Chapter 137 The Fourth Performance 11.0
Before leaving the practice building, Lu Wei and his teammates removed their radios. The short walk from here to the dorms was one of the few times the contestants weren't wearing any persona masks.
"Sigh..." Min Cairong sighed deeply. After participating in the recording, her future was indeed much brighter than before, but she was also very tired.
Lu Wei pursed her lips slightly after hearing this. Sighs, like yawns, are contagious. She had no worries at the moment, and certainly didn't need late-night emo.
"Tsk...stop sighing. Good luck will run away if it hears it." An Zhuxuan smacked his lips and advised from a metaphysical perspective.
She had been leading the team for a whole day and was so exhausted that even her voice dropped.
"They are also very good." Su Zhenrun said with emotion. If Jiang Yilin had been chosen as the captain, she would probably still be there ringing the bell now. Of course, she would have twice as many shots.
So she is feeling a little complicated now.
Everyone knew who "they" referred to, and without further questioning, they all nodded in response. Being able to outlive an eagle was indeed a skill.
"Do you think we will be the ones being dragged down?" Min Cairong turned her head and looked at her teammates on both sides and asked. In fact, she already had the answer in her mind.
Kong Yufei replied firmly: "No."
An Zhuxuan hesitated a little: "Maybe."
Without looking at their ID badges, there was nothing wrong with their answers. But after looking at their job titles, it was clear that An Joo-hyun, as the team leader, had so little confidence in her team.
Therefore, Kong Yufei curled her lips in disgust.
Lu Wei raised her brows slightly but said nothing. She wasn't troubled, but she understood her teammates' struggles. Becoming a villain wasn't easy.
"What about Xiaowei? What do you think?" Min Cairong continued to ask without giving up, as if seeking some kind of psychological comfort. Her ranking was too far behind everyone else's. Although whether she was eliminated had nothing to do with her performance in the fourth public performance, it was not bad to be able to retain some seeds of hope.
"We didn't do anything wrong by making different choices. What the outside world thinks and sees it depends more on the final result. The process in between is neither important nor unimportant. There are only two days left, and we'd better take the time to study how to make the practice room version of the recording look like a formal performance." Lu Wei expressed her opinion. The core of the talent show is the stage. They may be eliminated in the middle of the fourth public performance, so it is better to aim for a small goal first.
"I understand. There is an empty practice room on the second floor. After lunch, we can go there for a trial shoot." Su Zhenrun agreed wholeheartedly. Only by performing well and showing value to the outside world can the probability of being voted out be reduced.
"Yeah, no problem. If you have any ideas during practice that are not easy to say in front of the camera, just say them here." An Zhuxuan nodded. They have their own rhythm and cannot be led astray by the next group.
After everyone decided on the action plan, they quickened their pace, which had been deliberately slowing down. Autumn was about to pass, and the early morning night was chilly. When the breeze blew, people shivered all over.
The plan was clear, and Lu Wei felt that his teammates had different energy and spirit when they woke up in the morning, and their condition was much better than yesterday.
The effect of practice is significantly improved.
Originally the five thin ropes were just tied together with a small knot at the end, but now they have been twisted into a braid shape.
It seems that a heart-to-heart talk is still necessary. Due to the competition system and being in the same practice room with competitors, everyone in the fourth public performance is inevitably affected. At this time, everyone needs to be open and honest, and make chicken soup for each other and give each other a shot of encouragement.
"You guys must have practiced a lot, right? Very good." At the end of the class, the dance teacher specially praised the contestants from both groups.
She vaguely saw some of Lu Wei's aura today, which was much stronger than yesterday. This showed that there was nothing wrong with his condition, but he was just accumulating experience like leveling up and fighting monsters.
Fortunately, she packaged her words and did not express her doubts directly, otherwise she might be used as a tool to be slapped in the face by the program crew later.
"Thank you for your hard work." Everyone bowed at the same time and bid her farewell.
After the teacher left, An Zhuxuan turned his neck towards his teammates and led the way out of the practice room, while Lu Wei and others followed slowly.
This made Jiang Yilin, who was standing next to her and whose brain was not functioning well due to lack of rest, even more confused. She didn't know whether they had given up on themselves or were too confident.
Can't analyze anything.
etc......
Why was her mind so slow? What was the other team's progress like? She couldn't quite remember. Could she have exhausted herself?
Jiang Yilin, who suddenly realized this, quickly said, "Let's go back and take a nap first, and continue in the afternoon."
Four days of practice in total, and two and a half days of laying the groundwork for the plot, is more than enough no matter how you calculate it. Don't let your hard work go to waste in the end, and let the next group pick up the slack, that would really make people laugh.
"Will it be..." Not very good. Shen Yiqing didn't want to leave. This was totally unrelated. She had barely covered herself with a blanket and slept in the practice room during the second and third public performances.
"Everyone has worked hard these past two days... We have already..." Jiang Yilin knew what Shen Yiqiong meant, and said a lot of smooth talk to smooth things over. After completing the story line, he took the team away.
Meanwhile, Lu Wei and her teammates were in the empty practice room, recording a performance video. They were already short one person, and needed someone to hold an iPad to act as the camera, so they were inexplicably flustered at the beginning of the recording.
Fortunately, from the first to the fourth public performance, everyone's performance experience has increased rapidly, and their ability to adjust themselves is very high. As long as we treat the performance of four people as six people, we can switch the camera position frequently to avoid ineffective parts.
"Cairong, your expression is too tense, relax a little. Yufei, Zhenrun, don't be so rigid in your movements. Xiaowei, you can express your emotions a little more." An Zhuxuan held up the iPad so that everyone could see the screen.
"Okay." Everyone knew what was right and wrong and kept the problem in mind.
The music started, and everyone recorded it again and again. Because of the style of the song, Lu Wei put a lot of effort into managing his facial expressions, no longer relying solely on emotions.
Instead, she found the most appropriate look and expression at each moment, then captured it, repeatedly examining the details. She even checked the number of seconds it took for her to lower her head.
This model is definitely not suitable for continuous performances on the stage, but it is suitable for recording videos. After all, this kind of recording lacks the appeal of live performances, so she needs to make up for it in another form.
When it comes to releasing emotions, Lu Wei holds them back for a while and then releases them. When he is working on the expression, he puts away the enhanced buff, and when he is working on the overall look, he releases it.
The fact that An Ju-hyun and the others made it to the fourth public performance and squeezed into the middle circle was not just luck, but also due to their skills. The mistakes made in the first round did not appear in the second round at all, like a human error book.
The visible progress has given everyone room to release their impetuous emotions, and the level of trust in each other has continued to increase with repeated practice.
The sense of security that there is someone behind you is the fundamental reason why everyone is getting better and better.
In this way, the two groups practiced according to their own methods until the day of the fourth public performance. It was only then that Jiang Yilin found time to join in and practice with Lu Wei and the others.
You don’t know until you practice, and you’ll be surprised when you do.
Jiang Yilin clearly felt that the team led by An Zhuxuan had a stronger sense of cohesion than her own team. Even her joining in did not seem out of place. She shifted her eyes from one person to another, and felt that each one had improved significantly.
Isn't this the end?
Lu Wei noticed Jiang Yilin's absent-mindedness and shook her head inwardly. Even if there were gaps, it wouldn't work. The degree of coordination was crucial. Unless Jiang Yilin stayed with them the entire day and abandoned her own team, this problem would remain a persistent issue.
Otherwise, ask the program team if there are any other options.
Why not make some changes while there is still some time?
Kong Yufei felt an inexplicable anger rising in her heart. She had finally met normal teammates, but her current team fell apart at the second opportunity.
There is an obvious awkward point at the moment, which makes it difficult to record a perfect performance video.
As soon as the music stopped, Jiang Yilin spoke up, taking the lead: "I'm sorry, I've been busy the past two days and only practiced with you today. I'm sorry I held you back."
“..........”
Everyone was silent. It would have been fine if they hadn't said that, but once they did, they had a bad feeling. They were all dancing the same dance, and perhaps in the eyes of some, as long as the parts were the same, any permutation within the team would be fine.
Seeing that his teammates were silent, Lu Wei spoke up and said, "Captain Jiang Yilin's efforts are evident to everyone."
"Yes, everyone tried their best." An Zhuxuan came back to his senses and quickly agreed.
"Let's continue. Captain Jiang is excellent." Su Zhenrun praised Jiang Yilin.
"Go on." Kong Yufei suppressed her discomfort and agreed for the sake of the recording effect.
They don't care about apologies or anything like that. Everyone has their own considerations, which is understandable. Instead of wasting time on nonsense, it's better to spend time getting along.
They only have one day to waste.
The third public performance will be aired in a few hours.
