Chapter 328 - Carelessness
The meeting was supposed to be at six o'clock, but at five in the morning, when the sky was still gray, Shen Yun, Sun Youlin, and Bai Wanqiu were already waiting at the bottom of Tianrui Building.
At this hour, even the breakfast vendors aren't as diligent as these three.
Fortunately, Bai Wanqiu had prepared some pastries before leaving home. The three of them squatted by the stairwell, eating and chatting, just like hardworking migrant workers. At this moment, they had no trace of the demeanor of top celebrities.
When Lin Rui arrived at the company, Sun Youlin immediately ran up to him and tried to gain sympathy.
"Squatting on the stairwell?"
Lin Rui was speechless, and pointed to the security room not far away as if he were showing concern for someone with intellectual disabilities: "Can't you ask the security guard to open the door for you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun and Bai Wanqiu, who had originally intended to join in the sob story, both stopped in their tracks. Then, the two women began pointing at the flowerbed not far away, as if they were studying which flower was growing well and which flower was more vibrant.
Ten minutes later, Lin Rui casually pulled out three sheet music from his desk drawer.
Instead of distributing it immediately, he calmly asked, "Is there no problem with today's semi-finals?"
"no problem."
"We will definitely make it to the knockout stage."
"I am confident."
The three spoke with great conviction, but their eyes kept glancing at the three sheet music that Lin Rui was holding.
"The three songs you chose are all pretty good. I heard you sing them last night. I'll point out some flaws later. As long as you make some adjustments, you should have no problem making it into the elimination rounds."
After a pause, Lin Rui continued, "I know the pressure in the popular group is immense. When I got back last night, I thought about it and realized that even if there are some gaps between you and the other contestants, the gaps aren't actually that big."
"If I'm in better form, I might even outperform them in the performance."
"Of course, you are currently lacking in attention, which will have a significant impact on your confidence."
Shen Yun, Sun Youlin, and Bai Wanqiu all wore bitter smiles.
Yesterday's two preliminary rounds saw a constant stream of applause and cheers when contestants from outside the region took the stage, but when it was the turn of the local contestants, while there was some applause and cheers, it was pitifully little.
Although there were no boos, some disruptive actions still affected them somewhat.
As Lin Rui said, this will put pressure on them over time, causing them to lose confidence and seriously affecting their performance.
"Xiao Rui, is there a solution?"
Shen Yun pressed for an answer.
Bai Wanqiu is not even worth comparing to; she's only a second-tier celebrity.
But Sun Youlin, who gradually closed the gap with her before the new year, is now a proper third-tier celebrity, while she is still stuck at the level of a diva.
Although the title of "Queen of Pop" is already something most artists envy and are jealous of, having it displayed on the cultural wall makes it even more of a dream come true.
But times have changed!
In this day and age, what does a superstar count for?
Besides, having reached this position, she has bigger goals. You can call it ambition or ideals, but if a person has no pursuit, isn't he no different from a salted fish?
Therefore, Shen Yun cherishes this opportunity. She doesn't want to be eliminated; she wants to go further!
"have."
Lin Rui saw determination in Shen Yun's eyes, then looked at Sun Youlin and Bai Wanqiu: "If we lack fame, then let's build a reputation!"
"And how to quickly gain fame is through performance on stage, leaving an indelible impression on the audience."
After a pause, Lin Rui spread out the three sheet music sheets in his hand: "The premise is that you have the first key to open this door."
Bai Wanqiu was the first to step forward, picked up the sheet music in her direction, and took a closer look.
——"My Heart Will Go On"
Seeing Bai Wanqiu's actions, Sun Youlin and Shen Yun no longer held back and picked up their respective sheet music.
After picking up the sheet music, Sun Youlin didn't rush to look at it. Instead, he thanked Lin Rui before glancing at the song title.
—That Girl
