After the music started playing, the strong rhythm of the melody captivated everyone in the venue.
Cao Gong, standing on stage, was ready for his performance.
“If Hua Tuo were to return, Chongyang would be cured, foreign countries would come to learn Chinese characters, awakening my national consciousness”
“Strychnos nux-vomica, Cassia obtusifolia, Xanthium sibiricum, and also lotus seeds, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Semen Dolichos, Melia toosendan, I want face”
“Using my way, rewrite a piece of history, nothing else matters, follow me and say a few words”
“Yam, angelica, goji berries GO”
“Yam, angelica, goji berries GO”
“Watch me grab a handful of Chinese medicine, take down a dose of pride”
“My expression is leisurely, I dance roughly”
“My movements are light and free, you can't learn it”
“The neon sign, adjust your state”
“In the glamorous city, waiting to wake up”
The few teachers present were all incredibly surprised, they hadn't expected anyone to write lyrics like this.
Zhang Yi Xing, who originally didn't believe that Cao Gong could come up with good rap lyrics, was now slapped in the face.
After listening to Cao Gong's song, he immediately felt admiration.
The lyrics of this song were all full of Chinese elements, making people unable to help but get hyped.
The other trainees in the venue were all shocked when they heard Cao Gong's song.
They hadn't expected this "Cao Thief" to be so amazing?
The audience watching the show were also amazed by this Chinese-style rap.
They had initially thought Cao Gong was just trying to grab attention, but it turned out he actually had skills.
“Amazing!” Ouyang Jin excitedly stood up after Cao Gong finished his performance.
“You're too good!” Wang Jia Er, also a rapper, understood how powerful this song was.
“This song is like a wonderful cultural feast, fusing modern electronic music with classic elements of Chinese traditional culture, this exaggerated innovation has opened my eyes, as if I've seen the path of the integration of new era music culture, each lyric is ever-changing, always with profound cultural connotations behind them, whether it's the melody or the lyrics, you've made me feel the super strong production level of this song.”
“And you told us earlier you only know a little? This is a little?”
Wang Jia Er was so excited that she slapped the table, asking Cao Gong if this was just a little?
If this was just a little, then those previous trainees were nothing but trash.
“It really is just a little, I'm just a beginner, I don't count as a master.”
You need to be humble on this kind of show, you can't be too high-profile.
Dilireba, who was sitting in the middle, looked at Cao Gong with a different gaze.
Sure enough, he did have something, she really hadn't seen wrong.
“You said earlier that you also wrote rap lyrics in English, right?”
“Yes.” Cao Gong honestly answered, he did indeed write some.
“Come on, come on, come on.” Wang Jia Er couldn't hold back anymore, she wanted Cao Gong to show it off quickly.
“Isn't it just performing one song? It's the first stage evaluation.” Cao Gong didn't want to show off too much.
“Why? The first stage evaluation is about showing yourself off more, that way you can get an A.”
Wang Jia Er was anxious, she explained that showing off more was the way to go.
But Cao Gong was timid, his tone somewhat hesitant as he said to Dilireba, “But if I show off more, what if the girls watching the show all like me?”
“Too many girls liking you, it's very troublesome;”
“I'm already hiding from the girls, and you're still asking me to perform more, won't that just mean even more girls like me?”
“You guys haven't been liked by so many girls, you wouldn't understand.”
“Hahaha~” Cao Gong's reason made all the mentors laugh until they rolled on the floor.
“You're coming here to participate in a talent show, if you debut in the end, surely a lot of girls will like you?”
Dilireba very seriously explained to him, “Since you're so afraid of girls liking you, why did you come to participate in this talent show?”
“I'm just here to avoid my female classmates confessing to me.” Cao Gong bantered with Reba.
“Don't you know? Coming to participate in this show, being on the show, means even more girls will know you, even more girls will like you.” Dilireba spread out her hands while explaining this point to him.
“I didn't think about debuting.”
“Huh? You're coming here to participate in a talent show, and you're not thinking about debuting?” Cheng Xiao was shocked, what kind of person was this.
“Right, I just heard that coming here for the joint training allows you to eat and stay for free for three months.”
“On the one hand, I can avoid my female classmates confessing to me; on the other hand, I don't have to spend money to have food and accommodation.”
“I can also save three months of rent and living expenses, why wouldn't I come?”
“…” Now, the mentors were all speechless, what kind of person was this.
“Besides, I'm a thief, I have a dark history.”
“Which audience would vote for someone who has stolen things to debut as an idol?”
“Idols should have good images, they should bring positive energy to their fans.”
“Me? I stole things before, although it was just fruit, candy, but I still stole.”
“I have so much dirt, no audience would vote for me.”
Cao Gong's idea made the audience go against the grain; no, we will vote for you to debut.
The more you don't want to debut, the more we want to vote for you to debut.
“But that's contradictory, if you can't debut, you'll be eliminated in the first round.”
“Once you're eliminated, you'll have to go home, you won't be able to stay here.”
“Once you leave here, won't your classmates confess to you too?”
Dilireba helplessly explained this rule to him.
“I know! If I don't pass the first round, I'm eliminated, that proves I'm a useless, incompetent person, so the female classmates who originally liked me won't confess to a loser like me anymore.”
“I'm the one who got eliminated, I'm a loser who couldn't even pass the first round, who would like me?”
“So even if I'm eliminated, the world will be peaceful.”
“Hehe~” Dilireba was really helpless against him.
“I think you're not going to be eliminated.” Cheng Xiao smiled and explained to him, it's impossible to be eliminated.
“Come on, let's enjoy your English rap.” Ouyang Jin waved his hand, letting Cao Gong try.
But Cao Gong shook his head and said, “I'll show you other language raps another time.”
“Then let's do this, we know you can rap, and you can write lyrics.”
“But what about your other styles? How about singing?” Dilireba wanted to listen to his singing.
“Should be okay?”
“Should be?” Dilireba was even more helpless now, “You said earlier that it should be okay! But your rap directly made the two rap mentors go crazy.”
“I've performed in school concerts before, I sang okay.” Cao Gong said modestly.
“It's because I sang in school, the female classmates heard my singing, that's why they liked me so much.”
“Alright, sing a song then.” Dilireba said to Cao Gong expectantly, letting him perform a song.
