He Jinxia smiled at her, shook her head, and a confident smile crossed her face, "I’m not nervous."
She had always felt that she wouldn’t be nervous, from the beginning of the rehearsals to coming to the venue today, she hadn’t felt nervous.
But just standing below the stage, waiting for the mont to ascend, her heart suddenly began to beat faster.
"Thump—" The elevator suddenly moved, and both of their figures trembled, followed by the sound of it slowly rising. He Jinxia took a deep breath, steadying her increasingly fast-beating heart.
She watched as Yang Xingxin, standing next to her, continued to step down, stepping off the lift and onto the stage before her.
A burst of raucous, spirited music sounded through the whole venue, instantly overwhelming the entire gymnasium. Her ears were filled with the sounds of music and the audience’s cheers.
He Jinxia closed her eyes, feeling the platform beneath her feet start to rise, and suddenly, at that mont, the voice of the director ca through her earpiece. She opened her eyes, took a step forward, and appeared dazzlingly before all the spectators.
"Ah!!!"
The audience scread even more fiercely. The sports arena, capable of holding ten thousand people, had beco an ocean of noise. The shouts ford a powerful wave, as if to blow He Jinxia away.
"Boom thump! Boom thump! Boom thump..."
The sound of her heartbeat beca remarkably clear amidst the noisy scene. He Jinxia waved her hands, moving to her designated spot with a smile according to the rehearsal positions, and then, she heard her own voice—
Ringing out through the entire gymnasium!
Participating in such a grand opening show for the first ti, He Jinxia’s performance was very dignified. Her singing was steady and her diction clear, showing no hint of panic; she held the audience, coordinating exceptionally well with Yang Xingxin.
Soon, Yang Xingxin’s and He Jinxia’s showti ca to a perfect end, and the next act to take the stage was the JY girl group and their invited guest, a strong up-and-coming first-line female singer.
"JY! JY! JY..."
He Jinxia sat in the special guest seat next to her ntor, hearing so of the audience chanting for JY, complex emotions crossing her eyes.
Suddenly, she sowhat understood why the original He Jinxia, even though she knew she was overweight and didn’t fit with the team’s developnt, didn’t want to leave.
Standing on the huge stage, with neon lights constantly flashing and the audience below shouting her na, that unique feeling is sothing an actor cannot experience.
As if a divine being, gloriously descended.
The ntors’ opening shows were perford one by one, and then the contestants entered, beginning today’s competition sequence.
Each special guest introduced themselves after the contestants perford, and when it was a certain ntor’s contestant’s turn, the corresponding special guest made their introduction.
Yang Xingxin’s contestant, Fu Junyi, unfortunately was the last to perform, so He Jinxia’s introduction was also delayed for a long ti.
So viewers in the audience were He Jinxia’s fans, and seeing He Jinxia appear in Yang Xingxin’s opening show, they eagerly posted on Weibo, WeChat, QQ, and other platforms, excitedly telling others the news.
Zilei: "Oh my god, I actually saw Fat Emperor at the Music Strongest Sound competition venue!!"
Starting and Ending: " 1! Jinxia actually showed up on the show, it scared too!"
Ulurico: "Begging for a dynamic gif, I want to lick my screen _(:з」∠)_"
Yi Wang: "Licking the screen with you _(:з」∠)_ps: Why wasn’t this revealed in advance, if I had known Fat Emperor would be there I would have fought to the death for a ticket to this episode ahhh [going crazy]"]
In the fan group, so people shared blurry photos of Fat Emperor appearing on the big screen, imdiately exciting the fans.
Even fans who had been silent for years resurfaced, and while Cheng Xiaohua was managing comnts backstage, her phone nearly crashed from the barrage of ssages from the fan group.
At the sa ti, Zhang Dayou uploaded a short video clip to He Jinxia’s personal site, featuring He Jinxia singing with Yang Xingxin.
Zhang Dayou was also at the scene, sitting in a VIP seat, with a clear view of He Jinxia on stage. He was carrying a high-definition professional cara borrowed from the company, uploading snippets of exciting videos to the website.
He had obtained permission from the Music Strongest Sound production team to film these clips, so there wouldn’t be any issues. Luo You was managing He Jinxia’s Weibo, reposting these audiovisual images from the personal site.
This episode of the competition wasn’t broadcast live but pre-recorded for later editing and will formally et the audience next week.
To attract more viewers, so pre-show hype and exposure were necessary. They released a few exciting clips to whet people’s appetites, so when the ti ca, everyone could make plans with their friends to watch the show together—how delightful~
Other special guests also had filming done, imdiately uploading the footage to Weibo. They spent a lot of money hiring a Water Army to dominate the top ten trending spots.
As a result, that evening, it seed as though everyone on Weibo was discussing Music Strongest Sound; it appeared the show was omnipresent.
He Jinxia’s team didn’t choose to spend money hiring a Water Army to boost popularity; they just tagged Music Strongest Sound’s official account, riding on the coat-tails of other celebrities’ visibility, and effortlessly experienced a mini surge in traffic.
The surge might have been small, but it’s better than anything money could buy, because winning without trying is still winning, and with teammates like that, what could she do ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Ti flew by, and soon it was Fu Junyi’s performance.
Fu Junyi perford a high-energy song, singing and dancing to showcase his impressive overall abilities.
After his performance, Yang Xingxin and He Jinxia stood up together, spoke about Fu Junyi’s difficulties and improvents during this period, campaigned for him, and then Yang Xingxin introduced He Jinxia, saying she had given her a lot of help.
"Everyone knows, Jinxia was a mber of a girl group and has deep insight into singing and dancing. Her arrival brought a lot of help and broadened Fu Junyi’s path. Many of the expressions through body movents he showed on stage today were instructed by Jinxia."
He Jinxia quickly responded with modesty, "You’re too kind. Sister Xingxin has already taught Junyi very well. I just gave a little advice, and Junyi was able to understand and execute it perfectly."
After the two exchanged mutual humility, the host steered the conversation towards JY girl group, sowing discord on purpose:
"Teacher He Jinxia, today you’re here to help Teacher Yang Xingxin, but your forr group mbers, Li Zimu and ng Wan, are ntoring another contestant. Will you feel conflicted about whom to help?"
This question was also pre-arranged by the show’s production team. All mbers from the JY girl group, one soloist soaring high recently, while the others were still polishing their craft in the lukewarm girl group—just jotting down a few words makes for an explosive subject.
