Chapter 243: Everything Goes Without Saying
Music variety shows are not competitions; they are bridges for musicians from rehearsal rooms to larger stages.
Many musicians actually lack such an exposure opportunity. After becoming a resident guest on Music Blind Box, Yu Wei deeply felt this.
In a sense, this program is still successful. No need to worry about winning or losing, just cherish every singing opportunity.
This pure love is perhaps the original intention that musicians should cherish most.
“Notify the sound team, the main PA system needs fine-tuning. The venue is too large, and mid-to-high frequencies will attenuate at the far end.”
After the four guests met, Cheng Xu finally appeared in front of them.
Making such a big fuss in the finale of a program shows that he still has some ambition.
This program’s data is very good, at least much stronger than the following Chao Yue Ban. In this situation, a normal director would definitely stick to one path and play it safe.
Rashly changing style is not necessarily good for variety shows. A mediocre finale is acceptable to the audience, but a last-minute revamp is either divine or ends up anticlimactic.
However, Yu Wei personally feels it’s pretty good. Many programs shoot one episode at a time and rarely look back.
A variety show centered on civilians, finally calling back all the civilians at the end, is quite interesting in design. Just don’t know how the filming effect will be.
Previously, Yu Wei heard that the last two episodes would be in live broadcast format, and the news was true. The performances in episodes eleven and twelve will be shot in one night, with simultaneous online live broadcast.
As for other program content, it will still be edited and aired as scheduled.
The program format of live broadcast first and then the official episode easily consumes the audience’s enthusiasm, but since their program is ending, the impact can naturally be ignored.
In other words, although the program is divided into episodes eleven and twelve, the performance segments are all from the same event. He will first sing a song with his “Blind Box Close Friend,” then a big chorus.
Where is this a close friend? This is simply a model worker. Others only need to rehearse one song, but he rehearses two…
Contestants not drawn won’t be neglected; it’s just the difference of going on stage one after another. This is quite reasonable. If not drawn means they don’t exist, that would be too strange.
To cooperate with the recording of the blind box opening segment, the program team has already set up the guest seats in advance. The four sat down one by one, feeling the view was quite open.
This feeling is quite nice. If episode twelve was also recorded here, it would be great. Which singer doesn’t want to sing on a bigger stage?
“Are the teachers ready? If ready, we’ll start.”
Su Xinnan felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about the director’s address. Four teachers—those who don’t know might think they are musicians of the same level.
In reality, whether in standard or popularity, she is far behind the three of them. No need to mention Yu Wei; which of Meng Han or Lin Puyan doesn’t crush her?
Previously, the program team invited various traffic artists as guest performers, which was fine, always someone to back her up. This time inviting Lin Puyan clearly means she will be at the bottom.
She, a non-professional musician, what virtue or ability does she have to share the stage and sing with these three great gods… Su Xinnan was already prepared to be the sacrifice in an immortal fight.
“Sister Nan seems to be the only one with full attendance so far for the program team.”
Yu Wei and Meng Han have both missed sessions, only Su Xinnan diligently shot ten episodes, not only never absent, but every performance was exceptionally serious.
Although she is not a musician, her sincerity is beyond doubt. In comparison, Sister Nan is the true core figure of this program.
Su Xinnan thought about it and realized it was true. If the finale is civilians returning, her partners are undoubtedly the most.
She returned a relaxed smile, “Teacher Meng, do you have any favorite civilian contestant?”
She didn’t ask Yu Wei, as everyone knows who Yu Wei wants to draw; asking would seem superfluous.
To be honest, when seeing Yu Wei’s gossip on trending search, Su Xinnan was very surprised. She didn’t expect this kid to have a day of enlightenment. Not bad, not bad.
Stars should start romance early; the audience is more accepting. By their age, being set up makes it hard to back down.
“Me? Try to draw Fu Liang, the archer from the athlete episode who plays bass guitar.”
There’s also chorus; Meng Han must want to cooperate with someone who understands music. Among the civilian contestants, that one is still a bit overpowered.
Lin Puyan couldn’t join this topic; it was his first time on the program, and he didn’t know how the program team arranged it.
Program recording officially begins. This time, it’s not taking a few blind boxes for them to draw in turns, but going one by one to draw their own blind box.
Su Xinnan went first. There were ten blind boxes of various forms in front of her; you couldn’t tell who was who by appearance, but correspondingly, each blind box had matching keywords.
This time’s keywords were not anything else, but information corresponding to each episode of the civilians, like “customer allergic to cat hair,” which is most likely the episode where Sister Nan went to the pet store.
Rather than testing fate, it’s better to say testing tacit understanding, depending on how both sides remember that companionship period.
If sincerely getting along with the civilian contestants, the guest couldn’t not know who it corresponds to. If just going through the motions, many details indeed won’t be remembered clearly.
After weighing repeatedly, Su Xinnan chose “restless little hands.” Outsiders couldn’t understand what this phrase corresponds to, but she remembered.
Actually, this was from the second episode, when she experienced esports players, the coach teased her with this phrase because her skills were completely inaccurate…
Her reason for choosing this was simple: that professional player really has singing skills and is a strong partner.
Su Xinnan returned with the blind box, and Yu Wei followed closely, falling into contemplation looking at the blind box unique to him.
Because they are all his fans, the labels are highly homogeneous; six out of eight mention novels, leaving him very confused.
Why are they all about writing books? Didn’t I leave any other impression on you?
“Once taught me to write books” is obviously not Qi Luo An. Although he taught her too, with her personality, she definitely wouldn’t say this outwardly. This should be Hu Xing.
Even “number one black fan An An” may not be her; anyone can write the label, it could also be other civilians messing around.
With Qi Luo An’s personality, she would definitely write an unexpected yet reasonable outrageous answer, after all, she is essentially someone who stands out.
Almost everyone present was looking forward to Yu Wei’s choice. With the matter blown up so big, they also wanted to gossip and ship CP after a long time.
Yu Wei is a good junior in their eyes. Watching the young ones romance has a special flavor…
The ones most expecting him to draw Qi Luo An are actually the program team. Their pairing is absolutely the most popular playing style. If he draws someone else, the program’s popularity will drop a lot.
They thought the young couple would tip each other off in advance to ensure drawing each other. Even if accused of having a script, they would accept it.
But seeing Yu Wei’s hesitant state, did they not communicate in advance?
Their program team is just a part of the young couple’s play? If he chooses wrong, they laugh it off, but what about the program’s ratings?
Yu Wei finally made his choice, “.” This blind box’s keyword is really just a single period.
Can he understand it as everything is implied without words?
Such a quirky thing should be Qi Luo An’s handiwork; others shouldn’t do this.
It can’t be that Lin Yuting wrote a period because she can’t see, right?
He was quite certain when choosing, but after choosing, Yu Wei got a bit nervous. What if he overthought it, and that “number one black fan An An” is really her?
She also wants to be drawn by him, so she wrote it very obviously…
If he chooses wrong, it should be fine. Even if Qi Luo An gets angry in a fit, she won’t stab herself, right?
“Hope mine is easy to find.”
Meng Han spotted “serene and far-reaching” at first glance. These words have no special meaning, but the handwriting is very elegant, clearly from a veteran calligrapher.
He couldn’t help recalling the cooperation stage with the deaf old master calligrapher back then, subconsciously ignoring it.
Finally, he successfully chose “bow like thunder, string like shock.” This should be that archer athlete…
For guest performer Lin Puyan, the rules are different. Since the civilian contestants teaming with guest performers have no fixed witnesses, his selection will be later.
“This program team really knows how to play. Alright, I love playing.”
Lin Puyan gladly accepted. If really making him randomly pick an unfamiliar one, he would feel awkward; there’s no trace of him in their companionship stories…
The blind box opening segment officially begins, but after seeing the figure clearly shorter behind the light curtain, Yu Wei’s brain short-circuited a bit.
What’s this situation? Isn’t this Qi Luo An’s blind box?
Yu Wei suddenly felt startled. It couldn’t be that he overinterpreted, right? After being overinterpreted so many times, now it’s his turn to overinterpret others…
It shouldn’t be. Besides her, no one should be this abstract, and he doesn’t seem to have seen this silhouette before.
Drew a hidden edition?
Not just him, Meng Han and Su Xinnan’s two behind the curtain, they also had no impression. Is this still Music Blind Box?
After the curtain fell, sure enough, they were several unfamiliar faces never seen before. The program team is playing this, huh.
“Please guests come forward to get the position of Blind Box Close Friend, and head to the destination to complete the challenge and form a team.”
Yu Wei caught the meaning upon hearing. This finale seems truly a reality show. All civilian contestants won’t appear all at once in front of them, but they have to find them one by one.
So the process of searching and teaming up is the main content of the program, huh. No wonder.
Yu Wei was thinking once everyone is together, directly group battle. What would the program shoot? Unexpectedly, the program process is finding teammates, and the final performance is the group battle.
Thought he chose wrong, scared him to death.
He took the task card from the staff behind the curtain and saw the address was the bookstore from the first episode where he stayed with Qi Luo An.
Yu Wei didn’t dare delay and set off directly with his camera crew.
Qi Luo An had been waiting on the second floor of the bookstore for a long time. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yu Wei arrive outside the window.
Good thing he didn’t choose wrong, or she would cry…
After entering the room, it was indeed Qi Luo An waiting for Yu Wei, but she was facing away from everyone, appearing profound and mysterious.
“Sorry, can’t go with you yet.”
Qi Luo An showed the program team’s task card. The process must be completed first, “You need to complete the Close Friend Challenge first.”
Little game challenge, huh. Yu Wei is familiar with this; he’s watched quite a few variety shows.
The so-called challenge is nothing else; a music variety show’s challenge is naturally music-related, themed around “Hear Everyone’s Voice,” the challenge is Song Relay.
Based on the last word of the segment sung by the civilian contestant, continue with the next line, and the two succeed in teaming up.
“This…”
It really hit Yu Wei’s weakness. He’s heard the song here, but the impression isn’t deep; he really couldn’t recall it for a moment. Not enough repertoire.
Songs are best remembered through constant exposure; the ones he remembers most firmly are definitely hometown songs.
Qi Luo An casually sang, “I fly towards you, gentle rain falling, like your embrace surrounding me.” There are tons of lyrics starting with “wei”; he surely knows some.
“Uh… do whatever I want.”
“Don’t mess around.”
This is indeed a simple opening; even the few photographers shooting could think of one or two lines.
How could Yu Wei, a veteran musician, not think of it?
“For you, I turn into a werewolf.”
The staff were stunned upon hearing. What song’s lyrics are these? They haven’t heard of them either…
