Chapter 57 Singing Stage
Gu Yanqiu's participation in "Almighty Showdown" was officially announced online. She was there to support last-place Pei Xing, and the event was live-streamed with live voting.
As soon as the news came out, many fans who followed 109 back then were shocked.
"I've never seen anything like this before."
"Shit... is this true?"
“A stage I never imagined.”
"That was the group I was most looking forward to back then. But it's been three years!"
Someone forwarded this news to Ge Yuling, a fan of the couple: "Is this the combination you've always liked?"
Ge Yuling is a junior in college and is preparing for exams and internships. She hasn't paid much attention to the entertainment industry for a long time. But when she saw this group, she was also surprised.
When I was chasing the 109 trainees, it seemed like a very distant thing.
Back then, Pei Xing always came in second, and Gu Yanqiu was first. She'd hoped they could perform together on stage, a powerful alliance.
But the production team wouldn't allow it, so they could only support the group members below them. This regret has always remained in everyone's hearts. At that time, she was so angry that she created the Yanxing group and wrote fan fiction online.
This wicked CP initially attracted some fans. They serialized it online, picked up bits and pieces on TV shows, and then pieced it together into a video.
Later, on the night of the group formation, everyone thought that the era of limited groups would come, and Pei Xing and Gu Yanqiu would be in the same team, which should make it easier to show their affection. However, the limited group only held two parties, and the members were not all present.
Times have changed, and she has long since quit.
Then I heard that the two of them had teamed up. "Huh? It's just a trick to attract me." It's nothing big.
But she still noted the broadcast time and hurried to the library to study.
On the day of the performance, she gave up her final exam review and convinced herself that the show, which lasted one hour and forty minutes, could be considered a rare chance to relax.
She opened the smurf account she'd created back when she was a fan. As soon as she opened it, her phone started vibrating non-stop. All the messages popped up one after another.
"Did you know that Pei Xing and Gu Yanqiu are collaborating?"
"Ahhhhhhh. The two kings who never met before are finally going to unite."
“You have to see this stage.”
"I checked and saw that Pei Xing had the lowest points. Sure enough, once the blue bar was gone, he started calling people to use his ultimate skills."
"I watched this show, it's not good. It's just a blatant scam to exploit fans. Live voting, live PKs and all that. The group Poxiao are internet celebrities, live streaming every day, and the live streaming room always has over 100,000 people online. How can others win?"
After Ge Yuling came online, many people shared the news.
But Ge Yuling didn't reply to anyone.
This feeling is very strange, just like the school hunk you once liked, seeing him again after a few years and he is still handsome, but you are no longer at the age where you would scream at the sight of a handsome guy.
She just paid attention to the combination of the two kings of the 109th draft, without any excitement like before.
That's what she thought in her heart.
But my body honestly opened the IPAD and watched the live broadcast.
In the first few shows, the fans were almost all fans of the artists. The screams were piercing, and they even made loud noises while the artists were singing.
The audience sitting in front of the live broadcast all frowned. What a chaotic scene!
It was obvious that the performance was all open-mic, with one of the girl groups performing the traditional Chinese dance Green Snake, while the other girl group performed KPOP dance.
But there are too many excellent contestants of the same type, whether it is Korean entertainment or domestic entertainment, there are better ones in both types of singing and dancing stages.
Not to mention the Green Snake, which is a popular adaptation based on the traditional classical White Snake. Their dancing is not very good.
If it is broadcast on TV, the intensity of the dancing will be reduced, because the audience will have a lot of questions on their faces when watching it anyway, right?
In the end, Green Snake won the show with a huge score. After watching it, everyone was like: That’s it?
The winner doesn’t know what he won with?
I don’t know why I lost so badly?
There is actually such a program, it is really taking advantage of its ignorance.
Hot comments in the barrage: "It's not even as good as our company's annual meeting."
"Oh my god... can you debut like this? I can do it too."
“No wonder the circle is getting more and more boring.”
"I want to see a powerful performance to refresh my eyes."
I watched a few more groups later.
Ge Yuling felt a hundred minutes was too long. Between the canvassing sessions, the host's interludes, and even the artist performance clips, Ge Yuling had already started playing mobile games. She was growing increasingly impatient. She even wanted to quit several times.
It's finals week. Every minute counts.
She must be mentally retarded to watch such a low-brow variety show. A show of this caliber should just stay that way.
Sure enough, in the group, everyone was discussing it enthusiastically at the beginning, but then someone said, "It's so ugly." The group suddenly fell silent.
Ge Yuling was irritated. She had already retired from the entertainment industry. She used to be addicted to the show with a filter, but now that it was gone, would their performances still be as captivating? She didn't know.
Finally, the short clip of Gu Yanqiu and Pei Xing’s performance was played.
It was rare for her to put down the game on her phone.
In the photo, Gu Yanqiu and Pei Xing almost had a quarrel because of their dance moves.
Then they started rehearsing, and their professional skills were beyond reproach. Even the dance teacher praised them: "You can dance it in half an hour."
Suddenly, Ge Yuling's pupils constricted. The white T-shirts they were wearing were... the same ones they wore when they were trainees in 109. Oh, she's playing up her nostalgia again. But the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up, and her eyes grew more focused.
Later, there was a short clip of Gu Yanqiu dancing and Pei Xing eating skewers in the practice room: "Big star, that's enough. You've been starving for eighteen hours without eating. You don't have to work so hard."
Gu Yanqiu turned around and saw sweat on his face, his white T-shirt tightly wrapped around his body. He was indeed the recognized handsome guy in the 109 class. The shock of the camera suddenly hitting his face was so great that even she, a retired fan, could not help but swallow her saliva: "So handsome."
Then he sat on the floor of the practice room and looked at Pei Xing, "We will definitely win." His eyes were blazing.
Then the short film ends.
The stage was completely dark. Accompanied by the beats of tango drums, Gu Yanqiu walked out wearing a black tuxedo.
Along with the sound of glass breaking, there was also the sound of an iron door closing.
Four dancers appeared behind Gu Yanqiu and he started dancing immediately.
"Fog, this is the smell."
Gu Yanqiu is worthy of being the leading dancer back then. He was born as an idol, and every expression he put on in front of the camera was just right. His dancing strength was almost as strong as a professional.
Put together, the word "comfortable" comes through in the lens.
For the first seventy minutes, the whole show was a mess, and it seemed like a makeshift troupe.
But when Gu Yanqiu appeared, the entire stage suddenly became very expensive.
His every gesture and even his eyes showed control of the stage, as if the person standing in front of him was not an idol, but a top star.
Pei Xing's voice then sang: "They said I was terminally ill..." A beautiful musical aria.
He was worthy of being the great vocalist of that year.
It was not until now that everyone realized that they had chosen an excerpt from the musical "Madhouse".
It was a simple stage, but when the two of them stood together, they looked like stars.
Pei Xing is at the bottom of this show, and it's almost forgotten that he was once a huge difference from the others among the 109 trainees. His voice is high and gorgeous.
But what surprised old fans was that Gu Yanqiu's singing became even better. They were like twins, representing different characters.
The song was melodious and soon the two began to dance.
Gu Yanqiu represents the elite in suits and ties. He looks so handsome in a suit that makes people scream.
She deliberately sought to make her movements graceful and even managed her facial expressions in between dances.
Pei Xing's singing voice changed: "Welcome to the madhouse." He had the aura of a crazy and weird artist.
When the two men fought, they appeared to be successful people on the surface, but in reality, they were all patients in a mental hospital.
Then there was a whole group dance. If Gu Yanqiu's singing was surprising, then Pei Xing's dancing had also made great progress.
Originally, they were the champions and runners-up on the stage, and they made up for each other's shortcomings, just like hexagonal warriors.
After more than three years, this is the answer they have given.
In the end, the two of them changed their clothes in one second, and the decent suits in the defense tower area turned into hospital gowns from a mental hospital.
Pei Xing laughed exaggeratedly, and blood appeared on the corners of his mouth at some point.
It turns out that everyone is crazy, just pretending to be normal.
…
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was actually a singing and performing stage?
