32 Injured
The fourth episode's main film changed from the warm and healing content with laughter and tears to a chaotic scene from the beginning.
It was obvious who had recorded it temporarily with a mobile phone. The camera was shaking and shaky, and people were not visible from time to time. All one could hear were the chaotic footsteps and people talking in low voices.
The camera squeezed into the crowd, swept across the faces of several young trainees who were at a loss, and finally focused on the person who was surrounded in the middle and sitting on the floor.
It’s Jiang Tong.
His expression showed more of a kind of confusion that had never appeared before than pain. In the previous episodes of the show, he had always appeared calm and self-disciplined, and also played the role of a leader among the trainees. At this moment, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, which showed that he was just a teenager.
He is only one year older.
The hearts of the people outside the screen and those inside the screen were gripped at the same time, and the screen inserted a synopsis of the previous situation at the right time. It turned out that when practicing the killing part of the chair dance on the third performance stage, he was unable to maintain his balance and fell heavily from the chair.
The moment he landed, Jiang Tong realized that the angle of his fall was not right, and this was terrible.
The hostility in the comments suddenly increased, with many sentences accusing Yuanxin of not fulfilling its responsibility to protect the trainees filling the entire screen. There were even accusations of being scripted and deliberately attracting attention, etc. But then the camera turned, and the doctor and election officials had already arrived.
The election supervisor called the emergency number. The company's team doctor squatted beside him, holding Jiang Tong's ankle to prevent him from moving. The ankle had swelled up rapidly. The doctor gave emergency treatment and gave the diagnosis: "It may be a bone fracture."
Jiang Tong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked very embarrassed, but he seemed to feel no pain. He stared at the doctor and asked, "How long will it take to recover?"
At this time, there was still a week until the next performance, but no matter what... with Jiang Tong's current condition, it would be impossible for him to go on stage and perform normally.
Jin Zeyu, who was in the same group with him this time, squatted beside him. Hearing this, he gently squeezed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it for now. There will always be a way."
Then Yuan Xiao's voice came from off-screen, "Okay, don't crowd here, don't you have anything to do?"
She walked over through the crowd, looking at the worry in everyone's eyes, and slowed down her tone a little, "Everyone go back to your practice rooms first, Jiang Tong will be fine."
Yuan Xiao chased the trainees out like chickens, then turned around and asked the election officer on duty: "When will the ambulance arrive?"
"Five minutes." The election officer raised his cell phone.
"Okay." She nodded, and then asked Jiang Tong: "Can you move a little? It will make too much noise to carry you on a stretcher, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."
Yuan Xiao had a good grasp of the trainees' personalities. Jiang Tong nodded quickly, "Don't do that. I'll go down by myself."
At this moment, only Jin Zeyu had not left. He didn't say any more nonsense. He put Jiang Tong's hand on his shoulder and let him support him. He slowly stood up with his uninjured foot, then handed it to the doctor for help and squatted in front of Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong suddenly became at a loss, "No... no need, I can jump and walk."
"No." The doctor rejected him first, "You'll get shocked if you move around."
Yuan Xiao said: "I'd better call the security guard over..."
She was not worried, as she only took a few steps to get to the elevator. Jin Zeyu had the best physique among the trainees, as strong as a little leopard, and was easily able to carry Jiang Tong on his back.
However, Jiang Tong is the team leader for this performance. Seeing that he will have to miss the next rehearsal and waste Jin Zeyu's time, I'm afraid that this already worried man will become even more anxious.
"No need." Jin Zeyu squatted steadily, not allowing anyone to refuse. "I'll send him downstairs and then come up. Sister Xiaoxiao, please take him to the hospital."
In fact, with a doctor's care, they could have taken a taxi to the hospital, but since the ambulance had already been called, Jiang Tong could only helplessly let someone help him into the ambulance.
After going through a lot of trouble to register and take X-rays at the hospital, the orthopedic doctor finally gave the conclusion: "The bone is fine, it's just a sprain, but it's quite serious. You can't do any strenuous exercise recently."
Jiang Tong became anxious when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Xiao, who had been following him, pressed his shoulders without questioning, "Don't move. Listen to the doctor."
"But..." He wanted to say something else, but Yuan Xiao's eyes were calm and unquestionable. Jiang Tong lowered his head and swallowed his worries.
He and Yuan Xiao both knew that now that things were set in stone, he would definitely not be able to participate in the next training, and it was even a question whether he could continue to take part in the program. No words of comfort would be of any use at this moment.
Yuan Xiao turned around and asked the election officer who came with her to see if there was an empty ward. If possible, he could stay in the hospital for a day for observation. She stayed by Jiang Tong's side until she saw the doctor put the stent on Jiang Tong, then she went out and made a phone call.
After a while, he returned to the ward and said to the pitiful Jiang Tong and the election officer, "Someone will come from the company to bring you some daily necessities. If you still need anything, please buy it for him temporarily."
"Take good care of your injuries and don't rush back to the company. I'll take care of the rest."
The injury incident ended here, but public opinion was not calmed down by Yuan Xiao's proper handling. Fans always feel sorry for their idols, and this is not considered as playing the victim. Jiang Tong's ankle was swollen and it was indeed visibly miserable.
The program left the topic in suspense here and did not continue broadcasting the solution their group discussed after Jiang Tong's absence. Instead, when broadcasting the content of other groups, it mentioned Jiang Tong who had taken vocal lessons in a wheelchair in the company several times.
Both he and Yan Fan were thin, and unlike Yan Fan, they had not been exercising for a long time. Now he was curled up in a wheelchair, like a paper man.
It was not until the second half of the third episode, just before their group was about to go on stage, that the malicious "Ouwei" production crew continued this plot.
Jiang Tong is a person with a very thoughtful personality. In Yuan Xiao's words, she is like a famous supporting actress in a popular TV series in another world.
After he came back from the hospital, Yuan Xiao did not talk to him alone again. She just told him through the election supervisor to practice singing normally first and not to rush into dancing. She also provided him with a wheelchair.
His sudden absence completely disrupted the movements that their group had already rehearsed. In the short time left before the performance, both the choreography and the lyrics had to be redesigned.
Jiang Tong was certainly unwilling to accept this.
The doctor's advice was to rest for at least a month, and he wanted to try to stand up on the third day.
The moment his injured foot touched the ground, Jiang Tong felt an piercing pain. He stood up unsteadily and almost fell again. Fortunately, someone reached out from behind and supported him in time.
It was Pei Zijin. Jin Zeyu was also there, looking at him with a slightly helpless look.
"Sit still and don't move." Pei Zijin let Jiang Tong use his arm for support and sat back on the wheelchair. Before he could come up with any reason to justify his impulsive behavior, Jin Zeyu walked around behind him and pushed Jiang Tong away.
"I... eh?"
Jiang Tong had a confused look on his face. He was abducted by the two men without any resistance. He walked through a long corridor. From time to time, someone would greet them with a smile, as if they knew something and were hiding it from him.
Jiang Tong was full of questions and turned to look at Jin Zeyu.
"Didn't we agree on this before? I'll take you somewhere." Jin Zeyu pushed the wheelchair into the elevator easily, as if there was no one sitting in it. "Don't worry, I've asked for leave from Sister Xiaoxiao, so it doesn't count as skipping class."
He thought for a moment, and added carefully as the elevator descended: "But it can be considered a jailbreak."
Pei Zijin took out three black masks from his pocket and gave one to each of them. He also held a handheld camera in his hand. It was obvious that these two guys... had planned this in advance.
As planned, he pushed him away from the fangirls at the door and hailed a taxi from the back door of the company. Pei Zijin helped him sit in the back seat, and Jin Zeyu folded the wheelchair and stuffed it into the trunk of the car.
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
It's too much to keep you in suspense.
Jiang Tong endured it, what else could he do? He couldn't fight back, and he couldn't run away either. At least he wouldn't be kidnapped somewhere and sold.
After more than 40 minutes of driving, they finally stopped at the entrance of a famous art park in the capital. Jiang Tong looked at Jin Zeyu and the latter shook his phone: "Let's go. I checked. Today is the right time."
When he entered the door, he was mistaken for a disabled person and asked if he needed help. Jiang Tong almost died on the spot. However, after Pei Zijin and Jin Zeyu pushed him for a while and passed through several small paths, a small sunken square suddenly appeared in front of them. Jiang Tong finally understood what he was going to do.
"How is it? Now I share my secret base with you two."
This is a small open-air stage specially designed by the park for musicians to perform. It is equipped with microphones and speakers. Anyone who wants can go on stage.
There was no one on the stage at that moment, only a few children running and jumping around. When three of their outstanding young men came on stage and began to openly adjust the microphone, passers-by gradually cast curious glances at them.
Pei Zijin put away the several small cameras he brought with him. This was one of the prerequisites for Yuan Xiao to agree to let them come out. After all, their flash mob plan was to cheer up Jiang Tong, who had been feeling depressed recently. Yuan Xiao did not make things difficult for them, and even the staff just followed them from a distance.
It's the capital, nothing will happen.
"Do you often come here to sing? Weren't you always in Beijing before?" Even though he had recorded several performances, Jiang Tong was a little nervous singing on such a wild stage without any rehearsal, and in a wheelchair. He held the unturned microphone tightly and asked Jin Zeyu.
"There are other places with this kind of stage. Pei Zijin is singing in the club, so I also need a place to try out the new songs I created. I found this place after I came to Yuanxin. When we first started training, we came here when we were free after class." Jin Zeyu looked a little guilty. He was facing the camera with a microphone, so it was hard to say that he skipped class.
But the other two obviously understood, and the look in their eyes when they looked at him was slightly mocking.
As soon as this expression came out, the comments also understood, and the whole screen was filled with laughter:
"As expected of you, Jin Zeyu, hahaha, you are such a rebellious son."
"Don't tell us, leave us Aze some underwear!"
“@原晓@原晓@原晓”
"Then you brought Pei Pei and Jiang Jiang here, right Jin Zeyu, you crazy romantic."
It was indeed romantic. Jin Zeyu switched his phone to the music software interface, pointed it at the microphone, and asked Jiang Tong: "What are you singing?"
What to sing? Jiang Tong was confused. What should I sing?
Pei Zijin patted him on the shoulder at the right time and encouraged him: "Sing whatever you want to sing, don't think too much."
This time, just follow your instinct.

It’s great that I finally have the opportunity to talk about my writing ideas.
The core plot of this article is the story of the heroine forming and operating a boy group and a girl group as an agent. If you want to get involved in the idol industry, you must first have investment and manpower, so I designed a company for her, but it cannot operate idols, otherwise there will be no place for the heroine - after having investment and manpower, she officially started to form a boy group. I have mentioned in the article why I wrote about the boy group first, so I will not repeat it. According to the usual practice at home and abroad, idols are all from trainees - in order to find excellent trainees, the heroine started auditions (this part of the plot is based on a similar audition plan of a certain domestic music company nineteen years ago) - because the strength of the auditioned trainees was uneven, they were screened and eliminated after a period of training (refer to the current situation of trainees in domestic and foreign entertainment) - at this stage, in order to maintain a reasonable revenue for the company's operations and out of consideration for the rhythm of the novel, the heroine chose to expose the trainees in advance, do variety shows to accumulate popularity and sell peripherals to make profits (the setting of the variety show debut battle is based on According to a "famous" training company in domestic entertainment, reasonable adaptation has abandoned some dross) - Peripheral production requires the heroine to have the skills of a fan club sister and an artist, and at the same time can provide a perspective between stf and fans. The categories are some standard official weekly and fan weekly categories (this part of the experience comes from me, shooting and retouching, part-time artist, including the grating eye strips and light-changing small cards mentioned in the article are real and reproducible, not to mention the dolls and transparent cards. The real objects will not be displayed. Maybe I can make some peripherals for Yuan Xiao for everyone to draw in the future) - During the debut battle, the trainees developed a deep emotional bond (based on the fact that domestic entertainment has already had many popular group variety shows) - Excellent stage out of the circle (domestic entertainment still has some stages that can break the circle, but unfortunately most of them are still provided to mature artists, which is a beautiful expectation) - Finally, the group debuts normally and releases an album. The next operation will be a suspense for now. After all, it hasn't been written yet, and you are welcome to keep supervising.
I feel that my writing habits are quite rigorous. I can basically ensure that the plot has a basis in reality and is feasible before I put it into a novel.

As for why I want to write this, I have to admit that some companies really gave me a feeling that I can do it, but I won’t go into details [clown]
above.
It is indeed a bit inconvenient to mention the specific sources of the material. I will study it and maybe post it as a reference when I finish writing it? I have learned about quite a lot of groups...
