488 I Won’t Drink the Director’s Toast
As a newbie who had been in the entertainment industry for more than half a year, Shi Xi had a rough idea of the current situation.
If she chose a foreigner, her local fans would definitely curse her to the heavens.
If she chose a foreign trainee, not only would her local fans scold her, but they would also say that she was unpatriotic and had no sense of belonging.
Shi Xi smiled and suggested, “Let’s have an additional test. Shall we re-grade them?”
This was the best solution that Shi Xi could think of at the moment.
Share the responsibility.
She must not be allowed to decide on her own who would be the last to reach the Top.
The instructor from H Country, Quan Duoyuan, nodded and said, “I agree with Teacher Shi Xi’s suggestion. We’ll have an additional test so that we can re-score the contestants. This will be more fair.”
If Shi Xi were to re-evaluate the score alone, it might be biased.
It would be better for all five of them to re-score.
“But if everyone gives 10 points, what should we do?” Conrad asked.
Shi Xi: “…”
This person was so annoying.
“Why don’t we vote? Everyone, give one vote to the trainee you like,” Shi Xi suggested.
Five people voting for three people. Although there was a chance of a tie, it was much fairer than re-scoring.
The probability of giving each of them 10 points was too small, but the probability of giving the other contestants low points was not low.
The coaches all agreed.
The participating trainees had prepared a few stages. After the three of them had an additional test, the five coaches began to vote.
Shi Xi had resolutely chosen Bai Cangyang, while the other two teachers had also chosen their own country’s participants.
There were only two instructors left.
The two teachers looked at each other and finally chose Felomina.
The smile on Conrad’s face deepened as he announced excitedly, “The trainee who got on the Top for the first time is – Felomina!”
The lights were on, and Felomina bowed and sat down at the highest point.
Shi Xi was clapping in the audience, the smile on her face unclear.
As expected, they had already decided on the participating trainees to reach the Top.
If she had really chosen Bai Cangyang, the Festival Group might have made things difficult for her.
Shi Xi took the time to look at Bai Cangyang.
Although it was a little unfair, there was no such thing as fairness in a talent show.
Even though Bai Cangyang did not manage to reach the Top, it was still a good thing for him.
Selling fan tragedy?
She hoped that Bai Cangyang had learned it from the previous talent shows.
Bai Cangyang looked a little disappointed, but he still applauded and gave his blessings to Felomina.
Shi Xi thought, ‘Oh, he’s learned it.’
…
After the program was recorded, the trainees returned to their dormitories.
The mentors were all staying in the hotel.
Conrad invited Shi Xi to dinner.
Shi Xi had wanted to reject the offer, but she thought that it would be beneficial for the show’s post-production if she could build a good relationship with the other coaches, so she nodded in agreement.
The five coaches, together with the Festival Group’s director and higher-ups, went to the bar for a drink.
Shi Xi had initially thought that there would only be five mentors. She had not expected so many people to be present.
Most of them were men.
Out of the five mentors, only two were female.
One of them was Shi Xi, and the other was a mentor from H Country, Quan Duoyuan.
Quan Duoyuan was from a girl group in H Country. She had outstanding looks, long wavy hair, and was gentle and polite to people.
Shi Xi was closer to her as the only two female mentors in the tutor group.
After entering the private room of the bar, the director asked for a lot of wine and let everyone drink to their hearts ‘content.
Quan Duoyuan responded in a very familiar manner.
Shi Xi looked at the glass of wine before her. In the end, she picked up an empty glass, opened the glass that she had brought with her, and poured some water into it.
