288 Chapter 288. Class Allocation
The trainees present were silent for two seconds. Then, several members of the Mysterious X team immediately applauded fiercely, and then the crowd applauded.
“This must be a genius! I couldn’t believe he could perform so well without any acting experience after only five days of training. Sigh, I’m feeling a little disheartened. It seems that I’m not suitable for this job. I might as well go home and farm, hehe.”
“Don’t say that. There are nine places to step out of the way, so we all have a chance. Besides, I heard that the rankings after that will depend on the audience’s votes. Today, only the coaches are giving marks to everyone. In the future, whoever can step out of the way will still have to see the popularity of the audience.”
“What you said makes sense. Let’s continue to work hard. Even if we fail, it’s good to have more fans.”
…
Wen Xiu’s face turned pale when he heard that he was not in the top three.
According to his expectations, he should have been in the top three. If he performed well, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to get first place.
However, he did not know if it was because Mysterious X had affected his mentality and caused him not to perform well or if it was because of Mysterious X’s fantastic performance that his performance was too ordinary. The teachers did not praise his performance much. Only Chen Xi gave a more perfunctory comment, “Wen Xiu’s overall ability is powerful, and his stage style is also very mature.”
In the end, Wen Xiu obtained a sixth place, barely entering the top nine.
There were nine positions in the talent show, so the top nine were pre-selected candidates in the trainees’ hearts. The sixth place was already unattainable in many trainees’ spirits, but Wen Xiu was not satisfied!
He wasn’t interested in sixth place. For this kind of variety show, the audience would only remember the first place and the most dazzling person! The center position on stage also belonged to the most famous person! What was the sixth place? Was it a green leaf to set off others?
He didn’t want to be a green leaf!
After Li Yang announced the rankings, Ding Shan stood up and said, “The rankings have been announced. This will be your first evaluation since coming here. The instructors have stringent requirements, but I want to tell you that the competition in the market is even more brutal! I hope the ranked trainees won’t be proud and will continue working hard to become stronger. The trainees who are ranked lower also don’t be discouraged. You still have a chance to turn the tables. I hope you will work hard to become the dark horse that stunned everyone!”
Ding Shan’s words made the trainees’ blood boil. Everyone applauded fiercely, and Ding Shan’s words also inspired some of the people who were ranked very low, and their fighting spirit was reignited.
When Chen Tong saw that the Festival Group had asked Ding Shan to come out and make a summary speech, she was very unconvinced.
Why should this opportunity to be in the limelight be given to Ding Shan? She was also one of the five mentors, so why didn’t they choose her to do the closing speech?
Hmph, if the Festival Group didn’t give her a chance, she would fight for it herself!
Chen Tong took two steps forward and squeezed into Ding Shan’s side. She roared, “Mentor Ding Shan is right. This is only an evaluation. In the future, it will still depend on the audience’s votes. So, everyone must perform well in front of the camera, understand? ”
Seeing Chen Tong stand out and become the center of attention, Ding Shan felt helpless, but she was too lazy to argue with Chen Tong.
Just as she was about to leave, a staff member at the side suddenly handed her an envelope. Ding Shan was stunned for a moment before she opened the envelope and quickly read through it.
After Chen Tong was in the limelight, she was very proud and satisfied. The live director looked at her helplessly, but he didn’t dare to step forward and criticize her.
This made Chen Tong understand a principle: She had to fight for her opportunities. She and Ding Shan were both instructors, so why would she let Ding Shan be in the limelight? The Festival Group was biased towards Ding Shan, and so were the other coaches. If she didn’t fight for herself, she might not even get a shot in the end!
Chen Tong understood this and suddenly felt enlightened. She smiled and said to all the trainees, “Alright, everyone must be tired. Let’s go back and rest!”
“Wait a moment.”
Chen Tong was very unhappy to be interrupted. She frowned and looked at Ding Shan.
“The Festival Group has something to announce.” Ding Shan waved the envelope in her hand. Without even looking at Chen Tong’s ugly expression, she turned around and said to all the trainees, “After the rankings are confirmed, the program team is going to split everyone into four classes, A, B, C, and D. Nine people will be from Class A, and 13 people will be from Class B, ”
Following Ding Shan’s announcement, the trainees all started discussing.
The ranking was already cruel enough, and now they even had to divide into classes.
