Chapter 14 Initial Broadcast

While he was still in a daze, Ling Wei called out into the room, "The production crew has arrived. Are you all ready?"

"Alright, we've had breakfast!" A clear voice with a Sichuan-Chongqing accent came from inside.

A cute-looking girl appeared at the door with a rag and bowed neatly to the two members of the production team: "Hello, I am Zhao Xiaohe from Chasing the Light Girl. Please take care of me."

Xiaoqi had seen their profiles before, and their ID photos were already quite outstanding, but she didn't expect them to be even more stunning in person.

"This group has potential," she silently noted to herself.

Just then, a figure rushed over like a gust of wind, buried his face in Ling Wei's arms, and nuzzled against her shoulder: "Captain, Captain! You're finally back!"

The person clung to Ling Wei like a koala and refused to get down. Ling Wei naturally lifted her up a little and reminded her, "Say hello quickly, the crew is watching."

The woman then turned around and smiled sweetly at the cameraman and Xiaoqi: "Hello, I'm Lu Xiaoxiao."

"Hiss—" The cameraman gasped.

Simply put, this face is just too striking.

It was a face as pure and lively as a fawn in the forest, with big, watery eyes that seemed to speak volumes, and a pert nose that carried a touch of playfulness, as exquisite as a 3D doll.

Even the well-traveled Xiaoqi was stunned. This person is so much more beautiful in person than in the photos!

Ling Wei looked at their reactions and smiled knowingly: "This is our group's visual center, the maknae (youngest member) Lu Xiaoxiao."

That's the storefront, no wonder.

That's not surprising... my foot!

She looked at the other two members who came out. One had a pair of slanted fox eyes and a cool, mature aura; the other had a neat wolf-tail short haircut and a cool, androgynous style.

This group... their looks alone are going to be amazing.

Ling Wei seemed oblivious to the weight of the ornaments on her body, casually changing her shoes and inviting them in to sit down.

It was getting late, so Amin quickly ate his breakfast in a corner while adjusting the camera settings. Xiaoqi sat down on the sofa, opened her assessment notebook, and prepared to learn about the members' specific situations.

The first priority is to clarify their roles within the group.

Ling Wei "torn" Lu Xiaoxiao off her and politely said to the others, "Sorry, I'll go and tidy up quickly so they can cooperate first."

Xiaoqi, holding the notebook, smiled at the four remaining members: "Let's begin. Don't be nervous, it's just a quick introduction."

She first looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was closest to her, and asked in a gentle tone, "Xiaoxiao, hello, what is your role in the group?"

But then, the little sister, who had just been smiling sweetly and softly, visibly froze. Her mouth opened and closed a few times before she stammered out a few words: "I...I...I...Yes...Yes...Lead...Lead...Dance...Dance...Dance..."

Xiaoqi: "???"

Why did it suddenly freeze?

At this moment, the cute girl with the Sichuan-Chongqing accent pulled Lu Xiaoxiao into her arms, affectionately patted her head, and explained to Xiaoqi:

"Oh no, the captain isn't here. She's prone to crashing when there's an outsider around. Let me speak for her."

As if suddenly remembering something, she switched to Mandarin: "Oh right, the team leader said that we have to speak Mandarin on the show. Her name is Lu Xiaoxiao. She is the face of the team, the lead dancer, and also responsible for some of the lead singing."

Then she patted her chest and smiled brightly: "My name is Zhao Xiaohe, I'm the rapper in the team, and the captain is the lead vocalist!"

The girl with the wolf-tail hair: "My name is Sha Jing, and I'm the main dancer in the group."

Finally, the mature woman with fox-like eyes simply nodded slightly and said succinctly, "Ye Zhen, ACE."

Xiaoqi quickly took notes, realizing that the group's composition was quite complete. She then asked some basic questions, which were mostly answered by the cheerful Zhao Xiaohe.

When Ling Wei reappeared in the living room after changing her clothes, Lu Xiaoxiao, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly brightened up and, like a small cannonball, accurately shot back at the captain.

It's confirmed that this is the true captain's personal accessory.

As soon as Ling Wei returned, Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to instantly connect to stable Wi-Fi, returned to her comfort zone, and began to naturally respond to conversations and participate in interactions.

“Alright,” Xiaoqi closed her notebook and got down to business, “Now that everyone’s here, let’s briefly go over the next steps.”

The process is not complicated: after the live broadcast officially starts at nine o'clock, they need to draw a task card from the task box that Xiaoqi carries with her and complete the task in front of the camera.

This can be considered a welcome gift to the audience, adding to the fun and interactivity.

After completing their task, the team will head directly to the group venue for this variety show week, where the other nine teams in their group will be waiting for them.

Ling Wei, as the team leader, nodded on behalf of the team: "Understood."

As nine o'clock approached, Amin had already set up the equipment and adjusted the angle.

Xiaoqi also put on her headphones, and the director's voice gave the final instructions came through the channel.

Meanwhile, in the main live broadcast room, host Jiang Yue had already finished the opening warm-up, and more and more viewers began to flood into the various live broadcast rooms.

Three seconds left!

three,

two,

one!

At the same moment, countless live streaming screens of all sizes suddenly lit up, and the "Dream of Qinghe" variety show challenge week officially began.

Ling Wei stood in the center of the group, giving the camera a calm smile: "Hello everyone, we are—the Light Chasing Girls."

"I am Captain Ling Wei." Her voice was clear and bright, and she was poised and confident.

As the team members stepped forward one by one to introduce themselves, the live stream chat began to scroll rapidly:

"Ahhh, Vivi! It's Vivi alive! Three years! Do you know how I've spent these three years?!"

"I almost thought I'd never see you guys make a comeback in my lifetime."

"Weiwei is still the same Weiwei, her eyes still sparkle when she smiles!"

"Waaaah, my Xiaoxiao has grown up. I remember three years ago during an interview, she would get so nervous that she would move her hands and feet together."

"Xiao He's Sichuan dialect still has that same flavor; it makes you want to laugh as soon as you hear it."

"Sha Jing cut his hair short, and he looks even more handsome than before, kisses."

"Waaaa, Zhenzhen, your eyes aren't so fierce anymore. You must have suffered these past three years, waaaaaah!!!"

“I have kept every single one of your performances, and I have watched them countless times over the past three years.”

"Who can understand this?! The obscure group I followed three years ago has actually reunited! I need to go to the group chat and call for backup!"

In the live stream room, the first to wait in front of the screen were these long-time fans who had never left.

The number of viewers in each live stream is steadily increasing. In addition to existing fans, more people are coming from the sidelines attracted by the official promotion in the early stages, as well as the friends and family of the contestants. They are curious and want to see what makes this program, which is being promoted by the official team, so different.

Although Ling Wei and her group had far fewer viewers than those internet celebrity groups, thanks to the etiquette they developed from following their idols, the fans tacitly flooded the chat with welcoming comments and used skillful promotional language to try their best to retain every viewer who clicked in by chance.
