0713: You who shine in the parallel world

The overall presentation of "Zhang San's Song" was indeed quite lively.

However, due to the large number of people, the audience could not distinguish the positions of the backup dancers and the five artists. That was fine, but during the group dance, the audience could easily find the unevenness of the people on stage. In addition, the live performance was not edited and some people had overly obvious backing tracks, so when the song ended in a lively atmosphere, many casual audience members did not have a deep impression of it.

Of course, their fans were quite happy to watch it. After all, "Zhang San's Song," which was adapted into a musical, had a cheerful tone. The five brothers on stage were all dressed in suits, especially Wei Zheming and Zhang Dongliang, who looked particularly good-looking.

Compared to the first public vote, the voting rules have changed again for the second public vote.

The competition is divided into two halves, with the four tribes competing against each other in pairs. Only after the performances of the two tribes that are competing against each other have ended will the audience vote together. The vote count will not be announced directly; only the winner of the competition will be announced on site.

Therefore, after "Zhang San's Song" ended, Wang Yaoqing and his group of five did not return to the backstage hall, but instead went backstage to wait for their PK team to take the stage.

As for which of the four teams would compete against which one, although the production team had previously pretended to let them choose fairly and openly, the two sides in the duel had actually been arranged by them long ago.

The two red-card tribes, Chen Chusheng's team and Wang Yaoqing's team, as challengers, need to challenge the two seeded tribes, Zhang Yuan's team and Hu Yanbin's team.

The production team couldn't possibly let their two "guaranteed" captains face off directly in a decisive battle. Chen Chusheng and Zhang Yuan, these brothers from 0713, were simply stepping stones and shields thrown out by the production team.

Therefore, the matchups between Wang Yaoqing's team and Zhang Yuan's team, and between Chen Chusheng's team and Hu Yanbin's team, were already decided long ago.

The deliberately targeted red card showdown, the predetermined group PK, and the vote results that will not be announced—the actions taken by the production team so far in the "Two Kilometers" program seem like a script with a pre-written ending.

The only variable in the script is the shining qualities of the older brothers who are destined not to be overlooked.

The production teams of fruit-themed programs are indeed quite controlling. They are willing to abandon their bottom line and integrity for the sake of traffic and capital. However, everything has two sides. Following the lead of capital and traffic can also be considered one of their advantages. After all, if the program's broadcast effect is completely opposite to their expectations and the market tells them that they have bet wrong, they do not mind adjusting their pre-production script on the spot.

However, the show has not aired yet, and their predetermined outcome will not change. They brought up Chen Chusheng's team and Zhang Yuan's team because they originally planned to sacrifice them at the two-kilometer mark. Even if they couldn't be "completely wiped out," at least one of them had to be sacrificed.

Zhang Yuan's team had one strong and one weak stage, but Chen Chusheng's team had two strong stages. Guo Guo looked at the "Performers" stage being set up and her thoughts began to wander.

After watching the rehearsal, she felt it would be better to have the members of 0705 have an internal battle, with Wang Yaoqing and Hu Yanbin facing off. It's only the second performance, and a battle between two pre-selected captains won't have any impact. They'll have more opportunities to adjust later. On the other hand, having Chen Chusheng and Zhang Yuan face off would definitely break up one of the teams.

Unfortunately, Wu Mengzhi didn't think that way. Of course, she also had her own considerations. Currently, the popularity of 0705 is gradually rising, and she has to prevent the two groups from losing their popularity after the show airs. Considering Cai Guoqin's amazing performance in the first performance, if the second performance becomes an internal battle between 0705, I estimate that not many people will want to watch the Wang-Hu showdown next door.

The production team did want to use 0705 as a shield for the fake emperor, but giving too much attention to them and overshadowing others would make the pre-selected candidates unconvincing. In the end, this was a pit that Wang Yaoqing dug himself. If he hadn't encouraged Cai Guoqin to break up 0705 and give them attention in the first performance, he might have been able to avoid Zhang Yuan's team in the second performance.

The four people sitting in the backstage hall were unaware that the production team had already begun to plan how to create challenges for them on the future stage. They were sitting together, chatting and waiting for Zhang Yuan's traditional Chinese style stage performance.

Xu Liang chose Zhang Yuan's song for "X-Song" from the very beginning. As a result, he has put a lot of effort into this stage. He not only privately sought out national-level drama actors to learn opera singing, but also continued to give private lessons to Yu Yu whenever he had free time.

In addition to this, he also had to practice dance moves amidst countless odd jobs, and worry about another stage for their tribe.

After all, unlike Chen Chusheng, who has a hidden big shot, the lazy bum, who can give Chen Chusheng complete peace of mind about their second stage, Zhang Yuan doesn't have a second Yu Yu. As for Cai Guoqin, who has enough experience and strength, he is too kind and unambitious. He can usually help by mentioning a few words in the group to urge others to train, but Zhang Yuan is too embarrassed to ask him to actually take charge.

Therefore, during this period, Zhang Yuan, who was already a living king, appeared in the group even less frequently.

Compared to the others, Yu Yu, who was often pestered by Zhang Yuan for extra lessons, was the person who knew the most about "Lingren" besides the members of their tribe. As the captain of the first time on the Pi Ge program, coupled with Yu Yu's Q God halo, when Zhang Yuan consulted Yu Yu in private, he would subconsciously ask him how the former captain led the team to do stage performances.

Regarding how to be a team leader, Yu Yu felt that Zhang Yuan was more opinionated than himself, and as for stage ideas, he certainly had plenty. Of course, since this was Zhang Yuan's team and also the stage for Zhang Yuan's tribe, how Yu Yu, as a member of another team and a brother of Zhang Yuan, would manage the degree of "meddling" was quite simple for this shrewd person.

Zhang Yuan himself is a very smart person with his own ideas on stage. Originally, he wanted to brainstorm with Yu Yu because the feeling of the stage presentation was not right. After watching their rehearsal clips, Yu Yu simply mentioned, "The three-person stage should have a main and secondary role, but it cannot be too unbalanced. Although the captain has to take responsibility, the captain is not the babysitter of the team members. The team members also have to stand on their own." He immediately realized how to adjust it, which led to the current version of "The Performer".

In the original version, Zhang Yuan was the absolute main force, singing and dancing, and he carried all the opera singing parts by himself. As for his teammates, Ma Xiaolong danced too much and sang too little, and Xu Liang sang too much and danced too little. They were actually in their own comfort zone.

On a regular stage, this wouldn't be a problem, but it's not enough for Pi Ge. That's why Yu Yu never considered using He Zhancheng as a backup dancer during the first performance. As it turns out, he can indeed sing with his own unique style, as long as the right method is found for him.

Unfortunately, ever since He Zhancheng joined Wang Yaoqing's team, Wang Yaoqing has reverted to using him as a backup dancer and behind-the-scenes choreographer.

The revised version of "The Performer" by Zhang Yuan finally presented its most perfect style on the stage of the second public performance.

More than half a month of intensive training in opera singing cannot make Zhang Yuan a top female role actor overnight, but he has already grasped the essence of female roles in his every smile and frown, enough to make people overlook his tall figure, which is not suitable for playing female roles.

After targeted reinforcement of key singing sections, he grasped about 70-80% of the charm of Peking Opera singing. This is a level that many theatrical actors may find difficult to master even after one or two years, and it is also a level that he had not reached in all his previous rehearsals. Yu Yu heard his breakthrough and was very gratified.

Although Xu Liang's dance cannot match Ma Shi's gentleness, he can play to his strengths and cover up his weaknesses by using the movement of his backup dancers. As for Ma Shi, to be honest, Yu Yu thinks he is the most suitable dancer for singing. His control over emotions is not only reflected in his dance, but also in his singing.

The masks that run throughout the stage perfectly embody the dramatic tension within the understated aesthetics of the porcelain kingdom. Zhang Yuan, who plays both female roles and male roles with equal brilliance, is also a "performer" who runs throughout the stage, demonstrating a mature and well-controlled stage presence.

If the production team had been willing to make the stage setup more exquisite, or moved it to the main stage instead of the small stage in the middle, it might have been even more perfect. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan and the production team tried to get this approved many times, but it was not approved.

It's obvious what they're up to.

After the performance, the three returned to the interview area and gave a brief interview to Qi Sijun. Zhang Yuan, as the team leader, first praised all his teammates equally, including those on the other stage, and then suddenly mentioned Yu Yu backstage—

"Fish, look, didn't I do better this time!"

The camera skillfully and quickly cut back to the background.

In the backstage hall, the mixed-race beauty with her black hair neatly combed back and wearing a black and red Western classical robe exuding a sense of asceticism, slightly raised her eyes to look at the camera in the hall, her eyes smiling, her azure eyes carrying a soft light of the mortal world.

There was no sound recording, so the voice couldn't be transmitted from backstage to the front, but everyone present could understand what he was saying with that gentle smile on his lips.

perfect.

He made a heart shape with his hands.

Zhang Yuan was initially happy, until the screams of the audience nearly made the bird's feathers stand on end.

Looking at the suspicious smiles on the faces of a few girls in the row with shining eyes, Zhang Yuan, who had super fast internet speed and knew everything, figured they probably had tens of thousands of words running through their minds right now, from Western priests to Eastern actors to a blend of Chinese and Western literature, but he was a little concerned about which of those tens of thousands of words in their minds was on the left and which was on the right...

Pah! How old are you? Can't you viewers think of something serious?

The sounds from backstage couldn't reach the front, but the backstage could hear the sounds from the front. After the broadcast camera switched back, listening to the overly enthusiastic cheers, Uncle clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Little Fish, you've really made your bad point by being too good-looking. With your outfit today, if you stood next to anyone, even a passing dog would be smitten."

Chen Chusheng asked in confusion, "Kneel? Kneel?"

"? No, it's not 'hahahahaha,' it's not this 'kick,' it's that 'kick'... How do I explain it? Anyway, it's not what I meant." Wang Yuexin didn't know how to explain. She couldn't lead Sheng-ge astray, right?

Yu Yu said, "What do you mean by 'bringing bad luck'? Just bring it on. Your older brother has his own understanding: 'Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is or isn't. Brother, if you and I, Yuexin and I, Haoming and I just stand there, you'll know whether they're hooking up or not. Even if my uncle and I just stand there, some weirdos will find an angle to hook up.'"

"No, no, no, this is inappropriate. You should handle this yourselves, Chopstick Holder." Uncle quickly waved his hand in refusal.
