The next day, Song An-ran moved into Dormitory 101 with her luggage.
She found her room according to the name tag pasted on the door. The other three roommates were Jin Taihe, Yu Lianjing, and Jin Dani.
These three relatives were all B-class. Song An-ran guessed that the dormitory should be according to class. She packed her luggage, said a simple goodbye to her roommates, and went straight to the practice room.
There were already a few girls gathered in the practice room. She put on her hat and clicked on the "pick" video.
She began to practice the dance video.
She had only learned dance for three months, and it was only the basic jazz dance, so a short three-minute dance was a big challenge for her.
Fortunately, she was not a self-deprecating person. Since she was young, she would never choose to avoid something that she was not good at. Instead, she would spend more effort than others to do her best.
When Shōmi Quan finished packing her luggage in the dormitory and went to the practice room, Song An-ran was already sweating profusely from dancing. She noticed that Song An-ran was practicing a left and right hip movement. She seemed to be unable to grasp the main point and kept repeating it in front of the mirror.
Teru suddenly approached An-ran. She put her hand below An-ran's waist, near her buttocks, and said,
"Augny, it's not like that. You have to exert force here and turn left and right."
Song An-ran was shocked by Shōmi Quan's sudden approach. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was teaching her the movement. So, she followed Teru's instructions and did the movement again.
Teru let go of An-ran's waist and gave her a thumbs up.
"Augny, well done."
She watched as the movement that she had been struggling with for a long time was completed smoothly. Song An-ran turned around with admiration in her eyes. She touched the head of the little girl who was taller than her.
"Ah Yigu, wuli Teru, you're really amazing."
The sister whom Teru had just met but liked very much was smiling like a crescent moon and praising her sweetly, which made Teru's heart bloom with joy. No matter where he was, he was always busy. However, due to the fact that they were all competitors, there were very few people who treated him as well as An-ran.
"Ah Ni, I said that I would teach Augny. Leave it to me."
"Nei, please Zhaomi."
Following that, Song An-ran's practice progressed a lot faster. Teru was practicing alone at the side. During the break, Teru would help her correct the flaws in her movements. The two of them trained separately, but from time to time, they would stop to chat. Time passed quickly without them noticing.
Shōmi Quan arrived at the practice room at around 7 pm, while An-ran Quan arrived a little earlier. The two of them practiced intermittently until 11 pm, when most of the trainees had already returned to their dormitory. After all, the instructors would be checking in tomorrow, so they needed to rest up.
However, Song An-ran Quan knew clearly that her current level was not enough to satisfy the instructors. Even though she had already memorized every dance move in her mind, her body still could not perform them coherently.
She understood that only when every muscle in her body had memorized the dance moves could she guarantee that she would not make any mistakes on stage.
Therefore, she practiced over and over again, closing her eyes and emptying her mind. Her body instinctively danced to the music.
Just as Song An-ran Quan was immersed in her practice, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She was startled.
She ran to open the door. It was the staff of 101 who urged her to go back and rest. She hurriedly apologized. When she turned around, she saw that Teru had curled up into a ball and fallen asleep in the corner of the practice room.
She was still a child. Song An-ran Quan Zhen Quan felt that she was cute and funny. She shook her head helplessly. Seeing Teru pouting and her face scrunched up, An-ran Quan Zhen Quan, who was a siscon, could not bear to wake her up.
In the end, she helplessly put Shōmi on her back and carried her back to the dormitory.
This scene was captured by the hidden camera in the practice room and appeared in the highlights. It immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the 5,690 CP fans. They expressed that they had exploded into fireworks and were so happy that they cried.
Song An-ran Quan Zhen Quan was originally quite satisfied with her practice progress. She had memorized every single dance move. Even though she was not outstanding, she did not hold her back.
She believed that she had put in more time and effort than others. However, the next day's teacher review completely destroyed her confidence. She was so ashamed that she could not show her face in front of everyone.
This was also one of the mentors' reviews that she was most unwilling to mention when she recalled 101 after the match. Paradoxically, although this day was full of trauma for her, it was also this training that made her reborn.
"Hey, Song An-ran Quan Zhen Quan, did you not eat breakfast today? Move harder! "
"Why are you the only one who is slow?"
"Song An-ran Quan Zhen Quan Zhen Quan Zhen Quan, move to the side. You are standing in the wrong position."
…
"To be honest, if this continues, half of you will be demoted. Do you understand?"
Song An-ran pretended to have a big heart and looked in the teacher's direction as if nothing had happened. But in reality, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and everything she saw was covered by a layer of mist.
Compared to Jiaxi, most of the contestants in Dance 101 were probably more afraid of the dance instructor, Pei Yunjing. During practice, she was mostly expressionless, and she was merciless when giving her comments.
After the contestants finished their performances, they always waited for her to evaluate them with trepidation. But for the first time, Song An-ran realized that compared to being reprimanded by her, being looked at with disappointment made her feel even more ashamed.
Song Anran's fingernails have been dug into the flesh. She has to hold back the tears in her eyes. This is her habit. She doesn't like to cry in embarrassment in front of the public.
"You know what? Song An-ran! "
When no one answered her, she called out Song An-ran's name in front of everyone in Class B.
"Nei, I got it!"
This was probably the first time in Song An-ran's life that she had been criticized like this. Her life had been smooth since she was a child. Her grades were excellent, and her appearance was outstanding. Even when she arrived at the company, the president and the staff had never said a harsh word to the well-behaved girl.
Song An-ran finally could not help but burst into tears. She did not wipe them away, but let the hot tears flow down her cheeks.
She felt very complicated now. She was like a child who thought she could get full marks, but the results were a failure. She felt wronged and confused, but at the same time, she hated her own incompetence.
Song An-ran felt that she was not as bad as the instructor said, but she clearly understood that the instructor had no reason to target her. She could only blame everything on herself for taking the job of a trainee too lightly.
Before joining Dance 101, she thought that with her unique voice, she could make up for her shortcomings in dancing. Now, she was slapped in the face by reality.
Pei Yunjing glanced at Song An-ran from the corner of her eye. She was standing straight, and her figure was thin.
"Okay, now that you know, go back and continue practicing. I look forward to your results."
"Inside, Kang Sang Hamida."
After the class was dismissed, the trainees of Class B felt relieved. They all lay on the ground as if their bones had scattered.
Song An-ran could clearly feel that she was exhausted. This morning, in order to be able to review a few more times before the review, she had not eaten anything and went to the practice room to practice.
Now, she felt that her head was dizzy, and she could collapse at any time.
She lowered her head and silently walked out of the classroom. She found a quiet stairwell and slowly slid down with her back against the wall. Song An-ran hugged her knees with her hands, buried her head in her arms, and curled herself into a ball. Slowly, her shoulders began to tremble, and the faint sound of sobbing could be heard.
Yu Lianjing, who had followed her out to comfort her, saw this scene and slowly walked to her side. She did not say anything. She only patted her thin and weak shoulders gently with her hand and returned to the practice room.
In the first episode, Song An-ran was well known by all the trainees because of her outstanding appearance and extraordinary vocal skills. Because of her gentle personality, she had always been very popular.
But after all, this was a competition for survival. Friendship was good as long as it was on camera. In private, the only people who were really close to her were Jeon Teru and her roommate, Yu Lianjing.
The sobbing in the stairwell was intermittent, and it took a while before it stopped.
Song An-ran slowly raised her head. Her eyes were clear and bright as if they had been washed by water. In just a few minutes, she thought about a lot of things. Why did she get scolded? Why did she participate in 101? Even, why did she want to debut as an artist?
Unlike many trainees, Song An-ran only became a trainee after she was admitted to university at the age of 18, when she was persuaded by Jin Zhenghuan, who was also her schoolmate, to become a trainee.
Song An-ran had never had any ambition to debut. Her family was well-off and her conditions were outstanding. If she failed to debut in the future, there were countless options for her to choose from. Her ease and ease made her stand out from the other trainees.
Song An-ran suddenly understood why Kim Si-hwan insisted that she participate in 101. He wanted her to think carefully about why she agreed to become a trainee in the first place.
Although she agreed to be a trainee under Kim Si-hwan's persuasion, it was undeniable that she was moved. At that time, there was a voice in the depths of her heart that encouraged her to accept Kim Si-hwan.
After being scolded until her self-esteem was shattered, Song An-ran was finally willing to open up her inner defenses and face her true self. She had always been obedient and sensible, and it seemed that she had never been rebellious. She obeyed her parents' decision to learn the piano. She obeyed her teachers' guidance and successfully entered a famous school. In the eyes of others, her life seemed to be perfect.
But in the dead of night, Song An-ran faced her own heart. She was still unwilling to spend her most precious years so plainly. She wanted to be a star. She wanted everyone to hear her sing. She wanted to be the center of attention.
So, after hesitating, she agreed to Kim Si-hwan's request.
Then, if she could stand on the stage and have everyone's eyes focus on her, she could receive everyone's unreserved love, whether it was through singing or dancing. What was the difference?
Song An-ran's destined life path, from this moment on, finally changed.
Filming highlights:
PD: Pei Yunjing, why do I feel that the trainee Song An-ran is especially strict with her?
Pei Yunjing thought about it and said slowly.
