Chapter 32: First Performance (Part 2)
If the first performance of "Good Morning, Miss" served to warm up the audience, then the next two performances arranged by the program team made the atmosphere even more heated.
Of course, the constant singing and dancing can also tire the audience, so during the halftime of the performance, the production team arranged for several groups of purely vocal performances to compete.
When the audience once again felt sleepy due to the slow standing songs, the last few singing and dancing groups were sent on stage as the closing performance.
Almost all of the most popular contestants on the show are scheduled to appear during this time period.
The first performance was "Shine" by Su Yi, Cui Junxi and other top contestants from Class A, followed by "Warm" by the top five Jiang Mo Nan, Sheng Yan Yu, Lei Lie, Bai Li and Chang Jun.
For a moment, the fans who were almost running out of patience due to the long wait suddenly burst into excited screams.
Unlike the first half where the applause was just out of courtesy, when the really popular contestants appeared in groups, the cheers and screams from the audience were like an overwhelming tidal wave.
“Ahhh Sheng Yanyu!!!”
"Jiang Mo Nan! Jiang Mo Nan!"
"Lei Lie! Ahhh, husband!!!"
"Bai Li! Bai Li look at me!"
"Chang Jun! Mommy loves you!"
For a moment, fans from all teams raised their support items and shouted at the top of their lungs. It seemed as if each of them wanted to drown out the other team's voices, and if they couldn't break their throats, they would just shout to their heart's content.
Although they had known for a long time that there was a huge popularity gap between the contestants, the contestants in Group 2 of "Hot" could not help but feel disappointed when they saw the audience's reaction with their own eyes.
Although this duel has not yet begun, the outcome seems to be already determined.
Feeling the audience's enthusiasm, host Zeng Yu smiled and raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.
"I know you're looking forward to it, and so am I."
"Then let us invite the 'Hot' group to the stage!"
As soon as the words fell, the screams at the scene became louder, almost shattering the eardrums.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, the highly anticipated contestants took the stage one by one.
The clothing styles of Group 1 and Group 2 of "Warm" are similar, both wearing shirts and trousers. The difference lies in the color matching. Group 1 wears white shirts and dark trousers, while Group 2 wears a brown-red Maillard color scheme.
In comparison, the outfits of Group 2 seemed to be more in line with the theme of the song "Hotness". But even so, the contestants of Group 1 still attracted the most attention.
With an average height of over 180cm, each one has a small head and face, yet a striking appearance. They wear silk shirts with a beautiful drape, and their long legs, clad in dark trousers and riding boots, look even more like princes straight out of a fairy tale.
In stark contrast to the image he presented during the auditions and the theme song performance, Mo Bei today wore an artistically appointed shirt with an asymmetrical, pleated collar. Layers of white lisianthus flowers were sewn onto the lapels and sleeves. The front row of audience members was only four or five meters from the stage, and this close proximity created an even more powerful visual impact.
Unlike Lei Lie, a mixed-race guy with the advantages of facial features, Mo Bei's impact on people is more about his temperament.
Under the dazzling stage lights, the tall, thin man before him lowered his eyes slightly. His white shirt didn't reveal his private parts as boldly as Lei Lie's, but instead covered the skin around his neck as much as possible. Even so, the abstinence and aloofness he exuded made one want to get to know him better.
Even if the flowers on the high mountains are in full bloom on the dangerous cliff top, their beauty still makes people want to climb and pick them.
Xu Zihan looked at Mo Bei on the stage in a daze.
They look so similar.
Both his appearance and figure are almost exactly the same as Mo Bei's.
Even small actions that are done unintentionally are true.
The moment the other person walked onto the stage just now, Xu Zihan almost thought that her favorite idol had been resurrected.
It wasn't until her daughter Xin Yiru grabbed her hand and shook it gently that she came to her senses.
The person is gone, and even if the person in front of you looks like him, he is not him.
Mo Bei is more lively, while Jiang Monan seems a little quiet.
After so many years, she should have moved on from the past.
Unlike Xu Zihan's special fans, the other Jiang Mo Nan fans at the scene didn't think too much at the moment, they just kept screaming -
"Oh my god! This is so handsome! What a divine appearance!"
"Help... I can't take it anymore..."
"Wow, how can a person look like this..."
Jiang Mo Nan’s fans were excited, and so were the fans of other contestants in the same group.
"Bai Li! My wife—you are so beautiful!!!"
At first, Lei Lie felt a little embarrassed when the enthusiastic female fans called him "husband", but when he heard the audience calling Bai Li "wife", his handsome face like a prince could not hold back in an instant.
“Puff…”
Hearing his chuckle, Bai Li glared at him.
There was a clear message in Feiyang Fox's eyes: "Do you dare to laugh again?"
Seeing this, Lei Lie immediately tightened his lips and tried hard to suppress his laughter.
Amidst the clamor, the host asked the contestants to introduce themselves one by one. During this time, there was another round of excited screams. When it was the turn of the competing "Hot" 2 team to speak, the excited audience instantly calmed down.
After a perfunctory round of applause, the host Zeng Yu immediately sped up the process.
The show begins.
The lights on the stage went out, and everyone held their breath and stared intently ahead.
A beam of white light shone down, and five gathered figures of Yichang appeared in the center of the stage.
As the rhythmic accompaniment sounded, the contestants scattered and the lights on the stage came on!
Suddenly, the girls in the audience erupted in screams. Driven by the atmosphere, even the somewhat shy Cai Shumin couldn't help but join in the cheers.
And her eyes were always following that patch of white lisianthus.
The loose and flowing shirt fluttered lightly like a butterfly as he danced, and the slightly curled ends of his carefully groomed black hair added a hazy cuteness to his lonely and cold temperament.
With a twirling sideways leap, her gaze met the jade-like profile in front of her. Under the light, his entire outline glowed with whiteness.
Cai Shumin was slightly distracted, and before she could react, she saw the person on the stage took out a red rose and put it in his mouth.
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, the other team members also picked up a rose.
Sheng Yanyu, who is recognized as the best dancer, stood in the C position and started the dancebreak, and the atmosphere in the audience immediately exploded.
After a short dance, the rose was thrown to the audience, which immediately caused the audience to scream excitedly.
"Oh my god! My heart!"
"The rose! Mine! Mine! Don't fight with me for it!"
"Ah ...
Perhaps because they were influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, the five people's performance on stage was even better than the previous rehearsal.
Not only did Bai Li not make any mistakes, she even had the energy to flirt with the audience, which immediately caused many fans to scream.
Although a closer look reveals that his dancing skills are not as good as those of the other members of the same group, he wins in terms of appearance and is very entertaining.
After the second chorus, the bridge section began. Mo Bei's effortless transitions and powerful high notes immediately won the applause of the audience and pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
"Jiang Mo Nan! Jiang Mo Nan! Jiang Mo Nan..."
At some point, the fans all shouted Jiang Mo Nan's name in unison. Even though some of them weren't his fans, they still felt that his brilliant performance deserved the audience's cheers and applause.
The five members of this group have different styles and are handsome in their own ways. However, when they form a team, there is no sense of fighting between incompatible styles.
Just like the stars in the sky, although each one is dazzling, its brilliance will not be overshadowed by other stars.
With a cool ending pose, the group "Hot" 1 ended their performance. The audience once again couldn't control their emotions and screamed excitedly.
It can be said that this is the most popular performance among the audience since the start of the performance.
Even the contestants on the stage did not expect this.
They bowed to the audience with a slight breath, and then smiled with relief.
Mo Bei looked up at the spotlight above his head, feeling cheerful.
It's been a long time since I last stepped onto a real stage, and it feels so good.
The cheers and screams of the audience, the spotlights on the stage, these factors combined to greatly relieve the pressure on this body, allowing the energy that was stretched thin in his body to quickly replenish, making this decaying and aging body glow with new vitality.
As a result, the audience at the scene was surprised to find that Jiang Monan, who had previously had a cold expression, suddenly showed a rare smile.
For a moment, fans once again gave out excited exclamations——
"Oh my god! Jiang Mo Nan is smiling!"
"Ah! This smile touched my heart!"
"Such a pretty face should smile more often."
It’s a pity that no one brought a mobile phone at the scene, otherwise they would definitely have captured this scene.
With the first group’s performance as a good example, the other two groups of contestants tried their best to prove themselves, but they ultimately failed due to the huge popularity gap.
When the voting results came out, Group 1 overwhelmingly won the highest number of votes.
This outcome was predetermined from the beginning. The script of the underdog's comeback was not theirs.
The two groups of contestants, feeling disappointed, clapped their hands bitterly.
The team's victory is unquestionable, and the subsequent competition for individual votes is the top priority.
Although this group is full of high-ranking players, there are only two who can compete for the top spot in popularity.
Although the main program has not yet been aired, the battle for the final C position between fans of Sheng Yanyu and Jiang Monan has already begun.
What the fans of both groups didn’t expect was that their idols would be in the same group with their rivals.
This also means that the two of them will inevitably face off in the individual voting session of the public group.
Whoever wins or loses this round will be mentioned repeatedly by the opponent. If you lose, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen. The names "Jiang Mo Nan" and "Sheng Yan Yu" were heard alternately.
Cai Shumin and Xu Zihan, mother and daughter, naturally voted for Jiang Monan. But they couldn't influence the voting results of others.
Listening to the shouts around him, Cai Shumin couldn't help but close his eyes, clench his fingers, and pray in his heart.
Compared to the audience and fans, the contestants on stage seemed remarkably calm. The fandom feuds were of little concern to them.
Anyway, they have won the audience's love and won this round of performances.
Even though they were disconnected from the internet and the outside world, they had a rough idea of their popularity through casual conversations with the production staff and their previous offline experiences. The 3,000 vote bonus for one person didn't mean much to them.
However, even though the idols themselves don’t care, fans still have to decide who is better.
As the votes for the last two candidates were announced, a golden crown appeared above Jiang Mo Nan's name.
Relying on his outstanding vocal skills and that powerful high note, Mo Bei won the 3,000 votes reward.
Chang Jun was the first to applaud: "Congratulations, Brother Mo Nan."
Seeing this, Bai Li clicked his tongue and said in a snarky tone, "I'll let you take the lead this time. I'll take the popularity vote next time."
Hearing his arrogant words, Lei Lie interrupted without giving him face: "We still know whether you two will be on the same team next time."
"……you!"
"congratulations."
Perhaps powerful people have full confidence in their own strength. There is no jealousy or resentment on Sheng Yanyu's face, only pure sincerity in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Thank you."
With the announcement of the on-site voting results, the first round of performances came to an end.
The audience left the venue feeling unsatisfied, and the contestants who had just finished the fierce competition will also face the first round of elimination rankings since the competition.
