Failure

After checking out, looking at the long drink list, Qi Xingchen felt worse than if his diamond mine had been stolen.

So he turned his heartache into grief and anger, and took it out on his teammates. For several days in a row, the poor lads were practiced by him to the point of no return, being dark elves every day, and they even suspected that they were going to become Buddhas on the ground.

It wasn't until the day before the performance that Qi Xingchen finally got over it and let the boys go back to rest.

On the day of the show, when we saw Qi Xingchen backstage again, everyone's eyes were bright and shiny, and it looked like they had slept through the night!

Qi Xingchen doesn't do makeup and hair with the trainees, but her style is the same as her teammates, wearing red and black colors in a hip-hop style, which has a very strong visual effect.

Liu Hai has a red hair band tied around his forehead, which is blown back to reveal his full and clear features. His eye makeup is not as heavy as that of the trainees, and his eyes are lightly swept with red eyeshadow to make the color less obvious, as if a petal of peach blossom had fallen and landed on his face unintentionally.

It's bright and colorful, but also has a touch of floating and dusty.

"This is the first time I've seen Miss Xiao Qi apply stage makeup, and I didn't expect it to be so appropriate. Teacher Xiao Qi, why don't you start your career as a singer and dancer again, and then we'll hug your thighs and you'll take us flying!"

Listening to the trainees' jokes, Qi Xingchen also laughed at them in return: "Whether you can take it or not, it depends on your performance."

"Hehehe, then we'll work hard and try to take you down ...... Eh, Mr. Park is here! Good afternoon, Mr. Park, you look great today too!"

The trainees' mouths were wiped with honey, Bai Ye smiled and encouraged them, then turned to Qi Xingchen: "Stretch the tendons well, pay attention to safety, don't hurt the ligaments."

"Pull it."

Bai Ye nodded, "Cheer up later."

"Okay," Qi Xingchen replied solemnly, "I'll give it my all."

Backstage is full of people and it's not a good time to talk too much, Bai Ye gives him a gentle look and goes back to his side of the group.

Unbeknownst to him, all of this has fallen into Wei Qin's eyes.

If anything, before he had only suspected Bai Ye of having a crush on Qi Xingchen.

Then when he saw with his own eyes the look in Bai Ye's eyes as he sang, he was reluctant, but had to admit that Bai Ye was really in love with Qi Xingchen.

...... But, but why does Bai Ye like that kid?

In terms of strength, he was many times stronger than Qi Xingchen.

In terms of character, he was more elegant and reserved than Qi Xingchen.

Even in terms of first-come-first-served, he knew Bai Ye more than two years before Qi Xingchen did.

How can Bai Ye ignore him and fall for a brat whose family has a little money?

He's not convinced!

As My Generation comes to a close, the judging on Debut Bash Night consists of live judges and web casts, independent of the mentors.

He knows full well that today is the last chance to get Bai Ye back.

Bai Ye appreciates strong artists, and he is going to prove it to Bai Ye today by bringing out all of his best kung fu.

--He's just better than Qi Xingchen, he's just better than Qi Xingchen.

Wei Qin stares sorrowfully at Qi Xingchen, who seems to feel something and turns his head to look at the three groups.

Wei Qin, in the middle of the crowd, sneered at him, then turned her head as if to avoid something dirty and never looked at him again.

Qi Xingchen was slightly uncomfortable, but understood Wei Qin's feelings. He had briefly experienced the taste of unrequited love ...... Anyway, it's not good to be sour.

Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Bai Ye had been very indulgent with him.

When he and Bai Ye hadn't established a relationship, he was somehow jealous from time to time, which is quite excessive in retrospect, what position did he have to be jealous at that time?

If it were anyone else, they might have ignored him long ago.

Only Bai Ye, not only doesn't get angry, but keeps on indulging, and will even try to quell those unreasonable sour streaks of his.

What to do, Qi Xingchen thought, he seems to like Bai Ye more.

Qi Xingchen took out her cell phone, biting her lower lip, and pressed: [You take care of your health, too.]

Summoning his courage, he added two more words: [Brother]

Bai Ye who received the message: "......."

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people backstage, he would have wanted to rush right away to teach that little fan who flirted blindly every day a lesson.

.

The audience for the mentor-support session is set at 1,000, and for the sake of fairness in voting, they are all randomly drawn using the system, so there may be a problem of a higher percentage of someone's fans, but on the whole it won't be too much worse, and it's fairer.

The scoring method is also a live vote plus online voting, where the audience scores the entire group's performance after each group's performance, weighted and added to each trainee's online voting score for ranking and elimination.

The order of performance was according to the order of the songs in the blind audition, the first group was Bai Ye tutor group, the second group was Zheng Yuyang tutor group, the third group was Wei Qin tutor group, the fourth group was Qi Xingchen tutor group, and the fifth group was Chen Jiayi tutor group.

The audience was admitted at 1:00 p.m. and the first group came out at 1:40 p.m. under the curtain call of Chen Jiayi.

Bai Ye's performance came right off the bat, and the crowd and the other trainees were high as a kite. Qi Xingchen and his teammates stood backstage in front of the LCD screen, staring unblinkingly at the man surrounded by the five trainees in the center.

"Ms. Xiao Qi," Xie Yuan stretched her neck, "does Ms. Park not have a fixed center like our group?"

"Hmmm ..... It does seem that way from the stand." Meng Meng looks closely at the screen and nods.

Hearing Meng Meng's words, the others backstage also came to a realization. Bai Ye was standing at the back of the line, covered by three people, and couldn't possibly be the center.

And why the illusion of "Bai Ye being surrounded by people in the center" was created, we all understand now - Bai Ye's aura is so strong and dazzling that no one can cover up his light even when he is standing at the back.

As long as he was there, the audience's eyes would automatically focus on him and no one else would be visible.

That's Bai Ye.

Qi Xingchen's eyes grew hotter and hotter, and for fear of being captured by the camera, she hurriedly turned around and sat down with her teammates, watching the performance attentively.

"The group's style is lazy and lazy, with a huge feel," Yang Leyin praised after listening to a few lines, "Mr. Park's turn of phrase is absolutely amazing, and it makes me feel numb in my soul."

Qi Xingchen thought to himself, "Why do you need to tell me that?

Lu Zenan: "A group of songs difficult to sing not to mention, dance actually did not reduce the difficulty, Mr. Park is tough enough, but the band is also good enough."

Qi Xingchen thought to himself, "Why do you need to tell me that?

Xie Yuan; "My roommate had a group of trainees who were almost broken by this song. But none of them complained about Mr. Park. They all said that the five days they spent learning from Mr. Park were the five days they felt the most since they started in the industry. Mr. Park is amazing ...... Of course our Mr. Xiao Qi is too."

Qi Xingchen: How can you say that?

Jiang Yan : "WOW! Mr. Park's two bass raps are so bombastic!"

Qi Xingchen: This is still ......

Not waiting for him to finish being proud in his mind, the four team members twisted their heads in unison to look at him.

Qi Xingchen thought that everyone had finished blowing in turn and wanted him to continue, and slipped in, "Brother Night is the first breeze in spring, the first watermelon in summer, the first ear of wheat in fall, and the first snowflake in winter. It is the clear stream in the mountains, the deer in the forest, all the beauty in the world, and the Creator's inspirational benchmark for the creation of mankind."

Group IV: "......"

"Teacher Xiao Qi," Meng Meng pointed to the door, "the director is looking for you."

Qi Xingchen : "...... Oh, late sister trouble to help me just that paragraph deleted oh, thank you."

With that, Qi Xingchen got up and went to the corridor. The choreographer was holding a document in his hand and asked him, "Mr. Qi, are you sure you want to perform that program later?"

"OK."

"No Gavia?"

"No, it doesn't work well when you add it."

"OK, I know," the choreographer raised the document in his hand, "this is a disclaimer, if you have casualties during the performance, the program group is not responsible ...... The company process, please cooperate with you to sign. From my personal feelings, I surely don't want to see any accidents happen to you."

...... People in big companies just like to make a big deal out of it. He's performed this show many times before, and there's never been a problem, Qi Xingchen said.

After signing the waiver with the stroke of a pen, Qi Xingchen went backstage. By this time, the group has finished their performance and is taking votes from the audience.

As everyone expected, more than 800 of the 1,000 viewers in the room scored, and the remaining ones who didn't vote were probably because the trainee they were supporting was in a different group and didn't want to give a group extra points.

In the second group, Zheng Yuyang remixed a Korean love song with jazz funk, and scored more than 700 points.

And then the third group, Wei Qin, came out.

Wei Qin's costume is really similar to Qi Xingchen's, going for a darker, rockier look. With smoky makeup and eyeliner, strong eyes and original sound effects, the visual effect is quite good.

After the first verse of the main song, it was time for the chorus and Wei Qin stepped to the front of the line.

Before he opened his mouth, he suddenly lifted the hem of his shirt!

Properly trained abs and mermaid lines were instantly on display, and the room froze for a second, followed by hysterical cheers as the female audience ripped out their voices!

Backstage, Xie Yuan grows a big mouth, "Damn, Mr. Wei is so hardworking!"

"Don't talk dirty," Qi Xingchen took a look at the camera, "Sister Post had the trouble of deleting this line as well. Xie Yuan, watch the program quietly."

"Okay right ......"

Qi Xingchen doesn't see anything wrong with Wei Qin's approach; for a mentor, the task is to bring the trainees to get good grades that are conducive to advancement, and it doesn't matter what method is used.

And as it turns out, Wei Qin doesn't just show off his body to attract viewers. Before the song ended, he delivered a super long two-part high note, which was quite effective.

The audience was out of control at one point!

Finally, the third group scored 867 points, which was only about forty points away from the 913 points of Bai Ye's group.

The moment the scores were announced, Bai Ye bowed his head and typed: [Don't have any pressure, just be yourself.]

Qi Xingchen was already in the waiting area by now, and returned: [Okay, I know brother]

After saying that, he clapped his hands and rushed to the remaining five, "We have spent so much energy, suffered so much, and suffered so much, just for today's performance. In terms of proficiency, the other groups are definitely not as strong as you guys, so bring out the energy of your training and finish this performance with zero mistakes. Are you guys confident?"

Practitioner: "...... There."

Qi Xingchen: "Why is the sound so low?"

Xie Yuan drops his head and doesn't speak.

Frankly speaking, with the three groups in front of them being so strong, it was impossible not to be beaten. Especially since the third group had a similar style to them, and the pearl was in front of them, the pitiful confidence they had gained with their sweat had now vanished without a trace.

Qi Xingchen could guess the concerns of his teammates and said, "There are still two minutes left to go on stage, whether you are confident or not, you have to finish this performance. It's better to go with a sad face than a happy one. Besides,"

He paused, "What makes you think we can't? Just do your part and leave the rest to me, okay?"

His gaze was firm and relaxed as he spoke. When the trainees saw Qi Xingchen's expression, they didn't know why they suddenly felt especially solid and at ease.

In unison, they yelled, "Yes!"

"That's right."

Qi Xingchen put her hand in the center of the circle of six, "Go Team Four."

The remaining five put their hands on the backs of his hands in turn: "Team Four - go for it!"

.

The stage lights are dimmed and Qi Xingchen brings his team to the stage, lining up at the point.

A distant cello then kicks in and the lights are dimmed. Yang Leyin turns, hands on the mike, and opens with a low, resonant clean vocal.

His vocals were so clear and clean that the audience couldn't help but close their eyes and listen closely.

In the next second, the bass and heavy drums cut in unexpectedly. With an evil grin, Meng Meng jumps out of the lineup arranged in a row with two short high notes that straight up the tempo of the music, advancing the first verse of the title track!

I have to say, this contrasting opening is very capable of mobilizing emotions, the following audience can not help but talk to each other: "The strength of the first two of this group are not bad."

"Uh-huh, I think so too!"

The first 4/8 beat of the main song was better, so we unanimously decided to give it to Lu Zenan, who has a short vocal range, while the second 4/8 beat went to Qi Xingchen.

"...... Hmm?" The audience couldn't help but wonder, "Don't all mentors sing the chorus part? Adding this part to the mix, the Starlight Observer is a bit weighted, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, give my Meng Meng a few more seconds to show his face."

"Shhh, keep it down so Starlight doesn't hear you back there."

However, by the time one team look was over, the six quickly adjusted their formation and moved into the knife group dance for the chorus.

Seeing Qi Xingchen standing on the far left of the last row, the Meng Fan from earlier touched her cheeks and said in embarrassment, "I was wrong to blame Teacher Xiao Qi, he actually didn't pick the CENTER seat, just like Teacher Park."

Bai Ye himself doesn't need the traffic, Qi Xingchen is different. Having been questioned all along the way, he needs to perform more than most, to be seen by the audience, to be recognized.

But he didn't, he chose to be part of the team rather than have the practice students raw to dance for him.

"Yeah," said another Meng fan, "In fact, for a while, I always thought that the part where Class F left was the program's script for holding Qi Xingchen. Now I get it, Miss Xiao Qi really deserves to be liked."

"Raise both feet in agreement, I've road-tripped hahaha!"

After the knife dance, which was so neat that even the angle of the hand was the same, the second chorus of the song was performed by Xie Yuan and Yang Leyin. The second chorus of the knife dance followed.

Next, the drums beat more rapidly, and the five men line up in two columns, each grabbing Jiang Yan by the shoulders.

Jiang Yan made a neck-wiping gesture to the camera, and the fans on stage were so impressed by his coolness that they screamed and shouted his name, "Jiang Yan!

Satisfied with the effect, Jiang Yan raised his head and with the first flick of his tongue, the stage became his home!

After nearly fifteen seconds of rapping, Jiang Yan put on a great performance and finally returned to the group with a smile on his face.

Before entering the lineup, he gave Qi Xingchen a tugging high five. It was as if he was saying, "The stage is yours, brother.

With Jiang Yan driving the climax, all eyes were on Qi Xingchen, wondering how he was going to continue Jiang Yan's euphoria.

Keep Rap Keep Burning?

Or switch solo dances to show off more skillful dancing?

Qi Xingchen also nodded at Jiang Yan, ready to step out. The next moment, after seeing his costume, the studio was silent for a few seconds.

He had been wearing a red jacket and black pants, but at some point the jacket had been removed, and inside turned out to be a plain white, button-down tunic with fringes at the hem.

With the peach color at the corner of his eyes, the whole person looked like a little demon sneaking out of the Peach Blossom Dock, bright-eyed and white-toothed, and ignorant and pure.

Immediately afterward, the drums disappear, the music slows down, and the opening cello accompanied by the flute reappears.

Probably to match the mood, two white ribbons fluttered down from the studio roof, falling on Qi Xingchen's left and right.

"This ribbon is quite beautiful, it seems that we guessed wrong before," the female audience in the back row whispered with their girlfriends, "Mr. Xiao Qi doesn't want to rap, nor does he want to solo, he wants to sell his face."

"But I eat his face, he looks good even when he's standing there motionless. If I didn't already have an older brother, I'd probably be fanning him, hahahahahaha!"

The girls were discussing hotly, but just when they all tacitly agreed that Qi Xingchen was going to rely on her face to casually compare her popularity.

Qi Xingchen pulled the ribbons on both sides with both hands, and after a forceful flip, his left leg was tightly wrapped around the ribbons.

The whole thing switched to an upside down position!

Without giving the audience a chance to react, the swinging arm rises quickly with the ribbon. By the time they remembered, the now foreign-looking teacher Xiao Qi had been featured on news broadcasts and in Communist Youth League videos for her traditional cultural acrobatics.

The ribbons had lifted Qi Xingchen into the air, nearly five meters above the ground.

They didn't even see any protection such as wire.

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

"Oh my God!"

As if a boulder had been thrown into a pool of water, the auditorium boiled over with a crash!

Unfortunately, hanging upside down in the air doesn't mean the show is over. On the contrary, Qi Xingchen's show has just begun.

He performed a kind of acrobatics, called "hanging silk". Actors use one or two ribbons, in the air to complete a variety of technical movements, accompanied by costumes, make-up, etc., the effect is very ethereal, as if the flying fairy in the air as beautiful.

Time was running out and Qi Xingchen could not afford to slow down. He grabbed the ribbon and used his waist strength to return to an upright position.

Then right leg forward and lean back ...... and did a zigzag in the air!

"Ahhhhhhh so soft!"

"Is this really human flexibility? I'm not mistaken, am I?"

Retracting his right leg, he rotated around the ribbon twice, left and right, the hem of his coat tasseled and flowing. After rotating left and right, he opened his hands and switched to slow rotation up and down, together with the mechanical rocker arm moving back and forth, like a fairy coming down to visit the earth.

It was so beautiful and unreal.

The flute's sound faded, and finally, Qi Xingchen's legs stirred, hooked onto the ribbon, and then suddenly let go of her hands, her whole body falling straight backward!

The audience's mouths were wide open, and they were so frightened that they forgot to breathe. Bai Ye in the background also tensed his arms in worry and almost stood up without control.

Luckily Qi Xingchen hooked his feet firmly on the back and fell down backwards, hanging firmly in place, and the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pausing in the air for a second, the sound of the flute is about to fade. With his feet wrapped around the ribbon and not moving, he backhanded the ribbon with his left hand and climbed upward, bending his body into a bow and saluting with his right hand in the air to all the spectators, all the members of the program, and the players he had practiced with day and night.

The flute stops, the cello plays the last rest, and Qi Xingchen finally hits the ground.

In the audience, one person, two people, three people ...... Everyone couldn't help but stand up and look at the person in the center of the stage who had yet to stand still.

Clapping, applauding, cheering, mountains of applause resounded through the studio. The trainees backstage couldn't help but stand up and applaud, including Bai Ye.

Five minutes later, the fourth group's scores were freshly released. A total of 907 points, just less than ten points away from the first group.

Looking at the undisguised admiration in Bai Ye's eyes, Wei Qin knew that he had lost to Qi Xingchen in this game.

Lost completely and utterly.
