What happened in the music classroom soon reached Shen Huai's ears, and Shen Huai was a little surprised.

Ming Wei asked: "Do we need to force the lead singer to change?"

"No." Shen Huai shook his head, "Since she has decided so, just do as she says."

"But..."

Ming Wei was a little puzzled. Why would Shen Huai sign Xia Shiyu, an artist who has already passed the trend and is surrounded by scandals? She is not like Ye Cang at the beginning. After all, she still has a high popularity. Moreover, Shen Huai is particularly tolerant of her and seems to trust her ability very much.

Shen Huai also saw Ming Wei's confusion and smiled lightly: "After two episodes, you will understand."

Ming Wei was a little curious and unconsciously began to pay more attention to the news of "Everyone's Idol".

In fact, when Xia Shiyu signed a contract with Shen Huai and was going to participate in the recording of "Everyone's Idol", discussions immediately broke out on the Internet.

Zhuo Feiyang's affairs have been a hot topic recently, and naturally it also involves Xia Shiyu. Although there are still some people who speak for Xia Shiyu, the stereotype is not so easy to eliminate, and some people even began to question the "National Idol" program team.

After this quarrel, the popularity of the program team has increased, but Xia Shiyu's situation is not so good.

Photos of the year and interviews with classmates and teachers have been dug up again, and people have been criticizing him every day.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have been unable to bear it a long time ago, but Xia Shiyu was very calm. He practiced dancing and singing every day. Except for not being able to eat fat intestines, he had a little resentment, and nothing else was affected.

After Xia Shiyu took the initiative to give up the lead vocal opportunity to Lina, the other three members of the team completely changed their views on her, and the three of them never mentioned anything about the things on the Internet.

Just like that, the recording time soon arrived.

-

At six o'clock on the day of recording, the company specially sent a car to take the four people to the recording venue. They will start a three-month closed training here, provided that they can make it to the end.

The four people verified their identities and walked into the recording site, and they were immediately stunned.

The whole place was full of young and beautiful girls. A glance at them was simply dizzying.

Among them, there were trainees from large brokerage companies. Most of them wore the same style of clothes and looked very neat. There were also individual trainees found by small companies and program teams, who were much more casual in comparison.

When the four people walked in, the chattering at the scene seemed to pause for a moment, and then there was a louder discussion.

"Is she Xia Shiyu?"

"She is so brave, she dared to participate in the show, and now everyone on the Internet is scolding her..."

"How old is she? Almost 25, right? Isn't she a little old?"

"That's right, who would support an old, ugly, and dirty old lady..."

Lina was furious when she heard this, and was about to step forward to teach these people a lesson, but was stopped by Yao Xuetong, who motioned her to look at Xia Shiyu.

Xia Shiyu was calm and walked directly in front of the girls, and they dared not say anything.

Xia Shiyu was calm and composed. His eyes swept across several people and finally landed on the person he mentioned as his favorite before: "Yingyuan Company, Wang Can?"

The girl named Wang Can quickly covered the nameplate on her chest and said timidly: "You...what do you want to do?"

Xia Shiyu smiled sweetly: "You haven't debuted yet?"

Several people: "..."

If they could debut, who would come here to fight!

Xia Shiyu pointed at herself and said, "I debuted three years ago. According to the rules of this circle, you should at least call me senior, right? Why? Didn't the company give you any etiquette lessons?"

Several people's faces suddenly turned red. They only thought that Xia Shiyu was out of fashion and surrounded by negative news, but forgot that as a debuted singer, her status was far higher than that of them, the trainees.

The idol profession originated from Japan and Korea. These two countries pay the most attention to the hierarchy order. Therefore, after it was introduced to China, it was inevitably stained with this color, which also became a kind of agreed rule.

If they become famous, they will not be bound by this restriction, but as the lowest-level trainees, they can only call him "senior" even if they don't want to.

Xia Shiyu's eyes swept over the others. Almost all the people present were trainees who had not debuted yet. When they were swept by her eyes, they could only bow their heads and call him "senior" obediently.

Xia Shiyu curled the corners of her lips and walked straight in front of the group of girls who bowed their heads.

The three people watching this scene from behind: "..."

Tian Sisi covered her mouth and whispered with starry eyes: "Sister Xia is so handsome!"

But Lina frowned: "She can teach people, just teach those few people, why do she do this, isn't this a public outrage?"

"She doesn't need to be liked by everyone." Yao Xuetong said lightly, "She just needs to be strong enough."

After Yao Xuetong finished speaking, she took the lead in following Xia Shiyu's footsteps.

She knew very well that since she came here, everyone present was an opponent, including them, her former teammates, and only the strongest who could make it to the end were qualified to have companions.

——This

episode passed quickly, and the recording of the show soon began. The girls were called by their names and walked into the recording hall in groups.

After they were all seated, Zhang Li came out from behind the stage and introduced several instructors. There were four instructors in total, namely, creative instructor Ye Cang, dance instructor Anna, vocal instructor Tang Ruoyi and Qiu Jie. Except

Anna, the remaining two were old acquaintances of Ye Cang. As soon as Qiu Jie saw Ye Cang, he punched him familiarly: "You are so good! You have won the Cologne Award, but you don't even think about treating the brothers to a meal and a drink!"

Ye Cang laughed: "I will treat them after the recording of the show."

Qiu Jie: "That's better!"

Compared with the carefree Qiu Jie, Tang Ruoyi's attitude was obviously colder. Although she admired Ye Cang at the beginning, she was a member of Huayu after all. Now that the two companies are in opposition, she has also been affected to some extent.

Tang Ruoyi shook hands with Ye Cang: "You were a contestant at the beginning, but I didn't expect that we would sit together and serve as judges in the blink of an eye."

Ye Cang understood Tang Ruoyi's attitude. He felt a little regretful, but he just smiled politely and said: "Yes, thank you for your help and appreciation, Teacher Tang. I will always remember it in my heart."

Tang Ruoyi knew that he already knew the inside story of why she invited him to Huayu. She sighed softly and said no more.

When the four appeared in front of the stage, the girls immediately screamed. They didn't stop until they sat down in the judges' seats.

Zhang Li could only signal them to be quiet, and then signaled the props. With a "bang", the curtain behind the girls' seats fell down. They only then noticed that there was another row of seats behind them.

The seats were in the shape of a pyramid. The top one was a pink throne, and the next were 2, 3, and 4, for a total of 10 seats. The surroundings were decorated with flowers and pink balloons, which looked very romantic.

All the girls exclaimed "Wow".

Zhang Li then said, "The ten positions there are the debut positions. You need to show your charm to the fans and win their love to sit in these positions. Today is your first chance to perform in front of the fans. Please make sure to seize this opportunity."

After Zhang Li finished speaking, she handed the scene over to the four mentors.

Qiu Jie's hosting skills have greatly improved since he participated in "Traveling with History" before, so he was responsible for the hosting part.

The girls performed in groups in order.

After only three groups, Ye Cang and others frowned unconsciously. The performance of the groups that have appeared so far is too bad. Almost all of them have hoarse voices and their dancing is very simple. Even though the domestic idol market has just started, their performance is too bad.

Even Xia Shiyu, who was sitting in her seat, frowned slightly. She could never imagine that the level of these trainees was so poor. Compared to their singing and dancing skills at that time, their level had dropped so much in recent years.

Fortunately, excellent contestants soon emerged and the show began to get better.

The girls on the scene were able to maintain their image at the beginning and sat obediently, but as time went on, they couldn't hold on any longer. Some began to yawn, some moved around in their seats, and some started chatting with people around them.

Tian Sisi couldn't hold on any longer and her head fell on Yao Xuetong's shoulder. Lina slumped in the chair with sleepy eyes. Even Yao Xuetong couldn't help but cover her mouth and yawn secretly. Only Xia Shiyu sat with her back straight since she sat down. This posture was almost as standard as that of a flight attendant.

Tian Sisi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xia, aren't you tired?"

Xia Shiyu was stunned: "Not bad."

When she was in the company in her previous life, she was always taught to always show her best side in front of the camera. She has been used to it for so many years. Even though she has changed her body now, she has brought this habit with her.

Not to mention sitting for a few hours, even standing like this for a few hours is normal for her.

The three of them couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. Then Xia Shiyu seemed to feel something and lowered her voice: "Sit down, there are cameras."

Several people sat up straight in a hurry, and this scene was captured by a camera and transmitted to the director's desk.

At this time, Zhang Li was standing behind the director, looking at the girls sitting crookedly, and couldn't help frowning: "Have these trainees never attended classes? It's been a short while, and they can't sit still anymore?" The

director next to her smiled and said, "They are all teenage girls, and they are still very lively. Don't be too harsh!"

Zhang Li didn't say anything. She had previously studied in Japan and Korea. Their management is very strict, and idols even have to practice the angle of their smiles. Although Zhang Li thinks it is a bit too harsh, compared with the laxity in China, she can't help but sigh secretly.

At this moment, the camera cut to Xia Shiyu and the other four.

Zhang Li's eyes lit up immediately.

Xia Shiyu is very sensitive to the camera, and can always remind several team members to sit up straight before the camera scans over.

When the camera turned around, Xia Shiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on her face was sweet and natural. Compared with the girl behind her who was yawning and sleepy and her makeup was a little smudged, she was glowing all over.

"Stop!"

Zhang Li quickly signaled the photographer to keep the camera on them, and asked the director to cut to the previous footage of Xia Shiyu.

The footage was played at a high speed, but Xia Shiyu did not even bend her back except for a slight change in her sitting posture. Apart from anything else, this perseverance alone was enough for Zhang Li to look at her with new eyes.

After watching the video, Zhang Li kept her eyes on Xia Shiyu's smiling face again.

In terms of appearance, there are many contestants who are not inferior to her, but they all pale in comparison to this smiling face. Xia Shiyu seems to be very familiar with the camera. While others are still overcoming their fear of the camera, she has already understood how to use the camera to show her charm.

This is a skill that only top idols can have!

Zhang Li pondered for a long time and finally made up her mind: "Ask a camera to shoot her."

The director was shocked: "Sister Zhang, she hasn't started performing yet. Are we going to focus on her now?"

Zhang Li nodded: "Yes, she is very likely to be the key to our show going viral."

The director made arrangements while joking: "Sister Zhang, are you so optimistic about her?"

"Yes!" Zhang Li sighed.

"Some people are born idols."

The author has something to say:

The competition system of "All People's Idol" is based on "Produce 101", and it has been slightly modified for the plot.
