Godfather of the Queens' Scandals

Chapter 32 Innate Selection of the Holy Body

"In this assessment, we will select the top eight performers and the worst performer," Xu Yuan said. "So if you lack confidence in yourself, then striving to improve yourself is a good option."

Alright, the assessment will officially begin. Who wants to go first?

The trainees looked at each other, none of them willing to be the first to step forward.

After all, the later you are in the game, the more opportunities you have to make adjustments.

Shu Ningran glared angrily at Xu Yuan.

Because the man looked at her when he said "try to work harder."

What does that mean?

Underestimate the strength of our top client?

If it weren't for you squeezing out Li Jianshe, I, the princess, would undoubtedly be the center of the first stage!

Even with a new emperor and a new court, with a little effort, she can definitely easily win back the center position.

"I'll do it." Choi Hyo-eun has a strong heart that doesn't match her small appearance. She came all the way from the ocean for every possible stage.

"A long, egg-yolk-colored dress, and fluffy hair."

"Hold my hand as we look at the latest oil paintings on display."

"A deserted street, an empty house"

"I'm the only one having a wild party!"

That's right.

The "teaching song" that Xu Yuan produced for the trainees of Bala Interactive Entertainment was a completely different version of "Youth With You Melody".

"Alright, go sit next to An Xue." Xu Yuan interrupted Cui Xiaoen and said to everyone, "There are seven spots left out of nine."

???

"No, to be precise, out of the eight outstanding spots, there are six left." Xu Yuan explained, and the trainees on site panicked.

So An Xue wasn't criticized?

Not eliminated?

Or did they pass the assessment ahead of schedule?

"Furthermore, the order in which people appear in life is very important," Xu Yuan added fuel to the fire. "If all eight excellent spots are taken, then even if someone performs better, they won't be able to get the first stage."

Instead, they can only stay in the substitute zone and wait for someone to be eliminated during the initial stage training before taking their place.

So, are you still going to hesitate?

The next moment, the trainees seemed to wake up from a dream and started scrambling to grab the prize.

Wang Hong quickly restored order.

Everyone performed in turn, in that order.

"Just treat it as a dream; even after waking up for a long time, I'm still deeply moved."

"I still long to be protected by you, to heal the pain in my heart."

"I know it's hard for me to like you."

"Don't worry, the world is vast, but I remember your words of advice."

Yoon Jin-ah was stopped during the second verse and was successfully selected.

After a few more people passed by, it was Shu Ningran's turn.

Shu Ningran: "A long dress in the shape of an egg yolk..."

Xu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately interrupted, "That's enough, next one."

Shu Ningran was overjoyed and stood next to the trio.

She was selected even faster than Choi Hyo-eun!

I just don't know who's stronger, An Xue or her.

"No, what are you doing standing over there? That's where the outstanding candidates are." Xu Yuan looked at Shu Ningran with a puzzled expression.

"Am I not good enough?"

"Otherwise what? Hasn't anyone told you that you're tone-deaf? Move aside, move aside, stand somewhere else."

The scene was deathly silent.

"Me, tone-deaf?" Shu Ningran trembled with anger.

How could she, the future center of attention, be questioned like this?

This is an insult!

"Listen to me carefully!" Shu Ningran insisted on finishing the song, "The long dress with egg yolk..."

Xu Yuan shrugged, pulled out a tissue, and tore it in half.

Shu Ningran was so humiliated she was almost in tears, but she still insisted on singing the second verse: "Just treat it as a dream..."

Xu Yuan crumpled a tissue into a small ball and put it into his ear.

Shu Ningran's vision was already blurry, but the center position wouldn't give up: "Melody~ the melody in my mind is so familiar."

"I loved you... all I can do in my heart is sigh softly."

"Melody ~ Countless moving notes in my life"

"I loved..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xu Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. "This contestant, the examiners' lives matter too. That's enough, really enough."

Oh oh oh!

Shu Ningran squatted down on the spot and burst into tears.

She had lived a life of luxury since birth and had never suffered such humiliation before.

"This is so unfair! I'm going to have my mom replace you... Waaaaah..."

Choi Hyo-eun and the others went over to comfort her, but they didn't know what to say.

"Xiao En, he actually said I'm tone-deaf! He's talking nonsense! Li Jianshe clearly said my singing skills are comparable to An Xue's."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Yes, you can compare to anyone, not just An Xue, but Zhang Xiaosi, Zhu Jialin, and Yu Qingwan. But the problem is, you can't beat any of them."

"You're talking nonsense! Waaaaah!"

While crying, Shu Ningran suddenly looked up at the trio.

For so long, the trio has only offered comfort without saying a word in support. Could it be...?

"I... could I really be tone-deaf?" Shu Ningran looked around, then got the answer from everyone's eyes, "I really... sob sob sob..."

Xu Yuan waved his hand, signaling the trio to take Shu Ningran away so as not to affect the other people's assessment.

There's actually a story behind this instructional piece.

The "egg yolk dress" section really tests a rapper's sense of rhythm.

If you get the rhythm right, even random singing will sound good.

If you don't get the rhythm right, no matter how you sing, it's all for nothing.

Most boy band and girl group songs have a strong rhythm.

Choi Hyo-eun is from the Korean Peninsula, so she has a solid foundation in acting and speaks fluently from the start.

The section "Just Treat It as a Dream" is more challenging for rappers.

It needs to feel pretentious.

If your pronunciation is too clear, distinct, and polite, and your tone is too standard, even if you sing it correctly, it will sound like you're reciting a traditional storytelling performance.

Most boy band and girl group songs need to be faked.

Even idols themselves are all about posing and looking cool; it's an industry about posing.

Yoon Jin-ah meets both of these criteria, and with her exceptionally good looks, she is more than qualified to be selected.

The final "melody~" section is a more traditional test, including pitch accuracy, breath control, vocal transitions, and basic high notes.

If you can handle this part, you should have no problem singing most of the songs for both male and female groups, except for a few special parts that are difficult to sing.

The assessment ended quickly.

The eight outstanding candidates have been selected.

"As we said before, even the worst person in the entire audience can be selected. So the ninth person selected for the initial stage performance is... Shu Ningran." Xu Yuan announced the results.

No one was surprised.

Because someone who is tone-deaf has no chance of becoming a trainee unless her mother is the owner of the company.

"You..." Shu Ningran, who should have been overjoyed at being selected, felt a strong sense of malice instead. This damned man was deliberately mocking her!

Humiliate her!

If she accepts this spot, it means she admits that she is the worst in the entire competition.

"You must be doing this on purpose, trying to make me the most ridiculous member of the royal family in history... I'll fight you to the death!" Shu Ningran stretched out her left foot, raised her left hand, and her right hand reached behind her...

"Wait!" Xu Yuan called out to her, turning to Wang Hong and questioning, "Is she still moving her arms and legs in unison?"

Wang Hong looked embarrassed: "Well, actually, if you practice more, jump slower, and stand a little to the side, it won't be so obvious."

Shu Ningran: ? ? ?

The teachers only said that she "dances poorly," so why does it seem like she can't dance at all here?

She's never been the one punished with a hundred jumps for not performing the movements correctly.

clap clap clap!

Xu Yuan clapped enthusiastically, increasingly satisfied with Shu Ningran: "This one's in the bag."

A naturally gifted talent!
