Chapter 54: Deep Sisterly Affection

Penguin Music, number one on both the New Song Chart and the Trending Chart—what kind of concept is this?

Most of the trainees present might not even have a single song in their entire lives that could make it onto the homepage of the charts, let alone directly reign supreme!

In the entertainment industry, there is a type of live performance called singing one song for a lifetime.

For a Singer, as long as they have one hit work, they can live a life without worries about food or clothing!

And according to the rules of Creating Idols, the copyright of original songs remains in one's own hands.

Otherwise, those big companies that spend heavy money to buy songs would be very reluctant.

In other words, Luo Mo's Big Fish does not belong to the production team.

It is just that the live version of Big Fish in the first public performance belongs to the production team.

But he can completely release other versions.

Big Fish reigning over both charts means that Luo Mo is no longer on the same level as everyone else.

Although he has not yet officially debuted, his social stratum is already different.

Everyone is here to work as an Idol, and they know better than anyone how much an Idol needs a breakout work that can stand its ground.

For an Idol without a breakout work, the intensity of ridicule from passersby—tsk tsk tsk—is truly terrifying.

Shen Mingliu and the others, who had already been washing dishes for several days, looked sideways at Luo Mo, jealousy growing in their hearts.

People from those small companies simply cannot understand what it means to be number one on both charts; only trainees from big companies like them understand the gold content within it.

People who haven't seen the world just listen, but those who have seen the world know how terrifying all this is!

This achievement is the dream of many Singers at Xingshi Entertainment who have debuted for years!

And he, before even debuting, has already achieved it.

This man, not even having entered the entertainment industry yet, just rubbing against the edges, has already stirred up tremors within the industry.

This is undoubtedly creating a Myth among trainees.

It is conceivable that even many years from now, this matter will still be repeatedly mentioned in the circle of trainees.

………

………

Xu Chujing was still reading out the rankings, but judging by the stance, the accurate rankings of those eliminated trainees might not be announced.

Now, only the top nine remain unannounced.

Many people have already clearly realized that it is time for them to leave.

Some people clenched their fists so hard their nails almost dug into their flesh, cursing themselves countless times in their hearts, clearly they could have worked harder.

But everything is a foregone conclusion; the cruelty of the world has merely lifted a corner in front of these still very young trainees.

Many people only realize after entering society that studying was actually not hard at all.

Luo Mo, whose ranking had not yet been read, stood in the first row among the crowd, his expression relaxed, not nervous at all.

On the contrary, Tong Shu, who was standing beside him, had already started to get nervous for his Boss.

Luo Mo glanced at Tong Shu, whose body was a bit tense, and only found it a bit funny.

Names were called out one after another, and Xu Chujing soon read out Luo Mo's name.

She looked deeply at Luo Mo and said, "Seventh place, Luo Mo!"

In an instant, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.

The gold content of Luo Mo's seventh place goes without saying.

He had no company background, no popularity foundation, and in a situation where he had nothing, he rushed to seventh place in the first ranking announcement; it was simply terrifying.

As for the rankings of the other contestants, the gold content is also terrifying; their rankings are truly "gold-filled," as many votes were spent with money—they are "pay-to-win" contestants.

The final result was that Shen Mingliu was still ranked first, but Ji Kangdong was pushed down to third.

These trainees ranked in the top six did not feel a sense of relief after hearing their rankings.

Only because they were in front of Luo Mo!

For some reason, everyone felt like they had thorns on their backs, feeling as if they were prey being watched.

No sense of security, not even a little bit.

This man with the nickname of "Instructor" seemed overly ferocious.

Standing in front of him, one always felt that if not careful, they would be pierced by a bayonet or even shot in the head!

As for those ranked sixth to fourth, their vote counts were not too far from Luo Mo's.

The competition for the top three is the most intense, while fourth to eighth is the second tier.

And the ninth is the last spot to debut in the group, and the competition is also terrifying.

Therefore, these few trainees were truly panicked.

Their gazes met Luo Mo's, and when Luo Mo's eyes swept over them, even though the subsequent competition had not yet begun, they felt they had already lost.

The Great Demon King of Creating Idols, drawing double wages, has come to mess with people's mentalities and train everyone.

After the 1st to 9th places were all announced, according to Ning Dan's arrangement, these nine trainees had to go on stage and read out the Motto they had filled out before the initial stage.

I have to say, this mature woman really knows how to play.

Reading out the Motto filled out at that time at such a moment is actually quite rousing, and the program effect is maxed out.

Only Luo Mo, after reading the line he wrote, "Do not worry that there are no soulmates on the road ahead," seemed a bit out of place.

No one understood the meaning of this sentence, and no one could see through the ambition in his heart.

In this world, only he knows that the second half of this poem is, "Who in the world does not know you."

………

………

After the rankings on the Popularity Support Ranking were read out, the eliminated trainees left, and the scene was very cruel.

The remaining people didn't even have time to collect their emotions before they had to face the assessment for the third public performance and begin a new round of team formation.

This time, Ning Dan played a new trick.

The total number of teams remained at 9, so as not to affect the duration of the show after broadcast, but the number of people in each team would be reduced.

Then, 6 of these teams would engage in a battle.

There would also be 3 teams singled out to compete among themselves, not participating in the competition of the other six groups.

The reason is very simple: these three teams would have celebrity mentors join in to assist!

Ning Dan spent a large sum of money to hire 5 celebrity mentors, and it wasn't just to have them act as judges.

However, Xu Chujing, as the National Producer Representative, would not be participating.

Her fame is too great, her status is too high, and her popularity is too explosive; she is not on the same level as the other four mentors, so that would be too unfair.

As for the other four celebrity mentors, Wei Ran and Li Ge are both established Singers, while Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo are members of a popular girl group, and their traffic is still relatively high.

According to the rules, the leaders of the top three teams from the second public performance could form their own small teams again and gain the opportunity to collaborate on a stage with a mentor.

It's just that there are 4 mentors but only 3 teams, so they had to draw lots, and one mentor would not participate.

In other words, Luo Mo would continue to serve as a team leader, and at the same time, he could try his luck at drawing a mentor to join his team.

"Which one should I grab?" Luo Mo's gaze swept over the four celebrity mentors.

He didn't really have anyone he wanted to collaborate with most, only someone he didn't want to collaborate with at all, and that was Li Ge.

It wasn't that he didn't like him, it was just that their styles clashed; Li Ge was not suitable for any of his current backup songs.

He could look for an opportunity to collaborate later on.

"Luo Mo, you are in first place, you go up on stage to draw lots first," Xu Chujing said, holding the microphone.

Luo Mo nodded and, under the expectant gazes of the four celebrity mentors, drew his lot.

He drew Shen Yinuo.

Li Ge was drawn by Shen Mingliu, Wei Ran was drawn by the leader of the third-place team, and Jiang Ningxi was left with a bye.

"Yes!" Shen Yinuo waved her little fist excitedly and jumped up in excitement, causing quite a stir.

The person she most wanted to collaborate with was definitely Luo Mo; they could prepare the stage together, and she could also whisper in his ear to continue promoting her company.

Even if she couldn't sign him, it would deepen their friendship, making it easier to invite him for songs in the future.

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

She didn't hide it at all as she raised her eyebrows at Jiang Ningxi and gave her a wink; she felt it was a double blessing.

Jiang Jiang could rest for a round, which was so great.

And I, I have to handle this man!

Jiang Ningxi looked at Shen Yinuo, then looked at Luo Mo, her mood extremely terrible.

One is her best friend, the other is her only ex-boyfriend.

Next, they would train together, collaborate together, and bring a brand new Singing and Dancing stage.

Jiang Ningxi found it hard to describe this emotion, and she still had to keep smiling for the camera.

"No! One is my good sister, the other is an old classmate; I must help them as much as I can," Jiang Ningxi quickly made a decision.

It is definitely not to keep an eye on them, definitely not to monitor them!

Everything is for the sake of friendship.

"Jiang Jiang, you can have a good rest this time," Shen Yinuo said to Jiang Ningxi.

"How can that be? Xiao Shen, I definitely want to accompany you. Whether it's training or creating, if I can help, I am happy to help," Jiang Ningxi said to her with a sincere expression.

"Ah! Jiang Jiang, you are so good!" Shen Yinuo was instantly even happier.

What is a good sister?

A good sister is someone you share a quilt with at night and share a lifetime with on the road of life.

"Jiang Jiang is my good friend for life!" Shen Yinuo said in her heart.

—Sisterly love.
