Chapter 90: The First Person in the Anti-Fan Front

Tang Qiaoqiao intended to watch the show with an open-minded attitude, but it was really shocking.

It turns out that the songs sung by the trainees in the trailer are all auto-tuned. In real life, eight out of ten trainees are out of tune. The noise they made was equivalent to the sound at the scene of the car accident pierced through the brain. Some people also dance slightly better than the level of kindergarten children, but at least, kindergarten children dance neatly and cutely.

She really doesn't know how the permanent tutors can always smile. However, this is not the most unbearable for Tang Qiaoqiao, because after all, this audition is the process of picking one in a hundred.

It's just that these trainees are a little different from their predecessors. In the past, the routine of the talent shows was to sell pity. If there is no story, they must create a poor persona to win the sympathy of the judges and the audience. 

However, nowadays it is more popular for the trainees to follow the route of a rich person. For example, a trainee on the stage, who is giving a speech after performing a soft street dance. 

"I especially liked singing and dancing since I was in middle school, but my parents strongly opposed me. They had to send me to study abroad. Even my school enrollment was fixed. I didn't want to go. After all, the law and order in New York were not good. I don't think this life is for me, just like how my dad owns several houses in the capital, and it has nothing to do with me."

"But I was young at that time and couldn't violate my parents' order, so I went to New York. I didn't expect that I was abroad and there was still no freedom because the housekeeper, babysitter, and driver in the villa actually monitor me for my dad. Even the teachers in the school have my dad's spies."

Tang Qiaoqiao felt something was a little bit wrong when she heard this. 

One of the instructors asked, "Then how are you able to participate in this show?"

The trainee continued, "During my senior year, I was very annoyed so I traveled around and flew around America for a month. Later, an American singer and dancer that I particularly liked held a concert. I didn't want to go there because the driver will definitely report to my dad and I have to fight with him again. But at this time I received a ticket. I thought maybe a random club gave it to me so I would go for free. Who knows that after I went there, I found out that I was a VIP Guest because my dad sponsored the concert. He finally figured it out and decided to let me give it a try, so I came here."

Tang Qiaoqiao was completely speechless.

This short paragraph is both openly and secretly boasted. You can extract several important pieces of information. His family has several houses in the capital, he can make it a famous American school. Even when he is studying abroad, there is a butler, driver, and nanny. He can fly all over the Americas at will and has participated in many clubs. His Dad can directly sponsor concerts of well-known American singers.

To sum it up, there is only one sentence—Even if he does nothing, he can go home and inherit the family property.

The true essence of Versailles!

[T/N: Fán'ěrsài (凡尔赛) or Versailles, is an Internet slang meaning a mode of discourse that "shows off in a low-key manner", also known as "Fanxue". This mode of discourse first suppresses and publicly derogates himself but secretly praises himself, showing off while pretending to be in distress with an unhappy tone. For example, a friend complains on social media while describing the high-end hotels, luxury goods, and red wine they enjoy every day, with a light sense of superiority between the lines. The term came from the Japanese manga "The Rose of Versailles", which is about the life of the nobles at the Palace of Versailles in France at the end of the 18th century.]

【Good guy. Fuck this good guy. This speech is so extraordinary】

【It makes me feel awkward. If you want to show off wealth, please speak straight.】

【God, I am so cringed. My toes and feet are curled up!!!】

Unexpectedly, he was not over yet and said, "I was really worried that the show crew would look down on me because I have been abroad. The singing and dancing culture may be different from that in China. So I skipped a section casually, but I didn't expect to be selected. Thank you the producers and directors here."

Tang Qiaoqiao watched for a long time, throughout the whole journey, her expression was the

[T/N: It's a meme that looks like this]

In the live broadcast chatroom:

【Hahahahaha Tang Qiaoqiao's expression LMAO. I can't bear to look straight】

【Too real. I'm in the same mood as Tang Qiaoqiao now. The guy hasn't released any fart for a long time, but all of it just saying that his family is rich】

...

After the trainees said this "from the bottom of his heart", it was time for the instructors to comment. Tang Qiaoqiao had intended to listen with respect, but who knew that one of the instructors threw the conversation to Tang Qiaoqiao. "Teacher Tang will evaluate this student's performance."

Suddenly, all eyes were on Tang Qiaoqiao. The trainee also looked at her expectantly. The diamond watch on his wrist holding the microphone is gleaming.

Tang Qiaoqiao pondered for two seconds, picked up the microphone, and said, "I have also been a member of a girl team, debuted at the first place in the audition, released 18 albums, and held concerts with 10,000 people."

The director and audience were confused. When did Tang Qiaoqiao have this experience?

She immediately said, "This achievement did not rely on my parents or the sponsor. Everything was done by my own efforts."

As soon as she said this, there was a brief silence in the live broadcast, and then:

【hhhhhhh. I'm fucking laughed to death. Tang Qiaoqiao didn't play the cards according to common sense】

【Tang Qiaoqiao almost told the person: Quack, a person who always pretending is the most annoying. Mother***, speak directly】

【After all, Qiao Bao is determined to be a lady. How can she explode? Although, this goal is getting farther and farther and farther away from her LOLLLLLLLLL】

【Now it's not popular to sell pity. It's changed to show off wealth but concealing it. This kind of audition program is also very popular. Normal students who have no background at home can't make it.】

【The saddest thing is that these rich second generations can easily attract a large number of fans, no matter how bad his singing is】

【I would like to make Tang Qiaoqiao the first person in the anti-fan front! 】

...

Except for the live broadcast chatroom, the audience at the recording scene couldn't help but laugh as well. Luckily, the tutors managed to hold back their laughter. They didn't expect Tang Qiaoqiao to be so direct to embarrass the trainee.

"It was just a little joke." Tang Qiaoqiao started to comment seriously now. After all, she had accepted the money.

"Your persistent mentality is very commendable, but judging from your performance just now, your singing is not bad. However, your dancing does not make me feel your love at all. I think you may need to clarify the key points in your performance and speech in the future.

"Well, that's all I want to say." Tang Qiaoqiao put down the microphone.

Despite his ugly expression, the trainee bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher."

【Tang Qiaoqiao's evaluation is very good. His voice is actually OK, but his dancing is like he has not had a meal. No strength at all and the movements are ugly. It is better to follow the vocal route in the future】

【I hope there will be more talent shows' judge like Tang Qiaoqiao who will tell the truth, instead of just flattering or nodding. In the end, the selected pile of slag will pollute the eyes of the audience】

【I prefer to give more shots to the trainees from ordinary families. Otherwise, the final selection can only be Rich Boys Group haha】

Tang Qiaoqiao's comment was quickly edited by netizens and posted on Weibo, which undoubtedly became the focus. It also set off a wave of anti-Versailles quotations imitating her speech.

【I went to high school when I was ten, Beijing University when I was 12, and Harvard when I was 15. I didn't rely on my parents. Everything is what I daydreamed about.】

【You asked me what is the most expensive thing I bought on this Double Eleven day? Not much, it took half a year's salary. Anyway, it's just begging for food and starvation】

...

When they saw this heat, the program group was so happy that they could not wait to sign Tang Qiaoqiao for the whole audition process.
