Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

After Ling Wushuang got into bed and covered herself with the blanket, she heard Gu Zhoubai sighing:

"The only real friends in the camp are probably the two of us. Jiangxi Heng and Xie Xingyan are a fabricated couple, Kong Sui and Xu Yanqing are longtime friends from the same company, and Ding Xuzhe and Yu Shen... let's not talk about that."

"Wu Shuang, you accompanied me on the show and helped me get so much screen time and generate so much buzz. Saying thank you would feel like an insult to our friendship."

Gu Zhoubai turned his head and said solemnly, "Don't talk about helping me debut. Even if there are only two spots left for the contestants, I hope it will be you and me."

Ling Wushuang, with her eyes closed, said, "Do you think Xie Xingyan and Jiangxi Heng are pushovers?"

Gu Zhoubai chuckled and said, "I don't care if they're vegetarians or carnivores, the finals are coming up soon, and we'll all be opponents! Thinking about how everyone's an opponent, and how all the friendships are fake, and only the two of us are true friends, gives me a strange sense of pride~"

Ling Wushuang: "Go to sleep."

Gu Zhoubai wanted to continue speaking.

Ling Wushuang said without room for argument: "Sleep."

Gu Zhoubai had no choice but to turn back and close his eyes: "Okay, goodnight Wushuang. I hope we can get good results tomorrow."

Ling Wushuang then opened her eyes and turned her head to quietly glance at Gu Zhoubai.

The dorm room next door.

Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou couldn't sleep, so they went to the balcony to look at the stars and the moon, shivering in the cold wind. In the end, Jiangxi Heng grabbed them by the collar and dragged them back.

Chi Ziyou: "Waaah, we're definitely going to be eliminated tomorrow. No matter how you count, we're not going to make it into the top 11."

"Unless someone withdraws from the competition, someone breaks their leg, or someone's ranking drops drastically," Fang Weiyang said expressionlessly, listing various unforeseen events, and finally concluded, "That's impossible. Just accept your fate."

Xie Xingyan brought over two cups of hot water and silently handed them to the two of them. He moved his lips and awkwardly uttered, "Don't accept your fate."

Chi Ziyou and Fang Weiyang looked up at him and chuckled.

Jiangxi Heng stood behind them and said, "If you two can't sleep, go play in the practice room. Don't disturb Ayan's sleep."

Xie Xingyan looked at Jiangxi Heng, and a hint of melancholy appeared in his beautiful fox-like eyes.

Before Jiangxi Heng could take a closer look, he heard Xie Xingyan say, "Jiang Xiheng worked out for a long time today, so don't disturb his rest. If he can't sleep, I'll accompany you to the practice room to practice dancing?"

Jiangxi Heng was taken aback; something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou, leaning against each other, exchanged a knowing "Yo," openly displaying their affection.

"One says not to disturb his sleep, the other says not to bother his rest, tsk tsk tsk..."

Xie Xingyan was startled, a blush spreading across her snow-white cheeks, but then, as if remembering something, it faded instantly, leaving her pale.

Jiangxi Heng frowned slightly. The uncontrollable commotion made him re-examine the relationship—had he crossed any boundaries that led others to overthink things, and would it cause unnecessary problems for the subsequent separation?

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.

"At 2 a.m. in winter, you're out on the balcony in your pajamas. Do you want to face the audience in your worst condition the next day?"

One sentence led Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou to bed.

"Going to sleep."

Xie Xingyan watched this scene intently, trying to learn the methods and approaches men use to solve problems.

Gentle yet assertive.

He didn't know if anyone would break a leg or drop in rankings tomorrow, but he knew someone would withdraw from the competition.

……

"Now we announce the fourth rankings. Out of 22 players, only 11 have secured a spot in the finals."

"They are...

With the number of participants decreasing, the announcement of this ranking was particularly swift and decisive.

"First place: Zhou Lehui."

GG the Prince is the most stable one in the top tier. He has a strong background and great strength. However, before this, he was always second or third. This time, he finally got first place.

Zhou Le smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Thank you to my fans, thank you to those who created me. It is your hard work that has brought me to this position. I will protect this position and not let anyone take it from me!"

The camera then cleverly focused on Gu Zhoubai, and Shi Zhongyu immediately announced that Gu Zhoubai was the runner-up.

The contestants were not surprised by this result. After all, Gu Zhoubai had the most votes in the team during the fourth performance, but the team's overall performance was too poor, which dragged him down.

However, everyone was surprised when the third place appeared.

[Xie Xingyan? Third place is Xie Xingyan?!]

[They were in eighth place last time, but they've made it into the top three this time?]

What's the production team up to? Are they trying to promote two aces?

In a team, there can be two lead vocalists or two lead dancers, but I've never seen two aces. There can only be one center position, which means there can only be one ace.

This is also why the production team initially chose to sacrifice Xie Xingyan for Gu Zhoubai's sake.

The second and third place winners were both ACE contestants. Gu Zhoubai and Xie Xingyan exchanged a glance, which, in the eyes of the audience, was like a thunderbolt, full of killing intent.

In fact, Gu Zhoubai's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, while Xie Xingyan's eyes were filled with calmness.

Standing in the crowd, Ling Wushuang looked surprised, then quickly fell into thought and turned her gaze to Jiangxi Heng.

He suspects that the change in the program team's decision-making is related to Jiangxi Heng.

"Next, I'll announce the fourth place," Shi Zhongyu said with a smile, looking at Jiang Xiheng: "Xiheng, do you remember your desired ranking?"

Jiangxi Heng took the microphone: "I remember, fourth place."

"Congratulations on getting fourth place!"

Jiangxi Heng calmly took the microphone: "Thank you everyone for voting for me. I will not let you down. Please wait for me. I will stand on a new peak, the highest mountaintop, to meet you all."

Unbeknownst to anyone, an hour earlier, Jiangxi Heng had already reached some kind of consensus with the production team.

In the early morning, all the cameras in the camp were still operating silently.

Jiangxi Heng quietly left the dormitory and tapped the camera: "I need to speak with Director Cai."

After the highway accident, Jiangxi Heng and Cai Fu gradually became familiar with each other, and he would usually go directly to Cai Fu when he needed something.

The two found a room and sat down.

Director Cai yawned, sipped his goji berry tea, and asked, "Xiao Heng, what brings you here so early in the morning? Do you want to know my results beforehand?"

Jiangxi Heng joked, "Is that okay?"

Cai Fu waved his hand: "Of course not, I'm very fair."

Jiangxi Heng didn't continue the topic and said directly, "Director Cai, I want to withdraw from the competition."

Cai Fu slammed the thermos in his hand to the ground with a thud, instantly waking up from his drowsy state: "What did you say?"

Jiangxi Heng repeated, "I will withdraw from the competition after the rankings are announced."
