Chapter 15
When Ai Qingyuan froze because he saw Jie Xichao's actions out of the corner of his eye, another group of people also froze. In other words, everyone watching the assessment on the field had a moment when their brain went completely blank.
Dou Yu did not write a single word on the paper with the assessment pen he was holding. He also rarely made any opening remarks to transition the conversation. It was not until Lan Yezhou unscrewed the pen cap, looked at the field, and poked his arm that he came back to his senses.
He said: "This group..."
"What a precise timing." Li Lin said softly.
Her personality has always been pure and sweet, so she always smiles before speaking in front of the camera. This was the first time she forgot to control her expression and made a direct comment.
She was not looking in the direction of Ai Qingyuan.
"The breathing is very steady." Qiu Xuerui on the side also took over the conversation.
Although there is no rap part in the theme song, she is also a member of the group idol and is equally familiar with singing and dancing.
“He knows how to minimize the impact of his breathing on the microphone when singing a cappella,” she continued, “so it’s very comfortable to listen to, and it doesn’t sound like he’s out of breath.”
"But he must be very tired." Lan Yezhou pushed his glasses and took over the conversation.
He was the calmest person among them, which was in stark contrast to his excitement when facing Jie Xichao during the initial stage evaluation. But in fact, this was not expected. As an autistic creator, he only cared about his work and had no interest in singing and dancing.
He looked at Jie Xichao. If at the beginning he was only interested in the songs written by Jie Xichao, now this interest has shifted to Jie Xichao himself.
He could see that Xie Xichao was very tired.
His physical strength was still not enough to support him to sing and dance so vigorously, but his eyes, his movements, and even his breathing were calm and determined.
There is a roaring lion in the heart of this handsome boy, and his weak body becomes a shackle for the lion.
But the fetters had already been loosened, and when they fell off completely, the lion would no longer be restrained.
It will gracefully leave the cage and stand on the highest mountain top.

——Of course, these are the psychological activities of the tutor.
The trainees present were not as professional as mature artists.
They were fully focused on the intense accompaniment.
Raise your hand, turn around, and leap lightly. Everyone knows that the theme song of "Super Rookie" has detailed movements and a strong sense of rhythm, and the two people standing side by side on the field are actually dancing very accurately.
but……
It's just different.
These five words flashed through everyone's mind.
The two men performed the same movements, but Jie Xichao looked more beautiful and neat.
Perhaps it was his calm expression, or perhaps it was his attention to detail that was impeccable even down to his fingertips, not to mention Jie Xichao's voice which was noticeably steadier.
Everyone skipped the theme song, but Jie Xichao was the only one who made it his own song.
There is no second person.
After the one and a half minute accompaniment ended, the whole audience fell silent.
Then--
For the first time, warm applause broke out in the arena.
The applause lasted for a long time. In the enthusiastic wave, the chief director Ma Hongping opened his mouth wide, stunned.
*
Ma Hongping was in a good mood today.
The negotiations with Shenghong went smoothly. After all, it is a big company and they have confidence in their trainees.
After the program team expressed their willingness to cooperate with the publicity and promotion, they stopped being aggressive.
Originally, as long as Ai Qingyuan secures the initial C position, there will be ten thousand hot searches, marketing accounts and even female fans waiting for him. They will not hesitate to use words to praise him and completely blow Ai Qingyuan into the next rising star and top king.
Ma Hongping doesn't have any psychological burden about this.
You will feel guilty if you exaggerate. Your child is already excellent, so what's wrong with bragging about him?
He thought of ten thousand excuses to make himself feel at ease, but he never thought that Ai Qingyuan would be inferior to others.
Even this other person, in his opinion, was just a vase with a little talent.
He felt terrible. The intern next to him stole a glance at his expression and said, "Teacher Ma..."
"Don't be impatient." Ma Hongping interrupted her.
At the same time, he took a deep breath.
Don't be in a hurry. He said to himself.
The initial C is determined by voting on the floor.
Even if we don't consider Sheng Hong's face, the trainees have already had the same thinking habits about Ai Qingyuan as he does. They must have thought that Ai Qingyuan must be the initial C.
Besides, besides... he thought in despair. If he chose Li Xichao, he would not be in good health. He might have to take a break several times when recording the first stage. It would be so troublesome, right?
He was lost in thought and held the ticket in Dou Yu's hand tightly.
Dou Yu felt unprecedented pressure as he held the ticket.
He was also praying silently, praying that there would not be a tie.
If there is a tie, the trainees will vote anonymously, but he will make the final decision using his real name.
Who will he choose then?
Dou Yu closed his eyes.
Li Lin on the side took the ticket and started to sing and take notes with Qiu Xuerui.
A minute later, she called Dou Yu's name softly: "Brother Yu, the vote count is out."
Dou Yu felt his heart beat faster: "Who is taller?"
Li Lin handed him the result. Dou Yu took a quick look at it and his heart finally settled down.
Then, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. In the expectant eyes of everyone, he slowly raised his head and showed his perfect smile again: "Yes, the results are out."
"The theme song center position was chosen from among the 11 A-level trainees." Dou Yu said, "This trainee received more votes than the second place in this anonymous vote."
He paused, then continued, "He has 45 votes in total."
As soon as the words fell, exclamations came from the audience.
There were 100 trainees on site, excluding 11 candidates, so the total valid votes were 89.
Candidate C alone received more than half of the votes, which was an overwhelming advantage.
"Yes." Dou Yu adjusted his headset.
He was so emotional that someone seemed to say something in his headset, but he didn't hear it at all. He just said quickly to himself, "Our first C got 45 votes in total, 21 votes higher than the second place. Not only did he get the most votes in the whole show, but he also broke the record of 39 votes for the first C in the three editions of Super Rookie."
He took a deep breath, raised his head, and said slowly: "His name is--"
"Jie Xichao."

Six o'clock in the evening.
A certain entertainment forum raised a high-rise building called "Super Rookie" re-evaluation recording building on time.
As the moderator of the domestic entertainment talent show section and a veteran fan of Ai Qingyuan, this is already the seventeenth "Super Rookie" material floor that the host Tuzi has opened. She skillfully wrote down the floor rules of "no quarreling when chatting, no spreading rumors when moving content", and then posted a recent fan-shot photo of Ai Qingyuan that she had selected.
Soon, there were many comments below.
iii: Here I come, good evening, Sister Rabbit, this photo of Xiao Ai is so handsome [lick]
I am Lu Xing's dog: Has it been recorded for a long time? I saw that the blogger who released the material on wb has updated several times, and I am a little nervous watching it
I will never watch talent shows again: Well, they said it was almost halfway through the recording, and they also said that the trainees this year were very hardworking. The stupid production team started to cheat again. This year's talent show has been a mess since the official photos. There have been so many talent shows in China, and all the good ones have been picked long ago.
iii: Is Sister Rabbit nervous? hhh But Xiao Ai will definitely be fine, even non-fans know this.
Rabbit: A little bit, but I believe him [heart]
sdklgh: Someone on Weibo said that you can tell from the official photos that each class is worse than the previous one. It's so funny.
Are there really only a few good-looking ones this year, aqy, jy, xxz? Actually fwz is also OK, but we don't like cool guys here.
iii: I am dying of laughter, it is true, so I am not nervous at all now as I don’t have a pick, I hope I can have something fun to watch later
A Star: Here I am. I am so tired after a day’s work. I can finally follow our Xiao Hu Zong’s activities. What time will the recording end? By the way, who is xxz? The forum abbreviation is really unfriendly to people like me who are new to the forum.
iii: Jie Xichao?
I will never watch talent shows again: I guess it’s been recorded until around 8 or 9 o’clock, and I just said it’s almost halfway. xxz Jie Xichao, aren't he and Ji Yan always called the beautiful waste duo?
sdklgh: Hahaha
I will never watch talent shows again: they have a really good relationship, my sister is with the front line, she is dating Ji Yan, saying that these two hang out together every day, but according to her, xxz himself is better looking than the official photos, he is the visual center in her heart
iii: Is this true? Can the handsome guy stay for a few more rounds?
I am Lu Xing’s dog: Why is xxz suddenly so popular? I am also on the front line. It is generally recognized among our team that he is good-looking. But it’s good enough that he didn’t get eliminated in the first round, right? He doesn't even have many active followers on Weibo, and he majored in mathematics. Unless this is a math test, I can't think of any reason why he would stay in the second round.
Give you flowers: I laughed so hard, but learning mathematics is a way to gain fans for a science nerd like me.
I am Lu Xing's dog: not Tao, the main program has not been broadcast and there is no material. The buildings opened by Rabbit Sister these two days are not high, and this session is a bit polarized
sdklgh: The default setting on wb is primary C.
I am Lu Xing's dog: Well, AQY, for sure, his qualifications are really good
I will never watch talent shows again: Oh... it's so boring. Last year, the two contests had fun competing for the C spot, but this year's lock on the C spot is really boring (I'm not saying Xiao Ai is bad, don't get me wrong)
Rabbit: Yeah, I know.
sdklgh: It's not bad. In previous years, one of the contestants for C was promoted by the production team. After his debut, he went from top to mid. It's so funny. At least aqy himself can take on the role of C. No one can compete with him this time.
iii: But I think he is very childish (. By the way, why has there been no news from wb for so long?
One Star: It’s been a long time since I last updated. Uh, I won’t scold you for being boring, but I’d like to say something.
…
I am Lu Xing’s Dog: Damn, the program crew seems to have failed!
rabbit:……:)
iii:? What
I am Lu Xing’s dog: [Screenshot] Someone just posted this on Super Talk, and it was deleted in seconds by a trainee from the show’s production team
I will never watch a talent show again: Damn it! ! ! "The first C is not Ai Qingyuan"! ! !
sdklgh:Ah? ? ?
