“I wonder how the songs for Cao Zei's team are coming along?”
“I heard they've started practicing?”
“Really? They've already started practicing?”
“Yeah, they've started practicing, but I don't know how the song is.”
“I don’t think we’re allowed to watch them, right?”
“No, we can’t go. It’s an original song, they need a quiet environment, we can’t disturb them.”
These trainees were all chatting casually, only during breaks would they have time to talk.
But they had to practice when they were supposed to.
In Cao Gong's practice room, Di Li Re Ba and Cheng Xiao, the two teachers, came to check on them.
“Wow, your song is going for a traditional Chinese style?” Cheng Xiao was very surprised after listening.
“Yeah, Cao Zei said to go for a traditional Chinese style.” While resting, Huang Ming Hao was panting heavily.
Looking at the others, Fan Cheng Cheng, Chen Li Nong, Lin Yan Jun, and Bi Wen Jun were all covered in sweat.
Especially their hair, it was completely soaked, and even dripping with sweat.
From this, you could see how much effort they were putting into their practice.
“No, no, no, I can’t, cough, ugh~” Fan Cheng Cheng, kneeling on the floor, was so tired he was gagging.
“Ugh~” Not just Fan Cheng Cheng, Chen Li Nong was doing the same.
He was so tired now that even lifting his hand was difficult, and he was even gagging from exhaustion.
Since starting to practice the song and dance for this performance, Cao Gong began to put them through rigorous training.
“Huff~ Huff~” Lin Yan Jun lay on the floor, breathing heavily.
Bi Wen Jun leaned against the wall, equally exhausted, his mind a little hazy.
Even though the practice room had air conditioning, they were still sweating profusely.
If it weren't for high-intensity training, this wouldn't happen.
Sitting down, Huang Ming Hao was also panting heavily, sweat dripping down from his hair.
Seeing the five of them like this, Di Li Re Ba smiled, “Seems like you guys are on Cao Gong's team and he's put you through the wringer. This amount of sweat? It seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen you guys sweat this much.”
“Before, I only saw Cao Gong like this, you guys all looked clean.”
What the National Producer, Di Li Re Ba said, left the five of them speechless.
On one hand, they were too tired to speak, on the other, they were genuinely embarrassed.
Although they were putting in a lot of effort here, compared to Cao Gong, they were truly far behind.
Because they knew they were recording a show, a talent show.
Although they were practicing hard, everyone was very conscious of their image.
No one really went all out to practice, they would all maintain their image.
Things like their hairstyle couldn’t be messed up, and their makeup couldn’t be smudged by sweat.
Most of the trainees in this training camp were like that.
Only Cao Gong was the most unique.
When the show aired, most of Cao Gong's shots were of him covered in sweat, his hair dripping wet, not caring about his image at all, and you could often see his T-shirt soaked through and clinging to his body.
There were even a few shots where you could see Cao Gong taking off his T-shirt and wringing out a large amount of sweat.
Cao Gong was the only trainee in the whole camp who changed clothes several times a day.
The reason Cao Gong changed clothes so often wasn't because he was vain, but because of his terrifying training volume.
His training volume resulted in him sweating profusely, and his clothes would quickly become soaked.
A soaked T-shirt was fine, he could take it off, wring it out, and continue wearing it, or not wear it.
But if even his pants were soaked, he had to change.
If his pants were soaked and he didn’t change, the sweat would drip onto the floor, making it slippery, which could cause him to fall or twist his ankle, and that was extremely dangerous.
So, from when they started living together in the training camp until now, it had been 10 days.
In these ten days, Cao Gong changed clothes an average of 6 times a day.
To be honest, if Di Li Re Ba hadn't given him a few sets of clothes, he wouldn't have had enough to change.
At 6 am, Cao Gong would go to the practice room and start practicing, by 8:30, his pants would basically be soaked, and then he would go back to the dormitory to change clothes, during which time he would basically be resting.
From 9 am to 11 pm, in these two hours, his pants would be soaked again; then he would go back and change into a fresh set of clothes.
He would continue practicing from 11 am to 1:30 pm, and then he would change clothes again, and go to the cafeteria to eat.
From 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, the fifth set of clothes he had changed into would already be soaked.
From 4:30 pm to 7 pm, after the fifth set of clothes had been soaked, he would go back to the dormitory, change clothes and eat dinner.
After eating dinner at 7:30 pm, around 8 pm, he would practice until after 10 pm, and his sixth set of clothes would be soaked, then he would stop practicing, take a break, shower, wash his clothes, and hang them to dry.
If he didn’t wash his clothes, he wouldn’t have any to change into the next day.
He would chat in the dormitory around midnight, and then go to sleep.
He usually sleeps for about 5 and a half hours a day, that's his fixed sleep time.
You couldn’t find another person like Cao Gong in the whole training camp.
“Cao Zei, Cao Zei is a monster, he's too harsh on himself.”
“He practices until he sweats through four or five sets of clothes before he stops to rest.”
“Yeah, I couldn’t figure it out at the time, many trainees practice until two or three in the morning without sleeping, but our clothes weren't as wet as his.”
“Now, after becoming teammates with him, I understand. This bastard is crazy, he's a monster, he's too harsh on himself, I've never seen anyone so reckless with their life.”
Listening to these trainees' complaints, Di Li Re Ba and Cheng Xiao were both extremely surprised.
At this time, Cao Zei stood to the side, not panting.
But looking at his clothes, they were already soaked.
His hair was dripping with sweat, and his wet clothes were clinging to his body.
Even his grey athletic pants were now soaked.
“Alright, stop lying around, get up, go back to the dormitory, change clothes, and then come back and continue.”
“You guys are lying on the floor, the floor is covered in sweat, while we go change clothes, the floor will have time to dry, otherwise, if you continue to practice now, it’s easy to slip.”
Cao Gong's reminder caused the few of them to get up weakly.
The viewers watching the show were all shocked by the effort of this group.
Especially when the program team edited together Cao Gong changing four sets of clothes a day, it immediately made countless viewers swallow hard, it was truly terrifying.
Because it was summer, even though there was air conditioning indoors, the temperature of the air conditioner wouldn't be very low.
Exactly because it was summer, the amount of sweating would definitely be very high.
But even so, Cao Zei, because of his high training volume, changing four sets of clothes a day was truly terrifying.
No wonder he had practiced Fan Cheng Cheng and the others until they were gagging.
