Chapter 059 Second Performance 23.0

After completing her makeup for Group B of [adolescence] in advance, Lu Wei didn't immediately go to the waiting room to wait. Instead, she was taken to the pre-recording room by the staff to record some questions such as "Are you confident today? What do you think of Group A? Is it stressful to get the center position?"

Maybe it's because the performance hasn't started yet and the highlight hasn't been revealed yet, so there aren't many holes in the interview. Don't worry about saying the wrong thing, just give normal responses.

After all the procedures were completed, there was only half an hour left before the performance started. The audience entered the venue after lunch under the sun that had not yet set.

Due to the competition system of the second performance, the production team was afraid that the battle line would be too long, so they thoughtfully prepared chairs for the audience who arrived at the scene to rest. Unlike in the past, it was not like before, where everyone had to stand from beginning to end and be so tired that they would curse MNTB after returning home.

"Hey...what is this?" Zhou Yixiuan picked up the paper bag on the seat, her pupils full of curiosity.

They were given cheering sticks upon entering the venue. Could this paper bag contain gifts from their sponsors? Has the stingy MNTB turned to plucking?

"Let me see, let me see." The audience beside him couldn't wait to open the paper bag. After a while, the expression on his face was as if he had eaten something indescribable, which was hard to describe.

Seeing this, Zhou Yixiuan stopped opening the package.

"The weather is cold, it's time to let MNTB go bankrupt."

"Damn you, MNTB! I'm pouring my heart out to you, and you're playing tricks on me."

"I'm so... so presumptuous! Am I some kind of mean person? I have to stay positive even when watching a performance."

"Throat lozenges! Energy bars! Wind oil! Red ginseng supplements! This thoughtfulness is a bit too much."

"Are you worried that our energy and strength will decline and affect the performance?"

"I've learned a lot. The amateur troupe is even more flattering than the contestants. Unfortunately, I don't fall for it."

After hearing this, Zhou Yixuan's mouth twitched unconsciously for two seconds. The production team had good intentions, but the intention behind this kindness was really obvious, saving the tailors a lot of trouble in the later stage.

But when you think about it, it doesn’t feel bad.

The audience took their seats, and the contestants backstage were ready to go. Star promoter Lee Jae-hyun stood in the shadows behind the curtains, waiting. At the stroke of 2:00 PM, several spotlights lit up, merging into a single beam, pointed at the figure on stage, amid the audience's cheers.

"Hello everyone! I am the star promoter Li Jae-hyun. I am very happy to see you here. I am honored to be the host of the second performance of [Bright Stars]." Li Jae-hyun, wearing a standard professional suit, greeted the audience and the camera.

“Wow!!!”

"here we go!!!"

Lee Jae-hyun spread out his palm and pressed it down. When the cheers died down, he began to introduce the basic rules of the second public performance: "There are a total of 10 competition songs in this performance. Each competition song has two groups, A and B. The original team represents Group A, and the new team represents Group B. Each contestant is a member of both Group A and Group B. So everyone will see the contestants perform twice and see them perform with their old and new teammates..."

After the rules were introduced, the audience nodded as if they understood them.

Since the song selection segment hadn't aired yet, everyone had no idea what the production team was up to, had no direct experience, and didn't understand the specific concepts of the A and B groups. They only knew that there were two groups within one song, and they had to vote for their favorite team.

Of course, everyone at the scene doesn’t need to think too much, just watch the performance on stage.

The production team doesn’t care whether the audience understands it or not. This competition system is more aimed at online groups.

Therefore, after briefly introducing the rules, Lee Jae-hyun stopped explaining and quickly moved the process forward: "Next, let's invite [cat] Group A to the stage."

Watching the fourth-generation group WINS walk onto the stage in unison, the contestants in the waiting room all sat up straight, staring at the screen in front of them with bright eyes.

Lu Wei was very optimistic about this group of contestants. First of all, the WINS group was among the top three in the first performance. Secondly, their song selection continued the team's style and chose a relatively safe and sexy style.

Although Han Seo-young played a trick on everyone during the song selection, based on her recent observations, even if there were conflicts within the group, no contestant would be foolish enough to lose their temper on the performance stage. At most, they would vent their anger at each other, just like her original team did.

After the members on the stage introduced themselves one by one, they did not start the performance immediately, but stepped aside and waited for the staff to complete the set.

This may be the most intuitive difference between online and offline, and it is also the reason why a two-hour feature film takes more than ten hours to record.

The audience and contestants waited a moment while the staff, having prepared the props in advance, quickly set up the stage. A dreamy purple became the dominant color of the stage.

Lu Wei could already foresee what kind of performance this would be, and he leaned back in his chair, ready to make a tactical retreat at any time.

As the music started, Han Shuying and the others, wearing loose silk shirts, blended into the background. Their slightly wavy hair and alluring eyes created a sexy and alluring look.

The attributes of the song itself are brought to the extreme.

The camera panned across the audience, who were covering their mouths with fists one after another, their pupils flashing green with excitement.

Lu Wei pursed her lips tightly, suppressing the corners of her mouth that kept drifting upwards. This was what she, as an adult, should see. Cuteness was nothing compared to sexiness.

The opening team was a great choice. It wasn't dance music, but it was better than dance music. Not to mention that the audience was hooked by black carp, she was almost captivated.

The contestants backstage were used to not commenting or speaking, but their clenched fists, wandering eyes, and constantly straightened corners of their mouths revealed that they were not very calm at the moment.

"Tears streamed down the corners of my mouth."

"It's over. My mind is starting to get dirty."

"Shark, I don't need a sexy knife!"

"Good rice! I vote for you! I vote for you all!"

"Sister, step on me!!!"

Group A's performance ended with screams. Han Shuying and her teammates winked and made hearts at the audience, taking the vote-gathering session to the extreme.

After the performance, the scenery was changed again. A lot of purple elements were removed and many red ornaments were incorporated, making the layering on the stage richer.

The two sets of settings have been adjusted to become completely different.

The players in Group B took the stage under the leadership of Jiang Yilin.

Jiang Yilin ranked 3rd in the first public performance, and her group ranked 4th. Putting aside the issue of tacit understanding and running-in, the gap between her and Han Shuying in the first public performance ranking alone is minimal.

Group B's performance has not yet begun, and no one knows who will get the vote bonus for this performance, but it is certain that Groups A and B are evenly matched.

Otherwise, the program team would not have arranged for them to open the show.

The same music played again, and Lu Wei pursed her lips again. Which pair will the audience prefer, soft or hard?

This is a particularly difficult vote.

The advantage of the fourth-generation group lies in its own style, and the advantage of Jiang Yilin and others lies in the design of details. The small movements that are revealed inadvertently keep people's emotions aroused.

The audience pressed the voting button with resentment.

"Ah Xi! The palms and backs of my hands are all made of flesh."

"I feel it's about the same. Who wins or loses depends on fate."

"I could write 10,000 words on today's repo, boasting about how MNTB is finally not a scam."

"The draft is good at whitewashing northern Myanmar."

After watching one performance after another, Lu Wei's eyes kept lighting up.

A free concert, surprisingly good. What was the first performance like? She couldn't even remember the sizzling tracks. It would be a crime if this show didn't go viral. The Korean pop group's comeback was a resounding success.

The audience ate their throat lozenges again and again, and decisively retracted their complaints about the production team at the beginning of the show. With this level of performance, it would be inhuman not to complain.

The energy supplements kept everyone's spirits high. Although the stools under their buttocks reduced their fatigue, they also restrained their limbs from moving to the music.

The audience in the back row moved their seats early and, with the staff's tacit approval, jumped and waved their cheering sticks.

If the staff hadn't come to inform him, Lu Wei would have almost forgotten that he was also a contestant and needed to perform on stage.
