The third stage of "Stars Shine" officially began. The director team arranged for the contestants to record the grouping process of the third performance in a large room.
As one of the top six most popular players, Ji Zeyu and several others were called to the center of the venue and stood in a row.
Chen He took the microphone and said: "Next, we will announce the partners selected by the members of the fmw boy group. The way of announcement is to make an on-site phone call."
When everyone heard this, they immediately exclaimed.
"Shall I speak to the seniors directly?"
"It's so exciting. I don't know who they will choose."
"I really like Zhou Cheng's, and I hope to be paired with the C position he chose."
The director team arranged a phone call session to make the program more interesting. Soon, the call was dialed, and the voice rang through the loudspeaker throughout the classroom.

"Hello contestants of "Stars Shine", we are the fmw boy group, and we are looking forward to cooperating with you!" The six uniform voices showed their tacit understanding, and the voices revealed the unique youthful feeling of the boy group. .
Everyone looked expectantly, waiting for their chosen teammates to be announced.
The six people in fmw are all popular idols, and the most popular among them is of course the captain Zhou Cheng, so everyone hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with him.
In the original work, the person Zhou Cheng chose was a member of the protagonist group. He completed a very good stage and also added a lot of favorability to the protagonist. It can be said that he is a very powerful character.
As a cannon fodder male supporting actor, Ji Zeyu naturally did not dare to expect Zhou Cheng to choose him. The remaining five teammates were all about the same popularity, so he felt the same no matter who he worked with.
The members of fmw took turns announcing their chosen partners on the phone.
"I am Ling Chengjie, and I have chosen a contestant who is very good at singing and dancing, Lu Nanyun."
"I am Xie Zhuoyu, and I have chosen a player with great stage charisma. He is Xiao Huai!"
"I am Gu Xinyuan, and I have chosen Wei Yichen, who sings steadily and dances passionately."
The order of the announcement was random. As the names of Gu Weicheng and Feng Yan were read out, the only person left was Ji Zeyu.
At this time, a cold voice sounded.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Cheng, and my choice is Ji Zeyu."
Zhou Cheng's words were very simple, as if he didn't want to say a word more, which was very consistent with his title of "the cold-faced devil" and also verified his character of not liking business.
When Ji Zeyu heard this, his eyes widened - Zhou Cheng chose him? !
The players present all looked at Ji Zeyu with envy. After all, Zhou Cheng represents the highest popularity of fmw.
After announcing the cooperation partners, fmw hung up the phone, and Chen He said to everyone: "Now everyone knows the six C-position partners, and then you can choose the C-position from high to low according to the ranking."
As a result, Ji Zeyu became very popular, and almost everyone's first choice was him.
Bai Shengjie chose Ji Zeyu without hesitation, trotted all the way behind Ji Zeyu, and whispered to him: "Captain, captain, long time no see."
"We are really destined." Ji Zeyu said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"If I'm paired with you, I'm sure to win again this time." Bai Shengjie said with admiring eyes, "Captain goes for the duck."
Bai Shengjie would praise Ji Zeyu every chance he got, even in private. He was called "Yu Chui" by everyone, and he didn't charge for it.
Since the first performance, the program team has produced two qualified "Yu Chui", one is Bai Shengjie and the other is Wan Long. They are often ridiculed as the navy sent by Ji Zeyu.
But Bai Shengjie knew that Ji Zeyu was far more powerful than he praised.
Qi Aodong sat in his seat and kept staring in Ji Zeyu's direction. His stern expression softened a little only after he was sure that he could choose to be in the same group as Ji Zeyu.
When it was Qi Aodong's turn to choose his teammates, he hid the emotions in his eyes, pursed his lips and stood up, walking towards Ji Zeyu calmly and firmly.
Ji Zeyu's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Aodong Aodong, come here quickly." He liked the feeling of being teammates with Qi Aodong, not only because Qi Aodong was strong, but also because he was worry-free and listened to the captain's words.
The corners of Qi Aodong's lips could no longer be suppressed and curved upward. Then he walked behind Ji Zeyu and greeted Bai Shengjie: "What a coincidence."
The three of them were in the same group in the first round, and now they are in the same group again, which is a good thing.
Bai Shengjie happily spoke a few words to Qi Aodong. After speaking, he suddenly realized that he, who was originally standing behind Ji Zeyu, had been squeezed to the back.
Qi Aodong took advantage of the moment of speaking to occupy the position that originally belonged to him without leaving any trace.
Bai Shengjie scratched his head in confusion. How was he able to cut in the queue without anyone noticing
Not far away, Lu Nanyun's eyes fell on Qi Aodong and Ji Zeyu, his thin lips pursed tightly, and for the first time he was troubled by his ranking being too high. After all, it is basically impossible for the top-ranked players to be in the same group. The program team will consider the popularity balance of each group.
After the selection, the program team announced the performance repertoire of each group, which were all original songs produced by specially invited gold medal composers in the circle. Each song has a unique style.
Ji Zeyu's song is called "King". The intro is a gorgeous piano style. The following songs are full of rhythm and the arrangement is also very creative. It combines medieval classical style with modern dance music style, with different styles. Different yet complementary.
In the fan song selection voting, Ji Zeyu's fans chose this song for him because his reverse stage in the last round brought a big surprise, so fans hope that he can bring more impact Powerful stage performance.
When Ji Zeyu heard this song, he was still very satisfied. He had to sigh in his heart that the people who understand him best are his fans.
"It suits you very well." Qi Aodong stood behind Ji Zeyu and commented after listening to the demo.
Ji Zeyu nodded and turned to look at him: "It suits you very well too. The dance and rap parts are both cool."
However, although the members of Ji Zeyu's group were also satisfied with the song, they encountered problems when segmenting the lyrics in the practice room.
As the captain, Ji Zeyu tries his best to meet the requirements of his teammates for participles. But everyone’s abilities and styles are different, so it’s difficult to satisfy everyone.
After listening to Ji Zeyu's arrangement, teammate Gu Rui frowned and said: "Captain, I think there is something wrong with this participle." He was the eleventh in the previous stage, just stuck at the end of the debut position, and he was relatively strong. , looks okay.
It is normal to have differences. Ji Zeyu looked at Gu Rui and asked gently: "What's the problem?"
"I think the part you gave me is not suitable for me." Gu Rui looked at the lyrics in his hand and said slowly, "I want to change it to another part."
"Okay." Ji Zeyu nodded and said, "Just tell me."
Gu Rui took the pen and checked out a few parts. Then he looked up at Ji Zeyu and said, "I want these parts."
Ji Zeyu looked at the words he checked and was stunned for a moment.
What Gu Rui chose was all the part originally assigned to Ji Zeyu.
Although Ji Zeyu has no obsession with participles, he always feels that choosing lyrics that suits him is a wise choice, but Gu Rui's behavior seems to be a little more provocative and hostile.
He didn't even know the reason for this hostility.
Qi Aodong on the side suddenly said in a cold voice: "It won't be good for other teammates if we change so much."
Gu Rui did not look at Qi Aodong, but stared at Ji Zeyu, and said slowly: "Captain, I think these lyrics suit me very well, what do you think."
Gu Rui's character is that of a strong person, even a little pretentious. He has a very good relationship with Tang Zhen, and also has friendship with Feng Yan. Ji Zeyu compared Tang Zhen and Feng Yan in the first two performances, and his ranking rose significantly as a result. Gu Rui has always been unconvinced by this.
In Gu Rui's view, Ji Zeyu must have occupied all the cadenzas of the performance. Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly in the rankings and won the first place in likes twice in a row
Therefore, after Gu Rui and Ji Zeyu were in the same group, they secretly decided to let Ji Zeyu "reveal his true colors" and avenge his friends Tang Zhen and Feng Yan.
"Do you think it's suitable for you?" Ji Zeyu looked at the lyrics and asked slowly, "Or...are you confident to complete it?"
"If the captain can do it, then I can do it too." Gu Rui looked at Ji Zeyu confidently and said, "Isn't the captain willing to give me this opportunity?"
Ji Zeyu ignored Gu Rui, raised his eyes and asked other teammates: "Do the others have any questions? If so, let's talk about it together."
Bai Shengjie and others all shook their heads, Qi Aodong said calmly: "We have no problem, the word segmentation is very reasonable."
Qi Aodong's simple words conveyed a message: Gu Rui alone has many things to do.
Gu Rui did not understand the meaning and continued: "In that case, it will be easier. Just adjust the lyrics of the two of us." It is said to be an adjustment, but in fact it is to completely steal Ji Zeyu's participles.
He raised the corners of his lips, convinced that Ji Zeyu would be furious. After all, the best part had been taken away, and he would no longer be able to perform brilliantly.
Ji Zeyu was not angry because of Gu Rui's actions, but felt that he was a little baffled. The lyrics that Gu Rui wanted to steal were suitable for contestants with a strong sense of youth. Gu Rui was not too young and his appearance was too tough, so it was not suitable at all.
Ji Zeyu said calmly: "There is no need to adjust so many..."
Gu Rui thought Ji Zeyu wanted to dominate the lyrics and interrupted him: "Captain, you can't have the final say alone, right?"
Ji Zeyu now felt that Gu Rui was simply making trouble unreasonably. He didn't feel angry, he just felt a little ridiculous.
Bai Shengjie couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "Gu Rui, these few words you said, let alone whether they are suitable for the captain, are definitely not suitable for you..."
But Gu Rui insisted on changing it. He firmly believed that as long as he got this part of the lyrics, his ranking would definitely rise and he would get a better debut ranking for himself.
"I'm not satisfied with my ranking," Gu Rui said. "I want the audience to see a better side of me."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Rui's popularity is not comparable to that of Qi Aodong, but his ranking is higher than Qi Aodong's. It's hard to tell whether there is any water in it. But now he has become proud of it, as if all this should belong to him.
"Forget it." Ji Zeyu gave up reasoning with him. After all, some people are unreasonable. "Let's do this. Teacher Zhou Cheng will come later and ask his opinion and let him make the final decision."
Zhou Cheng is everyone's senior and one of the most popular people in the entertainment industry. Hearing this, Gu Rui did not dare to express his dissatisfaction. He nodded and said, "Then let Mr. Zhou Cheng decide."
Gu Rui thought confidently that Zhou Cheng, who was rumored to be a cold-faced devil, would definitely be very fair and impartial and would not be able to give all the best parts to Ji Zeyu alone.
At this moment, the announcement in the practice room rang: "The fmw men's team is about to arrive. Please prepare, players. Repeat..."
All the players immediately cheered up and stood up, ready to welcome the arriving seniors.
After all, Ji Zeyu had met many celebrities in the entertainment industry in his previous life, including many big names and top-notch celebrities, so he behaved much calmer than others.
The moment the door was pushed open, almost everyone held their breath and looked at the door.
The arms pushing the door were slender and white. The person wearing a loose white shirt had a cool and ascetic air the moment he stepped through the door.
Zhou Cheng's hair is a bright brown color, and half of his bangs are lifted up, revealing a clean forehead. He has very fair skin, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, has a pair of narrow, cold eyes, a high and straight nose bridge, and a nice and sexy shape to his thin lips.
"Hello." Zhou Cheng opened his thin lips lightly and his voice was cold and emotionless, as if it was just a routine matter.
It seems very difficult to get along with.
The players originally wanted to warmly welcome Zhou Cheng, but due to his strong iceberg temperament, they could only greet him politely and restrainedly.
Zhou Cheng nodded, without saying too much, and went straight to the topic: "I just listened to the collaborative track. The song "King" is quite difficult. I hope you will take the time to practice it."
He also spoke in a precise manner, and Ji Zeyu felt that he resembled a certain teacher from his middle school days.
After getting the lyrics, Zhou Cheng browsed through the participles. After almost a minute, he frowned slightly and looked up at the crowd: "Who is Gu Rui?"
Gu Rui raised his hand in flattery: "What's wrong with me, teacher?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at the content of the participles, and then at Gu Rui. He turned the pen in his hand with his slender fingers, pointed at a certain paragraph with an expressionless face and said, "Sing this part to me."
Gu Rui cleared his throat and started singing confidently, but not long after, Zhou Cheng shouted stop.
"It's not suitable for you." Zhou Cheng said simply and neatly, "This lyric is very critical. It needs a clearer voice. Your sense of disobedience is too strong."
His cold voice was like a knife, which made Gu Rui at a loss. He blushed and said, "I, I can try it. I want to try a different style..."
"My stage does not allow this kind of attempt." Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Rui coldly and said, "For me, every stage has only one opportunity, and there are only good and bad ones. If you don't find your position correctly, It’s in vain to try.”
Gu Rui suddenly felt like a deflated ball. His original arrogant attitude no longer existed at this moment. He regretted choosing this group. Originally, he was attracted by Zhou Cheng's popularity, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult to get along with.
Ji Zeyu also didn't expect that this young-looking man would speak without any mercy.
The next second, Zhou Cheng turned his gaze to Ji Zeyu and said slowly: "These parts are very suitable for you."
Ji Zeyu was stunned, then raised his eyes to look at Zhou Cheng, and met a pair of narrow eyes hidden under the lenses, showing no trace of emotion.
Ji Zeyu was flattered and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your affirmation." But he was a little confused: He had never sung in front of Zhou Cheng, how did Zhou Cheng know that he was suitable for this part
Zhou Cheng took the pen and swiped it a few times to change the participles that Gu Rui had changed back. Then he raised his eyes and said coldly: "Are there any questions?"
Everyone had to admit that Zhou Cheng's ability and vision were very strong, and they did not dare to raise any objections at this moment. Gu Rui was holding back a feeling of dissatisfaction, and secretly cursed Ji Zeyu in his heart for his good luck.
"If not, start practicing." Zhou Cheng returned the lyrics to them, "Don't be lazy."
Zhou Cheng is indeed the cold-faced devil. The players are under his supervision and do not dare to relax for a second. Those cold eyes were staring at them like this, with no expression on their handsome faces. It was so terrifying.
After training for half an hour, Zhou Cheng densely wrote down the problems they had on a piece of paper and the direction they needed to work on in the future. Every item hit the mark.
"Bai Shengjie, haven't you eaten? Why can't you use your waist?"
"Qi Aodong, don't keep a straight face, fans will be scared away."
"Gu Rui, your foundation is not very solid. It's best not to think about reaching the sky in one step."
After criticizing one after another, Ji Zeyu held his breath, swallowed, and waited for Zhou Cheng's evaluation, feeling rarely nervous.
"Ji Zeyu..." Zhou Cheng slowly walked up to Ji Zeyu, looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice, "Not bad." There was a hint of appreciation in his tone.
If other teammates of the fmw men's team were present, they would definitely be shocked at this moment. You know, they have never heard the words "not bad" from Zhou Cheng's mouth.
Not only were the teammates stunned when they heard this, but even Ji Zeyu was at a loss: "Ah, really, thank you, Teacher Zhou..."
Zhou Cheng stared at those dark amber eyes for a few seconds, then said a faint "Yeah": "Keep up the good work."
Ji Zeyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, the rumored cold-faced devil doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with
After getting familiar with the movements, Zhou Cheng joined the rehearsal team and trained with them.
Everyone has to admit that Zhou Cheng is worthy of being the c-position of the top men's team. Although he does the same moves as everyone else, he has more indescribable beauty and expressiveness than them.
What's even more surprising is that when Zhou Cheng took off his glasses while dancing, his face suddenly gained expression, including a handsome wink, raised eyebrows and raised lips, and every subtle expression carried strong charm.
After dancing, Zhou Cheng immediately returned to his original indifferent expression, as if the smile just now was just everyone's illusion.
Bai Shengjie was in a daze: "This... his face changed too quickly..."
Qi Aodong was also confused: "How could he be smiling one second and so cold-faced the next?"
"Maybe..." Ji Zeyu thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Teacher Zhou Cheng's expression must be charged."
Zhou Cheng heard the people talking and glanced at them without any trace. His eyes stayed on a certain boy for a few seconds, and then he looked away calmly.
In the following training, Zhou Cheng was still very venomous, but his attitude towards Ji Zeyu was different.
The evaluation of others is "very far away", and the evaluation of Ji Zeyu is "very good" and "keep up". The differential treatment attitude makes the teammates doubt life.
The program team called the contestants for a post-interview. The first question of the interview was: What is your impression of Zhou Cheng
Bai Shengjie: "The cold-faced devil is well-deserved. I feel like I'm going to catch a cold."
Gu Rui: "Teacher Zhou Cheng is very direct in his speech, and his views are different from ours."
Qi Aodong: "Very strong and very responsible."
Ji Zeyu: "He will change his face."
The second question is: Are there any unexpected gains while getting along with Zhou Cheng
Everyone else's answers were similar, but Bai Shengjie stood out.
He faced the camera and said in an exaggerated tone: "I really didn't expect that Teacher Zhou Cheng, the cold-faced demon king, is actually a bad guy."
The director team was silent for a long time, a little confused: "Yu Chui?"
"He has been praising Ji Zeyu, even more than I can." Bai Shengjie said in an aggrieved tone, "But when he turns around, he will scold us. I am really shocked. Are Ji Zeyu and I so different?"
The director team looked at him in silence.
Bai Shengjie: "Well, of course, Xiao Ji is still very good..."
Later, when interviewing Zhou Cheng, the director's question was: What is your impression of the contestants
Zhou Cheng replied expressionlessly: "The players are all pretty good, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
The director team thought, this is not bad, at least the bowl of water is level.
"Especially Ji Zeyu," Zhou Cheng continued to say coldly the next second, with a different emotion in his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses, "He is really strong."
Director: ... Is this really a joke
Under the guidance of Zhou Cheng, the rehearsal progress of the "King" group was very fast, and the stage prototype was ready in almost a day. It was the smoothest training for Ji Zeyu.
However, that night, when the contestants were all confident about the progress of the rehearsal, the director team suddenly came to Zhou Cheng and told him something.
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he opened his eyes slightly, nodded calmly, and said to the director: "I understand."
After a while, Zhou Cheng called over the contestants who were practicing dance and said to them: "The director team just discussed it and felt that our group's performance lacked some interactivity and richness, so we are going to add a link for you."
Everyone was stunned.
"Have you all heard of the song "The King"?" Zhou Cheng said as he took out his mobile phone and played the song. The sound of the piano in the prelude came like flowing water. "The director team said that they hope that the piano solo at the beginning will be more interactive." Let one of you do it."
Ji Zeyu has learned piano, but it is only at the entry level. After all, musical instruments are not necessary for a boy band.
It may not be difficult to complete the piano music learning in just four days, after all, the prelude is not that long. But playing the piano is about the integration of the human and the piano, and a performance with empty notes will only lose points.
Ji Zeyu is very self-aware and knows that this is not an easy task, so he gave up this performance opportunity by default.
However, what Ji Zeyu didn't expect was that the other five teammates... didn't even know how to play the piano.
Zhou Cheng was startled for a moment, then turned his attention to Ji Zeyu: "Then I'll leave this section to you, Ji Zeyu."
Ji Zeyu was dumbfounded: "My piano is the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu. There are only four days left before the performance. Teacher Leng, ah, no, Teacher Zhou, I think..."
"I believe you can do it." Teacher Leng looked at Ji Zeyu with a trusting look, "Don't let me down."
Ji Zeyu's heart thumped as he once again felt the deep malice coming from the plot.
