After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

Fu Donghai also came to the scene today.

He thought he was very well disguised, wearing a baseball cap and a big mask, and even spent a lot of money to rent a "big gun". He just sat there casually and looked like a fanboy.

What he didn't know was that Fu Donghai had already been recognized by Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu's fans.

Fan site admins are already rare, and those who are fan site admins at this age are even rarer. It's really hard not to notice such an "oddball" when he suddenly appears among a group of vibrant young girls. And the fans all know that this is the real uncle.

Xiang Wanwan turned her head and whispered to Dai Xiaoqing, "Why did Uncle come? And even though Uncle is here, he still can't sit in the front row? He should at least be given a family seat. Look at the mess this is in."

"So what is he trying to fake with his physique? It's true that everything becomes painful when you get old."

Dai Xiaoqing's lips twitched. "Sigh, let's just pretend we don't know anything. It's just a small workshop. There are only three people in the company, two of whom are trainees... Our Uncle Donghai even does the cleaning. Let's just let him be. He's not trying to fly to the moon. He just likes to cosplay as a fan site admin, so let him be."

Because Fu Donghai's seat was in the row in front of them, the two girls chattered away and then kindly gave him a bunch of support materials—even if it was their own uncle, they would still help hold up the banners.

Before long, the warm-up music stopped abruptly, the lights flashed, and another powerful piece of music started up again.

The fans in the audience quieted down on their own, knowing that the show was about to begin.

As Jiang Ruyao's figure grew clearer and clearer from afar, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

"Welcome, everyone, to our performance today."

Jiang Ruyao held up her cue cards and said, "This performance will be a group competition. We have prepared a total of seven songs, each to be performed by trainees from groups A and B. All the national producers will vote on the spot based on the performance of the two groups of trainees and choose the group that performs better. Each member of the winning group will receive an extra 10,000 votes."

"Please hold your voting devices carefully. The fate of each trainee is in your hands."

After speaking, Jiang Ruyao nodded, indicating that tonight's performance was officially beginning.

As she left the stage, the large screen in the center began to scroll continuously, finally settling on a line of flashing text—

Extreme Waves.

Red and white lights flashed alternately, accompanied by a noisy scene as a group of trainees dressed in messy high school uniforms and carrying baseball bats walked out, making it look exactly like a scene from "Crows Zero".

"Here it comes!"

Apart from the trainees who were preparing for the performance, everyone else was watching the live performance on a large screen in the rest area.

"I wish I had chosen the 'Extreme Wave' group too! Their stage design is so cool!"

The speaker was Sun Yixiao. Although he was the main vocalist, he was one of the better dancers among the vocalists. The stage effects of "Extreme Wave" were so impressive even before the official performance started, which made him envious.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian, who was in the same group, immediately hugged his leg and started wailing, "Brother Xiao, you can't abandon us! Without you, our group will really have no one who can dance!"

Xu Nian was telling the truth. Although "Youth Echo" is a stage for vocals, stage performances cannot just be about standing still and singing. There are still some movement and simple dance moves to be designed. If he hadn't shamelessly dragged Sun Yixiao into Group B of "Youth Echo", they might have ended up in the same miserable situation as Group A.

As they were talking, the people on the stage had already lined up in a row:

"Hello everyone! We are Group A of 'Extreme Waves'! Young people are not afraid of storms, and we have a direction when we stand side by side! Today, we're going to ignite the entire venue with our live, perfectly synchronized dance!"

The super-energetic slogan instantly ignited the atmosphere, and the trainees in the rest area cheered enthusiastically.

As the first stage to perform, the pressure was immense, especially since the trainees in this group were mostly from the lower-middle ranks, with few fans present and no one having high expectations for them.

However, the less you expect, the more likely you are to be pleasantly surprised, and this group's performance was unexpectedly good.

"Extreme Wave" was originally an electronic rock song with almost no dance moves, but Group A completely rewrote it, turning the original song, which was more vocal, into a full-blown, high-energy competitive group dance.

Rapidly changing formations, wave-like lights dancing to the music, perfectly synchronized knife dance...

Even Ling Tinglan, after seeing it on the big screen, couldn't help but silently complain to Jiao Wangshu, "Is this the song we initially wanted to choose?"

"Luckily, I didn't get into the same group as them. If I had known that this group's 'Extreme Wave' was this intense, I wouldn't have dared to even look at the song."

As they were talking, the director conveniently cut to a close-up shot, focusing on Zuo Lang in the center position. His appearance wasn't particularly outstanding among the trainees, but his makeup and styling today suited him exceptionally well. Bloodstains were painted on his face with special red paint, adding a lot of emotional brightness to his otherwise somewhat plain features. His short buzz cut also stood out handsomely among the sea of ​​Korean-style bangs.

It is said that the dance adaptation of Group A of "Extreme Waves" was entirely driven by him. If Zuo Lang had not choreographed, refined the movements, and led the training, this group would definitely not have had such a complete and dazzling stage performance.

"Charge towards the most turbulent waves, let youth run wild and reckless, and never surrender even if you are covered in wounds—"

As the last line of lyrics fell, a storm of applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Despite the pressure of being the first to perform and the low expectations from the audience, the opening of "Extreme Waves" Group A had undoubtedly exceeded expectations.

Group B's performance was much less impressive. They didn't make any changes to the song and simply performed according to the original music video.

Actually, they sang quite well, but these trainees are all quite young. Many of them have just gone through puberty and lack breath control. Their handling of the emotions in the songs is also very immature. Overall, it was a very average performance, and naturally, it couldn't compare to Group A.

The audience members below the stage took out their voting devices and began to vote. That's how exciting the live performance was. The voting period was only three minutes, and the votes were basically released after the contestants finished giving their campaign speeches.

The result was naturally an overwhelming victory for Group A of "Extreme Wave".
