Chapter 25 The Iron-clad Xia Linxing
Cold white spotlights crisscrossed and moved in the center of the stage. The prelude of the music slowly advanced, and the lifting platform sprayed out white mist of dry ice. Xie Tinglan broke out of the white mist and sang the opening sentence.
"The stage is open for me..."
"The future is right before my eyes..."
The deep voice is like the deep sea flowing slowly in the night, telling the story in the lyrics.
Before the trainees could express their feelings, they heard the soothing music in their ears suddenly change, and the stage lights suddenly changed. Low drum beats sounded, and the cold white lights turned into dazzling and jumping neon blocks, and beams of light of different colors began to crisscross and shuttle.
In the flickering light and shadow, the other four figures suddenly appeared behind Xie Tinglan.
"It's Teacher Jiang!"
"Teacher Ji is here too!"
"Teacher Zhou!!!"
The trainees cheered loudly, and the five mentors stood side by side, moving together to the brisk rhythm.
"The moment the lights came on..."
"My heart is beating fast in my ears..."
The silver costumes shimmered under the changing lights, and even rapper instructor Drex and vocal instructor Ji Qingwan, who weren't particularly good at dancing, kept up with the rhythm. Not to mention dance instructor Jiang Wen and idol veteran Zhou Xubai, who originally came from a talent show.
But what surprised all the trainees the most was Xie Tinglan standing in the C position.
"Oh my god, Teacher Xie is so strong!"
His movements were clean and neat, full of power and tension, and every turn and every step was precisely in time with the beat.
It was obvious that he and Jiang Wen and Zhou Xubai standing on either side of him were performing the same set of moves, but they presented completely different wild styles.
"Help, this is too explosive!"
“This is the real stage!!!”
The air in the audience was ignited, and screams, cheers and jeers swept towards the stage like a wave.
The trainees who were originally sitting on their chairs could no longer control themselves and stood up, starting to sway to the rhythm of the music. Some of them who had good learning abilities even caught up with the rhythm and started humming along with the melody.
Their eyes were filled with eagerness to be on stage.
Xia Linxing also looked at the stage with sparkling eyes.
"999..." His tone was full of emotion, "Xie Tinglan is so amazing..." Not only can he sing, but he can also dance so well.
In Xia Linxing's eyes, the original Xie Tinglan was more like a plot symbol. All his understanding of Xie Tinglan came only from the original plot, which was one-sided and superficial.
But now, looking at Xie Tinglan shining on the stage, Xia Linxing seemed to realize for the first time the charm of Xie Tinglan as the "protagonist".
——No wonder the original body liked him so much!
"Of course he's amazing..." System 999 replied, "Otherwise, why would the program team choose him as a producer mentor?"
It is advertised as an all-rounder.
"But, dear boy." System 999 had to "cruelly" remind Xia Linxing: "During the theme song assessment, you still have to cause trouble for the protagonist."
"No problem!" Xia Linxing was full of confidence. He had learned from the last lesson and would definitely not make the same mistake again.
“Once I learn the theme song first, I’ll go and cause trouble for Shen Sibai!”
…
However, it turns out that flags cannot be set up randomly.
"Wuwuwuwu..." Xia Linxing cried to System 999 for the umpteenth time: "It's so hard, so hard, why is dancing so hard..."
When Xia Linxing watched Xie Tinglan and the others dance before, she thought the dance was fast-paced but the movements looked simple. But when she actually learned it, her eyes understood, but her brain didn't.
The program team was quite considerate. Taking into account the different ratings and learning levels of the trainees, they divided the teaching of the theme song into two parts: dance and singing. Each part was assigned a different vocal or dance teacher to provide phased teaching in different parts.
For example, the classroom Xia Linxing was currently in was the one where they were learning the first dance part. However, when he arrived, the dance studio was full, and Xia Linxing could only stand in the last row and try hard to see how the teacher in the front was teaching through the gaps between people. But now—
Xia Linxing was already standing next to the teacher.
If there weren't a few trainees who had probably just come from the vocal classroom, the teacher might have already been providing one-on-one tutoring to Xia Linxing.
Xia Linxing followed the teacher's movements while making little train sounds in her mind.
It turns out dancing is so difficult...
It's not that Xia Linxing simply can't learn. For example, if he's asked to learn foot dance moves alone, he can quickly memorize and perform them. If he's asked to learn hand dance moves alone, he can basically follow them after watching them a few times. But once he's asked to move his hands and feet together, he can vividly demonstrate what it means to be "flustered."
Even the dance teacher was worried after seeing this.
Watching the other trainees leave the classroom one by one after learning this part, Xia Linxing was the only one who remained in the classroom as a "nail house".
The trainees come and go, but Xia Linxing remains.
Xia Linxing had originally planned to use his "intelligence" to trouble Shen Sibai as soon as he finished learning. Because in the original novel (the version narrated by System 999), the original body constantly troubled Shen Sibai during the theme song learning stage, resulting in Shen Sibai not having enough time to practice.
As for "Xia Linxing" himself, he didn't come to the audition seriously, so it didn't matter to him whether he practiced or learned or not, so he felt at ease and started to cause trouble for Shen Sibai.
But when it comes to Xia Linxing...
Xia Linxing's character determines his unwillingness to be perfunctory.
So, what should he do so that he can cause trouble for Shen Sibai without hindering him from learning the theme song?
Xia Linxing was thinking deeply when suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.
"Huh? Xia Linxing, you're still here?"
Xia Linxing turned around.
The person who patted him on the shoulder was Zhao Jian.
Zhao Jian looked at Xia Linxing in surprise.
Zhao Jian went to learn the songs first, and then came to learn the dance. However, when he entered the first singing practice room, he saw Xia Linxing in the room; but when he finished learning all the parts and came out, Xia Linxing was still there!
"Is there something you can't learn?" Zhao Jian knew that Xia Linxing's foundation was weak, so he kindly asked, "Do you need my help?"
Zhao Jian puffed out his chest calmly. He thought he was a better dancer than a singer.
Xia Linxing's eyes lit up as he expected.
Sparkling like the bright stars in the night sky, with joy sparkling in her eyes.
"Thank you!" Xia Linxing said happily.
Thanks to Zhao Jian's suggestion, he came up with a good idea that would not delay his learning of the theme song but would also hinder the protagonist, achieving the best of both worlds!
