Chapter 6 Do You Believe in Miracles?
"How can you talk like that?"
Wen Yu did not respond, but Lu Ran, who was bandaging him, heard Shen Zijun's ridicule and couldn't help but speak up for Wen Yu.
"I know you..."
Shen Zijun's attention was drawn to Lu Ran, who had just spoken. He looked at the "F" on Lu Ran's chest and sneered mercilessly, "Aren't you the loser from the company next door who's been training for ten years and still hasn't debuted? If I were to ask you, your company is being too kind to you. Losers like you aren't even fit to debut..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran clenched his hands into fists.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't angry after being mocked by Shen Zijun, but this was the practice room for "Pick Me" after all. The first stage had already begun, and after the instructors' performances, it would be the trainees' turn to appear. If he made a big deal out of it now, it would not do him any good.
"Pick Me" is Lu Ran's last chance to debut.
Thinking of this, Lu Ran slowly loosened his clenched fists.
Seeing that Lu Ran didn't refute him, Shen Zijun's tone became even more vicious: "If I were you, I would have packed up and left long ago..."
The rest of the words got stuck in my throat.
It was not because Shen Zijun realized his mistake, but because he was kicked hard in the abdomen.
The pain in his abdomen caused Shen Zijun's expression to change instantly. He looked at the culprit in disbelief: "You...you are crazy..."
This is in the practice room of "Pick Me"!
"Shut up."
Wen Yu had been going through so much trouble today and was already irritable. Shen Zijun was chattering in front of him, but he didn't bother with him because he was just a child. However, Shen Zijun should never, ever mock Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was the first person to lend a helping hand to Wen Yu. He was a grateful person and would never tolerate anyone slandering Lu Ran in front of him.
"Just wait..."
Shen Zijun covered his stomach with both hands and threatened viciously.
Hearing Shen Zijun's 'threat', Wen Yu simply raised an eyebrow: "The first stage has officially begun. Are you sure the director will take the time to take care of these trivial matters?"
Wen Yu used the adjective "trivial".
really.
Compared to the performance of "Pick Me", the conflicts between trainees are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.
Wen Yu had been in the entertainment industry for so many years in his previous life that he had already figured out the personalities of these directors. Today was the first performance of the "Pick Me" talent show, and the director would definitely not let anyone ruin it.
Even if Shen Zijun went to complain to the director at this time, he would only get a bland answer like "trainees should be united and friendly."
Shen Zijun also realized this, and his face turned even paler. Even so, he still didn't forget to sternly say to Wen Yu: "This matter won't end so easily, just wait for me."
After saying this, Shen Zijun covered his stomach and left.
The conflict between Wen Yu and Shen Zijun attracted the attention of other trainees. Some people were looking in their direction and whispering, but most people had an attitude of "it's none of my business, I don't care".
Wen Yu didn't care about the other trainees' opinions. He set his eyes on Lu Ran and said, "Continue bandaging."
Compared with Shen Zijun’s threat, bandaging the wound is the most important thing.
Although the blood has solidified, if it is not treated in time, the wound may tear during the performance.
On the stage, the performances of the three mentors have ended.
They have taken their seats in order, the director is introducing the process, and the first trainee is ready to go on stage.
The order in which the trainees appear is determined by drawing lots.
Wen Yu drew number 20 and Lu Ran drew number 69.
"Thank you……"
Although he was thanking you, Lu Ran's voice was filled with worry: "What if he continues to cause trouble for you?"
“Is he very good?”
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.
"……ah?"
Lu Ran didn't understand why Wen Yu asked this, but he still answered honestly: "I saw the rating on his badge is 'C'. Although it's not very good, it's not bad either."
This time the ratings are "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" and "F". Shen Zijun is indeed capable as he was able to get "C" during the audition.
When it comes to ratings, Lu Ran's mood becomes depressed.
"Actually, what we should be most worried about now is the debut stage..."
"Maybe after this performance is over, we will leave the stage."
Today is the first performance. According to the rules of the game told to them by the director, "Pick Me" will eliminate eleven people today.
There were only seven contestants with an initial rating of "F", and Lu Ran didn't think he could make it through this round.
"Actually, I've been working at an entertainment company since I was fourteen. Because my foundation is relatively weak, I stay in the practice room every day to train hard..."
That was Lu Ran's most difficult but also happiest time. Lu Ran had a "singer dream" since he was a child. A scout found him on the street and tempted him with the words "You will definitely become a big star in the future". The inexperienced Lu Ran signed a contract with the agency.
Ever since signing with the agency, Lu Ran’s wish has become to “make his debut”, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished.
After ten years of twists and turns, he still didn't get what he wanted.
Lu Ran didn't know why he said all this to Wen Yu, whom he had just met. It might be because he had been suppressing it for too long, or it might be because he felt that this was his last stage performance.
“Actually, I had the opportunity to debut before.”
Mentioning what happened in the past, Lu Ran's smile turned bitter. "But every time it was interrupted by various things, either a newcomer was parachuted in to replace me, or the company was short of funds and couldn't support our debut..."
"Maybe I'm really not suited to the entertainment industry."
The matter of making his debut has become Lu Ran's inner demon.
In fact, Lu Ran’s own ability is not bad, but he tends to get nervous when encountering formal competitions. This is why he only received an “F” in the audition rating.
Wen Yu didn't interrupt Lu Ran. He listened quietly to Lu Ran's narration and suddenly asked, "Do you believe in miracles?"
Lu Ran smiled bitterly: "I'm no longer at the age to believe in miracles."
If he were sixteen or seventeen years old this year, he would definitely say "believe" to Wen Yu without hesitation, but unfortunately he is already twenty-four years old.
While his peers have either found suitable jobs or started a new family, he has been in the entertainment industry for a full ten years and is still an 18th-tier unknown star who has not made his debut.
