Dad, Please Let Me Unconditionally Support You!

The contestants looked at the unlucky Chu Yuanqing and couldn't help but gloat inwardly:

"She's so bad, did she really never learn any vocal training?"

"Purely a white voice, her popularity must be purely based on luck."

"With no foundation in dancing or singing, saying she's competing for her dream, doesn't that sound ridiculous?"

"She was so arrogant and full of herself yesterday, and this is her skill level? I bet she knew she couldn't win on skill, so she deliberately put on an act on stream to gain fans. How calculating."

Time ticked by, drop by drop.

Although Chu Yuanqing didn't slack off and honestly displayed her true skill level, her vocal foundation, which was close to zero, still caused her to be interrupted and rejected repeatedly, forcing her to sing again.

And after being interrupted by Zhao Dapan for the eighth time, The joy in the girl's heart reached its peak, and even her gaze towards Zhao Dapan became kind.

Hooray! Most viewers of talent shows are fans of strength. No one will like an idiot who can't even sing a simple song well. Won't elimination be a sure thing now?

Zhao Dapan felt a pang of guilt under her gaze. Just as he was about to apply pressure, it got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.

It was a known fact among the mentors that Chu Yuanqing had no vocal foundation and sang very poorly.

In fact, he chose Chu Yuanqing precisely because he wanted to exploit the huge flaw of her popularity not matching her skill, so that when it was exposed later in the show, it would stir up more drama and controversy, making Flash Dance even more prosperous.

Although the essence of doing so was to prioritize the show's interests, rather than directly intending malice towards Chu Yuanqing, being stared at by her watery eyes at this moment made him feel a sudden pang of conscience and a tightness in his chest.

This was incredible.

Zhao Dapan had been in the Chinese Entertainment Industry for many years. Theoretically, he shouldn't be hit by good looks anymore, let alone have a change of heart or be deeply moved.

Or rather, the emotions he was experiencing now were more akin to the unease of desecrating a sacred place, or even guilt.

Zhao Dapan suddenly understood Chen Baijiu's private complaints from before.

Chu Yuanqing did indeed possess a kind of sacredness that could not be desecrated.

Although it was as plain as water, it carried a clear and majestic presence as it went down.

But even though he sensed it, his emotions still couldn't be alleviated. Zhao Dapan could only silently adopt a gentler method of interruption and began to teach her earnestly, frequently and accurately pointing out the flaws in her singing.

Chu Yuanqing felt a little ashamed.

With the vocal coach teaching her so diligently, if she couldn't learn it, wouldn't she be taking up public resources and wasting the training time of other trainees?

After all, the second evaluation was a crucial juncture that determined the fate of the trainees present.

Chu Yuanqing wanted to be eliminated, but only if it didn't affect others.

With this thought, she entered the [Flow State].

Chu Yuanqing's brain worked at high speed, using the rudimentary music theory knowledge she had crammed in last night to temporarily compile an analytical database for performance calculations, seamlessly parsing the suggestions made by the mentor.

The girl wholeheartedly accepted and learned, like a sponge absorbing water, drawing experience again and again, doing her best to adjust her breathing and pitch, striving for a better performance in the next re-sing.

The efficiency of this understanding and the speed of real-time feedback were quite astonishing.

Unfortunately, [Flow State] was not omnipotent.

Chu Yuanqing had only undergone one vocal training session. Her throat, the root of her tongue, her pharyngeal wall, the edges of her vocal cords, and even her zygomatic muscles had not formed any muscle memory.

This gap in hardware and knowledge caused her progress to hit a subtle bottleneck, making it impossible for the contestants to notice the slight changes immediately.

Zhao Dapan was greatly shocked. With his many years of experience in the industry, he could easily tell what was going on with her. The eyes hidden behind his sunglasses became even more fervent.

This was a true piece of Unpolished Jade!

Firstly, Chu Yuanqing had a highly recognizable voice.

This was especially important for a girl group. How to showcase one's unique characteristics and memorable points among numerous members was a problem that every member needed to consider.

Secondly, her psychological quality was extremely strong. After repeated interruptions, she could immediately accept her shortcomings and continue singing while maintaining her composure. Such a calm performance, just like her initial stage performance, was a rare trait of a big-hearted contestant.

Finally, Chu Yuanqing's musicality was actually so good?!

No wonder, no wonder she was able to display the rhythm that Chen Baijiu praised in her initial evaluation.

For a novice, scales were a very vague and abstract concept, but she could almost grasp the correct answer purely by intuition.

If it weren't for the severe lack of some necessary training, leading to hardware issues, teaching her the song candy would have been completely without difficulty.

Zhao Dapan's eyes lit up with excitement, and he became more enthusiastic as he taught.

And after repeated interruptions and guidance, Chu Yuanqing finally managed to stumble through the entire song candy.

During this time, the other contestants also realized something was wrong.

Normally, during demonstrations and assessments, they would only give three or four chances for a single line.

Chu Yuanqing had been interrupted so many times, yet the mentor hadn't asked her to be replaced. This meant she was either a favored contestant or truly had something special.

And soon, Zhao Dapan stopped instructing and asked her to sing it from beginning to end again.

Chu Yuanqing's singing style was still immature and clumsy.

However, the serious off-key notes, incorrect vocalization, wrong breathing, pronunciation of words and phrases, and a series of other minor and major flaws had almost all been corrected and improved. For the first time, her highly recognizable voice was able to showcase its advantages, making the entire song sound quite pleasant.

At the same time, The expressions of the other trainees in the room changed subtly.

While Chu Yuanqing's singing wasn't exactly amazing, it was a significant improvement compared to when she first started. The entire process, if edited into the show, would make for a perfectly inspiring "start low, end high" narrative.

Damn! How is this person improving so fast? Is she cheating?!

Book Title: The Trash of the Count's Family

Volume 1: 50. Recorded. I'll use it when I get back.

Zhao Dapan couldn't help but clap in praise after hearing her.

He couldn't help but sigh that it wasn't without reason that the film empress Luo Siling wanted to poach Chu Yuanqing after watching her initial assessment stage.

To be honest, as a musician who had independently founded a studio.

An Unpolished Jade like Chu Yuanqing, who possessed excellent image, talent, mindset, and personality, was someone he found hard not to want to sign and nurture.

Zhao Dapan genuinely praised:

"Although you haven't reached my standards yet, your progress is very fast, especially in terms of your voice and musicality. You possess unique talent in both aspects. I believe your weak foundation in vocal training won't be an obstacle to your progress."

"I personally look forward to your future development. If in the future..."

Zhao Dapan almost blurted out a job offer.

But the terrifying smile of the Dream Weaver Rabbit suddenly flashed in his mind, causing him to stop abruptly. He glanced guiltily at the camera mounted nearby, coughed a few times, and signaled Chu Yuanqing to step down.

Although the head mentor said that low-ranked trainees didn't have the right to broadcast live, low-level practice rooms actually did broadcast live.

The difference was that the broadcast time was very random.

How long it would broadcast and when it would start depended entirely on its mood.

Even Zhao Dapan, as a mentor, didn't know if it was currently broadcasting. If he accidentally said something that couldn't be edited, the liquidated damages would likely deduct his entire salary.

At the same time, the nano-cameras in the room silently rotated in the air, floating with the wind like dust motes, as if to corroborate Zhao Dapan's guilt.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit sat upright in the underground central hub, quietly enjoying Chu Yuanqing's singing. Data streams frantically calculated within its scarlet eyes, and the curve of its lips grew more joyful.

As it turned out, the practice room where Chu Yuanqing was located had long been noticed by this super AI, and the broadcast had even been opened to the public shortly after the class began.

At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were still immersed in the singing, unable to extricate themselves:

"Qing Bao's voice is so nice, so gentle, so fragrant, and a little cold. It's replaying in my ears, it's so seductive?!"

"Hehehe, I was going to scold Zhao Dapan for making trouble for my Qing Bao for no reason, but since I can hear Qing Bao's voice more, I'll reluctantly spare him from being torn apart by five horses."

"Recorded. I'll use it when I get back."

"Qing Bao is so serious, so hardworking, so cute, and improving so fast. I'm looking forward to her wearing a little skirt and dancing!"

"I can already imagine what BGM will be used for this clip when it's edited into the show. Qing Bao is truly talented. I'm looking forward to the upcoming dance class!"

"Damn, random live broadcasts are too much of a hassle! But what's wrong with staying up 24 hours for Qing Bao?"

"Yeah, it's a shame the broadcast can't be recorded or edited. To avoid receiving a lawyer's letter from Flash Dance, I can only reluctantly give up this footage for now."

Achoo.

Chu Yuanqing sneezed softly, a shiver running through her body as if she'd been electrocuted. Like a small animal, she warily scanned her surroundings, feeling as though something terrifying was staring at her.

The dual surveillance of the livestream and the Dream Weaver Rabbit had clearly made the retired Savior uneasy.

Meanwhile, The other trainees were on edge, as jumpy as if every rustle of leaves were an enemy.

No, we absolutely can't let Chu Yuanqing hog all the camera time!

These beautiful, youthful girls, in the span of a lightning-fast thought, each decided on the best course of action.

They turned almost in unison towards Chu Yuanqing as she walked back, flashing sweet, admiring, and surprised smiles, and softly praised her:

"Wow, Yuanqing, you're improving so fast!"

"Yeah, I was worried about you earlier, but you're handling it so smoothly. That's amazing."

"Qingqing, you really haven't studied singing before? I feel like you're so talented, I'm jealous."

"Qingqing, aren't you nervous? Teacher Zhao interrupted you so many times. If it were me, I would have been so nervous I'd be crying."

The girls naturally drew closer, their smiles shrinking the distance between them and creating a visual impression of close friendship.

Yes, this tactic of sticking together – to attract the camera, build their image, assert their presence, and divert the audience's attention – was a plan the eight contestants, unwilling to be mere background extras, had telepathically agreed upon!

Chu Yuanqing had many fans, performed well, and improved rapidly.

It was better not to offend someone like that. Any negative thoughts could be kept to themselves. Even competing directly against her seemed like a losing battle. It was better to sacrifice a pawn to save the king and achieve victory through a flanking maneuver.

After all, Kiriwake Yayoi had used her CP with Chu Yuanqing to crush the big boss and secure the theme song that suited her best.

In other words, creating a CP with Chu Yuanqing was a visible path to fortune!

—Why wouldn't we milk this for all it's worth?

Don't let their earlier schadenfreude fool you; they were constantly looking for opportunities to get on the gravy train of CP-fandom.
