Chapter 145 The Fourth Performance 15.0
The recording was over, and the candidates who advanced or were eliminated were all confirmed. Lu Wei stood up and looked down. Seeing the fewer and fewer seats and the increasingly empty pyramid, his lips unconsciously pursed.
The cruelty of the draft is embodied at this moment.
The contestants who had advanced walked down the stairs quickly and gathered in groups of three or four with the contestants who were on good terms with them but could not continue, saying words of comfort and blessings.
Even after experiencing the departure of Yishun, facing the recurrence of Ershun, everyone was still at a loss. They didn't know how to sort out the complicated thoughts, and they didn't know how to accept the fact of being eliminated.
Perhaps time is the best antidote, but it won't help in a short time. We need to wait for the progress bar to load completely before we can dilute the sadness and melancholy.
Although Chi Renying failed to achieve her wish, she was very grateful to her teammates in Group B of Adolescence. Without them, she might not even be able to get here, so she deliberately left the area where her original teammates were and said goodbye to Lu Wei and others one by one.
"Xiao Wei, keep up the good work. I will vote for you." Chi Renying clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture.
"Thank you, I will. Let's work hard together." Lu Wei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and made the same gesture.
Seeing this, the other contestants who had never had any contact with Lu Wei moved over and filled this remote and dark area.
"Come on! Contestant Lu Wei!"
"It's a shame I didn't get to work with you. I hope there will be a chance in the future!"
"We must stride forward! Let everyone see how we, the underdogs, can shine."
"Go Lu Wei! You're really awesome!"
"Thank you." Lu Wei smiled and waved to the contestants passing by, sincerely wishing Chi Renying and every dream chaser a smooth star journey and the fulfillment of their wishes.
Jin Nayan and Park Yunzhi waited for a long time before finding an opportunity to talk alone. But seeing Lu Wei just standing there, attracting everyone's attention, they inexplicably couldn't move their feet.
Lu Wei turned his head and saw the two of them. Instead of walking over, he stood there and nodded slightly at them naturally.
Perhaps this kind of social distance is the most comfortable for both parties.
Jin Nayan and Park Yunzhi were stunned for a moment, and a wave of bitterness welled up in their hearts. It turned out that Lu Wei was not the coward, but them.
Forget it, let it be. Everyone should move forward and not look back. The two of them waved to Lu Wei first, then turned and left the ranking announcement site.
As the number of people in the recording room dwindled and the cameras slowly turned off, the dormitory became quieter than ever.
Restricted by his biological clock, Lu Wei lay down in bed early but couldn't fall asleep. He got up quietly, put on his training clothes and went to the practice building in the night.
Currently, her "night" team has nine members, but only six permanent positions. Three of them will need to be voted out tomorrow. It's hard to guarantee she'll be the one who stays and isn't eliminated.
So while there is still some time, practice other pieces to minimize the risk.
While Lu Weiyi was mentally calculating the remaining number of people in other groups, he zipped up his jacket to the highest position and walked forward against the cold wind. Only when he reached the brightly lit training building did he dispel the chill that surrounded him.
Honestly, there were quite a lot of people here. Given the players' consistent enthusiasm for training since the competition began, she wasn't surprised at all.
Most of the contestants who practiced other teams' performance pieces were from her group, "Night," and Kim Yoo-ri and others' group, "Ragging Fire."
It’s quite a coincidence that there are only 9 players left in both teams.
However, there is one vacancy in [love&love], two vacancy in [a candy], and three vacancy in [see the moon].
Lu Wei thought carefully about the composition of the three teams, and finally practiced the cute style of [A Candy].
According to the internal voting rules of the 101 series, the team with the highest-ranked member has the right to choose teammates first. Gao Wenyan is ranked third in the second order and happens to be in the energetic [love&love] team.
Although Lu Wei didn't know her very well, he could tell that she didn't really want to team up with the other top 9 contestants. To be on the safe side, he decided not to force her.
Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.
Lu Wei walked around and came to an empty practice room. He asked the staff for an iPad and started dancing by himself.
There are a lot of jumping movements, and the expressions required are a bit rich.
From the perspective of facial expression management alone, it is a little more difficult than [night]. This song has to make people feel sweet when watching it. The corners of the mouth cannot be turned down, but must be kept up.
Although Lu Wei doesn't think she has a sweet look and is usually insensitive to this style, she can't say no since she has chosen this line of work.
Go for it!!!
Time was ticking by, Lu Wei was dancing at a snail's pace and constantly making herself laugh. How could she make so many weird expressions? The combination of staring and a fake smile was no different from the scenes that were often criticized in some idol dramas.
She was guilty of watching too many rants and trolls, which had infected her with a deadly virus. She needed a lot of medication to recover.
But I'm still happy, practicing dance alone and simply enjoying the joy of progress, even if the pace is a little slow.
Occasionally, a contestant would pass by, stop for three to five seconds, and then leave. They couldn't tell whether Lu Wei was just playing or really wanted to join another team.
This person's character is really hard to understand.
It was already early morning. Lu Wei drank the last sip of water in the mineral water bottle, turned off the lights, closed the door, put on his coat, and walked out of the practice room.
After a few hours, she had a certain idea of the song "A Candy", so if she really needed to implement plan B, she would not be at a loss.
After washing up again, Lu Wei climbed back into bed in the dark and quickly fell into a sweet dream. She didn't notice that after she left, the other beds that were originally bulging had become shriveled.
The next morning, the contestants from the five teams gathered in the practice rooms of their respective repertoires. They sat cross-legged in a semicircle, waiting for a new round of screening and reorganization.
Lu Wei calmed down his brain and listened quietly to the staff explaining the rules of internal voting.
"Congratulations everyone on advancing. This performance mission is limited to 6 contestants per song, so please vote for the contestant who is most suitable to stay in this song. The contestant you think is most deserving of this song will receive 6 points, and the following points will be 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The 6 contestants with the highest scores will represent the [night] team and participate in the third performance mission."
After the staff explained the rules, they did not let the contestants directly enter the voting room, but reserved some time for them, some for emotional appeals and some for filling in the plot.
For those who have already debuted once and strive to seize every opportunity, the emotional part is basically unnecessary. Everyone has made up their minds long ago and will not be shaken by a few words from others.
Jiang Yilin observed the expressions of his teammates, sighed inwardly, and asked in a softer voice, "Does anyone have anything to say, or any other thoughts on this?"
Lu Wei didn't answer. She had nothing to say, and no ideas. She knew there were a thousand ways to stay in the team, like exchanging tickets, signing up for a group, or even being exclusive, but she didn't want to do that.
This was necessary, but she didn't want to.
If she is voted out, it means that in the minds of other members, she is not the most suitable candidate and is not the person they want to be their teammate.
Then there is no need to worry about it, and you can go to the new team without any burden.
The practice room version of the video has been recorded. Lu Wei doesn’t feel that his time has been wasted. It’s also nice to be able to experience different songs.
"I want to stay, if possible." Su Zhenrun looked at her teammates and said sincerely. She didn't dare to gamble on her luck, or on what team she would end up in. Her luck was bad enough.
I know this trick won't work, but I still have to try it.
"I'm very happy to be teammates with you all. It would be great if we could stand on the stage together." Shen Yiqiong followed closely behind.
The two spoke frankly, disrupting a certain balance and making the atmosphere even more tense. Either all the emotional appeals were used, or none were used, otherwise no one would be left out of the trial.
What everyone is struggling with now is that once the lower circle is used, it is difficult to follow the upper circle, and ranking is sometimes a limitation.
Lu Wei shook his head in his heart. No matter who was eliminated, the people who stayed would always be analyzed by those who were just watching for fun.
It's useless to say more or less.
As the team leader, Jiang Yilin couldn't just ignore it. She took a deep breath and turned the circle around. "Well, we understand. We've been practicing for so long, and now it's just the last step. Everyone wants to stay."
"Yes, everyone just needs to vote according to what is in their mind and keep the right people. Don't have too many concerns." An Zhuxuan nodded in agreement.
As the last words came out, the air became quiet again.
It wasn't that Han Shuying didn't want to shed a few crocodile tears, but her plummeting rankings didn't allow her to act pretentiously. Qiao Zhizhi knew she was likely out, so she didn't bother to ruin her image by spouting useless nonsense.
Seeing that they could only gather so much material and couldn't squeeze any more show effects out of the contestants, the staff said helplessly, "Please, everyone, please enter the recording room one by one to vote according to the ranking order released in the second round."
