362 Chapter 362. I’m Still me
“I helped you back then because I liked you. I didn’t want you to suffer because of the lack of resources, but I knew that even without me, you would one day reach the position that belonged to you.” Xiang Hong said.
Ding Shan knew that Xiang Hong was taking care of her self-esteem. She felt warm in her heart. She wasn’t stubborn and pretentious, so after listening to Xiang Hong’s explanation, her heart was already very calm.
However, Ding Shan did not think that she would not have to struggle after being with Xiang Hong. Instead, she felt that she had to become stronger and more outstanding to stand in front of him more confidently.
‘You see, I’m not attached to you. Although I like you, I’m still me, an independent and powerful individual.’
Compared to Ding Shan, who exuded a confident aura, Chen Tong seemed in a terrible state. Her eyes were dull, and she couldn’t even squeeze a smile on her face.
Due to the scandal, Chen Tong had not recently had a good night’s sleep. Several variety shows she was scheduled to participate in had contacted her to terminate her contract. The boss who supported her had also frozen all the bank cards he had given her. When she returned to the company after the variety shows ended, what awaited Chen Tong would be an even more terrifying crisis.
How could Chen Tong laugh at this moment?
With the host’s announcement, the night of the finals officially began.
Tonight’s live broadcast would be three hours long. Not only would the trainees present stunning performances, but the Festival Group had also invited many famous bands and singers as guests, instantly bringing the program to a new level.
So far, Idol Creation Camp has set many new records for online variety shows and has become the veritable ceiling of talent shows. Under the strong influence of Idol Creation Camp, the popularity of another talent show broadcast in the same period was very bleak, with almost no hot topics.
After a few groups of guests finished their performances, the atmosphere became lively. Next, the trainees who had reached the final round began to perform.
Ding Shan’s team’s Mysterious X, Wen Xiu, and Wang Le had all reached the finals. Wang Le’s ability to reach the finals was something no one had expected. He also caused a lot of controversies. Many fans of the other trainees felt that not only did Wang Le not have a professional attitude, but his performance on stage was also very poor, and he was utterly unworthy of entering the finals.
The officials didn’t respond to these disputes directly. They only posted the daily voting data on Weibo to prove that the Festival Group wouldn’t interfere with the voting results.
Which trainee could enter the finals was entirely up to the audience’s choice.
Before the competition, Wang Le’s mood was naturally very nervous. He usually stood at the back of the team when he sang and danced. This time, he suddenly had to prepare a stage performance alone. He was terrified and uneasy as if he was about to lose face in front of the entire country.
Ding Shan had no other choice. After all, Wang Le was still a trainee on her team. If Wang Le lost face, it would be the same as losing face for her. She could only ask Xiang Hong to help Wang Le more before the finals so that he would not perform too badly on stage and be laughed at by the audience.
Tonight, Wang Le was preparing to perform a song from his hometown, which was a continuation of his performance style on the first stage. Although there were no surprises, the overall level was much better than the first stage. The song was not out of tune, and some simple dance moves looked like a complete performance.
Ding Shan heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, Xiang Hong had his way of training people. Wang Le had undergone such a massive transformation in just a few days.
Because Wang Le did not want to step out of the spotlight, he usually did not dress up meticulously when he went on stage. This time, Xiang Hong gave him a styling set and had someone cut a slanted fringe covering half of his eyes. Wang Le instantly had a trace of cold and charming temperament and looked quite decent.
Xiang Hong did not want to care about Wang Le. He agreed to Ding Shan’s request because Wang Le’s votes would also be counted in the instructor battle team. To let Ding Shan sit firmly on the ‘Strongest instructor’ chair, Xiang Hong was willing to help Wang Le complete the stage performance.
When it was Wen Xiu’s turn, the smile on Ding Shan’s face faded.
When Wen Xiu went on stage, although there were still audience members shouting his name, his voice, and aura were not as good as the other trainees who were not very popular. After his relationship with Chen Tong was announced, many fans decided to give up on him.
After the live tickets for the night of the finals were sold online, the price was speculated to be over 10000 Yuan. To witness the most critical moment of their idol, fans would desperately spend money to find channels to buy live tickets. However, on the eve of the finals, Wen Xiu’s fans were selling live tickets at a crazy low price on the internet.
