The two instructors had different opinions on the trainee ratings. This was a major point of interest. Smelling gunpowder on the instructors' podium, the two cameras were aimed at Qi Xingchen and Wei Qin's faces.
From left to right on the instructors' podium were Qi Xingchen, Chen Jiayi, Bai Ye, Jung Yuyang, and Wei Qin. Separated by two people and the camera, Qi Xingchen tried hard to maintain his expression.
Faced with such a situation, he knew the best way to deal with it was to follow Wei Qin's opinion.
First of all, there were specializations. As a dance instructor with more than ten years of experience, Wei Qin's doubts about Han Qing's dance were very persuasive.
Second, if he spoke, the audience would definitely question him when the show was broadcast.
What was Nuoya Entertainment? It was Xing Guang's company. Whenever Xing Guang's observer spoke for Nuoya's people, there was a possibility that he had something to hide.
Even if there were so many people staring at him.
But he didn't want to follow Wei Qin's advice.
He had a clear conscience about his ratings just now. He had watched Cheng's performance from a bystander's point of view. He had even recorded the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee. Han Qing was worthy of an A or A- grade.
"I think …" Qi Xingchen's tone was very polite. "If we judge the contestants' dance level based on this, isn't it comprehensive enough?"
"They are a team. The team will analyze everyone's abilities and then assign roles. Since the part assigned to No. 3 is a relatively simple one, it is enough to show that he does not have much of an advantage in dancing. And 'Time' is looking for an all-rounded idol. "Wei Qin was very clear.
After the instructors turned off their microphones, the trainees below the stage couldn't hear what they were saying, but they could see that the atmosphere between the two was not very harmonious. Han Qing was sweating.
At this time, Bai Ye interrupted, "Since there are objections, let No. 3 dance again. Choose a more difficult move, okay?"
"Yes, yes, let's dance again." Jung Yuyang helped to smooth things over.
Qi Xingchen and Wei Qin nodded in agreement, but Qi Xingchen was not afraid at all.
He was well aware of Han Qing's dancing ability. Moreover, before they came, they had undergone a month of devilish training together. She had improved a lot.
Sure enough, Han Qing did a good job. Accompanied by the music teacher's random music, she performed a dance that she was good at.
He was a little nervous to be pulled out for a solo performance, but among the trainees who had already appeared, he was able to stand at the front.
In the end, Nuoya got two As, one B, one C, and one D.
The strength of the trainees that followed was uneven. There were a few times when everyone had different opinions. For example, a contestant with a strong vocal but average dancing skills, or a contestant with a strong dance but weak in other aspects, as Xing Guang's observer, Qi Xingchen cautiously gave them an A grade and dealt with the rest with a B grade.
After they finished learning the theme song, there would be a second grade assessment. At that time, they would be able to adjust the class according to the contestant's performance in the theme song.
Gradually, the sky became darker and darker. The mentors, who had been in a tense state, became more and more tired.
Twice, Qi Xingchen could not sit still due to the pain in his back. He secretly twisted left and right, but when he saw from the corner of his eye that Bai Ye was still sitting upright, he straightened back up.
In the third last and second group, the remaining two "magnanimous" trainees went on stage one after another.
The one in the third last group was as good as the individual A trainee. He was strong and had obtained an A grade on his own.
However, the one in the second last group, Qi Xingchen, was a little hesitant.
His name was Kevin, and he was a trainee under C Entertainment's China branch.
C Entertainment's headquarters was in South Korea. Kevin was a Chinese-American who had been selected by C Entertainment's headquarters in the United States. Due to his good looks and skills, he had many fans even before he debuted.
In short, Kevin grew up in the United States, trained in South Korea, and was sent to China to compete. C Entertainment probably saw a gap in China's idol market and wanted to take advantage of his Chinese-American identity and his fan base to get a share of the pie.
C Entertainment had selected a total of three trainees this time. The other two were Chinese, and their performance just now was not very outstanding.
Only Kevin's dazzling "Breaking" and the original American underground rap supported this performance.
Anyone with eyes would be able to tell that he was a red flower that was being set off.
But what made Qi Xingchen feel conflicted was …
"Kevin," Qi Xingchen turned on the microphone. "Can you sing another song, or show us your Chinese rap?"
His teammates next to him whispered in Kevin's ear. Soon, Kevin stammered, "I'm sorry, I only know a little simple Chinese."
"You've never practiced Chinese songs before?" Qi Xingchen asked.
Even if he did not know Chinese, he could still sing one or two songs in transliteration.
Kevin looked troubled. He said in English that he really did not know Chinese songs, and then sang an English song.
His voice and range were average, but his intonation was okay. It was obvious that the company had positioned him as a rapper and a main dancer.
Bai Ye turned off the microphone and asked, "What grade does everyone think?"
Chen Jiayi: "Image and performance are very good. I want to give him an A."
Jung Yuyang: "His rap is explosive. The rhythm is very good. I can tell even though I don't rap. I also want to give him an A."
Wei Qin: "An A. His dancing is in the top five of all the trainees."
"But he doesn't know Chinese. That's a big problem."
Qi Xingchen thought for a moment. "'Time' is looking for a trainee who can lead our country into the era of idols. If he doesn't know Chinese, the songs for the next segment can't all be English raps. What should we do then? "
And there was one thing that Qi Xingchen did not mention.
He knew that he was going to compete, but he did not prepare a single Chinese song. He could not even understand simple Chinese.
Obviously, his attitude was very casual and he did not care about this show.
"So," Qi Xingchen continued, "I'm inclined to give him a B first. After watching his performance, I'll adjust the grade flexibly."
Chen Jiayi and Jung Yuyang heard this and fell into a dilemma. Wei Qin saw that they were silent and retorted, "The theme song is in Chinese. Kevin has to learn it. Since the result is the same, why wait for an A next time? "
"So my conditions are not harsh. As long as he can learn the Chinese theme song seriously, he can return to Class A." Qi Xingchen did not give in at all.
The two of them were at each other's throats for the second time that day. The chief director was so happy that he almost exploded.
Where could he find such good material and such a good show?!
The studio fell into a stalemate. Other than the "buzz" of the machine, no other sound could be heard.
Half a minute later, Bai Ye was the first to break the silence.
"Everyone has a point, but I want to observe Kevin's attitude," Bai Ye said calmly. "I agree with Observer Xing Guang's opinion."
Chen Jiayi and Jung Yuyang both made an "OK" gesture.
Wei Qin lowered his head. His face was dark.
.
Bai Ye announced that Kevin's grade was B.
When he heard the result, Kevin could not believe it. He forgot to bow and turned around to walk backstage!
His teammates who were left behind bowed and thanked him before hurriedly chasing after him.
The last group of trainees did not cause any trouble. The mentors' part of the day was successfully completed. The director held a small meeting with the mentors as usual. After that, Bai Ye and the others left one after another.
The trainees could not leave. They changed into uniforms that belonged to their grade and conducted their first voice-over interview.
The content of the interview was nothing more than whether they were satisfied with their own performance, whether they were satisfied with the mentors' grades, which opponents they were more concerned about, how far they felt they could go, and so on.
When the interview came to Director A, he smiled and said, "I'm most curious about Kevin's grade. A long time ago, I saw his Rap video on Facebook. He was really, really good. When I found out that he was coming before the competition, I thought I was doomed. "
Assistant Director: "Then what do you think is the difference between him and A."
Director A waved his hand. "I can't guess. He has no flaws."
When it was Han Qing's turn, he showed his canine teeth. "I think everyone is very strong, including my seniors and juniors from the same company. I just hope that I can stay for a few more rounds. I don't want anything else."
Assistant Director: "I'm very curious about the role distribution in your team. Why are you at the bottom for every lift?"
Han Qing made a Popeye pose. "Because I'm strong and can lift!"
The assistant director laughed heartily. After laughing, Han Qing explained, "Actually, it's Little Five. His throat has been inflamed recently and he can't sing high notes. We decided to give him the most outstanding part of the dance. We can't let anyone fall behind. "
When it was Kevin's turn, he seemed to calm down a lot. He said to the camera, "I was too impulsive today and forgot to thank the mentors. Sorry."
"Okay, I believe the mentors will receive your apology."
The program team changed to an English-speaking editor. "Do you accept the grade now?"
"No, I think that people have to be real. I don't want to force myself to accept it." Kevin shrugged. "My fans know my ability. I believe you will also know on the next stage."
Editor: "Then can you guess what made the mentors unhappy?"
Kevin: "Cultural differences. I just checked Teacher Qi's information. He didn't go to university, so he might not be able to accept the latest underground culture in America. "
When he finished his performance, only Qi Xingchen had communicated with him, so he could guess that Qi Xingchen had demoted him.
This sentence was very explicit, mocking Qi Xingchen's lack of education and inability to understand English.
The editor was stunned.
He really dared to say it.
But the more he was like this, the easier it was for him to get attention among a group of people who adhered to the concept of "you're good, I'm good, everyone is good."
And after this interview was broadcast, Qi Xingchen would have to consider it thoroughly when he judged Kevin again. Otherwise, if he made the slightest mistake, he would be criticized for taking revenge.
It felt good and made his opponent feel constrained. His response was quite good.
.
The second recording was in the practice room, so it was not suitable for a formal style. The stylist, Jiang Jiang, loosened Qi Xingchen's hair and changed into a black Louis Vuitton sportswear. His long legs were amazing, and his body proportions were excellent.
The other mentors' outfits were similar. When all the trainees arrived, the group entered the large classroom.
Bai Ye took out the cue card. "Your next task is to learn the theme song in different classes. The time limit is three days. After three days, we will check your results one by one. "
"What? Three days? Learn the whole song, the whole dance? "
"Isn't time too short?!"
There was a commotion among the trainees.
Bai Ye had expected this. He put down the cue card and glanced at them coldly. "Is three days short?"
"… Short," four or five trainees answered in a low voice.
"Okay, Xing Xing, help me get my clothes."
Bai Ye took off his sportswear jacket and threw it to Qi Xingchen. He used his phone to find the accompaniment of the theme song and played it at the highest volume.
Then, he followed the accompaniment and performed the theme song in its entirety!
The lyrics, the intonation, the rhythm, the dance steps, the positioning … There were no flaws.
The large classroom was suddenly filled with applause!
Bai Ye was slightly out of breath. After adjusting his breathing, he said, "This is the result of three hours of practice when I returned home from recording the show last night. You've already extended it to three days and 72 hours. Can't you complete it? "
The trainees could only brace themselves and shout, "We can complete it!"
After listening to the process, the trainees returned to their practice rooms according to their levels.
There were five groups in A-F and five practice rooms. The program team required each instructor to be in charge of one practice room.
There were specialized teachers teaching dance and vocal music, so they did not need to do it personally. It was just for show.
Bai Ye thought for a moment. "Teacher Chen will go to Class A, Teacher Zheng will go to Class B. The remaining three classes will be divided into three groups."
Class A and Class B had a high average level and were more convenient. They were suitable for Chen Jiayi, who did not know anything, and Jung Yuyang, who only knew how to sing.
The two of them left happily. Bai Ye turned his gaze to Qi Xingchen.
As if their brainwaves collided, Qi Xingchen immediately understood what he meant.
He wanted him to go to Class C!
Just now, Bai Ye had asked him to take the jacket. It was almost announcing to the contestants and the audience that they had a good relationship. If Bai Ye assigned Class C to him now, he would inevitably be criticized for being biased.
He quickly said, "I want to go to Class F!"
"…" Bai Ye frowned slightly. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. I'm leaving!"
Without giving Bai Ye a chance to regret, Qi Xingchen ran away with a whoosh.
Bai Ye gave Class C to Wei Qin and went to Class D.
Pushing open the door of Class F's practice room, the dance teacher was warming up with the students. Class F had the most people, and a wave of heat hit him in the face.
Qi Xingchen sent a message to An Ran: [Go to the ice shop to pack 60 slices of ice cream.]
An Ran: [Roger that!]
After warming up, it was time for formal learning. Perhaps because Qi Xingchen was young and looked gentle, the students were not afraid of him. They stood apart and talked and laughed.
The students in the front row were fine, but the students in the back row could not hear the teacher's voice. Qi Xingchen could not stand it anymore and clapped his hands hard. "Be quiet! Focus on class! "
"… Oh." A few people answered. The classroom was quiet for a while.
Qi Xingchen could feel that there was some dissatisfaction in that "oh".
The cameraman pointed the camera at Qi Xingchen.
Two hours later, An Ran and the ice shop's young man came in with the slices. Some were distributed to the teachers and students of Class F, some were distributed to the staff of the program, and three were distributed to Wei Qin, Chen Jiayi, and Jung Yuyang.
Qi Xingchen grabbed a portion and stood up, preparing to deliver it to Bai Ye himself.
Before she could leave, Bai Ye came by himself.
"You came at the right time. I have something for you." Qi Xingchen handed over the ice cream box.
Bai Ye paused and couldn't help but laugh after taking it. "I happen to have something for you too."
The next second, a bottle of milk appeared in Qi Xingchen's hand.
One bottle yesterday and one today. Qi Xingchen did not understand why Bai Ye liked to milk him so much. He tilted his head. "Do you think I like to drink milk?"
"Yes." Bai Ye said matter-of-factly. "You drank 250ml in one go last time. I was afraid you would choke."
Qi Xingchen: "… Okay."
Bai Ye had his own class to take care of, so he went home after delivering the milk. After Class F finished their slices, they studied for about 40 minutes. The bell rang and it was lunchtime.
The program team of "Time" provided lunch for the students. If the teachers wanted to eat here, they could eat here. If not, they could eat outside. They could go back to their seats before the afternoon recording.
The five teachers met and discussed. They all wanted to know if the students ate well. They asked for the location and went to the cafeteria.
As soon as they stepped into the cafeteria, they were surrounded by the students. After chatting for a while, the director was afraid that the delicate teachers would be hungry, so he signaled the students to go back to eat.
The students reluctantly dispersed. Only then did Chen Jiayi pull everyone to the front of the vegetable rack.
Each of them had a plate and could take their favorite dishes. There was a wide variety of dishes and the nutrition was reasonable.
After the five of them took the dishes, the desserts were placed on the last shelf.
[Today's Provision: Red Bean Double Skin Milk, Ginger Milk]
Qi Xingchen's scalp went numb … Why was it milk again?
Chen Jiayi chose the double skin milk. Bai Ye did not like desserts, so he did not take it.
Jung Yuyang called out to his brothers. "Qi, Wei Qin, what do you want?"
"I want ginger milk."
"Xing Xing does not eat ginger milk."
Wei Qin and Bai Ye's voices sounded at the same time. Qi Xingchen opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he choked.
Jung Yuyang was stunned for a few seconds. He picked up a bowl of ginger milk and gave it to Wei Qin.
Bai Ye looked at Jung Yuyang's curious face and explained, "Xing Xing does not drink ginger milk. He will have a nosebleed."
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Qi Xingchen: Sabernine oxygen.jpg
… Why do you keep exposing my secret!
