First performance preparation 3
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, it proved that Shen Xiu’s initial gaze was indeed on him: “Wasn’t it me you were looking at at first?”
He was just a second late in looking up and didn't meet Shen Xiu's eyes, but Shen Xiu gave up on him and chose the "Mushroom" who had the least presence in Class F and was never taken seriously by him.
Lin Jiashi didn’t quite understand.
Lin Jiashi's words made the air fall into an eerie silence.
In this suffocating atmosphere, Lin Jiashi took the risk and forced himself to look directly into Shen Xiu's cold eyes.
He had thought it through very clearly before coming here. No matter what Shen Xiu's answer was to today's questioning, having Shen Xiu with him would only increase his recognition, and he would have gained something.
At most, the audience will say that he has low emotional intelligence and a straightforward personality.
A fool who doesn't know how to beat around the bush and a stubborn beauty, with full buffs, this character setting is pretty good.
When the elimination is done by voting after the performance, the trainees who don’t have recognizable popularity or curiosity will be forgotten and eliminated by the audience.
As long as he is remembered by more audiences, no matter what method he uses, he wins, whether he is black or red, he is still red.
Shen Xiu: “…”
After the shock, there were inexplicable questions. Shen Xiu's brain and body both stopped working and he froze in place.
[Lin Jiashi is really reckless. He asked questions in a rage. There are loopholes in the questions he asked. He was just too hot-blooded. He asked questions without thinking carefully. He knows how to embarrass people. 】
[But...the C-position captain can choose whoever he wants. Does he need to explain this to the person being chosen? Lin Jiashi is like this. What does he think of Zhuang Yi, the team that finally chose him to join the team? Zhuang Yi is really an innocent person. 】
【Did no one notice that we were frantically reminding him on the barrage? We knew that Boss Xiu couldn't see us, but when Lin Jiashi suddenly rushed out of the corridor and turned the corner to face Boss Xiu, Boss Xiu looked calm, as if he had expected it, and was not scared at all. 】
[How would Boss Xiu answer? This seemed like a big trap no matter how you looked at it. However, the atmosphere was too awkward. Boss Xiu's eyes turned cold, and he must be unhappy. 】
Lin Jiashi: “…”
Damn it, eight full seconds have already passed, Shen Xiushen's cold eyes almost froze me into ice chips, why can't I just say a word!
Is that intentional?
Lin Jiashi felt every second was like an year.
Shen Xiu prepared himself mentally for a few seconds before he recovered from the shock and fright. Looking at Lin Jiashi in front of him, he still didn't quite understand why Lin Jiashi asked such a question.
After all, he never considered Lin Jiashi as his teammate from the beginning to the end.
But since Lin Jiashi asked, Chen Xiu organized his words in his mind and said truthfully with a stiff face: "I saw Ying Ziang's efforts, his sense of belief, and his stable emotions."
Ying Ziang, who knew that his dancing was not good but still persisted and did not stop, had a strong sense of belief and was emotionally stable.
Such people have great potential for developing their stage-building abilities.
Phew...it was such a long speech, finally finished, good job!
System: [That sounds quite convincing. 】
Chen Xiu: [......] This system can't be handled, it always destroys other platforms.
Lin Jiashi: “….”
I see. This is hinting at the two things he did: he was lazy and didn't go to class that day, and he broke down and threw his headphones during the AI evaluation!
Regarding this latter incident, Chen Xiu left early. Who told Chen Xiu about it?
'He's a better fit for my team than you are'
'Because you didn't look at me and missed my sight, you chose him'
'Why should I tell you the reason? '
'From what position do you ask this? '
Before coming to see Chen Xiu, Lin Jiashi had imagined many answers, but he never expected that Chen Xiu would give this one.
Every word had nothing to do with him, as if he had never been considered.
Lin Jiashi clenched his hands at his sides into fists, with a stubborn expression. He bit his lower lip and slowly lowered his head.
From the camera in the live broadcast room, Lin Jiashi looked like a pitiful little animal who was abandoned, dejected and unwilling to admit defeat.
...I have already answered it myself, why is he still blocking the way?
Shen Xiu was speechless.
[Boss Xiu's expression was still as cold as ever, and he was not affected by Lin Jiashi's pitiful appearance at all. This... Lin Jiashi must be feeling very disappointed. 】
[A passerby who accidentally clicked in couldn't help but say something extra, saying that the guy you call Brother Xiu seemed to have answered everything fine. Who is this Lin Jiashi? Why is he blocking the road with such an aggrieved look on his face? 】
[That’s right. If it were me, for the sake of the team, I would definitely choose someone who works hard. I don’t say he has to be great, but at least he has the attitude. This time, I would choose Ying Ziang as the boss. 】
Shen Xiu felt that he probably didn't have the courage to wake up someone who was determined to block his way.
If he can't afford to offend him, he can just take a detour.
When passing by Lin Jiashi, Shen Xiu suddenly remembered something and looked up. When he saw the camera in front of him, he narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped.
[Why did you suddenly stop? Did Boss Xiu want to go back and comfort Lin Jiashi? 】
[Oh my god, this look that suddenly becomes cold when he raises his eyes is amazing! 】
[Don't comfort him. It was obvious that Lin Jiashi didn't consider Boss Xiu's situation and insisted on asking. Lin Jiashi was the first to be cruel. He doesn't deserve comfort. 】
Staring at the camera, Shen Xiu remembered that there was no camera in the short corridor where he came out of the interview room after the interview.
The part where Lin Jiashi suddenly appeared and stopped him was facing the camera.
Anger made Shen Xiu blurt out, his voice unconsciously tinged with coldness: “Lin Jiashi.”
Lin Jiashi, who was lowering his head and was anxiously wondering why Chen Xiu had left, suddenly heard Chen Xiu's voice.
"What, what's wrong?" Should I comfort him?
Lin Jiashi's voice was obviously choked with sobs.
Shen Xiu: "Your question is not very rigorous."
"Um?"
Lin Jiashi was confused, Shen Xiu's cold tone gave him a bad feeling.
Shen Xiu, who was controlled by the angry emotion, became extremely aggressive as if conditioned.
"To be more precise, you should ask 'Why is it Ying Ziang, and not any of the others in our F class', instead of 'Why is it Ying Ziang, and not me'."
"If you hide yourself behind the group and earn a reputation as standing up for the F class group, will that make the audience in the live broadcast room have a better and more profound impression of you, huh?"
Lin Jiashi's heart sank as his purpose was ruthlessly exposed.
Chen Xiu: "Next time, think it through before asking."
"Besides, I never considered you. My eyes just passed in front of you and fell on Ying Ziang. Your question was invalid from the beginning."
Shen Xiu was very angry about being treated like a fool and plotted against. He was a taciturn person and would get nervous when there were a lot of people around and didn't want to speak much for fear of saying the wrong thing or stuttering, etc. But that didn't mean he was really stupid, and it didn't mean he wouldn't quarrel.
System: [It turns out that you are not a mute person who can’t say a word even if you are hit three times with a stick. You will explode after one stick. 】
After releasing the attack skill, Shen Xiu's head was buzzing.
Did he have a quarrel?
Looking back... well, it went pretty well.
He has made progress!
Let's go before Lin Jiashi comes to his senses. If Lin Jiashi recovers and continues to argue, it would be embarrassing if he fails or stutters because of being too anxious.
Chen Xiu didn't bother to deal with the system. He withdrew his gaze from the camera and controlled his stiff legs to leave the corridor.
He, he guessed it all!
Shen Xiu's cold and aggressive words shocked Lin Jiashi, and he didn't recover until Shen Xiu's back disappeared.
[Oh shit!] ! ! Who understands the look in Mr. Xiu’s eyes when he suddenly looked up at the camera just now? I was so scared that even through the camera I could feel that Master Xiu’s cold eyes were staring at me! 】
[Boss Xiu spoke in a cold and nonchalant tone, but I didn't expect that every word he said was fatal. The last sentence was so heartbreaking, hahahaha Lin Jiashi was dumbfounded, and that one 'Huh? 'The rhetorical question contained cold and ruthless sarcasm and a strong warning, absolutely amazing! 】
[I finally understand what's weird about Lin Jiashi. Thinking carefully, did Boss Xiu say a lot to him? Not much, right? Why does Lin Jiashi always act like he is very familiar with Master Xiu in front of other trainees? Anyway, I felt refreshed and comfortable after listening to it! 】
【Boss Xiu: Ha, stupid. 】
[When I first heard Xia Wenhao say 'I won't take advantage of you by using your camera', I guessed it. How could someone in a trance walk to Class A where there are few people? He is always awkward, unlike Xia Wenhao who is open and straightforward. The last one and the gap between them and the top one, the sense of fate and difference comes out all at once. The purpose should be too obvious. 】
Yu Xiangwan came out of the interview room after packing up her things. When she looked up, she saw a person standing in the corner and almost had a heart attack.
Yu Xiangwan patted his chest and said, "Lin Jiashi, why are you here?"
Shouldn't we be familiarizing ourselves with the song in the practice room with our new teammates now?
Hearing the voice, Lin Jiashi came back to his senses from a daze.
He had to admit that this time, he...failed.
Lin Jiashi forced a stiff smile: "No, nothing. Goodbye, sister." After saying that, she turned and left the corridor.
He couldn't imagine how the audience in the live broadcast room viewed him now.
Arriving at the door of 'Chen Xiu Team', Chen Xiu's spirit returned to his place, and he once again became the Chen Xiu who had previously cowered in his 'shell'. Before knocking on the door and entering, he had to prepare himself mentally for three seconds at the door.
System: [You have very little time to succeed. 】
Chen Xiu: […It’s better to say that the cooldown time after using the ultimate skill is a little bit longer. 】
The door of the practice room was pushed open, and the eight people in the room subconsciously looked towards the door, meeting Shen Xiu's cold face and indifferent gaze as if he didn't care about anything.
No matter how many times they see it, they can never look straight at it.
Even when I saw Shen Xiu pursing his lips and looking cold, it took courage to talk to him.
Some people greeted with a stiff voice, and some smiled with a stiff face.
“I’m back.”
"The cards are on the multimedia table."
Shen Xiu responded awkwardly: “Yeah.”
Hearing Shen Xiu's indifferent response, everyone felt even more embarrassed. They didn't know what to say for a moment, and they all looked away to look out the window or lowered their heads to pretend to be busy.
Everyone stopped looking at him, and Shen Xiu's heart gradually calmed down. He couldn't help but show off to the system: [Look at what a group of good teammates I chose! 】
Chen Xiu was finally able to look around the room with a relaxed mood. Not seeing Xiang Yueting, he felt even more relaxed and walked towards the multimedia station with a happy pace.
In front of the multimedia equipment table, Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and saw the song title "Bloody Romance" on the card.
Being at a loss, Shen Xiu had a bad feeling.
[Hahaha, "Blood Romance", is it the "Blood Romance" that I know? Hahaha, I suspect that the program crew is deliberately making things difficult for Boss Xiu, and I have evidence! 】
[It’s so funny. I remember the author of Bloody Romance said this is a song of death, but I prefer to call it a song of social death, hahahaha]
[Curious, is it that powerful?] I'll go take a look. 】
A few minutes later, the curious audience who went to check the song details came back.
[I just want to say: eyes, my eyes! 】
[It's so eye-catching. In just three and a half minutes, I dug my way out of the underground castle with my toes. My mom doesn't have to worry about me sleeping on the streets anymore! 】
[What genius wrote this evil song? I feel sorry for Master Xiu for a second. Even Master Xiu can't save this song. 】
Bang!
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Xiang Yueting's figure appeared at the door.
Xiang Yueting immediately saw the tall figure on the multimedia equipment table, holding something in his arms and placing it on the table not far away.
Buwang said to Chen Xiu: "I went to Song Chengwang's team to inquire about the enemy situation. Damn it, he actually tried to trick me. After knowing that the song our group was singing was "Bloody Romance", he laughed so hard that he crowed."
"What's even more abominable is that when I came out, he patted me on the shoulder and told me to fend for myself. I was totally confused."
Tell him what to do? Shen Xiu didn't know how to answer, so he just said "oh".
However, after listening to Xiang Yueting's words, Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and stared at the four words "Blood Romance" on the pure black card in his hand, and the ominous premonition in his heart intensified.
"You walk too fast." Zhou Tong also appeared at the door with something in his hand and complained to Xiang Yueting. After complaining, he saw Shen Xiu and his lazy body couldn't help but stand up straight.
"Chen Xiu, you're back."
"Yeah." Shen Xiu responded. He was not used to everyone calling out to him when they saw him. In order to avoid Zhou Tong's sight, his eyes fell on the things in Zhou Tong's arms.
A bunch of bottles, cans and things in boxes, what are they?
Zhou Tong explained: "I asked the production team for these after seeing our group's stage performance repertoire."
Zhou Tong put the things on the table and said, "I think it might be useful."
Shen Xiu was shocked. After being in the program crew for so long, this was the first time he knew he could get things from the program crew. He looked at Zhou Tong with admiration.
He sighed in his heart once again, at least in the matter of teammates, God has been kind to him!
Zhou Tong: “…”
It’s over. Did I say something wrong? Why did Shen Xiu suddenly look at him coldly?
Zhou Tong was confused and looked at other people.
Others also shook their heads secretly. How could they know what Shen Xiu was thinking!
Xiang Yueting thought of Song Chengwang's words, still a little worried, and asked Shen Xiu: "Is this song scary?"
Shen Xiu operated his fingers on the screen of the multimedia device, searching for the song: “Watch it first.”
After hearing Shen Xiu's words, the people in the room automatically found a place to sit cross-legged in front of the large screen on the wall.
Chen Xiu clicked the three-second play button, stepped down from the stage, and sat on the side.
As someone who had accidentally watched the original MV of "Blood Romance" before joining the program team, Zhou Tong silently closed the door of the practice room and sat in the last row to reduce eye damage.
After three and a half minutes, the entire MV was finished.
I would think of the scenes and songs I had just seen. The silence in the entire practice room was deafening and no one spoke.
Chen Xiu sat to the side, his body stiffly sitting on the chair, his eyes fixed on the MV that was automatically playing for the second time, doubting his life.
The lyrics are well written, and the atmosphere they want to express is also very good, but... who can tell him why one song contains elements of werewolves, vampires, zombies, clowns, magicians, demons, etc.!
What kind of hotchpotch is this?
Chen Xiu just wanted to ask, is the mental state of the person who wrote the song still OK?
No, it should be the person who chose this song for the stage performance. Is he really in a good mental state?
"A-choo..." At this moment, the young director behind the scenes suddenly sneezed: "Who, who is thinking about me?"
The assistant director thought of the entire talent show process planned by the chief director, and thought to himself: Missing you? You're dreaming too much, I'd rather scold you.
Chen Xiu in the practice room looked at the MV that was still playing and became very depressed.
No wonder the production team said this was the most difficult song. Shen Xiu now wondered if he had done something wrong in his previous life.
The MV was played for the third time and the group members couldn't stand it anymore. Their eyes and their mental state were strongly impacted. If they kept watching it, the floor of the practice room would be pierced by their toes.
But... Chen Xiu didn't say anything, didn't ask to stop, they didn't dare to turn it off, they were so embarrassed by the MV of "Blood Romance" that they secretly looked at Chen Xiu.
I found that Shen Xiu was staring at the MV expressionlessly, without any embarrassment or unbearable expression on his face.
Team members: “…”
They were careless, it was their fault, they didn't have enough concentration. Look at Shen Xiu, he was watching the song so seriously, it seemed like he didn't think there was anything wrong with the song at all.
Although... this MV is really sick, it really has the second-year syndrome...
But can you say it doesn't belong to music? As long as you have a sincere love for the stage and music and a desire to explore, there is nothing to be embarrassed about!
As members of Shen Xiu's team, they cannot embarrass Shen Xiu!
With this mentality, the members of Team Chen Xiu raised their heads and forced themselves to look at the MV that was being played for the fourth time.
Three seconds later, the team members' faces twisted, and a piece of 'Pain Mask' equipment automatically appeared on their faces.
[Are they...in good spirits?] 】
[What the hell is this? I wasn't this sick even when I was in my chuunibyou period. This is mental pollution, right? 】
[This MV of "Blood Romance" reminds me of the fear of being dominated by myself during the non-mainstream period. 】
When the MV was played for the eighth time, Shen Xiu regained his composure. At this moment, he finally understood what the real "dance of demons" meant, and he had the urge to call a mental hospital for the idols in the MV.
Chen Xiu, who was so embarrassed that his scalp and feet were numb, walked forward and turned off the MV of "Dancing Demons".
The moment the MV was closed, the members secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted their numb faces, and felt hopeless.
If they continue listening, they will really be embarrassed to the point of suffocation!
When they thought that this would be their first public performance, they really wanted to die.
With a song like this, they will lose, right? !
[It’s finally over!] If I continue watching, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and will block this live broadcast room. 】
[I admire Boss Xiu’s mentality. 】
[Maybe...this is what a big shot is. No matter how eye-catching something is, he won't feel anything no matter how many times he watches it. 】
The screen was filled with comments like "I'm convinced".
at the same time.
Lin Jiashi returned to the practice room where Zhuang Yi's team was.
Zhuang Yi saw Lin Jiashi and asked, "Where have you been?"
Lin Jiashi forced a smile and said, "Sorry, Brother Zhuang, I have to go out for something. I'm sorry."
Zhuang Yi looked at Lin Jiashi's pale face and forced smile, feeling puzzled. He just asked why Lin Jiashi looked like he was bullying someone.
Zhuang Yi softened his tone: "It's okay, I just wanted to say, remember to tell me next time you leave. I didn't see you when I called the number just now, so I asked you when you came back."
"Well, I know, it's my problem." Lin Jiashi admitted his mistake with a good attitude.
Zhuang Yi didn't say anything else to Lin Jiashi. He walked to the multimedia equipment, looked at the team members below and said, "Now that everyone is here, start watching the stage performance repertoire you have drawn, and then discuss it after you finish watching it."
"good!"
In the practice room, members of Zhuang Yi's team stared at the screen quietly.
Lin Jiashi sat in the last seat, and his eyes could not help but move from the screen to the eight members other than himself. In Class F, he was absolutely confident that he was the most eye-catching one.
He has a refined sense of fashion, knows how to capture the camera, and can proactively create harmless hot topics and explosive points. His abilities are acceptable.
Even Ke Zian, the only distinctive and cute student in Class F, has become his foil and cannot take away any of his brilliance.
But now, apart from his hair dyed pink and white, his abilities are unremarkable.
No, it was just a crash, no big deal, he couldn't just give up!
"Lin Jiashi...Lin Jiashi?" Zhuang Yi frowned and called Lin Jiashi several times.
Lin Jiashi was pushed by the trainee in front of him, and then he came back to his senses. Seeing Zhuang Yi's frown, he was at a loss: "Ah..."
Zhuang Yi repeated: "What do you think?"
Lin Jiashi was even more confused. He looked at the MV and realized that it had ended without him noticing.
He was just thinking about how to turn the tide, and didn't look carefully at what was put in there. How could he have any idea? He gritted his teeth and said, "I..."
Snap!
Song Chengwang knocked a few times hurriedly outside, then opened the door of the practice room and interrupted Lin Jiashi: "Zhuang Yi, let's go, hurry up, let's go to Shen Xiu to watch his show!"
I wish all the babies a happy Dragon Boat Festival with delicious rice dumplings! Good evening!
