Chapter 95
On the fifth day of the holiday, the two were taking turns rolling the dice to decide what to eat for lunch when they suddenly received a broadcast notification calling all trainees to gather in the studio to select songs for the finals stage.
In other words, the holiday ended early and the program progress was pushed directly to the last link. When the broadcast sounded, Chu Yu was just about to roll the dice. After hearing the announcement, he looked up blankly, and the small cube between his fingers slipped away. Luo Jiayu took the opportunity to secretly exchange the points he threw for the dish he wanted to eat.
Chu Yu was stunned by the three words "finals" he had just heard.
After going through the initial evaluation, theme song, first, second and third public performances, it should be natural to prepare for the finals stage. However, when these three words really appear in my ears, I still feel as if time is like a dream.
If Chu Xiaoyu had heard this broadcast a hundred days ago, he would have been in disbelief that he could actually survive to the final round of the talent show. After all, from the first day he came into this world, he had been prepared to set up a stall on the overpass to sell mobile phone films.
But in the end, he still managed to stand up until now, and the journey he had come all the way through was not as difficult as he had imagined. Instead, there were many memorable moments that made him feel that they would remain in his mind for a long time.
"...All trainees, gather at the studio before 11:50. Repeat..."
It was now eleven thirty-eight. Chu Yu turned her head back and said, "I don't have time to eat today... Why are my dice on your side?"
"It's okay. If you don't have time for lunch, you can have dinner." Luo Jiayu replied naturally, and then happily showed her boyfriend the dice result, "Look, two 3s."
Chu Yu nodded, and Luo Jiayu stood up. Before leaving, he rubbed his boyfriend's earlobe with his finger and said, "Let's go to the studio."
Chu Yu didn't move, staring at the dice in front of him with an inquiring look: "Both are 3?"
"This is fate's will." Luo Xiaogou answered seriously.
The boyfriend went to get the keys and change clothes, leaving Chu Yu to take the two dice in disbelief, looked at them for a while, and then threw the dice belonging to Luo Jiayu.
I threw two rounds, all 3s.
Throw it again, still 3.
Lead filled.
"Come back!"
-
Inside the studio.
The hostess stood on the stage with a cue card in her hand, facing the top 20 trainees who had made it through the rounds of elimination. She first sincerely congratulated everyone, congratulating them on having successfully stayed after the rigorous competition again; then she changed the subject and solemnly began to announce the rules for this song selection.
This time the seats were still strictly divided according to the rankings. Chu Yu ranked second overall and sat on the left side of the center, with the person closest to him being the prince; to the right of the prince sat the person who was the instruction of destiny. This was the first time Luo Jiayu had rushed into the debut circle, and he had reached the peak right from the start, fighting his way to third place, and then he and his childhood friend won the left and right protector positions. Wei Ziyu sat between them, like a galaxy that separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
If you say the position is bad, this is the first time he enjoys the treatment that a debut position deserves; if you say the position is good, this is the first time he cannot sit with Chu Yu when choosing songs. In the past, they could stay in the corner and whisper to each other secretly until the end of the song selection. Now, the protector position is even worse than the corner position.
But having advanced so far, there was no reason to retreat. Luo Jiayu bit his lower lip unwillingly for a while, and then he suddenly realized: he still had to work hard. Either he would sit in the C position, or his childhood friend would sit in the C position, so that the distance between them would not be blocked by the Queen Mother.
Wei Ziyu, who played the Queen Mother, was actually sweating profusely. The scene where Capibara leaned against the wall, calmly stretched out his finger and gestured to him, saying "I am 1" was still vivid in his mind. Due to the psychological trauma, he didn't dare to sit too close to Chu Yu.
But the guy who was glaring at his seat on the other side made him want to stay away even more. He felt that the air around Luo Jiayu was black when he got close, and it was almost as dense as compressed biscuits.
It definitely doesn't look like 0. A certain prince silently made a diagnosis in his heart.
"There's no doubt that every one of you who's made it this far is incredibly talented, but the competition continues. The most rigorous round of selection awaits you at the very end. I hope you'll all perform even better than last time, spare no effort, and do your best to present the most perfect performance for everyone." The host finished his words and flipped the cue card to the next page. "Now, I'll announce the repertoire for this performance."
There are only two optional songs in the finals, with ten people singing each song. According to their positioning, they can be divided into main C, dance one, two, three, vocal one, two, three, and rap one, two, three. The number of shots and parts decreases with the order of positions, and the comprehensive ability of each member is tested at the same time. Both songs have a large number of group dance parts and chorus parts.
Both songs involved group dances, which was a bolt from the blue for Capibala, whose limbs were not very flexible, but since he had been struck by lightning several times along the way, it was also expected.
Chu Yu is no longer as scared of dancing as he was on stage the past few times. His eyes are blank at this moment: Just practice more, what else can I do.
But because he was distracted, he didn't hear the song titles announced by the host at first. He just heard a few English words and knew that both songs were English songs, which he had never heard before.
It wasn't until the dance MV for the demonstration started playing that Chu Yu gradually opened his eyes.
Only then did he see clearly that the title of the first song contained a word with a rather erotic connotation.
The classic saxophone melody and the powerful drum beats hit his dazed head with every beat.
This song is probably the most explicit one among all the performances. Every movement is a naked interpretation of the word temptation. The lyrics, melody and dance are all dedicated to expressing the word sexual tension more extreme.
When the climax was broadcast, the lively trainees soon started to make a noise, because in addition to a group lying on the ground with their waists and hips twisting, there were also several overly ambiguous shots of two-person interactions. It was obvious that the program team had carefully selected them to attract attention and create explosive points. Every drawn eye and lip-close action was skirting the censorship rules.
Chu Yu was stunned.
Seeing this, the live broadcast room also exploded at the right time, and the barrage was full of CP names scrolling wildly. Among them, the most popular one was a pair of elementary school kids from the United States.
[Another Pisces marriage-granting stage! 】
[Pisces Pisces Pisces Pisces Pisces Pisces Pisces]
[This is not the stage of God’s chosen marriage, Pisces is selling me a lot]
[If Pisces were to perform this part, it would be a great deed for the program team.]
I want to watch them dance this part now.
The person who was placed with great hopes lowered his head silently, covering his ears with his drooping hair in an attempt to hide his presence, then raised his head with a determined look, looking like a warrior ready to die.
If you can avoid dancing, you will definitely not dance to this song.
The MV of the second song that played next was relatively easier to accept. Although it was also a rock and heavy metal style that relied heavily on live performance, compared with the previous song, it was not astringent and was more exciting. Chu Yu would almost choose this song with her eyes closed.
However, the program team did not give him the opportunity to choose, and immediately announced the rules for team division and song selection: the trainees present were divided into two teams, A and B, with the top two in the last performance serving as captains, and the captains would draw lots to decide which song to dance to.
Chu Yu, who ranked second in overall popularity last time, was awarded the title of captain of Team B. He went on stage with the prince beside him to draw the number balls.
There are a total of six number balls in the lottery machine. If you shake an odd number, you will jump to the first number, and if you shake an even number, you will jump to the second number. Before opening the blind box, the two captains first have a round of rock-paper-scissors, and the winner is responsible for drawing the numbers.
The prince walked forward with a righteous manner, turned around and faced Capibara with a gloomy expression, and said with full morale: "Come."
“…” Chu Yu looked down at the opponent’s hand and slowly got into position to punch.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
A soft and weak cloth versus a powerful stone. The one who shouts louder loses.
"OK, the winner is our Chu Xiaoyu. Now Xiaoyu will draw the number."
Capybara walked up slowly.
The moment he stood in front of the lottery machine, Chu Yu, who had been a materialist for twenty years, closed his eyes devoutly, clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky with a sad face.
God bless you, Buddha bless you, God bless you, and all the gods bless you.
No matter what it is, please come and bless him, just hope he doesn’t get the first song.
...For some reason, the face that popped into his mind at the end of his prayer was Luo Jiayu's. He attributed it to the fact that he was a little dizzy from falling in love. He opened his eyes with red ears and shook the number machine without hesitation.
A white numbered ball rolled out. He picked it up, first facing the camera with the number on it, and then looking at it towards himself.
A 3.
Damn it.
Destiny's Instruction himself was sitting in the audience, his eyes lighting up - it was exactly the song he wanted to dance to, it was exactly the number he hoped to get, and his own child was to be the captain. How could there be such a perfect arrangement in the world?
It was indeed the instruction of fate.
The subsequent captain selection process went much more smoothly. Each trainee took turns going on stage to choose a captain according to their ranking. If one team was full, the remaining trainees would have to go to the other team. In other words, the higher the ranking, the more choices they had.
Putting aside the top two captains, the first person to be chosen was Luo Jiayu, who ranked third.
According to the requirements of the program team, Chu Yu stood side by side with Wei Ziyu, and then turned their backs together. They could not turn back until the team members' selection was completed.
He closed his eyes and heard the sound of chairs shaking in the audience, then footsteps. After a while, a hand grabbed his wrist behind his back, and he naturally shook it back.
Because the rule was that team members were not allowed to speak before the captain came back, Luo Jiayu grabbed the palm of his team leader's hand and kept stroking it with his fingertips, as if writing.
Chu Yu felt a tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, and his fingers trembled several times because of the touch. Moreover, his childhood friend seemed to have forgotten that his handwriting was just a scribble. He tried very hard to piece together and identify it, and only then did he vaguely understand what Luo Jiayu wanted to express.
——Dance with me.
“…” Chu Yu silently stretched out his finger, and his boyfriend put his palm over at the right time. He had just drawn half of the cross on it when his hand was held, and his fingertips were clasped tightly, preventing him from writing any further.
...Cheating ghost.
