Premiere 1
When Lin Jiashi saw Shen Xiu, his heart skipped a beat. He was frightened and broke down.
Please, Ke Zian, what's wrong with you? Whether it's in the dormitory or the practice room, don't you like to open the door the most? What caused you to lose touch today?
Moreover, the person he came to see was Ke Zian, so why did Shen Xiu come out to open the door? Which captain needs to open the door himself?
Or... Chen Xiu knew that it was him who knocked on the door and deliberately opened the door to annoy him?
Having been exposed by Shen Xiu not long ago, and now being looked down upon by Shen Xiu, Lin Jiashi felt very uncomfortable.
He uttered with difficulty: "I, I'm here to find Ke Zian."
Lin Jiashi, who realized he was stuttering after he finished speaking, became even more irritable. Shen Xiu must have looked down on him even more in his heart.
Shen Xiu: “He’s not here.”
"Ah...Oh, so that's the case. I'll come again tomorrow." He never came again!
Lin Jiashi turned around and left after he finished speaking, feeling extremely regretful. Although Shen Xiu's voice was very calm from beginning to end, his expression was cold and arrogant.
He was nervous and worried that what happened in the corridor would happen again.
Lin Jiashi cursed himself in his heart. It was all his fault that he was too impatient today. He wanted to find Ke Zian earlier to inquire about the situation of Chen Xiu's team. As expected, he was too impatient and was insulted by Chen Xiu for no reason.
Looking at Lin Jiashi's leaving back, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He protected the group's reputation!
Thinking of Lin Jiashi's sudden visit, Shen Xiu became worried and decided to shamelessly ask the program staff for a lock when he finished the arrangement and left.
Temporarily lock up the room belonging to their group to avoid any possibility of embarrassment in advance!
[The conjoined twins are worthy of their reputation. Baby Jia Shi must be missing his little friend. It’s all because Shen Xiu is too scary. Why scare the child?]
[I said, some people, don’t be too outrageous]
[Who is mean? I am like this. He is not worthy of my eyes. If he hadn't appeared in front of me several times, who would remember who he is? 】
[Stop arguing, sisters. Why did Boss Xiu lock the door? Shit, what secret weapon is hidden in there? 】
[The door was locked just after Lin Jiashi came, so...is this to protect against Lin Jiashi? 】
Except for Xiang Yueting, everyone else in Class A was a team leader and was very busy. When Shen Xiu returned to the dormitory after dinner, Class A's dormitory was empty.
After washing his face, Chen Xiu took the key and returned to the practice room again. He sat in front of the multimedia equipment table and started making PPT.
Shen Xiu's tricky operation confused the system.
System: [What are you doing? 】
Last time you used paper to transcribe the song and dance, this time you used PPT directly?
Even the stage positions were drawn one by one on paper, and then scanned and imported as pictures and put into the PPT.
[I advise you not to go too far!] 】
This was a boy band audition, how did Shen Xiu turn it into an academic study?
Shen Xiu was not convinced, his hands kept moving, and he retorted: “How can this be considered outrageous?”
As a college student majoring in film and television culture, he has done countless assignments such as film appreciation, script writing, gg shooting, short drama shooting, short film analysis, video editing, etc. He is also professional in PS posters.
How could he not know what kind of stage is good-looking, what kind of protagonist has visual impact, and what kind of role is unforgettable at first sight?
He knew it, but his team members might not know it, so he had to break down what was in his mind one by one in a straightforward way and show it to his team members.
"System, please don't doubt my professionalism! And don't insult my desire to be a director. From now on, I am the director of Bloody Romance!"
As a 'director', of course you have to make your 'actors' understand what your 'story' wants to convey to the audience, so that the audience doesn't think that they and their 'acting' are bad.
system:【......】
So, the trend now has become that a college student who doesn’t want to be a director is not a good idol?
You win. 】
Shen Xiu was satisfied and worked even harder.
With his own life and the reputation of the entire group at stake, he absolutely could not fail!
According to Chen Xiu's previous experience of watching "Blood Romance" for several hours, Chen Xiu believes that "Blood Romance" is a song with a high proportion of vocals, and the dance moves are not difficult, just awkward.
From the people in the MV to their dance moves, including their facial expressions when they start singing, the emotions they convey are all awkward, which is incompatible with the content of the lyrics.
They themselves feel ashamed, so how could the viewers not find it offensive?
What Chen Xiu needed to do was to use the costumes and props to make some slight modifications to the awkward and abrupt movements of each character in the original MV, so that they would completely blend in with the meaning of the song.
At the very least, when performing on stage, the fusion of vocal and dance must be harmonious, smooth and natural. As the protagonists, they must have firm beliefs and bring the audience into the fantastical and strange night described in the lyrics, so that the audience will not get goose bumps and want to rinse their eyes with the faucet when watching.
It needed to be broken down and unfolded from the beginning to the end, which was a huge project. When Chen Xiu finished his work in the practice room and looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Considering that everyone in the dormitory had fallen asleep at this time, and the air-conditioning in the practice room was kept at a constant temperature, so it wouldn't feel cold. Shen Xiu simply didn't go back to the dormitory, turned off the multimedia equipment, sat on the chair, leaned on the table, and closed his eyes.
The next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Shen Xiu opened his eyes, and his limbs automatically executed the commands in his brain. He opened the door of the practice room while rubbing his sore shoulders. When he left, he did not forget to lock it before walking towards the dormitory.
[Seven o’clock?] Did Shen Xiu come to the practice room so early? 】
[Night Owl said that Brother Xiu did not return to the dormitory last night and has not come out until now. No one knows what he is doing in there. 】
[Are you really that determined?] 】
[Brother Xiu wants to revitalize "Blood Romance"]
It was seven o'clock in the morning. Shang Yu had just sat up from the bed. His hand subconsciously groped around his body. After touching the air, he realized belatedly that this was not his home and there were no glasses placed by the housekeeper next to him.
Shang Yu woke up.
Shang Yu, who had just woken up, saw the dormitory door opened and Shen Xiu walked in quietly from outside.
As soon as Chen Xiu entered the dormitory, he met Shang Yu's confused gaze. He pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly at Shang Yu, greeted him silently, then quickly walked to his closet, gently took his clothes and went into the bathroom.
He was thankful that everyone else was still asleep, Shang Yu was not in a position to speak out loud, and he also avoided socializing.
Watching Chen Xiu's back as he took his clothes into the bathroom, Shang Yu's gaze fell on Chen Xiu's bed next to him.
The quilt on Chen Xiu's bed was folded like a block of tofu, and the sheets didn't have a single wrinkle.
All signs indicate that Shen Xiu did not come back last night.
Business metaphor: "......"
Very good, the King of Rolls has improved his roll level again. How can they survive?
[I saw these words on Shang Yu’s face: Xiu, or else you’d better just roll me to death! 】
[Shang Yu: Chen Xiu must be a devil, he must be! 】
[Business metaphor: If you see a ghost, don’t you need to sleep? 】
Shang Yu dragged his tired body out of bed. He really wanted to wake up the roommates who were still sleeping soundly and tell them: How can you sleep with a successful person like Chen Xiu by your side!
After taking a shower, Chen Xiu felt much better. After washing up as quickly as possible, Chen Xiu and Shang Yu said hello in a low voice, left the dormitory and went to the cafeteria.
After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Chen Xiu went to the practice room and disappeared from the sight of the audience in the live broadcast room. From yesterday to today, Chen Xiu appeared under the camera for no more than two hours.
[Boss Xiu, you have such a cruel heart! 】
[I never thought that one day, just wanting to see Master Xiu more would become a luxury. 】
[Program team, I hate you!] 】
Starting at eight in the morning, team members began to enter the practice room.
In addition to Shen Xiu, Xiang Yueting, who came in first, saw the practice room that had changed drastically and widened his eyes: "What's going on?"
If Chen Xiuru hadn't been busy with something in front of the multimedia equipment table with his head down, like a great god who could not be ignored, Xiang Yueting would have suspected that he had walked into the wrong practice room.
Hearing Xiang Yueting's voice, Chen Xiu looked up at Xiang Yueting and signaled with his eyes: "Each member's assigned part is over there."
After saying that, Shen Xiu lowered his head and continued to work.
Xiang Yueting looked at the place where Shen Xiu had looked, walked over with full of doubts, and found the one with his name on it on a pile of printed papers.
After Xiang Yueting finished reading his part, he also read everyone else's.
After watching it, Xiang Yueting found it was not difficult to find that Shen Xiu divided the parts according to the roles assigned to each of them yesterday. The werewolves sang the words that belonged to the werewolves, and the zombies sang the words that belonged to the zombies, and the chorus sang twice.
"Blood Romance" is a group portrait song centered on vampires. Except for the vampires who have the most scenes, the other characters have almost the same roles.
There is absolutely no problem with Chen Xiu's division.
People came in one after another. Every person who came in later saw Shen Xiu, who seemed to have his own cool aura, and not only did they not dare to disturb him, but also turned straight towards Yue Ting.
They didn't know why, but whenever Shen Xiu was around, the atmosphere would unconsciously become tense.
Zhou Tong: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Qian: "When did the captain come? Who drew these things on the ground? Who placed them there?"
Ke Zian: "Hey, this is my part!"
Xia Wenhao: "Who moved the prepared performance stage to our practice room?"
Ying Ziang: "What do the route below the lyrics, the round-headed stickman on the route, and the time marked above the stickman mean?"
Xiang Yueting, who arrived earlier, replied in a low voice: "Chen Xiu painted it, Chen Xiu moved it, and Chen Xiu arranged it. It was like this when I came. I didn't participate in it at all. I don't know the other details."
In the countryside where the friends were shocked, Xiang Yueting distributed the printed papers of the parts divided by Shen Xiu to the friends who came later one by one: "Now, do you have any questions?"
Everyone: “…No more.”
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their mind: Shen Xiu, amazing!
Following a big boss who arranges everything for them, which is like feeding them food, what problems could they have?
Just be the boss’s leg pendant!
Shen Xiu has worked tirelessly to save the King of Social Death performance repertoire, and they must not fall behind!
The printed lyrics are obviously easier to accept than watching the MV directly, and everyone watched it carefully.
“When I read it alone, I actually thought it was very well written.”
"It's really good. The reason why I thought it was because of the death was because of the MV."
At nine o'clock, all members arrived and Shen Xiu stood up.
The members noticed Shen Xiu standing up, and subconsciously stood up and looked at him, but they didn't dare to look into his eyes and chose to look at his nose.
Shen Xiu, who had just stood up, said: "......"
Why are they all suddenly staring at me? It's very serious.
It was so serious that he was a little nervous and almost forgot what he was going to do when he stood up.
Chen Xiu, who was frightened by the group members, thought for two seconds, remembered, and said in the shortest possible sentence: "Everyone, go through the PPT with me."
PPT?
When these three words came out, the members of the group were obviously stunned.
This... is it sure that this is a boy band talent show and not some school class?
People in other groups would never have imagined that, under the leadership of Shen Xiu, their group had evolved from a handicraft class to a PPT class.
Chen Xiu followed the style he used to follow when he was on stage explaining group work in class. He opened the PPT and began to analyze the MV scenes and the first line of the lyrics one by one.
“The original stage cut was too abrupt, making the audience feel almost no sense of immersion, so I changed it to…”
"It's too weird to sing the opening lyrics directly, they should add..."
The low and cold voice seemed to have an inexplicable magic that made people listen carefully unconsciously. In addition, Shen Xiu's cold eyes swept across the whole room from time to time, making the members of the "class" dare not slack off at all.
Chen Xiu felt that he had finished what he wanted to say for the next week. His throat was dry, and he finally finished the PPT that he had spent several hours making last night after half an hour.
The room was originally used to play large videos of MVs, but now it was displaying PPT pages.
The PPT has been redesigned to categorize each person's assigned part into different categories, with each having its own exclusive page, making it convenient for members to open and consolidate.
Chen Xiu spoke very well and his PPT was also very well done, with accurate analysis of every second of action and every transition.
Even the minutes and seconds at which the lights above the stage turned on and off were clearly marked on the PPT page.
No matter who it is, one can understand it at a glance.
He transcribed the music, changed the movements, altered the lyrics, and marked them bit by bit. Chen Xiu wrote down clearly the stage effects they wanted to present from beginning to end on the performance stage.
With such a detailed and huge workload, how long did Shen Xiu have to endure last night?
While the members were in awe of Shen Xiu, they also felt guilty. It must have been very hard for Shen Xiu to take care of all these things by himself.
After explaining the stage effects he wanted and each member's 'role', Shen Xiu said: "These are all small things."
Members: “?”
A strong man is worthy of being a strong man, this can be regarded as a trivial matter.
No one speaking? Why doesn't anyone ask themselves 'what is the big deal'?
Looking at the members below, Shen Xiu fell silent. They did not play according to the routine he had imagined at all!
All right, he continued on his own, and after a while he got used to it a little bit.
Shen Xiu gritted his teeth and said, “The most important thing is that starting from today’s practice, each of you must develop a strong sense of faith.”
After saying that, Shen Xiu glanced down, stared at the printed 'speech', and read it.
"I have transformed the practice room into a small premiere stage. The positions marked with chalk on the floor are where the lights will be projected from above the actual performance stage. I have marked each person's movement route and position, when to move, and what movements to make on the part paper that each of you has received. I hope you will memorize them."
"If you don't understand, you can look at the PPT."
"I want you to treat every practice session from now on as your debut, so please wear the clothes we have modified."
Sorry, not only does he have to get used to it by himself, he also has to drag his poor teammates to get used to it with him.
After all, this song could not have been completed without a firm sense of conviction like Ying Ziang's.
After digesting the food fed to them by the boss, the team members said: We have turned the tide and victory is in sight!
Everyone became excited.
"good!"
"no problem!"
“Don’t worry, Shen Xiu, we can do it!”
Shen Xiu was startled by the sudden loud response from his team members.
Chen Xiu: ...It seems that I underestimated everyone's sense of belief. At least...this full-blooded spirit is much stronger than mine.
"Well... let's get changed and get started."
It’s shameful, let’s fight it out!
In the next four days, the trainees from other groups thought that Shen Xiu's team would never recover because they had chosen the most masculine and weird song.
However...they saw that every member of the Shen Xiu team was full of energy and seemed to be full of energy every day.
Even Ying Ziang, the most gloomy member of Shen Xiu's group, had eyes that were so bright that they all exclaimed that it was scary.
"They...are brainwashed?"
"I think it's more like I took the wrong medicine."
"I don't believe that the dead can be revived. I think they are just having a last gasp."
"Damn it, they are such a secretive group. They lock the door every day. I can't see them even if I want to. I'm so curious."
Under the strong curiosity of each group, everyone unanimously decided to send trainees to inquire about the news from the members of Shen Xiu's group.
The members of Shen Xiu's group kept their mouths shut. Until the first performance five days later, the other eleven groups were unable to successfully pry any useful information out of the members of Shen Xiu's group.
"The Invincible Boy" premiered.
The host looked at the list in his hand and read it out loud to the audience: "Let us invite the members of Team Chen Xiu and Team Zhuang Yi from the first group match to come on stage and say hello to our audiences in the live broadcast room!"
Amid the cheers of the audience, Chen Xiu and Zhuang Yi walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, one on the left and one on the right, with members of their team.
When he came to inspect the stage terrain before, Chen Xiu saw the open-air stage and countless seats, and guessed that there would be more people at the first performance than before.
But Shen Xiu never expected that what they faced today was not a large crowd, but a huge sea of people.
He walked to the center of the stage with stiff steps, facing the strong visual impact brought by the huge crowds of people.
Shen·Inner earthquake·So many people, so scared·Soul out of body, expressionless·Xiu.jpg
Thank you, he has become nothing in the metaphysical sense! Chen Xiu couldn't hear what the audience was shouting. He was so nervous that the only sound in his head was the buzzing sound of a bee.
During this period of training, Chen Xiu had obviously become the backbone of the other eight members of Chen Xiu's team.
No matter what situation they face, as long as they see Shen Xiu is there, they will gradually develop a sense of security.
It was the first time for someone as lively as Xiang Yueting to face so many audiences, but he was so nervous that he kept swallowing.
At this moment, the teammates subconsciously looked at Shen Xiu for a sense of security.
Seeing Shen Xiu looking at the audience with indifferent eyes and a calm expression without the slightest panic, the teammates' heartbeats, which were pounding due to nervousness, began to gradually stabilize.
'Chen Xiu was so calm, and it was obvious that he had seen big scenes before. Sure enough, such a small stage was not to his liking. '
'If Chen Xiu doesn't panic, I can't panic either! '
'We must not embarrass the captain! '
The members of Chen Xiu's team seemed to be injected with strength. They held their heads high and stared straight ahead, imitating Chen Xiu's look.
"Wow, Boss Xiu is so calm. Which entertainment company is cultivating this future star? I'm so curious!"
“Ahhh, I can finally feel the aura of Boss Xiu live. He is indeed a big boss. Facing so many of us, he is not panicked at all.”
"I saw it with my own eyes. Xiu's teammates were panicking at first, but they calmed down after looking at Xiu."
"If I had a big guy like this to lead me, I wouldn't panic. Woohoo, I envy Big Boss Xiu's teammates!"
"But... Xiu Xiu got a non-mainstream song this time, so I'm a little worried..."
Shen Xiu had no idea how he greeted the audience or how he returned to the backstage. During that time, his brain was so damaged that he just did whatever the host asked them to do.
Backstage.
After coming back and starting to do each other's makeup for a minute, Chen Xiu, who was sitting in front of the mirror and having Zhou Tong help him put on a wig, finally came back to his senses from his trance.
Thinking of the huge crowds of people he saw when greeting the audience before the performance, Shen Xiu looked at his busy team members and felt even more uneasy.
It was all his fault. Not only did he get picked to compete against Zhuang Yi's team, he also got picked to be the first group to perform on stage.
Shen Xiu was so unlucky that he wanted to cry. He hoped that his team members would not blame him!
At this moment, the staff is preparing to go on stage to set up the stage according to his requirements. During the time when the stage is set up, they have 20 minutes to put on makeup. When the time is up, they will start the first performance on stage.
Shen Xiu was so nervous that his voice was stiff: "Everyone, do you have confidence?"
As they were about to go on stage, the team members were already nervous, and were suddenly swept by Shen Xiu's red pupils, and heard Shen Xiu's cold voice that seemed to carry a cold threat.
Suddenly, I felt a kind of fear that I was under pressure from the vampire himself.
Everyone was on edge, tensing their bodies unconsciously, their hearts sank.
Chen Xiu fed the food directly into their mouths, and the only thing missing was helping them chew and swallow. He even drew out their standing and moving positions on the stage, and clearly marked the locations where the lights would shine.
After so many days of repeated training like a nanny fool, if they lose the game, judging from the sinister look Chen Xiu is giving them now, he will kill them directly after stepping down!
Under the cold and sinister threat, the team members did not dare to say no and nodded collectively.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Woohoo, Shen Xiu’s expression is so scary. Who dares to say no? I will say yes even if you kill me!
Shen Xiu felt relieved. It seemed that the devilish repetitive training was indeed effective.
"Remember, from the moment we step onto the stage, you and I are both characters in the song, understand?"
The look in Chen Xiu's eyes when he looked at them was a little scary now. The team members had an illusion that Chen Xiu was more frightening to them than the "performance".
“Understood!”
In this inexplicable atmosphere, they were no longer nervous without realizing it.
Twenty minutes later, the Shen Xiu team finished their makeup and the host's voice rang out: "Next, please welcome our Shen Xiu team to bring you "Blood Romance"!"
“Ahhhh!”
"Chen Xiu, Chen Xiu!"
Hearing the host's loud voice and the audience's cheers, Team Shen Xiu had only one thought in their minds: Finally... it's started!
As they were about to go on stage, as the team leader, Shen Xiu felt that he needed to encourage his team members.
He had a lot of nice words of encouragement in his mind, but it was too difficult to say them out. After holding it in for a few seconds, Shen Xiu weakly uttered two words: "Come on, charge!"
Tomorrow is Monday (Devil's Whisper)
