Chapter 15: The Stage Presence of Su Yuqing

"Exaggerating, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of God He?"

"Su Yuqing's only asset is her face, just hope she doesn't sing off-key or ruin God He's performance."

"Exactly, if she drags down my baby, I'm going to flip out!"

"Tell me, who have you come for?" Qi Ming extended the microphone to the audience.

The audience was already insane, screaming one after another, "God He, God He!"

"Now, let's welcome the ones you've been waiting for, God He and his two teammates, Gu Zhan! Su Yuqing—" Qi Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere at the venue had finally returned.

"God He! God He!"

With Youhe Suyan present, even the voices of Gu Zhan's fans were drowned out.

Youhe Suyan exchanged a glance with Su Yuqing before stepping out first, one hand in his pocket and a smile on his face.

Su Yuqing and Gu Zhan stood to his left and right.

Swish—

The spotlight suddenly shone over.

Director Lin's camerawork was sensational; with him around, guests didn't have to worry about lighting at all.

Aglow with radiant beauty, whether it was on-site or online, everyone instinctively held their breath.

"Hello everyone, I am He Suyan."

"Hello everyone, I am Su Yuqing."

"I am Gu Zhan."

Only when the three voices sounded.

"We are looking forward to your performance. Are you ready?" Qi Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He Suyan, his idol!

"We're ready," He Suyan adjusted the mic and chuckled.

Ah! The venue erupted into screams again.

The lights dimmed, barely revealing their positions.

Swish—

The first musical note sounded, a beam of light hit, and Gu Zhan began to dance.

The first highlight belonged to him.

Wearing a mic, he lifted his head in an instant, his gaze changed, some people were simply born for the stage.

The dance lead of the boy band was not just an empty title.

Every move he made was precisely controlled.

"My god, this is a visual feast, what was I even watching before?"

"Talk about the disparity in artistic talent!"

In the production room, the staff and Director Lin were also very satisfied. The professional level was there.

However, it was still affecting him, the swing and turn from earlier clearly caused a change in his complexion.

As Gu Zhan's dance ended, what came next was Su Yuqing's singing.

The pure English pronunciation, slightly husky yet not lacking a clear tone, rose with the bright white lights, causing everyone instinctively to look over, then stunned.

Was Su Yuqing's singing always this good?

A couple of lyrics, followed by the dance; their song's choreography leaned towards modern dance, but also included elements of street dance.

Looking back, raising a leg, hooking a foot...

She danced like a sprite under the starry sky, surrounded by darkness, with only the beams of light near her.

She was all-in, she wanted to escape, she was not content...

Swish, the music changed!

The drumbeat sped up, became fragmented, and the singing carried an urgency.

Suddenly, a golden light shone through.

He Suyan, like a deity, his deep and powerful singing voice filled with hope and vigor, as was his dance.

He reached Su Yuqing's side.

Together, they struggled, broke through, escaped.

Whoosh—

It was as if something shattered, and Gu Zhan appeared on the opposite side of them.

Behind him seemed to be an endless darkness.

The three's ultimate tug-of-war, the collision of song and dance.

Until the last note fell, the last dance move ended, the three of them stopped.

Their faces were filled with hope and rebirth, a breakthrough from darkness into light.

The venue fell silent for a moment before erupting with applause and cheers, unlike anything that had come before.

This stage performance was completely unexpected.

The stage presence of the three performers left everyone in awe.

Director Lin's eyes were dark with surprise, where did such a gem come from, to show such an aspect?

"The direction of the song's adaptation seems to… have been done by Su Yuqing," the assistant director said, stunned.

It was just too unbelievable.

This originally lighthearted song had been adapted into something filled with darkness, restriction, hindrance, then blossoming in the sun, breaking free to obtain freedom and a new life.

It was a perfect match for the theme of the first episode.

[Did I just see that correctly?] The barrage of comments kept coming, some couldn't believe their eyes.

[Su Yuqing... how much more about you do I not know?]

[Her stage presence is even stronger than Gu Zhan, a seasoned idol!]

[Amazing, okay? She's excellent in both singing and dancing! Who let her become an actress, damn it, it's a waste of talent!]

[Oh, she's with Huatai, and the Su Family has shares in Huatai…]

[Got it.]

[Right, I think I saw Su Yuqing's name just now below the choreography, not just Gu Zhan's…]

[You definitely saw it wrong, sister, there was also a completely new arrangement…]

[…]

"The performance just now was simply shocking!" the host excitedly approached the three of them.

"Next is the voting segment, you have one minute for pitches, who would like to start?"

You couldn't say too much before the vote.

He Suyan looked at Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing smiled faintly, the upward tilt of her eyes and her silver eyeliner captivated the audience on screen, leaving them breathless with her stunning beauty.

She shook her head; knowing how the system worked, once she started speaking, it would be a critical hit.

"Come on, Teacher Su, it's your turn for the pitch." As a qualified fan, Qi Ming felt he needed to understand God He's cues and promptly handed the microphone to Su Yuqing.

"…"

Helplessly accepting the microphone, Su Yuqing said, "Hello everyone, please vote carefully, vote for the best group."

She pointed to herself.

Gu Zhan's lips twitched slightly.

The people in the audience and others...

Seemed a bit shameless.

"Teacher Su really is direct and to the point."

"Indeed." Su Yuqing nodded.

"..." So, how was he supposed to carry on the conversation?

Qi Ming felt that today was a hurdle in his professional career!

"Hahaha..." The audience, upon realizing what had happened, burst into laughter.

Su Yuqing's candidness suddenly made her appear a tad adorable.

The host quickly took over and said a few words, then let the audience cast their votes. The results would be announced at the end, and He Suyan and the others left the stage.

Backstage, just as Gu Zhan was about to speak, Su Yuqing looked at him with furrowed brows, "How is your hand?"

"What's up? Gu Zhan, what's wrong with your hand?" Gu Zhan's agent's face changed color.

"It's nothing, just a fracture." The stage performance went so well that Gu Zhan had neglected his hand.

A fracture? Just that?

She hurriedly took Gu Zhan to the hospital, while He Suyan and Su Yuqing returned to the dressing room.

"Fu Jin has already obtained your financial contract from Huatai," Su Yuqing was removing her makeup when He Suyan returned after stepping out for a few minutes.

"How much was the breach of contract fee?" Su Yuqing paused.

She knew exactly how unfair her financial contract was.

"There was no fee, it was handed over by the Su Family," He Suyan chuckled softly.

"What leverage do you hold over the Su Family?" The Su Family couldn't compare with the He Family, but they also wouldn't let her go easily, especially her mother.
