Chapter 49: Wow, Is This Person Cheating?

Chu Yuanqing planned a perfect escape route in her mind, almost bursting into laughter.

On the surface,

The girl looked serious and focused, adjusting her breathing. Following Zhao Dapan’s cue, she earnestly started singing.

After just a few lines, she already caught the attention of the other competitors.

Damn, turns out she wasn’t being modest on stage, she really can’t sing!

Zhao Dapan coughed a few times and quietly interrupted:

"Wrong pitch, start again."

Chu Yuanqing felt a slight joy in her heart and tried again.

Zhao Dapan lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, frowned, and interrupted:

"No, try again, pitch is off."

Chu Yuanqing looked serious, undisturbed, feeling the plan was very successful, and with a great mindset continued singing.

Before long, she faced the vocal coach’s disapproval again, amidst the looks of the other trainees, some sympathetic and some mocking:

"Have you never learned to sing? It’s still not right, this time lower by a half pitch!"

The atmosphere in the room became more tense.

This is the fourth interruption in a row.

You see, performing in front of competitors and mentors’ repeated criticism can be incredibly stressful for the singer in the spotlight, feeling like facing a harsh and pressurizing environment.

This intense pressure can gradually overwhelm a person, leading to a constant sense of failure and greatly impacting the competitor’s confidence, making it easier to make mistakes in their performance, creating a vicious cycle that results in a complete breakdown.

Even the other competitors watching nearby couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Even though they thought they sang much better than Chu Yuanqing, they weren’t confident they could meet Zhao Dapan’s expectations. If they didn’t correct their flaws quickly, the subsequent interruptions could easily lead to embarrassment.

If they couldn’t keep their composure, a disastrous scene could easily unfold.

However…

Because of Chu Yuanqing’s words yesterday, portraying herself as superior and morally high, she dragged down the Grade C competitors sitting nearby and made them appear inferior and even superficial.

So now,

These contestants couldn’t help but rejoice in their hearts as they looked at the unlucky Chu Yuanqing:

"She’s so bad, did she really never learn any vocal music?"

"Completely tone-deaf, the popularity must be purely luck."

"No foundation in dance or vocal music, competing for a dream, isn’t it laughable?"

"Yesterday acting all high and mighty, but ended up at this level. Probably knew couldn’t compete with real talent, so deliberately staged herself in the live broadcast to attract fans, quite cunning."

Time passed slowly.

Although Chu Yuanqing did not pretend and honestly showed her true abilities, her almost zero foundation in vocal music still led her to be interrupted and denied each time, having to restart her performance.

Since being interrupted by Zhao Dapan for the eighth time,

The girl felt extremely happy, and even her gaze towards Zhao Dapan softened.

Yes! Most of the audience on talent shows are fans of strong performers. The dummies who can’t even sing well will definitely not be loved. Eliminating them will be a piece of cake!

Zhao Dapan felt his heart skip a beat under that gaze, the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

Chu Yuanqing had no vocal training and sang very poorly, a fact known to all mentors.

In fact, by choosing Chu Yuanqing, he wanted to take advantage of her mismatched popularity and huge flaws, so that later in the show, more excitement and controversy would be stirred up, making "Dazzling Stage" even more successful.

Even though the essence of his actions were for the benefit of the show, not with direct malice towards Chu Yuanqing, at that moment, being stared at by her teary eyes, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt and a heavy heart.

This was very unbelievable.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Zhao Dapan should not have been shocked by just a handsome face, let alone a sudden burst of conscience and emotional turmoil.

Alternatively, the emotions he was feeling now were more like a sense of unease and guilt, almost like desecrating a sacred place.

Suddenly, Zhao Dapan understood what Chen Baijiu had complained about in private before.

There was a sense of sacredness on Chu Yuanqing that should not be disrespected.

Though plain like water, it carried a refreshing sense of dignity as it went down the throat.

Even though he could sense that his emotions couldn’t be relieved, Zhao Dapan could only gently interrupt and earnestly teach, frequently pointing out the flaws in the other person’s singing.

Chu Yuanqing was feeling a bit ashamed.

With the vocal teacher teaching so diligently, if she still couldn’t learn, wouldn’t that mean she was using public resources and wasting the training time of the other trainees?

You see, the secondary rating determines an important point in the fate of the trainees present.

Chu Yuanqing wanted to be eliminated, but only if it didn’t affect others.

With this in mind, she entered the "Heart Flow."

Chu Yuanqing’s brain raced as she quickly put together a calculation analysis based on the music theory she had learned the night before, seamlessly connecting the advice given by her insightful tutor.

The girl wholeheartedly accepted and learned, like a sponge absorbing water, repeatedly gaining experiences, diligently adjusting her breathing and scales, striving to perform better in the next singing session.

The efficiency of this understanding, and the speed of immediate feedback, can be considered quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, "Heart Flow" is not a cure-all.

Chu Yuanqing had only undergone one vocal training session, with no muscle memory formed in her throat, tongue base, pharyngeal wall, vocal cord edges, or even her smiling muscles.

This gap in hardware and knowledge blind spots caused her progress to hit a subtle bottleneck, preventing the other contestants from immediately noticing the small changes.

Zhao Dapan was greatly impressed, drawing on his years of experience in the industry, easily discerning the situation of the other party, as the eyes hidden behind the sunglasses became increasingly passionate.

This is a true gemstone!

Firstly, Chu Yuanqing possesses a voice with a unique recognition factor.

It’s especially important in a girl group to show your uniqueness and memorable points among many members, and this is something that every member needs to think about.

Also, she has a very strong mentality. Despite being interrupted several times, she can immediately accept her mistakes and continue singing without losing her composure. This calm performance, just like her debut stage, is a rare quality in a contestant.

Can you believe how good Chu Yuanqing’s sense of rhythm is?!

No wonder she received Chen Baijiu’s praise for her rhythm in the debut evaluation.

For beginners, understanding musical scales can be a vague and abstract concept, but she almost instinctively grasps the right answers.

If she hadn’t lacked some necessary training, causing technical issues, learning the song "Candy" would have been completely effortless for her.

Zhao Dapan was delighted with her progress and became more enthusiastic about teaching her.

With continuous interruptions and guidance,

Chu Yuanqing finally managed to finish singing "Candy" stumbling a bit along the way.

During this time, the other participants also realized that something was wrong.

During the normal demonstration and testing, each person would only be given three or four chances to sing a sentence at most.

Even though Chu Yuanqing was interrupted many times and was not asked by the coach to change partners, it shows that she either has royal blood or truly has something special.

Soon after, Zhao Dapan stopped guiding her and made her sing the whole thing again from the beginning.

Chu Yuanqing’s singing style still sounded immature and clumsy.

However, the various problems such as being off-key, incorrect vocalization, breathing errors, and enunciating words were almost all corrected and improved. This made her highly distinctive voice show its advantages for the first time, making the whole song sound quite nice.

At the same time,

The expressions of the other trainees in the room all underwent subtle changes.

Although Chu Yuanqing’s singing wasn’t fantastic, compared to the beginning, it was definitely a remarkable improvement. The entire process, if edited into the program, would be a motivational script of rising from challenges.

Wow! How can this person improve so quickly? Are they cheating?!
