"Teacher Sheng! Handsome!"
"One more!"
"One more!"
The atmosphere was extremely lively. Sheng Ziyou turned around, smiled, and ruthlessly rejected them—
"Don't be so mean, try again."
Several cameramen aimed their cameras at her from all directions, and the entire action just now was captured in the mirror.
Originally, Ji Ran's group was supposed to perform "The Horizon", but since they wanted to perform "Flying Run" again, the "The Horizon" group had to wait.
They didn't have any objections, and Fu Jiahuan and others were exercising nearby.
This time, it was pretty much the same as the previous performance, but Lin Yidong hadn’t yet mastered the move, so it wasn’t sexy enough, and instead seemed a little… dumb.
This all requires repeated practice, and Sheng Ziyu didn't expect Lin Yidonggang to get it right in one go.
"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. Lin Yidong, practice the movements you just did in front of the mirror. I'll come back and take a look tomorrow." Sheng Ziyu's voice was clearly biased.
This did seem like special treatment, and a student named Hu Changming in this group instantly became unhappy.
In the same group, if Lin Yidonggang stands out a little bit, the other members will get relatively less attention, and of course they will be unhappy.
Besides, Lin Yidonggang is currently outside the top 18. If he squeezes into the top 18, one will have to be squeezed out.
Sheng Ziyu saw it and said nothing.
Perhaps it was because she saw him for the first time when she came to this world, she did have a better impression of Lin Yidong than others. Plus, she promised to help him as much as possible, so naturally she would be partial to him.
A mentor's experience is her own. It is her own right to decide who she wants to teach and how much she wants to teach.
When the "Skyline" group came on stage, Ji Ran was still eating. He spent most of his time eating throughout the day.
Ji Ran used to debut as a food broadcaster, and his current persona is also a "foodie". The audience who likes him wants to see him eat in front of the camera, so he naturally keeps doing so.
Nothing is easy, even maintaining the love of fans is not easy.
If you want to get something, you have to give something.
The more you care, the harder you should work.
Sheng Ziyu didn’t know whether Ji Ran really wanted to eat, or whether he was really happy eating.
But she thought, Ji Ran had a lower than average weight, so he obviously didn’t enjoy eating...
Compared to the previous group, "Skyrim" can be said to be close to perfection.
They were able to master a dance so well in such a short time. Besides the fact that all of their members were at a higher level than the other group, they must have worked very hard.
I heard from the staff before that these kids practiced until three o'clock last night and came again at nine o'clock this morning.
Ji Ran has a unique appearance and strong strength. Not to mention Fu Jiahuan's strength, it is difficult for Sheng Ziyu to find any problems with him.
He has the same type of look as Lin Yidonggang and is too good-looking. In the words of his fans, his smiling face can make people forget everything.
There are very few problems in this group.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud, and the condition of Lin Yidong's group of students became visibly deteriorating.
The contrast is too stark. They are both dance groups and have the same practice time, but they have two completely different results.
Xiang Yuan couldn't help but praise: "Great, keep up the good form, there are still several days before the performance, I hope you can amaze the audience then, come on!"
"Thank you, Teacher Xiang!" The group of students bowed together.
"Ji Ran." Sheng Ziyu suddenly called Ji Ran's name.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially the students who were close to Ji Ran frowned slightly.
This teacher Sheng...
Ji Ran's brows were furrowed extremely ugly, but for several shots, he still looked at Sheng Ziyu, waiting for her to speak.
Sheng Ziyou's expression was calm, she really didn't want to talk to Ji Ran anymore. Because of the problems left by her original body, whenever she talked to Ji Ran, everyone thought she was going to "hint" at Ji Ran again.
But she couldn't bear to see the students take the wrong path, especially this friend who had always had a good relationship with her in her world.
"Ji Ran." Her voice was as flat as her expression, and she turned off the microphone. "I don't know why you're in a bad mood, and I don't want to know why you're in a bad mood. Because... no matter what the reason is, that's not a reason for you to have a straight face during your performance."
Sheng Ziyou's expression became a little serious. She turned off the microphone and lowered her voice as much as possible: "No matter what your mood is, no matter what state you are in, you should be dedicated when you stand on the stage and perform. You should understand how rare opportunities are. Is this your attitude towards the opportunity you have finally waited for?"
She paused and waved to a cameraman, "Brother, I just saw you were recording their performance. Can you give Ji Ran a copy of the dance? Let him go back and watch it himself. He should know how different his ugly face is from the whole team."
Ji Ran’s face turned pale and his whole body shook slightly.
Sheng Ziyu was doing this for Ji Ran's own good, and even cut the wheat.
She said the harsh words that a mentor should say, but if it were broadcast, it would not only have a bad impact on Ji Ran's popularity, but would also make his fans hate her.
If you can avoid trouble, don't make it difficult for yourself.
Sheng Ziyu shut down Mai not only for Ji Ran, but more for herself.
"Okay." The cameraman nodded.
After the other party agreed, Sheng Ziyu said nothing more, gestured to Xiang Yuan, and turned to leave.
Behind him, Ji Ran suddenly opened his mouth: "Thank you... Teacher Sheng..."
His voice was complicated, mixed with various emotions, but Sheng Ziyu knew that this sentence was a true expression of gratitude.
She paused for a moment, without even turning her head, "It's my duty."
This is the mentor’s responsibility.
After saying that, he strode away.
Only the students with different expressions were left behind.
In the evening, Yang Yun knocked on Sheng Ziyu's door.
"Sister You, Wen Shanshan went to see Mr. Xu."
Sheng Ziyou was not surprised at all, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Okay, I understand."
It is absolutely impossible for Wen Shanshan to think well of her. Since she is stepping on her to get to the top, if she gets better, Wen Shanshan will become a stepping stone.
There is nothing to complain or hate about this. Competition is like this. It all depends on who has the better move.
She won't get angry or show mercy.
At this time, inside a private club.
While pouring wine for Mr. Xu, Wen Shanshan said gently, "Mr. Xu, it's really not easy to get an appointment with you!"
The chubby man next to him smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? If you call me, I will come out right away."
"Okay, okay, I misunderstood Mr. Xu. I'll drink a glass first!" Wen Shanshan said with a smile. Her looks are not very outstanding in the entertainment industry, but she is definitely a great beauty outside, especially since she put on some very nice makeup today.
Mr. Xu also patiently chatted with her: "Shanshan, are you doing well in our program group? Is there anything you are not used to?"
"I'm fine." Wen Shanshan smiled and poured him another glass of wine. "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for introducing me to this program. Now the influence of the program is getting bigger and bigger, and my fame has also increased a lot. It can be said that it is all thanks to our Mr. Xu."
"Hahaha, no way, that's because you are strong!" Mr. Xu said, putting a hand on Wen Shanshan's leg.
Wen Shanshan was stunned for a moment, her feet trembled slightly, but she finally smiled and gently retracted her legs.
Mr. Xu glanced at her with a half-smile, then withdrew his hand without saying anything else.
It's normal to take advantage of others at the dinner table, but if it really involves some improper relationship... it will be troublesome for everyone.
Moreover, Mr. Xu's level... is not even as high as that of an artist as famous as Wen Shanshan. He can take advantage of it a little and get financial benefits, which is enough to satisfy his appetite.
"Mr. Xu, let me toast you again. If I can remain prosperous in the future, I will never forget your kindness!" Wen Shanshan smiled and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Mr. Xu clapped his thigh happily, and his eyes on his fat face squeezed together: "Great! Just for what you said, Shanshan, if you need any help from me during the show, I will definitely help you!"
Wen Shanshan followed his advice and used his name to get closer to him: "Oh, Brother Xu is so righteous! You are my real brother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Shanshan frowned, looking embarrassed.
"Shanshan, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just tell Brother Xu directly. Brother Xu will definitely make a decision for you if he can!" Mr. Xu stretched out his left hand and held Wen Shanshan's right hand which was placed on the table.
Wen Shanshan didn't pull it out this time. Instead, she said worriedly, "Brother Xu, you know that my ability to stand out in the previous few episodes was also related to Sheng Ziyou. But I don't know what's wrong with Sheng Ziyou these past two days. He keeps hanging around in the practice room. Maybe he wants more shots. Brother Xu, I think that this is a selection competition for students after all. The audience should want to see the students more, not Sheng Ziyou."
Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at her without saying anything.
He also knew that Sheng Ziyu had suddenly taken the initiative these two days. Someone reported it to him yesterday, but he still hadn't made a decision.
"So... Brother Xu, I think it's better not to cut in too many shots of the mentor, right?" Wen Shanshan blinked, stretched out her hand, and a card was pressed under her left hand and pushed over.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to make some things too clear.
Mr. Xu looked at her deeply, smiled, took back the hand that was holding her right hand, and changed it to his left hand, pressing it underneath.
"Well... our boss doesn't care about these things when we make a show. He only cares about how much money he can make and how much attention he can get..."
Wen Shanshan smiled and understood immediately: "Don't worry, Sheng Ziyu is a popular figure after all. The fact that she is just a vase will bring enough influence to our program team. Brother Xu, you will definitely be able to give the company a perfect answer by then."
Obviously, she still wants to help Sheng Ziyu solidify her "vase" image.
Mr. Xu was satisfied: "You still understand..."
As he was speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, and Mr. Xu picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Sheng Ziyu." The female voice on the other end of the phone was crisp and clear.
