The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 68

Suddenly it was quiet.

Both Qin Wei and Li Yao turned to look at Xu Mingchuan at the same time.

"Um... I read that the preliminaries are individual competitions, and accompaniment singing and dancing is not allowed. It's just a 3 minute self-presentation to showcase your own musical talent.

I think there's no need to do anything too flashy. Just pick a video for me to learn from, and that should work out, right?"

Qin Wei added,

"You can find something on a certain website, and it's free too."

Xu Mingchuan and Li Yao almost spoke in unison:

"The problem is, can you learn it?!"

Qin Wei felt that this was probably the original owner's skill level in their minds.

At the moment there was no other way. Seeing Qin Wei's firm assurances, Xu Mingchuan could only temporarily agree, and he also notified Qian Lang to find a better team.

He refused to believe that all the good music and dance teachers in China had been snatched up by those entertainment companies!

...

"I picked a few simple ones for you, choose one to practice well."

Xu Mingchuan had already prepared a dance studio in the company specifically for Qin Wei's dance practice.

He handed over the tablet. Qin Wei looked at it carefully and shook her head.

"This is too simple, it's basically repeating the same moves. This one is too sweet and obviously doesn't match my temperament. This one with piano and then dance is a bit too flashy right? There's only 3 minutes!"

Xu Mingchuan stood with hands on hips looking at Qin Wei, then smiled helplessly:

"I'd also like you to dance 'Flying Apsaras', but I'm not underestimating you. With such a short time and no teachers or professional team, I advise you to pick a simple one. With your fame, you should be able to get through the preliminaries."

Qin Wei nodded:

"Then 'River' it is."

...

At Shengshi Entertainment, dance practice was also in full swing. In the huge dance studio there were over a dozen people, some holding cameras to film, some keeping the beat, some standing on the side following the music and dance, while Liu Xin stood in the center of the dance studio very seriously following the teacher's dance.

When the music ended, everyone applauded Liu Xin. An assistant handed her a towel and she took it to wipe away sweat from her forehead.

Chen Xinya stood at the door clapping. Seeing Liu Xin rest, she walked over and said to her:

"As expected of senior sister, learning 'River' in less than a week. After debuting, since you'll be the leader, remember to take care of your junior sisters!"

Liu Xin smiled slightly and casually threw the towel to the assistant. Then she sat down and said while drinking water:

"What makes you so confident? Don't get me wrong, I just mean to say, just because I can debut doesn't mean you can."

Joking? Looking down on her?

Who knows what she meant by that, but Chen Xinya didn't get angry at all. She casually sat down beside her and smiled:

"Senior sister feels I may not debut, but I hope senior sister can get C position on debut. But reality is cruel. The charming Miss Qiao has also signed up, as well as Qin Wei..."

When she mentioned Qiao Sixiao, Liu Xin was not surprised, but when she brought up Qin Wei, Liu Xin paused and couldn't help frowning:

"She's participating too?"

Chen Xinya looked at her in surprise:

"Senior sister didn't know? She was probably one of the last to sign up, but it makes sense. She was about to be forgotten but these two variety shows increased her popularity quite a bit, and that previous interview did pretty well too...

Whereas us junior sisters, despite being on the same shows, our reputation has declined instead."

Liu Xin gnashed her teeth, recalling the previous show. She was still annoyed that the show was supposed to highlight her but Qin Wei kept stealing the spotlight, and she even turned things around in the end.

Liu Xin glanced around:

"Too many people, let's not talk about this now. We'll have dinner together later and chat then."

...

The 3 days passed very quickly. Other than sleeping and bathing, Qin Wei spent almost all her time in the dance studio.

With her solid foundation from her previous life, Qin Wei picked up dance moves very quickly. Plus she understood the techniques herself, learning this dance was not difficult for her.

But it wasn't all smooth sailing either. After all, this body was not her own. The original owner had no dance foundation, and though she had muscle memory from dance practiced in her previous life, this body did not. So often her body could not keep up with her brain, and the moves looked uncoordinated.

Apart from that, she lacked power and jumped as if treading on water.

Qin Wei looked at herself in the mirror. Her workout clothes were drenched in sweat. She had been too optimistic. The original owner's dance skills were ten years behind her own in her previous life.

Ten years of accumulated sweat and tears. That was real, tangible foundation that could not be easily surpassed.

For now she could only believe diligence makes up for clumsiness. Repeat over and over, until her body also memorized every move through and through.

Luckily for the preliminary audition she just had to showcase her talent, without concrete requirements. So Qin Wei temporarily gave up on singing and devoted all her energy to dance.

What comforted her was that her voice was nice. Combined with her own familiarity with music theory and vocal techniques, as long as she practiced repeatedly, she could sing well.

"Qin Wei, you must persevere!"

Qin Wei sighed at the mirror, picked up her towel and wiped off sweat, then started the music again to keep practicing.

Outside the door stood Xu Mingchuan and Li Yao.

They didn't go in, not wanting to pressure her, but they keenly watched her efforts these past few days. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com

Li Yao was quite surprised by this. He was both shocked and delighted by Qin Wei's performance, and quietly said to Xu Mingchuan:

"She's improving too fast! I thought my little ancestor was just a tone deaf dancer, didn't expect that in just 3 days, she not only remembered the moves but is dancing better and better! Have I been suppressing a potential dance queen all this time?"

Through the glass, Xu Mingchuan watched Qin Wei dance. He kept feeling like something was a little unfamiliar, kept feeling like she wasn't...

It must be his imagination. Qin Wei had a tough couple of years, and after enduring the poison of society, people gradually learn to grow up and learn to compromise. So why must he stubbornly believe Qin Wei would never bend?

"Her progress is indeed fast."

Xu Mingchuan did not deny this.

"With this level, she should have no problem passing the preliminaries. And going with a sexy concept this time has good contrast with the fairy image she normally portrays, it might have a great effect... I'm just worried... nevermind, it's too late to change now anyway."
