In the practice room, the girl poured sweat.
Lin Muci learned the dance steps with lightning speed and finished her part first.
When she walked over to Ling Qianhe, she saw him looking down and playing the piano.
His fingertips brushed across the piano keys.
Like a prince from a fairy tale.
"The song written for you is called 'Breaking the Fog'."
"May you all break through the mist and ride the wind and waves."
Lin Muci stared blankly at his profile. Under the dim lights, Ling Qianhe played the chords, each note resonating, as if her heart was inadvertently stirred. He paused and asked her.
"Are you still playing the drums?"
Lin Muci gritted her teeth.
"Yes!"
When the TV station staff arrived, they saw this scene.
In Ling Qianhe's exclusive practice room, the two were in perfect harmony. The girl was playing the drums with great flair, while Ling Qianhe played the piano. His fingers swept across the black and white keys, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips, like rain falling on grass, yet unexpectedly harmonious.
"Excuse me... you can go record the preview now."
Lin Muci stood up.
Ling Qianhe grabbed her wrist.
Lin Muci took a deep breath.
Ling Qianhe spoke from behind her.
"Didn't you say you wanted to become a superstar?"
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
Lin Muci's breathing was a little erratic. She nodded, then walked forward with great strides without looking back!
...
Preview recording for "Breaking the Fog".
In a dark forest.
Four young girls, like elves who had wandered into the human world.
They were agile, ethereal, with clear eyes that could see through all illusions.
The preview was filmed by Li Manman, the country's most renowned photographer.
He held the camera, exclaiming from time to time.
"Good... hold that pose! Excellent, so beautiful!"
"Immensely beautiful!"
The four girls each had their own unique charm and strengths.
Ou Ruola's high notes were ethereal and soul-stirring, followed by Han Jiuzhen's solo dance. Having been a trainee for ten years, her rhythm and timing were impeccable. Yang Weiyang was given a close-up shot, her eyes were truly incredibly lively.
Finally, it was Lin Muci's turn. She had a short solo as the forest maiden, appearing as if she had emerged from the forest herself.
Overflowing with spiritual energy.
The first main single, "Breaking the Fog," began its global preview.
It was late at night when the recording ended.
The first trip officially concluded within the studio. The second trip would be in half a month.
As Lin Muci and Yang Weiyang walked out, Yang Weiyang spoke to her ear, full of worry.
"Xiao Ci, my drama might be going head-to-head with Lu Keke's drama, what should we do?"
"Hers is a grand Xianxia production, and the male lead is Ke Haiyang!"
Lin Muci comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, your drama will definitely win."
As soon as Lin Muci finished speaking, a sarcastic voice echoed in her ears.
"What a bold statement!"
"You actually think Yang Weiyang's drama can win? It's just a small-budget historical drama, how could it possibly win against our carefully polished script? Heh, it's truly laughable!"
Lin Muci frowned.
Opposite Yang Weiyang, Lu Keke, accompanied by several staff members, emerged as if she had traveled through stars and moon.
She was at the TV station for promotions today.
She hadn't expected to overhear the conversation between Yang Weiyang and Lin Muci. She was already furious about losing her debut match to Lin Muci's team, and now hearing Yang Weiyang and Lin Muci say this.
She walked over directly and pointed at Lin Muci's nose, scolding her.
"Don't think you can win!"
Lin Muci's brow furrowed.
"What did you say?"
Lu Keke tilted her head up, looking at people almost from under her chin.
"I said, your team, except for you, are all a bunch of losers, don't even think about winning!"
"Who does Yang Weiyang think she is? A nobody with no background and no ability. You, Lin Muci, have some skill and managed to connect with the popular actress Zhao Lan, but Yang Weiyang's small-budget online drama can't possibly be broadcast on a satellite channel, and it can't possibly win against my drama!"
"We'll see."
"This industry isn't as simple as you think."
"If her show clashes with mine, I will make you cry your eyes out."
"Her drama will become cannon fodder, crushed by mine, not even a wisp of smoke will be able to escape!"
She was extremely arrogant.
"We have the popular male star Ke Haiyang... and I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm his girlfriend now. Hmph, once the drama is released, I'll create a CP with him, what chance will you have then?"
Yang Weiyang was so nervous her chin trembled.
"She's so arrogant..."
Yang Weiyang was truly scared.
Lin Muci's gaze slowly fell on Lu Keke. Lu Keke's proud expression met her eyes, and a faint smile bloomed on her lips.
"Is that so?"
"You seem quite confident."
Lu Keke's eyes were almost spitting fire with anger.
"I lost my debut to you, I must get my revenge."
Lin Muci hummed.
"Whatever you say. But Ke Haiyang, that kind of trash, I didn't expect anyone would fight over him, it's truly... tsk tsk."
Her eyes held a hint of mockery.
Lu Keke became even more enraged!
How dare Lin Muci be so arrogant?
...
After Lu Keke left, Yang Weiyang lightly tugged at Lin Muci's arm, looking a bit scared. Lin Muci heard Yang Weiyang say cautiously.
"Xiao Ci... what should we do?"
Yang Weiyang sniffled, on the verge of tears.
"Xiao Ci, if our drama really goes head-to-head with hers, she'll definitely use her connections to suppress me relentlessly."
She knew their crew was small-budget. Although the production was exquisite, the actors were all newcomers, with only a few veteran actors holding the fort. They couldn't compare to Lu Keke's side, which had top stars. The more she thought about it, the more scared Yang Weiyang became.
Lin Muci's expression remained unchanged, her composure as steady as a mountain.
"What's there to fear?"
"Whether her drama can even be aired is uncertain."
Counting the time.
It seemed Ke Haiyang's side was about to have trouble too, wasn't it?
Lu Keke was still being arrogant, claiming she and Ke Haiyang were a CP?
She had better not end up in jail because of Ke Haiyang!
Lin Muci comforted her good friend Yang Weiyang. As she walked out the door, she unexpectedly glimpsed a young boy standing outside the TV station. The moment he saw her, he stared at her, flustered, wanting to say something but hesitating.
It was her classmate.
Zhou Yuan'an.
The tall boy now looked like a drenched stray dog after a downpour. His eyes were reddening as he looked at her. Lin Muci heard him say.
"Xiao Ci, my mommy... my mommy is spitting blood again!"
"What should I do?"
Lin Muci immediately made a decision.
"I'll go over now."
There was no time. She had to upgrade her medical skills to level two as soon as possible to save people!
