In just a few short minutes, the PV created a huge sensation in the gaming community.
Whether it was the filming techniques, the scenes, or the special effects, there was nothing to criticize.
And Xie Feiran’s performance made Tina Continent players truly feel that Xie Feiran was right there, telling them: “No matter what, we will meet again.”
[No matter what, we will meet again, wuwuwu.]
The solo fans of the game character Xie Feiran typed this comment almost while crying.
Other players of different games were shocked by how perfectly Xie Feiran fit the Tina Continent character.
Many celebrities advertise games, but wearing the costume often looks more like cosplay than acting, plus there’s a sense of unprofessionalism and strong dissonance.
But in this PV, they couldn’t find a single bit of dissonance.
[Dissonance is dead!]
This was the highest praise players gave to Xie Feiran.
Because of this PV, Xie Feiran’s Weibo started gaining fans like crazy, the speed already crushing the idol trainees of the same period.
As a manager, Cheng Yuan was full of pride.
People always say acting from idol shows isn’t very good, but in his view, Xie Feiran was born to act.
At this moment, there was only one day left before the Youth Boy public performance.
[After watching them practice dance for so long, the stamina problem still can’t be solved.]
[Ahhhhhhh, why did you choose such a difficult dance and such a hard song, cub!]
[Honestly, if I were a mentor, I would give this an A for completion.]
[But Feiran really wants an S.]
In the Practice Room, Xie Feiran finished the last practice.
Hearing they could rest, everyone collapsed onto the floor.
“This is definitely the most exhausting period I’ve had in years.”
Wei Yunnian had long abandoned his cool guy image, flopping down like a dead dog as soon as he stopped.
“Same.”
Ye Ansheng lay half-dead on the ground.
To think, a rich young master like him was really fighting for his life to break into the entertainment industry.
Cheng Linxi listened and laughed:
“Except for the college entrance exam, it’s been a long time since I worked so hard.”
“It’s very fulfilling.”
Luo Wen, lying on the floor, squinted at Xie Feiran standing elegantly in the distance and whispered,
“It’s like I found my guiding North Star, as if I finally have a direction to strive toward.”
Luo Wen’s voice was almost inaudible; besides him, no one heard it.
“What kind of monster stamina do you have?
We’re all exhausted like dead dogs, and you’re still standing gracefully.”
Ye Ansheng grumbled in dissatisfaction.
After dancing for so long, Xie Feiran was perfectly fine, standing tall like an orchid or a jade tree, not a trace of fatigue.
Hearing Ye Ansheng’s complaint, a cheerful atmosphere instantly filled the Live Room.
[Feiran, God Forever.]
[So his stamina is really this terrifying?]
[Are you new?
Let me tell you, even if the four of them teamed up, they might not be able to take down Feiran.]
At that moment, the Practice Room door was suddenly pushed open.
A staff member from Polar Bear walked in, looking a bit troubled, followed by another trainee.
“Sorry, I’m Zhang Linyue from Shenghua Entertainment.
I accidentally tore your stage costume while horsing around with my teammates.
I’m really sorry.
I can compensate you.”
After finishing, Zhang Linyue bowed apologetically, looking so aggrieved it seemed he might cry at any moment.
The Polar Bear staff looked at the costume in his hand and spoke to Xie Feiran:
“The costume that got torn happens to be yours.
I’m afraid it’s impossible to make a replacement in a short time.”
Since Xie Ling invested money into Polar Bear, they’ve been taking great care of Xingyun Entertainment’s two idol trainees.
Even their dance costumes were cut and sewn by specialized teachers to match the stage style.
Therefore, making a new costume in a short time was difficult.
“Sorry, sorry for causing you so much trouble.”
Zhang Linyue kept apologizing, looking extremely remorseful.
[If apologizing worked, why would we need police?]
[Such a white lotus.
How did a simple idol show become a palace drama?]
[Maybe you didn’t know, but this is a regular program—Shenghua vs Xingyun.
Last time it was a costume, the time before someone broke a hand.]
[Our brother didn’t do it on purpose.
He was pushed and knelt on the ground, which accidentally tore Xie Feiran’s clothes.
You can’t expect someone to kneel down and apologize just for a costume, right?]
Xie Feiran looked at Zhang Linyue with eyes as clear as autumn water and glass.
Those eyes were like mirrors, seeming to see through everything.
A flash of panic crossed Zhang Linyue’s face.
This was all part of their plan, meant to please Song Qiusheng.
“You didn’t do it on purpose, right?”
Xie Feiran asked, looking at Zhang Linyue.
“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Zhang Linyue replied quickly.
Xie Feiran lowered his gaze and took the clothes from the staff.
“I hope so.”
“What do you mean?”
Zhang Linyue couldn’t help asking.
Ye Ansheng snorted beside them:
“Whatever you think it means, that’s what it means.”
In the next moment, Zhang Linyue’s expression turned extremely aggrieved.
“I didn’t mean to make you guys angry.
Don’t scold me.”
Ye Ansheng: ……
Goodness, he was actually ‘tead’ by a grown man.
Xie Feiran glanced at the torn spot on the costume, then spoke to the Polar Bear staff:
“Can I have a needle and thread?”
The staff was obviously stunned for a moment, then responded immediately:
“Of course, please wait a moment.”
Zhang Linyue offered:
“I can help.”
“No need.”
Xie Feiran refused without even looking up.
Soon, the staff brought needle and thread, and everyone watched as Xie Feiran skillfully threaded the needle.
The tear was right at the chest.
Xie Feiran used white thread to sew the rip closed with practiced hands.
[No matter how you patch it, you can’t hide the fact that it was torn.]
[Feiran, just switch to a new dance costume.]
[Wait, look, it’s Double-sided Embroidery!]
That’s right.
As a main C with all life skills maxed, Xie Feiran could do anything—and do it well.
Double-sided Embroidery, the highest-level embroidery method in Tina Continent, came from the ancient East.
Xie Feiran only learned it because he was the sole main C in the early stage.
Everyone watched Xie Feiran’s fingers dance like butterflies.
Brilliant roses bloomed from the chest, fiery and intense, matching the song name and bringing the torn costume back to life.
[Holy shit, Double-sided Embroidery, and done so fast! That was less than ten minutes, right?]
[As someone who also studies embroidery, all I can say is people really can’t be compared.]
[What did Feiran say the first time he performed a talent?]
[Good at forging, specializes in sewing, dabbles in alchemy.]
[Great!
Except for alchemy, I believe the rest.]
After Xie Feiran finished mending the costume, his teammates all looked relieved, and even Zhang Linyue had to put on a reassured expression.
“I thought I caused a huge disaster, but as long as it can be fixed, it’s okay.”
Zhang Linyue said insincerely.
Xie Feiran put away the costume, then spoke to the Polar Bear staff:
“Can I borrow the kitchen for a bit?
This is a request from the S-Class Dormitory.”
The staff clearly froze for a second upon hearing Xie Feiran’s request, unable to believe he would ask such a thing.
“Of course, all the ingredients inside are available to use.”
The staff quickly replied.
Xie Feiran nodded, then looked at Zhang Linyue.
“Next is a get-together with my teammates, so I won’t invite you.”
With that, Xie Feiran walked out of the Practice Room like stars surrounding the moon, leaving Zhang Linyue standing awkwardly behind.
At the same time, the staff notified the filming crew to head to the kitchen.
The first request made by an S-Class winner was to use the kitchen—it would surely attract viewers.
In the cafeteria kitchen, Xie Feiran had already started making Apple Roast Chicken.
This was one of the most common stamina items in Tina Continent.
After eating it, your stamina doubled, ensuring Ye Ansheng and the others could perform perfectly the next day.
He stuffed the marinated whole chicken with apples, brushed the skin with butter and honey, then placed it on a baking tray lined with vegetables.
This chicken took Xie Feiran an entire hour and a half.
It made him realize deeply that cooking in real life wasn’t like in games, where a single click produced infinite servings.
Finally, Xie Feiran pulled the Apple Roast Chicken out of the oven.
Whether at the scene or on the screen, everyone felt a golden light shining before them.
[Fuck, is this the legendary glowing cuisine?]
[With technology so advanced, why haven’t smell-transmitting phones been invented?]
[Is it tasty?]
The foodies asked the most basic question.
As Xie Feiran’s teammate, the answer was: Tasty.
Extremely tasty.
After eating it, you felt like you could run a marathon and do a triathlon.
Even when they stood on stage in their dance costumes for the first public performance, they felt like they had endless stamina.
“Hello everyone, this is the scene of the first Youth Boy public performance.”
The Host smiled.
“Before the competition begins, let’s have each team say some fighting words.”
As soon as he finished, the camera switched to Xie Feiran’s team.
The Host handed the mic to Xie Feiran.
Xie Feiran, who had never thought about saying fighting words: ……
In the end, Xie Feiran forced out a line:
“Reforge the Glory of Idol Shows—it’s our duty!”
Ye Ansheng immediately added:
“That means we’re the Domestic Number One Idol Boy Group!”
Wei Yunnian took a deep breath:
“Say it.
I’ll protect everything in this team.”
Cheng Linxi:
“Because I’m Cheng Linxi.”
Finally, everyone looked at Luo Wen.
Luo Wen:
“Making it to the Finals means success, right?”
