Preparation for the third performance 4
Is he seeing things? Song Chengwang rubbed his eyes. It was the first time he saw someone jump into a pit on his own initiative.
When the prelude and the main verse are both bland, relying solely on the sound to attract the audience is the most masculine point of this song. If Shen Xiu fails to bewitch the audience, he may be criticized.
The part that everyone voted for Chen Xiu as the best was the beginning of the chorus in the middle, which was also the climax where the emotions of the whole song reached their peak.
The reason why everyone gave this part to Chen Xiu was, on the one hand, because according to the suggestion they made at the beginning, the positions were divided according to height. In the whole team, no matter the height, appearance or singing voice, everyone was convinced that Chen Xiu was the big C. For the sake of overall harmony, it was reasonable that the first climax of "Heaven" fell on Shen Xiu.
On the other hand, everyone tacitly agreed to compensate Shen Xiu.
After all, it’s not just the beginning that’s difficult, but also the ending.
The outro and the last few lines of lyrics return to the calmness at the beginning of "Heaven", but judging from the meaning of the lyrics, the meaning of calmness is different.
If they want a perfect ending, the pressure will fall on Shen Xiu again, and if it doesn’t end well, it will also be said to be a failure.
Each of them made the vote that they thought was most appropriate based on the singing, so when they heard Song Chengwang's vote, everyone felt guilty.
They never imagined that they all had the same idea!
Not surprisingly, in the face of an absolute number of votes, Shen Xiu sang the most difficult beginning and ending, and everyone felt guilty.
Shen Xiu waited for a long time, but Song Chengwang didn't read out his vote, and he felt confused.
After reciting for so long, Song Chengwang’s voice became hoarse?
Just when Shen Xiu was about to write down his vote on a piece of paper without waiting for Song Chengwang to read it, Lu Qian looked at the silent Song Chengwang in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Chengwang glanced at Chen Xiu and saw that Chen Xiu was still holding the pen with his eyes downcast, waiting for him to read with a calm expression.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and he spoke softly: "Nothing."
He was just shocked by Shen Xiu's answer.
“I’ll continue.” Song Chengwang finished speaking, and in front of everyone, he solemnly read out Shen Xiu’s vote.
A minute later, when Song Chengwang finished reading the last word on the paper, the members of the "Heaven" group looked at each other. At this moment, complex emotions reached a peak in their hearts.
They finally understood why Song Chengwang was stunned when he saw Shen Xiu's vote.
When it comes to Chen Xiu's own part, Chen Xiu made the same choice as the other eight people!
What’s the difference between this and knowing it’s a trap and still walking yourself into it?
At this moment, they came to their senses and discovered a fact: Shen Xiu had predicted their choice from the beginning.
So when the eight of them allocated almost the same parts to Shen Xiu, Shen Xiu remained calm from beginning to end and was not surprised at all.
While everyone was amazed, they also felt that this was very much something that Shen Xiu could do.
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds.
Shen Xiu chose to take on the most difficult part on his own initiative, and also made a firm choice for the climax of "Heaven".
On the one hand, it is definitely that Chen Xiu feels that he should take on the responsibility as a strong man, but at the same time, Chen Xiu also has a clear understanding of his own abilities and is confident enough that he can shoulder the first explosive point of "Heaven".
On the other hand, what Shen Xiu thought might be difficult for them was not worth mentioning in Shen Xiu's eyes, so he chose without scruples.
This... is the boss's style!
Therefore, their previous worries about Chen Xiu being angry were in vain. It turned out that they did not know Chen Xiu well enough. No...it should be said that the mind of a big boss is like a needle in the sea, which is hard to guess.
Chen Xiu was a very confident and strong person. They made their choice based on the voice, but they still felt guilty that they were pushing Chen Xiu into the fire pit. However, Chen Xiu himself was calm and didn't care at all.
After Shen Xiu finished writing the last vote, he quietly drew lines on the paper with another color pen to mark each person's part according to the nine votes.
Shen Xiu was so immersed in statistics that he didn't even notice the change in the looks his friends gave him.
After finishing, Shen Xiu stopped writing and looked up, only to find that everyone's eyes were on him.
Shen Xiu didn't think much about it, thinking that everyone was waiting for his statistical results.
Then he said, "We have done the statistics. Let's see if there are any problems?"
Throughout the entire process, Shen Xiu voted entirely based on the voices of the nine people and did not think there was anything wrong with his choice.
Seeing Shen Xiu's calm expression as he was calculating the results, everyone: "......"
Very good, after eye contact, they are right!
"No problem."
"That's fine, let's do it."
"That's fine with me."
"Have we divided it up?"
"Everyone has no objection, so of course we'll divide it up."
"It's 7:30 now. I'm hungry. Let's go and eat together?"
"No problem, let's go."
Shen Xiu: “…”
Have you forgotten one thing?
Chen Xiu habitually completes the plans he has made in his mind within the prescribed time, for fear of delaying his plans for tomorrow.
Worried that everyone would really leave, Shen Xiu forced himself to remind them: “The standing positions haven’t been arranged yet.”
Lu Fei slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot!"
Everyone stopped discussing what to eat tonight and started discussing the formation.
Shang Yu said, "Arrange them in an 'umbrella' shape according to their heights, it will be harmonious."
Song Chengwang simply stood in front of the mirror: "Stand in front of the mirror, and each of you find a position that suits your height."
Shen Xiu whispered: “I will ask the program team to get uniform shoes to wear when the time comes, so that it is not easy to make mistakes when everyone takes off their shoes and stands.”
Everyone's shoes are different. When standing side by side without moving, not only will the shoes be of different heights on that day, but the colors and styles will also be inconsistent, which will destroy the overall harmony.
It would be better to line up naked at the beginning, and then wear the same shoes so as not to affect the standing positions arranged today.
Everyone was hungry and didn't want to waste time, so they had no objection to what the three people said.
As for Shen Xiu's proposal, everyone was surprised and admired.
They really didn't expect such a small thing as the different heights of the shoes.
But when they thought that this was proposed by Shen Xiu, everyone suddenly felt that it was reasonable.
As the tallest person in the "Heaven" group, everyone needed Chen Xiu as the benchmark in the center of the umbrella, and subconsciously looked at Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu also understood what everyone meant, and under the fiery gazes, he stood stiffly in the middle of the mirror, making it convenient for his friends to find positions on both sides.
Everyone took off their shoes consciously, gathered around Shen Xiu to adjust their positions, and looked at Shen Xiu in the mirror from time to time to adjust his position.
Song Chengwang and Shang Yu are both 187cm tall and stand on Shen Xiu's left and right.
Chen Xiu, who served as a benchmark, stood beside him, with Song Chengwang and Shang Yu, who had already found their seats. He felt awkward and his body was stiff, standing straight as a pine tree.
Not only did he not dare to move his body, he didn't even dare to look around. He only looked at himself in the mirror, for fear of staring into the eyes of Song Chengwang and Shang Yu, which would double the embarrassment.
Please, finish it soon!
Shen Xiu had a blank expression on his face, and in his heart he prayed madly to the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, God, Angels, and other gods from the East and the West.
Five minutes later, Shen Xiu's prayer finally ended. Four people stood on each side of Shen Xiu, forming a perfect umbrella shape.
Everyone looked at Shen Xiu standing firmly in the big C in the mirror, and Shang Yu and Song Chengwang beside Shen Xiu, and sighed in their hearts.
It goes without saying that their appearance in this group is so good-looking, and more importantly, their aura is so solid that at least, it is impossible to take people's eyes off them.
After holding on for so long, Shen Xiu couldn't hold on any longer and said weakly, "Is this the end of today?"
Everyone came back to their senses when they heard Shen Xiu's usual calm and cold voice.
"It's over, it's over."
"Remember your positions, and practice using them tomorrow."
When talking about practice, everyone started talking more.
"Remember to ask the production team to provide us with a fixed long microphone placed on the ground tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I'll remember that."
"What time does it start tomorrow morning?"
"Nine?"
"No, it's too late. We only have three days to practice this time. Let's do it at eight o'clock."
"I think eight o'clock, too."
"Eight points a vote."
"OK, then eight in the morning."
Chen Xiu didn't like to talk much, and he didn't say anything since he had no objection to the time everyone had set. When everyone looked at him, Chen Xiu nodded or replied with a "hmm".
Overall, the "Heaven" team set the training time for tomorrow after a pleasant discussion.
Everyone has long been accustomed to Chen Xiu's standard of being a taciturn boss, and did not find Chen Xiu's response strange.
"We're done with today's business, let's go eat together."
"Go, go, go, I'm starving!"
"I really want to eat clay pot chicken, but the cafeteria hasn't made it yet. I don't know if it will be available in the future."
"Lu Qian, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You've already said it out loud. It's no longer a hint, it's a direct statement to the production team. In that case, I'll also make it clear that I want to eat coconut chicken!"
The members of the "Heaven" group walked out of the practice room in groups of three or four, chatting and arm in arm.
Chen Xiu lowered his head and pretended to be busy cleaning the table, but in fact he pricked up his ears to listen to the footsteps of everyone leaving.
During the lunch he and everyone had at noon, no one talked much because he was there. Shen Xiu felt embarrassed when he thought about it now.
After all, judging from the relaxed and happy atmosphere everyone was in now, no one was a talkative person, and for their comfort and his own, Shen Xiu decided not to have dinner with them in the evening.
After walking a few steps, everyone realized that there was no familiar cold feeling behind them.
Song Chengwang turned around and saw Shen Xiu lowering his head to organize his notebooks. He didn't think much about it. He just thought that Shen Xiu couldn't stand the mess, so he shouted, "Shen Xiu, let's clean up tomorrow. Let's go eat first."
Shang Yu simply turned back and helped Shen Xiu pick up the messy notebooks on the table and put them where Shen Xiu had piled them: "Okay, let's go."
Shen Xiu: “…Okay.”
Shen Xiu, who was not good at rejecting others, walked stiffly with Shang Yu towards Song Chengwang who was waiting for them by the door.
Shen Xiu thought: I am really sorry. I am going to make everyone embarrassed during dinner again because of me.
The corridor was wide, and with the door closed, the three of them could walk side by side without feeling crowded. However, because there were two people beside him, Shen Xiu was so anxious that he didn't know what topic to start a conversation with when the two of them didn't speak, and he was so embarrassed that he almost suffocated.
It’s so difficult to get him to find topics to talk about!
Because Song Chengwang was waiting for Shang Yu and Shen Xiu to pack up, he did not walk with the other members of the "Heaven" group. When they came out of the practice room, the other members of the group had already taken the elevator downstairs.
Although Song Chengwang and Shang Yu talked a lot, they didn't talk much, at least not as much as Xiang Yueting. In addition, they were already used to Shen Xiu's taciturn personality, so they didn't think about chatting and walked towards the elevator at a leisurely pace.
They didn't think it was strange to walk in silence along the way without saying anything.
Only Shen Xiu, who was not good at getting along with others and communicating, felt flustered, thinking that it was his presence that made others uncomfortable and silent.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was confused.
[Xiang Yueting and Xia Wenhao from "Honkai Impact" next door are about to fight. Although the "Heaven" group took a little longer to divide the parts, and although we don't know how they divided them, no one is fighting? 】
[I thought that where there are many bosses, there will be a lot of 'wars', but now seeing the bosses walking together in harmony, I know that my judgment was wrong. 】
[Damn it, I feel like the secret of the "Heaven" group not quarreling lies in that long and incomprehensible weird action in the afternoon, but whenever I review the game and try to guess what they did, my mind is filled with the little flowers on their lips. I'm so stupid that I can't think calmly at all! 】
[Sisters, come and watch the live broadcast room at the entrance of the training camp! The host is interviewing the trainees from the "Heaven" group! The live broadcast there not only has uncensored audio, but also uncensored mouths. Maybe it can reveal some little secrets! 】
[Wow, wow, wow. I didn’t want to miss the top three guys walking side by side, nor did I want to miss the interviews with other trainees, so I started crying. I was really embarrassed while switching between live broadcast rooms frantically! 】
At the entrance of the training camp, Yu Xiangwan had already finished interviewing the trainees from other groups, and was now blocking the entrance of the "Heaven" group with a microphone.
Yu Xiangwan is the interview host of the show "Young Man Invincible". None of the trainees who made it all the way to the third performance have not been interviewed by Yu Xiangwan.
The moment everyone saw Yu Xiangwan, they knew the interview was coming.
As trainees, everyone is happy to be interviewed in order to have enough shots in both the live broadcast and the edited version.
But at this moment, in order to maintain the sense of mystery before the third performance, the members of the "Heaven" group stopped when they were still some distance away from Yu Xiangwan, and looked at their friends around them and reminded each other cautiously.
"Let's not talk about anything about Heaven."
"OK!"
"Understood~"
"Absolutely confidential."
[No, I’m relying on you guys to spoil the story, but you guys agreed not to mention it! 】
[My heart aches.] 】
[What if, I mean what if, someone lets the cat out of the bag ~ So sisters, don’t be disappointed. 】
After reminding each other, everyone walked towards Yu Xiangwan.
Yu Xiangwan saw the members of the "Heaven" group from a distance. He looked at them through the glass with a smile as they gathered together. They looked at him with vigilance, and their expressions were tense as they walked towards him, as if they were facing a great enemy. He couldn't help but want to laugh.
She really wasn't here to spy!
"Hello, Sister Yu."
"Sister, you look so beautiful today."
When everyone came closer, they called out "Yu Xiangwan" sweetly.
"Hello, don't be nervous. I'm really not here to ask you about the third performance. I'm just here for a routine interview."
Yu Xiangwan had explained this sentence several times and said it quite skillfully.
"real?"
Yu Xiangwan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true."
"Huh... That's good. I was scared to death." Lu Qian patted his chest. "I was so afraid that if I let it slip, Brother Xiu, Brother Shang, and Brother Wang would find out. When I think of Brother Xiu's cold eyes, Brother Shang's smiling face when he looked at me, and Brother Wang's sarcastic words, I feel nervous."
Lu Qian's words were unanimously agreed by everyone.
“Who says it’s not?”
“I totally agree.”
"It's called the fatal trio."
[I would call it an accurate summary!] 】
[This is so funny. Do you want to tell everyone a piece of news? The three of them are on their way to kill us. 】
[Hehehe, I'm so bad. I really want to play this clip for the three of them, hahahaha]
[According to the intermittently unethical nature of the program crew, this segment will definitely be played to Xiu Da Lao and the other two. Apparently, at this moment the crew members are still unaware of the program crew's sinister intentions. 】
"Haha..." Yu Xiangwan laughed at the trainees' serious look and asked, "Does anyone have any memorable experience in the practice room of the Heaven group?"
Afraid that everyone might misunderstand, Yu Xiangwan explained: "I'm just asking about the most memorable things. You don't have to mention the arrangements for your third performance."
Speaking of impressive things, everyone instantly thought of Shen Xiu’s proposal, including the detail that Shen Xiu reminded them to take off their shoes and find a place to stand.
Zhuang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Yu Xiangwan was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
There was a dim light in Zhuang Yi's eyes as he looked towards the camera. Unable to tell the specific events, he could only give vague answers.
"I laugh at myself, because I find that now no matter what Shen Xiu does, when I am surprised and admire him, I will be deeply impressed and will not feel it is unreasonable."
Everyone seemed to have opened up their conversations, and Lu Fei next to him also said: "Anything, as long as Chen Xiu brought it up, a sentence would automatically appear in my mind, 'It was Chen Xiu who brought it up or did it, then it's okay'. This feeling, I think, is impressive enough."
“I totally agree!”
"To be honest, I was really lucky this time. I was immediately chosen by the European Emperor to be in a group with the big guys. I will never forget this good luck."
"Everyone didn't quarrel, and used the calmest and most rational method..."
Before Ke Zian could finish his words, Lu Qian covered his mouth with his hand. Lu Qian looked at the camera and smiled: "Hahaha, he didn't say anything!"
[It’s so funny, you still have to look at me, Anzai.] 】
[The strongest gap in the little secret of the "Heaven" group has appeared~]
[Qianbao, although I like you very much, I will like you even more if you let go of Anzi’s mouth (innocent blink)]
With his mouth covered, Ke Zian realized belatedly what he almost said and looked at Lu Qian with gratitude, blinking his eyes.
Look at his broken mouth. Next time when Xia Wenhao is not around, he should just shut up and act like an idiot!
"Oh, so that's it." Yu Xiangwan sighed with pretended regret.
At this moment, the elevator door dinged and slowly opened.
Yu Xiangwan's gaze fell on the three people coming out of the elevator and she smiled at them.
Noticing that Yu Xiangwan was looking behind her, everyone looked back curiously. After seeing Shang Yu, Chen Xiu, and Song Chengwang, they secretly thanked God that they didn't say anything nonsense.
Especially Ke Zian, who almost let the cat out of the bag, hid behind everyone timidly.
Shen Xiu was caught off guard by the gaze of Yu Xiangwan and the team members. In Shen Xiu's mind, Yu Xiangwan = the interviewee who had to speak, and the team members = people who would feel uncomfortable being with him.
Chen Xiu suddenly felt the pressure going crazy +1+1.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Is it too late for him to turn around and run into the elevator now?
It was obviously too late, because Shen Xiu heard the sound of the elevator door closing.
Even if it wasn't closed, Shen Xiu knew that in order to avoid appearing to be behaving strangely in public, he must absolutely control himself and not run into the elevator.
What's more, Shang Yu and Song Chengwang had already walked towards everyone.
In order to fit in, Shen Xiu's body instinctively made him move in the same pace as the other two, forcing himself to move forward.
"Hello, Sister Yu."
"Hello, Sister Yu."
Chen Xiu also hurriedly followed behind Song Chengwang and Shang Yu and shouted, "Hello, Sister Yu."
As everyone's senior, Yu Xiangwan really likes her younger brothers to call her sister in a sweet way, especially Chen Xiu, who calls her sister in a sweet way despite her arrogant and cold face. This kind of contrast makes anyone who is called that know how adorable it is.
[Wow, I really want to experience Sister Yu’s happiness.] 】
[Sister... Although the production team didn't reveal the specific ages of the trainees, they did say that the youngest was 16 and the oldest was 20, so... rounding it off, they are just calling me sister, there's nothing wrong with that! ! ! 】
[Hahaha, sister, you know how to round off. 】
Yu Xiangwan said: "It's almost time for me to get off work, see you next time~"
Song Chengwang was puzzled: "Aren't you going to interview us?"
Chen Xiu glanced at Song Chengwang with envy. When would he be able to have the courage of Song Chengwang?
Yu Xiangwan looked meaningfully at the first few members of the "Heaven" group, and said with a smile: "I have asked everything I wanted to ask."
The program team asked her to come for an interview and told her the main people to interview. The interview list given to her was to exclude the top leaders of each group.
Yu Xiangwan speculated that the production team did this in order to include shots of the trainees' opinions on the front row in the later editing version.
"Okay." Song Chengwang showed his regret without disguising his expression: "Next time I will definitely come earlier and try to get an interview."
Yu Xiangwan didn't tell him about the program team's arrangements, but nodded with a smile: "Then I look forward to seeing you next time."
After Yu Xiangwan left, the members of the "Heaven" group walked towards the cafeteria together.
The dining scene was not much different from what Shen Xiu had imagined in his mind. Shen Xiu lowered his eyes and chewed the food awkwardly, while secretly making up his mind that next time, for the sake of everyone and himself, he would definitely slip away!
Nine o'clock in the evening.
When Song Chengwang, Shang Yu, Chen Xiu and Zhuang Yi returned to the dormitory, Xiang Yueting immediately jumped up from the stool and rushed towards them.
Xiang Yueting seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and words kept pouring out one after another.
"Tell me, how did you divide the parts?"
"You're back so late? Did you guys quarrel too?"
"Who's the center?"
"Old Song, Old Shang, or my brother Xiu?"
"Hey, are you all mute? Why aren't you talking? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Ahem, here I come!
