BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17: Why?
Chapter 17: Why?
"Alright, then let\'s do this." The producer tapped the cigarette ash. "It\'s almost time. Get ready to record."
Ten minutes later, in the assessment room.
In the lounge, another dance mentor, Lin Qingyan, looked at the empty seat beside her and said. "Teacher Si wouldn\'t really be like what the Internet said... Is she still coming today?"
"It doesn\'t make any difference whether she comes or not." Li Jingchen, the songwriting mentor, had a cold expression. "What can she do even if she is here?"
"Teacher Li, she\'s still young and isn\'t familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry. We have to understand more." Lin Qingyan said.
"Teacher Lin, don\'t explain to her." Li Jingchen looked impatient. "If you don\'t have that kind of EQ, then don\'t stay in the entertainment industry."
Other than Si Fuqing, the other four mentors were all above the age of 25. They were considered seniors in the industry.
Li Jingchen was thirty-two years old this year. He could not stand the current entertainment industry.
Not only did the artiste\'s ability become worse and worse, but they also learned how to use marketing and the Internet step on people. Seeing that Si Fuqing did not even abide by the basic duties of a mentor, he naturally did not have a good impression of her.
"I saw on the Internet that the Zuo family wanted to drive her out." Lin Qingyan furrowed her eyebrows and was quite worried. "If she leaves the Zuo family, won\'t that-"
Her words were interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open.
The girl was wearing an apricot white beige striped shirt and a baroque leather jacket. Her legs were long and straight.
Her face was covered in heavy makeup, which was very exaggerated.
Seeing her enter, Lin Qingyan stopped.
Si Fuqing slowly walked to the empty seat and sat down, ignoring all gazes.
She pulled over the score sheet and played with a pen with her slender fingers.
Indeed, she had never been in the entertainment industry of the Great Xia Empire. She could have some fun.
Lin Qingyan stopped smiling and hesitated for two seconds before she said. "Teacher Si?"
Si Fuqing held her chin with her hand, raised her head slightly, then smiled. "What\'s the matter?"
When she smiled, her fox-like eyes curved into two tiny crescents. It was as if light was flowing, melting the ice and snow in an instant.
Her original appearance could not be seen at all, but just by sitting there and turning her head slightly, she could easily capture everyone\'s attention.
The natural attraction of a king.
"It\'s nothing serious." Lin Qingyan paused for a moment before she smiled again. "It\'s the second class allocation assessment. If Teacher Si really can\'t do it, I actually suggest that you apply to withdraw from the show."
"It\'s better than being humiliated and ridiculed by the entire Internet in the future, right, Teacher Si?"
Lin Qingyan knew very well how bad Si Fuqing\'s ability was.
After working in the entertainment industry for so long, she was deeply aware of the various rules and regulations of the entertainment industry.
Although she was only a mentor on the show, she had competitors too.
"Youth With You" had a total of four mentors, who taught vocal music, songwriting, and dance. However, only the dance was taught by two mentors.
Before the recording of the show, Lin Qingyan was worried that she would be Si Fuqing\'s stepping stone.
Now, she was completely at ease.
In the entertainment industry, Si Fuqing had neither the ability nor the looks. She could not survive at all.
When the show ended, Si Fuqing would be useless.
Si Fuqing glanced at the score sheet that had already been made. She looked nonchalant, and in a unbothered tone, she responded. "Then I\'ll reluctantly comment."
She had specially learned that "Youth With You" was a reality show where 101 trainees selected from all over the country would spend three months in a training camp. In the end, only nine contestants would be able to debut.
The competition was fierce.
Although the second class allocation assessment would not eliminate anyone, the rating would affect the following camera allocations and fan votes.
The trainees were all working hard.
Li Jingchen was so angry that he laughed. He did not want to give Si Fuqing face anymore and said coldly, "What can you comment on? Reluctantly? These trainees are all above you in ability!"
"A dance mentor who doesn\'t even know how to dance!"
He really didn\'t know how Si Fuqing entered the entertainment industry.
"Teacher Li." The vocal coach could not bear to listen anymore. He shook his head and signaled that the assessment was about to begin.
Li Jingchen did not look at Si Fuqing again and looked at the stage expressionlessly.
At 8:30, the first student entered.
He walked onto the stage, bowed, and introduced himself, "Hello, teachers. I\'m Mu Ye, a trainee from Tianle Media. I\'m good at vocal."
When Si Fuqing heard this name, she looked up a bit.
After the injury on her wrist was healed, she wanted to loosen up.
After Mu Ye finished his introduction, he began to perform the theme song of "Youth With You" - "I\'m the King."
The climax of the song had a high vocal range and was very technical in nature. It was easy to differentiate the students \'grades.
It was Si Fuqing\'s first time hearing this song.
Her ears moved and she quickly recognized the pitch and range of each note.
She glanced at Mu Ye\'s dance moves again and wanted to close her eyes and ears.
As expected, they are a bunch of crooked melons and broken dates.
Class A is just this, Class F should just be eliminated.
Is this the current entertainment industry?
After the performance, Mu Ye stood in the center of the stage. He was not reserved and was very confident. "Thank you, teachers."
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Teacher Si, although you\'re from the same company, you can\'t go easy."
Not only the mentors, but the students could also see that Si Fuqing was not favored by Tianle Media. Instead, she was being targeted and attacked everywhere.
Even Mu Ye and Lu Yan, who had yet to debut, could step on her.
When Lin Qingyan thought about how she had treated Si Fuqing as an opponent in the beginning, she felt that this idea was very ridiculous.
Si Fuqing supported her chin and looked at Mu Ye with a smile. "Which class do you think you should be in?"
Mu Ye glanced at her with a hint of contempt, but his expression was still decent. "I think I can stay in Class A."
"Then congratulations." Si Fuqing\'s finger tapped on the score sheet and her voice paused. "F."
If it wasn\'t for the fact that F was the lowest level, she could have sent this junior out of the solar system.
Mu Ye\'s face instantly turned green.
Everyone knew that Class F was the worst class out of the five classes A, B, C, D, F.
In the second class allocation assessment, Class F would not even have the chance to perform the theme song on stage, which greatly reduced the post-production scenes.
If he had less screen time, it would directly affect his popularity. He might even drop out of the top nine.
Mu Ye\'s eyes instantly turned cold.
If Lin Qingyan\'s vocal coach gave him an F, he would be convinced.
Only Si Fuqing was not worthy.
Most importantly, the evaluation was jointly assessed by the mentors. How could Si Fuqing make the decision alone?
"Si Fuqing, you don\'t know how to sing or dance." Mu Ye sneered. "You can\'t even perform the theme song yourself, and you\'re not even a professional vocal coach. What right do you have to give me an F?"
