After trainees choose their seats, instructors will re-rate them based on their subsequent performances.
The order of performances was determined based on the order of the draw just now, and Lu Xu was ranked first in "The Age of Innocence".
"Classmate Lu Xu, what performance are you preparing for?" It can be seen that Xu Lele really likes Lu Xu, and she can't help but strike up a conversation with him whenever she meets him.
The program is no secret, and there is nothing to hide: "Singing."
"Wow, I really want to hear you sing!" Xu Lele looked like she was smiling, and her two little dimples were very cute. He originally wanted to continue asking what song Lu Xu sang, but his teammates pushed him back and said he needed to get used to it before going on stage.
"People have said that you haven't practiced for long and you still ask, are you stupid?" In the eyes of his teammates, Lu Xu's so-called not having too much practice time is to find a step for himself in advance. It's easy to have expectations for him just by looking at his face, but the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Rather than waiting to fall off the altar after the performance, it is better to cheat on yourself in advance to prepare the audience mentally.
No matter how bad your performance is, you will still be in class F. If you are lucky and get into class D or C, it will be an unexpected surprise.
Lu Xu didn't pay attention to what the trainees huddled behind him said. He just stared at the screen.
Soon, the first group finished its performance.
In line with the principle of ladies first, Qin Ruowei became the first instructor to speak.
"Your self-rating is B, right?" Her tone was calm, and there was no emotion on her face. No one knows whether this means good or bad.
Several trainees looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.
Qin Ruowei raised her eyebrows, confirmed the results in a low voice with the other three instructors, and then continued: "I read the information and said that you have been practicing for three years, but I see no trace of practice on you at all."
These words were a bit harsh. The trainees on the stage suppressed their blushes, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.
According to the final results discussed by the instructors, all four people were demoted. Except for the captain who is in Class C, the other three all went to Class D.
The opening was so strict, and the trainees below became nervous instantly——
"Ohgod! Is it so exciting to play here?"
"I feel so panicked all of a sudden. I feel like I have to go to Class F to accompany Lu Xu."
"You are overthinking, maybe Lu Xu has been upgraded!"
.......
The next two teams also rose and fell.
The professional standards of the instructors are really high. Through a performance, you can see the strengths and weaknesses of each member.
Those who are talented will be promoted from Class C to Class B, while those who are not capable will fall to Class D or even Class F.
The order changes rapidly, and no one knows what their next fate will be.
Before Lu Xu came on stage, Xu Lele was still cheering him up, but he was really not nervous at all.
I'm used to it in life and death, like performing on stage is just a small scene.
"The next person to appear is the trainee promoted by Yaoguai Entertainment..."
Hearing Liang Da call his name, Lu Xu walked to the center of the stage against the light.
The light shining on him only made him feel brighter than the light.
Even the judges in the audience were not calm when they saw it. Shen Chengyu was the first to speak: "Lu Xu, you are only eighteen years old this year, right?"
Lu Xu, who was over two hundred years old, pursed his lips and nodded vaguely in acquiescence.
When Shen Chengyu heard this, he gave Qin Ruowei a wink and joked: "It's a younger brother."
Qin Ruowei really liked Lu Xu's appearance, and said generously: "Even if you are handsome, I won't let him go."
In this situation, Lu Xu didn't need to say anything. He just glanced at Ji Xiunian intentionally or unintentionally and raised his eyebrows slightly -
His face looks pretty good, but I don't know what he's like on the inside.
Seeing that they were almost done talking, Gu Wen'an raised his hand to Lu Xu and said, "We can start."
Immediately, a staff member bent down to the stage and brought a bracket to Lu Xu.
The lights in the studio suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light chasing Lu Xu on the stage.
As the music played, Lu Xu held the microphone with both hands and sang in a low voice with a faint smile: "You are a light in the dark night, leading me to death happily..."
His voice was clean and clear, and he slowly sang his own poem.
"Look at how beautiful death is, with its splendor that cuts through the sky..."
The ethereal singing lingered in everyone's ears, as if someone was singing from their hearts.
The man on the stage raised his lips, his beautiful eyes shimmered, and used his voice to seduce everyone: "I am willing to sink and wander in endless death with you..."
"Love listens to my singing, Death dances with me..."
Lu Xu's singing voice is lazy, like light rain falling on the grass, and like wind chimes swaying in the wind...
He sings about death, but brings us beautiful memories of life.
It wasn't until long after the music ended that everyone recovered from the atmosphere just now.
Seeing the innocent and harmless Lu Xu smiling on the stage, not to mention the judges were surprised, even the trainees went crazy together——
"You sang so well. You should have gone directly to Class A just now."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that I would go to Class F to accompany Lu Xu. I should have just knelt down and sent him off for his debut."
"Let me tell you, the artists of Yaoguai Entertainment are all excellent and unlike human beings."
...
Gu Wen'an was a music fan. When he regained consciousness, he asked Lu Xu anxiously: "I seem to have never heard this song you sang. Is it original?"
Lu Xu just signed the contract yesterday, so he has no time to prepare any programs. Thinking that I would at least make it to the finals, I sang the song "Hymn of Death" of their Shinigami Club.
The minister hired someone to write this song, in order to promote the beautiful people in the Death Department and let everyone face death with a happy and calm mood.
Lu Xu couldn't say who wrote it, but he said vaguely: "It's original, but it's a song written by my friend."
Gu Wen'an's eyes lit up instantly: "Can I ask who your friend is? Are you still writing songs?"
Someone who can write such a good song will surely shine in the Chinese music industry if he is signed.
"He is not in this world..." Lu Xu only mentioned one sentence and said nothing else, leaving enough room for everyone's imagination.
Was he already dead?
No one wanted to mention Lu Xu's sadness at this time, so Gu Wenan apologized and said, "My condolences."
It seems that everyone has always been taboo about mentioning the word death.
It seems that death represents negative emotions such as pain, death, forgetfulness and so on.
Lu Xu didn't want to make a long speech on the stage, but simply quoted a writer's words in a relaxed tone: "Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of life that will last forever. As long as you understand this, life will be much easier, won't it?"
Few people can talk about life and death as calmly as Lu Xu.
He comes across as straightforward and natural, and the atmosphere in the entire studio instantly becomes relaxed.
When Lu Xu was talking, Ji Xiunian couldn't help but look at him twice. Before he came to the studio, he still felt pain in his shoulders and back, as if he was being pressed by something. But at this time, his body was rarely light, and his spirit was also much better. He always felt that these changes seemed to be related to Lu Xu, but then he felt that he was overthinking, so he looked away again.
Regarding Lu Xu's re-rating, the instructors quickly discussed and came up with the result.
Before announcing the results, Qin Ruowei did not forget to ask: "The talent you showed just now was vocal music. We are very curious about how you dance."
Lu Xu spread his hands: "I didn't have time to prepare."
His face was so provocative that the instructors did not make things difficult for him.
The final result was announced by Ji Xiunian. He looked up at Lu Xu and said, "Lu Xu, you gave yourself an F rating, right?"
Lu Xu nodded: "Yes."
Ji Xiunian didn't ask why, but just said congratulations to him: "After our evaluation, we unanimously decided to assign you to Class A."
"Oh my God, I jumped from Class F to Class A. The speed is like a rocket!"
"He's handsome and can sing so well. He'll definitely be in Class A."
"So why should I choose Class F in the first place? I can just go to Class A directly."
As the first trainee to be rated as A by his mentor, Lu Xu naturally became the focus of everyone's attention again.
When Fan Zeng saw Lu Xu walking up to Area A, he felt like he had picked up a treasure and grinned to his ears.
Li Haichao looked on, unable to laugh.
I thought Bai Ze pushed a vase out this time, but I didn't expect there were two brushes.
You can sing so well, why did you choose f to mislead others in the first place?
The more Li Hai thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Xu had done this under the authorization of Bai Ze. He wanted to suppress his desires first, so that he could steal the limelight.
Looking at Bai Ze's unfazed look, he seemed to have known the result for a long time. Li Haichao couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "Treacherous!"
Naturally, Lu Xu didn't know that someone was busy labeling him.
He walked to Area A and sat down, but he was thinking about the scene he just saw -
From the moment Ji Xiunian came in, he saw the black energy lingering around him.
Once a person's yang energy weakens, unclean things will naturally come to him.
Judging from Ji Xiunian's state, he must have been pestered for a long time, but those things sensed his presence and did not dare to follow him in.
If Ji Xiunian really borrowed his life, he shouldn't have such troubles.
But there are no absolutes in anything. Maybe he was deliberately putting on a show to confuse them.
Didn't Xie An also say that the organization had sent three members over to investigate. As a result, they all defected to the enemy and became fans. He couldn't take it lightly.
In the studio, the ratings continued.
Lu Xu's performance seemed to cheer up the trainees. Everyone from Class F has gone to Class A. They should work harder so as not to be too embarrassed.
So after Lu Xu, a water-dividing leader appeared. The strength of the first three groups seemed to be quite average.
The further behind the trainees are, the stronger their comprehensive abilities are. Especially Song Zhe's group, whose stage performance is already at a debut level. Even to an outsider like Lu Xu, their group dances work well together and their singing skills are considered outstanding among the trainees.
The instructors were also in a dilemma, and they made a decision after deliberation for a long time.
"We all agree that the overall strength of the five of you is good, so the final rating is 5a."
"Ahhhh..."
"Very good!!"
"Ah Zhe, we are all alas!"
The members on the stage were very happy, but then they had doubts——
There are only seven seats in area a, and three people, including Lu Xu, are already sitting there.
In other words, there are now a total of eight people who have obtained A-level, which is obviously more than the limited number.
A conjecture is brewing in everyone's mind.
As expected, Shen Chengyu soon spoke up and explained the solution: "One of you wants to make a playoff, please go to Area A and choose one person to fight. Only the one who wins the playoff will be eligible to sit in Area A."
There was an uproar below——
"Is there actually a battle in the first game?"
"Oh my God, everyone is so strong. Isn't this just a fight between gods in reality?"
"The four mentors are really bad, but I like them so much."
...
Except for the three contestants in Area A who are waiting to be challenged, the other trainees are just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Seeing Song Zhe, the challenger, slowly walking towards this side, the trainee named Zhou Yu next to Lu Xu scratched his head and sighed: "It's over, it's over, he will definitely choose me. Wuwuwu... ."
Another trainee named Wang Lin had a calm attitude and waved directly to Song Zhe: "Choose me, choose me, I'm ready to give up my seat to you."
Song Zhe glanced at them respectively, but he was very curious about Lu Xu's reaction now.
As the seed player in this draft, Song Zhe has always been generally favored by everyone. Even Song Zhe is very confident in himself and always feels that he was born for this stage.
He knew most of the capable members in other groups, and he was quite prepared.
But I never expected that Lu Xu would suddenly come out halfway.
Song Zhe walked to Area A and stopped. Everyone's eyes fell on him, curious about what he would choose.
Seeing Lu Xu looking at him, Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, ready to fight at any time.
Just when many people were speculating that Song Zhe would re-elect Lu Xu, he suddenly moved and finally stopped in front of Zhou Yu: "Hello, I want to fight with you."
Zhou Yu wailed, with an expression that had been like this for a long time. His strength is good, but Song Zhe is obviously better.
Unsurprisingly, Song Zhe won.
He walked to the position next to Lu Xu and looked at him condescendingly, with a storm brewing in his eyes, as if he regarded him as an opponent.
Lu Xu didn't care at all, he just leaned to the side to make way for him.
Song Zhe was stunned for a moment and could only sit down following Lu Xu's wishes.
When I came back to my senses, I felt a little annoyed. No matter what I thought, I felt that my momentum had just been suppressed by Lu Xu.
Later, there were trainees who received A-level ratings one after another. Like Song Zhe, they also chose their own opponents to battle.
It's strange to say that all the A-level trainees around him have been replaced, but no one came to challenge Lu Xu.
From the moment he sat in seat C in Area A, he never came down again...
After a day of hard recording, the first episode of "The Birth of an Idol" was finally finished.
The instructors left first, while the trainees were busy packing their bags and moving into the training camp.
In order to facilitate recording, the program team directly renovated an old apartment next to the TV station and used it as a training and accommodation venue for the players.
Bai Ze asked someone to help Lu Xu pack the luggage.
Because it is a fully enclosed training, it is not easy for Bai Ze, as a manager, to follow him.
"Don't put too much pressure on, just be yourself." Bai Ze felt somewhat surprised after watching Lu Xu's first recording.
At the end of the day, Bai Ze couldn't help but say: "You are different from the God of Death in my impression..."
Hearing this, Lu Xu turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "What do you think the image of the God of Death should be?"
Rigorous, cold, taciturn...
Bai Ze thought of a few key words in his mind, but felt that such a summary seemed a bit too one-sided.
Lu Xu seemed to know what he was thinking and shrugged indifferently: "Nothing in this world exists according to a template. It doesn't matter what the image is, as long as you do your essential job well, it will be ok."
"That's right." Bai Ze took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, and saw Lu Xu looking at him curiously.
It was rare to see him showing such an expression, so Bai Ze immediately asked: "Is there any problem?"
Lu Xu lowered his eyes, held his chin with one hand and nodded his chin at the glasses in Bai Ze's hand: "Actually, I have always been a little curious, can you monsters be myopic?"
"..."
Bai Ze shook his head: "No, at least I'm not short-sighted." While speaking, he put his glasses back on and explained seriously, "I just think this is more in line with the character of the Overlord."
"Interesting." Lu Xu nodded in understanding, then opened the car door and got out of the car, and happened to meet Xu Lele who had come to gather.
"Brother Xu!"
Seeing Lu Xu from a distance, Xu Lele dragged her suitcase and ran towards him like flying, "I was leaving the show in a hurry just now, and I didn't even have time to tell you, your singing is really nice!"
Xu Lele thought Lu Xu seemed capable from the beginning, but she didn't expect that he would surprise the audience as soon as he opened his voice.
This is not a younger brother, this is clearly an older brother!
Xu Lele's admiration was written all over his face. Lu Xu was a little dumbfounded and could only say: "That's it, there's nothing good or bad about it."
"No way!" Xu Lele can now be regarded as Lu Xu's standard fanboy. When others were not paying attention, he took out an amulet from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Xu's hand.
"This is?"
Lu Xu looked at the yellow talisman in his hand and was a little confused.
"Amulet, to keep you safe." Seeing Lu Xu's confused expression, Xu Lele pointed to the old apartment not far away and explained in a low voice, "Brother Xu, I'm telling you, this building is haunted..."
