Bai Xingchen shook his head without thinking, "NO! You can't violate the rules, what do you want to do with your phone?"
Xu Zifan lowered his head and said, "I haven't told my mother that I participated in the competition. I want her to watch TV."
Bai Xingchen was silent for a while and asked, "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple." Xu Zifan raised his head to meet her gaze, very sincere.
Bai Xingchen hesitated for a while, and handed him the phone, "Just this time, keep your story short, don't get caught."
Xu Zifan made an OK gesture, took the phone and walked to the inner corner. During the walk, he quickly took a look at the competition rankings on the Internet. He was first with more than 2.8 million votes, Pan Yu was second, only about 10,000 votes less than him, and Li Keyang was third, with 70,000 to 80,000 votes less than him. Xu Zifan cleaned the traces of the Internet and called his mother.
The third episode was about to be recorded, and he just wanted to know the audience's reaction. Although he has designed a lot of points that are easy for the audience to like, but this kind of thing is uncertain. If the audience just doesn't like the fat man as an idol, he has to change his strategy. Fortunately, the audience's reaction was in line with his expectations, and he can keep it going.
The call was quickly connected, and there was a loud voice from Mother Xu, "Hello? Who is it?"
Xu Zifan smiled and said, "Mom, it's me, what are you doing?"
"Zifan? I'm preparing dinner in the cafeteria! Wait a moment." Mother Xu quickly walked to a quiet place, her voice returned to normal, and asked with concern, "Zifan, why do you use someone else's mobile phone to make a call? Woolen cloth?"
"Mom, I participated in a singing competition. All the contestants have closed training. I'm using someone else's phone to tell you. I'm worried that you won't be able to find me."
"Closed? What game is still closed? You won't lie, right? Where are you closed?"
"It's in a small county town next to Beijing, don't worry, Mom, it's not a lie, the first two episodes have been recorded and broadcast. You go home and look for it on TV. It's called "Idol Birth". , don't be frightened."
"It's on TV?! Really? Then I'll watch it when I go back in the evening, eh, you're still on TV. It's good that you've gained weight. You're too thin. By the way, how long are you playing? You don't have any money. Right? I'll call you over there."
"No, Mom, I still have money to record this game. Don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself. When I become a big star, I earn a lot of money to take you over to live in a big house and live a good life."
Mother Xu laughed a few times and said softly: "Okay, wait, Mom, don't worry, you are not in a hurry to make money, don't be tired. Celebrities are not so easy to be like, if you don't have a good time outside, come back, Small cities earn less and the pace of life is slow, so Mom is satisfied as long as she sees you doing well."
"Well, good." Xu Zifan heard that someone asked Xu's mother to cook, and said quickly, "Mom, go and do it, the program team will arrange to call the family in a few days, and I will call you again. Usually you want to I watch TV every Saturday night at 8 o'clock."
"Hey, okay, hang up, come on!"
"OK Bye Bye."
Xu Zifan hung up the phone, his mood was somewhat affected by the original owner's memory, and it was a little uncomfortable to think of his mother who worked hard in the high school cafeteria. Mother Xu has always been very open-minded and supports her son in everything she does, but she came from the countryside and has only a junior high school education. The school cafeteria job is 3,000 yuan a month, which is not bad in a small city, but it is also very tiring. Mother Xu often has wrist pains.
Xu Zifan adjusted his mood, walked over and returned the phone to Bai Xingchen. After this program is finished, he can go out to make money, and it won't take long for him to take his mother over.
Bai Xingchen's cell phone was very loud, so she basically heard the conversation between their mother and son just now. She didn't expect Xu Zifan, the calm emperor, to be like this when facing his mother. He was very obedient, sensible, and filial. She thought about it and said, "You are very popular, work hard, and as long as you make your official debut, your mother's dream of living a good life can be realized."
Xu Zifan nodded, "Thank you, Teacher Bai."
Xu Zifan glanced at Bai Xingchen's overly gorgeous appearance, thought for a moment, and reminded: "Mr. Bai, many things in the entertainment industry are smoky, it is hard to tell whether the gossip news is true or false, and it is difficult to wash off the black material. I think if you have something Thinking, you must be cautious, don't be splashed with dirty water."
Bai Xingchen glanced at him in surprise and smiled: "Okay, don't worry, I've been out for eight years, so I can still handle this kind of thing." She looked at the time, "Are you going to eat? I too I’m leaving, I’ll come back tomorrow to give you a class, cheer up!”
"I will." Xu Zifan watched her go first, and danced in the practice room for half an hour before leaving.
In the third phase of the recording, everyone was divided into 14 groups for PK. Two of the players withdrew from the competition, which happened to be a group of seven. There are only seven songs in total, selected by last performance, highlighting the importance of each performance. Xu Zifan was selected as the C position of the theme song last time. Not only can he choose songs and teammates first, but he can also choose players who will PK with him.
Xu Zifan chose Li Keyang and Xiao Cheng, who were familiar with him, Liang Sijie, who was promoted from Class F to Class A, who worked very hard, and two from Class B and one from Class C. They were all good players with a serious attitude and willingness to work hard. . And those who are good at dancing, RAP, and singing are all included. The other players looked at him enviously. This was the privilege of the first place, and they had the advantage in the competition. At this moment, everyone had a strong desire to win or lose.
After all the players were sorted into teams, when Xu Zifan wanted to choose a PK target, all the players were very nervous, especially the F class. The persimmons were softly pinched, and Class F felt like a gift at this stage. Bai Yuchen smiled and asked: "Xu Zifan, have you thought about it? The player you want to fight on stage is..."
Xu Zifan raised his chin at Pan Yu and said with a smile, "It must be Pan Yu! I didn't choose Pan Yu's first team just to have a good PK with him on stage. Speaking of which we have known each other for so long, we have never been like this. If you compare it, if you miss this opportunity, you won’t have it, you must compare it once.”
There was an uproar in the audience, and the two good brothers were actually going to confront each other? Wouldn't the losing side be disadvantaged? Even Pan Yu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately became excited and said with a smile, "Okay, let's compete." Of course he was happy to finally have the chance to defeat Xu Zifan.
Pan Yu had just selected the remaining three members of Class A, and the three strongest members of Class B. It seems that his team is stronger than Xu Zifan's team. Many people don't understand why Xu Zifan chose this way. It's too easy to lose. However, it is good for these two teams to compete against each other. During the game, all the winning teams will each get 10,000 votes, and the losing team will not. .
After group practice, you need to choose C position and captain. Xu Zifan and his group are not controversial. Although they want to compete for the C position, this time the opponent is very strong and they are more cautious. Xu Zifan is very attractive on the stage, and it is more secure to let Xu Zifan be the C position this time. Li Keyang has a stable personality and is more careful. Everyone chose him as the captain, and he arranged the tasks of several people.
The song chosen by Xu Zifan is a very hot song, it belongs to the kind of thump thump tune, and the dance video makes one's blood boil. Li Keyang first asked the dancers who were good at dancing to break down the dance moves and taught them to everyone, and then asked the players who were good at singing to mark every point in the song that needed attention. The vibrato was still paused, and he taught everyone these details. Others memorized the lyrics first, and then began to learn from the two contestants.
Li Keyang was very efficient, and Xu Zifan cooperated especially, which made the other people act nervously subconsciously, as if they were working hard. After this competition, the 56th and later players will be eliminated according to the ranking. After Xu Zifan encouraged everyone to say that they would definitely win, the whole team was full of fighting spirit, and they didn’t want to be eliminated!
One day later, when the instructor came to help them, their team turned out to be the only team that remembered the lyrics completely and did not sing it wrong. Many teams sang two sentences, some people forgot the words, some people were out of tune, and some people didn’t remember the dance moves. In some teams, there was only one lead singer and no sub-lead singer, which made the home court voice a little hoarse, and the distribution was particularly uneven. In this case, Xu Zifan and his team made the tutors very satisfied, both in terms of the atmosphere and the progress of their studies.
The instructor gave them some trouble-prone points for them to pay attention to. Several teachers have rich experience in singing and dancing. After their guidance, the team's performance is really better. Xu Zifan and the others practiced harder, and they would practice in the open space when they returned to the dormitory. They were under pressure and absolutely could not lose.
Compared to them, it was Pan Yu's team that didn't perform well enough. He chose the best people to make the team stronger, but at the same time, these people also had their own arrogance and didn't like Pan Yu that much. At the beginning of the selection of the C position and the captain, there was a little unpleasantness. Later, everyone performed a performance. Seven people in the team voted, and Pan Yucai won the C position with a charismatic performance. Afterwards, the captain asked them to memorize the lyrics and dance moves, but because of the high level, the captain was embarrassed to press too hard, so when the mentors came, they were not ready, so don't criticize Bai Yuchen.
The instructor commenting on the contestants of this show is also a highlight, such as the incompatibility of RAP with the voice, the lack of control of the lead singer, the unsteady feeling of the C position, the eyes are too floating, the treble is unstable, the dancing is not aura, and so on. The fact that the players are not convinced is also a major point of view. There is a player who is very good at RAP and is very dissatisfied that he has no chance to show himself, saying that he is not a singer, but a RAP singer. As a result, I was criticized by my tutor who wanted to sing the part I liked, and I had to get the qualification to go on stage first.
After a week of intense practice, I finally started to perform on stage. The winner or loser this time will be decided by a thousand fans who came to the scene to vote, which fully highlights the characteristics that this boy group is jointly built by the whole people. , just vote for whom, this interesting concept has attracted more and more audiences to participate in the voting.
Before going on the court, Xu Zifan found an opportunity to say to Pan Yu alone, "Pan Yu, who are you?"
