Second performance preparation 1
Hearing Xue Yi's words, Shen Xiu thought of his future solo teammate and refused without hesitation: "No."
Hearing this, Xue Yi was slightly stunned. Even though he was just joking, he still wanted to know why.
After all, judging from Shen Xiu's previous behavior, although he was always cold and gave people a distant and cold feeling that was difficult to get along with, as long as someone asked Shen Xiu for help, Shen Xiu would basically not refuse.
This rejection was beyond Xue Yi's expectations.
"Can you tell me why?"
Fearing misunderstanding, Chen Xiu expressed his true thoughts: "I can provide help, but I can't be their captain. I have my own team to be responsible for."
If he were alone, he would join them.
But according to Mr. Xue, it is obviously unfair and irresponsible to his own team for him to serve as the captain of another team while he has his own team.
After saying that, Shen Xiu looked at the six auditors and said, "Sorry."
The six of them were able to 'come back from the dead' and stay on this stage again, getting the opportunities that the eliminated trainees didn't get, and they were already grateful.
He shook his head quickly.
"It's all right."
"Yes, it's rare that you can remember us in this situation."
"That's totally understandable. There's no need to apologize."
Whether it was sincere or not, in front of the camera, the six people had no complaints against Shen Xiu.
Xue Yi raised his hands and clapped: "They are all very good."
Especially Chen Xiu, every choice he made always made him look at him with new eyes.
Shen Xiu has a 'compassionate and kind heart', but he will not arbitrarily 'flood' the people around him without regard for them, and he will ruthlessly and bluntly reject unreasonable requests.
His mind is always so rational and clear, so strong that he doesn't care at all whether he will be called "hypocritical" by the audience, which makes him admired.
[I'm so scared. I thought Xiu was going to lead a team of more than ten people. Even if Xiu Xiu is very strong, I don't want him to work too hard. 】
[Similarly, being strong does not mean working harder. 】
[You brought it up but then refused to accept it. What a hypocritical act.] 】
[Oh my goodness, Holy Father, please accept it. Didn’t you hear Xiu say that he could provide help? 】
[Providing assistance to them within the scope of my ability without affecting my responsibility to my teammates, as a cultivator, is always my first priority! 】
The trainees whose rankings were released were impressed when they heard Shen Xiu's blunt and cold refusal to accept the six auditors into his team.
If it were them, they would not dare to say such cruel words casually.
It might be interpreted as 'hypocrisy'.
Shen Xiu said this without even a second of hesitation.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, Shen Xiu's behavior of being so powerful that he would never care about what others said was so cool!
So cool!
When will they be strong enough to cultivate?
Shen Xiu found that everyone was always secretly looking at him, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Was what he said... annoying?
But you can forgive him, because those are his true thoughts in his heart and he can't change them.
So be it, there are so many people in this world, and it is very normal for everyone to have their own ideas and disagree with others.
Therefore, it is normal for me to be hated, Shen Xiu thought to himself.
In the eerie silence, Shang Yu asked, "Teacher Xue, will it be like the first performance?"
Six teams took the initiative to recruit an auditor to join their team.
In this way, they will be able to perform on the second public stage.
Xue Yi denied: "Of course not."
The trainees whose rankings were announced were confused.
"What kind of measures will be taken?"
"If you can't even go on stage for the second public performance, then you won't have any votes for the second public performance, and you'll be eliminated directly, right? Then wouldn't the revival votes for the first public performance just be for escaping?"
"Based on the nature of the production team, I think they are going to do something weird again."
Hearing the whispers of the trainees standing nearby, the trainees' hearts were in their throats.
Everyone looked at Xue Yi.
Song Chengwang: "Teacher Xue, the 72 trainees are divided into eight groups, and each group is required to have 9 members. What will the six resurrected trainees do? Can you tell us the answer directly?"
Ning Sinian: "That's right, even if I want to leave this stage, I have to be PKed."
Xiang Yueting raised his hand: "We refuse to allow them to lose the stage!"
"Yes, rejected!!!"
The trainees whose rankings were announced responded positively.
Shi Buwen stared at the trainees in the live broadcast room with red eyes.
No matter what little thoughts everyone might have before or in the future, at least at this moment, he saw pure unity.
The assistant director stood behind Shi Buwen, not quite sure: "...Director Shi, are you...crying?"
Shi Buwen's body stiffened, he coughed lightly, and sat up straight: "Have you ever seen sand get into your eyes?"
Assistant Director: “…”
In this spotless backstage, the windows are closed tightly, and there is no wind, so where does the sand come from? That's amazing, why don't you just say your eyes are watering?
[Wow, I’m so touched. What’s going on? I thought everyone would look down on auditors, but I didn’t expect everyone to…]
[I can relate. Before the final debut position is determined, everyone may end up as an auditor. 】
[In a talent show, of course you have to go on stage to decide the winner. After training for such a long time, you don’t even have the chance to go on stage. We have all worked hard together, so who can accept that? 】
Amid everyone's protests, Xue Yi looked relieved.
"Each of you has surprised me."
“Don’t worry, they will still have the opportunity to go on stage, but because they are resurrected audience voices, the track will be different from yours.”
What's the difference? The trainees were curious.
Xue Yi explained: "The six auditors will form a group. After the eight groups have finished four duels, the auditor group will perform on stage at the end to accept audience votes."
"There will be no bonus for the votes of auditors, and when the votes are counted in the second round, only one-third of your votes will be counted."
Hearing this, the auditors were stunned.
No one from the program team told them that on the second public stage, they would have to work twice as hard as the trainees whose rankings were released in the first public stage in order to get more votes in order to have a chance to enter the third public stage!
Upon hearing the news suddenly, the auditors turned pale.
“No one has said that.”
"that is."
"Without the trainees at the top of the rankings, the second round of votes will only count one-third. Can we... make it?"
“It’s too difficult, it’s really too difficult!”
Hearing the discussion, Xue Yi said ruthlessly: "Other trainees were released in order, and you were resurrected. As resurrected people, shouldn't you cherish this stage more and work harder than them?"
"Only by accepting more demanding challenges than them can you continue to stay on this stage. Any problem?"
"As revived auditors, you are standing on the same track as them. This is also unfair to the trainees who were announced. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being able to successfully enter the list of trainees who were announced in the first public performance."
Auditors: “…”
The words are harsh but the truth is there, but... too harsh!
[Damn, it seems... to make sense.] 】
[Yes, if you want to stay on this stage as an auditor in the future, you should be more demanding to prevent some people from not working hard. 】
[Also, the production team is not too harsh. Putting aside the fact that there is no captain to lead the debut group, there is no group to compete with them in the last group. They get full-time tickets, not like the trainees who are released in order, where there are two groups of 18 people sharing the full-time tickets. The auditors get one-third of the votes, which is considered second in order and the statistics are very merciful. The production team's words may sound unpleasant, but in fact, there is not much difference between them and the trainees in order. 】
Looking at everyone in silence, Xue Yi asked: "Now, do you have any questions about this matter?"
The auditors also quickly figured out what the audience could think of. Apart from the fact that there was no debut leader, there was really not much unfairness in the vote counting on their part.
Everyone shook their heads: "No more."
The trainees had no objection to the program team's arrangements. Although they often complained about the program team's many unexpected operations that caught them off guard, the program team did not treat them harshly in essence.
Xue Yi: "Since there is no problem, let's divide into groups."
When he heard the word "grouping", the scene of selecting team members in the first public competition immediately flashed through Shen Xiu's mind, and he subconsciously looked at the team members in the first public competition.
In addition to Xiang Yueting, the members of Yigong Chen Xiu's team also looked at Chen Xiu tacitly.
Their gazes were burning, nakedly conveying the same thought.
They also want to be in the same group with Shen Xiu!
The moment 8 people, 8 pairs of eyes met each other, they almost brimmed with tears.
Xiang Yueting, the captain of the second public stage: "......"
hateful! ! ! Why is he the captain of the second guild!
Xiang Yueting looked at Chen Xiu and the other seven members of Yigong Chen Xiu's team with obvious resentment in his eyes.
[Hahaha, Xiang Yueting would get so angry that he would pound the bed when he wakes up in the middle of the night]
[Xiu, take a look at Xiang Yueting. His resentment is so strong that it can almost feed ten evil sword immortals! 】
At this moment, Shen Xiu did not look at Yue Ting.
Looking at the original members who were all saying that they wanted to be on the same team with him, Shen Xiu: “!”
They are running in both directions!
It was so hard to find teammates who were as taciturn as him. Even if they talked, they would not talk to him. This time, they had to be in a...
Before Shen Xiu could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted coldly by Xue Yi the next moment.
Xue Yi: "This time, it's not the C position that chooses teammates, but teammates that choose captains. The selection starts from the 9th place in the training camp. According to the ranking, each group of 8 people will start to choose their favorite captain."
"Auditors who do not participate will automatically give up their spots and teleport to the next trainee."
"Of course, if multiple trainees choose the same captain, the decision will be made through a battle, and the winner will have priority."
Shen Xiu: “…”
What a terrible decision!
Members of the Yigong Shenxiu Group: What kind of devil is Teacher Xue? He is so abominable!
After hearing Xue Yi's words, it was like pie in the sky for the trainees who had never worked with Shen Xiu.
The shocking effects of the first public stage performance and the behind-the-scenes training of Team Chen Xiu are still vivid in my mind. It was Brother Xiu who single-handedly led the entire team to the front position!
Although he is cold, he is very capable.
At worst, they can just not look into Shen Xiu's eyes when talking to him to overcome their fear, and they can still be teammates!
"What?! There is such a good thing!"
"Chen Xiu, I want to be on the same team with you!"
Someone took the lead, and the trainees gradually became bolder and shouted to Shen Xiu with excitement and trepidation.
“Chen Xiu Kang me Kang me!”
"Look at me! I will definitely work hard!"
"I'm the most obedient. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, I even saw some trainees raising their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their hands towards me.
"!" Everyone...is not just a social bully, but has directly upgraded to social terrorists!
Shen Xiu's pupils trembled, and he had the urge to turn around and run away.
But he couldn't escape.
This escape will be recorded by the camera, and may become a famous scene of social death that will be played repeatedly in front of him in the future.
After thinking about the consequences, Shen Xiu suddenly felt that the future was dark. In order to prevent such a terrible thing from happening, Shen Xiu wanted to find an electric welder and weld his legs to the ground!
[It’s too obvious! As soon as Xue Yi finished speaking, the other trainees’ eyes lit up instantly. 】
[Who doesn’t want to team up with Xiu Lao! It’s not that other captains are bad, but Xiu Lao’s performance as captain in Yigong is really too disparate! 】
[A world where only one member of the Yigong Shenxiu team was injured has been achieved hahaha]
[Faced with so many trainees' enthusiastic 'picks', Mo Wang Xiu remained unmoved, and not even a trace of joy could be seen on his face. He was too steady! 】
[When will I be able to reach the state of not being happy with things or sad with myself?! 】
Seeing the trainees' enthusiasm towards Shen Xiu, the other seven captains were not angry.
Song Chengwang: "Why can't I be one of them? Jealousy!"
Xiang Yueting was gnashing his teeth beside him: "Damn it!"
Jiang Yanxi: “That’s right!”
Zhuang Yi: "This is abominable! I strongly condemn it!"
Shang Yu: "Hold on, Ning Sinian and Mu Zhenchu, they don't..."
Ning Sinian: "I wonder if I can be on the same team with Shen Xiu if I give up being the captain?"
Mu Zhenchu: “Same curiosity.”
Shang Yu: “…” There’s no hope, he’d better shut up.
Xue Yi watched the excitement for a while before speaking: "Alright, alright, stop making trouble."
Xue Wei was well-known for his sharp tongue, and the trainees were quite afraid of him, so they kept their mouths shut, but the fiery look they gave Shen Xiu remained unabated.
Shen Xiu: “…”
At this moment, the lyrics of a song he had learned from the music library of his multimedia device rang in his mind.
He wanted to escape, but couldn't.
Xue Yi: "Please ask the trainees ranked 9th to 16th in the training assessment to step out and choose the captain of your choice."
All the trainees ranked at the top wanted Chen Xiu to be their captain, and the trainees ranked 9th to 16th were almost battling each other like they were in a ring.
In the end, Xia Wenhao, whose name was among them, defeated the other seven people on his own and successfully entered the Shen Xiu team.
The remaining seven losing trainees had to start battling for other captains.
Xia Wenhao was exhausted from battling with dance.
When walking towards Shen Xiu, Xia Wenhao thought of how Shen Xiu had been training. No matter how many times he practiced or how late he practiced, he had never been out of breath, let alone said the word "tired".
Just now, when he was battling with other trainees, Shen Xiu's eyes were always indifferent and his expression was calm.
Obviously, in Shen Xiu's eyes, whether he wins or loses, Shen Xiu doesn't care.
Because in Shen Xiu's world, it doesn't matter who is his teammate.
But - he just refused to admit defeat, he just wanted to prove to Shen Xiu that he was worthy!
Finally, he succeeded.
In order to prevent Chen Xiu from thinking that he was weak, Xia Wenhao immediately forced himself to slow down his breathing and walked behind Chen Xiu with all his strength.
Only when he stood behind Shen Xiu and was out of his sight did Xia Wenhao dare to relax, but he still didn't dare to breathe heavily.
Xia Wenhao stared at Shen Xiu's back while breathing secretly. He didn't understand why someone's back even exuded a sense of coldness.
It’s so stressful to have him standing behind!
Feeling the shallow breathing sound coming from behind him, Shen Xiu's body became even more stiff.
He is most afraid of someone standing behind him!
When Xia Wenhao walked towards him, Shen Xiu was actually very nervous, afraid that Xia Wenhao would talk to him.
Fortunately, Xia Wenhao walked behind him silently without saying a word.
Shen Xiu was so touched, he was right, Xia Wenhao was indeed a person with hidden attributes!
Xia Wenhao insisted on being on the same team with him. He must have felt that after a public inspection, he was indeed a captain who was not talkative, which met Xia Wenhao's requirements.
"Trainees from 17 to 24, please step out."
Ten minutes later, Ke Zian became the winner with his good voice and walked into the Shen Xiu team.
Ke Zian was afraid of Shen Xiu and was shy, so when he walked towards Shen Xiu, he quickly looked at Shen Xiu, nodded, and ran behind Shen Xiu, standing obediently.
Chen Xiu: Another person, more importantly, Xia Wenhao and Ke Zian are very familiar with each other, they will talk together, and they still won’t bring him along, happy!
Ke Zian was excited, he didn't expect that he would win.
He walked behind Chen Xiu and couldn't wait to share his nervousness during the battle with his childhood friend, but when he looked up, he saw Captain Xiu's back with a chill, and he unconsciously lowered his voice.
"Ahhh I'm with Team Xiu again!"
Xia Wenhao: "You are a great singer. Look, listen to me battle with them with my singing voice. They can't beat you."
"25-32..."
In the competition of 25-32, Zhou Tong won.
Zhou Tong ran to Shen Xiu's team. Compared to the harsh and cold Shen Xiu, Zhou Tong quickly nodded and greeted them, then chose to stand behind Shen Xiu and talk quietly with Xia Wenhao and Ke Zian.
"I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose. Luckily, there were fewer people in our battle group."
Ke Zian: "Because you are awesome, much better than before!"
When Zhou Tong thought about how he used to cry all the time, his face turned red.
“Ahem… In some ways, I am indeed better than before, and I have to thank…” Zhou Tong did not finish the rest of his words, but just raised his head and secretly glanced at Chen Xiu.
Under Shen Xiusen's cold gaze, I didn't dare to cry, I didn't dare to cry at all!
Besides, Shen Xiu never scolded anyone.
Of course, that cold gaze and expressionless look are much more terrifying than a scolding!
Everyone looked at each other, and they all understood what Zhou Tong had not finished saying.
"33-40..."
The trainees in the lower positions shouted happily that they wanted to be Shen Xiu's team members, but when it came to the actual action, most of them were timid when they thought about the difficulty of the competition and Shen Xiu's cold face.
Therefore, the subsequent competition is not fierce.
"Please trainees 65-72 step out..."
After a long period of selection, the final eight out of 72 people were selected as captains.
In the end, the members of Team Shen Xiu were Captain Shen Xiu, Team members Xia Wenhao, Ke Zian, Zhou Tong, Yuan Jiafei, Ye Cheng, Zhao Mingwei, Song Junying, and Gao Yongshi.
The members of each group have been decided. Xue Yi looked at the members standing behind their captains and said, "Do you think the next step is to choose the music?"
Everyone nodded: "Yes!"
After hearing this, Xue Yi immediately retorted: "No."
[It starts again, the program crew starts making trouble again!] 】
[This production crew always leaves me confused. I am an old riddler indeed, but damn, I get beat up by them every time. Damn it! 】
Trainees: “?”
Thinking about the experiences of being cheated in the past, everyone had the same thought in their minds: What the program crew is doing again!
Looking at the nervous trainees, Xue Yi reminded them: "Think carefully, what have you learned in the past period of time?"
The trainees thought about it and realized that what could they do was just training.
After thinking about it, everyone's face changed suddenly.
"No, it's not what I think, is it?"
"We haven't even debuted yet, are the production team crazy?"
"That's right, how is it possible to do that!"
"Maybe...someone can really do it..."
The trainees who heard this subconsciously looked at Shen Xiu, and seeing Shen Xiu's calm and confident appearance, everyone had only one thought in their minds.
If Shen Xiu were to do this, he would definitely be able to do it!
At the same time, Shen Xiu was shocked by the news brought by the system and didn't hear what Xue Yi and the trainees were saying at all.
Chen Xiu: [What did you say? ! 】
System: [I said, there is a person named Duan Mingfei who is investigating you. He couldn't find your company, so he decided to hire a private detective to investigate you. Um... to put it bluntly, he wants to turn you upside down. 】
The system did not expect that it had not been online for a long time, and as soon as it came online, it found a small red dot on the terminal.
It was bound to Chen Xiu and had insight into everything about Chen Xiu in this world. After clicking it, he found that a man named Duan Mingfei was looking for someone to investigate Chen Xiu, so he told Chen Xiu about this.
Xue Yi heard the trainees' disbelieving discussions, smiled, and said loudly: "Congratulations, everyone's guess is correct."
"This time, you will complete everything independently, from composing the music and choreography to writing the lyrics."
"What kind of stage effect you want to present and what kind of performance you want to bring to the audience on the second public stage are all up to you to decide, and whether it is good or bad is up to you."
Trainees: ...Is this something worth congratulating? Teacher Xue, please don’t be too outrageous!
After Xue Yi finished speaking, he scanned the entire room, his eyes falling on Shen Xiu, who had kept his lips tightly pursed and his eyes narrowed from beginning to end.
Upon hearing the bad news, Shen Xiu's whole body stiffened, his mind went blank, the sounds around him disappeared instantly, and his mind was filled with only one thought.
His past...his parents' past must not be discovered. They are both dead. He doesn't want their suffering to be exposed to others...definitely not...
In a trance, Shen Xiu heard Xue Yi's voice entering his ears.
"Chen Xiu, tell us, tell everyone, what will you do next?"
Here we come! ! ! (Don’t worry, no one will be taken for granted, everyone will grow!)
