he moved his hand away, placed it on the back of her chair instead, and sat down beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the table in front of him sat a meal that had been served in advance, still warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng glanced at it; everything was what he usually ate, clearly prepared for him by Jin Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't go to get any other food and began eating the meal before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Jin Li and Gong Jiajia discussed issues of raising and lowering pitch in the song, as well as handling certain details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, \"Little Star Wish\" was a song for Pink Girl Group, and Jin Li remembered every detail clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Gong Jiajia needed to grasp were the details: articulation and the pitch accuracy of enunciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li emphasized specifically: \"Resonance in the throat cavity and head cavity is very important; it will make the voice more penetrating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This song relies entirely on an ethereal voice to create a misty feeling, whereas your voice leans toward the mid-to-low register and is thick; you need to strengthen your special training in this aspect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vocal resonance requires long-term practice; the song \"Little Star Wish\" was not highly compatible with Gong Jiajia's vocal characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could do temporarily over these few days was refine the details to hold the quality of a live performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if their characteristics were ill-suited, as a professional singer, one should not be unable to endure even a song lasting three or four minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By choosing this song for the finals, Gong Jiajia had essentially placed all her bets on Jin Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; Jin Li's voice and Gong Jiajia's vocal characteristics were simply too different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li's voice was sweet, soft, and light, lacking any thickness; she could barely reach the high register for a short while, and her technique was insufficient due to lack of practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she forced herself to sustain high notes, she would only lose pitch accuracy and commit serious errors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia excelled in the mid-register with a solid voice; she could hit high notes, and her endurance could be supported by technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the two to sing a duet, compromises had to be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either Jin Li adapted to Gong Jiajia, or Gong Jiajia adapted to Jin Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality was that Gong Jiajia could sing Jin Li's songs, but Jin Li might not be able to sing Gong Jiajia's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his meal, Gu Cheng joined the discussion: \"Have you never considered adding choreography?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia dared not speak; she was currently in a state of extreme nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaaaaah, that was Gu Cheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng, the aloof god of March Sky, hailed by fans as the idol with the most youthful vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Gu Cheng hadn't acted in dramas, campus cuts related to him consistently ranked high, making him the most frequently appearing god-level figure when various content creators edited campus youth videos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How were those images produced?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all extracted frame by frame from the music videos filmed by March Sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, during the recording of \"PICK ~ Next Stop Diva,\" Gong Jiajia, as a trainee, had seen Gu Cheng up close a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a trainee, it was impossible to sit and eat with a mentor, let alone communicate at such close range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sister Jin Li hadn't been there, Gong Jiajia felt she would have lost her composure on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gong Jiajia stabilized her emotions, however, a new problem arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Gu Cheng's sharp, defined profile, and then at Jin Li's sweet and lovely profile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two of them sitting close together, her little heart couldn't bear it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one of them was already a feast for face-obsessed fans; the shock brought by the two sitting together was nothing short of paradise for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gu Cheng's words, Jin Li did discuss the matter with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I have considered whether to add some dance elements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The song 'Little Star Wish' is inherently in a girl-group style and requires a complete stage performance; if we only sing without dancing, this song might not beat the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng looked into her eyes and asked softly: \"So what is your concern?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li sighed: \"I don't know how to choreograph. I'm afraid that if we invite a teacher now to design the stage and then start practicing, it will be a bit too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to look at Gong Jiajia: \"Moreover, Jiajia also needs time to gel with the song 'Little Star Wish'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gong Jiajia somewhat distracted, Jin Li called out to her several times: \"Jiajia, Jiajia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping back from the double assault of beauty from the two of them, Gong Jiajia immediately said: \"I'm fine with anything; I'll follow whatever you two decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li then looked back at Gu Cheng, somewhat conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng thought for a moment: \"Since we still need to allocate time for vocal practice, it would be better to simplify the stage choreography. We can perform a simple dance only during the middle section, and use hand gestures for the beginning and end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The on-site atmosphere can be enhanced through costumes and lighting effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jin Li felt somewhat tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, only four days remained; on the fifth day, they would have to step onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked: \"Do you think this timeframe is sufficient for arrangements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng stated affirmatively: \"Absolutely enough. In fact, we wouldn't even need a simple dance; four days are enough to arrange a complete stage performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone shifted slightly: \"However, that applies to a group like March Sky, which is accustomed to high-intensity scheduling. We are used to this level of workload, so four days pose no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since you two do not frequently handle such schedules, and your bodies, along with Gong Jiajia's vocal cords, still need training, opting for a simple dance is the best arrangement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li pondered for a moment before making a decision: \"Then let's do it that way. I feel that singing alone is somewhat thin; if we optimize the stage performance, we'll have a better chance of winning the championship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said: \"If you don't mind, I can arrange the simple dance for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li was shocked: \"You know how to choreograph?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng said calmly, \"I participated in a dance show before. That program required a newly choreographed stage every half month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, we felt our communication with the dance instructor wasn't timely enough, and confirming the choreography before rehearsing left too little time, so we simply choreographed while dancing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia said excitedly, \"I know that show! March Sky delivered several god-tier stages, and your dance was imitated by millions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked curiously, \"But you choreographed a boy group dance; a girl group dance won't work, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Cheng could speak, Gong Jiajia jumped in first: \"March Sky's girl group finger dance has the widest reach; several active girl groups have performed this dance, even taking it onto television programs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning this, Gong Jiajia couldn't help but ask, \"Teacher Gu Cheng, may I ask if those cover groups paid licensing fees? I've been curious about this issue for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last year, that program exploded in popularity due to March Sky's stages, sparking nationwide attention, and many groups covered the performances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had just danced casually, it would have been one thing, but several god-level cover performances emerged, pushing online view counts into the tens of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two or three groups gained a bit of fame specifically by covering March Sky's dances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, March Sky's fans argued for a long time, claiming those groups that copied and imitated hadn't paid licensing fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although no team ever responded, turning the matter into an unsolved mystery, whenever the internet discusses choreography, this incident always comes up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng thought for a moment; this wasn't anything shameful, so he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some teams proactively contacted us offering to pay licensing fees, but Tianding Entertainment refused. Our stages were never registered for any copyright, and charging fees isn't done that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, when the stages suddenly exploded in popularity, many things weren't prepared, and since many groups had already covered them, pursuing the matter afterward would have been futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for the stages on that variety show, we didn't demand any licensing fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we really wanted to claim copyright, we'd have to haggle with the variety show itself, and the production team would want to get involved too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, \"March Sky is so generous; in my place, I would definitely have charged licensing fees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng replied, \"Then you'd need to tell your agent to prepare and register the copyright in advance; otherwise, you won't have a legitimate reason to charge fees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation returned to choreography.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked, \"Do you have time to choreograph a simple dance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, \"I know we're close, but don't sacrifice your rest time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow: \"What, you look down on me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, his tone rarely carried such a hint of tsundere pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li shook her head: \"No, I just think your schedule is intense, so you should rest more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng said, \"It's fine; it's not like I don't have time to choreograph a simple dance for you. Those choreographers might not have ideas better than mine, and communicating back and forth with them would just waste your time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment, \"I only need one hour to give you a simple dance routine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li didn't believe him in her heart, but on her face, she said, \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Cheng swore confidently, \"After we finish eating, I'll show you a thing or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng discussing again, Gong Jiajia felt deeply moved inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What virtue, what ability? What virtue, what ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stage actually received guidance from Teacher Gu Cheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she even thought the variety show she was participating in was the hottest competition program in the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, it was just a flop of a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Online views had barely broken one million, and it couldn't even get aired on satellite television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Gong Jiajia doubted whether the advertising sponsors could even recoup their costs on this variety show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia listened quietly for a while, then seized a gap to ask, \"So what should I do tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li thought for a moment: \"Practice your singing first; grasp the few details I mentioned today, and don't get distracted by dancing yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it plainly, she still didn't quite believe Gu Cheng could choreograph a dance within an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Jiajia nodded, and after finishing her meal, automatically hailed a taxi back to the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't think she could continue staying at Tianding Entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to let Senior Jin Li and Senior Gu Cheng communicate properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, after dinner, Gu Cheng opened a dance studio alone and began choreographing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li wanted to go in and watch, but Gu Cheng specifically chased her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't like being watched.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li shrugged. Fine, she would stay in the small recording studio and continue practicing her singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't sung \"Little Star Wish\" in a long time; she was only singing better than Gong Jiajia based on experience, so she needed to practice frantically these few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one song could require several days of practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a concert, seamlessly connecting so many songs would be a huge test of a performer's stamina and ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why there's a saying in the industry:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to know which singer has a stable live performance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just see which singer holds concerts every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those daring to hold annual tour concerts absolutely possess hard-core strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin, Yan Xingdong, and Luo Yi also returned to the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, Jin Li mentioned that Gu Cheng said he would help her choreograph a dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li asked worriedly, \"Shouldn't you go help him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin was about to walk in, but Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi pulled him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin was puzzled: \"What's wrong? Aren't we going to help Orange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong gave a light cough: \"It's just a simple dance; Gu Cheng can handle it. The finger dance by the girl group that went viral last time was also inspired by Gu Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yi: \"Right, Gu Cheng can solve this on his own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the two dragged Chen Lin out, bid farewell to Jin Li along the way, and left her to her practice without further disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived in the corridor outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi release Chen Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin rubbed his shoulders; honestly, the strength with which those two had held him was truly heavy—it was as if they were trying to drag him to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the pair and said suspiciously, \"From evening until now, I've felt something was off. Could it be that you two are planning to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi's hearts skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has this fool finally realized it? Is he about to have an epiphany?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin: \"Are you planning some kind of team bullying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi were both rendered speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lin jumped up, spread his arms, and pressed his hands onto both their shoulders, chattering incessantly: \"You can't do this; I need to go help Gu Cheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine; if Big Brother and Second Brother don't love him, there's still me, the little brother, to help him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One hour is too tight, but I'm very familiar with choreographing girl group dances anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't my fans all praise me for dancing girl group routines with perfect standard? Although I can't provide much inspiration in terms of creation, I can immediately bring his ideas to life on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, while Chen Lin's singing ability was average, his dancing foundation was impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had practiced classical dance since childhood, and later transitioning to street dance had been even smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi did not stop Chen Lin; they merely sighed as they watched his cheerful retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they tried to stop him again, even a fool would know something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong murmured silently, \"I've done my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had done his best to create a solo moment of glory for Gu Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yi sighed: \"Alas, the enemy is too stubborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A backstab from a teammate is the most fatal of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong and Luo Yi exchanged a glance, and Luo Yi asked, \"Should we... follow over there and take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xingdong fell silent again, then after a long moment, nodded and said, \"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Chen Lin had already gone over, there was no point in them continuing to hide and conceal things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Li was unaware of the inner thoughts currently swirling within March Sky at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, she heard Chen Lin say that Gu Cheng attached great importance to this choreography, and that when they went in to help him, Gu Cheng's expression had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a sense of being disturbed, of having been offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the final result was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had indeed managed to choreograph a simple duet dance suitable for \"Little Star Wish\" within just one hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and in no time, four days later arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live broadcast of the finals for the competition show featuring Gong Jiajia was about to begin!\u003C\u002Fp>",2686,"2026-06-15T03:49:58.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","171fafc147931631e5cc72fdef0c0754690f35cbbe3c5b52738fe02df4f88a85","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-126","i-became-a-viral-sensation-in-the-entertainment--chapter-124",794,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-famous-by-burning-incense-cover.jpg"]
