“Poor vocal range, no talent, go back to school, next one.”
“Overacted singing, unnecessary movements, better suited for acting.”
“Good song, but ruined by the voice, not fit to be a singer, maybe work behind the scenes, next one.”
In the recording studio of Girl Idol, everyone held their breath, listening to the emotionless critiques of the young judge, hearts pounding.
It had been an hour, and among over a dozen contestants, not one had received praise from this “senior.” All had received negative reviews.
His critiques were brief but hit the mark, making it hard for anyone to refute.
The contestants couldn’t help but doubt themselves – were they really that terrible?

“Haha, Teacher Xu, you don’t know, Xiao Fei is just like that – serious, responsible, and principled. That’s why he was able to gain such a die-hard fan following even after being away from the public for so long. I think these students are just too sensitive. If they can’t take a few words of criticism, how will they ever face the ups and downs of the entertainment industry?”
As the mood maker of the group, Zhao Xinrong immediately stepped in to mediate. Once he spoke, the tension in the room eased somewhat.
Zhao Xinrong looked towards Zhou Zhengru, signaling him to speak up.
Zhou Zhengru, in his thirties, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, perfectly fitting the traditional standard of a handsome man. He was particularly stunning in ancient costumes, and being a young actor, he was already the pillar of the film industry
