Teacher Li said, "Our competition isn't all about singing and dancing. We've already had those on stage. Our second group's competition will consist of new games."
This was something no one else had expected.
Teacher Li smiled and said, "The competition we're going to have is to recite lyrics."
The rules of the game are very simple: keywords will be displayed on the big screen, and the contestants will compete to see who can say the lyrics containing the keyword the fastest. The person who says the most and the fastest wins.
After reading it, An Ran nodded: "No problem."
Jian Xingsui's smile almost froze on her lips, but in the end she nodded with tears in her eyes: "No problem."
His only difficulty was that although he had heard many songs, most of them were from a time too far removed from his previous life, and after being reborn in this life, he couldn't remember the lyrics very clearly. In his memory, the lyrics of Fu Jinxiao were undoubtedly the most memorable.
Teacher Li's voice rang out: "Start the timer!"
The words "Sea" appeared on the big screen.
An Ran was still thinking when Jian Xingsui blurted out, "If the sea breeze can't bring everything, I won't wait in the same place."
Teacher Li raised his hand: "Green team, 1 point."
The contestants all applauded and cheered. An Ran was a little out of breath. He knew that Jian Xingsui's dance foundation was poor. He originally wanted to use this to suppress her, but he did not expect that the competition would be this. What angered him the most was that he did not expect Jian Xingsui to react so quickly!
The words "晴" appeared on the screen again.
An Ran and Jian Xingsui blurted out at the same time:
"Wind on a sunny day, rain on a cloudy day"
"An umbrella that won't come on a sunny day will come when it rains; you'll learn to bring your own on a rainy day."
Teacher Li asked the production team to slow down the playback to make sure Jian Xingsui spoke faster, then smiled with a hint of regret and said, "Sorry, the Little Green team has scored another point."
This incredible comeback earned another round of applause from the audience.
The later lyrics became increasingly difficult. Was Jian Xingsui somehow cheating, always able to recall the lyrics quickly, even without hesitation for some of them?
At the end, Teacher Li announced: "Green team has 16 points, Red team has 3 points, Green team wins!"
Shen Xingchen jumped up and cheered, then hugged Jian Xingsui and smiled as if he had never won in his life: "You're amazing, really amazing, you've made your brother proud!"
An Ran's smile was forced.
Teacher Li also remarked, asking the other judges, "What do you all think?"
Tuya picked up the microphone and said, "I really didn't expect this, Jian Xingsui, how did you manage to react so quickly? Just how many songs have you listened to?"
Jian Xingsui was surprised to be called out, so she thought for a moment and replied tactfully, "I just heard it a lot, and over time, I naturally remembered it."
Jian Xingsui matched 16 of the lyrics, 11 of which were from Fu Yingdi's songs. Some of them were relatively obscure, so no one else recognized them except Fu Jinxiao.
Tuya looked at Fu Jinxiao and said, "Teacher Fu, what do you think? How would you rate it?"
Fu Jinxiao sat in the middle chair. He hummed in agreement, his amorous phoenix eyes lifting as he glanced at Jian Xingsui with a half-smile. Although he hadn't spoken yet, that one glance made Jian Xingsui feel as if he had been completely seen through, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
Fu Jinxiao stared at her for a moment.
At this moment, perhaps Fu Yingdi's heart was also filled with mixed feelings, but he did not show it.
"I think...it's pretty good."
As Jian Xingsui looked up in shock, Fu Yingdi spoke slowly and deliberately, a smile playing on his lips: "Xingsui's playlist is very tasteful. I like it very much. Keep it up, young man."
This was just normal encouragement in other people's eyes, but for some reason, it felt a little hot to Jian Xingsui's ears. It was as if Fu Jinxiao had seen through his preferences but hadn't stopped him, and instead... had even encouraged him. He felt a little embarrassed.
But Jian Xingsui could only force a bow: "Thank you, Brother Fu. I will continue to work hard."
Fu Jinxiao seemed to have gotten addicted to teasing him, and replied in a serious tone, "Keep it up."
The other trainees, unaware of his meaning, continued to jeer. Only An Ran looked unwell; he had never felt so defeated before, having actually lost to Jian Xingsui. But upon closer inspection, he realized that Jian Xingsui hadn't taken him seriously at all, instead busy discussing with his roommates how they would eat hot pot after winning!
"..."
I don't know why, but I got even angrier.
…
Three days later
After Xingxiu shut down its live streams for several days, it suddenly released an edited version of the trainees' performances three days later. Soon after this version aired, it became a trending topic, and two names appeared frequently in the trending topics: one was praised and the other was criticized.
#Anran, the Little Angel#
#Don't be too simplistic in your life#
Curious netizens clicked on the latest episode of "Star Show" and understood why. This episode included some previously unaired bonus content, including An Ran bringing food to students who didn't have parents visiting them at the library, sharing food in the dormitory later, and An Ran's various outstanding performances.
Meanwhile, in order to create buzz and conflict, the edited content included Jian Xingsui being ungrateful, refusing to eat pastries, acting like a diva by staying aloof and not talking to others, and in the final competition with An Ran, she actually won against An Ran despite being a terrible dancer, which was considered "unfair."
even
In an attempt to stir up trouble, the production team maliciously edited Fu Jinxiao's praise, "I think you're very good, you have great taste, keep it up, keep it up," into a compliment to An Ran. Under this manipulation, An Ran was portrayed as the one who was wronged and lost, while Jian Xingsui was depicted as someone who caused trouble and was ungrateful from beginning to end.
Netizens are furious:
"You drama queen, get out of Star Show, okay?"
"They're taking advantage of Ranran's kindness."
"I've been tired of seeing him for a long time, really."
Generally, most people are willing to believe what they see and enjoy it.
As online discussions grew, and the popularity and controversy surrounding the show intensified, many staff members in a local photography studio were also discussing the matter.
When Fu Jinxiao came out, she noticed that many staff members seemed to be talking about something.
Back in the lounge, Actor Fu glanced at his assistant, whose face was grim, but didn't ask anything. He simply said slowly, "Remember today? The edited version of 'Star Show' was released."
The assistant, not expecting this man to suddenly turn hostile, timidly replied, "Yes."
Fu Jinxiao said, "Bring me the tablet, let me take a look."
The assistant was actually a little nervous. Brother Fu was known in the industry for his good temper, but everyone around him knew that when he got angry, he was so ruthless that it made people's hearts tremble. It was the kind of ruthlessness that people would rather go to see the King of Hell than see him. This time, the production team dared to maliciously edit and create conflict without consulting him first. If this grandpa found out, who knew what would happen.
Actually, this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If Jian Xingsui doesn't carry much weight with Brother Fu, then the production team will probably just apologize and the matter will be over. But if that kid is really lucky and gains influence with Fu Jinxiao, then this matter will be a big deal. Given Fu Jinxiao's personality, he will definitely not let it go.
The assistant hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to probe: "Brother, you've recorded an episode of this talent show, are there any contestants you particularly admire or like?"
"Hmm?" Fu Jinxiao took the tablet and slowly said, "Why gossip about this? What's there to appreciate or not appreciate? They're just a bunch of little kids, all pretty much the same."
The assistant secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed everything was alright.
However, before she could even catch her breath, Fu Jinxiao, who had been nonchalant just moments before, began to darken his expression after opening Weibo. This was a long time ago; his assistant had never seen him with this expression before. The last time he looked like this was a long time ago, a year ago, when a female celebrity had sneaked into his bed and was kicked against the wall by Fu Jinxiao, who then called security to handle the situation.
And this time...
The assistant secretly glanced at Fu Jinxiao's expression and felt that things were probably not going to end well.
