NFBE Chapter 132 Rehearsal
Chapter 132 Rehearsal
On Monday, the rehearsal for the second performance officially began. Compared with the livehouse-style stage last time, this stage was obviously much larger. This was not good news for Wei Zhe'an and his team.
When they walked into the studio, Wei Zhe'an keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Their stage style tends to be small-stage, and the carefully designed setting of puppeteers controlling five puppets makes the performance more focused.
However, this large stage threatens to make their performance seem empty and lose its original cohesion.
The dance movements and choreography have already been determined, and it is obviously unrealistic to make changes at this time.
Therefore, they could only go to the stage design teacher together with Group B to discuss, hoping to use props to fill the gaps on the stage and draw the audience's attention back to them.
The captain of Group B showed a strong sense of responsibility and followed up the whole process, while Group A, where Wei Zhe'an was located, had several people taking turns to be responsible for this matter.
Since everyone has different ideas, when someone else takes over, they will come up with new ideas. In the end, the stage designer can only directly express that he hopes they can discuss a unified plan.
The simultaneous presence of dry ice, bubbles, and fireworks on the stage will only distract the audience further and prevent them from focusing on their performance.
Liu Ming, the captain of Group A, although nominally the captain, did not actually play the role he should have. Wei Zhe'an no longer had any expectations for him and only hoped that he could complete his part well.
Finally, after discussion, the remaining four decided to use dry ice as the main stage effect, which was more in line with their stage style and could better create the atmosphere they wanted.
After a series of twists and turns, the stage design was finally settled. However, just as they began rehearsals, new problems arose.
This time, their stage had a control group, which made the strengths and weaknesses of their performance clear at a glance.
The biggest problem Group A is currently facing is the inconsistency of team style.
Zhao Pengyu, who was in the C position, was obviously unable to hold up the entire stage, and his performance style was incompatible with other members.
The same dance moves, performed by Zhao Pengyu, seemed lazy and lacked energy and tension. Therefore, during their rehearsal, the instructor had to stop them several times.
"Stop for a moment, thank you for your hard work, sound teacher." Wang Lexuan was holding a microphone in the audience and gestured to the people on the stage to pause. His words were full of helplessness and anxiety.
The people on the stage stopped their movements, panting, and stood there waiting for the instructor's instructions. They knew that the problem this time might be more serious.
Wang Lexuan began to point out their problems one by one: "Fang Zizhen, didn't you notice that your special effects were positioned incorrectly? And you have to stand in the middle of the beam, and pay attention to your position when dancing. You can't expect the lighting teacher to stare at you the whole time, right?"
Then he turned to Zhao Pengyu: "How about your expression management? In the early stage you were a puppet, a marionette, without expression and mechanical feeling, you know? Why are your eyes moving around? Can you put some strength into your movements? Now you don't look like a puppet, but more like a rag doll. Why are you so limp?" His words were full of disappointment and dissatisfaction.
Finally, he turned to Liu Ming: "The whole rhythm of your part is messed up, and the sound is too soft. Can you hear your own voice in the earphone monitor?" He questioned the captain of Group A.
Wang Lexuan's criticism silenced the members of Group A. They knew that the performance would be held next Monday, and they were clearly not in a good condition to go on stage. Everyone felt unprecedented pressure.
"Can you be more serious?" Wang Lexuan's words were like a thunder, exploding in their hearts.
Wei Zhe'an stood at the highest point of the stage, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust his mentality.
The bright lights on the stage made it difficult for him to open his eyes. Although he couldn't see Wang Lexuan's expression clearly, he could feel from the tutor's tone that the other party was quite angry.
At this moment, Wei Zhe'an felt a little regretful. At the beginning, he gave up the position of C position or captain, originally wanting to create a more harmonious environment for the team, but now he found that he didn't even have the right to express his opinions, which made him feel very helpless.
Looking at the players on the stage who were trying hard but still encountered problems, Wei Zhe'an's anger continued to rise. Especially when he saw the performance of Zhao Pengyu and Liu Ming, he couldn't help but get angry.
This is already the second day of the live rehearsal. Although other groups also have problems with their performance, they are definitely not as many as theirs.
As the music started again, the few people started the performance again.
However, they were constantly stopped by their instructor throughout the afternoon.
Every time new problems arise, and these problems mainly focus on Zhao Pengyu and Liu Ming.
This made the other four team members feel physically and mentally exhausted. Their self-confidence was completely destroyed. Zhu Kaiyu couldn't help but started crying on the stage.
"I'm sorry, teachers. Let's stop here for today. We still need to make some adjustments." Wei Zhe'an made the decision reluctantly. All of them were close to collapse now, and if they continued to grind, there would probably be no good results.
The director sighed. She had originally had high expectations for Group A, but the actual performance disappointed her. "Okay, you guys make adjustments. The makeup rehearsal time tomorrow will be very tight, so make arrangements," she reminded them tactfully.
Wei Zhe'an and the others knew that their time today was seriously exceeded and had affected the rehearsal progress of the next group. They bowed to express their gratitude and left the stage silently.
They were not the only ones waiting in the audience. Other teams gathered in groups of two or three, whispering about something. Wei Zhe'an and the others knew that their poor performance made them too embarrassed to face the other teams, so they had to leave the studio in a hurry.
After leaving the studio, Zhu Kaiyu could no longer hold back his inner collapse and burst into tears.
His emotional fluctuations made everyone present feel distressed. Huang Liming hurriedly walked to his side, patted his back and comforted him.
Huang Liming was in an equally terrible mood.
Fang Zizheng walked silently at the end of the team, with no expression on his face and without saying a word.
"We can't go on like this, we need to talk." Wei Zhe'an's voice broke the silence. He called out to Zhao Pengyu who was hurrying in front of him, and at the same time pulled Liu Ming beside him.
Although his tone was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
The few of them returned to the practice room on the first floor in silence. The practice room was empty, with only a fixed camera quietly recording everything.
Wei Zhe'an no longer cared whether there was a camera filming or not. He didn't have time to waste on unimportant things.
