Also included is a promotional photo of Lin Shaobai.

Commercial endorsements are a huge boost for a celebrity, and when celebrities are feuding with each other, they often bring up how many endorsements their siblings have.

It's the same principle as magazines; having a grand slam of the five major magazines can also be something to brag about.

The fans have a particularly strong competitive spirit; none of them are willing to admit defeat.

Once they start arguing, they'll wipe out the other person's entire online community without warning. I don't know where they learned that from.

Before the Kiwi Scream Night, he came to the factory with several other mentors to give a class to the trainees, a group class of 100 trainees.

Anyone who watches talent shows knows that each season of a talent show will have a theme song.

One of the more popular ones is "Pick Me Pick Me Up," which surpassed the theme song of that season.

The theme song for Idol Producer is called "EIEI".

Lin Shaobai knew relatively little about it at the time.

Even so, he knew that Cai Kunkun had a very popular picture.

It means pointing your finger at your face in front of the camera, implying that you want someone to kiss you.

Upon entering the studio, Lin Shaobai and Li Ronghao stood on the stage, while 100 trainees below sang loudly with their heads bowed.

Li Ronghao looked at them with a kind expression.

Lin Shaobai stood with his hands behind his back, looking like he was in great pain.

These trainees are daring to sing, but why are they all cracking their voices?

"I can't hit the high notes," Lin Shaobai said.

After hearing this, Li Ronghao nodded to him: "Indeed, this is a big problem."

After the practice was completed, Lin Shaobai and Li Ronghao were responsible for checking it.

He raised the microphone and said to the 100 trainees below, "Classmates, let's begin the inspection now, starting with Class A, okay?"

Cai Kunkun and the other students in Class A obediently replied, "Okay."

Both music mentors were quite excited, but when the student sang, his voice cracked.

Lin Shaobai gasped, feeling embarrassed for them.

Li Ronghao picked up the microphone but didn't criticize them: "Come on, let's switch to Group B."

Surprisingly, Class B sang quite well.

After several classes finished singing, Lin Shaobai and Li Ronghao went offstage to rest, and then it was the turn of dance instructors Zhou Jieqiong and Cheng Xiao to take the stage.

Zhou Jieqiong went on stage first, while Cheng Xiao was a little slower because she needed to use the restroom.

She bumped into Lin Shaobai as she came out of the bathroom, turned to the side, patted his thick down jacket, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin Shaobai."

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was congratulating him on winning the championship of The Voice of China.

"Thank you."

"I watched the whole live stream. How did you come up with this idea? How could you create a song like this? I've been listening to 'If the Moon Doesn't Come' on repeat so many times lately."

"Isn't it nice?"

"It's great. No wonder you became famous; none of your songs are bad."

Why is Jay Chou so popular, and why has he been popular for so many years?

Because all his songs are good.

Moreover, the quality is exceptionally high.

Almost every song he has released is a masterpiece.

Why is Mao Mao so popular? Because his songs are good. Many singers may sing their whole lives and still not have any representative works, like Zhang Xingxing.

He seems quite popular, but so far he doesn't have any truly outstanding songs. There's something strange about the songs he releases.

Despite dancing being her forte, her most viral performance was a dance of a gorilla boxing.

Halfway through the jump, he inexplicably started twisting his shoelaces.

Another example is Brother Bozi.

The songs they released were also extremely unpleasant to listen to.

There are also some songs by South Korean boy and girl groups.

The rap is nonsensical, the high notes are nonsensical, the high notes are nonsensical, I don't know who they're trying to fool with their songs.

Why did the South Korean girl group New Jeans, which debuted a few years ago, become the leader of the fifth generation of girl groups?
It's because their songs respect the listener's ears.

Whether you're a fan or not, you'll listen to music. If your music is good, it will attract people to listen.

However, internal strife within the company this year has severely damaged their vitality, and it seems that the girl group aespa, which was once far behind, is about to catch up.

Lin Shaobai is such a singer.

His five songs all showed great respect for the listener's ears, like listening to celestial music.

"Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I need to go upstairs and teach them to dance."

Cheng Xiao winked at Lin Shaobai, seemingly intentionally flirting.

Lin Shaobai: "..."

Later, Lin Shaobai didn't go too far. He stood in a corner with his arms crossed, watching the trainees practice dancing.

Although the singing skills varied, some of them seemed to be quite good at dancing.

She memorizes dances quite quickly.

In fact, as an idol, singing and dancing are both indispensable.

Like the second and third generation K-pop groups in South Korea in earlier years, they were good at both singing and dancing, and many of them were already professional singers.

However, many idols nowadays only focus on dancing, and their singing is just lip-syncing.

With backing tracks on stage, even if you sing terribly, the effect is still perfect.

More and more companies are using the same formula to train boy groups and girl groups, focusing only on dancing and neglecting to teach singing.

For example, the Korean girl group Sakura under Hybe's label is Lesserafim, the buffalo group whose Coachella act was ridiculed recently.

This group's dance skills are exceptional; they can be considered the best among fifth-generation girl groups.

However, he doesn't practice singing much, so when he comes to a stage like Coachella where he sings live, his true colors are revealed.

"Hey, Mr. Lin Shaobai."

After a while, a staff member from Idol Producer ran over and said to him with a smile, "Our schedule is complete. You have classes on Monday and Friday mornings, and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, you have classes taught by Teacher Li Ronghao."

After speaking, he handed the course schedule to Lin Shaobai.

After glancing at the course schedule at the big company, Lin Shaobai said, "Nothing much to do today, right?"

"Yes, yes, go home and get some rest today. The trainees will start practicing tomorrow. How was their progress today?"

Lin Shaobai shook his head: "Not really, but it's okay, there's still time to practice."

"Oh... by the way, congratulations to Mr. Lin Shaobai for winning the championship."

"Thank you."

Hearing that he could leave work, Lin Shaobai forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart.

Assistant Xiao Liu was waiting for him at the door. When she saw Lin Shaobai, she ran over excitedly and said, "Boss, it's time to go home!"

"Yes. By the way, Xiao Liu, are you hungry?"

"A little," Assistant Liu said sheepishly.

"Let's go then, I'll treat you to barbecue."

“The boss is so nice!”

Sorry, I had something come up at noon and posted this a little late.
