CTTT Chapter 2

The first girl to perform first was Lin Xinxiang, a contestant from CL Entertainment, who practiced for four years.

Judging from Jiang Ting’s ten-year trainee career, she vaguely felt that this was a formidable rival. She held her breath and looked forward to the performance of the other party.

“…don’t say you love me”

“A broken mirror is difficult to round…”

In the high-pitched part, the last word was broken, and the girl hurriedly sang the next sentence.

“The lost love will never come back…”

The high-pitched mistake made her tense.

“Breaking up is better than being a resentful couple…”

The dance gradually became out of shape, and the steps were broken.

“Ah…” The last sentence of the high-pitched ‘ah’ word can’t be reached.

After 60 seconds of ‘Show Time’, the scene was silent.

At this time, the lamp head was turned to the faces of the four instructors. The faces were uglier than the others, and the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning took the lead in commenting.

“To be honest, I don’t know what this sings about. I can’t hear the lyrics in the first half, the high pitch is broken, and the dance… It’s better not to dance. If your strength is only like this, I suggest don’t waste your time here. Just practice for another two years.” Zhang Ning criticized unceremoniously.

Then, she scored on the scoring device in her hand. A few seconds later, the big screen on the stage displayed a score that caused an uproar, “3 points”.

The captain of the top domestic men’s group Seven Fox, the Dance Instructor Lin Ershu smiled softly: “Well, Lin’s courage to choose this song is commendable and worthy of praise. It’s just, this love song it’s very difficult, and this song doesn’t require dancing. So I think the dance itself restricts you and drags you down…”

The handsome senior explained in a soft voice. Compared with the stern instructor Zhang Ning, everyone thought that the other party would at least give Lin Xinxiang a passing grade when a bright red score appeared in front of everyone on the big screen.

“The score I give you is…2 points, I hope you will improve your grades next time.”

Jiang Ting felt that this girl was too pitiful. This instructor is a black-belly man. His mouth is full of smiles, but the score in his hand is very real.

When it came to He Xi, the Prince of Love Song, the Vocal Instructor, the other party’s comment was very simple and just a few words.

“Because the timbre is very good, I like it very much. But your singing skills need to be improved. I give… 5 points.” Vaguely, Jiang Ting heard someone exclaiming that the score given by the vocal instructor was too high.

Finally, Wen Ya, the gold medal producer of the arranger mentor, also gave ‘3 points’, but it was not easy to give this three points. Wen Ya criticized Lin Xinxiang again, from beginning to end like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the program, or if she was really dissatisfied with the Vocal Instructor He Xi, and Wen Ya even slapped He Xi. She directly stated, “This is an audition competition. It’s not about listening to who has the better voice. I hope that some mentors will also take responsibility and evaluate objectively.” Wen Ya’s words completely made Lin Xinxiang unable to hold back, and couldn’t help crying.

Jiang Ting was stunned when she saw it, whether the instructor wanted to make an example to others or tell the truth honestly, but this comment was a bit too much.

According to her conscience, Lin Xinxiang sang pretty well at the beginning. But, she was only the first one to appear, and it could be seen that she was too nervous. And it was only after her high notes broke that she made a series of mistakes. It can only be said that the strength is there, but it has not been exerted.

After the evaluation by the instructors, the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning finally announced Lin Xinxiang’s results.

“Lin Xinxiang, with a total score of 13, is currently ranked first.”

Lin Xinxiang, who scored 13 points out of a total score of 40, was red-eyed and temporarily sat first in the girl’s team.

Meanwhile, the most brutal part of the show came.

This is the ‘Temporary No. 1’. Whenever a new ‘No. 1’ appears, everyone in the lower ranks will collectively move back to one place, which is cold and terrifying.

Immediately afterward, the second contestant came on stage, Pan Yujia, a trainee of Orange Entertainment.

The girl’s performance is cute, but the dance foundation is very solid. So Jiang Ting can evaluate it… Forget it. After the scene just now, Jiang Ting no longer dares to casually evaluate other people.

In the eyes of the instructor, it is not brilliant, mediocre, and average, with a total score of 25 points, temporarily ranked first.

Everyone watched Lin Xinxiang get up and ‘give up’ the first place and sit in second place. This is the cruelest part of the show. Nakedly arrange all the rankings one by one, completely ignoring the psychological pressure of the contestants.

Jiang Ting watched two performances and probably knew the selection style of the instructors. Therefore, she no longer pays attention to other people’s performances. She fully devotes her mind to the song ‘Side to Side’ which she has practiced day and night. She keeps recalling the songs and dances of this song in her mind.

Until…

“Hey, No. 8, it’s almost time for you, go backstage and get ready for the stage.” The assistant of the program team crept behind Jiang Ting and whispered.

Jiang Ting stood up quickly and apologized: “Sorry, I’m fascinated by watching, I’ll go right now.”

The 7th performer in front of Jiang Ting is Lei Yunyun of Aqi Entertainment, one of the four top entertainment companies in China. In 60 seconds of ‘Show Time’, she performed a basic street dance. And then…then it was over.

The four instructors were a little shocked after watching it.

After a while, the Chief Instructor Zhang Ning asked: “This is the end?”

Lei Yunyun nodded.

Lin Ershu frowned and asked, “Lei Yunyun, how long have you been a trainee?”

Lei Yunyun stretched out an index finger with a shy face.

Wen Ya: “One year?”

Lei Yunyun hurriedly shook her head, and the instructors couldn’t understand it.

Until Lei Yunyun said timidly: “One month.”

Everyone was in an uproar. No matter whether it is a male trainee or a female trainee, they can’t help laughing. This girl is here to be a joke, right?

Especially the boys’ trainees, when they thought that this girl might partner with them, their faces turned bad.

But no one thought that it was such a girl. The director held a sign with the words ‘appearance rate’ brightly written on it and showed it to the instructors.

The Chief Instructor Zhang Ning was silent after seeing it, and the director’s face was a little ugly for a moment. After Lin Ershu saw it, he started to say that he hoped the other party would sing a song to see her singing ability.

After the song is over, there is no sound.

The four instructors looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes, and they only felt that it was too difficult for them.

For this kind of contestant who is not good at singing, dancing, holding the script, and purely for gold plating, they have to follow the director’s instructions, give more shots and give more points, lest the other party loses the topic, and the show loses popularity. It will be more difficult.

Finally, Lei Yunyun moved to second place in the qualification round with a total score of 34 points. At this time, all the players on the scene probably knew that this was a ‘heavyweight’ contestant.

It’s just Hong Shiyu, who was second in the qualification round, who lost to Lei Yunyun with a total score of 33 points. When she gave up the position to the other party, she bit her lower lip and didn’t move for a long time, which made the scene extremely ugly.

The assistant director hurriedly stepped forward to warn. Hong Shiyu didn’t speak and sat in third place obediently. But anyone could see the sarcasm in the corner of her eyes.

“Next, please come in the No. 8 contestant.” The loudspeaker on the stage announced

Backstage, the executive assistant saw that there was nothing wrong with her outfit, and quickly pushed her to the stage.

After taking the stage, the bright pink light shone on her, Jiang Ting bowed, said hello, and introduced herself together.

“Hello instructor, I’m the No. 8 personal trainee, Jiang Ting. The song I’m performing is ‘Side to Side’.”

The Chief Instructor nodded slightly at her, “Okay, you can start.”

Jiang Ting walked to the back and lowered her head.

Three seconds later, the lights on the stage were all turned off. Immediately afterward, a beam of light red light hit the girl on the stage.

The music started, the prelude ‘bang bang’ played with two drums, followed by a clear female voice with a wild style.

“I’ve been here all night

(I’ve been here all night)

I’ve been here all-day

(I’ve been waiting here for a long time)

And boy you got me walking side to side

(Boy you made me wander back and forth)…”

The girl raised her head, flicked her slightly curly hair vigorously, twisted her waist and swung her hips, turned around, and shook her wrist. A set of continuous dance moves, just right hit everyone’s hearts.

Afterward, accompanied by the extremely ear-catching melody, the female voice continued to sing.

“I’m talking to you

See you standing over there with your body…”

She is like a sexy wild cat, stepping on the catwalk, and walking from the back of the stage to the front. Bent over and twisted, raised his foot, tapped her right foot on the ground, followed the trend with a wild sideways wave, and firmly captured the hearts of all the trainees present.

Pan Yujia’s eyes lit up and exclaimed, “Ahhhh… (ah, I’m dead), it’s too sexy.”

Hong Shiyu’s eyes were blurred. Her face was not obvious, but she shouted in her heart, “Absolutely, it is too extreme, it’s like publicly executing the bitch next door.”

“These friends keep talking way too much

Say I should give you up

… hear them no cause I…”

Accompanied by the high-pitched sound, the girl squatted down neatly, twisted her body, and sat sideways on the stage. Then her left and right legs slid back, her sexy and hot body bent into an ‘S’ shape, and her slightly curly black hair flicked vigorously, another set of well-connected dance moves demonstrating her superior dance skills.

When it comes to the high-pitched double part, she is high-pitched but not sharp and even has a thick timbre, which makes it easy for her to transition to the end of the song. After that, the drum beats became fast and intense, and the music with a powerful force hit her face.

Under the red light on the stage, the girl easily made a hot wave and raised her legs, twisting from the left to the right. The wild cat on the stage seemed to be instantly turned into a dangerous tigress.

After finishing this set of clean and neat dance moves, the time came to an end.

The girl turned her back to the stage, stood, and looked back, staring at the camera with sharp eyes, a perfect ending pose appeared in front of the camera.

At the same time, it was officially announced that Jiang Ting’s 60s ‘Show Time’ performance, the No. 8 personal trainee, came to an end.
