Star-Crossed Aspirations Chapter 7

The makeup artist is helping Ryan Blake with his hair.

Ryan Blake looked in the mirror, a little absent-minded.

He, Bai Tianheng and Evan Lee are all from No. 3 Middle School.

He was promoted directly from the junior high school of No. 3 Middle School. Bai Tianheng passed the exam and Evan Lee transferred in.

The three of them were in different classes in their first year of high school, but were assigned to the same class in their second year of high school.

Evan Lee was younger than all of them at that time, short and timid. He was also the child of Ryan Blake's primary school class teacher, so Ryan Blake had always been very caring towards him.

As for Bai Tianheng...

In the words of other classmates in the class at that time: Bai Tianheng and Ryan Blake had a very confusing relationship. Sometimes they had a good relationship, and sometimes they had a bad relationship. One moment they were playing basketball together, and the next they were battling.

This is actually all due to puberty.

Adolescent boys are unstable, dishonest, and not as sensitive and carefree as girls. When they are in a good mood, they can play basketball, but if they disagree with each other, they will naturally turn hostile.

Bai Tianheng had a very bad temper back then, and was very sullen. Ryan Blake was outgoing and active, and the two could play together, but they also often quarreled with each other.

In addition, no one knew what was wrong with Bai Tianheng at that time, and he was always unhappy with Evan Lee, so Ryan Blake had many unpleasant arguments with him because of this.

Later, Bai Tianheng was chosen by a director to star in a movie. He was admitted to the Film Academy in his senior year of high school. Ryan Blake had good grades and was admitted to University A. The two had no contact after the college entrance examination and never met again.

Later, when Ryan Blake was a sophomore, the Jiang family went bankrupt...

"Close your eyes." The makeup artist took the powder and put a final touch on Ryan Blake's eye makeup.

Ryan Blake closed his eyes, his thoughts interrupted and he came back to his senses.

The two people beside him stopped talking and stared at the makeup artist, being very picky. "Please help me put on more eyeliner, it's not deep enough." "Is the eyeshadow too light? Is it enough? Not enough."

"Okay." Ryan Blake's makeup artist finished it.

Ryan Blake opened his eyes.

Apart from the school art performances when he was a child, this was the first time he wore makeup, and it felt so strange.

When I looked in the mirror again, I still felt uncomfortable. I always felt that I didn’t look like myself - the contours of my face were clearer and my facial features were more prominent.

If you look closely, actually nothing has changed, the face is still the same face, but after putting on makeup and styling her hair, her temperament is more prominent.

Ryan Blake looked in the mirror and slowly stood up.

As soon as he stood up, the two people next to him turned their heads and looked up, staring at him.

! ! !

"You, which company are you from?"

Ryan Blake lowered his head and looked at the person on the right: "No company."

The one on the left gasped: "Amateur?!"

Ryan Blake nodded without saying anything. After putting on his makeup, he made way for her, took out his name card from his bag, and stuck it on his left waist.

The business card is rectangular in shape, dark blue, without a number, and has a name on it. Usually, if the owner of the company has a company, the name of the company will be shown above the name. Ryan Blake does not have a company, so the business card only has a name on it.

When he was posting his name card, the two people who had just been there turned their heads to look, as if they couldn't believe that he was an amateur. When they saw that there was no company on his name card, they gasped.

Where did the program crew find these amateurs? Their appearance and temperament are so amazing!

For this primary assessment, the contestant process is as follows:

After finishing makeup, you have to wait in the backstage, hand in your cell phone, prepare for the individual group that is called, and enter area A for the formal recording.

In area a, there will be five levels of name cards, abcdf. Everyone can choose a level according to their actual situation and stick it on themselves.

After pasting, enter area B. Area B is a channel. After coming out of the channel, it is area C, which is today's recording site and stage.

After performing on the stage in area C, the four mentors will give on-the-spot evaluations and an overall score. After receiving the overall score, the contestants will sit behind the mentors.

At the back is a triangular stepped seating area, which is divided into five areas from top to bottom: abcdf, with a at the top and f at the bottom. The contestants choose the free seats in the corresponding area according to their scores. There is also a separate seat for the strongest king at the top. The contestant who gets a can sit there if he has the courage.

When Ryan Blake arrived at the waiting area, the recording had already begun. It was said that no less than three or four groups and more than twenty people had already entered.

There is a monitoring screen in the waiting area, so the contestants can watch the performance and scores of the people in front of them while waiting.

At this point, the contestants finally knew who their judging mentors would be today.

Shan Hao, Tong Renyan, Rong Beibei, Evan Lee

Three men and one woman, everyone in the entertainment industry knows these people.

Before Ryan Blake came, he only knew that Evan Lee was the mentor. He heard this while waiting in the waiting room for the interview. He had no idea who the other mentors were because Kai Maxwell said that it needed to be kept secret from the contestants.

Ryan Blake is also lucky. He is abroad, but his photo-editing skills are mastered in China. He has come into contact with the fan circle, and naturally, he has come into contact with half of the entertainment industry.

He just happened to know all these four mentors.

Shan Hao: Music producer and singer, he has been popular for at least 20 years. He is in his 40s and is well-known in the industry for his professionalism. He has written lyrics and composed music for many theme songs of TV series and movies.

Tong Renyan: He debuted in a group and transitioned to the film and television industry after going solo. He now balances his film and television and singing careers and has his own music company. He just held a world tour half a year ago, which received rave reviews.

Rong Beibei: A new star born after 1995, she debuted through a talent show, has a sweet appearance, is a recently promoted singing and dancing artist, and has received professional dance training.

Evan Lee: A singing and dancing artist who debuted through a talent show. He has no shortage of resources and traffic, and is a regular guest on many variety shows and large-scale evening parties.

Of course, Ryan Blake knew even more, most of which was told to him by Wang Paopao.

For example, although Rong Beibei is very young, he has extremely high demands on himself and others.

For example, although Tong Renyan's main career now is acting, he is very passionate about music. He has participated in many talent shows in recent years and is known for his harsh comments, especially some of his choice of words, which are very frightening.

For example, Shan Hao looks fierce, but he is actually a very nice and patient person. He is very tolerant of newcomers and mistakes.

As for Evan Lee...

Ryan Blake doesn't need to hear what others think of him, he knows what kind of person he is.

After Ryan Blake sat down in the waiting area, someone came over to collect his phone.

When he handed in his cell phone and bag, the initial evaluations of several instructors happened to appear on the big screen: three Fs.

There was an uproar in the waiting room.

"You dance very well."

"Just paddle."

"It felt like they were trying so hard to perform that they didn't pay attention to cooperation."

"Did you see Rong Beibei's expression just now? She frowned."

"And Evan Lee."

"Wow, this is so scary, so scary, they rated themselves as B, and they dropped directly from B to F, it's so cruel!"

Ryan Blake: Metaphysics, it’s all metaphysics.

One and a half hours later---

Program staff: "Five people from Unicorn Entertainment."

With a swish, the five people sitting behind Ryan Blake stood up with their legs shaking.

"And Ryan Blake, get ready and go to area A."

Enter area a and start the official recording.

The five people from Unicorn Entertainment came in first, followed by Ryan Blake.

Ryan Blake waited for another quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, the door to area A opened and the staff motioned for him to go in.

Ryan Blake walked in.

The room is not small, and its decoration style is like a space station, with white and blue tones, and rows of light tubes on the ceiling. The five letters ABCDF stand tall in front of a white wall. There is no cameraman or other staff, only cameras installed in several fixed positions.

As soon as Ryan Blake entered, he saw the table and the rank cards on the table. He walked over, glanced at them, and without much hesitation, he chose D and put it next to the name card on his left waist.

After putting it on, Ryan Blake looked up and smiled at the camera on the table that was looking at him: "People should have confidence."

After saying this, he raised his eyes.

There was nothing in area A. The five people from Unicorn Entertainment stayed there for a full fifteen minutes. What on earth did they do?

Ryan Blake looked left and right, with nothing to do.

There was nothing in the room except a table and a row of huge letters.

Ryan Blake walked to the letters, looked at f, shook his head, took a step sideways, looked at d, shook his head, "I don't actually want to choose yours", to c, "I've never had c in my life", b, "Brother, you and I are not destined to be together", a nodded.

Ryan Blake finished all this and shrugged, seeming a little helpless. Just then a camera turned around, and he looked at the dark camera lens and smiled: "I'll give you some more material, remember to edit it in."

The camera stayed there quietly for two seconds, then nodded.

Ryan Blake: "Good boy~"

This time, he waited longer, almost half an hour.

The door finally opened.

A staff member stood in the corner of the door and motioned Ryan Blake to come out.

Ryan Blake walked out and found that it was Kai Maxwell.

Kai Maxwell gestured for him to go in a certain direction and whispered, "Don't be nervous, come on."

"Thanks."

Ryan Blake walked along the passage at a moderate pace. After turning a small corner, he finally saw the stage.

Ryan Blake took a deep breath and encouraged himself: No problem, you can do it.

He looked up, walked out of the aisle and onto the stage.

Several beams of light were facing the stage, shining into Ryan Blake's eyes. Just as he walked onto the stage, there was an uproar in the mentors' seats behind him.

Seating area: "Wow---!!!"

Shan Hao and Tong Renyan looked at each other in disbelief. Evan Lee slightly widened his eyes in surprise. Rong Beibei leaned back and covered her mouth with her hands.

Ryan Blake walked to the center of the stage and did the usual thing: greeted the instructor and introduced himself.

Tong Renyan, the mentor who had been so sharp-tongued in the previous few rounds that he wished the contestants would tear him apart, took the microphone first, looked at Rong Beibei, looked behind him, then turned back and said, "Before you perform, I have a question for you."

Ryan Blake stood on the stage, adjusting to the lights, looking very calm.

He looked at Tong Renyan and nodded.

Tong Renyan couldn't help laughing: "Do you have a girlfriend? If not..." Then he turned to look at Rong Beibei: "Would it be convenient for you to add this person on WeChat?"

There was a burst of booing and whistling from the seats behind.

Someone else shouted, "Give it to her!"

Rong Beibei's face turned red.

A special waiting area separated from the stage by only a door.

Bai Tianheng looked at the live scene on the surveillance screen with an expressionless face.

disuse.

All contestants and mentors are eliminated!
