Second performance preparation 2
Ke Zian whispered: "We have to do the entire song by ourselves, from the lyrics to the music and the dance. It's terrible."
Zhou Tong also muttered quietly: "We have only been trained for six days and they have left us to fend for ourselves. The production team thinks too highly of us..."
Shen Xiu's mind was full of the system's words, and he couldn't think too much. He could only extract information from the words of the team members behind him and squeeze out a universal answer for this situation: "Work together."
The perfunctory and venomous teacher Xue, coupled with what the system said, made Shen Xiu feel confused and guilty, and his palms were cold.
Xue Yi nodded appreciatively: "Very good."
He thought Shen Xiu would lead his teammates like a nanny, just like the first time.
Judging from Chen Xiu's current answer, that kind of situation will not happen again. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Once you have done it, you will never do it again. Chen Xiu is indeed a man of principles.
[It’s true that Xiu Xiu is very strong, but it’s only fair for a team to work together! 】
[Although...I just don't want to see Xiu as tired as he was in the first performance. 】
【+11111】
[But... there are nine people in a team, and everyone has their own ideas. It's not realistic for them to write the same song and choreograph the same dance together. 】
[At this time, it depends on whether the captain can control the team members. 】
[Ahem, if it’s Xiu Lao, is it still necessary to suppress it? Just one look and no one dared to say anything. 】
"Shang Yu, what about you?"
Business metaphor: "I..."
When Shen Xiu heard Xue Yi shift his target to Shang Yu, he immediately focused his attention back on the system's words.
After Xue Yi's interruption, Shen Xiu calmed down a lot, at least his body was no longer as tense as it was when he first heard the bad news.
[Duan Mingfei, who is he?] 】
Shen Xiu searched in his mind. He had never heard of this person's name in his past life.
Why did he check on me? 】
The system was too lazy to explain and directly threw out Duan Mingfei’s information: [Here, take a look for yourself. 】
After the system was bound to Shen Xiu, the information passed by the system to Shen Xiu did not need to be read by Shen Xiu himself, but went directly into Shen Xiu's brain.
As a system that is above all life in this world, it is no exaggeration to say that Duan Mingfei was stripped down to nothing left.
In an instant, Chen Xiu knew everything, big and small, that had happened to Duan Mingfei and was related to Duan Mingfei since his birth.
Chen Xiu: [This person...is there something wrong with his brain? 】
Just as he had thought before, Duan Mingfei had never had any intersection with him.
The only thing they have in common is that they both attended...
No, to be more precise, Duan Mingfei participated in the boy group audition "Better Days", while he is currently participating in the boy group audition "Young and Invincible".
That's all.
There was no enmity or hatred.
System: [Let’s just assume that he is sick. Unprovoked malice, the meanness of human nature, Chen Xiu, haven’t you experienced enough? 】
Shen Xiu was stunned, with a slight frown on his brow.
Yes, hasn’t he seen enough unprovoked malice?
Chen Xiu couldn't imagine his parents' and his past being exposed to the world and being judged by everyone.
Either be treated with sympathy or be attacked and miserably treated.
No matter what the outcome, there will be no peace.
Chen Xiu: [System, what do you need me to do before you...]
System: [Have you forgotten that you are bound to me and are my host. How can others bully my host before he completes my task? 】
Shen Xiu: “?”
System: [Don’t worry, there is no one else in this world who knows your past except you. I am just telling you about this now. After all, you and Duan Mingfei are in the same circle and you will probably meet in the future. 】
It didn't want Chen Xiu to be unaware of the evil that was growing rampantly in the darkness when he met Duan Mingfei.
Shen Xiu: “!”
So, what the system meant was that before telling him, it had already solved all his problems, and no one could find out his past!
[…Thank you, you are so nice!] 】
Not only did it save his life and give him a second chance to live, it also helped him so much.
Chen Xiu expressed in his mind without any obstacles: [You are the best system I have ever seen! 】
System: [Have you... seen other systems? 】
Chen Xiu: […Not really. 】
The system was relieved: [That’s good, the matter has been discussed and resolved. Goodbye. 】
After the system went offline, Xue Yi had just finished asking the last C-position captain.
"Well, let's talk about the rules for the second performance."
"There will be eight groups, four matches in total, but before the second performance, we will randomly draw lots to determine the groups that will face off against each other. So before that, you should be aware that 'except for your group, the other seven groups are all opponents.'"
"There will be a second performance in seven days. Time is tight, so I hope everyone will seize the time."
"Friendly reminder, the number of people eliminated in the second performance will be much higher than the first performance, so everyone must go all out, and the second performance will be different from the first performance."
At this point, Xue Yi kept the topic a secret: "As for what the difference is, it will be revealed after the second performance."
"Teacher Xue, what you said is as good as nothing you said!"
"Damn it, I was fooled by Teacher Xue again today!"
"Teacher Xue, we are really panicked when you say that."
Xue Yi smiled, and his eyes on the trainees were full of pity: "In short, the best reminder I can give you is to work hard. You must work very, very hard."
Xue Yi's words made the already nervous trainees even more anxious and worried.
"Okay, now it's free time. Bye."
Because time was tight, after Xue Yi left, each C-position captain immediately led their team members back to the exclusive practice room assigned by the program team.
In Shen Xiu's team, except for Xia Wenhao, Ke Zian and Zhou Tong, the remaining five members were working with Shen Xiu for the first time. They walked at the end of the team, and they felt nervous unconsciously when they saw Shen Xiu walking in the front.
On the way back to the practice room of Shen Xiu's team, the eight people at the back unconsciously became disconnected from Shen Xiu who was at the front.
Shen Xiu, who was walking in front, noticed that the footsteps behind him were getting farther and farther away, and he was very distressed.
Should he...stop and wait for his teammates?
But if we get too close, everyone will feel uncomfortable, right?
Well, it’s better to stay away!
The eight team members were talking in low voices in the back.
Ye Cheng: "No, Zhou Tong, Ke Zi'an, Xia Wenhao, what are you three so scared of?"
Song Junying: "Exactly. You three are the only ones who are most familiar with Team Xiu here. Why are you walking so far back?"
Zhao Mingwei: "Will Captain Xiu be angry if we do this?"
Yuan Jiafei: "Zhao Mingwei, what you said... I think it's weird when I think about it carefully."
Ke Zian said timidly: "Just because we have been together for a long time doesn't mean we are not afraid of team building."
Zhou Tong agreed a lot: "I feel a chill when I walk behind Team Xiu. What is this? It's the natural deterrent power from the big guys. It's not like we can become braver just by getting along with them for a long time. Is there anything wrong with being timid? There is absolutely no problem!"
Seeing that Chen Xiu had already opened the door and entered the practice room, Xia Wenhao glanced at the seven people who were talking together and reminded them silently.
"Let's go in quickly. If we waste time, Shen Xiu will look at us even colder later. If you don't want to be stared at by Shen Xiu, go in now."
With just one word, the seven people dispersed instantly and rushed into the open practice room.
In less than five seconds, Xia Wenhao was the only one left in the corridor.
Xia Wenhao: “…6”
[Is this the intimidation from Demon King Xiu? Hahaha]
[The moment the seven people heard Xia Wenhao's words, they ran faster than a rocket. It was inexplicably funny. I have already taken a gif screenshot]
【Xia Wenhao: I am speechless! ! ! 】
In the practice room.
As soon as Shen Xiu walked to the multimedia equipment table and picked up the paper and pen, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps.
When he looked up, he saw his teammates, who had been a long distance away from him, rushing into the practice room.
Yes, pouring in.
The door was so narrow that he was afraid that seven people would squeeze in and break it.
Shen Xiu glanced at the door frame sympathetically.
For their group, it has silently endured too much!
The moment seven people rushed into the classroom, Shen Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at them lightly.
Caught off guard by Shen Xiu's cold gaze, the seven people froze, stood up obediently, and shouted awkwardly.
"Team Repair."
"Ahem...Captain Xiu, what should we do first?"
Repair team...
No matter how many times he heard it, Shen Xiu felt that this title was very shameful.
Shen Xiu lowered his head and opened his notebook, pretending to be busy to cover up his shame.
After a minute, when Shen Xiu felt that his face was not too hot, he raised his head.
In order to avoid making eye contact with the eight team members, Shen Xiu only glanced at them vaguely, raised his hand to hold up the notebook, and his eyes fell on the notebook.
There are nine people in total, and each person’s favorite style may not be the same, so of course the lyrics they want to write and the dances they want to dance are also different.
But...what style do you like?
Shen Xiu looked at his notes with a dull look.
Because Shen Xiu discovered that he had no preference in this regard, as if everything was acceptable.
Inside the practice room.
After the eight team members came in, they found that Shen Xiu on the stage only raised his eyes and glanced at them faintly, then his eyes fell on the notebook, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Eight people: ...No, no way? Could it be that they came in really too late, and Captain Xiu felt that they wasted time and was angry?
Shen Xiu is bald.
I can’t think of a style that I like, I can’t think of one at all!
so--
Shen Xiu set his sights on the team members, and handed the right to choose the style to his teammates.
"What kind of styles do you like? Tell me and I'll record it."
Although Shen Xiu’s voice was still cold and his expression was indifferent, at least he spoke, so he should not be very angry.
Shen Xiu looked cold and arbitrary with his cool exterior, but now he was asking for their opinions!
The new team members thought that Shen Xiu looked scary and difficult to get along with, so they could only admire him from afar and not get close to him.
Once you get close, you will be disillusioned.
However...what turned out to be disillusionment?
Even the world-disillusioning cultivator can't make them disillusioned!
Today is indeed a day that makes me admire Master Xiu even more!
But... everyone still felt that Shen Xiu was just asking them out of respect.
Even though Teacher Xue said in the practice room on the 10th floor that the style of music, lyrics and choreography were all decided by themselves, the C-position captain was the C-position captain after all, and everyone tacitly agreed that the captains of each team had absolute decision-making power over matters such as music style, choreography and lyrics.
Therefore, everyone was not humble when answering, thinking "It's just talk, no one will take it seriously anyway, it's just a process", and expressed their thoughts directly.
Xia Wenhao spoke first: "As for style, I like wilder ones, like the handsome and wild wolf like Ying Ziang last time, I like it very much."
Zhou Tong: "Just be a little more cheerful and enthusiastic."
Ye Chen: "I like the type who has intense emotional outbursts. It's so handsome when I think about it, the kind that's so handsome that it can break the sky."
Ke Zian: "I, I like the classical style."
Yuan Jiafei: "The style I want is very simple. In one word, handsome. From the lyrics to the music to the dance, it's handsome from beginning to end. It's so handsome that it makes people feel their scalps tingle when they listen to and watch it!"
Zhao Mingwei: "I like the dark rock style. It looks impressive when I look handsome."
Song Joon-young: "I like punk style, but it would be better if it could be a little more handsome."
When the team members talked about their favorite styles, Shen Xiu slid his pen tip and recorded it quickly.
Five minutes later, Shen Xiu looked at the words on the notebook and felt overwhelmed.
Keep it simple, can everyone please keep it simple!
Among these eight people, no two of them have the same style except for the word 'handsome'!
How to determine the style?
This can't go on.
Chen Xiu scanned the words on the notebook into the multimedia device, projected it onto the big screen, and decided to select the style by voting.
Team Members: ...So, what does this mean?
Looking at the words written with sharp pen strokes, the members' cheeks felt hot. When they said it, they thought the captain would not adopt it and did not think it was a big deal. But when they really published it, they seemed so superficial.
Among all the words in the article, the word "handsome" stands out so much.
Captain Xiu...you don't think they are superficial, do you? Is it a public execution for their superficiality?
So shameful!
Chen Xiu looked at the team members and said seriously: "Eight styles, eight people, one vote each, and we'll decide by voting."
He doesn't know what style he likes, so he shouldn't participate.
After listening to Shen Xiu's calm words and looking at his serious expression, the team members at this moment finally realized a fact.
Team Xiu really intends to use their favorite style to determine the basic style of this lyrics, music and dance!
Everyone wanted to say something, but when they met Chen Xiu's icy face, they didn't have the courage to express their excitement and joy.
Afraid that Shen Xiu would get impatient waiting, the team members suppressed their excitement and spoke enthusiastically.
"Actually, I still want someone who is particularly handsome. Yuan Jiafei expressed it very well. I'll choose him!"
"He's so handsome that it will blow up the universe. Love it. I vote for Yuan Jiafei!"
"Being handsome is forever, I vote for Yuan Jiafei too!"
In the end, the voting ended with Yuan Jiafei receiving seven votes.
Yuan Jiafei: “…”
Ahhh what the hell is he talking about? This group of people are staring at the word "handsome" and choosing all his words!
Damn it, only his embarrassing achievement was achieved!
[In one word, handsome, that’s it, such a real thought, hahaha]
[No matter what style you have, you must be handsome from beginning to end! 】
[To be honest, being handsome without knowing it is the most handsome thing. Trying to be handsome on purpose is greasy. Please don’t let me be disappointed! 】
[This choice... seems to have something strange, but I can't figure it out for the moment. 】
[Because they chose the style and tone, they were all thinking about what was cool and chose a cool one hahaha]
Looking at the option with the most votes, Shen Xiu fell silent.
Well...how should I put it, a group of people chose an option that seemed to say everything, but actually said nothing.
Or when did "handsome" become a style? He just doesn't know?
Is everyone serious? Shen Xiu's gaze subconsciously turned to the groups.
The team members saw Shen Xiu looking at them, and because Shen Xiu wanted to determine the tone of the second performance stage song according to their ideas, they were excited and their eyes were shining.
Facing the excited expressions of the team members, Shen Xiu: "......"
Well, everyone seemed really serious, so serious that he began to doubt everyone's mental state.
Regardless of lyrics, music or dance, the team members required the word "cool" to run through from beginning to end, but not so cool that it would make the audience feel sick.
This... can it really be done?
Shen Xiu looked at the other style options provided by the team members, thinking about it.
After a while, Shen Xiu didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes lit up instantly. He leaned forward slightly and made several marks on the paper with his pen.
After making the mark, Shen Xiu paused with his pen, fearing that what he was going to say later would be too long and he would stutter accidentally.
In order to save his own face and not make a fool of himself in front of the live broadcast audience and team members, Chen Xiu immediately turned to a new page and quickly wrote down what he was going to say later.
What did Xiu Xiu write? Give me Kang Kang, give me Kang Kang! 】
[Damn it, the live broadcast room of the practice room is clearly still open, but I can’t see it at all unless I zoom in! 】
[Be content, sisters. Be careful or the program crew may suddenly close the live broadcast room later.] 】
[Shh, don’t say anything, don’t remind the production team (secretly)]
The team members were also very happy to see Chen Xiu suddenly started writing something, but they didn't dare to look closely.
I could only look from a distance. Of course, we were not clairvoyant, so we could not see anything. We could only admire the way Shen Xiu wrote.
The black pen shook rapidly, writing black words on the paper.
Team members: How could someone's writing posture reveal such an unconcealable sense of sharpness!
Five minutes later, Shen Xiu stopped writing, stood up straight, lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell on the handwriting in the notebook.
So far, it is still uncertain which group will compete on the second public stage, so Shen Xiu wrote down the situation of all eight groups.
Moreover, the reason why the captain is the captain is that he has absolute decision-making power most of the time when there is disagreement.
Without knowing the members of other groups, Chen Xiu could only analyze the preferences of each team leader.
I hope I can guess it, but there’s nothing I can do if I can’t.
He really tried his best!
That was all he could learn from them during their short intensive training session!
Chen Xiu lowered his eyes to look at the words written on the paper, and began to read in a flat voice: "I will tell you about the situation of the other seven groups."
Yes, Shen Xiu wrote this opening statement on paper.
"Xiang Yueting has a good foundation in dancing and can do almost any dance. Choreography is easy for Xiang Yueting. As the team leader, he may focus on the expressiveness of dance."
"Song Chengwang pays attention to style and atmosphere. Songs and dances should serve the style and pay attention to the atmosphere."
"Shang Yu pays attention to the details of his appearance, and he may appear on stage with eye-catching makeup that the audience would not expect. His voice is deep and magnetic, and his songs are likely to be lyrical."
"Jiang Yanxi likes to draw small patterns on his face to attract attention, and he likes lyrical songs. The choreography he makes is not too intense or complicated, and the dance moves serve as a foil to the songs."
"Zhuang Yi likes mechanical dance moves, and the songs are not complicated."
"Mu Zhenchu likes rap, so their group should focus on rap."
"Ning Sinian prefers classical dance, so maybe he will work hard on dancing."
After hearing these words, the team members: “!”
He pointed out in a calm tone which stage songs his opponents might focus on. He is indeed Chen Xiu. His observation and analysis skills are amazing!
To be honest, after being together for so long, they never thought about observing what others focus on. As for the big guys in the debut position, they just think they are great, but they don’t look closely at what makes them great.
Now that Shen Xiu had analyzed it, they suddenly realized it.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.
[I don’t know what to say except 66666.] 】
[As expected of me, the Demon King Xiu, I am very observant. I have never thought of these things while watching the live broadcast! 】
[Is this the legendary 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle'? 】
[No wonder Boss Xiu is always calm no matter what happens. It turns out that he already knows the situations of the people around him. In this situation, he can't panic at all! 】
Meanwhile, the remaining seven groups were also analyzing the groups individually.
When it came to analyzing Shen Xiu's team, each group was at a loss because they didn't know what Shen Xiu would focus on.
because--
Shen Xiu is the real all-around ACE!
Business metaphor within the team.
The team member scratched his head: "Caravan, what will Shen Xiu prefer? Ahhhh I can't think of it at all!"
A team member suggested to Shang Yu: "Captain Shang, how about you ask Chen Xiu some questions after you return to the dormitory tonight?"
The rest of the group agreed.
“That’s a good idea!”
Shang Yu smiled wryly: "Do you think Shen Xiu's words are so easy to trick?"
Thinking of Shen Xiu's taciturn nature and cold gaze, the team members shuddered.
Oh, it's so terrible! It's impossible to ask them to get information, absolutely impossible!
so--
"Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Caravan, this difficult task is now handed over to you!"
Business metaphor: "......"
I give up. Sacrificing one person is for the benefit of the whole team, right?
But...it's not impossible if we bring other people along.
The live broadcast room was closed at ten o'clock, and Shen Xiu waited until eleven o'clock in the evening before leaving the practice room.
Shen Xiu thought that when he came back at this time, his roommates would be asleep.
Before pushing open the dormitory door, Shen Xiu took a special look at the bottom of the dormitory door. It was pitch black and did not emit a single ray of light.
This means that the lights in the dormitory have been turned off, and when the lights are turned off, the roommates have of course fallen asleep.
Shen Xiu pushed open the dormitory door lightly, but before he could do so, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Shen Xiu: “?”
The moment the dormitory door was completely opened, the originally dark dormitory became bright in an instant with the sound of a slight click of the switch turning on.
Looking at the seven people at the dormitory door, Shen Xiu was so frightened that he lost his soul and his legs became limp and stiff.
Chen Xiu really wanted to ask: What about the most basic trust between people?
(Feeling guilty) Coming, coming (but able to run)!
