Day 51
Bigland, the rap instructor whom the trainees affectionately nicknamed "The Earth," came into the room with some confusion.
"Why is the atmosphere outside so weird? Did something go wrong during the afternoon rehearsal? Everyone seems distracted."
The few people who knew the inside story coughed twice awkwardly and lowered their heads guiltily.
"Huh? Why are you the same? What happened when I was away?" Chen Dadi couldn't help it. He rushed to his seat and leaned over to check the expressions of Zhang Qu and Jiang Sulin.
"Tell me, tell me!"
Jiang Sulin and Zhang Qu looked at each other, and then exchanged glances with Jiang Pianpian and the even more embarrassed Ou Ruo.
"Um... just watch the rehearsal video yourself."
Just watch it. What went wrong during the rehearsal? Everyone in the base is acting weird. Chen Dadi put on his headphones speechlessly and found that the staff had attentively opened the stage of "Cyber Love" for him.
"Why is their performance played first? Aren't they third in dance and sixth overall by lot?"
No one answered his question, so he just kept quiet.
Five minutes later.
Silence spread across the room, covering the last conscious person.
Jiang Sulin turned his head and saw that the person who had been shouting just now had also fallen.
Jiang Pianpian whispered secretly, "I told you, everyone who has seen Fu Xunyan will end up like this!"
Chen Dadi's reaction was even more serious.
He placed his hand on the table, with veins bulging on his knuckles. The tip of his pen drew a crooked arc on the suggestion form, and the ink dots spread out like a broken spider web.
This chubby rapper has completely lost his usual humor or dominance on stage, and his occasional swallowing is full of a different meaning.
He was completely unaware of the cuff of the trendy brand sweatshirt he had just bought brushing against the porcelain rim of his coffee cup. He seemed to be nailed to the chair, his neck leaning forward until it was almost parallel to the table, and he let his sleeve, stained with brown stains, drag an ugly trail on the table.
His eyes were filled with confusion, bewilderment, obsession and shock as he stared blankly at the screen playing again.
Ou Ruo covered his face.
He was not mocking Chen Dadi. This novel stage was also an eye-opener for him, a 40-year-old man - to be honest, he had just watched it five times.
Including the one played after Chen Dadi came, this is the sixth time.
But there was still only one sentence on his vocal suggestion sheet: Zhou Qi's vocal part was not prominent.
Other than that it's blank.
Ou Ruo peeked at other people's forms. Fortunately, their forms were similar and no one had written more than one sentence.
Everyone's professional level is very poor.
"Hiss~" A quarter of an hour later, Chen Dadi finally woke up.
He lay on the table, feeling both amused and helpless.
"Okay, I understand."
"No, this guy is too lethal, my god. Although I heard that he was going to dye his hair, I never thought it would turn out like this...ah, and his makeup, those muscles, are amazing, really amazing."
"If I had money, I would immediately spend a million to buy this video and keep it for myself."
Jiang Sulin nodded, "It's not just Fu Xunyan, their group really created the perfect atmosphere."
"Fu Xunyan made some adjustments just like Yigong. The distortion of his voice at the beginning was intentional, immediately drawing people into the virtual world."
"Then there's Min Hai. Wow, this dance is truly worthy of being the best in our show. And after dyeing her hair red, her aura has really improved. She's really dazzling."
"Jiang Han and Bai Zhen were also very good. Their chemistry in the duet dance was excellent. Jiang Han is truly a versatile performer. Although he might seem a bit weak on his own, he has an inexplicable connection when paired with others."
Jiang Sulin stopped talking here.
Ou Ruo flipped through the paper to confirm his memory, "There's also Zhou Qi, right? No more comments?"
Oh, there is also Zhou Qi.
"Hey. Stop pretending to be suddenly enlightened. I've warned you three times."
"Sorry, sorry, Mr. Ou." Jiang Pianpian clasped her hands together, trying to cover up her mistake with a sweet smile, "It's just that I can't help it. There are so many handsome guys in front of me that I have no time to look at him."
Fortunately, this is not a live broadcast but a recording, so Jiang Pianpian’s words will be cut out, otherwise she will definitely be besieged.
"Alas, Zhou Qi really doesn't look good here." Chen Dadi said frankly, with a look of regret on his face. "Just think about how much better it would be if he was replaced by Da Pei or Chen Chi."
Da Pei and Fu Xunyan have the same skin color as white chocolate. Although he is a little shorter than Fu Xunyan, his frame is bigger than Fu Xunyan and he looks very masculine.
Chen Chi is a famous athlete with broad shoulders, narrow waist and dark skin. Although he is a vocalist, everyone thinks he is a very explosive dancer wherever he goes.
More importantly, both of them dance better than Zhou Qi.
"Zhou Qi's strength is a bit too weak, but Min Hai's choreography adjustments this time have effectively avoided exposing his shortcomings. Although his playing time is less, his efficiency has improved." Jiang Sulin admires Min Hai very much.
"I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's performance." Jiang Pianpian clenched her fists. "If the audience is captivated by us, it will be quite the show."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too." Jiang Sulin sighed, then felt a little regretful. "If only Fu Xunyan hadn't had that incident, I'd be worried about whether it would affect his mentality tomorrow."
Ou Ruo shook his head. "Not really. Look at him, he's in great shape during rehearsal. I think he'll be able to perform exceptionally well tomorrow. This guy has a very stable mentality, don't worry."
I hope so.

Liu Yu still bought a ticket and entered.
Her ticket-grabbing skills were already top-notch, and with the support of multiple servers, she had no problem finding a ticket. She glanced over and saw Chen Lianqing was there, instantly feeling relieved.
Thanks to the great victory in the first public performance, the production team opened more seats for the second public performance, reaching 450 seats. However, due to the influence of the scandal, the proportion of Fu Xunyan's fans actually decreased.
Liu Yu was a little worried.
Players like them who are in the upper circle don’t actually need to worry about the on-site vote rate. Even if they get first place, it will only add 10,000 or 20,000 votes, and once they are integrated into the voting pool, they will immediately be invisible.
The second public figure votes based on the first public figure being cleared of all votes. Now Fu Xunyan is far ahead, so Liu Yu is not worried about this.
Getting first place in a performance has other meanings, such as actual achievements that the fan club can use for publicity, or data that fans can show off when they are fighting... It's the same as going to work. Some projects don't have much practical effect, but as long as they sound catchy enough, they can still attract a lot of attention.
Liu Yu clenched her fists, praying that Fu Xunyan would be able to amaze everyone today and continue to win the first place in the dance group of the second public performance.
Xiaomei beside him seemed less enthusiastic than Yigong.
Her glassy eyes darted from one trainee to another. She was a looker, but her good looks could attract a lot of handsome boys in real life, so Xiaomei's interest in someone always faded quickly.
This is also the most important reason why Liu Yu did not tell her that she was the leader of Fu Xunyan's fan club, nor did she bring her into the management team.
"Alas, my happiness is gone. There are so few people who share the same interests today..."
Liu Yu glanced around following Xiaomei's words and remained silent.
In fact, there were still a lot of fans coming today, but due to that disgusting scandal, no one chose to secretly bring banners and support items, so there were many unidentified spectators in the audience.
Xiaomei was bored and could only browse Little Red Potato on her phone.
The livestreaming equipment was slowly being set up offstage. Liu Yu clicked on it and was instantly shocked by the barrage of comments. "New Century" gained countless followers this week, and many mid- and lower-level trainees also gained a significant following.
Compared to the young masters of the capitalists next door, the trainees here at least passed the auditions based on their looks and abilities, so the gap between the programs is gradually widening.
No matter how many hot searches "Go Forward" buys, it cannot compete with the slightest action from Fu Xunyan.
People once again felt the horror of fault flow.
In the dressing room.
"Teacher Liu, please adjust the makeup plan." Fu Xunyan passed by Min Hai and clamped his chin to tilt it towards him.
"Don't use too much eyeshadow, and make the shadows darker. His face is already quite handsome, so there's no need to overdo it with so many colors to steal the show."
"Min Hai, can you accept the scar?"
Min Hai nodded. After witnessing Fu Xunyan's coordination ability and aesthetic taste, he firmly believed in his decision.
"Scars? Of course."
"Sister Liu, can you draw scars?"
Sister Liu hesitated. "I could, but I don't have anyone free right now. This will take at least twenty minutes to draw."
Fu Xunyan was silent. He admitted that it was his mistake. He had been watching everyone's dancing and outfits throughout yesterday's rehearsal, and had really neglected to pay attention to their makeup, so he could only offer suggestions today.
"Let me do it."
"Huh?" Before Sister Liu could react, the young man took the makeup palette from her hand and found a clean brush.
He hooked his legs back, the chair slid on the ground with a sound, and then the young man sat down.
"My makeup time isn't up yet, so I have plenty of time. I'll help him with it. It'll only take ten minutes."
The hands were very close to his eyes, and Min Hai couldn't help but close his eyes.
The heat waves in the backstage were driven away by the aroma of cedar, and Min Hai felt his heart beating non-stop in his chest.
He couldn't help laughing.
"What's the matter?" As the brush fell gently, the boy who was very close to him asked.
Min Hai put away his smile and said, "Nothing, I just think it's amazing how you can do everything."
"I can't draw as well as you." Fu Xunyan answered seriously, "If you could draw for yourself, you would definitely be better than me."
Min Hai disagreed.
Sister Liu was stunned for a moment, then turned around to help others with their makeup - the atmosphere here seemed to be unable to accommodate her.
The silver-haired young man sat slightly higher, leaning forward slightly. His beautiful gray-blue eyes, adorned with irises, were captivating. Though their color was uninhibited and cold, their overly serious expression made them even more alluring.
His knuckles rested against the red-haired man's forehead, and as his slender knuckles moved, he swept the makeup brush lightly or heavily across the other's brow bone, leaving an ambiguous pink color.
Min Hai closed his eyes and could only feel the silence enveloping him, which was so comfortable that it made him want to sleep.
"alright."
Ten minutes is exactly ten minutes. After Min Hai slowly opened his eyes, the people around him who had been attracted a long time ago were all amazed.
"This painting is so good, Xun Yan, are you a special effects makeup artist?"
Min Hai looked at himself in the mirror.
Very unique.
In the stage of "Cyber Love", he is set as a street thug, with a red crew cut that makes him look frivolous and willful, and green animal eyes that add an inhuman meaning to him. But now that the scar that goes through his eye has been filled, his wild temperament bursts out, making Min Hai look particularly sexually tense.
It is really the finishing touch.
Jiang Han was so envious that he almost cried, and hung on Fu Xunyan and scolded him for being partial.
Bai Zhen walked over and took a look without saying anything, but Min Hai keenly sensed some loss.
Fu Xunyan's makeup was put on almost last, as they worried that her beauty would be too striking and affect the others. None of the trainees objected, even Bai Wenji and Ye Lai acquiesced.
Ye Lai thought about yesterday's rehearsal.
Even at that time he was only wearing light makeup, and about forty out of the sixty trainees came to watch after hearing the news, but they just stood there for a long time as if their heels were nailed to the ground.
She put on makeup today...Ye Lai couldn't imagine it.
It’s better to go slower, as it won’t affect his mentality.
That guy's lethality is really hard to resist...
