Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 527 - Debut as a Group



Chapter 527: Debut as a Group

There was no time to dwell over it since the beats had dropped. Everyone swiftly stayed focused and put all their happiness, hopes, dreams, heart, and soul into performing their debut.

They debuted as a group with the song “Soar”, written by Mr. Xixi and choreographed by Xia Mi and Gu Yang.

Once again, fans and viewers on set and in front of the TV were screaming with thrill by the magnificent debut, immersing in the soul-stirring and grand visual feast. It was flawless from the lyrics to the moves.

The happiest among the bunch were probably Xia Mi and Gu Yang. They were relieved and happy to watch the girls pulling all the stops on their debuting stage.

Although this was only the first time they collaborated with Mr. Xixi, they were left even more in awe of Mr. Xixi’s talent. He filled in the lyrics on his own and gave a few suggestions on the choreography for them to work on. They were excited and looking forward to their next collaboration with Mr. Xixi which would happen soon after.

The performance ended.

The host enthusiastically announced the moment everyone had been waiting for. All the sweat and tears existed for this very moment.

The final seven girls to debut were listed by the host and appeared on all screens according to the rankings – Ye Weiyang, Song Wenye, Tong Kejun, Liu Qianyu, Guan Rou, Ji Jingyan, and Han Yan.

The seven girls formally debuted as a girl group by the name of “Glitzy Girls”.

Silence befell for a while before thundering shrieks and applause broke through the set. The fans whose idols had made it through the end were hugging and screaming as they celebrated this final win.

Fans of the eliminated trainees were low in spirits and most of them even left quietly. Su Ruowan’s fandom, especially, were too embarrassed to show their faces around after that rude awakening.

The remaining few were cheering and shrieking together with other fans of the winners. It appeared they had ditched Su Ruowan and moved on to a new idol.

On stage, the winners expressed their gratitude at the end of the celebration, thanking fans who had walked with them, mentors for guiding them throughout the journey, their agencies, and the production team. They hoped the fans would continue to support them and more of the usual thank-you speech.

With the curtains closing on the grand finale, the public lifted their heads to the popping noise above their heads. The parade of fireworks was a sight to behold.

It was over.

The grand finale may have concluded, but it was only the beginning of the girls’ future. Flower petals fluttered on stage and a line of words emerged on the big screen. “May everything be peaches and roses for you!”

With her eyes welling up, Ye Weiyang stared at Mr. Xixi as he got ready to get off the stage. The latter returned the gaze and nodded with a hint of a smile. Ye Weiyang turned around and let loose the tears she had been holding in.

She would never forget what he said to her during the first assessment. “You’re young. The sky’s the limit when it comes to your potential. Keep up the good work.”

These words were the driving force and inspiration to hang on and persevere. She might only be a blip in Mr. Xixi’s life, but Mr. Xixi was her life’s savior.

Shen Xi waited until Ye Weiyang was pulled away by the other girls before letting the smile in her eyes fade away. Ye Weiyang still had a long road ahead of her, but Shen Xi would always watch over her as Ye Weiyang achieved great heights in her singing career.

The other mentors were glad to be part of the girl’s life as they grew and made it to the end. They were filled with a sense of achievement.

Su Muyan was the only one among the mentors looking off. Under the dimmed light, he took off while the winners were getting off the stage. Su Muyan did look back at Mr. Xixi on his way out.

Well, the guy must be pleased that the winners were all from Cosmos Entertainment.

It finally got to Su Muyan’s head that the other trainees were only strung along with Cosmos Entertainment’s trainees. No matter how talented they were, there was no chance for these trainees to waltz into showbiz unless they were from Cosmos Entertainment.

He and Wanwan were set up by Cosmos Entertainment and fell into the plagiarism scandal. To this day, Su Muyan had no inkling of what transpired.

The middle person, with whom he had a good partnership, could no longer be found, even with the Su family pulling every string possible. It was as if the person disappeared into thin air.

However, there were some leads about the owner behind Cosmos Entertainment and these clues were pointing at Yuan Yu, his half-brother!

Yuan Yu acted like the useless golden boy in front of Mom and Dad but had been secretly plotting revenge on their family. Su Muyan and Wanwan were first on the chopping board.

First Shen Xi, now Yuan Yu. What did the Su family do to deserve such vile, disgraceful, and unscrupulous animals in their lives!

Shen Xi took a glance at Su Muyan and grinned.

Su Muyan was ticked off by the smile. Since the camera was off and the stage lights were dimmed, he did not have to keep up with his appearance. Black in the face, he turned and stormed off.

“Mr. Xixi, good work.” Gu Yang extended an arm to Shen Xi.

At last, Shen Xi accepted the gesture and shook his hand, adding a nod in between. “You guys too.”

The other mentors looked relaxed. Despite all the twists and turns, the program finally came to a perfect end.

The fun-loving Fang Yao proposed, “Let’s have a gathering!”

While they were talking about where to hang out, Su Botao the chief director drew close. “Don’t forget to come to the wrap party.”

Shen Xi gazed at Su Botao and turned down the offer. “I’m sorry, I have to get going as I have matters to attend to. I hope all of you have fun.”

The mentors and Su Botao looked disappointed since they were hoping to bond with Mr. Xixi. What could they do when the other party would not give them a chance to?

Knowing Mr. Xixi, Su Botao was not going to keep him for long. He said with a smile, “Let’s have a get-together next time then.”

Mr. Xixi had great potential in variety shows. Although he rarely joined the shoot, he had the tendency to draw attention and drop bombs.

Nevertheless, Su Botao knew that the opportunity to work together would only come once. Not lacking either fame or fortune, variety shows had nothing to offer him.
