one
Rest assured, I will not disappoint after such a long period of training
Looking at Su Miaona, who had already put on a smile, Xu Qingying raised the smile she had practiced in front of the mirror countless times, but suddenly felt a deep sense of unease in her heart
Keep it up
What is going on? Wasn't it agreed that everyone would participate? Seeing the somewhat aggrieved expressions of the departing team members, Peng Peng took the lead in asking
Suddenly, a somewhat frivolous voice was heard
The other artists participating in the program were laughing heartily, which she found somewhat incomprehensible. Is it really that funny to see a girl fall from a great height into a pile of flour?
With this thought in mind, Xu Qingying stood up. On the other side, Wang Anqi was unable to stop her and said nervously: "Qingying, don't be impulsive! Peng Peng and the others..."
Whenever Xu Qingying thinks back to her childhood, when she once cried out loud with her mouth wide open because Xu Wanjiao wanted to go home, she cannot help but laugh out loud
He chewed gum nonchalantly, removed his glasses with his fair hands, and his large peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with spring water; even a fleeting glance appeared to carry deep affection.
The camera swept over, and Xu Qingying couldn't help but grab Su Miaona's hand
It seems that some instructions were transmitted through the earpiece, causing the bodyguards to suddenly split into two teams and stand firm, just in time to block the staff who had stopped to watch the commotion
The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment
With a bang, laughter erupted once again at the scene
Captain, do you really have to be this impressive? In such a tense situation, you are still able to notice so much? Xu Qingying silently complained
"Pinkgirls, keep it up!" Su Miaona, who had always been somewhat reticent, exclaimed, her voice carrying a tremor and enthusiasm that she herself was unaware of.
Xu Qingying's sadness suddenly surged forth. Just moments ago on stage, all the spotlight was focused on them, and the spirited smiles of Su Miaona and Peng Peng still lingered in her mind. At this moment, however, they had fallen hard into a pile of flour, looking utterly disheveled.
Keep it up
Go, Cherry Blossom!
The moment he saw her, Jin Bei almost wanted to kneel down: "Qing Ying, you have finally appeared! The director has already urged us once, what on earth have you been doing?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the director, who had just moments ago worn an impatient expression, instantly changed his demeanor. His round face broke into a smile, wrinkling like a chrysanthemum. He stood up and walked towards the direction of the sound, saying as he walked, "Young Master Du Mo, you must have rushed over right after the performance, truly dedicated."
Amidst the resounding cheers of "Go for it," everyone raised their hands towards the sky, lifting up their brilliant dreams
Su Miaona glanced at her and said softly, "Xu Qingying, the camera is coming from behind, you are the face of the show, quickly maintain a smile"
"Qingying, you are about to go on stage, what are you doing?" Peng Peng gently nudged the obviously distracted Xu Qingying, glanced at the surrounding members, and whispered, "This is our first television program, so you need to pull yourself together."
From Xu Qingying's perspective, countless spotlight beams were turned on simultaneously, and all that could be seen was a blinding white light, let alone that small hanging ring
As the music prelude began to play, she took a deep breath, raised her smiling face to the camera in front of her, and her body started to move in rhythm.
Just as she was about to send a few people to look for someone, Xu Qingying walked over from the side backstage. The white lace shawl with hollow patterns draped loosely over her body, subtly revealing the white silk camisole underneath. Paired with light blue distressed denim shorts, it not only avoided being dull but also added a touch of playfulness, especially with a flower made from a white lace headband tied in her hair, which instantly highlighted her facial features.
In a photography studio of over 1,000 square meters, colorful neon lights continuously sweep back and forth across the constructed crystal stage, while a massive LED screen behind plays the summer single "Party" by Pinkgirls on repeat. The visually appealing white sand beach and blue sea extend across the entire crystal stage, making it feel as if one has truly stepped into the ocean.
The director's words seemed to be the last straw that broke Xu Qingying's nerves. She could not afford to look at Su Miaona, who was covered in flour on stage, nor could she pay attention to Wang Anqi, who was reaching out to pull her. Instead, she strode towards the director, who was directing the staff below the stage.
Go for it! Xu Qingying couldn't help but shout along.
Accompanied by the music, Xu Qingying danced and sang to the rhythm, while the members beside her constantly changed positions, and she could no longer see any of them. She smiled at the camera in front of her, her sweet smile resembling honey that seeps into the heart, gradually penetrating the audience's hearts.
Before the speaker could finish, the director of photography in the audience suddenly signaled to stop: "Hold on, we need to change the camera tape. We didn't capture clearly when that girl group member fell, so we need to have her fall again later."
Then he turned around, walked up to the somewhat dazed director, and said: "When you think about it, they are still my junior sisters, director. Without them, I wouldn't even have the mood to record the video."
The busy director is making final adjustments for the performance with the broadcast director. In a corner on one side of the stage, the manager of Pinkgirls, Jin Bei, is counting the number of people, as a large girl group of sixteen members is still quite rare in the country
"Good... good." The director clearly just realized it, nodding mechanically.
Peng Peng led the way by extending his hand to the center of the circle, and the members followed suit, layering their hands one upon another, as if that were the cornerstone to stepping into their dreams
In Su Miaona's dictionary, there is no word "retreat". What Peng Peng could not accomplish, I can achieve!" Su Miaona said loudly
Su Miaona cleverly broke free and leaned close to her ear, whispering: "Stop messing around, Pinkgirls cannot be looked down upon from the very beginning"
Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were red yet still stubbornly refused to bow her head, Du Mo smirked and suddenly reached out to touch Xu Qingying's eyelid: "A girl looks best when she smiles; when she cries, her makeup gets ruined."
Dressed in a bow-tie camisole, Peng Peng looked around and couldn't help but ask Wang Anqi, who was still touching up her makeup beside her: "Anqi, where did Qingying go?"
This group of beautiful young women is uniformly dressed in white tops and blue denim shorts. Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that each person's top style and material are not entirely the same. Some wear chiffon crop tops, while others don off-the-shoulder puff-sleeve blouses, which appear to suit their individual characteristics well
"Qing Ying, do not go over there..."
Xu Qingying stuck out her tongue apologetically, while having the staff attach a microphone to her, she walked towards the edge of the stage, her mind filled with the voice of Xu Wanjiao from the recent phone call
Xu Qingying, do not think that your act of being coy will let you off the hook. You just misstepped on stage and almost bumped into Su Miaona, didn't you
Xu Qingying took advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to that old man and silently rolled her eyes: Do you think it's bamboo shoots that can just rise at will
The stylist sister is applying this year's most popular bean paste color lipstick on Wang Anqi. Wang Anqi, with her big eyes coated in mascara, turned around and caught a glimpse of the members huddled together in the corner whispering. Unable to resist, she asked the girl with twin ponytails wearing a white tulle dress, "Tiantian, have you seen Qingying?"
It seems that everyone has been infected by Peng Peng's emotions, unconsciously wearing a look of longing on their faces, with joy shining in their eyes
On a stage of twenty square meters, sixteen members stand in a "V" formation according to the rehearsal arrangement. Xu Qingying stands alone in the front row at the center, facing countless cameras, with the members behind her.
At the moment the music began to play, Xu Qingying silently encouraged herself in her heart
Ah, it hurts, it hurts, Peng Peng, you are not kneading pork, why are you being so forceful
With the final instruction from the control room, Xu Qingying, standing at the center of the stage, was finally able to relax her stiff smile. As the lights gradually dimmed, she rubbed her somewhat numb lips while following the large group downstage.
She held her neck stiffly, wanting to say a few more words, but Peng Peng quietly reached out and pinched the flesh at her waist, causing the words on her lips to turn into a gasp
It should not be like this, it should not be like this! They are not here for amusement, they are here to pursue their dreams!
Jin Bei, who was nearby, quickly walked over and pulled Xu Qingying behind him: "I apologize, I apologize. Our Qingying is young and inexperienced; Director, please do not hold it against her"
Xu Qingying stood beside Peng Peng, suddenly feeling a surge of strength throughout her body. The countless hours spent practicing fervently in the studio, the sweat hidden behind the lights, were like steps built one after another, about to elevate her to a position of dazzling brilliance
"Qingying, you big fool, why didn't you say you liked following me when you were little? This good habit should be maintained and practiced consciously." On the other end of the phone, Xu Wanqiao chuckled softly, her laughter like a gentle feather landing on Xu Qingying's heart, tickling her inside. "Besides, I am studying directing, and I will soon be interning at a television station. You will see me often in the future, and then you won't need to report your location because I will be right by your side"
"This is not just talk; since you are the face of the operation, you must bear the responsibility that comes with it." Su Miaona, who had been silently practicing her dance steps repeatedly, suddenly spoke up, her cold words extinguishing the enthusiasm that had just been ignited.
For Pinkgirls, for our shared dream, let's go!
Indeed, when she sat in the corner seat of the second row of guests on the stage, watching Peng Peng fall into the pile of flour in front of her, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained
She touched her chest, where her heartbeat was still somewhat rapid, and couldn't help but walk up to Peng Peng, wanting to ask for a hug, but was disdainfully pushed away by Peng Peng.
The director looked somewhat awkwardly at the still frozen Pinkgirls, cleared his throat a couple of times, and said: "Since it was designated by Du Mo... then let's continue later."
The director, wearing a black T-shirt, adjusted his glasses and remained silent
Xu Qingying was somewhat unhappy. After coming down from the stage, she didn't even have time to wipe her sweat, and her hair was sticking to her head in a sticky mess. Her originally neat bangs were now as disheveled as weeds, and it was needless to say that her makeup on her face must have smudged.
After Du Mo received a satisfactory answer, he walked towards the lounge: "Then I will leave it to the director. I am a bit tired, and I need to rush back to the crew in two hours, so... let's make the most of the time."
Xu Qingying looked at the person in front of her who was constantly apologizing and felt somewhat ridiculous. Clearly, she was standing up for them, yet she had become the villain instead
In order to look beautiful on stage, they woke up at four in the morning to do their makeup, but now they have turned into a face full of powder, looking foolish, unable to even distinguish who is who
Peng Peng could not help but rub his forehead. Miss Qing Ying, the recording is about to begin, how can you, as the face of the group, run around like this
Xu Wanqiao, when did you become so nagging? Why do I have to report everything to you? Aren't you being a bit too controlling?" Xu Qingying, who had slipped to the back while holding her phone, was somewhat exasperated
Machine No. 4, zoom in and freeze in the middle. Alright, end!
Recalling Xu Wanqiao's last words, Xu Qingying did not know whether to cry or to laugh. Since childhood, she had indeed relied on him, as if everything could be handled well as long as he was by her side; all she had to do was to play and to laugh. At that time, she also had a nickname, called "Xu Wanqiao's little tail"
Encouraged by the host, Su Miaona smiled as she climbed onto the high platform, below which was a pile of flour, and looking up, there was only a white hanging ring the size of a basketball in the air
"Report, Miss, it seems that after the rehearsal, Sister Qingying went backstage." The sweet voice, just like her name, exudes a soft and glutinous flavor
He let out a sneer and slowly walked over to stand in front of Xu Qingying
It is hard to believe, but Xu Wanqiao demanded that she report her location every three hours when she was not rehearsing. What is even more infuriating is that he somehow obtained her schedule from Jin Bei, allowing him to have a perfect grasp of her daily routine twenty-four hours a day
As they left in a grand procession, it seemed that the people had not yet reacted.
She looked around, seemingly as sweat flowed into her eyes, and Su Miaona's eyes turned red, resembling a little rabbit
Who knows that this small action was caught by someone, and that frivolous voice sounded again: "Oh, which naughty one is making a small move? Is this intentionally trying to attract this young master's attention?"
Xu Qingying could not help but look over; the originally busy backstage staff had actually made a deliberate effort to clear a path.
Being young is not an excuse; how many people want to be on our show but cannot? How can you act so arrogantly here? If you are young, then focus on learning; if you cannot learn well, then leave quickly! Delaying our filming is quite troublesome! The director frowned impatiently and waved his hand, urging them to leave quickly
Upon receiving the answer, Wang Anqi glanced at Peng Peng.
Xu Qingying looked up and down at the person in front of her. His deep brown hair made his delicate face appear even fairer, while his tousled bangs gave off a casual and playful vibe. The bright red coat paired with a white shirt and vintage bright red flared pants clearly exuded a sense of nostalgia, yet he interpreted it with an air of sophistication and nonchalance
Xu Qingying was about to explain when Jin Bei squeezed over and said, "Everyone, listen to me. The program has changed. We now need to record the next game. Xu Qingying, Peng Peng, Su Miaona, and Wang Anqi will go as representatives, and there is no need to disassemble the microphones. The rest of you can go back and rest for now"
Xu Qingying smiled apologetically and couldn't help but raise her hands above her head: "I promise to give it my all and not bring shame to the group"
Xu Qingying stared blankly as Su Miaona walked over to the host, her smile appearing full of vitality
Oh, the director truly cares for me, specially calling a group of beautiful women to welcome me
With a vision of 5.2, Xu Qingying swore that the first thing she saw was a group of bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black suits. Even more exaggerated was that each bodyguard had an earpiece hanging from their ear. As the director approached, one bodyguard actually waved his hand and nearly sent the director flying!
"Let’s go!" Peng Peng was the first to turn and walk towards the stage, followed by the members who stepped forward with firm strides
The Hawaiian uncle chased after him while directing the bodyguards in black to clear the way ahead
It seems that the program director made a last-minute decision. We are newcomers and can only follow the director's intentions for now, as we must cherish every opportunity to appear on the show. Jin Bei explained while leading them through the backstage towards the adjacent studio.
Director, why do we have to do this game? Why is it only us, the Pinkgirls, who have to endure such hardships in this game, and now we have to endure it once more? Xu Qingying's voice trembled slightly; she was not a bold or straightforward person, but she could not bear to see her friends suffer these difficulties.
A plump middle-aged man dressed in an orange Hawaiian shirt paired with white shorts stepped out. Glancing sideways at the director who had been pushed aside, he delicately raised his fingers and said softly, "Director Guo, you mustn't say that. Our Du Mo has always been eager to appear on your show. To maintain the best condition, he even went to the beauty salon for styling right after finishing filming. You can rest assured, as long as our Du Mo is here, the show's ratings will definitely soar!" He delicately raised his fingers and said softly, "Director Guo, you mustn't say that. Our Du Mo has always been eager to appear on your show. To maintain the best condition, he even went to the beauty salon for styling right after finishing filming. You can rest assured, as long as our Du Mo is here, the show's ratings will definitely soar!"
It seems that the captain of Pinkgirls is also unable to handle this level; the so-called energetic girl is nothing more than this. Is there anyone else willing to give it a try
The blue sea gently enveloped them, as if a great treasure lay hidden within, with brilliance, dreams, and rewards seemingly just within reach
The arriving "Flour People" Su Miaona and Peng Peng continuously apologized to the director: "We are sorry, we are sorry, we know the director has good intentions, and we, the Pinkgirls, will definitely work hard to continue filming"
Peng Peng patted Xu Qingying and then organized everyone together to form a circle: "We have been practicing for so long, and no matter what, we must give it our all. You all need to understand that we are Pinkgirls, we are a whole, and only when each of us performs well can the group excel"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Su Miaona, who was sitting next to Xu Qingying, raised her hand
Now is the beginning of youth, we walk barefoot on the beach, enjoying the sunlight, the sea, and the gentle breeze, O running girl, lift your white skirt...
As the voice fell, a tall young man emerged from behind the Hawaiian uncle, his black sunglasses with golden edges obscuring much of his face, yet failing to conceal his sculpted features and crimson lips
