At the end of this "performance", the atmosphere in the entire studio fell into an eerie silence.


The trainees did not dare to comment easily, fearing that if the instructor would encourage him, he might be scolded by netizens if he complained too much.

But to be honest, all the trainees felt in their hearts that this kind of performance was a bit underwhelming when dealing with a very meaningful first stage.

It can even be said to give people a feeling of being offended and uncomfortable.

He can perform poorly, he can make mistakes, even if his strength is poor, it doesn't matter.

If the strength is not good, you can continue to practice hard, and he is not the only one who does not perform well. But from the attitude he has shown since he came to power, there is not the slightest sense of his awe for the stage.

What is the stage?

Stage means more than just an opportunity, a place to express yourself. It embodies the sweat that everyone has paid for, and the bitterness of failures that the audience cannot see behind them, witnessing them slowly stumbling from stumbling to being able to start to shine.

A good stage is bound to go through a long process of polishing. One minute on stage and ten years of work off stage. Behind every moving stage are countless days and nights of desperate practice.

The reason why dull grit can be transformed into bright and bright pearls, first of all, must have the tenacity that can withstand grinding for ten years.

There are also many trainees who come to the competition without adequate preparation, but their attitude is completely different from Zhou Cun. They honestly admit that their strength is not good, and they will definitely practice hard to catch up with everyone in the future.

On the stage, Zhou Cun was obviously very satisfied with his performance just now.

Maybe he is too young to have the awareness of expression management. His emotions are all written on his face: I have only practiced for three days, and this level is very good. The tutors should praise me for my talent. Bar?

Obviously, he was wrong.

Producer Choi Ji-ho, who has not said any serious words since the start of recording, has no expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Cun very seriously, and instead of commenting immediately, he asked him a question: "How do you think your performance just now?"

Zhou Cun was still breathing a little after the activity, but he calmed his breath and showed a smile: "Not bad? This song is quite difficult to sing and dance. There are also rap parts, which should be considered relatively comprehensive. But because I practiced after all. The time is relatively short, there are a few mistakes, and it will definitely be better if you practice more."

He probably also thought that his evaluation was very objective, not completely praising himself, but also pointed out some problems.

On top of that, his practice time is short and he has a lot of room for improvement.

After listening to his answer, producer Cui Zhihao was not disappointed, but raised his hand tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows.

He didn't know how to speak.

There were too many problems, and most importantly, Zhou Cun didn't even realize the most fundamental problem. What should he say?

Yao Chen, who was the only one in the men's team among the mentors, was the most uncomfortable. He picked up the microphone and looked directly into Zhou Cun's eyes. The tone is not harsh, even gentle: "Do you know how long it took me from becoming a trainee to stepping on my first stage?"

Zhou Cun was stunned and shook his head.

Yao Chen smiled and said, "One thousand six hundred and forty-two days. Four and a half years."

Zhou Cun was completely stunned.

Yao Chen is very calm, as if he doesn't think he has had a hard time in the past, just stating: "I was not as lucky as you are now when I was young, there are so many platforms and programs that allow you to pass three months of training. I have a chance to debut. I came out as a traditional trainee. I signed with the company at the age of 13 and a half. I left home and started full-closed training in Jingnan, which is a half-day drive. Every day, the unstoppable course starts at 8:00 in the morning and ends in the morning. Four hours of dance class, with a 30-minute break, followed by vocal music class, rap class, posture correction class, and even a general foreign language. After the class, everyone will consciously practice and practice independently. The lights in the room continued until two o'clock in the evening."

"It's like this every day, and it's like this every year."

The trainees in the audience were very quiet, and they were all listening carefully.

Instructor Yao Chen has a nostalgic smile in his eyes: "At that time, everyone was very simple, the company did not allow mobile phones, and we were in the practice room, classroom, and dormitory every day. We worked hard and sweated together. , I only have one day off in half a month, which is also very satisfying. On that day, we will go out to the Internet cafe to play games for a while, watch the concert videos of the seniors who have debuted, and go to the small commodity market to buy some souvenirs for ourselves."

"They are all good buddies who have trained together. They have a tacit understanding that they only need one look to know what the other person is thinking. Those days were full and simple. Everyone was running hard in a clear direction, and they often fantasized about what would happen if they really met. On the day of debut, how to cheer, how to celebrate. When you are too tired to collapse on the ground, some seniors secretly use their pocket money to buy iced drinks for each other."

"But sometimes life is cruel. Only after working hard and working hard can you realize how important talent is. We, who were originally in the same position at the starting line, gradually began to be left far behind."

"Is that such a painful feeling? It's hard for people who haven't experienced it to imagine. After working hard for so long, gritted their teeth and persevering for so long, they tried their best to catch up, but they still couldn't catch up."

"Time is not just a simple number. Every day, every hour, every minute, I get over it little by little. I am so tired that my whole thinking stops. I can fall asleep while sitting and drinking two sips of water, but still Force yourself to keep dancing for an ethereal dream."

"Which of the dancers has never been injured, because there are too many people who have suffered permanent injuries to their knees or waists during practice, and some people have even been forced to end their dreams forever. In vain."

"Is fate fair? Never."

"The trainees are of different ages and talents. Some people have worked hard for two or three years, and they can't see the slightest hope of debuting, and they are not young. The worries and pressures of the family are gradually added to a person, which will make Overwhelmed by one person."

"I'm lucky, I'm talented in dance. The others are not outstanding but not bad, and the most important thing is that I'm still young. Those who grew up with me, practiced with me, smiled and smiled at me. The elder brother who bought the fried noodles to eat, left one by one over time."

Yao Chen's smile is very gentle, he is not pointing out Zhou Cun's shortcomings in the form of hurting a person's self-esteem, he just wants him to know that every stage that seems to him to deal with casually, even if he works hard, may be Opportunities that others have longed for for a lifetime but never got.

A lifetime of regret, every time I think about it, it hurts.

It's not just a stage.

It is a dream that many people have been pursuing all their lives.

Revere the stage, love the stage, since you have the opportunity to stand here, don't let it down.

Yao Chen smiled and sighed.

"I just hope that you can know how to cherish."
