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

- [Has the Shining Project Shined Yet?] Forum

#Oh my god, something's happened#

【? 】

What happened?

Who got into trouble?

……

[OP, please say something! I'm so anxious! What's wrong?!]

Could what I heard be true...?

……

[OP: Sorry I'm late, I was just analyzing this with a friend. Here's what happened: around noon, when I was with other fans waiting at the entrance to keep them company on their way to work, we saw several men in hats go in, and they haven't come out yet.]

【？？】

Is this the hat-wearing uncle I'm thinking of?

—【OP: Yes.】

[What does this mean? Does it mean Hong Liu is going to be arrested just a few days after the show started airing?]

Why is that?

Please, please, don't let this involve trainees...

[So far, there have only been cases of morally bankrupt individuals in the talent show world, never any precedent of legal violations. Shining, don't break that record...]

Am I the only one worried about safety? My child is still in their hands!

—【I... am actually a little panicked too.】

Could it be some kind of routine safety check? Or some other normal work procedure?

—【That's possible. After all, it's a big program, so they might do some routine interviews.】

—[I hope this is it, please bless.]

[Oh my god, everyone, look at the building next door!]

#That hat-wearing uncle melon is related to Jiang Zhiyu#

[Original Poster: It's still in the confidential stage. This is a big deal and has alarmed many people. That's all I can say for now.]

What happened to Jiang Huang?

No, I don't believe it.

[I remember the original poster; they were the real gossipmonger.]

Wow, that's amazing.

[I've already frantically checked Jiang Zhiyu's top fan pages, but haven't seen any activity from them.]

Seeing the phrase "This is a serious matter, and it has alarmed many people" already made me feel disheartened...

[The person who was having fun said, "Oh no, that sister who always says Jiang Huang has no die-hard fans has finally shown up."]

[I feel like a huge wave of fan wars is about to break out, whether it's fan abuse or fan exodus. I'm scared. Please, please don't let this affect my idol.]

……

[Jiang fans, don't overthink this. At least your personal safety is not a problem. At noon, the fan site admin took a picture of Jiang squeezing through a narrow gap (jiang.jpg)]

—[I burst into tears, I was on tenterhooks all afternoon, and I almost bought a plane ticket and rushed over.]

—【My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally eased a little…】

—May God bless this child and grant him all the best.

—[On a side note, he looks so handsome even from such a tricky angle, I'm drooling.]

[Does the original poster mean to keep it confidential for now and release an official announcement later?]

[It needs to be made public; this can't be suppressed.]

[Dry climate.]

……

[It's Jiang Zhiyu's popularity that's driving all the attention; with this scandal, nobody cares about Xue Guang anymore.]

—【After all, he is the River Emperor.】

Mi Lan and Lin Sen escorted Jiang Zhiyu all the way to the vicinity of the training room before leaving. He then encountered Wei Shuang in the corridor.

Kui Shuang leaned against the wall of the corridor, holding her cell phone and making a call with her head down.

His voice was low and urgent. When he saw Jiang Zhiyu coming over, he subconsciously turned to the side to avoid his gaze.

He then quickened his pace, said a few hurried words, hung up the phone, put his phone in his pocket, nodded to Jiang Zhiyu as a greeting, and then quickly left.

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at him, asked no further questions, and walked straight into the training room.

The training room was still empty; there weren't many people like him who would hastily finish lunch and return to the training room.

Jiang Zhiyu turned on the music, put on his headphones, and began practicing singing.

He had already memorized the melody and lyrics of "The Unopened Letter," and at this moment he was just polishing his singing skills and adjusting his breath. His voice was clear and crisp, and it was particularly clear in the quiet training room.

After an unknown amount of time, the door to the training room was pushed open, and Yu Wen walked in.

Yu Wen saw Jiang Zhiyu practicing, but didn't disturb him. She tiptoed to her spot, put her things down, and waited until Jiang Zhiyu finished singing a section and took off his headphones before going over to him.

"Still practicing?" Yu Wen asked.

"Yeah, let's familiarize ourselves with the melody." Jiang Zhiyu looked at him. "Have you finished eating too?"

"I've finished eating, but I don't have much of an appetite." Yu Wen sighed, still feeling somewhat helpless as he thought about what happened in the cafeteria earlier. "Thank you so much for today. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"I already said you're welcome." Jiang Zhiyu smiled. "Instead of dwelling on this, you should focus on practicing. The first public performance is coming up soon, so don't let these things affect you."

【What's wrong? I have sensitive skin right now, I can't stand hearing anything.】

Could it be related to that hat-wearing uncle incident?

[Judging from Jiang Zhiyu's words, it does seem like it's not a big deal.]

【Wait, how did Yu Wen get involved?】

[Stop speculating in the comments, let's wait for an official announcement.]

Yu Wen nodded, his eyes becoming serious: "You're right. By the way, I just thought about the positioning and stage design for our performance, and there are a few things I'd like to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu immediately became interested: "Perfect timing, I also have a few things I'd like to adjust. Tell me your thoughts."

The two sat cross-legged on the floor in the center of the training room, away from the live camera, and began to have a serious discussion.

"First, let's talk about the opening formation. I think the original design of standing side by side was too ordinary and lacked any highlights. How about changing it to staggered and overlapping formations? With the lights sweeping across them one after the other, it will create a stronger sense of depth." Yu Wen took out his phone, flipped through his notes, and pointed to the sketches on them.

Jiang Zhiyu looked at it carefully, thought about the stage effect, and nodded: "Okay, this design is good. We can also arrange some sofas or bar stools so that some can stand and some can sit during the entrance and ending, which creates a better atmosphere than having everyone stand side by side. Also, for the chorus, could the dance moves and positioning be a little more compact? The current positioning is too scattered, making the stage look empty."

"I also think the positioning is scattered. I just thought of something and decided to combine the two turns in the middle into one. Four people move to the left, four people move to the right, and then turn around at the same time, which will be right on the beat. This way, it will be both compact and in line with the rhythm," Yu Wen said, and even got up to demonstrate the movement to Jiang Zhiyu.

Jiang Zhiyu followed his movements and tried it out, then nodded: "Okay, this adjustment is very suitable, the rhythm is just right. As for the stage design, I think the background screen can be changed to cool-toned lighting, which would match the style of our song better. Warm tones are too soft and don't bring out the tension of the song."

"That's right, I also think a cool color scheme is better, especially for the chorus. Adding some flowing light and shadow effects to the background screen, combined with our movements, will definitely improve the stage effect a lot." Yu Wen agreed wholeheartedly. "I'll talk to the stage designer from the production team later to see if we can make any adjustments."

"And the ending is also a bit stiff. The original freeze-frame was too rigid. Let's change it to an interactive action, where two people can interact with each other and then look back at the audience at the same time, and the lights dim. This would make the ending more effective," Jiang Zhiyu suggested.

Yu Wen's eyes lit up: "This is great! It's much better than the original ending. It's interactive and doesn't drag. Let's go with this one."

The two talked back and forth, discussing and adjusting everything from positioning, movement, and dance moves to stage design and lighting coordination.

When disagreements arise, we try them together to see which works better, completely immersing ourselves in the practice and discussion, leaving all previous trivial matters behind.

Other group members arrived one after another, sat down around Jiang Zhiyu, and joined the discussion, each contributing their own thoughts.

Time passed slowly, and the rain outside the window continued to fall, the sound of raindrops hitting the ground kept out of the training room.

Xue Guang did not appear all afternoon.

Jiang Zhiyu stopped practicing midway and got up to go to the restroom.

The restroom was in the corridor next to the training room. It was very quiet. He had just finished washing his hands when he caught a glimpse of figures passing by outside the window. It was the same group of people in police uniforms and suits from before.

They came out of the office building and were talking to the person in charge of the program, but the specific content was unclear.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't linger. He wiped his hands, turned around, and went back to the training room. But he knew that this matter was probably about to end.

Sure enough, as dusk approached, staff members came to the training room looking for Jiang Zhiyu.

He looked up from the lyric book and, under the watchful eyes of others, followed the staff out the door.
