Noon.
The door was kicked open.
Su Ze, Gu Dapeng, and Lin Le, like refugees who had rolled around in the mud, helped each other into the dormitory.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai lying on the bed playing on his phone, the three of them instantly turned red.
"Third brother! This isn't fair!"
Su Ze let out a wail and slammed his hat on the table:
"We were folding blankets over there until our fingers were cramping, and you're here enjoying the air conditioning?!"
"I want to take a day off too!"
"My dad's fourth mistress had a baby, why won't Lao Zhang give me a chance to ask for leave? I need to go back for the banquet!"
Gu Dapeng plopped down on the ground, his eyes vacant.
"I don't want to live anymore."
"That blanket is bullying me. I just pinched the corners, and it bounced back as soon as I let go."
"The performance is tomorrow, and we have to fold our blankets in front of the whole school!"
"What if it collapses... how am I supposed to stay in the acting department? Will I even be able to find a wife?"
Lin Le pushed up his glasses, his face also showing anxiety:
"According to Murphy's Law, if something can go wrong, it will, no matter how small the chance."
"I have a feeling that our formation will become the laughing stock of the whole school tomorrow."
Looking at my three roommates who are so anxious they're almost depressed.
Jiang Bai sat up, unscrewed the thermos, took a sip of water, and said slowly:
"What's the panic?"
"That shows how narrow-minded you are."
"It collapsed? That's good!"
"Huh?" The three were stunned, and all looked at Jiang Bai. "Why?"
Jiang Bai, with a straight face, lied:
"Think about it."
"Tomorrow's performance will be the same old marching and the same old 'tofu block' formations."
"The girls downstairs are already tired of seeing you, they won't even notice you."
"At this moment, if your blankets suddenly collapse, or are folded into a ball..."
"What is that?"
"That's the focus of the entire event! It's truly unique!"
Jiang Bai slapped his thigh:
"Then, all the girls in the school will be focused on you!"
"They will remember your names, and they will remember your unconventional artistic style!"
"Being infamous is still being famous! With attention comes the right to choose a partner!"
"This is called—reverse marketing!"
The trio froze for a full three seconds.
then.
"I'll go to hell with you!"
Su Ze was the first to react, letting out a howl and lunging forward:
"Are you trying to make our society infamous for eternity?!"
"Brothers! Go! Get him!"
Gu Dapeng and Lin Le also realized what was happening and surrounded them with sinister smiles.
"You dare to fool us?"
"Is this the true face of the strong?"
"Now, accept the punishment of the weak!"
The four of them instantly started playing around in the cramped dormitory room, with pillows flying everywhere and laughter and shouts filling the air.
...........
at the same time.
Kyoto, a thousand miles away.
The post-production room was brightly lit.
In the post-production room of "The Voice of China" program, the air was so tense it felt like you could wring water out of it.
The first episode will officially air tonight at 8 PM.
The final review of the completed film is currently underway.
Director Wang Dazhong sat in front of the monitor, holding a strong coffee in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, but he was unusually excited.
"First contestant, pass."
"Third one, the audio editing is a bit overdone, adjust it back a bit, we need to make it more realistic."
"This crying scene looks too fake, cut it out."
Wang Dazhong reviews candidates very quickly, glancing over most of them at a glance.
until........
The progress bar has been scrolled to the end.
The image shows a figure carrying a guitar and wearing a Mori-style long dress.
Angelica dahurica.
Wang Dazhong pressed the pause button.
His brows furrowed slightly.
The editing team leader next to him felt a pang of anxiety and cautiously asked:
"Director...?"
"What's wrong?"
"Was Ms. Jiang getting too much screen time?"
The editing team leader wiped his sweat and explained:
"I know this is a bit biased."
"But her footage is just so good, every shot is as beautiful as a magazine cover."
"In the final cut, her part alone takes up nearly ten minutes, which is more than the previous three contestants."
"If I think it's too conspicuous and might cause controversy, I'll go cut it shorter now?"
After all, variety shows are all about giving equal attention to each contestant.
Giving a contestant such a long section is indeed a bit of a "rule-breaking" thing.
however.
Wang Dazhong slowly turned his head and looked at the editing team leader with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Shorten it?"
"Who told you to cut it short?"
The editing team leader was bewildered: "Then... what do you mean?"
Wang Dazhong pointed at the screen and said with a look of disappointment:
"I think it's too little!"
"How can this be enough?!"
"The audience's all ready with their snacks, and this is what you show them?"
"What about those close-ups? What about those micro-expressions?"
"There are also shots of her spacing out backstage, close-ups of her fingers tuning her guitar, and her little expression when the mentor turns around!"
"Add them all in!"
The editing team leader was dumbfounded:
"Director... if we add any more, the total runtime won't be enough!"
"We need to add more even if it's not enough, and cut out those players with zero revolvers!"
Wang Dazhong waved his hand dismissively, showing no mercy:
"And those who sang mediocrely or didn't generate any buzz, fast forward to them all!"
"What we need is high ratings! We need sensational moments!"
"This Angelica dahurica is our lifeline this season, it's the star of the show!"
"One second of her screen time is worth more than someone else singing an entire song!"
Wang Dazhong became more and more excited as he spoke, even pointing directly at the timeline:
"Here! Add a slow-motion replay!"
"Here! Add some special effects to the mentor's shocked expression!"
"And here, add a pink filter and bubbles!"
"If it weren't for the total runtime limit, I'd upload all of her footage without cutting a single second!"
"Hurry up and edit it! It's airing tonight!"
"Whether she can turn things around depends entirely on Miss Jiang's performance!"
The editing team leader swallowed hard, watching the director descend into a frenzy.
"Yes! We'll fix it right away!"
"Retouching team! Come here and retouch Ms. Jiang's footage down to the last strand of her hair!"
The entire server room instantly sprang into action!
