Chapter 67: Reluctant Social Session
"Really? Then I should take better care of you." Yan Ran replied happily.
Du Xiao came over: "You have to be careful."
"Why?" Yan Ran was a little confused.
Du Xiao lowered her voice and created a sense of impending crisis: "I guess this election officer is a beautiful girl."
Yan Ran didn't care: "What are you guessing? Even if she is, she is our CP fan."
"When you can't see or touch it, you are a CP fan, but when the opportunity to replace it is in front of you..." Du Xiao tried to instill a sense of crisis in Yan Ran, but before she finished speaking, Yan Ran had put down her lunch box and grabbed the chopsticks in her hand and lifted them up, "Come, I'll feed you, don't talk if you can't speak."
"No, no, no... ah, I'm going to spill it, the chopsticks are almost in my nose!" Du Xiao wailed.
Everyone in the crew hid nearby and peeked in, their eyes were all surprised. Du Xiao, who was usually strong and heroic, was suppressed like this?
The director is worthy of being a director. He usually seems to have no temper, but it turns out he is hiding it!
"Do I still need care?" In the cafeteria, Xu Rui sent a message and saw that Yan Ran hadn't replied for a long time. He thought she had finished eating and started working, so he stopped sending messages. He stood up and cleaned up the dishes and asked Zhao Yan, "From now on, can I move freely? I just need to wait for your notification if there are any arrangements?"
"Yes." Zhao Yan nodded. After exposing her fan attributes, she spoke less seriously and more lively. "Don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on it and won't let you miss anything."
"Thank you very much. I'll go upstairs first." Xu Rui said goodbye to her and went upstairs to his room. He happened to meet a young man who was about to enter the room with luggage and a guitar case on his back. The dormitory was a double room, so the person in front of him must be his roommate.
"Hello, I'm Xu Rui, what's your name?" Xu Rui took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Li Yi." The other party shook hands with him and looked into the room. "You are also in this room, so we are roommates?"
"Yeah." Xu Rui nodded, but found that the other party suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Li Yi said sincerely: "I don't have a good sleeping habit at night, and I may grind my teeth. If you mind, I will talk to the program team and ask them to change my room."
"It's okay, as long as you don't climb on my bed, it's not a big problem." Xu Rui smiled. He is a heavy sleeper and usually won't be woken up.
"You are so humorous." Seeing that he agreed, Li Yi dragged his luggage in. After putting away the guitar, he actually took out the three-piece suitcase he brought with him from the suitcase, took off the bed sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases in the dormitory, and carefully changed them into his own. Then he took out alcohol wipes and wiped his hands. Only then did he show a satisfied expression, looking a little bit of mysophobia.
Fortunately, Li Yi was just a little bit of mysophobia himself, and he didn't ask others to have the same habit as him. After sitting down, he humbly asked Xu Rui for advice: "What should we do next?"
"The Election Commission will come to you later, and then..." Before Xu Rui finished speaking, Zhao Yan ran over.
After introducing herself to Li Yi, she repeated what she had said to Xu Rui before, and took him to Zheng Hongyang to hand in the demo, and familiarized herself with the environment.
After they left, Xu Rui sat on the bed and opened his phone just in time to see the silhouette of the third mentor announced by the official Weibo of "Original New Generation".
Jiang Hantao, when he was young, he formed a band and was the lead singer of the band. Unfortunately, he did not make a name for himself at that time, so the band naturally disbanded, and the members went their separate ways. He lay dormant for a while and devoted himself to creation. Later, he became famous because of a very inspirational rock song.
However, he did not have the idea of reorganizing the band, and he was much more low-key than when he was young. He made music seriously and worked hard until now. Although it is difficult to impact the first-tier singers, his popularity is still quite stable among the second-tier singers.
Below the Weibo, netizens are also discussing it.
"The mentors that Kumiow invited this time are really good. They are all popular and have certain originality."
"The music types are also diverse, Wu Zhou's rap, Wei Yumeng's love songs, and Jiang Hantao's rock. I wonder who the last two mentors will be."
"The popularity of the last two will definitely be higher."
"I have read a lot of revelations, and I think the most accurate ones are Tang Bie and Bai Maojie."
Xu Rui was not surprised to see that someone's gossip was quite accurate. After all, it was not a state secret. There were too many channels for leaking information, and it might even be the program team's rumor.
He was eating gossip happily, and the voices in the corridor gradually increased. Players from all over the country arrived one after another.
Xu Rui didn't dislike socializing, but he didn't like socializing with so many people at a time. Just remembering the names would make his head numb.
"It's all about human relationships." Xu Rui stood up reluctantly, put his phone in his pocket, and as soon as he walked to the door, a flawless and enthusiastic smile immediately appeared on his face.
Those who just came were busy communicating with the selection management, submitting demos of their first songs, and getting familiar with the environment. In addition, the dormitories of the female contestants were upstairs, so it was difficult to get to know them all. Xu Rui greeted the contestants in the adjacent dormitories and went back to the dormitory to lie down.
Not long after, Li Yi came in. Xu Rui found that he had been gone for a long time and was quite excited at the moment. As soon as he came in, he shared with him: "Two people downstairs quarreled."
"What happened?" Xu Rui was very interested.
"The two anchors had a quarrel before they were not so popular. It seemed that someone hooked up with whose girlfriend. I didn't expect Ku Miao to invite them all. It's not that enemies meet and are particularly jealous." Li Yi said with a little regret, "It's a pity that they didn't fight."
"..." Xu Rui thought this guy was an honest person, but he didn't expect that he was also a spectator who didn't mind making trouble. "Hey, why did I use 'also'?"
This afternoon, Xu Rui seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered college. He greeted people from time to time, introduced each other, and went to dinner together. The initial friendship was established.
However, compared with college, he could feel the tension and pressure of some people around him. For many people, such an opportunity may only come once. Being eliminated may mean being on the bench, or paying to terminate the contract and staying away from the entertainment industry forever. In such a situation, they still have to maintain a smile and enthusiasm. Xu Rui is tired for them.
In the evening, the contestants chatted, read books, practiced singing, and fell in love. Yes, I am talking about Xu Rui, who was lying on the bed and leisurely video-calling with Yan Ran.
"Don't bother you?" Yan Ran patted her cheek and applied moisturizing cream.
"Of course not."
"Your production team contacted me today."
"Huh?" Xu Rui was puzzled, "Why did they contact you?"
"Ask me if I want to be an audience member when the first episode is recorded." Yan Ran felt a little regretful, "If I could go, I would hide it from you and give you a surprise. Unfortunately, I'm really too busy recently, making final preparations for the start of filming."
"Do you remember what you said when we were eating barbecue?" Xu Rui laughed. He didn't expect the production team to have this idea. They really wanted to take advantage of his "first sight CP" traffic.
"Got it, I will seriously support you in your heart!" Yan Ran, who had just applied moisturizer, had a face like morning dew and a smile like a flower. On the other side of the screen, she held her right hand in the air and waved her arm slightly as if she was holding a fluorescent stick. She was very cute.
