Chapter 18 Singing and Playing
Chen Yuan mentally calculated his income for the day, which became his motivation. Today's income was still 3.33. If he could win first place in the group activity, he could earn an extra 5. Then, the "loser" task in his hand was the real trouble.
I wonder which guy offstage is the director, otherwise he'd be ready to put a sack over their head in the middle of the night.
This time, his task was to sing a love song, and he had to sing it while watching Xu Zhiyi...
This production team is really something else, treating him like a nobody and demanding that he finish in the top two, otherwise the bonus for the first place in the previous task group will be canceled.
He's basically prepared to give up today's reward.
The shortest duration so far is 5 hours, and he and Zhang Jianjian spent two hours sketching and two hours on clay today. The process for the evening photography session is still unclear.
But he only had one hour left, which was already difficult, and now it was even more difficult.
While I was lost in thought, Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen on the stage had already begun their performance, choosing street dance.
This choice is undoubtedly the best in everyone's eyes, because street dance cannot be judged as a duet or a solo performance; it belongs to whichever group there are.
One person jumping is a solo act, two people jumping is a double act.
Jiang Yichen's skills are clearly very good, and his performance is more entertaining and coordinated. The audience in the live broadcast room was full of amazement. As a singer-songwriter, Jiang Yichen has more fans than Lin Wanxing.
He has shown signs of reaching top-tier creative standards and is now a highly sought-after figure in the music scene.
Being able to street dance is a definite plus, much to the delight of his female fans.
Seeing this, the audience immediately felt the pressure.
I thought it would be hilarious for two singers to dance, but they're not funny now; they really know how to dance.
"Change the target, hairy crabs will do too." Zhang Jianjian whispered in Chen Yuan's ear. After watching Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen's performance, she was a little unsure of herself.
"..."
"Why don't we learn from Xu Zhiyi's group? They can have dessert too," Chen Yuan said.
"No, I want hairy crabs." Zhang Jianjian thought this shouldn't be too difficult for Chen Yuan.
Meng Shuran's group also sings, so they should have some talent. Xu Zhiyi's group, on the other hand, is a duet, which they probably won't be able to handle. The two of them have strategically given up and are now discussing what to eat later.
Soon, Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen finished their performance on stage, and at the same time, the voting interface lit up on the screen next to them.
The butler explained from the side, "Next, the voting in the live stream will begin!"
As the ten-second countdown ended, the live stream opened the voting section, with each person allowed a maximum of three votes, so those who went first had an advantage.
In an instant, the number of votes on the screen began to soar.
It broke one million in just a few dozen seconds, followed by two million, then three million.
Ultimately, Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen's group received over 4.5 million votes.
"hiss!"
"pressure!"
"Such a high number of votes."
Ji Chengyu and the others realized that the champion was very likely to be Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen, and the lobster had no hope. So they turned their attention to other seafood.
With the voting concluded, the second round officially began.
The second group consisted of Su Qingyuan and Lu Zeyan, who were to perform an instrumental piece. Lu Zeyan was the one to perform, and the two of them were just as desperate as Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu.
Among the many musical instruments, Lu Zeyan and his partner ultimately chose the guitar. As the vice president of a financial investment bank, being able to play the guitar was a plus for picking up girls.
However, Lu Zeyan couldn't help but feel nervous in this situation.
He chose a guitar solo, and everyone was surprised when the melody started, but soon Lu Zeyan went off-key.
Finally, he finished playing the piece, stumbling along, and came off the stage drenched in sweat.
"I wasn't this nervous even during the financial crisis," Lu Zeyan remarked.
Soon, voting began for their group.
Compared to the first group, their votes did not increase as quickly. In the three-minute voting period, the final vote count for the two was over 1.6 million.
Quite a few, but not many either.
Furthermore, those present did not know how many people were in the live stream, so they could not determine the upper limit of the vote count.
"It's your turn." Zhang Jianjian nudged Chen Yuan with his wrist, indicating that he could go on stage.
"Huh?" Chen Yuan looked confused.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Jianjian couldn't help but worry that his prized crab might escape, so he smiled brightly and encouraged him, "Go for it! I believe in you!"
"Chen Yuanshang?"
"No way, the son isn't going?"
"Has this group given up the fight too?"
Ji Chengyu and the others were surprised.
"Have you forgotten that he's a songwriter? If he can't write songs, can't he at least sing them?" Meng Shuran's voice rang out.
"It's over, we're really going to be at the bottom!" Ji Chengyu wailed.
Xu Zhiyi and Lin Wanxing looked at Chen Yuan with curiosity, somewhat looking forward to seeing how this songwriter, who didn't have a single song to his name, would perform in terms of singing.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Yuan walked onto the stage in a daze.
Even now, he still can't think of any songs he can sing.
Similarly, viewers in the live stream couldn't figure out what works this creator had created that many viewers hadn't even discovered today.
Before this, many viewers were waiting for the first day's recording to air.
However, we can now know this in advance.
Licheng...
Li Xin leaned back in her chair, her feet propped up on the table, her eyes fixed on the computer screen. Chen Yuan's performance today left her in disbelief.
"No wonder he wanted to participate; it seems he really wants to make a change," Li Xin murmured to herself, recalling the first time she met Chen Yuan.
"What kind of instrument would you like the teacher to play, or would you prefer a live accompaniment?" a staff member asked from the side.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan snapped out of his reverie and looked down at the crowd sitting below the stage against the backlight.
Including today, he has been in this world for nine days. During these nine days, he followed the original owner's low-key, reserved, and cautious approach.
If Li Xin hadn't secured this contract for him, and if it weren't for the million-dollar reward, he would have even considered resigning first and doing something on his own.
In the two days since joining the program, he has genuinely felt something different, as if he himself has changed a bit.
I can't say whether it's good or bad, but I have indeed changed a bit.
Just when everyone thought Chen Yuan was nervous, he suddenly looked at the staff member next to him on stage, smiled, and said, "Give me a guitar."
The staff member was taken aback for a moment, then went downstairs and brought back a guitar, handing it to him.
Chen Yuan took the guitar, looked at the instrument in his hands, and then said to everyone, "I'll play and sing one of my own compositions."
After he finished speaking, there was complete silence.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Good, keep it up!" Zhang Jianjian's applause broke the silence, and then everyone else joined in.
No one expected that a composer who has never released a single work would be performing his song here.
Those works that failed and were never chosen by the singer.
At that moment, among the thousands of viewers watching the live stream, his colleagues who were still familiar with him found it unbelievable.
