Chapter 78 Second Recording
There are still 30 contestants left, and the rehearsal time on Friday is still very tight. Every contestant knows that many people will be eliminated in the second recording, maybe 10 people, maybe 20 people. After two rounds of screening, the most capable people will be left, and the elimination will slow down, and the real competition will begin.
On Saturday, as soon as he opened his eyes, Li Yi said to the side: "I have always felt that I am standing on the edge of a cliff these days, and I actually dreamed of falling off a cliff. Do you think this dream is a bad omen on the day of the competition?"
No one responded to him.
Li Yi turned his head and looked at the quilts on the bed next to him, and then he remembered that Xu Rui got up early for morning exercises. The words just now were purely in vain, just talking to himself.
A little confused in sleep, Li Yi patted his cheek to make himself more awake, and glanced at the empty bed next to him. During this time together, he really envied Xu Rui's mentality, confident, calm, and no slack than others.
Although some contestants think that Xu Rui is different from "Falling in Love at First Sight" and not so enthusiastic, as a roommate, he knows that Xu Rui is easy to get along with.
Just a little thought will make it clear that in the program "Falling in Love at First Sight", there are only five roommates to face, and after one round of elimination, there are still 30 people left, and they are all preparing for the stage competition. How can they get along well with each other?
Gradually, Li Yi was also affected. If they get along well, they will act together. If they feel they don't get along well, they will stay away from them. They no longer deliberately create a brotherhood of unity and friendship in front of the camera.
After a recording, the contestants are familiar with the process. After eating and putting on makeup, they will practice for a while when they have time.
In the waiting room, Li Yi sat next to Xu Rui and asked: "Tell me the truth, in the past two weeks, my sleep at night has not affected you, right?"
"No." Xu Rui didn't know why he brought it up again.
"Didn't you really hear me grinding my teeth?"
Xu Rui glanced at him: "You're not my girlfriend, who would pay attention to you."
"That's right." Li Yi smiled, "I feel like you're a good person, but it's a pity that we've been together for so short a time."
"Why are you so sentimental?" Xu Rui joked, "If the time wasn't short, you would still want to pursue me. I'll declare in advance that I'm straight and have a girlfriend!"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Nonsense, I'm straight too, don't say anything that will cause misunderstandings, and if you spread gossip, I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River... Alas, you're on the verge of elimination, I'm a little reluctant."
Xu Rui patted his shoulder: "It's not over yet, I think the song you're going to sing on stage today is very good, don't be discouraged."
"Well, give it a try." Li Yi encouraged himself.
...
The audience changed, and the five mentors came out and took their seats.
The promotion rules for this episode changed. The top 15 of the 30 contestants were promoted according to the number of votes. The mentors' votes were first considered, and the audience votes were compared if the votes were the same.
Although many contestants had prepared themselves mentally, they were under increasing pressure when they heard that half of them would be eliminated, and they could no longer smile.
On the big screen on the stage, the voting rate of the five mentors in the previous issue was displayed. "Views on the entertainment industry" was far ahead with a voting rate of 60.6%.
Wei Yumeng praised: "Brother Maojie is amazing. He accurately grasped the psychology of the audience."
"No, I really didn't think so much." Bai Maojie explained hurriedly, "I am really curious about what this generation of young people thinks of the entertainment industry and why they chose this career path."
Jiang Hantao smiled and said: "Indeed, the new generation, or the singers of the new generation, are like the waves rushing behind us. It makes people wonder how much power they have in their hearts and whether they can really hit us hard on the beach."
"Then let's stop talking and start." Tang Yi reminded.
The order of appearance in the second issue was called by the mentors. Waiting was sometimes a torment. Li Yi hoped that he would be on stage as soon as possible, so that he could watch and wait for the results after singing.
"Choose me, choose me..." Li Yi muttered softly.
"Don't choose me, don't choose me..." Sun Xueting was also mumbling in front.
Soon, the mentors made a decision: "Choose Sun Xueting!"
"Ah!" The two wailed at the same time.
Sun Xueting stood up reluctantly, turned back and glared at Li Yi, and then walked to the stage.
"Why are you glaring at me? I want to change with her." Li Yi complained to Xu Rui.
Xu Rui smiled and said, "What is this called? This is called asking for something but not getting it. It is also a normal state of life."
Li Yi thought about it and agreed: "It is quite metaphysical."
While speaking, Sun Xueting had already come on stage, and the soothing prelude sounded. Her voice was the same as before, and she caught people's attention as soon as she opened her mouth.
The lyrics of her song are very simple. The general idea is that the singing stage is a golden dream of her childhood, and the entertainment industry is a road to pursue her dreams. No matter whether this road is a smooth road with flowers and brocade, or a bumpy road with thorns, she will not stop and give up.
Xu Rui thought this approach was very impressive and it fits Sun Xueting's mind very well. She couldn't write anything more profound.
He was a little bit dissatisfied in his heart. As he thought, the instructors' comments were similar to his, but of course they were more subtle.
Tang Bie commented seriously: "I like your song very much. You are weak in creation. Before you have a certain amount of accumulation, the more you want to write complex and profound, the more you will expose your lack of professionalism. It is a good way to write simply, use sound to describe a story, and seek resonance from the audience."
"Thank you, teacher." Sun Xueting's hand holding the microphone was shaking a little, and she was super nervous.
After Tang Biao gave his "approval", other mentors also commented on the results one by one. In the end, Sun Xueting got 4 mentor votes and 80 audience votes, which made her trot into the waiting room on the other side excitedly, and she wanted to shout a few times.
"With such a high number of votes, she must have advanced." Li Yi sighed.
Xu Rui shook his head: "It's hard to say, I have to go up a few more times to see the mentor's judgment today."
"That's right."
Li Yi stopped praying because he didn't get selected in the first few. He seemed to be affected by Xu Rui's calm aura. He was not so anxious. The two chatted quietly from time to time.
After several people sang, it was confirmed that the mentor's standards were similar to the last recording, especially Bai Maojie, who was as strict as ever.
"Who do you think will go up first?"
As soon as Li Yi asked, the mentors called out Xu Rui's name.
"Me." Xu Rui smiled, stood up, patted his shoulder, and walked to the door.
Opening the door, walking through the passage to the center of the stage, the attention of the crowd did not make him uncomfortable, but enjoyed it.
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to your performance today." Jiang Hantao said without hiding anything.
"Thank you."
"Please introduce the name of the song you are going to sing today."
Xu Rui nodded and raised the microphone: "The song I am singing today is called "Young Bird Guide"."
