Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 10: First Public Song Selection

Having seen so much "deep brotherly love" and "long-lasting relationships," this dorm division has finally ended.They moved the battlefield to the broadcast hall.

"Next up is the release of the task for the first public performance. There are a total of sixteen songs, with limited performers for each song. Once full, no more selections can be made. The song selection rules are based on ranking, with each person having scores given by the mentors during the initial stage ratings..."

Class A has the privilege of choosing first.

Typically in shows like this, the people in Class A are usually the most popular online, but there are exceptions, with two or three people having decent skills but aren’t very likable.

Popularity among the public is really a kind of mystery.

Yu Kuang played the demos of all sixteen songs once.

Yu Xia watched seriously, standing with her arms crossed and no expression, while predicting which songs would be more popular with the audience.

The primary viewers of boy band talent shows are girls, what do girls like to watch?

Simply put, it’s two words—handsome guys, but truly satisfying a girl’s psyche isn’t that simple.

Sexy is okay, but being too oily isn’t.

Cute is fine too, but pretentiousness and silly sweetness are not popular.

Cool or gentle is also okay, but such personas are generally hard to establish; if faked, it’s easily spotted.

Girls are not easy to please.

Among these hundred contestants, those who can showcase their appeal usually have two paths: delivering a stunning performance or charming the audience in supplementary shows.

Neither path is easy; it makes one wonder what Xie Qingci will do, as he isn’t someone who likes to please others.

Thinking about this, she glanced over at Xie Qingci.

He was sitting in the last row of the Class A area, slightly hunched, elbows resting on his thighs, with his fine hair partially covering his eyes.

Someone next to him was talking to him, and he was watching the demo on the screen while listening.

A moment later, he nodded, and the person next to him happily went to talk to someone else.

Tsk, it’s one thing to be popular among the girls, but he’s also very popular among the guys.

Being good-looking really is a privilege.

As she was complaining internally, Xie Qingci suddenly looked over here.

Yu Xia naturally shifted her gaze to the person in front of him, Song Xi.

When she was eighteen, she had read many romance novels and had a fondness for guys who were refined but roguish.

Unfortunately, back in high school, most boys who wore glasses were flat-nosed and weak, with their thick lenses sliding off their noses.

She looked at Song Xi with undisguised interest, as Xie Qingci withdrew his gaze and looked back at the big screen, his eyes indifferent, and the air pressure dropped a bit.

Is she interested in Song Xi again? Well, he’s reasonably good-looking and young—just her type.

The more Xie Qingci thought about it, the darker his expression became, and Wei Yaoyao from the neighboring Class B hesitated to talk to him.izens grew.

This meant that the participants for the first indoor supplementary show needed careful selection.

People should be suitable, capable of playing, and not cause any trouble, ensuring the first impression is impactful.

Yu Xia also looked forward to this supplementary show.

Right now, no one was unhappy doing more for more pay; everyone in the entertainment industry knew how popular "Variety Show" was a couple of years back.

This time, the team brought in the original writing team to plan the programs, providing not only a chance for the trainees to gain popularity but also a great opportunity for the four mentors to boost their profiles.

Everyone was thrilled at the thought of gaining fame and fortune.

He Ci was also happy, calling her eight hundred times a day to remind her: "Seize this opportunity! Shu Ran rose to the top rank thanks to ’Variety Show.’ If you can also make it big through this show, at least the role you had your eye on previously won’t be an issue!"
