Chapter 199 The Group of Death? The Group of Guaranteed Admission!
And in the spotlight.
Jiang Bai was sitting comfortably, holding his phone horizontally in his hand, his body swaying slightly with each tap of his finger.
If you don't look closely, you might think she's nervously checking the lyrics or contacting her family.
But if you get too close...
You can then hear a faint sound effect coming from the phone:
"Unbelievable!"
"Amazing!"
Yes.
He was playing Candy Crush.
"This first group sang way too slowly..."
As Jiang Bai eliminated the little animals on the screen, he glanced at the broadcast screen on the wall out of the corner of his eye.
"They're not finished singing yet? This is so boring..."
His calm demeanor, as if "Mount Tai were collapsing before him and he could even find time to play games," appeared to others as unfathomable, confident, and the relaxed air of a top-tier player!
And in the corner of the lounge.
Two men carrying video cameras were whispering to each other.
According to the production team's setup, each dressing room typically has only one filming director.
But Nayoung's group is different.
Wang Dazhong specially arranged an extra camera position!
Cameraman A, using a standard camera position.
Responsible for filming panoramic shots and capturing the reactions of all participants.
Cameraman B, with his own camera position.
The direct order I received was—even if the sky were to fall, your camera must remain glued to Jiang Baizhi's face!
at this time.
Cameraman B had a perverted grin on his face, zooming in with the camera as if he wanted to capture Jiang Bai's profile while he was playing games with a cinematic quality.
"Tsk tsk tsk......."
"It's so beautiful."
"Even playing Candy Crush exudes elegance; those downcast eyes, those slender fingers..."
The cameraman, A, was supposed to be filming the trainees who were trembling with nervousness.
But as he filmed, the camera unconsciously drifted towards Jiang Bai.
Cameraman B noticed and immediately nudged him with his elbow, warning him in a low voice:
"Hey hey hey!"
"Hey bro! What are you doing?"
"Your job is to portray a group portrait! A cross-section of humanity! Go film other people!"
"Jiang Baizhi is mine! The director said I have exclusive privileges!"
Cameraman A looked reluctant, even a little aggrieved:
"I want to photograph other people too..."
"But look at those people, they all have such miserable faces, either their facial expressions are all distorted with nervousness, or they're shaking their legs. What's so interesting about filming them?"
"Nowhere else is this view more pleasing to the eye?"
Cameraman A refocused the camera on Jiang Bai, finding a tricky angle to capture a glimpse of Jiang Bai's snow-white neck and pearl necklace:
"Besides, the director said he wants to film more scenes with Jiang Baizhi."
"You take pictures of the front, I'll take pictures of the side and back."
"This is what you call showcasing the goddess's beauty from multiple angles and in all aspects!"
"It's for art! It's for ratings!"
"Anyway, the other people don't have many shots, so even if we film them, they'll all be cut!"
After listening, cameraman B actually found it to make a lot of sense.
"Alright."
"Then take a side shot, don't block me from taking a front shot."
then.
In the tense and suffocating lounge of Nayoung's team.
An extremely bizarre scene unfolded.
The remaining eleven trainees were anxious, praying, and practicing their songs.
The two cameramen, however, seemed like two obsessive, stalker fans.
Carrying the camera, they surrounded the "girl" playing Candy Crush in the corner, filming her from every angle.
Jiang Bai sensed the camera approaching and his fingers paused slightly.
But he didn't dodge.
She simply raised her head slightly, looked at the camera, and gave a helpless yet tolerant smile.
Then continue to lower your head:
"Nice, level cleared!"
Both cameramen missed a beat at the same time.
There was only one thought in my mind:
"This footage is definitely good enough to be included in the final cut!"
.......
Right now, in the backstage control room.
The battle in the first group has come to an end.
After much deliberation, Nayoung finally decided to eliminate three girls, leaving only one rock singer.
Director Wang Dazhong, watching the monitor, unscrewed his thermos, took a sip of water, and casually asked the music director beside him:
"By the way, what's the name of the song Jiang Baizhi reported today?"
The music director flipped through the list in his hand, his expression somewhat strange:
"Director, the song is called... 'Gently Tell You'."
"I checked the music library again, and this song isn't there; it's an original work."
"Tell You Gently?"
Wang Dazhong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Judging from this name... it's similar to the previous song, 'Baby'?"
"Another one of those soft, lullaby-like songs?"
"Tsk, this girl is planning to go all the way down the path of being a healer."
The assistant director next to him was a little worried:
"Director, this is a competition! Isn't this song too soft? We'll be at a disadvantage."
Wang Dazhong waved his hand, giving him a look that said, "You're still too young."
"soft?"
"You have no idea how explosive her song 'Love You' is!"
"Besides..."
Wang Dazhong pointed to Jiang Bai's face on the screen, a face that still shone even in the backstage corner:
"No matter what she sings, even if she's just chanting scriptures on stage, as long as her face is there, the ratings won't be bad!"
"This is the treatment of top celebrities!"
"Moreover, I believe Nayoung will protect her."
.......
Time passed slowly, and the second group of trainees had already taken the stage.
In the rest room of Na Ying's team, the atmosphere became increasingly tense as the number of people decreased.
There are now 8 people left in the house.
Apart from Jiang Bai, who was still playing Candy Crush, the remaining seven people were like lambs to the slaughter, restless and uneasy.
As everyone knows, only the third and fourth groups remain to perform.
And Jiang Baizhi must be in one of those groups!
This means that everyone has a 50% chance of being put in the same cage as this "Fourth-Tier Demon King" to fight!
"God bless, Buddha bless..."
A folk singer with only one turn on the stage was so nervous his legs were shaking.
"Please don't put me in the same group as her!"
"Being in her group means you're destined to be cannon fodder!"
however.
Amidst a chorus of wails.
A short-haired girl sitting at the other end of the sofa appeared unusually calm.
She was touching up her lipstick with a small mirror, looking relaxed, and even humming a song.
Her name is Zhao Xier. She is the strongest member of the Na Ying group besides Jiang Bai, and she got three promotions during the blind selection.
Someone nearby couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Zhao, aren't you nervous?"
"If Sister Na calls out names later and puts you and Jiang Baizhi in the same group, wouldn't that be like a clash of planets?"
"That's a fourth-tier Great Demon King!"
Zhao Xier slowly closed the mirror, a confident and certain smile playing on her lips, her eyes revealing a wisdom that seemed to have seen through all the tricks of variety shows:
"nervous?"
Why should I be nervous?
"It's fine if we're not in the same group, but if we were..."
"It's actually a good thing."
The surrounding students were all stunned. Was being in the same group as the big boss a good thing?
"Think about it, Teacher Na-young has the power to choose between two options."
"Jiang Baizhi is the ace; she will definitely advance, without a doubt."
"So here's the question."
Zhao Xier paused, a glint of light flashing in her eyes:
"If I were Ms. Na-young, how would I use this precious 'double selection right'?"
"Is it for a group where a bunch of noobs are fighting amongst themselves?"
"Or should we use it in the 'group of death' where the strongest teams clash?"
"Of course, it's a clash of titans!"
Zhao Xier pointed to herself, then to Jiang Bai in the corner:
"I'm a third-tier job advancement candidate, and she's a fourth-tier one."
"If the two of us are paired together, it'll be a battle of gods!"
"Teacher Nayoung would never be willing to eliminate a strong player like me who has just completed three job advancements!"
"So, as long as Jiang Baizhi and I are in the same group, Teacher Naying will definitely use that 'double selection right'!"
"Then, she and I will advance together!"
"This isn't a group of death, it's practically a guaranteed win group!"
"Of course, this only applies to me."
"As for you... well, let fate decide."
After listening, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, a strong person is a strong person no matter where they are!
They also want to become such strong individuals!
