Starway Raiders

148. Making Games X Recording Accidents

Two hosts, a man and a woman, memorized the script with great emotion in the first three steps, talking back and forth for 3 minutes.The props in the back were also quickly set up, and the host gave up his position and introduced these "little fresh meats" behind him one by one.

Artists who can stand on this stage have more or less some works over the years. Even if they don't have the lead role, they have played popular supporting roles.There are two little fresh meats who have also starred in an idol drama. When watching the introduction on the big screen, Shi Guang remembered that this is the Tianlei idol drama that Ji Ran gave him back then. Judging from the reaction on the scene, it seems that the effect is not bad.

In turn, when it comes to Yu Xiangchen, his information is obviously enriched. In addition to "Han Wudi", he has also participated in four TV dramas, two of which are popular supporting roles, and there is also a big brand The endorsement of the egg yolk faction is taking the route of a warm man, which is still in line with his image in front of people.

The last is Lou Zhan. In fact, it can be seen from the video that Lou Zhan is not made by the same person as the previous ones. Although the time is a bit rushed, there is no problem at all, but it feels more refined.Apart from "Han Wudi", Lou Zhan only has "Di Renjie: The Peerless Twins". As for "Heart Mark", it has not yet been released, and Hollywood blockbusters are being filmed.If you only watch the content of the video, Lou Zhan's experience will appear extremely thin.

However, Lou Zhan on the left and right is not on stage to gather popularity, he is not enough to chase his "lover" now, how can he care to compare with others.Besides, is it necessary to compare?

Lou Zhan dealt with it calmly, his eyes were more on Shi Shi's face, almost greedy.

On the contrary, Yu Xiangchen was full of hostility towards Lou Zhan.Although he knew that Lou Zhan's identity was not something he could compare to, but when he saw Lou Zhan's profile video, which only lasted less than twenty seconds, he immediately felt a sense of pride in his heart.He even thought indifferently in his heart, Lou Zhan just had a good life and gave birth to a good family, so what else could be better than him?It looks like he may be in good health, maybe it's just a silver gun candle, an embroidered pillow, and when he knows how to play games, he can justifiably win, but it's just a game, and he can vent his anger, but he doesn't dare to do anything about it!

After all the videos were played, everyone stood on the stage in a row, facing the stage together.To be honest, the looks of the "little fresh meats" are indeed good. Where to stand in a row, it really makes people's eyes shine.

Time today's stage outfits are relatively light, and the dress is relatively regular. Compared with the two newcomers with dyed blonde hair, they really don't look very eye-catching.However, Shi Shi's facial features are very correct, and his narrow and long eyes have his unique characteristics, coupled with the star halo, although many viewers were attracted away at first, but when they came back to their senses, they found that it was still Shi Shi The most eye-catching!How come the shape and curvature of the corners of the eyes and brows are so just right, you will never get tired of it!

Of course, the two around him are also great, they are definitely handsome guys who can stand out with high quality!

The smile on the left is warm and reminiscent of the big brother next door. It is warm and comfortable. You can almost imagine the warm and sweet love life when you look at each other and smile when you are treated tenderly by him.The handsome and dignified person on the right has a sense of elegance. Once you stand there, the people around you seem to become a foil, which makes you feel admiration unconsciously.But there is still a bit of self-ashamedness that cannot be explained clearly, but it makes people feel that if they can be seen by this person, they will definitely become the kind of idol heroine who is loved by three thousand people, and live in fairy tales. Feel.

As a result, the three people in the middle are simply star-spangled, attracting attention to them little by little, and they can no longer move away.

This time, a manager led by Tianheng Company could see clearly from below, and also sighed in his heart, it seems that this group of newcomers still can't do it.He has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and his eyes are considered vicious. Whether an artist can stand out, he only needs to put him on the stage to know clearly.

After the artists on stage appeared, it was time to start making games.In fact, everyone is not familiar with each other, so it is more or less embarrassing, but under the camera, you can't refuse to cooperate just because you are not familiar with it. Everyone's smiles are stiff.Especially Shi Guang, he had never seen any of these newcomers, he didn't want to talk to Yu Xiangchen, and he was having an awkward fight with Lou Zhan, one can imagine how uncomfortable this game is.But since you are an artist, you have to abide by the rules of this circle, and you have to get out of the way for any unfamiliar reasons!Under the camera, it must be hello, me, hello, everyone. Only when the audience sees it well is it really good!

The first game is to grab the bench, nine people grab eight benches, eight people grab seven benches, and so on, and finally there is one bench that two people grab.The program team took great pains in arranging this program. No cooperation is required. Everyone can play it regardless of whether they are familiar with it. After playing a few times, everyone will become familiar with it, and then they can move on to the next step.

Time is just playing together, although he is also somewhat interested in the championship, but he can't lose his demeanor just to fight for the championship.In addition, he appeared on a lot of entertainment shows, and he was able to guess the effect of the show after the broadcast based on the situation on the spot. Now everyone is not excited enough. If his performance is too exaggerated, it will be too eye-catching and annoying.So after only two rounds, he was defeated. He walked to the side with a smile and watched the rest continue to grab the bench.

The game was still going on over there. Lou Zhan, who gave up in the first round, slid to Shi Shi's side. Seeing that the camera didn't record here, he softly shouted in a begging tone: " time..."

Time fell on deaf ears.

Lou Zhan's voice became a little softer, as light as a strand of hair, gently sweeping Shi Shi's heart: "Shi Shi, don't be angry, I was wrong."

When time was said by Lou Zhan's hooked tone, his legs became weak, and the scene of that time crashed into his head again... Lou Zhan pressed on him, his naked skin pressed tightly, and his heavy breathing sounded like Lei Ming, as well as the force of the impact again and again, was ruthless and heavy, and each hit went deep into the deepest part. The accumulated pleasure layer upon layer was endless, pushing him up continuously until he broke through a certain level. Limit——The overwhelming pleasure buried him in groups, and he forgot everything!

Madan!

Hard!

Time is almost overwhelming my body, but it's just Lou Zhan's words, that's such a big reaction!

This is so on stage!

Time made a decisive decision, turned around and took two steps towards the game, clapping his hands and shouting: "Come on!"

Fortunately, the introspection was quick, and the attention was shifted in time, and the commotion gradually returned to calm.

Shi Guang felt the layer of cold sweat coming out of his back, and couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't dare to look at Lou Zhan either.I was in a hurry to leave just now, I was afraid that I would hurt Lou Zhan, and now I am on the stage, and I can't explain it... and there is no way to explain this matter, I can only wait for the reconciliation later, and then comfort Lou Zhan.

Shi Guang knew in his heart that he was just putting himself down with Lou Zhan, and it was impossible for him to really ignore Lou Zhan.

joke!He still wants to be with Lou Zhan for a long time!

When he came back to his senses, Shi Shi's eyes met Yu Xiangchen.At some point in the arena, the game had come to an end, and Yu Xiangchen and the other two were left to fight for the only bench.There was excitement in Yu Xiangchen's eyes as he looked at him, and he was eager to prove his intentions, which made him bewildered.But when I think about it later, I realize that I just applauded and cheered, maybe Yu Xiangchen made me feel affectionate.

Yu Xiangchen was "encouraged" by time, and he performed extremely bravely. In the end, he fought against all the heroes in the game of grabbing the bench, and sat down on the bench.

After the applause fell, the host laughed and said, "It's not enough to just play games without rewards or punishments. The game just now is just a warm-up for everyone, and there will be punishments next!"

Before the words fell, a dining car was pushed up by the staff, and the huge dining car was full of things, all of which were tightly covered.The host didn't hold back, and stepped forward to reveal them one by one. There were mustard, chili, curry, coptis water, vinegar...etc.Every time it was opened, the host made a surprised sound, and a row of "little fresh meat" behind him, except for Lou Zhan, all made various painful expressions, even time was not immune.

Then after all the lids were lifted, the host pointed to a large plate of dumplings and said, "Eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year is a tradition in Huaguo. We also have to abide by the rules handed down by our ancestors during the seven days of Chinese New Year. Let's make a rule, and the winner Make dipping water for the loser and feed them dumplings! Okay!"

"Okay!" The audience booed.

Time frowned when he heard the new rules.Everything else is easy to say, he really can't stand mustard, so as not to be tricked by others, let's be more careful in the next game.

Not only did Shi Shi think so, but with the punishment, everyone's spirits were more concentrated, and even Lou Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a bit of "murderous look".

A new game starts, still grabbing the bench.Shi Guang went all the way to the fourth round, but the promising bench was taken by a yellow-haired ass, and he had no choice but to be unwilling to lose.

Before the top three decide the champion, they will have to fight for the six who are eliminated early.

Xiao Huang Mao scooped up all the condiments with a smile, and after stirring it with chopsticks, the color of the dipped water turned into a yellow-green sticky lump, which was disgusting to look at.Moreover, he wrapped the dumpling in it three times back and forth, which was scary to watch.Fortunately, he also knew who he couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to go to the side of time, but ran to entrap his friends who were close to him on weekdays, and then there was a terrible sound of vomiting.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became lively, and the audience in the audience were all laughing.Little Huangmao was very proud of himself.

It was Lou Zhan and Yu Xiangchen's turn.Yu Xiangchen took a step forward with a smile, and Lou Zhan simply didn't move.Yu Xiangchen walked to the side of the dining car, scooped some vinegar and garlic, added a little lemonade, and finally picked up the dumplings and lightly tapped them, and then went straight to the side of time.

Shi Shi's face darkened slightly, looking at the dumpling that Yu Xiangchen handed to his mouth, he ate it reluctantly.

Looking at Lou Zhan's face again, although there was no change in his expression, Shi Shi still clearly felt his unhappiness.

Later in the championship competition, Lou Zhan reacted extremely quickly and had strong physical fitness. He sat firmly on the bench and won the championship.

Yu Xiangchen, who hadn't even touched the bench, smiled, glanced at Shi Guang, and saw that Shi Shi didn't see him at all, but was looking at Lou Zhan, feeling sad and a little bit unconvinced, thinking that he just got separated God damn it, he will definitely beat Lou Zhan in the next game.

Lou Zhan, who won the championship, poured water for the two losers. He poured out a plate of coptis water with no expression on his face, scooped up a large spoonful of mustard sauce, rolled the dumplings in a circle, and handed them to Yu Xiangchen.In a place where the camera couldn't record, Lou Zhan's eyes were dark, and he suppressed countless emotions. Although he didn't say anything, Yu Xiangchen still felt a kind of danger, which made the hairs on his back stand on end up.

Yu Xiangchen ate the dumplings and watched Lou Zhan turn and walk away. While savoring the bitter and spicy taste in his mouth, the unwillingness and anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time seemed to rush to his brain with the spiciness of mustard, his eyes dimmed There was a layer of scarlet.

Xiao Huangmao is innocent, he didn't feel the undercurrents on the stage at all, he started to play tricks after eating the dumplings, and then was teased by his companions, he smiled indifferently, which made the audience feel good.

The game of grabbing the bench is over. According to the plan of the program group, there is still a lot of time left in this session, so the next game starts, counting and hugging.

When the host counts, just a few people hug each other, and the one who placed the order will lose.

It is also a very simple game, mainly to test everyone's reaction speed.

The host asked everyone to form a big circle, and there was music playing in the arena. Everyone walked around the circle with the music and had to dance to the music.Shi Guang's eyes met Lou Zhan's, and the two were separated by four or five people, so it was impossible to leverage each other's strengths.

"Four!" Suddenly, the host said a word.

Time was stunned for a moment, and the next second he went to find someone to hug him, but when he reached out to grab it, the person on the left had already turned around and rushed behind him, leaving him with nothing to grab.And in the blink of an eye, when he looked back to the right again, there was no one on the right.I was left alone.

Could it be that the first one is about to be eliminated!

Shi Shi thought this way, and just when the idea came to his mind, he saw Lou Zhan hooking a person's neck with one hand, rushing towards him expressionlessly, one step, two steps, three steps, getting closer and closer.He came to his senses, threw himself into Lou Zhan's arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Uh...neck..." The little yellow hair screamed in pain.Unexpectedly, Lou Zhan's strength was so great, he just felt like his neck was being hooped by an iron ring, and he didn't even have time to react, so he changed his position in the blink of an eye.

The other one had already rolled his eyes, and could only groan twice in protest.

Protest is invalid!

Shi Guang threw himself into Lou Zhan's arms, and his eyes met with Lou Zhan's. A warm atmosphere spread in the middle, but before they gathered too much, they were interrupted by Xiao Huangmao's screams.Only then did Shi Guang turn his head to look, and saw four people hugging each other not far away, leaving Yu Xiangchen standing there in a daze, obviously not believing that he was eliminated just like that.

It turned out that after the host called four, Lou Zhan grabbed two, one on the left and one on the right, and hugged the other three immediately.There were three people left, Yu Xiangchen hugged with the people around him, and left Shi Shi alone.Just when Lou Zhan grabbed the person and walked towards Time, the person who was hugging Yu Xiangchen saw the scene, pushed Yu Xiangchen away, and joined the team of three, so Time and Lou Zhan After reuniting, Yu Xiangchen was left standing alone.

Yu Xiangchen was eliminated. Although he seemed to be smiling nonchalantly, everyone on the stage could find that he was a little unhappy.Especially the newcomer who pushed away Yu Xiangchen "don't hug the pipa". After all, Yu Xiangchen is also a senior, and he didn't dare to offend people severely, so he apologized repeatedly in places where the camera could not see.Yu Xiangchen suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled.

The game started again, Lou Zhan and Shi Shi had already stood together, the two of them were connected with each other, anyway, the two of them must stick together and not separate, and then arrest people according to the host's report, the tacit understanding is very good, and they easily reached the final .

In the end, there were three people left, Shi Guang, Lou Zhan, and the lucky little Huang Mao.After all the calculations, it must be an even number of wins. Shi Guang and Lou Zhan glanced at each other, and they were already sure of winning.But when the host called two, Shi Guang felt that he was hit hard from behind, and then he was hugged hard.Then Lou Zhan also hugged him from the front, and he was caught in the middle, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that Xiaohuang Mao also saw that Lou Zhan and Shi Shi had a good relationship, and they would definitely join forces to deal with him after the beginning, so he played tricks and hugged Shi Shi's waist and didn't let go.

The game entered a stalemate, there was laughter on and off the court, and the host smoothed things over, even if all three of them won the game.

Xiao Huangmao let go of his hand, and smiled naively at Shi Shi. Shi Shi looked at his handsome face with a bit of honesty, his eyes were clear and clean, and coupled with his carefree behavior before, he was like a small child. I didn't feel offended and couldn't get angry.

Lou Zhan was a little unhappy, but he couldn't do anything under the camera, so he sulked alone.

The newcomers were still showing themselves under the camera, but Shi Guang was not in the mood anymore. He moved to Lou Zhan's side and smiled at Lou Zhan.

Lou Zhan looked at him expressionlessly.

Shi Shi laughed again, with crooked eyes and crooked mouth.

So Lou Zhan also smiled lightly, sweeping away the gloom from his body, his dark eyes became soft, completely framing Shi Guang's smile in the middle, and any other right and wrong are no longer important.

Seeing the two of them flirting not far away, Yu Xiangchen felt more and more uncomfortable, and his anger was particularly fierce. He only felt that Lou Zhan's existence was extremely dazzling, and there was a thought in his heart that kept clamoring. People should be themselves!The person who smiles like Shi Shi should also be himself!Watch it!in love!I like it!It should be me!It shouldn't be someone else, it shouldn't be!

After Shi Guang and the others won, they played a decent game of dipping water, and then the game continued.

Due to time constraints, the program team deleted two games and proceeded directly to the stepping on balloons.The games during the Chinese New Year are still mainly lively. The artists are moving, and the competition is fierce. Coupled with the sound of the balloon bursting, the audience will feel lively when they watch it.At the beginning of the show's production, this game was a reserved item.

Step on balloons in two teams. The legs that are side by side are tied with ropes, and the other legs are tied with two balloons. During the game, you must not only protect your own balloons, but also step on other people's balloons. The team with the most balloons wins.This game is more of a test of coordination and stamina.

Because there were only nine players in the game, the host came up to make up the number, so there were ten players and five teams.

Time and Lou Zhan are naturally bound together.

After arriving here, everyone on and off the stage could see clearly that Shi Shi and Lou Zhan must have a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have interacted frequently and had a tacit understanding from the very beginning of the game.

Especially after the show was broadcast, fans who chased the time to watch the show sent messages on Weibo with unknown reasons such as "Hey hey..." "2333333" "Oh~~".

Occasionally someone will ask [what happened, please answer. 】

The person who answered said [Shi Xiaoguang and his family's Lou Zhan really have a tacit understanding. ] Some people also asked [It's really a tacit understanding, so what's the matter?Scratch the wall for the truth! 】Someone replied【Wandu, dear. 】

That person left a message after Wandu [Tacit understanding: 1, tacit understanding. 2. A secret agreement or agreement. ] Then there is a row of messages at the bottom... [La la la ~ ~ tacit understanding! ! 】【I have a little secret, little secret, I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you, I won’t tell you~~】【Tacit understanding!tacit agreement!I also want to have good sisters who have a tacit understanding~~] Therefore, there was a weird atmosphere in the Weibo messages during that time, which made many new fans confused.However, when these fans figured out some truths through clues, they immediately joined in this "fog of mystery".

But these are all things after the show was broadcast, and now time is still struggling on the stage.He and Lou Zhan are about the same height, and there is not much difference in physical strength. Coupled with the tacit understanding between lovers, in the 3 minutes after the start of the show, when the other groups lost at least one balloon, they still had a chance to fight. Completely protected his own balloon.

Of course, it also has something to do with them being less aggressive.First of all, Lou Zhan has a personality problem, he is not very good at doing these rough things, even in front of the camera, he just cooperates.And because Shi Shi is a senior this time, seniors should always have the air of a senior. Facing these newcomers, being too proactive will give the audience a feeling of being too strong, which does not fit Shi Guang's always friendly screen image.

But more than half of the game time, the complete four balloons on their feet are a bit eye-catching, coupled with the host's booing and the audience screaming, there will always be some dizzy players who will step on their feet, once or twice, to join in the fun Gradually more.

Yu Xiangchen was partnered with an old friend of his, and they had a pretty good relationship on weekdays. Seeing someone stalking Lou Zhan, Yu Xiangchen whispered: "Go, go there, they still have four balloons. If it goes on like this, they win."

The partner picked it up clearly, and frowned slightly: "The floor is over there, but it's just a game, so don't join in the fun."

"It's just a game, so we should go there. It's rare to get in touch with Mr. Lou at ordinary times. If you have fun in the game, maybe he will remember it, and the journey will be smoother in the future."

The partner thought about it, and felt that what Yu Xiangchen said made sense.These artists who signed with Tianheng Entertainment, "Starway" are all held in the hands of those above them.Although Lou Zhan seems to be far less popular than Shi Shi, everyone understands that it will be a matter of time before he soars into the sky, and when the gap is too big, there is no need to care about it.On the contrary, it is close to Lou Zhan, anyone with a discerning eye can imagine it.People at their level usually don't even see anyone, but now it's rare to be on a show. If they are still cautious, the opportunity may be gone in a flash. Why don't they take the initiative, and maybe they can leave an eye contact.

The two started staggering towards Lou Zhan and Time, but the partner didn't see the hostility in Yu Xiangchen's eyes, the burning eyes were slightly red, looking at Lou Zhan as if seeing his wife enemy!

Although Shi Guang and Lou Zhan didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble, they wouldn't just hide away when trouble came.Seeing Xiao Huangmao and his friends coming to provoke them, Shi Guang felt his arms tighten, and he immediately cooperated with Lou Zhan to meet them.

In the entertainment industry, it's not uncommon to see people around 1.8 meters tall, but those over 1.8 meters 1.8 are rare, especially if two of them are over [-] meters [-] and like to exercise on weekdays.Little Huangmao and his friends felt as if they had bumped into two fierce beasts head-on. Before they could react, they heard three "pops, pops" and the balloons at their feet were all popped!

Little Huangmao stared blankly at Shi Guang and Lou Zhan, frowned, and was eliminated in the first group with his friends.

The time group's resolute action frightened the people around, and those who originally wanted to go to them hesitated.In this way, Yu Xiangchen and his partner came from behind and met Shi Guang and Lou Zhan.

Seeing Yu Xiangchen, Guangguang and Lou Zhan frowned, thinking that this person was more annoying than flies!Don't want to pay attention to it, he just came to provoke you, flying around in front of you from time to time.But if you want to say that there is something wrong with him, you can't tell why.

Yu Xiangchen and Lou Zhan looked at each other, glanced at the time, and then at the closely connected bodies of the two. A surge of anger rushed to his brain, and he raised his foot and stepped on Lou Zhan's.

Yes!

He didn't step on the balloon, he stepped on Lou Zhan's foot!

If it wasn't on the stage, if he wasn't still a little sane, he would even want to defeat Lou Zhan and take back the time!

Obviously it is mine, it belongs to me!

Shi Guang and Lou Zhan both saw where Yu Xiangchen's feet landed, and there was that force, precise and ruthless. One can imagine that if Lou Zhan was trampled on by this foot, even if it wouldn't hurt his muscles and bones, he would still hurt. I can't move.

Fortunately, Lou Zhan's reaction was quick, and Yu Xiangchen's kick didn't step on him, but he clearly accepted the hostility from the other party.Then, the sharp light in Lou Zhan's eyes also emerged.

Lou Zhan is usually calm and doesn't like to do things that bully others. Unless the other party really provokes him, some small things usually don't catch his attention, but these don't mean that he is easy to mess with!Take the plagiarized incident of Shiguang's song not long ago. Not only did Lou Zhan help Shiguang arrest people and find evidence, he even asked a barrister to appeal triumphantly. It can be said that you punched me. I not only want to punch you, but also Tear off a piece of your flesh!

Originally, he was worried about Xiang Chen's existence, and he could vaguely guess what he had with Shi Shi, but now that Yu Xiangchen came to provoke him, he immediately frowned, and it was clear about where Yu Xiangchen would go in the future.

Bullying! ?No!Not only does Tianheng Entertainment Company belong to his family, but the entire Lou family will also be in his hands sooner or later. This is all part of his identity and background, and it is a part of his Lou Zhan. It is not needed at this time. Could it be that he and Yu Xiangchen are here to step on it? Is it a fight to step on it?

Lou Zhan was not interested in having such a naive argument with Yu Xiangchen, but Time couldn't help it!He already had an old hatred for Xiang Chen, but now that he provoked Lou Zhan, it was tantamount to provoking himself, and a new hatred was born immediately.He pulled Lou Zhan back and stepped on Yu Xiangchen's feet.

"Bang!" The balloon burst.Along with him was Yu Xiangchen's painful foot.He raised his head abruptly and looked at Time.When his eyes met, he saw the almost uncontrollable anger in Shi Guang's eyes, the emotion was so strong that he even felt that there was hatred... hate!His heart ached, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was also a kind of panic, Shi Shi hated him!Why hate him?

These undercurrents surged for only a few seconds, but Yu Xiangchen's partner didn't know anything. Seeing that he met Lou Shao, the prince of Tianhen, he wanted to make Lou Shao remember him, and he was careful at the same time. Don't really hurt people.

As a result, the scene suddenly turned into time. For Xiang Chen, Lou Zhan was entangled by that partner.There are comings and goings, but no one can see the problem.

But it can stay like this for the time being.

After going back and forth for another ten seconds, everyone on the stage found out the problem, and they really got into a fight!

So the host who participated in the game immediately dragged his partner and rushed up, cleverly separating the people.Seeing that the war that was about to escalate was about to disappear, Yu Xiangchen suddenly raised his hand and pushed towards Lou Zhan. Lou Zhan stepped aside and grabbed Yu Xiangchen's hand.At the same time, Time also grabbed Yu Xiangchen's other hand, leaving only the partner with an abnormal appearance.

The picture freezes, the atmosphere is stiff, and the audience peeks at each other.

Shi Hui stood up worriedly, and shouted, "Brother!"

"Ka! Kaka Kaka!" the director hurriedly called to stop, blowing his nose and staring, wanting to get angry at the artists on stage, but was grabbed by the assistant director beside him, and after saying a few words in his ear, his complexion changed continuously , and then calmed down, looking around Lou Zhan's face, secretly glad that this is not a live broadcast, and there is still a chance to make amends.

Many staff rushed onto the stage one after another, separating several people.

In a huge studio hall, it was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
