16. Breaking the kettle and sinking the boat
"Penultimate in place?" everyone's hearts were half cold.
"Sister Xinying, do you think you can discuss it with the student union again? How is it that our Chinese Studies Lecture Club is also an old top club in the school, and the New Year's Day party is a rare time in ten or eight years, how can it give us the penultimate one?" Chen Di begged with the mentality that he could still rescue and rescue: "We don't expect to be in any prime time, at least not like now!"
"That's it, the student union is also bullying people! Is it true that the village chief is not a cadre, and that bean bags are not used for dry food?"
"The bullies have bullied everyone to grandma's house, is it tolerable or unbearable?
"Let's go to the student union and ask, if they want to transfer us a better one, let's block the door and make him go!"
The group of girls shouted indignantly.
Wu Zichen sighed on the side and said: "Actually, it's good that we really want to be the second to last at the New Year's Day party, after all, it's the finale, and generally can't hold the scene if we don't have any ability." The point is, I'm afraid we won't even be able to keep this penultimate position!"
Chen Di immediately raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this? You still think we are not miserable enough now, do you?"
Wu Zichen smiled bitterly and said: "Now that I and everyone share weal and woe, weal and woe, how can we have such a strange idea of yours? I mean, we are now so angry that we are now in the penultimate place, and how miserable should the program that ranked first from the bottom should be? If my expectations are correct, the program that ranks first from the bottom should have been regarded as an outcast by the student union, and we are now facing two possibilities: there is no rehearsal and we will be eliminated; and we will be lucky enough to rehearse and become the final send-off play." ”
Although Chen Di had already believed seven or eight points in his heart, he did not admit defeat at all: "Couldn't the show that ranked first from the bottom be able to fight against the tide and survive after death?"
"But it's more likely to be a broken jar!" Wu Zichen immediately retorted, "You might as well use your walnut-sized brain to think about it, since it can be put last by the student union and judged as an outcast, most of the unpleasant forms of performance, such as poetry recitation and costume performance, are themselves on the verge of being able to go up or down." In the past, the primary was wider, and they were let in with a slight release of their fingers, but now the checks are a little stricter, and it is natural that they can be easily kicked out. This kind of program is inherently flawed, how can it be solved by breaking the kettle and fighting against the water?"
There was silence in the Sinology Lecture Club, and everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed against a few bricks, and it felt a little difficult to breathe. This is also understandable, when you are deceived into a bottomless trap by the above-board Yang conspiracy, and face the inevitable defeat of the killing, no one can remain calm and calm.
Wu Zichen watched everyone's faces sink like water, and suddenly laughed softly: "Why should everyone be sad and sad? Although being in the bottom line will make it very unfavorable to us, objectively speaking, it is not all without benefits. At least in my opinion, there are two huge advantages. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Zichen folded his hands and said: "First of all, although we are ranked first from the bottom, in fact, the probability of showing your face and making the audience remember is far greater than that of other programs." Why? Because the current mode of galas and concerts is to pile up the essence in the first half, like a chick pooping -- the front is hard, and in the second half of the festival it will become weak, procrastinated, and boring. Of course, the audience's emotions will also become slack and impetuous with the passage of time, and it will become difficult to calm down and enjoy the show. What would happen if a very eye-catching show suddenly popped up at this time? As if picking a pearl in a pile of pearls is rounder, or finding a pearl in a pile of mud and sand, which experience is more memorable? The answer is obvious!
"Little Apple" is the most popular divine comedy at the moment, popular all over the country, regardless of men, women and children will hum a few words, and it is even more popular on campus. As long as the music of our program sounds, we will ensure that the spirits of the audience on and off the stage will be lifted! Moreover, our Boss Jiang is a famous first-year high school beautiful boy, and he standing on the stage is enough to amaze the audience, and then show off his charming singing voice -- soft girls, you just wait for the harvest to scream!"
Liu Xinying slapped his hands and said: "Yes, Senior Brother Wu is very right, we also have a killer feature! As long as it is gold, it will shine wherever it is placed, even if it is placed in the penultimate place!"
Jiang Shuiyuan also said: "To be honest, I am actually more worried that the students will put our show at the beginning of the party and act as a gong show than being in the bottom of the party. At that time, everyone just sat down, their breath was not even, their hearts were still floating, and they would not be too impressed by our singing and dancing programs, and then various amusing programs such as cross talk and sketches emerged in endlessly, and they would soon forget the good of our program. On the contrary, it is better to be at the bottom of the list, and it can also let the audience have a good memory!"
"What is the second huge advantage?" After Wu Zichen and Jiang Shuiyuan's analysis, Chen Di felt that ranking first from the bottom was not too bad, and he was in a good mood at the moment, so he automatically ignored Wu Zichen's personal attack on him just now, and hurriedly asked.
Wu Zichen said with a smile: "As for the second advantage, it is that we have enough time to put on makeup before going on stage, and we can work carefully and slowly, and you don't have to worry about spending your makeup at dinner." ”
"What an advantage is this!" Chen Di rolled his eyes angrily, "It's obvious that you want to take advantage of the ample makeup time to take advantage of our female classmates' faces!"
Wu Zichen sneered a few times: "Take advantage? Please, I, Wu, am a person with style and taste, do you think I will be as hungry as a cat or a dog, and I will be a dish in a basket? How's it going, President Chen?"
Chen Di was speechless for a moment. Jiang Shuiyuan, Liu Xinying and others hurriedly came up to pull the round, so that this matter could be lightly exposed.
――――
In the anticipation of everyone at the Kodansha of Chinese Studies, it was finally his turn to perform on stage, but it was already close to 11 o'clock in the evening. Although the performers are anxious and tired, the host and judges are also tired, and they are all like arrows, and they can't wait to go home early to rest. When Jiang Shuiyuan was preparing backstage, he heard the two hosts muttering in a low voice: "Great, it's finally over! Tonight can make me tired enough, I feel sore all over my body, and my feet don't look like my own." ”
"Yes, today is really hard enough, fortunately there are still three or four programs to end and go home! But if you want me to see, the quality of the latter programs is obviously not as good as those at the beginning, it is said that this party is expected to have only 24 programs, and about 25 have been roughly circled before, it is estimated that the next programs will inevitably escape the fate of being eliminated, and it is a waste of time to perform on stage, so it is better to simply choose to give up! Why bother everyone to torture each other here?"
"Who's to say it's not? I think some people might as well go home early and rest than to be embarrassed on stage and delay everyone's time! For example, there was a boy who sang just now, and the high notes couldn't go up, and the low notes couldn't come down, and he was still pretending to be affectionate there, isn't it interesting?"
……
Jiang Shuiyuan was not the only one who heard their conversation, but also many girls in the club who participated in the performance, all of them biting their lips and secretly clenching their fists.
When the host went up to announce the curtain, Jiang Shuiyuan turned around and encouraged loudly: "Everyone, the reason why those hosts say this is because they haven't seen the program of our Guoxue Kodansha yet. When they finish watching our performance, they will find that they have been staying for a long time just to wait for the splendid stage of our show! The so-called 'actions speak louder than words', and we will use the coolest dance and the most beautiful singing to prove to them the great mistake they have just made. Okay, okay?"
"Good!"
Then everyone heard the host's voice: "Next, please enjoy the trendy song and dance brought by the Kodansha of Chinese Studies: Little Apple!"
"Success or failure, honor and disgrace are here. Come on, everyone!"
