In the following days, the twin sisters had their own little highlight moments on the show, with a daily trending search. Their fan following soared to three million, and amazingly, their followers ranged from 90 to 3 years old. Children thought they were magical fairies, and older friends thought they played the suona well.
However, netizens also discovered that the twins were subtly excluded in the show. Not only other groups, but the program team was also making trouble.
Linglong and Linglang have grown up in a feudal society where people need to be cautious in what they say and do, so they naturally notice other people's little thoughts.
It doesn’t matter if other groups don’t want to perform with them, because they don’t want to interact with strangers anyway.
The program crew was secretly making trouble. Others basically drew Chinese songs, but they drew Thai songs, Korean songs, and Spanish songs. It didn't matter. Linglong could imitate the original singers after listening to them once, and Linglang learned to dance after watching the video twice.
The sisters responded to each opponent's moves and won all the battles. On the 9th, they defeated the FN team and became the audience's favorite group.
A new round of eight-day residence in the villa began. Linglong sang "The Mermaid's Song" facing the sea. The ethereal dolphin sound attracted several living pink dolphins.
When the camera was aimed at the ocean elves freely shuttling on the sea not far away, the live broadcast room was blank for more than ten seconds, and then it was filled with neat comments of "Sister Long is awesome", and then the barrage turned into various blessings such as "I wish me success in the postgraduate entrance examination", "I wish me to be admitted to a key university", "I wish my family good health and all the best", "I pray for getting rich quickly", and "I wish you some good luck".
That day, the search term "Long Jie and Lang Mei were the Queen of Monsters in their previous lives" topped the trending search list. People at Fire Phoenix Entertainment were left in a state of confusion, saying that netizens had a truly rich imagination.
Only Shi Xirou remained silent. Could there really be monsters in her fourth sister's world? Otherwise, Linglong and the others had a very good relationship with animals.
"Youth by the Sea" was recorded for 12 days and 8 groups were eliminated. The edited version of the first episode of the season was released yesterday. The audience response was very good and it surpassed Orange TV's new variety show "Goodbye, My Partner" to become the most popular variety show in the summer vacation.
The twins took to the show like ducks in water, and their value rose. The production team called Enke to discuss signing a new contract, and the sisters' performance fee increased from 20,000 yuan per episode to 100,000 yuan per episode.
The contract signed between the company and the sisters was a 50-50 profit split, so Shi Xirou also earned 600,000 (before tax).
——
Today is Saturday and most of the employees are on holiday. Only the trainees and artists from the performing arts department are in class.
Shi Xirou went to work happily, and after standing on the fifth floor for a while, she put away her smile.
In Dance Studio No. 1, Li Anni, a renowned dance instructor with nine years of experience, stood in front of a full-length mirror, demonstrating moves. "Hip-hop dance is all about feeling the movements. Now, follow me to the first beat of this song. Jump up, kick your left leg out to the side, and stretch your arms out to the sides. Bang! Bring your arms and legs together to your chest..."
Shi Xirou looked behind her and saw eight young men closely watching their teacher's movements and imitating them, their movements unevenly.
"For the fourth beat, while squatting in a horse stance, lean your body to the right and bump your left shoulder towards your face. Repeat this for both sides—Zhuo Yang, I didn't ask you to actually bump into him!"
The other trainees tried to hold back their laughter, and the boy called "Zhuo Yang" covered his chin awkwardly and shouted "I'm sorry, teacher!"
It's just unbearable to watch.
Shi Xirou let out a sigh of relief, went upstairs for a walk, and after calming down, she entered through the back door of the dance studio, crossed her arms, and stared at the trainees expressionlessly.
When Zhuo Yang and the youngest Xie Yanzhi saw her, they made mistakes and their faces turned pale as they fumbled to keep up with the teacher's rhythm.
Shi Xirou: "..."
Headache.
I feel like the trainee path isn't going to work.
When the break time came, eight boys came over to greet Shi Xirou, and then carefully observed Shi Xirou's expression.
Li Anni handed Shi Xirou several A4 papers, which were filled with the trainees' strengths and weaknesses, as well as future training priorities.
"Teacher Li, please go and rest for a while. I'll chat with them."
"Okay." Li Anni smiled, gave the trainees a look that told them to fend for themselves, and left slowly.
The trainees stood straight as if in military posture, without looking around (with great fear and trepidation).
Shi Xirou didn't find fault right away. While flipping through the documents, she asked, "You've been at the company for three days, right? What do you think of it?"
Wei Jibei, the oldest, spoke cautiously, "The company is great, the dormitories are comfortable, and the food is excellent. The older students take good care of us, and the teachers are amazing and teach us very seriously. We've learned a lot."
The other seven people nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "Yes, yes."
Shi Xirou asked again: "Have you heard of the show 'Youth by the Sea'?"
"have."
"I saw it, and the show was really popular."
"I've also checked. The ones currently ranked first are our Senior Sisters Linglong and Linglang."
Shi Xirou nodded and looked into their eyes. "So what do you think made the sisters so popular? Tell me one."
Wei Jibei: "Depend on your strength."
Guo Zixi: "The senior sisters are very talented and good at many things."
Gan Lanzhao: "They take every game in the show very seriously, are not afraid of hardship, and are willing to sacrifice their reputation."
Xie Yanzhi: "The senior sisters are very genuine and have great popularity among the public."
Feng Guankai: "The sisters are very smart and good at using their strengths and dividing the work and cooperating."
Zhuo Yang couldn't wait to get the answer: "The sisters have a great chemistry with each other! They're also very down-to-earth. They're very patient and polite with the islanders and staff!"
