Chapter 467 - Mr. Xixi

Chapter 467: Mr. Xixi

Without paying attention to Han Yan, Shen Xi insisted. “For today’s task, you are to watch the video to the theme song a hundred times!”

Shen Xi then took off.

That was right.

She left.

The girls stared at one another, at a loss of what to do.

The mentor was gone!

Even if Mr. Yun Xiao was only a mentor by name, he was still their mentor at the end of the day. What were they supposed to do without him?

Should they really do as they were told, which was to watch the video of the theme song a hundred times?

Seeing red, Han Yan stomped her foot. As a high schooler who was proud by nature, Han Yan was paralyzed to come across such a situation, especially when she was met with a room full of accusing eyes. She glared in retaliation and sulked. “I didn’t tell him to go.”

Why did she get the feeling that they were blaming her for driving Mr. Yun Xiao away? She was only asking a question in everyone’s mind. What did she do wrong?

This mentor did not deserve the time of her day, but Han Yan could not just call it quits. She planned to stick around to see what the hell Mr. Yun Xiao was up to!

The most level-headed of them all was surprisingly Ye Weiyang. She walked up to the cameraman, who was still in shock, and politely asked, “How are we going to watch the theme song music video?”

The cameraman had no clue all the same!

There was also an accompanying writer on-site working on coordination and script. However, there was no such thing as a script when it came to Shen Xi – the master of winging it. With nothing much to do on her hands, the writer gave Ye Weiyang the information she needed.

Each studio was equipped with a computer and projector, but the theme song music video would have to wait until it was delivered.

Ye Weiyang fiddled around with the computer and projector, trying to get it to work. The nearby trainees spectated without offering any help.

The writer went on to assist the collected and sensible girl. As someone who had seen it all, the writer had a hard time making any sense out of Mr. Yun Xiao, and yet the girl was able to keep a clear head.

She had never come upon such a situation throughout her writing career.

Mr. Yun Xiao was not exactly unaccountable since he did assign a task which was to study the music video a hundred times.

Nevertheless, no responsible person in their right mind would simply do just that. If it were according to their script, he should be getting a feel of the students’ capacity and watch the music video together before breaking the dance moves down for them.

The rumors were likely true. Mr. Yun Xiao was not a professional who could sing and dance. Hence, the reason why he could not coach the trainees.

The person delivering the music video was Gu Yang. The trainees were looking at him as if he was their savior. Puzzled by their mentor’s absence, Gu Yang inquired, “Where’s Mr. Yun Xiao?”

The trainees saw hope at last. However, they had their own intentions in mind. Despite having an ax to grind, no one was going to badmouth Mr. Yun Xiao behind his back while the camera was rolling.

“Mr. Yun Xiao’s gone.” Han Yan was the first to come forward.

“Where to?” Gu Yang ensued with another question.

Han Yan shook her head. “We don’t know.”

Refusing to go into detail, Han Yan stepped back and stood with the other trainees as she did not want all eyes to be on her. Gu Yang had no choice but to ask the cameraman.

The cameraman briefed him on the earlier incident.

Gu Yang was puzzled by Yun Xiao’s arrangement. Still, he handed the music video over to the girls and said, “Keep to Mr. Yun Xiao’s assignment and watch the music video.”

He would like to help these poor girls who were abandoned, but at the end of the day, he was not their mentor. Gu Yang was also cautious in nature. He did not want to step on any toes by getting involved before understanding where the other party was coming from.

The trainees muttered among themselves, wanting to call Gu Yang back and ask him how they should go about with practice. Alas, no one had the courage to speak up. In the end, they stood by and watched Gu Yang leave as their hearts sank to the pit of their stomachs.

Ye Weiyang had clicked on the music video to play. The title of the theme song, Invincible Youth, appeared dead center on the screen.

The crestfallen trainees looked as though they were given a death sentence. Crying in their beer, they spiritlessly watched the screen.

There was a deafening silence as if all hope was lost.

“Jesus Christ! Mr. Xixi! Mr. Xixi wrote and composed this song!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise as though they discovered the eighth wonder of the world.

The screams caught the attention of the other distracted girls. With another shriek echoing in the room, the trainees discussed the matter at length in disbelief.

“It’s not just the songwriting, but the choreography is also done by Mr. Xixi!”

“Is this really the same Mr. Xixi? Are you sure this is that mysterious talented composer? Oh my gawd! Many big names in the music scene are begging him to write a song for them. Even Mr. Gu Yang lamented to the media that he couldn’t meet with Mr. Xixi. It’s incredible the production crew got an in!”

“Bravo to the production crew, but don’t you forget that Mr. Xixi is from Cosmos Entertainment. Isn’t the sponsor of the show Cosmos Entertainment?”

“Still, that’s impressive of the production team. Why must Cosmos Entertainment put Yun Xiao into the show instead of Mr. Xixi?”

The girls turned it down when talking about Yun Xiao. After the initial joy and excitement, despair started to seep in.

The person dancing in the music video was Gu Yang. The sleek dance moves, paired with those good looks and that golden-ratioed figure, were just pure visual delight.

Although it was a girl-group dance, the choreography spoke of dynamic and limitless vigor. This was a dance not limited to any gender.

It had a catchy tune, passionate lyrics, and all the right dance moves. The music video was pure perfection with everything coming together.

Gu Yang may be the one dancing and singing in the video, but everyone knew the true hero behind the video was composer and choreographer, Xixi.

Mr. Xixi was a genius, be it music composition or dance choreography. There was no question about it.

The dance and song were beyond flawless, but Group F had nothing to be happy about. A cloud of gloom surrounded these trainees as they mourned for their upcoming destiny.

They were not going to be a part of this great piece of art. With Yun Xiao as their mentor, these trainees were destined to be eliminated in the first round.

As tension filled the studio with dead silence and despair, everyone appeared dejected, having lost all hope and direction.
