Chapter 111

Lights, music. Head down, raise your right hand, look up, thrust your hips, bend down.

The movements were smooth, with a hint of nonchalance in her eyes, everything was fine.

Live comments -

"Wow! Qin Wei's performance has exceeded my imagination! She dances really well!"

"Jazz dance, didn't she also have to dance jazz during the preliminaries? I wonder why she chose to play the erhu, at that time many people thought she wouldn't be able to dance it, so she didn't dance."

"I don't know, but at that time she chose 'River', which clashed with Liu Xin's song, the two of them didn't get along very well... But I don't know! Don't spread rumors!"

"Hmm...the more I think about it the more scared I get!"

"Look at what Yao Ying is doing?!"

The dance was still going on, Qin Wei walked to the front as part of the choreography, but she took off her in-ear monitors while dancing.

She took off both of them!

"What's going on?"

"Just now during the dance she pointed at her in-ear, looks like there was a problem."

"No way? Wasn't that part of the choreography? It looked very natural, didn't seem out of place!"

"And she's still so calm about it now?"

Qin Wei's in-ear monitors did malfunction during the performance. She tried to alert the staff several times but the problem wasn't fixed.

But stopping mid-performance was a big no-no, Qin Wei could only keep up with everyone else.

As she moved to the front of the stage, a solo part was coming up next.

Left with no choice, she followed the beats from her training, silently counting in her head and dancing according to the rhythm in her memory.

Might as well take these useless things off first.

So pissed off!

But she couldn't show it.

Live comments -

"In-ear malfunction is considered a stage accident. If Qin Wei fails because of this, it's the production team's fault."

"The venue is too big, there's a delay for the performers hearing the music from the speakers, you have to be able to sing and dance it yourself or you're toast."

"Qin Jie is amazing!! She really sang and danced it live!!"

"The key is she didn't run off stage! Her dancing was on beat and the moves were clean!" "Yao Ying has really put in the work!! This old lady is shedding touched tears..."

Most of the other performers backstage also witnessed this scene. Despite the mishap, not only was Qin Wei unaffected, she kept her cool like an old dog. Her expression didn't change at all, and on top of that her singing and dancing was unexpectedly good!!

Some performers already exclaimed:

"My god, she can still sing and dance like this without in-ears, how well must she have practiced this song..."

"No natural talent, just relentless practice!"

"Pretty good, but I think it's mainly because this song isn't that hard..."

Qiao Sixiao stood silently watching to the side, not saying anything regardless of their discussion. When she saw Qin Wei take off her in-ears, Qiao also broke into a cold sweat for her. But seeing Qin Wei's nonchalant expression, not even changing her gaze, Qiao knew everything would be stable from there on.

As expected from her rival.

But what's with this girl... no longer vicious and aggressive, her whole vibe has turned soft and gentle, yet her skills have improved markedly...

Maybe social beatdowns really can change someone?

Who knows.

...

The music ended, flawless curtain call!

Applause rang out once again, everyone's hands were going to fall off tonight.

But it was worth it!

Every performance tonight was amazing!

Live comments -

"I'm tearing up sisters, I think I'm losing it, why do I feel like Yao Ying has a bright future ahead *sob* *sob*"

"Me too! Our girl has been through so much!"

......

Yang Xiao came on stage:

"Good job girls, go get some rest first, we have invited tonight's guest to perform for us!"

Only after coming off stage did Qin Wei feel the weight lift off her chest. Sun Tiantian cried excitedly with tears streaming down her face:

"I've been dreaming about practicing dance these past few days, when I wake up I find myself making dance moves. I didn't think I could actually dance it out!"

After saying that, she hugged Yao Ying bawling.

Qin Wei also felt like crying, thank goodness, thank goodness she prepared enough to deal with accidents on stage. She had made contingency plans beforehand -

wrong choreography, costume malfunctions, in-ear problems were all included.

Unexpected things can always happen on stage, the ability to handle things in the moment is crucial. Usually working hard plus keeping calm when problems arise, everything will work out.

Qin Wei's eyes grew hot, she looked up at the stage where a man was standing.

Oh it really is Shen Kai. He stood on stage and sang the theme song from his movie "Frontline" which shared the same name.

Cheers rang out from below, some performers backstage also seemed very excited, saying things like:

"Movie star Shen!"

"He's already so handsome just standing there! Didn't expect his singing to be so nice too!"

"He's released albums before! Aside from acting, Shen's singing is also great, it's just that he usually focuses more on performing, so he has fewer music works."

"Didn't think he would come..."

Everyone chattered away, while Qin Wei listened quietly.

After the song finished, Yang Xiao returned on stage and chatted briefly with Shen Kai before saying:

"Let's welcome all the girls back on stage, the voting channels have closed and we are tallying up the results, please be patient and wait.

In the meantime, let's chat with Brother Kai and all the girls!"

Qin Wei followed everyone back on stage, standing in groups based on their preliminary round rankings.

Lined up in order, the 1st placer from preliminaries stood beside Yang Xiao and Shen Kai, while the last placer stood at the far edge.

"First let me ask the girls, how was Brother Kai's singing?"

The audience below all yelled "So good!"

The production team started stirring up trouble, Yang Xiao said:

"Quite a few girls have worked with Brother Kai before, let's randomly select one to get her opinion...

Miss Qin Wei, what do you think?"

After all that singing and dancing, Qin Wei was just waiting for results off on the side when she suddenly heard her name called, still feeling a bit lost.

Yang Xiao wanted to watch the drama unfold and beckoned Qin Wei:

"Miss could you come over here, so everyone can see you."

Qin Wei walked over and quietly stood next to Qiao Sixiao.

So the picture became -

Qin Wei, Qiao Sixiao, Yang Xiao, Shen Kai.

Live comments -

"Teacher Yang, are you ok?"

"Is this a battlefield? Teacher Yang, are you having trouble breathing?"

"Qiao Qiao is looking at Sister Qin weird..."

"The atmosphere is off..."

"Damn! I'm yelling damn!"

"The production team is clearly stirring up trouble! Don't put them in the same frame! I want Sister Qin's solo beauty!"

"Refuse the production team's malicious scheming! My sister is on the rise! Stay away from this man, isn't that better!?"

"The show's ratings are high enough already! Refuse the production team's troublemaking!!!"
