Should he go?
Qi An, Jiang Qiuyu, Gu Yingying, Tan Xu and others all changed color.
"Teacher Luo..."
Just as Xue Mingyu was about to speak, Luo Xiang waved his hand.
"That's the decision."
Seeing Lin Rui calmly stand up and walk towards the stage, everyone hesitated to speak.
Faced with Luo Xiang's unquestionable gaze, he could only swallow back the words that were about to come out.
After Lin Rui left, Luo Xiang finally spoke to comfort him.
"I know you're not convinced."
"Teachers were young once too, and we've all come this far from your age."
“If any one of you comes up on stage today, I believe the others will only be more dissatisfied.”
Yan Junchu said somewhat unwillingly, "Senior Lin isn't a contestant, so it's not appropriate for him to go on stage, is it?"
"Precisely because he is not a contestant, he is the most suitable person to go on stage."
Luo Xiang's expression gradually became serious.
"You've started to fight each other over a lottery."
"The competition hasn't even started yet! Look at the state you're in now, where has your unity gone?"
Want to become famous? Want more exposure and attention?
"all right."
"If you all have the ability to avoid being eliminated, you can stay on the stage forever."
"By then, top agents will be watching you, the media will be watching you, and superstars will be watching you too."
"But if you get eliminated, no matter how dazzling you are on stage today, you'll be just as embarrassed the next day!"
A group of people were brought to their senses by Luo Xiang's scolding.
Who doesn't hope to one day rise to the top?
In the past, I always felt that such unrealistic thoughts were impractical.
However, Xu Zhe's textbook example of becoming famous has caused many students to lose themselves.
Naively believing that as long as one is signed by a top agent, the chance of becoming an overnight sensation is just around the corner.
What kind of person is Xu Zhe?
If others don't know, do you think the students of Xiazhou Conservatory of Music wouldn't know?
That guy is a total loser who only knows how to push towers and flirt with girls all day long!
If he can do it, why can't I?
I could do that too!
It was precisely because of Xu Zhe's overnight fame.
Nowadays, students at various art schools have become unusually restless.
"The teachers leading the team from Xiazhou Conservatory of Music are quite capable."
"Your ability is quite good. You got the students to reflect so quickly, and your own impetuousness has also diminished considerably."
…
The teachers and students of the eight schools were unaware that the Yuezhou Arts Association had made a last-minute decision to draw lots.
Those present, whether they were involved in entertainment or media, were all secretly observing the reactions of the participating students.
Compared to the other seven art schools, which are beset by internal and external troubles and are filled with resentment.
The actions taken by the Xiazhou Conservatory of Music have garnered considerable approval.
Click!
on stage.
Faced with the constant flashes of light from the cameras, the representatives from each school who went on stage were all filled with excitement.
Their vanity was greatly satisfied.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Lin Rui.
He remained calm throughout.
He ignored the reporters in the audience and the flashes of light that kept appearing.
This extraordinary and outstanding quality has attracted a lot of attention.
Having spent so long in the entertainment industry, these people present had long since developed a keen eye for talent.
They were all too familiar with Lin Rui's current performance.
It's not pretentious, nor is it out of place.
This is a mindset that can only be cultivated after standing on the stage for a long time and undergoing countless trials.
A small group of people even felt a different kind of absurdity.
It's as if this stage was built specifically for Lin Rui.
Because of Lin Rui, he always manages to appear in the most suitable position on the stage.
Especially on stage, every fluid movement exudes elegance!
"What a terrifying young man."
Ye Yinhui gave Lin Rui a deep look.
"It's really scary; every movement has subtle changes to varying degrees."
Xu Huijing's eyes flickered.
She and Ye Yinhui reached the same conclusion.
This young man standing on the stage, with every gesture, almost embodied the word "good manners" in his very bones!
This control over the details of the body is truly terrifying when you think about it!
Ye Yinhui was once invited to attend the coronation ceremony of a member of the royal family in the United States, and personally experienced the etiquette and manners of those royal family members.
But he had only ever seen such attention to detail in etiquette as Lin Rui in one type of person!
Royal etiquette consultant!
Suddenly, both of them had a surprising idea.
"The person I've been waiting for has arrived."
Me too.
Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui both had a subtle, intriguing smile on their lips.
…
The process of drawing lots was quite simple, almost no different from drawing lots.
Since it was a last-minute decision, there weren't many complicated procedures.
Lin Rui, representing Xiazhou Conservatory of Music, was drawn against Wanzhou Drama Academy.
This time, only two arts schools from Wanzhou participated in the competition.
Based on theoretical combat strength assessments, the Bay State Drama Academy is undoubtedly a bottom-tier, utterly worthless institution.
In other words, Lin Rui drew the best possible lot.
Upon learning that their opponent was the Bay Area Drama Academy, Qi An, Yao Man, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
If they perform normally, they can easily eliminate their opponents and secure a place in the semifinals.
For this reason, much of their resentment dissipated instantly.
The eight-school competition will be conducted using an elimination system.
The two art schools that ultimately advanced to the finals then competed in an individual elimination tournament to determine the top three.
In order to demonstrate fairness and impartiality.
The five judges for the competition are from Lisbon, Santorini and France, respectively, and there is absolutely no bias in their selection based on whether they are home favorites or not.
"Now that the draw results are set, then..."
The host was about to ask the school representatives to leave.
At that moment, instructions came through the earpiece I was wearing.
The instruction came from the backend.
The host appeared calm on the surface, but almost everyone in the room was shrewd and quickly guessed what was going on, revealing expressions of anticipation.
Is this a prelude to adding unnecessary scenes?
Yang Zhaoxuan, standing on the podium, frowned slightly before disappearing from view.
"Is Wu Zhenjun, who represented Yuezhou Art Academy on stage this time, Xiao Li's nephew?"
"I've heard Xiao Li mention it before, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Xiao Li is capable at work, but he sometimes lacks consideration when it comes to things."
The art association executives sitting next to Yang Zhaoxuan all revealed meaningful expressions upon hearing this.
The underlying meaning of Yang Zhaoxuan's words can be summed up in just four words.
Unfit for important tasks.
The host understood immediately and looked at the crowd with a smile.
"You are all elites from art schools, why don't you take this opportunity to showcase your talents to the visiting guests?"
Wu Zhenjun immediately realized that his uncle had added this scene for him on the spot.
After all, it's not easy to get on this stage.
Staying for just one more minute can earn you more exposure.
"It would be my great honor."
"Of course, no problem!"
"OK!"
…
Upon hearing about this great opportunity, the art school representatives present all responded enthusiastically.
Their excitement was no less than that of Wu Zhenjun.
The host began calling out names.
Wu Zhenjun was naturally placed first.
He performed a dance accompanied by rap.
Apart from Wu Zhenjun, who had nearly two minutes of performance time, the next art school representative only had about one minute.
Such blatant favoritism and corruption—Yang Zhaoxuan didn't say it aloud, but in his heart, he had already sentenced Xiao Li, who was in charge of the work, to death.
Normally, he wouldn't care about such trivial details.
But things are different now.
On the stage, there is a person standing.
"Next, please welcome Lin Rui, a representative from Xiazhou Conservatory of Music, to perform his talent for everyone."
While glancing at his watch, the host explained, "Speaking of which, Lin Rui is not a contestant. According to the information, he is the team leader of Xiazhou Conservatory of Music."
There wasn't much of a reaction at the scene.
To be precise, everyone is already fed up with this farcical, impromptu addition.
After watching the performances of the first three students, the novelty had long worn off.
I wouldn't say I was disappointed.
It's not that the performance was bad.
To put it simply, it's utterly unappealing.
"Is Lin Rui going to perform a dance or a song?"
"Songs."
Upon hearing the word "song," the host quickly handed the microphone to Lin Rui.
"Which song does Lin Rui want to sing? Does he need any instrumental accompaniment?"
The host spoke politely.
However, his frequent glances at the mechanical watch on his wrist revealed that the host was not paying attention.
Lin Rui held the microphone and patted it lightly twice.
Once he confirmed that the signal was working, he then raised the microphone.
This time, facing countless gazes from below the stage, Lin Rui remained calm and composed.
No accompaniment needed.
"Singing a cappella is fine."
