CHAPTER 15: THE PRODUCTION TEAM IS SO SHADY

Despite Chris Gordon not saying much initially, he was extremely averse to backdoor dealings; he just had more experience and knew how to hide his emotions. Now, he’s genuinely praising from the heart.

There’s one thing he didn’t quite understand.

If she already has this level, why bother explaining anything!

Isn’t this just idle nonsense!

The mentor, who initially disliked her for taking the backdoor, now has softened a bit, at least acknowledging some merit.

The result is naturally predictable; she was surely going to get an A, pre-decided by the production team.

"After discussion among the mentors, we’ve decided to give Mia Sutton a rating... A!"

When announcing, they intentionally dragged it out, probably to create atmosphere.

Once announced, you could clearly hear different voices among the trainees.

"A? How is that possible? While she danced really well, it was just a dance, no singing. How could she get an A."

"Right, isn’t the A rating supposed to be stricter? Compared to Lynn Joyner, she’s clearly still lacking. How could it be an A!"

Regardless of the trainees’ voices, the mentors have made their decision. Mia Sutton’s A is already set in stone.

Mia Sutton smiled and said thank you with some formal pleasantries. When she got backstage, her heart was fluttering... Holy smokes, this is elevating her to the point of destruction.

She estimated B would be fine this time, couldn’t have too much of a change from before, otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to Old Man Sutton and the others, especially since the damned author wrote her as a vase and a waste.

Shortly after the show finished recording, the production team released the outtakes of this part, with the eye-catching title #StunningWomanInHistoricalCostume#

One must say, the production team really knows how to capture the audience’s psychology; the clips were edited so skilfully, leaving plenty of suspense.

Especially Mia Sutton’s part, edited even more cleverly. It started with her debut scene shown in slow motion, truly stunning, with huge captions "Beauty of the City," accompanied by numerous hearts.

Then immediately was the announcement of her rating, the scene switched to trainees’ shocked expressions.

Anyone watching could clearly sense something fishy about Mia Sutton’s getting an A.

As expected, in no time, Mia Sutton was being criticized on trending searches.

[What the hell, Mia Sutton’s rating is A? Who are they fooling, what skills does she have to get an A, production team come out and give us an explanation!]

[Mia Sutton is simply like a dog that can’t change their habits, someone who’s way past their prime, what makes her worthy to be in this program.]

[This is really speechless, is your production team out of money, inviting just anyone? If you’re broke, I can sponsor you, hurry and eliminate that nuisance!]

The criticism was relentless, though there were also some purely admiring Mia Sutton’s looks.

[Honestly, the girl is really good-looking, there’s no denying that.]

[Indeed, this face is truly remarkable, like a classical beauty walking out from a painting, so charming.]

But she got roasted too, [Being pretty doesn’t matter, a flower vase without strength. Don’t even know what means she used to actually get an A, no matter how good-looking, wouldn’t like someone like that.]

The production team, seeing the effect after releasing the outtakes, was simply delighted internally.

This result was exactly what they wanted, criticism leads to more buzz, and when it’s broadcast, the ratings will surely be high.

Moreover, Mia Sutton surprised them very much, initially thought she’d just be going through the motions, but didn’t expect she’d possess such skills!

They already foresaw the turnaround once the show airs, yet another wave of ratings!
