Chapter 21
"The stage is the place where dreams are made."
This time the program team spent a lot of money to build a huge circular rotating stage, which was cut into four independent sub-stages, and each time there were four groups of contestants standing by on the stage.
The four instructors are watching from the stage, each with a light in front of them. If two people press the light during the performance, the stage that is performing will be forcibly closed and the next stage will be rotated.
A complete performance represents the approval of the instructor, and then the audience votes to determine the ranking.
The audience can also choose three more contestants from the stage rejected by the instructor to watch the complete rehearsal clip.
In this round of stage, six contestants will be eliminated, bid farewell forever, and will never be resurrected.
Before the recording, the tutors temporarily received the communication information from the program group:
"This stage evaluation should not be based on the previous script, please respect the professionalism of the instructors."
Burn after reading.
The four mentors were so angry that they asked them to put water on some contestants before they dared to show their feelings. The program team planned to shake it off.
However, there are still two conditions attached to the program group.
First, it is necessary to ensure that the pass rate of the stage is greater than 50%.
Second, player No. [-] Zhou Siqi must pass.
Xu Zhitai, the fake stick, thought about it for a long time, and finally called Chen Yuanyuan.
"Brother, you have changed this script a little too fast."
Chen PD groaned on the phone for a long time, comforted his little girlfriend, and then went to the bathroom with his hands on the phone, squatted on the toilet, and lit a cigarette.
"That's right, the investors this time are very naughty, and I can't figure out their temper."
"What kind of background do they have?" Xu Zhi was too curious. He hadn't paid much attention to the behavior of domestic investors in these years.
"I don't know, and I can't figure it out. People who come into contact with us have a deep relationship with the entertainment industry, but they have never invested in a talent show. Logically, cross-border investment would not be so foolish." Chen PD took a deep puff on his cigarette.
This kind of indifferent feeling is particularly terrifying. The other party's attitude is light and light, but the money is generous. If it is really for the sake of flattering Zhou Siqi, it can be said clearly, but it is just a hint of knowing Zhou Siqi at the dinner, that's all, later. There are no entrustments.
How could someone take money for charity? ? ?
"Then why don't we think so much and concentrate on making a professional program?" Xu Zhitai felt a surge of pride, thinking back then, he and Chen Yuanyuan were also young artists with great ambitions, but the ambitions have been clouded for so many years.
Chen PD exhaled the last puff of smoke ring, and viciously crushed the butt of the cigarette on the sink, "Damn!"
"Chen Yuanyuan! Are you constipated! Squatting on the toilet to pull gold?"
The little girlfriend started to use the stingy door. It was clearly agreed half an hour ago to accompany her to the International Finance Building to buy a bag.
Chen pd quickly closed the line.
The stage live broadcast will start on time at [-] o'clock on Friday night.
The contestants have been rehearsing in the music classroom all morning, and the camera follows each contestant. These shooting highlights will be used as direct-shooting materials, and the VIP audience on the platform will receive exclusive easter eggs after choosing the contestants.
The post-production department has turned on the day and night overtime mode, not 996, but 007.
The lottery for the order of appearances was completed one day in advance. Thirty stages needed to be set up in such a short period of time. Several batches of stage art groups had already been killed, and the first seven might just coincide with the broadcast day.
Both Tang Xiaozhou and Ren Yubo drew the previous numbers, one number six and one number ten.
Chu Yufan drew the same number as his initial ranking, NO.14.
Zhou Siqi is the penultimate one, also known as the finale.
When drawing numbers, each person enters a small closed room, pulls a rocker next to a giant jar, rolls out a number ball, and then records an interview footage.
Although there are two notaries as door gods, Tang Xiaozhou thought that if the program crew didn't release the water, he would swallow his white ball.
It's just that after getting along with Zhou Siqi for so long, Tang Xiaozhou would rather Zhou Siqi win the first place than other players.
Tang Xiaozhou patted Ren Yubo, "Xiaobo, wait for brother, I'll go up and give you a sample first."
Ren Yubo: "Tang Xiaozhou, are you nervous again?"
Tang Xiaozhou made a cut, and turned to Chu Yufan, "Xiaofan, are you not nervous?"
Chu Yufan thought for a while, and asked earnestly, "When can we get the money?"
Tang Xiaozhou's tone was more serious, "Xiaofan, in fact, you look like this, and there are many ways to make money..."
Zhou Siqi strangled his neck with his elbow from behind, almost pinching him until his vocal cords lost his voice.
"Strange, how did Meng Youzhe get the number one?" Zhou Siqi just let go of Tang Xiaozhou's life, and he began to gossip again. Logically, this kind of seed player should be placed in the lower position.
He didn't know if he was wrong, Zhou Siqi from Yushu Linfeng gave a cold and charming smile.
Oh~ The capital fight is really exciting, Tang Xiaozhou clicked his tongue twice in his heart.
One hour before the live broadcast, all players stood in the designated positions.
Standing under stage 2, Chu Yufan watched the staff around him rushing to use their hands and feet as if fighting a war, and his heart beat faster for no reason.
Isn't it just a show?Why does the lighting engineer adjust the lighting time after time, the director test the audio equipment time and time again, and the cameraman checks the camera position non-stop...
Isn't the stage just a momentary record of light and shadow?The attitude of these staff members is completely beyond the normal working state, and they are as excited as a few liters of chicken blood.
The spotlight also convulsed with the frequency of his heartbeat, and the lighting engineer was so scared that he knelt on the ground, worshiping the god of the stage to show mercy.
Zhou Siqi stood beside Chu Yufan, looking at his gradually petrified face, he remembered that he didn't have any stage experience.
Zhou Siqi patted his stiff shoulders lightly, and Chu Yufan's heartbeat finally calmed down.
"Well, don't be nervous, there is no audience in this audience, just treat your instructors as winter melons."
Zhou Siqi has participated in various competitions since elementary school. At first, his grandparents accompanied him. In the year after his grandfather passed away, he went to the New Year's Concert at the Vienna Concert Hall. Smiling and applauding made him feel less lonely.
Recalling the first time I went on stage, half of my body was stiff, and I didn't even know my hands and feet.Zhou Siqi stroked Chu Yufan's hair, which was as soft as the hair of a small animal.
The night before yesterday, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out the scissors and trimmed Chu Yufan's hair. Only then did he realize that Chu Yufan's ears couldn't be touched.
Under the power of the broom star, the dormitory tripped three times in a row.
In the end, it was because Chu Yufan closed his eyes and gave up resistance that he finally cut it.
Chu Yufan's eyes fell on the staff who was checking the floor on the stage, "I don't understand."
ah?Zhou Siqi was stunned. Could it be that he didn't speak Chinese just now, why didn't he understand?
Chu Yufan was puzzled, "I don't understand why everyone is so nervous?"
At that moment, Zhou Siqi really suspected that Chu Yufan was not nervous, but not nervous at all. He was not nervous at all for a long time, and he wondered why others were nervous.
"Have you ever seen a live performance? I mean, musical recitals, operas, plays."
Zhou Siqi was afraid that Chu Yufan would misunderstand that he was laughing at him, so he added, "I just watched the stage as an audience."
Chu Yufan shook his head. He came to this world for three years, the first year he was preparing for the exam, and in the next two years he was almost always traveling between campuses, classrooms, dormitories, self-study rooms, and part-time jobs.
This kind of life is almost not much different from the future.In the city of the future, there are various aerial tracks between huge buildings, and the only destination is work.
"Oh, next time I have a chance, I'll take you to see a live performance, maybe you will understand why they are so nervous."
Zhou Siqi looked at the busy staff on the stage, maybe this was just a routine for them, but
"The stage is the place where dreams are made."
Zhou Siqi looked seriously into Chu Yufan's eyes, those gray-blue eyes were full of confusion, and he said softly, "Isn't it because of the existence of dreams that people live?"
"You are my dream."
Of course Zhou Siqi didn't dare to say this.
They stood where the light couldn't reach, but Chu Yufan saw the light in Zhou Siqi's eyes.
He lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know that people live because of dreams." For him in the future, living is an instinct.
When he came to this world, besides music, he has not found any other meaning.
Zhou Siqi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He didn't know how Chu Yufan lived before, but the sense of loss revealed in his words made him feel distressed.
He couldn't help stretching out his hand to hug him, but he abruptly changed his hand in mid-air and patted Chu Yufan's shoulder on the other side, his eyes dodging, "It's okay, we are friends now, what can you do with me in the future?" explain."
Speaking of which, since Zhou Siqi stopped being shocked by Chu Yufan, he touched his body recklessly.He is an only child and has never enjoyed the joy of bullying his younger brother.
Chu Yufan coldly slapped off the paw on his shoulder.
It turns out that Lingbo is also a coward who bullies the weak and fears the hard.
With a one-minute countdown to nine o'clock, the curtain opened and the stage began.
Chu Yufan stood quietly under the stage, everything around him turned gray, only the stage was shining with dazzling lights, full of unknown temptations.
This stage quickly triggered an upsurge of online discussions.
"I haven't seen such a real stage for many years, and the camera doesn't cut randomly. Finally, it doesn't look like a nightclub."
"Love love love, the little brothers are simply amazing."
"The mentor is ruthless, it's too unreasonable to press the lamp, although the evaluation is not bad."
"Don't say it, the part where the mentors quarrel is pretty good."
"What number did you choose? I locked number seven, and no one is allowed to compete with me."
……
The deputy director of the TV station is quite satisfied with the ratings of this program, which is almost equal to the Singles' Day Music Festival.
"Xiao Chen, let me just say that the talent show is still worth doing. You guys are just too lacking in self-confidence. Look at it and put some pressure on it. Wouldn't this be a good result?"
"You still have great foresight, and I still have to learn more from you." PD Chen stood up straight with a sincere face.
The deputy director hummed a little tune, took a new list of advertisers, and walked to the director's office.
Chen PD quickly switched from a smiling face to a sad one at the same second that the deputy director disappeared.
The stage live broadcast was under too much pressure and almost had an accident.
When the No. [-] contestant Chu Yufan performed to the last second, the mentor Han Yu pressed the veto light and contributed three and a half minutes of hot search clips.
Han Yu's reason for denying it was actually, "It is exactly the same as the previous submitted work, and there is no progress."
Producer Chen Sheng immediately jumped up, mocking Han Yu's ears for years that he hadn't heard what is really good music, "Why does a perfect work need to be changed?"
"Do you know what perfection is?"
"I don't understand, you understand?!"
The two quarreled violently, and the female judge Fei Wenli and the stick judge Xu Zhitai grabbed each other, and they barely stopped the fight on the spot.
The number of playbacks of the video of the mentor's fight even equaled that of Chu Yufan's pen-hold clips.
The director was fine-tuned, and kept switching between the instructor's seat and the next stage, and the barrage was full of curses.
The next contestant's stage ended without a sense of presence amidst the mentor's quarrel.
