Chapter 870: Chapter 870
Chapter 22 In the morning, everyone got up early.
Sixty people advanced to thirty.
The first competition is decided by the judges whether to advance or eliminate.
No one prepared a talent for this round, but playing the piano, dancing, singing, any talent can be showcased.
Because of a week of preparation, plus the full support of family.
So, this competition is extremely fierce.
Yan Yuan was placed to perform last.
Waiting from morning until two in the afternoon, she finally got her turn to perform, her last performance.
Who knew that at this time, the company’s floor suddenly lost power.
On the judges’ panel, the general manager angrily asked, "What’s going on? Why is there a power outage out of nowhere?"
After all, there was still one student left to advance, and a power outage at a critical moment was infuriating.
Employees quickly apologized, sent people to check the cause, and ten minutes later, the maintenance staff reported that the meter applauded and needed repairs, taking about half an hour.
Everyone present turned black with anger.
To wait half an hour for the last student was really unacceptable.
At this point, Director Liu sighed and said, "I think the previous students were good enough, choosing ten is more than enough. This last one, let’s eliminate her directly!"
The general manager of Fengying thought about it for a moment and found it feasible.
They couldn’t afford to wait half an hour for the last student. Everyone present, which one of them didn’t earn big bucks daily? Time is money.
"Alright then, we’re leaving. We have important business to discuss in the afternoon." The investor stood up directly. Anyway, twenty-nine have already advanced, and this last one doesn’t matter; only one will eventually be left.
Su Meili hid in a corner, looking proudly and happily at the dark stage.
"Yan Yuan, let’s see how you’ll advance now. I told you not to offend me; this is the consequence of opposing me!" Su Meili muttered to herself.
The girl beside her quickly complimented with a smile, "Meili, people like her deserve this. She should never rise in A City’s entertainment circle."
Seeing the judges stand up to leave.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly lit up from the stage.
The beam wasn’t large, but from a distance, it illuminated the center of the stage, enveloping a person within.
Right now, in the center of the light stood a person.
To be precise, it was a girl in ancient costume.
Everyone’s eyes were immediately drawn to the girl.
The young girl had long, dark hair like a waterfall, a water-blue dress, and flowing sleeves. Her tall figure made her ancient costume appear ethereal.
Just by looking at her appearance, she was captivating like a beautiful lotus emerging from the water.
Her face was exquisite, with subtly applied makeup, and under her smoky eyebrows, her big eyes were bright and lively, with red lips and white teeth.
Standing there so casually, she evoked the feeling of a fairy descending to the mortal world, with a noble and cool aura that made it hard for anyone to look away.
"Judges, could you give me a little time, just two minutes? Two minutes won’t delay your schedule, and it will allow Yan Yuan to showcase her prepared program." Yan Yuan slightly lowered her head, very courteous.
Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. That beauty, coupled with her cold demeanor, momentarily left everyone stunned.
The general manager frowned a bit, although he had been bribed by Su Meili to prevent Yan Yuan from performing.
But seeing such an unusual girl, unique in both attire and demeanor, he couldn’t bear to refuse.
Because he also wanted to see what kind of performance this girl could deliver.
The producer had already forgotten all of Su Meili’s words.
Not only his eyes but even his heart was drawn to Yan Yuan, and he couldn’t think straight.
"Alright, you can perform! We’re all watching!" From the dark judges’ table, someone said.
Soon after, there were nods, with everyone in agreement.
Yan Yuan nodded slightly, then played music from her phone and began her performance.
Actually, the performance project wasn’t anything special.
Working as an actress merely tested Yan Yuan’s dance skills, looks, and acting talent.
Yan Yuan chose dance as well.
However, her dance was somewhat special.
There were wires on the stage. She couldn’t fly now, but she had the skills to fly in dance.
Back in the Heavenly Palace, she learned many dances, any of which were more eye-catching than the others’ jumping around.
Yan Yuan performed the Flying Sky Dance.
With wires attached to her, she moved as if she had wings, effortlessly flying back and forth on stage, and even performed a long-sleeve dance.
Her graceful figure leaped, spun, and flipped.
The moves that ordinary people found difficult were effortlessly executed by her, with an impressive beauty.
At that moment, the stage seemed to be her world, where she shone brightly.
Even with a single weak beam of light, she radiated like the sun.
Su Meili was stunned as she watched Yan Yuan.
"This is impossible! How can she perform such a difficult dance?" Su Meili exclaimed. The most challenging dance wasn’t on the ground but in the air.
Especially with wires, it is hard to control one’s balance, let alone dance.
In general, when filming ancient dramas or fantasy dramas, flying dances rely on wires and effects.
Humans couldn’t do it at all.
Yet Yan Yuan not only did it but did it so perfectly.
Even without the lights, she shone so brightly.
Su Meili angrily squeezed her handkerchief, damn it! Wasn’t there a power outage?
Where did the stage light come from?
"Go find out how this light came about!" Su Meili ordered the girl beside her.
The girl didn’t dare to delay and immediately turned to leave the selection site.
Just at that moment, a burst of applause erupted in the room.
Centered on the general manager, the producer, and the judges, everyone not only applauded but also thought this web drama happened to be a fantasy drama.
They all had a consensus in their hearts that this web drama seemed tailor-made for Yan Yuan.
In her current state, she perfectly fits the image of the female lead in a web drama.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Yan Yuan finished as well. She stood at the center of the stage, looking at the judges, said, "Although I am a newcomer, I will work hard to make myself excellent and capable of playing any role. Please give me a chance."
The general manager and producer exchanged a glance and were somewhat troubled, for they had previously accepted benefits from Su Meili.
Other viewers below were amazed and exclaimed, "So beautiful! I’m impressed!"
"Yeah, during the military training, we all heard she was the strongest among the girls. I think in this talent competition, she’s also strong. I feel inferior."
"Yes! I’m already advanced. If she can’t advance, Fengying’s judges must have been bribed."
"Today has been eye-opening, and I’m willing to bow down. However, I’ll work hard."
The discussions continued endlessly.
Evidently, these students are also sharp-eyed.
One couldn’t deny that among these girls, Yan Yuan was indeed the most capable.
At this time, Fengying’s general manager was extremely troubled.
If it was for Su Meili, rejecting such a talented student might make her turn to other companies, which would make her a strong competitor for Fengying.
If Yan Yuan were to advance, then he would offend Su Meili.
But he was Fengying’s general manager; he couldn’t do anything self-destructive to his career.
He considered the matter and felt it needed to be reported to the boss.
As long as the boss agreed, it didn’t matter if he offended Su Meili. After all, he wasn’t working for the Su Family.
Thus, the general manager, Zhao Qiankun, immediately called Bai Chenxi.
After informing Bai Chenxi of the situation, the usually gentle man, for once, wore a cold expression and his tone was freezing.
"Zhao Qiankun, I have faith in you because I believe you have the ability to manage Fengying well. If you are someone who can be bought, then pack your things and get out now." Bai Chenxi felt inexplicably angry.
Especially, over these years.
His emotions stabilized; he dealt with everything calmly.
Now, thinking of the person he promoted with his own hands being bought, would they betray him someday too?
"No, no, BOSS listen to me. Because Miss Su has a special relationship with your family. Rumor has it that she might become Fengying’s boss lady in the future, so I don’t dare offend her." Zhao Qiankun, in a moment of nervousness, blurted out everything on his mind.
