Chapter 96
After receiving the sheet music, Qin Wei gathered the female artists assigned to this song and went to another vacant practice room.
Although most of them didn't want to participate in singing and dancing for this song, they had no choice but to reluctantly follow Qin Wei to the new practice room.
Their morale was low...
Qin Wei didn't rush to cheer them up but instead projected the music video of this song onto the TV. They all sat on the floor and watched it twice in a row.
For Qin Wei, after watching a new song like this twice in a row, she would usually remember half of it. This song was no exception. She pressed the pause button and said to the other six people, "Now that everyone has some understanding of this song, shall we divide the lyrics?"
"I can't sing English songs at all. It's meaningless for me to divide any line," complained a girl next to Sun Tiantian. Looking at the sheet music filled with musical notations and English letters, she sighed, "To me, the contents on this paper are like scripture."
The girl who spoke was Yao Ying, Qin Wei's other roommate.
"It's the same for me. Why can't I be chosen for 'Crown'? That song is so popular and explosive, I would have already known how to sing it without learning. But our song... I can't even understand it," Li Ruyi, who was sitting next to Yao Ying, chimed in. But before she could finish her sentence, Sun Tiantian gently nudged her with her elbow, signaling her to stop talking.
Li Ruyi immediately understood and sat up straight, carefully looking at Qin Wei. "I didn't mean that I didn't want to be in your group... I just..."
"I know," Qin Wei said. She didn't want to make things difficult for them. They were already under a lot of training pressure, and everyone naturally wanted to reduce their burden while maximizing their benefits.
If it were her, she would think the same way.
"Everyone knows the advantages of 'Crown,' but have you considered the disadvantages of choosing it?" After Qin Wei finished speaking, they all shook their heads.
How could the most popular song at the moment have any disadvantages?
Qin Wei looked at their puzzled expressions and smiled with satisfaction. "Because 'Crown' is so popular, there are many cover versions. When you perform on stage, the audience will unconsciously compare your performance with other high-quality versions.
We are all actors in this group, and we should know how much pressure we have to bear when acting in remakes, right?
Stage performances are the same. Unless you dance exceptionally well on stage, it's difficult to surpass others.
It's different for niche songs and dances. Firstly, there are fewer people covering them, and secondly, not many have seen the original version. If your performance on stage is good, it's considered good. If it's not good, it's considered not good, without being overshadowed by previous works."
Yao Ying and Sun Tiantian were somewhat moved. Qin Wei's words seemed to make sense...
"Oh, by the way, Yan Qingzi, the teacher, has also covered 'Crown.' It had millions of views on a certain platform. If you have confidence in surpassing her, you can also try to convince Lin Qiqi..." Qin Wei's voice just fell, and everyone shook their heads simultaneously.
"Actually, this song is pretty good. Shall we listen to it again? Right, Weiwei..."
...
With just a few simple sentences, they finally stopped complaining. It wasn't all because of what Qin Wei said. They knew they had no choice. Complaining was just a result of feeling unfair. But after Qin Wei comforted them for a few sentences, they accepted reality.
"Teacher will only come to teach the moves tomorrow, so let's take this time to familiarize ourselves," said Qin Wei, observing her companions' lack of complaints. She pressed the play button and watched the video while learning the moves.
After watching it twice before, Qin Wei had memorized most of the moves by following along with the video.
Everyone was amazed. They didn't expect Qin Wei to learn the moves so quickly!
"Let's practice together!"
Qin Wei sighed.
"It's not enough to just memorize the moves; the key is to know how to dance. I don't have a dance foundation. By the way, I've noticed that Yao Ying and Ru Yi are both good dancers. How about you guys teach everyone together?"
They couldn't refuse, so they agreed.
After practicing for a few hours, everyone had memorized the moves, and they had a general idea of the melody of the song. Considering Qin Wei wasn't feeling well today, they decided to return to the dormitory early.
Qin Wei quickly took a shower and lay down on her bed. Low blood sugar was unpleasant, and it seemed like she couldn't reduce the amount of her meals. The slim figure management of female celebrities, with their minimal eating, was simply not suitable for her! Skipping one meal made her dizzy. In the future, she not only needed to eat more but also exercise more. Health was the most important thing!
The living room was still broadcasting. In the past few days, there weren't as many viewers as on the first day. Most of the time, they were in the practice room, leaving the villa empty. Even in the live broadcast, there wasn't much to see.
The live directing team felt that this couldn't continue. During the planning phase, the executive producer and station manager had said that live and recorded broadcasts should not hinder each other. However, the recorded broadcast had just aired another episode today, and the click-through rate was already good, while their live broadcast remained quiet.
If this continued, their live broadcast would silently come to an end...
"We need to have a meeting. We must come up with ways to increase the popularity of each live broadcast room today!"
After finishing her personal hygiene routine, Sun Tiantian went downstairs to the kitchen to get some sparkling water from the refrigerator. As she passed by the living room, she glanced at the screen and indeed, there were only a few people watching.
Just as she was about to leave, the barrage on the screen caught her attention.
[Sister, don't leave!]
Sun Tiantian was taken aback and read the barrage messages floating across the screen:
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Barrage: [Finally, someone noticed us, the live-streaming fans, crying]
[What about the daily life of the comedian?]
[Yeah, Qin Wei, Qin Wei, Qin Wei appeared!]
The screen was filled with mentions of "Qin Wei."
Sun Tiantian asked again:
"Are you all here to see Wei Wei?"
The barrage was filled with [Yes].
Sun Tiantian looked regretful:
"She's upstairs lying down... not feeling too well today..."
After saying that, she waved at the camera,
"I'm going upstairs too!"
The scene in the F-class villa happened to be seen by the live directing team.
The director slapped his forehead. How could he forget? The entire production team fought to keep Qin Wei on the show because she was the key to the show's popularity!
The recorded broadcast team had fully utilized Qin Wei's role behind the scenes, but they had not thought of it in the live broadcast team?
The director said to his assistant:
"Go and ask Qin Wei to come downstairs and chat with the viewers in the live broadcast room!"
"Then... Director, should we continue with this meeting?"
"Of course, we need to discuss how to fully utilize the abilities of all our key influencers..."
Sun Tiantian returned to her bedroom and unscrewed the cap of her sparkling water. Just as she was about to pour it into her cup, she suddenly heard the sound of a broadcast coming from the villa.
The sudden noise startled her, causing her to shake and spill the sparkling water all over her pants.
At the same time, it also woke up Qin Wei, who had just fallen asleep.
"Qin Wei, the audience is calling for you to come downstairs and chat!"
"Repeat, Qin Wei, the audience is calling for you to come downstairs and chat..."
"Damn it..."
Reluctantly, Qin Wei sat up and struggled for a while before opening her eyes, only to see Sun Tiantian with wet pants.
"What? Did the broadcast scare you and make you pee yourself?"
Sun Tiantian: "..."
Qin Wei opened the bedroom door and was immediately grabbed and dragged downstairs by the program's staff waiting for her at the door. It happened so suddenly that she was taken to the live broadcasting area in her pajamas.
As soon as she appeared, the number of people in the live room started to skyrocket, and the barrage became active, flooding the screen:
"Qin Wei, what the hell are you wearing???"
