Chapter 19: Variety Show Turmoil
I’ve seen it all now.
Someone, a living person, actually dared to roast Yu Weixi on a show.
Tian Yawei curiously asked the rap mentor next to her what was going on. The mentor whispered, “That’s the nephew of the boss of Xuanli Entertainment… a little prince.”
“Alright then.”
Tian Yawei pouted, thinking, no wonder.
Yu Weixi raised a slight eyebrow at Xu Renjian.
“Pfft…” The rap mentor on the side, Xiao Bailong, couldn’t help but laugh. He said to Xu Renjian, “Oh, my little brother, I don’t know if Mr. Chu and Mr. Yu respect you, but I respect you!”
Xiao Bailong poked his own chest with his finger, then pointed at Xu Renjian. “Respect!”
This time, everyone in the room, including Chu Qing and Yu Weixi, couldn’t help but laugh.
“You… this show of yours, you don’t respect people at all!?” Xu Renjian was a little annoyed by everyone’s laughter, his face flushed.
And the contestants who had already received their ratings, including Chen Taochuan, were sitting in their chosen ranking chairs on the side. When Chen Taochuan saw Xu Renjian speaking to Yu Weixi like that, his face turned even redder than Xu Renjian’s.
“How could that be? We respect every contestant.” Lu Jiayan smiled. “Let’s let Mr. Chu finish and see if you’re satisfied, okay?”
So Chu Qing continued his critique, “It’s like this, your voice…”
Chu Qing began to slowly point out Xu Renjian’s problems.
Chu Qing said quite a lot. Basically, if one was willing to listen, they would definitely benefit greatly.
Finally, Chu Qing concluded, “I’ve heard you sing before, on another show. You didn’t used to sing so pretentiously. It’s better to be like before, more natural.”
Being too pretentious was really… a bit effeminate.
That was what Chu Qing didn’t say.
“Before, before…” Xu Renjian frowned slightly. “But teacher, that was all in the past.”
Chu Qing said, “Right, it was better in the past. That’s what I wanted to say.”
Seeing that Xu Renjian still didn’t seem convinced after Chu Qing had spoken for so long, Yu Weixi rolled his eyes. “What he means is, you’re a perfectly fine man, what are you pretending for? Singing with a pinched voice like a sissy.”
“You…!” Xu Renjian trembled. “You! You’re a teacher, you’ve been playing on your phone and not paying attention to me. How can you critique me?”
Yu Weixi turned his phone screen towards him. “I was looking at you on my phone too. I was just wondering why you looked so familiar. Oh, so you’re a plagiarist.”
Xu Renjian’s body immediately stiffened.
Yu Weixi sneered, “While you were mumbling and chanting your song, I’ve already finished looking at your comparison chart and solid evidence. I didn’t know until I looked. So you’re a ‘creative’ singer who plagiarizes other people’s lyrics and songs.”
Chu Qing was taken aback.
Eh…?
Xu Renjian’s face was red. He paused and said, “That, that’s a rumor. Someone framed me. Teacher, you’ve misunderstood.”
“So? Does it matter if you plagiarized or not?” Yu Weixi spread his hands. “It doesn’t sound good anyway.”
Yu Weixi usually didn’t attack contestants like this, but this person had asked for it, so Yu Weixi wouldn’t just let it slide.
Xu Renjian was completely humiliated, angry but not daring to speak. He could only turn to Chu Qing. “Mr. Chu, I think this is everyone’s style. Everyone’s style is different. You… you’re not…”
Chu Qing frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, Mr. Chu can’t say that I sing like a sissy. This is my style. You, you also have your own style in life.”
The implication was that Chu Qing was also a sissy.
This was a point that Chu Qing had been criticized for for years, that he was indecisive and his posture was affected.
Bang!
Xu Renjian was startled by the sound.
He saw Yu Weixi slam his hand on the table and say coldly to Xu Renjian, “Can you act like a man? I’m the one roasting you. What do you mean by talking to Chu Qing? Don’t you dare talk to me? Coward.”
Xu Renjian lowered his head. “I didn’t mean anything by talking to Mr. Chu.”
“Then we don’t mean to give you a rating either. Get lost. If you don’t even have the most basic respect for the mentors, then don’t come on the show.” Yu Weixi crossed his arms and said coolly, “Mr. Lu, do you think that’s okay?”
Lu Jiayan nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”
“You…!” This time, Xu Renjian was really angered to the point of losing his reason. Having been pampered and praised by his own fans, when had he ever been treated like this? It was one thing for these two teachers not to be impressed by his skills, but to look down on him like this, and now to kick him out directly??
“Mr. Yu, can you even sing?! Are you that good?”
“And Chu Qing is just the little boss of Huiying Group’s…”
Crash!
A loud noise directly interrupted Xu Renjian’s words.
Everyone was startled.
Yu Weixi had directly thrown the mineral water bottle on the table at Xu Renjian’s feet. The bottle broke and splashed water everywhere, wetting Xu Renjian’s pant leg.
This time, Xu Renjian was completely quiet, not daring to speak.
In fact, no one on the scene dared to speak. Tian Yawei had even screamed in fright just now.
The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, on the verge of exploding.
Chu Qing stared blankly at Yu Weixi.
“Xixi… I…” Chu Qing didn’t know what to say.
After hearing the words “Huiying Group,” all Chu Qing could think of was, why did he know…
Why did Xu Renjian know…
The matter of him being kept, had it become so specific, and had it already spread everywhere?
Chu Qing’s hands turned a little cold.
“Director.” Yu Weixi said to the row of staff and the director standing outside the camera’s view, “Is the director here!”
The director raised his hand.
“Ah, I’m saying, should this show be changed a bit?”
“…?”
The director, wearing a mask, frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Yu Weixi was trying to do.
Yu Weixi stood up, leaned his hands on the table, and raised an eyebrow at the staff. “I think the production team has made a huge miscalculation. Look, we’re supposed to have all-round youths. We have acting, singing, dancing, and even rap. We’re just missing a character assessment. If you dare to invite them, you should let a few reviewers from the broadcasting bureau participate in the judging. Otherwise, all sorts of things can sneak in.”
The director helplessly waved his hand, signaling for Yu Weixi to tone it down.
We’re still recording…!
The director spoke up to control the situation, “Alright, that contestant, you can go to the waiting room first.”
The waiting room, not the ranking chairs on the side.
The production team seemed to have already made a decision, and had also given Yu Weixi and Chu Qing enough face and respect.
Yu Weixi was satisfied. After sitting down, he felt that his throat was a little dry from all the cursing. He wanted to drink water, but found that his water bottle had already been smashed.
The bottle was lying pitifully on the stage, shattered into pieces, a gruesome sight.
Yu Weixi: “…”
“Here.”
Yu Weixi was taken aback.
He looked up and saw Feng Yan handing him his own water bottle, smiling. “I haven’t drunk from it.”
“No need.” Yu Weixi turned his head away.
But Feng Yan held it out stubbornly, refusing to let go.
Lu Jiayan looked at the arm stretched across in front of him, and helplessly took the water bottle for Yu Weixi and handed it to him.
The staff was wiping the water on the stage to prevent the contestants from slipping while dancing. After all, the next to perform was a boy band, and they couldn’t avoid that puddle of water.
Yu Weixi felt a little awkward and looked down at his phone.
He kind of regretted smashing the water bottle.
If he had known, he would have smashed the scoring board. Now it was so awkward to clean up.
Feng Yan watched as Yu Weixi swiped his phone on the side, just not drinking the water he gave him, and couldn’t help but curl his lips.
So this is what the little Dance King looks like when he roasts people on a show.
He really dares to say anything.
Is there anything in this world that the little Dance King doesn’t dare to do?
Feng Yan was slightly lost in thought.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, until Chen Taochuan finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He stood up, held the mic, and said nervously, “Mr., Mr. Yu!”
Yu Weixi turned his head curiously.
“Mr. Yu! Do, do you want to perform a segment?”
Chen Taochuan was still bothered by Xu Renjian’s “are you that good,” and felt that his idol had been tarnished and misunderstood.
His idol was clearly so amazing, how could someone not know?!
“Teacher can perform a segment, to show us trainees your skills!” Chen Taochuan’s tone was a little excited.
Yu Weixi frowned slightly.
Ah?
Hearing this, Lu Jiayan immediately smiled. “Okay, good idea. Mr. Yu, why don’t you show us a segment?”
“Yeah! A segment! A segment!” Tian Yawei, fearing that the world was not in chaos, clapped her hands and rhythmically shouted “a segment,” leading all the trainees in the room to shout along.
Looking at the shouts filling the room, Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow, stood up, and said, “Fine, play some music.”
