Chapter 50: Recorded, Will Use It Later
Zhao Dapan couldn’t help but applaud after listening to Chu Yuanqing’s performance. He marveled that after watching the preliminary stage, actress Luo Siling had a valid reason to want to take Chu Yuanqing away.
To be honest, as a musician who independently started his own studio, Zhao Dapan recognized that Chu Yuanqing possessed excellent image, talent, mindset, and personality. She truly seemed like a rare gem, and it was hard not to consider signing and nurturing her.
Zhao Dapan sincerely praised her:
“Although you haven’t yet reached my expectations, your progress has been rapid—especially in terms of vocal ability and musical sense. You have unique talents, and I believe that any weaknesses in your vocal foundation won’t hinder your future development.”
“I personally look forward to your prospects. If, in the future…”
Zhao Dapan was about to accidentally reveal the secret recruitment plan when suddenly, the terrifying smile of Dream Weaver Rabbit flashed in his mind. This made him stop abruptly. He nervously glanced at the camera nearby, then cleared his throat a few times, signaling for Chu Yuanqing to leave.
Although the head mentor had said that low-ranking players didn’t have permission to livestream, in reality, even the lower-level practice rooms could be broadcasted. The difference lay in the random opening times of the livestreams.
The duration and timing of the livestream depended on the system’s mood. Even Zhao Dapan, as a mentor, didn’t know if the livestream was currently active. If he accidentally said something that couldn’t be edited out, the penalty for breaching the contract might result in his salary being deducted.
Meanwhile, the nanocameras inside the room silently rotated in the air, drifting like dust in the wind—seemingly confirming Zhao Dapan’s uneasiness.
Down in the central hub, Dream Weaver Rabbit sat quietly, enjoying Chu Yuanqing’s singing while the data streams in its crimson eyes calculated furiously. Its smile grew wider.
It turned out that the super AI had been keeping an eye on the practice room where Chu Yuanqing was. The livestream had been open to the public shortly after the class began.
At that moment, the audience in the livestream was still deeply immersed in the singer’s voice and couldn’t pull themselves away.
“Hehe, I was initially going to scold Zhao Dapan for causing trouble for my Honey Qing, but I reluctantly decided not to punish him severely because I enjoyed listening to Honey Qing’s voice.”
“Recorded, will use it later.”
“I can already imagine what background music would go with this clip when it’s featured in the program. Honey Qing is truly talented. I’m looking forward to the dance class!”
“Argh, random live broadcasts are so frustrating! But it’s okay to wait around 24 hours just to watch Honey Qing!”
“Exactly, it’s a shame we can’t record or edit the live broadcast. To avoid receiving a legal letter from ‘Dazzling Stage,’ we have to reluctantly give up this footage for now.”
Ah Qiu.
Chu Yuanqing let out a quiet sneeze, feeling a tingling sensation, as if electric shocks ran through her whole body. She was alert like a small animal, sensing something terrifying was watching her.
The suspicious behavior of the livestream and the Dream Weaver Rabbit clearly alerted the retired savior to something not quite right.
At the same time, the other trainees were extremely nervous, on edge.
No, we can’t let Chu Yuanqing steal all the spotlight!
The beautiful young girls, each quick-thinking, decided on the best course of action. They all turned to look at Chu Yuanqing, showing admiration and surprise in their sweet smiles, quietly praising her:
“Wow, Yuanqing, you’ve improved so quickly!”
“Yes, I was worried about you earlier, but you handled it with such ease—amazing.”
“Qing Qing, have you really never had singing lessons? You seem so talented; I’m envious.”
“Qing Qing, aren’t you nervous? Mr. Zhao interrupted you so many times, I would’ve been on the verge of tears.”
The girls naturally moved closer, smiling as they drew near to each other, creating a visually friendly atmosphere.
Yes, the strategy of attracting attention, establishing characters, showcasing presence, and diverting the audience’s focus was a tactic that all eight contestants unanimously executed to avoid being overshadowed and fading into the background.
Chu Yuanqing has many fans, performs well, and improves quickly.
They would try to avoid offending someone like her, keeping any unpleasant thoughts to themselves. Engaging in direct competition with her would be more trouble than it’s worth. It was better to focus on being stylish and avoid unnecessary losses.
Look at Kirimi Miyuki—she gained the upper hand by creating a partnership with Chu Yuanqing, overpowering the Great Devil, and securing the theme song that suited her best.
In other words, forming a partnership with Chu Yuanqing was a visible way to gain wealth.
Shouldn’t we intensify the partnership with her?
Although everyone seemed to enjoy her misfortune earlier, they were constantly looking for opportunities to engage in the profitable path of forming partnerships.
If Chu Yuanqing failed, they would seize the chance to offer comfort and gain favor. Now that she hadn’t lost, she naturally wanted to boast! But for Chu Yuanqing, who just wanted to lay low and relax, this didn’t seem very friendly.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed the strangers around her instantly becoming familiar. She had only taken a few steps back, and she nearly got lost in the warm, fragrant crowd.
What’s going on? Are children nowadays all this friendly?
Little Shu is like this, Miyuki is like this, and you’re just the same!
Chu Yuanqing felt troubled. She carefully adjusted her steps, maintaining social distance from these people. Politely and distantly, she answered questions, trying hard to project a super cold and aloof attitude.
Unfortunately, because her face was so youthful, the coldness in her eyes and brows softened easily, making her look like a little adult. Even her serious replies had a touch of adorable seriousness.
These girls, who initially had selfish motives, were so charmed by her adorable demeanor during their exchanges that it dispelled the darkness in their hearts. Even their slightly tactful conversations began to evolve into more sincere exchanges.
So, the darling of the group, surrounded in the center like a gentle spring breeze, changed the dull atmosphere of the practice room into something lively.
Zhao Dapan liked the change in atmosphere and allowed the contestants to chat without rushing to call the next one.
The essence of talent shows is entertainment.
Wouldn’t it be boring if the audience only watched contestants train?
What the audience is really interested in is the clash between contestants and idols on this platform.
In Dazzling Stage, there are over a hundred beautiful girls—just imagine! There are countless aspects to explore, such as friendships, mother-daughter relationships, strong bonds, competition, and even abstract concepts.
The essence of this training segment is to give the audience a strong sense of growth.
Why did Zhao Dapan think Chu Yuanqing wouldn’t stop easily?
The main reason is that she can provide the audience with a strong sense of growth.
Can’t dance at all? Zero foundation in singing? Just entered the entertainment industry?
If that were all, she’d just be another plain contestant—amateurs are everywhere, nothing special.
But if you add in MAX beauty, MAX talent, MAX camera sense, and MAX stage attitude, then it’s a whole different story.
Chu Yuanqing is a rare gem in the nurturing system.
Players like her should be paired up more in Dazzling Stage. The more pairs, the more fans, the more rivalry, and the more twisted drama, making Sea City’s Dazzling Stage even more popular!
