A certain top student with the surname Bai was extremely bad at peeling prawns.
Half of the poor prawns were peeled off by him. The prawns' bodies were full of holes, and the remaining half was nowhere to be seen.
Qi Xingchen was being fed in front of more than fifty students. His ears instantly changed color. He rubbed his ears and swallowed the first prawn.
Seeing that their instructors were so close, Class D and Class F couldn't help but greet each other and get to know each other.
Qi Xingchen swallowed the second prawn. His face was so hot that he got up from the ground and prepared to wash his face.
He turned the corner and was about to push open the bathroom door when someone walked out. A tall man with a mixed-race face.
It was Kevin.
Kevin glanced at Qi Xingchen and walked away as if he didn't see him. Qi Xingchen naturally didn't want to talk to him. The two of them walked past each other.
After entering the bathroom and washing his face, Qi Xingchen accidentally found two torn books lying in the corner behind the bathroom door.
He walked closer and leaned over.
One was the New Practical Chinese Textbook, and the other was the Chinese Dictionary.
There were eighty-eight trainees, and Kevin was the only ABC. It went without saying who tore the books.
It seemed that Kevin was tortured by Chinese. Qi Xingchen thought for a while and took out his phone to take a picture.
Young men in their twenties were the easiest to get along with. When Qi Xingchen returned to the practice room, Class D and Class F were already chatting enthusiastically.
"Hey, do you think our instructors are a couple?"
"Oh my, you know so much. Stay away from the fans."
"What's there to not know? Our village has been connected to the Internet for a long time! "
"The instructors are here. Don't talk nonsense. Whisper something. I think there must be one. Hahahaha. "
"No, why are you suddenly asking about a couple … I'm telling you, don't be gay!"
"Go away, don't be like me. You think too highly of yourself!"
It was as if more than a thousand cicadas had flown into the practice room. It was noisy. After lunch, Bai Ye saw that the two classes had merged into one class. He decided to train together and come up with a gang policy. It finally felt better.
When it was close to midnight, the students' stamina started to wane. In consideration of tomorrow's classes, Qi Xingchen forced everyone to go back to the dormitory to sleep. The boys then escorted the two of them to the gate.
Just like the Dongcheng Music Festival, 'My Time' was also recorded in Dongcheng TV's City S. The production team booked a hotel for the five mentors, which was about 20 minutes away from the studio.
Bai Ye asked Qi Xingchen, "A Lun is outside. Do you want to take my car?"
Class D&F: "Yo yo yo!"
"… What now!" Qi Xingchen was annoyed by their antics. "Hurry up and go back to the dormitory!"
Wu Qian smiled mischievously. "Alright then, let's go. Teacher Bai, we'll leave Little Teacher Qi to you! "
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
Why did it seem like he was marrying off his daughter?
"Okay." Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry."
The students finally dispersed in a hubbub.
However, Qi Xingchen didn't need Bai Ye to send him back. An Ran and Old Qin were waiting outside. In the end, the two of them got into their respective cars and arrived at the hotel one after another.
Dongcheng did a good job. The five mentors were all treated the same and were all booked in business suites. Qi Xingchen's room number was 2202 and Bai Ye's room number was 2209. Coincidentally, they lived across from each other.
Qi Xingchen swiped his card and entered the room. He leaned against the door and heard the electronic lock open. Knowing that Bai Ye had returned safely, he washed up and went to sleep.
.
With the foundation that Qi Xingchen had laid on the first day, Class F was at least on par with Class A in terms of attitude.
During the morning roll call two days later, all the members of Class D and F arrived on time. However, there were two people from Class B and C who were late. Qi Xingchen wasn't surprised to hear Kevin's name.
It was normal that Kevin couldn't accept being "forced" to attend class with Class B.
Two days of practice passed quickly. Finally, it was time to check the results of the theme song.
There would be no elimination in this round, but there would be a level adjustment based on the students' performance of the theme song.
After this adjustment, the level would be fixed. In other words, the level set by the mentors today would be the same in the future. There would be no changes.
Therefore, in the backstage waiting area, the trainees were very nervous. They were afraid that they would accidentally drop to a lower level.
Soon, the assistant came in with a black box and asked the trainees to draw lots to decide the order of the performance.
The assistant walked up to Kevin and asked curiously, "Kevin, have you learned the Chinese of this song?"
His teammate translated for him. Kevin nodded perfunctorily.
"Great, I'm looking forward to your performance." The assistant watched him draw lots and praised him. Then, he walked to the next trainee.
About half an hour later, the studio was ready. The script clerk arranged for the first trainee to go on stage. The check officially began.
Qi Xingchen was still sitting in the same position as last time. He looked up and saw a familiar face.
Han Qing was unlucky. She drew first place.
But fortunately, Han Qing practiced hard enough. As soon as the prelude sounded, she performed the entire theme song reflexively. Jung Yuyang praised her. "Little Brother Qi's company is full of talents. You don't have any objections, do you?"
The rest of the mentors nodded. Wei Qin snorted.
Han Qing happily walked off the stage.
Unlike the first round of self-selected performances, this round was equivalent to a thesis. The judging was very simple. The trainees quickly went on and off the stage. In the twelfth place, Qi Xingchen saw the brat from Class F.
The brat's hand holding the microphone was shaking. It was unknown whether he was nervous or excited. He shouted into the microphone, "Little Teacher Qi! I won't let you down!!! "
The echo echoed and lingered in the room. Little Teacher Qi was shocked by him.
"Hahahahaha …" Chen Jiayi laughed so hard that she almost cried. "We believe in you. Come, start your performance."
The prelude of the theme song sounded again.
Four minutes later, Chen Jiayi's expression was indescribable. "Little Qi, I think he … is not suitable to be an idol. He should stay in Class F."
"He has a weak foundation. I'll have a word with him."
After that, Qi Xingchen turned to the stage and said slowly, "Keke, congratulations. In only three days, you went from not knowing how to sing or dance to being able to perform an entire dance. It's really amazing. No matter what the result is, I'm proud of your performance today. You are my idol. I also hope you can become your own idol. Continue to work hard, okay? "
"Okay, I will!" Keke sniffed and nodded. "Thank you, Little Teacher Qi. I'm going back to Class F!"
With that, she turned and went backstage without waiting for the result to be announced.
Chen Jiayi couldn't help but tear up.
A hardworking teenager was the most moving.
It was Kevin's turn to perform.
He wasn't as dazed as Han Qing, nor was he as excited as Keke. Instead, he stood on the stage with his chest puffed out and his head raised. He nodded to the sound master, indicating that he was ready to perform.
He didn't say a word and controlled his own stage. This came from his strong confidence in his ability.
The sound master pressed the play button as he wished. After the fifteen-second prelude ended, the teachers' headphones played Chinese lyrics that were not standard, but they could hear the general idea.
After the first chorus, it was time for the rap part. In order to be suitable for many people to sing together, the rap lyrics were extremely simple. Four lines of English were repeated twice.
The simpler it was, the more it reflected the singer's basic skills. Kevin's flow was more advanced than the previous trainees'. Plus, he used his mother tongue, so the timing and pauses were quite accurate.
An authentic American accent lit up the entire stage in an instant!
There was a large LCD screen backstage, so the trainees could watch everything that happened on the stage in real time.
A small trainee sighed. "As expected of Kevin! Resby! He'll definitely be able to return to Class A this time. "
"Of course. Didn't you see Teacher Wei and Teacher Zheng's expressions? One word: satisfied!"
"Kevin originally belonged to Class A, so coming to Class B is considered an incognito visit, okay?"
"Hahaha, f * cking incognito visit … I'm sorry for swearing just now. I'll have to trouble the post-production master to cut this part. Thank you."
Not only the trainees backstage, but Qi Xingchen was also very satisfied. He was happy to see any trainee become outstanding.
However, when it came to the second chorus, he felt that something was wrong.
The second chorus had the same melody as the first chorus, but the lyrics were different. Kevin's Chinese was even more vague, but Qi Xingchen could tell.
He was still singing the lyrics of the first chorus.
He didn't learn the lyrics of the second chorus.
The next two repeated choruses were the same. He tried to muddle through with his unclear pronunciation. After the song, Qi Xingchen and Bai Ye looked at each other at the same time.
Bai Ye's eyes were cold. He was obviously very dissatisfied.
"There's a small flaw in his Chinese. After all, it's only been three days. It's pretty good to learn this." Wei Qin was the first to express his opinion. "I think he can be promoted to Class A. Observer Xing Guang, what do you think?"
Suddenly asked, Qi Xingchen didn't answer Wei Qin. He turned on the microphone and turned to the stage. "Kevin, sing the second chorus again."
The trainees came up alone without teammates. Bai Ye took the initiative to take on the responsibility of translation and passed this sentence to Kevin.
Kevin's arm stiffened for a moment, then he raised the microphone and sang.
There was no accompaniment, so everyone could hear it more clearly.
"This is the lyrics of the first chorus. What about the second?" Qi Xingchen asked.
Kevin straightened his neck. "I only know this part."
"You didn't learn the second part?" Qi Xingchen gave him some leeway.
"No, I thought they were the same. (No, I thought they were the same.)"
Bai Ye frowned and asked Jung Yuyang in a low voice, "Didn't anyone tell him that the two parts are different?"
"Yes." Jung Yuyang was puzzled. "The vocal music teacher taught him sentence by sentence in class. He has a strong sense of language. He must be able to tell the difference … Also, he has a good relationship with his teammates in the company. They couldn't have let him study blindly by himself."
Bai Ye nodded. Kevin didn't want to learn and used his ignorance as an excuse.
But if he insisted that he didn't know, the instructors couldn't do anything about it. After all, they couldn't find a way to verify it.
Ask his teammates? That would make things difficult for his teammates. If his teammates said that they helped, it would be equivalent to announcing that Kevin was lying. The company would scold them.
If his teammates said that they didn't help, they would be attacked by Kevin's fans.
It was a dilemma.
Bai Ye paused. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qi Xingchen with his head down and writing furiously in his notebook.
Qi Xingchen had just finished writing. He tore off the page and held it up.
“This is the English annotation and the Chinese pronunciation of the second chorus，I\'m so sorry for our program don\'t have bilingual teacher for that.
But I can only give you a B-grade if you make mistakes in the theme song acceptance, in all fairness. (This is the English annotation and the Chinese pronunciation of the second chorus. We didn't think about it and didn't find a bilingual teacher for you. I'm very sorry. But now we are accepting the theme song. If you make mistakes, it means that your performance is wrong. I can only give you a B-grade. Sorry.) "
The long string of English pronunciation was perfect and very fluent. Bai Ye's gaze moved to the paper in his hand.
The annotations on it were flamboyant. At a glance, he couldn't find any grammatical or spelling mistakes.
… So the little fan had been using him as a free translator?
Bai Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In the middle of the stage, Kevin was stunned.
A few days ago, he had mocked Qi Xingchen's low education level in the voice-over interview. Now it seemed …
Kevin's face gradually darkened. He could only pretend to be calm in front of the camera. The veins on his neck bulged.
Qi Xingchen asked the stage supervisor to pass the paper to Kevin. He turned to Wei Qin. "Mr. Wei, if you don't take Kevin's mistake into account, what about the trainees?"
Wei Qin choked.
After thirty seconds, he answered, "Kevin, B-grade."
.
No one expected the situation to turn out this way.
Kevin got off the stage and returned backstage. The trainees who didn't want to comfort him went straight to the toilet.
Today was a B-grade, which meant that for the next three months, he would always be a B-grade. The "B" logo stuck on the clothes seemed to symbolize the brand of shame.
"Bang! Bang! "Kevin's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his fist and punched the door twice!
His phone vibrated. It was his agent. Kevin took a deep breath and picked it up.
"I heard that you were a B-grade. What happened? Did you perform poorly?"
Kevin panted even harder now that his sore spot had been poked.
His agent heard the old bellows on the other end of the phone and knew that he was extremely angry.
Kevin was a seedling that the company focused on nurturing. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hired East Orange to manipulate him. His agent didn't have the heart to continue scolding him. "Forget it. Play well and get more screen time. I'll talk to the higher-ups and see if they can change the script for you …"
Backstage, the check on the front stage continued.
In four hours, all eighty-eight trainees finished their performances. Some advanced from low-grade to high-grade, while others dropped from high-grade to low-grade. Some were happy, while others were sad.
After getting off the stage, the first thing Qi Xingchen did was go to the F-grade practice room to find Wu Qian and the others.
The F-grade class went from twenty-nine to twenty-four. Seven had left. One from C-grade and one from D-grade. Overall, it was good news.
He opened the door. Before he could say anything, Wu Qian exclaimed, "Little Master Qi! You were so cool just now! "
Qi Xingchen: "???"
"Although we're trash, we want to compete fairly!" Wu Qian laughed.
… This idiot dared to say anything.
Qi Xingchen's head hurt. He clasped his hands together in front of the camera and said, "Big Sister Post, our class's students don't know what they're talking about.
The cameraman had become familiar with them over the past few days. He said in a high-pitched voice, imitating the female voice of the post-production teacher. "Okay ~"
"Hahahaha …" Everyone in the practice room was amused by him.
After laughing for a while, Wu Qian rubbed his stomach. He knew that he would be eliminated in the next round, so he acted casually. He winked at Qi Xingchen and said, "Little Master Qi, aren't you going to praise us?"
Qi Xingchen said with a straight face, "Just passable. Keep up the good work."
"… Tsk, you don't mean what you say. If you were unhappy, would you have come to us in a hurry? "
Qi Xingchen: "…"
Wu Qian was so annoying!
.
After messing around with Class F for a long time, Qi Xingchen finally returned to the hotel.
Next, the trainees would continue to practice the theme song and dance, and record the music video of the theme song.
This process only required the participation of the initiator, not the mentors. The next recording was in four days, so Jung Yuyang left to catch up with work. Chen Jiayi went home to rest.
Qi Xingchen was going to go home too, but then he thought about it. Bai Ye was here alone … It seemed a little lonely.
He went home like a salted fish. He might be able to improve more if he practiced with the trainees here, so he decided to stay.
Two days after the grading, the first episode of My Time was officially released at eight o 'clock on Friday night.
It only cut to the learning of the theme song, there was no content about the second grading. Since he had nothing to do, Qi Xingchen changed from lying to lying down and opened DongCheng TV's app.
… Because there were too many online viewers, it took ten minutes to get in.
It was time for the mentors to introduce themselves.
Where there was Bai Ye, there was Night Sky. The screen was filled with [Bai Ye's wife is here], [Night Sky Clocked in x80], [Brother Ye is as empty as always], and so on.
There were some other content mixed in:
[Mentor Chen Jiayi is so beautiful and elegant. She is indeed a teacher of CICC.]
[Wei Qin, Wei Qin, you can be my only relative!]
[Ahhh, Stars Base Di is so A-grade. It can be salty and sweet. It's great!]
[Believer thanks DongCheng TV for giving Stars Last Night a chance to combine.]
[Sisters of Night Sky, please don't spam, don't spam, don't spam, don't spam, don't spam, it affects the views of passersby. Thank you for your cooperation.]
Sure enough, the night sky was very disciplined no matter where it went. Qi Xingchen looked down happily.
[Qinqin is wearing a white shirt, Brother Ye is wearing a black shirt. I seem to have discovered something incredible …]
[Did they discuss to wear it together? Hhhhh, I can already imagine a pure love story from Jinjiang!]
[Hehe, when will my family be free of vampires? Isn't it tiring to post this and then post this?]
[Qinqin is Bai Ye's fan and is also Bai Ye's good friend. They are purely friends. Please don't mislead the passersby. Thank you very much.]
Seeing the words "good friend", Qi Xingchen's smile faded for a moment. He got up and went to the fridge to find mineral water.
When he returned, the mentors sat on the mentors' podium. It was time for the trainees' fans to show their skills.
Every time a slightly famous trainee went on stage, the fans would change their tactics to cheer for their child.
When it came to Han Qing, the comments were quieter. Only a few words floated past:
[Huya brother is not bad. I voted.]
[Being in the same company as Observer Xing Guang, there will definitely be an A-level out of the five of them.]
[God Ji Mei prophecy. Observer Xing Guang is protecting him. 2333]
[Look at the red eyes in front. They're dripping blood. His ability isn't A-level? Your boss went to F Class. Did that piss you off?]
When Qi Xingchen spoke up for Han Qing, he had already thought about this. Alright, he sat upright. He had a clear conscience.
When Kevin went on stage, the scene was quite lively. Qi Xingchen took a look. Kevin was now ranked third in the online voting.
After entering the first round of the competition, the trainees' rankings were calculated by the weighting of their score in the competition and the online voting. Now that he was ranked third, it would be difficult for Kevin to fall out of the top six.
Moreover, the appearance and strength he had displayed on the stage had attracted a lot of fans, and the number of votes was rapidly increasing.
Kevin's performance ended. A small portion of the comments were [Ahhhhh] and [I announce that he is my new wall.]
Most of the comments were a single [A]. They were so dense that they even covered Kevin's face.
Qi Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. He thought that he would definitely be scolded.
As expected, when Bai Ye announced the B-level, the comments suddenly changed.
[Are you kidding me? That Han Qing can give an A? If he doesn't give an A, how much did Nuoya bribe him?]
[Look at the face of a certain observer. He's paving the way for his brother.]
[What do you know? This is called keeping the goodies within the family. Hehe.]
[But I think Qi Xingchen is right. He came to our country to participate in a talent show. Didn't he prepare a song in advance? He should be able to memorize one, right?]
Xing Guang wasn't good at arguing. The comment that spoke up for him was quickly brushed away. Qi Xingchen decided to set up a business to appease the fans later. Otherwise, Xing Guang would feel too wronged.
The first rating ended. The progress bar was pulled to the stage of learning the theme song. He didn't expect that the post-production would actually edit the scenes of him training the students of F class and tutoring at night!
He thought that he would be scolded again. To his surprise, the comments were actually quite good.
[QXC can dance so well. Why haven't I seen him dance before? He's an all-rounder.]
[Little Brother Qi is a little handsome when he's angry.]
[F * ck, I actually cried when I saw the entire F class stay. Can you believe it?]
[I believe it. I cried too. QXC is more responsible than I thought. I'm so sorry.]
Qi Xingchen blushed slightly when he saw the screen full of praises.
Then, his blush escalated from a slight blush to an explosive blush.
The scene of Bai Ye peeling prawns for him was actually included in the video!
The Stars from Last Night CP fans who had been quiet for more than two hours couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts anymore.
[Click. Click. See. Bai. Young. Master. Peeling. Prawns.]
[Brother Ye's life skills are crippled, but he tried his best to peel prawns for his wife. Does anyone from Stars from Last Night SZD not believe it?]
[She and her students ate boxed lunches. She leveled up Brother Ye's dinner. Xing Xing is too sweet. Sob sob sob.]
[Hhhh Brother Ye is so cruel. He thinks that the 29 dogs in F class aren't enough to kill, so he brought in another 20 from D class. Will he only be happy if he turns this into a large dog slaughterhouse?]
[Please watch the HD video. I want to go to B glue to produce food.]
If the fans were to ask about the benefits of the Stars from Last Night CP?
The answer would be: Dogs! Food! Care! Enough!
