Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Theme Song
Finally, Ding Ling could only say silently: "Come back when you've had a good rest."
Lu Yao didn't say anything, but Ding Ling knew that the other party had heard him. She left quietly to deal with the mess.
When Lu Yao returned to the studio after resting, the studio had been restored to its original state.
Du Tang's team demonstrated their excellent professional qualities at this moment.
The man on the ground was nowhere to be found, the ground had been cleaned, and even air freshener had been sprayed. The door that Lu Yao had kicked in just now was also covered with a program poster to cover up the signs of damage.
Everything was normal except for the two staff members who were worried about the dagger stuck in the ground.
Lu Yao walked over.
"Get out of the way."
Hearing the sound, the staff member subconsciously looked up. The moment he saw Lu Yao clearly, he was so scared that he took several steps back. His colleague was one second slower than him, and it was too late to retreat.
Lu Yao stretched out his hand: "Clothes."
My colleague said "Huh?" in surprise and didn't react.
The staff member who stepped back suddenly had an idea and immediately took off his vest and handed it to Lu Yao with a cautious smile.
Lu Yao didn't look at them. He took the clothes, wrapped them around his hands, bent down, and grasped the dagger that was firmly stuck in the ground.
With a little effort, the dagger that had troubled the two staff members was pulled out completely.
Throwing the clothes and dagger on the ground, Lu Yao walked back to the chair on the platform and sat down. Looking down, the two staff members had already run away with the dagger and clothes, and even the gap left by the dagger on the ground had disappeared.
Now, everything is really back to normal.
Recording is paused.
All the staff were dragged away to a meeting, and for a moment only the trainees and a few people from NGU were left in the studio.
When Lu Yao was not back just now, they discussed what happened for a long time. Now that Lu Yao is back, Bai You spoke immediately.
"Was that man a pedophile?"
Feng Jing:? ?
Is this a direct question?
No detour?
Lu Yao frowned in disgust and nodded: "Yes."
"Wow."
Suddenly, exclamations were heard all around.
Qiu Yuge couldn't bear it any longer and took a step forward, as if this could get him further away from the air around the man.
"It's so scary..." Cong An patted his chest in fear and approached Lu Yao, "Luckily I have you."
He couldn't even imagine how many videos and photos of them would be secretly filmed, considering they were a group of little boys and there was a pedophile among the staff.
Feng Jing just looked at the trainees chattering around Lu Yao.
Sometimes they asked, "How did you find out?", sometimes they said, "You were so handsome just now." Excitement was written all over their faces, and their expressions of excitement were much more sincere than when they had watched their performance.
No, they just accepted it so easily?
Not surprised? Not scared? Not worried?
Are you still so natural in front of Lu Yao?
Are children nowadays so receptive?
Feng Jing turned around and looked at his teammates who were bewildered, and felt that this should be the normal reaction of a person.
Doubts, worries, fears... and explorations of Lu Yao.
Where on earth did the company find this kid? Everything that happened just now happened almost under Feng Jing's nose. From the moment Lu Yao stepped on the man's chest, Feng Jing was in a state of shock. When Lu Yao took out a dagger from behind, Feng Jing was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
After Lu Yao left, Feng Jing looked at the dagger deeply stuck in the ground and was unable to say a word.
No, who can tell him that he is still filming the fifth generation debut variety show? Not participating in some hidden camera shooting?
Or maybe he actually accidentally broke into another world?
Otherwise, how could a martial arts movie suddenly appear in front of us?
Help!
But now, when Feng Jing looked at Lu Yao again, his feeling suddenly changed.
All the previous worries disappeared. Feng Jing covered his still beating heart and felt that he should be the one to worry.
It was obvious that Wen Zishi felt the same way. He glanced at Lu Yao, then glanced at Lu Yao again. When Lu Yao was about to turn around, he instantly withdrew his gaze and bumped into Feng Jing.
The two of them smiled bitterly at the same time.
They came here to create a family atmosphere for the company, but how did it end up like this? How would they view these fifth-generation junior colleagues in the future?
The senior brothers from NGU were worried, but Ding Ling was surprisingly relaxed.
Maybe it was because the man caught by Lu Yao wailed too miserably, or because the dagger stuck in the ground was too sharp. In short, after Ding Ling took out the confidentiality agreement, all the staff in the office signed their names very straightforwardly. Some were even afraid that Ding Ling would not believe them, so they patted their chests and made their promises with great sincerity.
Ding Ling just smiled silently. After everyone had signed, she went to find Du Tang with a thick stack of contracts.
Du Tang made a promise as soon as he opened his mouth: "This matter will never be leaked."
There is a pedophile in his team. If this matter were to be leaked, it would have a significant impact on him, his team, and even Green Ocean Film and Television.
Although Lu Yao's behavior was scary, if this matter were to leak out, the ones who should be more worried would be them, not Lu Yao.
Therefore, Du Tang's guarantee was particularly sincere.
Ding Ling's ability to accept things was very good, and she responded very quickly: "I believe you."
Then, when everyone in the studio was dozing off from waiting, the recording finally began again.
As if everything was normal, everyone continued recording the clip of Lu Yao finishing his performance and returning to his seat, as if they had just heard Lu Yao's results a second ago. They were excited, expectant, and thrilled, and then applauded Qiu Yuge who was about to perform on stage.
The recording of the first stage lasted for three hours. Everyone took a break in the middle to have lunch and touch up their makeup. During this time, when the staff came out, they couldn't help but carefully avoid Lu Yao.
Seeing this scene, Feng Jing suddenly remembered the trainees' avoidance of Lu Yao in the materials he had watched.
? ?
No way?
It can't be what he thinks, right?
So they are not rejecting Lu Yao, but literally avoiding him?
Did Lu Yao do anything in the company?
Feng Jing caught a glimpse of Lu Yao sitting on a chair with his eyes lowered, then quickly looked away.
I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly feel a little scared.
He inexplicably wanted to hide.
It’s a pity that Cong An didn’t know Feng Jing’s thoughts, otherwise he would definitely come out to refute it on the spot. The materials Feng Jing looked at were all old things from eight hundred years ago, and their relationship is no longer like this now!
Is Lu Yao scary? NO!
That's because they, mortals, don't understand the realm of God!
hide?
That is the distance they should maintain from God!
Cong'an quietly became Lu Yao's favorite.
After the first stage recording was completed, everyone's ranking was announced.
To Feng Jing's surprise, Lu Yao actually won first place.
This time, their scoring criteria are entirely based on stage presentation. Whoever has a more complete stage, fewer mistakes, and better expressiveness will get a higher score.
Lu Yao, who had only been training for five months, was able to surpass a group of trainees who had been training for four or five years and took first place in the initial stage assessment... This made Feng Jing at a loss as to what to say.
Next in line are the second Bai You, the third Yin Hongxue, the fourth Qiu Yuge, the fifth Zhu Xiangming, the sixth Cang Zizhen, the seventh Wu Hai, the eighth Cong'an, the ninth Wan Yuanzhou, the tenth Qiao Sinian, the eleventh Luo Wenbai, the twelfth Wang Mingzhi, the thirteenth Wu Anyi, the fourteenth Jiang Mu, the fifteenth Huang Xi, and the sixteenth Lü Jianian.
Everyone's scores were concentrated between 98 and 93, and there were several with the same score.
I can only say that judging from the stage Feng Jing saw today, apart from Lu Yao who was outstanding and a few others in the upper circle who were quite entertaining to watch, the performances of many others were not much different.
After everyone's performance was over, Feng Jing couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Lu Yao was the first to appear, so their score was a bit conservative.
If Lu Yao had appeared later, maybe he would have gotten 100 points from everyone.
After the first stage, NGU's work for the day was also over. He said goodbye to everyone and left. Feng Jing's eyes paused slightly when he swept over Lu Yao.
Today's brief meeting made him remember this unfamiliar junior fellow student deeply.
Regardless of whether he was lively and cheerful on the stage or expressionless now, when Feng Jing saw him, he couldn't help but think of the moment when he stepped on the man's chest. It was really——
So handsome.
But... can such a special Lu Yao make his debut?
Or, does this special junior of theirs really want to make his debut?
Feng Jing greeted everyone with a smile, then turned and left with his teammates.
On Lu Yao's face, he seemed to not see Lu Yao's love for this industry.
*
After NGU left, the trainees rested for a while, put on makeup, and then moved to the next studio for the next recording.
Theme song released.
This studio is much smaller than the previous one. On one side, there are sixteen chairs neatly arranged in two rows, front and back, and on the other side is a large screen.
When the trainees walked into the room and saw the seats, they couldn't help but look at the staff sitting in the corner.
Du Tang said at the right time: "Sit wherever you want."
Everyone chose seats and sat down one after another. When Lu Yao walked in, there was only one empty seat in the middle.
He walked straight to the right corner without stopping.
"You go sit there."
He tilted his head and gestured towards the center.
Lu Jianian stood up quickly and gave up his seat.
"You sit down, you sit down."
After saying that, he took two steps at a time and ran to the C position and sat down.
Everyone was seated and the recording was about to begin, but Du Tang remained silent.
He recalled what had just happened and fell into deep doubt.
He discovered that Lu Yao might be different from what he knew before.
The relationship between the fifth-generation trainees should be somewhat different from what he imagined.
Where is the sweet and adorable Lu Yao? Where are the five generations who seem to be on good terms but are actually colleagues?
When faced with a seat you don’t want to sit in, do you put on a stern face and go find someone else to change seats?
The person whose seat was changed actually looked happy?
Really happy or fake happy?
Du Tang couldn't understand.
After recording that day, there were so many things he didn't understand.
The scene at this moment only once again confirmed his lack of understanding of Lu Yao.
Du Tang looked at Ding Ling again, trying to get a response.
Ding Ling could only smile.
Lu Yao has always been like this.
He just pretended to do it when he was recording materials at the company.
Now it seems that it is not installed anymore.
Such a small incident did not delay the recording at all. Seeing that there was no answer, Du Tang put aside his doubts and began to read out the rules.
"Congratulations to all the trainees for completing the initial stage assessment and officially starting the Fifth Epoch."
"Today, everyone received their scores and rankings based on their performances on the first stage."
"But this ranking only represents your performance on the first stage today."
"Your past and future are not here."
"So--"
As Du Tang spoke, the big screen suddenly lit up.
A coordinate axis appears on the screen, rotating.
"Lu Yao ranked first in this assessment."
Lu Yao's name appeared with a red dot, landing on the number 1 on the y-axis.
"In the past four months, a total of four quadrant assessments have been conducted."
"Combining the results of each assessment, we get a score that represents the trainees' past performance."
After saying that, Lu Yao's name began to move.
Move away from the y-axis and toward the right.
Following the positive x-axis, it stops at the number 8.
"Lu Yao, in the last quadrant assessment, achieved an overall ranking of eighth."
After saying that, Lu Yao's name flashed, and the coordinates representing Lu Yao lit up.
(8, 1)
8 represents the past and 1 represents the present.
Faced with such a novel ranking display, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at the big screen intently.
Seeing Lu Yao's name freeze, Zong An frowned subconsciously.
Only ranked eighth in the quadrant assessment? Lu Yao was clearly fourth in the fourth round!
Thinking of this, Cong An also asked aloud: "How did you get the eighth place overall?"
Du Tang was about to continue reading when he paused. He didn't expect someone to ask a question.
Normally, in this kind of session, shouldn't everyone listen quietly, with those with good grades suppressing their excitement and those with poor grades hiding their bitterness?
How could anyone still question the results?
Besides... he didn't rank these results, so what's the point of asking him?
Du Tang turned to look at Ding Ling.
Ding Ling spoke, uttering a few words very crisply: "Average."
Du Tang: ...
From An: ...
What a sloppy ranking method!
Cong An leaned back in his chair sullenly.
Average! How long has Lu Yao been public? His rankings in the first few games were not high, but he finally made it. Now they are saying that the average of the overall scores is taken?
Du Tang was speechless.
Suddenly I remembered the topic of makeshift troupes that is indispensable in the fan circle.
From this perspective, Minghui Entertainment seems to be a bit of a makeshift team.
The studio was eerily quiet for a moment, and finally Du Tang resumed his duties as a director and continued to announce the results.
"Bai You."
As he spoke, Bai You's name appeared on the y-axis number 2. "In the past quadrant assessment, he achieved an overall ranking of fifth."
After saying that, Bai You's name moved to the right and stopped at the number 5.
The coordinates representing Bai You lit up.
(5, 2)
Du Tang paused for a moment, and when he saw that no one spoke, he continued his announcement.
The third name is Yin Hongxue, and his final coordinates are (6, 3).
He missed the last concert and ranked sixteenth in the last assessment.
As the results of the trainees were announced one by one, everyone's names were finally displayed densely on the coordinate system of the big screen.
Du Tang's voice rang out: "This is your report card representing your past and present."
“Some people are very close to the origin, and some are very far away from it.”
"But the past is a foregone conclusion. Only the present, which keeps moving forward, can lead you to a future of infinite possibilities."
"The journey of transformation for a young man is only beginning now."
Following Du Tang's voice, the coordinates on the big screen began to rotate again, changing from a flat plane to a three-dimensional plane, which meant that the trainees' names were constantly moving towards the origin of the coordinates, and finally condensed into a point, flashing at the origin.
“Draw nourishment from the past and move towards the future.”
The flashing light stopped, then suddenly climbed upwards, pulling out a long line.
"This is your Fifth Epoch."
The new coordinate system continued to rotate and finally turned into a familiar pattern.
——Program icons can be seen everywhere in the studio.
For a moment, everyone didn't know what expression to make.
The announcement of such a ranking should be a very serious matter.
Looking back on the past, gazing at the present and looking forward to the future, they should be motivated and inspired, and then be full of energy to face the next challenges in a high-spirited state.
But...but!
Who can understand the feeling of seeing a spatial rectangular coordinate system at a time like this?
Cong An's expression was stiff.
He had even just finished studying space vectors and had just gotten out of the torment of the spatial rectangular coordinate system.
Why do we meet again now?
Even if this coordinate system is drawn very abstractly and looks good, it cannot change the fact that it is a coordinate system!!!
What? Is it that the company sees that their grades are so poor that they decide to let them learn from these places in order to improve their academic performance?
Everyone understands Cong An's pain, but Du Tang doesn't care.
After the trainees' reactions of applause, surprise, cheers, etc., Du Tang continued to move forward with the process.
"Based on the ranking of the first stage, the trainees ranked one to five will automatically be eligible to perform the theme song's highlight segment."
Everyone had to move their thoughts out of the previous coordinate system and start facing new content.
"What's the meaning?"
"What's the highlight segment?"
Du Tang explained: "The theme song has a highlight segment in each of the vocal, dance, and rap parts. In addition, there is a solo segment of the bridge and the most outstanding killing part segment. These five trainees will have the most singing parts and the most shots in these segments."
After this explanation, everyone understood immediately.
There are only a few lines in a song, and only so many shots. But there are sixteen of them, so how should they divide it up? Should each person sing a line?
The program team selected the most outstanding parts and gave them all to the top five trainees, while the others could only have one or two sentences, or even just the harmony.
Once they understood the situation, the expressions of those who didn't make it into the top five changed.
Just because I rank so low, does that mean I'm not even qualified to perform?
"But this isn't the final result." Du Tang continued, "Tomorrow there will be a re-evaluation of the theme song. If you receive a higher score in the re-evaluation, you will replace the top five and become the new performer of the highlight segment."
Everyone's expression changed again.
It changes back and forth, as if competing to see whose expression is richer.
But everyone understood what Du Tang said, which means that everyone has the possibility of performing a high-energy segment, and it all depends on who can perform better in tomorrow's assessment.
Bai You instantly recalled the talent shows he had watched.
What a familiar competition format.
Isn’t this just about competing for the initial C?
It's just that they have five Cs.
And this five...will the number of people who will debut in the end also be five?
Now that the rules have been introduced, it’s time to announce the theme song.
Music started playing on the big screen.
The Fifth Memorial Album
The very lively melody, with rolling lyrics, caught everyone's attention.
"A backpack full of stars
My footsteps are flying to the beat of the drums
The distant place not marked on the map
It’s waiting for us to explore.”
The singer of the DEMO sang in a very excited tone. The high pitch made several people frown and put on masks of pain. The continuously rising pitch of the chorus made Zhu Xiangming, the lead singer, open his eyes in surprise.
“So high?”
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with everyone.
Learning this song in one day is like risking their lives to sing it.
But the song was just the beginning. After the song was over, a dance performance began to play on the big screen.
Sixteen dancers began to move to the lively music.
After listening to the song just now, everyone has a preliminary understanding of the style of this song.
The music style is bright and the lyrics mainly describe youth and adventure, which is very consistent with their age and style, and is also very suitable for their show.
The dance also follows the theme of the music and is designed with simple and brisk movements. The dance of sixteen people does not need to be too complicated, as long as it is neat, it is very entertaining.
But the trainees still looked troubled by the segments revealed in the video.
According to what Du Tang said before, this song mainly has five highlight clips, which will be performed by the top five in the assessment. When everyone first heard it, they were a little sad, but not too sad. After all, it's just a song. Although there are many of them, they should all be able to get one or two sentences.
But now when I look at the video, wow, it's not just one or two sentences, except for the chorus, there is almost nothing.
As for the highlight clips of those five people, almost all the parts except the chorus were sung by them.
Coupled with the deliberately designed C-position movements, watching the whole dance, except for those five people, the others are almost just backup dancers.
How can this make anyone feel good?
"Well, let's start learning the theme song now."
The recording came to an end again, and everyone moved to the practice room to start class.
Learning the two parts of vocal music and dance is not difficult. The difficult part is how to get a good ranking in tomorrow's assessment within one day and get the opportunity to perform in the highlight segment.
When we thought about the fact that apart from the highlight clips, the rest were just dance scenes, everyone was motivated and just wanted to learn faster and dance better.
Each one is more focused and concentrated than the other.
Lu Yao attended the class quietly for half an hour, and seeing that the vocal class showed no sign of ending, he quietly left the practice room.
Ding Ling saw it from the monitoring room and quickly chased out.
She felt she had to talk to Lu Yao.
