Chapter 4
At this moment, she felt her blood rushing up.
She withdrew from the shortlist and carefully read the official release.
It is on the shortlist, for sure.
Only after confirming that he was selected did Lin Qingyi dare to open the chat interface with Tan Xiaoran.
I saw that the other party's message quickly reached 99+.
She kept flipping up and finally found the message at 12 o'clock.
Rising Sun: [We both got selected! ]
Seeing this message, Lin Qingyi felt a little ashamed. She was only focused on herself and didn't pay attention to whether Tan Xiaoran was on the list.
But fortunately, they both passed.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for both of them.
Lin Qingyi opened the list again. She looked at number 50, then at number 90, and for some reason her eyes looked at the number next to number 90.
No. 89.
She also went in.
The girl who looks like a kitten.
Somehow, Lin Qingyi could never forget her. Maybe it was because of her clear and beautiful appearance, or maybe it was something else, she didn't know.
They will start recording the show a week after the shortlist is announced.
That means 'going to the island.'
The time on the island lasted for three months, which is a quarter. It was impossible for Lin Qingyi to hide it from Yan Jieping any longer.
She needs to find time to explain this matter to Yan Jieping.
Now that it has been confirmed, even if she is unwilling to say it in her heart, she can only tell the truth.
She wanted to find a night time, maybe tonight.
In the evening, the three of them sat at the dinner table. Lin Qingyi finished her meal in silence as usual, but this time, she did not choose to return to her room immediately after eating. Instead, she glanced at Yan Jieping.
She didn't expect that Yan Jieping was looking at her at the same time.
After the two looked at each other, before Lin Qingyi could speak, Yan Jieping took the lead and said, "Qingyi, come to the study tonight. I want to talk to you about something."
She was surprised at Yan Jieping's sharpness, but she also became nervous in her heart.
Lin Qingyi followed Yan Jieping and they both walked into the study.
This time, Yan Jieping did not choose to speak first, but looked at Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi said nervously, "Aunt Yan, I participated in the audition and was shortlisted."
Yan Jieping runs an entertainment company, so Lin Qingyi doesn't need to explain. Yan Jieping is only more familiar with this talent show she mentioned than she is.
Yan Jieping just nodded and didn't say much about this matter. As long as it was not something she could not accept, she would respect Lin Qingyi.
She looked at Lin Qingyi, her dark eyes still expressionless, and she simply said, "You haven't signed with a company, so it must be difficult for you to get on the show. If you need anything, you can contact me."
After saying this, Yan Jieping hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "So, when you went out those few days, you weren't going to have a relationship, right?"
Lin Qingyi didn't expect that she still remembered this matter, and nodded.
Seeing her nod, Yan Jieping seemed to relax a little. "You're still young, there's no need to rush this kind of thing. Now that you're going to participate in the talent show, you should pay more attention to your private emotional issues. On the screen, everything will be magnified."
Lin Qingyi certainly understood this logic. She looked at Yan Jieping. Yan Jieping rarely said these things to her. She was surprised and touched at the same time.
For her, this was the long-lost maternal love.
She hummed obediently, and before closing the door, after hesitating for a while, she said, "I understand, Mom."
Through the gap in the closed door, Lin Qingyi saw her surprised expression. Yan Jieping had raised her for so many years, but Lin Qingyi had always called her Aunt Yan. On the one hand, Lin Qingyi was unable to change her ways, and on the other hand, she did not want to take away Yan Feiyang's mother.
But over the years, Lin Qing has treated her as his own mother.
She had waited for this sound for a long time, and Yan Jieping had also waited for a long time.
The next day, Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran went out.
The week from the announcement of the shortlist to the start of recording is the time for the contestants to prepare for their first stage performance.
This week's practice will determine the level they will be assigned to in the show.
The two of them chose for a long time and each chose the area they were best at.
They chose a song with more rap content because neither of them was very good at singing, especially Lin Qingyi.
The two spent the whole night choosing a song that was more suitable.
Lin Qingyi's voice is relatively soft and delicate, so the rap part is not suitable for her. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and take charge of the singing part of the song.
They practiced together, mainly dancing.
This was Lin Qingyi's first time watching this troupe and also her first time coming into contact with this kind of cool dance. She was worried that she would not be able to control it.
Tan Xiaoran knew a dance teacher, so the two decided to learn with the dance teacher. Having a dedicated teacher would be more targeted and phased than her own practice.
It would have been fine if they hadn't studied together, but after they started studying together they realized that their progress was completely different.
Tan Xiaoran thought that she was not slow in learning dance and her dancing was not bad, but compared with the excellent student next door, Lin Qingyi, her limbs seemed to have just grown out. Not only was she slow in learning, but her dancing was not on the same level as Lin Qingyi.
Even the dance teacher was surprised.
Tan Xiaoran was a little heartbroken, but she soon cheered up.
She must practice hard and not hold Lin Qingyi back.
In the following time, Lin Qingyi basically learned the dance moves hundreds of steps ahead of her, and then he improved his expression management and added some small movements that suited him to make the dance more perfect.
When Tan Xiaoran first discovered that she was a slow learner, she quietly practiced the dance moves at home, and then asked her dance teacher to help her with the moves.
In this way, it took about four days for the two of them to be able to dance in unison.
Then comes singing practice.
On the fifth day, the two tried singing and dancing at the same time.
Lin Qingyi looked so handsome when she was dancing, but her style was ruined as soon as she started singing. Tan Xiaoran couldn't help laughing whenever she heard her singing.
Lin Qingyi was also helpless. She couldn't just not sing a word. She had thought about asking Tan Xiaoran to cut some of the rap part and let her sing it. But when she started singing, it turned out to be funnier than singing. In Tan Xiaoran's words, it was like talking in a sleep, while singing at least had a tune.
When it comes to singing, Lin Qingyi is really helpless.
Tan Xiaoran also tried to help her with the rhythm, but as soon as Lin Qingyi opened her mouth, Tan Xiaoran couldn't find the tune herself.
By the last day of practice, although Lin Qingyi was still out of tune, at least his breathing was well trained, and he no longer felt like he was going to die when he sang while dancing.
Tan Xiaoran was very moved by the level of practice.
After all, I have to take a deep breath when I dance and rap.
On the last night, Lin Qingyi had just packed his luggage when there was a knock on the door of his room.
It was so late, Lin Qingyi couldn't guess who it could be. She opened the door and saw Yan Jieping standing at the door.
Yan Jieping rarely came to her room to talk to her. This was the first time the two had communicated since their conversation that day.
Lin Qingyi did not block the door and quickly let the other party in. Yan Jieping also closed the door casually.
She originally wanted to find a place for Yan Jieping to sit, but Yan Jieping didn't seem to want to stay long. After the door closed, she said, "The recording will start tomorrow."
As she finished speaking, she took out a bracelet and said, "This is a bracelet I got for you when I went to the mountain a few days ago."
In Lin Qingyi's surprised eyes, Yan Jieping handed the bracelet to her.
"The entertainment industry is a complicated place, and it's not easy for girls to get involved. As I said before, if you have any questions, please contact me. I have already completed the contract procedures for you. As long as you need, you can become a member of my company at any time."
Before Lin Qingyi could speak, she continued, "All the best. I hope you can find the path you want to take."
After saying that, he opened the door and left.
The bracelet on his hand still had a faint warmth, which Lin Qingyi had never felt before.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Qingyi opened his eyes.
The recording started at 5 pm. The recording location was in Dongcheng. The flight would take about two hours. She and Tan Xiaoran bought tickets for noon, but Lin Qingyi was not sleepy at all.
Obviously, Tan Xiaoran is the same as her.
As soon as they woke up in the morning, Tan Xiaoran secretly posted a status on WeChat. They did not tell other people around them that they were going to participate in the talent show, although they both knew that someone would definitely find out after they actually appeared on the show.
After finishing her breakfast in agony, Lin Qing was so absent-minded that she didn't notice that Yan Feiyang at the table was just as distracted as she was.
Just after finishing his meal, Lin Qingyi received a call from Tan Xiaoran.
The other party was actually waiting for her at her door.
Lin Qingyi was afraid that she had not eaten, so he brought her some bread. As soon as she got in the car, he asked her and was ready to give her the bread in the bag, but Tan Xiaoran just said that she couldn't eat it.
Seeing that her complexion was not very good, Lin Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he had to wait until noon and then find a way to get Tan Xiaoran to eat more.
As soon as they arrived at the airport, Tan Xiaoran seemed to relax a little and began to feel hungry. They bought some fast food and boarded the plane as soon as they finished eating.
After getting on the plane, Lin Qingyi still felt a little dazed.
In less than half a month, she had embarked on a path completely different from her first half of life.
She felt dazed but also very expectant, and this sense of anticipation diluted her nervousness.
Tan Xiaoran next to me must have been tired. She closed her eyes as soon as she got on the plane and is now asleep.
After nearly two hours, the plane landed.
Lin Qingyi had never been to Dongcheng.
It's a strange feeling, like coming to a new city and starting a new life, and that's indeed the case.
The two of them rushed straight to the recording location without stopping.
They did not book a hotel because the recording crew told them that they could arrive at the recording site first and they didn't have to worry about recording in advance.
It was only four o'clock when the two of them arrived at the recording site, dragging their suitcases.
The two followed the signs and put their luggage in the dormitory where they would live for the next three months.
The house numbers were assigned randomly, and unfortunately, Lin Qingyi and Tan Xiaoran were not assigned to the same house.
The two were reluctant to part, but Lin Qingyi quickly said, "It's okay, we can keep in touch by phone."
But the two also knew that the phone would not be able to communicate for long, and once the recording officially began, the phone would be taken away.
Lin Qingyi opened the door with a nervous mood, looking at the house number hanging on the key in his hand.
As soon as she opened the door, she met a familiar pair of eyes.
