Chapter 109
Qin Wei sighed and said she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. The artists in Class A were all very popular and skilled. They had been strict with themselves during previous training, which led to today's wonderful performance.
The stage lights and set brought out their best, making it a hundred times more wonderful than the solo assessments a few days ago!
Only after watching professional dancers could one know the gap between them.
What's more, they were all seeing Qiao Sixiao for the first time today since she was absent for the assessment. They were all stunned by her performance.
After working as an actress for so many years with packed schedules and barely any days off in the last decade, she still maintained solid fundamentals!
It just showed that the awards she had won were hard-earned through real effort.
Qin Wei tried to adjust her mentality and continued watching the performances of the next few groups.
It could be said that every artist regarded their public performance very seriously. After all, it was their first appearance as a team. So the performances were good, with eye-catching moments in each group.
Group E was on stage, so Group F had to leave the conference room and go backstage to get ready.
The fourteen of them did final checks backstage, all trying hard to steady their breathing.
...
"Next, let's welcome the fourteen ladies of Group F. They will be performing the show's original song 'Sailing Away'"!
"Girls, jiayou!"
After encouraging each other, the fourteen members of Group F walked onto the stage.
As the music started, Sun Tiantian sang the first line to the beat:
"Da da da da da da
We're setting off today."
The cheerful melody itself set the tone for them -
sweet and lively!
Qin Wei quickly sang the second line:
"Da da da da da da
Hoist the sails against the wind!"
The bullet screen instantly exploded -
[Lü O never sings out of tune!!!]
[Not only in tune, she sounds so sweet!!!]
[OMG! That sweetness!]
Yao Ying swiftly sang the third line:
"Da da da da da da
Our dreams will come true."
Wang Yuewen, the fourth line:
"Da da da da da da
Let's sail away together!"
...
They changed formations with Qin Wei first coming to the front, dancing lightly.
Backstage, Song Ye watched their performance with arms crossed, unconsciously tapping her feet to the beat.
So far, not a single mistake. What Song Ye worried most before they went on stage was actually Qin Wei.
Not her dance or singing, but her expressions were always off.
She focused so much on singing and dancing that she neglected facial expressions, often looking miserable throughout the performance.
But now on stage she was surprisingly good!
Bullet screen -
[Wtf, Sis Qin turned sweet!]
[What was her style before? Fairy, cool, rich socialite flower?]
[There was also silly and illiterate. Anyway she was never so sweet...]
[Ah I'm dead! Lü O just winked at the camera! I need oxygen!!]
[And she dances very well! Doesn't look like she's slacking at all!]
[That means she isn't slacking! Lü O has grown up! She must have worked hard!]
[I can't bear to eliminate such a sweet Sis Qin...]
[Remember to vote everyone!!!]
When the song ended, what shocked everyone most was Qin Wei didn't make a single mistake. Not only that, she performed with an air of ease and confidence, seemingly enjoying the stage.
The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause again.
Standing on stage, Qin Wei looked at the sea of glowing light sticks waving, and the fans shouting her name to cheer her on. It was hard to describe that feeling in words...
She waved at the audience. Perhaps out of excitement, her eyes were a little red.
"Lü O don't cry! You didn't mess up! You were awesome!"
Fans below shouted loudly,
"Lü O you were really amazing! You are our little pride!"
Since they didn't have high expectations of her to begin with, seeing her teary now, the whole audience tried their best to reassure her.
The atmosphere became exceptionally lively for a moment.
"Qin Wei! You didn't sing out of tune!"
Just when she was feeling touched, this line made Qin Wei laugh in annoyance:
"Of course I know I didn't sing out of tune!"
"Lü O, don't scold your fans! Be polite!"
Qin Wei tried hard to hold back from saying that word itching to come out in this kind of situation.
Yang Xiao walked onto the stage, clapping as she did:
"The ladies' performance was truly dazzling. My mind is filled with 'da da da da' right now.
Many netizens said before the show began that the girls in our Group F weren't that capable. They hoped the program team would take care of them more and give them a little more time to showcase themselves.
But I feel there's no need anymore, because their skills are strong too!"
Another round of applause from below.
Yang Xiao smiled, "Tell me, do you want to see more of their performances?"
"Yes!"
"Want to see Qin Wei do a handstand!"
"Want to see her drink a whole bottle of water in two gulps!"
Yang Xiao nodded and went up to Qin Wei:
"Looks like the audience has a lot of expectations for Sis Qin! Sis, what would you like to perform? Your performance may earn points for the whole group!"
Apparently the fans shouting were all longtime ones since they even recalled such details.
Thankful they didn't ask her to ad lib on the spot.
Qin Wei took the mic, "With the dress I'm wearing today, I won't do a handstand. The program team didn't mention it to me in advance either, so I'm not prepared...
I'll do a fast beat board piece for everyone!
Teacher Yang, do we have something like that here?"
Yang Xiao was stunned for about three seconds before saying,
"Pfft! We're a big platform like Lizhi TV, of course we have everything!"
As she spoke, a staff member brought over a set of boards.
Qin Wei held one in each hand.
The venue quieted down, only the sound of her beating the boards could be heard.
Ga da ga da ga da...
Ga da...
Bullet screen -
[That's crisp!]
[That's accurate!]
[Thought she would mess up for sure]
[Didn't expect her to fake it so well!]
Indeed she only performed a short segment, but the bullet screen almost exploded -
[If she doesn't stop soon, I'm afraid she'll start singing]
[On that high high mountain an old monk]
[Wearing thousands of layers of clothes]
...
Both the live audience and backstage were stunned by her skills. The key was no one expected it!
Another round of applause and laughter.
Humph, a dy girl who doesn't know some skills?
In middle and high school I considered joining a certain crosstalk society and secretly practiced fast beating for a month, only to find out later they don't accept female disciples.
Well if you don't accept then don't. I still kept watching though.
But I didn't practice much back then, just this bit.
Another second and I'd be exposed.
They returned backstage to applause, having successfully completed the first performance. But they couldn't relax yet, after a short break they still had the group performance.
This was more important for each person, since this performance concerned points. If the group scored very highly overall, even if the group faced elimination, members with high points would temporarily be safe.
Qin Wei drank some water to moisturize her throat, then rushed with her teammates towards the makeup room to redo their hair and makeup and change costumes.
Everything went smoothly...
