Chapter 113: Playing the victim?



The next day, Jiang Ning and Du Ying arrived at the recording location of "Boy Group 101" and were warmly invited in by the staff. After signing the contract, they went to the dressing room to do their styling and casually read the script.

At this time, the trainees who were preparing for tonight's stage in the practice room were well-informed and knew that a new instructor would be coming today. During their breaks, they were curious to know who the new instructor was.

"Hasn't the mentors for the show already been decided? Those mentors are among the best in the industry. Now one of them is inserted in the middle of the show. Could it be that he saw that our show was popular and wanted to take advantage of the popularity through the backdoor?"

"It's possible. She has a backer, and we trainees can't control her. We'll be thankful if she doesn't take advantage of her status as a mentor and make random comments that affect everyone's ranking."

There was a trainee whose ranking was in danger and who was worried about being eliminated. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but become worried and patted the person next to him to inquire about the news.

"Zheng Zibin, don't you have a relationship with the assistant director? Do you know who this new instructor is? Will she give us random ratings?"

These trainees who are not signed by big companies are worried that someone who knows nothing about the evaluation will come and be lured by big companies and use backdoors to help them advance.

Zheng Zibin, who was called, also shook his head in annoyance.

"I don't know. The mentor was invited by the director. Her identity seems to be a bit special. The program team is keeping her identity very secret. Maybe it will be revealed after the live broadcast. The assistant director doesn't know either."

His ranking was in a more precarious position than most of the trainees in this A-level practice room, and he only made it to the third performance with the help of the assistant director. He didn't want any changes in the program to affect his advancement.

When that person saw that even Zheng Zibin, who had connections, didn't know who the mentor was, the people who were paying attention to this side intentionally or unintentionally became discouraged. They stopped thinking about it, got up, took a few sips of water, and continued to dig up the details.

Zheng Zibin looked at the trainees who were trying hard to copy the dance, especially the one in the corner who was practicing the most seriously and most standardly, and snorted in disdain in his heart.

There is no need to work so hard to debut. He has summarized the talent shows in previous years. As long as he has a good personality, looks decent, has a good background, and there is some voting, he will definitely be among the debut candidates.

However, looking at Zhao Zhengyu's outstanding appearance, Zheng Zibin still felt a little gloomy in his heart.

Although Zhao Zhengyu did not have a few seconds of screen time in the first two performances because he was a personal trainee, he was not noticed by several show fans.

But Zheng Zibin understood that Zhao Zhengyu's ability could rank among the top three trainees. With just a few more shots, it was only a matter of time before he became the dark horse for the debut position.

Zheng Zibin feels uneasy with such a strong opponent. If Zhao Zhengyu had withdrawn from the program earlier, perhaps his chances of becoming one of the debutants would have been much greater.

Zheng Zibin held the bottle and called one of Zhao Zhengyu's roommates. In the other's frightened eyes, he hugged the person and went to the bathroom.

After locking the door, Zheng Zibin patted Huang Chuan on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Didn't Zhao Zhengyu have an allergic reaction to something he ate a few days ago? What was he allergic to? I can ask my brother to go to the cafeteria and ask them to remove this thing from the menu."

Zheng Zibin's words sound nice, but every trainee in their group has seen him targeting Zhao Zhengyu. How could he be so kind and considerate?

"I don't know." Huang Chuan's pupils trembled and he didn't dare to look at Zheng Zibin.

"You really don't know? Or do you really regard that poor boy who showed up from some small mountain village as your good brother?" Zheng Zibin slapped Huang Chuan's face as if to humiliate him, and said in a seductive way.

"Think it over. If you answer this question, I'll let you have more scenes, and maybe even a debut spot. Are you sure you want to give up this bright future for a brother you've only known for a few days?"

"This is what a smart person does." Zheng Zibin said with satisfaction.

Then he whistled and went out to do his business.

In the evening, when it was time for the live broadcast of "Boy Group 101", Jiang Ning and the other three mentors sat in the mentor seats, watching the performance of the first group of trainees amid the cheers of fans in the audience.

Jiang Ning thought the first group's performance was pretty good, except for one pretty trainee who stole the spotlight.

The other mentors obviously thought so too. After commenting on the trainees one by one, their tone changed when it came to the trainee who stole the spotlight.

"Xu Can, I remember you performed very well in your first performance. You were the most proficient dancer among the trainees. I thought you would impress me this time, but I didn't expect that you would rush the camera and your positioning would be wrong."

The person who said this was Tang Xinwen, who was on the hot search list for a day because the quarrel between netizens and fans under Jiang Ning’s Weibo was amplified a lot after being reposted by marketing accounts.

Many people are wondering whether Tang Xinwen has any black material, and whether he will be targeted by Jiang Ning, the new entertainment industry supervisor, and whether he will be the first to be the artistic ethics supervisor in the entertainment industry.

Xu Can didn't seem to expect his tutor to speak so directly. He was stunned for a moment before he apologized with a wry smile.

"I was too worried about holding my teammates back these past few days, so I stayed up late to practice. I didn't expect that I would get a fever. I was not in the right state, and my performance was terrible. I failed to live up to the expectations of Coach Tang."

He spoke sincerely, and with the unnatural blush on Xu Can's face, it was obvious that he was performing while ill, which made his disappointed fans send words of encouragement and comfort in the live broadcast room.

[Cancan didn't get sick on purpose, he just tried too hard!] [It's okay, we didn't perform well here, we'll come back next time.] [Uh, I've been following the show and I just want to say, isn't the fan filter a bit too big? Have you ever thought that this is Xu Can's true ability? Is he afraid of being eliminated, so he deliberately made himself sick?] [The above person is making up stories, which fan is this? Our Xu Can has always been talented, okay? Otherwise, how could he have won first place in the first performance.] [Here comes the first controversial point. I want to know if Jiang Ning will comment on Xu Can. Is he really working hard, or is he faking his ability? Just sit back and wait!] On the stage, Tang Xinwen knew that he might be targeted by Jiang Ning, and there were countless people in the live broadcast room watching him. He didn't comment gently like in the previous episodes. When he heard Xu Can's words, he said sternly.

"You don't need to apologize to me. It's your teammates and your fans who should apologize!"

Xu Can held the microphone tightly, as if frightened by Tang Xinwen's tone, with helplessness in his eyes.

He apologized dryly to his teammates and fans, and bowed sincerely with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't bring you a good stage. It's my fault. I hope you can give me a chance. I..."

Before Xu Can finished his canvassing for votes, Jiang Ning's voice echoed in the ears of everyone and the audience in the live broadcast room.

[It's your fault in the first place. If you don't have the ability, then you don't have the ability. Don't perform these pitiful tricks to gain sympathy and votes. ]

[Also, how did he get first place in the first performance? Others don’t know, but how could he, who got the video and practiced a month in advance, not know? ]

Gua Gua also gave another melon to the mentor who was relaxing over there.

[Host, Xu Can was playing a fairy fight with his mentor on the balcony last night. He was really too tired and had a fever. He was not acting at all.]

Happy New Year! In the new year, I wish all the little cuties peace and prosperity! May you pass the exams and civil service exams! I also wish the rabbits success in writing in the new year, and write more satisfying articles!      (End of this chapter)
