Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Never Changed
The fifth generation's fans had just been scolded and forced to lie down and accept the ridicule the day before because of the sports meeting. The next day, Minghui Entertainment struck while the iron was hot and officially announced a family concert, just one week after the sports meeting. In addition to the third, fourth and fifth generations, the second generation also came to the concert. This time, the fifth generation received less scolding.
When there are too many targets to attack, the attacks are involuntarily dispersed.
In short, after two months of silence, the fifth-generation fan circle, whether good or bad, can be said to be lively.
Although this "liveliness" was somewhat involuntary.
But at this critical juncture, with the atmosphere so lively, fans are also suffering. It is clearly the final week, but there are news one after another. If they don't go online for a while, all they see when they go back online is incomprehensible battles. Who understands the pain of wanting to join the battle but not being able to?
But while the fans are busy, the fifth-generation trainees are not idle either.
It's final week for the fans, and the trainees are no less miserable, if not more miserable.
After all, they were in seclusion for a month to record the program, so it is hard to say whether they studied during this month besides recording.
Although I took the book to the recording location and was confident that I would study after get off work before leaving, who would have the energy to read after a day of practice?
With such pain, the trainees were forced to plunge into the ocean of remedial classes as soon as they returned to Beijing, determined to make up for the missed lessons. They did not ask for good grades, but only hoped that the results would not be too embarrassing.
The only one who had a relatively relaxed life was Lu Yao.
After all, Lu Yao was a person who really read and studied in the dormitory after get off work every day.
This learning habit has been well maintained no matter when and where, and has brought Lu Yao sweet fruits at this moment.
Although Li Qiang felt that Lu Yao would be able to get good grades in the exam even if he didn't study, after all, as a life assistant living under the same roof, he knew Lu Yao's learning efficiency best.
He deeply doubted that Lu Yao's learning was at the level of being able to understand something after just one look.
The knowledge in the book is completely child's play for him, right?
He thought so in his heart, but Li Qiang would not go up to ask. He just left a routine instruction of "rest early" and watched Lu Yao go upstairs silently without looking back. It was obvious that the other party still did not intend to listen, so he would ask this question again tomorrow -
Speak! Of course you have to speak!
Whether Lu Yao does it or not is one thing, whether he says it or not is another. He has to have the attitude.
After a week of intense study, the trainees walked into the examination room with trepidation in their hearts, while Lu Yao walked into the examination room with a calm face to take the final exam.
On the night after the exam, everyone gathered at the company and started recording the sports meet group materials.
Life is so busy.
When Cong An saw the same tired faces in the cafeteria, he felt that he might only live until the day the results were announced.
"So you didn't do well in the exam again this time?" Luo Wenbo knew what happened as soon as he saw Cong An's face.
Cong An said sternly, "What do you mean you didn't do well in the exam again?"
Luo Wenbo slapped his head and said, "Oh! I forgot, that was just your normal performance."
"What are you talking about?" Cong An opened his eyes wide in disbelief. "Are my grades really that bad in your eyes?"
Luo Wenbo spread his hands and said, "You were the one who said your grades were bad, I didn't say anything."
Cong An: “…”
Cong An sat down painfully.
Oh my God, why do we have exams in this world?
He looked around blankly, and the moment he saw Bai You, his eyes lit up. He left Luo Wenbo with the plate and ran to Bai You.
"How did you do in the exam?" He sat down next to Bai You, leaned forward and asked directly, blinking his eyes, his face full of anticipation.
Bai You showed no sign of embarrassment when asked about his grades. He calmly took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth before answering slowly, "It should be pretty good."
Cong An: “???”
Bai You actually did well on the test? What happened? Hadn't he and I always been in the same boat? Did Bai You suddenly get it this time?
Cong An was filled with despair. What could be more difficult to accept than his friend suddenly making progress?
Everyone understands Cong An's pain, but the others don't have the heart to ask around for their scores. All they can say is that the moment they leave the exam room, they completely forget about their grades. As for how they perform, they leave it to fate.
It cannot be forced.
Rather than focusing on strength, everyone was silently looking forward to metaphysics.
This anticipation reached its peak after I walked into the practice room and saw Lu Yao sitting inside.
Cong An immediately rushed to Lu Yao and bowed deeply: "God of Learning, please bless this student to pass the exam!"
His sincere attitude moved everyone present.
Lu Yao: "Praying like this won't do any good."
——Except Lu Yao.
Zhu Xiangming immediately retracted his foot.
Lu Yao: "You should come to me to review the key points before the exam."
Zhu Xiangming immediately took another step forward.
The next second, a group of people gathered in front of Lu Yao.
Facing so many fiery gazes, Lu Yao silently stepped back and distanced himself: "It's too late now, let's talk about it next time."
Next time... next time...
Cong An fell to the ground in pain, holding his heart. Are there any words in the world more cruel than this?
There is clearly a genius student around him, so why didn’t he think of asking for advice?
Qiao Sinian, Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou, who did not join in the prayer, did not understand the pain of the crowd at all and only found it funny.
Fortunately, they went to college.
Although college final exams are just as painful, they are still much better than high school ones.
The arrival of Ding Ling and Sun Yutong broke the atmosphere of regret. The staff quickly took their positions, and the trainees put on their microphones, adjusted their states and started recording.
Ding Ling looked around at the familiar practice room, recording in the long-lost venue, and then saw Lu Yao sitting obediently in the corner with a smile on his face. She missed him very much.
It’s so nice, this familiar room, the lively atmosphere, everything is so reassuring.
She doesn't have to worry about a staff member whose background she doesn't know suddenly appearing out of nowhere, nor does she have to worry about Lu Yao suddenly leaving with a cold face, and she doesn't have to endure Lu Yao's coldness... Can she really have such happiness?
Ding Ling sighed deeply and couldn't help feeling sad.
Do they have to record a debut variety show? Do they have to go to that rubbish recording studio and record some ridiculous debut documentary in front of hundreds of people?
Or, taking a step back, does this debut documentary have to be a documentary? Can't they just act it out within the company?
Ding Ling felt regretful and sighed. Ding Ling looked up at Lu Yao and understood what it meant to forget the pain once the wound healed.
The pain she experienced at the film and television base could no longer be recalled. Now, all that filled Ding Ling's mind was a faint sense of peace.
Ignoring everything that can be ignored, it is really hard not to like Lu Yao's performance in front of the camera now, isn't it?
Who wouldn’t want to take home a child who is sitting there obediently and smiling?
After sighing, Ding Ling started working.
Sun Yutong took the prepared sign box and announced the rules.
"There are a total of twenty-eight people participating in this sports meet, and they will be divided into four groups to compete."
"So you will also be divided into four groups."
It’s a very simple rule. After Sun Yutong finished explaining it, everyone nodded in understanding.
Cong An raised his hand quickly: "Will Lu Yao also be assigned to a group? Wouldn't that be very unfair?"
After Cong An finished speaking, everyone reacted.
That physical freak Lu Yao? Joining a separate team? How can that be possible!
"Yeah, if Lu Yao plays, wouldn't he definitely win?"
"Can we compare to Lu Yao?"
Qiu Yuge was so excited that he kept waving his hands: "We can't divide it that way, we can't divide it that way! Lu Yao can't join a certain team, it's not fair."
Cong An stood up, stretched out his fingers and began to count: "Lu Yao runs fast and has great strength, he can hit every three-pointer in basketball, and he can kick from one half of the court to the other in soccer. He can also easily fight 1v4. What can we compare with?"
Each one is the result of blood and tears.
How could someone be so good at studying and also so good at sports? Could this be a martial artist?
The more Cong An spoke, the sadder he became, and he shed a handful of bitter tears.
"Unless Lu Yao is in the same group with me." Then he couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Hey—" Cang Zizhen stood up suddenly and pointed at Cong An with a look of disbelief: "What are you talking about? How is it possible that Lu Yao is in the same group with you? On what basis?"
Cong Anli was not very righteous but still said: "I am young! Do you understand how to respect the old and love the young?"
Qiu Yuge got excited when he talked about this. He joined the battle: "I'm the youngest! Lu Yao should be on my team!"
Qiao Sinian couldn't sit still any longer: "I am the oldest, I respect the elders, I respect the elders."
Yin Hongxue looked at the chaos and said silently: "Lu Yao is the youngest, right?"
What are two sixteen-year-olds fighting about in front of a fourteen-year-old?
Oh, no, Cong'an has already had his birthday. He is seventeen years old.
Now only Qiu Yuge is still sixteen years old.
Cong An and Qiu Yuge's expressions froze, but embarrassment could not stop them from wanting to compete for Lu Yao's heart. In the face of victory, face was worthless.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiangming righteously separated Qiu Yuge and Cong'an, who were huddled together to restrain each other. He stood in front of them, pointing at the lottery bucket in front of everyone, and said angrily, "We agreed to draw lots, but where are the rules? How can you guys be so noisy and quarrelsome? How can you argue about probability problems like this?"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the lottery barrel under Sun Yutong's approving gaze, and directly took out a ball from it.
green.
The next second after seeing the color clearly, Zhu Xiangming hugged the lottery tube, reached in and kept taking out the balls, one after another. After taking out four red and yellow balls in succession, he took out a green one, then suddenly turned around and stretched his hand in front of Lu Yao.
"Lu Yao! I pulled your ball out for you!"
Qiu Yuge: “…”
Cong An: “???”
There was really no way for others to sit idly by and watch such blatant cheating. After some "friendly" "communication", Zhu Xiangming put all the balls back into the lottery box with a "happy" look on his face, and was forced back to his seat by the crowd.
Before sitting down, he reluctantly extended his hand to Lu Yao: "You must be on the same team with me."
In the camera, Lu Yao couldn't help laughing, his eyes were curved and his cheeks were round.
What a noisy, lively and warm scene.
After everyone sat back in their seats and calmed down, Ding Ling stood up and spoke in response to everyone's strong desire to be on the same team with Lu Yao.
Her considerations were completely different from those of the trainees.
Looking at Lu Yao, Ding Ling's eyes showed worry: "Can you participate in the sports meeting?"
Sports meets are completely different from concerts and program recordings.
There were many audience members at the concert, but each person only had a few minutes on stage, which was within Lu Yao's acceptable range.
The program was recorded without an audience, but with staff filming 24 hours a day, which was beyond Lu Yao's acceptance.
At the sports meet, there are many spectators, and the trainees will be on the field the whole time, under the audience's gaze, and the event will last for five to six hours.
Is this within Lu Yao's acceptable range?
Everyone stopped secretly scrambling for Lu Yao and turned to look at him.
Yes, after talking for so long, I forgot the most important thing.
Lu Yao put away his smile and shook his head: "I don't know."
Ding Ling sighed.
Although it is not clear what will happen in the end, the teams still need to be divided. The specific situation will be analyzed in detail during the sports meeting.
If you can participate, then participate. If you can't, then Lu Yao can also show up and then come down.
After drawing lots again, everyone calmed down and completed the group recording safely.
Then the next day, everyone gathered in the gymnasium where the sports meet was to be held, rehearsed the meet with the third and fourth generations, and recorded a pilot video.
Saturday was the day when the much-anticipated family sports meeting began.
Early in the morning, the trainees rushed to the backstage of the venue to put on makeup. Today, everyone's clothes were sportswear sponsored by a sports brand. Each person had two sets, one set was a sports short-sleeved shirt with a jacket and a pair of sports trousers, and the other set was a basketball uniform.
The design is very nice. It is divided into four main colors of red, yellow, blue and green according to the trainees' teams, and the trainees' names are also printed on it.
There were a lot of people in the dressing room, including trainees and a group of staff. Everyone was busy and had no time to rest.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door. The third generation brothers, led by Ding Ling, entered the fifth generation's rest room. The next moment, the group of people who were sitting and putting on makeup or playing noisily stood up, stood respectfully in front of the third generation, and greeted them stiffly.
"Don't be nervous, relax." Feng Jing, who was only 28 years old, smiled very kindly, and his expression revealed a kindness that was inconsistent with his age. He patted everyone's shoulder and touched their heads. When he walked in front of Lu Yao, his hand paused slightly.
Then he put it back naturally and put on a smile.
Lu Yao responded with a smile.
Feng Jing: ...
He laughed so hard that he suddenly felt weak inside.
I immediately thought of the day of my first stage performance.
After seeing each other again after more than a month, Feng Jing thought that he had almost forgotten what happened at that time, but when he saw Lu Yao again now, he found that the scenes were almost vivid and clear.
This junior brother is so impressive.
After saying hello and leaving the Fifth Generation Lounge, Feng Jing's mind was still lingering with Lu Yao's smiling face.
He nudged Su Luo: "Are you in the same team with Lu Yao?"
Su Luo nodded.
Feng Jing: "How is he?"
Su Luo forced a smile: "Same as today."
It's too intimate, and I find it hard to accept.
The third generation brothers were still adapting, while the fifth generation brothers had already adapted well. After Feng Jing and others left, the lounge welcomed the fourth generation brothers, and the same process was repeated. Although the sports meeting had not yet started, everyone was already busy. In the frontcourt, the audience had already started checking tickets for entry.
Song Rui waited at the ticket gate for a long time and finally saw Shen Sisi.
This time, the two of them were very lucky. Even though there were three, four or five generations trying to get tickets at the same time, they actually managed to get tickets and were able to watch the sports meet in person.
Although Minghui Entertainment’s family activities are all live broadcasts, watching them online and offline are two different feelings after all. It is definitely best to be there in person.
After meeting outside the ticket gate, the two did not rush to line up to enter. Before coming, they had made an appointment in advance to take a video together after arriving.
Now the Fifth Era has aired two episodes, and the third episode will be online the day after the sports meeting ends. In the second episode aired last week, the Fifth Era released its theme song, and the clip of the trainees' theme song re-test caused widespread discussion on the Internet.
——Of course, this discussion is other than Lu Yao’s.
Although the discussion about the theme song is more focused on Lu Yao.
But unlike those black trending searches that were cut off, the discussion about the theme song was unusually positive.
When the trainees listened to the theme song DEMO, the audience also heard it. There were many comments saying that the theme song was not good. Song Rui felt the same way when she watched the show.
But after the theme song assessment, this song suddenly sounded good.
Or maybe it's not that the song has become better, but the person performing the song has given it new vitality.
And this person is Lu Yao.
As soon as the show ended, someone captured a demo clip of the theme song, combined it with a clip of Lu Yao taking the test, and posted it online.
After comparing the before and after, the audience was surprised that changing one person could bring such a big change to a song.
If the DEMO is just an ordinary youth song, then the version performed by Lu Yao is the spring of youth. As soon as he stands there and opens his voice, people recall their own youthful years.
The number of views of the theme song MV has also continued to increase.
But the one with the best data has to be Lu Yao's killing part. Just as the name of this clip says, it has completely become the killing part of the song, and has set off a dance cover craze on the Internet.
Shen Sisi and Song Rui had agreed to dance this part together outside the venue.
Lu Yao is receiving such rare positive attention, how could Shen Sisi not participate?
In order to shoot this video, the two spent several days learning this dance. Although they have not practiced together yet, they are very confident.
Song Rui: "I've already danced very well, let's go through it in one go."
Shen Sisi was not to be outdone: "I can recite it by heart, and I can recite it at double, triple, or even quadruple speed without any problem!"
But having said that, after setting up their phones, getting into position, playing the music and officially starting the recording, the two discovered that things seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
How embarrassing it is.
They danced over and over again several times, sweating in the middle of winter, but neither of them was satisfied with the version.
Song Rui didn't understand: "What's going on? Is this part so difficult?"
That shouldn't be the case. She was clearly dancing very well when she was learning at home.
Shen Sisi was also puzzled: "Why did I suddenly forget the action?"
The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
The ideal is great, but the reality seems a little bit disappointing.
"Hello." Suddenly, a sweet girl's voice rang beside them. They turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a down jacket standing not far away. Seeing Song Rui and the others turned around, the beautiful woman and her friends came over. The beautiful woman pointed to the phone in front of her and asked, "Are you shooting the theme song?"
Song Rui nodded.
"You don't seem to remember the movements very well, how about I lead you from the front?" the beauty said.
Wow, Song Rui's eyes lit up. Beautiful women are not only beautiful in appearance, but also beautiful in heart. When she saw them encountering difficulties, she took the initiative to help.
"Really? Thank you!" Song Rui was about to agree, but suddenly remembered something: "Why don't we record it together? The four of us can dance together." She looked at the beauty on the left, then at her beautiful friend, asking for her opinion.
Upon hearing this, Shen Sisi immediately nodded. It would be even better if more people could dance!
Upon hearing this, the beauty agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, okay!"
They did it right away. The four of them readjusted the camera and standing positions, rehearsed the movements, played the music, and started recording again. This time, it was a perfect take.
After filming the video and praising each other and saying goodbye, Song Rui and Shen Sisi did not rush to leave. They found a place to sit down and review the video, intending to strike while the iron is hot and send it out directly.
The video was very short, only about twenty seconds long. Song Rui cut off the unnecessary parts at the beginning and end, added music, and started playing again.
"Wait a minute, what is this?" Suddenly, Shen Sisi reached out and pressed the screen.
Song Rui looked in the direction where Shen Sisi pointed, and saw two girls in the corner of the picture turned their heads and saw them, and then the next second, they also started dancing along with the dance moves.
"They are dancing together too!" Song Rui was very surprised.
"And this one!" Shen Sisi saw another one.
In the entrance team, there was a person dancing towards them and dancing with them.
Although everyone was wearing heavy clothes and might have different backgrounds, at this moment, they were all dancing the same dance.
"Hehe." Shen Sisi couldn't help laughing: "Everyone can dance."
I still remember that after this trend of cover jumps came out, the rhetoric of those negative comments also upgraded, saying that these cover jumps were all the company's water army and marketing.
These comments are overwhelming on the Internet, but no matter how much they say, what does it matter? The real enthusiasm can't be deceived, and the fact that everyone is dancing to this dance is proof of that.
Lu Yao made this clip popular by relying on his own strength.
Thinking of this, Shen Sisi felt relieved. The tense spirit that had been in place for the past half month was finally no longer tense. The voices on the Internet were so loud and noisy that she had forgotten how to listen to the real voices and thus lost her original intention.
She was initially attracted to Lu Yao because of his strength.
Nice songs and beautiful dances, it’s that simple.
And in this respect, Lu Yao has never changed.
