Chapter 065 Second Performance 29.0

After the set was completed, Lu Wei returned to the stage and squatted at the positioning point.

The moment the lights dimmed, the experiences of practicing, grouping, song selection, and trial recording flashed before her eyes like slides.

Finally, it ended up in a scene Lu Wei had never imagined, on top of the warped wooden floor, the broken full-length mirror, and the rusty iron cabinet, in an exercise that felt like stealing.

It hasn't been that long, but I'm inexplicably filled with nostalgia. My mood has been constantly changing since I started competing, and every second and every minute that passes is a new me.

Have those contestants who have been transformed in talent shows ever had the same feeling?

Thinking of this, Lu Wei's face lit up with an indelible smile. Moving forward is a good thing, change is a good thing, and growth is also a good thing.

Since everything is decided based on the heart, there is no need to be afraid. Take bold steps forward to explore. Whether there are flowers or thorns ahead, you will only know after seeing them.

The countdown in the in-ear monitor ended, heavy drumbeats sounded, and the spotlights lit up with a "swish", forcefully dispelling all the darkness. Dry ice, with the help of the blower, brought the smoke onto the stage.

The camera quickly moved forward from a distance, and when it reached the crowd, the last drum beat of the prelude sounded. Lu Wei raised his eyelids, his gaze firm and powerful, like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the camera.

The contestants and staff in the backstage waiting room and at the director's desk all leaned back in their chairs. This unflattering, aggressive look perfectly matched the concept of girl crush. Lu Wei had nailed the style of the song.

Cao Youmei, who had already completed two sets of performances, widened her eyes in surprise. Although no one said it explicitly, the members of her group unanimously agreed that Lu Wei was more suitable for the campus style, that is, the type of [adolescence].

After all, she was the one who got the center position under the hands of Kim Yoo-ri and Lee Eun-byul. It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Wei was the chosen center position. But... the scene before her was jaw-dropping.

Her youthful and energetic image from the previous stage was instantly overturned, and everyone's perception of her was further strengthened. It turns out that Lu Wei can adapt to more than one style.

The value of a public individual ranking is still increasing.

"ah!!!"

“Lu Wei!!!”

The audience was just as shocked as those backstage, and the "mom fan" filter was no longer effective. It can be salty or sweet, and it's full of lethality.

Those who had banners waved them excitedly, while those who didn't waved their cheering sticks vigorously.

Crush means a short, sudden heartbeat. There is no need to explain this feeling of heartbeat. Just look at the hands dancing to the rhythm on the scene and you will know.

Lu Wei's emotions continued to rise with the melody. In this song, she did not choose any suppression method, but released all the fire burning in her chest.

Tear off the labels of harmlessness and innocence, bravely express yourself, show your strength, and show your confident and independent side.

She knew that her dancing and vocal skills were insufficient, and she also knew that she might not be able to perfectly present her understanding of the song.

But standing here, standing on this stage that carries countless dreams, Lu Wei will try his best to do his best, even if it means overloading his emotions.

The excitement and excitement continued to spread, filling the entire space. The audience, staring closely at the same figure, began to breathe faster and their chests rose and fell more loudly.

This infectious power exceeded everyone's imagination, and Lu Wei's special talent could no longer be hidden.

Han Hyun-jin and the others finally understood why they performed so well during the first rehearsal for the first public performance. It turns out that emotions are transmitted and stimulated by each other, and everyone's aura is mixed together.

The most charming moment for an idol is often when she is the most confident. The momentum of cutting through mountains and building bridges across rivers can break through all obstacles and go straight into the hearts of the audience who are on guard.

"Woo... Mother's love has gone sour."

"My Villeroy & Boch, no, my little Villeroy."

"If anyone dares to mention the word 'trash' from now on, I will grab my keyboard and launch a nuclear attack, and everyone will die."

"Help! How can I face my Villeroy & Boo? Mom has betrayed me and become a member of the Villeroy & Boo Party."

Before entering the venue, the staff repeatedly emphasized the precautions for watching the performance. One of them was that except for the beginning and the end, no screaming was allowed during the performance to affect the reception.

So now everyone can only shake their cheering sticks wildly and express their love by muttering.

Backstage, Jin Youli, Han Shuying, and the others frowned slightly, their palms unconsciously clenched. Lu Wei was too strong, not in terms of physical strength, but in terms of infectiousness.

Why are idols called idols, rather than singers or dancers? Because they have qualities worth liking and pursuing. They are role models, sources of light, and another form of self-improvement.

This infectious power can magnify Lu Wei's strengths and make the audience notice her first among thousands of contestants.

Even more terrifying was the fact that everyone saw Lu Wei's inner strength. Her entire demeanor was as if to say: Even if all the other contestants on this stage tanked, it wouldn't affect her in the slightest.

If she wasn't a green card holder, the contestants aiming for the C spot tonight probably wouldn't be able to sleep well. But... then again, even if she was a green card holder, after the second public performance, it would still be hard to feel at ease.

Kim Yoo-ri took a deep breath. Her second public performance journey wasn't over yet. No more thinking. The truth would show up on stage.

Han Shuying didn't know where Lu Wei came from. His sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. Her teammate in Group B, Jin Youli, did not choose to suppress him, but chose to support him.

Han Shuying admits that she does not have this kind of magnanimity. She may not lose in the second public performance, but she needs to re-evaluate these opponents.

The performance hadn't even ended yet, and some contestants, anticipating the reactions to the second public performance, were already mulling over their own performances. The audience, however, was still immersed in their joy.

It was not until the music stopped that everyone was freed from all kinds of thoughts, emotions and ideas.

The ending close-up passed over Lu Wei's face again. She tried hard to control her breathing rate and keep the performance state until the last second.

During the performance, the audience who were afraid to cheer and scream finally freed their pinched thighs and opened their voices again after shouting all afternoon.

"ah!!!!"

“Lu Wei!!!”

"Xiao Wei!!!"

Everyone didn't know what words to use to describe their feelings at the moment, and could only shout Lu Wei's name frantically, trying to express their love for Lu Wei in this way.

Lu Wei held her back and breathed hard. The excessive release of emotion had caused her brain to be deprived of oxygen, and her vision was a little black. She didn't feel tired or exhausted, but her body felt like it was walking on cotton.

Li Jae-hyun came on stage with the microphone. When he noticed that something was wrong with Lu Wei, he did not cue her immediately, but passed the question to other members.

"It seems our star promoter really likes the performance of [MIDI Midi] Group A. Does the captain have anything to say?"

Jin Nayan raised the microphone, restrained the urge to look at Lu Wei, and answered to the audience: "Thank you for your support and love. The team members have put a lot of effort into this stage. I hope I didn't let you down."

“You won’t be disappointed!”

“The stage was great!”

The audience responded enthusiastically.

Hearing these words, Jin Nayan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned forward to bow slightly. She knew why everyone was cheering, and it was normal if the audience didn't give her face.

Fortunately, she didn't look at Lu Wei in an attempt to hide her true intentions.

Li Zaixian nodded and said, "Our contestants have indeed put in a lot of effort for the stage. Star promoters, can you give them some applause?"

"good!"

"Can!"

"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"

It’s just clapping. The audience was in a very good mood at the moment and did not hesitate to give their applause.

Li Zaixian asked the contestants on the stage a few more questions. Seeing that Lu Wei had recovered and knew what everyone wanted to hear and what the director wanted to see, he turned the conversation to Lu Wei.

"We all know that this is contestant Lu Wei's last second public performance. Do you have anything to say to the star promoters who support you both on and off stage?"

Upon hearing this question, the audience holding Lu Wei's banners all flashed their eyes and focused all their attention on Lu Wei.

Lu Wei took the microphone and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile.

"I'm so grateful that everyone saw me, so grateful that everyone came to the scene, and so grateful for everyone's love. Even if this is a future destined to have no results, I have no regrets for being able to walk this journey with you."

After he finished speaking, Lu Wei bowed deeply towards the audience.

Sensing the pessimism in Lu Wei's words, Zhou Yixuan responded immediately with red eyes: "No! There will be a result! There will definitely be a result!"

"Lu Wei! Please believe in yourself! Believe in us! This path will definitely bear fruit!"

"You're not alone! We're all here!"

"Baby! Don't worry! There will definitely be results! You will see a wider world! Move on to a bigger stage!"

Hearing the shout, Lu Wei didn't know what to say, so he could only bow a little longer, hoping to make up for the sense of guilt he felt.

She doesn't know if she can continue, or whether she will stay in Korea after leaving the show. However, she sincerely hopes that this journey will end with fewer regrets for everyone.
