Among the eight trainees, the most cheerful and outgoing one is named Yin Haoran. He is a boy who smiles all day long and loves to play pranks and have fun.

It was his first performance today, and he was chosen by the other three trainees to be the host and the first person to perform.

As the first trainee, Yin Haoran took a deep breath, thinking about the next performance and the tips Su Yin had given them during countless rehearsals. Facing the crowd that formed a circle around them, he tried to keep smiling, suppressed his trembling hands holding the microphone, and made an OK gesture to the staff.

"My name is Yin Haoran, and I'm 14 years old. Today, I'm going to sing a solo song for you - 'Summer Rain'."

From the speakers, the prelude of a classic lyrical campus song that is familiar to all the people in this world is slowly playing.

As the first line of the song came out, Yin Haoran's voice was noticeably trembling, but as the song reached its climax, his voice gradually stabilized. His youthful voice, vocal skills, and technique naturally couldn't compare to the original singer's, but it was imbued with a youthful innocence and sincerity that paired with the song's youthful lyrics, perfectly capturing the song's essence and bringing it a unique charm.

It was completely different from singing in the practice room, for his fellow trainees, or for his teacher. Yin Haoran's initial nervousness and worry gradually turned to excitement! He felt as if his performance was getting better and better. Singing seemed to have become automatic muscle memory. He didn't have to frantically memorize the lyrics, but they flowed naturally from his throat.

More and more passersby gathered around, and the crowd of onlookers continued to grow. He seemed to see the reactions and discussions of the people around him, but it seemed that none of it entered his mind.

"Who are these guys?"

"I don't quite understand. I think he said something about trainees, but I didn't hear clearly."

"He sings alright. Anyone can sing this. My grandson sings better than him."

"Where is this student from? How dare they sing at such a young age?"

"At this age, she can sing alright."

"I think it's just average. There are a lot of people of this level on TV."

The onlookers were chattering about what was happening. Some left because they felt bored, while new people gathered around out of curiosity.

The song quickly concluded, and Yin Haoran bent down and gave a deep bow. Since he was a child, the passersby were quite forgiving, and applause immediately erupted. Yin Haoran's initial nervousness had clearly faded, and he quickly put on a broad smile and began his second performance. Unlike the first song, Yin Haoran chose a song and dance number for the second. There were no fancy lights, stage, or makeup, but the dancer, who had practiced for so long, performed with a serious and energetic manner. His deft steps and professionalism astounded the onlookers.

"Next, my partner Wang Jiazhen will perform 'My Day.'" When the song ended, Yin Haoran panted softly, completely relaxed, and expertly acted as the host.

Wang Jiazhen is the youngest trainee, but he is the most talented singer in this group of trainees. He has an excellent sense of music. Although he is usually very shy, once he picks up the microphone and closes his eyes, he performs surprisingly stably.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then immediately started discussing again.

"You sing really well. You're so talented at such a young age."

"Who are they? That kid just now was dancing with sticks, and this one sang well!"

Su Yin stood behind them, recording the performance of the teenagers and the audience's reaction to each segment of the show.

Several pre-arranged staff members had already entered the crowd as soon as Yin Haoran began his performance, promoting the show. The flyers featured the large characters and logo of Yuexiang Entertainment, along with photos, names, and repertoire of the trainees performing tonight, as well as information about the trainees' fan groups and the official Yuexiang Entertainment website.

"They are trainees from Yuexiang Entertainment and haven't officially debuted yet. They've just started learning singing and dancing and are here to practice their courage. I hope everyone will be tolerant."

"The kids all have good grades and train in their spare time. There are documentaries and short videos about them on M Station and Grape. You can search for "Yuexiang Entertainment Trainees" or their names to find them."

"Our trainees are all well-rounded idol aspirants. They train and perform non-stop every week. You can also come here to watch the performances every weekend."

"The fan group and official website will announce the performers, time and program in advance! Song requests will also be released soon!"

Regardless of the world, ordinary people still have a long way to go in the entertainment industry. Especially in this relatively underdeveloped world, most people have never seen trainees in real life, nor have they seen street performers as young as these people, so they are all particularly curious.

These children, carefully selected by Su Yin, naturally possessed exceptional talent and foundation. After more than six months of systematic training, their first street performance received an unexpectedly positive response from the audience! That evening, their performance video went viral throughout City A, and the fan base and official website saw a small surge in followers. This particular episode of the video recording also saw a wave of positive reviews and record-breaking views!

Years later, many people still recall watching them perform at Tianshui Square. Haha, they performed every weekend back then. That's when I realized these guys were different; they were destined for success! And sure enough, they became really famous.

——Two months later——

"Hey, they're going to Tianshui Square to watch a show tonight, do you want to go?"

It was break time in the classroom of No. 19 Middle School in City A. Groups of students were playing in and around the room. Some were sitting on chairs chatting. A girl came skipping back down the hallway, approached two girls, and asked a mysterious yet excited question.

I heard there's a boy in the No. 7 Middle School next door who's super handsome, can sing, and do street dance. He's said to have a lot of fans online."

"What kind of performance?" One of the girls was confused by her nonsensical words and showed a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, the girl also revealed a look of surprise. "Haven't you heard of the performance at Tianshui Square? Fan Yao, Wang Jiazhen, Yin Haoran, Shi Haoxuan?" Then she frowned, giving a look that said, "You're too old-fashioned." Then she couldn't help but whisper, "They're so popular! Lots of girls from outside the school went to see them, and lots of people from high school, college, and even older people came."

The girl thought about it for a while in a daze, and felt that she seemed to have heard these names somewhere before, but she really couldn't remember them.

The other girl wasn't surprised. Their best friend was so absorbed in her studies that she was always a step behind the curve. They'd actually talked about these people before, but the other girl had clearly forgotten, so she reminded her, "Those are the ones we talked about last time! Trainees at an entertainment company, they're going to be stars! There's a whole group of them, all incredibly handsome and talented!" As the girl spoke, her expression grew more and more enchanted.

Although they might not be serious celebrities, they were still in the entertainment industry. Someone like them was actually a student at the same school as them, and even from the school next door. This was too dreamy!

"Let's go together on Saturday night! My sister went before and said it was packed, with people standing in circles. They even had a live stream! A lot of people were watching online. Wanna go?" the girl excitedly asked her friend. Her cousin said all the girls in their school were fans of the trainees from their company, and they were divided into different factions, with fans of all kinds. The performance was truly amazing.

The girl, who seemed a bit slow to react, did remember, though she was still a little hesitant. She was a well-behaved girl, with a strict family, and she rarely went out at night. Not to mention sneaking out to watch a boy's performance. But she was also curious. Was it really as amazing as the girls in the class said? Hesitantly, she asked, "Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"

“Do you know how many followers they have online?”

"How many?"

The girl kept them in suspense, pausing for a few seconds on purpose. After she had kept them in suspense for a while, she whispered in their ears, "More than three million!"

Two gasps echoed immediately. Over three million fans! As students, they couldn't believe what it would be like if a classmate had over three million fans. Fan counts in this world weren't as inflated as they were in Su Yin's previous world. A true three million fans already made someone a very popular internet celebrity, and even many ordinary artists only had that many fans.

The girl who was the most excited and the best at stirring things up immediately chimed in: "Let's go! The show starts at 7 o'clock, it's not too late! So many people are watching them online, and we can see them live from so close! At worst, we can just leave halfway through!" Seeing her friends still hesitate, the girl who wanted to go with her bestie anxiously nudged another girl with her elbow, asking her to express her opinion as well. The other girl also nodded vigorously: "Let's go together!"

Looking at her two friends' eager eyes, the girl thought for a moment, clenched her fists, and nodded. "Okay, I'll go," she said, pushing up her glasses and quickly adding, "Just a little while!"

"Okay!" The three girls smiled at each other and couldn't help but look forward to the appointment on Saturday.

Similar scenes have been played out in many places over the past two months. As videos of street performances continue to spread, more and more people are beginning to notice these young men.

At this time, in the office of Yuexiang Entertainment Company, Zou Kangyu turned around excitedly and reported the latest data to Su Yin!

"This month, the views of each of our videos have stabilized at around three million! Last week's final video directly ranked third on the M-site's popular video rankings and was also reposted by many popular video accounts and social media platforms. Now the views have exceeded 10 million! We have created the first video to reach over 10 million views!"
