Cheng Zhi's symptoms were only mild, and he slowly recovered after eating a piece of chocolate. Song Baiyi waited quietly by the side, and only spoke slowly when Cheng Zhi was able to stand up on his own.
"So desperate?"
Cheng Zhi hummed, raised his eyes and looked at Song Baiyi, "Because I want to be promoted to Class A during the theme song video test."
The theme song video test was scheduled on the afternoon of the last day of training. The contestants had only one chance to record a video. They would play the accompaniment and then sing and dance to the theme song by themselves. The mentors would then evaluate and re-rate the contestants based on the uploaded videos.
This is the only way to get promoted from Class F to Class A.
Being in class A means that there will be more shots and exposure during the filming, while staying in class F means that I can only be a backup dancer off the stage.
The treatment is not just a little bit bad.
Song Baiyi looked at Cheng Zhi's hair that was wet with sweat, and said calmly: "I just saw your performance. If you perform normally, you can go to Class A."
Cheng Zhi hummed, "Not just this."
Song Baiyi probably also saw why Cheng Zhi was working so hard, and he replied: "You want to become a junior C, right?"
On the day of the theme song performance, everyone stood in a triangle shape, and the person standing in the middle naturally became the focus of attention. That person was Chu C.
Cheng Zhi lifted his eyelids and glanced at Song Baiyi, his eyes showing very little emotion, "Not only that, I also want to debut as the center."
In the previous world, Cheng Zhi participated in a talent show at the age of 17 and became the hot topic of the year. He finally took the center position and was praised by major media. After that, he had a smooth journey and became the ace of the top boy group.
Now that he’s back to the novice village, if he can’t even be the center, then wouldn’t all his years of being an idol be in vain?
Probably as expected, Song Baiyi was not very surprised, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Song Baiyi's indifference was a little unexpected to Cheng Zhi. In his opinion, if someone failed in the first stage and said to him in class F, "I will be the final center," Cheng Zhi would think that was a pipe dream.
Cheng Zhi smiled and said, "Teacher Song, you are a good mentor."
He is more fair and responsible than any other instructor I have ever met, and he looks at his students without any prejudice.
"I just did what I had to do."
Song Baiyi lowered his eyes and understood the meaning of Cheng Zhi's words.
"I will make the most objective evaluation based on the strength of each student and provide evaluation and guidance when appropriate. This is the best way I can think of to be responsible to you."
Song Baiyi continued, "I won't deny all your efforts and abilities just because you are in Class F."
"From being in class F to finally debuting as the center, I really hope to see a miracle in you."
Cheng Zhi took a deep breath and hummed, "Thank you, Teacher Song, for believing in me."
Song Baiyi nodded and looked at his watch. It was 0:57 in the morning.
"So, future miracle, can you go back and rest now?"
Miracle:"?"
Miracle himself said that he still wants to continue training now.
Cheng Zhi spoke quietly, "Teacher Song... it takes time and energy to cultivate miracles. I haven't completed my training mission today."
Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows and continued with Cheng Zhi's words: "Miracle just fainted due to hypoglycemia. If we continue to practice, I'm afraid the ambulance will appear on our show before Miracle."
Cheng Zhi: “…”
Cheng Zhi wanted to continue arguing but was interrupted by Teacher Song.
"It's no use trying to keep time. If something happens to you during filming or performance, who are you going to cry to?"
Seeing that Teacher Song was talking like a sutra without stopping, Cheng Zhi seized the opportunity and quickly raised his hand to call for a stop.
"Stop talking, I'm going back now."
On the last day of the theme song training, Cheng Zhi resumed his normal routine and diet under Shen You's supervision. His mental state improved a lot.
While eating lunch, Chen You bit her chopsticks and asked Cheng Zhi hesitantly.
"What should I do? I'm a little nervous. What if I don't perform well during the video recording this afternoon?"
Chen You asked several questions in a row about what to do, which confused Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi quickly comforted him: "It's okay, just keep calm and believe in yourself, you can definitely do it."
What Cheng Zhi said was from the heart. He had been training with Shen You recently, and Shen You had been working very hard standing next to him. Cheng Zhi felt very gratified to see Shen You's singing and dancing skills getting better and better.
So this is the joy of the cultivation system, he realized.
Seeing that Chen You's hands were shaking, Cheng Zhi felt a little distressed. He guessed that this child had little stage experience, so it was normal that he couldn't adjust for a while.
Cheng Zhi stood up and poured a cup of hot water for Chen You, "Here, drink some water and calm down."
Chen You took the water tremblingly. The water level was shaking because his hands were shaking. Cheng Zhi felt that the water would spill out in the next second, so he reminded Chen You to be careful not to get burned.
Chen You drank some water and seemed to have recovered, but she seemed to be crying when she spoke, "I'm afraid that I won't perform well. You are so outstanding that you must be in Class A. I don't want to be too far behind you..."
Hearing this reason, Cheng Zhi bit his lower lip and didn't know how to reply to Chen You for a while.
He didn't say anything, but rubbed Chen You's head.
…
The afternoon's individual recording of the theme song began, and everyone returned to their own classes. The uncle carrying the photographic equipment entered Class F, set up the camera in front, adjusted the equipment, and looked at the students in Class F who were sitting cross-legged on the floor obediently.
"You guys watch, I'm just responsible for filming."
As the monitor of Class F, Xia Yu stood up to organize everyone, "Let's go according to the list. I'll be the first one."
There will be no tutors present during the video recording. They are now sitting backstage waiting for the video to be transmitted for real-time evaluation. Basically, the evaluation results will be available by tomorrow.
Naturally, the task of playing the theme song accompaniment fell on the squad leader Xia Yu.
Xia Yu brought out the speakers from the corner and asked the contestants sitting nearby to start playing music. He went in front of the camera in advance to get ready.
"Hello, teachers. I am trainee Xia Yu..."
When he finished speaking, the accompaniment started, and Xia Yu began singing and dancing to the music.
Cheng Zhi sat next to him and listened quietly. As soon as Xia Yu opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong.
The breathing is unstable and the pitch is high at the beginning, so it will be easy to become breathless later on.
Afterwards, just as Cheng Zhi had expected, Xia Yu began to be out of breath after just one minute of singing, and even his dance moves were greatly affected.
The result of the photo probably won’t be that good, Cheng Zhi thought.
When Xia Yu finished recording, he came down panting, "Wow, I'm so tired, this song is really not something a human can finish singing..."
When Cheng Zhi heard Xia Yu's complaints, he turned away, looked at his nose and his heart, and said nothing.
According to the list, the next person to record is Chen You.
Before going up, even though Cheng Zhi knew it would be useless, he still patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Come on!"
Chen You took a sip of water, adjusted her breathing, and walked straight to the recording location.
Cheng Zhi was watching from below, and was also holding his breath for Chen You.
I was more nervous than going on stage myself...
As Chen You finished her self-introduction, the accompaniment began to play.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Cheng Zhi felt at ease.
The song's breath and other aspects were well controlled, and the dance's strength and structure were beautifully executed. Cheng Zhi's heart slowly settled down.
In the end, Chen You lived up to everyone's expectations and danced through the entire song completely, with many noteworthy parts.
"That's great..." Chen You sat back next to Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi took out a piece of paper and stuffed it into Chen You's hand to wipe his sweat, "Very good, now it depends on how the instructors evaluate it."
Shen You hummed twice, “At least the efforts were not in vain.”
The filming continued, and because people were called according to the list, Cheng Zhi was naturally the last one.
He didn't care about that and sat there with a relaxed attitude, occasionally evaluating in his mind whether the students who had gone up had trained seriously during this period.
When it was Fang Qiao's turn, Cheng Zhi automatically turned his head away and looked down at his fingers.
I don't want to watch it. No matter how badly he dances, he can always move up from Class F.
Fang Qiao's performance began. Cheng Zhi listened to a few words and found his performance mediocre. At the end, he felt a little breathless just like Xia Yu.
The filming went smoothly. The people in front of him took their turns one by one. When it was the turn of the person in front of Cheng Zhi, Cheng Zhi took a sip of water and adjusted his state.
It's time to get serious.
"The last one, Cheng Zhi." Xia Yu turned the pen and looked at Cheng Zhi's face.
"It's your turn, go ahead."
After saying that, Xia Yu showed a very subtle smile, which made Cheng Zhi have a bad feeling.
Cheng Zhi shook his head and told himself not to think too much. After listening to Chen You's words, he stood up and walked towards the shooting location.
"Hello, teachers. I am trainee Cheng Zhi..."
After introducing himself, Cheng Zhi bowed to the camera, then stood quietly waiting for Xia Yu to play the accompaniment.
Cheng Zhi stood there for a few seconds and didn't hear the sound of the prelude, and the bad feeling in his heart was confirmed.
"Oh, the speakers seem to be broken. Why is there no sound?"
Xia Yu spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Cheng Zhi to hear.
Nothing happened to the people in class F when they played the accompaniment, but something went wrong when it came to me.
Without accompaniment, it is difficult for contestants to dance to the beat accurately and they are also prone to singing out of tune.
There is only one chance to record a video, and once it starts, it cannot be stopped.
"How can he find the beat without accompaniment?"
"Cheng Zhi is doomed. Everyone only gets one chance to record."
"Wow, he's starting to jump. I wonder if there will be a lot of mistakes."
Of course it will, Xia Yu thought proudly.
The next second, Cheng Zhi's performance was beyond the expectations of everyone present.
Although there was no accompaniment, when he began to sing a cappella, his breathing was steady, his dance moves were clean and neat without any hesitation, the strength was just right, and he looked very comfortable.
Xia Yu stared with wide eyes as he watched Cheng Zhi's entire singing and dancing performance.
Even without accompaniment, anyone with a little training can tell the difference.
Cheng Zhi hit the beat at every node with precision and accuracy, making it a textbook performance.
