Qi Wu tilted her head. Despite the confusion she felt when she heard Tong Luo’s request, she still nodded in agreement.
Without Qi Wu staring at her, Tong Luo finally felt less stressed.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
The next thing she heard was a robotic voice echoing from the loudspeaker in the stadium. “Attention, contestants. The live broadcast will begin in three minutes.”
Meanwhile, “Rookie Assembly ” was also being broadcast on Chaoyang TV’s official livestream. Before the stream even started, there were already 100,000 viewers.
The audience stared at the countdown timer with hearts racing in anticipation as the chat sped by.
‘Finally, it’s starting! You’ve made me wait for so long!’
‘Can we only vote after the stream starts? I want to vote for Angel already.’
‘Let’s go!’
‘It’s starting!’
The countdown finally ended. The next thing the audience knew, they were staring at the contestants on their screens.
The huge group of colorfully dressed contestants standing inside the vast stadium was such a refreshing sight for the audience. The camera even slowly panned across everyone’s faces, resulting in more people commenting. The stars of the discussions were primarily the last few contestants.
‘Help! Jiang Yiran is so hot! I love it!’
‘That outfit is so sweet and sensual. How is that possible? Is this Jiang Xuxu’s runway? I’m in love!’
‘Tong Luo looks so beautiful in her traditional warrior’s outfit. She looked just like one of those classical heroines when she’s not smiling.’
‘Shoot! Guys, what do I see? Is that Angel next to Tong Luo?’
‘It’s Giselle! She’s wearing one of Dream Fantasy’s latest designs. She looks so good in it!’
‘That’s from Dream Fantasy? Well, Chang Xun is her manager. It’s not weird.’
‘Even if she’s cursed with a senior like Jin Si, she’s really safe to debut. Good luck, Giselle!’
3 minutes after the stream started, Song Qi and the other mentors appeared by their seats on the stage.
“We welcome our 60 contestants to the first stop in their journey—the Newcomer Competition! ”
In the dressing room, the contestants stared up at the screen and listened to Song Qi’s speech.
“Voting has now started. Once the competition is over, the 4 contestants of each category with the least votes will be leaving us for good. Reminder, a vote from a mentor will increase the contestant’s votes by 20%.”
There was an uproar in the dressing room because of that last rule.
It meant that if a contestant had 100 votes, a mentor’s vote would push the number up to 120.
Every mentor only had 1 vote.
Some of them might not even give their vote out at all.
“The order of the performances will be determined by lottery.” Soon, the results were shown on the screen.
The first to perform was a contestant from the Idol category.
It was impossible for the first to perform to not feel anxious. The contestant took a deep breath and put on a dazzling smile before walking over to the stage.
“Qi Wu, I’m getting nervous.”
Tong Luo suddenly whispered from her spot next to Qi Wu.
Qi Wu tilted her head and looked at her. “Why?”
Tong Luo gave Qi Wu a wan smile. “Perhaps I’ve been away from the stage for too long. It’s no longer familiar to me.”
She had never given up on acting in the past few years. She longed to return to the stage she loved.
However, just as that moment was about to happen, Tong Luo shrank back.
Perhaps this was what people felt when they said they were afraid of home.
Qi Wu put a hand on the back of Tong Luo’s head, gently forcing her to look up.
Tong Luo looked at her in a daze.
All she could think of was Qi Wu’s tranquil and reassuring warm gaze.
“You’re good enough,” Qi Wu slowly said as Tong Luo stared in shock. “You’ve never made a mistake in our practice, and you won’t this time either.”
Tong Luo was so strict with herself that she obsessed over minute details. Qi Wu sighed. “Relax a little. Pushing too hard will only backfire on you.”
Upon hearing that, Tong Luo lowered her head in embarrassment like a guilty kid. “I-I will be careful.’
Qi Wu smiled and nodded before calmly pulling back.
Unbeknownst to them, what happened was being broadcast on the stream.
Everyone who watched what happened went crazy.
‘Qi Wu is the epitome of gentleness!’
‘Tong Luo wasn’t like this in the previous two episodes. I can only say that gentleness is really a very powerful force!’
‘Angel is beautiful and kind, but she’s a little too strong.’
‘The person above me is hilarious. No one expected the gentle and demure angel to be the best at arm wrestling 101.’
The people were not blind. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Tong Luo was more cheerful and lively now. She was even willing to show her true self.
All of the changes could be attributed to Qi Wu.
Tong Luo was one of the first few contestants to perform, Hence, it was soon her turn. Qi Wu watched as she stood up.
Tong Luo chose to perform a scene from the movie “Chivalry” where a young lady who wanted to make a name for herself saved the women and children of the market.
This young lady had a chivalrous heart, but she was reckless and did not care about the consequences of her actions. This was a scene that changed her perspective on the world and marked the moment when she started growing into the mature heroine she would be in the future.
Tong Luo was a young woman, so she looked perfect for the role of a young and impetuous lady.
“Today, justice will be served!”
The young woman was dressed in a pure white robe and had a sword in her hand. She did not show any weakness when she stared at the lechers in front of her with eyes filled with tenacity and a strong sense of righteousness.
Song Qi nodded from her spot without batting an eyelid.
“Finally, she looks like how she used to be.”
When Tong Luo ended her performance, the stream was overwhelmed with excited responses.
‘In Tong Luo’s first role, she played a blind girl. I was entranced by her quick-wittedness in the show.’
‘I can tell that Tong Luo really loves acting. She’s putting a lot of effort into portraying this character!’
‘The blind girl was the role that turned me into a fan. I’ve been waiting for her to grow up. Thank goodness, she’s still as good as before. I’m so happy!’
While a few of her old fans and random internet strangers tried their best to get the others to vote for Tong Luo, Tong Luo went straight to the dressing room to sit down next to Qi Wu..
