Chapter 1518: Chapter 1236: Saving the Day Without Fully Saving the Day_2

"Wait a minute."

"I remember this time, Yan Continent drew Qin Continent as their opponent!"

"Oh crap, it’s over!"

"Is Qin Continent doomed to fail again?"

"The team representing Qin Continent this time is Wei Haoyun and Lu Sheng, a world champion singer and a top ten Maestro. Even if their stage effect is a bit lacking, it’s not a big issue; it primarily depends on the quality of the work itself."

"The problem is Yan Continent’s foundation isn’t weak either!"

"The Maestro from Yan Continent is Bai Nie, ranked eleventh among Maestros. He’s Yan Continent’s top composer, globally just one rank lower than Lu Sheng. Singer Pan Siyue is a national singer from Yan Continent, having won second place at the Blue Songlympics. She can definitely compete with Madam Haoyun, especially with stage effects in play. It’s hard to say who will win."

"Qin Continent is pitiful!"

"Hasn’t Qin Continent already lost three times in a row? Even though it’s the Land of Music, they’re always unlucky with draws, facing strong teams, and their stage effects have been lackluster. Even Yan Continent has called in Teacher Yin Yin for support."

...

The editing was quite cunning.

Once Yan Continent’s preparation was revealed, the show’s impact was instantly boosted!

Even more devious was:

Right after showing Yan Continent’s preparation, the program introduced Qin Continent’s preparation.

Lu Sheng wrote a song for Wei Haoyun called "Peacock."

And the stage effect for Qin Continent was still handled by choreographer Frank, with Yun Tingtong as the dancer.

The program deliberately gave Frank and Yun Tingtong plenty of screen time.

It seemed to intentionally inform the audience about Qin Continent’s stage effect preparations.

"Qin Continent again has these two."

"From last time’s performance, these two’s stage effect was just average."

"Indeed."

"Actually, they’ve done quite well; Yun Tingtong’s dance is strong. She’s been a dance prodigy since young, but other continents’ hired talents are even cooler, ranking higher on the dance list."

"The opponent this time is Yan Continent."

"Is Frank’s dance ’Peacock Dance’?"

"Lu Sheng’s song is called ’Peacock,’ so a peacock dance fits, but it feels like there’s no suspense. Everyone’s very familiar with the peacock dance, so it can’t create surprises."

"Let’s see how he adapts it."

"Being from Qin Continent really wears the heart out, could they please not let the dancers drag down our singers and Maestros?"

"Exactly."

"I don’t expect stage effects to add points, as long as they don’t become a burden, so Qin Continent can compete without any worries."

The requirements from Qin Continent’s audience were already quite low.

Having seen Qin Continent lose three times, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

It wasn’t just them.

The Maestros and singers of Qin Continent seemed downcast too, discussing in their room how to tackle the upcoming battle.

Just then.

Xian Yu appeared!

...

Because the show was so popular, the viewers’ comments were already numerous, but with Xian Yu’s appearance, the comments exploded beyond description.

It just blew up!

"Poof!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"Fish Papa is here, Fish Papa came to save the world!?"

"Director Tong didn’t lie to me, Fish Papa really is a guest on the show!"

"Wait a minute."

"Guest supporting Qin Continent, why doesn’t Yan Continent have a guest, isn’t this unfair?"

"There will definitely be an explanation later."

"Director Tong won’t let Fish Papa break the rules."

As expected.

Just as everyone was thinking this, Xian Yu suddenly announced that he’s not here to be a singer or a composer this time!

In front of the camera.

Xian Yu said, "Today I’d like to introduce a new identity, ranked eleventh on Blue Star’s dance chart, a dancer, Xian Yu."

Dance!?

Xian Yu!?

The audience’s initial reaction was identical to Qin Continent’s team’s, but in the next moment, everyone suddenly realized.

Indeed!

Aside from being a composer, singer, and screenwriter, Xian Yu has another role as a dancer!

And Xian Yu’s dance design and performance capability ranked eleventh on Blue Star’s dance chart is a big deal!

No matter if Yan Continent invited Yin Yin.

Xian Yu’s dance rank is slightly higher than Yin Yin’s!

Though there’s a bit of disappointment with Xian Yu not being a singer or a composer——

Ultimately, the recognition for Xian Yu among everyone remains primarily as a composer, singer, and even screenwriter——

On this stage.

Everyone wanted to witness Xian Yu dominate as a singer or composer.

Whatever, dance is ultimately just embellishment, something that enhances it, Xian Yu is too extraordinary to overpower opponents merely by dancing.

However, speaking of which.

At least Xian Yu can ensure Qin Continent’s stage effects won’t disappoint, right?

The audience quickly realized.

They had underestimated the complexity of things.

Xian Yu’s dance ranking is indeed higher than Yin Yin’s, but Qin Continent is facing a very daunting problem:

There are only three days left until the competition starts!

Xian Yu needs to design a new dance within three days, and simultaneously ensure Yun Tingtong masters it, leaving enough time for rehearsal.

The time for Qin Continent’s team is running out!

...

The program didn’t explain how Qin Continent, or rather Xian Yu, could solve the time problem, it just kept hinting to the audience that it is almost impossible for Qin Continent to make last-minute adjustments to the stage effects.

Next.

The program showed the preparation situations of other continents’ competitions respectively.

However, the audience’s attention was carried away by Xian Yu’s sudden appearance.

Swipe, swipe, swipe!

Across major online platforms.

Countless people worldwide are discussing this matter!

"Fish Papa is here!"

"What a surprise!"

"Being surprised is useless, Fish Papa isn’t here as a singer or composer, only to oversee Qin Continent’s dance, similar to Yin Yin invited by Yan Continent."

"The key is the time crunch."

"Just three days, what can be achieved?"

"Do you think it’s possible for Xian Yu to dance personally on stage?"

"Huh?"

"Seems possible, huh!"

"I feel you’re overthinking, Xian Yu can dance, but it doesn’t seem likely this time, he mentioned in the program that this song is for Yun Tingtong to dance to."

"Doesn’t matter."

"Winning or losing is no longer the point."

"Fish Papa is here, Qin Continent’s dance quality is ensured for the future."

"Dance is just dance, it doesn’t change the overall situation, Xian Yu’s talent is used in the wrong place this time; if only he participated as a composer or singer from the start."

"Coming to the rescue but not fully saving."

...

At home.

Lin Yuan also watched the program with his family.

His mom looked worried: "You don’t have enough time."

His sister was curious: "Will you perform the dance yourself on stage?"

"Woof!"

Antarctica seemed to have insight into everything.

His sister laughed: "Brother seems relaxed now, did you find a solution?"

"Big Yaoyao knows me well."

Lin Yuan stroked Big Yaoyao’s fur: "Three days is tight, but the problem is basically solved."

"Are you really going to dance?"

"Watch tomorrow’s live broadcast."

Lin Yuan teased a little mystery.

This episode features the Peacock Dance, specifically Mrs. Yang Liping’s version. It must be performed by Yun Tingtong to be most fitting, though if an opportunity arises later, Lin Yuan wouldn’t mind performing a dance on stage himself, it’s not like he hasn’t done it before.

As long as it can boost the dance ranking, that’s all that matters.

Phenomenal variety shows with global attention aren’t common.

Even if Lin Yuan dominates as a composer or singer, so be it?

The singer ranking doesn’t concern Lin Yuan, and it’s hard for him to rely on some popular songs to continue enhancing his Maestro ranking.

Instead, dance is the avenue.

He can harness the show’s popularity to wildly push a spike in data, aiming to climb to higher rankings, like the top ten, top five, or even top three. If the opportunities are plentiful enough, topping the dance chart isn’t impossible!

Speaking of which.

Tong Shuwen’s editing is quite wicked.

This episode continuously misleads the audience.

It seems like Qin Continent’s stage effects are beyond repair.

Obviously, they’ve already filmed scenes of him leading rehearsals, yet they haven’t been released to give the audience more confidence.

Let it be.

Let him mess about.

Where does the Peacock Dance stand? This is Blue Star, many famous earthly dances haven’t been showcased yet!

Tango?

Ballet?

Latin?

Tap dance?

Waltz?

Even with Blue Star, how do youthful favorites like otaku dance fare?

He can present a variety of dances without repeats to wow the world!
