After staying with these little girls for a long time, Jian Zhiyao felt that he had lost his temper.

Angry.

He swore that there would never be a next time!

No matter what kind of favor it is, there can be no next time!

Isn't it good that he honestly agreed to the director to accept his competitive reality show? Why did he come here with the mentality of discovering a few good prospects before? ! Why do you think it is a singing and dancing show that is within his professional scope? !

But this period of time was not without gains. At least now, no matter what kind of situation he faced, he could remain calm and calm , without any disturbance in his heart, and he even felt that it was nothing more than that.

After the song parts were divided, the instructors, except for occasionally going out to make announcements, spent the rest of the time circulating between the groups day and night, carrying out targeted training for each contestant. It was hard work.

In such an intense and fast pace, all players are involved in training day and night.

On this day, Jiang Ranlei's brain was in a daze, his eyes were dull, and he drifted to the bathroom like a ghost. When he finished pushing the bathroom stall door, he happened to meet Lu Renjia's eyes who had just stepped in from outside.

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, then closed the compartment door again in the next second, hiding her ears and stealing the bell.

There were footsteps approaching outside, and then there was a knocking sound on the compartment door.

There is no way to avoid it.

Jiang Ran swallowed, raised her hand and opened the compartment door again, with a fake smile on her face, "What a coincidence."

Lu Renjia looked at her actions and curled her lips mockingly, "Are you hiding from me?"

"No...why am I hiding from you?" Jiang Ran pretended to be stupid.

"It's better if you don't have one." Lu Renjia sneered, turned around and went to the cubicle next to him, and stopped when he was about to close the door. "I don't eat people. You don't have to run away when you see me in the future. Everything will be taken care of." People look like they have something to look at.”

Cao Hong was right, there was no need for her to be brooding over her all the time. With her little courage, it wasn't worth her attention at all.

The song "Minor" was chosen for the performance. Lu Renjia went to find Cao Hong after the performance. After acting coquettishly, she "rewarded" Cao Hong. Only then did she get the other party's promise that the teacher would help them adapt it, and they would definitely change it. until they are satisfied. Therefore, Lu Renjia was in a good mood these past few days. In addition, she had not seen Jiang Ran for a long time and had forgotten about it. When she suddenly saw her, she was as afraid of him as a mouse meets a cat, and she was even less afraid of him. The other party took it to heart and was willing to give her a good look now.

When Jiang Ran returned to the training room again, her teammates were eating supper inside. When she came back, Cao Hui handed her the portion specially left for her, including milk tea, pudding, Snow Mei Niang, and puffs. There are also a lot of desserts, placed in the middle where a few people are sitting around, and you can eat them as you go.

The amount of training these days is heavy, and the food you eat can't keep up with your consumption. It's okay to eat more. Even those who had been clamoring to lose weight before were hungry twice in the middle of the night looking for food. They never said that they wanted to lose weight again. Now they are eating more happily than anyone else.

The teammates chatted while eating late-night snacks, and rarely relaxed.

"These puffs are so delicious. I can eat more than ten in one sitting. I rounded up all the puffs in the dessert area and brought them over..." Zhang Siyu took a bite of the puff and licked her lips with great satisfaction. Cream, "It would be great if I could lie on the sofa and watch TV right now."

"Is milk tea also made in the cafeteria? I've never seen this before."

"No, that's what Teacher Bella bought us to drink. Teacher Bella's assistant just sent it over. Everyone has it."

"Teacher Bella is too kind..."

Jiang Ran swallowed the milk tea in her mouth, "The instructors will come to see our progress tomorrow, and then there will be the first rehearsal on Thursday morning."

"Isn't there a rehearsal the day after tomorrow?! So soon?!"

"Hurry up, the performance will be on Saturday."

"Our song is quite good, it suits us, and the dance part is not difficult. I saw the group next to me that chose "No No No", and the people in their group I met on the road all looked like they were hopeless and tortured. It’s miserable.”

"The tempo of that song is too fast and it's not easy to sing."

"Which group are we going to PK with then? If we know, we might as well go find out about the enemy in advance. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles."

"I don't know. I should have found out during the rehearsal."

"How are the progress of other groups? Do you all know?"

"I took a look at Lin Luyao's group when I just passed by. Overall, they have no major problems. They are already being refined. They are probably the group with the fastest progress. And..."

The teammates chatted with each other, and they had a late-night snack for almost an hour. They felt guilty after a long time, so they stopped quickly, and those who wanted to eat were going to the bathroom. There were also a few who held the garbage in their hands and threw it into the trash can in the corridor outside.

But there was no one to deal with the rubbish scattered on the ground. Jiang Ran picked up the big plastic bag next to him, picked up everything scattered on the ground and threw it in. After cleaning it up, he took the plastic bag out of the training room, and finally returned to the training room and started training again.

Jiang Ran's expression management needs to be strengthened. Not only the teammates discovered this problem, but even the instructors came over to check the progress and mentioned this after looking at their training room version.

A few people discussed it, and finally sent Shi Yue, a former actor, to represent the whole team to guide Jiang Ran - after all, he was the C position of their group, and the C position was so bad that the audience probably didn't want to watch their group.

Shi Yue pulled Jiang Ran to find a seat in the corner and sat down. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked uncertainly, "If I remember correctly, you didn't laugh during the theme song assessment, right?"

"No." Jiang Ran shook his head.

The theme song "Dream Girl" itself is a energetic, cheerful and moving song, and it naturally needs to be presented with a smile full of vitality and youthful sunshine. But this is just extra points for Jiang Ran. She has not even touched the passing line for singing and dancing, and has never practiced expression management.

Even though the theme song MV and direct-to-video recording were postponed in the end, her singing and dancing improved a lot compared to the theme song assessment, but her expression did not change much from the beginning to the end. The happiest time she laughed was at the end of the dance. After that, I breathed a sigh of relief before laughing.

But in this performance, the teammates are very concerned about this. Jiang Ran also deliberately wanted to improve, but the results were not significant.

"When you are performing now, your expression is too serious, and you look very cold. We are just a little sweet girl, how sweet is your expression?"

At best, he sounds like an emotionless killer; at worst, he sounds like a rigid wooden pile.

"Smile."

Jiang Ran blinked and looked at Shi Yue. The corners of his mouth twitched and he tried to do as she said, but in the end he didn't do it. He said sincerely, "I can't laugh."

"Fake smile, do you understand?" Shi Yue said and gave a demonstration, raising the corners of his lips slightly and arching his eyebrows in a smile, looking particularly cute. And her smile is very contagious. When you see her smiling, you can't help but laugh too. It feels like you are being healed. Even if you are in a bad mood, seeing her smile will make you feel happy.

There was no hint of a fake smile.

Jiang Ran suddenly realized, no wonder others said that Shi Yue was a sweet girl, her smile was indeed sweet enough, so sweet that she would get diabetes.

Shi Yue relaxed his facial muscles and explained to her, "Just like me, I find a nice arc and remember it, and smile like this when I'm on stage."

"Isn't this too deliberate?"

"That's why we have to practice!"

Jiang Ran followed Shi Yue's instructions, first relaxing her facial muscles, then raising the corners of her lips, exposing her teeth...

A smile is a smile, but it's ridiculous, too fake, awkward and weird, and it's not very pretty. The effect is worse than not laughing at all. Shi Yue couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes when he saw this awkward smile.

Jiang Ran looked at himself in the mirror with his facial features flying around, and his face instantly returned to his expressionless look. Then I tried it again and tried different things.

movements, pursed lips to smile without showing teeth, curved lips to smile, wide-eyed smile, grinning, laughing...

The two of them pondered in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally Jiang Ran rubbed her stiff cheeks to relax her facial muscles and ended the conversation sadly.

Shi Yue sighed helplessly and touched his chin, "You usually have a nice smile, but why are you smiling so much now..."

The word "ugly" got stuck in his throat and he swallowed it back. Shi Yue thought for a while and then came up with a word to describe it, "awkward."

"How can this be the same? I didn't think much about it when I laughed. I just laughed when I wanted to. Now I have to go out of my way to laugh, but I can't laugh no matter what."

"Why don't you think about the things that made you happy before? Why did you laugh last time?"

Jiang Ran filtered the happy things in her mind, pondered for a while, and frowned slightly.

"No way, seeing as you love to laugh so much, there's no reason why you can't even think of a single happy thing, right?"

"No, even now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that funny." Jiang Ran spread her hands helplessly.

I was obviously so happy that I couldn't stop laughing, but now that I think about it, I don't seem to have the urge to laugh. Maybe that kind of happy and joyful emotion will only be funny in the situation at the time. Without the mood and feelings at the time, it won't be funny in retrospect.

"Then think about what makes you happy?"

"for example?"

"Debut as a group!"

Jiang Ran didn't seem to be very happy. She pursed her lips. She was already in such trouble before her debut. She didn't know how troublesome it would be after her debut.

Shi Yue glanced at Jiang Ran's facial expression, thought for a moment and then said, "She has tens of millions of fans!"

"..." Jiang Ran looked at Shi Yue and blinked, with no trace of emotion on her face.
