Chapter 29 First Performance 11.0
The lights on the stage suddenly flickered, and the interwoven red and black light and shadows appeared and disappeared in the smoke, as if a battle was about to break out.
As a strong drum beat exploded throughout the venue, the passionate prelude of "The Passionate Road" sounded, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.
Leo stood in the center of the stage, his chin slightly raised, his eyes filled with a hint of fierce stubbornness, like a little beast ready to pounce.
His voice is extremely penetrating. As the melody progresses, it bursts out with shocking power, instantly pushing the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.
The other members surrounded Leo, their movements neat and powerful. Every swing of their arms and every kick of their legs was accompanied by a strong sense of rhythm, as if a group of passionate young people were fighting bravely on the battlefield.
"Ah ...
"My dear, please put me on a ventilator quickly. I'm about to have a serious illness!"
"R! O! My mom's fans have gone bad!! Aa ...
"Ding, where are you looking? Manage your expression! Manage your expression!!"
"So hilarious, so hilarious, hahahahahaha, this atmosphere is perfect for disco~~~~"
Then, the lights on the stage changed with the rhythm of the music, sometimes red as hot as flames, sometimes white as sharp as lightning, rendering the entire stage like a battlefield with boiling blood.
The audience in the audience was also infected by the warm atmosphere. Screams and cheers came one after another, interweaving with the music on the stage, playing this passionate melody together.
The contestants in the waiting room stood up excitedly, staring at the broadcast screen on the wall.
“Too strong!”
"The choreography of the production team is absolutely amazing!"
"So handsome!"
Not only them, but also the fans in the audience could not contain their excitement and sang along with the melody on the stage, singing loudly this familiar theme song of the hot-blooded youth comic.
The atmosphere on the scene was so exciting that it seemed to overturn the entire venue.
Xie Qingyu sat in his original position, his eyes fixed on the real-time monitoring screen on the wall.
On the screen, Leo's face was enlarged, his eyes were firm and powerful, as if he wanted to pour all his passion into this stage.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu smiled slightly, and an indescribable pride surged in his heart.
"Are you happy?"
A voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Xie Qingyu turned around and saw Bai Lang sitting over there without him noticing.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are you happy about?"
Bai Lang did not answer, his eyes still looking at Leo's face through the screen, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xie Qingyu was confused by this guy. He always appeared suddenly and said some very strange things. This was a language art track he had never been exposed to.
Turning back to the real-time monitoring screen, the audience voting has ended.
The current process has reached the point where the mentors choose whether to cast the 100 votes in their hands for them. This vote is a one-time vote, which means that the mentors only have one chance to vote.
Moreover, judging from the current base of the total on-site ticket pool, 100 votes is not a small number. The venue can accommodate 2,000 spectators, but it is impossible for all of them to be present, so a conservative estimate is 1,950 spectators.
Each person has 3 votes, totaling 5,850 votes. Adding the mentors' 500 votes, the total vote pool is 6,350 votes.
Sounds like a lot, right?
But you have to know that there are 15 performing teams present, and even if the total vote pool is divided equally among each group, they will only have about 424 votes.
Not to mention that there will be fans of the contestants among the audience, who will hold on to their tickets tightly and keep them only for their favorite contestants.
As for the audience members who have not cast all their 3 votes and have abstained from voting, the remaining vote pool will be even smaller. It is conceivable how valuable the 100 votes in the hands of the mentors are.
Finally, except for MCray who cast his 100 votes for Leo from the "Hot Blood Road" group without hesitation, the other mentors carefully chose to keep one in hand.
After the voting ends, the on-site vote count will not be announced immediately.
Instead, after the performance, each group will go to a small room prepared by the program team to watch the show individually. Finally, after all the groups have finished their performances, they will gather together in the waiting room for the overall ranking.
This is done to ensure confidentiality during the recording of the program, and also as a small measure to maintain a sense of freshness and anticipation for online audiences when the main program is broadcast. Otherwise, offline audiences will directly know how many votes each group has received on the spot, write it down, calculate it, and upload it online.
Is there any suspense about who comes first and who comes second? Then whoever wants to watch the full movie will know the result clearly.
"Has the first group finished their performance?"
Gu Qi returned to the waiting room and sat down. Seeing that everyone was very excited, he felt a little confused.
Before the group performance of "The Passionate Road", he was called out by the staff to record a speech for the sponsors. This was an S-level resource that his fans voted first in star value this week.
He wanted to ask Xie Qingyu who was standing next to him, but he didn't expect that there was a fast-talking person in his group who loved to interrupt.
Wei Liangchen was quick to respond, "Yeah, it's such a shame you missed out. It's so cool! I want to be in this group too!!!"
He said in front of his team leader that he wanted to join another team and acted arrogantly in front of Gu Qiong.
Gu Yan was speechless and ignored him.
You Jinzhao, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly, "Gu Yan is asking about Xie Qingyu, and you're just jumping around here. Who's asking you?"
Wei Liangchen said as a matter of course: "I think I would. What's it to you, a member of the "Spring and Autumn on the Strings" group, to interfere in the affairs of our "Carousel" group?" After saying that, he glanced at You Jinzhao.
You Jinzhao was completely convinced by him. He shook his head and laughed, "You're getting thicker-skinned every day. You really should let your fans see your true face."
Wei Liangchen was in a great mood because he had won the argument with You Jinchao. He shook his index finger at him complacently, indicating that he had no right to interfere.
After "The Passionate Road" ended, the second group took their place because the enthusiasm of the audience had been aroused.
So even if the second group's performance was a little disappointing, the audience expressed their understanding.
After all, not every stage can be guaranteed to be of the same quality, so it is normal for the contestants to have different levels.
But immediately after the first few performances ended, the atmosphere in the audience gradually changed subtly.
Although each group's performance was considered average, and even above average compared to other talent shows, it always felt like something was missing compared to the explosive opening of "Hot Blood Road."
The audience's emotions gradually calmed down from the initial enthusiasm, and some people even began to show a little impatience on their faces.
"Why does it feel a bit dull?"
"Maybe the opening was too amazing, so the rest of the show seemed a bit... well, not strong enough."
"I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
"Come on, some refreshing stage!"
Just then, the lights on the stage dimmed again and the whispers in the audience stopped.
A few large characters slowly appeared on the big screen - "Spring and Autumn on the Strings".
The audience was immediately excited, especially the fans of Wen Yan and You Jinzhao, who raised their cheering sticks and shouted their names loudly.
"Ahhh, Wenyan baby, come on!"
"You Jinchao, stand up for me!!!"
The lights on the stage shone softly, as if a layer of gauze covered the entire venue.
The contestants of the "Spring and Autumn on the Strings" group, dressed in ancient costumes with flowing sleeves, looked like elegant gentlemen stepping out of a scroll. At first, the melody was gentle and melodious, like the gurgling of water, and the singing was soft and delicate, as if telling an ancient and moving story.
The audience in the audience couldn't help but quiet down and immerse themselves in this gentle atmosphere. Some even closed their eyes slightly and savored the poetic lyrics.
Suddenly, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, and the drum beats joined in like thunder, and the atmosphere of the entire stage instantly became majestic.
The contestants' singing emotions also became more excited, and their songs were full of power and passion.
The light and shadow on the stage are ever-changing, sometimes like mountains and rivers, sometimes like battlefield flames, combined with the passionate melody, creating a shocking visual effect.
When the chorus sounded, You Jinzhao's opera voice was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the silence of the entire venue.
The unique charm fully displays the beauty of ancient style.
The audience was attracted by this layered performance. Some could not help but nod along with the rhythm, while others excitedly waved their cheering items, and screams rang out one after another.
"Ah ...
Waiting room.
Even though Xie Qingyu had heard You Jinzhao's opera voice many times during rehearsals, when he heard it again through the screen, the voice still made his hair stand on end.
He couldn't help but murmur in admiration: "This song was tailor-made for You Jinzhao."
The contestants next to them also nodded, their faces full of envy and admiration.
Wei Liangchen heard Xie Qingyu sighing, came over and said with a smile: "Don't be envious. If you can't reach this level after seven or eight years of Tongzi Gong, then you have learned it in vain."
Hearing this, Xie Qingyu looked at him in surprise: "How do you know so clearly?"
Wei Liangchen curled his lips and said in a relaxed tone: "His house is right across from mine. I see him every day. How can I not know him clearly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the contestants in the waiting room immediately exploded.
It turns out that Wei Liangchen and You Jinzhao are childhood friends!
Neither of them had mentioned it before, so everyone thought they were not familiar with each other.
Wei Liangchen shrugged, looking nonchalant. "What's there to say? Is it such an honor to be his childhood friend?"
When the song ended, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, but the cheers from the audience continued for a long time.
It's time to go through the process again.
The audience and mentors vote, and the contestants give their speeches on the spot.
As for the tutor's votes, Li Zhiqiu gave his 100 votes to You Jinzhao because he liked his opera voice very much.
Currently, the only on-site mentors with remaining tickets are Su Jin, Lu Chuan, and Wei Qianze...
