Second performance 2
The members of Ning Sinian's team had no reaction to the news and even wanted to laugh.
Haha, what could be more terrifying than a confrontation with Team Shen Xiu? Ning Sinian's team became extremely withdrawn, feeling hopeless and not wanting to talk.
After knowing that their opponent was Ning Sinian's team, the members of Team Shen Xiu shifted their attention away from other groups and focused on Team Ning Sinian.
During the team training, each group kept secrets from each other. It was impossible for them to know themselves and the enemy. All they could do was observe the enemy's emotions.
After observation, the members of Shen Xiu's team were horrified to find that the other party was too calm!
Faced with the news that the program team deliberately released to influence their mentality, they were unmoved.
Obviously, he didn't take the unknown "bad news" seriously at all.
Wow, their opponents have a stable mentality and strong strength, so scary!
Realizing that the members of Team Shen Xiu were eyeing them covetously, the members of Team Ning Sinian broke out in a cold sweat.
Brothers, I know you are very strong, but the game hasn't even started yet, could you please take your eyes off us for a moment?
So creepy!
According to the program team's procedures, the second performance group showdown will officially start at 2 pm. The morning is purely a benefit for the audience, allowing the audience to see up close how the trainees from each group get along with each other.
He Ting: "Now, let's move on to the stage where each group will utter harsh words to each other."
Auditorium:
"Usually this part is privately interviewed before the game. Now, it is put on the stage for us. I like it!"
"What will everyone say? 'Oh, I'll beat you down later'? Or 'You are worthy of being my opponent'? Or 'Come on'?"
"No matter what, when the groups compete, I just like to see everyone get all heated!"
Shen Xiu:?
The production crew really knows how to embarrass people, and they seem to be so casual as to not care about the lives of the trainees.
The only thing that made Shen Xiu feel fortunate was that his teammates accompanied him to the public execution under the spotlight.
He Ting: "Please invite the two captains of Black Team 1 to come to the front."
The corners of Shang Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked forward with his team members and stood in front of Mu Zhenchu, who was also speechless about the program crew's actions.
Shang Yu stood in the front, with eight teammates behind him, and Mu Zhenchu was standing in the same position.
The eighteen people stared at each other in silence.
"Ahem..." Standing like this was not a solution, Mu Zhenchu coughed lightly: "Be careful."
Shang Yu smiled slightly to show respect: "Same to you."
"Ah, is this the end?"
"Speaking frankly, this is very consistent with Shang Yu's personality. Hahaha, even if the sky falls, the corners of his mouth will still be raised."
"Mu Zhenchu has a bit of a simple and straightforward temper. If you ask him to say something harsh, he can't think of anything brilliant to say at all."
He Ting: "Please welcome the two captains Bai 2."
Twenty seconds later, Xiang Yueting and Zhuang Yi led their team members to look at each other.
Xiang Yueting snorted coldly. After hearing the snort, the members of Xiang Yueting's team immediately crossed their arms and glanced at the Zhuang Yi team opposite them: "Just wait to be defeated by us!"
Zhuang Yi had a frown on his forehead. He hadn't thought of what to say yet. He opened his mouth subconsciously when he heard the words: "Bounce...back?"
The members of Zhuang Yi's team felt that no matter whether it was the people or the formation, they could not lose, so they immediately held their heads high and shouted in unison: "Bounce back!"
The voice was so loud that Xiang Yueting blinked in confusion: "No way, Lao Zhuang, have you overheard our team's declaration?"
Otherwise, why would there be a rebound as soon as you open your mouth?
Zhuang Yi nodded calmly and said, "I've heard a little about it." No way!
"Damn it, just wait for us!" Xiang Yueting snorted coldly, and his teammates also snorted collectively, fighting in unison.
Auditorium:
"I am dying of laughter. This group of people must be all comedians. Hahaha."
"It's hard to understand. Where Xiang Yueting is, the painting style is always a little bit strange."
"Why do I feel that Xiang Yueting is silly and cute, and Zhuang Yi looks like he is fooling the landlord's stupid son? It's so funny."
He Ting: "Please welcome the two captains of Blue 3."
Ten seconds later, Song Chengwang and Jiang Yanxi faced each other.
Jiang Yanxi scratched his head: "Brother Wang, what...what are you going to say? I haven't thought about it yet, otherwise, you can start first and give me some ideas."
Song Chengwang shrugged: "Actually, I haven't thought about it yet."
Jiang Yanxi sighed: "Then...come on?"
Song Chengwang nodded: "I have no objection, keep going."
The two groups looked at each other and said in unison: "Come on."
The voice was not excited at all, as if it was just a casual chat.
After saying "Come on", the two groups turned around tacitly and returned to their original positions.
It should have been a tense moment, but now it was so peaceful that He Ting had the illusion that he would grow wings and turn into a white dove in the next second.
[The main point is to remain calm.] 】
[It is obvious that the production team did not inform them of this segment before they went on stage, hahaha]
[But...from what Xiang Yueting said, it seems that he had prepared in advance. 】
[Sister, Husky is Husky, well... its thinking is always so jumpy and active, it cannot be compared with humans. 】
【Xiang Yueting: Erha? ? ? Are you polite? 】
He Ting: "Ahem, please welcome the two captains of Red 4."
He just couldn't believe that eight groups couldn't put together a famous "life-and-death" scene!
While other groups were hurling harsh words at each other, Ning Sinian's group was discussing with each other. When they heard the host's voice, Ning Sinian said in a heavy tone, "Just choose this one."
It can show their determination and maintain their pitiful dignity.
He would never get stage fright!
Chen Xiu walked with heavy steps and stood in front of Ning Sinian's team. In order to set an example for the team members, Ning Sinian stared at Chen Xiu from the moment he walked towards him.
Shen Xiu: “….”
Sensing Ning Sinian's gaze, Shen Xiu wanted to escape.
Ning Sinian stared at them so fiercely from the beginning, and he was under a lot of pressure. Also, why were there several jib cameras moving above their heads at the same time? This really makes me want to laugh!
But he really couldn't laugh now. It would be okay if he was the only one who was embarrassed, but now his teammates were behind him. If he dodged in this situation, he would embarrass the whole team.
To this end, Shen Xiu forced himself to look at Ning Sinian opposite him and ignore the crane camera.
It's just eye contact, so just treat Ning Sinian as a taller cabbage for now, Shen Xiuru suggested to himself.
Lose the battle but not the person.
What's more, both teams were quite wary of each other. No matter how strong they were, at least they didn't want to lose. Therefore, the members of the two groups learned from their own captains and tried hard to keep an eye on the other side's members.
Thirty seconds passed and the eyes of the crew members on both sides were dry from staring, but in order to maintain their team's pitiful face, they gritted their teeth and forced themselves not to blink.
On the stage, the audience saw that Team Chen Xiu and Team Ning Sinian were standing opposite each other, staring at each other for a full minute, and neither side seemed to have any intention of speaking.
Ning Sinian gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Xiu with cold eyes. His stern expression never relaxed from beginning to end. He instantly forgot what he was going to say and just stood there stupidly, forgetting to speak.
What's this? The naked death stare! He wanted to escape, but couldn't, he was so scared! The damn jib camera is surrounding them and filming live, so annoying!
Ning Sinian was humming in his heart and his mind was in a mess.
He was very puzzled. A minute had already passed, and he felt every second felt like a year during this long minute. It was not easy for him to hold on for so long, so why didn't Shen Xiu let him go? !
Do I have to cry and beg for mercy?
No, absolutely not, it's too embarrassing!
Since Chen Xiu had referred to Ning Sinian as cabbage, he stared at the cabbage in front of him, his thoughts scattered...
Why can’t the cabbage I grow at home grow into a white ball? Yes... Do you usually skim off the leaves too often?
Well, that should be the case.
The vegetable garden is small, and it is not realistic to pull out the whole vegetable at once or wait for it to mature and then eat it.
On the stage, the oppressive atmosphere between the two sides seemed to be filled with invisible smoke of gunpowder, and the fight was about to break out.
He Ting: “….”
Although he wanted a tense confrontation scene, but... there's no need to be so serious, right? Two full minutes have passed now!
He Ting looked at the players from both teams staring at each other fiercely, and was afraid that they would fight on the spot. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, He Ting walked between the two teams to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Ahem, say something." After saying that, they quickly separated from him. He was old and his heart couldn't take it!
Shen Xiu's thoughts hadn't yet been resolved when he was interrupted by He Ting's voice and came back to his senses.
Ning Sinian heard the host finally speak up to save him, and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at the host.
Ning Sinian was afraid of being stared at by Shen Xiu again, so he quickly seized this fleeting opportunity and said what the team had agreed on: "We will try our best!"
Shen Xiu came back to his senses, and after hearing Ning Sinian's words, he nodded seriously: "Yeah."
Their team will too!
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, He Ting waited for a few seconds, but didn't hear Shen Xiu speak again. He was slightly puzzled. Is that it?
He Ting subconsciously looked at Chen Xiu and sighed in his heart that Chen Xiu really took silence to the extreme.
Shen Xiu met He Ting's gaze, and was nervous for a moment, but soon he understood He Ting's look.
The host must want to make himself respond.
Chen Xiu then said, "Come on." This is what Song Chengwang and the others said before, and then they said goodbye to each other. It worked.
Ning Sinian: "......"
It's clearly words of encouragement, why does it sound weird?
This was a careless sarcasm... No, this was not a sarcasm, it was definitely that Shen Xiu did not take them seriously, and there was a great possibility that he felt that this part of threatening words was childish, so he was so calm and indifferent!
Ning Sinian, who had figured it out, sighed inwardly. When would he be considered a rival by Shen Xiu? When will I be able to reach the state of Shen Xiu where I don't care about anything?
After Shen Xiu finished saying "Come on", the host didn't ask him to leave. Ning Sinian on the opposite side also stood there motionless, so he didn't feel comfortable leaving, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
Could it be... that my words were too short and both the host and Ning Sinian were not satisfied?
Shen Xiu thought for a few seconds and spoke again: "Everyone work hard."
Forgive him, I really don’t know what to say. He really doesn’t know how to say harsh words... So let’s just encourage each other.
Ning Sinian: "You guys...are also working hard?"
He Ting: “….”
The tension is gone, but why are things taking a strange direction? Moreover, why did he see a hint of helplessness in Shen Xiu's indifferent expression, thinking that their program team was childish?
He Ting said awkwardly: "Ahem, this session is over."
As the show went on, Shen Xiu probably thought to himself that he had probably never seen such a childish show like theirs in his life.
Hearing the host's voice, both Chen Xiu and Ning Sinian felt as if they had been pardoned. They looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing that they would be forced to stay on the stage again, they did not dare to stay for a moment and turned around and left.
Chen Xiu's pace was so fast, for fear that if he was a second slower, the program crew would cause trouble again. Because he walked too fast, he raised a moment of wind when he passed by the host.
He Ting looked at Chen Xiu's quick and decisive movements when he walked, thinking that he was indeed a big boss. The wind he brought with him when he left was filled with a murderous and decisive aura.
Ning Sinian's heart finally settled down after returning to his original position.
The people in Ning Sinian's team praised quietly: "Captain Ning, you were really brave just now."
"That's right. I admire you so much that I don't even dare to look at Captain Xiu's cold eyes. I can only stare at Ke Zian."
Hearing the compliment, Ning Sinian sneered in his heart, what courage? It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist at all. He is just holding on for the sake of the whole team's face!
If possible, he hopes that he is not the unlucky one next time, and he will go to another team to be unlucky!
After watching the last part where Team Chen Xiu and Team Ning Sinian exchanged harsh words, the assistant director shed tears of emotion backstage: "Wow, it finally feels right! This edit has a lot of feel to it!"
What the hell are the first three groups? Someone's harsh words turned into a funny segment, that's fine, but can they still discuss it? Humph, Team Shen Xiu is still reliable!
[Did anyone take a screenshot of the confrontation just now? Ahhh, I regret it so much. I was stunned by Shen Xiu’s eyes for a moment and forgot to take a screenshot! 】
[Even through the screen, I subconsciously didn't dare to breathe. 】
[I had the foresight to start recording in advance. To be honest, the murderous aura between the two groups at the end was so strong, as if they were going to fight at the next second. It was just that the jib-mounted live camera that was shooting from multiple angles around them was a little funny, hahaha]
He Ting, who thought he had succeeded in mediating the fight, returned to his original position and said, "Now, each team please follow the staff and enter the room that has been arranged for you to prepare for the team showdown this afternoon."
The production team still prepared a separate room for each team. On the one hand, it was to allow each team to reveal their plans before the second performance, and on the other hand, it was to facilitate each team to have some pre-match discussions or pre-match team encouragement.
The trainees from each group left the stage under the guidance of the staff.
Although the audience felt reluctant to see the trainees leave, this reluctance was quickly dispelled when they thought about the second performance at 2pm.
After the trainees leave, it is the welfare stage for the four mentors.
The mentors all have a certain reputation in the circle, and many of the audience members present are their fans. Even if they are not their fans, they can spend very little money and not only watch the trainees' performances in the afternoon, but also watch the performances of the mentors at the concert level. For the audience, it is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
The four mentors are qualified to be mentors because they all have strong stage control ability. After the four performances, the audience got a perfect audio-visual enjoyment and the atmosphere was very hot.
At twelve noon, the morning show ended and the audience left their seats to eat.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the second performance finally officially began amid everyone's anticipation.
The audience returned to their seats and looked at the black curtain that had been re-erected outside the venue during the two hours of dinner, feeling puzzled.
"What is the program team doing?"
"No matter what they do, this is hanging from the sky, and steel frames are built around it, turning the entire open-air venue into an indoor venue. There are air conditioners all around, and there are exhaust holes on the top, so it doesn't feel hot at all. The production crew is really generous."
"The audience seats this time are obviously much larger than the premiere. At first I thought it would be inconvenient to do the lighting effects in the open air, but now I don't have to worry about that at all. I declare that the ticket price for "Young Man Unbeatable" is the best value I have ever spent after watching so many live performances!"
on stage.
He Ting changed into an exaggerated outfit and announced loudly: "In fifteen minutes, we will have the first group match. Please get ready, Team Shang Yu!"
In order to avoid panic among the audience due to sudden lights out, He Ting kindly reminded: "The lights on the stage will be turned off for fifteen minutes, and the lights will be turned on in fifteen minutes. Please don't worry, audience friends."
As He Ting finished speaking, the lights on the stage went out instantly.
The audience seats were the only places where dim warm-colored lights were still on. The curtains built around the seats had a good light-blocking effect, giving the audience the illusion that it was night time.
Of course, in order to prevent potential safety hazards, Shi Buwen spent a huge amount of money and used the latest fire-proof materials to build it, and also installed fire-fighting sprinklers in the sky.
If there are audiences outside at this moment, they will see many sprinkler trucks rented by the program crew parked outside. All of this is only to ensure the safety of the audience and the smooth progress of the performance.
As the first team to go on stage, the Shangyu team had no reference, so the members were naturally anxious. But they didn't have time to be anxious for too long. The program crew could provide them with any tools and props, but they never provided them with makeup services. They had to do their makeup well within these fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes were up, and He Ting's voice came from the darkness: "Dear audience friends, next, please enjoy "The Puppet Master" brought to you by the Shang Yu team."
As the host finished speaking, the audience quieted down on their own accord, all staring at the stage which was still in darkness.
Click... click... click...
In the darkness, the old-fashioned clock made a teeth-grinding sound.
After the third click, a cluster of warm yellow lights slowly lit up...
The puppet in exquisite court costume held a candlestick emitting dim light, turned around, and walked mechanically and stiffly, while singing a mechanical and hoarse song: "Hiding in the cold body, holding the candlestick in hand, step by step... Master, today's work has not yet been completed..."
As the puppets moved, wherever the candlelight shone, there were display windows, in which were stiff puppets with expressionless faces and no signs of life.
The hoarse voice of the puppet's machine woke up Shang Yu, who was lying on the black table in a white silk nightgown.
Shang Yu raised his eyes sleepily and glanced at the doll standing like a sculpture in front of him. He stood up and grabbed the blood-stained lens on the table. As he wiped the lens with white satin, a low and lazy song after waking up poured out of his throat.
"Tonight the baby is still as well-behaved as a bird..."
After wiping the lenses, Shang Yu threw the blood-stained lenses on the ground, put on his frameless glasses, and took joyful steps with his pale feet. He moved freely among the broken limbs on the ground while singing happily. Every transparent cabinet was opened by Shang Yu.
Shang Yu's smooth movements contrast sharply with the puppet behind him that moves in a stuck manner.
After all the cabinets were opened, Shang Yu instantly threw away the candle, the only light on the stage went out, and the stage fell into darkness again.
In the darkness, there was a noisy sound of limbs and joints turning.
The lights suddenly came on at this moment, with Shang Yu in the lead, and behind him stood eight puppets dressed in exquisite court costumes.
Everyone had strange makeup on their face, and the corners of their mouths maintained the same arc upwards, singing and dancing along with Shang Yu.
In between, there are scenes of a puppet lying on a black table, with Shang Yu repairing the puppet with an axe, a long saw and other tools, while singing softly.
From beginning to end, Shang Yu had a happy smile on his face and his movements were smooth, while the puppets were pale, slow and stiff in their movements.
The lights were shaking, the singing was eerie, and finally, Shang Yu seemed to have sawed something, the saw got stuck, and the puppet on the table suddenly let out a lively howl that was different from before. A drop of blood was splashed on Shang Yu's lens, and the lens fell off, and an eyeball fell out of Shang Yu's eyes and hit the table.
The picture freezes and the stage ends.
The final frozen moment reached the extreme of horror and weirdness.
At this moment, the audience finally understood that the puppeteer is the puppet, and the puppets are all human beings.
Inside the Shen Xiu team’s practice room.
After the first performance, Chen Xiu saw the expressions of his teammates and thought to himself that it was bad. He stood up without hesitation and walked from the last row to turn off the live broadcast in front of him. However, after Chen Xiu pressed the power off button, the screen still did not respond.
Shen Xiu: “?”
Click... The staff member who saw Shen Xiuguan's actions in the live broadcast room immediately pushed the door open.
When Shen Xiu heard the door open, he subconsciously looked towards the door. Seeing that it was a staff member, he immediately asked for help: "Can you turn off the live broadcast in the room?"
Chen Xiu was unlucky enough to be the last group to go on stage, and he was very worried that everyone’s mentality would be affected after watching the performances of the first seven groups.
After all...it's only the first game and the friends seem to be affected, which is a very bad thing.
Staff: “Sorry, we can’t.”
Shen Xiu: "...Thank you, I understand."
After saying that, Chen Xiu went straight to unplug the plug. Sorry to the production team, this was the only thing he could do for his friends!
