Cheng Zhi was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb and he wished he could find a hole to bury himself.
He quickly took the photo Song Baiyi handed to him, stuffed it back into his sleeve, and explained weakly: "Actually, this photo is of Chen You..."
Song Baiyi hummed and said softly, "And then it fell out of your clothes?"
Cheng Zhi laughed and said, "I thought it was pretty so I looked at it a few more times..."
"And then you stuffed it into your sleeve?"
It's over. The more you explain, the worse it gets.
He couldn't tell Song Baiyi that he stuffed the photo into his sleeve in a hurry because he didn't want Chen You to find out that he was too engrossed in reading his magazine.
Cheng Zhi looked embarrassed and started to make up a story, "Teacher Song, just think of your photo as a lucky charm..."
After getting a fairly reasonable answer, Song Baiyi saw Cheng Zhi's somewhat embarrassed expression and stopped asking further.
Song Baiyi chuckled softly, "Then I wish you good luck."
Cheng Zhi looked at the slightly upturned corners of the man's mouth in front of him, coupled with Song Baiyi's somewhat helpless yet gentle tone.
He felt that his mind was a little unclear now.
When Zhao Yue ran back with the plastic board of another song, Cheng Zhicai returned to his original position in a daze.
…
As another member of Class A who also took "Evolve", Huo Shuhang naturally became Cheng Zhi's biggest opponent this time.
At this time, Cheng Zhi had just put down the plastic plate in his hand when he received a friendly greeting from the opposite side.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to be your rival and perform the same song with you."
Cheng Zhi hadn't recovered from the embarrassment just now. He responded with a hum, "I'm happy too. Let's cheer for him together."
After everyone had greeted their opponents, Song Baiyi announced the next part.
"Well, I believe everyone should have some understanding of the songs they have chosen. I am looking forward to seeing your performance on stage. Next, please ask the students in Class A to select members in order."
Cheng Zhi listened to the rules Song Baiyi explained and subconsciously looked at the number of people required on the plastic board.
"Evolve" was originally SYI's song and was danced by seven people, but in order to comply with the requirements of the program team, the number was reduced to five.
Cheng Zhi looked at the number "5" on the sign and fell into deep thought.
It seems that there is no one else I want to choose except Chen You, but there are only two of them, and now there are still three missing...
Before he had time to think about who to choose, Cheng Zhi's thoughts were interrupted by Song Baiyi's birth.
"Cheng Zhi, according to the order, you pick first."
Cheng Zhi raised his head and glanced at the other members of the BCDF class standing in front of him, and immediately saw Shen You standing in the middle.
Cheng Zhi said, "The first one is Shen You."
After hearing this, Chen You happily ran to Cheng Zhi.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhi's expression was not so happy.
I have been busy training during this period, and there are not many familiar faces at a glance.
Cheng Zhi closed his eyes, too lazy to think about it, and decided to pick a few that he liked.
Then he saw the familiar person standing in the corner of Class C, "The second one is Jiang Shi."
Cheng Zhi also selected Le Zhu from Class B and Lu Yinbai from Class C, and then the "evlove" team was officially assembled.
While the others were still selecting their members one by one, Cheng Zhi paid special attention to the people selected by his opponent Huo Shuhang, and immediately saw a familiar and annoying face.
Before Cheng Zhi could complain in his heart, he heard Shen You approach him and whispered, "Why did the other side pick Fang Qiao? Why is Huo Shuhang so discerning?"
Cheng Zhi commented pertinently: "Well, I agree with you."
Chen You sighed, "What bad luck, how come I meet Fang Qiao again? I hope he can cause less trouble this time."
After everyone had decided on their teams, Song Baiyi took all the trainees to the training hall.
There are ten songs in total, and the twenty corresponding teams were assigned to corresponding positions.
Song Baiyi flipped through the position table and said, "The next thing you need to do is to discuss everyone's part in the song and dance in the team. Let's start now."
“I wish everyone can get the position they want.”
After saying that, Song Baiyi put down the microphone and left the practice room.
Only the contestants, photographers and a few people from the director team were left in the hall.
Cheng Zhi organized everyone to sit in a circle, "Well, have you all seen the dance of "evlove"? "
Except for Jiang Shi, who remained silent, everyone else answered in unison that they had seen it.
Le Zhu continued, "'Evlove' is my favorite song. I got into it after watching the MV and the dance. Thank you, Cheng Zhi, for giving me the opportunity to perform this song."
Cheng Zhi smiled and was about to say you’re welcome when he was interrupted by Chen You, “Hey, are you a fan of SYI too?”
Le Zhu nodded excitedly, "Yes, I have liked them for a long time, you too?"
Before Shen You could answer, Lu Yinbai said, “Ah, I’m also their fan, what a coincidence.”
When people with similar interests meet, Chen You, Le Zhu and Lu Yinbai are all very excited.
Soon they were chatting animatedly, forgetting that they were still filming the show. They were just about to become sworn brothers on the spot when Cheng Zhi coughed twice and brought back Chen You's soul that had drifted seven hundred miles away.
"Let's take a look at the performance version in the practice room first to determine each person's part."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi took the tablet given by the program team, placed it in front of everyone, and opened the practice room dance version of "evlove".
After hearing this, Chen You and the other three stopped chatting and sat down obediently, ready to listen to Cheng Zhi's instructions.
Cheng Zhi didn't know much about SYI. The only song he had heard was "Never" on the performance stage at that time. The main reason he chose this song was that he felt that he should be in line with the temperament of this boy band's songs.
At least he felt pretty good when he danced in Song Baiyi's position last time.
At the beginning of the video, the seven members of SYI stood in their positions, waiting for the music to start.
Cheng Zhi glanced up and down the practice room and couldn't help but speak.
“This practice room looks so expensive…”
It is spacious and bright, and the materials of both the floor and the walls look much more expensive than those in "Never".
Le Zhu asked doubtfully, "Is this your first time watching this?"
Cheng Zhi nodded, "Well, this is the first time. I have only seen SYI's song "Never" in the practice room."
Le Zhu explained: "When they first debuted, the company didn't have much money, so the facilities were not very good. This song was released when they became very popular, and the company had more money, so they renovated the practice room for them."
Not much money...
In his mind, Cheng Zhi imagined the impoverished Teacher Song and his teammates practicing dance moves over and over again in the old and run-down practice room.
He suddenly felt miserable and funny.
At this moment in the conference room, Song Baiyi, who was a wealthy man, sneezed suddenly.
Tina asked with concern: "What's wrong, Mr. Song? Is the air conditioner too low? I'll turn it up."
Song Baiyi shook his head and drank a sip of hot water to suppress the uncomfortable feeling, "I'm fine."
…
The video continues to play, and what comes into view is the seven members wearing uniform black and white clothes. The details of each person's clothes are different, but the color tone is unified.
Song Baiyi stood in the middle, wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants. It was the simplest outfit, but combined with his overall temperament and appearance, he was the most eye-catching one.
The music started, with Song Baiyi opening the show. The other six team members jumped from his side to their own positions. The dance was very vigorous. The first two movements were fixed again and again. Everyone's arms drew beautiful arcs in the air, which immediately attracted Cheng Zhi's attention.
All the movements were done in one go and everyone cooperated very well. As the center, Song Baiyi really managed to focus everyone's attention on him. The video was very clear and Cheng Zhi could clearly see the veins on his arms that were faintly visible as he moved, as well as the corners of his clothes that flew up because of the large amplitude of the movement.
Song Baiyi looked at the camera with his facial expressions well managed, but because his dance moves were so smooth and beautiful, everyone's attention was diverted from his delicate and handsome face and attracted by his movements.
In the video, the whole song's movements are very coordinated, but everyone's movements are in unison, and no one is lagging behind. You can tell that they spent a long time in the practice room to hone their coordination.
The video ended, Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes, and double-clicked the screen to pause the second playback of the video.
He objectively commented: "This song is a bit difficult, and it requires a lot of physical strength to sing and dance together, but it is very entertaining."
Chen You nodded, "Then let's decide who will take the center position first. Is there anyone who wants to take the initiative to try it?"
Cheng Zhi looked at the others and was just about to raise his hand to sign up when Le Zhu got there first.
"I really like this song, and I am confident that I can dance the center position well, so I want to give it a try."
Cheng Zhi saw the light flashing in Le Zhu's eyes, curled his fingers, and silently withdrew his hand that was about to be raised.
"Huh? Le Zhu is the only one who wants to be the boss? Don't other people have any ideas?" Chen You fixed his gaze on Cheng Zhi, a little confused.
Jiang Shi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "I think Cheng Zhi is more suitable to be the center."
Lu Yinbai analyzed, "That's what I thought... The vote this time is decided by the total number of groups, right? Our opponents are Huo Shuhang's group. I saw Huo Shuhang ranked first in the votes yesterday. His popularity alone is much higher than ours, so it's a bit difficult for us to win."
He paused and continued, "So it's very important for us to choose the right center. Cheng Zhi was the center in the theme song, right? Plus, I saw him dancing to "Never" on the stage before, it was very eye-catching, so I think it's best to let him be the center."
After saying that, Lu Yinbai looked at Le Zhu who had just raised his hand to sign up, and waited for his response.
After being analyzed like this, Le Zhu's face turned pale. He was at a loss and said, "Then... why don't we let Cheng Zhi be the center?"
Cheng Zhi didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and saw the corner of Le Zhu's clothes that had been wrinkled by him because of his helplessness.
Everyone else looked at Cheng Zhi, waiting for his thoughts.
After a while, Cheng Zhi said calmly: "I have already been the center position once in the theme song, this time, Le Zhu, you will be the center position."
Le Zhu uttered an "eh" and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He obviously didn't expect Cheng Zhi to give the C position to him.
"Why…"
Cheng Zhi looked up at Le Zhu and smiled, "I believe you can do it well."
