Entertainment Genius Girl

The trainee locker room was filled with the scent of Chanel No. 5 and sweat. Jiang Xiali's fingers stroked the condensed mist on the mirror, reflecting 17 delicately made-up faces. The central air conditioner made a slight hum, but it couldn't blow away the coolness that soaked her back.

"From China, your dancing shoes." Jin Yunzhen used her little finger to pick up the pair of silver patent leather high heels. The diamond-studded heels collided with the LED lights in the dressing room, reflecting ice-like light spots. When Jiang Xiali took it, she clearly saw the tiny cracks on the nail polish under the other person's manicure - that was the evidence left by the all-night practice last night.

The circular spotlight in the studio suddenly lit up, and Jiang Xiali could hear her own heartbeat on the lift. The 200,000 real-time bullet screens projected from the audience flowed across her retina, and the cheering words in Korean and Chinese passed by like a summer rainstorm. The fourth chorus movement modified by the choreographer replayed in her mind. The node that was supposed to be a back kick followed by a sliding kneel turned into an aerial split that required one leg to support.

The moment the music exploded, an ominous vibration came from the left heel. When Jiang Xiali completed the third wave, she finally confirmed that the adhesive on the sole was rapidly dissolving under the high temperature. When Jin Yunzhen cut into the main camera from the right, the smell of perfume suddenly became strong. It was a limited edition brought back from Paris by a certain director last month - the same smell as the anonymous threatening letter that appeared in Jiang Xiali's locker this morning.

"Dear audience, please watch! Aurora Entertainment's special segment!" The MC's excited voice penetrated the earphones, "The trainees' on-the-spot reactions will be counted in the final score!" Jiang Xiali caught a glimpse of the stage manager's cutting gestures, and saw Director Zheng lighting a thin lady's cigarette behind the director's desk. The moment her heel broke, she used the inertia of her falling body to pull out her bun, and when her long hair swept across the camera, the muscle memory formed by seven years of Chinese classical dance training awakened.

The pipa music "Ten Sides of Ambush" suddenly exploded in her ears, it was the drum of war buried in her bones. The broken high heels swung towards the spotlight, Jiang Xiali jumped barefoot to the electronic beat, and the "flying style" of Han and Tang dance drew a crescent arc in the air. Her sweaty hair stuck to the side of her neck, and she suddenly remembered what her mother said when she tore up the admission letter from Beijing Dance Academy on the day she first arrived in Seoul: "You have to let those who are waiting to see the joke understand that when the phoenix of China was reborn, even the ashes were gilded."

The real-time voting bar graph began to jump wildly. When Jiang Xiali ended her Huxuan dance, the stage screen was suddenly flooded with golden bullet screens. She panted and looked at the judges. Two of the three producers were wiping their eyes. Behind the glass window of the director's room, Director Li, who had been rated C on her evaluation form for three consecutive months, was crushing a coffee cup with a grim face.

There was a slight sound of mechanical operation in the dark, and the hidden camera slowly retracted into the ceiling. Jiang Xiali smiled at the main camera with a perfect smile that she had practiced thousands of times, and the bloodstains on the soles of her feet were like red plum blossoms on the white floor. She knew that at this moment, a pair of eyes were watching here through the bulletproof glass of the president's office on the 18th floor - the Chinese CEO who suddenly arrived three weeks ago, it is said that there is always a purple clay tea set and "The Art of War" on his desk.

We will focus on Jiang Xiali's highlight moment when she encountered a conspiracy in the debut survival battle but turned the tide. This plot will show the KPOP
