Chapter 20 Recording Begins
If you ask Zhao Jian, what happened to him?
Of course Zhao Jian said nothing happened.
He just found out that Xia Linxing was not the same as he expected after getting in touch with her.
He is humble, studious, and knows how to praise others.
Zhao Jian only taught Xia Linxing once, but because of the emotional value Xia Linxing gave him, Zhao Jian almost thought he was a mentor.
How could he be as arrogant and overbearing as the rumors say?
Rumors really do harm!
So when Zhao Jian heard this group of people talking about Xia Linxing behind his back, he even felt a little proud that "I am the only one who knows what kind of person Xia Linxing is", and he helped his "one-day student" fight back without hesitation.
Don't spoil them at all.
After being bluntly rebuked, the other trainees exchanged glances before dispersing in boredom. After all, they were the ones who had spoken ill of the others behind their backs first, so even if they actually started to argue, they wouldn't be in the right.
Xia Linxing had no idea what was happening in the corner. At this moment, he was accepting praise from the makeup artist.
"Wow, Xia...Xia Linxing, right..." The makeup artist glanced at the name tag on Xia Linxing's body and praised: "Your skin is so good..."
His porcelain-white skin, under the lights of the dressing room, was so soft it seemed to have a natural glow, with barely a pore visible. Furthermore, Xia Linxing's face still had the soft contours of a teenager, and the flesh on his cheeks was clearly soft... If it weren't for her professionalism and the impending rehearsal, the makeup artist would have probably already pinched it.
This face, even without makeup, is totally fine...
The makeup artist sighed while doing Xia Linxing's hairstyle.
When Xie Tinglan came in to call for help, he saw this scene—
The young man sat obediently in front of the lighted makeup mirror, and obediently let the makeup artist take care of his curly hair.
He was wearing a pure white suit, the slim cut of which outlined his smooth figure; underneath it was an ivory silk shirt with a slightly open collar, revealing a touch of delicate skin on his collarbone. A very thin silver chain with a small sapphire pendant hung above his collarbone, which was low-key but particularly eye-catching.
He just sat there quietly, his little curls plastered to his forehead, his clear, bright eyes staring at the mirror, his lips pursed with a slight smile, like... the little prince walking out of a painting.
Xie Tinglan stared at him for a moment, then spoke slowly, as if he had found his voice again: "Are you all ready?"
"Rehearsal is about to begin..."
"Ah, Teacher Xie!" The staff in the dressing room finally noticed Xie Tinglan's presence and stood up hurriedly: "It will be ready soon, Teacher Xie."
"Just a few more minutes..."
"Okay then." Xie Tinglan nodded, signaling them to continue without worrying about him. However, before leaving, he seemed to remember something and turned his head to remind them, "He practiced late last night, so make sure to cover up his dark circles."
Otherwise it won’t look good when you go on stage.
"Ah? Oh, okay..." The makeup artist agreed, bewildered. Only after Xie Tinglan left did she lower her head: "Dark circles... dark circles... hey, there really are!"
However, the dark circle is very slight, just a thin layer of blue, and it cannot be seen unless you look closely.
The makeup artist could only sigh that Teacher Xie had a good eye while applying concealer to Xia Linxing.
By the time Xia Linxing came out of the dressing room, rehearsal had already begun. Perhaps to preserve everyone's reactions and the effect of the show during the official recording, there was no music during the rehearsal, and the trainees just walked around the stage.
Therefore, Xia Linxing's "standing posture" performance was just standing on the stage, confirming the microphone, chair and other things he would need for the performance.
After lunch, the official recording began.
The circular light strip on the studio's ceiling suddenly lit up, and opposite the fan-shaped stage, one hundred trainees were already sitting on the stepped seats.
"Please welcome the mentors of 'Star Journey'!"
The trainees immediately erupted in screams and applause. Five beams of light lit up one after another, and five mentors emerged from the special effects smoke.
As a top star, Xie Tinglan naturally stands in the middle.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Teacher Jiang is so cool!!!"
"Drex! Drex!"
…
The surrounding trainees cheered and jeered one after another. Xia Linxing sat in the corner, blending in with the trainees and clapping and lip-syncing.
"Hold on a little longer, kid!" System 999 encouraged him, "Don't let the camera catch you dozing off! It'll be fine after the performance!"
"Well, I know." Xia Linxing responded obediently, covering her mouth and yawning slightly, carefully wiping away the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes.
Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with staying up late to practice yesterday, but now he didn't know whether it was because he felt dizzy after eating too much for lunch, or the time was up and the fatigue he had accumulated before came up. Anyway, even though the music in the entire studio was deafening, Xia Linxing was still too sleepy to open his eyes.
He tried hard to open his eyes, and his round eyes looked tearful because they were forced open.
While Xia Linxing was struggling to overcome the difficulties, the program was progressing rapidly. One trainee after another went on stage to perform and were commented on and rated by the mentors.
Soon, a staff member reminded Xia Linxing that it was his turn soon and he could go backstage to prepare.
Xia Linxing stood up and slapped his cheeks twice, trying to sober himself up.
"Nervous, cub?"
I don’t know if Xia Linxing was nervous, but System 999’s tone sounded quite nervous.
"Don't worry, kid, relax. We're not really trainees here to debut... Just perform normally!"
That's right! Xia Linxing relaxed a little. He had been practicing so hard recently that he almost forgot he was here for another mission. He glanced guiltily at his mission target and followed the staff to the backstage.
The stage layout began to change, and the trainees who had already performed began to whisper to each other.
"Looks like he's going to play and sing by himself..."
"Which company's trainee is this? Why was he chosen for his debut performance..."
Just when they were not optimistic, Xia Linxing's personal information popped up on the big screen behind them. Under the five big words "Personal Trainee" was the song he was going to perform -
"Starlit Night!"
Lu Zimo exclaimed and turned his head sharply to look at Shen Sibai who was sitting next to him.
