Chapter 24 Theme Song
What the...?!
Fang Xuyang was a little doubtful about his ears.
Little, little idiot?
Is this the kind of words you would hear from Xie Tinglan?
Fang Xuyang scratched his ears and began to doubt his life.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Xie Tinglan looks cold and aloof, like a flower on a high mountain; but only those who are familiar with him know how “poisonous” Xie Tinglan’s words can be in private.
This "poison" does not mean that Xie Tinglan has a bad mouth or is sarcastic to others, but that Xie Tinglan speaks to the point.
Because they are usually very sharp and merciless, they sometimes sound harsh and vicious.
But the word "little idiot"... if you say it's mean, he adds a "little"; if you say it's doting, he adds a "stupid"...
If Xie Tinglan had called him "idiot", Fang Xuyang wouldn't have made such a fuss.
"Who are you talking about?" Fang Xuyang's voice trembled. His agent's intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with Xie Tinglan.
"Huh?" Xie Tinglan took a moment to react, realizing what Fang Xuyang was asking. But for some reason, he didn't mention Xia Linxing's name. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Chen Sibai's performance today (on the first stage) was very good." The other teachers all gave him an A.
"He has great potential." The fact that he can achieve the results shown today in such a short training period proves that he was not wrong.
Just as he said this, another figure practicing piano hard late at night slowly appeared before his eyes.
Xie Tinglan shook his head, shaking the figure out of his mind: "The first episode should be broadcast in three days, you can make arrangements..."
…
Xia Linxing originally thought that she would be questioned by Chen Sibai after the recording of the first stage, but maybe because of the misunderstanding, the two of them did not perform the same song in the end, or because Chen Sibai's rating was higher than Xia Linxing's, so Shen Sibai was too lazy to care in the end. After returning to the dormitory, Shen Sibai did not make a fuss about the two of them "singing the same" song.
The two spent the night in peace.
Then, early the next morning, we were woken up by staff knocking on the door.
"Get up, get up!"
"Get up and gather in the hall!"
The incandescent lights in the hall were dazzlingly bright. A group of trainees, wearing pajamas of various styles and having only enough time to wash up and no time to take care of their hair and makeup, were standing in the hall in a staggering manner, yawning in groups.
"Why did you wake us up so early?" a trainee complained while rubbing his eyes.
"That's right... I recorded a whole day of shows yesterday, and I thought I could sleep until I woke up naturally today..."
"Ahaha..." Another trainee wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and guessed based on his past experience: "It should be the announcement of the next program schedule..."
As they were talking, everyone heard the announcement: "Good morning, fellow trainees..."
The director's voice came from the radio: "Did you have a good rest yesterday?"
The trainees below dragged out the words weakly: "Okay——"
Xia Linxing was wearing a cow pajamas with a long tail. She was yawning in the crowd and pretending to be lip-syncing the word "good".
The director pretended not to hear the duplicity below, "Looks like everyone's had a good rest!"
"Then, I will announce everyone's next stage of tasks—"
"Theme song test!"
The trainees below exclaimed in unison: "So fast?!"
"I still want to rest a little longer ahhhhhhhhh!"
"When is the assessment?"
"Is the theme song difficult, director?!"
…
The director was very satisfied with the trainees' reactions. He cleared his throat and signaled everyone to be quiet. "Whether the theme song is difficult or not, that's up to you all to judge for yourself..."
"We'll give everyone three days to practice."
"The recording of the theme song assessment will begin in three days!"
The trainees immediately wailed.
Although Xia Linxing didn't understand why, he became nervous when he saw the other trainees.
"Everyone, don't be so depressed..." The director changed the subject and said, "The theme song assessment is a great opportunity~"
"Speaking of which, are you all satisfied with your initial stage assessment ratings from yesterday?"
There was a sudden chorus of dissatisfaction from the audience.
After all, among so many trainees, only 1/5 of them get an A rating and enter Class A, and the goal of most trainees is to enter Class A.
So... Xia Linxing's "satisfaction" seems very out of place.
A very unmotivated person.
"So!" the director said excitedly, "Based on the results of the theme song assessment, we will combine the initial stage ratings and divide the classes again!"
"And the result of the re-classification will affect everyone's right to choose the stage for their first performance."
“So, please work hard!”
The trainees below were in an uproar.
The trainees who felt that they did not perform well on the first stage immediately got ready to try, just waiting for the theme song assessment to turn things around.
There were also trainees already in Class A who looked solemn, fearing that their ratings would drop.
Of course, there are also those who do not strive for progress, as if it were a bolt from the blue -
"What?!" Xia Linxing's pupils trembled, "I have to perform again so soon?!" He thought he could rest for a while!
"But, 999..." Xia Linxing was shocked and asked System 999 a little embarrassedly: "What is the theme song assessment?"
Before System 999 could say anything, the director continued, "Well, everyone, please change your clothes and gather in our studio."
"Your mentor is already waiting there..."
Xia Linxing followed the crowd back to the dormitory to change clothes, and then followed the crowd to the studio. After all the trainees were seated, the lights in the studio suddenly dimmed.
The studio fell into silence.
Suddenly, several beams of cold white spotlights gathered in the center of the stage.
As the prelude music sounded, Xie Tinglan's figure appeared under the lights——
