Top-Notch Personal Meal (3)
Mu Cai was surprised.
It wasn’t because he was acting or anything. According to the original plot, the original Mu Cai did participate in the variety show named “Rookie Star”. But the reason he participated in the show was because he heard from Mo Hengqing that Gu Yunchen was also going to be there, so he pestered his agent Mr. Su Xingyun to let him participate. Mr. Su Xingyun didn’t want to agree with Mu Cai, but he reluctantly agreed because Mu Cai was Mo Hengqing’s brother.
But now the plot had suddenly changed. The other party was throwing the bait at him, suggesting that he can participate without doing anything.
Ignoring this feeling of surprise, Mu Cai was still looking at Su Xingyun silently, waiting for him to continue talking.
The young man’s soft black hair drooped over his ears as if he was very nervous. He held his hands tightly in front of him and looked at Su Xingyun with a pair of bright eyes. His black pupils seemed to be filled with him.
Mu Cai looked excited while still being well-behaved.
Su Xingyun quietly withdrew his eyes.
He calmly suppressed his somewhat amazed emotion and then started introducing the variety show “Rookie Star” to the two trainees in front of him.
Rookie Star was a variety show launched by Sweet Orange Video Company. Under the guidance of teachers and judges, through various tasks, training, and evaluation, a group of newcomers was selected to make their debut after going through an elimination competition.
Sweet Orange Video was one of the leading video websites in China and had numerous potential customers. In addition, the competitive system of the variety show was novel, and the online voting method could also rouse the enthusiasm of the audience, and led them to spontaneously make a list and publicize them.
The participants in this variety show were basically newcomers from entertainment companies of various sizes, with hundreds of new faces and different personalities, which could satisfy the aesthetics and preferences of different audiences.
Su Xingyun, as an elite agent of Capitol Hill Entertainment, had a keen business sense. He was very optimistic about this variety show and felt this variety show would be very popular after broadcast. There were hundreds of people who took part in the competition, although there were many competitors, it was also a good opportunity for newcomers with personality and ability to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, he soon thought of Liang Yunxi and Mu Cai from the new batch of trainees the company had trained for over half a year and assigned to him.
However, when Su Xingyun came this time, he only intended to tell Liang Yunxi about this and let him participate in the variety show. Unexpectedly he saw Mu Cai, who unprecedentedly took the initiative to come to training for the first time.
Su Xingyun felt that Mu Cai’s behavior was different from the past. When he heard him mention the name of Gu Yunchen in the past, he behaved like an obsessive lunatic but today, he just gritted his teeth and insisted on doing the part of the dance he was not good at and obediently followed the team leader to prepare for solo training.
It looked as if the other person had finally listened to what he said.
Even if Mu Cai entered the entertainment industry just to pursue Gu Yunchen, it was useless to be infatuated. Only by strengthening himself and reaching a height that could be seen by the other party, would he have a chance to be in the eyes of the other party.
Otherwise, Gu Yunchen wouldn’t even bother to know what Mu Cai was doing.
After seeing the young man who couldn’t be persuaded earlier was starting to get on the right track, Su Xingyun’s heart gave rise to a paternal mentality.
He suppressed this strange emotion at the bottom of his heart and decided to give Mu Cai a chance as well, that’s why he stopped both of them at the same time.
After explaining the rules and procedures of the variety show to both of them, he calmly asked for the opinion of the two people in front of him, “Do you want to participate?”
Liang Yunxi was the captain of the group of the new batch of trainees. He had the strength and wanted to be popular, so of course, he nodded his head in agreement. Mu Cai, needless to say, had to follow the plot and also had to contact Gu Yunchen to consolidate his persona, so he had to participate as well. He also nodded his head.
Su Xingyun’s heart felt like a stone was lifted from his chest but his expression remained the same. He just pushed up his glasses, glanced at the two people in front of him, and said, “From today onwards, you guys train well, and you’ll be joining the show in about a month.”
He paused for a moment and looked at Mu Cai, “Especially you, focus on your dancing during this time.”
A little redness appeared on Mu Cai’s pale face, he knew his foundation in dancing was very poor, so he immediately nodded obediently, “Yes…”
Liang Yunxi put his hand on Mu Cai’s shoulder and said with a smile to Su Xingyun, “Brother Su, you can rest assured. I will train him well.”
Su Xingyun nodded and after glancing at them he turned and left.
For the next half month or so, Mu Cai was totally exhausted. The training courses were divided into three parts: dance, singing, and acting, which were scattered throughout the day.
Mu Cai showed no talent for dancing and acting, but his singing surprised his teacher. He had a clear and pleasant wide-ranged voice with good intonation and excellent congenital conditions. But he lacked breathing skills and techniques.
However, his talent in singing didn’t give him the opportunity to reduce his training. He was still dragged to solo training by Liang Yunxi every day to make up for the training he passed on before.
In the past half month, although Mu Cai felt his food intake was increasing day by day, his weight was still plummeting before everyone’s eyes during the weekly weighing session.
When Mu Cai got off the weighing machine, Zhao An took advantage of Liang Yunxi’s absence and quietly touched Mu Cai’s arm.
Usually, the team leader was very strict and observed them closely, but he had wanted to touch it for a long time.
Mu Cai didn’t understand what Zhao An was doing, he just looked down at the place where he was being touched, his face showing a blank and innocent look.
Zhao An’s heart was tickled, and he couldn’t help but want to touch him again.
However, when he was about to touch again, the team leader’s cold voice echoed in the room, “Zhao An you’ve gained another two pounds. From today onwards, you will do 20 extra push-ups every day.”
Zhao An lifted his shirt to show his abs to the people in the room and yelled, “Captain, you’re just taking revenge! Everyone, come and help me judge the truth of this matter? Why is there such a Captain?”
His complaints weren’t answered by anyone, everyone regarded him as nothing.
Sneaking around Mu Cai was unforgivable.
