33 Idealism (including forum style)
The three of them sang many, many songs that day.
If the entire film was broadcast, Yuan Xiaoguang would have gone bankrupt by paying the copyright fees, so he had to make a quick edit, fast-forwarding a few minutes from the afternoon to the sun setting behind the horizon.
Jiang Tong was a little hesitant at first, his voice was trembling, and he didn't dare to sing loudly, but Pei Zijin and Jin Zeyu always followed him.
Sometimes they sing in chorus, sometimes solo, and sometimes just two people sing duet if they meet someone who knows how to sing. Countless people stand in front of the stage and leave. No one recognizes them because they are wearing masks and have not yet debuted, but they are always generous with their warm applause after a song ends.
In the end, Jiang Tong also went crazy with the two of them. He didn't care what song it was, or whether it was suitable or not, or whether he could sing it well or not. He just sang whatever he thought of. When he saw flowers, he sang about flowers; when he thought of the sunset, he sang about the sunset. If he couldn't find accompaniment, he sang a cappella; if he couldn't remember the lyrics, he just made up some random arrangements, until his voice became hoarse and he was exhausted.
It feels great. To be honest, I have lost all my rationality and image. It feels really, really great.
He no longer had to think about what happened yesterday or what would happen in the future. It was as if the heavy burden he had been carrying for many years was finally lifted. He felt so light now that he seemed to be able to fly.
Yes, young man, that's how it should be.
It was not until the park closed and the security guard came to chase them away that Jin Zeyu put away his low-battery phone and asked Jiang Tong with a smile, "Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Tong couldn't help laughing, and his narrow eyes curved into a crescent moon outside the mask, "Too crazy."
But it's good, so good, it couldn't be better.
They will have many, many futures, many, many beautiful afternoons like today, he believed it now.

The scene didn't end here. They packed up and went back to the company. The moment the elevator door opened and they returned to the 14th floor, Jiang Tong was surprised to find that everyone was there.
Trainees from the show "I Am Not Alone", selection managers, and even trainees who were not selected in the first phase but did not leave the company came. They looked at him, smiled, and cheered: "Jiang Tong, happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday Jiang Jiang!"
"Brother Jiang, be happy not only today, but every day!"
He was surprised for the umpteenth time today.
Time always flies by quickly once you start training, and he encountered such an accident a few days ago, so he even forgot that today was his birthday.
Jin Zeyu and Pei Zijin pushed him through the crowd and through the corridors that he walked countless times every day. At the end, Yuan Xiao leaned against the wall and saw them coming. He took out two gifts, an ankle brace and a piece of cake.
The fixator should be specially customized, very light and supportive. Except that he still cannot do strenuous exercise, there is almost no problem from the outside. Standing and walking are much easier. Yuan Xiao has never considered not allowing him to step onto the stage he has worked so hard for.
There was even a cake. The cake was not small, but with so many people sharing it, it was probably enough for everyone to take a bite and taste it. Looking at the group of children who had been eating regularly for a long time and whose eyes were almost green, Yuan Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Come on, today we can make an exception, and the birthday boy can get an extra piece - but you can't practice physical fitness recently, so you still can't eat too much, just taste it."
"Jiang Tong, happy eighteenth birthday."
The program screen transitioned from a freeze frame of Jiang Tong looking up with tears in her eyes to a dark stage. The accompaniment gradually became stronger, mixed with samples of alarm sounds, echoing in the scene of thousands of people, making people's hearts tighten.
The camera zooms in. In the dim stage light, Jiang Tong is huddled under the stairs, his body hunched over. His voice is lonely, distant and sad: "The young man raises his face and heads for his moon."*
He sighed softly as he took a breath, as if he was trapped by life and overwhelmed: "People laugh at him for being arrogant, but how can people be different?"*
Jin Zeyu came out from the darkness and half-knelt in front of Jiang Tong, just like when he was injured, and stretched out his hand to him: "You are both right, he said please, move aside."*
The rest of the people followed the lyrics and appeared to the beat of the drums, surrounding Jiang Tong. Everyone had their wounds made up, as if to warm him, or to set up a barrier, using friendship and ideals to block the cold wind from the whole world.
After the main song, Jin Zeyu was the first to stand up, like a warrior, and the others followed suit, dancing in a re-arranged formation to the suddenly heavier drum beats. The force of each movement seemed to give the world a hard punch, and the pronunciation was high-pitched and passionate. The young men would never admit defeat.
The chair dance that injured Jiang Tong before removed the most dangerous step on the back of the chair, but it was interpreted by other members and was still neat and free. They danced on transparent chairs, their movements were light and nimble, as if they were stepping on the wind.
Jiang Tong turned around, the light behind him was as cold and clear as the moon. He stood on the steps and looked at them from afar. With his share, he tore through the darkness and stepped into the bright road without looking back.
The feeling of breaking free was like a wave rising higher and higher, until the last chorus, the whole group simply raised their clenched fists, held out the microphone, and invited the whole audience to sing together:
"Let me get drunk, and recite two or three poems in the palace."
"Let me wear white clothes, walk through Lunatic Alley, and fish for moonlight in the mire."
"I hope the adults will forgive me for giving you some advice. I understand and I don't want to pretend."
"People are looking for the golden city, I am looking for the moon, why should we go together——"*
Their performance brought the audience into the emotion, so the chorus also became the power of the stage.
It was a great stage, these young people brought the song selection to its fullest, and interpreted it in a different flavor from the original, which really ignited the whole audience. This stage can be called the MVP of the third public performance, both in terms of the overall effect and its significance to Jiang Tong personally.
A person who was always tense suddenly learned to relax and to enjoy the stage. As the saying goes, this is called enlightenment.
This means that Jiang Tong has become a qualified performer, and Yuan Xiao is quite satisfied with this.
After the performance, the members did not even have time to wait for the ending pose to pass over each of their faces, and they ran impatiently to pick Jiang Tong up and down the stairs. It was not until then that the audience realized something was wrong, and the whispers gradually increased and gathered into a torrent.
There were many more fans and station sisters who came to the third public recording than in the previous two episodes. Of course, there were also people like Zheng Xiyan who had watched the previous performances and were seamlessly attracted to the show. Immediately, fans in the front rows loudly asked what was wrong?
Jin Zeyu supported Jiang Tong and slowly walked to the center of the stage, and then they bowed deeply to the mentors and the audience.
Gu Yuchen picked up the microphone on the table in front of him and took the initiative to speak: "Jiang Tong, please tell us about your situation yourself. Everyone is very worried about you."
They all had microphones on, and Jiang Tong quickly raised the microphone: "I accidentally sprained my ankle while practicing dancing. I'm very sorry that I couldn't bring you the best stage experience..."
Before he could finish, the fans in the audience started to whine:
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"Don't say sorry, no need to apologize, woooo, woooo, Jiang Jiang, you are the best baby!"
Jiang Tong didn't think anything of it at first, but when he heard the comfort, he couldn't hold it in anymore. However, he still insisted on finishing his words: "...But don't worry, I've recovered very well. Now I can basically move around on my own. Thank you very much for your support."
Jin Zeyu was standing next to him, still singing in that lazy voice, a little out of breath from dancing. He didn't even raise his hand, but leaned over to talk to Jiang Tong's microphone: "Yes, we mainly want to finally have a chance to show our team's solidarity and friendship."
He just couldn't stand this kind of sentimental atmosphere, and had to make a few jokes to make everyone laugh and cry.
Yuan Xiao also smiled, her eyebrows slightly relaxed, as if the clouds and mist had cleared, and for the first time in history, she said something nice: "You performed well on this stage."
Even Jiang Tong, who was the calmest, opened his eyes wide. He and Jin Zeyu looked at each other and almost couldn't believe his ears.
Su Chen and Yu Le, the next group in the backstage who had been paying attention to the situation here, were almost going crazy with jealousy. Ahhhhh, Sister Xiaoxiao praised them!
"The teacher gave me feedback that some of the adaptation ideas were your own, and they were very smart in playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, but the transitions between each performance were still awkward. Since you are now standing on the stage, lack of time cannot be an excuse."
"After you debut, not everyone who sees your performance will have the time to explore the reasons behind every single thing you do poorly."
"Jiang Tong." Finally, she specifically mentioned Jiang Tong's name and looked at him, "Take good care of your injuries. I'm looking forward to your next performance."

[Li Tao] Are the injuries to contestants on the recent popular talent show a scripted event?

First of all, I was quite moved when I watched it, but the stage was indeed too well connected with the plot, and even the songs were very suitable. I couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories. Of course, he didn't get hurt on purpose, but did he change the song after getting hurt?
2L
Whatever exists, it exists. As long as it’s exciting, that’s all that matters. There are a few variety shows that have no scripts at all.
3L
Anyway, I enjoyed it.
4L
Stop picking, stop picking, I'm so sorry that our little talent show seems to have caught on with you guys, how many posts have been posted? The stage was obviously changed at the last minute because of a member's injury, [Yuanxiao] said in the review that the singing and acting were not well integrated with the singing and dancing, it was a bit fragmented, although it was a special situation but we can't let the audience accommodate you.
5L
[Yuanxiao] She is really strict. I still have to say that she is like two different people when it comes to whether she will be on the judges' panel or not. I was quite touched to see her hanging out with the trainees on the show, but she started to find fault with everything during the stage...
6L
Have something good to eat upstairs. I beg you to stop spoiling them. When will you realize that trainees have a lot of problems at this stage? How can there be any progress without criticism?
7L
Support, why don't you roll it up when you earn so much?
8L
Although, I might still owe the company money during my trainee period...
9L
The editing of other groups in this public performance is almost consistent with the songs. This public performance is originally all adaptations of popular OSTs. It can be seen that the editing idea of the plot line of this episode of "I Have Not" is entirely based on the selection of songs. At most, [Yuanxiao] himself might not have expected that JZY and JT would give him such a big job.
10L
I still want to say that no matter what, the post-production of Yuanxin is really amazing --! ! ! Who can understand that I had goosebumps all over my body when the stage changed, it was really shocking.
11L
Isn't the script the most important issue? Someone said JT is really awesome. His strength is not in the first echelon, but he is given so many scenes and story lines...
12L
If you want to worry about the many shots, you will also be worried about getting hurt.
13L
It's just wonderful. Why don't the production team use wonderful shots? As viewers, don't we deserve something good?
14L
u1s1 "I Have Not Been" is really the fairest program crew I have ever seen... It can be seen that because they like to create team spirit, they can always see their own shortcomings in other people's corners in the previous episodes. This time, the shots of Pei Jinjiang and the other two outside the plot line are extremely clean, there is none at all.
15L
It's so funny that the OP might as well go and scold that damned program crew of "I'm Not Here". Do you know who to broadcast to make you popular?

*Quoted from the song "Excuse Me" (I love the youthfulness and idealism of this song so much and it's very appropriate. Let's just assume that this drama is a household name in both worlds.)
