281 The Real Boss?

Qian Qing didn’t expect Yue Ran’s words to be so explosive and was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, Yu Qi came to his rescue. “That won’t happen. Professor Chen must have his reasons for giving us the reversal card. Our goal is to make the students better and go further. Don’t you think so, Professor Chen?”

Chen Yi did not take the students’ misunderstanding to heart. It did not matter to him whether he explained or not. However, out of courtesy, he still nodded at Yu Qi.

The atmosphere was tense again.

“Director, play the two videos I just edited on the big screen,” Chen Yi said. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the instructors’ seats and the student area. “Didn’t you all want to know the reason? I’ll give you the reason.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen turned black, and then a clip of Candy’s Super Sweet Girls’ performance appeared.

“At the 38th second, one minute and 25 seconds, you didn’t keep up with the beat. At the 38th second, you were one beat slower. At 1 minute and 27 seconds, you took the shot but you corrected it.”

Chen Yi did not look at Sun Jing when she spoke, but Sun Jing felt that her face was burning.

Those gazes did not come from Chen Yi, but from the student area. Of course, she was aware of her own mistakes. She had been in the industry for almost two years, but she had never been popular. Her singing and dancing skills could not be compared to those in the same period. She was not even as professional as the students from the Film Academy in acting. Her looks were more outstanding than the average person, but in the entertainment industry, where there were many beautiful women, it was not an advantage. It wasn’t easy for her to get the last chance the company gave her. As long as she could win the championship and re-debut as a group, her career could be revived. Therefore, she practiced her dance steps day and night, hoping to stand out in the first recording.

Her two mistakes had been corrected in the shortest time possible. The four mentors did not notice it, so how did Chen Yi, an outsider, notice it?

Sun Jing’s face turned red and white, her entire body about to shrink.

Chen Yi glanced at the mentors’ seats. Of the four mentors, other than Zhang Yi, who was still in a daze, the other three had awkward expressions. They were all professionals, but they didn’t notice Sun Jing’s mistake. In the end, it was pointed out by an outsider in public. Their faces also felt like they had been hit ten times in a row, burning in pain. This Godfather of the entertainment industry was indeed worthy of his reputation. He was indeed capable.

Eh? Why did she suddenly get dragged into this? A strange feeling welled up in Yu Qi’s heart. Chen Yi’s words were obviously questioning her. Although her emotional intelligence was not high enough at times, she was not slow. Could it be that there was someone Chen Yi wanted to protect among the students? She even scolded this person? However, due to the occasion, she didn’t have time to think about it. She could only pick up the microphone and say, “Of course, it was a mistake.”

“So, Teacher Yu, do you think it’s reasonable for me to give Sun Jing a reversal card?”

Yu Qi said, “That’s reasonable. As the captain, she made two mistakes in her performance. She really can’t get an A rank.”

Sun Jing lowered her head even more, but no one paid any attention to her. Chen Yi had already ordered the director to start playing Bai Yurou’s performance.

Sun Jing bit her lip and glanced at the coaches’ seats. Then, she silently took two steps back and left the stage dejectedly.

As for Bai Yurou, Chen Yi was even more merciless.

“Stop!” Chen Yi said.

The director immediately pressed the pause button, and on the big screen, Bai Yurou’s lack of movement was instantly exposed.

“I don’t need to say more, do I?” Chen Yi glanced at the mentor’s seat.

The instructors, including Zhang Yi, who had just regained his senses, looked away from the big screen. Sun Jing’s mistake could be attributed to their carelessness, but Bai Yurou’s mistake couldn’t have been more obvious! Before the show started, Zhang Yi had looked for each of the mentors to express their intentions. No matter what Bai Yurou’s performance was, they had to give her an A.

It was no secret that the champion of the talent show was decided internally, and the coaches were all paid to do this. Moreover, today was only the first recording. No matter how bad Bai Yurou’s performance was, with some post-editing, the audience would not be able to tell. Hence, the teachers all gave Bai Yurou an A.

Now that Chen Yi had pointed this out, the four mentors felt embarrassed, but they also realized something. Now that the agency had withdrawn their funding, Zhang Yi was no longer the leader of the mentors. Could it be that this great mentor who had appeared out of nowhere was the real boss of this talent show?

Qian Qing picked up the microphone and said, “It’s indeed our mistake. There’s no need to look at it anymore. For Sweetheart’s Group, it was our evaluation that had a problem. Fortunately, a great teacher came out to correct it.”

Bai Yurou was so angry she almost spat out blood. What are these useless people doing? He removed her Class A without even asking her? She was so angry that she wanted to argue with Chen Yi. She had the agency behind her, so she was not afraid of anyone!
