Chapter 83 The performance begins, Jiang Lingsi is absent
After the lyrics of the theme song were decided, the contestants began intensive training.
In the morning, all contestants performed the theme song chorus and simple movement exercises together, practicing over and over again in front of the camera lens.
It wasn’t until the rehearsal that Xi Ruan understood why they were fighting so fiercely. It turned out that the important parts all had individual shots, and their standing positions were completely different.
She is at or near the C position almost the whole time, which is the first place the audience can see.
Starting in the afternoon is training on group collaboration repertoire.
Each group has a separate practice room. The music instructor will first test each person's singing skills and then provide guidance separately.
After dinner, it is free practice time for personal song selection.
Each contestant has a KTV singing practice room provided by the sponsor. It can only accommodate two people at most and is very soundproof. Contestants can choose to perform any song in it as a personal repertoire.
Currently, the selection of personal repertoire and the performance of each contestant are not public. The audience can only see the contestants entering the singing practice room, and the rest are unknown.
It is worth mentioning that on the first day of training, in order to express himself, Liu Yue often wandered around the practice rooms of various groups, giving some suggestions to the players from time to time, or giving them some delicious food.
After entering the practice room of Xi Ruan's group, she took out the original singing style and gave serious and sharp instructions to each member.
“This player, your pitch just now is not enough, you need to raise it a little higher, and...”
“This player, you should listen to the song more carefully and pay attention to the details... ”
She crossed her arms and talked.
However, when her eyes met Xi Ruan's, she really didn't know how to highlight her superiority, and she was afraid that she would be blackmailed by her nonsense, so she could only force herself to smile.
"Xi Ruan's performance is still very good." Liu Yue praised her naturally, but actually wanted to scratch Xi Ruan's face.
Xi Ruan thanked Liu Yue humbly, then raised a harmless smile and winked, "Can Teacher Liu Yue demonstrate it in person? I think everyone still doesn't understand. , it’s just that we don’t understand it well with the verbal instructions. If you demonstrate it, it will be clear to everyone.”
The other contestants immediately nodded in agreement and said one by one, “Yes, Teacher Liu Yue, sing for us. Wait, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Yes, please!”
"Can you sing the part that I was lacking just now?"
The contestants said this with contempt and gloating in their hearts.
Who in the industry doesn’t know that Liu Yue is a recording studio singer, and her singing relies entirely on post-production tuning and lip-synching. She still has the nerve to point at them, which is simply disgusting to them.
Looking at their innocent and curious eyes, Liu Yue didn't know whether they did it on purpose or not.
In the end, she could only put all the blame on Xi Ruan, who took the lead.
It’s all her fault! If she hadn't been talking nonsense, how could she have fallen into such a difficult situation!
"I'm sorry, my throat is not feeling well today, so I can't demonstrate. I'll wait until I have the opportunity in the future." Liu Yue smiled and left in a hurry after leaving these words.
Some netizens laughed when they saw it.
[She ran away as soon as I asked her to sing. She still knew how much she weighed, lip-syncing to the little princess~]
[The contestants were still naive, why did they ask her for advice? Let her tell you how to find a million-dollar tuner and it’s almost the same hahaha! 】
——
The tense and regular days passed like this day by day.
As time goes by, Xi Ruan has more and more fans.
All kinds of stunning and beautiful pictures are constantly being produced, and every one of them will make your heart beat.
Every day more and more students follow her for morning English reading.
Someone launched a check-in activity on Xi Ruan’s Super Talk to “Practice speaking with Xi Ruan”. Everyone uploaded clips of their own recitations every day, and fans praised and encouraged each other.
Even students with poor foundations, everyone praised, "Dare to speak up is the beginning of progress." The learning atmosphere was particularly intense, and more and more people joined in.
At the same time, the playback volume of Xi Ruan's "Turniton" has grown rapidly. After being spread by various short video bloggers and marketing accounts, it can be listened to in convenience stores, breakfast shops and cafes in the streets and alleys every morning. After listening to her songs, many sleepy migrant workers are used to listening to her songs and then devote themselves to work with full energy.
But to everyone's regret, Xi Ruan has almost never sung a complete song since the first day of participle PK. Even if it is a group song, she only tries her best to cooperate with the chorus. When it comes to her own The solo part is just a bit interesting, and then I won’t sing if I can.
Regarding this point, Xi Ruan gave an explanation in the program. It is because her vocal cords have just recovered and have not yet adapted to the intensity of daily training, so she cannot use her voice frequently. If she uses it excessively, it will be detrimental to the performance. performance that day.
So everyone saw that after Xi Ruan finished the group training every day, he almost only stayed in the singing room for more than ten minutes and then came out.
The rest of the time is reading, doing questions, and memorizing.
Obviously she is boring and boring, but the audience is still scratching their heads to see her, just because she occasionally hums this part when she is taking a break. It is a different song every day, and she seems to hum everything. Look at her mood.
【Woooo! Ruan Ruan is too much! These few words capture my soul every day, but I love hearing them so much! 】
【Help! ! This is the first time I know how careless I am! ! I just set yesterday's humming as my ringtone, and now I want to change it to today's one. Woohoo! 】
【When will the performance be performed? ! Can't wait! ! I really can't wait! ! I want a complete song! I want to see Ruan Ruan on stage! ! 】
【I smiled and said nothing as I had already received the performance ticket, and went to listen to Ruan Ruan live on the weekend~a little bit~】
[The previous one! ! Pay the vote and not be killed! ! 】
【Hand over your tickets! ! Don't make me crawl along the network cable! ! ! 】
So with the thoughts of the general audience and the ardent expectations of fans from all sides, the weekend performance stage has finally arrived!
——
The backstage was a mess at this time. The contestants were either doing their own makeup or asking makeup artists to do their own makeup, looking for foundation, changing lipstick, and there was a lot of noise.
Xi Ruan sat in front of the mirror, looking at the teacher who was putting on makeup for him slowly, and blinked in confusion.
She felt that other teachers were in a hurry when applying make-up to everyone, as if they were rushing to finish the work, while only this make-up artist was doing it slowly and meticulously on her face.
“Aren’t you in a hurry?” Xi Ruan asked.
The makeup artist looked at Xi Ruan in the mirror, admired her newly painted eyebrows, and smiled, "Oh, your little face is so beautiful, I can't bear to let it go."
Xi Ruan: "...and the contestants behind?"
"There are so many people, and I am not the only one who can do the job." The makeup artist understood what Xi Ruan meant.
But she was originally invited by the young master of the Shen family to be specially made up for her. Others were none of her business, but there were so many people backstage that she couldn't reveal this special treatment.
"Oh..." Xi Ruan looked back thoughtfully, thinking that the makeup artists looked very respectful when they saw her just now, guessing that maybe this person was a leader, and he probably didn't need to do that. many.
She followed the makeup artist's instructions and closed her eyes, letting her work on her face.
When the makeup was finally done, Xi Ruan looked in the mirror and was amazed by himself, but before he could do it, he rushed to the dressing room at the call of Sun Jiayin.
"Hurry up! I'll help you put on the vest! You won't have to ruin your makeup!" Sun Jiayin widened her collar and carefully put the vest on Xi Ruan.
The officials didn’t know what they were thinking. They were asked to wear short-sleeved shirts + vests + short skirts to sing the opening song in the summer. Everyone found it too hot, so they had to put on the vests at the end. It would be better if they didn’t cover themselves for a while. No, my shirt is covered in sweat.
Sun Jiayin adjusted the position of the bow for Xi Ruan again, and asked Xi Ruan to turn around. After confirming that there was no problem, she clapped her hands, "Perfect! Our Ruan Ruan is definitely the most beautiful cub in the audience today! Fascinating thousands of viewers! Right Qingye?"
Su Qingye, who had been silent all the time, nodded seriously.
Seeing how exaggerated the two of them were, Xi Ruan couldn't help but smile. His clear deer eyes were as bright as the stars, and he immediately fascinated Sun Jiayin.
"Ohno! Ruan Ruan, don't smile at me like that, I really can't bear it! This place is going to explode!!" Sun Jiayin covered her heart, looking like she was about to faint.
Xi Ruan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, we're going out soon."
She held one by one and led them to the waiting area.
When the wealthy man saw Xi Ruan coming, he put on her earphones and microphone and gave her instructions.
"I will be responsible for your direct shooting in a moment. Two cameras, one for horizontal and vertical shots, one for facial close-up and one for full body. You can just perform normally.
If you see me I’ve given you the green light, so just try to look at me and smile. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at me. We do everything on the premise that it won’t affect your performance, so it’s best. Do you understand?”
Xi Ruan nodded solemnly.
The wealthy man asked her not to be nervous again, and took some water to ask her if she wanted to drink some water to moisten her throat.
Just as Xi Ruan was about to refuse, Shen Jiashu came over with mineral water.
"Drink some water." He unscrewed the bottle cap, inserted the straw into it, and handed it to Xi Ruan, "Don't worry, I checked."
Xi Ruan took it Water, lowered his head and took a sip.
She no longer dared to drink the water handed to her by others.
Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Jiashu, with a bit of expectation in her round eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Did Jiang Lingsi tell you? He is already here. ? ”
Except for Bai's father and sister, only Jiang Lingsi knew exactly how her voice was ruined, and knew that she would not dare to drink the water given by others.
Shen Jiashu looked at the girl's eyes as bright as stars, and saw that she felt sour in her heart because she thought of the indescribable sweet smile on her brother's face.
After two seconds of silence, he shook his head, "He didn't come, so he asked me to bring you water."
Xi Ruan was slightly startled, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he lowered his eyes. Shen Jiashu whispered softly, "He didn't come..."
Shen Jiashu looked at the girl's depressed look, hesitated and told her, "It's not that he doesn't want to come, it's that he was kidnapped by his grandfather two days ago. Locked up."
"Locked up!" Xi Ruan opened his eyes in disbelief. (End of this chapter)
