Chapter 85 Second Performance 15.0
The lights on the stage flickered, and several performance stages passed by one after another.
But compared to their performance in the first rehearsal, there was not much breakthrough, which made Xie Qingyu feel particularly unexpected or amazing - it was still a little bit lacking.
All I can say is that the overall strength is indeed above the quality of the first public stage.
There is no doubt about this. The first round of eliminations has passed. After the second public performance, the second round of eliminations, that is, the second ranking announcement will come soon.
Everyone is making rapid progress. If you stand still, you are regressing, and your audience and fans will soon lose interest in you.
So they can only be pushed and forced to keep up.
Having come this far, even contestants who know they will not be able to debut will want to stay a little longer.
After all, the later you go, the fewer contestants there are, and the greater the chance that the audience will recognize you. At least when you get out, you can find another job, right?
Not to mention the current popularity of "Road to a Star", who wouldn't be jealous?
"Once this team passes, there are only three stages left, and we have to prepare and wait!"
Li Luoqi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up. This person had been "weakened" by Xie Qingyu several times, both openly and secretly.
The condition of "Crazy Man" has been significantly improved, and he has restrained himself. At least he will no longer act as a "gold miner" in the team and dig holes for his teammates.
"Um."
Xie Qingyu's gaze remained on the stage.
The vocal team arranged by Li Zhiqiu for the final round performed mediocrely and was far inferior to "Spring Memories".
Perhaps it was because the other three groups all had their trump cards, and the members of their group's team that had the most competitive advantage in the competition, "Resurrection", were not very strong.
The performance style of the best-performing "Spring Memories" team is not suitable for grabbing tickets.
It seems that she has decided to use strategic layout to avoid the ace teams of other groups and reap the rewards while the vote pool is abundant.
However - Xie Qingyu's eyes flashed slightly, it was hard to say whether Li Zhiqiu's plan could succeed.
Because according to the first rehearsal, the final round was indeed a battle of gods.
It is still unknown how many tickets are left for Xie Qingyu's "Addiction" team's finale performance. Who knows, maybe "Spring Memories" really took advantage of it?
Li Luoqi saw that Xie Qingyu had a calm expression and no emotion at all, and he admired him in his heart. Is this the full confidence that comes with being too strong?
He has been on the show for so long, and the only one who can conquer him in terms of strength and "tea flavor" is Xie Qingyu.
He only admires Xie Qingyu, what a great guy!
He's so talented and hardworking, and he has a smart and smooth mind, a pretty face, a good temperament, and he cooks delicious food. If he's not popular, who else would be? He deserves to be popular!
He will only choose to make friends with this type of people, and it will be difficult to deal with them if he offends them.
"Then do you think our team can take first place?"
The leader Su Jin has high expectations for their team and treats them as the ace of the team.
Li Luoqi felt a little bit of pressure, afraid that he would fail on stage!
Xie Qingyu turned her head and looked at him, her eyebrows raised slightly: "Of course!" After saying that, the corners of her lips curled up with a determined arc, "Why? No confidence?"
It's rare~, Host Li can be so sentimental. The situation this time is slightly different from that of Zhu Xiaojun.
Li Luoqi was not nervous, he just wanted someone to give him some confidence. He could be said to be "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."
The tone was so matter-of-fact that Li Luoqi was stunned at first, then laughed out loud.
Yes, with Xie Qingyu, the "big devil", in charge, why should he, a backup dancer, worry about anything?
That's right! Xie Qingyu's strength was too abnormal. He quietly slid down to his knees and was always ready to go on stage as a backup dancer.
It’s not shameful to be Xie Qingyu’s backup dancer!
Maybe there will be unexpected gains?
Just then, the Vocal group's performance had just ended and the stage lights suddenly dimmed.
With the roar of machinery running, five figures slowly appeared in the light and shadow of the stage - the Rap group's "Rising Up" team was ready.
Xie Qingyu knew everyone in this team, not to mention Gu Yan and Wei Liangchen, they were old acquaintances!
Qian Song and Huang Ke were his teammates in the "Banana" group during the first public performance, and Fan Niu Niu was the student who was extremely good at Rap and left a deep impression on Xie Qingyu.
When the ranking was first released, he was on the verge of elimination and his ranking was not high. He was very lucky to be able to choose a song that suits him so well this time.
In fact, before the first rehearsal, Xie Qingyu was still quite worried about Wei Liangchen's performance.
If you still can't adapt, your performance on stage will be poor, and you may even drag down the entire team when your teammates perform well.
That could easily be mistaken for a malicious editing package and sent out by the program crew.
This is already the second performance, and the competition among the contestants is so fierce. It will be difficult to climb back up if you fall out of the debut position at this time.
Fortunately, I don't know whether it was because his Ren and Du meridians were opened, or because Gu Qi's "training" skills were really superb.
His performance on stage during the first rehearsal was pretty good, with his own unique style. Of course, it could also be due to his good facial features and the atmosphere.
As long as Wei Liangchen doesn't use random expressions on his handsome face, he can still fool many confused passers-by on the stage.
As the strong 808 drum beats sounded, Qian Song took a step forward to the center of the stage.
He raised his hand to hold the earphone, his Adam's apple rolled, and his hoarse voice was as rough as sandpaper:
(From the unknown corner all the way to the
Sweat soaks my back, but no one sees the scars
The bombardment of rumors is like a dense target
But I keep walking because I have a dream in my heart
Practice day and night and repeat each beat
Crush all doubts and let strength speak for itself)
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and Xie Qingyu could even see the blue veins bulging on his neck.
When singing the part about “crushing all doubts”, Qian Song suddenly opened his collar, revealing a clear scar on his collarbone.
Anyone who has been on the internet for a while knows that it was a result of a stage accident three years ago. It caused a huge uproar on Big Eyes at the time and was considered the most popular day in his idol career.
At this moment, his hands were pointed firmly at the ground, and his eyes were filled with tears, as if he was really crushing countless doubts.
(The stage is the battlefield, the lights crown me
Climb to the top and seize all the glory——)
Xie Qingyu sighed slightly. Did he choose this song because it resonated with him and reminded him of his own bumpy career path?
But it was indeed the right choice. Qian Song is a perfect match for this song. I wish him success.
Before the last note faded, Gu Qiong had already stepped in to the beat of the drum.
He casually unbuttoned his casual suit with one hand, instantly subverting his originally elegant vocal image.
When the deep voice sounded, the entire waiting area gasped and the atmosphere at the rehearsal was instantly ignited.
Gu Qi raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing indifference and composure, as if the whole stage was set up for him.
The clear and powerful words were shot out as accurately as bullets, every word was clear and there was no ambiguity.
（Rising Up We will not be defeated
Break through the darkness and run towards the light
Declare loudly that the dream will never fade away
The hustle and bustle along the way turns into fuel for progress)
The contestants in the audience couldn't help but marvel every time they watched it, their basic skills were so solid.
Although his vocal skills are still better, his rap skills will definitely surprise people more than his previously solid vocal image.
I used to think they were crazy, but now it seems they are the ones with a mental illness.
Isn't it crazy to worry about whether others get 101 points or 100 points based on your own 25% level of knowledge?
When it came to Wei Liangchen's part, every time I saw him singing the lyrics with a fierce look on his face and gritting his teeth.
Xie Qingyu couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. It was so cute. Who knows, there will be many more mother fans after the second public performance.
Finally, at the end of the Outro, when the five people finally stood in a row with their arms raised high, Huang Ke’s broken roar became the most moving part.
Fan Niu Niu even pulled off his hairband, revealing his shaved sideburns.
They roared out the last sentence at the top of their lungs:
"Rising Up, ignite the flame in your heart—"
There was a blazing flame in everyone's eyes, as if the dream in their heart was burning fiercely.
While the last syllables were still echoing in the venue, MCray rushed onto the stage and hugged the five people, regardless of the staff's obstruction. The other contestants were very calm, but he was crying his eyes out.
Despite Qu Qinghuan's helpless dissuasion, MCray's tears were still splashing on the stage. The rap instructor was so excited that he was incoherent:
"Well done! Well done! No matter what, you guys are number one in my heart!!!"
He hung on several contestants like a koala, completely ignoring the anxious staff in the audience.
"Really, Teacher MC?" Wei Liangchen asked in great surprise, his eyes lighting up.
"So, can I start rapping now?"
"I didn't say you!!!"
No one expected MCray's sudden change of expression. He turned around and took Gu Qiong alone, hugged the other four people, but left Wei Liangchen alone.
The camera captured Wei Liangchen like a piglet whose food was snatched away, grunting and pushing his way inside, causing the whole audience to laugh.
Xie Qingyu's fingertips rested lightly on his chin, a faint smile spreading across his eyes. The lights in the waiting area cast tiny specks of light on his profile, making his composure even more dazzling.
It is such a stage that is more interesting - not a drama of 'emperor's enthronement' where one flower stands out, but a carnival where hundreds of flowers bloom.
If the ending is already determined, why should the audience follow it?
"The creative team of 'All Things Natural' is ready to go on stage--" the voice of the staff interrupted my thoughts.
"Dance group 'Addiction' team, please wait on the right side of the stage!"
Xie Qingyu stood up swiftly, and her satin shirt shone with burgundy ripples as she moved.
He finally glanced at the creative team on the big screen...
