Chapter 141 The Fourth Performance 14.0

After entering the practice room, everyone did not start recording directly, but instead picked up the hand microphones prepared by the program team and tried the volume.

Without in-ear monitoring, and with a certain amount of audio latency, the performer needs to concentrate fully, keep the beat, and align the vocal points with their dance movements.

Think of it like a karaoke set, except when you're standing right next to the speakers, you're feeling like you're singing and yet you're not. Lu Wei wasn't used to in-ear monitoring before, but after getting used to it, he's starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with it again.

Fortunately, I had been using iPad for practice shooting for the past two days, otherwise I would have made serious mistakes due to my lack of proficiency.

"Are you ready?" the staff asked.

An Zhuxuan turned to look at the team members, and after seeing that they were all right, she replied, "Okay."

Everything was ready. Lu Wei, shielded by her teammates, stood in the middle of the line, her eyes lowered. Although it wasn't a formal stage, without spotlights or an audience, she treated the camera lens as if it were her audience.

Because behind the screen, there are countless friends watching her.

Moreover, this was a position she actively fought for and secured, a position she deserved. It wasn't that she lacked the drive to climb, nor was she simply slacking off. She had something she wanted: she wanted to shine on the stage, to be the sought-after source of light.

Therefore, she will strive to do better and climb towards the top of the mountain step by step.

The music started, and Lu Wei took a deep breath. Beyond determination, her eyes revealed a hidden ambition. Her teammates moved away, catching the beat, and she appeared in front of the camera. She raised her eyes and met the camera's gaze, caught off guard.

There is a hint of confusion and desire in his deep pupils, which forms a sharp contrast with his cold personal temperament.

A single glance could determine life or death. The cameramen carrying their equipment and the directors behind the monitors simultaneously held their breath. Through this square screen, they felt as if they could actually touch the people before them, eliminating the sense of distance between audience and performer.

The aura of a top idol transcended time and space, enveloping everyone. Lu Wei danced to the song "Night" with a unique feeling, and her every move captivated everyone.

I am not intoxicated by the song, but by the person in front of me.

Lu Wei stood at the center, surrounded by his teammates, constantly releasing his emotions and building a channel for emotional interaction. He made them resonate with him and made the auras of the six people blend together.

Infected, Jiang Yilin had some difficulty breathing. She had only practiced with Group B for one day, and she didn't expect Lu Wei to go all out during the official recording. She didn't expect her heart to be pounding so hard and her state to be so high.

It turns out that this is the reason for the success of Adolescence Group B and the band Zideqi. No wonder Kim Yoo-ri has not openly criticized Lu Wei until now.

This feels really great.

For the first time, Jiang Yilin hoped that her teammates could shine brighter and more dazzling so that she could use their light to illuminate herself.

There is no need to say much about Su Zhenrun and Min Cairong. If they were not in the recording, they would have clapped their hands until Lu Wei turned red. The joy of having her emotions drawn and intensified is something only those who stand next to her will understand.

The usually restrained version of Lu Wei is already good enough, and the complete version can only be described as amazing.

Players like An Zhuxuan and Kong Yufei, who had worked with Lu Wei before, were not at all surprised by this. They followed the movements without distraction, pushing the atmosphere in the practice room to a climax.

Several cooperative actions appeared, and the C position rotated. Lu Wei naturally changed from a pistil to a petal. She did not deliberately restrain her aura because she believed that her teammates would support this position.

She believes that idols who have practiced for many years and have stood out from countless people have their own pride and confidence.

Kong Yufei raised the corners of her mouth and turned her gaze towards the camera. With a smile different from her usual template, she looked at the small screen tenderly and affectionately.

Since I can't beat Lu Wei head-on as an opponent, I might as well beat her as a teammate. She is no worse than anyone else.

The fighting spirit of the crowd was ignited one by one, and there seemed to be a layer of light shining on their heads, amplifying their presence and preventing the viewers' gaze from being diverted at all.

The cameraman felt dizzy and lost in a utopia, filming mechanically with his professionalism.

Jiang Yilin had another heart attack for half a second. She was having difficulty breathing because of the heavy aura. When it was her turn to stand in the C position, all the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time floated out. She felt refreshed and unrestrained at the same time, which made her performance even better.

No one can tell that Jiang Yilin is a temporary member. The reason she can become a candidate for the C position is not only because of her excellent personality, but also because of her indispensable strength.

Everyone's energy levels continued to soar, and Lu Wei absorbed her teammates' energy like a sponge, enjoying the performance itself. She loved it, the feeling of working together as one.

The reason why idols mostly debut in groups is because the presence of teammates can make each other better and make up for their respective shortcomings.

Just as others can see the strengths in her, Lu Wei sees the strengths in her teammates and sees their starlight, which is dazzling, eye-catching and shining.

So, let’s become the stars that we can see when we look up, become our own luminous bodies, and become the special and unique light sources in the night sky.

The music gradually stopped, and the camera zoomed in, showing Lu Wei and his teammates, working in pairs, making a heart shape with their hands. The staff present couldn't help but smile when they saw this.

The song isn't cute, but the ending gesture is very friendly.

"Okay, you can take a break first." The staff pointed to the mineral water next to them and said softly.

"Okay, thank you." An Zhuxuan replied politely, breathing slightly.

Lu Weiyi stroked his chest to regulate his breathing while giving a thumbs-up to his teammates.

Everyone is awesome.

Her teammates from the fourth public performance gave her the feeling that they were the best combination of the second and third public performance teammates. Their sense of failure was completely covered up, their frustration turned into confidence, and their confidence radiated from within.

The team members who were amused by Lu Wei's little gesture responded to her with a thumbs-up. There was no need for too many words or excessive exaggeration. A thumbs-up gesture was enough to get the message across.

Jiang Yilin was extremely grateful that she had won part F, the segment that took care of both teams, otherwise she would have missed such an excellent performance and missed such an excellent Lu Wei.

Su Zhenyun and Min Cairong were happy for themselves, happy that they chose An Zhuxuan, who was ranked lower, instead of Jiang Yilin, who was ranked higher and had a better reputation.

Perhaps their excessive efforts can attract the attention of the outside world and help them rise in the rankings. However, as time passes, this admiration will fade. The stage is different, and the performance is different. As long as people like them and resonate with them, they will always be remembered.

Everyone had a myriad of thoughts in their minds, but the main theme was that they did not regret coming to this team and did not regret becoming teammates with the people around them.

The second take began soon, and Lu Wei stood at the positioning point again. This time was different from the last time. The trust between them was stronger, and the atmosphere was softer.

The third recording opportunity was given up after they reached a consensus. They expressed too much emotion and continuous recording would have a weak effect.

If the director uses it as a sacrifice, there will be no way to justify it. It is better to keep the best first and second versions and let the production team choose.

After the song recording was completed, the members of groups A and B met each other in the cafeteria for the first time and sat together to eat for the first time.

At this moment, they are all thinking about one question, that is, how to conduct internal voting after the ranking is announced.

Even with two members on the brink of elimination and advancement, and the unstable rankings of Han Shuying, Kong Yufei, and others, they still exceeded the six-person quota. After so long in training, no one wanted to be squeezed out, and no one wanted to start from scratch.

This piece of music is likely to become everyone's representative work. How to keep it and who to vote for have become the key issues.

During the meal, everyone's eyes kept darting to the people around them, sizing them up, assessing them, and pondering them. Even Lu Wei couldn't eat because of the stares. She said, "Just vote according to your heart. Who you want to stay and who you want to leave is purely a matter of personal choice."

If you really want to stay, then quietly find someone to exchange your ticket. You can do whatever you want within the rules.

The internal voting would have to wait until tomorrow anyway, and Lu Wei had no plans for it. Having achieved her initial goals, her next goal was to perform on stage.

No matter what song it is, she will give her all.

Seeing that everyone was still stuck inside and couldn't get out, Lu Wei picked up the lunch box and said, "Let's go, let's go line up and touch up our makeup first. The ranking release recording will start soon."

Kong Yufei was the first to stand up and follow. She had performed poorly in the third public performance, and she knew how low her ranking would drop. She thought about it yesterday and realized that it was useless to blame anyone for the collapse in the third public performance.

"Let's go." An Zhuxuan called out. She had a feeling that her ranking would rise, but she didn't know how much. She hoped it would be higher and closer to the top circle.

Who doesn’t want to reunite and debut?

It is not a good thing to return to the original company with enthusiasm. Towing planes and aircraft carriers will drag people into the abyss.
