Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star? Chapter 518 - 297. Two days before the performance3

But what is displayed on stage is definitely not just the strength of the dance and the level of uniformity.

During the performance, managing expressions, timing with the cara, and even... the program team’s cara work are all far different from what she experienced on the music stages in Korea.

These aren’t changes that can be made in a short ti; they require continual practice, day in and day out.

The dance practice room has a large mirror for practitioners to check their results.

And from the mirror, everyone can easily notice the gap between themselves and momo in other aspects.

This person can always keep a smile, and not just a rigid one.

With the changing dance movents, her expressions would also beco animated.

This ability is really hard to imitate; a poor imitation coupled with overexertion just makes one look greasy...

(This is really no joke, in Sister Wave 3, Card Sister is indeed from a different world compared to others. Watching her performance, it’s clear, knowing that she has been away from the stage for so many years, but still so eye-catching)

"We have to decide on the performance order tomorrow, what do you think is a good spot to perform?"

The way to decide the performance order is through a ga, although it’s a highly competitive variety show, it’s ultimately still a variety show.

The ga segnts that always appear in variety shows are sothing the program team definitely won’t miss.

However, this ti, it’s different from the serious gas played in the ga room; it’s a variety-type ga.

After all, this segnt is ant for the official show, not like those played in the ga room... which are only included in extras or mini-theaters.

"We asked momo about this, and she said it’s best to be last because the final act leaves the deepest impression on the audience, but we still don’t know the voting rules... The director will tell us tomorrow, right?"

"Voting happens imdiately after each performance."

Liu Xin’an leaked this bit of information.

And this news made Lu Xiao stunned.

After pondering for a few seconds and feeling that this wasn’t sothing she could decide on her own, she hurriedly took out her phone and tapped into the chat group of the five of them.

This action, done without concealing it from Liu Xin’an, made him look utterly confused.

Because he could clearly see that there were only five people in that chat group.

But...

He also had a chat group with six people.

Was he being excluded?

Lu Xiao noticed Liu Xin’an’s puzzled look, gave an awkward smile and coughed to cover it up: "Um... our chats always have so things you shouldn’t see, understand!"

"... Don’t explain it like that, your explanation makes it even weirder!" Liu Xin’an covered his face, as if her words made him seem like a pervert.

Lu Xiao gave another awkward smile, but her typing didn’t stop.

After a while, the practice room’s door was pushed open from the outside.

The tall momo led the way in, followed by three others who were not short either. Since everyone was silent, at first glance, it had quite the vibe of a domineering CEO leading employees into a eting.

Well... quite cool.

"What’s up?"

"Ah, Brother An is here! Oh! And there’s fruit!"

"Thanks, Brother An~"

"Thank you."

Each of them greeted Liu Xin’an, then casually picked up the boxes of fruit, each holding one and munching away.

"Brother An just told that voting is done right after each performance. Given that, which spot should we aim for in the performance order?"

Everyone looked at momo, who was eating fruit. No one translated the long stretch of Chinese for momo, leaving her confused.

Fortunately, Liu Xin’an considerately explained it to momo in Japanese, which brought a look of understanding to her face.

"Is it confird? Won’t the director deceive you?"

"Hard to say, can’t rule out that possibility. We should just prepare two plans."

Kidding, he is "Cautious Liu Xin’an," how could the directing team trick him.

In any case, there are only two possibilities; as long as he prepares corresponding plans for both, that’s enough.

"If the votes are all at the end, definitely the last performance is better, as it leaves the strongest impression on everyone."

"What about the other possibility?"

"For the other... it’s hard to say, maybe the first or the third are the best. Anyway, the second is the worst!"

momo stated simply, and Lu Xiao, who understood English, nodded along.

She had also participated in similar shows, so she had a good grasp of such voting matters.

"So you’re saying, if we vote together, try to choose a later performance slot; if it’s voting after each performance, aim for either the first or the last, right?"

"That’s one way to understand it."

Everyone nodded, then, as if by unspoken agreent, turned to look at Liu Xin’an.

"What ga are we playing?"

The uniform gaze nearly caused Liu Xin’an to choke on his own saliva. He cleared his throat and said innocently, "How would I know."

"Aren’t you the host? The recording is tomorrow, and you still don’t know by today?"

Lu Xiao’s contemptuous look left Liu Xin’an speechless with laughter: "Besides, I’m also your team leader. How could Director Yang tell in advance? He doesn’t trust ."

"Then go find out now. Hurry up, go on."

This was a crucial part of choosing the performance order. To ensure fairness and competitiveness in this show, the production team had specially separated the professional judges’ votes from the audience’s, followed by an even split to maximize the mitigation of vote disparity due to popularity.

As for whether the audience would doubt a rigged outco...

That was beyond the production team’s control. The fans are mostly subjective, and with the idol filter, very few fans can accept their favorite idol’s defeat.

Liu Xin’an sighed helplessly. Since the team mbers had spoken, he, the leader, definitely had to do so legwork.

He nodded, his expression resolute.

"Alright, I’ll go gank Director Yang now, succeed or die trying!"

"Go for a solo kill on Director Yang offline! I believe in you, Brother An!"

Director Yang, watching this scene from a small screen, also had a smirk as he waved to soone nearby: "Have the cara crew follow Liu Xin’an, film this segnt as material."

"Alright, Director Yang."
