Chapter 9: Group Showdown (1)
The second time I met Susan was at the same cafΓ©.
Lu Xiu saw that the last set didn't disgust the girl, so he simply didn't pretend, and decided to make it clear this time.
This time, he sat by the window and waited for Susan.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, he saw that the theme song video of "National Idol" was playing on the huge projection advertisement outside, and a large close-up of Xu Chunqiu's face appeared on the screen, and the pearlescent eyeshadow flashed under her eyelashes under the illumination of the stage lights, as if a handful of stars were about to fall in the blink of an eye. Her clear eyes looked firmly at the camera, as if she had suddenly seen into the audience's heart through the screen.
Who can't be impressed.
Lu Xiu couldn't connect her with the soaking wet and embarrassed girl he rescued at the drinking party for a while.
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting. β
Susan put down the neat ponytail that was tied up, replaced the pointed heels with a round toe, and sprayed a strong fragrance on the side of the neck and wrist, which was Guerlain's little black dress.
"Hello Miss Su," Lu Xiu got up and pulled out a chair for her.
Susan noticed that the greasy smell of Chanel's azure was gone, only a refreshing citrus scent of aftershave.
After sitting down again, Susan found that Lu Xiu's gaze was always scanning out of the window, she looked out and saw Xu Chunqiu's bright face.
Susan retracted her gaze and asked as if unintentionally, "What Mr. Lu said last time, was it intentional?"
They are all people who understand, and Lu Xiu didn't pretend to be stupid with her, so he poked Dang's jaw, "I'm sorry." β
"I don't mind that," said Susan, pulling two tickets from her handbag and slapping them on the table, before continuing, "because I'm interested in you, I'm willing to keep in touch with you, whether you're sincere or not." β
Do what they like, and you have to control their lives.
Susan pushed the two tickets to him, and Lu Xiu looked down and found that they were the performance tickets for the first round of the competition of "National Idol", two consecutive number SVIP seats.
"My family and I would be the most suitable marriage partner for you. β
Lu Xiu smiled, quietly pushed the two tickets back, and then opened his mouth calmly, "I'm sorry Miss Su, I don't have the need to sell my marriage for the time being." β
"So Mr. Lu is true love supremacy?" Susan bit the word "true love" as if she had heard something rare.
Lu Xiuwan, "Of course, you can think so. β
"Is Mr. Lu going to reject me?"
"I'm sorry," Lu Xiu beckoned to check out, "I'll send you back." β
"No, I have my own car. β
Susan shook her hair, and the banker's daughter could afford to put it down, and despite the rejection, there was no disappointment on her face, as if she had just lost a competing item at the auction.
She simply tore up the ticket that was originally reserved for herself, and then pushed the only remaining SVIP ticket to Lu Xiu again, "The ticket for this position is quite difficult to buy, so it should be regarded as a return gift for you, let's get together and disperse." β
She turned around with her bag and walked in chic with her high heels, as if she was still the rich daughter who teased her little sister with a "big pig's trotters".
Lu Xiu pinched the ticket and looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and still put it in the inner pocket of the suit.
Seat 1 in a row is really not easy to buy.
......
The program on the side of "National Idol" waited for no one, and all the trainees were gathered in the lecture hall that afternoon and sat according to their ranks, and the questions of the first round of competition for the trainees appeared on the huge screen-
Group showdown.
Bai Yang, the representative of the national producer, stood on the platform with a hand card in his hand, briefly greeted the trainees, and began to explain the process.
One hundred trainees will be divided into 12 groups for pairs and pairs, and all members of the winning group will be rewarded with an additional 50,000 votes.
"Now release six evaluation tracksβ"
With the impactful sound effects and the title of the song being played on the screen, Bai Yang explained: "The alternative tracks are divided into six genres, which are KPOP, lyrical, dance, rock, rap and Chinese style. β
Before the words fell, the trainees had already started a gossip-talking discussion-
"Girls' Generation's "The World Reunion Again"?
"Zhang Shaohan's "Aurora", I can choose this song, I can do it again!"
"The lyricism is actually "Big Fish", absolutely amazing!"
"It's all a familiar tune!"
"It's not all, right, I haven't heard of the Chinese-style song "Chiling", is it an Internet song?"
β......β
But Xu Chunqiu has never heard any of these songs.
"The six trainees who have obtained the A grade in the re-evaluation of the grade, please take a step forward, you will be the C position of the group, and you will have the right to choose songs first. β
Seeing that several trainees in the same column as her had already made a decisive choice without thinking about it, as if they were familiar, Xu Chunqiu could only choose blindly without any concept.
"Xu Chunqiu trainee, please make your choice. β
Probably because he was a singer in his previous life, Xu Chunqiu stopped when he saw the word "Ling".
That's it.
"I chose 'Red Ling'. β
After the A-level took the lead in choosing the song, Xu Chunqiu immediately heard that B-level Lin Qianqian chose the same song as her, but it was not the same group, but another group against her.
Except for Lin Qianqian, most of the trainees who chose this song were downcast, basically they were of low level, and in the end, they were forced to belong to this group because they had no choice.
Lin Qianqian, who was in the group next to her, talked boastfully and her team members, and in just a few words, Xu Chunqiu learned that this song was not only relatively niche, but also that the chorus passages were all dramatic, with a wide vocal range and difficult to transcrib, making it quite difficult to sing.
Xu Chunqiu knew that he had chosen the right one.
"The evaluation of the competition will be made entirely by the national producers, and this is your first stage with an audience. β
Bai Yang held the microphone and said, and when the trainees heard it, a few people were happy and some were sad.
The audience's on-site evaluation means that there is no chance of mistakes, but it is also an excellent opportunity to circle fans.
Many of the trainees present had practiced overseas, and they couldn't help but get excited when they heard the news. And the trainees who were not strong couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed. It's over, and the strength and experience are a big cut from others. Where is this on the stage, this is simply a gallows!
"After the first round of competition, there will be the first ranking announcement, and there will only be 50 places to advance, and only half of the trainees will survive. β
In the disbelief voices of the trainees, Bai Yang said.
"Good luck to you. β
