In the second game, only one person will be eliminated, and twenty people will enter the next game. Compared with the first preliminary round, this match was carefully rehearsed and prepared by the players, and the costumes, props and stage effects were all considered, so the performance will definitely be much better.
When appearing on the stage, all the players have to come on stage, and then take turns to perform in the order of the previous draw. Wen Jianing is in the back of the comparison, and his position on the stage is relatively remote. Unless you go to see it deliberately, there will be no Many people noticed him one by one.
However, he hesitated to accumulate a lot of popularity in the first preliminary match. From time to time, the corner of Wen Jianing would be taken by the camera, and he did not dare to look too relaxed.
Today, Wen Jianing's performance for himself has a bit of a stage play flavor. This is also the opinion of the music consultant teacher invited by the TV station during rehearsal, because if he only sings, his advantage is really not big. The teacher said that since it is a show, it is not only necessary to listen to the sound, but to comprehensively consider the effects of all aspects. There will always be different considerations for various types of singers, and this game will be good.
Wen Jianing chose a song called "Puppets". In the process of singing, he played a soulless marionette from beginning to end, until he finally broke free of the thin thread that bound his body, and his soul was liberated at the same time. , and paid the price of his life.
In the process of rehearsal, even the teacher who performed his performance admired him beyond words, saying that it was a very wonderful performance.
Wen Jianing's performance order is 19th, the recording has been going on for a long time, and everyone is a little tired.
The lights on the stage dimmed all of a sudden, Wen Jianing stood at the corner of the stage, and slowly made the first sound as the music sounded. The first half of the song has always been about watching the world through the eyes of a puppet. People come and go in the circus, but he is always a stereotyped soul held by others. When singing, Wen Jianing was expressionless, but his flat voice was full of yearning for the unknown world. His eyes were always empty, but if he looked closely, he would find that he was looking into the distance.
At the climax of the song, the moment he tried to break free from the bondage, his emotions suddenly became excited, and his eyes became firm. Even though he knew that death might follow, he still chose to get rid of the rope that bound his body. , In the end, the puppet fell to the ground and lost his life, but with a smile in his eyes, he ended his life happily and happily.
The light that hit him dimmed, and applause began to erupt from the scene.
Wen Jianing was a little out of breath, because he was too devoted to the performance. He stood up in the dark, calmed down, and then stood there waiting for the host.
The order of comments started with Xu Rujing, she hesitated for a moment and said, "I can only say that it is a very good performance. To be honest, I also like your performance very much, but there are too many things in your performance, which distract me from my feelings. Attention to your singing."
Wang Mei, as always, praises more than criticizes. Over time, everyone will find that this may have something to do with her character, but it doesn't mean how much she likes this player's songs.
When it was Lu Jinlang's turn, he suddenly asked, "Can you dance?"
Wen Jianing took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of dance did Teacher Lu say?"
The host interjected: "Do you mean you can still dance a lot?"
Wen Jianing said, "I know a little jazz."
Lu Jinlang nodded, "Let's dance next time."
Lu Jinlang didn't say anything after that.
In the second game, Wen Jianing still made the cut. Compared with this preliminary game, his promotion this time did not cause so much controversy. The performance of the song was indeed wonderful, although the whole song was not called it. What difficulty, but at least he sang without obvious mistakes. Compared with the few people who were eliminated, Wen Jianing still played well.
At the end of the game, when we went back to the backstage, everyone hurriedly changed their clothes and prepared to leave and go back to rest. When there were many people in the locker room, Wen Jianing never crowded. He sat quietly for a while by himself. When everyone's clothes were almost changed, they packed up and left, and then he took his clothes and walked towards the locker room.
Wen Jianing came out after changing his clothes, and all the contestants in the dressing room left, leaving only the cleaners to start cleaning.
He picked up his bag and walked outside. When he got to the elevator, he saw that the door of a descending elevator was closing. He quickened two steps and rushed over to hold down the elevator door. Opening slowly, Wen Jianing immediately saw Lu Jinlang, Xu Rujing, and An Yongkang. Among the four big-name judges, only Wang Mei was missing.
At this time, those who are a little more sensible will probably withdraw and let them go down first, and of course there will be people who happily squeeze in and want to have a few words with them.
Wen Jianing was naturally the former. He took a step back after a moment's surprise, and said, "Please ask first."
However, Lu Jinlang kept pressing the elevator, waiting for him to come in.
Xu Rujing smiled and said, "Come in, it's okay."
Wen Jianing wanted to refuse, but Song Dong, Lu Jinlang's agent, said, "Hurry up, they're waiting for you."
He was embarrassed to refuse again and stepped in.
In the elevator, Lu Jinlang, Xu Rujing, and An Yongkang were originally standing at the front. Of course, Wen Jianing couldn't stand next to Xu Rujing, so he could only stand in front of Lu Jinlang.
They were very close together, Wen Jianing turned his back to Lu Jinlang, but he could even feel Lu Jinlang's breath lightly patted on the back of his neck. He had never tried to be so uncomfortable, but there was no room to move deliberately.
Fortunately, Xu Rujing told him a word and asked him, "How do you feel about being promoted today?"
Wen Jianing quickly and politely replied: "I'm very happy, thank you teachers."
Xu Rujing smiled and said, "Everyone on the Internet says that it was Lu Jinlang's fault for your promotion. Shouldn't you show some gratitude?"
Wen Jianing knew that Xu Rujing was joking, and it was a harmless joke. If he was really a junior who had just entered the entertainment industry, he would probably be very grateful for Xu Rujing's joke, at least to have some relationship with Lu Jinlang. But now he doesn't like the joke at all.
He could only turn his head slightly, without even looking at Lu Jinlang's face, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, I hope that one day my singing will be truly recognized by all the teachers."
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinlang said, "That's it?"
Even when Wen Jianing was stunned, he turned his head to look at Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang was half a head taller than him. At this time, he lowered his head slightly and was looking at him, with no special emotion in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Rujing suddenly laughed, "Did you hear that, Mr. Lu said enough."
Wen Jianing didn't know what to say for a while, but after a brief hesitation, the elevator had reached the first floor.
As the elevator door opened, Wen Jianing hurriedly walked out first, and Lu Jinlang and the others quickly got out of the elevator and walked towards the door. No one paid attention to him anymore. These people were talking while walking. Wen Jianing guessed that they were going to have supper together.
He exhaled a long breath, pulled the backpack strap, and waited for these people to leave before walking outside the door to take a taxi.
Later, when Wen Jianing remembered Lu Jinlang's "that's it", he still didn't understand whether Lu Jinlang was joking or if he really felt that his way of expressing gratitude was not enough, but no matter what it was, Wen Jianing could be sure that Lu Jinlang was indeed at that time. It was deliberately giving him Liaoyuan a promotion spot, rather than recognizing his singing. As for the reason, Wen Jianing couldn't figure out the reason. He found that he knew too little about Lu Jinlang.
After the top 20 places were selected, the TV station interviewed each player individually, and negotiated the signing of the contract with the acting agency that cooperated with the TV station on the STS program.
This is the unspoken rule of talent shows all the time. If you don't sign a contract, you may be eliminated in the next game. Wen Jianing knows it. He didn't hesitate to sign the contract, it's just that he had never heard of this brokerage company called Lixing before. It seemed to be a new company, but judging from their attitude and handwriting in investing in the STS show, maybe the backstage was not a big deal. Small.
Wen Jianing chose to sign the contract, and he has no other choice for the time being.
Moreover, Leixing Company has also expressed enough interest in him, and hope that everyone can cooperate well in the future.
After signing the contract, preparations for the next round of competition were intensively prepared. Five people were eliminated in the previous game, and now there are still twenty people left. The program team announced that the next competition will be divided into ten groups, with two people in each group, for binding. In the competition, half of the people will be eliminated, that is to say, if this group is eliminated, then two people will be eliminated at the same time.
The grouping is decided by lottery. From the lottery to the rehearsal to the competition, the whole process will be followed and filmed. Whether the two people have differences, disagreements, or something else, they will be broadcast in the next program.
"It's not fair!" someone said. "If people in my group perform poorly, am I being dragged down?"
The chief director of the show said, "Who told you that the world is fair?"
After that, the lottery ceremony began, and more than a dozen cameras were set up next to them, trying to capture every interesting expression.
The serial number of the lottery is divided into ten groups, and each group has two places AB, that is to say, 1A and 1B are one group and so on.
Wen Jianing guessed that no one wanted to team up with him, and some people's expressions might look good later. He drew first, got 5B, then stood by and waited.
After a while, Yi Nan squeezed the lottery in his hand into a ball. Although he also tried to restrain his expression, it was obviously not successful. Wen Jianing heard the host announce that the order of Yi Nan's drawing was 5A.
Wen Jianing laughed suddenly, raised his hand and waved to Yi Nan, but Yi Nan ignored him.
All this was captured on camera.
