Qiao Sixiao ignored her when she said she wouldn't bother with her anymore.
Since that night when she left in anger, Qiao Sixiao treated Qin Wei as if she were invisible. Even when they encountered each other in the restaurant, she completely ignored Qin Wei.
Even when Qin Wei greeted her proactively.
Comments—
【Wow, they really lived up to the "quick to come, quick to go" reputation.】
【The disappointed look in Qin Jie's eyes】
【I just edited a video of the two of them, but it's useless now. There won't be any follow-up.】
【Quick, post it on the fan forum. The fan forum for this couple is still active. Let everyone reminisce on their own.】
...
However, Qiao Sixiao's appearance was just an interlude for Qin Wei. Today was the first assessment, and the focus was on the assessment.
The production team opened the largest practice room on this floor today, and they were instructed to gather here as soon as they arrived in the morning.
As people gradually arrived, the host Yang Xiao entered.
He was followed by various instructors.
The assessment format was not specified before, but it seemed that after much discussion, they decided to assess all six classes together.
"The sisters whose names are called, come up and perform with the accompaniment, two minutes each. After the presentation, the mentors will give on-site evaluations. After receiving the scores, you can return to your respective practice rooms for further training."
Yang Xiao said,
"After the first assessment, new songs and subsequent arrangements will be assigned in the afternoon..."
What Yang Xiao said afterward was not important. What was important was that this assessment was not conducted by class?
Those who couldn't remember the moves started sighing repeatedly.
"I'll start calling names now."
Yang Xiao glanced at the list in his hand,
"The first one, Liu Xin, and next up, Chen Xinya, be prepared."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in shock.
Because Liu Xin was from Class C, while Chen Xinya was from Class A. The assessment completely disrupted the order.
Sun Tiantian was on the verge of collapse and muttered quietly,
"The performances of the six classes are different. Our Class F is doomed..."
Singing was not a big pressure for her, but she wasn't good at dancing. It was already good enough that she could remember the moves in just three days. She thought that she could get through the assessment by dancing with everyone else.
Now, it's all over. It's full of difficulties, and she really has to "sail against the wind" in the show...
Her words were heard by Lin Qiqi, who was standing in front of her. Lin Qiqi turned her head and glanced at her, then whispered,
"They will rank everyone, but it's just to let you know each other's abilities. The regular rankings are still based on the groups. What are you worried about?
Besides, we've practiced so many times before. The teachers taught, and I practiced with you all. We should have learned it, right!?"
Her words were meant to comfort, but Sun Tiantian didn't feel comforted at all.
Even eating added pressure to her.
"It's over, it's over. Everyone in the same class has learned it, except me..."
Sun Tiantian murmured to herself, her face turning gloomy.
Qin Wei sighed and then whispered to comfort her,
"The assessment includes singing and dancing abilities, but as Li Mai said before, singing accounts for fifty percent. You graduated from a music academy, so you should be able to score well in that half, right!?"
This statement slightly eased Sun Tiantian's anxiety.
Lin Qiqi turned her head and glanced at Qin Wei, placing her index finger on her lips, gesturing for her not to say anything else.
Liu Xin stood in the center of the practice room, took a deep breath, and nodded to the host.
The music began.
The song assigned to Class C was called "Us." It was a relatively slow-paced but emotionally rich song, with moderately difficult dance moves.
Liu Xin started dancing along with the music, every move perfectly timed, graceful yet rhythmic. Two minutes seemed to fly by in her performance, and when the music stopped, everyone felt a sense of wanting more.
Applause filled the room, and even Qin Wei couldn't help but applaud for her.
Although Qin Wei didn't particularly like her as a person, she recognized Liu Xin's performance.
As the applause subsided, Song Ye asked, "Miss Liu Xin, are you a professional dancer? You danced really well, and I also saw your excellent jazz dance in the preliminaries."
Liu Xin denied it.
But the company had hired many teachers to teach her dancing. This had been reported online, but it wasn't big news. It was just mentioned in passing that female celebrities were practicing dancing for the preliminaries, and Ascend Entertainment was no exception. Not everyone might remember it.
So Liu Xin didn't want to mention it.
Modestly, she replied, "The teachers did a great job. I learned this in the past three days. The dance in the preliminaries, I followed a video and imitated it."
"Wow, Liu Xin's ability to learn dances is so impressive..."
Someone whispered below, and Chen Xinya heard it and couldn't help but smile.
Why wouldn't it be impressive? The company spent a lot of money hiring teachers for her. They weren't so generous to themselves. Fortunately, she had done well, directly entering Class A in the preliminaries.
Yan Qingzi, also a dance teacher, nodded in agreement and added, "Regarding the dance aspect, slow songs like this are actually more challenging. The whole performance still has its flaws, and I need to point that out. But as an actress, your performance skills are sufficient. At this stage, I am quite satisfied."
After Daniel made a brief comment, he handed the microphone to Chen Chen.
But Chen Chen didn't take it, only mentioning that she was the group leader of Classes C and D, and she didn't have much to comment on her own group. She wanted to hear Gu Minghua's evaluation.
Comments--
"Oh, Chen Chen clearly doesn't want to deal with Liu Xin."
"Chen Chen thinks of the disastrous trip whenever she sees Liu Xin."
"If you want to know about their grievances, you can watch 'Stars.' They seem distant and uninterested throughout, not bothering to pretend."
Gu Minghua took the microphone, sitting quietly as usual, wearing a white shirt. When he spoke, his voice was pleasant and unhurried:
"I think you may have put more energy into dancing, but both rhythm and pitch need practice. However, considering the short practice time, you can continue."
Liu Xin remained silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Daniel took the microphone:
"Perhaps you didn't understand the last sentence from Teacher Gu. Let me translate it for you. Sister Liu Xin, you achieved this in just three days. There are shortcomings, but there's still time for improvement."
Gu Minghua's Mandarin was not that good, but his pronunciation was accurate. And Daniel's accent sounded more like a foreigner, so he took the initiative to translate, and everyone burst into laughter.
With this smile, the atmosphere became much livelier.
Liu Xin took this opportunity to adjust her mindset, and she would continue to strive.
"Now, let's invite Chen Xinya to perform, with Miss Si You making preparations."
...
It was almost noon, twelve o'clock...
Qin Wei glanced at the clock on the wall and felt a dizzying hunger.
Last night, she didn't know the assessment method, but Qin Wei had already thought of every possible way:
The entire group would be assessed for the entire song, which would take about five minutes. With six groups, the battle would be over in half an hour. That's the minimum time required.
Assessing each individual for the entire song was unrealistic. At most, each person would have three minutes. Even if they started at ten-thirty, they would finish by the latest.
Ignoring any possible interruptions, it wouldn't exceed ten-thirty.
So, if singing and dancing went smoothly, Qin Wei would only have eaten a small portion for breakfast.
Who knew the mentors would talk so much? After each person finished their performance, they would just keep on blabbering, and their speech speed was slow.
They managed to drag it out until twelve o'clock noon!!!
There were too many words...
Too many...
And there were less than ten people left...
Persistence is victory...
Persistence...
Qin Wei wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Qin Wei? What's wrong with you, Qin Wei..."
