Chapter 154
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Xie Xichao's plane landed.
The car was waiting at the door and the driver asked him where he was going. He thought for a moment and said, "The base."
Fang Qingqing glanced at him.
Xie Xichao felt inexplicably guilty. He tried to explain: "...they will be performing the day after tomorrow."
Still can't let go.
Fang Qingqing always felt that Jie Xichao had some qualities that no one else had. The simplest and most original concept of good and evil, the most delicate and thoughtful consideration, and a sense of responsibility that is absolutely above average.
For example, the three views of film and television dramas, the influence of idols, and the words and deeds of public figures. These... things should have existed but have long been forgotten by most practitioners and even audiences. He still remembers it and abides by it.
For example, repay kindness with kindness, and when faced with malice, even if you fight back, you still have room for reason.
For example, the whole world thinks he can stop here. But he could think of something else—
Another group of trainees are completely innocent.
She said, "Okay."
The little prince, who could have been lying comfortably in the golden palace, wanted to be a savior, and as a salaried person, she certainly couldn't stop him.
She discussed with Jie Xichao the work for the next period of time, and then got on the car separately from Jie Xichao.
Xie Xichao slept in the car for a while, and when he woke up, the car was already parked in front of the base gate.
He thanked them and got off the car. He didn't rush in, but bought a pack of throat lozenges at the convenience store at the door.
He threw the candy wrapper into the trash can at the door and ate the candy for a while in the night before walking into the brightly lit practice building.
What he thought was: just take a look and leave.
He couldn't sleep without taking a look. After taking a look, he realized that maybe no one needed him, so he could just go to the hotel and sleep peacefully.
After all, we are all adults...
Xie Xichao took Ding Yaya who threw herself into his arms: "Ahhh Teacher Xie TT"
Xie Xichao: “…”
Although, but.
Haven't seen you for a few days.
Classmate Ding Yaya, why have you become so delicate?
-
Become more delicate... No, it's not just Ding Yaya who has changed. Xie Xichao could see the change in his eyes.
There was guilt and regret there, things that Jie Xichao could understand the cause and effect of with a little thought.
People always have to go through the process of making mistakes and then becoming right in the process of growing up.
The way to correct it may be the guidance of others, but personal experience is enough to be unforgettable.
Xie Xichao’s usual method of teaching people is to let the other person hit a harmless wall. But this time he really didn't intend to let go. So the south wall became a wall that could not be repaired.
The most urgent task was obviously to perform, and he said directly: "There are some groups among you that I can't save."
Can't be saved.
A team that is always moving forward can still make up for some minor flaws.
For example, Liang Yi's group lacked in dance details, Ding Yaya's group cried pitifully but was actually well prepared and only needed to adjust the overall effect, and another example -
Xie Xichao originally thought that the "Wanli" group would never recover after their teammate's accident, but under the leadership of the new C position, all his previous requirements were actually implemented.
He actually received an apology from Xin C that night, which seemed a bit unnecessary. After all, it was only Qi Xiangjie who was talking behind his back, but the child spoke calmly and politely, neither humble nor arrogant. He first apologized for not speaking out to stop it in time, then explained the whole story, stated that he was willing to cooperate in testifying when necessary, and finally expressed his gratitude. Thank you Jie Xichao for your dedication over such a long period of time.
Xie Xichao glanced at the child's personal information:
Yu Song.
I'm only eighteen years old this year.
In the entertainment industry, capital is of course important. But he lacks insight and intelligence. If he meets someone he cannot compete with, one wrong move will lead to total defeat. On the contrary, if there is nothing wrong with a person, even if his background is a little poor, there will always be a chance for him to come to the fore.
There are still two or three groups left, and the overall situation is almost the same, just need some slight adjustments.
Apart from that, there is no way to save it.
It took time for Nuwa to mend the sky, and the result was public ridicule.
The remaining few stages were mercilessly criticized by countless repos on the night of the performance. It was almost predictable that after the show was aired, there would be even more mocking voices.
You reap what you sow, and no one complains. One elimination per public contestant, half of the 100 contestants will be eliminated. Most people's draft journey is like throwing a stone into the ocean, with no result.
They wasted a great opportunity.
Some people thanked Jie Xichao privately and started crying while thanking him.
Xie Xichao sighed and said, "Come on."
Ultimately, it's the fate of others. He can't change it, he can only walk his own path.
He understood.
The trainees also understood.
The eliminated people left, and those who remained sat down in the activity room.
Xie Xichao applied for a heart-to-heart talk session without cameras.
He said helplessly: "If you have something to say, just tell me directly, don't sneak little notes into my room...Are you elementary school students?"
He also has a temporary resting place at the base. Although it looks deserted these two days, it is actually very lively. There are "little surprises" every now and then.
He's almost having PTSD.
The activity room was completely silent, and the pupils' faces turned red.
Finally, one of them was brave enough to speak in a low but clear voice:
"Teacher Xie, we know we were wrong."
*
Some people know they are wrong, but no matter what they do or say, it is too late. Some people know they are wrong, but there is still a chance to make amends.
Despite this, at the end of the day, Xie Xichao still said, "Second Master, I will slightly change the way I teach you."
He paused and said, "Except for the regular classes, if you have any questions, come to me with your thoughts. If you don't even know what your problem is, then you should figure it out on your own first."
He is sifting.
Screening for people who really need help in this game.
Select people who are insightful, positive and able to persevere.
No one objected.
After the first public elimination, it’s time to prepare for the second public performance.
The trainees at this stage are like standing in the middle of a suspension bridge. The progress bar is halfway through, but there is still a fog ahead.
When the mid-term rankings were announced, the fog was slightly cleared.
The situation began to become clear. Everyone is gradually starting to have their own estimates of who will be able to debut. This is also the time for companies to make efforts. The relationship between the trainees is no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning.
Externally, after the growth line came out, fans began to express their true feelings. Expectations and rankings have become the source of all anxiety. Most trainees who have come this far want to debut. The attitude of playing badly and wasting time at the beginning was no longer seen at this stage. Everyone was practicing the second public performance pieces nervously and with all their might.
And it was at this moment that someone broke down.
-
The one who broke down was a boy that Jie Xichao had an impression of.
His ranking has actually always been in the upper circle and his ability is also good, but he made a major mistake in his first public performance. So much so that even though he had been very stable during the second public practice, he was still in extreme anxiety.
He was always cheerful and smiling in front of his fans, but that day after practice ended and everyone was exhausted and had left, he stayed in the practice room.
In the empty practice room, a boy in sportswear sat down and buried his face in his knees, falling into an uncontrollable black hole of emotions that seemed to be swallowing him up.
Just when he was about to burst into an uncontrollable sob, he suddenly heard footsteps.
He was so scared that his tears almost stopped. He looked up and saw a familiar face.
Many years later, when Yin Li had truly grown into a qualified boy band idol, he could still clearly recall that moment of eye contact in his dreams at midnight.
It would be too pretentious to say that love lasts a lifetime at first sight, but this eye contact and the brief conversation that followed did become his only spiritual support for a long time, allowing him to grit his teeth and keep going. He mentioned this point more than once in interviews and on the radio in an extremely sincere and solemn manner.
At this moment, he just looked like a frightened red-eyed rabbit.
He said: "Jie, Teacher Jie..."
Xie Xichao greeted him with a candy in his mouth:
"I'm crying."
Yin Li: “…”
Even though he was so sad that he was about to sob, he still couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Listen, is this human language?
Even though he was complaining in his heart, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Besides being embarrassed, he was also a little scared.
What happened before was still vivid in everyone’s mind, and everyone knew that Jie Xichao would not tolerate any sand in his eyes. In fact, Yin Li also felt that her crying was meaningless and cowardly. A qualified idol should be able to control all her pressure and emotions.
He was afraid that Jie Xichao would criticize him. There's nothing wrong with criticizing him. He'll just be sadder.
But Xie Xichao didn’t.
He sat down next to him, took out two things from his pocket and handed them to him.
He took it and found it was a pack of tissues and some candies.
Yin Li took it, and the candy wrapper made a tiny crunching sound in the darkness.
Jie Xichao didn't turn on the lights.
The two of them sat facing the moonlight for a while, and Xie Xichao spoke: "It must have been very hard lately."
"Are you too tired?" he asked.
His tone was gentle.
Somehow, Yin Li's nose felt sore, and the tears that he had just tried so hard to hold back just rolled down.
He shook his head vigorously and said, "...I'm afraid I'll make another mistake."
Mistake.
I’m sorry for all the hard work he’s put in, and I’m sorry for the fans who have been waiting and staying up late to vote for him.
The pressure was like a mountain and he felt like he was about to be crushed.
He thought of Jie Xichao.
He didn't know how the other party did it. From auditions to filming, he seemed to always be successful.
He also wanted to be like the other person, to live as a miracle, a miracle that would never be defeated by any words or things.
But Xie Xichao told him: "I would be scared too."
