Chapter 18 Shocks the Entire Audience!
Chapter 18 Shocks the Entire Audience!
The intro to "The Way U Are" starts playing again.
The light fell from above, casting Jiang Tang's shadow on the floor.
Jiang Tang stood still, like a cheetah.
He was lying in wait, waiting for the right moment to erupt.
Some people in the trial training group subconsciously held their breath.
Park Jung-woo stared at his retreating figure, his expression still tense.
"Jiang Tang is definitely just trying to attract attention!"
He was unwilling to admit that Jiang Tang was exceptionally talented, but at that moment he couldn't take his eyes off him.
The rhythm changed the next second.
Jiang Tang suddenly looked up.
In that instant, his entire demeanor changed!
That gentle and quiet boy seemed to have become a lion suddenly awakened by the stage, unleashing a powerful surge of energy.
It was just a glance.
This caused Lim Yoona, standing outside the door, to slightly shift her gaze.
She's too sensitive to being in front of the camera.
Therefore, she was well aware that Jiang Tang's single glance could give people the feeling that "he should be in the center of the camera."
"Taeyeon unnie has struck gold!"
Kim Tae-yeon's heart skipped a beat.
The song's emotions are very straightforward.
It's like a teenager seeing someone in a crowd and being suddenly struck by their presence.
That feeling of being moved was like the sudden surge of heat under the scorching summer sun, so direct it was almost reckless.
"Jiang Tang, you can definitely do it."
Jiang Tang's gaze remained fixed directly ahead.
He's watching.
It's also getting closer.
Before you turn around, your gaze will arrive first.
Each time he retracts his movement, his eyes draw the audience back in.
There were no real cameras in the practice room, but he seemed to know naturally where the camera would zoom in from.
When to show your profile, when to make eye contact, and when to stop moving to make the next burst of power more effective.
Yu Yongzhen paused writing for a long time.
During the first selection, he felt that Jiang Tang would seek out the camera.
This feeling is even stronger now.
A month of training is not enough to transform a trainee.
Jiang Tang's dance still has its flaws.
But he understands the stage too well.
That was a rare kind of intuition.
What's even more frightening is that this intuition is being trained to be even more perfect.
Soon, the melody entered a more intense phase.
"I see you."
I'm attracted to you.
"I want to know, what kind of person are you?"
That straightforward, almost burning, youthful excitement was pushed up layer by layer by the drumbeats and melody.
Jiang Tang's body seemed to be completely ignited by this emotion.
He took a half-step forward, sweat dripping from his forehead, but his eyes were brighter than before.
The next second, he turned around abruptly in rhythm.
After turning to the side, he took a half-step forward in time with the drumbeat, which seemed to push the emotions of the whole song to a climax.
Bang bang bang!
Her dance steps were as smooth as silk!
Kim Tae-yeon was so engrossed in watching that she forgot to blink.
She suddenly felt as if she had met a new Jiang Tang.
In the small practice room, Jiang Tang would give her rice balls, write sticky notes, deliberately tease her with "Gold 9000," and when she was about to break down, he would tell her in a firm tone that she hadn't made a mistake coming here.
Jiang Tang in the comments section seems to be able to make everyone see him.
The sight of these two completely different figures overlapping made her heart race.
"Jiang Tang is amazing...."
As soon as the chorus begins, the heavy bass drumbeats suddenly come crashing down like a torrential downpour.
Each beat felt like a suffocating pressure, a heavy blow to the heart.
At this critical moment, Jiang Tang's taut lips suddenly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Before anyone could react to this unexpected "expression kill," they heard a muffled thud from the floor.
Jiang Tang had already glided to the next position like a phantom.
That moment was so beautiful it sent chills down my spine!
In the instant he turned around, the wide hem of his coat drew a sharp arc in mid-air.
He was as if he were being propelled by that invisible wave of sound, crashing into the central light from the shadows in a highly dynamic way.
At that moment, light and shadow intertwined on his angular profile, creating a look that was both dangerous and captivating.
A slight commotion visibly arose in the evaluation room at that moment.
In that brief second, Jiang Tang perfectly blended the point of gaze, the extension of body movements, and the emotions within the melody.
Park Jung-woo's expression froze when he saw this.
He finally understood that this guy could really make the same song sound completely different in his own way.
Group A also fell silent.
At first, they were somewhat hostile.
The trial group members demonstrated the pieces they had just learned, making it hard not to feel that it was a challenge.
But as they watched, that hostility slowly turned into seriousness.
If Group A's "The Way U Are" is like a wall, the entire team pressing down on you, leaving you with no way to escape.
Jiang Tang's "The Way U Are" is like a camera zooming in from the shadows, following the boy step by step into the light.
"Such a strong personality!"
Leeteuk gasped.
The next second, the second chorus swept in!
The arrangement of the entire song powerfully pushes the sense of power to a new level!
Jiang Tang's breathing had become heavier, but at the moment the dense, rain-like drumbeats struck, a vibrant life force burst forth from his body.
With the bombardment of the heavy beat, the muscles in the shoulders and abdomen suddenly exploded as they were pulled!
"!"
Yinhe's pupils suddenly contracted.
As the core dancer of Group A, he could naturally see that Jiang Tang's dancing skills were only at an average level.
However, the stage can sometimes be quite unreasonable.
The moment Jiang Tang slid up and raised his eyes, it was like a beast unleashed, forcefully seizing the attention of the entire space.
Eunhyuk even had an absurd thought in his mind—
If there were a camera right now, no matter how perfectly everyone else jumped, the camera would be completely held by the powerful attraction of Jiang Tang, unable to move an inch.
Kim Heechul leaned casually against the wall, clicked his tongue softly, and unconsciously rubbed his chin with his fingers. His expression was like that of someone who had encountered trouble, or someone who was excited to see a prey.
"This kid..."
Noticing the unusual atmosphere, Lee Donghae turned his head in confusion and asked, "Heechul hyung, what's wrong?"
Kim Heechul stared at Kang Tang, and a thorny smile finally returned to his beautiful, sharp eyes: "A wolf mixed in with a flock of sheep... that's interesting."
The music then moves into its second half.
Jiang Tang's practice clothes were soaked with sweat.
But the closer he got to the point of exhaustion, the more he seemed to integrate the entire performance into his own rhythm.
He stopped walking, lowered his shoulders, and slowly raised his gaze from the ground.
For a second, the entire comment section seemed to freeze, just like his breathing.
boom!
The final melody erupts like a volcano!
"Your appearance!"
"Your eyes!"
"I can't take my eyes off them!"
Following the final drumbeat, Jiang Tang took a sudden step forward, tearing apart the previously orderly movement.
The moment the light and shadow struck, the light on his body seemed to spread like wildfire, suddenly burning fiercely throughout the entire evaluation room!
Slide!
Turn around!
Look up!
End the movement!
In this almost intense rhythm, from extreme movement to extreme stillness, Jiang Tang's dance steps suddenly froze!
The music stopped abruptly.
The huge practice room was silent for a full two seconds.
Sweat trickled down his chin, flashing briefly in the light.
Jiang Tang stood in the center of the evaluation area, his chest heaving violently.
He was covered in sweat, but the moment he looked up, his eyes were incredibly sharp.
"Teacher, my performance is over."
