Single stage
[So boring~]
[Is there any fresh melon? Let me have a bite.]
The afternoon session of the initial evaluation of "Super Idol" seemed mediocre compared to the ups and downs of the morning session.
Most of the trainees who appeared were mediocre, without many highlights or explosive points.
Yi Jingchen's appetite was whetted by the shocking melons, such as "falsely reporting height", "plastic surgery", "false advertising" and so on, and he was too lazy to even take an extra bite.
Besides, if he really took it seriously, he wouldn’t even have to wait until the first ranking was announced, and more than half of the 107 trainees would have been eliminated in minutes.
The recording lasted for four hours in the afternoon, and the big gift bag that Mu Gan brought had already been almost divided up by the trainees sitting near Class A.
Just when everyone was full and satisfied, they were feeling bored.
Four bold, capitalized characters suddenly appeared on the central main screen:
'Single-person stage'
Finally the solo stage!
After seeing this preview, all the trainees jumped up immediately!
Trainees who are able to perform on their own stages in talent shows are either the princes promoted by large companies, or popular contestants who already have their own fans before the competition.
[Since they are princes of a big company, they must have a lot of melons to eat! ]
Yi Jingchen: [suddenly excited.jpg]
The princes preparing to go on stage: ...
Why don't I just skip the process and withdraw from the competition?
Perhaps due to the pressure from the 'Melon King', the prince dared not to do anything weird.
The three 'princes' of big companies who appeared one after another performed very vulgarly.
In terms of brilliance and stage performance, it is far inferior to the rose rain scattered by Yi Jingchen.
Even if the program team gave them enough opportunities, they would cue extra tests after their performances, and continue to cue their "tragic" life stories after the extra tests.
The princes still show the characteristics of a useless person, and are useless.
It wasn't until the fourth trainee came on stage that the audience's reaction became enthusiastic.
But it’s not because of the stage, but because of the contestant’s profession.
[WOC, Rao Han is here too?! Why are you here on "Super Idol" instead of playing games? ? ? ]
[This world is too confusing. Do professional e-sports players also need to venture into domestic entertainment? 】
[Back to the above, Rao Han did a live broadcast last month, saying that during the season, playing games every night was too tiring, and he felt sick when he saw the computer. He finally waited for the off-season, and the team arranged for him to play dozens of friendly matches, so he wanted to find a place without computers and mobile phones]
[Then…some unscrupulous netizens recommended a talent show to him, saying that all electronic devices would be confiscated here]
[Rao Han, that silly boy, came here happily carrying a computer]
Yi Jingchen suddenly realized what Rao Han had said.
[It turns out that the desktop computer seized by the burly man belonged to Rao Han.]
[Would he be willing to lend it to me to play with for a while...]
"Hello, teachers, hello, brothers. My name is Rao Han, and I'm a gamer."
Rao Han grinned with two rows of white teeth and said cheerfully, "As long as I don't play games, I can do anything!"
[Ah? What a pity.]
Yi Jingchen sighed.
Everyone was on edge, thinking the house was going to collapse again.
I only heard him say with regret:
[I still want you to take me to the gold level.]
“…” Rao Han had been a professional player for so many years, but he had never heard of such a low requirement.
[Can you at least get to Diamond? Otherwise, I will be the number one in the country, how embarrassing it will be?]
Gu Sijun coughed dryly and tried to control the situation, "Student Rao Han, please start your performance."
Rao Han came to participate in "Super Idol" purely for the purpose of "confiscation of electronic devices".
Others' draft picks are a mess, but his is just a waste of time.
She had no preparation for the first stage, and just showed off her hoarse voice briefly. As she wished, she got an F rating, and Rao Han was so happy.
[F rating means I don’t have to work hard!]
[It’s so cool! I’m the worst, whoever wants to debut can do it!]
Yi Jingchen was as happy as Teddy Bear when he saw that he got an F grade, and a devilish idea came to his mind:
[If I remember correctly, the debut position in the talent show is based on the number of audience votes.]
[Maybe, possibly, just in case...]
[If everyone votes for Rao Han to be in the top nine and debut as a group——]
Rao Han: [The smile gradually solidifies.jpg]
After listening to this, the audience said happily: Good idea!
They just like to see others being forced to work and unable to get off work!
"Host, stop thinking!" The Gua Gua system quickly stopped Yi Jingchen, "Your idea is too devilish! Rao Han will cry~"
Yi Jingchen said 'Oh' and said meaningfully, "Then I am even more looking forward to it."
Quack: ...
He was wrong.
The host is the devil himself!
There are only six solo stages in this year's "Super Idol".
After Rao Han left, another popular contestant with no memorable points came.
There is no more exciting gossip than lying about your age.
Yi Jingchen was so ambitious after hearing about this shocking melon that he didn't want to bother with such an insignificant little melon.
Wrapped in a blanket, he looked lazily towards the center of the stage, waiting for the last contestant to appear.
The trainee himself has not yet appeared, and a clip of his pre-match interview will first play on the screen, giving the audience a quick understanding of the younger brother who will appear next.
In the pre-match interview, the trainee named Li Jibai was elegant and spoke in an organized manner.
The way he talks is more like a top student from a prestigious university than the idol trainee.
The fact is just as he showed. In the pre-match interview, Li Jibai humbly but loudly revealed that he was studying science at University A, one year younger than Yi Jingchen.
After hearing this, Yi Jingchen finally reacted.
[Ah! I've heard of him!]
Everyone: Is there any melon?
[He is the most handsome boy in the science department of our school.]
Previously at the A University forum, Yi Jingchen was elected as the most handsome man in the liberal arts department, and Li Jibai was elected as the most handsome man in the science department.
Their classmates even gave them a group name without their permission: The Two Campus Princes of A University.
Most of the liberal arts and science majors at University A are not on the same campus.
Before today, Yi Jingchen had never met Li Jibai.
After the video was finished, Li Jibai walked onto the stage in the thick snow and introduced himself to the camera. His speech was just as rational and calm as he appeared in the video, with the aura of a genius.
"Hello, Li Jibai." Gu Sijun picked up the student information and asked curiously, "I want to know, with your conditions, why did you come to participate in the boy band audition?"
Everyone can understand that Yi Jingchen, who also graduated from a top 1 university, participated.
The journalism profession is somewhat related to the entertainment industry.
Participating in "Super Idol" can help him expand his network, and more importantly, he can also get an internship certificate.
However, Li Jibai does not need an internship certificate.
The finance major he studied has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.
Moreover, he is only a junior this year. If he is not eliminated after school starts, does he have to put on hold or give up his A University courses for the sake of the "Super Idol" competition schedule?
How could “Super idol” be so worthy of this honor!
"To fulfill the promise." Li Jibai answered his mentor frankly, "In addition to being a student at A University, I am also an up-loader in the ACG area of Xiaopo Station. Before, I promised everyone that if I become one of the top 100 up-loaders, I will agree to a condition for those who follow me."
Wei Mi guessed, "Then you became one of the top 100 UP hosts, and your fans asked you to participate in the talent show?"
"No, they asked me to dance a girl group dance." Li Jibai smiled faintly and explained, "I have poor coordination and no dance foundation, so I need to learn."
Yi Jingchen understood.
[So, I came to "Super Idol" to get a free dance teacher.]
[It’s not that I can’t afford a private teacher, but talent shows are more cost-effective, as expected of someone who studies finance.]
[The abacus clacking is so loud that I can hear it from the pyramids.]
Li Jibai looked calm, not at all embarrassed by being exposed.
"Okay, okay." Wei Mi asked again, "I often visit this small broken station. I know many well-known UP hosts and may have watched your videos. What is your ID?"
The ACG area belongs to the two-dimensional world, and UP hosts usually do not disclose their three-dimensional identities to avoid being recognized by people around them.
Li Jibai didn't care at all and casually spat out a string of IDs:
"Cat Believer-JB."
"..." Yi Jingchen, who was a little drowsy, woke up instantly when he heard this ID.
[Cat's Believer???]
[Is this the name of the member of the non-governmental organization called "Cat Cult" that was set up by cat fans without permission and who checks in every day to admire cats?
If I remember correctly, JB is a veteran member of the Cat Cult, and his contribution is particularly great. He is respected as the "Right Guardian" by other cat fans.]
——Help!
Yi Jingchen trembled.
Is the number of cat fans in your "Super Idol" a bit too much?
Can my little vest still cover me?
"The cat's believer, that..." Wei Mi hesitated and did not read out the terrible abbreviation at the end.
Li Jibai didn't think it was bad at all, and explained openly, "I am a cat believer, because I am a loyal follower of cosplayer cats. JB is the abbreviation of my name 'Jibai', not what the instructor thought it meant."
Wei Mi was completely embarrassed and waved his hands in fear.
"I don't have any associations!"
[I didn’t think of anything!!!]
[Little JB? The right guardian Little JB of our Maomao Cult? ]
[Woc! Little JB, you actually have a JB. I always thought you were a cute girl.]
[Who isn’t? The style of Little JB’s videos is so cute and adorable, so of course I thought it was a girl… Now that I know Little JB is a boy, I feel that calling him Little JB is a bit offensive]
[You can't call him Big JB, that would be more offensive]
[Okay, I'll use the full name. Since Li Jibai is the right guardian of the Cat Cult, why not let him sing the opening song "Breaking the Dimension"? ]
[dei! Isn’t our right protector of the Cat Cult standing high enough? Li Jibai has been a cat fanatic for as many years as he has been a UP host. He madly recommends the Cat Palace at the beginning and end of each video. He is a severe cat addict.]
[Back to the above, the program team did arrange for Li Jibai to sing "Broken Dimension", but he refused, saying that this song could only be sung by Maoshen himself, which would be the most dreamy.]
[Tears in my eyes, on the self-cultivation of the Right Protector]
The first performance brought by Li Jibai was the popular opening song of a classic old animation, and it was the original Japanese version.
His singing skills are average, but he excels in emotion and appeal, and his pronunciation is standard enough. He never forgets the lyrics or rushes to the beat throughout the whole performance.
After discussion among the three instructors, they decided to make an exception and give Li Jibai a C grade.
All the individual stage performances were completed and it was already dark outside.
The temporary stage had limited lighting conditions and was not sufficient to support nighttime filming.
In addition, the temperature at night is lower than that during the day. If the crispy trainees continue to freeze, they will really turn into popsicles.
Seeing that the recording could not continue, the on-site director decided to end the first day's recording early and let everyone go back to rest.
The staff held up a loud speaker and shouted at the top of their voice, "Trainees who have received ratings, please take your luggage and move into the dormitories corresponding to your ratings. Trainees who have not yet been rated can continue to stay in the hotel."
"Wow~ Can I move into the dormitory tonight?"
"That's great! I love living in the dormitory the most!"
Most of the trainees had smiles on their faces but were thinking “MMP” in their hearts.
Yi Jingchen gradually slowed down his pace, held his stomach and walked at the end of the crowd, shaking with laughter.
—— Dormitory?
[No, that's a self-service melon field!]
