Xie Yizun was the first to stand up.
"Xie Yizun, why did you stop?" the vocal teacher reminded, "Continue practicing."
"Teacher, I want to go out for a look." Xie Yizun placed the guitar next to the stool.
"Go out to see what?" the vocal teacher said, "It has nothing to do with you."
anwhile, she also told the other trainees who stopped in the practice room, "It has nothing to do with you all either."
— "Everyone, keep practicing. Don’t forget, you’re all being fild."
The trainees practicing vocal music in the practice room were all trainees that Lemon Entertainnt planned to debut.
Therefore, there would be dedicated people helping them operate personal social dia accounts, helping them gain fan traffic on short video platforms to accept business promotions.
Xie Yizun furrowed his brow and sat back down on the stool.
At the sa ti, he heard the cries of a young boy outside again, "You guys make go on a diet, make train, I’ve done everything, but the ’master resources’ and ’program delivery’ promised were all gone. Now you won’t even promote my own short videos, just telling to run my own social dia. If that’s the case, I’d rather beco an internet celebrity and earn more than now!"
"If you could be popular, you wouldn’t be in this situation now," a mature male voice scoffed.
Just from the tone, Xie Yizun could hear the contempt, not to ntion the expression, one could tell it was full of disdain.
Sure enough, the young boy instantly exploded.
"You can say I’m not popular, but can you not trample on my self-esteem?!"
"I’ll step on your self-esteem. So what?" the mature male voice continued disdainfully.
"Damn you!"
The young boy, burning with rage, combined with previous disappointnt and dissatisfaction, raised his fist at the young man.
Quickly, chaos erupted outside.
The trainees inside simply couldn’t practice peacefully anymore.
Such argunts and conflicts between Lemon Entertainnt trainees, artists, and managent personnel occurred frequently, but reaching a level of violence was rare.
Seeing the attention of the trainees drifting away again, the vocal teacher continued, "You won’t change anything by going outside. In a few months, you’ll be participating in a talent show. It’s better to use this ti to improve your skills. Those sent by the major entertainnt companies for debut are the better-qualified trainees, and the number of participants in this competition compared to the final debut slots is huge. So, can you imagine the level of competition, and do you still have the mind to mind other people’s business?"
...
It was past nine in the evening.
Ning Youguang finished bathing and was about to pick up a book when she suddenly received a call from Xie Yizun.
"Sister." The boy’s voice on the phone was filled with dejection.
"What’s wrong?" Ning Youguang asked gently, "Is there sothing bothering you?"
Xie Yizun was silent for a long while before asking, "I have a dance teacher who has never praised in all these years. I used to think it was because I had no talent in the field I was taught in and was indeed not good. But I feel like I’m not that bad because a new dance teacher in our company praised . Sister, can you tell why the previous teacher never praised ? Is it because he particularly dislikes ?"
Ning Youguang took the book to the living room, placed it on the low table, and seriously talked with Xie Yizun, "The dance teacher never praised you probably because he was never satisfied with you. When a teacher is never satisfied with a student, it may be driven by severe omnipotent narcissism and immature ntality, hoping the student can completely match their imagination, which is impossible. Therefore, he could never be satisfied with you."
"So, it’s not because I’m bad, but because the teacher is immature?" Xie Yizun perked up a bit.
"Exactly." Ning Youguang said softly, "Immature people hope the whole world matches their imagination, so what they see in the world is the projection of their imagination. When it doesn’t match, they get unhappy. Only mature-minded people can respect the real existence of the external world. Such teachers can see how the student truly is and can educate the student better."
"I understand now." Xie Yizun quickly made a decision, "I will ask the company to change a dance teacher for ."
"I think your decision is very good." Ning Youguang laughed.
Xie Yizun asked again, "Sister, this dance teacher has never praised face-to-face, but I hear from my brothers in the company that he’s been praising like crazy outside lately. I don’t understand why he’s doing this."
Ning Youguang said calmly, "He doesn’t praise you face-to-face to maintain his narcissism; he praises you like crazy outside also to maintain his narcissism."
"Alright, I get it." Xie Yizun sighed.
"How about it? Did the company set a program for you to go on?" Feeling her brother’s low mood, Ning Youguang changed the topic.
"They did." Xie Yizun’s tone finally carried a hint of a smile, "The company told that by the end of sumr or early autumn, I will definitely enter a group to start recording."
"Is it credible?" Ning Youguang asked again.
Because the previous programs Xie Yizun strived for didn’t work out.
"It’s very credible." Xie Yizun said confidently.
"That’s great." Ning Youguang encouraged Xie Yizun, "There’s not much ti left. Yiyi can start preparing for debut."
"I have been."
Xie Yizun told Ning Youguang about what happened at the company in the afternoon, "Sister, I recently discovered an artist who’s amazing. I think he’s very talented." Xie Yizun said, "I’ve been practicing his songs recently, consistently for a few months, but I find I still can’t sing as well as he does."
"That’s very normal." Ning Youguang laughed, "For soone whose talent surpasses yours tenfold, you should know their skills surpass you a hundredfold. You’re not there yet, but not being able to match him is too normal. Don’t rush, truly good role models, study well what they’re good at, their excellent points. There’s no need to compare with them. Everyone’s setup for the show is different, the talent is different, you cannot compare horizontally."
"Then if I don’t compare with him, how do I know if I’ve improved?" Xie Yizun was puzzled.
"It’s simple, make vertical comparisons. Compare yourself with yourself." Ning Youguang said.
"Compare myself with myself?" Xie Yizun was in a fog, "But what if I’m not working hard enough and haven’t found the right thod? Even if I’m slightly better now than in the past, I still wouldn’t be able to stand out if I go out. What’s the point?" 1314
