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

Xia Xinglang knew that this behavior was ridiculous. Only masochists would like to read bad reviews. Who doesn't like to hear praises? But just the praises made him feel like he was floating. Do those people really think he is that good?

Many of the users who cursed him used Yin Donghao’s profile picture. Yin Donghao thought it was weird and told him to stop looking at it: “Looking at these will only make you feel worse, and you can’t make everyone like you.”

Xia Xinglang: "Yeah."

"What? And why did he use my profile picture when he scolded you?" Yin Donghao shook the Coke vigorously. "It seems like I was scolding you. I don't think you are annoying, and I won't type your name wrong."

Seeing that he had said so much, Xia Xinglang said, "Your throat is much better."

Yin Donghao waited for the coke bubbles to calm down: "No, aren't we friends? I'm just trying to comfort you."

Friend... You and I are gay, and you treat me as a friend. You are so nice. In his previous life, no one treated him as a real friend. This warm feeling almost gave him goosebumps, and it was the good kind.

"Why are you looking at me?" Yin Donghao suddenly remembered, "But, you told me before that you wanted to form a team again, with Seung Hyuk, and you didn't choose songs with more rapping parts. What did you mean at that time?"

Xia Xinglang's newly touched mood instantly froze: "I, we can form a team for the next performance."

Yin Donghao snorted: "That sounds nice."

Xia Xinglang thought, what are you talking about? Do your Dong fans know that you are so petty? "Seung Hyuk didn't team up with you either."

Yin Donghao: "He wants to be the center, but he's afraid he can't grab the spot from me."

This may sound annoying, but after the high-ranking players gave up on grouping up, the shots of the lower-ranking players in the team also increased. To some extent, this is definitely a good thing. Although I don’t know if there is a script or whether the script is the same as in the previous life, there are definitely changes.

Kim Seung Hyuk was panting as he picked up the takeaway and pushed the door open. “It’s already started, you can’t hear it with the volume turned down so low!”

The first public stage broadcast, the general order of program editing is: opening introduction by the host - performance team appears on stage, members are introduced - enter the practice room to reminisce (reminisce includes team discussion, judges' mid-term evaluation and final rehearsal, this part is the big part) - play the stage performance - contestants canvass for votes (you can cry here) - end, the next group enters the cycle mode.

With nearly sixteen teams, it is impossible for every team to have shots and stories. In order to show all the stages of the first round of performances within three episodes, and the second public performance to follow, some teams even had to cut their stage broadcasts. Their group's first public performance competition was very popular, so they were lucky to be left until the end.

He didn't know what the editing would be like, because he had a feeling that malicious editing was brewing, and the producer would not ask him that kind of question for no reason. The host Park Xia introduced them at the beginning and soon they went on stage. Xia Xinglang was a little dazed when he saw his face. He looked better on camera than usual, and he didn't seem out of place standing next to Yin Donghao.

"Hello everyone, we are the BlackCoat team!"

"Because they all wear black windbreakers?"

"Yes."

Kim Seung Hyuk was unpacking his takeaway food when he sighed, "Ah, we haven't come up with a good team name yet."

The stage lights gradually dimmed, and the first scene cut in was the judges' suggestion to change the center position during the rehearsal. The subtitles gradually appeared: "Center position changed, how will the Black Windbreaker Team get through this difficult time?"

Xia Xinglang could guess the intention of the program, which was to first criticize and then praise. It seemed that the editing would go in a direction that was favorable to him. Sure enough, the story developed towards the beautiful boy comic team cooperation, praising the beautiful friendship. Yin Donghao gave up the C position, and there were many scenes of Xia Xinglang staying up late to practice. At this time, the program released an interview with Yin Donghao.

[Yin Donghao: The C position should be given to my younger brother who seems to be working hard. I have been the C position in the theme song.]

【Yin Donghao: Actually, I feel that he did a very good job and was very dedicated.】

When Yin Donghao saw his interview, he immediately turned around and shook the Coke.

Xia Xinglang thought thoughtfully: "So this is what Brother Donghao thought."

Yin Donghao frowned: "What else! Do I want you to fail in your C position performance and let me take the limelight alone?"

At this time, the comments of other teammates were added.

[Kim Seung Hyuk: Xiaolang was still practicing until midnight. Donghao fell asleep in the dance studio, but Xiaolang was still awake.]

[Li Daxun: I am a person who pays great attention to details.]

At the gathering of three, no one touched the pizza on the coffee table. They were all focused on watching the show. A lot of the intimate interaction shots were edited out in post-production. In fact, if Xia Xinglang had time during rehearsal, he would go over and sit next to Yin Donghao.

In the mid-term evaluation, the instructor still asked to change the center position. Xia Xinglang was very nervous, fearing that the shots he ignored would be edited later. But the next second, the camera was given to Jin Chengxie: "Everyone agreed that it would be better to let Xiaolang come."

The scene changes to Xia Xinglang practicing alone in the dance studio late at night. This is the interview with Xia Xinglang.

[Xia Xinglang: Brother Chengxie and Brother Donghao have helped me a lot, I don’t want to let them down.]

The atmosphere became very inspiring until something unexpected happened during the rehearsal. Xia Xinglang had a severe cold and fever and made many mistakes. Even Yin Donghao stood up to speak for him. The judges asked him if he could persist. Xia Xinglang bowed deeply to his teammates and said, "I will not let you down!"

The camera gave a close-up of him breathing, and his black shirt was wet.

【Yin Donghao: He was sweating a lot and his breathing was very rapid.】

The scene shows everyone backstage taking care of Xia Xinglang. Xia Xinglang was leaning on Jin Chengxie's shoulder and gasping for breath in pain when he was semi-conscious.

I can't believe that he was portrayed as a suffering protagonist! Seeing this, Xia Xinglang picked up the cold pizza and took a bite: "Why don't you eat it?"

Yin Donghao: "Let's talk after we finish reading it."

Kim Seung Hyuk: “Yeah.”

Below is the official stage shot, in perfect clarity, and because it was so well done, the camera cuts to the judges’ room during Xia Xinglang’s performance: “An unexpected performance, Xinglang seemed to be emitting a different light on the stage.”

The rap coach said, "He's a very expressive kid, and his grade will definitely not be a C if he's re-evaluated."

Xia Xinglang was not inferior to Yin Donghao as the C position and dominated the stage with wonderful stage choreography and rich details, especially the movement of opening and closing the fan. The fixed point and camera sense were surprisingly good. Although there were no major changes in the arrangement and choreography, it well demonstrated the modern handsomeness and ancient gorgeousness.

Yoon Dong-ho's part during his turn as C was also very outstanding, but Kim Seung-hyuk's singing segment was too short in comparison.

Xia Xinglang's rap part ended and he smoothly entered the chorus and came to the end. The chorus was repeated and the two leaned on each other's shoulders.

The picture shows the audience below screaming and shouting passionately. This is a charming stage and many audiences are still immersed in it.

Everyone bowed together and thanked the audience. Xia Xinglang fainted backstage, causing another disturbance.

At this time, the story of the next group begins, which is the Utopia confrontation group that they are performing with. The C position of this group is the popular contestant Hanayamain Eiji. His story is rather tragic, but the treatment of the C position is not good. The program team released a clip of invisible bullying. Hanayamain Eiji could not communicate with his teammates and could only practice alone.

Ah, the footage that was cut before was put here. The production team put the scene of him and Hanayama Ineji rehearsing here, and then Yoon Dong-ho joined them. The image he portrayed was too good. Did the production team really want to promote him?

[Yingzhi: Xia is a very nice person. Seeing me practicing alone, he offered to rehearse with me.]

[Xia Xinglang: Chengxie and Yingzhi were very helpful. They helped me correct my movements.]

Subtitles: The light of friendship in the second place of the competition!

In the end, although Yingzhi performed very well on the stage, his teammates became a burden. Although this was not a song that required a neat group dance, his teammates failed to even perform the basic movements smoothly, which greatly reduced the viewing experience.

Now Kim Seung Hyuk finally relaxed: "So this is what I look like on stage."

Yin Donghao: "I felt like I was trying really hard, but the camera didn't show it, and the stage was really weak. Xiaolang did a great job, though."

Kim Seung Hyuk agreed, "Xiaolang feels very skilled since he practiced until late at night."

Xia Xinglang only noticed that his face looked very photogenic, and didn't pay attention to anything else: "Really?" In my previous life, I debuted at the age of 18 and died at the age of 30. My 12-year idol career was not lived in vain.

The canvassing segment was cut, and the final score was announced directly backstage: 430 votes to 149 votes.

Because there were no shots of Xia Xinglang, that's why they deleted it. Just when people thought so, the program team actually played flashbacks and added shots of everyone rushing around. In the end, the producer gave Xia Xinglang first aid and took him to the ambulance. Everyone wanted to get in the car to accompany them, but they were persuaded by the producer. As a stand-in for Xia Xinglang, the producer took out a stuffed toy for children, which could be vaguely identified as a wolf because of its gray fur.

Yin Donghao took the doll to the stage to canvass for votes: "Xiaolang has been rehearsing until very late these days due to health reasons. He caught a cold and had a fever. He just fainted backstage, but I hope he is here, with us!"

The audiences were all moved, and at the climax, Yin Donghao and his teammates hugged the doll together.

Yin Donghao shook the Coke vigorously without saying a word.

Xia Xinglang looked at him, and Yin Donghao seemed to be really shy: "Don't look at me, the doll is not with me."

Kim Seung Hyuk smiled and said, "The doll is here with me. Donghao even slept with it last week. I hope you get better soon."

Yin Donghao: "It's just that the doll happened to be next to me when I fell asleep."

Xia Xinglang: "Thank you for caring about me."

Yin Donghao wiped his face: "...You're welcome."

As the show came to an end, an introduction video of each contestant canvassing for votes was released.

Jin Chengxie rummaged around and took out a black wolf doll with mottled fur: "Little wolf, do you want to take yourself back? Or do you want to stay here?"

Xia Xinglang heard something else, but he couldn't say it out loud: "Let's finish watching the show together. If there's nothing else to do, don't disturb me. I should go back."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "The little wolf doll is calling your name here!"

Xia Xinglang: "Do you want me to hold you when you sleep?"

Yin Donghao: "Take it."

Kim Seung Hyuk walked him downstairs and said, "Come to our company. It's very difficult to be a solo trainee."

Just as he thought, this was a contract invitation from the company, and it was from a big company, TUBE. Xia Xinglang deliberately showed a surprised expression, pretending to realize it now: "Will the company invite me to sign a contract?"

"You don't have to answer so quickly," Kim Seung Hyuk handed him the doll, "We are friends, right? This is just a suggestion from a friend. If you can't debut, becoming a trainee here will also provide a good development environment."

It doesn't look like an invitation from the company, but according to rumors, Kim Seung-hyup is a relative of a certain director, so maybe he can be admitted to TUBE.

Xia Xinglang smiled and said, "I'll think about it carefully."

The invitation from a big company, could this be the reason why Huashanyuan withdrew from the competition?
