Chapter 121: I Don’t Think So
Chapter 121
The competition rules did not change significantly. After the class division, each class was assigned three songs again, one with ten people singing and dancing, and the other two were divided into two groups of five to perform respectively.
Group D was assigned the ancient-style song "Hong Zhuang" for the first song.
"An ancient-style song..."
Qin Wei clicked to open the video and listened to it roughly,
"Then it may require classical dance..."
...
After the group meeting ended, the artists on the scene took cars back to the dormitory one after another. Today, everyone went directly to the new residence. Unlike last time, the program team had moved their luggage in advance, but at the same time, which dormitory to live in was not chosen randomly either.
This time, Qin Wei was assigned to a three-person room on the first floor.
Zhao Jun from Yinhuang Entertainment and Sun Tiantian were sharing the dorm with her.
"That's great!"
Sun Tiantian was particularly satisfied with the allocation result. As Qin Wei's roommate, she felt very relaxed living with Qin Wei, and they wouldn't disturb each other.
Qin Wei was also very happy. Class D had already discussed before coming back that the group dance would be divided into groups according to the rooms, five people downstairs and five people upstairs.
Qin Wei's group happened to be Sun Tiantian and the three members from Yinhuang.
This way, the teammates were all those who had cooperated before, saving a lot of time to get used to each other.
"Are all the ladies here? Come out to the living room for a minute!"
The sound of speaking outside the door interrupted Qin Wei's thoughts. She put down what was in her hands and came out to see Li Siyi sitting on the sofa waiting for everyone.
"Teacher Li."
Qin Wei recognized her at a glance. Her performance on stage left a deep impression on Qin Wei. Her dance and singing all reflected her solid foundation. Calling her "Teacher" was well-deserved.
Qin Wei called her, then walked over to shake hands with her:
"Hello Teacher Li, I'm Qin Wei."
Li Siyi smiled and stood up to talk to her:
"Hello, I know you. Your performance at the first public performance was good. Were you originally a dance performer?"
At this time, in the living room, so viewers watching the live broadcast could all see it. The bullet screen comments started to increase——
【You're flattering her, her dance is simple, like a child's dance. Anything more difficult and she would be clueless.】
【Lu Yi also tried very hard, okay? And Far Voyage was a song the program team paid someone to create, with a brisk rhythm to demonstrate youthful vitality, not for children.】
【She can probably be eliminated this time.】
...
Qin Wei could only truthfully answer according to her current situation:
"Teacher, I'm just an ordinary actor. I haven't systematically learned singing and dancing... I just happened to get that dance which wasn't difficult..."
"Oh..."
Li Siyi looked thoughtful,
"Then it was your hard work. I actually think it was not bad. I'm a few years older than you and have some stage experience. Maybe I can help you a little this time through our cooperation. I think highly of you."
At this moment, Qin Wei was a little moved. She hurriedly said,
"Thank you, Teacher Li, I will definitely work hard!"
While they were talking, the others gradually came over too.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one. Qin Wei only then realized that Youyou was actually in the same group as her.
So regarding what happened in the preliminaries... did they really have nothing to do with it...?
Being in the same group as teammates, could she be trusted?
"Senior sister!"
Youyou waved at her. This girl was always very cheerful, sparing no effort to smile at anyone.
Now was no exception.
Really, she didn't know, she was just an ordinary person and didn't know how to fathom human nature.
Complex emotions...
Qin Wei smiled at her and nodded slightly.
Forget it, what grievances were there? She just had to keep some distance from her.
...
The next day, under Li Siyi's organization, everyone watched the "Hong Zhuang" video together.
The original version of this song was "Mulan Ci". The first half had a light and lively atmosphere, aiming to describe a carefree and laughing girl playing around. The second half had a completely opposite scene and atmosphere, with urgent drum beats and a depressing mood, in order to show the cruelty of war and the protagonist's bravery in combat. Overall, it was a distinctive work. If expressed properly, it would be very popular.
No one spoke during it. They just silently sat together and watched the video three times in a row.
The first time was to get a general idea of the work. The second time, Qin Wei focused her attention on the singing and dancing. She couldn't help shaking her head while watching.
The dance moves shown in the video had a very strong classical dance style. Qin Wei had to admit that she had been involved in this aspect too little.
"Weiwei, you also think it's difficult, right..."
Sun Tiantian saw that she didn't have the slightest relaxed expression on her face, and she began to get nervous too. The song was fine, but this dance...
Qin Wei danced much better than her. If even Qin Wei thought it wouldn't work, then wouldn't she be doomed?
"The dance is not simple, but it can be practiced."
Qin Wei said, her eyes still staring at the screen. She bit her lip, hesitant,
"But..."
She stopped short.
But how to express the emotions that the song was trying to convey was a tricky problem.
After all, in just a short dance, portraying a girl going from innocent and ignorant to fighting on the battlefield required precise performance.
The inner mind, the expression, both had to be in place.
She had never learned it. She was just an unemotional dancing machine, reproducing the choreography wasn't a big problem.
But to interpret it from the inside out, to perform it...
It was too difficult...
Li Siyi paused the video. She saw that Qin Wei was lost in thought, but did not ask what Qin Wei was thinking. She just stood up and said,
"It's about time, let's get familiar with the lyrics together first. When the teacher comes later, just learn seriously."
That was true.
Qin Wei pulled herself together and temporarily hid her frustration, and went with the other members to memorize the lyrics.
About ten minutes later, Chen Chen came in. As the music advisor for Group D, she first briefly introduced herself to the new members, and then did not forget to praise Qin Wei:
"You took in everything I said last time, and performed well."
Qin Wei bowed to Chen Chen to express her gratitude.
Getting back on topic, Chen Chen picked up the score and said to everyone:
"The advantage of this song is that the narrative is very strong, so the lyrics are actually easy to memorize.
I've also privately discussed with the dance teacher Matsuno. We both think the dance this time can also be adapted slightly according to the lyrics to make the stage performance more dramatic.
In just five minutes, let the audience feel like they are watching a stage play. I think some of you actors can handle it."
The actors in Class D...
Everyone looked at Qin Wei unconsciously.
Chen Chen got more and more excited as she spoke. After all, their efforts were to better interpret the work. As the music advisor for this group, she also truly looked forward to the stage performance in the second public stage.
"Acting is your strength as actors. Matsuno and I both think that although the main focus is music this time, it allows you to give full play to what you are good at, adding a touch of light to the whole performance!"
Those gazes were scorching. Qin Wei could only force out an embarrassed laugh to conceal her awkwardness, feeling her heart go cold.
Fear what will come, fear what will come, ah!!!
"Huh, Weiwei, why do you look so bad?"
......
There were many actors, but only one female lead.
