Chapter 32

In the crowded practice room, the trainees looked at Jiang Tang standing in front of them, their eyes were confused and blank. This expression just fits the current situation. The camera teachers around were recording one by one, not letting any one go.

Jiang Tang was wearing a luxury brand ready-to-wear suit, her hair was tied up behind her head, and she was holding a process card in her hand. There was nothing else on it, just the system and rules of this survival competition.

Her mature dress formed a sharp contrast with those immature trainees.

Jiang Tang, who was standing in the front, took a quick look at the scene and introduced, "Welcome aboard the Youth Train. Today, in thirty minutes, sixty-nine trainees will set off!" She paused and continued, "And there are only sixty-three seats on the train. This also means that after today's performance, some trainees will have to say goodbye to this place."

They knew about the elimination system a month ago, but some people in the audience were quick-witted and knew that the show would only have weight if it was effective, so they made surprised expressions.

Jiang Tang, who was standing there, glanced at the process card. "Please trainees take this performance seriously. As for the rest of the content... only those who stay can hear it."

She smiled, "Then, see you after the performance!"

Just as she came suddenly, she left suddenly. The trainees' eyes were fixed on her back, as if they were looking at some strange person. It was not until she left the practice room that everyone retracted their eyes. The

program also filmed a segment for Jiang Juyou's group.

The backstage was too busy and no one dared to stand in the corridor to block the way, so most of the cameras were fixed. The camera arranged for Jiang Juyou and his group was in the VIP room on the second floor.

When editing in the later stage, the trainees' words were also quoted to introduce this group of people.

"Is the teacher who grades the same as the one who did the pre-check last week?" The trainee who was participating in the performance for the first time turned around and asked Ye Xing.

Ye Xing thought for a moment, "... No, only the heads and team leaders of each department will participate in the performance."

He counted the people on his fingers and recalled for the people around him, "During the pre-check last time, the teachers with purple badges on their chests were from the A&R department, the ones with yellow ropes were team leaders, and the ones with white ropes were heads. The ones with green badges were from the marketing department, the ones with blue badges were from the affairs department, and the ones with orange badges were from the newcomer department."

The program team followed Ye Xing's introduction and cut out the names of the people who would be attending this time one by one.

"Ah! And the chief producer's badge is white, and the rope is also white!" Ye Xing added.

The trainee was speechless after hearing this. "Do you think I can't recognize the aura of the chief producer?"

"When the chief producer appears, I feel like I don't even need to turn on the air conditioner."

"I feel like the air is thinner."

"You still have feelings? I don't even have feelings!"

The youngsters who were recording the show for the first time didn't know anything, but they discussed it recklessly, and their words were also used to introduce the chief producer.

The chief producer, who was labeled with various labels, immediately whetted everyone's appetite, but the program team just didn't disclose the appearance of the chief producer.

The backstage was preparing, and the heads and teachers of various departments also went to the VIP seats on the second floor, waiting for the performance to begin.

There are four VIP boxes on the second floor, two on each side of the stage. Jiang Juyou and her friends were in the second box on the right side of the stage. When there were only five minutes left, a group of people came out of the box with iPads. There was a layer of glass outside separating them from the other seats. The chairs here were also more comfortable and softer than other seats. Jiang Juyou raised her eyebrows after sitting down.

The appearance of these people immediately attracted the attention of other fans. Everyone looked in that direction, but because the lights were off, their seats were close to the top, and they were all sitting, so it was difficult to see anything clearly.

The fixed cameras of the program group were all in the back, so they could take pictures of the backs of the judges and the stage.

When it was about to start, you could see from the screen that all the judges had lit up their iPads, revealing the page of the program list.

The person sitting in the middle of the seat leaned to the side and asked, "How is the order arranged? Did they draw the lottery themselves?"

The person next to him answered, "No, it was arranged by Minister Liu."

"That's what I told you." The person in the middle straightened up again.

People with quick minds can already guess the identity of the person in the middle.

At the same time, the card interface on the screen disappeared and was replaced by the logo of this program. Questions and discussions also echoed in the audience.

"Youth Thrills 21 Times?"

"What is this?"

"Group Variety?"

"Isn't this the name of this performance?"

No matter what is said below, the performance has already begun.

Jiang Tang came on stage in that outfit, her knuckles clenched so tightly that they turned white. It was obvious that she was a little nervous. She walked to the middle of the stage and raised the microphone. "Welcome to the preliminaries of the survival competition "Youth Throbbing 21 Times". Hello everyone, I am the host of this survival competition. My name is Jiang Tang. "

"Huh?"

"It really is a survival competition, you see!"

"Oh my god, I guessed it right!"

"But why is it 21 times?"

"Preliminaries?"

Just like what she said just now, the rest of the rules can only be heard by those who stay, so Jiang Tang did not introduce the rules of this survival competition, but emphasized the performance instructions. The main purpose is to prohibit filming, because the stage will be released after the program is released.

After she finished saying this, the performance officially began.

"Then please look at the big screen--"

The cards appeared on the screen again. This time, a total of nine cards were lit up in sequence, starting with Pei Luming and ending with Gao Xiayu. This group of nine people who were praised were the first to go on stage.

Pei Luming was still popular among the audience. When his face appeared, there was a round of cheers from the audience.

The people in the stands looked at the iPad again and sighed, "It's really cruel to the group behind."

"It's cruel to put any group behind. It's better to end the pain early."

"That's right."

The screen dimmed, and the venue became pitch black.

The nine trainees looked at the punctuation on the stage, quickly stood in position, and waited for the start.

There were many people expecting it in the audience, but most of them were unfamiliar with these trainees. They looked at the stage without showing much interest.

When the lights came on, everyone was stunned and started discussing.

"They are dressed exactly the same and wearing masks... How can we tell them apart?"

"Is the stylist crazy?"

"Where is my baby? I can't see him!"

The music "Purple Lamhini" started, and the nine masked people immediately moved to the music. It was even a situational drama. They looked like they were in a ** fever.

This music is actually a full rap song, with a sense of hip-hop and gangsterism. The momentum of the voice, the momentum of the dance, the momentum of the costumes, and the momentum of the stage, none of them can be missing.

As soon as the prelude sounded, several people took off their ugly masks and stretched their bodies. The leader arrogantly threw the box in his hand to the ground, stepped on it with one foot, and began his performance.

The first few sentences were Gao Xiayu's part. The rap that dragged the beat showed his ease, and his deep voice was in line with the atmosphere of the song. Almost

at the same time, exclamations rang out from the scene.

The sound was so unexpected that this performance would have such a high-quality performance.

There are nine people in this group, without vocals. Basically, they are composed of four dancers and five rappers. They have just started to learn rap, and the easiest thing is to learn to sing along with the original song.

When Gao Xiayu was picking out the details, he even asked them to pronounce the words and sounds the same as the original song. It was through practicing over and over again that the stage was presented today.

The extremely strong drum beats in the chorus stimulated the hearing, making people shake their heads along. The neat and uniform dance moves on the stage satisfied the visual senses, making people scream with excitement.

The strength of each move was so strong that it seemed to smash the stage, which made people excited.

The big screen switched back and forth between individual close-ups and group straight shots. Every time it switched to the chorus dance part, a scream would sound on the scene.

Jiang Juyu looked at the stage and then at the audience seats, and also included the audience's reaction in the review scope.

When the stage was coming to an end, several people returned to the back of the stage, picked up the props on the ground, turned around with the sound of pulling the trigger, and a gunshot was heard. After the sound, nine people fell to the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh——"

"Fuck, handsome, it exploded!"

"Who and who? Who and who are these? Who was that at the beginning?!"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, is the first stage going to explode like this?"

Jiang Juyou on the stage also raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that they actually modified the movements and added some settings.

Jiang Juyou lowered his head again and wrote and drew on the iPad, leaving a short comment.

The nine people who finished the stage did not leave, but stood in a row, panting and introducing themselves, so that the audience could match their faces with their names.

Surprisingly, in addition to Gao Xiayu who was more eye-catching, Pei Luming was also very eye-catching.

He has a handsome look that is very memorable. He was also the center of the chorus during the performance just now. His movements were so clean and neat that people sighed that the center is worthy of being the center.

After they introduced themselves, there was no other extra movements. They bowed and left the stage. Before the audience had time to ask questions, the next group of candidates began to appear on the screen.

The first card to be lit up was Ye Xing's. When Ye Xing's card lit up, there was a burst of screams at the scene. The atmosphere that was impacted by the previous group immediately dissipated, and everyone focused their attention on Ye Xing.

Ye Xing and Chen Wu were in the same group. There were twelve people in their group, and the difficulty was greater than that of other groups. What was even more difficult was that they came on stage after Gao Xiayu's group.

Chen Wu, who passed by Gao Xiayu, said: "...Who understands my pain."

Ye Xing, who was behind him, patted his shoulder and said, "I understand."

Because there were many people in their group and they were all novices, the overall choreography of the stage was more dramatic, and there was no requirement for synchronized dancing, because everyone danced in different directions and could not see the unsynchronized dance.

The song they chose was "bury a friend". It sounds easy, but you need to have a very stable core to dance without shaking your voice.

But with such a stage, you don't need to think about it. Why would the audience who just watched Gao Xiayu's group give this group a high rating? At least this group has Ye Xing to support it. Whenever Ye Xing's face appears on the big screen, there will be a commotion down there.

The other groups are worse. Although they are all acceptable, everyone will always think of the first group and then keep comparing them.

In addition to the group stage, there is also a solo stage.

When it comes to the solo stage performance, everyone is surprised to find that these seven people are all from the first group.

Pei Luming was the last to perform as the first among the seven. He performed "River" by Bishop Briggs. The staff placed his microphone in the middle of the stage, and he trotted onto the stage. The audience cheered him on.

Jiang Juyou sat there, and the teacher behind her introduced Pei Luming's practice to her.

"Like Pei Luming's situation, he is the fastest growing among all the trainees, so fast that I once doubted whether he was pretending before."

"He was born with a stable chassis and a strong core, which was obvious when he first joined the company. His muscle control when dancing has also improved during this period of time, to the extent that God has given him food."

"He is still growing, but his proportions are very good. If he is taller in the future, the stage viewing level may be better."

"... I think Pei Luming's most amazing ability is his imitation ability. Whether it is dancing or singing, he will be able to do it after a few teachings."

"The same goes for rap. He is the first person who has learned to perform rap with a suitable voice and can suppress the voice."

"Really, he learns super fast. Every time after class, he will chase me to ask."

"A natural artist."

"This sentence is true... He has no shortcomings in singing, dancing, and rapping."

"There are some, such as height."

"Hahahaha, he's only thirteen years old!"

Several teachers at the back started discussing while Pei Luming was performing in front of the stage. Jiang Juyu could clearly feel the praise from the teachers behind him from his stage.

There are only a few trainees who are good at vocals, and Yao Shuo is the leader. But Yao Shuo excels in technique, while Pei Luming not only has technique, but also emotion.

Yao Shuo's singing, except for the first time that shocked Jiang Juyou, the rest of the time was like running water, entering from the left ear, and before she could process it, it flowed out from the right ear.

Maybe he is still young and doesn't know how to put his emotions into it, but if this reason is used to excuse him, then what about Pei Luming? He is obviously younger, but he knows how to put emotions into the lyrics.

When Pei Luming performed this song, his voice was like sand and gravel caught in the wind. When the wind is weak, it is fine sand, and when the wind blows, it is pebbles. Every word of the lyrics hits people's ears.

What's more worth mentioning is that he sang this song with open mic and no backing vocals. The quality of his vocals was very clear. It was a song that was almost entirely high notes and required straining his voice to increase the volume. It was already amazing that he could finish the performance. He also designed a lot of movements in the middle.

Jiang Juyou also praised it when he heard it, "The voice is very stable."

The teachers behind him immediately added:

"The physical strength is also very good. Singing this song is very physically demanding."

"I really think he ranks first among all the trainees in terms of comprehensive strength."

"It would be better if he grew taller."

"He can't get over the height problem, right?"

Jiang Juyou in the front also laughed after hearing it.

After Pei Luming's stage performance ended, today's performance was over. All the trainees came up to greet the audience. Music was still playing in the venue. The trainees walked around and looked for people they knew.

In addition to those who saw the news online, the audience in the audience also included their relatives and friends. Parents almost came to every show. This time there were also many classmates. Some of them saw their classmates below and waved happily.

After more than two hours, everyone was a little tired of sitting. The audience left the stage noisily, and the people in the box also stood up and moved around.

The trainees who returned to the backstage all hugged each other with sighs, and the groups also stood together and praised each other.

After a while, a staff member informed them to go to the practice room and wait.

"We have to face it."

"...Ah, can time stop?"

"My heart starts beating again."

"Did your heart not beat just now?"

"Tsk, you are so annoying."

"So nervous..."

When everyone arrived at the practice room, there was no one inside except the staff of the program group. Because they had just finished the performance, everyone was very tired and wanted to sit down first. Unexpectedly, the door of the practice room was pushed open just when they were halfway through sitting down.

All the teachers who had not appeared before came in, and the chief producer walked in front, scanning the trainees in the venue.

The chief producer who had been hidden by the program group also appeared at this time.

Jiang Jueyou's dark brown hair was tied loosely behind her head. She was wearing a slightly fitted dark grey knitted long-sleeved top. It was obvious that she was very thin. Even though the clothes were so fitted, they still looked a little baggy on her. The knitted long shirt had a zipper at the collar, and the collar was a little high. She pulled the zipper to the top and hid her chin. The

dark blue jeans she chose also suited her personality. They were straight-legged pants, but they made her look like wide-legged pants. The pants were long enough to mop the ground, covering part of her shoes. Her khaki suede shoes were covered underneath, and even with the covered heels, there were still a few centimeters of heels.

She always dressed like this, always in black, white and grey. Because she was thin, she had her own style no matter what she wore.

Jiang Juyou has a plain face. Her head and face are both very good-looking, but her facial features are a little lacking. There is nothing wrong with them, but it is also hard to say what is beautiful about them. In fact, because of the downward corners of her mouth, she looks a little fierce.

At least Jiang Juyou thinks that she is not very good-looking, but her elder sister and younger sister always say that she has an actor's face. When she was in high school, they often urged her to learn acting and wanted her to enter the entertainment industry. But Jiang Juyou was really not interested in those things, so she didn't listen to those suggestions.

What was different today was that Jiang Juyou wore glasses. The frameless glasses rested on her nose, which lowered her already cold aura by a few degrees.

Seeing that it was Jiang Juyou who came in first, the interns quickly stood up and called out, "Hello, Jiang Zhi."

After calling her, they dared to greet others.

Jiang Juyou nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down. After she sat down, she looked around and didn't look at the trainees.

In just a few seconds, everyone felt the aura that the trainees talked about. They

really didn't even dare to breathe.

After the other directors and teachers were seated, Jiang Juyou looked at the trainees standing in front of her, "...Sit down."

Jiang Juyou sighed after she finished speaking, then took out her iPad, looked down at the ground, and said, "The elimination list has been announced, there is nothing to say, I think you should know it in your hearts."

Jiang Juyou was also very worried every time she came to this stage. She didn't want to criticize people every time, but there was really nothing worth her praising.

After checking the list, she looked up and searched in the crowd, "...Chi Qiao, who do you think it is?"

Chi Qiao lowered his head when his name was called.

Jiang Juyou didn't expect him to reply, but looked at the others and said, "The configuration of each group is almost the same, two old trainees and a few new trainees, the configuration is the same, and the teachers who teach you are the same. So where do you think the variables that cause the differences between you are?"

"Because you don't work hard." She raised her voice and cast her eyes on Chi Qiao's group.

Jiang Juyou was furious when Chi Qiao's group was mentioned. She sighed and then opened her iPad. "As usual, those who didn't comment didn't have any impression."

"Gao Xiayu's group performed very well. I was surprised during the pre-check, but I didn't expect that I would be surprised again when they were on the stage. But it's a pity that the parts are too fragmented and I can't hear anything. You should be glad that you still have the solo stage. If not, you would all have low scores."

"Of course there are still many shortcomings, but compared with these people, it's enough. Gao Xiayu, you must know what is lacking in today's stage. Go back and analyze it with them."

Gao Xiayu looked at Jiang Juyou. He nodded every time she said something, and finally replied: "Okay."

Jiang Juyou even specifically mentioned Pei Luming, "Pei Luming, the teachers think highly of you, saying that your vocals are as good as Yao Shuo, and your dance is about to surpass Chi Qiao." She even chuckled after she finished speaking, and the implication of pulling someone down was very obvious.

The teachers who were forced to be pulled out for demonstration also touched their noses, looking a little flustered.

Pei Luming was also frightened by these words, "No, no..."

"Your performance on the solo stage today was good, but this song is still a bit straining on your voice. You have just passed the voice change period, so you still need to protect it well."

After Jiang Juyu finished speaking, Pei Luming shrank his neck in surprise and replied in a low voice, "Thank you for the compliment, teacher..."

The rare compliment made the trainees nervous for a moment. After commenting on this group, it was Ye Xing and their group's turn.

"Hiss... Chen Wu, you should be thankful that your group is after Gao Xiayu and the others, otherwise I would not have any impression of you." Jiang Juyu glanced at the notes she had written down after she finished speaking, "It can be seen that you are working hard on the details of the movements, but it's not enough. Who said that it's okay if it's almost there during dance practice? There must be someone who said that. All the almost-there performances turned out badly in the end, and your group's performance was more obvious. It was obvious that the first part had carefully considered the movements, so why did it start to get messy later on?"

Jiang Juyu, who was good at criticizing others, made them feel much more familiar, and they felt relieved after listening to her.

"The next group, Wang Siyu. Thank you Chi Qiao and his team for paving the way for you, otherwise it would be your team that would be eliminated. You can go back and analyze the specific reasons." After Jiang Juyou said this, the others understood that the team that might be eliminated this time might be Chi Qiao and his team.

After commenting on this group, the rest of the group jumped directly to Chi Qiao and his team.

"You two have won the title of the trainee who disappointed me the most, and you are tied for first place. Come on, let's applaud." Jiang Juyou took the lead in clapping after he finished speaking, but the others did not dare to do anything, and just watched quietly.

This sentence was like a huge rock being lifted and smashed on the ground. No one dared to act rashly, and even their breathing became slow.

She put her iPad aside, crossed her legs, and leaned back. "You two are the first batch to join the company. It has been four months since we started training at the end of June. In these four months, I haven't seen any progress from you two. You are all just complacent with your past achievements."

"Before, when people asked me who was good at vocals, I could only think of Yao Shuo. Now, if they ask me again, I have several names in my mind. The same goes for dance..." "

When others are using you as their goals and trying to catch up, what are you doing?"

"Why were you only good at one thing before joining the company? After four months of training, you are still only good at one thing... Don't you take another course?"

"Pei Luming and Ye Xing, who joined the company at the same time, knew nothing when they first came in. Now one is called a triathlete by the teacher, and the other is only average. What have you two been doing during this time?"

The practice room was quiet for a while. Even the directors sitting on both sides did not dare to look up, afraid to look at the trainees, and afraid to look at Jiang Juyou in the mirror.

Jiang Juyou turned his head and aimed his eyes at Chi Qiao, "Chi Qiao, you have a bigger problem."

"Don't you have any pursuit for your stage? Why do you come up with something like this to fool the audience?"

"You are the leader of your group. You know that their life and death are related to you, but you selfishly only care about your own stage. As a result,

you lose both the big and the small." She brushed the hair beside her ears and tried to suppress her anger, but still failed. "Before coming in, I was still persuading myself not to say these to you. You are still young, only fourteen or fifteen years old... But you say it yourself, are you young? Don't you understand what I said? Don't you understand how important the performance this month is? Don't you understand who the final presentation on the stage is related to? Don't you understand that their fate is in the hands of the captain?"

Chi Qiao sat there with his head down, tears began to fall to the ground, his body was shaking, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Jiang Juyou took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, picked up the iPad again, and put an end to today's performance. "Zhao Yanxu from Chen Wu's group, He Jia from Sang Mo's group, Zhang Minggu, Chen Xiang, Yang Chenyu, and Bai Ruyan from Chi Qiao's group will no longer be able to join the next performance."

"Although I just scolded your captain harshly, it's not entirely because your group didn't perform well on stage. We made this decision based on the feedback from the teachers in class and the expectations of the parents."

"If you really like this path, then I hope you will work harder in the future so that we can meet again as soon as possible."

She said, and stood up, "Let's talk with the friends who eat and live together. Today's performance ends here. Tomorrow's training will be as usual. The specific rules of the survival competition will also be announced tomorrow."

Jiang Juyou stood up, and everyone at the scene stood up as well.

Chi Qiao and Yao Shuo, who were standing in the crowd, were silently wiping their tears. Jiang Juyou saw them and called their names again, "Chi Qiao, Yao Shuo, come to the office with me, the others can disband."

The moment Jiang Juyou turned around, she heard the sighs of the staff.

"It's so cruel..."

Yes, it's so cruel. It's better to be scolded by her here than to be scolded by the public for not having strength after debuting in the future.
