Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 25 Theme Song Assessment (Part )

Zhang Yixing walked in first. He greeted all the trainees with a warm and cheerful voice, "Hi, long time no see."

"Hello, PD Zhang!"

100 trainees stood up and returned the greeting to Zhang Yixing.

After Zhang Yixing took his seat, the other mentors followed him back to their familiar seats. Familiar profile cards were placed in front of them. However, their seats had been moved from in front of the contestants to facing them.

The 100 trainees sat on the other side of the studio according to their classes.

There is a large rectangular space in the middle, which is reserved for the trainees to perform the theme dance later.

The four capital letters A, B, C, D, and F are pasted on the ground at intervals of two meters.

The trainees sat down in the areas corresponding to their levels in accordance with the arrangements of the program team.

Gu Jingyi sat down casually in the Class A area, but after the other members of Class A noticed his position, the trainees behind him moved aside.

No one wants to sit with Gu Jingyi. Who wants to be a background board that is bullied by appearance?

Gu Jingyi sat at the front of Class A, and the camera panned over. The thought of "Class A's leader" arose in the minds of every staff member.

As a talent show, "Idol Producer" knows very well what the audience wants to see.

There are only two reasons why a theme song goes viral: either the dance is amazing, or the dance is terrible.

The trainees' theme song performances will be assessed by group. Each class, A to F, will send one contestant to stand in a designated position for review.

It saves the audience the time of making videos with the audience later, and simply and directly presents the results in front of them.

The most heartbreaking thing is that there is an "A" class player in each group.

Even if the contestants who can enter Class A cannot sing and dance perfectly, they must be particularly outstanding in expression management, dancing or singing.

"Idol Producer" put Class A and Class F together, and has been secretly stirring up trouble since the beginning of the show.

The trainees in the audience are not fools, so they can naturally see the intentions of the program team.

The trainees were talking among themselves, and everyone had a worried look on their faces.

Gu Jingyi was the only one who was different. He was still sitting at the edge of the field, leisurely admiring the expressions on the trainees' faces, as relaxed as if he were on vacation.

In the mentor's seat, Cheng Xiao gave him a sharp look, signaling him to stop.

When Gu Jingyi noticed her gaze, he also shifted his gaze over.

Cheng Xiao wore a long-sleeved light-colored sweatshirt today. It was obviously a very loose sweatshirt, but it still created an arc on Cheng Xiao's body, which looked very eye-catching.

The hem of the sweatshirt was also very long, covering her perky buttocks.

This is the most popular lower body missing outfit this year, which looks lazy and sexy.

The finishing touch is the black leg ring on Cheng Xiao's leg. However, her thighs are quite fleshy, which causes the leg ring to slightly bulge, giving her a sense of flesh being squeezed. This flaw does not affect her overall style, but rather adds a unique charm.

Gu Jingyi's gaze was a little presumptuous, and scenes flashed through his mind one after another.

"boom"

I don’t know if it was because he was a little shy, but Cheng Xiao, who had been sitting comfortably in the mentor seat, bumped his leg against the corner of the table.

"Are you okay?"

Zhou Jieqiong, who was sitting next to her, noticed the noise and turned around to look at her with some concern.

Cheng Xiao's ears flushed instantly and his cheeks felt a little hot.

She remained silent, quickly brushing her hair back with her hands, hiding her ears in her dark blue hair, a slight emotion flashing in her eyes.

"It's okay, I was just a little distracted."

Cheng Xiao spoke ambiguously, somewhat afraid to look at Gu Jingyi.

Zhang Yixing looked at the trainees and finished reading the competition rules. Wang Jiaer jumped right into the process. "Jeffey, you're first!" "Huh?"

Jeffey was a little confused when his name was called, and he stood up hesitantly.

The other trainees in Class B silently lowered their hands that were about to be raised.

The real royal family is a fraud. There is only one uncle in the world~
Everyone knows that Class A only has 9 people, so dancing with the members of Class A at least guarantees that the shot won't be just a few seconds in the main film.

The first group at the beginning received the most shots.

Class B is the class closest to Class A in strength, so there are many contestants who want to get into A by using the theme song.

We can only blame their uncle for not working hard enough and not being a household name.

The students from other classes had also made their selections, and in the end only Class A had not yet made its selection.

But the trainees in Class A all turned their eyes to Gu Jingyi. No one dared to move until this big boss made a statement...

Gu Jingyi sat upright and said calmly: "I just finished breakfast."

"That's true. You can't exercise right after eating."

"Okay, Brother Jingyi, take a seat and take a break. We'll discuss it ourselves and get the place going first."

After Gu Jingyi made this statement, someone quickly joined Class A.

Zhu Zhengting stepped out of the line and stood in the designated area marked with A.

The five trainees stood in a row from left to right according to their class order.

They were all warming up and getting ready to start.

After they were all warmed up, the staff member outside the camera responsible for playing the accompaniment pressed the play button.

The next second, the prelude to "EiEi" sounded.

"Hey, I'll get closer to you in the next second

The dream is ready..."

The trainees opened their arms and pointed to the sky.

Even a trainee with a poor foundation would be able to do the opening preparatory movements.

But Jeffey might be a little nervous. When the accompaniment sounded, he slowed down the rhythm for a beat and waited until everyone moved before opening his arms.

His initial preparations were slow, which affected his subsequent movements. He hadn't received much training as a trainee, so he couldn't adjust to the situation immediately.

Compared with the dance leader Zhu Zhengting next to him, he looked particularly embarrassed.

There were no NGs or redos in the theme song test. Even if his movements were messed up, he had no choice but to continue dancing!
It seems like a simple theme song assessment, but it tests not only professional ability but also mentality.

In the mentor's seat, Zhang Yixing shook his head with some disappointment.

Opportunities are often fleeting, and Jeffey has no choice but to seize the opportunity that comes to his door.

After Zhu Zhengting finished the recording, everyone in Class A applauded and cheered for his smooth performance.

He said nothing, only smiled. To others, he was being modest and humble, but to Gu Jingyi, who had gone through overseas talent shows at the same time as him, he looked at him with a familiar, secretly happy expression.

For the second round of assessment, Justin from Class A went up with great enthusiasm.

But for some reason, a small mistake occurred.

His mistake brought tension and pressure to Class A, and the performances of the next few players were not good.

Time passed little by little, until in the end, only Gu Jingyi and Cai Xukun were left in Class A who had not gone on stage.

When the trainees from other classes were all standing in line, Gu Jingyi and Cai Xukun looked at each other, discussing with their eyes who would go first.
