Chapter 90: Cheating! (Two in One)
The top four debut competition of "The Birth of a Group" officially ended after the topic selection phase and the host's closing remarks.
In the second class dormitory.
Lin Zhixing helped Dong Chen pack his luggage, and the scattered items added up to fill up a suitcase.
Dong Chen touched the class 2 uniform he had taken off, looked around the room, and a look of reluctance appeared in his eyes.
"Have you finished cleaning up? You're slower than the girls, that's enough!"
Ji Yu glanced at the watch on his wrist and urged at the door while dragging his suitcase.
“Alright, alright!”
Dong Chen left his class uniform in the room and carried his suitcase out of the dormitory with Lin Zhixing.
The four of them walked and talked along the way.
"Have you found a place to live?"
Lin Zhixing patted Dong Chen on the back and asked with concern.
Dong Chen smiled and nodded, "We have booked a hotel nearby. We will stay here for a week, and then we will hang out with you, Brother Lin!"
"Okay, sure."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded. "Accommodation is provided upon joining the company. I will rent two larger apartments near the company and we can live together."
“That’s great!”
Dong Chen smiled and praised Ji Yu beside him: "Brother Lin's life plan is clearer than my jawline."
“That’s enough!”
Lin Zhixing curled his lips after hearing this, "How can you praise me for taking care of myself?"
"Hahaha!"
This smile eased the originally sad atmosphere a lot.
"Brother Lin, if you and Pigeon want to eat anything, tell me on WeChat. I'll find a way to secretly deliver it to you after I buy it!"
Dong Chen patted his chest and said, "As long as it's something you two like to eat, whether it's flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea, big or small, fragrant or sweet, you can name it, I'll get it for you two!"
Lin Zhixing looked at Dong Chen's flattering face, rolled his eyes and said: "Those flying in the sky should stir up clouds for me, those running on the ground should make a whirlwind, the big ones should suffocate camels, and the small ones should blow up the hearts of ants."
Dong Chen: “…”
"You can't beat Brother Lin with your words!"
Ji Yu smiled and patted Dong Chen, then turned to Song Ge who was feeling a little down and said, "Gege, keep it up, do well in the next race, I'll cheer for you on TV next time!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Song Ge forced a smile and nodded.
After getting off the elevator, I arrived at the lobby entrance of the recording building.
Dong Chen and Ji Yu took the luggage, smiled and waved, saying, "Let's just send it here. It's inconvenient for you to send it later. Brother Lin, Pigeon, see you next week!"
“See you next week!”
…
…
In the first class dormitory.
Lin Zhixing had just returned to the dormitory when the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took out his phone and took a look. It was Wang Cong calling.
Normally, he would ask Zhang Sihui to contact him, so why did she call him today? Lin Zhixing slid the screen to answer the call.
"Hey, Cong-ge."
"Xiao Lin, don't take what happened in the recording session just now seriously. I really didn't expect that he would dare to give you a low score even though he knew you were an artist under my company!"
So that's what it was.
Lin Zhixing heard Dong Chen say when he was helping him pack his luggage just now that the talented man and beautiful woman were in the same music company as Guo Jiahe. He was partial to her and they had some grudges against each other, so it was easy to explain why he wanted to widen the gap between them.
"It's ok, Brother Cong. His tricks failed and he still made it to the semi-finals. He even outshined the handsome man and pretty girl. He must be very upset now."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Cong's voice was very angry.
"I've made a note of this. Next time, I will definitely give that handsome man and pretty girl a low score. You guys should prepare well for the competition this week and try to get a good ranking in the finals. I will buy more hot searches for you guys!"
"Okay, Cong."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.
People like Wang Cong seem difficult to get along with at first, but when you really get to know him, he turns out to be quite loyal.
Song Ge was sitting next to him. He heard the content of the phone call and was aware of the importance of the next competition. He pursed his lips with a little anxiety.
"Zhixing, are we still going to the cafeteria to eat?"
"I'm not hungry. If you want to eat, I'll go with you."
"I'm not hungry either. Have you prepared the song for the next episode? We have a tight schedule of one week and we still have to sing two songs. If we have a song, let's practice it now."
After hearing this, the corners of Lin Zhixing's mouth that were curled up gradually straightened.
When I think about the next game, I feel overwhelmed.
Regardless of whether Guo Jiahe will target me in the next episode, just the two songs I have to sing in the next episode are enough to make me worried.
During the competition just now, the system only gave me one song, and I don’t know how to get the second song. If no task pops up within a week, do I have to sing the indigenous songs of Blue Star?
The song "Years of Friendship" is also very worrying. Not to mention whether it will be popular with the audience without film and television works, the language of the song is a headache.
The Mandarin version simply can't sing that flavor, and if it's Cantonese, Song Ge probably won't be able to do it.
My Cantonese level is pretty good.
In my previous life, one of my roommates was from Guangzhou. I was influenced by him during the four years in college. Sometimes when he heard a Cantonese song he liked, he would ask about it with interest. My singing might not be very authentic, but I should still be able to sing it.
How can we help her improve her Cantonese in a week? It's not easy, we can only listen first.
"There's no rush to practice singing, let's watch a movie first."
After making up his mind, Lin Zhixing got up and went back to his room.
"Ah? But..."
Song Ge was a little confused. The competition was becoming more and more difficult, and he felt that now was not the time to relax.
Soon, Lin Zhixing walked out of the room holding a laptop, put the computer on the coffee table, thought for a while, and selected a Cantonese romance movie.
Then he pointed to the computer screen and explained, "Look, listen to the accents of the actors in the movie. It will help you in the next competition."
Just as he finished speaking, the WeChat notification sounded and he picked up the phone on the sofa.
Will it be helpful for the next competition? Listen to the actors' accents more? Do we need to learn to sing in dialect for the next competition? Seeing him pick up his phone and get busy, Song Ge didn't ask any more questions. He leaned back on the sofa and watched carefully.
She frowned when she heard the accent of the actors in the movie.
It's Cantonese. This is very difficult to learn. Is a week enough? Lin Zhixing opened WeChat and saw a message from Dong Chen.
[Dong Chen]: Brother Lin, Ji Yu and I have already checked in. I just took a look at Weibo and found that your fans and Guo Jiahe’s fans were arguing with each other. You should go and take a look!
[Lin Zhixing]: Okay, take a rest.
The fans started cursing?
Is it because of the scoring?
After Lin Zhixing replied to the message, he quickly opened Weibo.
The personal center was all red, with 99+ messages and an additional 100,000 fans before the competition.
Are my haters still following me? I swiped the screen to open the message center and scanned it from top to bottom.
[I fell in love with "Coral Sea", this is the most beautiful music I have ever heard, thank you, yeah brother! ]
[It turns out that my parents are the only ones in my family who are your fans. From tonight on, I will also become your fan! ]
[I have never voted in this program, but after hearing your song tonight, I cast my first vote. I look forward to your song in the next episode! ]
Lin Zhixing looked at the rows of positive reviews and wondered, these are all compliments, and no one is cursing?
I think he cursed under Guo Jiahe’s Weibo.
He poked the screen and opened Guo Jiahe’s Weibo.
Weibo certification - singer, captain of Super July M.
13 million followers on Weibo.
Lin Zhixing was a little surprised to see the number of fans. It has only been two years since his debut, but the number of fans has exceeded 10 million. He is indeed the most popular member of the top boy band.
My own Weibo account doesn’t even have a fraction of theirs, with only 2.9 million followers.
His latest Weibo post was a selfie of himself getting his hair done, which received over 300,000 likes and over 80,000 comments.
[Do you like this hairstyle? Does it remind you of when you first debuted two years ago? ]
Lin Zhixing clicked on the comment section of this Weibo post and took a look.
As expected, fans from both sides cursed him on his Weibo, and the language was quite harsh, even rising to personal attacks.
"Stop taking pictures. If you draw a vertical line on your face, it'll be your butt!"
"Guo Jiahe, you are less than 30 years old this year, right? You can still live two more 30s, 9:30, 10:30, and there are still two hours!"
"Do you know why I scolded you? You are playing too dirty. You gave such a good song a second-rate rating. Are you deliberately targeting me?"
"Not as good as Xiao Shiyi Niang's song, and can only be ranked second? Tell the truth next time, and just say that a company will take care of it."
Most of the fans who came to criticize him were male fans. There was one male fan with amazing fighting power. He debated with many people in the comment section. There was one comment that made Lin Zhixing laugh.
"Sister, are you competing with me in cursing? When I was cursing, your father was rubbing his balls when he passed by the threshold!"
Guo Jiahe's side is full of female fans, and it is obvious that he cannot win the fight. Cursing has no killing power. There are even sisters in the humble group.
"Can't you give a score based on your own preferences? Do you guys have pig brains?"
"Please, stop scolding me. If you don't scold me, I will treat you better, okay?"
"Okay sister, I agree."
"Sure, lend it to me. After you finish watching it, I'll help you guys curse Oh Ye-ge!"
"Don't believe it, I just saw it, it's bigger than mine!"
Comfortable!
Lin Zhixing watched for nearly twenty minutes. Seeing that his fans were so powerful, he imagined how angry Guo Jiahe must be when he read the Weibo, and he felt much happier.
…
In the other bedroom.
Zhang Long and Li Zhenzhen returned to the dormitory and sat on the sofa in silence, having not yet come out of the shadow of failure.
After a long time, Li Zhenzhen took a deep breath, cheered herself up and spoke first.
"It's no use being dejected now. Although our brilliance has been suppressed this time, we haven't been eliminated. We still have a chance. We should think of a solution now."
Zhang Long sighed, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, and said dejectedly: "My best song has failed, what else can I do?"
"Why don't you call your aunt and ask? For the next two songs, your aunt isn't good at choosing friendship topics, so we can try her song again for the second one!"
"Even if she has the lyrics, I can't compose a tune in a week. We might as well stop here."
Zhang Long took a puff of his cigarette, and said with red eyes: "You should be regretting teaming up with me instead of him, right?"
Li Zhenzhen put her head on his shoulder and said, "I don't regret it, even if I'm eliminated."
…
In the dance room.
"Look at what you guys have become!"
"The company has spent so much effort in training you, and this is how you repay the company? From the previous first place in every issue, you have fallen to third place in the overall score. Do you still want to debut as the champion?"
The eight boys from the Sunshine Boys Group stood in a row with their heads down, listening to their company agent scolding them, not daring to make a sound.
"Do you want to? I'm asking you a question!"
"think!"
The eight young men responded in unison.
The agent nodded. "Okay, since you still want to debut as champions, you must practice hard this week! Do you know why today's topic is friendship?"
The eight young men looked at each other and shook their heads.
The agent lowered his voice and said, "Because there are only friendship topics in the box!"
"The company has created a great new song for you, a song about friendship, and it's really an advantage for the eight of you to sing this song! Through these episodes of building your personalities, you will become good brothers in the eyes of the audience, and you will win in terms of stage impressions!"
After hearing this, the eight young men showed a hint of joy on their faces, and the corners of their mouths curled up.
Seeing that they were still laughing, the manager glared at them and yelled, "From now on, you will practice this new song until the early morning! I will come to check on you in the early morning. If you can't practice well, you will have to practice all night!"
"good!"
…
In the first class dormitory.
After reading the Weibo, Lin Zhixing had nothing to do, so he accompanied Song Ge to watch a movie.
As he watched, he suddenly remembered something.
When I upgraded my rap level from B to A, in addition to giving me the skill of [Sanskrit Voice], the system also gave me the ability to empower my partner to learn, which was limited to one chance.
After Lin Zhixing remembered, he immediately called up the system panel.
【Learning ability】: 1. Cooking learning ability, 2. Language learning ability, 3. Dance learning ability, 4. Finance learning ability, 5. Couples learning ability...
This involves "language learning ability".
Lin Zhixing actually wanted to make use of his only chance to improve his "cooperation ability", which would enhance his partner's ability and benefit himself as well.
But the situation is extremely urgent right now. If I don’t have this “language ability” and can’t sing the song “Years of Friendship” well, I might be eliminated.
Just deal with it as an emergency measure, and consider it later when the "cooperation ability" of pop music B is upgraded to A.
After Lin Zhixing made up his mind, he reluctantly chose to give his partner the "language ability" option.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully granting the partner the ability. The ability takes effect immediately. ]
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Zhixing turned his head to look at Song Ge and found that she looked unchanged and was still concentrating on watching the movie.
After the movie.
Lin Zhixing looked at Song Ge, whose thoughts had not yet been diverted from the plot, and asked curiously.
"Pigeon, when you were in school, did your teachers ask you to practice singing Cantonese songs? Do you know how to sing Cantonese songs?"
Song Ge looked embarrassed and shook his head.
"I haven't practiced it. I don't know Cantonese."
"???"
Lin Zhixing listened to her standard Cantonese pronunciation and his eyes widened in disbelief.
