Qin Wei forgot the words.
Qin Wei looked at her teammates embarrassedly.
Her teammates were also stunned for a moment, thinking of her excellent performance yesterday, and unintentionally raised their expectations of her. In addition, she was originally an actress, so they naturally felt that she would be fine.
This level is too simple and can be passed in one go.
Wei Lai made up for Qin Wei:
"Her lines are from The Merchant of Venice which are indeed a bit convoluted. I may not be able to pass it in one go either."
Li Hanming nodded slightly. Although they had to start over again, he didn’t have any complaints and silently asked for the lines to restart.
In the second time, it got stuck when it came to Qin Wei.
It doesn’t matter, let’s come again for the third time. As a result, none of them were smooth in the third time...
Alright, it doesn’t matter. Encountering NGs is common, just need to adjust the mentality when it happens and start over from the beginning.
Before the fourth time, Qiao Sixiao suggested letting Qin Wei go first. She had the most problems and had become a bug in this game. It didn’t matter if he did it over and over again. After all, he was already used to it.
It would be best if she could pass first and avoid Li Hanming from restarting over and over.
However, the program team did not agree. They chose such difficult and somewhat deviant lines, not to show everyone's profound line skills or excellent memory, but so that the audience could watch their embarrassing state when something went wrong.
If they passed it in one go, what would be left to watch?
There was no way, they could only start over again.
Qin Wei also felt very guilty and kept bowing to Li Hanming to apologize. Fortunately, Li Hanming did not feel angry. First, he was used to it from filming, and second, Qin Wei was his good friend, so he would not care about it.
Sticking to it was not a solution either. Qiao Sixiao had to take her lines and go through them line by line with her.
Some of the lines were indeed convoluted when said out loud, but when you understand the logic behind them, it becomes much simpler.
The fourth time.
When it came to Qin Wei, it was a little halting, but she still completed it. Li Hanming felt it was very difficult and applauded her efforts.
Wei Lai, who was at the end after Qin Wei, was the least participatory the whole time, so she never had a chance to speak.
Now success or failure depended on her...
Everyone was very nervous, even their breathing was careful. If Wei Lai got the words wrong or forgot them, they would have to restart, and then think of Qin Wei's line bug, they would probably get stuck on this level for the whole day...
Wei Lai: "The four seas are distant, the five continents are vast. Transcending life and death and time, meeting you is heaven's arrangement."
Staff: "All correct!"
Qin Wei: "?"
Qin Wei: "That's it?"
Wei Lai nodded. She didn't know why either, she just got this one line.
While the others got long and tedious parts, she only got one sentence?
Shocked, speechless, unfair!
Qin Wei was about to say something when Qiao Sixiao pulled her back:
"Calm down, Wei Lai is a teammate. If we have to restart again, think about Li Hanming..."
Li Hanming swallowed beside them.
Of course Qin Wei didn't want to restart either. She didn't even think about protesting, she just wanted to ask why the treatment was so different.
"Did you invest in the crew?" Qin Wei asked Wei Lai softly.
Wei Lai's mouth twitched.
"Shouldn't there be more words if you invest in the crew??"
...
In any case, stumbling along, they managed to get through this level.
After a short break, they continued with the plot below—
Those two denied that they came with Qin Wei. Li Hanming asked Qin Wei,
"It's just a coincidence, a coincidence."
Well, not exactly...
Qin Wei had no rebuttal to this.
Explaining their purpose and reporting their names, Boss Sun took out a locked box from behind the counter and handed it to Qin Wei along with a book.
"The book was bought by Mr. Xu here some days ago. One day a child brought this box, saying it was Mr. Xu's belonging. He said that someone would come to take both the book and box away together. It looks like Mr. Xu intended for Ms. Qin to come and take them. Please take them!"
Qin Wei took the box and saw that it had a lock.
[Complete the next task to win...]
Qin Wei twisted the lock forcefully and unexpectedly broke off the latch.
Qin Wei: "?"
Director: "..."
Props master: "..."
[Task completed, continue with plot]
Qin Wei muttered softly, "Am I naturally strong?"
Wei Lai silently picked up the lock latch that had fallen to the ground:
"No, the sheet metal here is too thin..."
Li Hanming whispered to Qiao Sixiao:
"Isn't breaking props a violation of the rules?"
Qiao Sixiao shook his head:
"She has eaten quite a few props too...but I haven't seen the program team say anything about it..."
The director was watching on the monitor and asked his assistant to bring his blood pressure medication, while massaging his own face to make himself more alert.
Although their show was not broadcast live and would have post editing later, their crew’s principle was that all processes had to pass in one take. Even if the actors messed up during the storyline, they had to figure out a way to get back on track themselves. They would not restart.
What they wanted to achieve was the highest degree of freedom possible.
Therefore, when selecting guests, they had to comprehensively consider whether entertainers had on-camera appeal, variety show wit, acting experience, popularity and other factors.
Although Qin Wei was recommended by someone else, the director still had to nod his head before she was approved. Now, no matter how she performed, he had to bear with it.
Like right now.
"Or...let's touch up this part a little during post-production editing later to make the storyline more reasonable?"
The director asked his assistant.
The assistant checked with the work group on his phone and shook his head after a while:
"The big boss investors all said not to forget the original intention of the show. Nowadays there are too many variety shows with malicious editing that take things out of context just for impact. It’s precisely because they see our authenticity that they invested money...
Director, think of it this way, Teacher Qin's performance here is lame, but her variety show wit is full!"
The director ignored the assistant and just kept urging his colleague who went to get the medicine to hurry up and bring it to him.
...
Later when it was broadcast, this part similarly stunned all netizens (Note: It's recorded broadcast, comments made ahead of time are for reading continuity...)——
【Not bad for the first episode, now that it's her expertise how come she can't do it instead? Qin Jie's lines are subpar!】
【Didn't Wei Lai say, the lines in The Merchant of Venice are quite convoluted indeed. Also, even if it's filmed on site, they don't give the lines on site right? Qin Jie hasn't filmed anything for quite a while, no one looked for her in the past, but now?】
【Casting for Star Blaze is finished, they’re raising funds now. Insiders revealed she’s in it, but there’s high variability with roles. No one knows till filming starts on the day itself. 】
【Even if filming starts, it depends on how capital plays out!】
【Stop talking irrelevant stuff! Isn’t this segment funny? Lu E (Wei Lai) displayed great prowess and completed the task in one second!】
【This show has a record board, all kinds of broken records will be included in history. I bet my sister's one second completion of the task will be permanently inscribed!】
【She almost ran Lu E silly yesterday...won’t torture her like this anymore later right, feel bad for her...】
【Those who can say this must not be old fans, old fans all know she’s the Olympic long distance seed player, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood member of the Imperial Capital Division, Altaïr (Assassin’s Creed game character) of Haidian District】
【Parkour and chase scene expert, really chased and caught a thief in Rome! 】
【Looks like everyone has seen Star Star huh hahahaha】
【Did I remember wrongly? Doesn’t everyone call her Haidian Ezio (Assassin’s Creed game character)?】
