Chapter 018 First Performance 4.0

After showing off the meatballs and sausages that he ate without making a sound, Lu Wei smacked his lips and looked at the lunch box with only kimchi and rice left in it with a look of deep resentment.

well.....

What kind of life is this? She has tried very hard to remind herself not to think about meat dishes such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin and pepper and salt spare ribs.

It’s okay that meat dishes are technologically synthesized, but why is it so difficult to eat fresh stir-fried seasonal vegetables?

The only hope of participating in the recording was completely dashed. Lu Wei supported his head with one hand, and weakly put the rice into his mouth while chewing mechanically.

There is no love in the world, and no light in her eyes.

"Hello~~"

A greeting with a strong Chinese style sounded in Lu Wei's ears. She put down her chopsticks and turned her head to look at the energetic young lady with a big smile on her face.

If Lu Wei remembered correctly, she was a member of SPDE and had been assigned to the same group with them for makeup.

"Are you Chinese?" Qiao Zhizhi specifically asked in Mandarin. She observed for a while and found that other people neither put kimchi at the end of the order when eating, nor would they eat all the food in the lunch box in one go.

In order to manage their figure, most people just ate a few bites, but Lu Wei was different. Even though he saved the kimchi for last, he still tried his best to show off the kimchi in order not to waste it.

In addition, Qiao Zhizhi didn't see any companions around Lu Wei, so she took the initiative to come over and make friends with him.

"Yes, hello." Lu Wei nodded and also switched the language to Mandarin.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Qiao Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the stool next to Lu Wei and sat down. It would be really embarrassing if she accidentally recognized the wrong person.

"I noticed you before and wanted to say hello to you, but I never found the chance." Qiao Zhizhi did not mention that Lu Wei's teammates were not around.

It is not easy to find friends from the same country in Korean variety shows. She doesn't want to offend anyone by talking nonsense. After all, this person is really good-looking and has potential at first glance.

Lu Wei smiled and replied, "Thank you. My name is Lu Wei. Nice to meet you."

When everyone around was speaking Korean, a fellow villager speaking Mandarin suddenly appeared, and there was a certain sense of familiarity.

"My name is Qiao Zhizhi, from SPDE. Let's get together sometime later if there's a chance." Qiao Zhizhi introduced herself politely. Just as she was about to exchange a few pleasantries, she saw her teammates waving at her. She apologized, "Sorry, my teammates want to rehearse with me, so I have to leave first."

As the first team to arrive at the recording site and lucky enough to be the first to perform, we will definitely have some shots. We have the right time, place and people, and we would be sorry if we didn't work hard.

"Yeah, it's okay." Lu Wei waved goodbye to Qiao Zhizhi, then finished his meal in two or three bites, stood up and threw the disposable lunch box into the trash can.

He looked around twice, carefully avoiding the camera, and sneaked back to the place where he received lunch.

To be honest, she wasn't full.

When she was growing up, her breakfast still consisted of apples. By noon, she was so hungry that she felt dizzy and her eyes were staring. Although the dishes in the lunch box were not her favorite, it was better to have something to eat than nothing.

There were still a bunch of unclaimed lunch boxes in the insulated box. Lu Wei was afraid that some people hadn't come to eat yet, so she asked tentatively, "Sister, excuse me, but do you have any extra lunch boxes?"

"Yes, the contestants ordered a lot more. Here, I'll give you another box." The staff member was worried about the waste and quickly handed the lunch box to Lu Wei.

"Thank you, thank you." Lu Wei took the lunch box with both hands and thanked politely.

"You're welcome. There's also salad here. You can supplement your vitamins and eat more." The staff member took out a box of vegetable salad from another box and handed it over.

Lu Wei hadn't really noticed the existence of the salad before. She was too embarrassed to refuse the enthusiastic staff, so she thanked them and took her new lunch back to a corner away from the crowd.

After finishing her meal and throwing away the lunch box, Lu Wei's health bar quickly recovered. This was the first time she felt full since she traveled through time. Eating carbohydrates really makes people feel better.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Wei stood up and found where her teammates were. She didn't go over and make herself bored, but chose a seat on the edge where she was closer and could observe everyone's movements and hear their conversations, and sat down again.

If there is an unwarranted incident of searching for missing persons, who knows what kind of villain she will be portrayed in the film. She is not strong enough to remain calm and composed when subjected to groundless abuse.

As for her teammates, if she couldn't understand their inner thoughts, she wouldn't think about them. She just did what she had to do. She would never engage in unnecessary internal friction or take on herself the blame or mistakes that she didn't need.

Without cell phones or entertainment, the time that would be insufficient for others seemed redundant here on Miracle Girl. Lu Wei rested his hands on his chin, his mind emptying as he stared blankly.

At this time, her teammates who were having dinner, looking at the cameras that were continuously recording around them, gradually woke up from their completely different performance states and took the initiative to discuss the topic they had avoided last time.

"Sister Nayeon, let's find an open space after dinner and practice some more."

"Yeah, yeah, don't practice twice more. What if you make a mistake on stage?"

"Yeah, everyone, eat faster and squeeze in more time for practice."

Hearing these proactive words, Kim Na-yeon felt a chill in her heart. Are they really working towards their dreams, or just for a glamorous life? Is it really right to consider the majority's opinions?

Forced to break free from her daze, Lu Wei almost laughed out loud. Why hadn't she realized before that her teammates were so talented?

The complexity of human beings once again refreshed her cognition. Lu Wei, who had misplaced many emotions, just wanted to complete the task quickly and leave.

She now sees everything clearly. After so many days of contact, she is the only stupid one.

It’s not that people don’t work hard enough, or don’t want to work hard, but they have made it a habit to escape, and when they encounter difficulties, they want to hide in their shells.

The hardship is real, the silence is real, the fear is real, the timidity is real, and the boredom is also real.

Lu Wei stood up speechlessly and followed his teammates. The indifference in his eyes and the sense of alienation around him intensified.

After searching backstage for a long time, they finally found a relatively spacious spot where they could stretch out. They practiced the performance repertoire over and over again, captured on camera.

They didn't stop until the audience was about to enter, when they were led by the staff to the dressing room to touch up their makeup.

Ke Xing had come to Lu Wei, hoping to help her out, but he was startled by her icy aura. How could her free and easy spirit turn into a cold, icy mountain of indifference after just a short absence?

However, why did this face and this temperament attract her even more?

The aura is revealed, and the recognition is obviously a level higher. Just look at those constant stealing glances and you will know that as long as Lu Wei does not act strangely, the camera will be sufficient.

But for some reason, Ke Xing, who clearly prefers icy beauties, doesn't want to see this kind of color on Lu Wei.

This would give Ke Xing the illusion that Lu Wei did not belong here, did not belong to this world, and seemed like he would disappear in the next second.

Thinking of this, Ke Xing put down the powder puff in his hand, looked into Lu Wei's eyes, and said seriously: "Don't be nervous, believe in yourself, you can do it."

? ? !!

It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul. Lu Wei saw encouragement without any ulterior motive in the makeup artist's eyes. This special power made her heart tremble.

"I'll be watching you, come on, Lu Wei!" Ke Xing clenched his fist and raised his elbow to make a cheering gesture.

"Thank you." Lu Wei didn't know where the makeup artist had seen her name, but she sensed the sincerity of the emotion. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and her smile slowly melted away the ice.

Seeing this smile, Ke Xing felt dizzy. The most beautiful flowers in the world are blooming in the mountains, and the happiest people in the world are right here.

Even after Lu Wei left, Ke Xing still hadn't recovered. The close-up beauty attack was too unfair. As a part of the entertainment industry, she had seen many beautiful faces, but this was the only one that left a deep impression on her.

The other staff members who stole glances at him praised him crazily after he left.

"Great! Chinese people are really beautiful."

"It's just a facade, an absolute facade."

"Why wasn't he famous before? I can't understand how someone like him could be buried."

“Just standing there is enough to be a feast for the eyes.”

After finishing their makeup, Lu Wei and her teammates were taken to a room filled with transparent chairs and miniature cameras. At the front of the room was a large black screen. Obviously, this was the place for filming reactions.

The chairs near the front had already been occupied, leaving them with only the corners, which were places that would never be seen by close-up shots unless they made some particularly large expressions, such as crying or stuffing an egg in their mouths.

As long as the camera passed over her, Lu Wei didn't mind sitting there. With the idea of not standing out, not being prominent, and not making any noise, she followed her teammates and sat next to them.

As the time for the first stage performance draws closer, the audience recruited in advance from the Internet by the program team begins to enter the venue.

As the number of people in the audience increased, the exchanges in circles of front, back, left and right gradually increased.

"Everyone should be free of fan membership now, right?"

"No, no, I haven't even seen the performance yet. There's no reason to bet so early."

"I'm a bit optimistic about Kim Yoo-ri. After all, she made it to the 101 finals before, so she should be able to perform well this time."

"Then shouldn't Han Shuying and the others be favored? They are a fourth-generation group after all."

"This is the first time I've seen a variety show that starts filming and is performed immediately. I really don't know what the production team is thinking."

"Don't overthink it. If an exceptional artist shows up, the production team will make a killing."

"It's enough to just watch the Huren Hutuan. Tickets are free anyway."
