twenty three
Chapter 23
At the end of the one-minute video, Lin Qingyi had already memorized most of the movements, while the rest of the members still looked distressed.
Lin Qingyi played it several times without getting tired of it, and everyone spontaneously practiced following the video.
Those who chose the dance group were not bad at dancing, so they were naturally not slow in learning. After playing it about seven or eight times, basically all the members had learned it.
Seeing that everyone had no questions, Lin Qingyi said, "Since everyone has no questions, we will start the display according to the voting order. After everything is finished, we will conduct an anonymous vote."
Coincidentally, Lin Qingyi has now become the backbone of their group. Since Lin Qingyi said to vote in order, it would naturally start with her.
With the previous performances, everyone naturally had an idea of Lin Qingyi's dancing ability. Some people originally wondered whether Lin Qingyi would not participate in the competition. Even if she directly said that she had the ability, no one would think it was a big deal. However, Lin Qingyi was still practicing very seriously, and now that she was talking about competing, she did not slack off at all.
Lin Qingyi really takes every opportunity to show himself seriously.
A one-minute dance was easy for her and required almost no skills.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration when they saw how smoothly she danced.
After her, each member began to perform in turn.
In fact, there is definitely no one who is particularly bad. Everyone who can choose the dance group has more or less certain dancing skills.
Lin Qingyi stood aside and watched. When a member came out, she felt very good.
She looked at the name tag hanging around the other person's waist.
He Minju.
Lin Qingyi had no impression of her.
But in fact, she actually has no impression of many people.
Soon, all ten members of the team had finished their presentations.
Lin Qingyi took out some white paper and tore it into pieces. Everyone wrote down the eight members they wanted to stay. The two with the least votes would be eliminated.
It was Lin Qingyi's idea to write down the eight members he wanted. If he had just written down who would be eliminated, not only would everyone be confused, but the two eliminated members would also be embarrassed.
After everyone finished writing, Lin Qingyi collected the notes, shuffled them, and then unfolded them one by one.
After the votes were counted, the two members with the fewest votes stood up somewhat frustrated.
Of course they would be unhappy if they didn't get the song they wanted selected, but they didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
After everyone finished their presentation, they all had a better understanding of their own and others’ abilities, and they all knew who should leave.
The eight remaining members comforted them with a few words, and then the two members left in disappointment.
The remaining eight members will start choosing the center position.
After just one minute of dance selection, everyone naturally has a candidate in mind for the center position.
But everyone still needed to vote because the final voting results had to be handed over to the tutor, so in the end, everyone voted anonymously.
Of course, the person chosen as the C position is Lin Qingyi.
Lin Qingyi received a total of seven votes.
The remaining vote was cast by Lin Qingyi, who voted for He Minju.
The reason for choosing to vote for He Minju is very simple. She dances well but has never been noticed. Now that this result is out, maybe everyone will start paying attention to her.
After the C position was voted out, the screen flashed for a moment, and soon lit up again.
There are six mentors listed above.
Zhou Binglu held up the script and said, "After the election just now, everyone's team has now been assigned eight members."
"And in everyone's voting, the final six center members have all been selected."
"I won't announce the C-position members list yet. I'll keep it a secret. Everyone in the team can figure it out on their own."
"Next, it will be the 10-day training period for the second performance."
The training time was shorter and more intense than the first performance.
After Zhou Binglu finished her announcement, the screen went dark and a new interface popped up.
It is a complete version of six tracks.
The members were all stunned for a moment, and Lin Qingyi was the first to react and clicked on the full video of the second song.
The song style of their group is more inclined towards hip-hop, and it is a cool dance.
The dance movements may seem spontaneous, but they actually require more control, and the dancer's mastery of the dance framework is also very important.
But from that one-minute clip, it’s hard to imagine that the other parts are actually quite difficult.
Just the footwork in the middle of the dance made everyone a little dizzy.
After Lin Qingyi was chosen as the C position, he naturally needed to take on some responsibility.
Although she usually doesn't like to talk much, she always stands up at critical moments. With the experience of the first performance, Lin Qingyi took everyone to watch the video several times, and after having an idea in mind, she began to let everyone stand in their own positions.
The first thing to do is to form a line.
In order to avoid taking the same detour as last time, she chose to take a good picture of the formation right from the start.
Lin Qingyi has been in charge of all matters since they first came in, so naturally everyone has developed some trust in Lin Qingyi.
After the first performance, everyone paid more attention to their positions, so everyone found their own positions and adjusted their surrounding positions according to their maximum movement range.
Lin Qingyi took a look at them after they had stood in place and found it pleasing to the eye. They were indeed worthy of being members who had come to the second performance. Compared with the first performance, this standing position was already very good, to the extent that they could be directly pulled out to dance without any problem.
She only had to make slight adjustments, and it was already perfect enough.
After making the adjustments, Lin Qingyi turned the video to 0.5 times the speed. Everyone slowly began to follow the video, one movement at a time, while Lin Qingyi observed and adjusted through the mirror.
At the end of the day, everyone was able to dance along at 0.7 times the speed while maintaining formation, while the original speed was still a bit difficult.
But He Minju can already jump out of the original speed completely.
The more Lin Qingyi watched, the more strange it seemed to him. Since the beginning of practice, He Minju had not made any mistakes and had a strong ability to learn dance, but he had never noticed this before and his ranking was not very high.
The next morning, everyone went to the dance studio. This time the practice time was short, so everyone had to get up early and stay up late. And this time, there was no instructor to guide them.
Everyone kept practicing following the video, and by the end of the second day, everyone was able to finish the dance at the original speed without making any mistakes.
Lin Qing was lying in bed in the middle of the night, feeling a little happy. He didn't expect that he could practice so fast.
But I am also very worried because after the dance, it is the singing part. Although the singing part in the dance group is not that long and not that difficult, singing is still required.
On the third day, everyone started practicing singing.
Lin Qingyi practiced with the other team members in the morning. The members who were good at singing were also guiding her, but for some reason, she just couldn't sing well.
In the evening, after the other members finished practicing, she had to stay and continue practicing her solo dance and singing parts.
By the fifth day, she had mastered her dance as the center, but her singing was completely behind the group.
She knew that continuing like this was not a solution. For some reason, she just couldn't find the mood to sing.
Lin Qing gritted his teeth and decided to sleep two hours less at night these few days and do more research on his own.
At two o'clock in the morning, Lin Qingyi was still practicing singing.
Suddenly, the door of the dance studio opened.
Lin Qingyi didn't expect that there would be members of their team coming at this time. When she turned around, she was stunned.
The person who walked in was not a member of their team, but Ning Cong'an.
Lin Qingyi met her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.
It was Ning Cong'an who spoke first: "Are you practicing singing?"
Hearing her voice, Lin Qingyi came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, I don't know what's wrong. I always can't sing well..."
Lin Qingyi held the lyrics paper, feeling a little helpless.
The time was short, but she had not been practicing well. There was still a big gap between her and the team. Anyone would be nervous.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Just as Lin Qingyi was about to ask the other party what he came in for, Ning Cong'an suddenly whispered, "I'm going to teach you how to sing."
"What?"
Lin Qingyi actually heard it, but he couldn't believe it.
Ning Cong'an thought she was speaking too softly and didn't hear him, so he blushed and said, "I'll teach you to sing."
"But," Ning Cong'an said, and then added, "There's a dance I can't do well. Can you teach me?"
When Lin Qingyi really followed the other party and kept adjusting the pitch with the lyrics paper, she was still a little slow to react.
How come they are not in the same group anymore? They can still help each other.
She was originally thinking that she should stay away from the other person, but how did it turn out like this?
But when I think about the fact that if I rely on myself, the singing part of the second public performance will probably be doomed, in the face of the results, online rumors and the like can just go away.
There are ten days of practice in total, and the last two days need to be rehearsed, so it takes eight days in total.
On the sixth day, when Lin Qingyi practiced with everyone, his singing was obviously not so out of place anymore.
He Minju and Tan Xiaoran live in the same dormitory. These days, the three of them occasionally eat together. During the practice these days, Lin Qingyi and He Minju gradually became familiar with each other and would chat in the practice room.
He Minju has studied dance professionally and is much more professional than Lin Qingyi in some aspects, so sometimes Lin Qingyi still needs He Minju's help.
During dinner on the sixth day, He Minju sat next to her and said with some surprise, "Your singing has improved so quickly. You're like a completely different person today."
Lin Qingyi was embarrassed to say that it was Ning Cong'an who was teaching her, so she just smiled and turned a blind eye.
At night, the two of them did as they had agreed. After everyone left, Ning Cong'an would come over. She would first teach Lin Qingyi to sing, singing a section every day, and for the rest of the time, Lin Qingyi would help her adjust her dance.
Ning Cong'an's group's style is lyrical songs, so the dance tends to be soft and stable, but Ning Cong'an happens to have neither of these.
Lin Qingyi will help Ning Cong'an stretch and relax his body first, and then start practicing.
By the seventh night, the mutual teaching had come to an end.
When Lin Qing was helping Ning Cong'an adjust, he suddenly felt that these past few days, the two of them had been waiting until there was no one around to meet each other late at night. Why did it feel like they were having an affair?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyi was shocked and quickly shook his head to get rid of this inexplicable idea. As a result, Ning Cong'an next to him didn't stand firmly and fell down.
