Just a moment ago, she had an icy expression, keeping everyone at arm's length, but after mentioning Su Huaiming, her facial features softened, and she even smiled.
Fu Jingfan... he really loves Su Huaiming!
The audience members present all had expressions of "I'm totally blown away," while the viewers in the live stream screamed wildly without any regard for their image.
[Hey kid, don't love her too much!]
[Oh my goodness, President Fu, you've fallen for her!]
[Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen someone stuff candy into my mouth.]
[Host, don't force me to kneel down and beg you, please talk to Fu Jingfan more about Su Huaiming, I haven't had enough of him yet!]
[I hereby declare that it's Chinese New Year for CP (couple) fans!]
The host, who had intended to ease the tension and create more topics, was instead overwhelmed by the couple's public display of affection and couldn't help but swoon as well. After regaining his composure, he steered the conversation back to the main point, "The contestants are all ready and will soon deliver a spectacular performance. This is their first time meeting their fans, aren't you all excited?"
The topic shift was too abrupt, and the fans in the audience were caught off guard, resulting in a few scattered screams.
Not only were the fans dragging them down, but the photographer was also bowing his head in frustration, pointing the camera at Fu Xiaoxiao and Fu Jingfan, constantly zooming in, as if he wanted to rip Fu Jingfan's mask off.
The host was on the verge of tears and reminded him again before the cameraman remembered his job, bringing the camera back to the stage and giving the remaining time to the contestants who were pursuing their dreams.
The order in which the four groups went on stage was chosen by the four groups, with Group A going first and Group D going last. Group A was quite confident and chose to go on stage first, wanting to leave a deep impression on everyone.
The songs they chose were very energetic, the dance moves were wild, and the visual effects were outstanding, making them very eye-catching both live and in the live broadcast.
This song has such a huge natural advantage, no wonder the contestants are all vying to choose it.
The stage lights dimmed, and the contestants, dressed in very stylish costumes, slowly emerged from the rising platform.
Xiao Kaicheng was a guest performer and a mentor on the variety show. He was more popular than the contestants present, so he naturally took the center position.
He also debuted through a talent show, possessing outstanding skills and rich experience. He knows exactly how to attract the audience's attention, whether it's dance moves or facial expressions, he sets himself far apart from other contestants.
Xiao Kaicheng was single-mindedly trying to use his strength to put Su Huaiming down. He danced even more energetically than when Su Huaiming debuted, showing no signs of the vulnerability he had displayed a few days ago when his old injury flared up. Instead, he seemed to be overdoing it.
The overall strength of this group of contestants is above average, but there are still differences. One contestant dances very well, but his breath control is unstable and he tends to tremble when singing. Xiao Kaicheng is better than him, with a clear and stable voice, which creates a stark contrast and highlights his singing skills.
He had barely sung one line when the audience below went wild, screaming and jumping to the rhythm.
The atmosphere was completely electric.
This song is incredibly energetic from beginning to end, giving the listener almost no pause and greatly stimulating the senses. When the music ends, everyone is still reeling from the shock.
When Xiao Kaicheng and the other contestants appeared on stage, the audience erupted in screams. It wasn't just the contestants' fans; Xiao Kaicheng's fans also cheered his name enthusiastically.
Although today is the stage for the contestants, Xiao Kaicheng, who debuted from the previous talent show, is also serving as a mentor this year, which generates a lot of buzz.
The host interviewed Xiao Kaicheng first. Xiao Kaicheng's speech was written in advance and was quite moving. Coupled with Xiao Kaicheng's hair wet with sweat and his unsteady breathing, everyone could feel his hard work and were momentarily transported back to the previous talent show.
The production team also helped edit the video, allowing viewers to relive the exciting moments of Xiao Kaicheng- cheng's debut.
All of this was planned by Xiao Kaicheng. His most glorious moment was during the previous talent show, and he would mention it from time to time. Su Huaiming happened to be a guest performer, so how could he let go of such a good opportunity to put him down?
Xiao Kaicheng took up most of the time, and only after that did the host begin interviewing the performers.
With so many contestants performing, the host could only interview a few of the most popular ones first, and the other contestants didn't even get close-up shots.
This is reality; although the contestants all felt a sense of disappointment, they didn't show it.
The stage was completely heated up, and the atmosphere gave the audience a shot in the arm, keeping them immersed in it for a long time, unable to pull their attention back.
In this situation, the next group to perform will be at a great disadvantage. Moreover, the previous song has a natural advantage and must be more energetic to attract the audience's attention. If the rhythm is slow, it could be a disaster.
Next up is Group D.
Actually, Group D's songs were the best in quality and the most interesting, but the rhythm at the beginning was too melodious, which made the audience who had already seen the energetic performances feel bored and dull.
The members of Group D understood this perfectly well. When they saw the group assignments, they felt a wave of despair, thinking they were doomed.
The entire training room was shrouded in gloom; everyone was dejected, having already lost before even performing.
But during the rehearsal, all doubts vanished.
The contestants in Group D all knew that they were the weakest overall, had the lowest popularity, and yet their songs and stage performances were the most difficult. They were being forced to compete with Group A, but before this hellish start, they were very confident that they could take first place.
--Because they have Su Huaiming.
The contestants, each with a determined look in their eyes, stood backstage, holding their breath, waiting to go on stage.
The stage lights dimmed again, and the audience below no longer looked at the stage with anticipation as they had last time. Instead, they were still immersed in the performance and interviews, whispering among themselves.
Just then, melodious music drifted from the stage, like a clear spring flowing gently through my heart, washing away the dust and restlessness of the world.
The audience gradually quieted down, and couldn't help but look up at the stage.
A beam of light appeared, zooming in from afar, and a figure came into view.
Su Huaiming, dressed in emerald green robes, stood tall and straight, his brocade robes and jade belt swaying gracefully, like a young master slowly returning home, as handsome as a jade tree standing in the wind.
His eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, delicate and elegant, as pure as jade, with a gentle spring water flowing in his eyes. His upright shoulders could bear the weight of the nation's mountains and rivers. He had the spirit of youth but was also steady and composed, like a green bamboo, straight and upright, valuing integrity above all else. Nothing could bend him.
He descended slowly from the sky, his robes fluttering, his long hair tracing graceful arcs in the air, like a deity descending from heaven, or a figure stepping out of a painting, so handsome that he could steal one's breath away.
Su Huaiming lowered his eyes slightly, his slender, thick eyelashes casting faint shadows, giving him a unique gentleness. He played the bamboo flute in his hand, immersed in the music, the flute's sound melodious and graceful.
The audience was drawn into his world, as if they were in a bamboo house surrounded by books and calligraphy, with lush bamboo leaves in the courtyard, isolating them from the hustle and bustle of the world, and so quiet that they could hear the sound of raindrops.
Su Huaiming descended slowly from the other side of the stage, playing the flute. As he landed, music began to play, accompanying the flute music.
The contestants appeared on stage, their voices blending perfectly with the flute music, drawing the audience's attention.
The production team has been working hard to accommodate Su Huaiming; this is probably the best stage design they could achieve.
Like a drop of ink falling into water, gradually fading away, after the melodious music, the background transforms into the A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, with the contestants' performances and dance moves integrated into it, graceful yet grand and majestic. Only those who have mountains, rivers, and the world in their hearts can possess this kind of temperament.
The melodious music did not stop abruptly, but it was interspersed with annoying, intense drumbeats. The two sounds were extremely jarring, and when they were forced together, the audience's emotions were stirred up, and they felt anxious and bewildered.
The drumbeats stopped abruptly at their peak, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats, their breathing becoming labored.
The contestants shed their flowing robes, and their dance moves became more energetic and powerful. Compared to pure wild excitement, this kind of music resonated more deeply with the audience.
Su Huaiming appeared on the dilapidated city wall. His shoulders and back were thin, but it was as if a sword was stuck in his body. His posture was upright, and nothing could break him.
The operatic singing style infuses this song with soul, slowly conveying his sorrow and anger.
A young master from a prominent family, who used to be a lover of literature and music, abandoned his greatest passion, gave up his pen to join the army, and dedicated himself to serving his country.
He witnessed the suffering of the people and the devastation of the land, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation; his cries were almost blood-stained.
Standing atop the dilapidated city tower, with his people and country behind him, he would never retreat a single step, even if his body were shattered and his soul severed!
I only understand dying for my country on the battlefield; why should I need a horsehide shroud to return home?
He is a refined gentleman, as elegant as jade, and also a sharp sword, capable of cleaving through all the filth and suffering in the world and piercing the enemy's chest.
Compared to the previous graceful movements, the dancers' dance became powerful and resonant. The stage lights turned a blinding red, interspersed with the metallic reflections of the armor, creating not only a strong visual contrast but also a certain artistic conception.
This is the most difficult.
When the music stopped abruptly and the contestants left the stage, the audience and viewers in the live stream were still in a daze.
The audience members present were excited but couldn't express it immediately, but the viewers in the live stream had that channel, and the screen was almost flooded with comments.
[Ahhh, I declare this the best performance I've ever seen!]
[Oh my god, I didn't feel the passage of time at all while watching the performance; I felt completely immersed in it.]
[Has this stage been scaled down? Why was the performance only lasted so short?]
[Su Huaiming, my destined wife! I'm so smitten!]
When will Su Huaiming go into acting? His period drama look is absolutely stunning! I wish I could watch those short ten-odd seconds over and over again!
[Su Huaiming's Peking Opera-style vocals breathe soul into this song. Anyone who said he couldn't sing well before, come and get your comeuppance!]
[Su Huaiming's screen time was too short! Xiao Kaicheng was in the center the whole time, and Su Huaiming was hidden in the back when he was singing opera. I practically stuck my head into the screen, but I still couldn't see him clearly, lol]
I think this is good. After all, it's the contestants' stage. If someone like Xiao Kaicheng stands out too much, it's a bit like the contestants are stealing the show.
[Yes, I've wanted to complain about this for a while now. The guest performers are stealing the spotlight! My contestant not only didn't get the center position, but they barely got any screen time!]
With Su Huaiming as a comparison, everyone realized the problem, and arguments broke out in the comments section about the mission of the guest performers.
The audience was unaware that the host had invited Su Huaiming and the contestants over.
Su Huaiming consciously stood at the very edge, and even discussed it with the production team beforehand, telling them not to worry about him and to leave the interview time to the contestants.
Su Huaiming has no desire to show off or engage in singing and dancing; he simply wants to fulfill his mission. As for the trouble of giving interviews, that's a separate matter.
Although Su Huaiming tried his best to keep a low profile, his ancient costume look was so stunning that the audience below the stage wanted to stick their eyes on him. Even Qi Xingzhou on stage couldn't help but steal a few glances at Su Huaiming during his performance, wishing he could come over and get close to his idol.
Su Huaiming couldn't dance and hadn't designed any dance moves for himself, but being suspended by wires was more difficult than he had imagined and extremely physically demanding.
His chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing became heavier, his fair skin was covered in sweat, his lips were glistening with moisture, and there was a hint of rosy blush in the corners of his eyes, truly deserving of the description "a face as beautiful as a peach blossom."
The wire harness had been too tight, causing Su Huaiming pain. He couldn't show it in front of the camera, so he simply reached behind his back and gently rubbed his lower back. The force wasn't great, but the pain was excruciating.
He gasped, bit his lip, and, thinking no one had seen, immediately withdrew his hand, not daring to touch it again.
Just then, Su Huaiming felt an extremely strong gaze fall on him, and his exposed skin felt like it was being electrocuted.
Su Huaiming couldn't help but raise his head, following that gaze, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Fu Xiaoxiao, who should have been at home, was sitting on the butler's head, waving excitedly at him. When Su Huaiming looked over, she acted like a social butterfly, pulling on the unfamiliar uncles and aunts next to her, pointing at Su Huaiming, and then pointing at herself, as if introducing their relationship.
Su Huaiming was already quite surprised to see Fu Xiaoxiao, and then he caught sight of a familiar figure.
Fu Jingfan wasn't dressed in a suit and tie, but rather in understated black clothes and a mask. However, his presence was so strong that it was hard not to notice him.
Separated by a vast crowd, Fu Jingfan accurately caught Su Huaiming's gaze. His deep, ocean-like eyes followed Su Huaiming's figure, and Su Huaiming had a vague illusion that he could see his own reflection in Fu Jingfan's eyes.
Time seemed to slow down, the voices of the host and contestants became indistinct, and everything else in the world rapidly receded, leaving only him and Fu Jingfan.
There was a special attraction between the two of them, and he was forced to pull them toward Fu Jingfan.
Su Huaiming suddenly snapped out of his daze, blinked awkwardly, and inexplicably dared not look Fu Jingfan in the eye again, so he could only turn his head to look at the contestants and the host beside him.
The photographer seemed to be a fervent CP fan, capturing even such a subtle action. He pointed his lens at Su Huaiming and Fu Jingfan, revealing their reactions perfectly.
The viewers in the live stream are going crazy over this.
[President Fu is truly a wife-obsessed maniac]
[Yo yo yo yo~ Su Huaiming is so sorry!]
