Chapter 3:
Can I change my destiny in one month?
Maybe it is a plot that often appears in fairy tales, but for Xingdou, this month is only enough for him to find a way to change.
The only channels for him to obtain information are the broken information in the dream, and the game forum that has not been running for a long time.
It is probably some kind of restriction, although Xingdou can read the content of the forum, but cannot post any words on it, it is a complete tourist state.
From the dream, he can know who the five-star characters are, the large-scale events that the academy will hold, and the courses taught by the class, things that cannot be used as key factors for the time being.
Perhaps he could use these to exercise himself earlier than others and gain the praise of his teachers and classmates at the beginning, but this has a limit after all.
The biggest difference between a one-star character and a five-star character is growth.
Five stars represent the potential to become a superstar, and represent the absolute height that can be reached in the future.
On the contrary, there are too few things that one star can obtain, limited development, curses that are destined to be unable to go further, and established not to be paid attention to. Just like in that dream, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get recognition.
If he just wants to overwhelm them by simply relying on the lessons he has learned before, it won't work.
This approach will fail in the middle and late stages. Those five-star characters, with their growth rate that is better than anyone else, will far surpass them and go to a place where no one can catch up. And he will definitely be dropped into the corner again.
Without growing up, he will only repeat the same mistakes.
In order to get out of this predicament, Xingdou spent a long time researching another opportunity - the game forum, in order to get the key to break through the shackles.
Finally, he got the answer - with all his might and the limelight.
This sounds rather arrogant, but it is indeed his only life-saving straw.
The game "Idol Breeding Academy" is run by highly intelligent AI, just like most games now, after the developer has made the basic settings, the follow-up is all controlled by AI process. After all, the operation method and strategy obtained based on the algorithm can be regarded as the optimal solution.
The developer only steps in when there is a major problem with the game. The official forum probably wants to show their dedication to the players, and it is managed manually.
The rules of the game managed by AI give Star Dou hope to try.
What the game plot shows to players is often the result of AI screening. Under the condition of imposing certain rules, let the characters of different personalities collide, communicate and fight with each other, and become a story that can be presented.
From the information given on the forum, players can choose one of the initial four five-stars, as a trainee agent, follow their perspective to play the game and watch the plot.
Good playwrights choose more story-driven developments, such as unexpected reversals, sudden changes, and the arrival of greater crises. People who can see the plot of the game will also prefer these stories, remembering the most important characters in them.
Xingdou decided to become a combination of the three, robbing himself of his place in the plot.
He has to be the protagonist of these guys. The obstacles in the plot, the reversal of the chance of winning, the crisis of pressure, and always firmly occupy the most threatening place, To get an impression, it will not be easily forgotten.
To achieve this step, first of all - need strength, the absolute strength of being able to crush the five stars who are still young at the moment.
According to the best training plan obtained on the forum, the black-haired and green-eyed teenager made a detailed schedule, changed clothes silently every day, and sweated in the training room.
Books on dance, script, and drama studies should be read carefully, thought carefully, turned into food, and become a natural expression and a bow next time.
Songs have to be sung thousands of times before they can even memorize the key;
Xing Dou knows that he is not that talented, he can't know it all at once, and he can't understand it all at once.
He was just a stupid bird trying to fly first on the way.
If a one-star character can only achieve such a limit, then he only wants, under such a limit, to reach a slightly higher end point and an inch higher.
Before you learn to walk, you must learn to fall, experience the pain, and remember the correct way to straighten your back and be firm.
It takes a thousand times to understand, so try a thousand times.
If you can touch the unreachable sun, even if you are shattered.
It took a short and long month to have this silent, hooded man who stayed in the corner.
When Xing Dou was sitting alone in the waiting room for the placement test, he glanced at it and knew who would successfully stay here and who would be overwhelmed and leave.
One-star, two-star, and three-star characters gather in this place, and with their longing and expectations for the future, they will go to the stage of the first test.
future.
All he can do is try his best to win even a moment's attention in this trivial place.
Standing on the stage that had not been seen for a long time, Xingdou shivered for a moment.
Under the slightly dazzling spotlight, I could only distinguish the solemn expression of the teacher under the stage, and the audience further away was empty, like a nightmare scene at midnight.
If those five stars who have long been noticed are standing here, at least it will not be such an empty scene.
The game stage promotional video released by AI is calculated based on the number of audiences and the positive emotions of the audience.
In other words, the more the audience, the more positive emotions the audience has when watching the stage, such as happiness, joy, excitement, etc., the more likely it will be included in the promotional video.
For five-star characters, this is a positive cycle. Because of their ability to attract attention, they will get more publicity opportunities, further attention, and more publicity resources.
Xing Dou understands that as an unremarkable star, it is impossible to get such an opportunity now.
In a sense, such a scene is the most familiar and calming to him.
As a qualified idol, you must not be afraid of the stage.
So he quickly calmed down, and with the rising music, danced out that dance-"Death of the Black Swan".
This dance star has been practiced so many times that he can even feel the mood of the black swan in the gap between each action, like himself a long, long time ago - warm , firm and never looking back.
In the last part of the interpretation, the original swan screamed sadly and struggled in embarrassment, but it still could not change the result and sank helplessly into the lake.
Xingdou doesn't like this ending, and doesn't want to be a swan that ends with such an embarrassing appearance.
So he changed his actions, gave up the useless struggle, and accepted his fate with an open-minded and quiet attitude.
But this kind of ending is not what Xingdou likes. Rather than falling halfway, rather than facing death calmly, he wants to be a black man who has broken wings and destroyed feathers and wants to reach the land of dreams. swan.
From the smiling nods of the teachers in the audience, he thought that he should have succeeded.
After leaving the stage, a strange guy caught up, said a few words inexplicably, and ran away in a hurry.
The guy who was still very young at the moment didn't know, Xing Dou had known him for a long time - Gong Caiyi, one of the only three stars in the waiting room.
Even if Gong Caiyi said something like "I like his performance", he couldn't believe it, let alone be excited or happy about it.
Xingdou understands better than anyone else that these high-star guys have terrifying talents and growth, and it won't be long before they appear on the stage again, and they will become completely different people.
At that time, the only person looking up from the audience will be him.
After leaving the stage, the sadness that appeared in the dream came up like a fountain. Although I understand that it is true that there is no audience, I can't help but feel sad.
Xingdou, who was hiding in the bed, wanted to laugh at his delusions, but in the end he just squeezed out a dry sentence in the hazy tears: "I'm so rude."
In any case, tomorrow will wait for the result, whether it is to enter Class C as in the dream, or because of his different actions, it all depends on tomorrow.
Idol Training College is a three-year teaching system, which is mainly divided into three categories: idol subject, general subject and business subject. The idol section is the idol reserve that idols volunteer for, and the general section refers to the discipline that cooperates with idol activities. Photographers, screenwriters, directors, lighting engineers, lyric composers, etc. often come from this discipline.
The management department is the special discipline of the agent who operates the idol affairs, and it is actually the player's territory.
There are four ABCDE classes in each subject, and the division rules are different every year, sometimes according to age, sometimes according to comprehensive strength, just like the previous one.
Xing Dou couldn't remember what the C class entered in the dream was divided according to what class, only remember that in the end of the competition, many people gave up their idol aspirations and switched to general subjects.
It may be a class that is likely to be dropped.
Thinking of this, he smiled wryly.
By convention, at 4:00 p.m., students will get their placement results and know who their class instructor is this semester.
But Xingdou waited and waited, and couldn't even watch the movie for appreciation.
What happened? Could it be that he made a change that caused an uncontrollable bug?
He checked his inbox over and over again, and his worry and anxiety began to swell.
"Ding dong", the unexpected knock on the door stopped the emotion and turned into doubt.
The guy who will come to him at this time...who?
Looking from the door, it seems to be a handsome blond and blue-eyed guy in a neat suit. He looks very familiar, and he can't remember the stars for a while.
Out of trust in the security of the academy, he hesitated, but opened the door.
"It's Xingdou classmate, right?" The person who came here smiled kindly, and the handsomeness that could be seen through the glass became more conspicuous.
"It's me. You are..." Xing Dou was a little shocked by the brilliance, nodded and responded obediently.
"Huh? Ah, do you recognize that?"
The blond man smiled, took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and instantly removed the forced gentleness, and the whole person's presence became stronger.
So Xingdou recognized it at once: "You are the top idol who was called 'stage master' ten years ago - Mr. Gong Guangxi!"
Speaking of this name, the boy with a cold expression opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, full of disbelief.
The man who almost reached the pinnacle of idols in the entertainment industry ten years ago, many idols now are constantly working hard for him. But this person has not appeared in the industry for a long time, and it is said that he has retired. Why did he appear at this time?
Wait, which class in the dream has Gong Guangxi as the class guide?
Xingdou found that those memories, like real dream fragments, were gradually fading away, making it difficult to remember.
"Excellent, I thought no one remembered me." Gong Guangxi put on his glasses, as if he was relieved, "As a class guide, it's not very common. Deterrent."
Tutor?
What flashed in the heart of Xingdou who caught this word: "You mean..."
"Well, that's right, I'm Gong Guangxi, who is going to be your class guide next." He smiled and filled out his words, and handed over a paper notice, "Because very I was curious about what kind of students will be taught next, so I personally came to inform."
"Thank you." Xingdou blinked, took the notice, and caught a glimpse of his name and the big "A" above.
This "A" refers to strength like the previous one? Or something else?
"Xing Dou and several others are from Class A." As if he knew what he was guessing, the class guide gave a timely explanation, "But this time, Class A It doesn't mean strength, but we'll talk about it when everyone is here. I'll send you the necessary notices, so remember to check them out."
"Also, Xingdou." After saying what was necessary, he suddenly leaned closer and lowered his head, "Next time, don't clearly disagree, but still show a generous gesture of sacrifice. looks like."
"That's not for you."
The former top idol who claimed to be the class guide, after saying what seemed like a warning, smiled and waved, and Shi Shiran left.
