“Your performance was good overall, the best so far, but…” An Jing paused, her gaze lingering on Lin Qingyan, and said directly, “Lin Qingyan, you sang very well, but you made two small mistakes in your dance moves just now.”
“Yes, I noticed that too, but overall it still looks great, very handsome,” Cynthia added.
Vocal coach Song Qi said with some surprise, "Really? I didn't even notice, I was so focused on listening to him sing."
Rap instructor Ouyang Fan hooked his arm around Song Qi's shoulder and joked with a smile, "Brother, let's not talk, we two dance idiots who are all out of sync."
Song Qi pouted helplessly, "Fine."
[Hahaha, Ouyang Fan, why are you speaking such blunt truths!]
It's okay, as long as Song Song sings well!
Lin Qingyan placed her hands in front of her, bowed politely, and said earnestly, "Yes, I am indeed not very familiar with this dance. I will continue to work hard in the future. Thank you for pointing it out, mentors."
[Yan Yan is so well-behaved and sincere! It's okay, keep trying, I believe in you! Go for it!!]
[This Lin Qingyan's skills are nothing special. His singing is okay, but his dancing is terrible.]
[What? What? What? Did I jump wrong? Where did I jump wrong? I didn't notice!] Remember https://m.
[His dancing is definitely not great, but his singing is absolutely amazing! His voice is so beautiful!!]
A barrage of doubts immediately appeared in the comments, but Lu Yuqi then said something that instantly made the doubting netizens feel like they had been proven wrong:
"Lin Qingyan injured his leg before, and he spent three days practicing the dance for this song. The other three of us had been practicing for more than ten days." Seeing that Lin Qingyan didn't intend to explain, Lu Yuqi explained for him.
Upon hearing this, the mentors on stage and the contestants in their seats were all surprised. If someone could reach that level in just three days, that was truly remarkable!
An Jing said, "Yes, I can testify to that. I was there during the interview, and his leg was indeed injured."
As soon as An Jing finished speaking, the post-production team showed a video of Lin Qingyan's job interview. When An Jing asked him if he could dance, Lin Qingyan rolled up his trouser leg to reveal his calf wrapped in white gauze and honestly said that he had fallen and injured himself while climbing a tree. The comments section burst into laughter again.
Although it sounds pathetic, I really want to laugh, hahaha!
[Yan Yan is so honest, hahaha, I really like him so much!]
Those who said he wasn't good enough have been proven wrong, haven't they? The dance moves are so complex; to be able to dance like this in just three days is already incredibly impressive.
[What a treasure of a boy! I'm in love! I'm so sorry, Lu Yuqi, I'm switching allegiance!]
Next, the mentors asked questions to the other contestants and finally determined their rankings. The four mentors discussed for a long time, seemingly encountering a difficult problem that they couldn't solve. Even the viewers in front of the screen were on the edge of their seats.
Finally, An Jing began to announce the results: "Liu Yang and Li Chuan are the trainees under Yihua Entertainment who received a B grade."
[What?! Lin Qingyan isn't a B? Could she be a C?]
[Lu Yuqi is definitely an A, could Lin Qingyan also be an A?]
An Jing continued, "The one who got an A grade is Lu Yuqi..." He paused for a moment, and amidst everyone's doubtful and expectant gazes, he loudly called out Lin Qingyan's name.
It seems both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.
The surprise wasn't limited to the contestants and the audience; it also surprised Lin Qingyan. Unable to find a way to get an A, he excitedly hugged Lu Yuqi next to him, a joyful smile on his handsome face, his peach blossom eyes sparkling. "Thank you, mentors, thank you everyone. I will continue to work hard, thank you."
Looking at the smile on the boy's face, An Jing smiled back and said gently, "We were a little hesitant at first, but after discussing it, we all agreed that you can get an A. In order to live up to this A, you'll have to work harder in the future."
"Yes, I will definitely try my best!"
The first A-ranked players appeared, and there were two of them. Regardless of what the other players were thinking—whether they were envious, jealous, or resentful—they were all outwardly applauding and cheering for them.
Annan, sitting among the contestants, clapped happily for them, but secretly clenched his fists, the flesh under his nails sinking deep into his palms, as if everything was out of his control.
[YiHua is truly amazing! Two A-level contestants and two B-level contestants, they totally crush the contestants from those smaller companies!]
[Qiqi and Yan Yan are both amazing!! So it turns out that outstanding people hang out together? Two A's, two A's, so cool!!]
I can understand Lu Yuqi getting an A, but Lin Qingyan...
Could Lin Qingyan be royalty?
[Speechless... This guy is really good at singing and dancing, it's normal for him to get an A, right? Anyway, I couldn't take my eyes off him from the moment he started playing the piano.]
Yes! Yan Yan really amazed me! I'll call her "wife" on behalf of everyone else!
[Yihua's contestants are already so amazing, I'm really looking forward to Chenxing's contestants! By the way, isn't An Jing's younger brother from Chenxing?]
Chenxing was the second to last to appear. Including An Nanyi, there were a total of five trainees. Their song style was similar to Yihua's, both being energetic and explosive, and they were also very talented.
Whether it was due to nervousness or something else, Annan accidentally cracked his voice when singing a high note, but overall it was not bad. His ability is considered to be among the top level of all the contestants.
[Sister-in-law is here to cheer on Nan Nan! Go for it!!]
[Nan Nan is like a fairy descended to earth, she's so beautiful!]
[Nan Nan sang so perfectly, I believe you can get an A!!]
[Ugh... were those people in the comments trolls? Is this even considered perfect? She sang off-key, and An Nanyi's makeup is way too heavy!]
Annan Yi's appearance is not particularly stunning; his features are rather delicate. However, he looks much better with makeup, so his makeup is usually quite exquisite, which is why he has many fans.
"I heard that An Nanyi's brother is one of our mentors here, is that true?"
All eyes turned to An Jing. An Jing sighed and said with a smile, "It's me, it's me. But don't worry, I'm fair and just to every contestant here. I still hope everyone will like Nan Nan."
"Thank you, Teacher An." An Nanyi smiled slyly at An Jing, but her eyes welled up with tears again a moment later. She said with some self-blame and disappointment, "Actually, I feel really sorry for my teammates. I cracked during the high notes just now."
“I stand here today to prove myself with my own strength. I am An Nanyi, not An Jing’s younger brother.” He bowed deeply to everyone who was present, and then said with a choked voice, “I will work hard to prove myself with my actions in the future. Thank you everyone.”
"Nan Nan, you're awesome! Keep it up!!"
"come on!!"
Lu Yuqi's lips twitched slightly. Unable to bear looking directly at him, he opened his eyes and coldly uttered two words: "Pretentious."
He glanced at Lin Qingyan beside him, who was watching the people on stage with great interest. He nudged the boy's arm with his elbow and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing." Lin Qingyan smiled gently. A few days had passed, and it seemed that An Nanyi's acting skills had improved somewhat.
[Our hearts aches for Nan Nan, baby. You're the best in our hearts. Fighting, Nan Nan!!]
【Nan Nan, you've done amazing!!】
[SOS! Help!! Am I the only one who thinks he's so pretentious? Proving himself based on ability? Without An Jing, who would even know you, An Nanyi?]
I just want to know what brand of makeup he uses? His makeup doesn't smudge even when he cries, I really want to get the same brand...
Regardless, his final grade was B.
[I don't understand. Lin Qingyan got an A, but Nan Nan only got a B. I think Nan Nan performed much better than Lin Qingyan.]
[Is there some kind of shady deal? Lin Qingyan made two mistakes in the dance moves, and Nan Nan only sang one off-key note, so why did he get an A?]
[Wow, are An Nanyi's fans all blind? Lin Qingyan's talent was recognized by all four mentors. Are they more professional than you?]
There's no need to put down one and praise the other, is there? It's already been said that Lin Qingyan only practiced the dance for three days, and to be able to dance like this is already very impressive, okay?
...
The first episode of Tomorrow's Stars caused quite a stir after it aired. As the first boy group talent show in China, many netizens watched it out of curiosity or to see some fun, but they ended up getting hooked.
The mentor lineup is strong. Although the first few stages were not very good, the contestants who appeared later on were increasingly strong and good-looking, and each of them had a different personality.
The most memorable characters are the arrogant Lu Yuqi and the silly beauty Lin Qingyan.
On the night the show aired, both of their names trended on Weibo, and many netizens followed the trail to find Lin Qingyan's live stream account.
[These silly netizens weren't lying! Lin Qingyan's live stream was absolutely hilarious, it's my source of joy!!]
[The part where he was forced to abandon Li Sao by fans was so funny! What did Yan Yan do wrong? He just wanted to sing and dance, why did they have to force him to abandon Li Sao? Hahaha]
[Thanks to Tomorrow's Stars, I discovered this treasure of a boy, Lin Qingyan! He's handsome, well-behaved, talented, and funny in a serious way—it's hard not to love him.]
[The arrogant king and the silly beauty, I'm shipping this couple first!]
In no time, Lin Qingyan's debut stage performance and live video were widely forwarded by netizens, and her Weibo account, which originally had only tens of thousands of followers, quickly gained more followers.
The fast-paced fans have already started staying up all night editing videos, writing fanfiction, and drawing fan art.
