The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 72

"No," Shen Kai denied with a cold face and was about to put down the tablet when a cheer erupted from the livestream.

His hand paused for a moment before eventually deciding not to put it down.

The lights dimmed and the people on site also gradually quieted down. On stage, a spotlight shone down with Qin Wei already seated in the center.

Dressed the same as before, Qin Wei was still wearing a black strapless dress with a black shirt. The only addition was a black silk veil that covered half her face like the beauties in historical dramas, leaving only her smiling eyes visible.

The HD camera zoomed in for a close up. Qin Wei's eye makeup was exquisite but not overdone, seductive and charming with an exotic flair.

Live comments:

【What dance is she going to do?】

【u1s1, this look is quite good, a mix of Chinese and Western? Visually impactful.】

【I feel like Sister Qin is about to do something big.】

【Go Lü E, mom loves you!!】

【Qin Wei, fly free, Wei wind forever follows!】

【Qin jie's eye makeup is amazing, hope there's a tutorial later】

【Those in front remember to notify me, I want to have it too】

【My god, I'm already obsessed】

【You can always trust Sister Qin on aura and style, awesome!】

...

Once the venue quieted, she stood up and bowed slightly, then took an erhu from a staff member.

An erhu?

Er? Hu?

Shen Kai's brows furrowed. What was this woman trying to do?

At the same time, the live comments filled with question marks —

【???】

【???????】

【?】

...

Qin Wei's performance began.

The melodious erhu sounds resonated throughout the venue. Qin Wei played with complete focus and sincerity, stunning everyone into silence.

Comments:

【This tune is a bit familiar...】

【If the world was dark, I would actually be beautiful...remember the previous line?】

【Ugly freak!】

【Ugly freak +1】

【Hahaha is Sister Qin calling someone an ugly freak over there? Hilarious!】

【Haha in my eyes you're all ugly freaks】

【Qin jie: Don't take it personally, everyone here is an ugly freak】

【Hahaha is Sister Qin pranking us?】

...

Oh this... Even Shen Kai was stunned. What was going on? This was a good opportunity, yet she was fooling around on stage!

The livestream continued with Qin Wei playing Teacher Xue's "Ugly Freak" on erhu.

But what was the point of this?

Qin Wei pulled the bowstring, changing the tune as she transitioned into the next song.

Before Shen Kai could figure out what was happening, enthusiastic applause suddenly erupted from the audience. Everyone seemed thrilled and kept clapping.

Beside Shen Kai, Little Jin couldn't help but yell:

"Amazing!"

The judges were also dumbfounded.

Shen Kai still didn't understand and turned to Little Jin confusedly.

Little Jin restrained himself and covered his mouth to indicate he would stay quiet.

Comments:

【lovethemefromTIGA!? Sister Qin has good taste!】

【Sister Qin is definitely here to prank us today!!】

【Prank queen celebrity Qin Wei, I'm officially her fan starting today】

【Worthy of the woman I believed in, she didn't disappoint】

【? Don't understand, can someone explain?】

【《lovethemefromTIGA》 is an insert song from Ultraman Tiga I think. People probably didn't expect someone of Sister Qin's aura to touch on this area, but turns out Sister Qin is also a secondary otaku】

【That year, I turned into light~】

【Sister Qin tried very hard but erhu just sounds...serene (not really) for this song】

【Awesome crossover】

【Tiga sounds very peaceful, but I'm getting more and more excited listening】

【Do you believe in light?】

...

The director was also a bit confused and didn't hear anything special. Looking over, the young staff were also watching the monitor excitedly.

"Is this segment very exciting?"

The director couldn't help asking.

A production assistant looked earnestly at the director:

"Director Li, do you believe in light?"

......

After the song ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The live view count also peaked, instantly shooting Qin Wei up the real-time popularity chart and trending topics #1 —

#Qin Wei happy comedian#

#Qin Wei prankster uploader#

#Qin Wei erhu blows up the scene#

#Skip the Spring Gala without Qin Wei's skits#

#Qin Wei Tiga#

...

"What the hell?" Shen Kai's brows were completely furrowed.

"But it was kind of interesting..."

Backstage, Li Yao couldn't stop grinning.

He didn't expect this, didn't expect this moment to potentially become the highest point of Qin Wei's popularity and traffic in recent years!

Ten minutes ago.

After taking medicine, Qin Wei finally stopped coughing after a while, but her throat was still uncomfortable. More worryingly, the red rash stopped spreading but the patch on her chin showed no signs of fading anytime soon.

This panicked Li Yao, who still felt like it was all over.

"My ancestor, give up ba."

Qin Wei ignored him and kept examining herself in the mirror, discussing something with the stylist before sitting down to get her hair and makeup done.

There were 5 minutes left. That rash definitely wouldn't go away. Li Yao didn't know what desperate struggle she was still putting up.

Qin Wei glanced at Li Yao:

"Stop standing there stunned, go find the TV station staff and relay what I'm about to tell you."

...

Thinking of this, Li Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although he didn't understand what Qin Wei was doing, the effect was clearly very good.

Just feeling happy, Qin Wei finished performing and came down too.

Li Yao immediately went up, unable to hide his delight:

"My dear ancestor, you really are my ancestor. I didn't expect you to turn the situation around like this at the last moment, amazing, too amazing!"

Qin Wei smiled smugly. Earlier she had Li Yao find a TV staff member to get her a decent musical instrument, best if it was a folk instrument fitting her image.

Since her costume and aura were like this, she thought Li Yao could pick up her intention and get her a pipa. She even thought of some exotic songs to play.

But this guy brought her an erhu.

Really overestimated their tacit understanding...

No time to change, luckily she knew some erhu too, but "Horse Race" was too popular for that "wow" factor.

Walking on stage, Qin Wei finally decided on her performance songs.

More accurately, it was when she sat down and picked up the bow that she confirmed the songs.

Because she noticed the audience during the livestream, plus the online commentary's interests based on their homepages. Qin Wei realized most of them were young people, more exposed to novel things and familiar with various subcultures. Choosing this would definitely work.

Big contrast, strong impact.

Catering to young people's tastes will make them help spread it for you.

Qin Wei grasped the "traffic password" aspect.

Reporters also smelled potential traffic and squatted outside to wait for Qin Wei even late into the night.
