The female audience was satisfied and walked to the piano to sit down.
"You have to give Sister Qin Wei a tuning fork first," Yang Xiao said as he walked over to point at the piano keys for her.
The big screen switched to Qin Wei's side. She put her index finger to her lips, and the audience below quickly quieted down.
The female audience pressed the piano key, giving the tuning fork first.
Then the female audience played three notes. After she finished, Qin Wei sang them out.
"Refami"
Gu Minghua, standing by the piano, nodded slightly. Qin Wei had heard correctly.
Again.
"Sollare"
Gu Minghua nodded again, then said to the female audience playing the piano:
"You can add another note."
The female audience did as instructed.
Qin Wei closed her eyes and listened carefully.
"Solmilare"
Gu Minghua frowned, she hadn't gotten a single note wrong.
This was already at the level a music graduate should have, the kind that had undergone systematic training and didn't slack off in class.
It was not easy to hear random notes with no pattern, especially three or more.
Perhaps it was talent, or just a coincidence?
It wasn't impossible for some people to have natural musical talent...
Out of intense curiosity, Gu Minghua wanted to try it out.
He stood to the side, randomly pressed three notes.
Qin Wei had her back to the piano, and couldn't see the screen, so she had no idea these notes were played by Gu Minghua.
After listening, Qin Wei hesitated for a moment, still said out loud what she heard:
"It should be do in the small octave two group, sol in the small octave one group, and also a low tone area..."
She didn't seem so certain,
"Was there also mi in the large octave one group?"
"That's right."
Gu Minghua's tone was calm, but his eyes were clearly brighter than usual. Being able to understand notes across such a large range meant she really could do it!
Gu Minghua wanted to play again right away, but was stopped by Yang Xiao:
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu, wait a minute, are you recruiting students on the spot?"
Only then did Gu Minghua realize he was a little out of line. Whenever it came to music, it was easy to get absorbed in it.
The corners of his mouth curved up into a nice arc, and he responded to Yang Xiao's words very candidly:
"If possible, I would be very willing to accept her as a student. In my opinion, she has a better future ahead in the field of music."
Yang Xiao didn't get his meaning. Like the audience, he was more looking forward to finding out if Qin Wei's answers were right or not:
"So you mean...Qin Wei got them all right?"
Gu Minghua nodded:
"Of course."
There was another round of applause from the audience. The livestream comments were also full of praise—
【Goose Lu you've really exceeded our imagination!】
【Goose Lu you've finally won back some face for your mom!】
【Too awesome babe, sob sob...I'm crying out loud!】
【Sis Qin you've finally stood out for once, sob sob】
【Practice makes perfect! I feel like I picked the right idol with Goose Lu】
On the other side, Yang Xiao took the envelope handed over by a staff member. When the applause died down, he picked up the mic and said:
"Our result statistics are already out, the winner and loser have been decided. Before revealing it, I'd like to ask the little sisters in the audience, is there anything you'd like to say?"
Liu Xin spoke first to share her thoughts, then it was Si You, and the mic was passed to Qiao Sixiao's hands:
"I hope to change step by step, and break past myself! I also hope I can use this platform to achieve better growth. Um, that's it."
After she finished, she directly walked over to take the mic and skipped past Lin Qiqi, putting it in Qin Wei's hands instead.
It was Qiao Sixiao, Lin Qiqi didn't even show a hint of dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Qin Wei was unprepared and looked confused, Qiao Sixiao told her:
"Say what you want to say."
What I want to say...
Clutching the mic, Qin Wei was silent for a few seconds, then said:
"All of us in Class F are ranked near the bottom, but that doesn't mean we're the worst. They're all working very hard, and are just as dazzling on stage.
I make a wish here, wishing that our team could stay. If it comes true, I'm willing to drink a whole bottle of water in one go...
Also, I still have a few months before school starts, I don't want to leave yet..."
Sob sob...my contract isn't up yet, I haven't gotten paid, I don't want to start shooting trash films, I'm just a trainee with no acting skills!
She didn't say these words out loud, but holding them in made her eyes turn red. Unfortunately, the sadder she was, the more gleefully everyone else laughed.
Joy was theirs, I had nothing.
Indeed, human sorrow and joy do not coincide.
Yang Xiao tried his best to hold in his laugh. As he opened the envelope, he passed the result inside to Shen Kai's hands. Shen Kai, as the guest, then announced the final answer:
"It is my honor to announce the results! Before that, let's have a short commercial break first, and thank our sponsors who have provided their support, they are..."
After the commercials ended, the screen started changing along with Shen Kai's announced results, recording each female artist's expression upon learning if they were staying or leaving.
With each name announced, Qin Wei felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat...
"Next is the 'Superlove' group—"
Thump thump thump thump!
Her heart was racing like crazy.
"Qin Wei, as you wished, everyone passes!"
Qin Wei was so happy she almost cried!
A total of ten people were being eliminated this round. Other than Class A who ranked first overall and was safe, the remaining five classes would each eliminate a corresponding number.
Two people eliminated per class.
Since Qin Wei's team was safe, it meant the elimination spots fell on Lin Qiqi's side!
The on-screen scores showed that the two eliminated were Shao Zixuan and Wang Yuewen. Lin Qiqi barely escaped elimination herself.
In other words, Lin Qiqi's three-person team was ranked last.
This result didn't surprise anyone.
Their team was always bickering, too bogged down by internal conflicts...
Livestream comments—
【Should've just eliminated all 3 from Class F, we're so tired of looking at Lin Qiqi】
【Why is that annoying prick Qin Wei still there? Must be backed by money】
【She did perform very well okay, no need to drag her for no reason】
The female artists who weren't eliminated all returned backstage. Those eliminated moved on to the next activity.
Only after getting off stage did Qin Wei feel dead tired, the accumulated fatigue over the past few days was about to erupt. She had only walked a few steps before being pulled aside by staff again for an interview.
"I'm so sleepy I could fall asleep standing, what do you need to interview me for?"
She complained, but still had to go.
Stool, plain backdrop, reflective boards and lights already adjusted into place.
Led by the staff, Qin Wei sat down on the stool.
The reporter started right off asking:
"How did you feel being on stage with Mr. Shen Kai today?"
Curses in her heart, but on the surface still had to smile cheerfully. Qin Wei answered:
"No particular feelings, we weren't even on stage together..."
The reporter asked again: "Would you be friends with an ex?"
