Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

On the day when the elimination order was announced, Xia Xinglang was almost the last contestant to arrive. He couldn't help searching on his phone and didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. The recording site was crowded with people. Xia Xinglang looked for a seat. There were more than 100 people and nearly half of them would be eliminated. It was really cruel to think about it. He walked along and didn't recognize many of the contestants. They probably didn't have many shots like himself in his previous life, and they were all small roles in the background.

Jin Chengxie waved at him, motioning him to come over, there was a seat for him: "Is your fever gone?"

Xia Xinglang rubbed his nose: "I still have a slight cold, it's okay."

Jin Chengxie took his forehead temperature and smiled at him: "Yeah, the fever is gone."

What Xia Xinglang cares about most is the voting result: "Well, our group votes..."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, we don't have your contact information either."

Yin Donghao had been standing behind them: "Our group lost."

Xia Xinglang didn't react much. He had lost in his previous life. The fan dance of Hanayamain Eiji was praised by his fans as a classic. Xia Xinglang had watched it many times, so he was naturally convinced and felt that it was okay to lose. "Well, who has the most individual votes in the group?"

Just as Yin Donghao was about to point at himself, Jin Chengxie immediately frowned and patted Yin Donghao on the head: "Nonsense, we obviously won, Xiaolang, you are the first in the team, and the C position has the most votes."

"The program should be edited this week," Kim Seung Hyuk asked him, "If it's convenient, would you like to come to our company after the recording to watch the broadcast together? It's not that you have to come, and we won't force you if you don't want to, but it will feel good for everyone to watch it together. How should I put it... It feels like a reunion."

Xia Xinglang glanced at Yin Donghao, and Yin Donghao also looked at him: "What?"

"I'll go." Because he might have to be tied up with you to sell gay stuff, Xia Xinglang showed a friendly smile, "I'm looking forward to it."

Actually, it's a bit early to say this. Xia Xinglang felt that he was hovering on the edge of elimination. The host and judge, Ms. Park Xia, got straight to the point at the beginning and talked about the second performance. In terms of vocal music, dance, and rap, everyone had to clarify their main positioning, whether it was lead singer, lead dancer or rapper. The players ranked within the top 60 in this round would be re-evaluated and then re-grouped according to their positioning. Each group would select the song combination they wanted to perform for the second performance.

The program arrangement was actually very cunning, knowing how to stir up the expectations of the contestants. The rankings were not announced for a long time, and the rules of the second performance were explained for a long time before they were announced. The program should have a 60-second advertisement here when it was officially broadcast, but they were recording, so the rankings were announced smoothly. To be honest, he was still fantasizing in his previous life, reporting from the bottom of the sixties all the way forward. Park Xia kept flipping through the cue cards, but his name didn't appear in the top ten. Xia Xinglang also fantasized that he would appear in the top ten, but he was eliminated just like that...

The people next to him were calling him: "It's your turn, your place!"

What? It’s my turn now?

Xia Xinglang saw his ranking on the big screen: 37th, with .

It’s neither high nor low, at least I can make it to the third performance.

Park Xia held the cue card and called the 30th to 39th contestants to come on stage one by one. Xia Xinglang just went on stage in a daze. Each contestant had to express his thoughts. Depending on the length of the program and the ranking, most of the thoughts of the top contestants would be left in the end, and their speeches would most likely be cut out, so Xia Xinglang planned to speak briefly, such as thank you everyone for voting for me, and I will continue to work hard.

The microphone was passed to him, and Park Ha asked, "Xia Xinglang was only seventeen years old, almost the youngest person present. He was unwell before, but he insisted on performing despite having a severe fever. He fainted backstage after the performance, which left a deep impression on us. What did you think at the time?"

Xia Xinglang held the microphone and got a little stuck when he got nervous: "To be honest, I was thinking that I couldn't canvass for votes anymore, which is a pity."

Park Xia teased, "It seems that contestant Xia Xinglang doesn't know the follow-up situation. Did your teammates tell you?"

Xia Xinglang: "This... I haven't asked yet."

Park Ha smiled and said, "Then I won't tell you. You'll know when the show airs. OK, is there anything else you want to say to the fans?"

Xia Xinglang blushed for a rare moment: "I want to say thank you to the audience who came to see me, the fans who watched our performance, thank you for voting, and thank you to my teammates from the first performance. I am very grateful to my brothers for taking care of me, and I will keep working hard! I will strive to improve next time!"

Because he was too nervous, his speech was not very fluent, so embarrassing... He treated this as a canvassing scene and actually bowed. None of the other contestants bowed. Xia Xinglang touched his hot face and sat on the seat belonging to No. 37.

It was great that I was not eliminated. Xia Xinglang thought about the sad ending of his previous life and felt that he was in a completely different world.

The ranking was announced in order, Kim Seung-hyuk ranked fifth, Hwasanwon Young-ji was second, and as for the first place, it was of course Yoon Dong-ho, nothing much to say.

As the next recording session is about to begin, the program producer conducted a follow-up interview with him individually, probably to adjust and supplement the materials for the new episode being produced.

Producer: "You were able to perform on stage for such a long time even though you had a fever. You seem to have great perseverance. What were you thinking at that time?"

Xia Xinglang decided to unswervingly follow the path of putting friendship first: "The judges have been suggesting that our group change the center, but Chengxie and Donghao both spoke up for me. I don't want to disappoint them, the audience, or myself." This answer is positive enough, right? In fact, he didn't think about anything at the time. He was just thinking that someone was watching my performance on stage. Just having this thought was enough to make his blood boil.

Producer: “Who do you think helped you the most?”

Xia Xinglang tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment: "Brother Yingzhi and Brother Donghao, they corrected a lot of my movements."

Producer: "How do you feel about playing the center position?"

This kind of leading question... Xia Xinglang vaguely smelled the smell of malicious editing, so he had to answer carefully: "I am very happy that the performance was successful with my teammates. I think it was also inseparable from the help of my teammates, especially Donghao and Chengxie. They took good care of me, and I like them very much."

The rest of the questions were about the details of the stage, and Xia Xinglang returned to the scene. Park Xia began to introduce the rules of the level re-evaluation. In simple terms, the contestants choose their own positioning, vocal, dance and rap, and the mentors in each field will first train the contestants, and then conduct level assessments two days later, and then choose their own songs to form teams.

"Do you know the theme of the second performance? Looking at the three classrooms in front of us, there are signs for vocal music, dance, and rap respectively. I believe all the contestants have already known their own positions on the stage. So the theme of the second performance is - Positioning Selection!"

Generally speaking, a pop song will have a rap part, inserted before the chorus or directly used as the chorus. The appropriate acceleration of the melody beat can stimulate the audience's hearing and increase the sense of freshness. This is a common operation, but it is impossible for every song to have rap. Similarly, some songs have melody suitable for lead singers, some songs have rhythm suitable for main dancers, and some songs have rhythm suitable for rap. They have different positioning. How to integrate different positioning in one song and make it shine in group battles is not an easy task...

Next, everyone went to three rooms respectively. Some contestants were still struggling, but Xia Xinglang did not hesitate at all and walked towards the room marked "Rap".

The sixty contestants would definitely not be evenly distributed into three rooms. Just as Xia Xinglang thought, very few chose to be the rappers. So far, only ten people have gathered in this classroom, and most of them went to the dance room.

When it comes to positioning, it has to be linked to the center of the stage. Although the lead singer is the core of the team and has a very important role, and will get a lot of lyrics, the lead singer is generally not the center. Because people are visual animals, it can be directly seen from the direct-shot data that the lead singer has too many singing segments, so the dance moves will be reduced accordingly, and the viewing experience will naturally decrease, resulting in the team's direct-shot data being at the bottom.

Then there is no doubt that the most outstanding person on the stage is the main dancer. Generally speaking, the main dancer in the team has high straight-shot data and is easy to watch, so fans will watch it repeatedly to increase the playback volume. Compared with increasing the straight-shot data for the lead singer, it is more practical to increase the audio source data... It seems that the rapper is excluded in this way, but a good rap may be the highlight of the song, and mostly it serves as icing on the cake, unless it is a pure hip-hop style song, but the hip-hop style has a limited audience, and its popularity and singing degree are destined to be reduced.

Why did Xia Xinglang choose to be the rapper instead of the dancer? Because a new system task appeared in front of him.

[Please interact closely with the designated characters.

Requirements: The number of views of the behind-the-scenes clips exceeds 70.

Character: Kim Seung Hyuk.

If you don’t sell homosexuality, you will die. Countdown...】

In his impression, Kim Seung-hyuk has always been the rapper. He is a creative player who can compose music and write lyrics. He has released some of his own songs on private platforms. Xia Xinglang has listened to a few of his songs and they sound very good, with a good balance between pop and rap melodies.

How can I be gay with him? Xia Xinglang fell into deep thought. His idea of ​​being gay was still at the low level of physical contact. Before, he and Yin Donghao liked to lean on or hug each other when they had nothing to do. How to be gay in a high level? Through eye contact and atmosphere? Xia Xinglang kept looking for Chengxie in the room. No way, did Jin Chengxie go to the dance studio? Damn it, he shouldn't have made the decision so early. Now he can only be gay to the air.

As time came to an end, Xia Xinglang, who was waiting by the door, finally saw Jin Chengxie push the door open and come in. His golden hair was particularly conspicuous in the room. Xia Xinglang was sitting at the door and looked up and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming. But he was not the only one coming in, Yin Donghao also came in.

Jin Chengxie saw Xia Xinglang's expression change from surprise to shock: "Xiaolang, what's wrong?"

Xia Xinglang decided to bring Yin Donghao along to sell together. Let’s just do it as a triangle: “I kind of miss you guys.”

Jin Chengxie touched his head. The three of them sat very close to each other. The air was quiet for a while. Chengxie suddenly asked, "Xiaolang, why did you choose the rap classroom?"
