Chapter 85
Wearing in-ear monitors, it was like sinking into the bottom of the sea. All the sounds from the outside world were blurred, leaving only oneself. The stage was over. Sang Mo should have come out from the bottom of the sea, but he sank. No matter how he cheered up, he could not hear the calls from the outside world.
Chen Wu waved to the team members to gather together. He said something, but Sang Mo could not hear a word.
The VCR outside was about to end. The C group was urged by the staff to get on the elevator. The stage began to play a short film about the stage concept, and the cheers of the fans at the scene also rang out.
When the short film ended, the melody of the prelude sounded -
like the protagonist's appearance, the majestic orchestral music immediately caught the audience's ears.
Seven people came up on the elevator. The screen at the back popped up posters of the seven people one by one. The screams from the audience overturned the entire venue.
The elevator did not stop and kept going up.
Gao Xiayu, who was in the C position, stood with his hands in his pockets. When the spotlight shone on him, he said, "Go ahead, Show them——"
This is the slogan of Group C. Every sentence starts with this.
When Gao Xiayu shouted like this, the fans at the scene shouted out the name of Group C together——
"Circlecenter!"
In the past, Yao Shuo would sing the opening, but this time it was handed over to Gao Xiayu. He stood in the C position, showing the aura of the captain, and successfully suppressed the atmosphere at the scene.
All three groups have tried such a grand stage. In the first public performance, Group B tried to have hundreds of dancers, but because the venue was small and the stage was not big, the visual effect was not very good. In the second public performance, Group A also tried this kind of song that could mobilize the audience, and compared with Group B, Group A still won.
But as soon as Group C came out, they didn't even need to say anything, the fans at the scene felt that Group C won.
Only a group like Group C, which is full of popular members, can support such a kingly temperament, especially when Gao Xiayu stood in the C position, the sense of pressure was even stronger.
The fans who were busy fighting just now had to sigh at this moment, the planning of this stage was really good.
After Gao Xiayu shouted the slogan, they also turned into three-second group fans and shouted the group name.
"The winter is coming, darkness cannot hide my ambition, bows and swords are gone, step by step, I will become the hero of the world."
The lyrics full of war declaration made the audience excited, blood boiling in the body, adrenaline soaring, Gao Xiayu's fans almost fainted.
The black and red stage layout perfectly displayed the concept of "ambition".
The lifting stage fell, and the seven people strode forward with the dancers leading the way. The all-black clothing style could not cover their radiance.
Yao Shuo held the headset and easily sang the climax of the whole song. Pei Luming also lost his childishness on the stage. He exchanged positions with Yao Shuo and stood in the center to lead the chorus.
The vigorous dance moves did not shake his voice, and the movements of the seven people were almost cut from the same mold.
The other two groups of people were also watching the screen in the backstage, and their expressions were no longer relaxed, and they all stared seriously.
The screen was also shocked by the momentum of this opening, and those passers-by who came in just because of the pop-up store clips also had their eyes lit up. They never thought that the trainees of random entertainment would be at this level.
"You fans are secretly enjoying the good stuff, right?"
"No, you don't promote it? Why did I see it now?"
"This open mic is awesome, it's not the entertainment I imagined."
"Can anyone tell me who the one in the beginning and the middle is? It's very important to me."
This is the first time that Chen Wu is responsible for a whole part of a song. He produced the bridge part independently. He turned all the pressure into motivation for learning. Whenever he couldn't sleep, he would hold his computer and write songs.
He spent countless days and nights like this, brainwashing himself to forget the things that would make him lose heart. He
practiced over and over again in the practice room, and when he really stood on the stage to perform this song, the feeling was different.
The waving cheering sticks in the audience lit up the world in his eyes. Chen Wu was like a flame trying to burn, trying to devour the suffering, swallowing the smoke and tears.
The intense dance and the rigorous chorus exhausted everyone's physical strength. Chen Wu suppressed the surging emotions and stared at the camera fiercely. His red eyes merged with the concept.
Everyone was excited by this high-pitched tune. The fans in the audience wanted to stand up and go crazy.
When singing Bridge, the atmosphere of the melody also fell. Chen Wu stood in the center, closed his eyes and sang this melody that he had rehearsed countless times in his heart.
"The eternal night is coming, the torches are lit, we are about to rush to the dawn and become the heroes of the world."
"Hold on a little longer, don't give up, even if you limp, you must break through the dawn--"
The melody gradually climbed, and the atmosphere on the scene was ignited again. The passionate chorus became the wood burning in the raging fire, and the high temperature swept the entire venue. The screams were about to break through the dome. The
soaring adrenaline went green in the body and went straight to the brain, telling them that love had been locked tonight.
The last melody ended, and the seven people stood on the stage, with ambitions that could not be hidden in their eyes.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh——”
The fans who were watching the live broadcast were already in a state of collapse, their desire to express themselves about to overflow. One by one, they took out their phones and rushed to Weibo and other platforms to find comrades to vent their excitement at the moment.
“Everyone stand up——”
“The national anthem of Country C has changed positions. The protagonist will be our national anthem from now on!”
“Every second is so handsome that my expression is distorted. The slogan at the beginning is too passionate!”
“I can’t stand it. I want to die when I think about such a perfect combination being missing two people!”
The live broadcast of the third public performance has not yet ended, and this stage has already swept the entire network. The popularity and public attention are unprecedentedly high. The younger generation on Douyin may have been counted by big data, and all of them have been swiped to this stage, and they have watched several in a row.
After the performance, Chen Wu collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face. His sobs were heartbreaking.
The others came forward, hugged him, and cried together.
The pressure that the seven people have endured in the past two months is unprecedented. They have to climb several more peaks than others. They thought they would not be able to climb over it, but as everyone saw today, not only did they climb over it, but they also climbed over it beautifully.
The burden on his body was lifted, and Chen Wu cried as if a heavy burden was lifted. He hugged Gao Xiayu and wailed about something. Gao Xiayu understood and patted his back with red eyes.
Pei Luming also sobbed, and the others also wiped their tears quietly.
There was no need to say it, everyone understood how great the pressure during this period was.
After the third public performance ended, the audience dispersed, and the trainees were called back to the stage after the venue was empty. Producer Jiang also changed back into his own clothes and restored his previous image.
When Sang Mo and his friends went on stage, they saw Jiang Juyou sitting in the middle of the front row. She was wearing glasses and holding an iPad in her hand. They felt nervous even without her looking up to say anything.
Especially Sang Mo, he felt that he was definitely going to be scolded.
Jiang Juyou was reviewing the performance just now and quickly recalled the parts on the stage that she was not satisfied with.
"Let's finish the review quickly and then go home quickly." She tucked the loose hair behind her ears, and the first sentence she said after raising her head was, "Today there is a stage... It is the performance I am most satisfied with in more than a year."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone couldn't help but cast his eyes to Group C.
In this expectation, Jiang Juyou said: "The protagonists of Group C performed better than I expected."
"The song selection, lyrics, concept, dance, and the seven members' compatibility with this song are all just right. For a moment, I even thought that it would be good for you to debut like this." As
soon as she said this, the trainees and staff on the scene all turned their eyes to her.
"But the rules are the rules, and I will not change the rules." Her words directly dispelled those people's wishes.
Jiang Juyou raised her glasses and looked at the people in Group C, "I still want to tell you that this stage today is really good. I believe the audience also felt the emotions you conveyed."
"Remember this feeling." She smiled.
She knew how much pressure the trainees were under during this period, but it was not something that she could solve by hiring a psychologist. If she got into a vicious circle of internal friction, she had to get out of it by herself. The psychologist could only be a tree hole.
She poked the iPad with a pen and scanned Group A and Group B without saying a word. Jiang Juyou glanced at her notes, which had Sang Mo's name on them. After thinking for a moment, she raised her head and looked at him, "Sang Mo."
Sang Mo, whose name was called, raised his hand and stood in the front row. His clenched fists showed how nervous and tormented he was at the moment, like a puppy that had seen its owner's slap and shrank back.
"You did a good job today." There was no scolding or blame, but she smiled and praised him.
Jiang Juyou looked down at the iPad and continued, "Except for the part where the voice broke, the rest of the performance was perfect, and the handling after the voice broke was also very mature, so it wasn't noticeable."
She looked directly into Sang Mo's eyes and saw him blink a few times and try to look away, so she said, "Sang Mo, it was just a mistake, be more confident."
He was like a tentative puppy, not sure what his emotion should be at this moment, whether he should wag his tail or not.
Jiang Juyou emphasized again, "Be more confident, you did a good job."
Only then did Sang Mo dare to relax the tension in his body, bowed and said thank you to Jiang Juyou.
She then looked away and prepared to comment on the performances of the other two groups.
