Chapter 102 The Third Performance 2.0
As for the rap group, that was even worse. Lu Wei's essays were okay, but her rap skills were only slightly better than those of a reader. If this embarrassment were to be spread around the world, she wouldn't have to return home. She could just find a beautiful place to sleep.
As for the vocal and all-around competitions, she wasn't sure what the phrase "find your own suitable performance style" meant. It's impossible for the production team to just sit back and let the contestants figure out every aspect of their performance.
If that was really what Lu Wei thought, then it was over. The uploaders in the ghost zone would fall in love with her for no other reason than because she was kind.
She can choreograph a stretching exercise of one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, rap a reader recitation that moved her to tears, and sing as the moo that supports her teammates. She is versatile... It's not that she can't do it. The worst that can happen is that she will just stop being a human being.
The groundhog yells: Aa ...
Lu Wei couldn't find a reason to stand there anymore. The production team hadn't left her a single chance to escape. All roads lead to the underworld. The third public performance was too horrific. She had never felt this way watching talent shows before.
I knew it was difficult, but I didn’t know it was so difficult.
Even the slightest change without a teacher could throw all her plans and assumptions off. It can only be said that the high level of performance of the contestants in the second public performance gave the production team an opportunity to create some fabrications.
Harmful.........
It’s okay, it’s okay. Brave Xiao Wei is not afraid of difficulties.
Lu Wei shook his head gently, clearing away his complaints and distracting thoughts. He exhaled, then scanned the 12 songs on the board from left to right, his eyes nearly turning into mosquito coils.
The 8 songs in the vocal and dance groups have corresponding styles in pairs, and can be roughly divided into four categories: lyrical, rock, R&B, and KPOP pop.
The rap group's two songs only had accompaniment. Lu Wei's musical literacy was not enough, so he couldn't make out what they were. He only knew that one song had a strong sense of rhythm and the other had a weak sense of rhythm.
She had heard the two songs of the all-round group before. They were both famous songs of Korean singers and were very popular. It was very difficult to adapt them based on the original versions.
After this consideration, Lu Wei had a rough idea of her answer. It was still a challenge, the only difference being between choosing hard mode and hell mode. Between the dance and all-around groups, she preferred the all-around, and between the all-around and vocal groups, she still preferred the all-around.
But... based on her personal abilities, the vocal group was her best choice. Her ranking did give her the right to choose any song, but she couldn't guarantee that every teammate was a professional, nor could she make assumptions about the team's composition.
Honestly, if there was an opportunity to curry favor with someone, Lu Wei would jump at it without hesitation. This way, he could perfectly combine his hobbies with his stage performances. It wasn't shameful to admit his lack of ability.
After finishing his thinking and confirming the answer, Lu Wei withdrew his gaze from the question board.
Lee Jae-hyun received a signal from the director and interrupted the contestants who were still brainstorming: "The 12 competition songs are in front of us. Everyone can now make their choices according to the ranking order."
"Contestant Kim Yu-ri, could you tell me quietly about your song selection preferences?"
Kim Yoo-ri, whose name was called, covered her mouth and uttered a few syllables to Lee Jae-hyun before entering the song selection room separated by wooden boards.
The third public performance was crucial for her chances of securing her first place, and she couldn't just follow her heart. According to 101 tradition, the dance division was where the hottest contenders gathered, while the vocal division was where the comebacks were made. The all-around division was an unknown quantity.
After listening to this, Lee Jae-hyun raised his eyebrows and showed obvious surprise, which enhanced the effect of the show.
This made many contestants start to worry, wondering what kind of choice would cause Lee Jae-hyun to show such an expression. Could they still stumble upon a high-ranking contestant by sheer luck?
Lu Wei discovered that Teacher Li Zaixian had a bit of a bad taste in him, and he perfectly portrayed the word "exaggeration". Tsk... this acting is amazing.
Li Zaixian smiled, turned his gaze to Lu Wei, who had a look of delighted delight, and asked, "Contestant Lu Wei, can you tell us your team selection preference?"
Huh???
Lu Wei felt as if fate had been grasped by her throat. Hadn't she just quietly entered the village without firing a gun? Why had it become a straightforward free-for-all with her? Eating the melon again, and then eating it herself, what kind of physique was this?
How to regulate it?
Seeing Lu Wei's round eyes, Li Jae-hyun suppressed the corners of his mouth that kept moving up and maintained his image as a senior.
The person who tells comedic jokes may not be a comedian, but the one who shows the comedic side in life must be.
Lu Wei thought about it and decided that there was nothing wrong with the group. She took the microphone that the staff had just handed her and replied, "Sure, I want to choose the vocal group."
???!!!!!!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's thoughts began to stir again.
Lu Wei actually doesn't want to go to the dance group, so Jin Youli won't go either, right?
Because too many high-ranking contestants in previous years chose the dance group, even though the all-around group came first, everyone's impression of the dance group is still the most profound.
An Zhuxuan felt a little happy in her heart. Her goal had always been the vocal group. Now she just needed to pray to the God of Fate, hoping that she could choose the song she liked and choose Lu Wei with a one in four chance.
Kong Yufei frowned. Lu Wei's choice was beyond her expectations. No, you, who carried the entire second public performance, are going to the vocal section?
She didn't understand what was going on.
Li Enxing understood, having been teammates with Lu Wei. She knew that Lu Wei had strong execution abilities, but lacked creativity and a certain level of practical skills.
No one would use the Sangong stage to gamble on the strength of their teammates.
Li Jae-hyun nodded: "Okay, I look forward to your choice."
Lu Wei leaned forward slightly in polite response and walked into the music selection channel. Looking at the several signs on the table, she picked up the rock track "Enjoy Yourself" in the white section without hesitation.
The first reason is her basic conditions. Her vocal cords are only slightly better than those of a honey voice, a sweet voice, and a clear voice. Singing ballads and R&B songs will expose her shortcomings too much.
The second reason is her preference. She wants to give the audience a sense of freshness when it comes to K-Pop and rock songs. She tried two styles of K-Pop in the second public performance, so if she were to sing another song now, it might sound a bit homogenized.
Carrying the cards, Lu Wei walked around the partition and came to the relatively empty room. As usual, he greeted the staff first: "Hello, teachers."
After he stood up, he looked at Jin Youli. When their eyes met, he leaned over slightly and greeted her.
After Jin Youli responded politely, her eyes were fixed on the sign in Lu Wei's hand.
White, vocal group.
The moment she saw clearly, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck her head.
Kim Yu-ri: Huh? ??? ???
Both of them were shocked by each other's choice. Lu Wei took hesitant steps and walked towards the vocal group.
Oh my god, Kim Yoo Ri has such strong overall abilities, yet she didn't choose the all-around group. Instead, she chose the dance group. Is the dance group so attractive?
"Which piece did you choose?" Jin Youli asked, suppressing her surprise. She chose the dance group for a simple reason: almost everyone in the group came from there. If she wanted to maintain her ranking, she couldn't act recklessly, and she couldn't continue to be the captain of the nanny team.
The second public performance was easy; everyone had extra votes, and she was able to attract casual fans with her responsible attitude. The third public performance showed this side of her again, and she could give one of her votes to someone else. The all-around category was too risky, and she didn't need to take the gamble.
It’s better to play it safe and join the dance group.
Jin Youli thought Lu Wei would also choose the dance group, after all, her stage presence was really strong. Unexpectedly, she chose the vocal group. This unconventional move would definitely give her some new tricks.
"Enjoy yourself." Lu Weiyi replied while turning the cardboard over completely.
"Very good." Kim Yoo-ri agreed softly, and then quickly calculated in her mind. Although the two of them had no competitive relationship in terms of group in the third public performance, judging from the ranking, they were outright rivals.
The impact of rock music is no less than that of the dance group.
Oh no! If she had known in advance that Lu Wei would be in the vocal group, she would definitely have gone to the all-around group. This would better reflect the difference in strength rather than the difference in the rank assessment.
Before the two of them had time to think about it, Kong Yufei walked in. She nodded slightly and greeted them, then walked towards the all-around group.
If you have the ability and confidence, why not give it a try?
The fourth contestant Jiang Yilin looked at the three clearly separated people in the room, pursed her lips slightly and walked towards the dance group, and stood under the sign of "Shock Wave" with Kim Yoo-ri.
Jiang Yilin's mood was very complicated. Meeting Kim Yoo-ri guaranteed her a chance to perform on stage, but she could not guarantee that she was the most dazzling person in the team, nor could she guarantee her right to speak.
The fifth contestant Gao Wenyan also chose the dance group, but it was another soothing song [Wonderful].
Gao Wenyan, who rose from the ascent to the top, couldn't rely on the support of the popular contestants. Her storyline was a grassroots comeback. Of course, she wasn't particularly interested in the Shura field or taking chances.
Shen Baola, who was in sixth place, didn't want to make any trouble and chose to play it safe. This could be seen from the fact that she was standing under the sign that read "Shock Wave".
Han Shuying, who came in seventh, entered the room, clutching her song selection card, and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hi~~~ Are there so many people in the dance group?"
Lu Wei watched her steps drifting left and right, as if she had drunk two taels of white wine before going on stage, glancing at the camera and the contestants present.
"No one asked me which group to choose? Aren't you curious?" Han Shuying was trying to find the right shot for herself.
“.........”
Lu Wei was silent. She had thought that the politeness and distance that had preceded them was the main theme of Hudou. Han Shuying hadn't brewed the tea for so long that she had already been marinated.
"The dance group?" Gao Wenyan kindly took up the topic.
Jin Youli was too lazy to pay attention to Han Shuying. She hated people who kept causing trouble the most.
"No~~~" Han Shuying smiled and shook his head, walking towards the crowd with a devilish pace.
Contestants: Don’t come over here!!!
Han Shuying pondered for a long time. Her popularity had plummeted, and she needed to find a way to remedy the situation. Entering the all-around group was her best option, and so, with a 50% chance of success, she met Kong Yufei.
The players who were watching her landing all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one came to tease them. The aroma of tea filled the air every day, and it wasn't just unbearable, it was really annoying.
"That's great. Did you choose this group too? I thought I would be alone." Han Shuying took the initiative to greet Kong Yufei.
Kong Yufei bit her back teeth and uttered a syllable: "Hmm."
It's not like she hasn't watched the show. This guy is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Hearing this conversation, Lu Wei's eyes lit up. A little firecracker meets a tea master. This all-rounder team is quite interesting...
Two seconds of sympathy for the other contestants in this group, no more.
Because the eighth comedian, Sun Congli, walked into her area while performing facial expressions.
"Oh my, I didn't expect to meet Xiao Wei in this group. Am I hallucinating?" Sun Congli covered her mouth exaggeratedly and said in a surprised tone.
It had been a while since I last saw the social tough guy. Lu Wei swallowed unnaturally and simply replied, "Hello."
"Hello, hello. I have already imagined Xiaowei singing rock music in my mind. It seems so cool." Sun Congli kept praising. She is a comedian, not a fool. She knows very well how to get the camera time.
The corners of Lu Wei's mouth twitched slightly. She couldn't stand the enthusiasm. She was willing to sacrifice herself to join the firecracker tea art group and contribute to the careers of her friends.
The two of them argued for a while, and only stopped talking when the ninth contestant arrived.
