My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 168: Not a gift, but shock!

[Pretty Girls are finally here. They indeed deserve to be the show stoppers. Just look at their visuals. Who can beat them in terms of looks?]

[ OMG!! Rin Rin is so beautiful. She is such a goddess. How can someone be so beautiful and talented at the same time? She was given the nation’s girlfriend title for a reason.]

[ No one can beat them in terms of visuals. Now I know why The Knights and Pretty Girls debuted separately, because ‘The Knights’ is a group of uglies while The Pretty Girls are known for visuals. The Knights can never compete with Pretty Girls in terms of looks.]

[Yeah right. Pretty Girls are pretty with no talent. We don’t want The Knights to compete with someone who only holds looks and no talent.]

[I am curious to see how their performance gonna be. I like The Knight’s performance and their song is so catchy and powerful. Since Pretty Girls are from the same company as well, I am curious about their performance too. Pretty Girls, Fighting.]

The comments were filled with mixed reactions to Pretty Girls’ live stage. The girls took their positions on the stage, ready to perform.

Wang Meili who was standing backstage glanced at Xu Nuan who was standing beside her with a mysterious smile on her face.

.....

‘What did she mean by a gift? She is not planning, is she?’ She pursed her lips and couldn’t’ help but keep thinking about her provocative words.

–

When the music started, the girls started performing. The song was radiant and cheerful. The choreography was filled with feminine, cute gestures that can melt one’s heart. If The Knights’ performance was powerful, full of strong movements, Pretty Girls’ performance was a cute and bright one.

–

In the production room, the man who was in charge of playing the background music was checking the monitor and was relieved since it was the last performance of the day and everything went smoothly. The knights even managed the broadcasting accident professionally, which saved his job.

However, his expressions turned pale when his system that was working fine, suddenly became unresponsive. The error stopped the system from working and he couldn’t help but grumble in worry, ” What’s..happening? How can it stop suddenly?” He was speechless as despite the troubleshooting methods, the error didn’t go away and the music that was being played on the stage was stopped, causing another broadcasting accident.

The song was at the climax, Rin Rin was standing in the center and started her signature high note when the music suddenly stopped. The cameraman and staff were shocked once again as this kind of accident which rarely happens at their show happened twice a day. However, since The Knights handled it very well, they were less worried about Pretty Girls since both groups belong to the same company and they were expecting the same professionalism from them as well.

[ Music stopped again? Are pretty Girls gonna perform without music? I am so happy. Our ears are gonna be blessed.]

[Pretty Girls, Fighting. We want to hear your heavenly voices. Waiting].

In a second, numerous comments showed up in the live chat. The production staff sitting in the monitor room was trying to fix the error to resume the music but they were also relieved to see the reaction of the people, however, when they saw the video of the stage from the monitor, they were shocked.

–

The girls were shocked and froze on the spot when the music stopped. They didn’t continue the song and stood there awkwardly, looking at everyone. Rin Rin who had started to do her high note but was interrupted when the music stopped, her complexion turned pale as she looked at the camera nervously. Her grip on her mic tightened as she looked at the people in the audience who were cheering for her but she just looked at them with trembling lips.

[ What? Why is she isn’t singing? Is there a problem with her mic?]

[ Why no one else is coming front to help her and continue the song? Just like Lai Yi helped Song Ai earlier. Don’t tell me...they were lip-syncing for the live performance?]

[Lip Syncing for the Live performance?]

The music was restored after a few seconds and it started with the other girl’s line and because of it, Rin Rin has to change the spots with the other girl. During the remaining performance, the people were silent and were staring at them strangely.

Wang Meili’s eyes widened in shock, her lips were shut tightly. She turned to Xu Nuan who was looking at the stage in surprise as she was not expecting them to do lip sync for their first performance.

” You!! It was you right? Why did you do this? Are you happy ruining their performance? Xu Nuan, I never knew that you can be so cunning.” Wang Meili glared at her. Her fists were tightly clenched in anger as she was holding herself for not giving her a tight slap.

Xu Nuan breathed out tiredly and said casually, ” Well. I was just trying to give you a return gift, who would have thought that it would turn out to be a shock? I never knew that’s how the ‘Top Managers’ handle their artists. Ms. Wang, you should have known that rather than visuals, performance is what matters on stage. Rather than grooming your artist’s beauty, you should have focused on their performance. I am disappointed in you!” she shook her head disappointedly and left backstage, leaving Wamg Meili behind who was huffing in anger.

The girls managed to end the performance somehow but the audience and staff’s reaction was dull and uninteresting.

[So they were lip-syncing? I mean I am not hating them for doing this, but shouldn’t have they performed live for their debut performance? Also, lip-syncing for a competition? It’s ridiculous! Doing lip-syncing for live performance is kinda disrespectful for the audience.]

[Everyone was cheering them to continue the performance when the music was turned off and it turned out that they were lip-syncing. Hah, how embarrassing!]

[ I am their fan since the day their MV trailer was released. But I am kinda upset that rather than doing it live they chose this way to perform. Using Background music as help is fine but as a performer, they should have at least performed live. Lip syncing can be used as a way to save their energy and voice when the idols have too many schedules. They just started their career and using lip-syncing is kinda embarrassing. The other group from the same company handled the incident very well where they just stood like a mannequin.]

[It’s the broadcasting channel’s fault. They should have checked the technical problems. Why are you all hating on the girls? Generally, they make artists use Lin syncing for perfect performances. The girls have no control over it.]

[ Oh Please!! It’s not true. If that happens then ‘The Knights’ should have not done it live as well. It’s not the broadcasting channel that makes them do lip sync but either it’s the company or artists. Since The Knights are from the same company, I don’t think it’s the company. It’s either they don’t have the confidence to perform live or it’s their manager who might have forced them because both groups have different managers. It was also their debut performance, both groups are from the same company but they have different work ethics. I was a fan of Pretty Girls before but now I am switching. Bye.]
