Chapter 034 Second Performance 2.0

The contestants were coming in and out of the preparation room, and soon it was Lu Wei's turn. Looking at the room, whose brightness was in stark contrast to the lights in the corridor, she took a deep breath and walked in.

Come on, storms.

The passionate accompaniment sounded in his heart. Lu Wei, who was rushing to the battlefield with high spirits and vigor, saw the camera set up in the room. Under the witness of the god of middle school, he became extremely alert.

"Hello teachers, I'm Lu Wei." Lu Wei was so skilled that he almost mastered the combo of bowing and introducing himself to the maximum level.

Cheng Linbin, who was behind the camera, nodded and responded, "Hello, please take a seat. We'll begin when you're ready."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Wei closed the door, smoothed her skirt, and sat on one of the few chairs in the entire dormitory building.

Who would have thought that after leaving the bus, her butt hadn't found a place to rest. Now, because of this broken stool, she felt a surge of happiness in her heart.

Program crew, you have done so many bad things!

In addition to the damn program crew, Lu Wei also had to criticize himself. Xiao Wei's PUA defense line was not built well enough, and was actually exploited.

This is absolutely not allowed. She doesn't want to be tricked into buying health products without any quality assurance after her glorious retirement.

The defense line was upgraded, and Lu Wei's eyes brightened a little when he looked at the camera. Under the refraction of the light, his round pupils seemed to be shining with a different kind of starlight.

Seeing this, Cheng Linbin, who was about to ask a question, was speechless. It turned out that what those working on the stage today said was true.

The value of appearance is real. Even if the person in front of you doesn't speak or make any expression, it is pleasing to the eye. If he or she has a smile on his or her face, it is hard not to like him or her.

Moreover, after a whole day of makeup, there is no powder caking or patchiness on the face. Even though Lu Wei is good at retouching makeup, her skin is still impeccable.

Tsk...

The Chinese players are as beautiful as ever.

After a moment of reflection, Cheng Linbin's career mind came back online. He looked at the interview outline on his notebook and started working: "How did you feel when you received the recording invitation?"

I'm not in the mood. The sky has fallen! She's guilty! Nuwa's Heaven-Repairing Stones are running low!

Lu Wei answered sincerely in her heart, but such words were too much for the show effect, and she couldn't show her comedian side to everyone.

Not wanting to draw too much attention, nor wanting to lie, she searched her brain for her newly acquired art of speaking and replied, "I'm surprised I wasn't expecting you to be here."

Cheng Linbin nodded and continued, "So far, has this journey been different from what you imagined?"

"Yes, but it's all acceptable." Lu Wei originally planned to say: No, it's fine, so there would be fewer words and no need for additional explanation.

Unfortunately...between the two words "in spite of one's will" and "idealism", the latter prevails.

It's all because she's too ambitious. Who would have thought that since participating in the competition, she hasn't learned anything else but a thick book on language arts.

The civil service exam experience increases by +1, +1, +1.

Cheng Linbin looked at Lu Wei helplessly, feeling a little disappointed. Why didn't Lu Wei know how to tell something interesting? Such ordinary clips would be regarded as waste.

Because the content for the interview had already been written in advance, it was not convenient for her to give guidance out loud and she could only continue asking questions according to the process.

Cheng Linbin: "When you see the star promoter, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Wei: "I'm very surprised. Teacher Li Zaixian is very good."

Cheng Linbin: "Are you afraid of being in the same space with all the other contestants?"

Lu Wei: "I'm not afraid, everyone is doing well."

Lu Wei's answer rhythm was always consistent, her expression was indifferent and her words were short. From the camera, her emotions were very stable and there was no sign of the various OS dramas going on in her heart.

In addition, the newly evolved and upgraded anti-PUA system on her head always had the filtering and shielding function turned on, and she did not receive any hints from the staff.

I thought this segment would be over soon, but I didn't expect that the previous ones were just appetizers to lower the contestants' inner defenses. The production team is still so crappy.

Cheng Linbin suddenly jumped up from the spot and unleashed his ultimate move: "How does it feel to get first place in the team despite not having enough individual parts?"

!!!!!!

Is there anything wrong with her ears?

If the production team wants her dead, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush.

Lu Wei paused for a rare moment. She tried hard to control her expression and not let the adjective "distorted" appear on her face.

What I mean is, is there a possibility that she is a new type of robot that can automatically avoid the camera, and the program crew does not need to deliberately target her and find fault with her, she will do it on her own.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Wei stood up and bowed deeply towards the camera: "Thank you for the love of the audience."

When it comes to questions involving personal parts, no matter what angle she answers from, she will fall into a trap. Although she has no intention of staying in this circle for long, there is no need for her to quarrel with her teammates and create a drama.

Why does it hurt to be a worker?

Cheng Linbin raised her eyebrows. She found that Lu Wei was still a bit smart, and the psychological burden when asking was relieved a lot: "Are you happy to get the 7th place?"

hiss......

Lu Wei sucked in a breath of cold air. This was like roasting her on the fire. No... What kind of heavenly law had she violated to deserve such a story line?

Just record this variety show, and no one will say a word while you record it.

This question alone is easy to answer, but it happens to follow the previous question, making it hard not to make associations.

Should I answer happy or unhappy?

It’s not that it’s not possible, it’s just that this is not the most real thought that Lu Wei had when he knew the results.

Is she trying to prove herself for the sake of show ratings, or to analyze her inner thoughts? She's not crazy, so what good would that do for her? No, not at all.

Lu Wei's eyes darkened a bit as he looked at the square camera. He pulled up the corners of his mouth and revealed an ambiguous smile: "I'm grateful to the production team for giving me the opportunity, to my teammates for completing the stage with me, and to the audience for coming to the scene. The results are brought to me by everyone, so I'm very happy."

Whether or not the words "I'm very happy" were maliciously spliced and edited was irrelevant to Lu Wei. If the production team had that intention, they would have given her a conflicting script anyway. She didn't need to punish herself for someone else's mistakes.

After thinking it through, the last bit of cowardice in Lu Wei disappeared, and his eyes looking at the camera were clear and frank.

Cheng Binbing didn't know why, but he felt a sense of oppression from this frail figure. It was as if the subordinate relationship between them had been reversed. Was that smile mocking? Or disdainful? Or perhaps... a little bit of both.

Watching the rest of the interview, she couldn't help but be a little lost for words: "So... do you... feel like you and your teammates are drifting further and further apart?"

"I don't know." Lu Wei answered quickly, seemingly without even a second's thought. What does it mean to drift further and further apart? How should they, who had never been close to each other, answer this question?

It would be a lie to say she didn't care about her teammates at all. Humans are very, very complex creatures. Sometimes, she didn't even know what she was thinking.

Cheng Linbin was silent for a moment. She seemed to have touched Lu Wei's true side. She could feel the weight of this answer. These four words were definitely not a casual perfunctory response.

She felt a heaviness in her chest, and blinked uncomfortably at Lu Wei, then asked, "Do you feel like you're being excluded?"

ha? ? ?

The disbelief in Lu Wei's eyes was about to overflow. She really didn't expect that such a problem would arise during the interview.

It turns out that variety shows disguised as dreams are not just about ranking and elimination, but also about the cruel reality.

"Did all the contestants ask this? Or was it just me?" Lu Wei's tone was calm. She did not vent her dissatisfaction to the camera, but lightly expressed her heavy doubts.

The air in the preparation room began to condense with these words.

Cheng Linbin, the highest-ranking employee in the procurement room, quickly spoke up to smooth things over. "It just seems like Lu Wei isn't very close to his teammates. I didn't mean any harm by this question."

Lu Wei chuckled and didn't bother to continue: "Well, I don't feel like I'm being excluded."

If it were Han Xuanzhen and the others, they would most likely answer that she was the one isolating everyone, which would be a bit funny.

Cheng Linbin was a little skeptical. This answer seemed less real than the previous one. She forced the other party to answer, and seemed to have become the most hated person in her childhood, and a hypocritical adult.

She looked at the interview outline at the back and bit her lip hard. Her selfish thoughts were deeply moved, but in the adult world, there is work and life.

I could only try to keep my tone gentle as I continued, "The second performance's format is very intense. Your individual ranking is very high, so you have a wide range of songs to choose from. Will this be a reason for you to favor individual teams?"

"No." Lu Wei shook her head. Even if she had a bad relationship with her former teammates, she would not take sides. This was a matter of principle.

Cheng Linbin nodded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

The two of them developed a tacit understanding as they asked and answered questions, and when the last question was over, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Contestant Lu Wei, your preparations are over. You can go back and rest."

"Thank you, teachers, for your hard work." Lu Wei bowed slightly, then turned around and left the preparation room without hesitation.

If she stayed any longer, she was afraid her expression would get out of control. After the interview, she felt a strong empathy for the famous scene of tactical water drinking.

Cheng Linbin, who was still working, kept unconsciously recalling the ambiguous smile on Lu Wei's face and the powerless interview content.

Regardless of whether it was genuine or false, if Lu Wei could shed a few crocodile tears in front of the camera, there would always be people who would pity her. Only when someone liked and paid attention to her could she go further in this show.

Unfortunately, the weak favorability did not allow Cheng Linbin to do anything extra, so she could only stand there with good wishes.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Wei was not upset about the unpleasant experience. She quickly took out two boxed lunches, wiped her face with her only makeup remover, took out her pajamas and toiletries from her suitcase, and ran to the shower area at the end of the corridor.

Nothing is bigger than sleep. She knows better than anyone that this is Goryeo, not China.
