Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Preparation for the acquisition
Lu Yao is going skydiving!
In an instant, everyone became agitated.
Skydiving, this extremely attractive activity, is even more terrifying than its appeal.
People yearn for heights, but are also afraid of them.
Just the thought of jumping from a height of several thousand meters without any support is enough to make your adrenaline rush.
Everyone present wanted to go up and get a skydiving mission card, but as soon as this thought came out, it was immediately refuted by the brain.
Fear of heights, unnecessary, dangerous, scary...
They were hesitant, but Lu Yao took the first step without hesitation.
Sun Yutong looked at Lu Yao in surprise: "You want to skydive?"
Lu Yao: "Yes, is there any problem?"
Sun Yutong: "No problem, of course no problem, haha."
When choosing the recording location for the group variety show, Sun Yutong felt that this island was very suitable. It has a beautiful environment, complete facilities, and perfect security. It can not only ensure the shooting effect, but also avoid being followed by illegitimate children.
As for the skydiving project, Sun Yutong saw it at a glance.
Looking back at all the major boy groups in the past, which one didn’t go bungee jumping when recording a group variety show?
And whenever this clip appears, it always triggers a lot of discussion.
Why do fans like to watch bungee jumping?
Sun Yutong has analyzed that, firstly, activities like bungee jumping naturally attract attention.
Secondly, when facing such projects, the members of the boy band have enough room for analysis, whether they are afraid or face it calmly.
If someone is afraid and jumps, it means that the member has overcome his fear and defeated himself, which is great!
If you were afraid and didn't jump, it means you accepted your shortcomings and didn't do anything dangerous. That's great!
If you are not afraid of jumping, then he has a strong heart and is super handsome. How can you not love him?
As for not being afraid + not jumping, there is no such combination.
Thirdly, it is human nature to watch the fun. Who wouldn’t like to see the idols who usually look handsome and exquisite in front of the camera trembling with fear on the bungee jumping platform?
And isn’t skydiving much more powerful than bungee jumping?
Sun Yutong has even thought of an editing plan.
The fear and hesitation in the early stages, and the sharp contrast with the subsequent leap from a high altitude, coupled with the music that suddenly quiets down after the strong impact, create an atmosphere in which the trainees have gone through hardships and ultimately surpassed themselves. Coupled with the flashbacks of the past three days on the island, it is not only the ending of this group variety show, but also foreshadows the end of the past four years of training career.
The young men broke through the sky and flew to the next sky.
Subtitles scroll on the screen, thanking the young people for their four years of hard work and dedication. A new journey is about to begin, and the young people will still keep their childlike hearts and move forward with passion.
The debut battle begins.
It's full of sensationalism, okay?
Who can not cry?
Sun Yutong even cried because of her own imagination.
It’s a pity that ideals are full, but reality is skinny.
No matter how good her idea was, she couldn't ask the trainees to choose skydiving and perform the performance she imagined on the plane.
All of this is uncontrollable.
She had imagined many possibilities, who would be the first to choose skydiving, and who would choose skydiving, but she had never thought of Lu Yao.
But now that he came out and stood in front of her, she suddenly realized that Lu Yao's choice was so reasonable and was exactly what he would do.
After Lu Yao finished his selection, he returned to his original position and stood still. With the first person in place, the following selections were made much faster.
After a series of commotion and tug-of-war, those who finally chose to skydive were Lu Yao, Bai You, Qiu Yuge, Luo Wenbai, Wu Anyi, and Huang Xi. Those who did not choose bungee jumping, the rest chose to hang glide.
After seeing the final list, Sun Yutong was somewhat surprised but not so surprised.
How should I put it? Some of them are indeed afraid of heights, so it would be too difficult for them to go skydiving. However, the stimulation of gliding is much weaker, and everyone is more accepting of it. As for bungee jumping, if you dare to do it, why not just go up and go skydiving in one step?
The trainees split into two groups and got into two cars, one heading up the mountain and the other heading to the other side of the island.
The skydiving base was not far away and we arrived there soon. There were several planes parked on a large flat ground.
The people who decided to skydive listened to the staff's introduction, learned about skydiving-related knowledge, and signed the agreement. They were visibly nervous about every step.
When watching the safety video, I couldn't help but scream softly. When learning about skydiving, I asked about the details over and over again, for fear that I would forget something after being in the air and put my life in danger. When signing the agreement at the end, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even write steadily.
Qiu Yuge smiled at the camera while holding a pen: "I'm a little scared."
Although he was smiling, he looked pitiful.
After laughing, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and signed his name on the agreement.
Lu Yao and Bai You had already signed. At this moment, Bai You was pulling the coach aside to ask questions, while Lu Yao stood by and watched the promotional video on TV attentively.
Luo Wenbo was also afraid, but he would not express his fear directly in front of the camera like Qiu Yuge did. He turned the pen handsomely to relieve his nervousness, and then signed his name on the paper in a cool manner, but the tip of the pen trembled slightly at the last moment.
Wu Anyi's eyes were bright and he looked very excited. Unlike his well-behaved appearance, he was always willing to try all kinds of new things. Although he was also afraid, anticipation prevailed.
The smile on Huang Xi's face was visibly stiff. He was scared, extremely scared, but he wanted to jump, very much.
If there are challenges in life that must be accomplished, skydiving should be on the list.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Xi signed his name.
After everyone signed, they put on their equipment under the guidance of the coach and then began training.
After a series of preparations, it was finally time to board the plane.
However, there was a small episode in the middle. When choosing a skydiving coach, Lu Yao signaled Li Qiang to move the camera away, and then gave a lucky bag to the coach who was skydiving with him.
"Amulet." Lu Yao smiled and put the amulet into the coach's hand without questioning.
Consumers have their own little habits, and the coach certainly won't refuse. Although he didn't expect that the young man in front of him who looked fearless at all could be so superstitious, he still smiled and stuffed the amulet into his arms.
Then he tied himself and Lu Yao together and boarded the plane.
The roar of the plane was very loud, and as the altitude continued to rise, the reality of the parachute jump began to set in. Qiu Yuge began to tremble uncontrollably, and he couldn't help laughing.
Li Qiang aimed the camera and began to ask questions: "Are you nervous?"
Qiu Yuge's smile froze. He nodded, his voice trembling, "Nervous."
The coach behind him could clearly feel his nervousness, his body was stiff and his limbs were shaking.
He lowered his voice and comforted: "It's okay, relax, skydiving is safe."
Qiu Yuge's smile became even more bitter.
During the training just now, the instructor said that although skydiving looks a bit scary, it is very safe. The possibility of an accident is less than one in a hundred thousand, so it can be said to be a very safe activity.
But such explanation cannot alleviate the fear of being about to jump down from a thousand meters above the ground.
Knowing is one thing, but overcoming your biological instincts is another.
Sun Yutong glanced outside through the window, then quickly looked away.
I've taken a lot of flights before, but why did it feel so scary today?
Bai You now looked a little nervous. He touched here and there, and it was obvious that his mind was wandering.
It was hard to tell whether Lu Yao was nervous or not. He closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, but Sun Yutong was not sure.
Because I have never seen Lu Yao in such a state before.
She looked at Lu Yao again, and then looked at the rest of the people.
Luo Wenbo, Wu Anyi and Huang Xi were pulling Qiu Yuge to cheer each other up, saying things like "come on" and "don't be afraid", but it was obviously not very useful.
After a while, the plane reached the designated altitude and the parachute jump began.
Sun Yutong: "Who of you will go first?"
As soon as Sun Yutong finished speaking, the cabin suddenly became restless.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.
Lu Yao opened his eyes.
"I'll go first."
He raised his hand and the camera panned over.
In the camera, Lu Yao's hair was tied into a braid, hanging down from his ears, his earrings and forehead ornaments were removed, and his plain face had his usual smile, making him look even more obedient.
Li Qiang couldn't help but look at Sun Yutong, and Sun Yutong looked at Lu Yao.
It's so peaceful, it doesn't fit what they want to shoot.
But there's nothing wrong with it.
Following the coach's signal, the two moved outside the cabin door. Under the gaze of Bai You and others, and the filming of the camera, the coach fell out and instantly fell into the air with Lu Yao.
The sky is boundless, and looking down you can see floating white clouds and pieces of land. The coach and Lu Yao flipping in the air really seem to have grown invisible wings and are flying in the sky.
Everyone was amazed.
Huang Xi murmured, "How amazing."
Even with the first person setting the example, the people behind him were still not in good condition. After Lu Yao landed, they waited for more than half an hour before they saw Huang Xi land.
…
Not too surprising.
After waiting for another two hours, the skydiving of the six people was finally over, and the group got on the car back to the hotel.
The recording of the group variety show has ended here.
After having a meal that was either lunch or afternoon tea, the trainees and staff boarded a plane back to Beijing.
Concerts and group variety shows, along with the roar of planes, all remained in this city forever. At this moment, the trainees realized that when they were on the island, they seemed to have really felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.
At this moment, I was holding a plane ticket with Beijing as my destination, and I was clearly still on my way there, but a feeling of repressed emotion had already spread involuntarily, telling of an ominous omen.
After getting off the plane, without any delay, everyone got on the car to the company and went to Practice Room 2 again. Ding Ling was already waiting there.
"Good evening, trainees."
Everyone was still wearing the clothes they wore for the morning recording and their makeup was still on, but their mood was completely different from that morning.
"After three months, the assessment of the four quadrants has been successfully completed."
"From the first quadrant of me, to the second quadrant of dreams, to the third quadrant of emerging from the cocoon, the trainees progressed layer by layer, showing different sides of themselves to the audience. Until the fourth quadrant, you returned to the original proposition and went on to find yourself."
"Now, the voting results of the Fourth Quadrant are in my hands."
Ding Ling stopped and the practice room became quiet.
The cameramen zoomed in and pointed their cameras at everyone.
Qiu Yuge sat upright with his eyes downcast, without any expression, as if he didn't care at all about what Ding Ling was going to say.
Zhu Xiangming had a faint smile on his face, but it didn't look happy. Instead, it made people feel a little sad.
Cang Zizhen frowned slightly and looked at Ding Ling.
Wu Hai pursed his lips, feeling a little nervous.
Wanyuanzhou was affected by this atmosphere, and his expression was visibly heavy.
Bai You also looked at Ding Ling, his lips tightly pursed, waiting for the results to be announced.
Lu Yao didn't smile this time. He lowered his eyes expressionlessly, making it impossible to judge his emotions at the moment.
Wang Mingzhi's eyes were shaking and he was uneasy.
Qiao Sinian pursed his lips, not showing any nervousness, and looked serious.
Luo Wenbo was also laughing, but his laugh was very relaxed, as if he didn't care at all about the outcome.
From An's expressionless face, it can be seen that he is in a bad mood.
As for Wu Anyi and Jiang Mu, it would be more accurate to say that they were numb rather than expressionless.
As for Huang Xi and Lu Jianian, they never worried about the ranking results.
Ding Ling's voice rang out again.
"First place, Qiu Yuge."
Without a doubt.
"Second place, Zhu Xiangming."
Not surprising.
"Third place, Cang Zizhen."
As expected.
"Fourth place." Ding Ling paused for a moment, "Lu Yao."
?
!
What!
Everyone turned to look at Lu Yao who was sitting in the corner in disbelief. Cong An didn't control his strength well and almost bumped into Lu Yao. He was so scared that he quickly sat up straight.
Everyone knew that Lu Yao's ranking would rise, but no one thought that Lu Yao's ranking would rise to fourth.
This is the fourth one!
Even if there was no Yin Hongxue, even if Lu Yao's performance was very popular, this was still the fourth place!
Without giving everyone time to relax, Ding Ling's voice continued to ring out.
"Fifth place, Wu Hai."
Wuhai's ranking has increased significantly compared to before.
But with Lu Yao's example, the rise in Wu Hai's ranking did not attract any attention at this moment.
"Sixth place, Bai You."
Bai You's ranking has risen a little compared to last time, but it has still dropped one place compared to the original.
"Seventh place, Wanyuan State."
The rankings after that are not much different from the previous ones.
After the rankings were recorded, there was no introduction to the rules for the next performance, but today's recording is still not over.
To have a beginning and an end, they still have one last personal interview to record.
Still sorted by age, Qiao Sinian was the first to enter the procurement room.
The others had their phones back after a long absence and were now sitting in Practice Room 2, scrolling through their phones with expressionless faces.
Lu Yao was still sitting in the corner, with the screen of his mobile phone turned off and he had never turned it on.
Same venue, similar scene.
Three months ago in the afternoon, he was sitting here again, watching the people in the practice room leave one by one to be interviewed.
Now, he still sits here, watching the number of people in the practice room decrease.
It's amazing.
But in just three months, the atmosphere has changed dramatically.
What caused this change?
Is it during these three months?
Lu Yao couldn't understand.
Two hours later, it was Lu Yao's turn to be interviewed and he walked into the preparation room.
Same scene, same crew.
As soon as the staff saw Lu Yao coming in, they perked up.
The interview three months ago is still vivid in my mind. Lu Yao dared to say anything at that time. After three months of practice, will he still dare to say anything?
She cleared her throat and spoke.
"The first phase of the debut project is over. What are your thoughts?"
A warm-up question.
Lu Yao: “No.”
A meaningless answer.
The staff member exhaled and spoke.
"Do you think you can form a group?"
She stared at Lu Yao intently, expecting an answer that she didn't even know what she was expecting.
Because she knew that Lu Yao's answer had only two answers -
Yes and no.
There is no in-between value.
Lu Yao: “Yes.”
really!
The staff member took a deep breath and realized that he had held his breath without knowing when.
She then asked, “Why?”
This time Lu Yao was silent for a while before giving an answer.
“I want to form a group.”
Staff: ...
Weak.
This answer is too weak.
She was a little disappointed.
She flipped through her notebook, selecting new questions.
"You said before that you wouldn't fit in with the Fifth Generation, but have you fit in with them now?"
Lu Yao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I integrate with them or not. What matters is whether they think I integrate with them or not."
“So you should ask them this question.”
Staff: ...
If the interview wasn't going on, she would have really wanted to sigh.
Alas, in just three months, Lu Yao learned Tai Chi and became this hypocritical person.
Although she had no hope, she couldn't help but ask again, "What if I just want to hear your thoughts?"
The smile on Lu Yao's lips disappeared.
He asked back, “Are you sure you want to ask me this question?”
As soon as the words fell, the staff member couldn't help but shudder.
It was hard to describe what this feeling was. She actually felt a sense of oppression from the fourteen-year-old child in front of her, which made her urgently want to retract her previous question.
Although she knew that if she kept asking, she would definitely hear the answer she wanted to hear.
But under Lu Yao's gaze, an inexplicable fear made her slowly shake her head.
"No." She heard her own voice: "Don't ask."
The smile on Lu Yao's lips rose again.
After the interview, when she left the preparation room, the staff discovered that she had broken out in a cold sweat despite the central air conditioning at 26 degrees Celsius.

On Friday, the official photography and practice routine for the fourth quadrant assessment went online on time.
Fans immediately opened the video and watched it happily while having dinner.
Fans also started discussions immediately on platforms such as Weibo and forums.

Why do they have to write it themselves when it's so painful? I see that every team has a hard time writing it.

I'm really impressed by this Bai. He's always like this when he's captain. He thinks he has a little power and bullies others wantonly. This time, Cong An wrote so many lyrics, but why are they not up to standard and have to be sent back for rewrites? I think he just enjoys the pleasure of bullying others!

Lu Yao's group's stage performance was really strong. Everyone performed well. This song is also very nice. I never thought it was written within a month.
[126th Floor]
Lu Yao has improved again. Comparing this stage performance with the first, one can clearly see the difference in Lu Yao.
Although everyone said that Lu Yao performed well when he first appeared, and I also thought he performed well at the time, but after watching the current version and then comparing it with the previous one, it is really scary. I can actually see that Lu Yao had a lot of problems back then.
For example, when he's off camera, he barely manages his facial expressions. When he's on camera, his ability to capture the moment isn't good enough. When he's singing, his facial expressions are a bit lax, and when he's dancing, he's not spontaneous enough...
Now, even when the camera isn't on him, he's always on point. His performance is perfectly on point when he's singing and dancing, and even more so when he's in close-up. Every time, I wonder how he manages to create those expressions, how he's so captivating! I can't help but take screenshots. I originally wanted to take pictures of someone else, but when he showed up, I couldn't help but keep taking pictures of him. I took thousands of pictures, and not a single one looked bad...
In just three months, he's made so much progress. Is he still human?
