255 Chapter 255. The First Lesson
“Why is it not possible? It’s just a gimmick by the Festival Group, and it might be forced in by the capital.” Wen Xiu laughed coldly. “This is a talent show. Only the most capable people will have the chance to shine. This person will be eliminated in the first round. Just wait and see!”
The trainees were all engaged in a heated discussion. When Ding Shan and Xiang Hong arrived, Ding Shan gave the students a curious and friendly smile and asked, “What are you guys talking about? Tell me about it so I can hear it. ”
After Ding Shan finished speaking, the trainees immediately turned to look at ‘Mysterious X’, who was standing next to Ding Shan. Their eyes were filled with embarrassment, curiosity, confusion, doubt, and other complicated emotions.
Ding Shan immediately understood what was going on. The trainees had been talking about Xiang Hong just now, and they were probably trying to guess his identity. Ding Shan also noticed that many people seemed to doubt the Mysterious Person X.
This couldn’t happen. Ding Shan hoped that her team would be a cohesive whole. She wouldn’t allow anyone to look down on and question their teammates from the start.
Ding Shan pondered for two seconds, and her expression gradually became serious.
She walked to the front of the trainees and said, “I’m guessing that everyone is very interested in our team’s Mysterious Person X and curious about his identity and strength. Like everyone else, I’m also looking forward to his performance in our team in the future. If we are in the same team, then other than being competitors, we’ll also be comrades fighting together.”
Seeing the trainees looking at her earnestly, Ding Shan continued, “So, I hope that everyone doesn’t have prejudices and stereotypes about a certain teammate from the beginning. Our team has all-rounders who are both good at singing and dancing, as well as newbies who have just started their training. This is an objective fact. Everyone is now standing on the same starting line and has to accept the choices of the five mentors and the audience. It was hard to say who would suddenly become a dark horse. You only need to give it your all and give your best performance to let the audience see your attitude and progress.”
Ding Shan didn’t make her words too blunt.
These young people still did not know the cruel side of the entertainment industry. Although strength was an essential part of this industry, many other complicated factors determined a person’s fate.
For example, capital, popularity, marketing methods, and so on. The entertainment industry was a vanity fair that did not exist.
She was only telling the trainees this to give them a heads-up.
The cruelty and horror of the entertainment industry would gradually be revealed to them in the next two months.
There was no point in scheming against each other. She wanted to remind them to seize the time to grow and improve so the audience could see their attitude and potential.
This was a cultivation variety show. The audience might not necessarily like the contestants who were already very strong. Some people were more interested in the newcomers or felt that the newcomers had more potential for development.
Therefore everyone’s starting point was the same. There was no need to feel a sense of superiority or disdain.
After Ding Shan finished speaking, the trainees looked at each other. Many of them had confused expressions on their faces, while many were deep in thought.
However, after listening to Ding Shan’s words, at least everyone’s disdain and contempt for those who were not as strong as they were decreased.
Many people realized the three main points in Ding Shan’s words: First, the other trainees around someone were also teammates, and they would have to perform together in the future. It was not right to treat them as competitors.
Second, the most important thing was to show off one’s advantages and potential in front of the camera and make the audience interested in him. After all, there were so many trainees participating in the show. Whoever could get the audience’s attention first would be able to surpass the others in advance.
Third, those who were not strong could also become the final dark horse.
After Ding Shan finished speaking, she waved to the trainees. “Alright, everyone, there’s no need to be so heavy-hearted. You’re already luckier than many people to have the opportunity to participate in this program. Even if some of you don’t have the chance to make it to the end, making the audience remember your names on this show will still greatly help your future professional careers. Everyone calm down. Let’s go to the training room first. The Festival Group will announce the next task.”
