- Chapter 3-1 - The Vicious Supporting Role Only Wants to Debut as Center Chapter 3-1
The entire venue fell into a grave-like silence. Every single one of them can see that this seems to be Wei Yichen’s act of ‘revenge’ against Ji Zeyu.
“Ji Zeyu danced terribly to the theme song. During the assessment test that day, he even knocked Xiao Huai off the course.” Wan Taki whispered near Lu Nanyun’s ear: “This is going to be a good show to watch now.”
Lu Nanyun’s expression did not change at all, not even a single hint of emotion can be seen through his eyes.
Ji Zeyu’s brain went black for a few seconds before it finally started to operate rapidly.
He slowly stood up and walked to the center of the stage amidst everyone’s gazes on him. Ji Zeyu picked up the microphone and said with a smile on his face: “Thank you Yichen for inviting me up here. I’m feeling a little nervous now. After all, everyone knows my capabilities and skills…”
The audience sitting under the stage was stunned by his words for a few seconds before they realized that he was actually dissing himself. A huge amount of laughter broke out from the crowd and some of the contestants couldn’t help but let out a few chuckles themselves. The atmosphere in the filming site suddenly changed from a stressful and tensed state to a relaxed and harmonious state.
“In order to not pollute everyone’s sights, I’ll let Yichen dance first.” Ji Zeyu said with a bashful grin on his face: “I’ll do a double check as he performs so that I can make sure that I’ll perform the correct moves.”
The humorous self-mocking words made the audience who were originally hostile towards Ji Zeyu temporarily drop their tinted glasses.
“He’s so cute…”
“Actually, even if he can’t dance at all, I can still accept him as an idol.”
“I agree. His looks are really superior.”
The music began to play.
Wei Yichen stood in the center of the stage and started dancing to the theme song.
Everyone began to relax as they hear the cheerful and upbeat boy group song. It was only Ji Zeyu who was in a high state of tension, beads of sweat even began to appear on the corners of his forehead.
If he can based this on his talent show experience, the front and back parts of this type of theme songs are basically the same. In the first half of the song, he had to take note of every dance move that Wei Yichen is doing with his bare eyes, and he only has this one chance to do so.
Remembering all the dance moves after watching just one performance is basically an impossible thing to do for an ordinary person.
Ji Zeyu knew this harsh truth deep within his heart. He honestly thinks that he can’t do it. However, he had to bite the bullet and do his best. Otherwise, the black fans on the live broadcast chat room will definitely take advantage of this issue and soon after this event, there will be another addition to his black history.
Wei Yichen is recognized and acknowledged by everyone as a powerful and strong dancer in the talent show. He was already ranked at Class A at the very beginning of the show, he was also ranked in Class A during the theme song round. Each and every part of his dance moves are perfect as well as beautiful to look at and the mood within the venue was immediately lifted up within such a short span of time.
After Wei Yichen finished performing the dance for the first half of the theme song, the song started to enter the interlude part. The eyes of the entire audience immediately focused on Ji Zeyu, there were many people waiting to see a joke happen before their eyes.
Wei Yichen was slightly panting after his performance but there was still a smile on his face and his tear mole were dazzling under the spotlight. He took the initiative to give up the center position of the stage to Ji Zeyu.
Underneath everyone’s mocking gaze, Ji Zeyu calmly took a deep breath. He hid the nervousness that he was feeling and raised his eyes to look up at the audience in front of him, showing a confident smile on his face.
Beneath the glowing lights, the young man looked slender and strong. The smile that he had made his appearance look even more appealing and his dark amber colored eyes were filled of irresistible charm.
While the crowd was feeling stunned by Ji Zeyu’s charming smile, he began to sway his body to the cheerful music and started to dance to the talent show’s theme song with ease, his entire body looked quite comfortable as he began to perform.
At the beginning, every single one of the audience didn’t have any expectations towards Ji Zeyu at all. Anyways, his self-deprecating attitude was not so bad today so the black fans were planning to be merciful towards him. They wouldn’t be too harsh to him as long as he won’t play dirty.
However, then seconds later, every person in the room showed an incredulous and disbelieved expression on their faces.
Ji Zeyu completely broke out of his usual stiffy and rigid dancing style that he had in the past. Every dance moves that he did was done with just the right amount of power and flexibility. The British-styled uniform that he wore along with the bright smile on his face completely took everyone’s attention. He looked like the dazzling sunshine in the beautiful spring.
In the climax of the theme song, Ji Zeyu’s performance was particularly well done. His smooth body lines and movements were precisely on beat, he was not losing out to Wei Yichen who performed perfectly just a few moments ago.
After the dance performance was over, the audience was in a deep silence for at least three seconds before a loud applause and massive cheers broke out from every single one individual sitting on the audience’s seats.
“Darn it, is this really the Ji Zeyu that I know!?”
“Xiao Yu has improved so much, oh my goodness…”
“It turns out that if a handsome man dances seriously then they would become even more handsome, ah… I’m dead!!!”
Lu Nanyun blankly stared at the young man standing at the center of the stage with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
During this time, Wan Taki leaned into Lu Nanyun’s ear and whispered quietly: “Brother Nan, I think I saw Ji Zeyu making a few mistakes on the dance moves just now, did I see it incorrectly?”
He was actually correct in his guess. Ji Zeyu had indeed made several mistakes in his dance moves.
It is impossible for a normal person to learn an entire dance after only watching it for one time, Ji Zeyu is not an exception to that rule. Because of that, he focused on the more recognizable dance moves as well as the dance moves during the high/climax part of the theme song so that he can reduce the difficulty of memorizing the dance moves.
In addition to these movements, he was someone who already had more than ten years of experience in dancing. He had performed the dance based on his experience and to the parts that he couldn’t remember completely, he just replaced them with other dance moves.
After he struggled for eight years on this kinds of talent shows, Ji Zeyu understood one simple thing very well.
You can make an error during your performance but they must not affect the integrity of your whole performance.
Fortunately, the audience was not familiar with the choreography of the theme song and their attention was also attracted by Ji Zeyu’s handsome appearance so they didn’t find anything wrong to his dance moves.
Lu Nanyun also realized this fact. At first he had thought that Ji Zeyu was improving rapidly but then, his few mistakes made him think that it was just a mere illusion, How could a loser like him even work hard?
Wei Yichen looked at Ji Zeyu with a deep gaze in his eyes. Apparently, his thoughts were the same as Lu Nanyun’s.
“Wow, both contestants did a wonderful job!” The host looked at Ji Zeyu with a surprised expression: “Xiao Yu, I heard someone from the audience just a few moments ago say that you’ve improved quite a lot.”
“Thank you for your compliments, everyone.”
Ji Zeyu politely bowed to the audience before he left the stage and returned to his seat.
For the rest of the livestream broadcast, no one else had asked him to perform his skills once again. Wei Yichen sat beside him and although he had a small smile on his face, the thoughtful look on his eyes says otherwise.
After the Marketing Summit finally ended, Ji Zeyu hurriedly ran away from Wei Yichen. His pair of irises locked onto Qi Aodong who was within the crowd and quickly walked towards his direction, telling him: “Let’s go back together.”
When Qi Aodong laid his eyes on Ji Zeyu again, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He had always felt that the person in front of him was quite odd and weird. The Ji Zeyu in his memories was arrogant and cocky, he did not even bother to talk to Qi Aodong. He was also not as strong as a dancer as he was just a while ago.
In Qi Aodong’s personal opinion, the few mistakes that he did during his performance were not even worth mentioning if you compare it to Ji Zeyu’s dancing during the theme song round.
Could it be that Ji Zeyu had finally become motivated and eager to improve?
