Trainee

"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four...very good, keep up the rhythm, hold on!"

The dance teacher patiently taught this group of students in the practice room. Most of them were teenagers, with outstanding looks and good personal conditions.

The teacher's eyes quickly fell on a boy in the first row. This is the most outstanding of this group of newcomers. He has a delicate and beautiful face, and his skin is white and shiny among a group of boys. The same T-shirt and shorts are really beautiful and somewhat indistinguishable, and the movements are also handsome enough, which is really eye-catching.The teacher watched him complete a set of movements and nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Li Qi did a good job, everyone rest for 10 minutes, and Li Qi will lead the team later, you all learn a little bit, if you want to compete, you have to come up with this It takes energy, you know!"

A dozen or so children responded sparsely, with sweat on their foreheads, obviously very tired, and several of them immediately sat down on the spot when they heard the order to rest.

Li Qi also supported his knees for a while, but he didn't sit down. Instead, he performed a movement in the group that he was not familiar with just a few times in front of the mirror, a smooth electric movement from his shoulders to his chest. , followed by a few violent ups and downs of the heartbeat in the chest, the broken hair on the forehead jumped up, revealing the smooth forehead, and the appearance of smiling with a mouthful of small white teeth is really evil and cute.

The teacher threw a bottle of mineral water to him, and said with a smile: "Take a break, let's combine work and rest!"

Li Qi raised his head and took a few gulps, pulled up the hem of his T-shirt to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and smiled.

A few students sitting next to him were also gulping water. Someone looked at Li Qi for a while, and couldn't help but bumped the person next to him with his elbow, saying, "Hey, look at Li Qi's profile, he looks so Isn't it quite similar to an actor?"

"You just noticed that someone said it when he came in."

"Tsk tsk, celebrity face is popular."

While discussing, they heard the door of the practice room being pushed open, and someone shouted outside: "Li Qi? Is Li Qi here, come out!"

Li Qi agreed, and went out holding the mineral water bottle. Standing outside was the manager, Sister Lin. After seeing him, Sister Lin immediately pushed him to the office, and whispered to him as she walked, "Headquarters is here. I want to see you by name, and after meeting the other party, you must speak politely, this is related to the final selection!"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but his heart beat faster.After he came to participate in the company's audition, he knew that the next talent selection was to be screened layer by layer. The final top ten would go to the headquarters to participate in the finals. Headquarters participated in the finals, and now the number of places is getting less and less, Li Qi heard their background, nervous and expectant.

Sister Lin gave a few more instructions and took him to the office, where two men in suits were already waiting.One of them was holding a briefcase, flipping through the roster in his hand, saw him come out, looked him up and down, and asked, "Li Qi?"

Li Qi nodded, "Yes."

The man on the opposite side looked at him mostly with thoughtful eyes, "I'm from the headquarters."

Li Qi was a little nervous, stood there and nodded, "Hello."

"Your basic skills are very solid and highly malleable, but in terms of appearance, it's not the best..." The other party flipped through Li Qi's information, and the paper rattled, "I wonder if you are interested in signing a contract in advance?"

Li Qi was a little dazed when he heard what they said. He didn't realize whether he was praising him or belittling him for a while, so he asked in a daze, "What?"

The other party was obviously not interested in chatting nonsense with a newcomer for so long, and said bluntly: "Your height and appearance are very similar to a person who has been trained in the company. If you want, you can take the singing and dancing route... Cough, but you have to go behind the scenes, you know Do I mean?"

Li Qi's beating heart slowly calmed down, he clenched his fists silently, and his eyes became sharp.

The man on the opposite side didn't wait for the answer he wanted, and he became impatient, closed the folder with a "snap", looked at Li Qi and said, "Maybe you will suffer a little in the early stage, but young people, you will suffer Sometimes it’s not entirely a bad thing, after all, you are poor and have no background at all, but you have been a dance substitute for a few years, after a few years you will mature in all aspects, and resources will be pushed up..."

"Just a dancer?"

"Other aspects may also need to cooperate. You and his image are very suitable, and the height and voice can be matched."

Li Qi put his hands in his pockets, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you tell me to change my name, I can't sing or dance, such a useless person, why do you train him?"

The face of the person on the opposite side was obviously not very good, and he said tensely: "This is just a preliminary cooperation intention, I think you can read this contract first before deciding whether to sign it or not..."

Li Qi interrupted him: "No need, I won't sign."

The other party's eyes stayed on his face for a while, and said: "Of course, you have the right to choose, but I hope you don't say what happened today, understand?"

Li Qi didn't say a word, but the manager next to him, Sister Lin, pushed him from behind, and he said lazily, "Understood."

After leaving the office, Sister Lin was still muttering in a low voice: "Oh my little ancestor, what kind of attitude did you just have? No matter how unhappy you are, you can just refuse politely. Why offend others..."

Li Qi curled his lips and said, "I will treat them with whatever attitude they have towards me."

"Can you compare yourself to others! The one talking to you is from the headquarters, and the other one is from Moon Shadow Studio. You know Moon Shadow Studio, right? It's Lu XX who is very popular recently, the one who won the Best Actor, and his younger brother this year You signed with us, and the above clearly stated that you need to focus on training, and you have to bear with the past for a few years, only if you understand the benefits!"

"I don't understand." Li Qi tilted his head and said, "I never cheat in exams, and I never help others cheat."

Seeing him entering the practice room, the agent didn't bother to say anything to a half-grown child. She was seventeen or eighteen years old, just at the time when she was wanton. She looked at Li Qi's back and sighed, and left by herself.

Li Qi rejected the other party, but the result came out soon.

The following training did not go well, and was even interrupted several times and kicked out.Before the final, there was a small group performance. Without training, there was no cooperation. No one in the next group wanted to be with Li Qi. He was silent for a few days, and then received another notice, this time directly Was retired.

The second time he was called out, he didn't even go to the office. He was told by Sister Lin outside the practice room that he didn't need to participate in the subsequent training. It was half a threat and half a warning, which made people feel chilled, probably because he also saw Li Qi with his own eyes. After several months of hard work, Sister Lin felt a little bit reluctant in the end, and sighed, "You should have thought of it when you refused."

Li Qi tensed his body and stood upright, curled the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

"You also know that there are very few opportunities to choose a few from so many people in the company. Don't worry too much about it. There are other ways to leave early, which might be better." Sister Lin sighed and took out a The envelope was handed to him, and he said: "This, please accept it, it was given by the headquarters."

It was a thick envelope with tens of thousands of banknotes stuffed inside.

Li Qi endured and endured, but still took the money with a stiff face.He didn't earn this by himself, it was just a hush money. When Li Qi got the envelope, he felt like he was slapped hard on the face.But he is short of money, and now he can't afford to waste a single dollar, so he can only give in to his self-esteem.

Sister Lin patted him on the shoulder. She had a good impression of this boy, but that was all. "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the dormitory to pack up."

Li Qi's things were easy to clean up. He walked out of the company with his own things on his back and wearing a mask. The envelope was the only thing in his bag except for the two clothes.

After more than two months of hard work, the 1 yuan was exchanged. It is more humiliating than hard work.

Li Qi came out of the company and went to the stop sign not far from the road to wait for the bus. His hair was short and stiff, and he was messed up as if he had just been beaten. His head was blown like a hedgehog. People are also covered in thorns, and their eyes are also frighteningly sharp.

The phone in his pocket rang a few times, and he took out the phone to look it up. Apart from the advertisements, which were credit card payment reminders, there were also a few cheering text messages from Xia Le, with cute smiley expressions on them, and he could feel them through the screen. The careful flattery and foolish red hearts revealed in the dozen or so words.But Li Qi was feeling restless at the moment, he had just been withdrawn from the competition, and he didn't want to tell Xia Le about these bad things, so he just turned off his phone and closed his eyes for a while.

This small entertainment company is not well-known, but there are still a few variety shows every year, and they can welcome a few newcomers.So there are fewer fans here, but there are still some.After all, the stars are far away in the sky and out of reach, but the fresh meat that has just been unearthed can be approached at close range, in case it becomes popular!

There were several female fans with bags on their backs standing outside, holding cameras and mobile phones, and their eyes lit up when they saw Li Qi.

Li Qi is now dressed in ordinary casual clothes, with a half-new bag slung across his shoulders. He looks a little downcast, but he is tall and handsome, and looks like a model by casually leaning on a billboard. Similarly, the white t-shirt was drawn out by the waist to attract people's attention.

Two girls eagerly wanted to go up to talk to them, but those next to them were a little hesitant, especially when they saw the handsome young man standing there waiting for the bus, the hesitation in their eyes was even more obvious, and they didn't follow up.
