My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

What should you do if someone criticizes you?

The first element is affirmation!

Someone has already seized on your weakness and unleashed a powerful attack; are you going to stick your face out and get slapped? Therefore, never start by negating or opposing the other party! That's a weak defense! You must first affirm the other party's statements; only then can you demonstrate the good qualities of your debaters.

"I think you're right! The 'Morning Star' stage is really great, giving everyone the opportunity to realize their dreams! I'm different from everyone else. I came to this stage to earn money, I don't deny that. It's just that because my agency went bankrupt and I couldn't afford the copyright, I used my own original songs to complete my debut performance. The reason I recited 'Eight Hundred Soldiers Marching North Slope' was also for this reason."

The second key element is finding help!

One person against 99 trainees? Lin Fan said he wouldn't be that brainless. At this point, what he needed to do was engage in mutual flattery! Those trainees who owed him styling fees would definitely side with him.

"If I weren't a member of the 'Confessions' group, I wouldn't have been able to dance this dance so seriously. After all, this is the most complete dance I've ever danced in my life. I'm able to dance it completely thanks to my friends in 'Confessions.' Lu Bingyang and the others are really hardworking. They work hard until the early hours of the morning every day for their dreams. Sometimes I think, it's okay if I leave, but before I leave, I can't stop the dreams of the other members of the team. I may not debut, but I want to help my teammates debut. This is the most basic principle of being a person."

The third key element is to retreat in order to advance!

There is no absolute truth, no right or wrong, only different perceptions in this world. Often, when it comes to dissing someone, it's impossible to determine right or wrong; everyone is standing on their own ground, and whatever they say is right.

The conflicts between people are mostly driven by emotions. If these emotional conflicts are not resolved, they can escalate into a denial of your professional skills and a questioning of your character. Therefore, when emotions begin to clash, retreating is actually the best form of offense.

"I thank all my fans for voting for me, which gave me the opportunity for an additional audition. Due to various reasons, I could only perform a tongue twister in this humorous way, which is indeed somewhat disrespectful to my fans and unfair to other trainees. After all, I'm not planning to debut, yet I'm blocking others' debut opportunities! Therefore, I also appeal to my fans here: please stop voting for me. If you have any votes, please vote for the 'Confessions' team. Lu Bingyang and the others deserve your love more than I do!"

The live chat exploded!

[Born Entertainment Reporter King: No, you didn't block someone else's debut spot; rather, someone else blocked your chance to be eliminated!]

[You're a middle finger: Lu Cheng is so jealous! Where does Fanfan get the money to buy the copyright? What's wrong with reciting a tongue twister? What can he do on a stage like this? Give up the extra round to someone else? Stop being such a saint!]

[This person is probably sick: Exactly, Lu Cheng didn't get a chance for an additional test, that's because your fans weren't supportive enough, why blame Fanfan? This is clearly just trying to ride on his coattails, and it's so shameless!]

……

The audience erupted in uproar upon hearing Lin Fan's remarks. Just moments before, they had felt that Lu Cheng's words made some sense, and more than a dozen trainees' fan groups had already started stirring up trouble. Now, however, everyone was unsure whether they should criticize Lin Fan or not. After all, what Lin Fan said was true, and he was genuinely urging his fans not to vote anymore. It was hard for people to criticize such a genuine person.

Before Lu Cheng could say anything more, Lin Fan interrupted him, saying, "Also!"

The shout of "Also" was particularly loud, even a little off-key, and successfully interrupted the noise at the scene.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "In addition, I would like to thank Lu Cheng. If it weren't for Lu Cheng's strong recommendation of the song 'Confession' to me, I wouldn't be able to bring you such a wonderful performance today."

The fourth element, the ultimate move: a straight body casts no crooked shadow!

When you're being criticized, first think about whether you have any dirt on yourself. If you don't, then shout it out loud, because you can stand tall!

Lu Cheng's expression visibly stiffened for a moment on the big screen.

Backstage, Li Xiaodong suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Yes! I can testify! When we were choosing songs, Brother Fan asked me which song didn't require dancing. Lu Cheng told him that 'Confessing' was mainly about singing with very little dancing, so Brother Fan chose that song!"

The second element appears again: the helper is online!

If you know how to get along with people, helpers will be everywhere. They'll step in when you need something, and they'll step in when you don't... cough cough, at this point, all you need to do is be a quiet, handsome man.

Watch quietly as flowers bloom and fade.

The audience reacted immediately.

"Is there very little dance in this song, 'Confessing'?"

"Well, there are fewer of them compared to those who dance the entire time, but..."

"But it's incredibly difficult, okay?! Trying to dance this without years of professional training is practically suicide!"

"Especially for someone like Fanfan who has no foundation, it's impossible to learn this kind of dance in just 7 days!"

"Oh—~"

"Oh—~"

"Oh—~"

[Winter Melon Candy: Oh dear, my Dongdong is here again! This kid is just so straightforward, please don't mind him, let's take him away~~~~]

[Homework° Let's Break Up: I knew it! How did a complete novice like me get the courage to choose such a difficult song? Turns out I got ripped off!]

[Chengzai, my love: My Chengcheng isn't wrong either, he does dance very little!]

[Born Entertainment Reporter King: I just laugh~~~~~~]

【I am your ancestor: Hehe~~~】

Forgot to take your medicine today: Hehe~~~

……

Wang Lingli, who was watching the live stream, was furious!

What the hell is this?!

First they messed up my innocent Fanfan, and now they're jumping out to diss me!

What a big face!

Since you've already put your face under my feet, if I don't stomp on it hard, all these years of being a fangirl will have been for nothing!

Some people like Lin Fan, and some don't! After all, Lu Cheng wasn't wrong. The fans of the other 99 trainees would like to see their hardworking idols achieve higher rankings. Where there is competition, there will always be different opinions.

Wang Lingli could understand it all. Having been in the fan circle for so many years, she knew that idols, especially those in the audition stage, would often engage in mutual backstabbing and dissing each other to compete for screen time. It was all commonplace and nothing to be surprised about.

But Lu Cheng's actions are just disgusting!

Wang Lingli, who hasn't been out of the game for a long time, is eager to unleash her sword! How dare you bully our Fanfan? You're trying to make your older sister lose her temper!

If your older sister doesn't step in, you'll really think she's some kind of Hello Kitty!
