Chapter 118: Counterattack! Concealing Identity (1)
Translator: _Min
[Could Si Fuqing just sit quietly and not interfere with anything? Thanks.]
[To be fair, Si Fuqing’s rendition of “Mountain Ghost Ballard” is far from the original, isn’t it? Gui Lu would never let a ninth-grade dropout sing her song if she were still active in the industry.]
[Strongly demand a rematch! Si Fuqing is using her position as a mentor to gather votes for Xie Yu while suppressing Lu Yan!]
[Who’s coming here with a sour taste, I won’t say. You’re all just jealous of my wife, who’s both beautiful and talented.]
[I’m laughing. If I remember correctly, wasn’t it Mu Ye who first challenged Si Fuqing as a student? If she doesn’t sing, you’d say she’s useless. You trolls can really talk.]
[You used to bully Si Fuqing for not having fans and openly insulted her. Well, not anymore!]
Online fervor was soaring rapidly, with internet trolls from Tianle Media heading to the official Weibo accounts of Si Fuqing and “Youth With You.”
To ensure that Si Fuqing wasn’t affected by these malicious comments, fans began posting pictures of their own cats and dogs and liked them to dominate the top comments.
Meanwhile, the production team of “Youth With You” received a call from the headquarters of Tianle Media.
The caller was Manager Luo, who had always been responsible for liaising with the production team.
The producer listened with a furrowed brow, incredulous. “Manager Luo, you want a rematch? Do you know how difficult and crazy that would be?”
The reason the production team had agreed to some of Tianle Media’s conditions was that there were benefits.
But this time, Tianle Media’s request seemed somewhat unreasonable.
The third episode ended on a perfect note.
They had prepared for many emergencies since it was the first public performance.
Mu Ye challenging Si Fuqing was beyond their expectations.
Fortunately, it was resolved smoothly and even elevated the popularity of the performance.
The producer was now very grateful to Si Fuqing.
“Here’s the thing, Manager Luo, as you should know, a public performance and edited recording are entirely different,” said the producer, lighting a cigarette. “What was performed is what it is; there’s no way to save it through editing.”
“Your request for a rematch is even more impossible. Our show only has ten episodes. This isn’t a sports game where a referee’s error could lead to a
rematch. How could we possibly do that?”
The call ended, and the producer was visibly irate, taking an aggressive puff on his cigarette.
The director sighed, “Old pal, this show is getting increasingly difficult to produce. The pressure from above is immense, and then there’s Tianle Media.
It’s quite a headache.”
“We’re only on the third episode; we’ve got seven more to go,” the producer said, massaging his temples. “I just hope we can finish smoothly.”
After a moment of thought, he added, “Tomorrow, let’s replace all the equipment in Dance Room 2. If Si Fuqing has any requirements, let’s meet them all.”
The director nodded, “Whether we can raise the show’s popularity further depends on her now.”
Si Fuqing had indeed become a valuable asset, and they needed to handle her with care.
The next morning, the trainees woke up early for practice, as usual.
Upon Si Fuqing’s arrival, Xu Xiyun nervously approached her, staring at her without saying a word.
Si Fuqing was flipping through some documents and didn’t look up. “What is it? Let it out if you’ve got something to say.”
Xu Xiyun scratched his head, “Isn’t ‘let it out’ describing a fart ?”
Xie Yu leisurely walked by to grab a cup, “Because what you’re saying is basically fart. ”
Xu Xiyun:
He couldn’t believe Brother Xie had just used foul language!
“Teacher Si, it’s just that…” Xu Xiyun stammered, “The next episode will announce the candidates who advance and the second round of mentor assignments, right?”
“Mhmm,” Si Fuqing looked up, “Worried about being eliminated? You’ll know your rankings later today.”
“No, no,” Xu Xiyun said softly, “When the class under Teacher Si gets bigger, will you still have time to teach me?”
After all, both mentors and trainees had a say in their selection.
“More?” Si Fuqing rested her chin on her hand and raised an eyebrow, “Just the six of you; how is that ‘more?”
Xu Xiyun was taken aback, “But many will surely choose Teacher Si later on.”
Si Fuqing’s capabilities had already been demonstrated, and her popularity had easily surpassed Lin Qingyan’s.
The trainees knew who would be the best choice.
Xu Xiyun could already foresee how many trainees would choose Si Fuqing in the upcoming mentor-trainee selection.
“Oh, no need,” Si Fuqing stretched languidly, “I don’t have time to teach. You six are already exhausting me..”
