"Xiaozhou, we are about to start." The staff trotted over, "Any questions?"

"Oh, no." Xu Xiaozhou smiled apologetically, and walked back to his seat.A Ge came over to ask him to get his cell phone, but he hesitated for a while and whispered: "It's okay, just leave it by my side."

The last guest was seated and masked, the backstage was ready, and the live broadcast started instantly.There was a [-]-second freeze on the huge screen in front of it, and then it cut to the scene from the perspective of the stage. Four stars appeared together and greeted the close-up shot of the drone. The drone flew in front of Xu Xiaozhou. He blinked slightly at the screen.

Sure enough, the barrage burst into rhythm in an instant. Except for the fans who made idol popular, the rest of the messages on the screen were frantically guessing who the masked guest was.

Xu Xiaozhou turned on the mic at the right time, and the automatically processed timbre changed subtly, and there was a hint of hoarseness in the mystery.

"Hi everyone, I am the masked guest of "Ace Stage"."

The host interfaced at the right time: "The masked guest is the highest in the audience, code-named Ace. He does not participate in the PK rating, but he has two cards in his hand."

The close-up cuts to Xu Xiaozhou's desktop.On the left and right are two metallic cards, the black card on the left with a gold "S" logo, and the red card on the right with a white "X".

"X card represents one veto right, S card represents one vote right to advance, the ace guest has two chances of reversal of fate in each episode of the program, once the ace is played, regardless of the choices and evaluations of other guests, the will of the ace guest determines everything .”

The host held his breath when he finished speaking. Sure enough, the barrage increased several times in an instant. The competition system with such a strong smell of war was itself a hot spot, and all the fans and onlookers were blown up.

[Dare to ask what is the basis for choosing the ace guest? 】

[If the person who took off the mask in the end is some messed up person, your program team may not be able to keep it, let me tell you]

【But this man's momentum is quite able to hold the field】

[The mask is very handsome, I am very curious about who it is]

【I already smell the smoke of a mighty tearing apart】

【Uh, this mask only covers three-quarters of the face, I think I recognize it just by looking at the mouth】

[It's a bit like me, but I can't believe it, I'll go and calm down first]

Xu Xiaozhou trembled when he saw the orange barrage, and suddenly felt that his mouth exposed to the air was at a loss. He subconsciously licked his lower lip, but a few seconds later, the same orange barrage appeared again .

[This little trick can't be real, right... Goose, look at the code [Clover]]

Xu Xiaozhou thumped in his heart, and his black eyes behind the mask seemed to be calmer, but his heart was very tormented.

Fortunately, the fans are sensible fans, and there may not be many people who recognize them. Clover's expressions drifted past a few scattered, without causing any splashes.The host had finished announcing the lineup and grouping of the first round of players, and the barrage was all about discussing the competition system. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his seat.

There seemed to be a gaze in the corner of the eye, Xu Xiaozhou subconsciously turned his head, and he saw Chang Jiang looking at him with a smile.It's just that the smile that was too late to hold back didn't just seem to be unrestrained and unrestrained in the usual way, but a faint longing was hidden.He had never seen such a look before, he frowned imperceptibly behind the mask, and looked away.

The eight contestants were randomly divided into four groups for two-two PK, and the winners of each group directly entered the next round, and the remaining four were semi-eliminated for PK again, and finally six people entered the second round.Six people will have a cooperative stage in the second round. After the stage is over, three survive and three are eliminated.The three who entered the final round will once again carry out the PK on the individual stage to decide No.1.

In order to distinguish the rights of one vote to veto from one vote to advance, Xu Xiaozhou's two cards cannot be used in the same round, and the veto card can only be used in the second round.He paid attention to the lottery grouping of the players. Wang Siwei was not very lucky. In the first round, he was in the same group as a second-tier trafficker. big.But He Chenran was in the same group as a newcomer whose popularity and professional ability belonged to the middle and lower ranks, with a high degree of safety.

The lights of the guest seats were turned off, and the stage beams of light were turned on. Xu Xiaozhou's eyes fell on the two aces.In the dark, the card body disappeared, but the X and S marks shone brightly.

On the stage are bodies as young as himself, dancing with the dust in the air under the strong light in the dark.Each player's style and field control ability are very different. What's interesting is that although Xu Xiaozhou feels in his heart that he is not qualified to sit in the seat of the highest examiner, he can clearly see everyone's weaknesses.

The boys at the beginning had solid basic skills and danced with great power.However, every movement of his is too deliberate, and the feeling of excessive force is very strong. A dance is murderous, without the shock of the dance itself.

The people in his group were not very knowledgeable, and they couldn't tell what was good from what was bad. They were frightened by his aura, and the whole stage seemed to be locked in a frame. They couldn't let go at all, and there was no typhoon to speak of.

These people debuted earlier than Xu Xiaozhou, and they are all seniors according to their seniority, but after watching a few stages, he felt a little dispirited, lost the post-processing in the editing program, and judged the business of these people from the most intuitive perspective Ability, none of them can be called brilliant.

And He Chenran—whatever is offstage is what is on stage.In Xu Xiaozhou's impression, the few public stages after his debut were all modern dance, probably because the contrast between modern dance and his character design is not strong, which is safer, but this person's dance foundation in the practice room back then was all Abolished, except for the balance of force and softness, which is pretty good, there is no bright spot.

He Chenran and Wang Siwei both advanced in the first round, and the traffic that was dropped by PK in the same group as Wang Siwei also successfully qualified in the rematch and entered the second round.

During the second round of stage preparation, the host cue and the off-stage guests interacted with the barrage audience.Chang Jiang has the most fans. He talked for a long time, and then the host turned to Xu Xiaozhou, "The ace guest didn't say a word in the two rounds just now. Is there anything you want to share with everyone?"

Xu Xiaozhou laughed, "So I can speak while exercising power?"

There was silence in the studio for two seconds, and then the camera men next to them all laughed, and the host also failed, "Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. What I said just now——After each round of PK, the four judges and teachers will have a look at the contestants. Review and selection, the ace guest can exercise power at any time. But you can also speak."

The staff in the entire studio were laughing softly, and the barrage rolled over the hilarious emojis screen by screen, covering the screen, full of ghosts and animals, and the effect of the program exploded in an instant.Xu Xiaozhou smiled softly, "Well, I actually have a lot to say."

He pressed the microphone to his lips, looked down and flipped through the few notes he had written just now, and said: "In fact, everyone present should be my seniors, so I am not making comments from the position of a trump card, but hope I can share my thoughts on the stage with everyone.”

[The tone of this person's speech is a bit familiar, I can't remember where I saw it before]

【Familiar with 1】

【Is he saying they are all seniors to be polite or is it true】

[The program team will not really find someone who is outside the [-]th line]

Xu Xiaozhou didn't look at the barrage, but looked at his notes seriously, and said in a low voice: "My understanding of the stage can be compared to a time-lapse photography. It is only a few minutes. But it is also very different from time-lapse photography. It is not a fast forward of a lot of things, but uses stronger contrast, laughing and cursing, and uses very full things in a very strong way. The impact showed."

Xu Xiaozhou paused, and then said: "Especially on the personal stage, it is the most important and basic requirement for the audience not to blink or lose their minds for even a tenth of a second. Therefore, the control of smooth movements and changes in strength Controlling, as well as the intonation and timbre of each vocal part, these should be instincts formed after thousands of practice, and you can freely achieve 100% accuracy anytime and anywhere. Only in this way, people on the stage can use their own Only when you put your emotions into the stage can there be a so-called typhoon.”

[I understand the truth, but few people in China can do it]

[I haven't been chasing stars for a year or two, I can only think of Chen Jingfeng from your description]

[It was Chen Jingfeng back then, brother Feng is still old now, hey]

【You in front are making trouble? 】

[Don't be irritable, Xiao Jingjing loves Brother Feng very much, but Brother Feng really hasn't been on stage in recent years]

Xu Xiaozhou raised his head, glanced at the screen calmly, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, "Stage and music trends change rapidly, but Chen Jingfeng's stage for the draft finals, even today, is still amazing."

The barrage was immediately swiped by the small scenery, the staff came up to send water to several guests, Xu Xiaozhou turned off the microphone, and an unpleasant figure suddenly approached from the corner of his eye.Chang Jiang looked at him and smiled, "You are really loyal to Brother Feng."

"Loyalty?" Xu Xiaozhou frowned, this word made him very uncomfortable.Chang Jiang realized that he had said something wrong, and added: "It's not about you, it's just about feeling, your affection for Brother Feng is very straightforward."

Xu Xiaozhou's voice was a little displeased, "I don't think anyone has the capital to doubt the senior's professional ability. I don't think expressing my appreciation and admiration is a straightforward favor."

Chang Jiang narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Look at you, when you talk to me, you are not at all gentle as usual, and you are very defensive. This doesn't match your polite and amiable personality."

Xu Xiaozhou also laughed when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, I have been beaten, so is it necessary to put on a smiling face anytime and anywhere?"

The smile on the face of the person opposite froze, but the smile on Xu Xiaozhou's lips became wider. He unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, then said lightly: "Chang Jiang, stay away from me, I don't like you."

Those black eyes were calm but deep enough not to be rejected, there was still a smile on the corner of his lips, and the camera was shooting from a distance, thinking that the two were chatting about their daily life familiarly.However, there was no smile in his black eyes, and he whispered: "He Chenran has always pursued only popularity and wealth, and he is narrow-minded in life, so he can be a villain, and he can also be your dog. But I am not .”

"I have achieved the pursuit of being suppressed for many years. In this circle, I just want to make works steadily, protect my fans, and do what I want. So, don't feel that I dare not do anything , you—stay away from me, and my cat.”

The six-in-three stage was a temporary rehearsal by six people, so the quality was a little worse than the previous stage, but this time the director worked hard to cut the camera. Xu Xiaozhou watched the live broadcast on the screen, which was much more enjoyable than the live scene.

The four commented one by one, and Chang Jiang was still protecting He Chenran invisibly, obviously trying to ensure that he entered the next round.Xu Xiaozhou didn't intervene, he just decisively showed the black card before the top three and the other two places were finalized.

The few guests who were discussing stopped and looked up at him. The live broadcast shot was a close-up, and he said softly and firmly: "I want to keep one person this round. Although the previous performances have not used ostentatious dances, But the seriousness of the singing skills and the stage is awe-inspiring, and I dare not give up."

Xu Xiaozhou deliberately paused when he said this, and when some people guessed Wang Siwei appeared on the bullet screen, he smiled and said the name logically.

A person with a low-key style of painting actually got the first one-vote promotion card of "Ace Stage". Even Wang Siwei himself, who was standing among several contestants, raised his eyebrows in surprise, but when he looked up, he saw behind the mask Those eyes were smiling.

He was in a trance for a moment.Xu Xiaozhou seems to have changed a lot this year, but he doesn't seem to have changed at all. He is still the gentle and shy child who knows how to reciprocate.Wang Siwei pursed his lips, bowed to the camera, and stepped into the safe zone ahead of time.

Although Xu Xiaozhou's move was surprising, there was nothing wrong with it.No one scolded the barrage, and soon began to discuss the last top three places.In the last place, Xu Xiaozhou entered the stage of playing dead again, and did not say a word the whole time.

In fact, he was very familiar with the routines of the other four judges.

Chang Jiang must protect He Chenran. He Chenran's comprehensive strength is above the average among the eight people, and his popularity is among the best, so there is no suspense.The factors to be considered by the other guests are more complicated-the level must be reasonable. On this basis, the higher the natural popularity, the better. It can cater to the plot that the program group wants, and it will not recruit popular contestants or theirs. Fans bear grudges.It is said that they are contestants and judges, but they are all in the same circle, and they see each other clearly.

Without any suspense, the third spot fell to the traffic who was in the same group as Wang Siwei in the first round. The three of them entered the final round and started immediately.

The camera cut to Xu Xiaozhou, only to see that the young man who had been sitting upright suddenly picked up the one-vote veto card on the table, and twirled it in his hand.There was such a strong sense of spookiness in that scene that the director was distracted and stopped the shot that was going to disappear in a flash for several seconds. This lazy and spooky movement was naturally captured by the audience. It is very interesting to scan the mysterious guests screen by screen.

He Chenran, who was performing on the stage, looked towards Xu Xiaozhou, full of resentment.Xu Xiaozhou just lowered his head and sneered, looking back without fear, He Chenran was in a daze when the light and shadow switched, and saw something in the black eyes in the distance contracted violently, as if folded in the darkness Light it up.

like a cat.

He froze, got stuck in a loop, and missed a line of the lyrics.

There was a very subtle awkward atmosphere on the scene, his back was drenched in cold sweat, and he immediately concentrated on completing the stage.Several judges still gave relatively conservative evaluations, and mentioned his mistakes with only two sentences "don't be too nervous", but He Chenran kept looking nervously at Xu Xiaozhou's position.

The boy was just playing with the card in his hand, as if he had no intention of speaking, but the more Xu Xiaozhou was like this, the more uneasy he felt.

He sat under the stage as if on pins and needles, and finally waited for the last person to complete the stage. The host invited the three of them to the stage, and the first round of the ace stage competition began.

The discussion among the four judges was intense. Wang Siwei's level was stable in the typhoon atmosphere, but the overall stage was not blown up.He Chenran's dance is very difficult, with a lot of memory points, but there are mistakes, while the other's flow is generally stable, but the selection of songs and dances is very conservative, and there is no level of performance.

The four discussed for several minutes, Chang Jiang suddenly summed up everyone's evaluation, and then said: "Personally, I think the stage still needs to convey an experience, and the most important thing is to make the stage explode and ignite..."

"Sorry." Xu Xiaozhou interrupted suddenly.He looked at Chang Jiang with a smile, "I am close to the meaning of my predecessors. The stage is to convey an experience, and the best experience for the audience is the ace stage. But my card—" He paused and moved The side of the card marked with X was exposed to the camera, sighed slightly, and said in a tone that seemed a little regretful: "I thought this card would never have a chance to be used, but it might still have to be released."

The audience was silent, and He Chenran held his breath. He stared at Xu Xiaozhou, but Xu Xiaozhou still smiled freely: "I hope that seniors don't hate me. But the integrity of the stage should be the most basic thing." Guaranteed, it is a pity that the seniors made a mistake, but it cannot be denied that this is a very lively stage."

As he spoke, he showed the card without hesitation, and put it directly into the card slot representing He Chenran's seat in front of the close-up camera.

Break it!

He Chenran was vetoed by one vote in the three rounds, and missed the championship of the first round, and naturally he could not join the subsequent schedule.

All the bullet screens were blown up, and there were all cheers and curses, but the masked boy was very calm, sitting there neither humble nor overbearing, making people puzzled.

A player with Wang Siwei's style can't get No.1. Xu Xiaozhou has already tried his best to protect his shots. Being No.2 is really the best result.After the live broadcast ended, Wang Siwei chatted with Xu Xiaozhou for a while. Xu Xiaozhou went back to prepare to change clothes, but suddenly there was a footstep in the dressing room where everyone was gone.

It was a somewhat messy and impulsive footsteps.

As if he had guessed who the person was, he paused with his fingers on the button of his shirt, and walked out calmly, looking at He Chenran who was furious.

"Xu Xiaozhou, you are really talented!" He Chenran's exquisite facial features were a little distorted, "You are so smart, Bao Wang Siwei, a low-key talent, was sent to the final round, and he caught my small mistake and showed the negation card. It seems natural, but it actually took a lot of thought!"

Xu Xiaozhou smiled, and asked calmly, "Is it a small mistake in your eyes to miss words and make mistakes on stage?"

"It's not your intention!"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You—" He Chen was furious, and he stretched out his hand to point at Xu Xiaozhou, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you got a wicked cat, tell you, all the spiritual power in the world is not obtained for nothing , wanton squandering will be backlashed, I am waiting for that day!"

Xu Xiaozhou smiled, his face was a little pale after wearing the mask for more than four hours, but it made his black eyes and red lips even more breathtaking.He slowly walked to He Chenran's side, stretched out two fingers to push He Chenran's hand away, and said softly: "Then I hope you can understand this truth, Sangsang seems to have unlocked some new skills recently, and you can use them whenever you want. I can kill a cat or a bird with my mind. I can't control the evil cat, if one day it thinks of you, its former owner..."

He Chenran's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Xu Xiaozhou in disbelief, but Xu Xiaozhou just laughed out loud, and there was a madness and evilness in his voice that had never been seen before, and there seemed to be some terrible soul hidden in those black eyes, In the next second, the pupils would burst out and devour him.

"I don't know whether spiritual power can be obtained for nothing, but I know that mysterious power is often destined, and those who try to get their hands on it will be backlashed."

He Chenran was stunned, he watched Xu Xiaozhou pass by him, his body was stiff as if being entangled by something, unable to move.When Xu Xiaozhou walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something. He looked back at him in the mirror with a serious expression, and said, "Suppressing you is revenge for myself. But I don't have that much patience, and I won't be with you all the time." I can't get over it, you can bear it for a while, and don't show your presence in front of me, maybe I will forget you as a person. But let's talk about it ugly, if you still dare to have any thoughts about my cat, then anything is possible Happened, understand?"

Xu Xiaozhou's voice fell, and before He Shenran could react, he turned and went out the door.

The sound of the door frame was not loud, but it seemed that this empty corridor was even quieter.He snorted contemptuously, and casually replied a few messages from Chen Jingfeng, planning to find a changing room that was really empty and change his clothes, and then hurried back to see the little ancestor.

However, as soon as Xu Xiaozhou changed his clothes, Age knocked on the door and came in, hesitantly said: "Xiaozhou, that—Changjiang seems to be looking for you."

"Changjiang?"

"Yes. Uh... Brother Feng doesn't seem to like him, so I also..."

Xu Xiaozhou smiled, without embarrassing him, and said decisively: "I should have arrived at the hotel at this time, so just ignore him."

He followed his assistant to the garage. As soon as the car drove out of the studio underground, the phone vibrated, and there was another message from that strange number.

"Why hide so far away? In fact, I just want to sigh with emotion. The way you teach He Chenran a lesson is really charming."

The author has something to say:

Sangsang: My mom hasn’t come back yet, hey

Sangsang: Huge room, empty bed, sleepy cat
