186 Chapter 186. Rhetorical Question
Chen Tong was still standing on the stage, but director Sun rejected her proposal in public. The shame and anger from her performance’s failure mixed with the awkwardness at this moment. Chen Tong’s eyes immediately turned red.
She said unwillingly, “Who can not make mistakes? It’s not like I’m a robot. Could it be that I’m the only one who will have problems? I’ve already said that it’s the headphones that are not good. Everyone might not perform smoothly when the time comes, so how can we broadcast it to the public? Can’t we edit it a little? The audience doesn’t know how many times I’ve sung!”
In the waiting room on the other side, many contestants were shocked by Director Sun’s words. Most of them started clapping spontaneously.
Too many things could not be controlled in the entertainment industry. If people with backgrounds participated in the competition with them, then if they enjoyed any special privileges, they would have no choice but to continue participating; they had to continue being the green leaf for others.
However, if the director team could keep their promise and everyone only had one chance to perform, it would not be bad if everyone relied on their abilities.
At the recording studio, Chen Tong’s manager had a sad expression on her face. She ran over anxiously and waved at Chen Tong from the audience. “Xiao Tong! Come down quickly! It was already very nice just now. Trust me.”
The manager had no choice but to coax Chen Tong off the stage first. Otherwise, the more Chen Tong said, the more mistakes she would make. How could she continue to stay here in the future? The collaboration this time was about to be ruined.
This was the first time Chen Tong felt that she was not confident on stage. This time, she was no longer fierce to her manager. Someone came to coax her, so Chen Tong used this opportunity to walk down the stage. She wiped her tears in a wronged manner and was pulled away by her manager.
The host heaved a sigh of relief. After hosting so many shows, he was most afraid of an artist like Chen Tong. If she insisted on solving the problem on stage, she would not let it go.
No matter how many smooth words she had, she could not hide it. Fortunately, this was only a recording and not a live broadcast. Otherwise, it would be the most embarrassing performance accident in the entertainment industry.
The host took a deep breath and warmly invited Su Yan to go on stage.
Su Yan frowned slightly as if he was unhappy about what had just happened. When he heard the host’s words, he looked sad. He got up and quickly walked to the stage.
However, when the music started, Su Yan changed his expression. He was confident and put the microphone to his mouth. The high-level rap kept hitting the ears of everyone present. Everyone instantly forgot about the awkwardness and dullness just now; they started to dance along with the music.
The smile on Ding Shan’s lips widened, adding some true feelings to it. She swayed her body slightly along with the rhythm.
Su Yan’s voice was very varied. His clear, youthful voice was very enchanting. However, when he sang the high-pitched part, he was full of energy, and his lung capacity was astonishing.
After a long rap that did not stop, Su Yan put on a relaxed ending pose. He panted slightly and smiled brightly. He appeared demonic. Some staff members were little girls who could no longer hold back their low screams.
After Su Yan’s performance, he stopped smiling and returned to his cold appearance. He bowed slightly, turned around, and walked off the stage.
Chen Tong had already been comforted by her manager and sent back to her teacher’s position.
Seeing Su Yan leave the stage, Chen Tong seemed to want to find some comfort. She asked Su Yan, “Is the sound quality not very good? I can’t even hear the accompaniment. The equipment is too bad.”
Then, she seemed to want to prove something; she said to Ding Shan and Li Yang, “Sister Li, you have to be careful later. Also, Sister Shan, you haven’t sung on the stage before and have no experience. There’s nothing you can do about this situation. Don’t feel pressured. Unlike me, I’m just a bit of a perfectionist, which is why I lost control of my emotions.”
Chen Tong was anxious to find an excuse for her earlier performance and put on a professional look. It was customary for her to want to explain her mistake as the equipment was not good. Moreover, she had indirectly hinted to Li Yang and Ding Shan that she had made a mistake. It was probably impossible for the two of them, inexperienced, to make a mistake.
Chen Tong said these words purely to make up for it. At least everyone would be polite and push the blame onto the equipment. Then, she would still be able to save her face. Moreover, they were all in the industry. There was no reason to ruin her reputation; this was a natural thing.
However, Chen Tong forgot that the person she was asking about was Su Yan.
