Chapter 022 The first performance ends
Whether it is regret or frustration, the time that has passed cannot be reversed.
but...
In the remaining recording time, there is still a chance to make up for the regrets.
This is also the biggest highlight of the talent show. No one's fate is predetermined, and no one's sweat will be in vain.
There will always be people cheering for you, there will always be people feeling sorry for you, and there will always be people who can see your efforts.
Lu Wei's gaze slowly swept across the contestants in the recording studio, finally stopping at the backs of the audience members leaving the venue on the screen. The huge rock weighing on his heart seemed to be loosening slightly.
[Bright Stars] The first stage performance ended hastily under the witness of the audience.
The show hasn't officially aired yet, so it's unclear whether the public's perception of them will change after their performance. All they can do is move forward with trepidation, for themselves and for that unattainable dream.
When the auditorium was empty again, the staff member pushed open the door to the recording room and said to the waiting contestants, "The next round of tasks will be announced soon. Please gather in the studio."
After hearing the arrangement, everyone stood up in an orderly manner and walked out of the recording room from near to far, following the rules for getting off the bus or subway.
At this time, the benefits of sitting in the back row are reflected, as you can leave your seat quickly and breathe fresh air.
Of course, there are no close-up shots. This is not a travel vlog, and who would have the time to shoot transition videos in a variety show?
Unless you jog now and get to the bottom of the stage as soon as possible, which is the audience seat, which the staff calls the studio, and quickly grab the front position to get the best shooting position.
This is the only way to turn the disadvantage of being in the back row into an advantage, get close-up shots smoothly, and increase your personal weight.
Almost at the moment the idea came to his mind, Lu Wei clearly felt that the pace of his teammates beside him was getting faster and faster. If he had not been concerned about his own image and the eyes of other players, he would have probably changed from small steps to big strides.
Even Park Yun-ji, who usually disdains to compete, followed at the same speed.
In this situation, what else could she say? She could only silently speed up her pace so as not to be left behind by her teammates or caught up by the people behind.
By the time his teammates finally occupied the best seats, Lu Wei hadn't had a chance to catch his breath.
The staff then broke the bad news to everyone: for the sake of filming, they couldn't stand in a horizontal or messy row. They had to line up in groups, forming vertical rows so that each group stood out clearly in front of the camera.
At that moment, the expressions on the faces of the contestants who occupied the best seats based on their strength were extremely wonderful.
The staff member scratched his head embarrassedly. Although the program team encouraged the contestants to compete in a healthy manner, the main shooting scenes still had to be more regular.
Thinking that the players would soon gather, and not wanting to cause a fight over such a minor matter, the staff thought for a few seconds and offered a solution: "How about this? You all stand in a vertical row in the middle, and don't move. When the other teams arrive, they will expand to the sides as normal."
"Okay, thank you." As the captain, Kim Na-yeon politely expressed her gratitude on behalf of all the members.
In fact, even without this supplement, no one would have complained. They couldn't go against the production team. At most, they would learn from their mistakes and grab a seat in the recording room in advance next time.
Seeing that the storm was over, Lu Wei didn't say anything more and walked to the end of the team consciously.
Han Xuanzhen was quick-witted and stood behind Kim Nayeon with a big stride. The first row basically consisted of her captain and the center of the group, so her purpose was obvious.
Seeing this, the others quickly filled the spaces behind Lu Wei before he reached the end.
The main point is: eight hundred ideas, each one is useful and has a place to go.
Lu Wei knew everyone was anxious, but she hadn't expected them to be this anxious. For the first time in front of the camera, she couldn't help but chuckle.
The scene before her instantly brought to her mind the videos that certain B and D had seen, those clips where they held up an eight-fold magnifying glass to prove that the members of popular groups were not in harmony with each other and had bad relationships.
From the perspective of an irrelevant spectator, most people would think that the editor is biased, cannot stand others doing well, and has to make random edits to disgust others.
But from the perspective of the person involved, Lu Wei realized that art really comes from life! Everything in front of him is worth savoring.
The hilarity of this incident is comparable to the rehearsal incident.
If it weren't for this experience of recording the variety show, she might still have superimposed filters on her teammates in her mind. After going through this period of time, it has not been easy for everyone.
But now, she didn't want to say anything more.
Any contestant who wants to go further in the show will do sit-ups when he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't help but think: No, "they"...why are they like this?
Lu Wei pursed his lips slightly, suppressed his speech and walked to the end of the team. The last bit of thought that he had about maintaining the relationship was shattered by reality.
If she wasn't afraid of being maliciously edited in Korea and affecting the image of Chinese green card holders abroad, she probably wouldn't even have the energy to pretend. At worst, they would all sink together.
Qiao Zhizhi, who happened to be standing nearby and accidentally observed everything, felt a bit of sympathy for Lu Wei. It would have been fine if he had no part in the song and no close-up shots, but now he was being treated like this by his teammates who were taking advantage of him.
They all have overseas work green cards, but at least her teammates didn't do anything sneaky behind the scenes. Everyone talked about their issues and competed openly. There was no such thing as the whole team excluding one person.
It's really too tragic. No wonder it looks so good but hasn't made any splash.
When there are conflicts between members, the company bears the brunt of the blame. If it weren't for the upper echelons following suit, it would be hard to see them being treated as invisible.
Tsk.....what bad luck.
With a negative reference object, Qiao Zhizhi now looks at her teammates with a more friendly look.
Lu Wei didn't think she was that miserable. She now looked at the people around her with the attitude of: Let's see what tricks you can come up with.
After separating myself from the competition, the experience of recording the variety show instantly became overwhelming, and I had the joy of watching "Flower Studies 2" live.
Seeing the contestants gradually lining up, Lu Wei, who was no longer focused on her own little piece of land, took a look with her big eyes and actually discovered something.
A massive, heavy sloth rested on Kim Yoo-ri's shoulders, and the contestant next to Lee Eun-byul was practically toe-to-toe with her. The space they were in was being squeezed, and they couldn't show any dissatisfaction in front of the camera.
If Lu Wei hadn't been judging others by his own standards, the scene before him would have been difficult to judge. These two people seemed to have good tempers, and they hadn't started a fight yet.
If this information is exposed by the audience after the show is broadcast, who wouldn’t say: Decent, and then respectfully call out: Sister Decent?
It turns out that being ambitious, cherishing opportunities, and doing things secretly are not in conflict at all.
Before she even stepped into the ivory tower of university, she had already experienced the harsh working environment, which made her look like a sieve to everyone.
After the contestants had assembled and the cameras were set up, Lee Jae-hyun reappeared in front of everyone, standing on the stage with a microphone and saying, "First of all, congratulations to everyone for completing this performance! Secondly, I hope everyone will cheer up and face the challenges of the next stage in the best condition."
As soon as these words were spoken, the contestants' expressions became much more serious. They all showed their serious and focused side in front of the camera.
"I declare that the second phase of the performance mission of [Bright Stars] has officially begun." Li Jae-hyun said in a sonorous voice facing the camera.
Aha?
Isn't that referendum announced?
Where did this link go?
Lu Wei's eyes flashed with confusion, but thinking that the program crew would not be criticized for making such a low-level mistake, he put his mind at ease.
"I believe that before participating in the recording, everyone has read the invitation letter sent by the program team to the star promoters. The title of the second stage is [Return to the original intention of the choice]. In the second stage, the program team gave everyone two chances and several choices. In this stage, you are not only a member of a group, but also an individual. Next, I will announce the cumulative vote ranking of the groups on the first performance stage to select the ten classic songs in the first opportunity." Li Jae-hyun's language is concise and clear, so that people can clearly understand the content of his words even without subtitles.
Lu Wei was not bothered by the words "ranking by cumulative votes". Although the number of members in a group is not fixed, the number of audience members is fixed. When the vote pools are equal, fairness can be guaranteed to a certain extent.
She was mainly wondering what the other chance among "two chances, several choices" was.
After all, not breaking up the teams and continuing to perform together is too common for variety shows. The popularity of the program group is likely to decline, and it will become a melee of obscure groups.
Lee Jae-hyun gave the contestants a two-minute cool-down period. When the time was up, he took the initiative to continue the topic: "Next, I will announce the rankings one by one from 10 to 1."
Reverse order is more heartbreaking than forward order. Lu Wei objectively guessed that the ranking of "Miracle Girl" should be in the range of 10-8, and the error should not exceed two digits.
Lee Jae-hyun glanced at the card and read: "10th place: Dark Group, total votes: 256."
The 10th place was announced, and no one was surprised. The Dark group was bad at both singing and dancing. It wasn't that their skills were that bad, but there were big problems with the choreography and music.
The listening and viewing experience are not good.
What surprised everyone was that with a total vote pool of 600, Dark only received less than half of the votes. The audience's voting standards seemed to be more stringent than expected.
The members of Dark had already prepared themselves, but being ranked last and being at the bottom were two different things, and tears fell uncontrollably to the ground.
The rankings were still being announced, and the contestants could do nothing more than offer some sympathetic glances.
"Ninth place: LyLe, with a total of 274 votes."
"8th place ACA, with a total of 312 votes."
The 9th and 8th place were announced one after another.
There was no time to feel sad for others. Jin Nayan and others widened their eyes in surprise. They knew that the audience was very enthusiastic about Lu Wei, but they didn't expect that they would be ranked above 8th.
