She debuted after having a child with a celestial being.
Chapter 35 The Avengers
The lights in booth number six dimmed slightly, and the entire audience held their breath.
The LED screen lit up, and the stage turned into a deep blue, like the ocean.
The music blasted.
The heavy, synthesized electronic voice of "Listen to What I Have to Say" comes in waves.
A spotlight slammed into the center of the stage, and before the screams from the audience had even subsided, a second spotlight had already descended.
Two spotlights, two people.
Xiao He stood in the spotlight on the left, and Cai Kunkun stood in the spotlight on the right.
All seven members of the team, regardless of whether they are in the center position, the rap role, the vocal role, or the peripheral positions, wear the same black suit with a waist-cinching cut and shoulders that look as if they have been cut with a knife. Each suit has been modified to fit the waistline according to each person's body shape.
A white shirt with one button undone at the collar, black Doc Martens boots on the mirrored floor.
As soon as the seven people stood on the stage, someone in the first row of the audience blurted out, "The Avengers!"
This sentence was picked up by the microphone next to him, and the live comments instantly flooded in like a waterfall.
"This group doesn't even need to say a word; they've already won just by standing there."
Zheng Ruibin was the first to step out of the queue.
The top student from the Musical Theatre Department of the Central Academy of Drama opened the show with a dramatic and theatrical introduction. His finger slowly descended from mid-air, as if drawing a crack in the darkness. The captivating performance, brimming with dramatic tension, immediately presented a fresh perspective completely different from the other groups.
The next second, the lights exploded into a blinding white.
Cai Kunkun rushed out of the queue, this was the first time he had dressed in black during his Idol Producer career.
After suppressing all his eccentricities, the black suit accentuated his cold and sharp features, and with just one glance, he launched into a powerful opening act.
He was known as the "King of Opening Performances" during his time on "Asia's Got Talent." His performance during the typhoon was truly impressive. His black hair swung in arcs under the spotlight, and his aura was like a fully drawn bow.
When the first line came out of his mouth, the screams from the entire audience drowned out the accompaniment for a whole beat.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Gui, sporting a dreadlock, leaped onto the stage from the side and unleashed a barrage of his rapping skills.
Xu Shengen's low-pitched, husky flow then transitioned to Qin Fen.
When Qin Fen sang that sexy falsetto from his throat, the audience screamed.
Bu Fan's deep bass was placed at the very back. His voice was originally like a cello, steady and deep. When he was pushed up to sing "Listen to What I Have to Say" in the reunion, he only felt sorry for the original captain, Zhu Yun.
She once hid in the toilet and cried bitterly, but now she is uttering every word with utmost precision.
Shohe gave a perfect closing performance.
Meanwhile, everyone on stage struck the classic Sailor Moon hand gestures in a cute style, creating an adorable contrast that blew the audience away.
The trainees didn't know what the team had gone through, but they could tell just by looking at it.
Not a single movement was off-beat, and not a single person's gaze wandered.
When the seven people simultaneously took a step forward and froze in perfect unison, the entire No. 6 booth went from silence to explosion in an instant.
When the next episode aired, the comments section went crazy.
"The two kings march into battle."
"The Avengers have won too much."
"This group isn't called 'Listen to What I Have to Say,' this group is called 'Listen to What I Have to Say.'"
The interactive elements scrolled across the screen all night.
On Bilibili, a content creator made a high-energy mashup of this song with footage of Cai Kunkun and Xiao He's previous eliminations, which quickly climbed into the top ten of the entertainment charts that day.
Three related hashtags appeared simultaneously in the top ten trending topics on Weibo: "Xiao He and Cai Kunkun on the same stage", "The Avengers are winning", and "Zhang Yixing is the Chinese boy band".
On the mentor's panel, Zhang Yixing held his arms around the entire time.
As the last drumbeat landed, the movements of all seven people froze simultaneously, their chests heaving violently.
The mentors remained silent for a full three seconds.
Zhang Yixing put his pen on the table and leaned back in his chair: "This is the level of Chinese boy bands I want."
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the seven people on the stage one by one.
"This should be the most mature and complete stage performance from all the episodes of 'Idol Producer' so far. Xiao He and Cai Kunkun's collaboration showed me what idols should be like. It's not about fighting alone, but about two people leading a group of people. With less than three days left, they used their strength to silence all the doubters. This is what I've been talking about as balance, not just the balance of the movements, but also the balance of the team."
Ouyang Jing's eyes lit up under the brim of his hat.
He was the vocal coach for the entire song, and he pointed out during rehearsals that the rap part of this song was the most difficult part of the five original singles.
He looked at the figures on the stage who had just been pulled back from the brink of elimination, and remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"I won't go into the technical stuff. You guys developed a team spirit that others couldn't achieve in two weeks in just two days."
He took off his hat and held it in his hand.
"That's a miracle."
Lee Ronghao remained as taciturn as ever: "That feeling of mutual support and complete trust between you—that's something you can't train. You can practice rhythm, you can practice breath control. But you can't train team spirit."
Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong exchanged a glance and clapped simultaneously. Cheng Xiao put down her pen and whispered, "That was really tough." Zhou Jieqiong nodded in agreement, and the applause had been continuous from the beginning.
Looking at the people on stage, Wang Jiaer said, word by word, "Every great performance should be like a story, with a climax. Today, the climax of your story is the moment when the seven of you stood on this stage."
On the day the pure version of the single was released, the number of clicks continued to climb, making it the fastest-growing program on major music platforms at the same time.
Someone on Douban wrote a long review: "Speechless. I personally think this was Cai Kunkun's best performance, and his dance was also at its best. In his rendition of 'Listen to What I Have to Say,' Cai Kunkun's hip thrusts were absolutely amazing."
"These two were voted out by their original teams and thrown into a rudimentary group with less than three days of practice left. Everyone was waiting for them to be crushed by Yuehua Seven. Then they turned around and built a city."
[Weibo Post] @EntertainmentGuaGe
#Listen to What I Have to Say on Stage# Many people are focusing on @CaiKunKun's black hair and hip thrusts, but I suggest you rewind to 2 minutes and 10 seconds and listen carefully to @XiaoHe's look after he finishes the first line. That sense of control, like "I've already got the stage in my hands, you can do whatever you want," is a talent, something that can't be learned.
If Cai Kunkun was the fire that ignited the entire scene, then Xiao He, once he calmed down, was the true anchor of this group.
He really got this group going. #XiaoHeCaiKunKunOnTheSameStage##TheAvengersAreWinningSoMuch#
@ZERO-G-: Just a passerby. I hadn't followed Idol Producer before, but I saw this video on my homepage and clicked on it. I was stunned by the first sentence. Who is this trainee named Xiao He? His aura is so strong!
@InsiderGhost: Capital wanted to crush these two on the verge of elimination, and what happened? This should deserve a special page in talent show history, titled "The Avengers." #RealityIsAlwaysMoreExcitingThanTheScript#
@LightAndShadowHarvester: Let's have a rational discussion. Xiao He's performance in this show was completely unlike that of an individual trainee with zero fan base. His stage presence and center-position charisma reminded me of Wu Moumou at his peak (to avoid controversy, I won't start a fight).
