Chapter 083 Transition Chapter 9.0
After the second public performance officially aired, Lu Wei could clearly feel the impact of public opinion on everyone. Some contestants walked with a sense of joy, while others were visibly depressed.
Although the second half of the second public performance has not been released yet, everyone knows that unless the performance is a huge hit, it will be difficult to catch up with those who already have an advantage in popularity and attention before the ranking is released.
This meeting is not only a benefit given by the program team to fans, but also the last chance given to the contestants before stage-by-stage elimination.
Of course, this is a very clever conspiracy. The program team put the guidance out in the open, telling everyone directly: If you want to stand out and be seen by more people, then create a better stage to win the audience's cheers and support.
So a new round of voluntary training began, and the strongest worker in the entertainment industry came online. Lu Wei held the hand microphone props and worked on the details over and over again in front of the mirror with his teammates.
The larger the venue, the more susceptible the sound will be to interference from the environment. To avoid problems such as microphone howling and heavy breathing, this meeting used a handheld microphone.
So how to hold the hand microphone, which hand to use, where to place it while dancing, and at what height to maintain became one of the issues they needed to consider at the moment.
Yes, that's just one of the problems.
There are also a series of issues such as movement direction, areas responsible for the four sides of the platform, adjustment of the live camera angle, and AB combination training.
"OK, stop for a moment. I'll borrow some equipment from the teacher and shoot a group dance chorus first." Jin Youli exhaled and called for a stop. She was fulfilling her duties as captain. She thought she could separate from Lu Wei and others after the second public performance, but she didn't expect that there would be a meet-and-greet.
However, this piece of cake is really sweet, even if it takes a little effort, she still wants to take a bite. As for Lu Wei, just stay away from her as her fans said. After all, both of them are the beneficiaries of the second public performance.
There's no need to make the relationship so strained.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lu Wei and his teammates thanked Jin Youli in unison. Everyone would rather be overly polite in their words and actions than be labeled as ungrateful, heartless, or other negative labels.
That would be really unfair.
Lu Wei is not a fool, and the team members are not dull either. They can feel the subtle difference in Kim Yoo-ri's attitude before and after the second public performance.
This is normal. For contestants who don't want to be deeply tied up, it is a basic cutting process to pave the way for the third public stage in advance.
Different standpoints lead to different ways of doing things.
People like An Zhuxuan and Cao Youmi hope that the friendship between them in the second public performance can continue. Even if it cannot, they will try their best to win the favor of passers-by by taking advantage of the attention they pay to high-ranking contestants.
Lu Wei, on the other hand, was someone who saw things clearly, but unfortunately lacked the stamina and energy to delve into them. Her entire focus was currently on the stage, and she only occasionally pondered the San Gong (Three Public Performances) before bed.
In the final analysis, both the script flow and the favorability flow need to be supported by performance, so she should try to figure it out first.
Lee Eun-byul's reputation has improved significantly thanks to her performance in the second public performance, but her previous dismal performance is undeniable. She has gone from being a highly anticipated prospect to being just another ordinary player in the eyes of the outside world.
Now that the second public performance has been finalized, if she wants to catch up with others, she must either put more effort into the third public performance, or offer a huge profit to Kim Yoo-ri to sell her 101-series feelings.
Why not look for Lu Wei? Because her "unique beauty" is too conspicuous. It would be useless to look for her. If she doesn't take the lead, Li Enxing will look like a clown.
Why bother?
Therefore, after the second public performance was broadcast, the overall team atmosphere of Group B of Adolescence seemed to have changed, but also seemed to have not changed.
But this has nothing to do with practice. Everyone is clear about it and will not do anything to ruin their future.
The other groups were a bit more entertaining, with chaos and commotion every day. Even Lu Wei would listen to the gossip while eating.
When the pressure gets too great, the players' words become sharp, and conflicts can erupt. For example, Kong Yufei, now sullenly isolating her teammates from Group B, the entire WINS team reeking of tea, and the spooky "World" teams A and B.
It was not a formal recording, and there was no camera tracking in the cafeteria, so the contestants' condition was truly terrible.
Lu Wei's quality gradually declined. He could eat two bowls of rice every day just listening to these funny things. It was especially delicious, even more interesting than watching his group's workplace battles before.
Of course, if the positions were reversed, other contestants would also turn their attention to them when they saw netizens’ detailed analysis of Group B of Adolescence.
It turns out the most plastic team has already appeared before everyone, but they just didn't notice it. Tsk tsk tsk... Is this a moral decline, or a distortion of society?
Lu Wei was actually fine, because she'd seen and experienced all that hilarious stuff before. As long as netizens didn't use ridiculous memes that would make her socially infuriating, it wouldn't matter if everyone danced right in front of her.
Practice days are always busy and tiring, and everyone can only rely on some fun to relax their minds.
With the fan meeting just around the corner, the contestants were stuck in the A and B group rehearsals. Even with the production team's unified arrangements, they could still manage to get enough practice time, but they couldn't always get enough people together for the extra practice sessions.
Lu Wei understood this perfectly. She went to A one day, B the next, switching teams every day to ask for leave. There was no other way except to improve efficiency within the time nodes arranged by the production team.
Moreover, without the necessary running-in, the more distinct the personalities of the two groups of players are, the more difficult it will be for them to integrate together.
Especially in the adolescent group, Lu Wei would have a headache every time he saw Kong Yufei. The two of them were the C positions in groups A and B respectively, and in the final chorus, they happened to be standing opposite each other, very close to each other.
The two of them have different understandings of the song, and the results are very disjointed.
Lu Weiwei tried to change himself, trying to get closer to Kong Yufei's style and make himself more like the traditional Goryeo center.
But she was really frustrated. As the center, any slight change would cause huge changes in the team, and everyone would need to adapt to the changes in the team.
Jin Youli and others were very cooperative, but... Kong Yufei was not cooperating. In other words, she didn't know how to cooperate.
The members of Group B couldn't say much, and they couldn't criticize others in front of the camera. If the two teams in the second public performance were evenly matched, they could have brought up this issue, but the vote difference was so huge that bringing it up would have seemed like bullying.
The outside world always favors the weak.
The day before rehearsal, Lu Wei sighed deeply as he watched the still-unsatisfactory recording footage. Whether it was forced by the production team or the contestants' own will, everyone was now on the same page.
She nodded slightly to Jin Youli and other teammates in Group B, then walked over to Kong Yufei and said, "Let's talk."
Upon hearing this, before Kong Yufei could react, Kim Yoo-ri, Ahn Joo-hyun and other members of Group B all breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god, if it weren't for the fact that Group B was being lauded as a teenager, they would have wanted to see what was going on in Kong Yufei's head. A teammate who could only make others adapt to her was terrifying. Lu Wei looked like a little angel in comparison.
"Okay." Kong Yufei pursed her lips, looked around, and seeing that no one raised any objections, she lowered her eyes and followed Lu Wei out of the practice room.
She hadn't been in a good mood recently. The atmosphere in Group B was heavy, and Group A had run into Lu Wei and the others. In order to avoid being criticized by the outside world, she had to work harder to show herself. Unexpectedly, this still caused problems.
The staff behind the camera exchanged a glance and chose not to pick up their equipment and follow. They still had to give the contestants some breathing time, so as not to make them sick.
"Pa pa pa! Let's continue." Jin Youli clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and took over the task of controlling the situation.
Although I don't want to interfere, for the sake of the stage, I can't let Lu Wei down. The conversation between the two center positions is always better than that between the captains.
After entering the safety passage, Lu Wei stopped, took a deep breath, turned around, looked at Kong Yufei, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you think about the A and B groups performing together, and I haven't asked you for your opinion. I'm sorry, I have my own problems in this regard, and I apologize. But the meeting is the day after tomorrow, and we don't have much time left to get used to each other. Right now, it seems that the two groups are still dancing separately, and the picture is very disconnected. I don't know if you understand what I mean."
Kong Yufei was a little stunned. She thought Lu Wei would blame her and make some insinuations about her. After all, her teammates in Group B had done this many times off-camera.
She didn't expect Lu Wei's words to be so sincere, which made her a little at a loss.
"I'm sorry... I didn't know there was this problem in the team. I didn't notice it." Kong Yufei didn't make excuses. She was really worried recently.
After getting the response, Lu Wei's heart was relieved. Fortunately, Kong Yufei was not the kind of person who would argue with her for no reason, otherwise she would really turn around and leave, loving whoever she wanted.
"It's okay. We haven't run in together enough. Everyone has problems. My style is different from yours. I hope that in the following practice, you can not be so tense. Relax a little and treat the two groups as one." Lu Wei gave a solution. Even if she had thousands of methods, she could not pry open the tightly contracted shell of the river clam without hurting it.
"Okay." Kong Yufei nodded, having made up her mind. The stage was indeed more important than anything else, and she was willing to listen to suggestions.
After the two finished chatting, they returned to the practice room one after the other.
