Time flies, and before we know it, the day of the final has quietly arrived.
The finals were more serious than the previous performances. There were three rehearsals. During the finals, Bai Li checked the on-site equipment and the process again and again, for fear of finding the slightest mistake.
"Check each set of choreography again!"
"Start lift No. 2 again!"
The staff in the entire studio were busy, and the fifteen students had also put on their makeup and done their styling, racing against time to make intensive pre-match preparations.
The venue of the finals was moved to the Yinhui Sports Center in H City. The huge circular gymnasium can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. At the same time, the entire group night was broadcast live on the Internet video platform, and the number of viewers before the game had reached tens of millions.
At 7:15 pm, the "Dream Plan" group night finally officially began -
The huge LED screen at the scene began to play scenes, starting with the golden pyramid seats, then the slightly green students came on stage to introduce themselves and start their first performance, followed by shooting the theme song MV, then performances, games, and team building at the beach...
In just a few minutes, the memories of the past three months were brought together. Most of the fans who came to watch the finals have been with the students from the beginning to the end. When they saw this video, it was as if they had returned to the starting point in an instant and walked the journey of this summer again.
Some fans have already shed tears. Three months is not too long, and it will be a period of time that they will not forget for a long, long time.
The video ended, and after three seconds of silence, the familiar melody of the theme song suddenly sounded. The moment the lights came on, the audience couldn't help but cheer in surprise. Ninety-nine students were neatly arranged on the huge stage. All of them were wearing neat uniforms, looking handsome and neat, and showing bright smiles to the camera!
[Ahhh, I really burst into tears! Everyone is back!]
[It seems like I have suddenly returned to the episode when everyone recorded the theme song. It’s so nice qaq]
The students who had been eliminated before also returned to the stage, all of them in high spirits, and danced to the beat of "Summer Journey" again. Although summer has passed, their journey has just begun. The fans in the stadium couldn't help but sing along with this familiar melody, from hundreds of people to thousands of people, and finally to a chorus of tens of thousands, creating a moving and spectacular scene.
The theme song ended, the stage rose and fell, and the host Pan Li and the four Dream Camp mentors appeared on the stage in their best attire, and greeted everyone with a smile amid the warm applause and cheers from the audience.
"We, the audience at the scene or watching the live broadcast, including our students, have been looking forward to this moment for a long time." Pan Li said, "Please look to the front of the stage--"
Some people turned their heads as he spoke, and discovered that after the stage adjustment, a long stage passage appeared opposite the main stage. Opposite the passage was a brand new stage with six brightly lit seats, shining brightly in the dim night.
"Tonight, a total of six students will qualify for the group. They will then walk along this long flower path towards their own positions." Pan Li said, "Tonight, fifteen students will have their final solo performances, and each of our fans will have one last chance to vote."
"If you like him," Pan Li said with a smile, "just give them your flowers in person."
After the voting rules were announced, the scene fell into darkness again. A moment later, without all the lights being turned on, a beam of quiet white light suddenly shone on one of the square stages of the main stage, illuminating the people on the stage.
It is Xu Shaoyang, who was ranked 15th in the previous round.
He stood on the stage, holding the microphone, and sang a song "Never Give Up".
He participated in three talent shows and missed his dream time and time again. This time he was ranked 15th and his chances of joining a group were very slim, but Xu Shaoyang used this song to express his attitude to others.
This time, next time, and the next time... he will never give up.
Then, the beam of light slowly moved across the stage. The next person to appear was Wan'an, followed by Wang Yiming, Qi Rui, Luo Hui... The time for individual solo performances was limited. In just less than two minutes, these boys' more than ten years of sweat, persistence, hope and dreams were condensed.
This is their last chance provided by "Dream Maker Project". They should give their best and go all out to present the most wonderful stage for those who support them.
The lights shifted again, and Qiu Shuang, wearing a blue T-shirt and a white jacket, appeared in the audience's field of vision. His hair was styled like a wolf's tail, and he sat on a high stool holding a guitar, playing and singing a song "Want to Go to the Beach" by himself.
In the past, Qiu Shuang was always full of energy and vigor. When he sat down to sing a romantic and refreshing love song, he suddenly burst into another kind of charming charm, like a handsome and reliable senior boyfriend. When he smiled and opened his arms to you, he could give you a unique sense of romance and security in the world.
[Shuang Ge’s look is so cool! Weld a wolf tail onto his head! ]
[I feel like I underestimated Qiu Shuang’s ability before. He can easily handle explosive songs, and his dark style is amazing. His solo tonight is even more eye-opening! !]
[Shuang's eyes are so clear. When he looks at me, it's like my heart is struck. Ahhhh, help me! My heart is beating like crazy! !]
After the performance, Qiu Shuang put away his guitar and stood up, winking at the audience, causing the girls to scream wildly. The beam moved, and Xu Qiongzhi was now on the stage. He could be said to be the sweetest-looking boy in the camp, and his sweetness was not fake. His natural curly hair, long and thick eyelashes like a small fan, cat-like almond eyes, and jelly-like lips formed a cute face like an angel. Many people thought that he was most suitable for singing sweet songs, but if you think about it carefully, Xu Qiongzhi had never sung sweet songs or even love songs on the several stages in the Dream Camp.
Many fans expressed deep regret, but on the final stage, their little idol fulfilled their wishes and sang a song that couldn't be more classic, "Dimple".
The curly-haired boy actually has two dimples. When he sang a love song with a beautiful voice while smiling, the fans in the audience said that they were almost dying of sweetness! !
[What’s in Zhizhi’s dimples? It’s sugar, lots of sugar!!]
[It really sounds good! Objectively speaking, Xu Qiongzhi's vocal ability can actually be ranked in the top three in the camp! It's just that his appearance and personality are too deceptive, like a silly vase hahaha]
[My Zhizhi is the sweetest baby in the world! Come on, baby, I’ll give you a gift!!]
The next one is Li Jingfei, who was ranked fourth last time.
The stage lights came on, and the first thing that caught the audience's eyes was a completely black drum set. A black-haired boy in a dark red shirt sat behind the drum set and picked up the drumsticks.
The audience couldn't help but scream before the show even started:
[Oh my god, it’s Li Jingfei in red today!!]
[Brother Fei can also play the drums? This hidden skill is so cool! ! ]
Suddenly, there was a "dong" sound, and the scene suddenly became quiet. Some audience members turned their eyes to the boy in red. The white drumstick was raised and lowered in his slender hands, hitting the pure black drum surface in coordination with the accompaniment, one-sided, alternating between left and right hands, hitting the cymbals, stepping on the drums... The drumstick was so fast that it seemed to have its own life, flying up and down in a dazzling manner. The music became faster and faster, and the drum beats became more and more frequent. Some people's nerves became excited following the dynamic drum beats, and they were so happy that their scalps were numb and they wanted to scream!
In such a boiling and heated atmosphere, the performer's expression remained calm and composed, but at this moment no one misunderstood the boy as indifferent. He was like a ball of blazing flame, burning silently but with enough energy to set the prairie on fire.
[Isn’t Li Jingfei the ultimate cold-outside-but-warm-inside person? I really love him so much!!]
[People fear the deep and cold sea, and forget its gentleness and tolerance. I am lucky to meet such an excellent boy, Li Jingfei, today we will watch you walk on the flower path!]
[I have been with him all the way, from being unknown to being well-known, I have thousands of words to say but only want to say one thing: Li Jingfei, you are worth it (heart)]
The fierce drumming faded away and gentle piano music sounded. Under the stage lights as white as moonlight, Ming Yuechen, wearing a silver tuxedo, sat in front of the piano and sang a song called "AthousandYears".
No one can describe the feeling at this moment. It is like a person bathing in the quiet and sacred moonlight and forgetting all worries and troubles, and it is as if he has traveled through thousands of years and met the indispensable person in his life when the wind and snow gradually subsided.
The man wore a pair of silver-framed glasses on his straight nose, and his profile was perfect and elegant, like a moon god. His bony hands fluently played incredible notes on the black and white keys, forming a long, bewitching line that gently wrapped around people's hearts.
[I dare not breathe loudly... This scene is so beautiful that I feel like I am dreaming qaq]
[Ming Yuechen is really the king! ! This noble and elegant outfit is absolutely amazing. I don’t see this kind of temperament in many big stars in the entertainment industry! ]
[Ming Yue Su is indeed worthy of her reputation. After listening to this song, I, a person who is afraid of marriage, want to get married. It is really too beautiful...]
[Help, this man is a curse! ! I really want to marry him ah ah ah ah ah ah crazy screaming! ! ]
After the piano music ended, the screams from the audience did not diminish at all, and the volume even tended to increase in decibels - He Xizhou was wearing a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap, with the hood of the sweatshirt folded over the baseball cap, and he stood quietly with his hands in his trouser pockets and his head down under the stage lights.
[Fuck, he is worthy of being called bking, this scene instantly filled up b.]
[Although you are arrogant, I have to say you are really handsome! ! ]
[I have a feeling that the King of Dragging will use his ultimate move tonight]
The moment the music started and the beat picked up, He Xizhou's joints seemed to have automatically turned on some kind of switch, stretching and vibrating in an instant, from his chest to his upper arms and lower arms to his fingertips, every muscle of the boy seemed to be controlled by electric current, and the timing was perfect and precise to an incredible degree.
[Wow, this level of control is really human? ? ]
[This is a human card machine!!]
[The passers-by were stunned. How can someone of this level participate in a talent show? ? This is already a professional level!]
[The previous one had good eyesight, he has indeed won the world championship hahahaha]
He Xizhou's dance was completely freestyle. He was so excited that he didn't care about the stage restrictions. He moved all over the place. The lights above his head couldn't catch up with him. The audience opened their mouths in shock. It seemed as if the boy had springs on his feet. His flexible and complex dance steps were amazing. Several big loops caused the audience to scream. He quickly stopped the movements and did several backflips before he could stand firmly. His black sweatshirt slipped down, revealing his thin and powerful waist with perfect lines. The roof of the gymnasium was almost blown off by the screams.
[Ahhh, the King of Dragging is the best!!!]
[Wow, this is simply exciting! I knew He Xizhou was good before, but I didn’t expect him to be this good! I’m kneeling down to offer my respect!!]
[Cool and sexy! He Xizhou is really invincible in dancing!]
[Is this really improvisation? ? I can only say that world-class performances are different, so cool!!]
Because "Dream Maker" selects a boy band, each performance is presented in a group mode. The audience only sees He Xizhou's extraordinary performance in each performance, not knowing that this actually limits his true level.
No one in his team could keep up with his level, and for the sake of the overall effect, he had actually been lowering his own level to cooperate with his teammates. In this final solo, he finally had the chance to play freely and to his heart's content.
The cheers lasted for a long time, and the light beam moved slowly, finally reaching the solo stage of the last student.
[Ahhh, my Yingying is finally here!]
[Help! Why do I feel more nervous than Ye Ying?!]
[Me too! He Gegang’s solo was so explosive, I’m afraid Ying Ying will be suppressed by him qaq]
Many viewers are curious about what Ye Ying will perform on the final stage. Since the show started, he seems to have tried all kinds of styles, and each time he gives people a surprise. Will it be an explosive dance or a stunning vocal this time?
The beam of light came on. There was no stunning appearance, nor any extra surprises. The boy stood on the stage wearing a simple white shirt, just like he did on his first stage performance.
Some people were worried that he would be overshadowed by He Xizhou in front of him, but the moment he opened his mouth, this worry disappeared without a trace, and even the distracting thoughts in his mind turned into smoke and disappeared quietly.
There was only the ethereal sound in my ears, like a silent snowfall covering the world, lonely and healing, gentle and delicate enough to make people want to cry. In his first performance, he sang a song called "Light in the Cracks". At that time, the young man was still trapped in the abyss, unconsciously calling for help with his singing.
Now, he sang "For the Light".
He walked out of the darkness, bringing with him a warm light, and began to redeem another him.
Some people began to sob softly. They looked at the young man on the stage, as if they saw the silent and shy boy at the beginning, and saw him going through all the ups and downs and still retaining the cleanest and purest appearance.
The green sea of lights waved gently along with Shao's singing, like a gentle and firm response -
You are already our light.
The fifteen solo performances have all ended, the stage lights are all turned on, the final round of voting has ended, and after the tense vote counting process, the host and mentors returned to the stage. The fifteen students also stood in three rows in a stair-like manner on one side of the stage, waiting for the most exciting moment to arrive.
"Now everyone can see that the group list is in my hand." Pan Li shook the card in his hand, causing the audience to be shocked. "Our flower road has also been opened. The students of the group will set foot on this flower road and lead to their own Dao seat."
"Now, I will announce the final team roster, are you ready?"
Thousands of people at the scene shouted in unison: "Ready!!"
Pan Li looked at the card in his hand and said, "The first person I'm going to announce is the student who ranked fourth in the final round."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room almost exploded.
Pan Li: "He is not the oldest among the students, but he always gives people a sense of trust and security. Wherever he is, there is a backbone."
The fans in the audience started to get agitated, and some students in the seats began to look away.
"When you first meet him, you might think he's difficult to approach and get along with, but after getting to know him, you'll find that he has a warm heart beneath the iceberg, and he can give you warmth even in the cold winter—" Pan Li said, "He is—"
The roars of thousands of fans echoed in the air: "Li Jingfei!!"
"That's right," Pan Li said loudly with a smile, "Congratulations to Li Jingfei for winning fourth place with 124,300 votes!"
Ye Ying looked at the boy next to her with a smile, walked up to him and gave him a tight hug. Li Jingfei patted his head with a warm smile in his eyes.
"Congratulations, Brother Fei!"
“Well-deserved!”
Other students also came forward to hug Li Jingfei, and He Xizhou also came over and bumped his shoulders with him: "Congratulations."
Li Jingfei smiled, and at Pan Li's instruction, walked to the front of the stage to give a speech to the group.
"I am not good at speaking, and I have been let down by my efforts many times. So at the beginning of the show, I never thought that I would be blessed with success this time." Li Jingfei held the microphone in front of him. The fans in the audience gradually stopped shouting and looked at him with tears in their eyes.
"I am very grateful to the company's program team for providing me with this opportunity, and I am also grateful to those who like me for sending me to this position." Li Jingfei doesn't say too many nice words, and he said in a deep and firm voice, "I will not let you down."
Fans shouted his name crazily. Li Jingfei bowed to the audience, stepped onto the shining flower path amid applause, crossed the long stage, and walked to his seat number four.
"Now, let me announce the third-ranked student." Luo Ziteng said with a smile, "His name is surrounded by light, and he is regarded by everyone as the most 'su' man——"
“Ming Yue Su——” The high-pitched screams of the fans in the audience could be heard faintly on the stage, “Say it to me!!”
Luo Ziteng smiled: "Moonlight also has the power to warm people's hearts. Congratulations to Ming Yuechen for winning the third place in the group with 14020 votes!"
The applause was thunderous. Ming Yuechen lowered his head slightly and held the microphone: "Thank you for the company's training, and thank you for my friends who support and encourage me. It is my honor to meet you."
The handsome boy was still impeccably calm and elegant, but the smile on his face seemed more genuine than ever. He walked along the flower path to the group table, and Li Jingfei smiled at him and raised his hand to clap his hands.
Pei Changxu picked up the card: "I am announcing the sixth-ranked student."
Xu Qiongzhi's palms began to feel cold. Ye Ying looked back at him, then quietly reached back and grasped his palms.
"He is a born musician and everyone's happy fruit. Wherever he is, there are always laughter and joy." Pei Changxu said with a smile, "He has a really cute appearance and is a well-deserved powerful singer. The youngest boy in the Dream Camp, your future will definitely be bright and open! He is——"
"Xu Qiongzhi, won the sixth place with 89,992,098 votes, congratulations!"
Xu Qiongzhi cried out "Ah!" and the students around him came to hug him one by one with a smile. Ye Ying wiped his tears and said, "We'll be shooting soon. Be careful not to smudge your makeup and look ugly."
Xu Qiongzhi swallowed the next howl in her throat, sniffed hard, walked to the microphone, and was about to speak -
I found that the microphone was out of reach.
The two people who just spoke were over 185cm tall, and the microphone was held higher up by them. At this moment, they were looking straight into Xu Qiongzhi's eyes, as if making a silent mockery.
Xu Qiongzhi: “…”
[Hahahaha help me I was crying why did the scene suddenly become so funny!!]
[Zhizhi is really making trouble all the time. I will die of laughter sooner or later.]
[Hahaha, congratulations to the Zhizhi group! With this funny guy in it, this group will definitely be very, very lively!!]
Xu Qiongzhi put down the microphone and began to speak. He thanked the most people, including his parents, friends, teachers and fans. Finally, he bowed vigorously, with red eyes and nose, and said: "Thank you everyone! I will work super hard in the future and not let you down!!"
Amidst warm applause, Xu Qiongzhi strode across the flower path, rushed over to Li Jingfei and Ming Yuechen, hugged them, and stood at her own group seat with a silly grin on her face.
Fan Le: "Now I will announce the top five. He is the epitome of enthusiasm, and he has the most infectious smile. He is the brightest sunshine in summer, and where he is, the sky is always clear—"
The fans below started shouting names. Fan Le said, "He is Qiu Shuang! 92.8 million 3,345 votes, fifth place, congratulations!"
Qiu Shuang smiled and waved at everyone, holding the microphone: "I never thought that I could finally speak. I know that I still have many shortcomings in my ability. I am supported by everyone. Maybe you also like my enthusiasm?"
The girls in the audience shouted "yes" in unison, and Qiu Shuang smiled even more clearly: "I will continue to bring warmth to everyone in the future. Thank you for those who like me!"
The four group seats have been named, and the most crucial thing is the first and second place, that is, the final candidate for the C position.
Pan Li turned around and looked at the side: "Let's give this great and glorious task to Teacher Wang, right?"
Wang He smiled, raised the microphone and asked the audience: "Who do you think will be the center in the end?"
This question was like water dripping into a frying pan, and the whole audience exploded:
“Ye Ying Ye Ying Ye Ying!!!”
“He Xizhou He Xizhou He Xizhou——!!”
The overwhelming sound waves at the scene almost overturned the venue, and the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded to the point where it was completely invisible. Tens of thousands of densely packed comments could not escape these five words.
Wang He smiled and covered his ears, then raised his hand for everyone to be quiet.
"I think there are people who are just as impatient as I am, so I won't sell it out." Wang He said, "Next, I will announce the first-ranked student, that is, the student who will get the center position of the group."
The whole audience held their breath!
"He created a myth," Wang He said with a smile. "Three months ago, no one knew his name. Three months later, millions of people cheered for his coronation."
Before he finished speaking, the surging sound like waves from the audience could hardly be stopped, and many fans burst into tears, unable to cover their tears with their hands.
"He has the best qualities: sincere, brave, tenacious, strong, and never forgets his original intention."
"He conquered everyone with his strength. Today, he stands in the most shining position. He deserves it!" Wang He read the name loudly, "Congratulations to Ye Ying, 18888 votes, first place!"
Amid the background sound of thunder and sea, Ye Ying was hugged tightly by the boy next to her, who whispered a warm "congratulations" in her ear.
Ye Ying hugged him back tightly, her eyes slightly hot: "Thank you."
They didn't say anything more, but at that moment they knew that this "thank you" meant more than just the surface meaning.
Thank you for calling me when I first approached Class A's practice room.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction every time I was confused and hesitant.
Thank you for opening your arms to me in every storm.
Thank you for taking me to the highest place and letting me see the most beautiful scenery I have never seen before.
Thank you for this journey... for always having you by my side.
He Xizhou let go of Ye Ying, looked at him deeply, and said with a smile: "Go."
Ye Ying nodded and walked to the front of the stage amidst the grand cheers.
"I want to thank a lot of people." Ye Ying held the microphone, "Thank you to the program director for your care and concern for me in the past three months; thank you to my classmates and friends in the camp for your warmth and tolerance. Every smile, every word of concern, and every helping hand you gave me means a lot to me."
The students on and off the stage smiled and waved at him vigorously.
"Thank you to those who like me. You made me realize the meaning of being an idol and gave me the motivation and courage to move forward." Ye Ying looked towards the audience. "Finally, I want to thank my family. Thank you for letting me go home."
Ye Yi was already crying so hard that he couldn't speak in the audience seats. Ye Mingyuan was sitting next to him, looking at the figure in the center of the stage, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes.
"Thanks to fate," Ye Ying's eyes were bright, "Participating in the Dream Maker Project is the best decision I have made in my eighteen years."
The thunderous applause lasted for a long time. Wang He said: "Congratulations to Ye Ying for winning the first place. Let us also congratulate He Xizhou for winning the second place in the group with 18012 votes!!"
Fans at the scene shouted He Xizhou's name loudly, and many girls cried uncontrollably. He Xizhou walked to the front of the stage, held the microphone and smiled: "I have no regrets about today's performance. The center position is excellent and he deserves that position. I don't regret participating in this program. I am very happy and looking forward to meeting some people and performing on stage with them."
"This is not an outcome. This is a new beginning for me," he said.
For some, it's a new beginning.
Ye Ying and He Xizhou walked side by side along the long flower path amid thunderous applause and cheers from the audience. The four teammates hugged each other one by one and stood together on their own glorious and dazzling team seats.
All the cheering signs in the venue lit up at this moment, forming a vast sea of light with stars dotted across it. A brilliant golden rain of flowers fell from the sky above the studio, and the six young men stood at the highest point, with the sincerity in their eyes even hotter than the sea of light.
Behind them, a huge LED screen lit up, and a brilliant group logo slowly emerged, announcing the birth of this new group with a bright future.
aurora (aurora).
