    In the next few days, Jing Wen trained with the big pinch mark on his right cheek.

    Haidie gloated: “It’s okay to tell you to talk nonsense.”

    Jing Wen said calmly: “It’s nothing, it doesn’t hurt.”

    Qiao Qiao sneered: “It doesn’t hurt. Since you’re about to go on stage, I didn’t try hard.”

    Jing Wen: “…”

    Haidie was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she poked him: “Did you suddenly feel that it was good to be unable to speak for a while?”

    Jing Wen simply turned his head to the other side this time.

    The three of them were on a bus at the moment. Because the draft would last for less than half a month, they had to live in a venue prepared by the organizer before the game and conduct closed training while competing.

    Besides them, there were two other teams on the bus, with a total of 11 players. Qiao Qiao’s team was the smallest and the shabbiest. So shabby that at first the driver thought they were passers-by and kindly reminded them that this was a special bus and not everyone could get on.

    The car has been driving for nearly an hour, and the scenery outside the window has changed from high-rise buildings to green trees and blue skies, and the competition venue has finally arrived.

    After getting off the bus, the three of them followed the signs and walked toward the dormitory. Buses arrived one after another along the way. The handsome men and women got off the bus chatting and laughing. Compared with them, Qiao Qiao and the others looked like they were fleeing, carrying snakeskin bags.

    “Isn’t that too exaggerated? That man was dragging four suitcases!” Haidie’s eyes widened. “How can a grown man have so much luggage to carry?”

    Qiao Qiao: “… He actually has more luggage than the three of us combined.”

    The three of them worked hard to find their own dormitory, which was a three-bedroom apartment. For the convenience of competition and communication, the organizers basically arranged for the instructors and contestants to live together.Qiao Qiao thought of that little boy band and wondered if there were suitable dormitories for so many of them.

    After settling in, the organizer informed all the instructors to go to the studio for a meeting, and Qiao Qiao left temporarily.

    She came back an hour later, but mostly with bad news.

    “Why is it that the competition system is changed at the drop of a hat like a child’s play?” Haidie said in a muffled voice, “Isn’t this a fucking joke?”

    Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly: “The organizer means to give the contestants a little surprise. Also, Hai Die, you have to control your expression. The camera crew will come in tomorrow to take pictures.”

    Haidie: “Why don’t you tell Xiaowen?”

    Qiao Qiao: “Does he still need to say it? He doesn’t have any expression at all. He is the least likely to be caught in ugly photos.”

    Haidie: “…”

    Jing Wen came to his senses slowly and looked at Qiao Qiao in confusion: “What?”

    Qiao Qiao touched his head happily: “It’s okay, just keep doing it.”

    She changed the subject: “Let me introduce to you the competition system first. The entire competition lasts for 15 days. Each person competes in three games. Half of the people are eliminated in each game. Only the top 10 in the last game are eligible to debut.”

    Haidie said dullly: “How many players are there in total?”

    Qiao Qiao smiled: “About a hundred.”

    Haidie: “That means only 25 people have the chance to enter the third round.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Well, you are in danger.”

    Haidie looked hopeless.

    Qiao Qiao took a pen and paper and wrote three words: “The first round is an intra-group competition. The director team has given three major categories: Vocal, Rap, and Dance. Each contestant must choose a group to join. The first round of the competition is a competition with your group.”

    Jing Wen: “I am Vocal.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Well, what about you, Haidie?”

    Vocal is the vocal group. If Hai Die joins this group, he will have to compete with many professional singers, but if he joins the Rap group, the songs he creates will be useless.

    Haidie thought for a while and smiled bitterly: “I’ll stick with Rap. I can still hold on for a while. If it were the Vocal group, I would definitely win in the first round.”

    “But your song…”

    “We’ll talk about it later. The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge.” Haidie really wanted to sail.

    There is no other good way. Qiao Qiao can only pray that the average strength of the Rap group is not too strong and leave room for Haidie to pass the test.

    The first intra-group match was three days later. The pace of this match was very fast. Qiao Qiao had no time to think about anything else. Although the bed was as hard as a brick, she quickly fell asleep.

    Early the next morning in the restaurant, Qiao Qiao saw the terrifying momentum of the filming crew entering the scene. There were more than a dozen cameras, not including various small handheld devices. One instructor and one camera was the minimum standard. If you are more clever or popular, there may be four or five cameras following you at the same time.

    Although Hai Die was experienced on stage, she was still a little nervous facing so many cameras. Jing Wen, on the other hand, acted very calmly and continued to eat what was on his plate unhurriedly.

    However, Qiao Qiao suspected that he was simply slow.

    After breakfast, the three of them came to the studio. Today each contestant will shoot a short Vlog to introduce themselves as their first appearance in this competition.

    The organizer was not responsible for the styling, so Hai Die and Jing Wen wore their own clothes. Before going out, Qiao Qiao thought they were very smart and handsome. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the scene, they discovered that it was the Eight Immortals who crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, with all kinds of weird and weird styles, but Jing Wen and Hai Die looked ordinary and ordinary.

    But there are so many handsome guys…

    Qiao Qiao looked from left to right. Although he knew that there were makeup and styling blessings, the average appearance of the contestants this time was still quite high.

    The shooting took place in a studio. The contestants went in one by one and each had about five minutes. Those who didn’t take their turn waited outside.Because there were so many people, there were not enough chairs in the studio, so most people could only stand.Qiao Qiao observed secretly and found that although the different teams were clearly divided, they still maintained a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and occasionally some people joked.

    But…

    She looked at a team standing tall in the corner – what’s going on with these people?

    There are a total of eight people in this team. The instructor is a beautiful long-haired woman. Each of the seven members is about 1.8 meters tall. They wear team uniforms with the same color but slightly different styles. They stand neatly in line and look intently.Some contestants tried to strike up a conversation, but none of them responded. The person who struck up the conversation was asking for trouble, and gradually no one came over.

    “That’s Xiao Shuyi’s team.” She heard the people next to her chatting with their friends, “It’s so awesome, they won in terms of momentum.”

    “Not only are they impressive, I heard that they are also very strong. They are the favorite team to win this year.”

    “Which company is it from?”

    “A century of beauty.”

    As soon as Qiao Qiao heard these four words, he couldn’t help but glance sideways at them.

    “Wow, it’s nice to have a big company behind you.”

    “That’s not all. I heard that Xiao Shuyi is also related to Xiao Manyu from WAWA. WAWA is one of the organizers, right?”

    “Yes, their surname is Xiao.”

    “…”

    What followed was some boring gossip, and Qiao Qiao stopped listening to it.

    However, if Xiao Shuyi and Xiao Manyu are really related, Qiao Qiao must be careful.Xiao Manyu is not a mentor and cannot participate directly, but there is no guarantee that she will not kill someone with a borrowed knife.

    By the afternoon, most of the teams had finished filming. Jing Wen and Hai Die were tired and hungry from waiting, but the staff didn’t let anyone leave, so everyone could only continue to wait.

    After finally queuing up to Haidie, he came out a few minutes after entering the studio. Qiao Qiao asked what was going on, and Haidie said he didn’t know, and he left after the people inside told him to leave.

    Qiao Qiao stood up calmly, “Just wait!”

    She turned around and rushed into the studio. The photographer was debugging the equipment. Qiao Qiao got straight to the point: “Why did my team member’s Vlog only last four minutes? Wasn’t it five minutes per person?”

    “There is no rule to shoot for five minutes. We can stop when we think the material is enough.” The person on the other side said unhurriedly, “If you don’t believe it, you can change the rule. It is written that it is an average of five minutes per person.”

    “Then why are you compressing my team members’ time!”

    “He has no highlights, and it would be a waste to take pictures. Why not save some time? We also want to get off work early.”

    Qiao Qiao endured it and left without saying anything.

    After a while, Jing Wen went in, but it turned out that he didn’t last as long as Hai Die. He came out in just three minutes. Qiao Qiao was completely shocked and opened the door with a bang: “You have to give me an explanation why Jing Wen’s Vlog only lasts three minutes!”

    “The camera feel is not good,”

    “Does he have bad camera skills?” Qiao Qiao grabbed Jing Wen and pinched his chin to show the photographer, “Do you think this face still needs camera skills? He didn’t have to do anything and it looked like a painting, but you only took the photo for three minutes? Do you think I’m a fool or a blind man?”

    The photographer’s face turned green and red, because Qiao Qiao was right. Even if Jing Wen had no expression on his face, he was still a top-notch pale face. There was really no reason to only give him that little time.

    But even if she was reasonable, she couldn’t influence other people’s decisions. If the photographer said he wouldn’t take the picture, it was Jing Wen who pulled her and told her to forget it.

    Qiao Qiao swallowed his anger and returned to the dormitory, feeling aggrieved and unable to express his anger.

    Haidie was having fun in her misery: “Forget it, I think there is another one who was kicked out after two minutes of filming. We are pretty good.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Can we go to the directing team?”

    Haidie: “Goodbye, it’s not worth it to be punished for such a trivial matter. Besides, there are still more than ten days to go.”

    What he said makes sense. The two things that should not be offended in the studio are the lighting and the camera. There are so many ways to trick you, and they are all underhanded tricks.
