Song Qi coldly snorted and scanned the people in the back row.
With raised eyebrows and a voice full of disappointment and frustration, he asked, “Why are you in the last row?”
None of them dared to speak and lowered their heads in unison.
That infuriated Song Qi even more.
However, he did not say anything. After glancing at Qi Wu, he walked to the stage.
Qi Wu had shown herself to have quite a steady mind.
“Quiet.”
Song Qi’s arrival made the contestants stop discussing Tong Fei and Qiu Yan.
“You had a few days to adapt to life here, so classes will now start. I believe you have all heard the news. There will be a total of three mentors. Not only will the mentors be teaching you, but they will also be the judges for the contest.”
“When you choose your path, each mentor has three deciding votes that can allow a contestant to directly get into the desired category, and others cannot snatch the spot from that contestant.”
Many of the contestants were excited to hear that.
The vote was a guaranteed entry into the contest!
“I wonder who the other two mentors are,” someone commented.
“I hear they’ll all be famous people!”
“Mr. Song himself is very famous and talented, so the other two mentors must be the same.”
Song Qi did not leave the contestants guessing for long. He clapped his hands.
Suddenly, one of the doors behind him opened to reveal a middle-aged woman who still retained her charm.
The woman was wearing a beige leisure dress. Her movements were elegant and dignified while her eyes were cold and stern.
However, her aloofness did not curb the contestants’ enthusiasm. “Let us welcome my old friend, award-winning singer Tang Liuhua!”
“It really is Ms. Tang!”
“She’s way too famous for this!”
“Ms. Tang hasn’t taught anyone for five or six years, right? Mr. Song is really impressive!”
“I’m starting to look forward to the next mentor.”
Tang Liuhua was a serious person, but her expression softened a little when she saw Tan Song. “I am Tang Liuhua.”
As soon as she spoke, the contestants fell silent.
“My requirements will be very strict. If you can’t accept that, don’t learn from me.”
Many of the contestants who were excited to see her immediately changed their minds because of that.
After all, anyone who was an old friend of Song Qi…They would be equally as strict as him.
However, Tang Liuhua didn’t mind the silence. After saying her piece, she retreated to Song Qi’s side.
Song Qi coughed. “There’s still one last mentor. Let’s welcome…”
As soon as he said that, the last door opened.
A tall man walked out from inside. He had a warm smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and distant.
As soon as he appeared, many women in the hall could not help but scream.
“It’s Shen Xi, one of China’s very first idols!”
“Oh my god, Shen is actually going to be a mentor! This is his first time being a mentor after his transition from an idol, right?”
“This lineup of mentors is godlike!”
Although Shen Xi wasn’t as experienced as Song Qi and Tang Liuhua, he was the only one among the first generation of idols in China who successfully shifted career paths and won the title of Best Actor.
Therefore, even though he was now a fully-fledged actor, his fans were still as loyal and fanatic as idol fans.
When Song Qi saw this, he could not help but tease, “It seems that Shen Xi is still the most popular among us. Look at how excited these girls are.”
Shen Xi smiled. “We still have you to thank for inviting us.”
Now that all three mentors were here, they could excite the contestants just by standing there.
How could the contestants not be excited when a top figure in the industry would become their mentor?
“The three mentors have listed the classes they will be teaching. You can sign up to whichever you like, but the production team will not interfere if the mentors refuse to take you on as a student.” Silence instantly fell.
However, few people had any objections.
Soon, the three mentors left the lecture hall, leaving the space for the contestants to sign up for their classes.
Before he left, Shen Xi glanced at the last row of the lecture hall. “Song, is that Qi Wu, the one who was trending last night?”
“Yeah. Were you actually paying attention to that?”
At the same time, Qi Wu looked up at Shen Xi’s retreating figure for one brief second before looking away.
Tong Luo, who was sitting beside her, was still struggling with which classes to pick.
“Mr. Shen is a capable actor. Mr. Song has also witnessed the birth of many
Best Actors and Best Actresses. He has a sharp eye…”
“Why don’t you just go to all of them?”
Qi Wu calmly interrupted.
Tong Luo stared in shock. “Isn’t this a little disrespectful to the teachers?”
“It doesn’t matter. They won’t mind.”
“That’s true.”
Tong Luo quickly got over it.
She was confident that she would definitely be able to attend the same classes as Qi Wu, but when she handed in her form, she suddenly realized that she only had one class that overlapped with Qi Wu’s.
“Aren’t you going to Mr. Song’s class?” Tong Luo could not help but ask.
The courses that Qi Wu chose were all taught by Shen Xi.
However, while Shen Xi had offered classes on acting, most of his classes were about being an idol. Hence, there were only three acting classes in a week.
In other words, Qi Wu only had three acting classes.
Qi Wu calmly shook her head. “No.”
“Why?”
“He has a bad temper,” Qi Wu softly replied.
Tong Luo was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, at the control room.
The three mentors and the staff members in the control room all heard Qi Wu’s reply.
Shen Xi could not help but laugh. He looked at Song Qi, whose face had darkened. “Song, what did you do to her?”
Song Qi suddenly remembered the girl telling him in all seriousness that he seemed upset.
Qi Wu liked to hold onto grudges, it seemed.
“I don’t want to teach her anyway!” he coldly snorted. “Maybe she’s all show and no go!”
“Didn’t you say that she changed Tan Song?”
Tang Liuhua suddenly chimed in.
Song Qi choked when he heard that. “It’s just a small change. Perhaps Tan Song had gotten through his mental block himself!”
At that moment, Qu Man walked over.” Ms. Tang, Mr. Shen.”
She looked at Song Qi, who was throwing a tantrum, and rolled her eyes.
“Ignore Song, he just refuses to acknowledge Qi Wu’s strength.”
“How is it a refusal to acknowledge her? She’s refusing to attend my class. I’m not stopping her!”
Song Qi was so angry that his wrinkled face turned red as he loudly defended himself.
Qu Man clicked her tongue. “Oh, I see. You’re jealous that Qi Wu didn’t choose your class..”
