"In the next episode, we’ll connect with your parents live on the show, and hold a video call, to get their thoughts on you."
"We will also announce the online voting results towards the end of the sixth episode, declare the trainee who will be leaving, distribute the second practice assignments to the ones who will remain, and then, just like this time, spend the seventh and eighth episodes studying, performing on the ninth."
The program team started with a long speech that went on for about seven or eight minutes.
Wei Qinghe, in the crowd heard the part about such a call with the parents and his previously smiling expression froze, pursed his lips, and didn’t respond.
Once the task was assigned, the recording of this episode ended quickly, and everyone left, crowding out.
Wei Qinghe, after much thought, instructed Zhang Tianbin next to him: "Wait here for me," and then walked quickly to the director’s team.
The director who was talking to someone else noticed Qinghe, who seemed to have something to say, and stopped to ask him: "What’s wrong?"
"About the call with the parents in the next episode, I may not be able to do it. My mother is seriously ill and has difficulty with even eating and drinking," said Qinghe.
The director, hearing this, was taken aback, his thoughts wandering to what he had heard about Wei Qinghe’s background online. Looking pensive, he asked: "What about your father?"
Hopefully, it’s not like what he had heard on the internet.
"...I haven’t been in contact with my father for many years, I don’t even have his contact information."
Qinghe lowered his voice as he spoke.
"Okay, we’ll skip you in this part for the next episode, go back and rest well."
Qinghe gratefully said, "Thank you, director."
He then went off to meet Zhang Tianbin and returned to the resting area.
By the time the fifth episode was broadcast and the voting portal was posted online,
Since it was a talent show, numerous comments were received shortly after the program started, such as who looked handsome, who had an expressive gaze, and who performed hilarious acts, etc.
"Is this an immediate hit? The opening dance was so stunning, the look was on point, I’m hooked! An old lady here confirms this to be invigorating."
"Bingbing’s cute little eyes are so dramatic! I’m dying of laughter, hahaha."
"One moment tender and weak, the next moment they’re baring their swords, they’re so versatile."
...
"Really? They aired Wei Qinghe’s singing practice? The producers aren’t afraid to ruin the show."
Online, there were voices of doubt about Wei Qinghe’s approach. However, after listening to the whole song, opinions changed.
"Oh my god, was Wei Qinghe serious about that climax part? Those perfect beats, I’m so impressed."
"Absolutely fantastic! Did you see his muscular figure beneath his shirt? That voice, that face, it’s killing me. Aaaaah."
"+1"
"Awesome, just awesome. Can a newcomer be this stunning? Did Wei Qinghe actually study singing rather than acting and is he now just playing dumb to catch us off guard?"
...
Comments on the internet varied. Nonetheless, this was the first time that Wei Qinghe received more appreciation than criticism. Going through all the comments from the beginning of the fifth episode until late in the evening, he scrolled all the way down through the comment section.
’Oh, the voice is absolutely fantastic. Darling Dawei, please stick with singing. Don’t waste your time acting.’
’So amazing! Wei Qinghe has a great future ahead, haha.’
Wei Qinghe thought to himself: I’ll try even harder.
’Still needs a bit more work, a few notes were off, but overall it was great, especially the climax, it had me in shock.’
Well, this is accurate. I’ll have to focus more on my pronunciation next time.
