Chapter 46 The scene is too bizarre
An arm is raised high in the air.
And the owner of the arm... Everyone's eyes slowly moved downwards and landed on Xia Linxing's face.
Everyone looked at Xia Linxing in shock, then stretched their necks to look at the lyrics paper in front of them.
How should I put it? When Chen Sibai said he wanted to choose this part, everyone could see it as a sign of humility from the captain. But now that Xia Linxing also wanted this part, they began to wonder: Did they miss something? For example, was this part actually the best one?
But they looked left and right, and then at each other, and saw the same confusion in the eyes of the trainees next to them:
They weren't wrong...
This C part is indeed the part with the fewest words and the most thankless!
but--
They looked at Xia Linxing's raised arms again, and their heads were full of question marks: So why is Xia Linxing trying to grab this part?
Is he really crazy?
Or... the other trainees suddenly remembered the rumor during the previous theme song assessment that Xia Linxing was taught by Shen Sibai and was able to continue to stay in Class B.
Could it be that... Xia Linxing was... repaying a favor? For example, if he took the worst part, Shen Sibai could choose another part?
Xia Linxing didn't know what the other trainees were thinking. He was actually feeling relieved at the moment.
Fortunately he caught up!
Because the shock Xie Tinglan had given him before was too strong, he was still in a daze even after being dragged to the practice room by Shen Sibai. Although he was at the scene, his ears were always offline and he didn't hear much of what other people were talking about.
It was not until he heard Shen Sibai say that he wanted this part that he suddenly came back to his senses because the key words were triggered.
part!
He remembered that when System 999 explained the subsequent plot to him, he had said:
In the original novel, Shen Sibai's theme song performance was rated average due to being dragged down by Xia Linxing. Consequently, he anticipated that his initial ranking wouldn't be very high, and he'd likely be on the brink of elimination. So, during the first performance, when the group was divided into parts, Shen Sibai fought for a better part to stay in the show and avoid elimination.
But Chen Sibai was smart. He chose a part that wasn't the best, but could show off his strengths. Since the other trainees were still competing for the C position, no one paid much attention to this part.
Except for "Xia Linxing".
"Xia Linxing" in the original novel didn't care at all about which part he was. The reason he competed with Shen Sibai was just to make things difficult for Shen Sibai.
Originally...there was nothing wrong with Xia Linxing doing this. He raised his hand to grab Shen Sibai's part just to fit the character's personality in the original novel.
But the problem was… the plot was so far off the rails that Shen Sibai didn't need to fight for more screen time, so he generously gave up other, better parts, and even left himself a good impression of humility in front of the camera. And Xia Linxing, in a daze, hadn't heard anything about what had happened before. He only heard Shen Sibai decide on a part, so he reflexively followed the plot and started ahead.
"I want this part too!"
The other trainees looked at Shen Sibai, then at Xia Linxing, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
What’s going on…are they unable to keep up with the changing times?
Is it that fighting for the C part is no longer popular, but the trend is to play the game of Kong Rong giving up his pears, where everyone competes for the worst part and then demonstrates the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature in a competitive talent show, and finally makes dumplings together in harmony?
"No." Chen Sibai shook his head, "You can't sing the high notes in this part well..." When teaching Xia Linxing the theme song, Chen Sibai taught more than just Xia Linxing's dance.
"I, I can learn it!" Xia Linxing's eyes were no longer vague when it came to his own plot mission. He straightened his chest to give himself courage and tried to refute.
“It’s not a question of whether to learn or not.” Chen Sibai still shook his head, “This E part is more suitable for you…” The individual dance part is simpler and the lyrics are easier to remember.
"I don't want it!" Xia Linxing, who was very obedient when teaching the theme song and never went west when told to go east, now acted like a stubborn donkey: "I want this part!"
The other five trainees looked left and right. They didn't know why the situation suddenly changed from the five of them competing fiercely and excitingly for the C position to Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai competing for the worst part.
One said "No", the other said "I want it".
——It’s just like a quarrel between primary school students.
Especially Xia Linxing’s expression... It really looked like the expression of a child who said, "If you don't agree, I won't play with you anymore."
The situation was so bizarre that the other trainees didn't know how to interrupt and stop the two from quarreling childishly.
They even wanted to say, why don’t you two just play rock-paper-scissors...whoever wins gets the part.
"Ouch, what happened?"
The classroom door was pushed open and a head popped in.
It was idol (senior) mentor Zhou Xubai. Several mentors were sent by the director to observe the trainees' current situation and record some explosive scenes. Zhou Xubai was assigned to Xia Linxing and the others' classroom.
Zhou Xubai was originally thinking that he might disappoint the director. Today's trainees are so smart that they would never expose their ambitions in front of the camera or argue with their teammates for positions without caring about their image. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, he actually saw two trainees arguing.
To be on the safe side, he listened carefully to make sure that the two men were indeed fighting for a part.
Zhou Xubai suddenly became alert.
Here comes the explosive shot!
He immediately opened the door and walked in with a smile, still trying to argue: "We are all trainees in the same group, don't let fighting for positions ruin the relationship..."
"Everyone can take turns recording as the center and see who works better and is more suitable in the middle..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that except for the two trainees who had the dispute, the expressions of the other five trainees when they looked at him all seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhou Xubai: "...Hmm?"
