Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 83 This is the appearance!
The final of "Idol Producer" will be in the form of a concert. In addition to the performing trainees, many representatives from the trainees' agencies will also be present.

Among them are Yuehua CEO Du Hua and Rubber Entertainment’s Prince Wang.

At this moment, they were sitting in the audience in groups of three or four, chatting warmly, shaking hands and chatting happily. After a while, the representative of Huace also came over.

As soon as Zhao Qinghuan sat down, the representatives around him surrounded him immediately.

"Representative Zhao is here. What a rare guest."

Huace’s film and television resources are well-known throughout the entire circle, not to mention the bosses of these idol companies.

They were eager to get close to Huace on the spot and ask for one or two small roles to help their own artists transform.

It was as if they didn’t stab Gu Jingyi in the back when the “room card scandal” suddenly broke out some time ago.

Zhao Qinghuan sneered in his heart, but still maintained his composure.

We are all trying to make a living in the circle, how could we have no room for maneuver in front of the camera?

After finishing her useless socializing, Zhao Qinghuan returned to her seat. She surveyed the venue, where a sea of ​​black and gold, formed by cheering sticks, stretched as far as the eye could see. Live support was evident everywhere.

Fans of trainees from various groups waved flags and cheered crazily for their trainees.

But the black and gold belongs to Gu Jingyi!
The "Jing Fei" fans had promised to give Gu Jingyi the best possible reception, and they had already been handing out T-shirts with "Gu Jingyi Debuts in Center" printed on them at the stadium entrance. They also distributed support signs and merchandise, so even after entering the stadium separately, they could still identify their fellow supporters by their signature black and gold outfits.

The "black and gold" come together, and as far as the eye can see, it looks like a dense ocean.

The large scale and large number of people have caused complicated feelings among representatives of various brokerage companies.

They never thought that a talent show could produce such a phenomenal top star.

This posture is no different from Gu Jingyi holding his own solo concert...

"They should just ban the "re-cooked pork" contestants from participating... The top contestants all have debuted or auditioned before. How can ordinary trainees compete? This is abhorrent!"

"That's right, Gu Jingyi's family is too overbearing. They turned a debut night into a concert. They're just following the fan group and then going crazy. These toxic fans really don't care about the occasion."

Some fans of other trainees couldn't help but complain sourly, and Zhao Qinghuan, the representative of Huace who was sitting in the front row VIP seats, heard it clearly.

Her back straightened up with excitement, and the corners of her mouth curled up wildly.

This little guy was the one she discovered and signed to Huace.

She has contributed such a huge return in less than a year. Isn't it because she has a good eye for talent?

Gu Jingyi agreed to participate in "Idol Producer" despite tremendous pressure.

Facts proved she was right. Gu Jingyi's popularity grew day by day during the broadcast of "Idol Producer". Huace also took advantage of this favorable situation and its stock price continued to rise.

Many representatives looked at Zhao Qinghuan, who had an "auntie smile" on his face, and wished they could replace him one by one.

The live broadcast was getting closer and closer to 18:40 PM. Zhang Yixing and Li Ronghao were discussing the process with each other backstage. They would co-host the debut night live broadcast.

Live streaming has a low error tolerance rate, which is a huge pressure and challenge for two part-time singers.

At the same time, the backstage team was also urgently making the final confirmation work.

"Is the speakers over there ready? Don't let anything go wrong, this is a live broadcast!"

"Everyone, get ready, check again!"

The sound crew is also busy preparing and making final preparations for the upcoming debut night.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was seven o'clock in the evening.

The stage, which had been silent all of a sudden, became colorful and bright, instantly causing countless screams.

"Hello everyone, this is the live broadcast of the Kiwi Idol Producer debut stage. I am the representative of the national producer, Zhang Yixing."

"After over four months, the nine-member group personally selected by the Citizen Producers will be born tonight after everyone's voting concludes. To all the Citizen Producers present and watching the live broadcast, are you ready?"

Zhang Yixing's simple words ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience.

"Ahhh, Gu Jingyi Gu Jingyi!"

"Gu Jingyi, debut as the center!"

"Jing travels the world, but Yi walks alone!"

Cheers echoed from all directions, with fans both online and offline enthusiastically cheering. On the Kiwi platform, the barrage of comments was so overwhelming that it was almost impossible to see Zhang Yixing's face.

Online messages quickly filled the entire screen.

[Here we are! Where the dream begins!]
[Looking forward to it!]
[Gu Jingyi! Aaaaaahh ...
[Although this isn't my first time watching a talent show...I always get anxious during the finals live stream!]
[Please announce it quickly, the biggest suspense tonight is who will be the second place.]
"The final is the end and the beginning."

Teacher Li Ronghao also held up his cue card and read out the lines with a serious expression. As expected of a top singer, his lines were extremely moving.

"Now let's hand the stage over to the top 20 of 'Idol Producer'. They will perform the theme song for us. Please shout out the name of your pick——"

Zhang Yixing quickly took over and turned the microphone towards the audience with a smile.

The voices of the 18000 fans in the stadium rang out from all directions.

"Gu Jingyi!"

“Jingyi! Ahhhhh!!”

"Emperor Jing!!"

The fans excitedly cupped their hands to their mouths to make trumpet shapes and shouted in unison.

The stage lights suddenly went out and then quickly came back on again.

When the lights suddenly came on and swept out from the center stage in all directions.

Twenty trainees in suit-style uniforms stood on the stage, and a large screen scanned each person's close-up one by one according to their popularity ranking.

The first to bear the brunt was Gu Jingyi, who was standing in the center of the triangle formation. He winked at the audience before the prelude began.

When Gu Jingyi's close-up face appeared on the giant screen in the stadium, his extreme handsomeness was infinitely magnified in front of tens of thousands of spectators.

His visually striking handsomeness was like a torpedo dropped into a calm lake, instantly and effectively sweeping away everything. Gu Jingyi's name appeared on the lips of countless audience members, shattering everything in their reactions.

"Ahhh, Gu Jingyi! Did you see that? He's flirting with me! Did you see that? I'm in his heart!"

"Gu Jingyi!!!"

"Ahhh, Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing!"

"Oh my god, I'm dizzy... How can a human be this handsome? Holy crap!"

"The God of the Big Screen will forever be recorded in the history of the draft as a legendary shot!"

[So handsome that I am speechless, no fucking words]
[My new anti-addiction method was born… No one can resist being addicted to Gu Jingyi]
[Aaaaah! Support Gu Jingyi for bullying the world with his face [Go Duck jpg]]
Fans at the scene watched the two-second close-up shot of the face on the big screen, feeling a bit dazed. This shocking scene lingered in their minds, like a scene from a movie, and could not be dispelled.

What a great and handsome face, it makes people feel relaxed and happy!
"Hey uhey uhey pick me, EiEi——"

"The music run and run, hear you scream for my breath!"

As a popular venue for top concerts in China, Wukesong's top-notch sound effects are far beyond the reach of other performance venues.

Gu Jingyi's voice, piercing through the microphone, echoed clearly throughout the stadium. It lingered in the night sky for a long time. Not only the audience, but even the fans stationed outside the venue could hear the lyrics.

"Hearing you cheer and scream for me—"

Gu Jingyi lowered his eyes and looked at the audience, a glance filled with so much emotion. Fans and audience members clutched their chests, recalling one heart-pounding moment after another.

As the center, Gu Jingyi had a separate lift when the song was about to end.

As he sang and danced while slowly rising upwards, the screams from the audience almost blew the roof off.

Since the first episode of "Idol Producer", Gu Jingyi has always been ranked first.

His ranking changes were like a smooth straight line, like hanging curtains, so stable that it was reassuring.

But for most of the fans at the scene, it was the first time they saw the theme song stage.

Everyone felt refreshed as they watched Gu Jingyi rise higher and higher on the lift platform.

There were only 1000 spots available for each of the three performances, and the debut night concert was the first time for many "Jingfei" fans to see Gu Jingyi.

When I saw Gu Jingyi's figure rising higher and higher on the lifting platform, and the gorgeous stage lights were all focused on him, I felt a surge of emotion.

Which fan doesn’t want to witness their brother having the grandest appearance?

Some emotional fans at the scene had already covered their mouths and started crying.

Online viewers on the Kiwi platform also posted comments one by one.

[Now I feel better. When I first saw the theme song MV, I was cursing the production team. My Jingdi's solo part was too short. I didn't expect to make up for it on the final night 2333]
[Great! The Dogecoin production team finally realized who the show's creators are. I'm so relieved!]
[I took a screenshot and was about to post it on my WeChat Moments to show off. My entire WeChat Moments is filled with animated GIFs of Gu Jingyi jumping around on top of a pyramid. Jingyi, you've been working so hard. You've taken over all my WeChat Moments today. You're truly the "Brilliant Brilliant" with unprecedented popularity, popularity, and die-hard fans!]
Gu Jingyi stayed on the lift for only about ten seconds, which was not particularly long. However, he became popular as soon as he appeared on the screen, making his fans very proud.

The feeling given by a theme song performed by one hundred trainees together is naturally completely different from that given by a theme song performed by twenty people together.

The fewer people there are, the more shots and parts each person gets on average.

"Idol Producer" felt like a grand farewell, the stage growing emptier. While the twenty trainees' moves were becoming more refined and visually appealing, their dance to this nostalgic song reminded the audience who had followed them all the way of their dreams of where they began.

Scenes flashed through everyone's mind, and inexplicable emotions spread in everyone's heart. Looking at these twenty figures again, everyone felt more or less sad.

Especially when the program team specially invited the trainees who were eliminated before to come to the live audience seats, and gave their faces one shot after another.

The feeling of parting became stronger and stronger.

Dong Yanlei, Xu Shengen, and Han Mubo singing "Lucky Tentacles" flashed across the big screen...

These eliminated trainees also gathered in an area under the stage, looking up slightly at their former companions standing on the huge stage waiting for the glory.

When they noticed they were being filmed, they suppressed their complex emotions and stretched their lips into a brilliant smile.

He also did a few dance moves with his hands, which made the fans who had witnessed the whole process feel even more complicated.

[Ah... so everyone... is here.]
[All the "big factory boys" are here, right? It's so touching.]
[Ahhh, did anyone notice Lei Zi? He just danced to Gu Jingyi's part! He was also wearing Gu Jingyi's support bracelet. Ahhh, I'm crying...]
[Although we didn’t make our debut together, I wish our friendship will last forever!!]
The barrage of comments was peaceful, and all the fans were recalling their companionship along the way.

When the theme song ended, the lights dimmed and the trainees descended on the elevator, awaiting their fourth performance song assessment.

After mentor Zhang Yixing interacted for a few words on the stage, he soon started the first song of the "Debut Assessment".

"Now, we'll hand the stage over to the first group of trainees. Their song is, 'Mack Daddy'!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

At the urging of the staff, the team led by Cai Xukun boarded the lift and formed a formation.

Dance music is indeed more suitable for live performances, provided that it is performed normally.

This song has a large dance range, and the backing music is also very loud for the stage presentation effect.

Although the trainees did perform very hard, the audience always felt that something was missing.

Gu Jingyi immediately spotted the problem. The debut night was being livestreamed. This song was clearly a dance track, but the backing track was too prominent. Wasn't that confusing?
Although in the final round, the competition is only about the popularity among fans of each group. The fourth performance stage is also just for fans and does not participate in any ranking.

But the night when a group is formed on any talent show is the peak of the show’s ratings.

Even if these trainees who made it to the end were not able to debut under the name "Milk Foam Sen", at worst they would be taken back by their own agencies and a few of them would be formed into a new boy group to continue their activities in the industry.

Few trainees who have reached this stage plan to quit the circle. They are all thinking about how to go further and further in the circle.

No trainee wants to fail at this time, as it would be embarrassing in front of the national audience!
The center of "Mack Daddy" is Cai Xukun, whose overall performance is indeed good among other trainees. Although this group of trainees with higher rankings include Fan Chengcheng, Justin, and Zhu Zhengting, Kunkun is indeed the most eye-catching one.

His personal characteristics also fit the song very well, a bit fanatical and passionate.

Like a passionate spiritual core, he exudes great stage charm every second. He has been working hard to mobilize the atmosphere of the whole audience and make the audience look at him.

Sadly, this song is just so-so.

After the stage performance, the audience gave polite applause, but their eyes were fixed on the backstage, waiting for the other group led by Gu Jingyi to be assessed.
