Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

The production team wasn't idle; taking advantage of the seven-day break for all the trainees, they quietly renovated and upgraded the practice room for the third performance.

The original ordinary walls have been treated with sound insulation and thickened, and the floor has been re-laid with non-slip professional dance flooring that is soft and quiet to walk on. The most obvious change is the brand-new floor-to-ceiling practice mirror that covers an entire wall.

Beyond the physical renovations, a complete set of professional-grade ultra-high-definition live streaming photography equipment was quietly installed in a corner. The lenses are densely arranged, covering all angles, and the brackets are uniformly and hidden, making them virtually undetectable unless you look closely.

The camera panned to the new look of the practice room, immediately sparking a discussion in the live chat.

Why did Hong Liu suddenly spend so much money renovating the practice room in the later stages of the show?

[This must have cost a fortune, right? Where did the stingy production team go? They've been so generous lately, they seem to have gotten richer and more extravagant.]

[Is it because the show became popular and made money? They're just spending the money they got from wherever they could!]

[Actually, that's not the case. Rumor has it there's a new, generous sponsor, but they're very low-key, with no official announcement or sponsorship. It's strange; I don't know what their motive is.]

[A careful observer will notice that every seemingly generous act by the production team is backed by hidden resources, while Hong Liu continues to maintain his stingy ways.]

In the practice room, six people sat around in the middle, with six copies of the lyrics and music of "Wild Stars" placed in the center.

They were waiting for the staff to set up the new equipment before playing the first version of "Wildfire".

Since he had nothing better to do, Jiang Zhiyu picked up a neatly arranged book of lyrics and music, glanced through it briefly, and then raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the full version of the song.

Lu Renjia, who was sitting cross-legged and looking around curiously, caught a glimpse of his expression and immediately became curious as well, picking up a book of lyrics and music to read.

At this moment, the staff member who was adjusting the equipment stopped what he was doing, turned around and asked softly, "Is everything ready here? Shall we play the original track now?"

Jiang Zhiyu looked up and met his questioning gaze, then nodded: "Let it go."

The staff member pressed the play button, and as soon as the intro started, it was immediately clear that the speakers in the practice room had been upgraded, resulting in excellent sound quality without any noise.

The intro opens with distorted electric guitar sounds, the melody is very catchy, and the heavy bass drum beats intertwine, giving it a wild and sharp feel from the start.

"Worldly standards arbitrarily define success and failure."

Wandering in the mud deserves to be treated coldly.

They say mediocrity is fate, and only being content with one's lot is what one should do.

I'm determined to break free from these shackles and tear this rigid signboard to shreds.

……

Endure all despair and break through all walls

We who stand against the wind radiate boundless light.

……

The planetary fire never dies in the wild.

Break through mediocrity and establish a new order

Undeterred by wind and rain

Tiny lights gather to ignite a prairie fire that stretches for thousands of miles

……

With a small body bearing all the hardships

"A single spark eventually ignites the entire world."

Listening to the demo alone, one might think it's just a typical upbeat rap song, but no one would have imagined that this song actually has the core message of turning the tide and breaking free from constraints.

I knew it would be exciting, but I didn't expect it to be this exciting!

[Jiang fans really made the right choice in selecting this song! After browsing through other live streams, this is still the one I'm most looking forward to!]

[What an inspiring little tune! Don't stop me, I'm going to run the 800 meters!]

[After hearing the initial version, I already want to fast-forward to the official third performance... no, I can't miss the fan meeting!]

So that's what "Wild Starfire" means! I love this song so much! Staying up all night switching accounts to vote every day was totally worth it!

After the song finished playing, Yao Wei couldn't help but gasp, "So exhilarating! I got goosebumps."

Lu Renjia nodded in agreement: "It has that feel of a hot-blooded male protagonist from a shonen manga."

The song is exhilarating, which also means that performing it is definitely not easy. To achieve this energetic yet not awkward balance requires meticulous practice and refinement.

Because a fan meeting was scheduled in the middle, and due to various factors, the practice time for the third public performance was also two weeks. At first glance, the time seemed ample, but the six songs on the third public performance stage all combined vocals, dance, and rap, making it a stage with all three parts extremely difficult. This was a different level of difficulty from the original stage of the second public performance.

"Shall we practice the lyrics and music individually first? Then we can discuss the parts based on what each person is best at." Jiang Zhiyu's gaze swept over the paragraph markings on the lyrics and music book, which thoughtfully included notes on breathing points and accents. He then glanced at the other five people who were also focused on the lyrics and music.

"Reverse Wild Fire" has a high rap content, but if the rap is not controlled well, it will sound like reading. Therefore, allocating sections according to each person's ability to control the song is a more time-saving and labor-saving way, which avoids the trouble of changing parts later due to poor rhythm control.

Jiang Zhiyu had a general idea of ​​the abilities of Lu Renjia, Yao Wei, Yu Jin, and Shen Fengyu, but he was relatively unfamiliar with Dong Fa.

Dong Fa knew he wasn't very familiar with the others, so he took the initiative to explain his situation: "Okay, I can memorize lyrics and music pretty quickly, but my sense of rhythm in rap isn't that good. I might have to ask you guys for help if I have any problems later."

As teammates on the same stage, sharing both glory and loss, helping each other is a given.

"You can ask me any questions at any time," Jiang Zhiyu said earnestly, his face serious.

I love watching talent shows because I love seeing these ensemble casts, all helping each other out!

This song is really difficult; I'm starting to get a little worried.

I remember Dong Fa; his sense of rhythm is indeed rather poor. What should we do? Someone, please help him!

[Jiang Jiang treats the whole world with such seriousness every day, which only makes me want to keep calling her cute.]

To be honest, for the nine members who need to attend the fan meeting, the third performance suddenly became hellish. They were already pressed wits just practicing for the third performance stage, and now they have to practice a group stage and a solo stage as well.

For the nine members who need to attend the fan meeting, these five days are not only for practicing the third public performance stage, but also for squeezing in time to rehearse the theme song stage for the fan meeting and prepare for their solo performances.

After familiarizing himself with the lyrics and music of "Reverse Wild Sparks," Jiang Zhiyu and Yao Wei arrived at the exclusive training room for the fan meeting stage at the agreed time.

Several people had already arrived in the practice room, and the air conditioning had just been turned on, making it feel a bit stuffy.

Ahn Joon-young lay sprawled on the ground, fanning himself with his hand while muttering, "Turn the air conditioning down a bit, guys, I desperately need more cool air right now."

Deng Sushui glanced at him disdainfully and smirked, "If you hadn't sprinted the 100-meter dash to say you wanted to be the first one there, it wouldn't be so hot."

Lying on the floor, basking in the coolness of the floor, Ahn Joon-young's eyes widened, his face full of accusation: "I was actively participating in extracurricular activities!"
