Soon it was the turn of the STAR group. The four of them went backstage to wait. As the groups came out one by one, Tian Sisi grabbed Yao Xuetong's hand and said, "Captain, what should we do? I'm nervous!"
Yao Xuetong was actually a little nervous herself, but she still held Tian Sisi's hand tightly and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, just treat it as a normal practice."
Even Lina, who was always fearless, looked a little unnatural. She glanced at Xia Shiyu and asked hesitantly, "You...you're not nervous?"
Xia Shiyu didn't know that there were cameras backstage, so he answered naturally, "Actually, just treat the audience in the audience as dishes."
"Dish?" Tian Sisi asked in a low voice, "Is it pumpkin or cabbage?"
"Of course not." Xia Shiyu replied seriously, "How can you be appetizing with pumpkin and cabbage?"
"Appetite?"
Xia Shiyu counted on her fingers: "Sour and spicy pork intestines, braised pig's trotters, sweet and sour spareribs, preserved vegetables with pork, salt-baked chicken..."
At the end, she almost couldn't help "slurping" her saliva, and then she taught: "Only in this way, your eyes will be full of affection when you look at the audience..."
The three of them: "..."
When they got on the stage, the three of them looked at the audience below, and plates of dishes suddenly appeared in their minds.
They were all people who had been losing weight, and they didn't know how long they hadn't smelled meat. Thinking of this at this time, they were miraculously not nervous.
They had practiced this dance many times and were already very familiar with it. In addition, they were not nervous, so they performed even better than in the practice room.
Dance instructor Anna was very satisfied: "You are the best group I have ever seen. Not only do you dance neatly, but more importantly, your expressions are very good."
Except for Xia Shiyu, all four of them showed a hint of embarrassment.
Anna asked them to introduce themselves.
When it was Lina's turn, she looked at Tang Ruoyi with a touch of admiration in her eyes: "I like Teacher Tang's songs very much. I never thought that one day I would really be able to meet Teacher Tang and perform in front of him. I feel so happy..."
Tang Ruoyi was looking down at the information. When he heard her say this, he raised his head and smiled softly: "Thank you for your love."
However, she did not ask any more questions, nor did she let Lina show her personal talents.
Lina lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Qiu Jie glanced at Tang Ruoyi. Now Huayu and Chenxing have already torn their faces apart. As a Huayu employee, Tang Ruoyi still holds shares of Huayu. Naturally, her relationship with Chenxing cannot be good. Although she will not deal with these trainees, she will not specifically promote them either.
He didn't care so much. He glanced at the four people, and then turned to ask Ye Cang: "I heard that one of them is your junior sister?"
Ye Cang looked up and saw Xia Shiyu on the stage with a half-smile on her face. His expression suddenly became serious and he coughed: "Although we are under the same agent, we can't really be called junior sisters. This is my senior."
Everyone present was stunned, and then they realized that Ye Cang debuted last year, but Xia Shiyu debuted three years ago, so she is really a senior.
Qiu Jie: "..."
Tang Ruoyi couldn't help laughing, and the originally cold atmosphere dissipated and became relaxed.
Captain Yao Xuetong performed a rap show, Lina and Tian Sisi also performed their own solo programs, and finally Xia Shiyu was left.
Qiu Jie asked: "I heard that Xiao Xia was a singer before, has there been any new original songs recently?"
Xia Shiyu blinked: "No recently, are old songs okay?"
Qiu Jie was stunned for a moment: "Old songs are also OK."
However, when the director started playing the songs, they realized how old the so-called old songs were.
Qiu Jie looked at Tang Ruoyi blankly: "Sister Ruoyi, this sounds like a song from the last century, right?"
Tang Ruoyi nodded: "It's Tang Wanjun's "Attachment", it is indeed a very old song."
Qiu Jie wanted to complain, but Xia Shiyu had already started singing, and he was stunned.
"Attachment" is not a song that requires very complicated singing techniques. It can be said that it was popular in the streets and alleys in the last century because it is simple and easy to learn. However, a simple song does not mean it is easy to sing. In fact, it is the most difficult to sing such a simple song with flavor.
Just like the dish that tests the chef's skills the most is often the simplest home-cooked dish.
"Attachment" is a slightly sad love song. Tang Wanjun once sang this song in a thousand twists and turns, stirring the hearts of generations. Now when it is sung by Xia Shiyu, her voice is like a ribbon that takes people directly to the last century.
Qiu Jie rubbed his arms, and a layer of goose bumps had appeared on them without knowing when.
When Xia Shiyu finished singing, Qiu Jie and Tang Ruoyi didn't know how to start. They were professionals, so they knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to sing this song well.
In the past, they would give technical advice to the previous contestants, but Xia Shiyu's song had nothing to do with skills. The rich emotions in the song were enough to bring all the audience into it.
Because skills can be learned, but how to sing a song to touch people's hearts is the most important thing.
In that era when superstars emerged, Tang Wanjun's voice was not the best, and her appearance was not the most beautiful, but every love song she sang was very touching and touched people's hearts. This is the reason why she can last forever.
And now, when Xia Shiyu sings, people can vaguely see some shadows of Tang Wanjun.
Several judges looked at each other, and finally Tang Ruoyi spoke: "Your singing makes people understand what a professional singer is. If you are in the team, you will be like a stabilizing force."
Qiu Jie also nodded: "You made me feel the charm of old songs again. I think, with such a level, no one should object to entering the upper circle, right?"
The upper circle is the ten chairs, and now there are exactly two chairs left.
After Yao Xuetong and Xia Shiyu sat down, the ten chairs were already full, but at this time, about one-third of the people have not yet gone on stage. Among them, there are newcomers who were famous before entering the show, and there are also trainees from big companies.
Just when everyone was whispering, Qiu Jie smiled and announced a new rule.
"All the contestants who come out next, if we unanimously agree that they are in the upper circle, they can challenge any contestant in the upper circle. If they win, they can replace her and take that position. Strength is the only way to keep your position!"
As soon as he said this, the discussion at the scene became louder.
"This is too exciting!"
"A real-life battle!"
"Does that mean that even if you are in the upper circle now, you are not safe?"
The faces of several contestants in the upper circle showed surprise and panic. They thought that they could sit in the upper circle and rest assured. Who would have thought that the program group would have such an arrangement? !
However, Xia Shiyu looked very calm, as if he had guessed it long ago.
At this time, the group from Yingyuan Company came on stage, and Wang Can, who had argued with Xia Shiyu in the lobby before, was one of them. Although Wang Can's words were unpleasant, she was still very talented. Her dance directly conquered Anna and was also selected into the upper circle.
Qiu Jie patted the table and showed a long-awaited expression: "Here I come!!"
Tang Ruoyi looked at her with a smile: "Which contestant do you want to challenge?"
Wang Can's eyes swept over several people and showed a determined smile: "Then I will challenge Xia Shiyu."
The camera turned to Xia Shiyu's face as she spoke, and Anna asked Xia Shiyu: "So, Shiyu, are you willing to accept Wang Can's challenge?"
Xia Shiyu looked down at Wang Can and saw the provocation in her eyes. She showed a professional smile: "I accept."
The challenge was divided into three rounds. The first round was singing, the second round was dancing, and the third round was to choose a talent by yourself.
Wang Can lost the first round without a doubt. In the second round, Wang Can danced a passionate dance and received unanimous praise from the judges.
When it was Xia Shiyu's turn, she held the microphone, thought for a moment, and then said, "Please play "Can I stay tonight" for me."
Qiu Jie looked at Tang Ruoyi with a confused face again, but this time even Tang Ruoyi frowned and thought for a long time. Ye Cang was stunned for a moment, then covered his forehead, not to mention the girls on the scene. In the end, it was Anna who cleared their confusion.
"This is a very famous disco dance music in the last century."
Qiu Jie: "Didi... Disco?"
Isn't Xia Shiyu's taste too old-fashioned? !
At this time, the director had already played the song, and suddenly, the familiar melody occupied the entire studio. This is the kind of song that you can't remember its name, but you can definitely recognize it when it sounds.
Although it was a dance music from the last century, and the movements were not so fashionable today, Xia Shiyu danced very seriously. This seriousness, coupled with such retro movements, was very funny. After all, in people's cognition, old-age disco has become a stereotype, and with a young girl like Xia Shiyu, it was so funny.
Not to mention the contestants on the scene, even the judges laughed so hard that tears almost fell out. Qiu Jie slapped the table and laughed so hard that he almost fell under it.
After Xia Shiyu finally finished dancing, the scene was already a mess.
Anna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and commented, trying not to laugh: "Although...although it's very funny, your strength and movements are very standard. If we only talk about dancing, you and Wang Can are on par. However, seeing that you are so creative, hahahaha, I decided to vote for you...hahahaha..."
Xia Shiyu wanted to explain that this was not creativity, but that she really only knew disco. As people of this era, they probably didn't know how popular disco was in the last century. It was a household name in the national dance.
But she wisely gave up explaining and smiled: "Thank you!"
Tang Ruoyi laughed so hard that she choked on her breath. After coughing for a while, she said: "You have won two games and can return to the top circle."
Xia Shiyu bowed to the judges seriously, then turned around and hugged Wang Can. Wang Can forced a smile: "Congratulations." "Thank you.
" There was nothing wrong with Xia Shiyu's smile, "After all, I am your senior."
Wang Can: "..."
