Chapter 114 The Third Performance 1.0
Xie Qingyu held his breath and followed Ji Shuran's movements as he opened the lid.
When the plate of cookies finally revealed its true colors, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The shape is regular, the color is golden, and it looks... not bad?
But the uneasiness in my heart is still surging.
He looked around at his teammates calmly, and his eyes finally fell on Fan Niuniu, who was awkward and shy beside him.
Xie Qingyu coughed lightly twice, with a hint of guilt in her voice: "How about... Niu Niu try Teacher Ji's cooking first?"
Niu, I’m sorry, he apologized silently in his heart.
The others must have either experienced Teacher Su Jin's craftsmanship or heard about it. At this moment, they looked hesitant and a little scared, not daring to try it easily.
There has to be a brave man who charges first, at least to save some face for the female guest.
What's more, the person in front of him is his goddess, so... he should be more motivated to try, right?
Fan Niu Niu's Adam's apple rolled noticeably.
Although he was in the Rap group during the second public performance, the reputation of Teacher Su Jin's "sad and enchanting" cookie had long been spread among the contestants by word of mouth.
But... for the goddess, I have to fight!
He took a deep breath, and under the concerned gaze of his four teammates, he picked up the smallest biscuit with trembling fingers.
The goddess's perfect smile was so close to him that he made up his mind and stuffed the biscuit directly into his mouth.
With a crisp "click" sound, Fan Niu Niu's eyes widened instantly.
His fingers raised up uncontrollably in the thumbs-up position, his head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and his face was full of disbelief.
tasty? !
Xie Qingyu and the others looked at each other, hesitantly preparing to reach out to take it.
Since even Niu Niu, who seems to be the most honest, said so, it should be... okay, right?
At worst, it will be over in a blink of an eye.
"vomit--"
The sudden retching sound frightened everyone.
The 'honest man' Fan Niuniu's face turned red, and he swallowed hard while chewing, his facial features distorted.
His face was covered with physiological tears, but he still stubbornly raised his thumb and shook it in front of his teammates.
After finally swallowing it with great difficulty, tears still hung on his eyelashes. His voice was choked but extremely firm: "It's... delicious! You guys try it, it's so delicious that it makes me cry..."
The training room fell into an eerie silence.
Xie Qingyu opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end. He only sighed silently in his heart: The power of the goddess is indeed strong!
"Don't you want to try it? It tastes good!"
Ji Shuran looked at Xie Qingyu and the other three sincerely, and even picked up a piece himself, put it into his mouth without changing his expression, and nodded gently, "The heat is just right this time."
Xie Qingyu reached out hesitantly, deliberately avoiding the area where Fan Niu Niu took the biscuits, and chose a piece next to the one she took. Maybe it was the same as the strange-tasting beans, only some of the pieces were problematic?
Seeing this, the others also gritted their teeth and took a piece each.
It would be unreasonable not to eat these cookies today.
Xie Qingyu pinched the biscuit and paused at his lips for half a second.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the biscuits emitted a faint... indescribable "stuffy stench"?
The next second, his suspicions were confirmed.
The moment the biscuit entered the mouth, a strong, almost violent, stinking smell rushed straight to the top of the head, instantly crushing the original sweet fragrance of the biscuit.
Xie Qingyu immediately held his breath, chewed and swallowed mechanically and quickly, but the taste had completely killed his heart.
He felt that the stench had completely marinated him from the inside out.
The expressions of the people around them were also very interesting. Some had tense cheeks, some closed their eyes and took a deep breath, and some pinched their thighs, all of them using all their willpower to suppress the urge to retch.
Seeing Huang Ke's face turning green and his throat rolling, Fan Niu Niu rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly.
As a loyal fanboy, he does not allow anyone to disobey his goddess, let alone spoil her feelings.
After everyone finished the cookie 'baptism' ceremony, Xie Qingyu hesitated to speak, but still asked politely:
"Teacher Ji's cooking skills are...very good, very creative. Can I ask what special ingredients are added?"
Ji Shuran's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found a soulmate in life, and his tone became enthusiastic: "Do you like canned herring biscuits too?"
Canned herring?
Small cookies??!!!
Can these two things be put together?
The faces of the other people turned pale instantly, and their stomachs churned again.
Xie Qingyu forced a smile: "Not... okay."
Sure enough, his intuition was correct, the problem lay with the raw materials.
Seeing her say it so frankly in front of the camera, it was obvious that this was not a secret.
So... Ji Shuran really... has "pica"?
Although it was not polite to think so, he really couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
Next came the familiar Part segment.
In fact, in terms of the performance style of "Five Phases of Floating Life", compared with other groups, they would not have too many disputes over part allocation.
After all, the character settings have been clearly planned, and everyone has his or her own role positioning.
But now that female guests have joined the team, the situation has become more delicate.
The allocation of parts must take into account the overall situation, so that Ji Shuran's performance can be naturally integrated without appearing abrupt or disconnected.
Otherwise, the marketing accounts will not let go of this topic. It would be the least of their worries to say that they are ungentlemanly. They might even be accused of "the whole team isolating the female guest".
Xie Qingyu had already considered this in mind.
In his opinion, the most reasonable arrangement is to start from the creative background of the song and use the female guest as the core clue connecting the whole story, which will increase interactivity without overshadowing the main theme.
Of course, this is not his one-man show. Teamwork requires democracy, and as a guest, Ji Shuran should have the right to express his opinions.
Although everyone finally unanimously approved Xie Qingyu's plan after putting forward their own ideas, "going through the discussion process" and "skipping it directly" are two completely different things.
The former is respect, the latter is arbitrariness.
"Teacher Ji, if you have any ideas, you can also bring them up and we can discuss them together."
The six people sat cross-legged in a circle. Xie Qingyu noticed that Ji Shuran was staring fixedly at a point in the center of the circle.
I hardly participated in the conversation throughout the whole process, thinking that she was reserved and too embarrassed to take the initiative.
He took the initiative to take over the conversation, leaving her a blank space to speak.
Just when everyone thought she was distracted, unexpectedly, as soon as Xie Qingyu finished speaking, Ji Shuran immediately nodded, her tone sincere:
"I think this arrangement is great. We can go through it completely first, and then slowly adjust the details. I'm not an expert in this area, so everyone can just follow their own pace. I will definitely cooperate fully."
It would be bad if the overall progress was delayed because of her, as the fans of male idols are super fierce.
Although her current status sounds impressive, her exposure has long been less than before after the previous cold treatment.
The agent arranged her to come this time with the intention of taking advantage of the popularity, but no matter how much he tries, he must strike a balance.
Just don't get so angry that you go back and burn down your own house.
Seeing that Ji Shuran was so easy to talk to, and not much different from the "gentle and easy-going" personality that was rumored on the Internet, everyone except Fan Niu Niu breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether this is a character setting or not, as long as she can maintain consistency from beginning to end, who can say that this is not part of her personality?
"Then let's follow this plan. It's getting late now. Let's all go to the cafeteria to eat first, and then continue rehearsing."
After Xie Qingyu finalized the overall movement route and part arrangement, he glanced at the wall clock - the hour hand was approaching twelve o'clock.
It didn't matter to the trainees. They could just eat some bread and drink some yogurt for a meal, but with the female guests present, they had to think more.
Let them rehearse on an empty stomach, or just make do with fast food?
Anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence wouldn't do that.
"Okay, I heard that the food in your program cafeteria has a good reputation. I've been wanting to try it for a long time."
Ji Shuran responded fluently, with a perfect smile on his lips.
It seems that the atmosphere in this team is much more harmonious than she expected.
Xie Qingyu offered her a way out, and she naturally took it down. They both gave each other enough respect. This is the tacit understanding that people in the circle should have.
It’s no wonder that he has such a huge popularity.
He participated in the talent show as an amateur, but even though he became so famous, he doesn't show any impetuousness at all. He handles things so thoroughly that no one can find fault with him.
Everyone in the entertainment industry talks about being a "decent person", but very few can actually do it.
——Coincidentally, Ji Shuran likes dealing with respectable people the most.
Perhaps all the teams had thought of this tacitly, or perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement by the program team.
When Xie Qingyu, his teammates and Ji Shuran just sat down in the cafeteria, trainees from other groups and female guests also arrived one after another.
Lan Xi, the female guest from the "Sun Surfer Soda" group, was chatting with her team members with a smile.
This artist, who was the runner-up in another girl group audition program, successfully transformed into an actor after the group disbanded. Recently, she has received a lot of praise for her role as the third female lead in the Grape TV suspense drama.
As an artist who has deep cooperation with the platform, it is reasonable for her to appear here.
Not far away, Lin Wu, the female guest from the "Wild Knight" group, was also quietly following behind.
As a movie action star, she started from a high point, which is rare in the current entertainment industry. Unfortunately, she has always been tepid.
Tang Weiwei from the "Clear Sky Hitchhiker's Guide" group is the complete opposite. She is a child star and her family workshop is not very reliable.
After being ignored for ten years, she has recently become popular again thanks to her cheongsam looks in period dramas.
Zhao Ning from the "Aurora Kissed the Daylight Line" group is a well-known second-tier singer in the circle, and is facing the embarrassing situation of "his songs are popular but he himself is not".
This time he came to the talent show to perform, probably hoping to become famous through the stage.
Cui Zhenyi from the "Don't Call Me Good" group is particularly eye-catching. She is an internet celebrity and is a beauty with a strong appearance.
Under the title of "the most beautiful lady in Douzi Video", she entered the entertainment industry. Because of her good bone structure, she is a rare internet celebrity who is not in the spotlight.
In addition, Jiang Kecheng, the female guest of the "THUNDER STRIKE" team, is the only one among the female guests who is from a legitimate girl group.
She was once the main dancer of the overseas girl group PINKQ. Unfortunately, the group encountered turmoil in the company's senior management during its rising period and eventually ended up disbanding.
In the past two years, she has frequently appeared in domestic dance competition variety shows, trying to reopen the market.
"Hello, teachers." Xie Qingyu led the team members to greet each of them one by one.
Just as I said hello and sat down, the next group came in and I had to stand up again.
He sighed in his heart. The biggest inconvenience of starting over was that he had to start counting his generations from scratch again.
After much difficulty becoming a senior, I ended up back to the time before liberation.
Of course, you can choose not to say hello, but if it is recorded, your personal reputation will inevitably be labeled as tactless.
As Leo stepped into the cafeteria, his eyes quickly scanned the crowd.
After locking onto Xie Qingyu's position, he unconsciously raised his foot and walked towards that direction.
If Ding was in the team, he would have definitely stopped him without saying a word.
It's a pity that Ding was not present in the third public performance this time. He is the center of the song. There is also Wei Liangchen in the team who is also a crowd-pleaser and likes to be around Xie Qingyu.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing Leo move, Wei Liangchen immediately followed with great interest.
The remaining three team members looked at each other, hesitating whether to dissuade them, but they saw that their female guest Lan Xi had raised her eyebrows and followed with interest.
Well, no need to worry about it now.
The three of them exchanged helpless glances and resigned themselves to following the main force.
