You're not planning to open at all, are you?

On the day of the performance, there were more audiences than the third performance. Invisibly, the pressure on the contestants also increased.

Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen changed into costumes and styles, sat in the waiting area, and watched the live broadcast of the stage.

The preparatory students who need to participate in the performance are all sitting in the waiting area, so Ji Ruijin and Yan Zhi are sitting not far from Baijiu.

Yan Zhi has been quietly looking at Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen beside him.

Bai Jiu is wearing a black matte slim-fit shirt and black trousers today, and the makeup on his face is heavy, and he even looks a little sick.

And Xia Feichen was even more exaggerated, with smoky makeup on his face, scars on the corners of his eyes and mouth, he seemed to be a very rebellious character.

Ji Ruijin is in a flashy outfit, and Yan Zhi also has a cool look. Sitting together, the two of them are not easy to mess with.

Several contestants were very curious when they saw Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen's appearance, and Xu Zhizhou asked them directly: "What is your theme? Why do you look so weird?"

Bai Jiu grinned at him: "Psycho."

"..." Xu Zhizhou didn't know for a moment whether Bai Jiu was joking or saying it seriously, he raised his eyebrows in doubt, thinking it's better to watch their stage directly.

The host announced the rules of the competition, and only then did the audience know that it was a one-on-one match. They needed to vote on the spot, and the loser was eliminated directly.

At the same time, the program suddenly announced a new competition system: the prep students also have an elimination mechanism, and the prep students who lose in the cooperation stage will be eliminated along with the contestants.

When they heard this rule, Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen were taken aback. The program team had never mentioned this before.

This also means that between Yan Zhi and Xia Feichen today, there must be one person.

While Bai Jiu was surprised, he felt that something was wrong. The program group suddenly announced such a new rule, and he always felt that it was aimed at the preparatory students who had a stage for cooperation this time.

He subconsciously looked at Yan Zhi, Yan Zhi was looking at Xia Feichen, with a smile on his face, as if he was not surprised by such rules at all.

Bai Jiu had to wonder which company was responsible for this so-called new rule, and whom it was targeting.

After all, if Xia Feichen is eliminated, the responsibility must lie directly with Bai Jiu. He picked Xia Feichen to cooperate, and he should be responsible if he loses.

Before Bai Jiu could speak, Xia Feichen could tell from his expression what he wanted to say, and immediately patted Bai Jiu on the shoulder: "Brother Bai, don't worry, as long as I can perform this stage well, even if I am eliminated, I will walk away with a smile." .”

Bai Jiu paused, then nodded: "It's up to people, just do your best."

But his eyes gradually dimmed, and there was impatience and a sneer in his eyes.

Playing tricks on the stage rules that should have been a fair competition, this kind of thing has already challenged his bottom line.

On the other side, Yan Zhi looked at Ji Ruijin pretending to be surprised: "Brother, I have to leave if I lose."

Ji Ruijin smiled confidently: "Don't worry, follow me, you can't lose."

Yan Zhi hurriedly smiled at him: "Brother, I believe in you, our stage must be the best."

The contestants have already started to appear on the stage in the order they had previously decided. Since there are eight different themes and the stage styles are also very diverse, almost every group of contestants will bring surprises to the audience.

When it came to the group of Ji Ruijin and Bai Jiu, the audience's expectations were even raised to the highest.

Ji Ruijin's stage kicked off amidst cheers. The theme of their Rap this time was hope and beauty. Ji Ruijin, uncharacteristically, did not use the usual offensive words and styles, but narrated many stories.

Yan Zhi cooperated with the performance in front of the stage, walked into every story, and acted in very short clips, some even only needed a look.

This is a test of acting skills. Fortunately, Yan Zhi has acting experience. Although sometimes the eye changes can't keep up, and the action occasionally drops, the overall stage is still fully presented, even in the last few shots. Picked up the microphone and sang along.

Ji Ruijin controlled almost the whole stage of Ji Ruijin's stage, and Yan Zhi's last few lines sang, although they sounded a little stiff, but with Ji Ruijin's harmony, they showed a bit of bluffing proficiency.

The audience shook the light sticks throughout the whole process, and even cheered after the end.

While Xia Feichen looked at it, he couldn't help frowning.

Facing the camera, he couldn't speak directly, so he could only pull Bai Jiu, beckon him to come over, and then whispered in his ear: "Brother Bai, their structure...why is it a bit like ours?"

On the stage set by Bai Jiu, he also sang and acted with Xia Feichen, but the two often switched roles, unlike Ji Ruijin who sang by himself throughout the whole process, leaving very little for Yan Zhi.

What's even more strange is that Bai Jiu's stage expresses despair, while Ji Ruijin expresses hope, which seems to be deliberately opposed to him.

In the rehearsal that Bai Jiu heard before, Ji Ruijin's lyrics are not the current version, and the theme is also different.

In this way, after Jirui King Kong brought such a scene, Bai Jiu played again, and the contrast would be too obvious.

Bai Jiu nodded calmly: "Don't worry about them, we will play our part."

The host had already started warming up the scene. Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen got up and walked towards the backstage of the stage.

Ji Jiang was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, and he seemed a little absent-minded throughout the whole process. It was not until he heard Bai Jiu's name that he raised his head seriously for the first time, looking at the darkened stage.

The opening of Bai Jiu's stage this time is somewhat similar to the first stage, and the scene is completely dark, only some light signs are still on.

What's different from last time is that many of the light boards this time have Bai Jiu's name written on them—they came just for him.

The lights gradually turned on, and Bai Jiu, who was dressed in black, sat on the lifting platform with his head down, motionless.

On the big screen behind him, like red ink smeared on the paper, the title of the song slowly unfolded: "Unhealthy".

At this time, the piano solo sounded, accompanied by Xia Feichen's soft recitation, Bai Jiu didn't raise his head, and spoke slowly.

——It is said that the dreams of geniuses are always full of grotesques

——But I just want to go back to the dream and back to the past

— but the time the bell rings it never changes

- so I opened my eyes

—— Facing this repeating day

At this moment, another beam of light was lit on the other side of the stage, and the sickly Xia Feichen was holding a paper airplane with a smile on his face, slowly circling around him, singing as he spun.

——I saw the pointer spinning under my feet bit by bit

——I saw the ferris wheel going backwards and rounds and rounds

——I saw the face of the clown mask gradually merging into one

——I heard you say that today's clouds are like beautiful donuts

The drum beat gradually increased, and the rhythm entered into a remake. The lights around Xia Feichen suddenly went out, and another beam of red light hit Bai Jiu, who was already standing in the middle of the stage.

Bai Jiu looked up with a smile, his smile was very similar to Xia Feichen's, but with a hint of madness inexplicably, his eyes were red, he stared straight at the camera, and quickly sang the next verse of the lyrics.

——But I can only count the needles in a closed room

——I can't tell the difference between the stimulation treatment and how many times in a few days

——They say good children don't get sick, and bad children have to accept their fate!

——Seeing is debilitating, sick and in poor health. Don't believe what you see!

Bai Jiu's speech became faster and faster, and his emotions gradually increased, almost reaching the limit of explosion.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "boom", as if some heavy object fell to the ground suddenly, Xia Feichen suddenly appeared behind Bai Jiu, looked at Bai Jiu gloomily, and put a hand on his shoulder.

This scene came so suddenly that many audiences were frightened, and the audience was almost silent.

In the next second, the rhythm broke out instantly, and the two turned around at the same time, looked at each other, and began to sing the chorus.

——I saw tentacles growing out of their bodies and spreading

—I see the world screaming and urging people to go crazy!

The whole stage was instantly lit up, illuminating the surrounding environment clearly. The audience could clearly see that there were many patients in white clothes walking in a hurry on the stage. Staring at the place that was originally empty, as if there was someone standing there.

Everything seemed weird and bizarre, and many people got goosebumps when they saw it.

But Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen's voices resounded throughout the stage, with roars and unwillingness in their voices, but every word was precisely stuck in the rhythm.

——I saw a passing woman raise the shining tip of a knife!

——I heard you stretch out your hands and beg me for help!

Their voices are full of struggle, resignation, and anger. The rhythm is getting faster and faster, and the drums are getting denser. Every drum beat seems to hit the heart, making the hearts of the audience beat heavily.

Finally, at the climax, the two of them paused at the same time, as if suddenly stopped by some external force, and froze on the stage.

The lights behind him gradually dimmed, and the patients held their heads in horror and ran off the stage.

Two knocks on the door suddenly sounded, like ice cubes thrown into boiling water, making everything quiet.

Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen were back to back in silence for two seconds, then walked in opposite directions, singing in a low voice.

- It's not paranoia, I'm not a lunatic

——It is this world that is crazy, a gentleman with a good face

——The camouflage is all faded, and the chill covers this body

——Tide floods memory, I finally see you

The music stopped abruptly at this moment, and the light that had been chasing Bai Jiu gradually went out, and he finally looked at the camera with a desperate and helpless smile.

Xia Feichen also finished the last line.

- everything is formatted and then, copy and paste again

The stage was completely over, and the audience was still stunned. They didn't start to applaud slowly until the lights were turned on again.

The applause became louder and denser, until finally it almost overwhelmed the host's field control.

Bai Jiu's stage is completely different from what everyone imagined. The overall style is crazy and strange, which completely overturns everyone's first impression of Bai Jiu. The image of a clean angel is completely washed away by the dark and exciting stage at the moment.

In addition, Bai Jiu gave full play to his strengths as an actor. The more he sang, the more desperate and crazy his eyes became. Just looking through the camera makes people feel trembling.

And Xia Feichen's performance is also surprising. Even under such a tense performance by Bai Jiu, Xia Feichen's singing voice is not timid at all. It is still stable and has a strong personal style, which perfectly blends with the whole stage. impressive.

Unlike most of the other preparatory students who only appeared occasionally, Xia Feichen took up almost half of the stage. Bai Jiuken gave the stage to Xia Feichen in this way, which also surprised the program crew.

After Bai Jiu's performance, he was still a little immersed in the emotions just now, panting slightly, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the first row of the auditorium, and soon found Ji Jiang's position.

The auditorium was very dark, and he couldn't see Ji Jiang's expression clearly, but he also felt Ji Jiang smiling at him.

Bai Jiu then smiled at Ji Jiang. Unlike the maniacal laugh he had just performed, his smile now was gentle and cute, and the audience started screaming again.

"Ah, ah, Bai Jiu just smiled so sweetly, I've never seen him smile so sweetly before!"

"Oh my god, this contrast is so cute, it's really killing me!"

"Bai Jiu's stage is perfect. He sings well and acts well, and the arrangement is also new. Who wouldn't choose Bai Jiu?!"

In contrast, although Ji Ruijin's stage is also perfect, it lacks some novelty after all, and it is more like the audience came to listen to his concert for free.

Standing aside, Yan Zhi had an ugly expression on his face. He had seen Bai Jiu and Xia Feichen's rehearsal before, but he didn't expect the two people to present such a good stage effect during the performance.

The audience voted after each group of performances. Hearing the countdown, Bai Jiu felt a little nervous and bowed to the audience.

And the big screen behind them refreshes the audience's choices in real time.

Bai Jiu didn't dare to look at it, turned his back to the screen, and poked Xia Feichen: "Look, look."

Xia Feichen also had a nervous expression on his face: "Brother, I don't want to watch it either."

"..." Bai Jiu suddenly felt helpless, "How about some future prospects?"

That being said, he didn't turn around to see his win or loss.

The interaction between the two was clearly seen by the audience in the front row, and they couldn't help laughing.

At this time, an audience shouted loudly: "Bai Jiu! You have won!"

His voice was loud, startling Bai Jiu, then Bai Jiu smiled and shook his head: "Don't lie to me."

Xia Feichen found that Ji Ruijin and Yan Zhi beside him were a little strangely quiet, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at the result, and then his eyes widened.

"I..." He abruptly took back the swear words that almost blurted out, and Xia Feichen said in a daze, "Brother, I really won."

Bai Jiu immediately turned around and clearly saw that he had overwhelmed Ji Ruijin by a narrow margin of a dozen votes and won the victory.

All the audience cheered, and even the contestants in the backstage couldn't help jumping up. They didn't expect Bai Jiu to overtake Ji Ruijin and win the stage victory.

"My God?! Bai Jiu won!!!"

"Wow!!!"

Among them, Xu Zhizhou was the most excited, rushing to the screen and holding on to the screen: "Hahahaha, so handsome! Jedi counterattack!!!"

……

On the stage at the moment, some people were happy and some were sad. Ji Ruijin couldn't believe it. He stared at the result, as if he hadn't fully accepted this fact.

And Yan Zhi's face beside him was even more ugly, even in front of the camera, he could hardly restrain the irritability in his eyes.

He suggested to the company that the preparatory students should be eliminated. Originally, he wanted to knock out Xia Feichen, a strong competitor, so that he could stand alone in the following shows.

Unexpectedly, cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, but now he will be eliminated because of this rule.

Ji Jiang was also looking at Bai Jiu with a smile, and Bai Jiu made a hearty comparison to where he was, and Ji Jiang's smile suddenly deepened.

The next moment, Bai Jiu turned around and hugged Xia Feichen, and the two jumped up and down excitedly on the stage.

"..."

Ji Jiang's smile froze again in an instant.

The author has something to say: Ji Jiang: Or we should be eliminated.
