I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 102: Enjoy Our Professional Singing and Dancing
Everyone looked down at their numbers again.
"...Amazing, it almost entirely avoided our areas of expertise."
"Sister Guan Yu, do you have a field of expertise?"
"I do! I won first place in a singing contest in elementary school, singing the Strong Army Battle Song."
Mu Qiu: "That must’ve been chosen for first place purely because the song was so positive-energy, right?"
Guan Yu: "You guessed it! No wonder you’re you, Qiuqiu."
Mu Qiu rolled his eyes.
He used the eye roll to ease his sorrow.
Guan Yu still giggled, "Come on everyone, report your tasks. Number 1 first? Who’s Number 1?"
In the crowd, a tall person reluctantly raised his hand.
The whole group was shocked.
"Ah... Brother Huai, this..."
Shu Ran tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth: "So we’re finally going to witness Brother Huai’s runway version of sing and dance?"
Shi Yuhuai: "I can’t dance."
Shu Ran: "That’s okay, Brother Huai, your long legs are enough."
Shi Yuhuai glanced at her and said, "I can’t sing either."
Shu Ran replied again, "That’s okay too, you’re not the only one who can’t sing."
Shi Yuhuai paused, looking down seriously at her.
[It’s clear Shu Ran is meticulously taking revenge hahahaha]
[The desire to see Brother Huai sing and dance is uncontainable!]
[I sense Brother Huai’s eyes saying: Is this the delayed karma?]
[Hahahahahaha my dear electric piano!]
[I was wondering why Mu Qiu’s expression seemed a bit stiff]
[The singing and dancing is Shi Yuhuai hahahaha (allow me to laugh for five hundred years) and the electric piano is Mu Qiu hahahaha (laugh another five hundred years)]
[Suddenly looking forward to this special concert, macho man rubbing hands.jpg]
[Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng I saw him! He’s Number 8!! Drum kit, oh orange juice people!!!]
[Lin Xixi dancing! My gosh, might as well put her on stage to box or brandish a big sword!]
[Unbelievable, for the safety and health of my mind and body, I’m ready to lower the volume]
The first contestant was already enough to leave professional performers speechless, and then the second contestant delivered an even more exasperating answer.
"Number 2, who’s the electric piano player?"
Mu Qiu looked around, silently raising his right hand.
Li Yang asked her, "Do you know the electric piano?"
"I know how to use an electric drill."
"..."
Li Yang was at a loss for words, looking up at the sky and sighing: "What’s all this configuration."
The main performer who can’t sing or dance, an author who can only use an electric drill now tasked with playing the electric piano, it’s surreal.
At last, hoping his cool and domineering dance might save the program, but those following one by one brought "a man on the verge of breakdown to tears again."
Guan Yu: "I’m Number 3, singing."
Duan Pinyuan: "I’m Number 4, singing. I’m not great at singing, I easily get off-key."
Lin Xixi: "I’m Number 5, dancing. Can I switch to martial arts?"
Shu Ran: "I’m Number 6, guitar, learned for a year in middle school."
Qi Feng: "I’m Number 7, dancing."
Cheng Zhirang: "I’m Number 8, drum kit, not really familiar with it."
Li Yang cradled a husky face, his voice thin like a whisper: "I’m Number 9, dancing."
The morale fell to negative two floors.
Guan Yu thought for a moment and tried to cheer everyone up: "It’s okay, let’s think positively, this is a great team! Each fulfilling their role..."
"Working hard to torture the audience’s senses, right?"
Guan Yu: "..." I can’t respond to that.
Perhaps that remark had a comedic effect, everyone was speechless and then after exchanging a glance, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"My heavens, I really can’t imagine Brother Huai singing and dancing hahahahahahaha!"
"What I can’t imagine even more is me playing the electric piano! That sound produced will be noise, not music!"
"Xixi still wants to switch dancing for martial arts! I’m dead from laughter, she’s the only one in a variety show who doesn’t want to dance and wants to perform martial arts!"
"Brother Huai, you got this! We’ll be alongside you, dancing and playing music!"
"Luckily Li Yang and Qi Feng are versatile, Pinyuan and Brother Cheng should barely make it, hopefully they can lead us through this unique performance!"
After the fun, Li Yang really couldn’t rest easy and asked the director: "Director, is there any expected outcome for the performance?"
Guan Yu: "You might as well ask directly, Director, can it be out of tune?"
Li Yang: "That request is too unreasonable and demanding..."
The director picked up his little loudspeaker: "It can be."
Li Yang: "???"
Qi Feng also voiced his confusion, "Okay to not sing or dance well?"
Mu Qiu: "Right, the director says the emphasis is on facial expressions!"
In sync with her voice, Cheng Zhirang also spoke up: "It’s testing our expressions."
As they finished speaking simultaneously, they exchanged glances, Cheng Zhirang then looked away and continued: "Everyone is basically not too skilled at what they’ve drawn, and the program team can’t expect us to master it with no teacher in such a short time, so the performance isn’t the focus. The key is maintaining expressions; an incorrect expression will lead to penalties."
His voice was magnetic and gentle, making one quiet down to listen to him, after which they couldn’t help but nod and clapped to agree with him.
Everyone nodded in agreement, Shu Ran followed the steps: "So what expression did everyone get? Mine is sideways laughing."
Li Yang: "Mine is a smile."
Shi Yuhuai: "Wide eyes without expression."
Guan Yu: "Crying bitterly."
Mu Qiu: "Grinning."
Lin Xixi: "Laughing until tears come out."
Cheng Zhirang: "Beside me a smile full of hearts."
Duan Pinyuan: "Eye roll..."
Qi Feng: "I drew the one Li Yang had before, tongue out and winking smile."
"Sounds not particularly difficult, shall we jump right in?"
"Sure."
Li Yang and Qi Feng arranged a formation, Mu Qiu sat at the right end, gently felt the piano.
Afraid to press down for fear it’ll attract all attention.
"Everyone ready?"
"All set!!!"
The director nodded to the staff, music started playing in the venue.
"As long as you love me yeah I’m under pressure, seven billion people in the world..."
Two loops of just tolerable intro before instruments joined in.
"Poof—"
Across the room, everyone’s expressions started wildly distorting.
Mu Qiu pressed the piano keys, immediately turned away pretending not to see the noise from her hand, Shu Ran’s guitar feeling like plucking cotton, Cheng Zhirang’s drum kit barely held the rhythm... Li Yang was so shocked his hairline moved up, everyone’s expressions took flight together.
"That’s not music," a professional recoiled, "That’s noise!"
Mu Qiu innocently released her hand, looking at him.
Li Yang still pondered a rescue measure, then the penalty device on his waist suddenly activated, a dense white smoke puffed out like a rocket taking off, scaring Li Yang into jumping chaotically. Two seconds later, the swirling smoke engulfed most of the dazed Li Yang.
The others stared wide-eyed at the scene.
"...Turns out to be a lift-off device making use of the body’s useless waste gas."
