[Hahaha, Ranran n't there in person, but he's here, hahaha]
[Hilarious! Brother Fu still wants to be the senior disciple, but Wang Chengran said he seriously sought to become Xia Zhiyi's apprentice. Brother Fu never said that.]
Fu Yunyi genuinely believed he was Xia Zhiyi's apprentice. Although unlike Wang Chengran, he hadn't actually learned any kung fu from Xia Zhiyi and had made some progress over the years, he had still sought Xia Zhiyi.
He can't beat Wang Chengran now, but compared to those fair-skinned young men in the industry, Fu Yunyi feels he's still pretty good at fighting.
Not long ago, he filmed a fantasy drama and actually did a few fight scenes. The martial arts director even praised him for having some skill.
Fu Yunyi: "You... alright, how many disciples do you want to choose? Wang Chengran is the eldest disciple, who's the second disciple? If I become your disciple now, can I become the second disciple?"
I must say, the title of Xia Zhiyi's apprentice is quite appealing.
Wang Chengran's transformation over the past three years has followed a similar path to Xia Zhiyi's. However, unlike some petty people who like to climb over others to get ahead, Wang Chengran always respectfully refers to Xia Zhiyi as his mentor.
His attitude is clear: if anyone tries to use Wang Chengran to put down Xia Zhiyi online, this guy will personally confront them.
He never neglected the matter of respecting his teachers.
Unlike that newcomer from the talent show two years ago, who relied on a slight resemblance to Fu Yunyi, which could be increased to five points with makeup, and marketed himself as "Little Fu Yunyi," and actually got lucky and had a hit drama, and then turned around and started to put down Fu Yunyi.
Fu Yunyi is naturally handsome, and even his haters have never been able to criticize his face. How could anyone else possibly pull him down with a face that is only remotely similar?
A person should have self-awareness.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "The position of Second Senior Brother is gone too. Not only Second Senior Brother, I now have twenty-three officially accepted disciples."
Fu Yunyi: "... Why didn't you tell me before?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled, "You didn't ask me."
[Hahahaha]
[Goodness gracious! Teacher Xia has been practically invisible for the past three years, except when he's filming. Was he busy teaching apprentices?]
[No, didn't University A say that Teacher Xia's outstanding performance led to her being selected early for a national project team?]
[Upstairs, don't spread rumors without official confirmation. Don't overpraise!]
[Ahhh, Teacher Xia! If you're going to take on apprentices, please consider me! I want to be your twenty-fourth apprentice!]
[ Fu Yunyi: Aren't we good friends anymore? Hahaha, Brother Fu's expression is so funny!]
Before Fu Yunyi could say anything more, Xia Zhiyi steered the conversation back on track. "Alright, I've finished my introductions. Teacher Xie, would you like to come?"
Xie Linyue smiled and teased Fu Yunyi, "You're already Zhiyi's senior brother, why do you still want to be his disciple? Wouldn't that cause chaos?"
Fu Yunyi deliberately feigned a wronged expression. "Well, I just thought his apprentice was quite popular, right? I originally thought it was just Wang Chengran, but I didn't expect you, Xia Zhiyi, to be secretly doing something big behind our backs."
Xie Linyue smiled and looked at the camera, "Everyone, I'm Xie Linyue, a singer. I'll be the vocal coach for the contestants this time, so please give me your guidance."
After finishing speaking, he naturally handed the microphone to the next person.
The brief pause in the self-introductions proceeded smoothly. After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Fu Yunyi smiled and said, "Everyone has their own work to do, so it seems my main job this time is to be a mascot host."
Xie Linyue covered her mouth and laughed, "What's wrong with being a mascot? If the production team asked me to be the mascot, it would save me a lot of trouble; I could just sit there and earn money."
"However, being a host isn't easy, Brother Fu, you shouldn't make it sound so simple."
Xia Zhiyi added, "Yes, we only need to take care of the contestants, but you're different."
The celebrity mentors also work as hosts; they're not really mascots.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, it quickly turned to 6:30. A staff member reminded them from behind the camera, and Fu Yunyi cleared his throat, made a gesture to Xia Zhiyi and the others, and walked to the stage to begin the recording of the new season of " Boy Band ".
At this moment, the main camera focuses on Fu Yunyi on the stage, while the other people in the audience share the same shot.
Xie Linyue sat next to Xia Zhiyi, watching Fu Yunyi deliver his announcement on stage with a calm and fluent expression, and remarked with some emotion, "I must say, Brother Fu actually looks quite professional, not like an amateur."
Xia Zhiyi chuckled, "He's always been serious about his work. Since he took this job, he must have prepared well in private."
Xie Linyue nodded. "That's true. Brother Fu is very serious about his work. When I worked with him to record a music video before, there was a segment promoting ethnic musical instruments. There were seven or eight instruments in total, and he actually learned a little bit of all of them beforehand. He looked quite professional, which surprised me."
Xia Zhiyi knew something about this. He happened to have two days off at the time, stayed at home for two days, and even taught Fu Yunyi a few moves.
Well, rather than saying that the skills Fu Yunyi showed off were all learned from him.
Not to mention the musical instruments that still exist in the Xia Country today, Xia Zhiyi can also play instruments that once appeared in ancient books but seem to have been lost.
That's the advantage of having a lot of life experience; as long as you live long enough and are willing to delve into things, what can't you learn?
Xie Linyue only made a few remarks to ease the tension between Xia Zhiyi and the others after Fu Yunyi left, and things quickly calmed down.
After the opening remarks, the contestants quickly entered the arena. Before that, they had already gathered in the lobby outside the entrance and each made a prediction about their respective preliminary selection class and drew their number plates.
After the contestants entered the stage one by one and began their individual performances, Xia Zhiyi realized that although he tried his best to maintain a youthful mindset, he might still be getting a little old.
Young people these days are all incredibly trendy.
These contestants, some with their baseball caps worn backwards, others with eye-catching headbands, and still others adorned with reflective metallic accessories, or even made a dazzling entrance indoors wearing sunglasses...
Besides these, there is another style.
For example, some contestants wore various ethnic costumes or were dressed in ethnic attire. Some were even dressed up as if they were real people from ancient times, and came out with a plastic sword, actually performing a sword dance for them.
Xia Zhiyi: There are quite a few fancy details, but which dynasty is this costume based on? The style doesn't match up at all.
Others: Wow, performing a sword dance in front of Xia Zhiyi, putting everything else aside, that takes courage!
Director: Hehehehe, the new season's buzz has already exploded, hasn't it?
