Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

"Well, please do the dance you practiced before. Let me see it."

As soon as Zhang Yixing finished speaking, several girls posed, ready to be tested.

Oda covered her mouth and said, "They got into the mood so quickly. They were nervous one second and turned into cool girls the next."

As the music started, the girls from DNA began to rap and dance.

During the whole period, Li Cheng's brows were furrowed and his face was solemn. Although he didn't understand the stage, the shortcomings of these girls were obvious, and their vocals were a bit poor.

'Pap-pap-pap-pap'

The three of them applauded when the music ended.

Zhang Yixing also started to comment.

The girls listened very carefully.

"Cheng Cheng, what do you think?"

Zhang Yixing threw the question to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng tilted his head, not looking at the group of girls, but looking at Zhang Yixing and asked, "Brother, don't you feel like something is missing?"

When the girls heard Li Cheng's words, their hearts jumped into their throats.

"Don't make me guess. Just tell me what you think. They are still in the preparation stage."

Zhang Yixing didn't expect Li Cheng to start playing these games, so they should just say whatever they want to say, without beating around the bush.

Oda also showed a curious look. She felt that these girls performed very well, were very confident, and danced very well.

Li Cheng looked at the group of girls, raised his hand and asked, "Who among you has the best vocal?"

The girls looked at each other, and no one raised their hands.

Zhang Yixing smiled and shook his head, knowing what Li Cheng meant, and said, "They mainly practiced dancing before, and they all like rap."

"But, if a girl group doesn't have strong vocals, they won't go far. Take the popular Blackpink for example. They don't have strong vocals. Let me tell you about some girls who have made it. I know Yuqi and the others. The dancing skills in her group are pretty good, right? You also know Xiaojuan's creative ability, and you also know the environment in South Korea."

Zhang Yixing pinched his chin and nodded. He knew all of this.

"Then there's your company, Ning Yizhuo's group. Ning Ning is a great vocalist. To me, rap is indeed easy to attract fans, but it's a girl group! If the vocals are poor, they won't go far."

After listening to Li Cheng's words, Zhang Yixing also realized where the shortcomings of these girls in his family came from. Their vocal skills were indeed a little lacking.

The girls all lowered their heads when they heard Li Cheng's comments. They didn't expect Li Cheng's requirements to be so demanding. How long would they have to practice for a great vocalist like Ning Yizhuo? After all, she came from the children's version of The Voice and had a golden voice since childhood!
Li Cheng continued: "Also, let's not compare with South Korea, just like the Rocket Girls in 18, which is closer."

After saying that, he looked at the group of girls.

The girls all nodded.

Zhang Yixing pouted his head and looked at Li Cheng and said, "Go on, I want to hear your advice."

"Rocket Girls have always been criticized, saying that this group is popular because of Yang Chaoyue's voice and her koi attribute, but this is also true. You are all very beautiful and have your own characteristics, but their group's strength is not bad. For example, Duan Aojuan, she once received hundreds of millions of views on DY with her voice. You have to know that she was the first generation of DY. Before that time, KS dominated short videos. And their youngest, Li Ziting, is of Thai Chinese descent and a great vocalist from the Thai version of the Voice of China. In terms of rap, their captain has been on The Rap of China, and there is no need to mention dance. Although the big devil mmq was banned for a period of time because of that incident, no one ignores her strength."

"There is another person in Rocket Girls who is very talented, Sunnee Yang Yunqing. Although she dresses in a neutral style, her talent is not bad. She used to be an actress in Taiwan. This group is very strong. Then there is Yu Shuxin and her show."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he pointed at Zhang Yixing and said to the girls, "Even if your boss's apprentice is the PD, the girl group he selects can also have a little bit of his faction."

Zhang Yixing smiled and said, this is true, cxk was indeed chosen by him, and he is very optimistic about this kid, his strength is beyond doubt.

"Which one of them is the best? Liu Yuxin, her dancing ability is beyond doubt. She held a concert for 10,000 people a while ago. She is very talented. Yu Yan, Xie Keyin, Kong Xueer, Xu Jiaqi and others in her group are all very talented."

Li Cheng looked at the girls again and said, "I'm not saying you're not good, but you're a little biased. Liu Yuxin's group is well-rounded. They sing well and have great vocals, but the strengths of the members are more like hexagons, which is very different from Rocket Girls. Rocket Girls have an outstanding person in every position. You should focus on practicing dancing while not neglecting vocals. Singing well will be a big plus for you."

Li Cheng pointed at Zhang Yixing who was sitting aside and thinking, and said to the girls: "My senior brother has a lot of traffic, he is the best among the four returning students."

"No, no, no, don't keep talking about this. I'm fine."

Zhang Yixing became humble at this time. After all, he had a decent relationship with the other people and they had some private contact, but not much, and he still had dreams to realize.

"Yes, it's okay, but when your show comes out next year, it will definitely receive a lot of attention. You don't want your boss to be scolded because of you, right? By then, there will be bad reviews online, such as this girl group's singing ability is not good, their dancing ability is average, and I don't know why Zhang Yixing wanted them to debut, etc. There will definitely be worse things than what I said."

When the girls heard what Li Cheng said, they all lowered their heads again, not daring to look directly at Li Cheng. Some of them even had red eyes because they were hit hard by Li Cheng.

"I'm talking about the worst possible outcome. My senior said that boys should be raised freely while girls should be raised in luxury. But don't think that the current vacancy in domestic girl groups will make everyone think you are okay if you fill it. You should not only compare yourself with your predecessors in China, but mainly with South Korea. After all, their girl groups are really good. There are few domestic stages, but Zhang Yixing will give you a stage, but! This is also the most important thing."

Everyone looked at Li Cheng.

"You are strong, and there will be a lot of investors vying to give you a stage! To put it bluntly, investors also like to reap profits. When you become successful, other domestic companies will surely launch girl groups one after another, and there will definitely be PK competition stages. If you win them all, not only will you make your boss proud, but you will also increase your own traffic. If your strength is really overwhelming, you can use this stage as a stage to promote your songs. Isn't it said that there is a shortage of stages in China? If the cake is bigger, there will be many people who want to come in. Now it depends on whether you want to have a piece of this cake!"

Li Cheng took a sip of water, crossed his legs and looked at the girls and continued, "Don't tell me that you formed a girl group for your dreams or something. It's all nonsense to me. When you can't afford to eat because of your dreams, you won't think so anymore."

"Also, I know that you must have some talent in your families, otherwise your parents wouldn't have given you to my senior. It's good to have dreams, but when the opportunity comes, I hope you can be strong. I also don't want you to ruin my senior's reputation. Think about how many people laughed at him when he said he wanted to take Chinese music to the world."

He then hugged Xiao Tian who was standing beside him and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian was also attacked crazily by my senior's fans because of this incident, right?"

"It's all in the past. Wasn't Xiaotian just joking at that time? I didn't think anything of it when you mocked her."

Zhang Yixing didn't expect Li Cheng to actually bring this up. Doesn't this make both of them embarrassed?

Oda also smiled awkwardly. This was indeed a joke she made. One must admit one's mistakes and stand at attention when being beaten. She also apologized to Zhang Yixing about this matter and they both felt it was over.

"So, the attention you will get on the show next year will definitely be different. Don't be too stressed. Just like my senior said, as long as you want to debut, he has plenty of ways to do it, but you must practice your skills. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, just like 0713. I believe you have all seen this, right?"

"Seen"

"Seen"

"So, come on, you still have a lot of time now. Don't just practice dancing, you have to keep up with your vocals. You don't want someone to suddenly appear and take your place, do you?"

As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, the girls' hearts skipped a beat. This was really possible! They had been together for a long time and had been practicing together since they came to DNA. If someone really suddenly appeared and snatched their debut spot, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Yixing listened to Li Cheng and asked with a smile: "Why don't you dance? You are such a good dancer."

He turned to look at Oda and asked, "Have you ever seen him dance?"

"I have seen it, but not much. I just danced along to the music. But you know what, it was really good. Much better than me, who has uncoordinated limbs."

Xiaotian immediately clapped and shouted, "Come on! Come on!"

"one comes!"

“Come one!” “Come one!”

Li Cheng heard the noise, shook his head, stood up and said, "Freestyle, any black music will do."

"Come on! I'll find one for you!"

Zhang Yixing’s phone doesn’t have much else to offer, except for music!
As the music started, Li Cheng quickly got into the mood.

His dancing is actually very similar to Bubu's, both have big frames and awesome floor moves.

Zhang Yixing couldn't help but sigh when Li Cheng was dancing, saying that Li Cheng had a really good sense of music and was playing music.

When Xiaotian saw Li Cheng dancing, his eyes were filled with stars and he looked at him with an infatuated look on his face.

The girls sitting on the ground also showed admiring eyes. Li Cheng's freestyle dancing was really good. He hit the beats accurately, his movements were clean and neat, and he and the song were one.

Zhang Yixing immediately took out his mobile phone and sent Li Cheng's dance part to Wang Yibo.

Li Cheng's dance was neither too long nor too short, just one minute.

'Pap-pap-pap-pap'

Applause continued to ring out in the practice room.

Many heads appeared at the door, all with surprised expressions. Many trainees in Zhang Yixing's company were eavesdropping at the door, but when Li Cheng was dancing, they all leaned on the windows at the door to peek. It would have been okay if they didn't look, but they were all shocked when they saw him, because his dancing level was too high.

"Why don't you go hip-hop? You're such a great dancer."

Zhang Yixing looked at Li Cheng with admiration. He felt that Li Cheng could fight Bubu for three hundred rounds.

Li Cheng took a sip of water, waved his hand and said, "Too much work, too much fun to do hip-hop, too many defeated opponents."

Zhang Yixing clicked on the voice message sent by Wang Yibo, "Let Cheng Cheng come to Street Dance! He must come! Let him be a contestant! I want to choose him!"

"Cheng Cheng won't go. He said he won't go without you this season!"

Zhang Yixing replied quickly and said that the guests for this season had already been decided, and Wang Yibo would not continue to participate.

As an E-person, Li Yulin raised his hand and asked, "Brother Cheng Cheng, can you sing a song? I saw you singing very well in a variety show before."

"Yes, yes, yes. Can you sing a little? Even a short part."

Zhou Luoxi pinched her fingers and looked at Li Cheng expectantly.

Seeing that the children across from him all wanted to hear Li Cheng sing, Xiaotian pushed Li Cheng who was about to sit down and said, "The children want to listen, sing a song."

"Yes, Junior Brother, sing a part."

Zhang Yixing has never heard Li Cheng sing a song, live.

"Then let's listen to Mr. Maomao's song, The Nameless Man."

'Pap-pap-pap-pap'

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"expect!"

Zhang Yixing quickly found the accompaniment, and when he found the accompaniment of "Unknown Person", he clicked to play it directly.

The moment Li Cheng heard the music, he took a deep breath. As an actor, he got into the state very quickly, within seconds.

“I am the nameless person on this road”

“I have no news and no one comments”

As soon as Li Cheng sang these two lines, the trainees outside the practice room all opened their mouths wide. Not only did they sing in tune, but the feeling of singing was different from Mao Buyi's, especially when Li Cheng's low, smoky voice sounded, which was completely different from the voice of his speaking just now.

Oda smiled foolishly again. There were so many shining points in her boyfriend, and he was a treasure that could never be exhausted.

Zhang Yixing also shook his head with his mouth in an O shape. Li Cheng's two lines of lyrics made him close his eyes and immerse himself in the song.

The girls opposite also closed their eyes and began to listen to Li Cheng's singing.

"You have to try your best to get an ordinary script"

“All the twists and turns are just to make a living”

The music soon reached its climax.

“I just want to touch it with my own hands”

"Every moment I bend over"

"Are the wet footprints left behind worth it?"

"If you feel the same way"

“Friends on the same journey”

"To all those who are ordinary and outstanding"

Li Cheng held the microphone tightly, stood straight, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and sang softly: "Nameless person, I toast you a glass of wine."

"Respect your silence and every roar"

"Come on, bend over and climb the mountain to higher places"

"Live hard with the sky above your head"

Li Cheng's singing is full of ups and downs and emotions.

Everyone at the scene closed their eyes and listened. The girls thought of their trainee careers over the past few years when listening to Li Cheng's singing. Although it was very tiring, they felt it was worth it because they had a group of like-minded friends who were pursuing their dreams together. Besides, they would be scheduled to debut next year. They were under a lot of pressure during this period, fearing that they would disappoint Zhang Yixing's good intentions.

Oda also thought about how she went from being an unknown person, to being called a little gangster by the whole internet, to falling in love with Li Cheng, throwing away all her burdens and being her true self.

Needless to say, Zhang Yixing works very hard every day and has very little private life. He strives for what he once said. But now he knows that he is getting older and older, and he is a little overwhelmed. However, his company has a group of children who have the same dream as him. Even if he fails to achieve it, these children will continue to work hard towards that goal.

Some of the trainees outside the practice room shed tears of grievance when they heard Li Cheng's songs, while others planned to work harder and continue to work hard for their dreams! (End of this chapter)
