Chapter 41 – Hey Everyone, I’M Huo Xunzhou, The Stage Witness

Chapter 41: Hey Everyone, I’m Huo Xunzhou, the Stage Witness

The discussion about the middle seat was very intense.

However, there was no live broadcast on the big screen this time, so no one could see the comments.

As soon as Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu entered the arena, there was a commotion coming from the members. The number of comments also increased in an instant:

[I’m neither bragging nor hating on Lin Shanchu, but that white dress is 1000% compatible with her.]

[There really are people who look so good in clothes that resemble tablecloths.

I’m so jealous that I’m crying right now…]

[So what if she’s good-looking? She’s just a decoration who can’t sing and dance.]

[Yo hater, I love Lin Shanchu for her looks.]

[Don’t you guys think that Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu make a great couple with their black and white outfit ensemble?]

[Are they in a group? Holy hell, I really love the idea of them being together!]

[Heh! Lin Shanchu isn’t capable at all, so she thinks she’ll be able to gain fans by tagging herself with another member. How disgusting.]

From the last live broadcast, the production crew understood that Lin Shanchu was the key to gaining the attention of the public.

As soon as Lin Shanchu entered the venue, the camera was trained on her the whole time.

She wore a plain white dress today. Her thick long hair was splayed behind her like dark ink, making her look beautiful and otherworldly.

Some members gathered together and whispered, “Lin Shanchu looks so beautiful in that white dress. I look forward to watching her performance.”

“I saw her doing a dance practice with Yun Wu two days ago. I think it’s a dance that makes her look like a fairy.”

Yun Wu raised her head and glanced at the seating arrangement. “Where are we sitting?

Lin Shanchu looked up and saw the middle seat that was located at the top of the stands. “Let’s sit at the very top.”

There was a pair of seats located right below the central position.

Yun Wu ran to one of the seats and sat down. She grabbed the other chair while turning around to look at Lin Shanchu.

“Let’s sit…”

The moment Yun Wu noticed Lin Shanchu taking the top seat, she couldn’t continue the rest of the sentence.

The words ‘Holy sh*t… The haters are going to hate on you again’ were written all over Yun Wu’s face.

“This chair seems to be a little bigger than the others,” Lin Shanchu said while looking rather serious.

Yun Wu was speechless. She thought that Lin Shanchu was really dense at times.

New comments quickly popped up on the screen. [Holy sh*t! Lin Shanchu has taken the middle seat!]

[How the heck is she this brave?]

[Isn’t that Xia Jinmeng’s seat?]

[What’s wrong with her taking the middle seat? Is Xia Jinmeng’s name engraved on that seat, huh?]

[I’m just a passerby. I think Lin Shanchu’s trying to gain everyone’s attention.]

[You haters have too much time on your hands. You insist on hating Lin

Shanchu no matter what she does.]

Xia Jinmeng, who was frequently mentioned on the screen, entered the venue at this time.

She had once made a name for herself overseas, thus already having her own fanbase. Now that she returned to the country and joined the talent show, she intended to compete for the top spot as the main girl.

The company that Xia Jinmeng had a contract with took a liking to her and allowed her to appear in other variety shows before. At the same time, the company kept promoting her, so she maintained her popularity the whole time.

However, Lin Shanchu appeared out of nowhere.

The day she entered the production crew, she went viral.

Xia Jinmeng, who was originally the most popular member of the show, ended up getting ignored by everyone other than her fans.

As soon as Xia Jinmeng entered, she saw Lin Shanchu sitting in the middle seat.

That seat should have been hers!

A member who knew Xia Jinmeng greeted her. “Jinmeng!”

Xia Jinmeng suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and replied to her with a smile.

The comments were posted again.

[Xia Jinmeng is so cool! You’re killing me with coolness, my long-legged goddess!]

[Um… It’s obvious that Lin Shanchu’s legs are slightly longer…]

[So that’s Xia Jinmeng. It seems that she’s made a ton of appearances lately.

She looks different compared to the other members.]

[I look forward to seeing Xia Jinmeng’s performance on the stage.]

The members arrived one after another.

Next up was the appearance of the mentors.

The first to appear was the dance instructor, Qin Shuya.

She was once a famous Chinese female singer. Even though she was nearly 40 years old, her voice and physical form were in excellent condition. She maintained her brilliant performance onstage as she sang and danced at the same time. She didn’t even pant once she was done with her performance.

Next was the singing instructor, Xu An.

He had been the most popular male singer in the Chinese rankings for several consecutive years.

Finally, Bai Yu, the music production instructor, was introduced.

The comments went wild.

[Is Qin Shuya capable of being young forever? She still looks beautiful as usual, not to mention she’s amazing at performing!] [Xu An’s songs are still so touching.] [This is amazing! They actually invited Bai Yu to the show!]

[The mentor lineup is too strong!]

[A huge thank you to the production crew for allowing me to watch such wonderful performances without spending a penny!]

The three instructors were all experienced and talented seniors.

Typically speaking, one might not be able to secure tickets to their concerts even if they were to spend money.

Everyone loved to watch a wonderful performance.

The members were so excited that they cheered and screamed.

Lin Shanchu was also excited.

She clapped madly for the mentors from the middle seat to the point that her hands were already sore.

Her seat was too eye-catching, so the director did a close-up shot of her. Lin Shanchu was so engrossed in watching the performance that she stood up and applauded.

More comments were posted.

[Hahaha! Is Lin Shanchu seriously that crazy woman who keeps clapping nonstop?]

[Dear fairy, can you act more like a fairy instead of a human? At this rate, I’d start thinking that you’re a human instead!]

[The way she jumps and screams makes her seem classless.]

[Please don’t tell me that the reason that lady joins this show is to cheer on everyone…]

Lin Shanchu did have the intention to cheer on everyone.

The rest of the members clearly excelled in performing, whereas she was unable to perform well due to her weak body.

Then again, since Lin Shanchu was already here, she might as well take up the middle seat and cheer on everyone in order to feel more inclusive.

The last person to show up on the stage was the stage witness.

It was said that the stage witness was also a relatively famous senior in the entertainment industry.

However, when the production crew made the announcement on Weibo, they never mentioned anything about the stage witness. Many netizens thought that the role of the stage witness was given to someone else.

“I heard that they changed the stage witness,” Yun Wu turned around and whispered to Lin Shanchu.

“Oh.”

Lin Shanchu wasn’t very concerned about this. With Nan Mu’s connections, he would definitely invite a famous and experienced celebrity to become the stage witness.

All she had to do was to clap for the guest. Someone said, “I’m coming.”

Lin Shanchu started to clap very seriously.

Then, a collective of gasps sounded from the members.

“Hey everyone, I’m Huo Xunzhou, the stage witness.”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice came out of the microphone and echoed to every corner of the studio. The members began to scream.

“Ah!”

“It’s the best actor, Huo Xunzhou!”

The comment section also became lively.

[The man who once conquered the entertainment industry with his looks is here!]

[The production crew is awesome!]

[The producer is Nan Mu, after all! How can they not be awesome?]

Huo Xunzhou was wearing a white shirt without a tie. His collar was slightly open, revealing his Adam’s apple. He sat upright in his wheelchair while looking very noble.

He raised his head and swept his gaze toward the members’ seating area. “The initial stage assessment will now begin. ”

The accompanying staff pushed Huo Xunzhou to the mentors’ seating area.

Huo Xunzhou then announced the first group of members.

The first group of members came from a large company.

Their performance was just average.

In the group consisting of six members, two of them were ranked B, three were ranked C, whereas the last one got an F rank.

Since there were only five available slots for the girl group, that meant only five members could obtain rank A.

The competition was very intense.

The instructors were very strict. By the time it was Lin Shanchu and Yun Wu’s turn to perform, only an A-ranker was announced among the members that had performed.

Huo Xunzhou looked down at his documents and said into the microphone,

“Next up, we have two individual members – Yun Wu and Lin Shanchu.”

The man’s voice slowed down. When he called out Lin Shanchu’s name, he sounded affectionate in nature.

Lin Shanchu silently rubbed her ears before drawing to her feet to go up to the stage with Yun Wu..
