Chapter 017 First Performance 3.0

Time waits for no one. From the time everyone finished their makeup to the time they arrived at the rehearsal site, an hour had already passed. Keep in mind that there were only four hours left before the performance began.

So after getting familiar with the positions of each camera, everyone put on their headsets and stood above the stage, quietly waiting for the rehearsal to begin.

Han Xuanzhen and others secretly glanced at Lu Weiyi again and again, and secretly made up their minds.

You must perform well. You cannot be a backup dancer or a background for that interjection.

The stage director seemed to trust everyone very much. He did not provide any help throughout the whole process and just stood behind the monitor and watched silently.

The cameraman was extremely professional. Even if the members on the stage did not have any identification tags on them, he was able to accurately locate everyone and give them reasonable close-ups.

Before the accompaniment sounded, Lu Wei took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and ignored the straight-shot camera following closely behind him.

Maybe it was because the brainwashing package was exposed in advance, or maybe it was because of those invisible but felt gazes.

The small rehearsal stage was filled with tension. Like air, it tightly wrapped around Lu Wei, dragging her from the dark corner into the spotlight, amplifying her presence.

The moment the music started, her chest felt like it was being pressed down by something, and she couldn't breathe.

The scorching lights shone on her body, and the excitement surging on the circular stage entered her body with her breathing.

The song is not very good, but it becomes much more pleasant to the ear due to the emotions.

Lu Wei's anxiety and fear were slowly released through his dance moves. Each movement revealed a unique youthful temperament, brave and pure, clean and passionate.

People's eyes are unconsciously locked on her, and even if she is in a hidden corner, they can still feel her extremely contagious figure.

Negative emotions gradually faded away, positive emotions were being transmitted, and Lu Wei suddenly realized the significance of the stage to idols.

For idols, the stage is not only their life, but also more than their life. It carries not only the audience's expectations, but also the performers' emotions.

When thoughts become clear, the mind becomes open.

Before, even if she performed the dance moves perfectly and blended into the crowd without any mistakes, she was just a beautiful ornament without a soul and had no value in existence.

Now Lu Wei saw the transmission channel shining with golden light, saw his teammates with faint light coming out of their bodies, and saw the scene behind the square machine.

After the first rehearsal, Lu Wei's gaze did not shift to the stage director, but turned to his side.

It's different now, everyone's performance is completely different. This rehearsal is a thousand times better than the practice room or the live performance.

The others are not fools either. They can feel the changes in themselves. This is an experience they have never had in more than a year since their debut.

Han Xuanzhen frowned and looked at Lu Wei. She didn't know what was going on. During the rehearsal, her eyes always wanted to follow the existence in the corner, as if she could find some source of power in her.

Park Yunzhi looked at Lu Wei thoughtfully. Everyone has dark thoughts, but there is only one person who can be influenced by them.

"Very good, no problem." The stage director praised with a smile. There was no expectation, but a pleasant surprise.

What she praised was not the songs and dances, but the sense of self-coherence among everyone. This ability to adapt to and control the stage is very rare.

After hearing the stage director's words, everyone came back to their senses and politely thanked him: "Thank you."

"You are in good shape, just do it again, there are still many people waiting behind." After saying this, the stage director returned to the monitor.

Stepping onto the stage again, Lu Wei suppressed his chaotic thoughts and tried his best to perform every move, but the feeling of being wrapped up in emotions disappeared like quicksand and ceased to exist.

At the same time, Jin Nayan and others also woke up from the state of being assisted by God. The more they tried to hold on to the misty clouds, the more powerless they became.

Without sufficient self-motivation, relying solely on the proficiency in the song would undoubtedly be like aping others without success or copying a tiger.

The stage manager looked up in surprise, averting her eyes from the monitor. She had seen performances get better and worse, but she had never seen such a dramatic change in such a short period of time.

What's going on? How can there be such a big difference?

In order to find the problem, the stage director gave them another chance to rehearse, but the final result was still unsatisfactory...unpleasant songs, mediocre dances, and ordinary performances all combined to form a stage without any highlights.

The only thing that attracts people is the little girl who sits on the edge like a vase.

It's a pity that she is not in the C position. Even if the camera teacher takes some care of her, there is no extra part for her to perform.

Time was limited and the stage director couldn't find the problem, so he had to give up the investigation and let the next team start rehearsal.

Everyone returned to the backstage in silence and stepped into the trap of loss again.

Lu Wei looked at her teammates calmly. She had actually found the problem and the switch to control her emotions.

But without the same frequency bonus from others, she needs to constantly hypnotize herself and brainwash herself: this is the career she loves, and this is the opportunity she has always dreamed of before she can start it.

Without true feelings and genuine love, these things are like castles in the air, unrealistic and empty.

Even though Lu Wei had written the script for the film in advance, he didn't want to fool the audience with false emotions.

She couldn't and shouldn't do such a thing.

Without truly enjoying the stage, she can continue to pretend to be ignorant. No matter whether the performance is good or bad, it is no big deal. The audience will just watch for fun and excitement, and it will not have any impact on her, her teammates, or anyone else.

But after experiencing all of this in reality, Lu Wei knew he was wrong. The existence of the stage can bring comfort to those in darkness, amplify the positive emotions of the performers, and illuminate places that the sun cannot reach.

Therefore, Lu Wei didn't understand or agree with her teammates' silence and loss. She knew that this might seem harsh, but if even the performers themselves were lost in the fog, then what was the meaning of everyone's existence?

Wouldn’t you feel really frustrated when all your efforts turned out to be in vain?

Lu Weiguang felt suffocated just thinking about it.

So when he saw the cameraman finish filming and walk off in another direction, Lu Wei stood up, unplugged the radio, and said in a positive tone, "Let's go, everyone, don't stay here. Let's do something while there's still time!"

As soon as the words came out, many people turned their eyes to Lu Wei. They didn't understand how Lu Wei, a recognized invisible person, had the courage to speak out and order everyone around. Didn't he see that everyone was in a bad mood?

Jin Nayan looked at Lu Wei in surprise. She had never expected that the person who broke the silence would be Lu Wei. No one would normally do such a thankless task.

Han Xuanzhen actually admired Lu Wei a little. Just based on her behavior of not choosing to keep herself out of trouble, this person was far from being unkind.

Unfortunately...her eyesight was poor and she couldn't see that her teammates were a bunch of cowards to the core.

After waiting for two or three seconds, seeing that no one responded or stood up from the bench, Lu Wei, who seemed to be performing a solo, darkened his eyes, and the smile on his face instantly collapsed. He said "sorry" softly, turned around and walked towards the place where lunch boxes were distributed.

Forget it, she can never wake up a group of people who are pretending to be asleep.

"Xiao Wei!" Jin Nayan called out softly, trying to call Lu Wei, but she never turned back.

The behavior just now was the limit of what Lu Wei could do. She actually didn't want to be the one to wake up her teammates, nor was she interested in becoming a chicken soup master.

It’s just that the negative emotions she has are too much, which will more or less affect her state.

She wanted to finish this recording time happily and return to China happily. She didn't want to greet every new day with a negative attitude, and she didn't want to pretend to be happy when she felt bitter inside.

"What does she mean?" Li Huimin looked at her teammates around her in confusion. She understood the meaning of Lu Wei's words, but she couldn't understand Lu Wei's attitude of turning around and leaving, as if they were all air and not worth her wasting a moment of her time.

"Hehe...it's meaningless." Han Xuanzhen curled his lips and sneered.

Jin Nayan pursed her lips slightly, hiding the weakness in her eyes, and said softly: "Let's eat first. Everyone performed very well and there were no mistakes. Just don't be nervous this afternoon."

As a captain, she really failed.

It was obvious that if Kim Na-yeon just said, "Okay, let's go," the members would have obeyed even if they had some resistance in their hearts, but she chose to cater to the feelings of the majority and let them go back to their shells.

Perhaps, she and Lu Wei were not destined to be friends. She and Jin Nayan were the captains of everyone, but they were not Lu Wei's close friends.

"Sister Nayeon, don't be so sad. Don't take Lu Wei to heart. She is not sociable and has no sense of collectivism." Li Huimin thought that Jin Nayeon was depressed because of Lu Wei's running away alone.

"No...she's not. Forget it...let's eat first." Kim Nayeon listened to Li Huimin's comfort, sighed and suppressed her sorrow.

On the other side, Lu Wei, who had already received his lunch box, was walking happily towards an empty table and chair.

Instead of worrying about teammates who make good use of silence, it is better to worry about yourself. She has no intention of becoming a Virgin Mary. Some things can only be done once.

Right now, nothing is more important than eating. We have to make up for all the lost carbohydrates.

Before his mouth could water, Lu Wei quickly found a table and chair to sit down, and opened the lid of the lunch box with great anticipation.

enmm.....

White rice, seaweed shreds, eggs, sausages, meatballs, kimchi, kimchi, kimchi, and more kimchi.

ah! ! !

Her expectations were dashed again, which was even more damaging than the damage her teammates had just done to her.

Why are there no vegetables in the lunch boxes? Not even a single fresh stir-fry dish, let alone half-meat or full-meat dishes. No wonder Korean artists always get edema. Eating this every day, it's a miracle they don't get edema.

Although the program team's feed is slightly better than chicken breast and purple cabbage, it's not much better.

Lu Wei's heart was hanging in the ground again.

Let’s not talk about how the food is for domestic entertainment artists. The food in her high school cafeteria, which has no oil or water, is better than this. At least she can eat her fill. The portion of this lunch box is pitifully small.
