"Teacher Song, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
In the monitoring room, the director was debugging the equipment. Following the sound of the door being pushed open, he saw Song Baiyi standing at the door. He was wearing a black coat with sharp lines, giving people a sense of oppression.
Song Baiyi leaned against the door frame, his eyes falling on the entire screen wall behind the director's body. It was covered with large and small display screens, showing real-time footage of classes A to F.
The director had a smile on his face and asked in a flattering tone, "Teacher Song, are you here to check the surveillance? I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you."
Song Baiyi hummed, walked through the other desks, stood next to the screen wall, and looked up at the screen of Class F. The light from the screen fell on his face, making his skin look even whiter, and he didn't look very happy.
The director had been with Song Baiyi for a long time and had long been accustomed to his cold demeanor, so he didn't think much about it. He was just a little curious as to why Song Baiyi suddenly appeared in the monitoring room.
"Teacher Song, is there anything you want to see? I can help you find it."
Song Baiyi hummed, raised his hand and looked at the watch, "Please pull up some surveillance footage from Class F and play it for me starting from half an hour ago."
The director groaned and agreed quickly. While operating the surveillance video on the computer, he was thinking in his mind what happened in Class F half an hour ago. Song Baiyi himself had to go to the monitoring room to confirm it.
The director moved quickly, and soon, the video content of Class F from half an hour ago popped up on the screen in front of Song Baiyi.
The video shows the part where Tina had just finished the group teaching and asked everyone to find a partner.
Seeing this, the director realized that Fang Qiao from Class F seemed to have had a conflict with someone.
In order to confirm with Song Baiyi, the director specifically said, "Teacher Song, this is what you want to see, right?"
Song Baiyi nodded, "Yes, that's it."
The director said "oh", stopped what he was doing, and silently raised the clarity of the video to a higher level.
Fang Qiao was brought in by the program investor Lin Jiahuai, and the program crew has already decided that no matter how capable Fang Qiao is, he will be allowed to go the route of marketing and publicity before making his debut.
The director watched Song Baiyi staring at the screen intently and secretly pondered in his mind.
Is Fang Qiao so capable that he could make the rich kid Lin Jiahuai and the big shot Song Baiyi spend so much time and effort on him?
The video soon came to the part where Cheng Zhi and Fang Qiao interacted with each other. It was also the first time that the director had seen this part.
In the video, the two of them were practicing together. While they were dancing, Fang Qiao took Cheng Zhi out of the camera's range. Then, Fang Qiao fell to the ground and a group of people surrounded him.
I couldn't see what happened in between.
Song Baiyi frowned and asked the director to change the scene back.
After going back and forth several times, Song Baiyi got nothing.
“Are there any other camera angles?”
"Ah, yes, yes. I'll go adjust it."
After that, the director changed the perspective several times in succession and pulled the progress bar several times according to Song Baiyi's instructions.
I thought Song Baiyi would be satisfied, but the director noticed that his brows were getting deeper and deeper.
Even if the director was not very perceptive, he could tell that what Song Baiyi wanted to see was the video of Fang Qiao before she fell.
"Teacher Song, I heard that it was Cheng Zhi who tripped Fang Qiao. I wonder what you want to confirm, the details of the conflict between the two people?"
Song Baiyi glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "How did you confirm that it was Cheng Zhixian who did it?"
The director was suddenly choked by his question and stammered, "Because Fang Qiao fell to the ground first, it's impossible that he staged it himself to frame Cheng Zhi, right?"
As he spoke, Fang Qiao's face appeared in the director's mind. He looked so pure and innocent, and didn't look like someone who would frame other contestants.
Song Baiyi's tone was a little cold, "Don't rule out this possibility."
After so many years in the entertainment industry, he has long seen through the methods of these people, which are nothing more than malicious editing, piecing together evidence, throwing dirty water on others, and so on.
The first time he served as a mentor, he happened to witness the scene where Cheng Zhi was framed. If he hadn't had the habit of recording phone calls on his phone at that time, who knows how Cheng Zhi would have been framed.
As a mentor, he feels that the most important thing is to ensure that every contestant is treated fairly, rather than easily accusing someone of a crime based on a video without a beginning or an end, or one-sided statements from others.
What's more, he admired Cheng Zhi's abilities.
Song Baiyi didn't want the flower buds that hadn't had time to bloom to be wiped out in the mud by someone with ulterior motives.
The director was confused by Song Baiyi's words and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just listened to Song Baiyi's instructions and increased the progress and changed the angles again and again.
After a while, Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows and asked the director to stop.
"Pull it to the third angle, at 37 points, and enlarge the mirror on the left."
The director did as he was told and looked up at the video.
Because the camera was zoomed in, the video quality was a bit blurry, but Fang Qiao and Cheng Zhi could still be seen in the reflection of the mirror.
In the video, Cheng Zhi was teaching Fang Qiao the kicking movements of the theme song. After teaching for a while, Cheng Zhi suddenly stepped forward, and when he was doing the leg movements again, Fang Qiao just stretched out his leg and kicked Cheng Zhi's ankle hard.
Then, Fang Qiao fell to the ground, and after that, everything was just like what was filmed from other camera angles.
After watching the video, Song Baiyi already had a definite answer in his mind.
"Teacher Song, this..."
Song Baiyi nodded and scrolled through the progress bar twice to confirm that Fang Qiao was indeed directing and acting in all of this.
The director was speechless while watching the video. For a moment he couldn't think of any words to describe his current mood.
"Director Chen, please copy this video file to my mobile phone." Song Baiyi took out his mobile phone from his pocket without changing his expression and placed it in front of the director.
"Teacher Song, what are you going to do?"
Fang Qiao was someone that Lin Jiahuai had inserted. Before the show, he had repeatedly asked the director to take good care of her. But now...if he handed the video over and Lin Jiahuai knew about it, wouldn't it be...
Seeing that the director hadn't responded yet, Song Baiyi spoke again, "Director Chen, could you please help me copy the video to my phone?"
The director looked embarrassed, "No, Mr. Song, Fang Qiao was sent in by the Lin family. What do you want to do with the video?"
"Who was Lin Jiahuai stuffed in?"
The director nodded haltingly.
Song Baiyi said, "What does it have to do with me?"
The director was shocked and suddenly realized that the person in front of him seemed to be more difficult to deal with than Lin Jiahuai.
Song Baiyi was the first C position to debut in the 707 series of programs. He became famous at a young age. Not only did he establish his own agency, he also dared to confront Lin Jiahuai's father's company.
If we say that Lin Jiahuai is a rich second-generation who spends money like water, then Song Baiyi is the big boss who can earn one more zero than the water in a day.
“.....”
Director Chen is a fence-sitter. Once he recognizes the situation, he immediately and clearly finds his position.
Without saying a word, he immediately copied the video to Song Baiyi's mobile phone.
It's still 1080p.
"Thank you for your hard work." Song Baiyi took the phone, turned around and walked out the door.
The director watched Song Baiyi's back as he walked out the door with trepidation, not daring to say a word, and was trying to recall in his mind whether he had said anything wrong.
At this time, in the infirmary.
"Cheng Zhi, what are you talking about?" Lin Jiahuai widened his eyes in disbelief, "When did I say we wanted to break up?"
Cheng Zhi crossed his arms and answered him, "You didn't say it, but now, I dumped you."
Seeing that Lin Jiahuai didn't respond, Cheng Zhi patiently said it again, "I said, I dumped you, we are broken up now, do you understand?"
Fang Qiao's expression changed very naturally. He was still in shock just now, but now tears were about to fall. He raised his hand to pull the corner of Lin Jiahuai's clothes.
"Brother Jia Huai, go and persuade Cheng Zhi. I don't want you two to break up because of me..."
Lin Jiahuai was a little confused. In his entire life, he had always been the one to dump others, but this was the first time he was dumped by someone.
Cheng Zhi has only been on the show for two weeks, how come he suddenly seems like a different person?
Didn’t he stick to me like a piece of candy every day before?
Lin Jiahuai couldn't understand.
Cheng Zhi looked at the two people snuggling together in front of him and felt a little annoyed. He was too lazy to say more to Lin Jiahuai. After saying goodbye, he didn't care that he hadn't had time to check on his foot injury and got ready to leave.
Fang Qiao was dumbfounded. He saw that Cheng Zhi was not jealous of Lin Jiahuai's special care for him, but also proposed to break up. The words he had prepared to anger Cheng Zhi were completely useless. He felt upset.
Seeing Cheng Zhizheng preparing to leave, Fang Qiao became anxious. He tugged at Lin Jiahuai in panic and said in a crying voice, "Brother Jiahuai, please think of a way. I don't want to be the one who destroys the relationship between you two."
Lin Jiahuai took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Zhi who was about to leave. He said, "Cheng Zhi, are you sure? Without me, do you think you would have such good resources? With your mediocre skills, do you think you can be on this show?"
With the help of the original owner's memory, Cheng Zhi recalled what benefits Lin Jiahuai had brought to him.
Apart from helping him get on the show, it seems like that's all.
The subsequent memory was that Lin Jiahuai turned a blind eye to Fang Qiao's attempt to take advantage of Cheng Zhi's misfortune, and that Lin Jiahuai later abandoned him, all of which were the causes of the original owner's death.
hehe.
Do you want this resource?
Cheng Zhi sneered, "Thank you very much for helping me get on this show. Next, I will let you watch carefully how I use the resources you gave me as a springboard to get rid of you."
"you..."
Lin Jiahuai clenched his fists. He had never seen Cheng Zhi like this before. He was confident, decisive, and... seemed to hate him.
Seeing Lin Jiahuai’s frown, Cheng Zhi felt refreshed, and even the injury on his foot didn’t hurt as much anymore.
Cheng Zhi cast his eyes on Fang Qiao's face, his tone a little cold: "I've wanted to say this for a long time. Your acting skills are really good. If your dancing skills were at the same high level, you might not be in Class F."
Lin Jiahuai and Fang Qiao were frightened by Cheng Zhi's words and didn't know what to say for a while.
Especially Fang Qiao, whose complexion was greener than the vegetables grown in the organic greenhouse.
After confronting the scumbag and his white moonlight in one breath, Cheng Zhi felt a lot better and walked out without looking back.
Just after walking two steps out of the door, Song Baiyi walked towards Cheng Zhi.
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted quickly and raised his hand to greet Song Baiyi.
"What a coincidence, Teacher Song..."
Song Baiyi hummed, his eyes fell on Cheng Zhi's ankle, "Is your foot okay?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Cheng Zhi's eyes, and he soon understood what Song Baiyi was asking.
He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Thank you, Teacher Song, for your concern."
Cheng Zhi turned his eyes away and didn't look at Song Baiyi. "If Teacher Song has nothing to do, I will go back to training first."
Song Baiyi called out to Cheng Zhi, "Do you need me to send you the surveillance footage?"
"Well..." Cheng Zhi paused and looked at the door of the infirmary. "No need for that."
Cheng Zhi's answer was beyond Song Baiyi's expectation. Song Baiyi was stunned for a moment and said, "But your foot was injured because of him."
Cheng Zhi shook his head. "It's just a minor injury. It won't affect everyone's training progress. Don't worry."
He felt that this was enough for now. He had gotten rid of his relationship with the scumbag. As long as Fang Qiao didn't take the initiative to provoke him again, he could prepare for the show with peace of mind.
Besides, he has been in the industry for so many years, so what injuries must he have suffered?
My ankle just hurts a little, it’s no big deal, Cheng Zhi thought.
Song Baiyi frowned slightly, and seeing that Cheng Zhi was too lazy to delve into the matter further, he said nothing more.
Cheng Zhi looked at the time and said, "Teacher Song, if there is nothing else, I will go back to training first."
Song Baiyi hummed and waved to Cheng Zhi, "Go ahead, practice hard."
Cheng Zhi nodded and turned to walk towards the practice room.
The injury on his ankle seemed to be getting more and more serious. Every time Cheng Zhi took a step forward, he felt a sharp pain there.
He gritted his teeth, tried his best to make his walking posture look less strange, and slowly moved towards the practice room.
At the same time, Song Baiyi seemed to sense something and looked up at Cheng Zhi's leaving back.
He was limping, and it was obvious that his right foot was injured and he couldn't exert force.
Song Baiyi's mind echoed with Cheng Zhigang's words.
Just a minor injury...
Song Baiyi's eyes darkened, he turned his head away and retracted his gaze.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the other contestants in the F class practice room left one after another, leaving only Cheng Zhi and Shen You.
The lights were halfway on, Cheng Zhi silently turned down the volume of the theme song accompaniment, sat aside, took the ice pack that Chen You had just brought and applied it to his legs.
"Cheng Zhi, it's already very late. If you don't go back now, you won't have time to wash up. You have to get up early to practice tomorrow, and you still have an injury on your leg..."
Cheng Zhi took a sip of water and said, "It's just a minor injury. I'll practice for a while. You can go back first."
"But..." Shen You frowned.
"Don't say but." Cheng Zhi stood up and stood in front of Chen You, lowered his hand and took the ice pack from Chen You's hand, "You can go back, I know my limits."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi put down the ice pack and continued to step on it and pat it and start picking.
Persuasion was fruitless, Shen You sighed and put down the mineral water she had prepared for Cheng Zhi.
"Come back early after practice. You can't stay up all night... We've only just started, don't ruin your health."
Cheng Zhi hummed vaguely, continued watching the video and started training.
Cheng Zhi's training plan was disrupted today by Fang Qiao. Coupled with his injury, the training effect and efficiency were greatly reduced. Cheng Zhi had no choice but to use other people's rest time to practice.
The practice continued, Cheng Zhi picked up the tablet and studied the detailed movements again.
An hour later, Song Baiyi, who had just finished a meeting and was about to go back to rest, passed by rows of practice rooms. Only Class F had the lights on, and the sound of music could be faintly heard from inside.
Song Baiyi walked over and saw the person inside clearly with the help of the light.
Because of his injury, Cheng Zhi had difficulty taking one step. He put down the tablet and tried several times but was still not satisfied.
Cheng Zhi sighed, sat back and continued to apply the ice pack to his ankle, while watching the video and studying the movements.
Song Baiyi's heart moved as he looked at the ice packs and half-drunk mineral water bottles scattered around Cheng Zhi.
He was silent for a moment, turned around and went back to his lounge, rummaged through the medicine box provided by the program team, and picked and chose until he found a bottle of ointment for treating sprains.
Song Baiyi took the ointment and knocked on the door of Class F.
When Cheng Zhi heard the noise, he took his eyes off the tablet. After seeing who was outside the door, he subconsciously hid the ice pack in his hand.
"Teacher Song, did I disturb you by being too loud during training?"
Hearing Cheng Zhi's reaction, Song Baiyi raised his eyebrows, walked up to him, and handed him the ointment.
"It's getting late. After applying it, go back and rest. Otherwise, your serious injury will affect your training tomorrow."
