    Chapter 8 "I Think I Expected Wrong"

    Except that Bai Yan's aura of being the first in diligence is a bit weird, the whole performance went very smoothly.

    When the vocal group was waiting, the lights in the audience were on, the instructor seat was empty, the surrounding staff were resting, and the smell in the studio was not very good, like a warehouse with poor ventilation.

    Yuan Yuan surreptitiously turned on the phone, and sure enough, he received a bunch of instructions.

    [Any nickname: Remember to turn on Weibo, the hard-working first. ]

    [Just pick a nickname: forward it to the group for everyone to comment. ]

    [Any nickname: I'll have some milk tea and coffee after a while. I left your mobile phone number and it will be delivered to the scene. You can share it with other members of the support club. ]

    [Any nickname: say hello and let them take care of Bai Yan later. ]

    "Help..." The lights in the studio dimmed, Yuan Yuan only had time to reply with a good answer, and hurriedly hid the phone.

    When he looked up again, the members of the vocal group were already standing on the stage, the overhead lights for lighting were off, and behind the members was a large gray stream-of-consciousness style hand-painted poster, beating frame by frame like a slideshow.

    Bai Yan was standing near the corner, leaning against a prop that looked like a wooden stake, and the name of the song lit up on the big screen, which was from Suiyi's "Grass and Trees".

    The song is very slow, and the part of the chorus of several members is handled very delicately, which sounds long and sad. At the end of the song, Bai Yan, who has no sense of participation, said a short and abrupt goodbye.

    Until the end of the accompaniment, the lights came on unexpectedly, and the audience was still dead silent.

    "Let's applaud and encourage." The host stopped for a few seconds on the steps, but was the first to raise the microphone to break the silence of the scene, "Do you think it sounds good?"

    There was applause accompanied by screaming from the audience, and the host turned to the tutor seat on the right: "What do you think about listening to the teacher."

    Bai Yan was still in the process of self-examination that he had given top priority to diligence. Hearing this, he also looked at the tutor seat. Sui Yi's face seemed to be a little dark, and he looked at himself from a distance.

    The speed of the background music switching was very fast, and it quickly entered the part that don't know why but it was sensational, and a piece of pure music was played slowly.

    Everyone's eyes focused, and Sui Yi seemed to adjust for a while, her face was no longer so bad, she just said coldly: "When you choose this song, I still look forward to it."

    The host cheered in order to boost the atmosphere, and then asked, "Are you satisfied with their performance then, Teacher Sui?"

    "I think my expectations were wrong." Sui Yi looked at the people on the stage, making people feel panic.

    Bai Yan avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience, lowered his head and counted the atmosphere props in the corner of the stage, Yi Shengqing took a half step forward, grabbed Bai Yan's shoulders, and said firmly, "Thank you, tutor" .

    The two fans who were standing stuck to the safety railings complained dissatisfiedly for Yi Shengqing. The words revealed their dissatisfaction with Bai Yan's hindrance, which was fully broadcast by the radio microphone in the audience area.

    Everyone on the stage looked over, Yi Shengqing's eyes seemed a little resentful, he raised the microphone and added: "Although Teacher Sui is not satisfied with our stage, I think our group's performance is great, thank you Every brother who chooses me and believes in me."

    The words fell, and Bai Yan felt that the position of his shoulders against his back was gently patted.

    It wasn't until he left the studio that the cold wind poured into his clothes and Bai Yan's beating heart calmed down a little.

    Sui Yi was completely ruthless to the vocal group. Even though "Grass and Trees" had the highest on-site score, he did not give a single comment. In the end, he just said restrainedly: "I hope you will continue to work hard."

    Bai Yan followed the crowd back to the backstage, where several unnamed players hugged Yi Shengqing as if to express comfort.

    The camera in the hand of the director of the scene and the backstory was on for a long time, and the flash and the microphone for the radio were not stopped every second.

    "Brother Bai." Yi Shengqing called to him, "Are you eating?"

    Bai Yan just relaxed a little bit, and seeing the crowd brought by Yi Shengqing, he said in a tight tone, "I won't eat it."

    Yi Shengqing didn't seem to care much, so he walked directly towards him, his expression as usual: "Then I'll go back with you, they all have to eat."

    Bai Yan was very helpless, but acquiesced to Yi Shengqing and walked out side by side with him.

    There were only twos and threes left outside the cordon, and fans with SLR cameras on their backs shouted, and then a few lenses came in through the iron fence, and the shutter sounded.

    Bai Yan felt a little uncomfortable, and Yi Shengqing continued to walk on the side without any reaction.

    "Brother." Yi Shengqing called him.

    "Ah?" Bai Yan was flustered by his call.

    "Don't take it to your heart." Yi Shengqing thought about it and said it very euphemistically.

    Bai Yan felt that his brain was overloaded recently. After thinking for a long time, he had to ask him, "Why don't you take it to heart?"

    "Follow the teacher's evaluation." Yi Shengqing's tone was sincere, giving Bai Yan the illusion of returning to his middle school days, "He usually speaks softly, but he may have been under too much pressure recently."

    Bai Yan gave a gentle hum.

    Yi Shengqing turned his head and continued: "The day I signed the contract, my teacher mentioned you, saying that you are a very talented person."

    Bai Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth to confirm, "Me?"

    "I thought you were very familiar." Yi Shengqing continued, "When he came out of the director's studio, he told me that you were his classmate, and I even watched your movie."

    Bai Yan didn't react immediately, just paused.

    Yi Shengqing thought he was going to say something, but Bai Yan didn't say anything, so he started the topic: "Brother Bai, why are you here to participate in the competition?"

    "To make money." Bai Yan smiled and finally realized that this was the only question that would not make him feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, "I still have 28 years of mortgage."

    "It's been so long." Yi Shengqing sighed, "My brother in Nanzhu is also talking about getting married and buying a house every day. Everyone has their own plans."

    "Why did you come to participate in the competition?" Bai Yan was amused and asked him, "Still so hard."

    Yi Shengqing turned his head and looked at Bai Yan's soft profile under the bright moonlight, and said, "I have never had any goals, I will do whatever the teacher and Sister Zhen say, and after I do it, I will The fans seem to be very happy, and I am also very happy, if they win the championship, they should be happier."

    The two walked into the dimness covered by the dormitory building, and Bai Yan suddenly felt that Yi Shengqing was different from what he imagined.

    "So I should strive to win the championship." Yi Shengqing's tone was firm.

    "That's good." Bai Yan said nothing, the main entrance of the dormitory appeared in front of him.

    The room full of canopy beds was very messy, with rolled up books and unclean clothes everywhere. Bai Yan dragged his weak body back to his bed and lay down straight.

    At 12:30 in the morning, the bus that took fans to and from the city finally arrived. Yuan Yuan grabbed the cheering stick given by the sponsor and was pushed and shoved into the bus.

    The phone vibrated twice in the palm of the hand through the glove, and Yuan Yuan took one hand and opened it.

    [Any nickname: The theme song single video will be released at noon the day after tomorrow, and the grade will also be announced. ]

    [Any nickname: Remember to ask everyone to post the barrage, and if the playback volume is not enough, send it to the person I pushed you last time. ]

    There was no heating and no lights in the bus, so Yuan Yuan moved her fingers a few times, trying to send her the complicated situation at the scene. It was probably because the temperature of her fingers was too low, so she pressed a few times before opening the dialog box.

    Yuan Yuan thought for a while, and dialed the voice call directly. The prompt sounded twice before hanging up, and a new message followed the refusal prompt.

    [Just pick up a nickname: The family is sleeping, it's not very convenient, you can send me a voice. ]

    "Whatever, I'm sorry." Yuan Yuan took off his gloves, huddled by the window and whispered: "Today, Lao Bai won the first place for diligence. It is said that the first round of elimination can get 3,000 votes."

    The girl sitting in the front row turned her head to look at her, Yuan Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, then took off the other glove and started typing.

    [Yuanyuan: I don’t sing very much today, and I don’t think there are many scenes, and I feel that the tutor is not very satisfied with him, so he didn’t give good words. ]

    [Yuanyuan: What should I do in this situation, whatever? ]

    The input prompt on the screen jumped for a while before Yuan Yuan received a reply from the other party.

    [Any nickname: It's alright. ]

    [Any nickname: Let's watch the show at that time, it's fine. ]

    Yuan Yuan suddenly remembered the unfriendly gaze from the mentor seat when he announced the first diligence, and his thoughts were a little confused, and after thinking for a while, he said something else: "Whatever, if you like Lao Bai so much, you don't come to see the scene. Does he feel a little sorry?"

    After listening to this sentence, the phone seems to become stuck, indicating that the battery is low, and the prompt goes dark.

    Suiyi wrapped a down jacket that exceeded his knees, stood behind him with the promotion of the event, and stomped his feet. He passed Suiyi near the elevator that leads directly to the parking lot, and stepped forward and pressed the elevator.

    It was very warm in the elevator, Sui Yi felt the hot wind hitting her neck, dry and warm, making her a little drowsy.

    "Boss." The propaganda reminded cautiously, "It's here."

    The commercial car covered the elevator entrance tightly, and with Yi stepped forward, he got into the car and collapsed on the back seat as if his body was relieved.

    When I got into the car, I pressed the light on the top of the car, opened the handwritten notebook and started reviewing the book. After reading a few pages, I said, "Boss."

    "Huh?" Sui Yi was a little dazed.

    "I feel that it may be a bit troublesome for Xiaoyi and the others to come out." The propaganda paused, "According to this cut, it is estimated that black fans can scold for half a month."

    Sui Yi rubbed between her brows with two fingers, and scribbled back to her: "It's okay."

    "...That's what I personally think..." Propaganda hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around and boldly continued: "Xiaoyi and the others actually performed very well, although there is no way to compare with you! However, everyone gives Only you did not give the praise, and when you cut it out, it would appear that you were mean and deliberately embarrassed the old classmates."

    Sui Yi glanced at her, and the propaganda immediately shut up.

    After the car was on the elevated road, it was unobstructed, and the propaganda turned back as if determined: "Boss, or ask the director team to delete your evaluation!"

    The weather forecast showed that it has been raining heavily these few days, and the moon and stars outside the car window are bright and clear, and the light inside the car is bright and clear. "

    On the night of the end of the performance, Bai Yan slept very lightly as before. When he woke up in the middle of the night, the howling wind hit the window and the sound was a little scary. He lay flat on the bed, and his head gradually became clearer.

    First, calmly calculated the time until the first round of elimination, and then wondered whether Asi made the payment on time this month, and whether the loan would be in arrears. Finally, remembered that after singing "Grass and Trees", followed Yi's picture. A face with almost no temperature.

    He couldn't remember the lyrics completely, but he only remembered that Sui Yi seemed to say in the song that he wished he was a tree.

    Why a tree? He hadn't figured it out, and he didn't really want to understand.

    Waking up repeatedly all night, Bai Yan got up on time at 9:30 with sore eyes and sore muscles. As soon as he took his toiletries and walked out of the dormitory, he saw a man in a green woolen hat squatting at the door blocking the road .

    Bai Yan looked down at her in disbelief: "You didn't come to me, did you?"

    Gu Dong stood up holding a stack of paper, and his tone was very flattering: "Mr. Bai, you are so early!"

    "What are you doing?" Bai Yan's mind quickly flashed through the hurt that Gu Dong caused him in the script.

    "Let's have a meeting!" Gu Dong's cheeks were freezing red, he stepped forward to grab Bai Yan's arm, and shoved his mobile phone into his cup: "Come on, let's go to the conference room and say ."

    On the phone is a photo of him and Yi Shengqing leaving the studio together yesterday. Two boys in identical down jackets were walking side by side under the street light. Bai Yan stepped on Yi Shengqing's shadow. The picture was very artistic. A few handwritten words were added above, just like a movie poster.

    "What is this?" Bai Yan asked numbly, biting his toothbrush.

    Gu Dong's face flushed some red that did not belong to the sub-zero temperature, and said, "Look at this again."

    Bai Yan watched her swipe a few more times, and pushed the phone in front of him. On the screen was the real-time hot search list, showing that he and Yi Shengqing appeared in the fourth place together: #易盛青白燕story# .

    "What is this?" Bai Yan repeated blankly.

    "Love." Gudong said solemnly, "Just kidding."

    Bai Yan rolled his eyes and said nothing.

    "You two were on a high-profile hot search in the middle of the night last night, so Taili sent me a job in the middle of the night." Gudong adjusted his glasses and began to talk about the business: "Let me change the script for you, try to keep it until the third round, and do more. some topics."

    "Can this be changed at will?" Bai Yan was speechless, "I'll go to the first round as we agreed before."

    "It was before, and now is now!" Gudong urged him anxiously, "And it's good to stay for two more rounds. Later, Mr. Bai, you can talk about acting and business! Wouldn't it be better to make more money then? ?"

    Bai Yan glanced at it, saw the colorfully painted book in her hand, and stopped talking.

    "Mr. Bai, you should have felt love, right?" Gudong asked tentatively, "I am telling you what you will do in the future, you can use what you have felt before to understand what I asked you to do, okay? "

    A dense rain suddenly fell outside the window. Bai Yan turned his head to look at it, and there was no turbulence in his heart. He may have felt love, and that person gave him a bad review yesterday.
