Chapter 173 Final Preparation 5.0
After the teams were divided, guest host Lee Jae-hyun officially left the stage. Lu Wei and her teammates paused to listen to the finals' details. Including today, they still had 13 days to prepare.
It sounds like this is plenty of time, much more than the week in the previous performance. In fact, in addition to the performance repertoire they just selected, they also need to complete two extra songs.
A chorus similar to the New Year's Eve Gala, a theme song similar to previous 101. The production team, who likes to make things more interesting, did not delete this original essence, but condensed it into the finals.
Of course, there is no 3-day assessment.
How long you practice depends entirely on your personal preference.
Lu Wei added and subtracted the numbers in his mind and came up with the answer: Wolf Extinction. Practicing takes time, rehearsals take time, recording audio takes time, and filming all sorts of other business needs takes time.
Damn it... I have to stay awake all night again.
It is impossible to rest.
It's impossible to stay in the show for so long and then present a stage that is even worse than the first and second public performances.
If he doesn't get ridiculed, then there's something wrong.
Holding the newly acquired lyrics sheet with the parts already divided, and listening to the familiar melody played by the staff, Lu Wei's mouth twitched twice.
Isn't this the morning march, the one played over the dormitory speakers at a fixed time every day? There's a sense of connection, but not much.
After the staff member finished explaining, they turned to the contestants in front and said, "Okay, the specific course schedule has been sent to you. Does anyone have any other questions?"
Understanding the implication of the words "dismiss", everyone politely replied, "No, thank you teachers for your hard work."
The title of "fully automatic obscurity" is well deserved. After being tossed around several times, they have already made detailed plans for the three songs in their minds based on their personal situations and priorities.
Under the cover of night, Lu Wei and his teammates did not go to the dormitory to rest, but went to the old practice room with a new label on it with a clear purpose and tacit understanding.
The theme song is taught by a dedicated instructor, while the farewell song is performed solely in standing position. The two tracks, "The Way Back" and "The Other Shore," are different and require the contestants to choreograph their own dances. The final result depends entirely on the team members' performance.
When it comes to saving money, we have to look at the chaos among the groups.
Pushing open the door of the practice room, everyone looked at each other and sat on the floor in the order in which they were currently standing, forming a semicircle.
At this stage, even if you don't know every team member completely, it's no problem to know 3, 4, or 5 people. What's more, most of the players have worked with each other before. Even if they haven't worked together, they will see each other every day in the dormitory building or the practice building.
There is more or less tacit understanding.
Lu Wei looked around. She had no intention of taking control of the situation or becoming the captain. The reason did not need to be analyzed in depth. It was very simple: her strength was too weak.
She really doesn't know how to choreography or anything like that.
[Source] Among the ten people, including her, there are many reliable people. It just depends on who has the idea. If it's really not feasible, we can discuss it and she can take it. It's not a very complicated thing, much easier than choosing the music and parts.
As for the chaotic duo and the plummeting squad, they probably won't make a scene in the finals, but there will definitely be some fun.
Jin Youli looked at Lu Wei and then at the others. The added value of being the captain now was too small. For her personally, it was a losing deal and not worth the loss.
But if the top-ranked players don't step up, the rest of the team will likely be limited. There are a lot of potential captains next door, so we'll have to wait and see.
Everyone's eyes wandered around, and although they couldn't figure out what others were thinking, they did understand a little bit about Lu Wei and Jin Youli's thoughts.
If you don’t take the initiative, it means you don’t want to take the position.
In that case, they have to take action.
After waiting for a moment to give his teammates some time to think, Lu Wei sensibly threw out the question: "Should we choose a captain first?"
"Yes, everyone can recommend themselves or recommend each other." Jin Youli continued and gave two options.
Hearing this, the already undecided contestants became even more hesitant. Everyone's eyes swiveled around, glancing at each other.
You have to know that there is a huge difference between self-recommendation and recommendation. The show is already very popular, and there are a lot of analysis posts. They are very careful about their reputation and are not very willing to stab themselves in the chest at the last minute.
Lu Wei glanced at Jin Youli and seriously suspected that she had someone she wanted to recommend, otherwise she would not complicate a simple matter.
Jin Youli smiled and found a way out for herself. "Contestant Su Zhenyun's dancing skills are very good. I would like to recommend her. I wonder if Contestant Su Zhenyun is willing to do so?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Wei instantly thought of San Gong's Galaxy Battleship, which was making up for the original incident.
enmmm.......
She is so good at calculating. Su Zhenrun, who is ranked 19th, needs exposure more than anyone else. She will not refuse and can achieve a mutually beneficial goal.
It’s high, really high.
The contestants, realizing this at the same time, turned their attention to the recommended candidate. They weren't fools. Instead of choosing a mid-ranked player as captain, they'd rather choose one at the bottom.
Su Zhenrun lowered her posture and said, "Thank you. I don't have much experience. I only served as the captain during the second public performance. If you need me, I will do my best to do my best."
"It's okay. If there's any problem, we'll bear it together~~~" Sun Congli continued, trying to make herself feel more present.
The pressure from her teammates was too strong. If she didn't take advantage of the opportunity, she would have to be a talking mute throughout the entire show.
"I also think contestant Su Zhenrun is very good!" Liu Shanmei helped carry a sedan chair. After taking a closer look at the contestants around her, she realized that only the three of them were unknown. If they didn't help each other, they would not survive more than two episodes.
With these two people laying the groundwork, no one can remain silent, regardless of whether others have different opinions or not.
But... Kong Yufei, Li Enxing, Gao Wenyan, Shen Baola, and others are already controversial, and they act as checks and balances against each other. Asking them to recommend each other would be more satisfying than just finding a piece of tofu to clash with.
As the recommender, Jin Youli could not interfere with the process. She could only sit there quietly and watch the situation develop.
Seeing this, Lu Wei sighed inwardly and acted as an inquirer again, looking at his teammates on both sides and asking, "Is there anyone else who wants to take on the captaincy?"
After thinking for a moment and considering the pros and cons, everyone shook their heads when their eyes met Lu Wei's.
There's no other way. The relationships within the team are too complicated. Finding someone who has nothing to do with it is actually a good thing. With Kim Yoo-ri's support, the others won't dare to make trouble.
"Okay, those who agree that contestant Su Zhenrun should serve as captain can raise their hands to vote." After Lu Wei finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand.
Everyone, having already reached a conclusion, stretched out their arms and raised their wrists without even glancing at each other. Kong Yufei and Li Enxing wanted Lu Wei to take the position, but since he had no intention, it was useless to try.
Forced recommendation may affect the relationship between the two.
It’s better to go with the flow.
Lu Wei continued to turn his head, and after seeing the voting results, he simply gave it a try and said in a raised voice, "Congratulations to contestant Su Zhenrun for being appointed captain!!"
Applause broke out, the matter was settled, and everyone felt much less tense.
Kim Yoo-ri helped Su Jung-yoon put on the label and said softly, "Keep going."
He has a firm grasp on the audience's favorability.
Su Zhenrun reciprocated with a polite, "Thank you."
She is unlucky, but not stupid.
In the competitive program, there is no help without reason. She can thank Kim Yoo-ri and have a better relationship with her, but she cannot be completely devoted and grateful, lose her own thinking, and become a pawn and cannon fodder in the hands of others.
In addition, after becoming the captain, she needs to take care of everyone, not just one person. She cannot get close to anyone in the team and must be responsible for the team.
As she ranks last in the team, she has no right to act willfully or pretentiously.
Su Zhenrun took the position and went through the process: "Let's start choreography now. Those who have relevant experience can raise their hands to indicate."
Upon hearing the inquiry, Kim Yoo-ri, Kong Ok-bi, Lee Eun-byul, Ko Moon-yeon, Yoo Sun-mi, Shim Bo-ra, and Jo Min-hee raised their arms without hesitation, expressing confidence in their choreography abilities.
The only two people who didn't raise their hands were Lu Wei and Sun Congli. One really didn't know how, and the other didn't want to show off her skills.
Seeing this, Sun Congli felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, she was just not very good at it. She could still make up a short paragraph.
Lu Wei is very self-aware, and the audience also knows what's wrong with her, so she remains the same, quietly serving as a background board and playing a decorative role.
There's no way around it. Dancing isn't something that can be mastered overnight. Just because she can dance a finished dance doesn't necessarily mean she can create something independently.
Su Zhenrun glanced around, naturally skipping Lu Wei and Sun Congli, and not doing the tea ceremony mentioned. She didn't live just for today, so she couldn't do something disgusting.
"Okay, then let's edit it separately. Each person will be responsible for a small section. Finally, we will screen it and determine the best version, and then extend it further." Su Zhenrun distributed the tasks and spread the work to everyone.
As for the two free people, they can do anything as long as they don't go back.
