197 Chapter 197. Harsh Words

Ding Shan’s brows twitched slightly, but she was still too lazy to open her eyes to deal with Chen Tong. She only said indifferently, “If you spoke a little less, I would be more relaxed. Recording variety shows isn’t tiring. My head hurts from your noise.”

Chen Tong was stunned. She did not expect Ding Shan to be so straightforward. was she directly declaring war on her?

Ding Shan sighed and raised her eyelids slightly. She glanced coldly at Chen Tong, “I like to speak frankly. If you are willing to record a variety of shows, honestly, we can still work together on the same stage. If you continue to look for trouble everywhere, don’t expect to get any good looks from me.”

Chen Tong was at a loss for words. Ding Shan exposed her hidden thoughts in front of her, making her seem like a clown.

Chen Tong’s face gradually turned red, and she seemed to be at a loss.

The corners of Ding Shan’s mouth curled up, “You’re right. I don’t have any experience in recording variety shows. If it’s because I don’t understand the rules or can’t learn your fake flattery, Miss Chen, please don’t take offense. Director Yin invited me here to perform well and bring out the champion team. Everyone will rely on their abilities. If you’re that energetic, put all your energy on the stage. Could you not come and talk to me? Am I clear enough?”

Ding Shan did not avoid looking directly at Chen Tong. Although she looked lazy, her eyes were full of vigor and hidden danger.

Chen Tong looked into Ding Shan’s eyes and thought of the feeling of being suppressed by Ding Shan. She knew that Ding Shan was serious. She could do something to embarrass her in public.

Chen Tong was a little timid. Could she resolve the crisis in front of everyone and the cameras? Could she beat Ding Shan? Thinking of these few exchanges, Ding Shan always had the upper hand. Chen Tong was not confident.

However, Chen Tong was not willing to admit defeat just like that. It was as if she was terrified of Ding Shan.

Chen Tong curled her lips, “Alright, you said it. Everyone will rely on their abilities. If we have the ability, we will meet on stage. Don’t think that you are amazing just because you sang a song. Aren’t you still relying on your popularity in the past? There will be many more stages in the future. Those contestants know who will be able to bring out the champion team. We’ll wait and see!”

Ding Shan closed her eyes again and gave a bored smile. “Sure, we’ll just wait and see then.”

Chen Tong rolled her eyes. Ding Shan always had such a confident look on her face. It was as if nothing would make her afraid. It was wishful thinking. Could it be that those contestants were blind enough to choose Ding Shan as their mentor?

Following Ding, Shan was not as good as following her. She was well-versed in the unspoken rules of variety shows. She knew how to arrange the stage shows that the audience liked. The champion team would be born from her hands!

The recording had already begun. This was not only a competition between the contestants but also a competition between the mentors. There was a lot of knowledge in deciding who was more capable and who would be able to bring out the final champion team to debut smoothly; every detail was important. Every single factor could lead to the impact of popularity. This was also a reflection of the coach’s ability.

Chen Tong was very confident. In terms of the talent show, no one understood it better than her. Even Chen Xi was only a singer who could sing. On the stage, those who sang well might not have the chance to be seen. There were many other ways to be outstanding, not to mention Ding Shan, who was only a half-baked singer! She would choose some people to accompany her onstage to perform the drama. Humph, what a joke!

The cameras recorded the conversation between Ding Shan and Chen Tong at the side. As the material for the tidbits, it was saved by the director. Naturally, the director would not send out all the content for the audience to see; however, if they were slightly edited, the scene of Ding Shan and Chen Tong’s harsh words being cut into the tidbits and placed in the promotional film would attract a lot of attention.

For a variety show like this, the most needed thing was conflict. Without conflict, how could the audience enjoy watching it?

For a variety show like Ding Shan and Chen Tong, the undercurrents were surging, and each of them was full of confidence. It was most suitable to attract the audience to watch. The atmosphere between the coaches could be considered a good start. Next, they only needed the contestants to perform well and retain the audience. The audience would then choose the contestants they liked as if they were betting; then, they would follow the coach’s team and watch the contestants learn and grow bit by bit. Then, the program would stand still!

After making some adjustments, the contestants in the waiting room had already chosen the coaches they liked and were ready to go on stage to perform.
