Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Assessment Online
Sheng Yushu couldn't help but look down at the information. If he remembered correctly, Yin Hongxue was seventeen years old. How could a seventeen-year-old kid be so amazing?
And the Yin Hongxue he had met before was not like this.
Didn’t Yin Hongxue cheer him on sweetly at last year’s sports meet?
Is this the same person who was singing just now?
The contrast is so big?
These five generations are truly full of "Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons".
But in the subsequent singing and dancing assessment, Yin Hongxue's performance was completely different from that in the RAP assessment, and she turned back into the cute Yin Hongxue that Sheng Yushu remembered.
Looking at Yin Hongxue, who had a sweet smile on her face, was dancing briskly, and even had a somewhat sweet voice, Sheng Yushu almost couldn't control his expression.
Can people change so much?
Sheng Yushu's shock was unknown to others. The teachers were well aware of Yin Hongxue's style and accepted it well. After each of them made their comments, Yin Hongxue bowed and thanked him.
At the same time, Lu Yao stood up, straightened his clothes which were wrinkled from sitting for a long time, and walked in front of the camera.
Everyone paid attention.
Sheng Yushu also quickly suppressed the shock that had just arisen in his heart due to Yin Hongxue's performance. He turned over the page with Yin Hongxue in the information in front of him, and saw a special symbol clearly marked on Lu Yao's name on the next page.
This is the teachers' internal evaluation of the trainees, and it is also the fifth-generation staff's guess about the members of the group.
Sheng Yushu vaguely heard that the Fifth Generation had recently parachuted in a new trainee, but could a newcomer receive so much attention?
Curious.
Ding Ling shifted her gaze to the right and met Su Junliang's.
There was no talk, but just this moment of looking at each other made them realize that they were all remembering the 'value' that Lu Yao had shown them yesterday when he found them, and what he had said after the last meeting.
——Unforgettable.

While the trainees were undergoing assessments in full swing, fans online were also busy.
After Cong'an and Wu Anyi's birthdays, the elks brought up something again after seeing Lu Yao's birthday wishes on their Weibo posts.
That is, when is Lu Yao’s birthday.
As fans, how could they not know my birthday?
Having missed the opportunity to celebrate his birthday, Lu Yao must celebrate every birthday from now on. He must have support, blessings, gifts, and materials that others have.
Fans comment on Minghui Entertainment’s Weibo every day, and those who have purchased Minghui Entertainment’s fifth-generation fan club also ask questions on Minghui Entertainment’s own APP every day, but after asking over and over again, they still don’t get any results.
How can this be possible?
Faced with Minghui Entertainment's attitude of never responding, the fans could no longer sit still. Their tone changed from gentle to fierce, and their original comments turned into rights protection. In short, whenever Minghui Entertainment released something, they would ask about Lu Yao's birthday.
On every trainee’s birthday, there will be exclusive materials and a Weibo post, and others will send him blessings. This is not only a fixed exposure segment for the trainees every year, but also an opportunity for fans to express their love.
But now there's been no response to Lu Yao's birthday. Could it be that Lu Yao doesn't have a birthday? Everyone has a birthday, but Minghui Entertainment refuses to mention it. What does this mean? Does this mean they don't want to celebrate Lu Yao's birthday?
Faced with Minghui Entertainment’s silence, fans were furious.
So fans were commenting on Weibo, on video platforms, and even under the weekly group variety shows, everyone would defend their rights first and then look at Lu Yao.
Speaking of this group variety show, fans are quite satisfied.
The summer sea and young people are a perfect match. Everyone is running on the beach. Needless to say, it naturally exudes the breath of youth. In addition, Lu Yao's performance in the group variety show is different from that in the fifth quadrant. In the fifth quadrant, more trainees sit there, listening to the program team explain various rules, and then everyone learns to dance, practice singing, and practice over and over again, and then there are various stages.
Although fans like the stage, it is because of the stage that they got to know Lu Yao and fell in love with him. But after falling in love with him, they will want to get to know him better.
In this group variety show, everyone got to know more about Lu Yao.
For example, Lu Yao has a good memory and observation ability. When others are still looking for the island coins, Lu Yao can find one at a time; when others have not paid any attention to the various details on the island, Lu Yao can remember them after just one look and can easily tell them out.
What is this called? Brainy man.
Although fans knew that Lu Yao was smart, they were still shocked when they actually saw how smart he was, and then they loved him even more.
Speaking of Lu Yao's identity as a professional chess player and his first-place score in the exam, he was even more proud of it.
Look, this is the little idol I discovered so early on! How brilliant! I have such good taste!
Faced with such outstanding results, they can show Lu Yao's results to others, even to their parents directly, and say that they are fans of a good idol and he is their role model!
Even my parents couldn't say much to refuse.
Of course, in addition to appreciating Lu Yao's intelligence and talent, there are also countless moments of licking his face.
The back of a young boy at sunrise, his clothes blown by the sea breeze, his silhouette in the distance at sunset... every picture is so beautiful that I can't stop taking screenshots.
But the excellent group variety show and Minghui Entertainment's fake response cannot offset the problem. Fans know very well what they should do. In addition to licking their faces every day, they also did not forget to ask Minghui Entertainment what the meaning of not announcing Lu Yao's birthday is.
After asking for a long time, some people couldn't help but dig up the information themselves when they saw that Minghui Entertainment had no response.
In this day and age, personal information is something that cannot be kept confidential.
Not to mention trainees like Lu Yao, even an ordinary person can easily have their personal information dug out by others if they want to.
From ID card information and various software account passwords to the schools attended since childhood and even the home address, nothing can be hidden from the investigation of those who are interested. Combined with Lu Yao's current school, they checked carefully and actually found out some things.
I have my ID card, my student ID card, and my household registration information.
Lu Yao’s birthday is now known.
January 1st.
A very special day.
On the first day of every year, Lu Yao also welcomed the new year.
As a result, Lu Yao’s birthday information quickly appeared on the encyclopedias of various platforms, which were friendly modifications made by fans after they got the date.
The birthday is here, but the rights protection cannot stop. After all, Minghui Entertainment is so slow that even things like birthdays have to be handled by fans. If the fans don’t urge them anymore, will Minghui Entertainment not be able to react by the time Lu Yao’s birthday comes, and will Lu Yao’s birthday be missed?
It is really possible for a makeshift team like this to do such a thing.
Fans will never allow themselves to be treated differently!
What others have, you must have too!
Others don’t have it, but Lu Yao is so popular, so he must be included!
In short, so many things are happening at once that even in October and November when the trainees are resting and practicing together and there are no extra appearances, the fans are very busy.
Just when everyone thought that this kind of life would continue until the debut battle, everyone unexpectedly discovered that Lu Yao suddenly had flight information.
Lu Yao actually wanted to leave Beijing and fly to another city.
And Lu Yao is the only one who has it, no one else has it?
Fans immediately became curious.
What happened that made Lu Yao, who was busy with the competition, leave Beijing alone?
Fans don’t have an answer for the time being, and Ding Ling, who knows the answer, doesn’t know whether this is good or bad.
What caused Lu Yao to leave was sudden. She received a strange phone call on the day the assessment ended.
The call came from Zhou Ling, a rising director.
When Ding Ling received the call, she didn't react at first.
Their Minghui Entertainment has many artists involved in the film and television industry and has participated in many works, but that has nothing to do with her or their fifth generation. Now suddenly a director calls, is he trying to get their trainees to star in a movie?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Ding Ling hesitated.
As far as the current fifth generation's plan is concerned, on the eve of their debut, it is best not to accept this kind of external work. To launch a group, in addition to the popularity of the group members themselves, their popularity must also be balanced.
It’s okay for some people to be more popular and some to have fewer fans, but it’s absolutely not okay for someone to have too many fans and be too popular.
Such people will not only not help the development of the group, but will become an obstacle to the development of the group.
At this critical juncture, increasing the external exposure of a certain trainee will undoubtedly be detrimental to balancing popularity.
But the one who called was Zhou Ling! It wasn't anyone else, it was that Zhou Ling!
After graduating from a well-known university, he participated in a short film competition and won the championship with his highly creative and bold shooting style. He then filmed his debut film "Dark Night Moments" and successfully won the Best New Director Award with this film, becoming famous in the entertainment industry.
But Zhou Ling, who had achieved initial success, was not disturbed by the praise. She resolutely turned down all her work and studied directing for two years. After returning from her studies, she collaborated with science fiction novelist Geng Zhaozhao. They filmed and wrote the screenplay alone and made the science fiction movie "Electronic Sheep", which grossed billions at the box office.
Director Zhou Ling's bold and delicate style and Geng Zhaozhao's magnificent imagination together constructed an Earth in the post-science fiction era, which attracted countless people's pursuit and made Zhou Ling one of the most popular directors among young people.
If she remembered correctly, the only film Zhou Ling had been preparing to film in the past two years was the second part of "Electric Sheep"? Right? Right!
Ding Ling's brain was working frantically, trying to find relevant information about Zhou Ling.
My heart was pounding, but my mind was working like crazy.
How could it possibly be "Electronic Sheep"? As a sci-fi blockbuster with heavy special effects, the special effects cycle for "Electronic Sheep" was at least a year. Three years ago, Zhou Ling and Geng Zhaozhao began preparing the script for the second part, and filming began last year, with a release expected during this year's Spring Festival. So, the special effects are almost finished now, so why would they be looking for actors at this time?
Ding Ling calmed down.
"Hello, Director Zhou."
But things are so unexpected.
After meeting Zhou Ling, Ding Ling's heart, which had calmed down, began beating violently again.
"I was watching videos recently and saw a person. If he could appear in my current movie, I believe it would bring a different feeling."
Listen! Listen to what this is saying!
The smile on Ding Ling's face froze.
Isn’t Zhou Ling’s only film currently in post-production the second part of “Electronic Sheep”?
Zhou Ling actually wants to ask their trainees to make a guest appearance!
Go make a cameo appearance in that movie that will be released during the Spring Festival, with many big names gathered and a guaranteed box office of billions!
Ding Ling: "Which trainee is it?"
——Lu Yao.
So Lu Yao appeared at the airport.
After checking the flight information, the fans rushed to the airport immediately. The moment Lu Yao's car appeared, countless fans gathered around, and dense swarms of mobile phones and cameras were instantly aimed at the car door.
Such scenes of crowds gathering together have been seen frequently since Lu Yao returned to Beijing after the fourth concert. Every day, a lot of people gather outside the chess academy where he competes. However, there are security guards to maintain order, and everyone keeps a certain distance. It is not like now, where everyone is desperately trying to squeeze forward and the security guards' obstruction is of no use at all.
Li Qiang frowned when he saw the scene outside the car. "Wait a moment before getting out."
He turned around and reminded Lu Yao in the back seat that there were too many people outside and that he and Xu Bin had to lead the way.
Lu Yao didn't say anything, but silently put the bag on his back. When Li Qiang and Xu Bin got out of the car and went to the door to maintain order, he opened the door in the opposite direction and ran out of the car before anyone could react.
He bypassed the car and everyone and rushed into the airport at a sprinting speed.
Li Qiang only felt the pressure on his body loosen, and before he could react, he saw that the fans who kept pushing forward seemed to have lost their target, looked back blankly, and then swarmed into the airport again.
Li Qiang and Xu Bin looked at each other in confusion.
If he saw correctly, the dark figure that ran in was Lu Yao, right? Right? Right?
Oh my god, how come you run so fast?
Everyone had run away, so it was naturally impossible for the two to stay outside. Li Qiang hurriedly picked up his luggage and said goodbye to Xu Bin, then ran into the airport with heavy steps. However, there might still be a big gap between a teenager and a young man. Li Qiang ran so hard that his stomach hurt, and he didn't see a single hair of Lu Yao. He only saw those fans carrying cameras walking around the airport in a daze, just like him.
He took out his cell phone and saw that Lu Yao had sent him a message.
Lu Yao: I’ve passed security check.
Li Qiang: ...
That’s fast.
This is too fast.
So today Lu Yao’s fans only captured a picture of a black shadow running wildly in the airport. The run was so fast that Lu Yao’s face could not be seen unless the motion was slowed down.
With such speed, it would be a shame if Lu Yao didn't become a sprinter.
This is what fans commented.
As soon as I confirmed that Lu Yao had indeed left Beijing, more doubts came to my mind.
When his debut variety show was about to be recorded, what was Lu Yao going to do by leaving Beijing alone?
The fans kept searching and finally found something.
The city Lu Yao was going to was Bincheng, where there were no entertainment-related projects in the recent period. But just the day before Lu Yao went to Bincheng, director Zhou Ling also went to Bincheng.
A day earlier, Zhou Lingceng said in an interview: "Electric Sheep Part 2 is already in post-production and will be released this Spring Festival. However, I have some new ideas recently and will do some reshoots. I hope that when you see the movie during the Spring Festival, you will feel a little surprise."
The next day after the reshoot was announced, Zhou Ling flew to Bincheng.
The meaning is very clear, Zhou Ling's reshoots will be done in Bincheng.
And now, Lu Yao also flew to Bincheng.
The timing is so coincidental that it's hard not to think of them together.
Faced with such speculation, more fans panicked.
"Don't take Xiaolu with you on such a big project."
"Let's not speculate on this kind of thing. Whether it's true or not, it's bad for Xiaolu."
"Zhou Ling's movie? That's impossible."
Fans speculated and speculated, but they couldn't believe it. They really couldn't put the names of Zhou Ling and Lu Yao together. But fans of other families in the fifth generation, no matter how true it was, would strangle it in the cradle as long as there was a slight possibility.
I immediately took Lu Yao's flight information and Zhou Ling's interview and itinerary and started to defend my rights.
It started, it started again.
The fan circle’s endless road to rights protection seems to have no end.
Minghui Entertainment did not respond, but quietly released the November assessment video.
As soon as the video came out, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
The first to attract attention were the fans of the fourth generation.
"No, Gray Island is picking his feet at home every day, just to be a judge for the fifth generation?"
As soon as the Grey Island members appeared on the screen, the Greys couldn't stand it anymore.
They'd been waiting day and night for new jobs on Grey Island, and this was all they got? Judges for the Fifth Generation Assessment? All seven of them? Was Grey Island just that idle?
"If you really have so much free time, why not just quit the group and go solo and disband it sooner rather than later!"
"I really don't want to follow this group for a single day, it's so disgusting."
Facing the Greys who came over, the fifth generation fans were not at all intimidated.
If it was the third or second generation, they would have definitely run away in disgrace, but the fourth generation? Sorry, it’s hard to say who will be more popular.
Gray despises the fifth generation, but she doesn't know that the fifth generation also despises the fourth generation.
Since the senior brother has come, why not take a big one if you want to take advantage of him? Instead of getting scolded for nothing.
With such resentment, the fans immediately launched a counterattack.
'Hey, the amateur group is here again'
'An old man's smell'
"Don't disband, just quit the industry."
"We wouldn't even want to suck your blood even if you just gave it to us."
This kind of relationship really makes Minghui Entertainment's efforts in building family ties over the years in vain.
But no matter how much the fans argue and curse, the most important thing is the content of this assessment.
They soon began to read it carefully.
This is amazing to see.
The teachers actually scolded so harshly.
Even though a lot of footage was cut out in post-production, the few remaining words and the trainees' expressions made it easy for fans to tell how harsh the teachers' words were, and everyone became angry.
I hold you in my hands, afraid of dropping you, in my mouth, afraid of melting you, your baby, the one who made so much money for Minghui Entertainment. How dare you let so many teachers scold you so harshly? What gives you the right? What gives these teachers the right?
Before one wave of controversy subsides, another wave arises. Fans have quickly cut out the teacher's comments and posted them online to start denouncing the teacher.
So within half an hour of the release of the assessment video, fans had already started two verbal battles over "Is it easy to suck the blood of the fourth-generation group?" and "Why do those teachers have the right to curse people?"
The energy is quite strong.
But the majority of fans did not join in the war of words. They watched the video silently and kept going. At the same time, fans of various groups also edited their own clips and posted them online.
When Yang Hui returned home after class, as soon as he opened the website, the assessment video released by Minghui Entertainment was pushed to his homepage.
In fact, he rarely watches Minghui Entertainment's videos. These trainees are all his students, and they spend enough time together in daily life. It always feels weird to watch them on the Internet, not to mention the assessment videos where they are on the scene.
Do you watch something online again after watching it offline?
There is absolutely no need for that.
But today, when looking at the video on the homepage, Yang Hui couldn't help but move the mouse and click on it, and the scene of the assessment day involuntarily emerged in his mind.
I still remember the day of the assessment. After most people had finished the assessment, Lu Yao took the stage right after Yin Hongxue.
Before the assessment began, they got the assessment order for the day. Yang Hui also paid special attention to Lu Yao's name, so when Yin Hongxue came up, he began to look forward to it.
When facing Lu Yao, this unpolished gem, he always showed more emotions than when facing other people.
He first met Lu Yao during an assessment four months ago. At that time, Lu Yao sang a highly difficult and technically demanding song, demonstrating his outstanding talent. In the following four months of classes, Lu Yao also demonstrated his amazing learning ability.
Every class, every day, he makes visible progress.
It's like a dry sponge that is finally soaked in water and is desperately absorbing moisture.
Yang Hui was also extremely excited to teach Lu Yao everything he knew, little by little, hoping that he could learn more and sing better.
But the faster Lu Yao learned, the more clearly his problems became exposed. Or perhaps it could be said that these were not really problems, but rather difficulties that Lu Yao would most likely encounter at his current age.
That means having no experience.
There are many good songs, but what kind of songs can touch people's hearts?
When the singer cannot convince himself, his songs will certainly not be able to convince the audience.
Nice to hear, but not moving.
This is what Lu Yao is like now.
He could learn every technique Yang Hui taught him, remember every pause and breath Yang Hui said, and then perform it exactly the same, but all of this was just singing.
Perhaps because Lu Yao was so talented, Yang Hui couldn't help but raise his expectations, always hoping that Lu Yao could sing better and even better.
Rather than just showing off your skills.
When he said this to Ding Ling, Yang Hui felt that he even saw Ding Ling rolling her eyes.
Indeed, it seems a bit ridiculous to ask these things of a fourteen-year-old who has only just started learning to sing for five months.
But who said that this was an unreasonable request?
Yang Hui clicked the mouse on the progress bar without thinking too much. The song that still lingered in his memory reminded him of the time in this assessment. He clicked the mouse, the picture changed, and Lu Yao's figure appeared on the screen.
Isn’t that what he’s been waiting for?
——A moving interpretation by Lu Yao.
