Preparation for the third performance



Preparation for the third performance

When his name was called, Shen Xiu was silent for a moment under everyone's gaze, organizing his words in his mind before speaking out his thoughts.

"Each of us sang the song in full, recorded it, and listened to it together. After listening to everyone's singing, we wrote down the part we thought each member of the group should sing based on our own opinion of each person's singing."

"The final result will be based on the comprehensive data of these nine pieces."

“It’s best if everyone doesn’t communicate before the data is integrated.”

What this means is that if a member is recognized as singing a part of a song the most times, that part belongs to him.

Group members: "......"

After confirming through eye contact, Shen Xiu is a data geek.

But everyone had to admit that, without a captain, Chen Xiu's method was fair.

Zhuang Yi raised his hand: “I agree with Shen Xiu’s idea.”

Lu Fei followed closely behind: "Me too."

The rest of the people couldn't think of a better way for the time being, and this method was fair, so they all raised their hands to express their agreement.

Because he had proposed this method, Shen Xiu took the initiative to find the staff to get nine sets of recording equipment: "I'll go get the recording equipment and be back soon."

As soon as Shen Xiu left, everyone in the practice room could no longer hold back the words that they had been holding back because of Shen Xiu's presence, and they all started talking.

Song Chengwang sighed: "This method is both absolute and fair, and it is very consistent with Shen Xiu's rigorous style. Old Shang, can you imagine it?"

Shang Yu shook his head without disguising: "I didn't expect it."

Shang Yu is the kind of person who looks very smart at first glance, and Zhuang Yi is very curious.

"Shang Yu, what solution do you have in mind?"

Shang Yu smiled slightly: "No matter what I thought before, it doesn't matter anymore. There is no need to mention it. What's important now is that we have found a solution that everyone agrees with."

Song Chengwang almost rolled his eyes: "When it comes to Tai Chi, you're the best."

Shang Yu just smiled and said nothing in response to Song Chengwang's words.

What solution did he come up with? According to his personality, he likes to take absolute control of the initiative and doesn't care what others do. What matters is what he thinks.

But obviously, his ideas are not suitable for the current team.

That's why he would take the initiative to ask others what solutions they had.

He couldn't be like Shen Xiu, who didn't care about anything and showed extreme coldness and indifference in his bones, but at the same time, he had the meticulous care of a strong man for the weak. Therefore, he was destined not to come up with a perfect and thoughtful method like Shen Xiu.

Zhuang Yi sighed, "Being the captain was so tiring before, and the results didn't seem to be very good. I was very depressed. After the song selection results came out this time, I was actually relieved. With you guys here, I can sing whatever is assigned to me. I just want to take a break."

Song Chengwang sneered: "Don't take a break. Be careful. If you take a break, you will be eliminated in the third round. Don't forget, the more talented people there are in the team, the more intense the competition will be."

Zhuang Yi covered his face: "It's so hard for me!"

[Why did I, Xiubao, go out?] 】

[What are people talking about after Xiubao gets out? 】

[Have you noticed that after Chen Xiu left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. 】

[There's nothing we can do. Xiu Xiu's aura is too strong. Who can easily chat with Xiu Xiu's cool face and cold eyes? But...why is it that since just now, everyone has flowers on their mouths when they open their mouths? 】

Ten minutes later, Shen Xiu returned with nine recording devices and nine notebooks, plus a folded piece of paper.

Shen Xiu asked the staff to get notes on each recording device and notebook and wrote everyone's name on them, so that there would be no mistakes when picking them up or playing them later.

In order to avoid the awkward situation of touching hands with others when handing over the equipment, Shen Xiu put the equipment on the table after entering the room: "Everyone take it yourself."

After the words fell, before anyone else could speak, Shen Xiu said what he had thought of on the way back with the recording equipment.

"On the way back, I looked at the practice rooms on the other floors. They were all empty. Other groups were in their own practice rooms and didn't come out. In order not to disturb each other, we went to other empty practice rooms to record our own songs."

Everyone took their own equipment, and sighed in their hearts that Shen Xiu was the same as always, always using the coldest expression, the coldest voice, and saying the most heartwarming words.

Don’t mention it, the contrast is really huge.

Everyone nodded in response.

"good"

"Let's set a time. We'll meet in ten minutes, okay?"

"No problem, the whole song is only three and a half minutes, ten minutes is enough."

"OK, I'll be leaving now. See you in ten minutes~"

For the sake of recording quality, everyone didn't want to waste too much time and quickly left the "Heaven" practice room.

Shen Xiuben also wanted to leave, and found that everyone was crowding together to go out in twos and threes.

Not on stage, not physically touching as required by the plot of the song, but in reality everyone walks side by side, arms around each other...

Shen Xiu was so embarrassed that his toes dug into the ground just by imagining it.

If that were the case, he would blush, right?

If you blush when someone puts their hand on your shoulder, you will definitely be laughed to death!

Chen Xiu thought about the scene at noon when everyone was walking together and he was walking silently at the end without being able to say anything. He felt so embarrassed that his scalp numbed, so he didn't go out with everyone else.

After everyone left, Chen Xiu looked at the empty practice room, and then he realized that this was just an empty practice room! I can just stay here and don’t have to look for another practice room!

No one suggested staying here. Is it because they saw that I am not good at socializing and left the practice room to myself?

Well, that must be the case, otherwise why wouldn't anyone stay?

Shortly after leaving the practice room, Song Chengwang suddenly stopped in the corridor and said, "Wait, the Heaven practice room is also a vacant practice room."

Zhuang Yi was stunned: "Ah, if you hadn't said it, I almost forgot. So... Chen Xiu didn't come out with us. Did he think of it earlier?"

Shang Yu nodded: "It should be."

Shen Xiu was delighted by his teammates' understanding and kindness. He closed the door of the practice room, walked to the multimedia equipment table, put on his headphones, turned on "Heaven" and started learning.

While listening attentively, Chen Xiu sang along with the singer silently in his heart. He was glad that he had learned the song once in the practice room on the 10th floor in the morning. Now he was trying to figure out the emotions in the song, otherwise ten minutes would not be enough.

[It is known that Brother Xiu asked the staff to take the coded things, and on the way back to "Heaven", he knocked on the doors of other practice rooms to check one by one. Now Brother Xiu is the only one left in the "Heaven" practice room, and everyone else has gone to other practice rooms. Please, what is the "Heaven" group doing? 】

[Fight, fight?] 】

[Before, it was Boss Xiu who spoke and then left the practice room. After Boss Xiu came back, he spoke again. Everyone was so angry that they left the practice room? 】

[I am dying of laughter. The damn program crew was afraid of the lip-reading translator. Now it’s amazing. Little flowers appear on whoever speaks. It’s so weird and stupid. Who came up with this weird way of blurring? Aren’t cat heads enough for your production crew? 】

[Anyway, we can't figure out what the "Heaven" group is doing. We can only see whoever has flowers moving in their mouths is talking. 】

Ten minutes later, the members of the "Heaven" group returned to the practice room assigned by the program team one after another.

When we returned to the practice room, we saw several yoga mats on the floor.

Chen Xiu had already recorded his part, and the recording equipment was placed on the multimedia table, and everyone subconsciously placed their own part on it.

Chen Xiu thought that everyone would listen to the song he sang carefully together later, and might even listen to it several times. He felt ashamed just thinking about it, so he took the notebook with his name on it as if escaping from it, and walked to the last yoga mat and sat down.

As long as I sit in the last row, people won't be able to see my face when they listen to my singing recording, which means I won't embarrass myself!

Seeing Shen Xiu sitting down, everyone understood and took the notebooks with their names on them and sat on the yoga mats.

As for Shen Xiu's behavior of sitting in the last row, everyone was used to it.

As for the big guys, they always like the feeling of sitting at the back and making plans secretly. They all understand.

Shang Yu was the last one to go up and sat down at the top: "Let me put it down."

There were nine recordings on the table, each with the name of each team member labeled on it. Shang Yu started from left to right.

"Four minutes to listen to the song, five minutes to think and mark. Everyone, get ready. Now we are going to listen to Zhuang Yi's singing."

At 6:30 pm, each member of the "Heaven" group sang three times.

During these three times, everyone has written down in their notebooks the parts they think are most suitable for other members of the group based on the voices of the group members.

When everyone piled up the torn papers together, Chen Xiu unfolded the folded paper he had brought back earlier.

The paper is large, so the space between lyrics is naturally large enough, which makes it convenient to mark on it.

Seeing the lyrics and sheet music of "Heaven" on the paper, Zhuang Yi exclaimed, "So that's it!"

When he took the notebook prepared by Shen Xiu, he thought that the folded paper placed aside was just something Shen Xiu took and was useless.

It turns out that everything that has passed through Shen Xiu's hands is not easy at all, but all meaningful.

After each team member has written his or her opinion, it is indeed necessary to print out the lyrics of "Heaven" so that they can mark and vote according to the most suitable part written by each team member.

Chen Xiu unfolded the papers, which took up one side of the table, and took a pen ready to mark each team member's vote at any time.

In order to maintain secrecy, the papers with part suggestions are turned over, and no one can see what is written on the paper until it is opened.

Song Chengwang picked up the papers written by the group members and began to read.

"This is Song Chengwang's suggestion, which I wrote. For the first two verses, Chen Xiu got 1 vote; for the second and third verses, Lu Fei got 1 vote... For the first two verses of the first chorus, Chen Xiu got 1 vote... For the last three verses before the outro, Chen Xiu got 1 vote."

Shang Yu was watching from the side, looking at Song Chengwang with an indescribable expression, and then looking at Shen Xiu.

The eyes of other members in the group also wandered back and forth between Song Chengwang and Shen Xiu, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

As one of the people being watched, Shen Xiu: "......"

Very good, but I don’t understand why everyone is looking at me. Did I write it wrong?

Chen Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the paper with the lyrics printed on it and checked it carefully. He checked it over and over again three times, recalling the sentences Song Chengwang had just read in his mind.

That’s right, why are you looking at yourself?

If Shen Xiu looked up at this moment, he would find that his friends were looking at him with obvious guilty eyes.

Everyone wanted to say something when they saw Shen Xiu calmly recording the number of votes, but they didn't dare to.

Everyone couldn't help but think, it shouldn't be... what they think?

There are nine people in the group!

Not everyone is as straightforward as Song Chengwang and himself.

Song Chengwang shrugged: "Why are you all looking at me and Shen Xiu? Didn't we write down the parts that we think are most suitable for each member according to their singing? Is there anything wrong with what I did?"

"Haha... no problem."

"Keep going."

"Yes, go ahead."

Song Chengwang looked at everyone's embarrassed expressions. Why did one or two of them look so guilty?

Song Chengwang sighed, didn't think any further, and took the second piece of paper.

"This is a suggestion from Lu Fei. For the first three lines of the verse, Chen Xiu... 1 vote?"

Song Chengwang glanced at the following content, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked deeply at Lu Fei. Lu Fei touched his nose and looked away guiltily.

"Cough cough..." Song Chengwang pinched his throat and continued to recite.

After reading Lu Fei's suggestion, the members of the "Heaven" team fell into a strange silence again.

After writing down the number of votes, Chen Xiu once again doubted his life and checked the number of votes he wrote, and it was still correct.

Shen Xiu: “…”

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. He will never understand everyone’s train of thought anyway!

Song Chengwang muttered, "I don't believe it if it happens three times."

After hearing Song Chengwang's words, the members whose papers had not yet been read thought silently in their hearts, maybe, probably, possibly...it will be three.

Song Chengwang picked up the third piece of paper: "This is a suggestion from Shang Yu..."

Before he finished reading, Song Chengwang saw the words at the end and looked at Shang Yu silently.

Shang Yu didn't know what to say except smiling. Three people had the same idea in a row. Chen Xiu... wouldn't be angry, right?

Shang Yu's suggestion, apart from the fact that the parts of other members were slightly different from the previous ones, Chen Xiu's part could not be said to be exactly the same as the previous ones. It was simply impossible to find any differences.

Song Chengwang became more courageous as he got more frustrated. He picked up the fourth portion and said, "I'll just... Damn it!"

This was the first time they were so in sync with each other and it was all about Shen Xiu!

By the time Song Chengwang read the eighth one, he felt numb.

When the eighth vote was read, the votes for the part about the lyrics of "Heaven" were far ahead of all others.

Eight copies have been read out, and it is obvious that at this point, no one can deceive themselves.

The team members who had the same train of thought looked at Shen Xiu who was taking notes seriously with trepidation.

Chen Xiu still had an expressionless face. He wrote the simple numbers of votes with a sharp pen. Maybe it was because he felt guilty, but when people looked at Chen Xiu's words, they felt like a knife was being placed on their necks.

And Shen Xiu is the cold-blooded executioner.

But... they really didn't mean it!

If "Heaven" wants to stand out, it has to find another way. Since the program crew stipulates that no changes can be made, they can only start with the sound and supplement it with emotional expression to make "Heaven" more eye-catching.

The first half of the original verse of "Heaven" is too bland, giving people the feeling of bland boiled water, both the lyrics and the music are like this.

If the singing is not good, the audience will be disappointed after listening to the prelude and their expectations for the following part will decrease, and the song will not have the effect of impressing people.

So, they need a special voice to make the bland lyrics less bland.

To put it bluntly, they need Shen Xiu's voice to hook the audience in.

The plain first part of the verse is the most difficult part of the whole song, and they tacitly gave the most difficult part to Shen Xiu.

Having listened to the songs of the group members so many times, only Shen Xiu's voice made people feel their hearts skip a beat from the beginning.

After Shen Xiu finished writing the eighth vote, he waited for a few seconds, but didn't hear Song Chengwang's words. He raised his eyes in confusion: "Not continuing?"

The cold voice was calm and without any waves. Song Chengwang couldn't figure out whether Shen Xiu was angry or not, so he could only say, "Okay, I'll continue."

There is only one left, and the last one is a suggestion from Shen Xiu.

Song Chengwang picked up the last portion on the table, turned it over, and when he started to read it, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Good night, I’m gone!
