"Hey, do you think the number 24 has something to do with it? The clothes the service team gave him look good."

"I don't know, don't talk nonsense."

"But his clothes are really good-looking, white shirt and black suit, so exquisite. Oh, and the one just now, I didn't recognize the full name, and his black shirt is also good-looking."

"Gu Sihuan."

"Oh yes, what is his background?"

"W was a trainee for two years, and signed to Li Ziping this spring."

"I'll go, Li Ziping has golden wrists, tsk tsk, everyone really has a background."

In the noisy backstage, there are people coming and going in the dressing room and dressing room, with pairs of eyes with novelty, and various voices heard when the curtains are closed.

Gu Sihuan wondered if this was the case behind all the stages.But this is his first stage, his first time facing the camera, his first show.He has to take it seriously.

He heard the voices talking about him from the next door, and looked at the mirror with those black eyes, a little at a loss.

In fact, he doesn't think his black shirt looks good, or that the shirt is a good shirt, but he is too thin, his shoulders are not wide enough, and he is too delicate, making him look like a little girl.

Suddenly there was a familiar sound of footsteps outside, Gu Sihuan shuddered and subconsciously leaned against the wall.

Li Ziping knocked on the door, but seeing that the door was not securely locked, he opened it and walked in.He glanced at Gu Sihuan and nodded, "It's not bad, what are you doing in there for so long? Others are scrambling to get familiar with the stage, so you appreciate yourself inside?"

Gu Sihuan bit her lip subconsciously, "No."

Li Ziping frowned, "Don't bite your lips, the teacher of manners has told you many times, you are not tall enough, you can easily be criticized as a girl, if you bite your lips again, you will attract even more insults."

"Oh." Gu Sihuan immediately let go, "I'm sorry, Brother Ziping."

Li Ziping sighed for a long time, unscrewed the mineral water and handed it to him, "Don't be nervous, it's actually just a talent show." While talking, he glanced back outside, pushed the door of the locker room tightly, and lowered his voice, "Our company actually didn't take this show as a big deal. Lisa didn't even talk about the finals quota with the organizer, let alone talk about resource replacement. You can take part in it easily, and it's best to leave a slightly better impression on the audience. Impression, just don’t recruit gangsters at all. The road paved by the company is behind, understand?”

It's not the first time that Li Ziping said something similar, but Gu Sihuan still felt the stone in his heart loosen again after hearing this. He took a deep breath, "Thank you, Brother Ziping."

Li Ziping waved his hand, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "There are still 10 minutes to start the recording of the initial rating. Again, don't be nervous. The company doesn't plan to buy you a ranking, but if you make any mistakes, you can pay a small fee to let me know." It’s okay for the program to edit it out.”

"it is good."

"Then you get ready first, I'll go ahead and take a look, this crap show has sold out a lot, who is the last mysterious mentor..." Li Ziping pushed the door and walked out while muttering.

Gu Sihuan looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to sign Li Ziping was probably the luckiest thing in the first half of his life.Three years ago, there was a legend in the entertainment industry. That person was spotted by the famous director Jiang Qiao when he first debuted. If you can bear more, it is a smash hit.

Many people have been in the circle for more than ten years and can't touch the real brilliance of this circle, but that person seemed to have chewed through all the fun and brilliant parts of the circle after debuting for a year, and then waved his sleeves and left in a very chic way up.

That person's name was Tang Xiu, a name that made one's blood boil after hearing it.And Li Ziping was the manager who dug Tang Xiu out of his grassroots status.

After Tang Xiu retired from the circle, Li Ziping hadn't signed a newcomer for two years, but this time, he caught his eye...

Gu Sihuan looked at himself in the mirror, it seemed that no matter in terms of temperament or appearance, he could not compare with the peerless elegance of that person back then...

"The recording will start 5 minutes after the initial rating stage, please come to the studio."

The sudden sound of the radio made Gu Sihuan panic for a moment. He stabilized his mind, glanced at the number 9 on his waist, and said softly, "Come on."

After thinking about it, he shook his head and added, "Just don't be ashamed."

"Or, just don't be too embarrassing."

The studio was more scary than Gu Sihuan imagined.The contestants sat in a row, all kinds of high-end male models' plastic surgery faces made people's eyes hurt, Gu Sihuan swallowed and spit, stood at the exit of the passage and hesitated for a while, until someone behind him patted him and reminded him kindly : "You are No. [-], so you are on the far right in the first row."

"Oh." Gu Sihuan immediately bowed thirty degrees to thank him, and when he looked up, he found that his position was indeed in the corner.

Inexplicably feel very relieved.

Gu Sihuan felt that she was always floating.

The recording of the show has already started, and the people around him began to get acquainted quickly, but he shrank in his shell, and when someone came to say hello, he tried his best to smile.

The man said, "Hello!"

Gu Sihuan, "Hi."

The man said, "You are No. [-]! Your name is Gu Sihuan? Haha, what a cute name, my name is Wang Shuwei."

Gu Sihuan, "Thank you, your name is also very cute."

The man froze for a moment, "Haha, actually, I don't think my name is cute."

"..."

Gu Sihuan wanted to beat himself to death.

He turned around and saw Li Ziping standing in the dark, Li Ziping's face was screwed together, he looked like he was looking at a bucket of uncooked instant noodles.

Gu Sihuan sighed heavily.

There are about [-] trainees in the company who are qualified to debut, what does Li Ziping like in him?

Just thinking about it, the host has already started to introduce the tutor.There are six vocal music instructors and dance instructors in total, and they are not low-ranking. Gu Sihuan had heard the explanation from Lisa, the artist director of the company, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but just listened to each sentence.

Until the host suddenly paused.

"The last mysterious mentor, now reveal the answer."

All of a sudden the audience fell silent, and there were footsteps coming from the other end of the aisle.Not too fast or slow, stepping on people's heartbeats.

Gu Sihuan suddenly had a magical premonition.He stared at the exit of the passage without blinking, until a tall man appeared in everyone's sight.

Jiangqiao.

There was an uproar.

The host said in a somewhat smug tone: "That's right, Director Jiang Qiao will join "Vitality Idol" as a mentor who considers all aspects comprehensively, everyone must be serious!"

The applause was about to explode, and the students exchanged understanding glances one by one.

This is a talent show, a famous director joined the mentor camp, what does that mean?

If you perform well, you are very likely to be selected for the crew. No matter what the result of the audition is, being able to be in Jiangqiao's play is a good thing that can wake up from a dream.

Jiang Qiao looked the same as before in the media, serious and cold.He took the host's microphone, looked around the contestants with no expression on his face, and said, "Hello everyone, it's a great honor to be invited to be one of the mentors of "Vitality Idol", and I hope you will go all out in the upcoming competition , don’t forget the original intention.”

There was no bright spot in the speech, but it got the loudest applause from the audience.Gu Sihuan also clapped vigorously, making his palms hurt a little, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He felt that he was wishful thinking, who else could be favored by Jiang Qiao, except for the legend?

The contestants began to perform on stage one by one according to the randomly arranged numbers.The instructors are very strict. If there is a slight error in movement and pitch, they will be stopped directly. From number one to number six, no one has completed the performance completely.

No. [-] had completed the entire stage, but was told by the vocal teacher that singing was too tight, and by the dance teacher that he couldn't let go. Jiang Qiao didn't even give a comment. He discussed it with a few instructors and directly showed a "C".

Eighth came to the stage nervously, and Gu Sihuan felt that he was about to die.

He started learning dance at the age of eight, and he has never given up on it for so many years. During the two years since he signed W and became a trainee, he has been practicing in the training room from dawn to dusk.In fact, his dancing skills are actually quite solid, but his vocal music is really mediocre. Being able to not lose his voice is the greatest achievement. He doesn’t know any of those gorgeous voice-transforming skills. The only thing that can be said to be a plus is his voice. Li Ziping said that he His voice seems to be covered with a layer of fog, it is very distinctive, and it is very comfortable to listen to.

After No. [-] got the first "C" in the audience, No. [-]'s evaluation fell back to "F".No. [-] is a cute boy. He was at a loss when criticized by several tutors on stage.

Gu Sihuan took a deep breath, only a magical lyrics in his mind.

—a hard shot in my heart, and it all ends with a bang.

Jiang Qiao didn't comment on No. [-] either. When No. [-] stepped down, he turned to the next page and casually said, "Next, Gu Sihuan."

The players around looked over and whispered cheers.Gu Sihuan forced a smile, stood up with a blank mind, and walked onto the stage stiffly against the gaze of hundreds of eyes behind him.

It wasn't until he stood on this stage that he realized how scary this stage was.Several mentors lined up in a line, with a collective expressionless face.The hundred or so players behind were also looking at him, although they were all smiling, but the fool could also feel that those friendships were not pure.

The first few players introduced themselves very long, but the instructors did not give any response, and even one person was asked by the instructor to start quickly after speaking for more than half a minute.

Gu Sihuan felt that he was not good at speaking and being funny, so he should hurry up and go back after Ling Chiwan.So he calmed down and bowed deeply, "Hi, mentors, I am number nine, Gu Sihuan, selected by W Entertainment Group."

None of the tutors spoke. Jiang Qiao smiled politely and said hello, then looked down at the materials.

When the music started, Gu Sihuan began to dance reflexively by relying on the muscle memory formed by practicing hundreds of times.

In fact, he was not as nervous as he was when he was on stage. The dance instructor had a lot of eye contact with him. The vocal instructor nodded to help him beat. When there was a problem with a few small pitches, she also comforted him with a smile. .

Jiang Qiao, on the other hand, kept looking at him without expression, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Four and a half minutes is not long, nor is it short.When the music stopped, Gu Sihuan subconsciously wanted to bite his lip, but suddenly remembered that this action was forbidden, so he immediately raised the microphone to cover up his subconscious little action, and said, "My performance is over, thank you instructors."

He frantically brushed the barrage in his heart.

But ask for a D.

But ask for a D.

But ask for a D.

The vocal instructor and dance instructor were discussing in low voices, but Jiang Qiao, who had been expressionless all the time, suddenly smiled and picked up the microphone, "Although I am an amateur, I think it is okay from the perspective of the audience. Your appearance It’s quite personal, it doesn’t look harsh, and it’s quite comfortable.”

There was already a sound of wow off the court, Gu Sihuan was stunned, forgot to bow and say thank you for a moment, just stood there and looked at Jiang Qiao so stupidly.

Jiang Qiao lowered his head and flipped through his profile again, and suddenly exclaimed, "Are you Li Ziping's artist?"

Gu Sihuan felt as if he had been stabbed by something, and he was unwilling to admit it in every possible way, but he still had to nod, "Yes."

He was actually afraid of hearing comparisons.

Since Li Ziping signed him last month, he has been verbally abused too many times in the company's trainee circle and even the new artist circle.After all, there is no comparison between him and that person.

However, Jiang Qiao nodded and said with a smile, "Li Ziping's vision is fine. He has brought an artist before, and I like it very much. I can look forward to your growth and performance in the future."

Gu Sihuan couldn't turn his head around anymore, he bowed dizzily, "Thank you teacher."

The dance instructor next to him supported the microphone, "I can feel that your dancing skills are very solid, and the basic skills are very solid. This song has many difficult moves. If you jump down and talk directly without breathing, it means that your physical fitness is also passed. Maybe The only shortcoming is the expression, I think you are a little nervous, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the typhoon."

Gu Sihuan's brain couldn't turn at all, he adjusted his direction and bowed again, "Thank you teacher."

Several mentors discussed for a while, Gu Sihuan stood there and looked up, the players sitting on it looked at him differently, with meaningful and envious eyes.

"Okay." Jiang Qiao looked at him, "Gu Sihuan, the final rating—"

Gu Sihuan pursed her lips subconsciously.

"B."

Jiang Qiao paused and added, "I don't know if you will feel a little frustrated, but I personally feel that you can work harder on your expressiveness and try to cultivate your self-confidence, which will help you become an idol."

Gu Sihuan thought, frustrated?It doesn't exist, I'm so satisfied that I want to cry, okay?

So he suppressed the barrage in his heart and bowed again, "Thank you teacher."

Jiang Qiao hummed, "Come on."
