"Excuse me, contestant Cheng Zhi, what do you think of your first stage performance?"
The video shows a handsome young man with slightly upturned eyes and a high nose bridge. He opened his trainee dark blue suit jacket with the ends of his sleeves rolled up twice, revealing his bony wrists. His skin was so white that it was a little dazzling.
He glanced at the staff member who was asking him questions off-camera and smiled at the camera.
"I think I still have a lot of shortcomings and there is a lot of room for improvement in many areas. I hope everyone can give me more time. I am confident that everyone will see my progress."
[I am dying of laughter. Can you please learn how to lip sync before lip syncing?]
[The dance didn’t hit a beat, and there’s nothing good about it except the face. We’re not here to see her choose a vase.]
[Please understand the above. Maybe the program team wants us to appreciate the complexity of the world.]
Cheng Zhi watched the behind-the-scenes interview video and the malicious comments that the program team had just released a few days ago with an expressionless face.
This is the third day since he came here.
Three days ago, when he opened his eyes, he saw the scene in the video just now.
Keywords include contestant Cheng Zhi, first stage, the classic talent show suit he was wearing, and an interview room that looked familiar yet unfamiliar.
At that time, Cheng Zhi's brain was working fast. Relying on his many years of experience as an idol, he put on the most skilled business expression, spoke the most standard routine, and fooled around with the questions one after another.
After finally leaving the interview room, the original owner's memories gradually emerged in his mind.
Here, the original owner relied on the relationship with her scumbag ex to participate in the show.
The original owner thought she could have success in both love and career, but she didn't know that she was just a pawn used by her predecessor to get close to her white moonlight Fang Qiao.
After experiencing Fang Qiao's humiliation, the scumbag's abandonment, and the numerous rumors online that he was a mistress and was slapped in the face by his ex-wife, the original owner ended his own life.
All in all, it's very pitiful.
......
Cheng Zhi had seen the original owner's first stage performance video, so he could especially understand why netizens gave him so many negative reviews.
The dance was so brutal, as if he was showing the audience and instructors his newly assembled limbs.
It wouldn't be bad enough that he danced badly, the most important thing was that he couldn't lip-sync and he even started singing during the part that his teammates were supposed to sing.
With a handsome face that looks exactly like his own and a voice that sounds exactly like his own, Cheng Zhi is so frightened that he almost vomits blood and dies.
He is the ace and face of a popular boy band, how could he be dressed like such a pathetic vase!
At least I should wear it as the protagonist who debuted in the final center position and reached the peak of his life! ! (Fall
Now Cheng Zhi continues to lie on his bed in the dormitory thinking about life.
Constantly digesting the facts in front of me.
Before he had been lying down for long, he heard a "bang" and the dormitory door was kicked open, which scared Cheng Zhi who was lying on the bed.
"Cheng Zhi! The song for our team's next stage has been confirmed. It's SYI's "Never". This dance is too difficult for you. Just give me your part when the time comes. Otherwise, you'll easily hold everyone back."
It was Bai Tong's voice.
Bai Tong had a very bad attitude towards the original owner in the early stage and did all kinds of bad things. The original owner only found out that he and Fang Qiao were in cahoots before the truth was revealed.
Cheng Zhi patted his chest to calm his frightened heart, sat up from the bed, and glanced at Bai Tong who was standing at the door.
Cheng Zhi, who had just climbed out of bed, had a white T-shirt loosely draped over his shoulders, revealing his beautiful collarbone and the graceful and smooth lines of his neck. He casually pulled his hair that had just stood up, and looked nonchalantly at Bai Tong who was standing at the door with a menacing look on his face.
Bai Tong looked at Cheng Zhi's face that was carefully crafted by Nuwa, and couldn't help feeling a little more disdain.
No matter how pretty you are, isn't it your destiny to be someone's mistress? Disgusting.
"Can you please hurry up? You are so arrogant. You made everyone wait for you."
Cheng Zhi couldn't help but feel sympathy when he thought of the original owner's experience. He glanced at the arrogant man in front of him, ignored him, and rolled off the bed.
Feeling ignored, Bai Tong was upset and blocked Cheng Zhi's door to prevent him from leaving. He reached out and grabbed half of Cheng Zhi's shoulder and yelled at him, "You can't talk back, right? Didn't your mother teach you the most basic social etiquette?"
Cheng Zhi just found his words ridiculous.
There are countless people in a talent show waiting to stab you in the back and squeeze you out. Even though there are only two people in the dormitory now, isn't Bai Tong afraid that the original owner will record it and expose him?
However, judging from Bai Tong's current attitude towards him, it is estimated that the original owner has suffered a lot from him and probably does not have the courage to expose him.
Cheng Zhi glanced at Bai Tong impatiently, grabbed the wrist of Bai Tong's hand on his shoulder, and said in a cold voice.
"My mom only told me not to bother with fools."
Cheng Zhi took Bai Tong's hand off his shoulder and twisted his wrist with a little skill. The next second, Bai Tong let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Fuck! Cheng Zhi, are you sick?!"
Cheng Zhi was too lazy to reply to him. He pushed Bai Tong away and walked out of the dormitory door sideways, leaving Bai Tong with only his back.
Bai Tong followed him with a grin on his face, feeling that Cheng Zhi in front of him seemed a little strange.
......
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Cheng Zhi pushed open the door of the practice room, looked at the five people from the same group who had already arrived, nodded to them and said sorry.
The expected greetings did not appear, and instead, there was a barrage of ridicule from fellow players.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to come. I thought you didn't want to see anyone because your first stage performance was so bad~"
Cheng Zhi responded and looked over. The person who said this was a young man with silver hair. He was standing in the middle of the practice room with his hands in his pockets, looking at him with disdain.
Cheng Zhi frowned and patiently tried to communicate with him, "Didn't you say we should divide it into parts? We don't need all seven people in one group to be present?"
Looking at the cool silver-haired boy in front of him, and thinking of Bai Tong just now, Cheng Zhi felt a headache.
He was also a rising star who debuted as the center of a talent show. He had been praised all the way and had never experienced such a thing.
What's this?
A new type of intra-team bullying?
"So a newbie like you even knows about part division?" The silver-haired boy whistled and looked at Cheng Zhi with ill intent.
Cheng Zhi felt something was wrong and looked around. The other four members were watching coldly. There was no camera in the practice room. Cheng Zhi's heart sank. "What do you mean?"
Silver Hair smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the part we gave you is a little fragmented." After that, he handed a printed copy of the lyrics and dance moves to Cheng Zhi, "We have divided it up, you can take it and digest it yourself."
Cheng Zhi took the folder from Yinfa's hand and flipped through it, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Cheng Zhi had heard of this song. The original owner's memory told him that this talent show was a replica of the previous "707" talent show, and it was also the SYI boy band. They debuted for two years and became popular all over the country. The song that surpassed their first place was always the next one, and the song they were going to sing and dance to now was the SYI boy band's debut song "Never".
The reason why Cheng Zhi had a solemn expression was not because the song was difficult, but because the part he was assigned was pitifully small.
There are only two lines of lyrics, one is lalalalalala, and the other is wuwuwuwuwu.
The movement of his dance was even more outrageous. He was just a background board the whole time. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a dancer wearing a headset.
Before he could get angry, Bai Tong came out from somewhere, came up to Yinfa and said, "I know he's not that strong, but if we divide him like this, the audience and the instructors will suspect that we are targeting him..."
The silver-haired man sneered, "Oh, what's the big deal? He's going to be eliminated soon anyway, so why does he need so many parts? Besides, even if we divide it based on ability, it's only natural that he gets the smallest part."
These words were clearly addressed to Bai Tong, but the silver-haired man's eyes kept glancing at Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi pursed his lips. He didn't want to end up being hidden by the company, so he decided to speak up to reverse the current situation.
"How about this, each of us says which part we want, and then we have ten minutes to prepare, and then we present our work for others to vote on. This will be fairer."
Bai Tong chuckled when he heard his words and looked Cheng Zhi up and down, "Where do you get the confidence to say such a thing?"
Cheng Zhi sighed, feeling that he couldn't communicate normally with this kind of person. He stared at Bai Tong with his eyes, exuding a cold aura, and said, "Everyone was assigned to the second echelon based on popularity. We are all the same. Why can you decide my part for the next stage with just one sentence?"
Bai Tong was interrupted by Cheng Zhi's sudden change in aura. A flash of haste flashed across his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who is the same as you? The difference between me getting into the second echelon based on my strength and you getting into the second echelon based on your looks is huge!"
When Cheng Zhi heard this, the cold air around him just disappeared, and the smile on his face became as warm and gentle as if it could melt the ice and snow. He raised his eyebrows and unconsciously touched the mole at the corner of his mouth with his hand.
"You said, as an idol, isn't appearance also a kind of strength?"
......
At this time, outside the practice room.
Song Baiyi had just slipped out from the conversation table to take a breath, and was passing by the practice room when he was suddenly attracted by a burst of noise.
Following the sound, Song Baiyi stopped at the door of the practice room. After listening to the trainees' conversation for a while, he immediately realized that they were discussing the parts of the song and found it very boring.
Just as I was about to walk back, I heard a clear and pleasant male voice.
Isn't face a kind of strength?
Hmm? Interesting.
Song Baiyi was intrigued by this sentence and looked inside with his arms crossed.
His eyes passed over the other six people and immediately fell on the person standing in the middle of the practice room.
He was a handsome young man in his early 20s. His skin was as white as a reflector among the crowd. He had a pair of standard peach blossom eyes. He touched the small mole next to the corner of his mouth with his slender fingers. The expression on his face was a little indifferent, but it made people want to get closer.
Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, silently agreeing with what the boy had just said. He did not stop the trainees from arguing, but just watched silently outside the door, looking forward to what would happen next.
......
The two were frightened by what Cheng Zhi said.
Bai Tong looked at Cheng Zhi's expression and felt that something seemed to have changed.
After a moment, the silver-haired man couldn't help laughing. "Okay, then I'll listen to you. To be fair, everyone should show the position they want to jump to, and then let everyone vote to decide the final result."
Cheng Zhi nodded and agreed to this result. He took the tablet provided by the program team and started watching the song MV of "Never"
Because "Never" is the debut song of the SYI boy group, it is not difficult, but for the sake of beauty, the dance moves are relatively fragmented. In order to facilitate learning, the videos are all practice room versions. The people in the videos are wearing casual clothes and masks, and their faces can't be seen at all.
Cheng Zhi had just traveled to this world and this was the first time he had come across this song. Time was running out, so he stared at the screen and studied it, not missing a single minute.
Bai Tong looked at Cheng Zhi's actions with disdain and said to Yin Fa, "Why give him this opportunity? I don't want to see the eye-catching dance of a vase."
The silver-haired man sneered, "Don't worry, he definitely doesn't have the strength to compete with us. Since he wants to snatch it, why not let him be convinced and serve as a background."
Ten minutes passed quickly, and seven people gathered together. Amidst everyone's expressions of watching the fun, Cheng Zhi picked up the tablet in his hand and pointed at the man in black standing in the C position.
"I want this."
When Bai Tong saw the person Cheng Zhi was pointing at, he suddenly lost control of his expression and started laughing at him by pulling his silver hair.
"Cheng Zhi, are you crazy? You want to take Song Baiyi's place? Don't you think you are qualified with your own strength?"
Song Baiyi, who had been secretly observing outside the door, curled his lips and looked forward to Cheng Zhi's reaction.
Cheng Zhi looked up at them, shook the tablet in his hand, and enlarged the screen with two fingers, so that the area where Song Baiyi was located filled the entire screen.
There was a hint of laughter in Cheng Zhi's tone, and the somewhat arrogant content he said was completely inconsistent with his originally gentle tone.
"I'm not crazy. He's the one I want."
