In the next few days, Cheng Zhi got Song Baiyi's part and the center position on the stage as he wished. Except for Bai Tong, the other teammates not only did not make things difficult for Cheng Zhi, but their attitude towards him became more and more normal.
Cheng Zhi smiled but said nothing, still doing what he wanted. He spent every day in the practice room, one reason was that he didn't want to communicate with Bai Tong and the others, and the other reason was that he wanted to perform better in the next stage.
The next stage was coming soon. On the afternoon of the recording day, Cheng Zhi was waiting for his makeup to be put on in the dressing room. He opened his phone and logged into his Weibo account which he hadn’t opened for a long time. He clicked on the comments and saw that they were all scolding him.
[Help, why is Cheng Zhi standing in the center? Is the production team stupid enough to hold a vase?]
[He seems to be singing my brother Song Baiyi’s part... Cheng Zhi, please let my brother go, okay?]
[Laughing, a lip-syncing artist still has the nerve to sing our Song Song's song, sisters, I'll spit first to show my respect.]
[Those in front, please remember to spit before you go...]
Cheng Zhi automatically ignored the comments criticizing him and scrolled down to see a few normal comments, which he felt were meaningless.
He turned off his cell phone and sat on the sofa, doing the small dance moves he was going to do later.
After finishing her makeup, Cheng Zhi got up, packed her things, and walked towards the bathroom.
The toilet is already remote, and at this time, everyone is putting on makeup or training backstage.
When Cheng Zhi went in, it was deserted and there were not many people inside.
After going to the toilet and washing his hands, Cheng Zhi was about to reach out to grab a tissue to dry them when he heard footsteps coming from the door.
"Cheng Zhi?"
Cheng Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the person who spoke. It was Bai Tong.
He hummed lightly and quickened his movements.
"Have you finished your makeup?" Bai Tong asked.
Cheng Zhi glanced at Bai Tong, crumpled up the wet tissue in his hand and threw it into the trash can, "What's the matter?"
"Can't you even say hello?" Bai Tong raised his eyebrows.
"No, you've just finished saying hello," Cheng Zhi shrugged and glanced at Bai Tong.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Zhi continued: "Since the fight is over, do whatever you want. I'm leaving first."
He turned around and was about to leave when Bai Tong stopped him.
"Do you know what everyone is talking about you now?"
Cheng Zhi frowned, and the memories of the original owner emerged.
At this time, the news that Bai Yueguang slandered him as a mistress had not yet been revealed, but it had already spread among the contestants.
Cheng Zhi sighed, "I don't want to know what others are saying about me."
"Huh, do you think that if these black spots are exposed, it will not affect our entire team?"
Cheng Zhi looked at Bai Tong coldly, "Some things cannot be told simply by listening."
He touched his earlobe and continued, "Let's take a step back and say that a truly capable person wouldn't be afraid of the impact that a teammate's black spots would have on him."
"You..." Bai Tong was stepped on a sore spot, gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Zhi. "That's all I want to say. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The performance will start soon, so hold on tight."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi set out to leave.
Bai Tong sneered: "Performance? I guess you don't have that chance?"
The next second, he blocked Cheng Zhi's way, and while Cheng Zhi was not standing firmly, he pushed him with all his strength.
Cheng Zhi was thrown off balance by this sudden push. The bathroom was not big, and he pushed Bai Tong into a toilet cubicle.
"What are you going to do?" Cheng Zhi stood firm against the wall, frowned at Bai Tong who was blocking the cubicle door, and had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
There was a dark flash in Bai Tong's eyes, and he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Cheng Zhi.
"Tell me, if you don't appear on the stage today, will everyone forget about you?"
Cheng Zhi's heart tightened, and his bad feeling was confirmed.
The next second, Bai Tong suddenly reached out and tried to close the door of the compartment.
I thought I would hear the sound of the door closing with a "bang", but it didn't happen. Instead, Bai Tong felt the door hit something, making a muffled sound.
Bai Tong was startled and subconsciously looked at the door, and found that Cheng Zhi had stuck his hand in the frame and the door was not closed tightly.
"You..." Bai Tong exclaimed. She didn't expect Cheng Zhi to block the door with his hands. The strength in her hands unconsciously loosened.
Soon, Cheng Zhi used his strength to push the door open, took a step closer, and stared at Bai Tong without any emotion in his eyes.
Cheng Zhi's hand was pinched by the door, and blood oozed a little from the gaps between his fingers, but he didn't seem to care much.
The originally delicate face was a little angry. Cheng Zhi's hair became messy in the quarrel just now. The eyes under the bangs were very dark, as if they could drag a person's soul into the abyss. The warm light of the toilet hit his face, but in Bai Tong's eyes, it was colder.
Cheng Zhi licked his slightly dry lips, smiled, and said nothing.
Bai Tong was a little frightened by the expression of the man in front of him.
After a while, Cheng Zhi finally spoke, "Bai Tong, I really don't know whether you are stupid or bad. Haven't you learned enough from the previous lesson?"
Cheng Zhi ignored him and pushed Bai Tong into the toilet cubicle. He quickly used a mop to lock the door and locked Bai Tong in the toilet.
Hearing the footsteps walking away, Bai Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. He snorted coldly and took off the pinhole camera on his chest.
Bai Tong took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Fang Qiao.
“The plan went as planned, and the results were better than expected…”
......
Outside the toilet, Song Baiyi, who happened to see Cheng Zhi's hand being pinched by Bai Tong, was stunned.
He took the phone away from his ear and saw that the call recording function was turned on by default.
"After our show...Teacher Song? Teacher Song, are you listening?"
Song Baiyi retracted his gaze, hummed, and put the phone back to his ear.
"I'm listening, keep talking."
He looked at his watch and walked quickly towards the meeting room.
In the conference room, Tina, the instructor in charge of dance, is making changes to the movements of the theme song.
On the table, Song Baiyi's finger rested on the recorded call.
The scene of Cheng Zhi and Bai Tong arguing in the bathroom lingered in Song Baiyi's mind. He put on headphones and clicked on the call recording.
At that time, the director was discussing the future direction of the program with Song Baiyi. Most of the noise was from the director talking, and occasionally Song Baiyi could be heard saying, "Okay, I got it." or something like that.
In addition, there was a hazy background sound, and what Song Baiyi could hear most clearly was the sentence said by Bai Tong.
"Tell me, if you don't appear on the stage today, will everyone forget about you?"
Song Baiyi subconsciously glanced at the recording time.
3 minutes and 39 seconds.
…
At this time, backstage.
The performance is about to begin, and the contestants are practicing in an intense and orderly manner.
The nature of the stage performances this time is more multi-faceted. The contestants are grouped according to their popularity, and divided into the first, second, third and fourth echelons. It has nothing to do with ability. The main purpose is to meet the needs of fans.
So people who are initially rated ABCDF will perform together.
Although his initial rating was F, Cheng Zhi still made it into the second tier thanks to his looks and black and red.
According to the original owner's memory, his performance in this exhibition match was not satisfactory, and his popularity plummeted afterwards. He was eliminated in the first round of eliminations after the theme song performance.
Cheng Zhi gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he must seize the opportunity this time and perform hard to increase his popularity.
In the order of performances from back to front, the stage for "Never" was ranked seventh, right at the back middle.
Cheng Zhi simply bandaged the wound on his hand, put on his headphones, and sang Song Baiyi's lyrics. Just as he was about to spit out some water to make sure his throat was in good condition, he looked up and saw his teammates.
Just right, no more, no less six people, and Bai Tong was among them.
Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would be released so soon.
He didn't care about that. He took a sip of water and was about to continue training when he saw the six people walking towards him.
"Cheng Zhi, since you have taken the C position, you must perform well." Bai Tong came over with a smile and patted his shoulder.
Cheng Zhi:?
Why the sudden change of attitude?
Bai Tong was possessed in the toilet?
Under Cheng Zhi's puzzled gaze, Bai Tong smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. I just think what you just said makes sense. Your performance on stage still depends on yourself. Come on, I look forward to your dance."
Cheng Zhi felt that Bai Tong definitely had bad intentions, but he still didn't say anything. He took Bai Tong's hand off his shoulder and hummed.
"Got it, you too."
The stage began, and the people in front went in and out one by one. Cheng Zhi could only occasionally hear screams from the audience and the celebrations of other contestants who had finished their performances.
Soon, the seven of them were taken to the waiting area by the staff.
After the previous group finished their performance, they danced to another boy band’s recent hit song.
Because four out of the seven of them received A ratings for their initial stage, the show was very powerful. Even until the host came on stage, the audience couldn't stop screaming.
"Friends! The group of contestants who just finished their performance must have left a deep impression on everyone, so please adjust your mood..."
“Next, let’s welcome the next group of contestants and bring you SYI’s “Never”!”
Hearing this, the screams in the audience suddenly stopped, replaced by everyone's quiet discussions.
"Is this the show where Cheng Zhi danced in the center position?"
"Ah... No way, isn't he from Class F? How dare he jump to C?"
"It's so funny. Song Baiyi is still the mentor. Let's see how he embarrasses himself in front of me..."
The lights on the stage dimmed, and Cheng Zhi walked to the center of the stage amid the mocking voices of "Go away..."
Cheng Zhi automatically ignored these voices and slowly entered the stage state.
The prelude sounded, drowning out the noise from the audience.
At this moment, the stage lights focused on Cheng Zhi.
He was wearing a white shirt with a half-length black vest on his upper body. The shirt was half-tucked into his pants and two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the beautiful collarbone and neck curve.
Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes. The light from the stage shone on his face. The shadow of his eyelashes fell down, forming a fan-shaped shadow, which made his skin look even whiter.
Cheng Zhi's movements followed the music. His body lines swayed to the beat, forming beautiful curves in the air, again and again, attracting everyone's attention.
The hem of the shirt fluttered from time to time with the dance movements, and the bending action made Cheng Zhi's waistline looming. The small mole on the waist was particularly obvious under the light, which made people feel itchy.
Cheng Zhi on the stage was extremely dazzling, yet he kept attracting everyone's attention, making it impossible for people in the audience to take their eyes off him. All eyes were focused on him, stunning everyone.
He is the focus of the stage and the well-deserved center.
When the song ended, Cheng Zhi looked at the camera with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.
The entire show was broadcast live, with the audience seats and barrages exploding at the same time.
"Oh my god, so handsome!!!"
“Is this Cheng Zhi??? I’m a total fanboy instead of a hater!!!”
"I'm straightforward and confident, hi wife!"
The entire program was broadcast live, and soon Cheng Zhifei topped the discussion list.
#ChengZhiReversal
#Chengzhibeautifulending
#Chengzhibai shirt and mole
Of course, there are also many questioning voices.
"How is that possible? Is it a script? It went wrong at the beginning but now it's performing normally? Are you willing to lose face just to gain popularity?"
…
Cheng Zhi recovered from the stage shock. There were constant screams from the audience. He raised his hand to lift his bangs, his eyes clear, waiting for the mentors' comments on him.
"Contestant Cheng Zhi, let me start with your comments. Your dance is wonderful and of a very high level. Your basic skills should be good. It's just that the hand movements in the climax part were a bit lacking. There are still areas for improvement." Teacher Tina, who was in charge of the dance, nodded with satisfaction.
Cheng Zhi nodded, "Thank you, teacher. I will continue to work hard next time." As he said that, he subconsciously hid his injured hand behind his back.
Song Baiyi, who was sitting in the tutor's seat, had a dark look in his eyes but said nothing.
"Okay, then let's let Teacher Song Baiyi comment on you first. After all, this should be his part." Tina smiled and signaled to the people around her with her eyes.
Cheng Zhi nodded, followed Tina's gaze and was stunned when he saw a familiar face sitting in the tutor's seat.
The man named Song Baiyi had delicate and good-looking features, and could be considered first-rate. However, this man looked exactly like the high-class beauty that Fang Qiao had been chasing after for ten years but still failed.
Cheng Zhi:?!
Song Baiyi took the microphone handed over by Tina and smiled at Cheng Zhi.
The camera turned to Song Baiyi, and the barrage of comments filled the screen again.
"Teacher Song is so pretty."
"Teacher Song must be very happy to see someone dancing his dance so well..."
....
Song Baiyi was about to speak when he suddenly saw Bai Tong raise his hand.
Bai Tong, who was standing behind Cheng Zhi, was ready to go, with a smile on his face.
Cheng Zhi, if you dare to let me be evaluated as inferior to you in front of Song Bai, then I will let all the audience and mentors see your true face.
"Teacher Song, I'm sorry to interrupt your speech, but I hope you can watch this video before you comment on Cheng Zhi..." After that, the big screen in front of the audience and the tutor changed from the MV to a slightly blurry video.
Cheng Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned around and looked at the big screen, and soon his premonition was confirmed.
The video was shot during the time in the toilet and was edited to start directly from the moment Cheng Zhi pushed Bai Tong in.
Obviously, if you only watch the video, you can only draw one conclusion, that is, Cheng Zhi locked his teammates in the toilet.
There was silence in the audience for a moment, and then there was a huge uproar.
"Fuck, why would he do such a thing?"
"I just became a fan a minute ago, what do you mean by the fastest car crash in history???"
"I knew it... this kind of person is disgusting. He ignores his teammates for his own sake."
Bai Tong looked at the current result with satisfaction and raised a smug smile.
"Teacher Song, I wonder what you think when you see this video?"
Song Baiyi watched the video expressionlessly, coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet, picked up the microphone and looked at Cheng Zhi.
"Contestant Cheng Zhi, is this post real?"
The whole audience was silent, and everyone's eyes were on the person in the center of the stage.
Cheng Zhi pursed his lips, picked up the microphone and looked at Song Baiyi.
"yes."
"I did this myself."
