BXBX NOVEL Chapter 468 - Phenomenal
Chapter 468: Phenomenal
She quietly and earnestly watched the music video, analyzing Gu Yang’s every move and every line to the song. Ye Weiyang stayed away from the discussion among the other trainees. Her eyes lit up with hope and aspiration.
Nevertheless, no one took notice of her as their attention was now on the song and choreography. Instead of turning off the chattering, they simply turned down the volume.
The topic of discussion went from the theme song to their mentor, Yun Xiao. Nearly every trainee shared the view that Mr. Yun Xiao was way out of line to leave them running around like headless chickens. It was totally irresponsible on his part.
Group F was surprised by the caliber of the theme song, but so were the other groups.
The theme song was never disclosed beforehand, and even the mentors were kept in the dark, excluding Gu Yang who participated in the production of the theme song, of course.
Group D.
The trainees enthusiastically watched the music video while murmuring in the background about the dance, music, lyrics, and Mr. Xixi. Everybody still found the whole thing unbelievable.
This was Mr. Xixi they were talking about, the “Mr. Xixi” who turned down many superstars who were begging for a collaboration.
To date, Mr. Xixi only wrote three title tracks for Qi Xiu, and each single was a hit. It went viral across the country.
Even right now, the songs were garnering views exceeding the hundred-millionth mark on YouTube. It seemed to be picking momentum to make waves globally.
The megastars of China’s music scene approved of Mr. Xixi’s talent, pinning their hopes on him to bring the local music industry to great heights.
They were honored to be singing to Mr. Xixi’s song and dancing to his choreography on the main stage.
At the back of the studio stood two individuals side by side. They were Xia Mi and Gu Yang.
Xia Mi smiled at Gu Yang. “You sure kept it under wraps. I guess you got what you wanted and collaborated with Mr. Xixi.”
Gu Yang was between tears and laughter. “You should know that this was not the collaboration I have in mind.”
Sure, he managed to collaborate with Mr. Xixi, but he was hoping Mr. Xixi would write him a song for his new album.
Clear on that matter, Xia Mi asked, “Have you met Mr. Xixi?”
“If even the other megastars don’t get to meet him, I don’t think I’d have the privilege.” Gu Yang turned serious. “What do you think about the dance?”
Xia Mi answered with an equally serious attitude, “It’s great. I don’t think I can choreograph a better dance. It’s a brilliant piece.”
Dance was her forte, but Mr. Xixi was on a higher level than her.
Gu Yang grinned. “He’s just amazing.”
Xia Mi nodded in agreement. “Phenomenal! This person is just out of this world. He’s so phenomenal! Jeez, he’s cutting me out of my work! How can ordinary people like me survive in this line of work?”
Gu Yang gave no comment and threw her a look of disdain. If she was ordinary, what were the real ordinary people surviving on?
Xia Mi watched the video and asserted, “You portrayed the dance well.”
She was overwhelmed with the desire to meet Mr. Xixi. Who was this mysterious person? It was not like Xia Mi had never come across an amazing choreographer before.
Xia Mi may not have the knack for it, but perhaps her best friend, Guan Yue stood a chance against Mr. Xixi.
Group C’s studio.
Su Muyan sat at the back of the room, hiding half his body in the shadows. Muscles tensed across his glowering face as jealousy and resentment overtook every inch of his body.
He had been looking for Mr. Xixi for a long time, sparing no cost just to collaborate with him. Yet, Mr. Xixi went on and teamed up with Gu Yang.
Good for the production crew to get Mr. Xixi to compose and choreograph. They managed to keep it a secret from everyone, including the mentors.
However, why was the great opportunity given to Gu Yang instead? Was Su Muyan not good enough for them?
When it came to dancing, there were no better mentors than Xia Mi.
On singing, no one among the mentors could beat Su Muyan.
By common sense, he should be working together with Xia Mi to complete the theme song. Yet, the network handed the deal to Gu Yang, leaving the singing and dancing to him. Was the production team looking down on him?
Group B was also discussing the theme song. The trainees were over the moon that Mr. Xixi composed and choreographed the song. It was truly an honor to them!
He Sumo also found out Mr. Xixi was the creator behind the theme song after watching the music video. Nevertheless, it did not take him long to figure the whole thing out.
Although Cosmos Entertainment never confirmed the facts, many saw Mr. Xixi as part of Cosmos Entertainment. There was nothing to fuss about if he was writing the theme song when Cosmos Entertainment was the show’s investor.
The number of trainees plus a mentor in Group A came to a total of eight people. Fang Yao and the girls were itching to find out the latest gossip.
Fang Yao was not much older than the trainees. She was only 23 years old and the oldest among the trainees was 20 years old. In private, she got along with the trainees like friends.
“Is Mr. Xixi really from your company?” Fang Yao looked at Song Wenye. On behalf of the vast number of trainees, she asked the question that was burning in everyone’s mind.
Song Wenye uttered, “I don’t know. I’ve never seen him in the agency. What about you guys?”
Tong Kejun and Guan Rou expressed the same. Nevertheless, they had also just recently joined the agency. They probably never ran into him because it had only been less than a month since they signed with the company. Mr. Xixi was so elusive.
Also in Group A, Su Ruowan and He Lu held their tongues and kept quiet as they waited for an answer. Following the girls’ reply, they mumbled to themselves.
Those who aspired to have a career in showbiz would know who Xixi was. He was a genius composer who turned the entertainment business upside down and shot rookie singer, Qi Xiu, to stardom.
He Lu whispered to Su Ruowan. “Wanwan, I’m sure Muyan will be able to meet Mr. Xixi!”
Su Ruowan smiled and murmured back into her ear. “I’m not sure about that, but Muyan had been looking to collaborate with Xixi.”
He Lu did not hide the envy in her tone. “I’m pretty sure your brother will collaborate with Mr. Xixi. With the connections and influence your parents hold, everything should come easy.”
Su Ruowan simply smiled.
He Lu threw in another question. “I read in the gossips that Mr. Xixi once sought your brother before he released his album. Is that true?”
A reliable source revealed that Mr. Xixi had hideous looks and appeared to be a drug addict.
“It’s just gossip.” Su Ruowan gave a vague answer.
So what if Mr. Xixi went to look for Muyan and so what if he did not? Muyan was merely a loser who did not seize the opportunity.
Nevertheless, she was not going to follow in his footsteps. Starting from now, Su Ruowan would grow stronger, popular, and viral until she was at the peak of the entertainment world. Everyone would be begging to work with her then.
Mr. Xixi would be no different!
