Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 201 Beauty is Justice
After the "local group" video was played, the first person to appear in the international group was a non-local trainee whose only visible whites of his eyes and a row of white teeth when he smiled.

"Yo, I'm Martin Luther King, the rap king of Africa, and I'm good at handstands in hip-hop. I'll seize every opportunity and make sure I perform well, and I'll completely destroy this stage..."

He demonstrated a very hardcore stunt, doing a handstand and turning his head while rapping at high speed.

"I'm Xi De, 21 years old, from India. I'm going to perform a flute for everyone... No problem, it's something that can be played..."

"How did a cobra come out of my sleeve? This is a snake flute, a traditional art from my hometown... Wait, why did the director and cameraman run away? Should I continue recording alone?"

When everyone suspected that the Indian trainee was making dirty jokes, he actually took out a flute and started playing it. A dancing king cobra crawled out of his sleeve to the sound of the flute...

When the entire recording scene became extremely chaotic, he quite politely picked up the camera on the ground and insisted on taking a selfie to complete the snake flute performance.

"My name is Basong, I'm 19 years old, Thai, and my specialty is catwalk..."

"You're asking me how to dress like a woman? Didn't the director say it should be exaggerated?... Are you asking about this couple? They're just silicone props bought online. If you get closer, you can see the flaws..."

The androgynous, feminine and beautiful Thai trainee appeared in charming women's clothing, making the photographer's camera focus on his towering and deep pectoral muscles throughout the interview.

As the program recording progressed, the international trainees' self-introductions and talent shows were like a train that had derailed and started to deviate in an uncontrollable direction...

"You bastards, what on earth did you tell those trainees? I want you to exaggerate a little, not act crazy or do performance art!"

Not only were the instructors subjected to the "powerful silencing spell", even Manjiro Akimoto behind the scenes couldn't hold it in anymore and scolded the executive directors around him.

"Is this camera too close? Sorry..."

At the same time, as the video switched, a handsome face with delicate and three-dimensional features and impeccable contours suddenly occupied the entire screen.

The most eye-catching thing is his pair of eyes that are as bright and lively as stars. They seem to have some kind of strong attraction that makes it difficult for people to look away even through the screen.

"Hello, producers. I'm Xia Fan, a trainee from Longguo who has been training for two and a half years..."

Then, the young man in the video took a few steps back, found the right position, bowed obediently to the camera and introduced himself.

Yes, this handsome Dragon Country trainee is none other than Xia Fan who came to participate in the program recording as promised.

"The wait is finally here..."

Seeing this familiar face, Yayoi Tsukki's mouth corners slightly tilted up, and she murmured in a voice only her own.

"So beautiful, such bright eyes..."

Goro Kimura sighed subconsciously.

As the former center of an original boy band, he knows very well that the most important thing for an artist is not appearance or talent, but eyes.

In the acting industry, there has always been a saying that "the performance of the body lies in the face, and the performance of the face lies in the eyes."

For an idol, managing their eyes well can be as effective as plastic surgery.

Beautiful and bright eyes can give people a "heart-piercing" first impression. Not only will you be popular with passers-by, but you can also grab more shots in team activities.

Back then, Goro Kimura, who was not the most handsome nor the most talented in PAMS, relied on a pair of weathered and blurred eyes to grab the C position as the face of the group.

"A trainee from Dragon Country? His appearance is recognizable, but I don't know how capable he is."

Oda Masaru gave Kimura Goro a look that said, "Don't brag if it's not your company," and then he mentioned keywords like "Dragon Country" and "strength" in a feigned expectation...

Because Longguo and District 11 have similar geographical and ethnic groups, the taller and more handsome Longguo people completely conform to District 11's aesthetic standards, and the audience is not likely to have the "face blindness" phenomenon that occurs with other races.

However, pointing out the identity of "Celestial Dragon" in advance would make it easier to suppress Xia Fan's popularity.

"It doesn't matter whether it's nationality or ability..." "From the perspective of female audiences, for a male idol, appearance is the most basic thing, isn't it?"

Yayoi Tsuki, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke up to refute.

"This... Miss Yayoi said... does make sense..."

Oda was about to retort subconsciously, but he swallowed it back in the end.

Among the several mentors, Yayoi Tsuki is indeed the only one who is qualified to "speak from the perspective of a female audience"...

In real life, we can use derogatory words such as "all show but rotten inside", "good-looking but useless", "silver-coated gun head", and "handsome for only three seconds" to comment on handsome people.

But in the entertainment industry, let alone male idols, even for comedians, "appearance is justice" is an irrefutable truth.

Artists who are good-looking are always more likely to gain favor in one way or another and have higher commercial value.

"As for special skills, I've been an actor and a model... I guess playing the electronic keyboard counts as well..."

"Want a piece? Sorry, the instrument is too big, I didn't bring it with me today..."

At this moment, Xia Fan in the video was asked about his special talents as usual and became a little overwhelmed.

"As for other specialties... Oh, by the way, let me show you a piece of Dragon Country martial arts, Qiankun Fist..."

"Music!"

"Qian Kun Step!"

"Qian Kun Flash!"

"Hua Kun Hand!"

"Damn it!"

"Six Styles of Qiankun!"

Then, under the dull gazes of the instructors, Xia Fan made a mysterious starting gesture and performed a series of dazzling martial arts moves with great force and power...

"Ahahahaha, the people of Dragon Country, it turns out that everyone knows martial arts..."

Looking at Xia Fan's back with his back to the screen and his shoulders moving quickly and forcefully to the side, Goro Kimura laughed dryly.

The force of the punches hitting the flesh, the force of the tiger's roar like the wind, and the sound of breaking through the air that can be clearly heard through the camera give people the illusion of pain.

The martial arts attainments of this Dragon Country trainee seem to be more than just fancy moves.

Goro Kimura estimated that he could not withstand a few hits from the iron mountain.

"Unfortunately, we want to select the best male idol, not some free-for-all fighting contestant."

"Without any serious talent, even if you use Dragon Country martial arts to get by, you can't hide the fact that you're just a pretty face."

Oda was standing with his arms folded across his chest, assuming the sarcastic attitude of a professional judge.

"Hey, from the information, this Xia Fan is a contracted trainee of the Burning Department. Could he be an acquaintance of Miss Yayoi?"

Shota Hirai also pretended to be innocent and asked Yayoi Tsuki jokingly.

He deliberately pointed out the "burning system" background, so that no matter how much he praised Yayoi Tsuki later, he would be suspected of being "biased" by the audience.
