At first, Qiao Sixiao was stunned by Qin Wei's behavior, but the scene was really lively and joyful, and with the influence of Qin Wei's emotions, Qiao Sixiao naturally joined in.
As Qin Wei waved her hand, she shouted:
"Buzz Lightyear!!"
"Ahhhh! Strawberry Bear!! Mommy loves you! Strawberry Bear look at me, look at me, look at me!"
Qin Wei was the most enthusiastic supporter on the whole street.
Livestream comments:
【My sister's voice is wasted if she doesn't chase stars】
【Idol fanclub voice】
【Haha she did pick Strawberry Bear hahaha】
...
From the afternoon parade to the evening, Qin Wei completely let herself go, not only going everywhere with Qiao Sixiao to interact with Disney friends, but also taking all kinds of photos wanting autographs.
The previous restraint was completely gone, the entire park had become her home court.
Unknowingly it was almost evening, planning to watch the fireworks then rush to catch the plane home. While waiting for the fireworks, Qiao Sixiao said she wanted to rest for a while, then handed her mic to the staff to charge it.
With no one paying attention, Qiao Sixiao said to Qin Wei:
"I'm looking over a script recently. Qin Wei, do you have any roles to act in the second half of the year?"
"Here we go again."
Without the pressure of the cameras, Qin Wei glared at her and enunciated clearly:
"Of course not."
Qiao Sixiao didn't joke with her, but said very seriously:
"I have a story here, adapted from a novel, that I think has a role that might suit you. Go back and take a look at the novel first, it's called 'Burning Stars', if you like it, I'll recommend you."
Qin Wei didn't say anything. The problem was she had no experience, she couldn't act.
But she couldn't say that out loud. The original owner had won acting awards before, although she had become more and more perfunctory in her performances in recent years, her skills hadn't deteriorated to the level of a complete amateur. But for Qin Wei, this was a whole new territory.
She had to admit, while she talked about not wanting to stay in the industry and retire, part of the reason was also this - awe. She needed to approach every industry with awe, after all the original owner was an actress, while she herself knew nothing about the acting profession.
Whenever she thought of these things, it would stir up complex and heavy feelings.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Qiao Sixiao patiently persuaded her:
"Being on these variety shows too much is not good for an actress, I'm not denying the usefulness of variety shows for gaining fans, making money and having options, but it's not a long-term solution... I don't need to spell out the details, you understand. You still need to act, think about it?"
The more she said these things, the more annoyed Qin Wei felt. She responded perfunctorily with a few words, but didn't expect Qiao Sixiao to keep pressing on.
The two ended up snapping at each other in aggravation.
Their emotions were so heated that they didn't even notice the fireworks had started, until they were well underway.
Although it wasn't livestreamed, there were lots of people around, no one could make out what they were arguing about due to the noisy surroundings, but this video still made its way online and predictably went viral.
The fans who saw it lamented -
【They were arguing under the fireworks】
...
Although Qin Wei was a bit over the top, Li Yao worried all day. But the livestream data for the day far exceeded the organizer's projections. Not only that, the two celebrities' ability to sell products was also pretty good, the hairbands they promoted quickly sold out.
On top of that, good things kept happening. A well-known sporting goods brand contacted Li Yao, saying they appreciated Qin Wei's vitality and thought she could consider becoming their brand ambassador.
Qin Wei didn't know about all this yet. She went home on the plane and slept straight through the night, it was her soundest sleep this whole month, she didn't even dream, sleeping until morning.
...
The original plan was to sleep until she naturally woke up, but before 8am the phone kept ringing relentlessly. No matter how many times she declined the call it kept coming through, forcing her to eventually pick up.
"Good morning my dear, I deliberately didn't disturb you, you've naturally woken now right? I have something to discuss with you..."
"Li Yao, if this isn't some world-ending important news, I won't be able to control the knife in my hand!"
Li Yao held the phone further away from his ear.
He could feel her intense killing intent through the phone.
Li Yao carefully said.
"There's...a new endorsement...sports brand, they said they appreciate your vitality..."
"I'm a nobody, not a tuna, what vitality? Piss off, I'm not going! Even if the king of heaven comes I'm resting today!"
"Seven...digits..."
There was a long silence on the phone.
Li Yao thought she had fallen asleep again, and was about to hang up and go pick her up directly, when suddenly there was noise from her end:
"Oh I'm ready now, where shall we meet up?"
Li Yao: "!!!"
Li Yao said:
"No rush!! Don't just throw on a t-shirt and go out, wait for me, I'm coming over to get you now!!"
...
The imagined vacation after the concert ended up hurriedly cut short. She had a blast playing at the theme park on the first day, then on the second day she unexpectedly got a decent endorsement offer. These were both good things, but tiring nonetheless.
After signing for the endorsement, she sat through an incomprehensible meeting with Li Yao, then rushed back to the show's studio.
Luckily she arrived on time.
That evening the show team was going to re-shuffle the groups, based on everyone's overall scores to date to create new rankings.
The initial seventy people had now been reduced to sixty, still split into six groups.
Some celebrities couldn't make it back today due to other jobs, Qin Wei roughly looked around and didn't see Qiao Sixiao.
The host Yang Xiao walked in and said to all the female celebrities present:
"Soon the big screen will display our new groupings for all members, as well as the songs assigned to each group. As our competition format keeps advancing, the games each time will be slightly different.
During the broadcast we've also received feedback from some viewers that we'll carefully consider, thank you everyone for your attention!"
Qin Wei muttered:
"I hope the production team doesn't insist on livestreaming anymore, I even anonymously gave feedback hoping they'll consider it..."
Sitting next to her, Sun Tiantian said even more softly to Qin Wei:
"I also hope for less mandated interactions and more practice time...that one song nearly danced me into mental illness, I was even dreaming about dancing it perfectly last night..."
Sitting behind them, Zhao Jun also overheard and kept nodding in agreement, then leaned over to add:
"And I hope we can stay in the same group..."
Their gossip didn't stop them from eyeing the results. The big screen started displaying the groupings.
Unsurprisingly, Qiao Sixiao remained in Group A, Si Yu entered Group A, while Xin Ya dropped down to Group B. The rest were unchanged.
With so many people, Qin Wei didn't pay much attention to the other groups, only checking that she herself had been placed into Group D this time.
Also somewhat of an improvement...
For some reason, there was still a tiny bit of disappointment in her heart...
"Weiwei, we're in the same group again!"
Seeing her grouping, Sun Tiantian squeezed Qin Wei's arm happily,
"Not only that, the Three Vocal Kings are also with us, Yao Ying went to Group E... Our group has improved so much, it's just a pity Li Ruyi is still in Group F...it's probably mainly an issue of popularity..."
Qin Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, she knew everyone in her small group, they weren't difficult people to get along with, plus she was finally far away from Lin Qiqi, which for her was a good thing.
