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

When Xia Xinglang asked this question, asking if he had ever thought about being the center of the stage, Hong Zhanglin was visibly hesitant.

Hong Zhanglin answered after a long while: "Who wouldn't want to? But the camera is there, and everyone has limited camera time."

"Since even Brother Zhang Lin is thinking about it," Xia Xinglang said, "then other people must be thinking about it too. They just don't say it out loud because of politeness. Groups have to compete with each other, and members within a group also have to compete. This is normal in the entertainment industry."

In Xia Xinglang's eyes, the relationship between the members of the idol group is both rivals and teammates.

"You're right." Hong Zhanglin swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple moving, "But I've given up on this idea. As long as I can stand in the most suitable position, that's fine."

Everyone has their own judgment. Xia Xinglang will not intervene actively, nor will he look down on others. He just thinks ambition is the most important. From debuting on a talent show to struggling until now, who doesn’t want to be number one?

Kim Seung Hyuk patted them both from behind and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing," Hong Zhanglin said, "We were just talking about the year-end stage."

"The final rehearsal is about to begin," Jin Chengxie pressed Xia Xinglang's shoulder, "Let's go quickly. There won't be any stage accidents this time. Everyone should perform in their best condition."

The end-of-year stage is crucial, and we have rehearsed three times, and this is the final rehearsal.

Xia Xinglang almost couldn't sleep last night, and many past scenes flashed through his mind. He joined a small company's group for commercial performances, and after five years of activities, the group announced its disbandment. He sang alone in a bar and worked part-time as a radio DJ. Then he signed a contract with the company again and joined a new group to debut. This time he finally achieved success and stepped onto the year-end stage at the age of 25.

This is a very large stage that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with the best lighting, choreography and sound effects.

He is now 17 years old, 18 in lunar age. He arrived here seven years earlier than in his previous life, and the starting point is completely different. He needs to stand higher.

[Mission completed! Your relationship with group member 'Xiao Yu' has deepened! The number of likes exceeds 5 million. Please select one of the following characteristics as a reward:

Chariot of the Moon Goddess (a chariot pulled by deer that can go anywhere): Improves dance attributes.

Ikaros' wings (wings that could melt and fall off at any time, the closer to the sun, the easier it is to fall): enhance the appeal of the stage.

Pilot (how to guide the direction depends on the guide): improve the concentration on the stage. 】

Icarus' wings were made of waxy feathers. The higher he flew, the more he would be melted by the sun and fall. But Xia Xinglang still wanted to reach out and touch the sun. He really needed such a pair of wings.

The rehearsal went smoothly. Xiao Yu was trying to compete with him. The rhythm and shoulder movements during his solo dance completely outshone the other dancers.

Because the two songs had to be performed together, the formation and stage movement had to be changed. In addition, the company also assigned them a group of dancers, and each person would have a solo dance of more than ten seconds before the introduction.

As for the stage costumes, they had to be extremely gorgeous for such an important occasion as the year-end stage. Everyone's suit jacket was inlaid with diamonds, and even the gloves and microphones were inlaid with diamonds. The earrings and necklaces were also very rich. Xia Xinglang wore a choker around his neck. They planned to take off their jackets after the first song, wearing a silk shirt underneath, and then continue to perform the second song.

"Should we shout slogans before going on stage?" asked Kim Seung-hyuk.

"Everyone, shout with force." Xia Xinglang put his hand on it.

"fighting!"

Xiao Yu's hand was folded on the back of his hand. Xia Xinglang looked at him and said, "Brother Xiao Yu, are you still angry?"

"I'm not your brother for nothing," Xiao Yu smiled at him provocatively, "Xiaolang, just stand aside and watch me carefully."

Huashanyuan Eitoshi also said: "Xiaolang, you have to look at me carefully too, watch me dance."

"Then I have to look at a lot of people," Xia Xinglang laughed, "I might as well just look at myself."

There was a small clash between the two main dancers in the team, and Yingzhi was not convinced: "When it comes to dancing, I think I'm better."

Xiao Yu replied: "Well, I don't think I'm any different."

Xia Xinglang looked at Che Zaixun, who was really confused: "Why are you looking at me? Even though I'm positioned as the main dancer, forget it."

"Go on stage."

Kim Seung-hyuk led the crowd onto the stage. They stood in separate positions, along with their fellow dancers. Everything was the same as in the rehearsal, and the lights fell on Xia Xinglang.

As the brass accompaniment of the intro sounded, the glitter and diamonds on the white suit jacket were very eye-catching under the lights, but Xia Xinglang's face was even more eye-catching. Among the group of dancers in uniform black suits, the more than ten seconds of solo dance passed quickly. He had to catch everyone's attention with the smoothness and continuity of his movements and the strength of his kicks.

The solo dance ended, and the next one was Yin Donghao, still wearing a glittering diamond jacket. The white among the black dancers was the most eye-catching.

Everyone was doing well until Xiao Yu, who surpassed Xia Xinglang's imagination, and even when he checked the status window, he could see obvious changes.

【Name: Xiao Yu

Singing: A+ (B+)

Dance: S+ (A+)

Appearance: S (A)

Talent: B+ (C+)

All states have been raised to a higher level, becoming extremely powerful and even invincible.

Xiao Yu was full of energy, hugging his arms and shrugging his shoulders. The professional dancers who accompanied him looked inferior in comparison because he did not make a single unnecessary movement in more than ten seconds.

You can really feel that the whole person is glowing, and the vitality that Xiao Yu exudes from his dance infects Xia Xinglang, and even standing on the stage at a close distance, he can still be fascinated. This degree can be regarded as a failure on his part, because he feels from the bottom of his heart that this stage is very good, and the straight shot will definitely earn millions.

The stage was all microphoned! It was his turn to sing.

"...lead me to an endless dream," his voice wasn't loud enough and his breath control wasn't stable enough. Xia Xinglang felt that his room for improvement was gradually shrinking, but it was already good enough to be able to sing like this.

With the movement of shrugging shoulders and sliding steps, Yin Donghao leaned against his back, the sound came through clearly, their wrists overlapped, Xia Xinglang could feel the body temperature under his gloves, the glittering powder on the stage, the two smiled at each other when they separated, and quickly changed formation, giving the center to Huashanyuan Yingzhi.

Yingzhi's stage presence is very stable, but due to his strong self-esteem as the main dancer, his condition is also surprisingly good. Everyone is competing with each other, like in a dance battle, this feeling makes people's blood boil, everyone wants to shine in the center, that's it, this is the stage he wants!

The second verse of the song in which Hong Zhanglin and Che Zaixun interacted was similarly infected by a certain atmosphere. Hong Zhanglin's special boyish voice smoothly burst into high notes, coupled with his slightly frowning expression due to pride, gave Xia Xinglang goose bumps all over his body.

Xiao Yu's bonus state did not end. Entering the rap, Kim Seung Hyuk controlled it very well, and it ended perfectly. Then the members took off their shirts, white skin-friendly silk shirts, and the music changed from slowly leading to leading. The second single "Solar Eclipse" had everyone kneeling on one knee.

[Enter a special team spirit bonus state! In this state, the song compatibility and dance compatibility increase! ]

There was no time to worry about the system. Xia Xinglang now really began to enjoy the stage. When changing the formation, he felt that everyone's movements were surprisingly neat. What a beautiful sword dance. It turned out that the movements choreographed by the choreographer were so beautiful...

Even the sliding steps and turning were in sync. It felt so good, so good that he didn't want the performance to end.

The seven minutes were over faster than expected. Everyone formed up for the end, streamers fluttered down, and seven people simultaneously turned sideways and made the "J" sign to the audience, because the team name Jup1ter starts with "J".

The cheers that broke out were louder than expected.

From leaving the backstage to sitting down in the artist audience, the seven people were still somewhat immersed in the performance just now. Xia Xinglang was wearing a suit jacket and took a sip of water. Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, he also looked like he had not withdrawn from the stage: "How is it."

"Very good," Xiao Yu breathed slightly, "It's the best performance so far."

“I also think it’s the best stage.”

"Me too." "I can dance a little longer." "My whole body is hot."

They all held the same opinion that this stage gave them a very special feeling, especially the neat sword dance of the group. The movements were synchronized, the amplitude was the same, and they were even in tune with each other. The feeling of being fully immersed in the stage was really fascinating.
