Chapter 243 Everything is left unsaid

Music variety shows are not just competitions, but also a bridge for musicians to move from the rehearsal room to a bigger stage.

Many musicians actually lack such an opportunity for exposure, and Yu Wei deeply understands this after becoming a regular guest on "Music Blind Box".

In a sense, this show is still successful. It doesn't concern you with winning or losing; you just cherish every opportunity to sing.

This pure passion is perhaps the most cherished original aspiration for musicians.

"Notify the sound team that the main sound reinforcement system needs fine-tuning. The venue is too large, and the mid and high frequencies will be attenuated at a distance."

After the four guests met, Cheng Xu finally appeared before them.

The fact that he made such a big fuss over the finale of a show shows that he still has some ambition.

The show's ratings are very good, at least much better than the show that followed, "Beyond Class". Under such circumstances, most directors would definitely stick to one path and play it safe.

A sudden change in style is not necessarily a good thing for variety shows. Audiences can accept a mediocre ending, but a final revision will either be brilliant or anticlimactic.

However, Yu Wei personally feels quite good about it. Many shows are filmed one episode at a time and then moved on, so he rarely goes back to watch them.

A variety show centered around ordinary people, which eventually brings all of them back together, is quite interesting in its design. I just don't know how it will turn out.

Yu Wei had previously heard that the last two episodes would be broadcast live, and the news was true. The performances of episodes 11 and 12 would be filmed in one night and broadcast live online.

As for the other program content, it will still be edited and broadcast as scheduled.

The format of broadcasting live first and then showing the full episode can easily wear down the audience's enthusiasm, but since their show is about to end, the impact can be ignored.

In other words, although the show was divided into two episodes, eleven and twelve, the performance segment was the same. He first sang a song with his "blind box best friends" and then sang a group song.

This isn't just a close friend, this is a workaholic! While others only need to practice one song, he practices two...

Contestants who weren't selected won't be ignored; it's just a matter of going on stage one after the other, which is quite reasonable. It would be too strange if someone who wasn't selected simply disappeared from the public eye.

To facilitate the recording of the blind box opening segment, the production team had set up a seating area for the guests in advance. The four guests sat down one by one, and the view was quite open.

This feels pretty good. I wish all twelve episodes could be filmed here. Which singer wouldn't want to sing on a bigger stage?
"Are the teachers ready? If so, let's begin."

Su Xinnan felt uneasy hearing the title "director." Four teachers—anyone who didn't know better would think they were musicians of the same caliber.

In reality, she was far inferior to the three of them in terms of both skill and popularity. Yu Wei was a given, but Meng Han and Lin Puyan were far superior to her.
In the past, it was fine when the show invited various popular celebrities as guest stars, because there was always someone to make up for it. But this time, they invited Lin Puyan, which clearly means she will be at the bottom.

As a non-professional musician, how could she possibly be worthy of singing on the same stage as these three masters? Su Xinnan was already prepared to become a casualty of this battle of the gods.

"Nan Jie seems to be the only one in the production team with perfect attendance so far."

Yu Wei and Meng Han both missed some episodes, but Su Xinnan diligently filmed ten episodes without missing a single one, and she was always exceptionally serious in her performances.

Although she is not a musician, her sincerity is beyond doubt. In comparison, Sister Nan is the real core figure of this program.

Su Xinnan thought it made sense; if the finale featured returning non-celebrity contestants, then she would undoubtedly have the most co-stars.

She responded with a relaxed smile, "Does Teacher Meng have any amateur contestants she likes?"

Yu Wei didn't ask anymore. Everyone knew who Yu Wei wanted to pick, so asking would only seem redundant.

To be honest, Su Xinnan was very surprised when she saw Yu Wei's gossip on the trending topics. She didn't expect this kid to have such a bright future. Not bad, not bad.

It's better for celebrities to start dating early, as audiences are more accepting of it. Once they reach their age, being pressured into dating can make it harder for them to accept it.

"I'll try my best to draw Fu Liang, the archer who plays bass in the athletes' episode."

There's also a duet, and Meng Han is definitely thinking of collaborating with someone who understands music. Among amateur contestants, that person is still a bit too much.

Lin Puyan couldn't participate in this kind of topic; it was his first time on a show, and he didn't know how the production team would arrange it.

The recording of the show officially began. This time, instead of giving them several blind boxes to draw from in turn, they took turns drawing their own blind boxes.

Su Xinnan was the first to step forward. The ten blind boxes in front of her were all different in appearance, and it was impossible to tell them apart from each other by their appearance. However, each blind box had a corresponding keyword.

The keywords this time are not anything else, but information corresponding to each episode featuring ordinary people. For example, "a customer with cat hair allergy" is most likely the episode where Sister Nan went to the pet store.

It's less about testing fate and more about testing tacit understanding; it all comes down to how both parties feel about that period of companionship.

If the guests genuinely want to interact with the amateur contestants, they can't possibly not know who the contestants are. If they're just going through the motions, they might not remember many details.

After careful consideration, Su Xinnan chose "restless little hands." Outsiders couldn't understand what this word meant, but she remembered it.

Actually, this was in the second episode. When she went to experience being an e-sports player, the coach made a joke about her because she couldn't accurately use her skills at all...

Her reason for choosing this was simple: that professional singer was indeed quite skilled and would be a strong partner.

Su Xinnan returned with the blind box, followed closely by Yu Wei, who stared into deep thought as he looked at his own unique blind box.

Because they are all his fans, the labels are quite similar, with six out of eight mentioning his novels, which left him feeling quite bewildered.

Why is it that I've only written books, but haven't I left any other impression on you?

The phrase "taught me to write books" clearly doesn't refer to Qi Luoan. Although he did teach her, given her personality, she certainly wouldn't mention it publicly. It must be Hu Xing.

Even the label "Number One Hater An An" might not actually be her; anyone can write a label, and it could be some other ordinary person stirring things up.

Given Qi Luoan's personality, she would definitely write an unexpected yet reasonable unconventional answer, after all, she is essentially an unconventional person.

Almost everyone present was eagerly awaiting Yu Wei's choice. With the situation escalating so much, they were all itching to indulge in some gossip and ship the couples, something they hadn't done in a long time. Yu Wei was a good junior in their eyes, and watching the younger generation fall in love was a unique experience…

The production team was actually the one most looking forward to him drawing Qi Luoan. The pairing of the two of them would definitely be the most popular strategy. If he drew someone else, the show's popularity would be much lower.

They assumed the couple would inform each other beforehand to ensure they could participate, and they accepted the accusations that the show was scripted.

But judging from Yu Wei's hesitant state, didn't the two of them communicate beforehand?
Their production team is just another part of a couple's play? If they make the wrong choice, they can just laugh it off, but what about the show's ratings?

Yu Wei finally made her choice. ".", the only keyword for this blind box is indeed a period.

Could he interpret this as meaning that everything is understood without being said?
Such a bizarre thing must have been done by Qi Luoan; no one else would do something like this.

Surely Lin Yuting couldn't have written a period because she couldn't see it, could she?

He was quite confident when he made the choice, but after making the choice, Yu Wei became a little nervous. Could it be that he was overthinking things? What if the "number one hater An An" was her?

She wanted to be chosen herself, so she wrote it very clearly...

If he made the wrong choice, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Qi Luoan got angry in a fit of rage, would he really kill himself?
"Hopefully mine will be easier to find."

The first thing Meng Han noticed was "Ning Jing Zhi Yuan" (宁静致远). These words didn't have any special meaning, but the handwriting was very elegant, clearly the work of a seasoned calligrapher.

He couldn't help but recall the stage performance he had once collaborated with the deaf calligrapher, and subconsciously ignored it.

Finally, he successfully chose "The bowstring twangs like thunder," which must be the archery athlete...

The rules are different for guest star Lin Puyan. Since the amateur contestants teamed up with the guest stars don't have fixed witnesses, his selection process will take place later.

"This production team really knows how to have fun. Okay, I'm the kind of person who loves to have fun."

Lin Puyan readily accepted. If he were to randomly choose someone he didn't know, he would feel awkward, since he wasn't even part of that person's story...

The blind box opening officially began, but after seeing the figure that was noticeably shorter behind the light-colored curtain, Yu Wei's brain went blank for a moment.

What's going on? Isn't this a Qiluo An blind box?
Yu Wei was suddenly a little scared. Could it really be that he was over-interpreting things? He had been over-interpreted so many times, and now it was his turn to over-interpret others...

That shouldn't be the case. No one but her should be able to be so abstract, and he doesn't think he's ever seen that figure before.

Did you get the hidden item?

Not only him, but also Meng Han and Su Xinnan, the two people behind the curtain, didn't recognize it. Was this still "Music Blind Box"?

When the curtain fell, sure enough, there were several unfamiliar faces they had never seen before. The production team must have pulled this stunt.

"Guests, please come forward to find the location of your blind box friend, and then head to the destination to complete the challenge and form a team."

Yu Weiwen understood the implication. The show's finale seemed to be a reality show after all, with all the amateur contestants not appearing in front of them all at once, but rather being searched for one by one.

So the process of finding and forming teams is the main content of the show, right? No wonder.

Yu Wei was thinking that once everyone was together, they could just play as a team and then film the show. But he didn't expect that the whole process of the show was about finding teammates, and the final performance was the team battle.

I thought I had made the wrong choice; it scared me to death.

He took the task card from the staff behind the curtain and saw that the address was the bookstore where he and Qi Luoan had stayed in the first episode.

Yu Wei didn't dare to hesitate and set off with his photography crew.

Qi Luoan had been waiting for a long time on the second floor of the bookstore. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Wei arrive outside the window.

Thank goodness she didn't make the wrong choice, otherwise she would have cried...

Upon entering the house, Yu Wei was indeed greeted by Qi Luoan, but she had her back to everyone, looking inscrutable.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you right now."

Qi Luoan showed the program's task card, explaining that the process had to be completed first: "You have to complete the best friend challenge first."

Mini-game challenges, huh? Yu Weishu is quite familiar with this; he's watched quite a few variety shows.

The so-called challenge is nothing more than a music variety show challenge related to music. The challenge revolves around the theme of "hearing everyone's voice" and involves a song relay.

Only when the two contestants can successfully form a team by matching the last word of the amateur contestant's song with the next line can they be considered a successful team.

"This……"

Yu Wei really hit a weakness here. He had heard the songs here before, but they didn't leave a deep impression on him. He couldn't recall them for the time being because his repertoire was insufficient.

When it comes to songs, what you hear and hear most often is what you remember most deeply, and what he remembers most firmly is definitely the songs from his hometown.

Qi Luoan casually sang a line, "I fly towards you, the rain falls gently, like your embrace surrounds me." There are a lot of lyrics that start with the character "wei," he couldn't possibly not know that, could he?

"Um...do whatever you want."

"Don't make trouble."

This was indeed a simple opening; several photographers in charge of the shoot could recall a line or two.

How could Yu Wei, a seasoned musician, not remember?
"I transformed into a werewolf for you."

The staff were completely baffled. What song were these lyrics from? They'd never heard of them before…
