Chapter 6: Shu Xiaoming, a Poor Dancer
So neat... so spectacular!
The cameraman took two steps back and took a shot.
Individuals certainly have the advantages of personalization, but groups still have their irreplaceable charm.
Several people from Class A and Class B each came out to demonstrate in the front row.
The scorching afternoon sun shone in obliquely, and even though beads of sweat had already dripped down the bridge of the nose and chin to the floor, no one complained of being tired or said they wanted to quit halfway.
Even though their movements were not standard and their rhythms were uneven... there was no way to take your eyes off them.
The director paced back and forth in front of the monitor twice, and had a vague premonition in his heart - the performance of this program might set a new high in his career.
Shu Ming, the core figure who accidentally brought this group of people together, is in the practice room next door, tutoring the worst of the worst students.
Who understands? When I was studying, it was always Shu Ming who tutored others, but now, there is a day when I am also tutored by others (Ｔ＿Ｔ)
This "other person" was Ye Liqing, who had already memorized the theme song, and Jiang Yingtian, who came to join in the fun.
When discussing with Jiang Yingtian in private just now, Shu Ming's proposal was actually very simple.
The middle-level students practiced together, and the top students practiced on their own. By the way, Ye Liqing was invited to guide the "poor students" with the worst foundation, including him.
He "ran with" this group of people for the whole morning. Considering his efforts and the fact that they were under the camera, they probably agreed.
But Shu Ming didn't expect that Jiang Yingtian would also join in the fun and help others with private tutoring.
However, Jiang Yingtian is indeed very confident. His ability is not inferior to Ye Liqing. He is just here to guide a few rookies, which is a matter of course.
Shu Ming's biggest problem is that he can't grasp the rhythm, and he is too hard.
In fact, this kid is weak.
If you want to do the splits, I can do it for you easily.
Talk about bending down...
"I can do it!" Shu Ming said as he went down.
The young man's flexible and strong waist is revealed from his T-shirt, and even the lines of his thin muscles are faintly visible. In the sunlight, his waist has a lustrous texture like white jade.
It looks... nice to touch.
Jiang Yingtian was distracted for a moment and scared himself, and withdrew his outstretched hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Fortunately, I braked in time, otherwise there would be a big misunderstanding.
However, how can someone with such a soft body dance so stiffly?
Jiang Yingtian was also puzzled.
The two looked at each other for a second, their eyes wide open, and neither could tell what was going on.
Fortunately, Ye Liqing, who had just finished instructing the others, came over to save the situation: "It's a breath problem."
"You completely separated the dancing from the music, like at the end of the first line."
"The breath is pushed out first, so the chest cavity is pushed out along with it."
Shu Ming actually has a lot of breath, so he has no problem singing and dancing at the same time.
Ye Liqing chose to let him give it a try.
Shu Ming tried singing and dancing twice and felt that it was indeed better than just dancing.
“Really?”
The program crew was also very good at creating effects in the post-production. They drew two furry ears that suddenly stood up on Shu Ming, coupled with Shu Ming's extremely surprised expression, which was later regarded as a famous scene by countless fans.
The sunlight made his pupils and hair turn light brown. Shu Ming smiled in the light, revealing a little bit of his fangs. He put his two paws together and prayed hard, his tail almost shaking like a propeller. "It's working! Brother Ye is awesome!"
Ye Liqing said "hmm" in a reserved manner, but his ears were actually red, but they were hidden under his hair and could not be seen clearly.
Jiang Yingtian seemed to notice something and glanced at Ye Liqing.
Why do I feel like this person is a little weird?
**
No matter how hard the contestants work in the practice room, outside the recording base, "Draft 101" has been updated again!
In order to seize the fans' attention and occupy the golden time of summer vacation, the production team invested a lot of money and worked overtime overnight to release "Initial Rating" and "Re-rating (Preview)" in one go.
It has successfully captured the attention of netizens.
The reason why Zhang Qixin knew the news was because his cousin who came to visit his home during the summer vacation told him.
"There are so many handsome guys this time~" She threw herself on the sofa with her iPad in her arms. Thinking of the ugly faces that had been stuffed in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but shudder. "There are so many ugly men. I haven't seen such an eye-catching show in a long time!"
As she spoke, she even sounded a bit sad and angry: "The program director has finally opened his eyes! Stop forcing things on the audience... Okay!"
Their eyes are also eyes, and their lives are also lives!
Zhang Qixin found it funny. Just as he was about to chat with his cousin, he saw his cousin lightly tap her finger and call up an extremely familiar face: "Here, let me show you the one I picked recently. What do you think? Isn't he handsome?"
She cupped her hands around her face, her eyes a little starry. "Isn't that the face of authority, the face of first love? Even though my talent isn't great and my singing is terrible, it doesn't matter! My face is my kingdom!"
Then, she enlarged the picture and admired it again and again: "Baby~ Mommy will spoil you~"
Singing is bad?
Zhang Qixin frowned imperceptibly. He had heard Shu Ming sing before. His singing was neither off-key nor unpleasant...
Ugly? What happened on this show?
On the Internet, there has been a lot of noise.
After all, there are limited places in Class A. If Shu Ming enters without any evidence, he will squeeze out the places and screen time of other contestants.
Especially in the "Re-rating (Trailer)", after the clip of Shu Ming's magical singing was released.
A fan of a contestant who almost gave an A was furious:
"How could such a person be admitted to Class A?"
"They keep saying they're amateurs, but I don't know what their background is."
"There must be something fishy going on here... I felt sorry for this kid last time, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid Hongniang is covering up for him."
Hongniang is the nickname of Hongyu Entertainment. Because she has not behaved like a human being for many years and loves marketing and promoting gay couples, netizens gave her the name "Hongniang".
Since "Choose 1" has just been aired and has not been really promoted, the audience is mostly fans of the contestants themselves and bystanders who love to watch the fights.
Therefore, amidst the flood of xfxy's posts criticizing Shu Ming on the forum, even those who spoke up for him gradually lost their voice...

[Title]: I raise my hand weakly. Am I the only one who thinks that S sings the same song as the previous contestant...
Main building: rt
1L: It’s normal that he sings like that. He can’t read music, so of course he has to refer to the previous person’s music.
2L: Hmm... They're all the same. Do we really need to rank them?
3L: What the hell, OP... Did you know you typed it wrong?
4L: +1
…
So, the only building that vaguely glimpsed the truth was tilted.
Let us observe two seconds of silence for Shu Xiaoming and mourn.

Jiang Yingtian fumbled on the wall and turned on the corridor light with a "click".
It was past twelve o'clock and Shu Ming was still practicing.
In the evening, the instructors came to inspect the room. Dance instructor He Ziqi also saw Shu Ming's robot dance. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked tentatively, "What are you dancing to?"
"…The theme song?"
Looking at Shu Ming again, the little dog opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and his tone was slightly trembling: "Teacher..."
Then he turned around and asked Jiang Yingtian: "Is my dancing really... am I really that bad? Is it really so bad that I can't recognize it at all?"
He Ziqi didn't dare to speak. He looked at Shu Ming with his eyelashes drooping a little dejectedly, and even wondered in a trance whether he had really done something unforgivable.
No way, the puppy's tail is drooping!
Jiang Yingtian really wanted to answer Shu Ming's question, but he didn't dare to speak.
But Shu Ming adjusted much faster than the other two. He blinked his watery eyes and immediately regained his fighting spirit. He even came over to ask for advice: "Teacher, I want to ask..."
Does He Ziqi dare to refuse?
He didn't dare, because it was his duty to answer questions and solve problems, and there was a camera filming him.
What's more, facing Shu Ming, he always felt guilty that he had done something wrong... although this feeling came inexplicably.
But after giving Shu Ming some guidance, He Ziqi unexpectedly discovered that giving guidance to this person was miraculously very fulfilling.
First of all, this kid can understand what people say.
A student who can understand what he's saying! Does anyone understand the value of this?! Shu Ming perfectly grasps his meaning in every word he says.
One sentence! Don’t! Say! It! Twice! Who! Understands! My family!
Secondly, this kid has a good ability to understand things, he understands things immediately and he is not squeamish.
There was a loud thud in the middle, but he still laughed out loud stupidly, patted his butt, and got up to continue.
Sometimes he criticizes so harshly that even his junior colleagues in the same company can't stand it, but Shu Ming seems to be fine - so this guy actually has a strong ability to withstand pressure, right?
That’s right, right?
I was just pretending!
He Ziqi folded his arms and looked at Shu Ming who was practicing over and over again, but he didn't realize that his mentality had quietly changed - from looking down on him a little to feeling sorry for Shu Ming.
The time was really too short. In fact, Shu Ming learned a lot of things, understood them, and worked hard, but that's how dance is.
It takes time, it takes practice, it takes repetition over and over again.
And this is exactly what Shu Ming lacks now.
Shu Ming also understood this principle, so he came alone to have a snack.
Shu Ming shook his sweaty head and turned around to see a man leaning against the door frame.
Jiang Yingtian didn't know how long he had been looking at it without saying anything, which scared him.
"It's already half past twelve, come to see you."
"It's already half past twelve?" Shu Ming was confused.
He didn't have a cell phone, and there was no clock in the practice room, so he had no idea what time it was.
I leaned over to Jiang Yingtian's watch and took a look. It wasn't even half past twelve, it was almost one o'clock!
"It's too late, let's go." Shu Ming hooked Jiang Yingtian's neck and chuckled, "Thank you for thinking of me~"
The two of them turned off all the lights inside and outside, and when they came out, there was indeed no one there.
It's a rare cool breeze.
Shu Ming rested his head on his arm and took two steps with his head held high: "The sky in the capital is purple."
Perhaps due to the haze, the dark sky has a slight purple tint, very slight.
It’s different from the one in Xishan Town.
Everything here is different from Xishan Town.
"What's the name of that star?" Jiang Yingtian pointed.
The only star that can be seen.
Shu Ming said without hesitation: "It's the North Star."
The wind blew through his already soaked short sleeves, and Shu Ming was stunned for a second.
No matter how different the capital is from my hometown.
The stars are all the same.
"Xiao Shu? What are you daydreaming about? Are you sleepy?"
"Yeah!" Shu Ming nodded, then ran two steps with the wind, then turned around and called Jiang Yingtian, "Come back quickly, if you delay any longer, you'll fall asleep while walking."
Jiang Yingtian didn't expect that this kid was so energetic. He had been dancing wildly in the practice room for several hours, and he could still run?
Shu Ming was still adding fuel to the fire, raising his eyebrows: "Oh no, who can't run anymore?"
The little tail sound floated out proudly.
But Jiang Yingtian couldn't just give up like that. He laughed and cursed, "Don't run! Stop!"
The two of them ran and laughed back to the dormitory.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Shu Ming dreamed of his aunt at night.
He turned over and sighed.
When can I get a cell phone so I can call my aunt?
Oh, this is such a huge problem.
