269 Chapter 269. Interview Session
A group of young trainees in their teens and twenties was mesmerized, and some even forgot to blink.
Ding Shan smiled at them, and a few boys’ hearts suddenly sped up, and their faces turned red.
Wen Xiu’s eyes also revealed a bit of infatuation. He quickly walked to Ding Shan’s side and softly said, “Hello, Miss. Ding. Are you here to check the results of our practice?”
Ding Shan glanced at Wen Xiu. Seeing that Wen Xiu had such a strong desire to perform in front of the camera, a mysterious smile flashed across her eyes. Then, she nodded gently. “I’ll check it later. You guys can practice first. I’ll go and have a chat with the instructor.”
!!
Although the Festival team had invited five coaches, they were all celebrities with high status. Each of them had their work to deal with. The Festival team was too thick-skinned to let the five coaches teach more than a hundred trainees.
Therefore, the Festival team had also arranged for instructors for each team to help the trainees learn more quickly. However, the instructors were only responsible for technical guidance and could not control the trainees. The ones who could handle the trainees were still the Coaches.
Ding Shan chatted with the instructor and understood most of the team members’ basic level, strengths, weaknesses, and learning progress.
After she thanked the instructor, she took out the observation record book she had written in the observation room and read out one of the names.
The first one to be called was a very introverted trainee. After his name was called, everyone’s eyes turned to him. He was so nervous that his legs were shaking, and his mind was blank.
Ding Shan smiled helplessly. “Don’t be nervous; I will not beat you up. Come out for a moment; let’s have a chat.”
Ding Shan and the first trainee who was called out walked out. The group of trainees in the classroom immediately exploded when they saw the two of them walk out. Everyone was a little nervous and scared.
“Oh my God, why does this sound like the time when our form teacher called for someone to go out and have a chat? This is too scary!”
“I heard that the instructors saw our performance in the observation room this morning. I guess Miss Ding is dissatisfied with the performance of some people.”
“I didn’t slack off in the morning, so my name shouldn’t be called, right? I’m so nervous, but it’s not bad to be able to talk to Miss Ding. I guess I’ll only have the chance to talk to a big star like Miss Ding in this variety show in my life.”
…
Everyone was in a heated discussion. Wen Xiu lowered his head. His thoughts were different from the nervous trainees. He hoped that Ding Shan would call him out for a chat. That way, he would have the opportunity to be alone with Ding Shan.
Ding Shan was a teacher and he was a trainee. There was a considerable gap between their statuses. Although he was confident that he could make Ding Shan like him, he needed to have the opportunity to get close to Ding Shan. Otherwise, they would not even be able to talk, and Ding Shan would not have a deep impression of him.
Wen Xiu’s eyes flickered, and he made up his mind.
If Ding Shan didn’t look for him later, he had to find a reason to talk to Ding Shan alone.
Ding Shan chatted with the trainee outside the training room for about five minutes. She looked at the information in her hand and said, “You said that you’re not used to being here, but Zhou Dong, time is of the essence. There’s not much time left to adapt slowly to the environment. You’re good at singing, but you didn’t go to the dance group to practice in the morning and afternoon. Do you want to give up on dancing? During the evaluation, even if you score high marks in the music section, if you can’t do well in the dance section, the teachers won’t show you any mercy. Do you understand?”
The trainee named Zhou Dong lowered his head and trembled like a frightened quail.
Ding Shan sighed. “Even if it’s for your sister’s sake, you should give yourself the courage to break through. ”
Zhou Dong raised his head abruptly, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Zhou Dong didn’t participate in the show entirely for himself. He had a sister who had been seriously ill since she was young. To treat his sister’s illness, the family had no savings.
Therefore, Zhou Dong decided to participate in this show. If he had the chance to become famous or become a Taoist, he might be able to earn money to treat his sister’s illness.
However, Zhou Dong was very introverted and would usually blush when talking to others. After joining the Ding Shan battle team, he had barely spoken to anyone. If this continued, Zhou Dong would not get any good results in his first review.
Hearing Ding Shan mention his sister, Zhou Dong’s eyes gradually turned red after recovering from his shock.
