Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 24 A good night's sleep is more important than do
Gu Jingyi sat in the nanny car, playing with his cell phone boredly.

He only took two days off, and today was the day he had to go back.

Lin Ze was driving the car while Gu Jingyi was sitting in the back playing King of Glory.

The "da da da" message notification sound kept ringing, and WeChat message pop-ups appeared one after another on the top of the mobile phone screen.

Gu Jingyi, who was killing everyone in the canyon just one second ago, saw the screen go black the next second.

"Oh my god, I'm really impressed. Who on earth is this and why are they posting so many messages?"

Gu Jingyi was a little annoyed. He quit the game and opened WeChat.

There were many unread messages on WeChat, but Gu Jingyi consciously skipped them. He clicked directly to the latest one, clicking on the culprit who had just caused him to lose the game.

[Voice bar 12 seconds]
Gu Jingyi clicked on it, "Wow, Jingyi~. You have a nice figure. I didn't expect you to be so well-endowed."

It was two days ago when Zhou Jieqiong sent him a message. He was still in the hotel with Cheng Xiao, chatting about his feelings. How could he have time to pay attention to her?

[Voice bar 17 seconds]: "Gu Jingyi, why aren't you in the classroom? I finally got the chance to teach Class A, so why aren't you here?"

Gu Jingyi glanced at the sending time, which was exactly two minutes ago.

[Ah, that's so boring. I was thinking I'd get to see you, and you'd give me the opportunity to teach me the moves so I could try them out and see if they're really that cool...]
The newly sent voice message is the longest, at 32 seconds.

Gu Jingyi clicked on the video and left after listening halfway. Zhou Jieqiong's obscene voice made him feel uncomfortable.

Lin Ze, who had been silent the entire time, was having a hard time holding back his laughter, and his face was almost frozen.

"Brother Lin, laugh if you want..."

Gu Jingyi felt helpless. What the hell was this?

The theme song assessment of "Idol Producer" is divided into 3 days in total, and the first day is the instructor's teaching.

Vocal and dance instructors will visit each class to teach, and each class lasts about two hours.

Zhou Jieqiong didn't know that Gu Jingyi had taken a leave of absence, so she started to flirt with him deliberately after class.

"Jingyi, are you sure you don't want to eat the meat that's delivered to your door?"

Agent Lin Ze couldn't help but tease and laughed happily.

"Don't eat meat fresh out of the oven. It's too hot. Let's put it aside and see what happens."

Gu Jingyi simply closed his phone and took a nap in the nanny car.

Running around these past two days was much more tiring than recording for Idol Producer.

A good night's sleep is more important than DOI.

It was already past four in the morning when Gu Jingyi returned to Class A's dormitory. He tiptoed into the room and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Gu Jingyi got up, went to the cafeteria to eat, and then returned to the practice room.

After the first day of teaching, the trainees are free to arrange their practice for the remaining two days.

Except for Class F, which was performing poorly, the trainees in other classrooms were all working hard.

However, the production team did not completely ignore the trainees. The two dance teachers were still assigned to teach different classes to guide the trainees' movements and have a basic understanding of their progress.

When Gu Jingyi passed by Class D classroom, he saw Cheng Xiao's figure flash by.

"Fan Chengcheng, this movement is wrong. Pay attention to my slow motion. It's the elbow that's exerting force..."

Teacher Cheng Xiao is very beautiful and also very strict.

Today is the third day of theme song practice and the last day before the re-evaluation recording.

The atmosphere in Class A's practice room became increasingly tense, and the relaxed atmosphere of the first day was replaced by invisible pressure.

Vocal music and dance classes had already been taken during the two days that Gu Jingyi took leave.

On the third day, Class A had no teachers and the entire day was free practice. "Brother Jingyi, you're back!"

When Justin saw Gu Jingyi coming, his eyes lit up.

"Brother, this movement of mine is a little weird. Help me, it's really hard."

There is no teacher during free practice, and there will be no staff to project teaching videos nearby.

Everyone can dance well by following the video, but once you start dancing on your own... there are a lot of problems.

Justin was really troubled because Zhengting came from a modern dance background. When he performed the theme dance, he would also incorporate the characteristics of modern dance into it.

As for Brother Ding Zeren, let’s not talk about him…

This trainee who was exposed for calling her "my only sister" to a rich female fan is really good at choosing people.

Gu Jingyi watched Justin's movements and quickly saw the problem.

He stood directly in front of Justin and began to dismantle the machine one by one.

"Stretch out your hand here... Hold this beat a little longer. Everything else is fine, try a few more steps."

After watching his demonstration, Justin suddenly understood. Looking at Gu Jingyi again, his eyes were full of gratitude.

The camera mounted in front of him flashed and quietly recorded the scene.

The trainees in Class A were all making their final sprint for the theme song assessment, and Gu Jingyi was singing and dancing at the same time.

After Cai Xukun noticed it, he couldn't help but stop practicing and watch carefully.

After watching it, Cai Xukun had to admit that Gu Jingyi's performance was smoother and more complete than his. He was even far ahead of the entire Class A.

Cai Xukun even felt that Gu Jingyi danced some moves better than in the teaching video.

.........

The theme song is often the most watched stage in the early stages of a talent show.

This is also the only collective stage for the 100 trainees in the audition.

The trainees not only have to compare with each other to select the A-class members, but also have to compare with the theme songs of overseas talent shows.

In a sense, the theme song rating is actually fairer than the initial stage rating.

The first stage performance is affected by makeup, part division, additional tests, instructor preferences, and other factors.

For the theme song rating, everyone sings the same song, dances the same dance, and the evaluation criteria are exactly the same.

This is the last chance for the trainees with no background to make a comeback. Gu Jingyi can feel that it is not just Class B and Class F that are full of fighting spirit.

Some contestants who were forced to be cannon fodder in the first stage are waiting for this opportunity to turn the tide.

Too many people want to be discovered by the audience through the theme song assessment.

The re-rating of the theme song of "Idol Producer" will be conducted in the form of an on-site collective assessment.

The trainees all gather in the studio and complete their stage performances under the watchful eyes of the trainees and mentors.

While the re-evaluation process was underway, the production team also set up cameras directly in front of the contestants' assessments. These direct shots not only greatly improved work efficiency but also ensured the authenticity of the footage.

This is the segment that fans of the show pay the most attention to. Every year, fans will carefully review the live broadcasts of the most popular contestants of the theme song. They will then choose their own picks and vote for them every day.

On the day of the re-evaluation assessment, the trainees gathered in the studio before 8 o'clock in the morning.

Some trainees looked like frost-bitten eggplants, not knowing whether they stayed up late or got up early.

Gu Jingyi sat among them with a refreshed look, standing out like a crane among chickens.

Time passed little by little, and when it was exactly eight o'clock, a few footsteps were heard, and the theme song test was about to begin.
