The first round of voting ended soon.
The moment the results were announced, naturally some people were happy and some were sad.
Under the stage, there are staff, staff, and journalists specially recruited to promote this sixteen-person performance. Compared to the worries of the little idols on the stage, the attitudes of the adults off the stage seemed a lot calmer. They obviously already understood what the so-called sixteen-person performance was, and it was just business.
The names were read one by one, and the girl whose name was read was relieved, with a happy smile on her face. The girl whose name was not read naturally stood on the stage with a heavy face and a stiff body. As the number of places was reduced one by one, the expressions became lower and lower, until the last place was confirmed, some girls even had tears in their eyes, but they just held back the tears.
Yes, this is just a rehearsal, but so what?
The frustration and loss caused by elimination are real, and so are our own shortcomings and regrets, which cannot be easily brushed aside with a rehearsal.
They are the ones who stand out from the selection process of tens of thousands of people, and they carry the pride of the winner. The more proud they are, the more unforgettable their failure will be.
Unlike the future, which has long been the calmness of veterans, the young idols at this time are still at the beginning of their idol careers, and the immature girls, almost everyone is holding their breath and rushing forward. Falling behind and failing are extremely serious signals in the eyes of girls at this time. Just like students in the examination room, scores are the criterion for everything.
In fact, when they grow up and look back, they will find that in their idol careers, the performance of sixteen people is actually more important than the result of the sixteen people's performance——
I just don’t understand it now.
I can't understand that this kind of words always sound ironic and self-comforting for a loser, at least to Matsumura Sayuri.
Yes, she was one of the people who unexpectedly failed in this rehearsal.
This result was unexpected for both herself and other members.
You must know that in terms of handshakes, Silly Apple has always been among the best among the members at this time; in terms of popularity, although the cuteness is a bit too much, the natural cuteness is enough to kill many otakus in an instant, and the popularity remains high; round variety shows, dog fighting Their performance has never been bad, and the famous scene of the Fried Chicken Sisters is an eternal classic——
Even in the selection of singles since her debut, the girl has always been ranked as a blessing. It can be said that the journey has been smooth with almost no obstacles.
It is such a girl who seems to be basically impossible to be eliminated, but unexpectedly failed in this rehearsal, which has to be surprising.
After all, for young idols, judging whether their performance is excellent or not can only be analyzed from these aspects. Sayuri Matsumura, on the other hand, obviously does not belong to the group of poor students.
From the moment he realized that he had lost the election, Sayuri Matsumura seemed to have a big bell suddenly roaring in his mind, and his head was buzzing. After that, he heard nothing. Even his movements when he stepped off the stage were muddled, and his nose It was filled with a sour and sad taste. After arriving backstage, I finally couldn't help it, covered my face and sobbed softly.
This is the most painful defeat for a girl since she started her idol career. As a member of the selection team and a lucky god, she actually lost out in a sixteen-person performance! Although this is just a rehearsal, the so-called relationship performance, but perhaps it is precisely because of the relationship performance that the blow to the girl is even greater.
'Why did you lose? Obviously I have worked hard, practiced and prepared, nothing has fallen behind, I have been practicing desperately, but why did I still lose? 'The girl questioned her in her heart over and over again, but the more she questioned and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and sad she felt.
Tears fell down like broken beads.
The answer I thought about over and over again was so shocking.
'Is it because there are more people on staff who don't like me? It must be like this, it must be because there are more people who don’t want to work with me, right? This is the result of the vote. This is the fact, right? '
'Haha, it turns out that I have been hated for a long time. No matter how many fans I love, there are actually many people who don't want to work with me. I just haven't noticed it yet -'
'It seems that I am not suitable for this job at all. '
'I'd better stop doing it. '
'I'd better...don't show up here. '
Extreme thoughts appeared in my mind one after another, as if falling into the darkness of the endless night.
...
Not far away, a few minutes later, Mai Shiraishi, who had waited until the order was read out before leaving the stage, was looking around backstage. She finally found a certain girl who had been silently worrying about her on the stage before, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, seeing the other person leaning against the wall and crying, I felt anxious again. I quickly pulled a certain Hokkaido girl down beside me and wanted to rush over to comfort me. However, as soon as I took half a step, I was stopped by a tall figure. Stopped.
"Baiyun-san?"
Shiraishi Mai looked up in surprise.
"Don't go over there yet, just let me go over and have a chat with her. Don't worry, it will be quick."
Baiyunshan glanced at the two of them and said calmly. Without waiting for their answer, he strode towards the direction of the girl.
"But--"
Shiraishi Mai was still nervous and concerned. Just when she was about to continue saying something anxiously, she was pulled by her friend beside her and interrupted her speech.
"Wait a moment. Baiyun-san must have deep meaning in doing this. If it doesn't work, it would be the same if we wait and go over to comfort him." Hashimoto Nanami, who was also a little worried at first, calmed down at this time. He glanced at someone's back thoughtfully, and then said: "Change clothes first, then the highlight of this performance -"
The girl who always trusted her friends beside her could only nod hesitantly and seize the moment to take action, but her eyes still glanced there from time to time, with uneasiness on her face.
...
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this?"
The girl who was crying uncontrollably by the wall suddenly heard such a sentence and subconsciously stopped crying. She gently raised her head and saw a familiar face.
Lazy and casual, but looking at it at this moment makes me feel inexplicably at ease.
"Baiyun Sang..."
Matsumura Sayuri only felt more aggrieved in her heart, and tears flowed out again. The thoughts that had been surging before came to her heart, and she felt that her emotions were a little broken. However, when she was about to say something, she was interrupted by the other party. .
"Do you feel like you're being disliked?"
Baiyunshan narrowed his eyes and said suddenly.
The girl opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Do you feel that most people here don't want to work with you?" Baiyunshan continued.
Matsumura Sayuri looked at him blankly, a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
"Do you feel that you are not recognized and liked by the staff?"
Baiyunshan continued in an orderly manner.
"Are you thinking that you are not suitable for this job at all?"
"Do you want to just stop doing it?"
"Do you think you can just leave and never show up again?"
"Are you thinking that you have already been admitted to college and can go to college smoothly, but in the end you gave up everything for your idol? Is it worth it?"
"Do you not know what to do at all? You don't even know what you should do in the future?"
Baiyunshan let out a breath, then smiled and said, "Is it the same as what I said above?"
A series of questions were full of profound meanings, and each sentence accurately attacked the girl's original extreme thoughts, leaving her speechless. However, those thoughts were explained so openly and calmly by the person in front of her, which made her have a different kind of feeling. Feel.
These thoughts, in the tone of the other party's simple words, seemed so trivial, unreasonable, and even a little... funny?
If you suddenly clear away the messy emotions and think calmly, you will find that this seems to be the case. The reason why those extreme thoughts are extreme is that they are just the product of temporary emotional excitement. As long as you calm down, many problems will actually be solved.
After a series of questions, the girl who asked the question didn't even have a chance to say half a sentence. She could only look at the other person blankly, as if there was a stone suppressed in her chest, and she couldn't breathe out at all. It was so depressed that it was uncomfortable. But at this time, the stone disappeared and became empty.
It makes people feel confused.
After a long while, the silent girl suddenly spoke. She didn't know when she stopped crying, but the tear stains on her face were still there, which looked a little conspicuous.
Matsumura Sayuri wiped away her tears, snorted, lowered her head uncomfortably and said, "Baiyun-san, what are you talking about? How can anyone think of so many weird things? This is just a performance by a relationship person. , it’s not time for the main episode yet, you look down on me too much, Sayuri, right?"
"Oh, is it so?"
Baiyunshan had obviously expected this answer. He just pretended to be surprised, then touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "But, if that's the case, that would be great -"
The girl's heart suddenly trembled, and she suddenly raised her head, but could only see a fleeting mysterious smile on the other person's face. She bit her lip, but said nothing more.
"Besides, I'm very happy that you can regain your strength and not take this failure to heart like this, Baiyun-san."
Baiyunshan smiled and patted her shoulder to show encouragement, and said: "I just made random guesses. You don't need to take it to heart. In fact, some of them don't make sense at all, right? For example, do you feel that here It’s obviously wrong that most people don’t want to work with you. Because I was in the audience when the vote was held, and I voted for you——”
Sayuri Matsumura looked at him blankly.
Bai Yunshan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Not to mention, there is no such thing as most people not wanting to work with you. Even if there is, I still voted for you, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether others vote for you or not, but it is enough for you to at least have my vote, because no matter whether other people support you or not, Baiyun-san, I will definitely support you, right?"
The girl's lips murmured obviously: "Narcissistic!"
"Just think I'm narcissistic."
Baiyunshan chuckled, not caring at all, and suddenly sighed, and said meaningfully: "Originally, I was a little worried, worried that you would have an emotional breakdown or even cry because of the negative consequences of losing this time! Now it seems that my worries are unfounded——"
"Bai Yunsang, you look down on me too much!"
Matsumura Sayuri said in a muffled voice, seemingly still complaining, but from an angle that could not be seen clearly, the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised unconsciously.
"yes--"
At this point, Baiyunshan paused, smiled relaxedly, and said with emotion: "If I have time to collapse, I might as well have a barbecue!"
