Episode 309: The 3rd performance is coming up soon. What are your plans?
After yesterday's incident, the atmosphere among the band members became much fresher. After the cancer was removed, everyone loved each other very much, there was no more intrigue, and no one whispered behind their backs anymore.
Lin Pin'er was taken to the studio today to shoot a commercial advertisement for beverages. Jia Baoyu and Su Miaoyu both came to visit the set.
Su Miaoyu took advantage of the break to whisper to Lin Pin'er: "I dealt with him yesterday. When I was reviewing the film, I saw that when someone bullied you, even the girls did it, and he was the only one standing there in a daze."
Jia Baoyu came closer and just heard the last sentence.
"I'm not stunned. They're in such a tense situation, I can't add fuel to the fire. I'm the host and it's good enough that I don't maintain order. Am I going to start a quarrel? The key is that they don't listen to me. Don't you know..."
Su Miaoyu interrupted his chatter, her almond eyes widened slightly: "Have you forgotten what I told you? Your most important job is to protect Pin'er, and other things don't matter."
Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "With so many people protecting her, I don't have to worry about her now."
Lin Pin'er watched the two of them bickering and thought they had a really good relationship.

After yesterday, Park Min and several people who were exposed for saying bad things about Lin Pin'er were eliminated. At first, everyone thought that this program was a competition of professional skills, and then they thought that people who could recommend themselves were more popular. After yesterday, they found out that it was a competition of character. If you don't have character, you will not be selected by the team and will be despised by all members. After all, to form a band, you must have a team first, and then you can show your personal talent.
After several performances, the remaining contestants became familiar with each other. They visited each other during the breaks between rehearsals and occasionally squeezed into the same rehearsal room to play music for a while.
The theme of the third performance was announced: "What is your musical dream?" It is an original theme again, with a custom style of music, and it only needs to fit the theme.
Lin Pin'er led her band to hold a small meeting in the morning, and a new female lead singer joined the band. Lin Pin'er really only accepted female members, and now there is only one male among the many flowers, Beibei.
Their band also has a new name, which was given by Mr. Da Jun, the lead singer of the Fatty Band. Because this group of girls like Lin Pin'er and like to wear headscarves, they are called: "Headscarf Band". It's a really willful team name.
Lin Pin'er's rehearsal room is always full of snacks and drinks. Lin Pin'er also distributes throat-protecting tea to everyone every afternoon. She recently arranged vocal lessons for everyone after dinner, but of course it was not mandatory. The reason was that Feng Ziying pestered Lin Pin'er to teach him how to sing high notes.
At the beginning, Lin Pin'er took Feng Ziying to practice in front of the mirror.
"Mr. Feng, can you please stop singing with your face?" Lin Pin'er laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. Feng Ziying's facial expression became ferocious when he sang the high notes.
Lin Pin'er patiently taught him some tips: "You watch cartoons, learn the strange sounds in them, and figure out their pronunciation techniques. For example, the sound made by the Minions: bababa~ is to flatten the throat. You need to study how this sound is made and what method will make it easier to pronounce."
Feng Ziying was a little puzzled, and Lin Pin'er continued: "In fact, the Minions sing in a similar way to Spanish. When I was in New York, I happened to learn a little Spanish. I made up a set of vocal training methods to teach you.
Practice with me: Potato-na. ”
Feng Ziying imitated her and practiced: "Potato-na"
After practicing for a while, more people started to gather behind us. The girls all came to join the training.
After they learned the simple version, Lin Pin'er started to increase the difficulty.
“Bokka fa lei boom maraki Booki bokka fa ta chi ba da da bo da…..”
"What, what, what...Boss Lin, please speak slower..." Feng Ziying thought he was a good talker, but at this moment he couldn't keep up with Lin Pin'er's pace.
"I'll record it for you, and you can go back and learn from the video." Lin Pin'er took her phone and practiced it again in front of the mirror for them to see.
The fat guy pushed the door open and saw everyone gathered in front of the mirror, not knowing what they were doing. He walked to the coffee table and sat down, rummaging through the snack bag and found a few bags of potato chips.
Feng Ziying spotted his master with his sharp eyes and ran over to greet him.
The fat guy held a few bags of potato chips and smiled shyly: "The guys over there said they were hungry after training, so I came over to see if there was anything to eat."
"Master, are you hungry? I'll order takeout for you." Feng Ziying quickly took out his cell phone and searched for it.
"No, we'll practice for another hour and then it's time for dinner, just a quick bite."
Feng Ziying did not stop his movements and worked quickly: "Then I'll give everyone something to drink. You are all tired from practicing."
The fat man continued, "What were you doing in front of the mirror just now?"
Feng Ziying answered without even looking up: "I asked Boss Lin to ask me to sing the high notes."
The fat man pulled Feng Ziying closer to him and said in a low voice, "She has a vocal teacher, Director Nie from the opera troupe, who specializes in directing musicals. If you can get her to give you some guidance, you'll be in luck."
"Really? I'll ask her later."
The fat man stood up holding the potato chips and reminded Feng Ziying: "Try to speak more naturally and don't tell her what I said. Because of your relationship, she will probably be more willing to help you." He turned and walked towards the door, and after two steps he reminded Feng Ziying again.
"Send the drinks to our rehearsal room later."
"Okay Master."
"Thanks."
The fat man came back with some snacks. Da Jun was meditating on the futon. There were two people sleeping upright on the floor over there.
The fat man found a central seat and sat down. After sitting down, he opened the potato chips and took a few bites, then sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Sighing will affect your fortune." Teacher Da Jun sat still and squeezed out a few words from between his lips.
The fat man chewed the potato chips in his mouth and swallowed them, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense.
"They are practicing very enthusiastically over there, I don't think you guys are in a hurry, right?"
"What's the hurry?" The army continued to meditate.
"It's almost the third performance, what are your plans? Are you not planning to sign a contract?"
Da Jun slowly opened his eyes, his body still motionless, and said in a ventriloquism-like voice: "Why sign a contract? We look like fresh meat. Besides, can we still take private jobs after signing the contract? Isn't it still making money for the company? I think this is good, we can take the jobs and make money ourselves, and no one will take a cut. If we want to work, we can go, if we don't want to work, we can rest. It's good!"
There was still a glimmer in the fat man's eyes. He continued to eat potato chips, as if he understood what he meant. "I see they are quite active, which makes me want to give it a try too. Suddenly I feel like my fighting spirit is ignited. After all, we have the most experience. Even if we don't sign the contract, we can't let them beat us, right?"
