Second performance preparation 4
The team members were nervous but also very excited.
Faced with such gazes, Shen Xiu has now learned to hypnotize himself, numb himself, and try his best to block it out, pretending that he didn't notice everyone's fiery gazes.
Chen Xiu found the one with Zhou Tong, Ke Zian and Yuan Jiafei's names on it among the torn papers, and his eyes fell on Ke Zian, Zhou Tong and Yuan Jiafei.
Meeting Shen Xiu's slightly cold gaze, the three of them couldn't help but breathe lighter and straighten their backs.
Shen Xiu: "Zhou Tong, Ke Zian, Yuan Jiafei."
The three of them said in unison: "Here!"
The voice was so loud that the words that Shen Xiu hadn't had time to say were scared back into his throat.
After pausing for two seconds, Shen Xiu glanced at the 'lines' that had been written in advance on the notebook on the table, and spit out the words that scared him back.
"The lyrics you three wrote for the composition test were very detailed and well-written. You were very good at rendering the scenes and were very appealing. You have strong storytelling abilities, so the main song will be given to you three. I have written down the specific requirements on paper. If you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Zhou Tong was pushed forward by Ke Zian and Yuan Jiafei and took the paper from Shen Xiu.
After taking the paper, Zhou Tong didn't dare to stay for a moment and quickly walked back to his friends.
The three of them gathered together curiously to see what Shen Xiu wrote on the paper.
After reading it, the three of them looked at each other in shock.
The other team members were extremely curious when they saw the expressions of the three people, but as they were under Shen Xiu's nose, they did not dare to gather together without permission. They could only stretch their necks and stare.
But Zhou Tong was holding the paper, and Yuan Jiafei and Ke Zian stood close to him, lowering their heads to block it completely, so they didn't see anything at all.
There is no gap left at all, so annoying!
With three fewer eyes on him, Shen Xiu felt relieved. He glanced at the words on the notebook on the table and continued, "Xia Wenhao, the lyrics you wrote are very special. They are emotionally intense, bizarre and twisted. They are memorable and unforgettable. So, I'll leave the chorus to you."
In the emotions that Ke Zian, Zhou Tong and Yuan Jiafei render through the main song, which are layered and continuously built up, it requires explosive words like those written by Xia Wenhao to reach the climax of a song.
As the climax, it cannot be restrained at all. It must be wild and explosive so that people will never forget it.
For this reason, Shen Xiu reminded: "Don't worry about anything, just write freely."
Xia Wenhao didn't expect that Shen Xiu would go to the 10th floor to watch the team members create the content of the exam. He was happy but ashamed at the same time.
He thought that only Teacher Xue could see it, but he didn’t expect that Shen Xiu could see it now.
Fortunately, Shen Xiu didn't think he was seriously ill, but admired him instead.
Xia Wenhao took the paper and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, I will try my best!"
"Ye Cheng, Gao Yongshi, you two have a keen sense of music. When the song comes out, you will be responsible for the prelude, the main chorus, and the outro."
"Zhao Mingwei, Song Junying, you two got the highest scores in the dance assessment, and you said before that you can choreograph, so you will be in charge of the choreography this time."
All team members were arranged, and Shen Xiu finally said: "I will be responsible for the final comprehensive rectification."
No matter whether it is the verse or chorus written by the group members, or the dance choreographed, they cannot be used directly and need to be integrated.
"Of course, everything must be completed today."
today? !
Even if they are given two days, they may not be able to complete the task. This is not just forcing the issue, it is putting a knife on the duck's neck.
Although everyone had written about it during the previous creative assessment, can the private assessment creation be compared with such an important piece of music for the second performance?
Can they...really write well?
The groups hadn't recovered yet, and the next moment after hearing Shen Xiu's supplement, they began to doubt their lives.
Chen Xiu's eyes fell on Ke Zian and the other two who were in charge of the main song: "You must complete the composition of the main song before 12 noon."
"Xia Wenhao, you too."
"Ye Cheng, Zhao Mingwei, Song Junying, Gao Yongshi, I will give you the complete song at 2 pm. You must complete your tasks before 7 pm."
Team members: “???”
Are they collectively hallucinating?
Shen Xiu thought that he would simply integrate the main and chorus songs for two hours at noon, and the songs and dances would come out after seven o'clock in the afternoon.
He had a full five hours from seven o'clock to twelve o'clock at night to make final revisions.
If everything goes well, we can start training at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
After Shen Xiu finished making the arrangements, he followed the procedure and asked, “Are you confident?”
Under Shen Xiu's cold gaze, no one dared to say no, and answered with gritted teeth: "Yes."
Did Boss Xiu put them on the same level as him?
The new team members knew that Shen Xiu might be strict, but they never expected that Shen Xiu was not just strict, but harsh.
Can they really accomplish it?
Shen Xiu added: “During this process, if you have any questions, you can always come to me.”
Hearing this, everyone came back to life a little bit, and this time the response was much louder than last time: "Okay!"
Shen Xiu: “Let’s get started.”
Shen Xiu finished speaking, closed his notebook and left the practice room.
On the one hand, Shen Xiu was afraid that everyone would feel uncomfortable if he stayed in the practice room, and on the other hand, Shen Xiu needed to borrow something from the program crew.
After learning from Zhou Tong during the first public stage training, Shen Xiu now not only masters the skill of shamelessly asking the program crew for things, but also masters various makeup techniques.
[Oh my God, what did I say, Xiu Xiu? Why can’t I hear it? It’s so painful! 】
[Why did everyone’s faces change after Boss Xiu finished speaking? Why did his complexion improve in the end? I hate the production team for being the riddlers! 】
[Where is my royal lip-reading translator?] Why haven’t you come yet! If you don’t come again, I’m going to make trouble.
[Ahem, sisters, based on the nature of the program crew, I have a bad feeling...]
Inside the practice room.
After Shen Xiu left, the team members were obviously more relaxed. After being suppressed for a long time under Shen Xiu's nose, everyone couldn't help but start chatting.
It’s not that everyone really wants to talk because they are relaxed, but after experiencing high pressure, they always want to say something to relax.
Just like the student days, we were too suppressed to speak in class, but after class we would always gather together and yell a few words to relieve stress.
"As soon as the repair team left, the air became warmer."
“When I was being watched by the repair team, I finally experienced what it felt like to be under great pressure.”
"But...what did Team Xiu go do?"
Everyone was silent about this question.
"We don't dare to ask."
"We must complete it today. Instead of worrying about where the repair team is going, we should worry about ourselves."
"Yeah, if I can't finish it... Oh, I don't dare to think about it. Captain Xiu's aura is so strong and cold. I'm afraid I'll be frozen into a fool."
In less than five minutes, all team members saw the short story about the song theme at the top of the paper.
The story was not long, only about 500 words, but this short story made the team members' eyes sore and their hearts depressed.
Yuan Jiafei: "I didn't expect that Chen Xiu asked us to be responsible for the main song, but he wrote such detailed notes on creation and song outlines, and gave us references on what emotions the lyrics should have at different stages. It doesn't seem difficult to finish this in one morning."
Ke Zian murmured, "From the theme story written by Captain Xiu and the preview of the effect he wanted to convey, I seem to be able to easily experience the emotional level of repression, redemption, and explosion..."
The other four people who had just started to exert their strength in the afternoon came closer to look at the paper that Shen Xiu gave to Ke Zian, the other two, and Xia Wenhao. After reading it, they exclaimed: "It's worthy of Shen Xiu!"
Zhou Tong: "After reading what Captain Xiu wrote, my thoughts and emotions were stimulated, and the pictures appeared in my mind. If I still can't write lyrics that Captain Xiu is satisfied with, I feel ashamed to see him!"
Xia Wenhao agreed: "Yeah!"
After speaking, Xia Wenhao looked at the seven people present and stretched out his hand with a firm expression: "So, in order not to let Shen Xiu down, and in order not to drag Shen Xiu back, we must try our best!"
The seven people put their hands on the back of Xia Wenhao's hands with firm eyes, eight hands overlapped, and firm voices rang out in the quiet practice room.
"come on!!!"
The audience was full of questions.
[Wait, something happened that I don’t know about? Why are you all suddenly cheering each other on? 】
[Haha, I have matured and silently added the program crew to my assassination list! 】
Shen Xiu pushed open the door of the practice room carrying a black bag and saw everyone's hands folded together at a glance.
Shen Xiu: Hmm?
The groups didn't expect that Shen Xiu pushed the door open just after they finished shouting "Come on!" and before anyone had time to let go of their hands.
Afraid that Chen Xiu would think they were slacking off, everyone withdrew their hands immediately, gathered in groups of three or four, and prepared to find a corner to start completing the task assigned by Chen Xiu.
Thinking about the action of everyone putting their hands together, they should be encouraging each other. As the captain, it seems that they cannot fall behind.
Shen Xiu closed the door, turned around and faced everyone and said stiffly: "Come on." This time they work together, they will definitely be able to do it!
Hearing Shen Xiu's cold voice, the team members froze, their ears turned red, and their faces became hot.
Team Xiu must have heard it at the door. How embarrassing!
"Ahem...Okay."
"Well, thank you, Captain Xiu."
Shen Xiu carried a black bag and placed it on the table against the wall. He took out eight pairs of noise-canceling headphones from the bag and placed them on the table: “Here are noise-canceling headphones. If you need them, come and get them yourself.”
After speaking, Chen Xin walked to the multimedia equipment table and sat down: "If you need anything, be sure to find me."
"......Um."
Having said that, who has the courage to find Shen Xiu? The team members roared in their hearts.
But...it turns out that Chen Xiu went to the production team to get noise-cancelling headphones, so thoughtful!
Shen Xiu did a very thorough job in the preliminary work. Both the verse and the chorus parts were completed before twelve o'clock in the morning.
It has been completed, but the effect of the completion is unknown.
When Zhou Tong and Xia Wenhao handed the paper to Shen Xiu, they felt uneasy.
Zhou Tong: "Captain Xiu, can you take a look...? "
Xia Wenhao: "If you have any questions, just tell me. Don't be polite with me. I will change it!" He can bear it!
Chen Xiu picked up the two copies of the lyrics on the table. Someone was standing in front of him. Chen Xiu was very nervous and tried hard to block out the fact that there was someone standing in front of him. Then Chen Xiu began to concentrate on checking.
In the short few minutes of waiting for Shen Xiu's evaluation, Zhou Tong and Xia Wenhao felt like every second was an eternity.
In this scene, they really imagined that the head teacher called them in front of the whole class while they were reading.
When the two were so nervous that their palms were sweating, Shen Xiu finally finished reading it, raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, and said in a dry voice: "They are all very good, there are only some problems with the details, I will modify it and it will be fine."
After saying that, Shen Xiu paused for two seconds to catch his breath before continuing, “It’s hard work!”
Team Xiu actually said that they wrote very well! Zhou Tong and Xia Wenhao were so flattered by the compliment that their voices trembled with excitement: "It's not hard!"
Shen Xiu: "You guys go eat."
With someone here, his attention will be easily distracted, and he is afraid that the poor integration effect will affect the team's performance stage effect.
"OK!"
Ever since Shen Xiu said it was a good idea, everyone's tense bodies relaxed unconsciously, and they responded and left happily.
Watching the door close, Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, uncapped his pen, opened his notebook, put the verse and chorus in front of him, and began to write.
Snap!
Just after writing one word, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened. Shen Xiu almost lost control of the strength of the pen tip and drew a heavy mark on the paper.
Shen Xiu raised his eyes and looked towards the door in horror.
Xia Wenhao poked his head in from outside the door, met Chen Xiu's cold gaze, and asked with gritted teeth: "Chen Xiu, what do you want to eat for lunch? We will bring it back for you."
Although Chen Xiu said that they wrote well, judging from Chen Xiu's attitude, it was unknown how long they would spend in the practice room revising at noon.
Hearing Xia Wenhao's words, Shen Xiu recalled that the team members had shown the same concern for him during the first public performance, and his heart ached.
His throat slid up and down, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat because of emotion: "It's all right. I can eat anything."
Whether it was the previous team or this team, the trainees he met were all very nice.
All these good things are gradually alleviating his resistance to the outside world and making him feel that he has become noticeably more lively and vivid than before. He is no longer repeating himself mechanically, and no longer just living a life of mediocrity and muddling through the past.
Is that a simple meal? It is the care and love of his teammates for him!
What else does he want from a bicycle! What qualifications do you have to make demands! And...he has never been a picky eater since he was a child, he really eats everything.
The answer was exactly the same as before, Xia Wenhao nodded: "Okay!"
The door closed again, Shen Xiu took a deep breath, and after bringing his emotions out of the previous touching moment, he put on his noise-cancelling headphones, and his eyes fell on the story outline he had written and the lyrics written by his teammates, letting himself get caught up in the story while continuing to write...
In the corridor.
As soon as Xia Wenhao closed the door, the team members walked towards the elevator and asked excitedly: "How is it? What does Team Xiu want to eat?"
Xia Wenhao: "Chen Xiu said he can do anything."
Yuan Jiafei scratched his head, puzzled: "Didn't they say on TV that big guys are picky eaters? They don't eat carrots, coriander, celery, chicken, etc."
Ke Zian whispered: "I don't eat coriander and ear roots either, but I'm not a big shot."
Zhou Tong: "If it's just coriander and radish, I won't eat it either."
Gao Yongshi was angry: "Coriander is so delicious, but carrots are so disgusting, you really have no taste!"
Song Junying: "That's it! Folding door!"
Ye Cheng: "Well... maybe, we are talking about Team Xiu."
As a foodie who eats everything, Ye Cheng couldn't understand why they could quarrel over this?
Afraid that Shen Xiu would be disappointed in him, Xia Wenhao was so focused when writing the song that he felt like all his brain cells were about to fall out. At this moment, when he heard his teammates arguing about food, he was too lazy to roll his eyes. He entered the elevator, leaned against the elevator wall, closed his eyes and spoke.
"Perhaps you have heard that even though a boss has a very powerful background and is very powerful himself, the outside world does not know too much about his specific preferences."
"Even when it comes to their food preferences, they will deliberately conceal them from the outside world. If others find out, they are likely to tamper with the food they like, making it easy for them to fall for it."
After Xia Wenhao said this, the team members immediately understood.
"Damn, so this is why Captain Xiu eats everything but never shows any interest in anything!"
"I can't believe that Team Xiu is so cautious."
The live broadcast room after leaving each group's practice room is normal and the audience can hear the trainees' voices.
[Damn, I didn’t even think of this! 】
[Contrary to what Xia Wenhao said, no wonder my sister only eats a little bit of everything at the dinner party, never a single bite, and the same goes for drinks, she never drinks too much. It turns out she is afraid that others will take advantage of her preferences and do something to her in private. 】
[Imagine if there are people eating at a table, and there is one thing that is my favorite, and if someone puts something in it to target me, and I am the only one who is dazzled... it is too scary, and it is really hard to guard against. 】
[Although but...folding door! 】
[Hahaha, the person above is really stubborn.] 】
At the same time, the crew of "That Summer".
Duan Mingfei was going to attend an event, so Du Heng asked for leave from the crew and drove to the crew to pick up Duan Mingfei.
The event site was not far from the film and television base. After Duan Mingfei changed into his event suit, he leaned back in the nanny car and closed his eyes to rest. The makeup artist carefully put makeup on Duan Mingfei.
When the car was halfway through the journey, Duan Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at his agent who was sitting in the passenger seat in front of him.
Q: "What is the situation of the Reuters of the crew of "That Summer"?"
The day when Du Heng bought the trending search, he encountered the news that Chen Xiu from "Young Man Invincible" and a large group of trainees became popular, and he was sweating.
In order to avoid Duan Mingfei getting angry before the event and thus affecting the event, Du Heng cleverly used his speaking skills.
"Something went wrong that day and we didn't get it. I bought it again later and it turned out pretty good. Fans really like your appearance in the drama."
In the following days, he did buy the hot searches again, and the square data he found out was "processed" and looked lively and good.
Duan Mingfei smiled: "Well done."
"Haha...of course I should." Du Heng laughed and prayed that the topic would end there.
Duan Mingfei was not satisfied with what Du Heng had hoped for, so he asked, "What about Shen Xiu?"
Du Heng: "...Sorry, Brother Ming, I can't find any news about Chen Xiu."
"What did you say?"
Duan Mingfei's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Didn't I ask you to find a private detective?"
Du Heng: “I found it.”
He knew Duan Mingfei's temper, so how could he not look for him.
Finding someone to investigate others in private is not something that can be discussed openly, but everyone does this in private, and Du Heng does not think that he did anything wrong.
But the result was indeed not good. Du Heng said in a low voice, "I looked for several people but found nothing."
"I don't believe it!"
Duan Mingfei's voice suddenly became sharp, and then Duan Mingfei quickly realized that something was wrong with his emotions. He took a deep breath and calmed down his anxiety.
Dao: “A person living in this world, from birth to death, studying and working, will leave traces. Now you tell me that you can’t find anything about Shen Xiu. Isn’t this a joke?”
Similarly, no matter who a person is, it is impossible for them to be perfect and without weaknesses.
Du Heng: "I understand what you mean, Brother Ming, but I never dare to lie to you. You know this, Brother Ming, there is really no news about Chen Xiu."
"His classmates, even Shen Xiu's teacher, have no information at all. It seems that the information about Shen Xiu is blocked by something."
"Shield?" Duan Mingfei frowned and muttered these two words, then sneered: "I understand."
"I knew it. How could one person charge so fiercely? Turns out there's someone behind him." Du Heng couldn't find out, so he guessed that Shen Xiu's background information was protected by someone.
This approach didn't work, so Duan Mingfei recalled the audition process and decided to look for another way.
"Doesn't the boy band audition have a welfare cooperation stage? You can contact the production team and tell them that you will participate. The remuneration will not be too high."
Given his current status in the entertainment industry, he would definitely be welcomed by the program crew.
If he met him in person, he didn't believe that he couldn't get anything out of Shen Xiu.
Du Heng also felt that this was the only way to get in touch with Shen Xiu at the moment, and nodded: "Okay, Brother Ming, I'll contact the program team right away!"
Who is so hardworking! (Looking at himself in the mirror) (Suddenly startled) Ah! It's me (flying out of the galaxy with satisfaction)
