Chapter 62 A lot of pressure
She pulled her hand out unnaturally and muttered quietly: "Who wants to play such a boring game with you?"
Ning Baicha didn't care about her attitude and still smiled. She knew Chen Ying was younger than her, so she said, "Come on, sister!"
Chen Ying snorted uncomfortably, raised her chin, and walked forward.
After Ning Baicha came out, he sat down in the contestant seating area.
There is no one performing on the stage yet.
After all the contestants were in place, the lights in the theater were turned off and a spotlight was lit on the stage.
The order of the performances was arranged by Director Chen and it was very reasonable.
Those who usually have poor stage performances are placed at the front, so their highlights or problems can be seen at a glance.
Those who performed well are ranked in the middle. This type of actors is average in all aspects, but nothing too outstanding. They are suitable for any role, but they are not eye-catching.
The last two are the finale.
When the actual performance takes place, the finale is highly anticipated.
But now it is not a real performance, but a competition, and the real test is on the actors.
During the performance, there will be stage lighting effects, and some specific programs will also have atmosphere groups.
But in such a serious competition, whether it is the mentors or the audience, it is easy to get tired watching a group of people perform the same role.
And different people approach the role differently.
A thousand people, a thousand Hamlets.
If you really want to get the public's votes at this time, you need not only strength but also luck.
Ning Baicha also faces a more serious problem.
Director Chen pointed out in front of everyone that Chen Ying is his niece, but it is hard to say whether anyone among the audience and judges will give her a vote as a favor.
So, Ning Baicha is not particularly confident in this game.
She pursed her lips and once again held Qiu's character script in her hands and read it over and over again. She had already made character cards yesterday and circled the parts she didn't understand.
Chang Mengyu also sorted out this character for her.
Qiu is a person who is particularly lacking in love. Such people are not uncommon. Regardless of the general environment set in the script or in modern times, there is still a group of people who lack love.
Basically most of them are attributed to the original family.
The reason why people can empathize with the character of Qiu is that she has contradictions that most people may have.
The contradiction of self.
The contradiction between reality and ideal.
At the beginning, Qiu was not a sociable woman. She was very down-to-earth and hardworking.
It is because of the pressure from the environment that one becomes depraved and starts using one's body to earn more money, but this money is limited to a certain amount.
At first, Ning Baicha thought it was because Qiu thought he was only worth this amount.
But now… She watched the character script over and over again, and an idea vaguely emerged in her mind, but it was too short and she didn't catch it.
The performance on stage has begun.
The first performer was a newcomer, even newer than Ning Baicha, who came in through formal channels but had little performance experience. It was fine when everyone was rehearsing together, but I was suddenly facing such a big stage by myself, and there were quite a few audiences below the stage.
She was visibly panicking, and while dancing, she made a lot of movements that she shouldn't have made, and in the end it was obvious that she couldn't hold on.
After stepping off the stage, the little girl hid in the locker room and cried.
Chen Ying frowned, not agreeing: "You're crying before you even get on stage. You can't seize the opportunity."
Chang Mengyu didn't say anything, and Ning Baicha didn't express any opinion.
It is not a difficult thing to show kindness to a little girl, but Chen Ying is right. The reality is that people will be willing to be patient and accompany you because of your young age, the fact that it is your first time, etc.
But when the real performance begins, there is no time to think about so many things.
Reality is reality.
Goodwill and profit choices are not in conflict.
The second one is relatively better, but it is obvious that this person does not understand the character well enough and the dancing is very stereotyped.
The third and fourth ones are basically the same problem.
As time goes by, more and more outstanding talents emerge.
However, after observing around, Ning Baicha found that there were actually only a few people she could truly consider as her rivals. So far, only Chen Ying was her real rival.
Two hours later, most of the contestants had finished dancing.
Finally, there are Chen Ying and Ning Baicha.
Director Chen praised both of them by name and arranged them both to be at the end, just to see them compete against each other.
However, Director Chen did not rank the two.
When it was their turn, Director Chen called both of them over.
"Who will go first, you two?"
Ning Baicha was a little puzzled: "The audience is already tired of watching, so it doesn't seem to matter who comes first or last. Unless there is something particularly outstanding, otherwise, we may not even get a higher score than them."
Chen Ying snorted, "I go first, you go second. I'll give you the chance to be the last. I'll get the audience excited, and when it's your turn, everyone will be even more excited. I'm capable, so I'm not afraid of you taking advantage of me."
Ning Baicha did not refuse: "Thank you, Sister Chen Ying."
Director Chen waved his hand: "Okay, now that it's decided, let's get ready."
Ning Baicha sat back in the contestant seating area.
The spotlight came on, and Chen Ying stood under the spotlight in her dance costume. She first performed a sad solo dance, which expressed Qiu's leaving her hometown.
The scenes kept changing, and then the rhythm of the music became faster.
Chen Ying performed a dance with a very dense rhythm, accompanied by dance moves that expressed physical labor.
Combine dance with labor movements.
This is Chen Ying’s own design!
The audience, who were already a little drowsy, were stunned by this dance.
Ning Baicha noticed that some people had started to sit up straight and stare intently at Chen Ying on the stage.
After the rhythmic dance, a male dance partner came up. This is the story of Qiu and the first rich businessman.
The two entangled with each other, separated, and entangled with each other again.
It expresses the deep affection of love, as well as the little awkwardness when two people have an argument.
This period of time did not last long. Suddenly, several people rushed up and separated the two people. A woman who looked like a rich lady appeared and did several knocking dance moves towards Chen Ying.
Here, the rich businessman deceived Qiu, saying that he was single, but in fact he had been married for a long time.
The so-called sweet love is nothing more than a little sweetness given to Qiu when he is in a good mood.
Qiu was shocked and angry.
The character Qiu handled by Chen Ying is a mixture of these two emotions.
Ning Baicha frowned as he looked at Chen Ying on the stage. He felt the situation was becoming increasingly difficult, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of satisfaction at having found his opponent.
Chang Mengyu suddenly sat down next to her and said in a low voice, "Are you under a lot of pressure?"
