Chapter 37
Due to a sudden stage accident, the real-time recording of the performance had to be temporarily suspended, and the top training live broadcast rooms on major platforms were urgently cut off.
The performance was suspended, and Luo Jiayu's group was notified to go downstairs to rest and wait for the next performance. They would continue today's performance after the accident scene was cleaned up and the safety of the scenery was checked.
The staff immediately rushed over to help the two trainees who were lying on the ground. Luo Jiayu stood up and dusted off his clothes. When the staff asked him if he was injured, he put his hands in his pockets and replied confidently, "Yes."
The staff suddenly became nervous, worried that he had been hurt or injured. "No, no, no, no, let's get you to the infirmary first, and then call the hospital..."
Luo Jiayu looked at him seriously, and his heart sank as he looked at him. He felt as if the air density in the entire world had increased by ninety-nine percentage points. In this solemn and silent atmosphere, he saw the handsome man opposite him pointing at the gold-rimmed glasses he had just taken off.
"The lens was not strong enough and broke into pieces."
The cosplay experience card for the gentleman villain expired halfway through use. He felt a little regretful. He had originally wanted to go for a cool and abstinent style to stun those who had always treated him as a fool. Now his chance to be the ever-changing Xiao Luo was gone.
As expected, I still have to rely on wearing his original sunglasses to calm the situation.
"..." The staff member closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Indeed, it is indeed a serious problem. As for this... you should go down and rest first. Tell us if you have anything later."
"Okay." After Luo Jiayu answered, he looked at his childhood friend who looked ashen beside him.
At this moment, another staff member was trying very gently to coax Chu Yu, who was lowering her head and feeling a little autistic. Several colleagues around her looked at her with admiration, and they looked at Chu Yu with awe as if they were looking at a time bomb.
Luo Jiayu turned his head and saw that there were two balls of cotton stuffed in sister Wenrou's ears.
Wow, he came prepared.
The two were led offstage by the staff. His childhood friend's face showed no emotion and he still had a cold expression. The sister next to him asked him gently, "Are you feeling unwell?" He just shook his head silently and only squeezed out one or two words after being asked many times.
"fine."
"Need not."
"Um."
Then the real-time screaming speaker above his head:
I'm not going to work in class B anymore. I'm going to be a security guard at the Summer Palace! (Holding a loudspeaker) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Appreciating the beautiful view) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Spying on others feeding the ducks) (Hello, you can't feed the ducks) (Leaving work) (Secretly feeding the ducks after work)]
...It seems that the one who suffered more psychological damage was his childhood friend.
Normally, after leaving the stage, he should have returned to the waiting room to wait for notification. However, as he approached the door, Chu Yu suddenly grabbed his sleeve and whispered to Luo Jiayu in a weak voice, "Is there some deserted place we can stay? I don't want to see anyone right now."
"What's up, buddy?"
"Dude's dying."
"Okay, baby." Luo Jiayu agreed happily, and took the half-dead Chu Yu into his arms, then turned around and walked towards the lounge.
Chu Yu was led by him into the empty lounge. After entering the door, she realized: "Why did the address change?"
There was no one else around, and the systems in the two people's minds popped up at the same time, and their expressions looked more serious than before.
"Host." Luo Jiayu system said seriously.
"Baby." Teacher Zhao said seriously.
Chu Yu closed his eyes: "..."
Everyone calls him that, and it makes him seem like he has no seniority or status in the family.
"There's a problem with the plot." The two systems said in unison.
"Already reviewed." Luo Jiayu sat down on the nearest sofa chair, and familiarly took out the unused tea bags he had bought to piss off Bai Yu from the system space, and began to leisurely make tea with the kettle and teacups in the lounge.
"..." The system's eyelids twitched at its host's incoherent behavior, but before she could say anything, Luo Jiayu spoke first:
"When the stage screen fell, I wanted to ask, isn't this the plot point of my character?"
In the original book, he was the biggest villain. In order to frame the two protagonists in the second performance, he deliberately contacted the staff with connections in the camp of the sponsor and asked them to create safety hazards in the stage scenery for the protagonists, which led to a huge stage accident in the second performance. His talent show career was also ruined after the truth of this incident was revealed later.
And I vaguely remember that the character Chu Yu was the one who was responsible for running around for him, opening the gate and handing him the knife.
So, even though the two vicious male supporting characters were on strike, why did the plot point of the stage accident not only not disappear, but instead came earlier?
"Neither of us thinks this is a simple stage accident." Luo Jiayu's system said in a cold tone.
"In the novel world, you didn't follow your original roles. In order to make the plot progress smoothly, other characters should have taken your place to complete those tasks, and therefore became the new villain."
"Inherit our legacy?" Luo Jiayu sighed. "Can this thing be passed down from generation to generation? Doesn't that mean it's our son-in-law?"
Chu Yu turned her head sharply and looked at him warily: "Then who is the father and who is the mother between us?"
"...Be serious!" the system broke down. "This is a very serious problem!"
"I approve." The water boiled, Luo Jiayu poured a cup and put the tea bag in it, "But I have a question."
Although Wei Ziyu and Jiang Chenglu were both on the stage at the scene of the accident, the direction in which the stage screen fell when the stage was evacuated was directly towards Chu Yu, and the scenery behind them also hit them. It is hard not to suspect that the person targeted by the mastermind behind the scenes has changed.
"It is indeed possible." Teacher Zhao analyzed carefully and talked about it.
"Although my baby has basically been an independent person all along, he is now the most popular person in the camp. The first bird to stick out gets shot, and there is a high possibility that he will become a target because of his prominent position."
"Actually, I never knew why I'm so popular." Chu Yu murmured.
"Now the goal is very clear." Luo Jiayu took a sip of tea, then frowned in bitterness, put down the cup, and looked seriously at the air in front of him.
Chu Yu and the two systems quietly waited for the local tyrant's next words.
Luo Jiayu stretched out two fingers.
"Protect the baby and catch the bad guys."
Fortunately, Chu Yu didn't drink the tea, otherwise half of the water would have choked his mouth and sprayed all over his face.
"Very accurate." Luo Jiayu system said mercilessly, not caring about the life or death of the other person or system.
"Does it have to be this way?" Chu Yu grimaced in jealousy, feeling that his generation in this family was getting lower and lower.
Teacher Zhao chose to continue doting on the host: "I'll rephrase it. Protect the targeted individuals, locate the mastermind, eliminate the targets, and resolve the hidden dangers."
It sounded much better than Luo Jiayu's eight-character strategy. Chu Yu's expression finally relaxed.
The casual conversation came to a temporary end. A loud collective announcement came from the corridor outside the door. The accident scene had been cleaned up. The remaining trainees, starting with Luo Jiayu's group, continued the first public performance.
The camera was turned on again, and the live broadcast room that had been black for a long time was connected to the scene again. The brightly lit stage reappeared on the screen. The accident came suddenly, but the performance could not be stopped because of this, otherwise it would be unfair to those trainees who tried their best to stay but did not have time to go on stage.
From this moment on, no matter how fierce the previous barrage of condemnation and scolding was, the audience continued to return to their original positions, choosing to appreciate the performances of those trainees who had not had the chance to show themselves, and accompany them to the end.
Luo Jiayu was the first to go on stage this time. His gold-rimmed glasses were broken, so he simply wore sunglasses this time and no one liked him. The accident just now had almost no impact on him. He even smiled more arrogantly because he just found out that he could catch the big bad guys in the draft camp and finally had something to do.
Before the live broadcast was interrupted, the audience witnessed with their own eyes that he was almost hit by the collapsed scenery, but he calmly pulled Chu Yu away from the place where the screen fell, avoiding a disaster that could have been life-threatening, and he still looks so calm and composed.
Others may not know, but at least Chu Yu’s fans are ready to cast their votes for this handsome man who saved her life.
At this time, he was the first to go on stage after a mess and chaos. Even with a full debuff, this guy was able to successfully ignite the whole audience with his first solo part, letting the audience cheer along with his rap. When the song reached its climax, he made a few gestures in a cool manner, and each movement was accurately selected to capture the most suitable camera position.
Although Wei Ziyu and Jiang Chenglu's duet part received a lot of screams as expected, unlike the day of the test, Luo Jiayu's part was not suppressed. As the song progressed, the fans' reactions became more enthusiastic, and even many audience members who did not hold his light sticks or banners were shouting his name.
Some people are born to be superstars. At least in the live competition among the same group after the stage, Luo Jiayu's votes unexpectedly surpassed the other two main characters and the second male lead, and he won the most difficult first place in the most competitive environment.
As for the subsequent PK between two groups with the same song, their group naturally won with an absolute crushing advantage and received bonus votes from the program team.
After the performance ended, Luo Jiayu poked the system in the quiet darkness after the tide receded: "What's my current popularity value?"
The system didn't answer him. Instead, the same electronic female voice that had automatically broadcast the information before came out, reporting to him in a serious tone:
[Settlement of the first public stage round has begun... This stage has increased the popularity value by 183, and the growth assessment is: Excellent; the host's potential secondary assessment is: Excellent; the current host Luo Jiayu's total popularity value is -19.5, and the belonging range is: less than 0, which means he cannot be ranked; the assessment result is... The assessment result is... Guo Guo is...]
The electronic voice began to become disorganized and stuck at the end, and there was no further news. Luo Jiayu sighed and said, "You're a robot and you still stutter?"
[The result is that the popularity value is too low, the mission failed... Report, a new settlement page appears.]
[A special accident occurred. The popularity value of the first public stage increased by 216, of which the popularity of the main stage accounted for 183, and there was another special situation before the stage that increased the popularity value by 33. The result is that the popularity value is normal, and the mission continues.]
"Special situation?" Luo Jiayu seemed to be thinking about something.
"Why don't you check your phone when you get back?" the system responded calmly.
"We'll talk about this later." Luo Jiayu agreed in a good mood. When he returned to the backstage, the first person he saw was Chu Yu who was waiting for him there.
"I just realized that you just saved my life." Chu Yu looked at him seriously.
"Um?"
"You are my savior now."
"Yeah." Luo Jiayu took off his sunglasses, lowered his head to his face, and smiled with his eyes curved. "So you want to pledge yourself to me?"
"No." Chu Yu remained calm, but her expression and tone were sincere. "To repay you, I'm going to use my own little treasury to treat you to a good meal."
"How good?"
"Today is Thursday." That was all Chu Yu said.
Moreover, he just checked and found that there was actually a KFC Crazy Thursday ordering event in the system mall. The discounts were even bigger than those in his hometown. He could buy two family buckets by throwing in 50 yuan.
Bloody profit! Bloody profit!
"Then I'll have two more beers."
"Okay, you are the boss tonight." Chu Yu agreed readily.
"Let's have a big meal together to celebrate my survival."
Luo Jiayu looked at him for a while, then suddenly hugged him. From Chu Yu's perspective, he seemed so happy that he was floating in the clouds, as if he couldn't get up or down.
"Okay." Luo Jiayu said, "Celebrate your survival, and celebrate my survival."
"Celebrate that we both survived."
