Chapter 87
This barrage quickly passed by.
Although its value is close to prophecy, at this moment, more attention is paid to the ranking.
After publishing a few more key words, Dou Yu announced the results.
The fourth place is indeed Yun Pan.
The boy was wearing a blue and white sweatshirt, linen pants and a beret today. He looked fresh and youthful from head to toe. He hugged the brothers on the stage one by one, and then carefully stepped onto the long transparent steps covered with flower petals.
The moment he stepped on it, the small fireworks around him suddenly exploded.
He was startled, looked up, and saw a seat illuminated by lights not far away.
All positions are empty.
And there, there was a place that already belonged to him.
The moment this fact appeared in his mind, his heart beat uncontrollably faster. A sudden feeling of nervousness came over him, and he almost had to walk on his hands and feet the few steps from the long steps to the small round platform at the end for speaking.
When he reached the end of the road, he picked up the microphone and took a deep breath: "...Thank you everyone."
The boy's voice is still a little childish.
There was a tremor in his voice, but it was more firm than ever before.
"Thank you for allowing me to debut as the fourth place." He tried hard to organize his words, speaking slowly and clearly, "Without you, there would be no Yunpan today."
He never thought this day would come.
In that dark and dilapidated home, in the bustling but eventually deserted bar, and when I just stepped into the recording venue of "Super Rookie".
He no longer remembered the weather that day.
But today, when he came, he raised his head and saw the clear sky above his head.
For Yun Pan, most of his fans have the mentality of mother fans.
Although his ranking has been stable since the second public performance, his positioning just now really scared his fans. At this moment, the screen was full of "wuwuwu".
[Wow, baby, finally the bitterness has ended and the sweetness has come]
[Congratulations Panpan, you should thank yourself, your stage performance was really great, you are a mature adult now]
[I was so scared... I finally made my debut. I will walk on a flowery path in the future, Panpan baby~]
Amidst all the blessings, the boy thanked the company and the program crew with a little hesitation. He has no family. When it came to this part of the thanks, he paused for two seconds and then said:
"I don't know if you are watching the show, but, Brother Su, Brother Cheng, Yueyue, thank you. And please don't worry, Yun Pan who needed your protection has grown up."
He doesn't know how he is doing now, and his former brothers in the band know much about it.
But if they were watching, he wanted to make it his way to have them participate in one of the most important moments of his life.
He has grown up. I have learned to look forward and move forward.
so.
Stop worrying about him.
He is living well now.
besides--
"Thank you." He paused for two seconds.
【Coming】
[He is here, he is here with his final thanks]
[The director is so understanding, he actually switched the broadcast to me, our best brother in the world, Teacher Xiao Chao, hahahaha]
At this moment, the audience also responded by booing.
Most of the people who will come to the scene are old fans who have followed the show from beginning to end. Even if you are not a fan of Yun Pan, you know about the bullying incident and live broadcast incident that caused a sensation.
Yun Pan was a little nervous at first, but when he heard the “Oh~~~” sounds from the audience, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Not too many pretentious words.
"Brother Xichao." He said seriously and simply, "I'll wait for you upstairs."
After saying this, he put down the microphone and waved vigorously towards the other side of the bridge. Then he turned around, walked up step by step, and finally sat down in the fourth place.
-
Third place, Fu Wenzhe.
Compared to Yun Pan, whose ranking of fourth place has fluctuated, Fu Wenzhe's ranking in the later period can be said to be stable, second only to Jie Xichao, and he even reached second place at one point.
Amid the cheers of the audience, he calmly walked to the podium.
"Thank you everyone," he said.
【You're welcome……】
[Honestly, what should we do if the revelations about Brother Fu’s past come out and he looks even more like a big boss?]
[Big brother but younger brother-loving, the contrast is cute here]
During the finals week, all the information, big and small, about everyone was dug up. The media is immoral. Fu Wen Ze's past deeds were still exposed. He was just a gangster who got involved in street fights, and there were photos of him.
But his company Star World was really reliable, and once they figured it out, they revealed his family situation.
Although Fu Wen Ze's privacy was sacrificed, at least the public opinion on the Internet changed immediately.
Although the results of the behaviors are similar, there is a big difference between simply fighting and protecting family members.
Fu Wen Ze had some complaints, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, his agent really cares about him and has a good relationship with him. His brother is semi-taken care of by the company, so he is relatively safe.
That was why his tone was unusually serious when he thanked the company.
This is also a person without family or friends.
Fu Wenze thought for a moment and raised his eyes: "Jie Xichao."
Xie Xichao, who was not far away, said: "..."
The audience at the scene and in the comments: "..."
[So what kind of grudges and hatred does this person have with our Chao Chao?]
[It’s so funny... We are climbing to the top and flirting with other girls at the same time, right, Jie Xichao! Reflection! 】
Xie Xichao didn't reflect on himself, and Fu Wenzhe didn't want him to reflect on himself. He just said very calmly: "Thank you, I wouldn't be standing here without you."
This sentence sounds concise and even a little surprising.
But after the previous conversation, they both knew what this sentence meant.
It was Jie Xichao who made him understand the meaning of idol.
Fu Wenzhe is not a talkative person, and he ended his speech with this sentence. He turned his head and saw Yun Pan had already stood up.
The stern-faced young man in black strode up, hugged the boy on the stage, and then sat down in the third place.
At this point in the ranking, there are only three positions left.
At this moment, the barrage and the scene were already getting excited.
On the stage, Dou Yu picked up the microphone, but did not announce the candidate for the C position first. Instead, he cue Xi Chao: "Xi Chao."
"How do you feel about being thanked twice in a row?" he asked with a smile.
This is what sets the mood.
At this moment, the tense atmosphere both on the scene and in the comments has reached its peak. Xie Xichao picked up the microphone and smiled: "Thank you all for your kindness."
He was in really good form tonight.
Whenever the camera cuts to him, the barrage of comments would start to howl like a wolf.
The makeup on his face makes him look more fragile besides being beautiful, but his solo, his words and actions show that he is an extremely strong and tough person.
Almost half of the people at the scene came for him.
At this moment, no one was interested in listening to Xie Xichao's speech. They just stared at Dou Yu nervously. Even the comments on the forum started to urge the process to proceed impatiently after making a few jokes.
And Dou Yu did not disappoint everyone.
After a brief chat, he paused for two seconds and said, "Now, let's announce the candidates for the C position."
"Trainee Xie Xichao, trainee Ai Qingyuan," he said, "please step out."
The two walked out amid screams from the scene.
No parachuting, no dark horse. The battle for the top position has now been settled and will be decided between these two people.
-
After a brief silence, Dou Yu asked, "Who wants to speak first?"
The C position announces the usual process and the candidates give their speeches.
The two looked at each other, and Ai Qingyuan shrugged: "I'll go first."
He has relaxed now.
For him, the mission would be accomplished as long as he doesn't suddenly fall out of the debut position. As for the C position, the only difference is whether it is announced or not. He wasn't so stupid as to think he could beat Fault C.
In fact, everyone has already guessed the result, except for the last step.
If he wanted to speak first, Jie Xichao would naturally not compete with him. He smiled and put down the microphone temporarily.
Ai Qingyuan picked up the microphone and paused for two seconds: "What are you talking about?"
[Pfft, it's you as expected]
[You haven't thought about your debut speech yet, have you? 】
[It sounds outrageous, but it makes sense when it comes to aqy. He wouldn't really have missed this process, right? Hahahahaha]
As if he could guess what the audience was thinking, Ai Qingyuan smiled: "What are you thinking about?"
"I did prepare it," he said, "but it felt too formal and didn't quite fit my personality, so I decided to improvise."
【Can】
[I feel like I’ve grown up. Although I still like to say shocking things, I’m not as annoying as before.]
"Jie Xichao." Ai Qingyuan said.
Xie Xichao: “…”
This time he had the microphone, and he said simply: "Not here."
Ai Qingyuan:?
[I laughed so hard I wanted to die]
[North Korea: Stop cueing, stop cueing, people are fooled by cues]
【North: What on earth did I do to make you guys keep thinking about it? I will change it】
If it was the Ai Qingyuan from the beginning, he would have been so angry that he would have laughed again. But he had been hanging out with Jie Xichao for several months after all, so he calmly answered the question while holding the microphone: "It's good that you're not here, let me tell you something you can't listen to."
【? ? ? ? ? 】
[Please put away your lewd words]
He paused: "Actually, I hated you at first."
Jie Xichao tilted his head to look at him, guessed what he was going to say, and suddenly smiled. The atmosphere in the hall, which had been in an uproar because of his words, also quieted down.
Ai Qingyuan raised his head and looked into the distance.
He was not looking at anything, but just staying at a certain point in the void.
Then he continued: "It's not so much that I hate you, it's more that I hate myself for not being able to compare to you."
"I have always been a person who cannot stand losing since I was a child," he said quietly. "No matter what I do, I just want to get first place. I think this is a proof of my ability. Apart from that, I don't care about anything else."
But winning or losing is not the only important thing in life.
And what he calls winning or losing is also someone building bridges and paving the way for him, so that he can step onto the highest step.
He didn't understand this truth before and always thought he was the best in the world. However, so many firsts, so much praise and flattery did not bring him much happiness.
Until the important person left, until he finally became second.
He finally realized that no one can be invincible. What he should do most is to enjoy life and cherish what he has gained.
"Now I understand." He smiled, "I am very lucky. And my efforts have been rewarded."
He paused and finished the last sentence, "Thank you my fans. Without you, I would not be able to stand here and be a candidate for the C position. All along, because of some of my words and deeds, you have also suffered troubles. Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, my family." He raised the corner of his mouth. "I don't know if you are watching. Don't worry about me. I am doing what I want to do. Finally..."
He looked at the camera and pursed his lips, "...Thank you to my company and teammates."
"Without your tolerance, I wouldn't be where I am today."
He still didn't dare to mention Guan Heng's name, for fear of causing him too much trouble. In the audience not far away, Ji Yan was stunned for a moment: "You really didn't tell him you were coming?"
He clicked his tongue and said, "Teacher Guan, you are really good at pushing and pulling."
Guan Heng: “…”
He sighed helplessly and raised his eyes to look at the stage.
It would be a lie to say that I was not touched.
After being together for so long, hatred cannot defeat our feelings.
……never mind.
He thought.
Since I'm here, I might as well go there after it's over, otherwise I'd look like a heartless person.
-
On the stage, after saying that, Ai Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the next words were smooth: "Of course, I also want to thank the person next to me. He made me realize that there are always people who are better than you. No matter what the result is this time, what I told you at the beginning is still valid."
What?
Of course, it’s about who wins and who loses with Xichao.
The next person to speak was Jie Xichao.
He naturally raised the microphone and sighed helplessly: "I know, stop yelling."
[I really cried and laughed...]
[So what are the fans of these two groups fighting about? It’s obviously healthy competition, hahahaha. It’s good. So far, the debut group are all familiar people, so there is no need to worry about the team spirit.]
[I am a fan of Ai, and I have never disliked Teacher Xiao Chao. I feel that he is quite like Xiao Ai’s life mentor. I am very grateful to him]
Life mentor Xie Xichao was called out for the third time tonight, but he was not embarrassed or uncomfortable at all. He picked up the microphone, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "First of all, thank you everyone."
What are you thanking me for?
"Thank you everyone." He paused. "When I was lying on the hospital bed a few months ago, I thought about what I would be like standing on the stage in the future, but I never thought about what you would be like off the stage."
The audience fell silent.
"Isn't this sentence strange?" He paused, "I don't know how to put it."
Someone who has never failed to deliver a good speech can't find the right words to describe his feelings, and the reason is because of his fans.
He chose his words carefully: "Maybe it's because this is the first time I appear in front of everyone as an artist."
It's a wonderful feeling.
Only Jie Xichao knew that this sentence should be changed.
It was not his first time as an artist, but his first time as Jie Xichao himself, standing on the stage as an artist.
Of course, he has been an artist many times, but this was the first time that he appeared in front of everyone under the name "Jie Xichao" and won everyone's love. All that sincere and passionate love is because of Jie Xichao himself.
He really likes this feeling.
This feeling of being truly needed.
He watched everyone love him in various ways, through voting, cheering, and the handwritten letters he received during games.
All these made him feel the meaning of life.
He was a man who had died once, so these things were like a blessing to him.
[…I started to cry]
[My Chaowuwuwu, why are you so nice? We like you because you are so nice! 】
[Why say thank you? Why say thank you? We are the ones who should say thank you. Thank you for coming to my world, TT. I like you so much.]
[Fortunately you woke up, thank God]
As if sensing the barrage, Xie Xichao smiled and said, "Of course, I also have to thank fate for giving me this opportunity to start over again."
Having said this, he paused and stroked the small dice in his pocket.
As if it sensed the touch of its owner, it took the initiative to rub against Jie Xichao, showing affection and obedience.
The temperature of his hands was just comfortable. Xie Xichao took a deep breath and finished the rest of the words: "I am grateful to my parents and family for never giving up on me and supporting me in doing what I like.
Thanks to my company, thank you everyone for your care and concern, it has been hard work over the past few months.
Also, thank myself. ”
Thank you for not giving up.
Time and space travel again and again, dangers again and again, hopeless endings again and again, and reloading the save file again and again.
All these things are just for the word "life".
Just for...
go home.
Jie Xichao held the microphone tightly and closed his eyes slightly.
He heard the sound of the machines running, the cheers and support from the audience, and also heard Jing Jin, not far away from the audience, shouting with all his might, "Come on, brother!" But he seemed to hear nothing.
In the sudden silence, the last thing he heard was Dou Yu's voice.
"Trainee Xie Xichao," Dou Yu said, "In the final vote of the third season of Super Rookie, you received 92.17 million votes. Congratulations, you won first place in this competition."
Fireworks suddenly exploded, and amidst the fluttering ribbons, Jie Xichao was hugged tightly by Ai Qingyuan who was standing beside him.
He looked up and saw the bright and blazing lights above his head.
That is the light, and also the brightness of the sun.
*
Almost at the moment when Jie Xichao announced the first place, everyone present burst into a frenzy of cheers. The live broadcast was so stuck that it was unwatchable at one point. Even amid the extreme lag, you could still see several comments being refreshed persistently.
Of course it's not very nutritious, it's like poking a chicken coop.
Xie Xichao was hugged by everyone on the stage and felt like a doll being manipulated. Ai Qingyuan just stood there and watched, with no intention of helping at all.
When Dou Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped this ridiculous congratulations with words, Xie Xichao felt like his brain was almost deprived of oxygen.
He is the first, and Ai Qingyuan is naturally the second. The speeches were almost finished, and both of them shortened their debut speeches a little. When they reached the other end of the corridor bridge, there was another round of hugs. Even Fu Wen Ze and Ai Qingyuan, the two enemies who disliked each other, put aside their past grudges and had some physical contact with each other.
Just for a moment.
After a while, Fu Wenze said, "...What's the smell of your perfume?"
Ai Qingyuan:?
"Do you want to fight?" he warned.
Fu Wenze: “…”
He just wanted to say it smelled nice.
The two parted unhappily, while on the other side of the stage, the remaining trainees looked envious and nervous.
Those who are ranked lower have already given up hope, and everyone in the competition zone has the word "nervous" written all over their face. Zou Yi had just hugged Jie Xichao, and his palms were now covered in sweat.
He really didn't know whether he would make his debut.
Ticket urging is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that he entered the debut position at that moment, the bad thing...
The fans behind will definitely not be reconciled.
He felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He raised his eyes unconsciously and saw Jie Xichao standing at the highest point. The two looked at each other, and although Jie Xichao clearly didn't say anything, his heart slowly calmed down.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him.
The moment Dou Yu read out his name, Zou Yi was almost in a trance for a moment.
He was hugged by the others and walked across the corridor bridge almost mechanically. The moment he picked up the microphone, he finally came to his senses.
Fans of Zou Yi have gone crazy.
Amidst the chaos, Zou Yi began his stumbling speech.
Until the very end, he suddenly turned around and looked at Jie Xichao.
The barrage has become numb.
[Tell me, tell me, where did our family show mercy again?]
[Some people love lead singers the most, Jie Xichao, don’t you think so? Don't think I can't see that you, Mr. Zou, take care of people.
[No way, Mr. Zou, even you...]
Zou Yi was very sorry, but he had to say thank you. He said seriously: "I'm not kidding. Xiao Chao really helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing here."
[I understand. Without Jie Xichao, you would all be growing sweet potatoes at home.]
[I understand. Without Jie Xichao, you and the production team are all growing sweet potatoes at home]
[Fast forward to the moment when the entire earth would not rotate without Jie Xichao]
The earth is still rotating smoothly, but this night is destined to be an extraordinary night. After Zou Yi finished his speech, he hugged everyone at the end one by one, and then stood in his own position.
At this point, all five members of the debut group are present.
"Well then." Dou Yu said with a smile, "Now let's announce the names of the debut group for the third season of Super Rookie."
The lights dimmed again, and the big screen began to flicker.
"The five-member debut group born from "Super Rookie" is about to start their journey again after going through various tests, and the starting point of this journey is--"
The Phoenix
Phoenix Nirvana.
It is hope and also rebirth.
