Chapter 4
Although it is said to be entering the venue, there is actually still a long time before the official recording.
After entering, there was another hall where the trainees sat in groups of three or four to rest, waiting for the program crew and the rest of the people.
Jie Xichao and Ji Yan found a place to sit down and listened to the people around them discussing the lineup of mentors this time.
"The main MC this time is Dou Yu." Ji Yan said, "Brother, do you know Dou Yu?"
Xie Xichao did not disappoint his expectations: "I don't know."
Ji Yan sighed resignedly.
He often felt that he was a mobile Baidu Encyclopedia of the entertainment industry to his brother.
"Dou Yu debuted as a solo artist six years ago," he said. "He, Ai Qingyuan, and Ni Xin are all artists of Shenghong, so he is considered their senior. At the same time, Dou Yu is also the most popular active male idol at present."
"I heard that he is a nice guy." Ji Yan said.
Xie Xichao had been listening very carefully before, but after hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "It's better not to listen to rumors about this kind of thing."
Ji Yan was stunned.
But soon, he reacted: "That's right."
You can know a person’s face but not his heart. There is a lot of personal marketing in the entertainment industry.
He casually asked, "Brother, have you ever been cheated by someone like this?"
Jie Xichao smiled.
He usually played this kind of person when he was on missions before.
Seeing that he smiled without saying anything, Ji Yan thought it was true, and a surge of sympathy surged in his heart, so he changed the subject. He continued, "The dance instructor and rap instructor are both idols in the group, but the vocal instructor is a little special, he is a very young singer-songwriter."
"Lan Yezhou." Xie Xichao said.
Ji Yan was a little surprised: "Brother, do you know him?"
He thought Jie Xichao really had traveled through time from ancient times?
Jie Xichao opened his palm towards him, and inside lay a white headphone box.
"The songs he wrote are very nice." said Xie Xichao.

Soon, everyone arrived. Next, there is a short rehearsal time.
Rehearsals do not require real performances, so the physical exertion is not very great. But after the rehearsal, Xie Xichao still stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth.
While chewing, he threw the wrapper into the trash can beside him. When he turned around, he saw a golden head squatting next to him.
The boy has a chubby face, tender skin and watery eyes. I don’t know if he has reached adulthood.
Xie Xichao felt that they looked a little unfamiliar - in fact, he only remembered a few of the 100 trainees here. In order to avoid the embarrassment of having seen it but lost his memory, he asked directly: "Do you want to eat it?"
The boy stared at the chocolate in his hand for a long time.
The boy hesitated for a moment.
Jie Xichao took out a bucket of chocolates from the bag beside her.
The boy opened his mouth into an "O" shape: "..."
Jie Xichao felt that he had stayed in the system for too long. In fact, when he returned to the real world, he looked at young people including Ji Yan like children, not to mention that the one in front of him was a real child.
He rummaged through his bag for some other snacks, but as he handed them over, he said, "Remember to drink some water after you finish eating, or your throat will be dry."
The boy has already started peeling off the wrapping paper.
He really could eat a lot. In the blink of an eye, a piece of chocolate went into his stomach silently. He carefully unpacked another strip of beef jerky. When his cheeks were bulging with food, he suddenly remembered something and raised his head:
"Thanks."
The sound is unclear.
Xie Xichao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter."
Fearing that he would not feel comfortable while eating, he stood up and left his original position.
*
This was just a small episode for Xie Xichao. The only thing he felt was that the real world was indeed more fun than the mission world.
In fact, the mission world is also a real world in parallel time and space, but probably because he is an NPC, it is always difficult for him to have true friends, and it is also difficult for him to have time to slow down and do what he wants to do aimlessly.
After the rehearsal and touch-up, the recording officially began.
The first thing I filmed was entering the venue and choosing my seats.
The entering teams are usually divided by company, and the order is determined by the program team. You can choose your own seat, mainly for the topics that arise.
Ji Yan's appearance was arranged in the middle, and Jie Xichao was the third.
When they separated, Ji Yan was worried: "Brother, can you do it alone?"
Xie Xichao said calmly: "Ji Yan, don't be a father at such a young age."
So Ji Yan was driven away by his words.
Jie Xichao was sitting in the waiting room. In front of him in the queue was an individual trainee who had not signed with any company, and behind him was a group of young boys with average abilities who were cute and funny. The whole place was filled with an air of being ignored.
He sat among the flowers and took the form handed to him by the staff to give himself a self-rating.
After filling it out, the staff looked surprised.
But the other party didn't say anything and left quickly and well-trainedly.
The boy next to him didn't notice anything unusual. He got bored of chatting with his friends and came over to chat with him: "Jie, Xi, Chao, hey, your names sound nice. Hello, I'm from Birthday Star, what's your self-rating?"
Xie Xichao said: "A."
The boy's eyes widened.
The ratings are divided into A, B, C, D, and F. Although self-rating is one's own evaluation, unless one is particularly confident, one generally will not give himself the highest grade.
After all, except for people like Ai Qingyuan, no trainee would really think that he or she is perfect enough to debut without any improvement.
Even if you feel this way in your heart, you can't say it out loud in the talent show.
"...I got a D." The boy looked at himself and began to doubt his life, "Did I get too low?"
His companion said coldly: "Then do you dare to fight up?"
He recognized Xichao and was surprised at his self-rating, but he didn't say anything out of respect, thinking that he was trying to encourage him. So he used words to pull the kid from his company to him: "Okay, why do you pry so much into other people's privacy? You'll know it later anyway."
The boy didn't understand the hidden meaning.
He looked at Li Xichao carefully for a while and found that he seemed to be particularly handsome.
"Which company are you from? How many years have you been training? Do you want to make your debut?" he asked curiously.
His companion turned away resignedly.
Child.
It's really annoying.
What he didn't expect was that Xie Xichao, who was always said to be difficult to approach, answered the other party's question very patiently:
"Yao Xin's, it won't take long, think about it."
He asked the boy, "Don't you want to?"
The boy hesitated: "I..."
Of course I do.
But this is not something he can decide...
He sighed: "I want to, but my strength is too weak."
He blinked his eyes: "Where do you want to sit later? How about we sit together?"
He has a good impression of Jie Xichao. Seeing him all alone, I felt a little sorry for him.
But this time, the seemingly good-tempered person rejected him.
"I'm sorry." He said, "This may be a little inconvenient."
Forty minutes later, everyone present understood why it was inconvenient.
After a brief self-introduction, the thin boy with a pale complexion slightly adjusted his headset and began to walk up the stairs.
As he walked, he responded to everyone's greetings. Go all the way to the top.
Then, in full view of the crowd and the cameras, he calmly sat down at the top of the pyramid.
