a young age."
But he doesn't have the ability, nor does he have the time right now.
When he stood up from his seat, he felt the stiffness in his shoulders and neck. He felt helpless about the fragility of his original body, and once again reminisced about his lost system body. Then, he stood on the stage.
"Xie Xichao." Dou Yu read his name word by word, "It's a nice name."
Xie Xichao guessed that this part of his story would most likely be cut, but he still responded seriously: "Yeah. My parents named it that."
He paused and smiled, "Because my mother gave birth to me in the early morning, she thought this had a good meaning, so she gave me this name."
From night to day, when we are born, we are greeted by the rising sun which represents hope.
Dou Yu understood: "They love you very much."
Xie Xichao said, "Yes."
Dou Yu was just running around to announce things, so naturally he wouldn't go into detail about each contestant's past, nor would he understand how much meaning this "yes" had.
He has been waiting for four years and has never given up. He knows very well how much his parents love him.
After a brief chat about family matters, Dou Yu returned to the main topic: "Trainee Jie Xichao, I just saw that when you were choosing your seat, you chose the center position. Can you tell us why you made such a choice?"
Xie Xichao paused for a moment.
He did not take out the dice as a joke, but said calmly:
"Because I feel that of all the positions, that's the only one I'm suitable for."
