Chapter 225: The World's Biggest Winner

After a little heat, the sudden rise in temperature shows that the real summer has officially arrived.

The dust has settled on the college entrance examination, and the excitement of the graduates has also subsided.

The excitement of regaining freedom and the imagination of life in the future have finally died down.

Amid the glare of the sun and the noise of cicadas, they finally realized that it was just another ordinary summer day.

The TV in the living room was on and a replay of the quarterfinals of the World Cup the other day was being played.

Su Chengyi turned up the temperature of the air conditioner by one degree and closed the curtains.

Germany beat France 1-0 and Brazil beat Colombia 2-1. Argentina beat Belgium 1-0 and the Netherlands beat Costa Rica 4-3.

At this point, the World Cup semi-finals are officially released, and at four o'clock in the morning tonight, the earth-shattering score is coming.

The 200,000 invested is about to become 40 million.

Su Chengyi reminded Xu Yang sideways, asking him not to pay too much attention to the result and the process.

But he has clearly been carried away by the fantasy of "six-star Brazil" and has completely lost control of himself.

So Su Chengyi asked him to come to the house to watch together.

In this way, when he rushes to the rooftop, he can still pull two handfuls.

Xu Yang brought two large bags of snacks when he came, and the two sat on the sofa and watched "Idol 101" on Su Chengyi's computer together.

"This show is really hot, I just went to the supermarket, and the supermarket is playing the theme song of the show."

Xu Yang opened a packet of potato chips and pulled the progress bar.

Su Chengyi nodded and didn't speak, looking at the subtitles that appeared on the screen.

"What are you here for?"

The program team asked such a question, and then gave footage of interviews with several contestants.

Some are very frank and say that they want to be stars, some are very straightforward and say that the company let them, and some say that they like to sing and dance.

Finally when Chen Jinzhi appeared, Su Chengyi quickly turned off the double speed.

"Damn, isn't this Sister Jin?!"

Xu Yang forgot to chew the potato chips in his mouth, and shouted indistinctly.

"Maybe I was born to be on stage."

Chen Jinzhi smiled nonchalantly.

As her words fell, the passionate BGM rang out.

"The stage is wonderful because of you."

"Follow the light and get there as far as you want."

"101 girls are ready, are you, ready?"

Xu Yang sat up straight, scratched his head and asked:

"Why do you feel quite burning, is this some kind of competitive show?"

Su Cheng thought for a moment and replied:

"There's nothing wrong with saying it's a competition, after all, it's also a knockout system."

The prelude to the theme song sounded, and the moment the dark stage lit up, Chen Jinzhi, who was standing in the C position, slowly opened his eyes.

The camera gives her eyebrows and eyes a close-up, and her amber pupils reflect light and shadow, like the bright moonlight reflecting on the lake at night.

Su Chengyi instantly felt his breath stagnate.

At first, he didn't quite understand why Chen Jinzhi would say that she was born to stand on the stage, but now he was suddenly enlightened.

No one is better suited to stand in such a spotlight than her.

"Trench !!"

Xu Yang's reaction was exactly the same as the barrage that suddenly occupied the full screen.

"Iris was born with a C-position !!"

"The young lady in the groove C position is so beautiful!"

"One thing to say, this is the pinnacle of appearance in the talent show."

"Laughing to death. The two Dharma protectors next to her were lined by her like two amateurs. ”

"Chen Jinzhi's fans can boast about it, can you not step on it? I took it, I really don't have the quality. ”

"Pure passers-by, ugly don't let me talk about it."

"The staff next to me looked like they were passing by, and they were forcibly pulled up to make up the numbers."

"Hahaha, don't tell the truth in front, okay?"

It's unbelievable that this is just the first episode of the broadcast, and when most viewers are still in the stage of recognizing people, Chen Jinzhi already has serious fans.

"Mr. Yi, do you still have Sister Jin's WeChat? I feel like she's about to explode. ”

Xu Yang swallowed his saliva and asked.

"Hmm."

Su Chengyi was secretly funny, it wasn't just a WeChat relationship.

After the theme song was played, the show officially began.

Su Chengyi originally wanted to continue to drive at double speed or skip, he just wanted to see Chen Jinzhi's footage.

But Xu Yang actually watched the theme song MV and said that he wanted to watch the complete show seriously.

The first part of the show is the selection of seats.

The 101 empty seats are arranged in the shape of a pyramid according to their ranks, and the top position is the C seat, which looks much more luxurious than the others.

The 101 contestants will appear in turn and choose their preferred seats.

"I'll go, I like this sweet girl."

"Mom, that's good."

Xu Yang watched and his mouth never stopped.

It's like an aunt at the entrance of the village who chats about gossip while eating melon seeds.

When NS Company appeared, it gave a lot of reaction shots to the other players present.

Most of them are lamenting that NS is actually going to enter domestic entertainment, it is too terrifying to feel incomparable, and they are looking forward to their performances.

But there are not many shots left for NS trainees.

Jeon Eun-yeon's Chinese skills have not improved much, but she looks cute, and when she appears, she greets her loudly and says "Mud howl!" ", instantly made the other contestants become mother fans.

The program team only gave Chen Jinzhi one shot during the whole process, she raised her head and glanced at the C position, and there seemed to be some ambition in her eyes.

It is also specially equipped with a low BGM, which makes the atmosphere of the scene tense.

But Chen Jinzhi has already had a video chat with Su Chengyi in private.

Don't believe too much in the editing, what you see is what the program team wants you to see.

What she showed in the show was the character set arranged for her by the program team, and she never thought of sitting in the C seat from the beginning.

Su Chengyi subconsciously asked why.

Although he knows that he doesn't know anything about the entertainment industry, it may be difficult to understand the twists and turns, Chen Jinzhi still patiently explained:

"In this kind of talent show where the audience is more favorable, nothing is more important than the character.

The character set for me in the show is to drive high and go low, and the big demon king who is defeated by the real protagonist is a big demon who is lost to everyone.

Of course, the editor will grab all the pieces that can be made to cater to the character, so my way of dealing with it is to try to minimize such clips. ”

When Su Chengyi was still a little incomprehensible, Chen Jinzhi added:

"If you didn't know the real me and just watched the show, would you like a character who is ambitious and thinks highly of yourself?"

Su Chengyi just wanted to say no, but then he thought that it was Chen Jinzhi.

"If you look like this, maybe you are ambitious and think very highly of yourself, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Chen Jinzhi was amused by his sudden rainbow fart, and glanced at him before he continued:

"In short, knowing that it will be maliciously edited, I would rather not have a footage, and I can't do something out of line.

Anyway, in any case, the footage of the performance can't be manipulated. ”

Su Chengyi nodded, and while being persuaded, he comforted:

"It doesn't matter, even then you're still the most popular."

"Teacher Su is so naΓ―ve. Willing to watch Reuters and tidbits, the audience who discuss on the forum is only a very small part, and the real passers-by will only watch the feature film of the show.

But they are the real big heads of the vote, and the power of the fans is important, but not decisive.

When the feature film is broadcast, my popularity will fall. ”

Chen Jinzhi smiled again and tapped his head through the screen.

"Then why can't the program team give you a better character?"

After Su Chengyi finished asking, he realized that he had thrown out a very stupid question.

Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi was called away by the staff before he could answer.

Otherwise, there will definitely be another wave of ridicule.

Su Chengyi didn't say these "insiders" to Xu Yang, who was watching very energetically next to him, on the one hand, he felt that he didn't understand these things at all like himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see how real "passers-by" felt about the show.

After the initial stage performance, trainees will be divided into five grades: A, B, C, D, and F.

They also wear uniforms of different colors, from A to F, pink, yellow, purple, green, and gray.

"Why doesn't ABCDEFG go directly to F without E?"

Xu Yang felt that something was wrong, sang a letter song, and asked suspiciously.

Su Chengyi had already done an investigation, and replied slowly:

"Because F is not the F of ABCDEF, but the F of the English word fail, which means failure."

And when the instructors asked who wanted to be the first to perform, the camera gave Chen Jinzhi very meaningfully.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't mean to raise her hand.

Then the tutor began to preach, to the effect that if you don't dare to do this, why do you come to participate in the show? It's better to go home and farm.

The words were quite heavy, so finally a contestant who had already made his debut raised his hand.

"Wuhu, this sister can, she is bold enough, what about my mobile phone? I'll vote for her. ”

Xu Yang really saw this girl group talent show with a feeling of hot-blooded anime.

Su Chengyi took a look at the famous brand - Nanyun for this brave player, and felt a little pity.

Chen Jinzhi had already told him that she would not choose to be the first to play.

Because the first one to appear will be used by the mentors to set up a strict personality, no matter what the performance is, it will definitely be criticized fiercely.

Facts have proved that Chen Jinzhi is indeed scheming.

Nan Yun, as a personal trainee who has already been out of the Tao once, sings and dances very well, and even has a rap in the middle, and the players off the field are all excited.

Xu Yang was even more excited to cast his maiden vote on his mobile phone.

However, in the mentor evaluation session, the BGM mutated.

"Nanyun, if I'm not mistaken, I once commented on you on another show.

At that time, my view of you was that the future was promising. But right now, I don't see your progress. ”

"The level of singing and dancing can only be said to be barely passing, and for me, I am not satisfied."

"It's brave to dare to sing rap, but it still needs practice."

After an inexplicable criticism, Nan Yun was given an inexplicable B grade.

Xu Yang was speechless and wanted to tap on the keyboard, but was reminded by Su Chengyi that it was not his computer.

Nanyun's frustration also successfully made the contestants lose the confidence to perform on stage, and the scene became anxious again.

The NS group chose to play at this time, and it looked like they were under a certain amount of pressure.

But Su Chengyi knew that the reason for appearing at this time was because the mentors were going to set up amiable, mentors and friends again.

But despite the good timing of her appearance, the result is still as Chen Jinzhi said, she worked overtime and trained for several days to rush out of the first stage, and her personal shots were almost only a few tenths of a second.

Almost the last shot was still dancing, and in the next shot she was already wearing a pink Class A uniform and sitting back in her seat.

There are a lot of shots of Jeon Eun-yeon, every lyric she sings is complete, and her mentor also gave a positive evaluation.

Although there are some people who are dissatisfied with Chen Jinzhi's too few shots, they are still discussing the plot according to the editing of the program team.

β€œοΌŸοΌŸ Why are there so few Iris shots? Is the program team seriously ill? ”

"I just saw that I took A, and I didn't give one of the lenses, so I took it."

"Eun-yeon is so cute, and my mother is soft-hearted."

"I can't understand Chinese and want to come to the mainland to make money."

"I don't understand, but I've been trying hard to say it, don't be too harsh in front."

"The real royal family has appeared."

Su Chengyi has already learned that the royal family means that the debut candidate set in the show, so Quan Eun-yeon is indeed right, after all, NS company is her family.

You can't come to the competition with your own company, and your own daughter won't make her debut.

It's something that can't be helped.

The rest of the trainees came to the stage one after another, and more than half of the show had passed, and Xu Yang was still crying out for Nanyun.

"Mr. Yi, if you say this kind of show, it's just an honest end, what are those vain heads doing, bullying people, isn't it!"

Xu Yang slapped the table angrily, and flipped the computer screen when he raised his hand.

Su Chengyi glanced at him, he was immediately honest, and carefully rearranged the computer.

"Hey, if it's broken, I'll buy you a new one, what about the aliens? In this way, we can still play black games when school starts."

Su Chengyi didn't reply, because he was completely shocked by the scene on the screen.

"There is an invitation below, personal trainee - Lin Yishui."

"What???"

Xu Yang was also shocked.

No, maybe it's a duplicate name?

Both of them stared at the screen closely, and the moment the light came down, they were greeted by a pair of long white and blonde hair, followed by blue eyes as clear as the sea.

The contestants instantly cheered in amazement, and this kind of mixed-race appearance has always been more eye-catching.

Xu Yang muttered:

"Damn, isn't this that half-breed girl??"

β€œ.”

That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Su Chengyi didn't expect that she would actually participate in this show.

Lin Yishui did not choose to sing and dance, but quietly finished singing a song.

When she answered the question, she also directly said that she couldn't dance, but the tutor actually gave her a B grade for the first time, and said that she was looking forward to her next growth path.

I always feel like I smell a royal breath again!!

Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain secretly, since the audit standards are so relaxed, what did Nanyun do wrong, and he should be severely criticized by you!

Xu Yang lowered his head and crackled and typed, asking Jian Xiao what the situation was.

The reply I got was that my mother was originally in the entertainment industry, a very famous director, don't make too much of a fuss.

Su Chengyi just understood, so that's the case.

Therefore, Lin Yishui participated in the show just to brush up his face familiarity, and he will directly take the road of being an actor in the future.

But having said that, seeing her and Chen Jinzhi in the same frame always feels a little weird about what's going on.

After the end of the program, the ranking will be announced at the end, and Chen Jinzhi is still the first place.

But Su Chengyi vaguely realized that Chen Jinzhi was right, if the next issue was still this kind of shot, she would definitely not be able to maintain the first place.

He couldn't help but sigh.

The power of capital is really powerless.

You can casually edit out all the efforts and highlights of one person, leaving only the shots that will cause the audience to misunderstand.

If it weren't for Chen Jinzhi's interpersonal relationship handling, she probably wouldn't have been able to get the C position of the theme song.

Thankfully, she did.

Su Chengyi turned off the computer and moved his eyes to the TV.

Xu Yang was already waving his yellow-blue jersey and began to shout.

This is the home stadium of the Samba Army, and the German fans in the stadium are scattered with only a few pieces, surrounded in the middle.

Neymar and Silva were absent, but the Samba Army was still menacing, attacking the German rear line as soon as they arrived.

"Damn, Marcelo, you're a defender, what are you doing!"

After Marcelo's shot missed, Xu Yang couldn't help but beat the wall and shout.

Su Chengyi drank the juice and remained silent, because this was just the beginning of the tragedy.

Subsequently, Marcelo made up for it and kicked the ball out of the bottom line, the German team got a corner kick opportunity, and Xu Yang nervously pulled out a hole in the sofa.

Kroos took a corner and Muller in front of goal was unmarked and scored.

Germany 1:0 Brazil.

"Grass! I'm really stepping on the horse, and no one is staring at the second baby? Today's line of defense is a colander. ”

Xu Yang let out a long sigh and put down the snack in his hand.

And then Muller's kick crossed the play, and after Akuan answered in the middle, he even gave Brazilian defender Dante a crotch and sent a straight stopper.

Klose's first shot was blocked, followed by a second.

Two to zero.

"!!"

The camera showed the Brazilian legendary star Ronaldo, who was invited to watch the game, and his expression at this time was as uncomfortable as Xu Yang.

Su Chengyi patted him on the shoulder and signaled calm.

After all, there is still a lot of suffering to be endured in the future.

There are already psychologically fragile fans outside the stadium who have begun to cry in despair.

And Xu Yang patted his face and cheered himself up:

"It's okay, it's okay, there's still a chance."

Unexpectedly, just one minute later, his fantasy was severely hit by the heavy reality.

Mesut Ozil sent in a through ball from the right, but Klose, who caught all the attention of the Brazilian defenders, cleverly opted for a leak and Kroos seized the opportunity to slotte home with a powerful shot.

3:0。

This beautiful goal made Xu Yang lose the fighting spirit just now, covering his face and being silent.

Su Chengyi opened a pack of plums on the table and stuffed one into his mouth.

In fact, he is also a little nervous now, although the plot is exactly the same as he remembers, but will there be a slight mistake because of the butterfly effect?

Kroos made a steal in the middle and scored again, and the score came to 4:0.

The Brazilian fans in the stadium were all sad and weeping, and it was completely unacceptable for such a result.

But they probably didn't expect it, and this is not over.

Su Chengyi hadn't finished his words, and the German team entered again.

The game had only reached 30 minutes and had already poured five goals into Brazil.

Xu Yang's expression had changed from shock and anger to confusion and confusion.

"Mr. Yi, am I dreaming? That's not true, is it? ”

Su Chengyi sighed and threw him a pack of plums.

Xu Yang mechanically unpacked the package and stuffed the plum into his mouth.

It was actually very sour, but he ate it with a blank face.

After the end of the first half, the German team was reprimanded by Coach Loew so hard that only Schurrle scored two goals in the second half without knowing why.

When the score came to 7:0, the players on the pitch were already silent, and they didn't dare to laugh when they scored.

The Brazilian fans wept, while the German fans did not dare to celebrate, fearing that they would not be able to walk out of the stadium safely in the event of a riot.

In the final stoppage time, German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made an extremely obvious release action, making the final score 7:1.

Xu Yang's whole body collapsed on the sofa, and Su Chengyi stood up very intimately and turned off the TV.

"It's all said, don't care too much about the result."

"It's okay, it's a big deal. I could, I could put up with a fucking seven to one! Seven to one! ”

The more he thought about it for a while, the more angry he became, Xu Yang "clanged" at the air and hit a set of military body punches.

Su Chengyi held back a smile and poured him a cup of hot water.

"It's just a loss."

Su Cheng thought about it, who would have thought that in the 18th World Cup four years later, the defending champion Germany would pack up and go home in the group stage?

Football is as round as the earth, and nothing is impossible.

After Xu Yang drank a cup of hot water and calmed down, he raised his head calmly and asked:

"Mr. Yi, where is the rooftop going?"

β€œ.”

"I just suddenly remembered that I had studed all these years of New Year's money."

"That's how it is to bet on dogs."

Su Chengyi, the world's biggest winner in this big gamble, said.
