After the cheers, the mentors took their seats.
The seating arrangement for the five people is quite particular.
Shen Hanquan, as the initiator, sat in the very center.
Zheng Feicai, being a senior colleague, sat next to Shen Hanquan. Shi Xi sat on the other side of Zheng Feicai, in a peripheral position.
Ai Yi and Shuo Nan sat on the other side of Shen Hanquan. The two were friends, so it was easy for them to chat. Shuo Nan, being young and inexperienced, sat on the edge.
Each of the five had a stack of documents in front of them, bound according to the order in which the trainees would appear on stage.
Shi Xi flipped through the pages casually; there were also prompts from the production team indicating which trainees needed to take an extra test and which trainees needed to ask questions.
Trainees marked with five stars need special attention. Those without any stars are simply not worth mentioning.
Shi Xi: ...
Good grief, so it's a fully automated talent show?
However, the mentors around him looked normal, as if they had already gotten used to the fact that talent shows are scripted.
Shen Hanquan said, "Please invite the first group of trainees to come up."
The first group of trainees to go on stage were two handsome boys.
If placed among ordinary people, their appearance would indeed be outstanding.
But since Shi Xi arrived here, she's been constantly surrounded by high-quality men like Xie Yunzhou, Shi Xu, and Leng Qiankun—men who could easily rely on their looks but choose to rely on their talent. And in "Star Selection Idol," she's seen even more handsome men like Shen Hanquan and Shuo Nan, making her immune to good-looking guys.
After introducing themselves, the two began their first stage performance.
Shi Xi held her pen and watched the two's initial stage performance intently, striving to become an excellent mentor.
But as soon as the two opened their mouths, Shi Xi couldn't help but frown.
He started singing off-key as soon as he opened his mouth.
Bro, this won't do!
Shi Xi was still wearing her in-ear monitor and looked confused when she heard the off-key voice.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I listening to?
When the song reached its chorus, Shi Xi finally recognized which song it was.
After watching the mentors' performances and then watching their own, Shi Xi felt as if she were watching a kindergarten graduation party.
As the lights froze and the music ended, the two trainees made their final ending expressions on stage.
Sparse and polite applause rang out from the audience.
The performance was indeed quite average.
Especially the first group to take the stage, which followed the dazzling mentor show.
Shi Xi felt sorry for them.
Shen Hanquan picked up the microphone and said, "I'm a little nervous."
The two trainees nodded nervously.
The first group to perform, and it was a mentor's show, so of course they were nervous.
Zheng Feicai commented on the vocal performance, saying strictly, "She was off-key from the very first note and only managed to find her footing in the chorus. In my opinion, her singing was unacceptable."
Shi Xi picked up the microphone, "They..."
"It's clear that their basic dance skills are quite good; they didn't make any mistakes." Shuo Nan and Shi Xi were sitting too far apart to see each other's movements, and Shuo Nan spoke almost at the same time as Shi Xi.
Shuo Nan finished speaking first, then looked at Shi Xi and said with a smile, "What advice do you have for me, Instructor Shi?"
Shi Xi knew that Shuo Nan didn't call her Teacher Shi out of respect.
Instead, they felt she had no skills and deliberately called her "Mentor Shi".
"They danced with great energy." Shi Xi and Shuo Nan shared similar opinions; they could tell that although the two were nervous, their dance was flawless. But Shuo Nan had already said everything, so she could only praise them for their energy.
"I thought Professor Shi would praise them for being handsome." Shuo Nan smiled, his words full of sarcasm, implying that Shi Xi only cared about looks.
Shi Xi retorted calmly, "He really is handsome. Anyone with eyes can see that. What? Can't Instructor Shuo Nan see it?"
Considering the presence of the camera, Shi Xi embellished her statement, "Is Professor Shuo Nan blind?"
The atmosphere on the field was tense and dangerous.
