Chapter 18 Training Camp and Theme Song
The voice of the person who came was slightly low, giving people a vague sense of familiarity.
Sure enough, the next second, a three-dimensional face like a sculpture came into view.
Mo Bei was a little surprised to be assigned to the same room with Lei Lie.
Seeing the person in front of him still standing there motionless, Lei Lie frowned slightly, "You don't live in this room?"
"……live."
"Then why are you still standing there? Come in."
Having said that, the other party pushed open the door.
Looking at the back of the person in front of him, Mo Bei couldn't help but be stunned.
This was their first serious conversation since they first met.
After all, Lei Lie's previous attitude was very strange. Before figuring out what the other party wanted to do, Mo Bei didn't dare to talk to him rashly.
What he never expected was that the other party was assigned to the same dormitory as him. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Mo Bei walked into Room 5 while complaining in his heart.
Unexpectedly, there were two other people in the room besides him and Lei Lie.
One is Tao Xiaotie, a former food blogger and the youngest contestant. The other is Bai Li, who is exceptionally handsome but has formidable vocal abilities.
I thought Lei Lie was special enough, but I never expected that the other two roommates were also so unique.
I don’t know if these two people will be as weird as Lei Lie.
I was thinking secretly in my heart, when Bai Li across from me said, "I want this upper bunk near the inside, you can choose the remaining beds."
Having said that, he threw the bag in his hand onto the bed without caring what others thought, as if he was the king of the mountain.
Lei Lie seemed a little indignant at Bai Li's somewhat arrogant attitude. But seeing the photographer still at the door, he said nothing and quietly walked to the lower bunk across from him.
The remaining beds are one upper bunk near the door and one lower bunk near the inner room.
In reality, Mo Bei didn't care whether he slept on the upper or lower bunk. But considering that Lei Lie, who he didn't know if he was a friend or foe, he felt it was necessary to stay away from him.
Although he had his sights set on the lower bunk, he couldn't make a decision on his own without considering Tao Xiaotie's thoughts.
One reason is because of conscience, and the other is to avoid controversy after the program is broadcast.
After all, among the four, Tao Xiaotie is the youngest and is still a minor.
According to the normal trend of variety shows, the three adults should set a good example as older brothers and show brotherly love and respect in front of the camera. However, when it came to choosing the bed, Bai Li and Lei Lie showed no intention of taking care of their little brother Tao Xiaotie.
If he only cares about his own wishes like these two people, they will most likely be criticized by netizens after the show is broadcast.
After thinking for a while, Mo Bei finally looked at Tao Xiaotie beside him and asked, "Which bed do you want to sleep in?"
But the sleepy, round-faced boy in front of him rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned, "Whatever, I'm fine with it."
Hearing this, Mo Bei was delighted, but he still asked, "Really? Are you afraid of heights?"
Seeing Tao Xiaotie tilting his head in confusion, Mo Bei immediately explained -
"I always like to get up during the night, and I'm afraid of disturbing others if I sleep on the top bunk."
"Then you can sleep on the lower bunk."
Tao Xiaotie was already extremely sleepy. After hearing what Mo Bei said, he yawned and crawled towards Lei Lie's upper bunk, seemingly not caring at all where he slept.
Seeing this, Mo Bei moved the luggage to where Bai Li got out of bed.
Because they had to get up early the next day, after choosing their beds, the contestants simply packed their luggage, washed up, and went to bed.
Of course, except Mo Bei.
As a zombie, he doesn't need sleep.
Therefore, after making sure that everyone was asleep, he went to the balcony alone to bask in the moonlight.
Because it wasn't a full moon tonight, it wasn't very bright. By the time daylight came up, Mo Bei hadn't absorbed much energy. But it was better than nothing. Any supplement was better than nothing.
At 6 a.m., the entire building was quiet. Having pulled a long sleep the night before, the contestants were still asleep.
The same thing happened in Dormitory No. 5, where Mo Bei lived. While the others were still asleep, he quietly went to the bathroom alone. Firstly, to check if his makeup had worn off, and secondly, to fix his hair and change his clothes.
Fortunately, the program crew did not install a camera in the bathroom, otherwise his secret would be completely exposed on camera.
By the time Mo Bei finished packing, it was already 7 o'clock. Just as he was about to go back to the dormitory, a lively song suddenly sounded on the radio.
Awakened by the disturbing singing, some contestants who were in a bad mood immediately cursed.
“…What the hell! What the hell is going on?”
"It's only what time now, can't we sleep?"
"Ah ...
"Oh my god...it's only 7 o'clock!"
"I don't want to get up, don't call me..."
"Wow, wow, wow, I still want to sleep a little longer..."
For a moment, the painful cries of the contestants could be heard one after another in the dormitory apartment building.
Bai Li climbed out of bed while yawning, looking extremely ugly.
Seeing Mo Bei looking so fresh and clean, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "What time did you get up?"
"Six o'clock."
“!!!”
"Oh my god! So early?"
Upon hearing this, not only Bai Li, but even Lei Lie couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Weren't you sleepy at all after recording the show so late yesterday?"
"Not bad." Mo Bei lied calmly, "I don't sleep enough."
As he said that, he put down the toiletries in his hand and said, "You better hurry up. The production team woke us up so early, there must be something going on later."
Upon hearing this, Lei Lie and Bai Li immediately got out of bed and washed up.
Seeing Tao Xiaotie still sleeping soundly in bed, Mo Bei thought for a moment and then climbed up the ladder to the upper bunk to the second floor and patted him.
"Get up."
Perhaps because children sleep a lot, Tao Xiaotie muttered and turned over to continue sleeping facing the wall.
Mo Bei wanted to shout again, but the music on the radio suddenly stopped. Instead, the host Zeng Yu's voice was replaced.
"A day's plan begins in the morning. After a night's rest, I'm sure everyone has recovered their spirits, right?"
Upon hearing this, the contestants who were brushing their teeth ranted furiously while holding their mouths full of foam.
"Recovery!"
"Do you know what time we went to bed last night? 3 o'clock! Even the landlord's donkey wouldn't be driven like that."
Yet the voice on the radio continued——
"Please gather in the cultural hall north of the dormitory in twenty minutes. Latecomers will be penalized with a 1000-meter physical test."
Upon hearing this, some contestants who were still dreaming suddenly woke up.
"Holy crap! A 1000-meter physical test?"
Not daring to stay in bed any longer, the contestants hurriedly put on their clothes and shoes and rushed into the bathroom.
With 20 people on one floor, even if the shared washroom was large enough, it still seemed incredibly crowded at that moment. Adding to the time pressure, it was even more chaotic.
"Where's my toothpaste?"
"Wait, those slippers seemed to be mine, how did you take them away?"
"A comb? Where's the comb?"
After a period of chaos, the contestants who had finally packed up did not waste time and rushed out of the dormitory building immediately.
Compared with the other contestants around him who had no image at all, some with messy hair, some wearing slippers, or some wearing the wrong socks, Mo Bei, who had already dressed neatly, stood out.
Seeing that the newcomer was still as calm and composed as an iceberg male god, Zhao Chen, who had just run out of the dormitory with his twin brothers, was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground.
Doesn't this guy need to sleep? He stayed up all night and got up early, so why does he look so energetic?
Facing the brothers' surprised looks, Mo Bei nodded slightly: "Good morning."
Unlike his more reserved brother, Zhao Xi asked directly: "Brother Mo Nan, how did you clean up so quickly?"
"Because I get up early."
At the side, Lei Lie, who also lived in Dormitory No. 5, couldn't help but interject, "He got up at 6 o'clock."
“!!!”
“???”
“6 o’clock?!”
He can stay so clear-headed after only sleeping for three hours. Is he still a human being?
In comparison, the yawning contestants around him looked like they were fishing at night and seemed particularly listless.
For a moment, the brothers Zhao Chen and Zhao Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Mo Bei.
Although the time given by the program team was very short, under the high pressure of the 1000-meter physical test, all 100 contestants arrived before the specified time.
The host was already waiting on the podium in the cultural hall.
Unlike the other contestants, he also stayed up late to record the show last night, but he still looked radiant.
Seeing the young guys who were so handsome yesterday now appearing in the playground in such a messy look, Zeng Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
After coughing lightly, he said seriously, "Very good. Although time is tight, no one is late. You have done a very good job."
Seeing that the crisis in the 1000m physical test was over, the athletes, whose nerves had been tense all the way, breathed a sigh of relief. Then came a sudden surge of deep sleepiness.
Before the contestants could even yawn twice, they heard the host on the stage continue to say -
"But waking up early is just the beginning. Your next task is to learn our program's theme song, 'Dream Chaser,' and complete the recording of the first stage performance within five days."
"The instructors will then take turns teaching the theme song's dance and vocal music lessons to classes of different levels. Three days later, each contestant will be assessed on their theme song singing and dancing performance."
"The assessment will be conducted through video recording. Each person will only have one recording opportunity."
"After the video recording is completed, the mentors will conduct a second evaluation based on the performance of each contestant in the video."
"If you perform well, your level will naturally rise. Conversely, if you perform poorly, your level will fall."
"By the way, if you can reach A-level in the second round of evaluation, you will be able to take the center stage during the theme song performance. And from the A-level contestants, another center position for this theme song will be selected."
"Not only can the C position perform in the most conspicuous position, but it can also be allocated a large section of individual shots."
"Conversely, F-ranked contestants will not be able to perform on stage for this theme song, and will not be featured on any screens."
“Once the theme song performance video is released, the voting channel will also be opened on the program’s official website.”
Zeng Yu paused, looking seriously at the contestants in the audience. "Whether or not you get the center position, this performance is very important to you. I hope you will work hard and seriously."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
Sensing the contestants' uneasiness, Zeng Yu smiled reassuringly and said, "Now, let instructor An Junze demonstrate the theme song dance for us."
