After three performances, the debut night came two weeks later.
The attention on the debut night is extremely high, and the performance should be the climax of the show. It can be seen that the audience and contestants in the talent show know that the performance is just a formality and cannot shake the rankings, so they just pretend to be confused and deal with the past up.
After the performance, the main event begins.
The host came to the stage with the sealed envelope, opened it under the eyes of everyone, and took out the debut list.
Three, four, five are all players who are sure to secure their debut positions, and it is expected that they will be on the debut pyramid.
Listening to the screams and cheers from the audience, the host smiled and took out a card with the name of the second contestant, his expression suddenly stiffened.
He glanced at the program group delicately, and the director and director disappeared in the dark.
The host sighed silently, quickly turned his gaze back, and showed a professional smile to the camera again.
"Second place, drummer, Ji Sheng! Congratulations on your debut!!"
The audience was silent for a few seconds, and surprise replaced cheers.
"Ji Sheng is second?! How could Ji Sheng be second? Doesn't he keep faulting??"
"Then who is number one... Sheng Kongzhi? Although his popularity is not low, he has never been higher than Ji Sheng, right?"
"It could also be Xie Xuanming, his loyal family is very good at fighting."
"Come on, now there are only the first and sixth debut spots left, whether Xie Xuanming can make a debut is still up in the air!"
"No way, Xie Xuanming's family has always been in the top three in raising funds and investing!"
"KUZI's piss, hehe, Ji Sheng can be ranked second in such a big fault, and it's not impossible for Xiao Xie to be voted to continue."
"Damn! No way? KUZI went bankrupt, why is my cp so miserable!"
"..."
The audience kept making noises, but Ji Sheng was quite calm. He smiled at a few waving fans, walked up to the debut pyramid, and picked up the microphone.
"Being able to get the opportunity to debut, I would like to thank my fans, viewers, my mother and the program team. Thank you very much. Without you, I would not be here today..."
After the well-regulated words of thanks, Ji Sheng looked at the audience.
"Finally, I also hope that my friends will have the same luck as me, Lao Sheng and Xiao Xie, I will wait for you up there."
The camera followed his words, Sheng Kongzhi raised his head and smiled at him, while Xie Xuanming raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Immediately after the first place announcement, Sheng Kongzhi took the stage and climbed to the top of the pyramid for the debut position.
Although this result was unexpected, the audience had already been vaccinated when Ji Sheng came second. Among the remaining contestants, Sheng Kongzhi and Xie Xuanming were the only ones who could compete with Ji Sheng in popularity. Floating, relatively speaking, Sheng Kongzhi is more steady and steady, and is indeed the most popular besides Ji Sheng.
But whether it can be higher than Ji Sheng is a matter for the beholder to see the benevolent and the wise.
After the announcement of the first place, there is only the last place left for the Cheng Ensemble.
The host read out a few names, and the players who were called came out one by one.
The last musician to debut will be born among them.
The camera scanned the faces of several contestants one by one. Most of their expressions were nervous and somewhat longing. Only Xie Xuanming, with a calm expression, lowered his eyes and wondered what he was thinking.
The camera paused for a moment in front of this overly calm player, and then turned to the auditorium.
The moderator draws out the card and reads it aloud.
"The last...keyboard player Wang Qi, congratulations on debut!"
The last debut position was announced, and there was an uproar in the audience that was even more intense than when Ji Sheng was announced just now.
Countless spectators roared angrily, and some excited people even shouted "refund" and "make a ticket". Xie Xuanming glanced away and saw a few young girls covering their mouths and crying.
Amidst the uproar, Ji Sheng suddenly got up from his seat.
The last band member had already walked up the stairs, and Xie Xuanming stood still, clapping his hands politely.
He raised his eyes, and unexpectedly met Ji Sheng's shocked and dazed gaze.
Xie Xuanming smiled at him, relieved and restrained. There is a little comfort in the smile, and some regrets that cannot be hidden.
The teenager who voluntarily chose to be out of the capital game raised his eyes to his friend on the pyramid, and said goodbye to him with a silent smile.
As soon as the debut night was over, Ji Sheng didn't stop for a moment, jumped off the stage and rushed backstage.
Before he took two steps, he was stopped by Sheng Kongzhi who was chasing him.
"What are you going to do?"
"Look for the director, find the director!" Ji Sheng strode forward without looking back, "How could it be possible for Xiao Xie not to make his debut, his tickets are definitely enough to make his debut! I'm going to ask for an explanation!"
"Calm down." Sheng Kongzhi stepped forward, grabbed him, turned him over, and said with a frown, "Go now, besides offending the KUZI executives, is there anything else to do?"
"Then what am I going to do?" Ji Sheng staggered to a stop, and shouted at him excitedly, "Do I want to watch Xiao Xie get shady by them and do nothing?"
Sheng Kongzhi gritted his teeth, and suddenly lowered his volume: "Xiao Xie probably didn't want to make his debut."
Ji Sheng was stunned: "What?"
"The resources that KUZI can give are limited. Although Xiao Xie is popular enough, he can only press the line, and his positioning has too many collisions with others. KUZI pointed out to him before that it is impossible to give him too many resources for his debut. He also expressed clear… "
Ji Sheng was at a loss: "Then there's no need to refuse to debut... Did Xiao Xie say he didn't want to debut? Why didn't he tell me?"
Sheng Kongzhi avoided his gaze: "I don't know. But I know that there is a movie script contacting him. Xiao Xie...may have made a choice. After all, Xiao Xie also studied acting in university, and it is true to perform on the big screen. More promising than being in a limited band... ”
Ji Sheng was silent, he felt the blood in his veins cooling down a little bit, and finally said: "But I really want to form a band with him."
Knowing that seeing him so disappointed, Sheng Kong felt uncomfortable. He raised his hand and touched Ji Sheng's head, and said in a low voice: "If there is a chance in the future, we will make Qing Chu a big company. Brother Tan is rich, let him take it Xiao Xie signed it, and we formed an unlimited band."
Ji Sheng was silent and didn't speak again.
After the show ended, the limited band Loptr was formed and started a schedule of continuous running schedule.
Magazine shoots, interviews, variety show recordings, album recordings, music festival performances... Countless workloads are on the team members. Ji Sheng can only sleep three hours a day on average. Keep your eyes peeled and take some time off.
Ji Sheng is not interested in all kinds of publicity in the entertainment circle, but he is a little enthusiastic about performances and recording albums, but these two kinds of itineraries are the least important for KUZI, and the manager doesn't even mention it in a month. Ji Sheng asked a few times , After getting a perfunctory reply, I stopped talking.
As the end of the year was approaching, a trip lifted Ji Sheng's spirits.
charity dinner.
Ji Sheng is still not interested in competing for beauty on the red carpet, what he cares about is the attendance list.
Xie Xuanming will attend.
Xie Xuanming joined the crew as soon as the show came out.
This is the first time Ji Sheng saw him again after "The Sound of Music" ended.
Seats for various dinner parties are always arranged according to popularity and status. Although Loptr is a newcomer, he is in the limelight, and the organizer took it easy and placed them in the second row.
After Ji Sheng sat down, he couldn't stop looking around, and was reminded by Sheng Kongzhi in a low voice to restrain himself, but he craned his neck again after a while, turning corners to look for someone.
The hard work paid off, and after looking around a few times, Ji Sheng finally saw Xie Xuanming in a corner.
Xie Xuanming stood against the wall, watching the false excitement in the room with cold eyes.
He is not well-known, and he has not signed a company. Being invited here is already a face for the organizer.
So when the staff said sorry to him that there was a lack of seats, Xie Xuanming didn't have any thought of being offended, so he nodded and walked to the corner and stood there.
Xie Xuanming leaned against the wall with no thoughts. The filming schedule was not easy. The director's strict requirements made the filming go on late into the night every day, and the action scenes were even more energy-consuming.
Filmed all night yesterday, studied the script today, slept for an hour in the afternoon and rushed to the charity dinner.
Xie Xuanming could hardly keep his eyes open, but he forced his eyelids to look for someone in the arena.
He was trying to find it, when suddenly there was a sound beside him, he turned his head, and the person who had been watching for a long time threw himself into a trap, leaning towards his side.
Xie Xuanming lost all sleepiness at once, stood up straighter, pressed the corners of his lips down, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Come to accompany you." Ji Sheng wrinkled his nose, "Many people talk to me, I don't like it, so I ran out to catch my breath."
"They are all famous people." Xie Xuanming reminded, "In the future, they will all be contacts."
"I don't want to make any connections." Ji Shengman didn't care, "I just need to play drums if I have a place to play."
Xie Xuanming said, "Oh, that's it."
Ji Sheng looked up at him: "Have you grown taller again?"
"I'm twenty." Xie Xuanming was dumbfounded.
"But it feels taller again." Ji Sheng stretched out his hand and gestured, "You don't need to look up like this in the show."
"...I squat down?"
"There are so many people watching, pay attention to your image, thank you actors." Ji Sheng was amused by him, and said with his eyebrows bent.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Xuanming shrugged, "It's fine if you don't mind."
A reporter noticed the two young men standing here and raised his hand to take a few pictures.
The flash was not turned off, and Ji Sheng squinted his eyes. Just as he wanted to cover it, Xie Xuanming raised his hand and hung it in front of his eyes.
"Thank you." Ji Sheng said, suddenly thinking of something, "Recently, you seem to be on the trending searches many times."
"Well." Xie Xuanming said, "It's all not very good content."
There are those who claim to breathe the white mist in winter and spread rumors about smoking, and those who talk to assistants and make rumors about having sex. They even turned into offending bosses when they joined the filming group and were blocked.
In short, it is quite outrageous to look at pictures and talk.
Ji Sheng frowned: "What's going on?"
"KUZI's handwriting." Xie Xuanming said expressionlessly, "I didn't agree to their conditions, and I wasn't used by them, so they stomped on me to death."
"...Is this also the reason why you didn't debut?"
"That's right."
Ji Sheng didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Xie Xuanming thought he would not speak again, he said, "Why didn't you tell me this."
Xie Xuanming didn't reply yet, he said again:
"It's really not human."
"If you tell me, I will retire from the competition, and I will retire on the pyramid on the night of my debut."
Xie Xuanming was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't say anything."
Ji Sheng didn't reply, his eyes were like frozen ice.
Xie Xuanming turned his head, and glimpsed the grotesque Vanity Fair from the ice, the popular people were promoted to the high seat, and the foolish people left the stage sadly.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease.
Fortunately, I didn't say it.
