Chapter 32 Theme Song Assessment
“999…”
"Why are they all looking at me like that?"
When another trainee passed by Xia Linxing, he nodded and greeted Xia Linxing, then looked at him with a look that Xia Linxing did not understand at all, leaving Xia Linxing completely confused.
What happened to them?
Xia Linxing looked down at the clothes she was wearing.
He's not wearing the wrong clothes either—
He was wearing the solid-color sportswear distributed uniformly by the program team - this was also a requirement of the program team, saying that trainees needed to wear uniform clothing during the assessment and filming - it was said that this was because they could unify the variables, without external interference such as clothing styles, the mentors only needed to focus on the trainees' singing and dancing, making it easier to conduct unified ratings.
He touched his face again—
It felt soft... No, it felt like there was nothing dirty on my cheek.
So...why were the other trainees looking at him with that strange look that seemed to have a hint of pity in it?
"this……"
System 999 stammered, "Maybe...maybe..."
"Maybe it's because... because of the theme song assessment!" System 999 suddenly thought of a perfect excuse: "They might think you can't maintain your B rank!"
"Oh, so that's it..." Xia Linxing believed it.
After all, when he first performed on stage, he did use some tricks to barely get into Class B. It's natural for other trainees to be dissatisfied or feel that he doesn't live up to his reputation.
Xia Linxing is very self-aware!
So he immediately ignored the strange looks from the other trainees and hurriedly started practicing before it was his turn to take the theme song assessment.
System 999 slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally managed to get past it...
Because the first episode of the show had already been aired, many trainees who had secretly hidden a second phone already knew about it.
So, they also knew that after the first episode of the show was broadcast, the song performed by Xia Linxing became a hot topic.
Originally, they were very jealous that the program team bought hot searches for Xia Linxing in the first episode, and they were also wondering what was so good about Xia Linxing's performance that the program team was so optimistic about it. But when they clicked on the entry with a sour look,
They were relieved in an instant——
It turns out to be a black hot search!
Seeing the vast conspiracy theories in the entries, such as "Was Chen Sibai sacrificed by the production team?", "Because Xia Linxing asked the production team to find a trainee to be a stepping stone for him in the first episode, he is a royal family reservation", "The production team will sooner or later fail if they use such a clichéd script in the first episode" and so on, I feel extremely sympathetic for the trainees who are on the hot search.
It's clear that the production team did this on purpose. Although public opinion will likely reverse after the next episode airs, Xia Linxing's reputation will be affected before the next episode airs. Furthermore, the voting channel has already been opened during this period, and Xia Linxing is unlikely to receive many votes during this period.
The number of votes will affect the elimination ranking.
so--
How can this be considered a "sacrifice" of Shen Sibai...
This is clearly a "sacrifice" of Xia Linxing!
Tsk tsk tsk... I thought Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai would be able to ascend together on the first stage, but I didn't expect this to be the result.
The other trainees expressed their feelings and were extremely grateful that the program team did not use the tricks they used to attract traffic on them.
As for why they only expressed sympathy with their eyes instead of telling Xia Linxing directly... wouldn't it be self-incrimination if they told him? Didn't they also hide their cell phones and not hand them over?
Moreover, they were not familiar with Xia Linxing. If Xia Linxing did not feel grateful after hearing their tip-off, but instead became angry and reported them, then the gain would be greater than the loss.
Although the program team also knows that the trainees who honestly hand in their phones are a minority after all, they turn a blind eye to the fact that some trainees have hidden a phone; but once someone reports it, the program team must deal with it seriously.
Therefore, there is no need for them to put their intelligence sources (mobile phones) in danger in order to be good people.
Xia Linxing was unaware of the twists and turns between these trainees.
He is getting nervous.
The staff just came to inform him that it will soon be his turn to go into the small room for the theme song assessment!
Although he had practiced with Shen Sibai for a long time these past two days, to the point that his muscles had memorized the dance moves and the melody of the song was still in his mind when he went to bed at night, this was still Xia Linxing's first time singing and dancing in front of the camera.
So tight and dirty!
Especially since the surroundings were filled with the singing and practicing of other trainees, everyone was making final preparations for the assessment, and the air was filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation.
"Next, Xia Linxing!"
The staff member stood at the door of the assessment classroom and called Xia Linxing's name from the list.
“Come, come!”
Xia Linxing walked up to the staff with his hands and feet together: "Xia Linxing is here."
"Pfft..." The staff was amused by Xia Linxing's appearance and comforted her with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. Haven't you already experienced the first stage?"
The first stage performance was in front of all the trainees and mentors, but today's theme song assessment only required facing the camera and the mentors.
Xia Linxing nodded stiffly.
He understood the principles, but during the first stage, he only needed to sit in front of the electronic keyboard and play the piano. At most, he would glance at the camera when it was close, and the rest of the time he could concentrate on playing the piano and singing. In addition, during the performance, the sound from the audience could not be heard on the stage, so Xia Linxing could even pretend that other people did not exist.
But the theme song test failed.
He needs to face his instructor and the camera all the time, and even according to Shen Sibai's teaching requirements, he has to interact with the camera.
Interact with the camera!
This almost cost Xia Linxing his life!
Even when they were just practicing, Xia Linxing felt extremely ashamed when Chen Sibai simulated for him; every time when it came to the interactive part, Xia Linxing, who could originally dance smoothly, turned into a puppet with rusty joints, his face flushed with shame, and every move revealed an air of being forced and coerced.
"You're doing this..." Shen Sibai sighed countless times, "It's like I'm forcing a good woman into prostitution..."
Xia Linxing: QAQ
He also knew that his reaction was a bit exaggerated, but for an ordinary person like him who had never been in front of the camera before (in his previous life), it was difficult to overcome this damn sense of shame in such a short time.
I can only come slowly later...
Today, today I just have to hold on for now...
He took a deep breath and walked into the room stiffly.
"Hello, teachers. I'm Xia Linxing from Class B."
As soon as he walked into the room, he was faced with a pitch-black camera at close range. Xia Linxing was so flustered that he couldn't even see the face of the tutor sitting behind the desk. He just bowed 90 degrees and began to introduce himself.
"Okay, Linxing..." Jiang Wen noticed Xia Linxing's nervousness and gently comforted her, "Don't be so nervous. Take a few deep breaths and start when you're ready."
"Okay, okay." Xia Linxing's voice was trembling, and there was a little wave of panic at the end of the tone.
He moved his fingertips, which were slightly numb from nervousness, and kept hypnotizing himself: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not nervous at all..."
The cold air that filled his lungs gradually calmed Xia Linxing down. He stood at the recording mark in the room, facing the camera's cold gaze, and slowly exhaled, his tense nerves gradually relaxing with each breath.
"I'm ready," he said.
