Day 54
"Bai Zhen, Jiang Han: 61 votes."
"Good buddy." Jiang Han immediately hugged Bai Zhen. The two had expected that the number of votes would not be high, so they were not disappointed.
In other words, the moment they chose Fu Xunyan, they gave up the performance tickets and chose to leave a perfect stage. Only a fool would not understand which is more important.
Min Hai covered his face and laughed secretly behind Fu Xunyan's back, "Ah Xunbao, you are going to seduce all my fans away again."
Fu Xunyan turned around and patted his short hair, "No, don't talk nonsense."
Min Hai didn't stop and rubbed against his back like a little hedgehog.
Min Hai's vote count was announced, as expected.
94 votes.
A number of votes lower than that of many people in the second public performance, but inexplicably it cannot be regarded as lacking strength - after all, everyone knows what the situation is with Fu Xunyan's group.
With 202 votes, Fu Xunyan surpassed Bo Mi and became the current number one in the dance group. However, the value of the two votes was completely incomparable. Bo Mi's 201 votes were due to the low popularity of other trainees in the group, but Fu Xunyan was different.
In this group, four of them are in the top 20, and even the lowest ranked Bai Zhen is at 27th. What should have been a big fight turned into a one-man show because of Fu Xunyan - just judging from the number of votes.
"We got full votes!" Jiang Han was the first to discover the key. He jumped up suddenly and pulled Bai Zhen beside him so hard that he almost fell down.
Yes, we seem to be fully booked!
Min Hai and Zhou Qi were also a little bit incredulous and started counting.
That’s right, it was fully sold out. It was the only fully sold-out stage up to the sixth stage, even surpassing the 447 votes for the classic song “Give Me Love” performed by Yin Xingheng, with only 3 people abstaining from voting.
"Ahhhh! That's great! We are so awesome!" Jiang Han became lively, hugging everyone and jumping up and down, his happiness was beyond words, and he was not at all sad about his low number of votes.
The audience was also in an uproar, and they were looking at each other's faces, especially those fans who held up the opponent's signs, now lowered their heads and blushed, not daring to speak.
Sorry, because the Gu King was too powerful, they once again forgot the prior agreement and voted subconsciously.
Liu Yu was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She tried her best to suppress the scream stuck in her throat. She had to hold Xiaomei's hands, for fear that screaming too much would cause trouble for Fu Xunyan.
At this moment, no one, whether at the scene or on the Internet, remembered the scandal about Fu Xunyan anymore. All that was left was the uncontrollable trembling heart, beating violently as if it was about to jump out of the universe.
[This is absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing!]
[Really, no one can speak looking at this stage]
[Fu Xunyan's face is the best work of art ever created by mankind!]
[Oh my god, this facial expression management, seriously, every second I watch it, I feel horrible inside, my mind is full of this and that about him! She's definitely a succubus, mom!]
[…Really, his expression was completely that of a corrupted god of desire, with a hint of madness.]
**
Fu Xunyan returned to the backstage surrounded by the crowd.
The boys' eyes of envy, jealousy, and amazement met Fu Xunyan's eyes one by one. They rushed forward to congratulate him, but they were reluctant. The tears in several of their eyes did not come from the appreciation and excitement after watching the perfect performance.
But from the blow.
Because they saw the gap, the obvious distance between them and Fu Xunyan brought out all their inferiority complexes, and many trainees suddenly felt an indescribable sense of frustration.
That is a height they can never reach, that person is shining.
It's like a god looking down on the struggles of all living things, high above and without any emotions.
But he spoke, pulling people from hell to the world. The existence that should have been a spiritual symbol without expressing emotions took the initiative to break the boundaries of being deified.
They saw him wink and a smile spread across his lips.
"Everyone, keep up the good work."
Keep going for the efforts you have made and for the dream you are still trying to reach.
There was silence backstage for a moment, and then, like a kettle full of steam, it finally became boiling hot.
"Okay! Let's work hard together!"
“Come on, come on, come on!”
"I must surpass you!"
The sudden announcement caused the entire audience to fall silent again, and the trainee scratched his head.
"Hey, just make a joke to liven things up. It's really sad to see you looking at me like that!"
Thanks to his antics, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, and the previous silence seemed to have never existed.
Fu Xunyan sat down in his seat, staring at the screen quietly, watching the rest of the performance like everyone else, but his mind wandered for a moment.
He thought he was lucky.
Even though God imposed many trials and pains on him in the first half of his life, Fu Xunyan never regretted any path he chose.
The things that are engraved in his genes, such as talent, hard work, and maturity of character, are things that cannot be erased or taken away even through time and space.
Everyone has dreams, but no matter whether they are idols, stars or people from any walk of life, there is always the pride of being ahead of others and the regret of not being able to surpass them.
Fu Xunyan is lucky. He has a perfect face, strong learning ability, a tuneless singing voice and tamed limbs, which puts him ahead of 99% of people.
At this moment, he sat here, his eyes penetrating the oblivious backs of the boys. The enthusiasm and excitement of those boys slowly seeped out from their backs like sweat, burning Fu Xunyan's eyes.
He couldn't feel sorry for them, nor did he want to offer sympathy, but the opportunities between people - this inexplicable and mysterious thing was like gravel deposited in the deep of the pond, always swept up by a rainstorm or hurricane.
Disturbing the clarity of mind.
But excluding all uncontrollable factors, speaking only for himself, Fu Xunyan pays tribute to all those who have worked hard, regardless of what results their talents support them to achieve.
Just hate laziness.
The heat wave continued until ten o'clock in the evening, when all the stages ended.
The boys sat backstage, sweating profusely, with the air conditioner humming.
"I wonder what the results of this vote are?"
"Well, regardless of anything else, Fu Xunyan's group definitely came in first place. That was the only fully booked stage in the entire venue."
"Indeed, but as for personal votes... well, there's no doubt about it, Fu Xunyan is definitely first."
"How could he not be number one? What level of succubus is this kid? That look is too good to be true!"
The trainees in the corner were discussing and couldn't help but stand up to look for that person. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and they could only catch a glimpse of the plump back of the head.
"Hey, if I had known earlier I would have sat in the front and ordered."
"Yeah, I still want to see that face. I don't mean anything else. I'm an art student, and things that are too beautiful always attract my attention."
The staff did not allow them to chat for too long, and the backend quickly completed the data statistics. After evacuating the people on the scene, the live broadcast room was opened again.
The audience saw Jiang Sulin standing above, holding the result card in his hand.
Below the stage, sixty trainees lined up according to the repertoire for the second public performance, with a total of twelve rows: four rows for the vocal group, five rows for the dance group, and three rows for the rap group.
"Now, I'm going to announce the team that ranks first in the vocal group." Jiang Sulin smiled at the camera and the trainees.
"'The World's First-Class Failed Confession' received a total of 428 votes, ranking first in the group."
"'Give Me Love' received a total of 439 votes, with Yin Xingheng taking first place in the group."
"Farewell My Concubine" received a total of 442 votes, ranking first in the group.
"'Looking Back Again' received a total of 425 votes, with Feng Jiarui leading the group."
The four people whose names were called adjusted their positions and came to the front of the team. Except for Feng Jiarui, who was a new face and a little nervous, the other three looked at each other and smiled.
It's not that they don't care about the result. The ambition in their eyes still exists. It's just that the result is already determined and they are just waiting for the verdict.
The trainees present exchanged ideas with each other and basically knew who won first place in the vocal group.
"Bai Wenji."
As expected, the other three hugged Bai Wenji.
Bai Wenji smiled and pushed Chen Chi and Yin Xingheng away, "You guys are a bit smelly."
"Damn it!" Yin Xingheng scowled coldly, "You actually said I stink? I always smell good, okay?"
Even though the vocal group didn't really need to dance, the stage lights were so hot that almost everyone was sweating.
Bai Wenji didn't say this to Feng Jiarui, but instead bullied himself and Shen Chi. He was really shameless.
Yin Xingheng took advantage of the camera not paying attention and hit Bai Wenji on the head, scaring the trainee behind him and making him look at him hesitantly.
"Just because he outvoted you by two votes?"
Yin Xingheng choked with sobs and was speechless.
Next was the rap group. There was basically no suspense. Dal-bae's charm was unstoppable. He scooped 209 votes and became the first in the rap group.
If you can gamble, Bai Wenji winning the vocal group is an upset, with super high odds, but the odds for the rap and dance groups are terribly low. Ask a hundred trainees and they will tell you that Fu Xunyan will definitely be first.
If it's not number one, then the audience has no taste.
As expected, Fu Xunyan topped the dance group with 202 votes.
Amidst cheers that were not sure whether they were genuine or not, Fu Xunyan was embraced by countless people. He smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
The joy of completing the stage ended the moment I stepped off the stage, and the recognition of the results was like dessert.
That night, countless people did not sleep.
The performance broadcast on the official website had a maximum of 50,000 simultaneous viewers, with comments like "Sister, you haven't slept either" and "How can I sleep like this?" filling the screen with comments like "Sister, you haven't slept either" and "How can I sleep like this?"
Yes, how can I sleep like this? The face in the close-up on the screen is absolutely the best in the world, as if it is a yandere succubus that lurks in the middle of the night, with the kind of seduction that doesn't care about your life or death, and deceives countless people to stare at it over and over again.
I am grateful countless times for the advanced technology of this era, which allows me to appreciate this level of beauty.
[Nothing much to say, my new husband is here]
[Hehehe, my wife's sweat smells so good, don't push your hips, push me!]
[That… that waist, those shoulders, that little expression, so cool!]
So much so that the time reminder on the official app popped up again and again that night.
"You have been watching this video for an hour. Please be careful with your eyes and take plenty of rest~"
Unfortunately, the app mascot's seductive glance at the blind man was no match for Fu Xunyan's breath.
Tonight's popularity rankings were completely dominated by "New Century", and even the overall ranking was finally led by Fu Xunyan as fans expected.
The first one is "Fu Xunyan/New Era Succubus", the second one is "Annual Stage "Cyber Love", the third one is "Da Pei/Super Handsome Rapper", the fourth one is "Bai Wenji "Farewell My Concubine", and the fifth one is the persevering "Fu Xunyan/Rich Woman on the List".
By the way, Bai Wenji's opera voice also amazed everyone on this vocal stage, bringing him a real increase in attention.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the whole network is in a frenzy.
Even some trainees who have not received much attention have seen an increase in votes during this period. Ultimately, this is because the overall traffic of the program has increased. There are always some passers-by who like unpopular contestants and will pay attention to the trainees who are currently in the lower circle.
It can be considered as benefiting them.
The program crew was naturally grinning with joy. Amidst the jubilation, Shen Ziqing and the makeup team leader confirmed tomorrow's filming tasks.
"Are all the skirts ready according to their sizes? Especially Ye Lai's."
"Director Shen, you can rest assured. Ye Lai's set is a one-to-one replica of the photo."
"Well, Xiao Wang, remember to clean up the green space early tomorrow for them to shoot. Who will be the male lead in the music video today?"
"It's Jiang Han."
Shen Ziqing nodded. "Then the female protagonists are Fu Xunyan, Ye Lai, Liu Yongshan, Bai Zhen, and Feng Jiarui?"
"Yes, Director Shen, but I'd like to confirm with you about the MV shooting location. Will we be using green space? Would it be more appropriate to switch to an interior location? After all, 'The World's Best Confession Failure' and green space really don't go together."
"No." Shen Ziqing nodded his arm. "It has to be different. After all, this is an entertainment MV. If we take it too seriously, the audience will question why we don't prepare MVs for other stages as well."
Okay, Xiao Wang nodded.
Shen Ziqing thought of something and told Xiao Wang, "Let's add another step. Let the six of us help each other with our makeup. If it doesn't turn out well, we can ask the makeup artist to make corrections."
