Chapter 25 Theme Song Assessment

Four mentors plus one sponsor were sitting in the special mentor lounge chatting.

The content of the discussion mostly revolves around the contestants in the program group. After all, everyone is brought together because of this program group. This common topic is also mentioned in the conversation. You can't see it in front of the camera in the show, but in fact, each instructor has already decided on his or her favorite group candidate.

Of course, this is only a current view, and no one can predict how it will develop in the future. Besides, it doesn't make any difference to them who can make a debut and who can't. This view in their hearts is also because they cherish their talents.

The five mentors each expressed their opinions, mentioned the names of several contestants they liked, and analyzed the strengths, weaknesses and development prospects of these girls.

It wasn't until the staff reminded them that the recording was about to start that they stopped talking. They sat upright and let the stylist make the final decision, and then they went to sit in the observation room together.

Bei Jiamu saw that the camera was turned on, so he tilted his head and said, "I don't know how these little girls will perform. I'm really looking forward to today's assessment."

"The staff said that they have been very serious these days, and several girls are still practicing in the practice room early in the morning." Xie Qiurong replied with a smile, "Teacher Yuan just said that Class F might give us a surprise. "

"Surprise?" Bei Jiamu turned his head and looked at Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye nodded, but did not say anything clearly, but replied, "You will know later."

"Okay, let's wait and see later." Bei Jiamu continued, and when he heard the director's voice in the headset, he repeated his words, "Why don't you all talk about these exercises? Whose performance do you most want to see in your life? Let me start by saying that the one I want to see most is Shao Yumeng’s. Her voice is very distinctive and I like her very much.”

"Can I only name one? There are several I want to see! Hey... I think Lin Luyao is very good, and so does Chu Yu..."

Jian Zhiyao lay in the chair, slowly unscrewing the thermos cup that the assistant put into his hand and asked him to take it with him, took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to moisten his throat, and listened to the rest of the chatter.

"Where's Teacher Jian?" Yuan Ye turned his head and looked at Jian Zhiyao who was drinking water. He snatched the words back before he could speak, and joked with an unclear smile, "I can guess it even if Teacher Jian doesn't tell you. Is she your junior sister?"

Your little junior sister.

This sounds too ambiguous.

Jian Zhiyao raised her eyelashes and glanced at Yuan Ye, "Lin Luyao and I belong to the same company. Taking care of her is somewhat what I, as a senior, should do. But no matter how much I do, I just mention her once. Their names are much more helpful to my junior sisters than Teacher Yuan who worked so hard for them. I heard that the one from your company came on the same plane as you."

"It's just a coincidence."

"It seems like it's a coincidence that we stay in the same hotel." Jian Zhiyao nodded with certainty, looking convinced.

"This is arranged by the company, and it's easy to manage even a hotel."

"Um."

Rap instructor Huang Pan looked left and right, and there was no one he could offend. He couldn't help but cry tears of sympathy for himself in his heart. He pointed stiffly at the screen to change the subject and said, "Hey, they're coming in."

In the recording hall, many contestants came in intermittently. Nearly two hundred contestants gathered together. It was a large, dark area. With the addition of the staff, the number of people became even larger.

In the center of the hall, there was a huge wooden staircase with six or seven levels, painted with milky white paint. It seemed that it was for them to sit, rest and watch the assessment.

The increasing steps also prevent people in the front row from blocking those in the back row after sitting down, ensuring that all players can show their faces. Although there are so many people crowded together, even if the camera can capture them, it is almost impossible to tell who is who without a close-up.

There are still about twenty minutes before the time set by the program team, and the cameras in the recording hall have been set up to start recording. Five cameras were set up in parallel facing the wooden steps, seemingly for exclusive direct photography.

After the time was up, there were no traces of the instructors. The positions had been designated according to the preliminary stage rating results, and the trainees who had been seated were whispering to each other and chatting in low voices.

The staff stepped forward and began to explain to everyone that the instructors were now in the observation room, and their performance would be transmitted in real time through the lens of the camera to facilitate their rating.

In the theme song assessment session, a group of five performs, and one person from each class is selected each time. If there are not enough people in a certain class, contestants from other classes will fill the place.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Players from five classes are presented in front of you at the same time. After comparison, it is clear at a glance whose movements are not in place, whose rhythm is wrong, and whose expression is well managed.

It was simply a public execution.

Naturally, those who do well are not afraid of being watched, but for those who are not strong enough, they will inevitably feel nervous and flustered when performing in such an environment. Next to them there is someone who performs better than themselves in every aspect, and their mentality will inevitably be unbalanced. This leads to more stiff and ugly expressions and movements, forming a vicious cycle.

Jiang Ran had already expected this rule and did not show too much surprise when he heard this. The other trainees exclaimed, whether they were happy or sad.

A group of five people took the assessment. The theme song "Dream Girl" lasted for three minutes and 42 seconds. It would take three hours to dance it alone. It was estimated that after the assessment, they would have dinner.

Jiang Ran was sitting in Class C, and her mind began to think about what to eat in the cafeteria tonight. She thought in her heart and said it unconsciously.

"????"

How long has it been since you started thinking about eating? Why didn’t I eat you to death?

Besides, I had just finished my lunch, and I was thinking about eating it again.

Are you a loser? Besides eating, you still eat! ! !

The young lady sitting next to Jiang Ran couldn't help rolling her eyes at Jiang Ran, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart, "This face is really a waste. But it was just a vase that was worthless."

The big-hearted Jiang Ran didn't notice the eyes of the people next to her at all. She was still immersed in her own thoughts, thinking about what to eat at night.

After the staff explained the rules clearly, they went back. The assistant director said, "The assessment begins, and the order of assessment is determined by yourself." Then there was no further explanation. The remaining trainees looked at each other with inexplicable expressions. Then he turned around and glared at the director.

Don't force yourself to take the lead.

Jiang Ran pursed her lips and said nothing. She had no intention of being the first to rush forward and curled up into a ball. The other trainees were also quiet, wanting to wait and see how others performed before making any plans. Especially since there are only nine people in Class A, it won't be too ugly in comparison if they go up after a few people in Class A have finished dancing.

"I'll do it." Lin Luyao from Class A was the first to raise her hands and stand up. She walked slowly and leisurely to the assessment area and stood still amidst the admiring applause of other trainees.

Seeing Lin Luyao going up, a few trainees from other classes who were ready to move retreated back. But some people rose to the challenge, and soon there was one person from each class, and the first group of contestants were already in place.

After the assessment begins, the performance is basically as expected. Occasionally, an unexpected performance will appear.

Everyone in Class A and Class B can jump completely, and they can also use expression management, and their performance is very good. Especially the people in Class A, they pay great attention to details. There are about a dozen trainees in Class B who perform very well. Compared with several players in Class A, they are even slightly ahead of them.

Only a few people from other classes could jump down completely, and the performance of some people in Class F was even more disastrous. The completion rate was less than 60%, and some collapsed while jumping and stood still.

After more than half of the people were assessed, Jiang Ran felt that it was almost done before taking the stage.

Before the chorus, she could dance with ease, but as the tempo accelerated and entered the chorus, Jiang Ran struggled to dance. In the vocal part, she had to take a breath before singing a few words. What's even worse is that her brain is completely blank at this moment, and all the training she has done in the past is completely forgotten.

What's the next move? !

Jiang Ran's mind went blank. She couldn't help but turn her head and use her peripheral vision to glance at the dance moves of the trainees next to her. She copied them slowly to demonstrate. She still couldn't do the moves properly. She became more and more panicked, and the expression on her face became more and more confused. The uglier it gets.

Despite this, Jiang Ran did not stop.

There is no word "give up" in her dictionary.

When she was in school, even if she didn't know a question, she would find a way to fill it in without leaving any blanks. She couldn't give up without any struggle, although sometimes her struggle would only make her die faster.

Jiang Ran gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

Xie Qiurong saw the change in Jiang Ran's eyes and said, "Her eyes are looking at the actions of the person next to her."

"The breath is also unstable," Huang Pan frowned, "there was almost no sound during the rap."

"She was able to jump down only by holding her in one breath. Look at her expression, it's so interesting..." It was as if she could talk, expressing all her mental activities.

Jian Zhiyao watched the whole process with an expressionless face, the corners of his lips pursed tighter and tighter, and finally couldn't help but close his eyes. If he had known she was at this level, he felt that the Class C rating he gave her was too overestimating her.

At the end of the song, Jiang Ran gasped for breath, pulled the corners of her lips with a very stiff face, made the final ending gesture, and then collapsed instantly. He was silent for a few seconds and thought about the possibility of digging a hole in the ground to escape. It was really embarrassing.

Jiang Ran took a deep breath and bowed deeply toward the camera, "I'm sorry."

Letting you watch such a rubbish performance really stains your eyes.
