This star doesn’t work overtime

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui barely slept last night.

I went to the company for a meeting yesterday, and the two of them were the protagonists!

However, it is the protagonist who is being studied.

The theme of the meeting was almost all about the mistakes made by the idols of tomorrow.

You shouldn't have invited Wang Cheng here so hastily, and even set the live broadcast time at 5 p.m. for the first time...

The two of them lacked confidence and did not refute. They remained silent throughout the whole process, but in the end they said they would work hard to make the show a good one.

After returning to the program group, Guo Shouxin asked the technical staff of the program group to test all the equipment on the stage overnight to ensure that there would be no more embarrassment like during the rehearsal. After the inspection, he sent people to test and trial it all night, and the technicians also stayed overnight. If there is any problem, it will be solved immediately.

Therefore, Guo Shouxin didn't sleep all night.

Liu Jiahui was not busy with this, but stayed with the publicity team of the program team, watching the publicity team work overtime all night, and started a battle in public opinion.

now!

Public opinion on the Internet is also a mess.

The topic that I don't watch live at 5 o'clock has always been very popular. It has been ranked in the top ten of the popular list for a week. It was ranked first at the highest point. So far, the number of people who have participated in the vote has exceeded 30 million, including 100. Eighty out of 10 people voted in favor and said they would not watch the live broadcast at 5 o'clock. The total number of people exceeded 25 million. Only a few million people rejected it and chose to watch the live broadcast at 5 o'clock.

In addition to this voting topic, there are several negative news about the Idol of Tomorrow program group that are also very popular.

For example, among the ten topics selected in the last vote, five topics prepared by the program team were added in the final draw. This made many voting viewers dissatisfied, and this topic was also wildly hyped, saying that the program team was not talking about it. No faith in waiting!

There are also those who are hyping up Wang Cheng for wearing a mask and disrespecting the audience.

Some people also broke the news that Wang Cheng acted like a big name in the program and disrespected the staff...

Some people also broke the news that Wang Cheng didn't want to perform anymore.

Some people also broke the news that Penguin Entertainment is supporting its own Wen Yixiao behind the scenes, which is unfair to other players!

A lot of negative news has come out one after another, and each one has a lot of popularity, attracting many people to watch and leave messages, which will of course have a negative impact on the program team.

The program team has been hyping up the contestants and topics this week, reducing the popularity of these negative news. However, they no longer regard Wang Cheng as the main target of hype, because the program team did not have enough confidence when hyping Wang Cheng, and even Not to mention Wang Cheng's new songs, they didn't dare to hype the new songs that were produced in two hours.

Therefore, Wen Yixiao was pushed out, making Wen Yixiao the name that appeared most frequently in the past week.

However, the voting topic is still extremely popular, and the promoters behind this topic are obviously constantly investing traffic resources to fight against the Tomorrow Idol program team.

And to be able to compete with the Tomorrow Idol program team backed by Penguin Entertainment and still not fall behind, you can imagine who is behind it. It must be one of the other five giants, or even a few...

Tomorrow's Idol has been controlling the largest traffic pool of TV variety shows in the traffic era in recent years, and this is controlled solely by Penguin Entertainment. Who doesn't want to take a piece of the pie? Or tear it down and rebuild it yourself?

Now, with Tomorrow's Idol making such big strides, competitors will seize this opportunity and naturally won't let it go easily.

That's why the company recalled Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui for a meeting, because Penguin Entertainment also felt the pressure and crisis from the industry.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui returned to the office at the same time and listened to the staff reporting the situation.

The entire program team, not only Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui, but also everyone else was under great pressure, had many things to do, and felt a little overwhelmed.

"Director Guo, Mr. Liu. Now we are temporarily taking advantage of the popularity of the show to suppress the negative news. But the voting topic has not been resolved yet. Someone behind the scenes has been investing resources to promote it. Unless special means are used, this The topic will probably always be there.”

Special means?

Then Penguin Entertainment Group will have to come forward to negotiate with the company behind the Weibo platform and pay a certain price to have the topic blocked directly.

However, that will definitely leave a buzz again.

Especially at this time, if this method is really used, it will really give the opponent a handle. The opponent will definitely seize this point again to hype up, and the offensive will be even more fierce.

So, this doesn't solve the underlying problem.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui shook their heads at the same time.

The staff continued: "After overnight maintenance on the stage, we can basically ensure that there will be no problems."

Guo Shouxin said in a deep voice: "What I want is not the basics, but 100% no problems!"

The staff member immediately said: "I guarantee there will be no problems 100%."

Guo Shouxin had some doubts about the rehearsals yesterday and the day before yesterday, and said: "Continue to inspect and repair until before the performance."

Staff: "Okay, I'll make arrangements later."

After saying that, the staff went out first.

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui just started eating breakfast, and the food was almost cold.

However, neither of them could care so much anymore.

While eating, Liu Jiahui said: "We have to be mentally prepared and prepare for the worst."

Guo Shouxin was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the performance of Huang Bin and others he saw yesterday. It was far worse than Wen Yixiao's performance. It was even worse than Wu Han and Ma Yunfei. It felt a bit messy. So what if Wang Cheng joined?

Liu Jiahui continued: "I have a good relationship with Wu Tong. His Spring and Summer With You ratings may become this year's variety show ratings champion, and there will be big development next year. The worst plan is that we go hang out with him then. There may be another chance in the future.”

Indeed, if Tomorrow’s Idol fails this year, then no other variety show can threaten the highest ratings of Spring and Summer, and it will be this year’s ratings champion.

But, if you fail, go hang out with Wu Tong?

Thinking that Wu Tong's success relied on Wang Cheng, which raised the ratings to a terrifying 3.7!

And when he got Wang Cheng, he screwed up the idol of tomorrow who had a higher basic level.

So if he and Wu Tong work together, how will others compare them?

His status in the industry has always been much higher than that of Wu Tong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one brother in variety shows in recent years.

And if Wu Tong can win this year's ratings championship and continue to be successful, it is impossible to say that he will become the new variety show brother and replace his position.

When the time comes when the former No. 1 brother goes to hang out with Wu Tong, the current No. 1 brother, what will everyone say?

How could he be so embarrassed?

Guo Shouxin continued to remain silent, having already rejected Liu Jiahui's proposal in his heart.

Seeing that Guo Shouxin remained silent.

Liu Jiahui stopped talking. Knowing the pride in Guo Shouxin's heart, he said: "Southern Guangdong TV just called me again and asked if the live broadcast this afternoon could be held at eight o'clock."

Guo Shouxin shook his head: "No! Let's wait until the end of today."

Liu Jiahui nodded: "Yes, that's what I said too. However, you must be mentally prepared for the live broadcast at 8 o'clock next week."

Guo Shouxin was not in the mood to eat anymore, so he put down the meal he had just eaten, turned around and walked out of the office, and continued to work.

Liu Jiahui watched Guo Shouxin leave and continued to eat. He could not help much if he went out.

Guo Shouxin came to the stage to check his work again and asked the assistant director: "How are the contestants?"

The assistant director immediately replied: "Basically, I get up after six o'clock and start practicing extra."

Guo Shouxin asked emphatically: "Where is Wang Cheng?"

Assistant Director: "Wang Cheng went out for a run at six o'clock. He came back for breakfast at seven-thirty, and then went back to the dormitory to read. He just went to the practice room at nine o'clock."

After the assistant director finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to continue talking.

All of them were so busy that they stayed up all night, including director Guo Shouxin and producer Liu Jiahui.

The other trainees only slept for more than five hours!

As a result, Wang Cheng still insisted on a relaxed schedule and slept for eight hours, as if he was not living in the same world as all of them.

Guo Shouxin's lips moved, and finally he sighed and said nothing.

…

Of course, Wang Cheng didn't pay attention to the comments about himself from the outside world, and he didn't even post a Weibo message.

The program team seemed to have forgotten to ask him to post on Weibo to promote it, so he didn't bother to post a message.

So, he hasn’t sent a message in almost three weeks.

But even so, his Weibo fans are still slowly increasing, and now there are 42 million...

This made many fellow trainees who followed Wang Cheng speechless and choked up, calling him unreasonable.

At nine o'clock, I came to the practice room on time.

Wang Cheng practiced very seriously with Huang Bin and Mo Bailin.

Over and over again, each time we try to find out the problems as much as possible, and each time we try to improve the tacit understanding of Huang Bin and others as much as possible, so that they can turn their dance moves into instinct and become a good backup dancer.

Sun Gang and Chen Xiaoyong stood by nervously and became the later guaranteers. Whatever Wang Cheng and Huang Bin needed, they would do it immediately.

Except for Wang Cheng, Huang Bin and others ate and drank in the practice room. Sun Gang and Chen Xiaoyong brought food from the canteen. They would only leave the practice room at night when they went to bed.

Until noon, Wang Cheng got off work and had dinner. Huang Bin and others continued to practice and would not leave the practice room at noon.

The other trainees were in almost the same state as Huang Bin and others. They were all eating and drinking in the practice room, and did not miss the last opportunity to practice before the live broadcast.

So, after Wang Cheng finished his meal, he was the only one in the whole cafeteria. Everyone else grabbed their food and left in a hurry. Only he sat there quietly and ate slowly before leaving.

Every manager or trainee teammate who saw Wang Cheng couldn't help but complain to others.

"Wang Cheng is the only one in the whole cafeteria eating slowly. Isn't his mentality really awesome? I'm too nervous to eat now."

"I heard that Director Guo is going to be so angry with him. If the live broadcast fails in the afternoon, it will definitely explode by then. Let's all be careful."

"I can't understand what he is doing at all..."

"Sure enough, it may be really broken. The live performance will be broadcast in three hours. He is not in a hurry. A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water!"

…

Wen Yixiao and Song Xue were a little speechless when they heard the gossip about Wang Cheng brought back by their Bagua teammates, but they were used to Wang Cheng's style of doing things, and they were all concentrating on preparing for their performances at this time, so Too lazy to pay attention to what Wang Cheng was doing.

Wen Yixiao shook her head and said: "No matter what he wants to do, it has nothing to do with us. Maybe, the ratings of this stage will depend on us, everyone, come on!"

After hearing this, Song Xue and others all raised their fighting spirit.

The outside world has always viewed them as inferior to Wang Cheng, and the program team and their company Penguin Entertainment also feel that they are inferior to Wang Cheng, so they are not regarded as stage support.

However, they have always been unconvinced.

They have always been the best since they stepped on the stage. They even eliminated Zhu Ziqi, who has over 10 million fans. They have been fighting all the way until now. Everyone is excellent and everyone is very popular. Wen Yixiao It has more than 20 million fans...

Why can't we rely on them to support stage ratings?

Wang Cheng can't show off anymore.

We can do it...

Song Xue buried her worries about Wang Cheng, but she wanted to rely on herself to raise the ratings, so that the pressure on Wang Cheng would not be so great.

A few people sat on the floor of the practice room, ate lunch in a hurry, and then started practicing again.

It’s time to start the live performance at five o’clock.

Less than four o'clock.

The program team summoned all the performance trainees to gather at the performance venue.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin quickly packed up and went over without waiting for Wang Cheng to come with them. They knew that Wang Cheng would go over on his own!

All other trainee teams arrived at the scene on time after being notified by the program team, sat in their seats in the contestant area, and waited quietly for the live performance time to arrive.

Every trainee's face looked very nervous and apprehensive.

They have never experienced a live performance on such a large stage.

When they performed live on their own show before, there wasn't such a big battle and there wasn't such a huge amount of attention.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin were even more nervous.

Because they have no experience in even a live broadcast performance, this is their first time to perform live on stage!

However, they felt a little more relaxed when they thought that they were just backup dancers and that Wang Cheng was there to withstand the pressure.

Liu Jinfeng rushed all the way as soon as he got off the plane. He arrived at the scene just before the live broadcast. He sat down next to Chen Xiaoyong, looked around, and asked, "Wang Cheng hasn't arrived yet?"

Chen Xiaoyong nodded: "Well, it's not four o'clock yet."

Liu Jinfeng looked at the time. It was indeed ten minutes before Wang Cheng's four o'clock afternoon work time. He was used to this and was a little speechless at this time.

Because the live broadcast is about to begin.

The program team made so many sacrifices and concessions for Wang Cheng.

As a result, Wang Cheng still went his own way and really didn't care about other people's feelings and thoughts at all!

Liu Jinfeng couldn't stand it anymore and asked in a low voice: "How was the rehearsal in the past two days?"

Chen Xiaoyong and Sun Gang looked strange. They were watching the whole process, and of course they knew what happened in the past two days.

Chen Xiaoyong briefly talked about the two rehearsals yesterday and the day before yesterday.

However, although he said it simply, Liu Jinfeng's face and muscles were already trembling. He could guess how much pressure the program team was under at this moment, and he could also clearly know how much anger Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui had suppressed in their hearts at this moment. It's like a volcano that's about to erupt at any time.

But at this time, he had traveled thousands of miles to come to the side of two volcanoes.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Liu Jinfeng only thought for less than ten seconds and realized that it was not appropriate for him to stay for a long time at this time.

He is the artist director of Wang Cheng's company. Wang Cheng does not have an exclusive agent yet. He, the artist director, negotiates the contracts in person, and the same goes for contracts with tomorrow's idols...

Waiting for today's live broadcast performance, Wang Chengyan failed, and then a scapegoat came down.

How could he run away?

Can Guo Shouxin, Liu Jiahui, and even Penguin Entertainment behind them let him go?

Of course, now that he has run away, it is impossible for him to escape unscathed, but at least he does not have to directly bear the wrath of Guo Shouxin and others from the program team immediately. As for being settled by Penguin Entertainment afterwards, that is the entire Dongxing Entertainment matter, and he does not have to bear it alone. …

Therefore, he said something to Chen Xiaoyong, stood up and prepared to leave. His butt was not yet warm from sitting, and he did not have time to chat with Huang Bin and Ma Yunfei, who was looking at him eagerly.

However, as soon as he stood up and was about to leave, he saw Guo Shouxin walking towards him.

Guo Shouxin looked a little tired at this time. He hadn't slept all night. The dark circles under his eyes were obvious, and his face was unkempt. His beard was unkempt and a little greasy. His clothes were not very clean, and he even looked a little embarrassed.

Liu Jinfeng was startled by Guo Shouxin's appearance. He stretched out his hand in a panic and said: "Director Guo, Director Guo, hello, are you busy?"

Guo Shouxin stared at Liu Jinfeng fiercely and did not shake hands with him. He just said seriously: "Don't go anywhere, just stay here and watch the live broadcast! I have something to discuss with you then."

Liu Jinfeng smiled bitterly and swallowed his words of farewell. He knew that it was useless to make any excuses now, so he could only stay and said: "Okay, I came here just to watch their live performance."

Guo Shouxin nodded, ignored Liu Jinfeng, walked towards Wen Yixiao over there, his tone softened a lot, and asked in a low voice: "Yixiao, how are you preparing?"

Wen Yixiao smiled at Guo Shouxin and said, "Don't worry, Director Guo, we are all ready, there will be no problem!"

Guo Shouxin looked at Wen Yixiao and the others who were in excellent condition, and nodded with satisfaction. This is what an excellent trainee should look like. He looked back at Huang Bin and the others, and there was not even a shadow of Wang Cheng there yet.

Tired!

Destroy it quickly.

Guo Shouxin kept up his energy and spoke to Wu Han, Ma Yunfei and other captains of other teams. When he passed by Huang Bin and others, he saw that Wang Cheng had not arrived yet and ignored Huang Bin and Liu Jinfeng. Went backstage.

Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, and even Liu Jinfeng were so frightened by Guo Shouxin's expression that they did not dare to express their anger, for fear that they would become Guo Shouxin's punching bag.

The other trainees also looked at Huang Bin and the others with curiosity and anxiety. When they saw that Wang Cheng hadn't appeared yet, they were a little dissatisfied and disdainful.

The Bagua teammate behind Wen Yixiao took out his mobile phone and called up a more accurate stopwatch. He saw that there were ten seconds left before four o'clock and started counting down: "Countdown to Wang Cheng's appearance, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... "

Wen Yixiao and Song Xue all laughed strangely because of their gossip teammates. The trainees from the two surrounding teams also laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little relaxed.

However, when the countdown reaches 4.

A figure appeared at the entrance over there.

The pace is still so slow and leisurely, as if walking faster will make you exhausted.

Holding a book in his hand, a thermos cup, and a mask hanging around his neck!

All eyes looked at Wang Cheng who walked in.

Huang Bin and Mo Bailin waved to Wang Cheng, motioning him to come over and sit down.

Liu Jinfeng's eyes were staring at Wang Cheng. He did not expect that Wang Cheng would bring such a big blame on him. If his eyes could hurt, he would have cut Wang Cheng into pieces with a thousand knives.

Wang Cheng ignored Liu Jinfeng's eyes and the strange looks from others. He went to his seat and sat down, put down the thermos cup, picked up the book and started reading.

The gossip teammate behind Wen Yixiao had just finished counting and complained: "1! Wow, he just sat down. I suspect that he is really a robot. There is a controller in his body that is consistent with time. When the time is up, the controller will He will be asked to do what he needs to do and when to do it, which is all set in advance by the program."

The surrounding trainee team couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Then they thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it really looked like this.

From what they had learned about Wang Cheng this week, punctuality was the only advantage they could say. Although it was not a big advantage, it was indeed punctual, and there were no other advantages.

Handsome, does it count?

As soon as Wang Cheng arrived, it was like a switch was turned on.

The stage quickly became busy.

Several judges appeared on the stage, and makeup artists were busy around each judge, helping them do the final touch-ups in preparation for the upcoming live broadcast.

These four judges are the three most popular ones selected by the audience from five talent show variety shows, as well as one official designated by the program team.

so……

Above are An Keru, who is familiar to Wang Cheng, and Han Xiao. They are judges voted by the audience of Eastern Star and Spring and Summer With You Stage. After all, the ratings of these two programs have created miracles, and the audience base is huge. In addition, An Keru himself is a super A-list celebrity with nearly 40 million fans, so it is not surprising that he became the judge with the highest votes.

Han Xiao was also in the midst of a surge in popularity at this time. The number of fans at this time had also increased to more than 17 million. After a period of silence after her debut, she seemed to suddenly become popular. She did not expect that she would be chosen by the audience. She was a contestant here two years ago and came back two years later to become a judge.

The remaining two judges, one is Feng Tang, the most popular judge from Happy Girls Stage. He is a truly powerful male singer with good dancing ability. He debuted in the past ten years and is thirty years old. Years old, with more than 25 million fans, he has released more than 50 songs, including four works with monthly sales of over 30 million, and five works that have won the Penguin Monthly Chart. It is the work with the highest total sales. It has accumulated sales of more than 70 million and is one of the new generation singers in the Chinese pop music scene.

Although, if Feng Tang's performance was compared to 20 years ago, he would have been an ordinary and powerful singer, far behind the all-powerful kings and queens at that time.

However, he is truly one of the faces of the current Chinese pop music scene.

It can be seen that the Chinese pop music scene is indeed withering.

The last judge, Xu Chaohua, is not a person from the entertainment industry. He is a judge from the Happy Boys Stage in Chengdu. He is a professor at the Western Sichuan Conservatory of Music. He is also the only judge who is not voted by the audience, but is a professional judge officially designated by the program team.

Xu Chaohua is fifty years old. When he was young, he graduated from the Yangtze Music Conservatory of Music, the first conservatory in China, with a doctorate in folk music. After graduation, he went abroad to study in several of the world's top music conservatories in North America for two years, and then returned to his hometown in Western Sichuan and accepted the music of Western Sichuan. Invited by the college, he serves as a professor in the folk music department. Now he also serves as the director of the folk music department and the vice president of the school. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most authoritative people in the field of domestic folk music.

Naturally, the program team cannot eliminate such professionals because of voting. Instead, they solemnly send out official invitations to serve as professional judges, which can enhance the quality and professionalism of the entire program.

Although Xu Chaohua only has tens of thousands of Weibo fans, most of whom are students he has taught.

However, when he stands on the stage, he is the biggest star. Whether it is An Keru, who has the most fans, Feng Tang, one of the biggest names in the Chinese music scene, or the youngest Han Xiao, they all treat Xu Chaohua with respect. of.

The makeup artist wanted to put some makeup on Xu Chaohua's face, but he shook his head and refused: "I'm an old man, what kind of makeup should I put on..."

Liu Jiahui personally came on stage and chatted with several judges.

"Mr. Liu, this is the first time I've seen the live show at 5pm. How are you preparing for it?"

Xu Chaohua asked.

Externally, Liu Jiahui was of course full of confidence and said with certainty: "Professor Xu, don't worry, the program team is ready."

Xu Chaohua nodded: "I won't give in!"

Liu Jiahui smiled and said: "I know, that is one of your principles. If the players do not perform well, you should point it out directly. This is why we invite you. You are welcome and urge them to improve. For them It’s a great thing.”

An Keru smiled and said: "With Professor Xu in charge, professionally, we don't need to say anything."

Xu Chaohua looked at An Keru and shook his head: "That's not true. I can say a few words about music, but in terms of dance, I am not as professional as Keru."

An Keru shook his head: "After so many years, I have almost forgotten what major I have."

Feng Tang interrupted and said with a smile: "Ke Ru is joking, the two-person ballroom dance you danced with Wang Cheng on the Oriental Star stage last time is still the most popular dance video this year, with over 2 billion views. . How many people want to learn, but they can’t learn to your level. When it comes to dancing, you are definitely a professional.”

Double ballroom dance with Wang Cheng?

An Keru glanced at the contestants' bench without trace, trying to find Wang Cheng, but there were too many people and she didn't see it. She knew that in the video of the double ballroom dance, she performed at a superb level. Under the guidance of Wang Cheng, she performed in a better state than when she was at her peak dancing state when she was in school.

If she were to dance now, she would definitely not have that kind of strength and level.

Of course, if she dances with Wang Cheng again, she will have some confidence.

Because it was Wang Cheng who was really strong, not her.

Han Xiao, who is the youngest and has the fewest fans, is quietly acting as a transparent person next to her. She is not even paying attention to the stage. Instead, she stretches her snow-white slender neck to look for Wang Cheng on the player bench. She looks for him for several seconds. Finally, I found Wang Cheng sitting there reading a book in the far corner.

All the trainees were sitting upright and serious, except Wang Cheng who was sitting there reading a book.

Very easy to find.

Han Xiao hadn't seen Wang Cheng for twenty days. The moment he saw Wang Cheng, his heart was full of surprise and excitement. He almost couldn't help but wave to Wang Cheng and shout. Fortunately, even if he couldn't hold it back, he knew that this was a stage. Up, not suitable...

"Han Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you here. Is your grandpa okay?"

A call came.

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked away from Wang Cheng, only to find that several people on the stage were looking at her. Xu Chaohua was looking at her lovingly as a junior. An Keru, Feng Tang, and Liu Jiahui were all curious. He looked at her and hurriedly agreed: "Hello, Uncle Xu, my grandpa is in good health. He even attended a party held in West Lake last week. Thank you for your concern."

Xu Chaohua nodded: "Oh? The party that Mr. Han attended must be of unusual standards, right? It's a pity that I don't know. If I knew about it in advance, I would definitely go to it."

Han Xiao smiled and said nothing to avoid Xu Chaohua's embarrassment.

Because she knew that it was the highest-level gathering in the domestic calligraphy circle. Only one of the domestic calligraphers was not present. Xu Chaohua was indeed an amateur in the calligraphy circle and was not qualified to receive an invitation, so she had no idea about it. .

Xu Chaohua understood immediately and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Liu, I heard that the rehearsals of the program team the past two days did not go well?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Liu Jiahui's eyes, and then he said: "There are some problems with the equipment. The technicians checked and tested overnight yesterday. There will be no problems with today's stage performance."

Xu Chaohua asked curiously: "Oh, where is Wang Cheng? Recently, he is so popular. Many students in the school are his fans. My ears are getting calloused. I have been curious to meet him. This young trainee..."

Where is Wang Cheng?

An Keru and Feng Tang were both looking curiously in the players' seats.

Han Xiao looked at Wang Cheng at a glance.

Facing Xu Chaohua's question, Liu Jiahui hid his emotions and pointed to Wang Cheng who was reading over there with a smile: "Over there, that person reading is Wang Cheng."

Both An Keru and Feng Tang's eyes lit up. An Keru's eyes flashed with excitement, while Feng Tang was curious. He thought of the various rumors he had heard about Wang Cheng and looked at Wang Cheng and the people around him. As if he was not in the same world, everyone else was seriously waiting for the performance, and he was the only one reading a book.

Feng Tang knew that this trainee must have a lot of character.

Xu Chaohua looked at Wang Cheng and asked curiously: "Is he reading?"

Liu Jiahui nodded: "Well, he likes reading very much. It is said that he usually likes reading and writing."

Xu Chaohua: "I also like writing!"

Liu Jiahui smiled and said: "Then he definitely can't compare with you."

Han Xiao next to him twitched his eyebrows when he heard this and almost couldn't help laughing.

Can't Wang Cheng write better than Xu Chaohua?

Han Xiao just wanted to laugh.

The words Wang Cheng threw into the trash can were no worse than those written by her grandfather, and Xu Chaohua was not even qualified to be her grandfather's student.

However, of course Han Xiao would not laugh here, as that would definitely offend people, let alone tell the truth.

Moreover, she also carefully kept this secret for Wang Cheng. She looked at the people around her with pride, feeling a little proud in her heart.

Only she knew Wang Cheng's secret.

Xu Chaohua looked at the only group of girls among the trainees. The most dazzling one was naturally Wen Yixiao, and said softly: "Zhong Lingyuxiu is worthy of being the most outstanding girl this year. Is this Wen Yixiao?"

Liu Jiahui smiled and said: "Yes, she is Wen Yixiao. She has carefully prepared a wonderful performance this time, which will definitely surprise you!"

Xu Chaohua smiled and said, "Then I'm looking forward to it!"

An Keru, Feng Tang, and Han Xiao also looked at Wen Yixiao, with a hint of appreciation in their eyes.

Because Wen Yixiao's appearance and temperament are truly unique among girls.

Even Han Xiao, who is confident in her appearance, knows that she may be a little worse than Wen Yixiao, but only a little bit...

An Kerubi's Wen Yixiao is also a little worse.

Guo Shouxin came out from the backstage and said, "Okay, if you are ready, you can go back to your seats. The performance will start in ten minutes."

Upon hearing this, several people immediately cooperated and walked to their judges' seats to sit down.

Liu Jiahui walked towards Guo Shouxin: "Old Guo, are there any problems with the equipment?"

Guo Shouxin nodded: "Absolutely no problem!"

Liu Jiahui patted Guo Shouxin on the shoulder: "Relax, if anything happens, we can just handle it together."

Guo Shouxin smiled at his old partner of ten years and nodded: "Well, I know!"

The two of them looked at Wang Cheng, who was still sitting there reading a book not far away, as if he had no idea that he was about to start a live broadcast performance, and made up his mind.

I will never cooperate with this guy again from now on.

If there is a regret medicine, they want to take it immediately, then replace Wang Cheng, and then change the live broadcast time back to 8pm...

…

Ten minutes flew by.

The performance officially begins.

Liu Jinfeng sat on pins and needles at the very edge. He didn't want to sit with Wang Cheng and the others. He never said a word. He was constantly thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. His eyes glanced at the exit from time to time. He really wanted to do it now. He sneaked away, but after hesitating several times, he still didn't leave in the end, not daring to completely offend Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui. Even if they failed completely this time, it was not something he could offend.

Chen Xiaoyong comforted Liu Jinfeng: "Director Liu, actually I have confidence in Wang Cheng and the others. Wang Cheng's performance is absolutely wonderful."

Liu Jinfeng chuckled and still didn't speak, nor did he pay attention to Wang Cheng and Huang Bin. Ma Yunfei, whom he was most optimistic about before, didn't even speak.

Looking at Wang Cheng who was still reading, Liu Jinfeng just wanted to sign a few bad programs and bad advertisements after today, and asked Wang Cheng to quickly give the company some bad money. If someone was willing to pay liquidated damages, he would be willing to reduce the liquidated damages. Half-sold Wang Cheng’s contract!

As long as 100 million, the super A-list celebrity with 40 million fans took the package home...

After today?

Yes, Liu Jinfeng guessed that Wang Cheng would not be able to stay in this program group until tomorrow.

The audience seats at the scene were gradually filled with more than 500 spectators. Many of the support signs with flashing lights were hanging around. Most of them had the names of Wang Cheng, Xiao Chengcheng and so on. , a small number of them contain Wen Yixiao’s name, and others contain the names of Wu Han, Ma Yunfei and others.

And those teams selected through auditions don’t even have a brand.

In addition to the more than 500 viewers, half of them are basically people from the celebrity circle, from major companies who come here to enjoy the camera and gain popularity. Only a small part are people from the entertainment industry outside the celebrity circle, some old-school celebrities, The new generation of celebrities, actors, singers, etc., everyone smiled and waved when they saw the live broadcast camera approaching, but after the camera left, they all regained their composure.

Some of them don't look very good.

Because it was the first time for them to participate in the live broadcast at 5pm, and no one was optimistic about the ratings of this live broadcast. Today would even become one of the stains on their careers.

Wen Yixiao took Song Xue and other teammates backstage to prepare for the first performance.

Seeing from the gap in the stage that the audience was filled with Wang Cheng's name, the Bagua teammates once again complained: "These people are so blind and tasteless that they chase after an idol like Wang Cheng."

Wen Yixiao had no expression on her face and adjusted her status to the upcoming performance.

The others stopped talking and were all ready to go.

Live cameras are already working and the signal has spread across the country.

The host faced the camera and said a few opening remarks, introduced the four judges, and immediately entered the contestants' performance: "We have invited contestants from our first team to appear. Among them is the fairy Wen Yixiao that everyone likes very much. I I also want to watch their performance...especially since the title of their performance today is Xianxia."

In the midst of applause.

A burst of melodious music sounded.

Wen Yixiao and others were dressed in fairy-like ancient costumes, appeared under the lighting effects, and their white clothes were fluttering. The scene immediately set off a climax.

After all, Wen Yixiao and several teammates are very good-looking, and Wen Yixiao is like a fairy, as if she has just descended from the earth, dancing classical dance moves while softly singing this song that was very popular two years ago. The TV series theme song of the moment!

The singing is ethereal and melodious, the breath is steady, and the dancing is like a fairy descending to earth.

The performance is simply stunning.

Those fans who supported Wen Yixiao immediately cheered and applauded, and naturally many people in the entertainment industry joined in and applauded together.

The four judges also clapped their hands gently, and everyone's face was full of appreciation. An Keru and Han Xiao were also a little envious. They also wanted such a temperament and voice!

It's a pity that this is really a gift from God. If God didn't give it to you, you would never have it.

As soon as the song ended, the atmosphere at the scene was ignited!

Everyone in the audience stood up and gave warm applause. Whether it was the audience, celebrities in many circles, or many trainees, they all stood up and gave Wen Yixiao and others applause.

Only Wang Cheng in the corner was still sitting there, as if he was separated from the warm applause around him. He just raised his eyes and glanced at Wen Yixiao who was standing under the spotlight on the stage. There was a slight flash of appreciation in his eyes, and then he continued to lower his head. The book is in hand.

Huang Bin, Mo Bailin, Chen Xiaoyong, and Liu Jinfeng couldn't help but complain in their hearts when they saw Wang Cheng like this - are you a man?

On the stage, the four judges also stood up and applauded Wen Yixiao.

Backstage, Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui were slightly relieved when they saw such a lively atmosphere.

Liu Jiahui said: "Wen Yixiao is still trustworthy. She is very capable. The key is that she is obedient, hard-working and motivated. With this stage effect, the ratings should not be different."

Guo Shouxin smiled and nodded: "I hope so!"

The two stared at the stage while waiting for the staff to report real-time data.

The live broadcast at 5 pm is the first time in the industry. The two of them want to know how many ratings they can get now. They have an idea and can consider their options.

The applause at the scene ended, and Wen Yixiao and others stood in front of the four judges.

Xu Chaohua was the first to speak: "A very wonderful performance, you are like a blessing from God. Wen Yixiao, you are really wasting your talent if you don't learn folk dance."

Wen Yixiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor Xu. That's a huge compliment."

Xu Chaohua paused and continued: "However, you can come to our music school. Your voice is also blessed by God. It's a pity that it was developed a little late, but it's not too late. You already have your own voice." It’s a unique feature. If you come to our college for further studies, study vocal music well, and practice your voice, I believe you will go further and stand higher in the future.”

There was applause at the scene, and many Wen Yixiao fans cheered loudly.

Wen Yixiao still smiled: "Thank you, Professor Xu."

Xu Chaohua didn't talk too much, and finally said: "Whether you are dancing or singing, it can be said that you have reached my highest expectations. I give you ninety-five points, come on!"

Hearing the score of ninety-five points, the other three judges next to him all flashed a hint of surprise, and Ma Yunfei off the stage even opened his mouth slightly.

Because they knew that Xu Chaohua had never given a score above 85 points on the Chengdu stage before. Very few people could get his approval and his requirements were extremely strict.

Ninety-five points was the first time he gave it, which shows how optimistic and recognized he is for Wen Yixiao.

Wen Yixiao and others bowed slightly to thank Xu Chaohua.

Afterwards, An Keru said: "You are worthy of being called Wen Yixian by many people. It is so beautiful. I will give you ninety-five points. Come on!"

An Keru didn't say much. After giving the score, he gave the speaking time to the next Feng Tang.

Because she had seen Wang Cheng's stage performances and intuitively felt that Wen Yixiao's stage charm was weaker than Wang Cheng's.

She even couldn't hold back and danced with Wang Cheng for a while, and she still hasn't completely forgotten Wang Cheng.

She has experienced it personally and can naturally feel it more truly and intuitively.

Wen Yixiao and others all smiled and thanked An Keru!

Feng Tang came from Happy Girls and has known Wen Yixiao for a long time. He said with a little excitement: "Wen Yixiao, you can surprise me every time. This time it is better than last time on the Happy Girls stage. Great improvement, especially Wen Yixiao, your singing skills are basically almost the same as mine, I feel very ashamed."

Wen Yixiao smiled and said: "Teacher Feng is joking, you and I are still far behind."

Feng Tang shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, the future of the Chinese music scene may depend on you. Come on, I'll give you 99 points!"

Feng Tang directly gave a super high score, which caused cheers from the audience.

At the end, Han Xiao looked at Wen Yixiao and didn't want to give high marks because she firmly believed that Wang Cheng's performance was definitely more exciting. However, this was a live broadcast and she was the youngest and couldn't do whatever she wanted, so she said: " I also give 95 points, come on!"

Wen Yixiao and Song Xue bowed again to the four judges: "Thank you, thank you..."

The host shouted: "Congratulations to our first team, Wen Yixiao, for scoring a high score of 96 points and getting off to a good start. I was almost entranced watching them. They deserve high scores! Come on... …”

Wen Yixiao and others stayed on the stage for a while, then left the stage and walked off the stage. They passed by Wang Cheng and others and found that Wang Cheng was still reading. Their excitement suddenly faded a lot. This guy didn't even watch their show...

The second person to appear was Wu Han.

The performance was a notch better than it was at Oriental Star. An Keru gave it 90 points, expressing her recognition of Wu Han's team.

However, Xu Chaohua directly gave him eighty points and said directly: "The dancing is okay, but my singing skills are very average. Eighty points to encourage you!"

Wu Han felt bitter in his heart, feeling like he had been beaten by Xu Chaohua, but he could only thank him.

Feng Tang and Han Xiao also only gave a score of 88, and the final score was nearly ten points lower than Wen Yixiao.

The third person to appear is Ma Yunfei!

Liu Jinfeng in the audience suddenly became interested and applauded Ma Yunfei vigorously. This was a trainee whom he had strongly promoted. Now he is on the stage of Tomorrow's Idol, and Liu Jinfeng and the company have not been disappointed.

However, Ma Yunfei's performance level was a little worse than Wu Han, and two levels worse than Wen Yixiao. The audience and judges who first watched Wen Yixiao's performance were a little disappointed. The applause was not that much, and the four judges gave His score was not high either, and his final score was only 80, which was lower than Wu Han.

The subsequent players who appeared one after another highlighted the brilliance and strength of Wen Yixiao, who was the first to appear. Although their performance was good, it was definitely above the average level of traffic trainees. They could not make mistakes on the live broadcast stage and could still maintain their performance. A state-of-the-art performance is rare for newcomers, but Wen Yixiao, who appeared for the first time, was so amazing, and Wu Han, who appeared the second time, was also relatively strong, which gave a bad start to the people behind.

The scores are not high, between seventy and eighty.

There was only a group of contestants selected from the sea, and under the leadership of the captain named Du Wei, the performance dazzled everyone.

Du Wei showed singing skills and singing talent that are almost as good as Wen Yixiao, and his dancing ability is also very strong. The choreography also incorporates many of Wang Cheng's movements and styles. The stage effect is still better than that of Wu Han, and he finally scored 90 points. , higher than Wu Han and second only to Wen Yixiao.

Xu Chaohua praised: "This stage is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Du Wei, your singing talent is very strong, develop it well and don't waste it."

Du Wei is a 22-year-old trainee who comes from a small company. He participated in the audition and was selected from dozens or hundreds of teams. Among the ten teams at the scene, he was signed by the smallest and most unknown company.

Many people at the scene gave Du Wei the warmest applause.

But……

Backstage.

Both Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui looked ugly at this time.

Because, the real-time data table of consecutive three-pointers made them speechless.

The ratings of the first broadcast were 1.2, which was lower than their lower limit of expectations...

Yes, if it starts airing at 5pm, the audience will be small, so the ratings will definitely not be high.

However, their expectation is also to have an opening rating of above 1.4. Their previous lowest opening rating was 1.7, and it will soon pass 2 o'clock!

This time, the broadcast dropped directly to 1.2, which made the two people and other insiders of the program team a little confused. They had no confidence that they could reach 2 points.

certainly……

They also know that a rating of 1.2 during this time period is already considered good.

But!

They are the idols of tomorrow, with an audience base and reputation accumulated over the years.

They also spent a lot of publicity resources this week.

Fortunately.

Wen Yixiao's performance was outstanding. She single-handedly increased the initial ratings from 1.2 to 1.6, and alone increased the ratings by 0.4 points.

This gave hope to Guo Shouxin, Liu Jiahui and others.

However, the next performance of the other contestants was a series of heavy punches, beating them into confusion again!

Two consecutive data reports shocked the two of them into silence for more than half an hour.

The ratings only stabilized for a while from 1.6 when Wen Yixiao performed. They began to decline when Wu Han performed, and they have been declining slowly. No one can stabilize the ratings after that...

It dropped to the end of Du Wei's performance just now, and returned to the 1.2 when it started!

Groups of contestants came on stage to perform, but the ratings turned around and returned to the starting point of the opening.

And they still had nothing to say.

Because groups of contestants performed to their best on stage, and no one made any mistakes during the live broadcast, which is very rare. The performance level and stage effect definitely exceeded the other three streams this year with a ratings of over 3 variety show.

However, the ratings just can’t go up!

They knew it was because of the time period.

There really weren’t that many viewers during the live broadcast between 5 and 6 pm.

Guo Shouxin said with a slightly hoarse voice: "What do the company and the station say?"

Liu Jiahui looked at the dozen missed calls on his phone, shook his head with difficulty and said, "I don't know, I didn't answer their call. I'll call them after it's over!"

Guo Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down all his burdens: "Well, it will be over soon!"

Liu Jiahui also nodded slightly.

The ratings are what they are now and they just have to accept it now.

The last group of players.

It was Wang Cheng.

After Du Wei's performance ended, other contestants were surprised by Du Wei, who was usually very low-key. They didn't expect to be so strong.

but.

At this time, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the last group to appear.

Wang Cheng!

Finally coming out.

Under the watchful eyes of all the trainees and nearby artists, Wang Cheng put down his book and slowly picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of water. Then he slowly stood up. His lazy and leisurely temperament disappeared in an instant, leaving only What comes down is only strong self-confidence and vigor!

Everyone around who was looking at Wang Cheng fell silent instantly.

Looking at Wang Cheng who stood up and seemed to be a different person, everyone was so shocked by the sudden change in temperament that they dared not speak for a while. They could only watch with wide eyes as Wang Cheng led Huang Bin and others to the backstage passage.

It wasn't until they disappeared that many trainees heaved a sigh of relief.

The gossip teammate next to Wen Yixiao opened his eyes wide and said: "Wow, did you just see that? The moment he stood up, Wang Cheng seemed to have changed. He glanced at us, and I was too scared to speak. When he usually appears, he is just reading a book, as if he is a transparent person who does not exist. Now he is going to perform. The change is so big, as if he suddenly became the final boss in the game..."

Wen Yixiao stared at the passage where Wang Cheng disappeared and said softly: "This is him who wants to perform. I really don't know how he did it."

Song Xue also whispered: "Yes, he has changed so much all of a sudden. He seems to be two different people during normal times and during performances."

Wen Yixiao and Song Xue looked at each other, both looking forward to Wang Cheng's final performance.

…

After performing for so long, many audience members were tired, so when they saw that Wang Cheng was about to appear, many of the audience members holding signs supporting Wang Cheng were too lazy to shout or move, and only sparse applause could be heard.

Other celebrities and artists in the industry were also chatting with each other in low voices to kill boring things. They were just waiting for the show to end before leaving, discussing where to go to eat next, or where to go to make announcements, etc.

And this time.

The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.

Then, a second later, the lights came back on.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was a malfunction in the lighting equipment, and then heard a banging sound...

White smoke suddenly appeared on the stage, like bombs exploding one after another, and every ray of disgust shot directly into the sky like a pillar.

all of a sudden.

Everyone is interested. This is not a lighting failure, but a stage performance effect?

The next second, the stage lights dimmed again.

Many audience members stood up and stretched their heads to look at the stage, trying to see what was going on.

Wu Han, Ma Yunfei and others, Du Wei and others, as well as Wen Yixiao and Song Xue, all stared at the stage with their eyes wide open and their necks stretched out, curious about what would happen next.

The four judges on the stage, An Keru, Xu Chaohua, Feng Tang, and Han Xiao, were the closest and they all stared at the stage, trying to see clearly, but the smoke was too thick and they could not see clearly at all.

Han Xiao could hear her heart beating so hard that she almost couldn't help but want to rush up and give Wang Cheng a hug...

Is this Wang Cheng's performance?

Everyone's heart is full of doubts and expectations.

It seems very mysterious!

This is quite consistent with the title of Ninja.

However, there was no time for them to think.

One second later.

The lights on the stage came on again.

The smoke hadn't dissipated yet, and several figures were moving through the smoke.

Then, a burst of mysterious music sounded, obviously with an island style, and a mysterious and tense atmosphere was instantly created.

Everyone's heart was tense, as if they were watching a fast-paced suspense action movie, not knowing what would happen next!

At this time, the stage lights flashed even faster, flashing several times a second.

Every time it flickers, several figures on the stage change positions, so when everyone can see it, they will find that the position of each figure on the stage is changing rapidly, as if they are undergoing fierce changes and battles.

Then……

The lights flickered again, then brighter when they came back on.

A red figure rushed out from the middle of the smoke. He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a red ninja suit, with his head covered. The metal mask on his face covered his face, leaving only a mouth exposed, with a wheat hanging from his mouth.

Several other black figures also rushed out of the smoke. Everyone was wearing black ninja uniforms, with a katana hanging on their waists. Their heads were also wrapped, with black scarves on their faces, with only a pair of eyes exposed. , stood there quietly and solemnly.

Under the mysterious fast-paced music, a chilling and intense atmosphere arose spontaneously.

Everyone in the audience forgot about their boredom and exhaustion just now. They all sat upright and looked at the people on the stage, especially the red figure in the middle, which seemed to have a magnetic force that attracted everyone's attention.

Just the beginning!

The stage effect is nothing short of explosive.

Everyone felt as if their heartbeats had accelerated.

Wen Yixiao's eyes widened when she heard Song Xue whisper in her ear: "So handsome!"

This time.

Wen Yixiao also wanted to say: "So handsome!"

Guo Shouxin and Liu Jiahui, who had left the backstage and came to the auditorium to wait for the show to end, looked dumbfounded at the effect and charm of the stage.

What's this?

When Huang Bin and others performed yesterday, what was it?

Are you sure it's not funny?

Are you sure it's the same show?

But.

No one can answer the questions in their hearts.

because!

Ninjas wait for no one.

Music waits for no one!

The fast-paced mysterious music continues to play.

Wang Cheng took one step forward and came to the front of the stage, singing his own song for the first time!
