Chapter 22 Shocked!
"Starlit Night!"
The same exclamation that Lu Zimo had made before happened to other trainees this time.
They all turned their heads and looked at Xia Linxing who had just returned to sit in the corner, and began to whisper to each other.
"Why would the production team arrange for two identical songs to be performed one after the other?"
"Oh my god, wasn't that last performance terrible?"
"Emmmm, two identical songs, one after the other, both performed by amateur trainees... It's hard to say this wasn't intentional..."
"Is it to set up a control group?"
"Oh no, who is the cannon fodder then?"
Some people even started to complain: "The production team is just trying to create topics for the first stage...then there will be no need to worry about the camera..."
After all, many trainees know that in talent shows, personal professional ability is actually secondary, and what the program team values most is actually the topic value.
What’s more terrifying than being criticized for a bad performance is performing perfectly but no one cares.
The trainees were talking among themselves, and the mentors sitting in the mentor seats also looked at each other.
Generally speaking, if different trainees choose the same program, especially individual trainees who are not part of a group, the program team will let these trainees work together to merge into one program, and then the mentors will rate the two separately based on their performance in the program.
Generally speaking, only when two trainees who are both participating in the first stage as a group sign up for the same song, will the program team let the two groups compete against each other one after the other.
If this is done, those with good performance will advance successfully, while those with poor performance will become cannon fodder.
However, if the latter group gets a counterattack script, that would be a different matter.
Therefore, the mentors who had received the program list before originally thought that the program team would eventually merge these two individual trainees into one program, but they did not expect that the program team would still let the two perform separately.
The other four mentors couldn't help but look at each other.
Among these two individual trainees, who is the cannon fodder chosen by the program team?
Normally, if there is such a "unique" design, the production team will usually hint at it in advance. But the problem now is that the production team didn't tell them in advance!
Is this them? Is this a tacit understanding between them and the production team?
Or does the production team just want to make a big splash and let them open blind boxes based solely on the two people's stage performances?
Just when the mentors were doubting their lives and the program process, Shen Sibai came on stage.
The strange thing is that Shen Sibai was wearing a headset.
Wearing a headset is not surprising, as many of the trainees who had worn headsets before were wearing them. But the problem is that the trainees who had worn headsets before were all singing and dancing.
Before Chen Sibai went on stage, the staff removed the electronic keyboard that Xia Linxing had just played from the stage. This is understandable, after all, not every trainee will sing and play the keyboard when singing lyrical songs.
But unfortunately, he didn't even take the handheld microphone.
"hiss……"
The trainees below began to whisper again: "Do you feel... something is strange?"
"It seems to be a little bit..." But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Oh, I get it!" A trainee slapped his thigh, "His outfit is wrong!"
Xia Linxing's white blazer was a perfect match for a ballad. But Shen Sibai's black patent leather jacket, adorned with silver chains, and his dark blue V-neck silk shirt... didn't seem to go with a ballad at all, did they?
"Wait!" The trainee who slapped his thigh suddenly seemed to remember something and raised his head abruptly: "We seem to have made a mistake—"
Before he could finish his words, the lights on the stage suddenly went out.
——Chen Sibai’s performance has begun.
Intense drum beats sounded, and music with electric vibrations began to play.
This prelude was completely different from the one Xia Linxing had performed before, and it shocked everyone.
At this moment, all the other trainees, mentors, and the other party involved, Xia Linxing, were stunned.
"Oh, I told you we were all wrong!"
The trainee's voice slowly rang out during the interlude: "The song called 'Starlit Night' isn't the only one Xia Linxing plays!"
