Chapter 30: First Stage

Music TVs《Music Without Limits》is the most heartfelt show in China, which is slightly better than other music shows in terms of scene design or camera switching. Therefore, Xin Nanyi contacted the Music TV as early as possible and regarded《Music Without Limits》as the initial stage for Q&P’s comeback.

The curtained stage was adorned with star-like sparkling diamonds, several rectangular frames glowing at the bottom are hanging irregularly in the middle of the stage, and there were several silver tassel bead curtains hanging from the rectangles. The set at the back of the stage is also based on the MV’s title song's style, going for a brightly colored magical forest style.

The TV station staff are still conducting the final set inspection, the fans entered the studio one by one in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff and made their way through the audience.

Q&P were still in the waiting room. Generally speaking, newcomers can only share a large waiting room with other idol groups, but Q&P has been a two-year-old group and is supported by the big tree Xin Yu. Naturally, they were given a separate small waiting room.

Yu Mi and Vivian have put a lot of effort into their stage looks, not only to unify the style but also to highlight the unique characteristics of each person.

Except for Qiao Cheng, who still kept her long black hair straight, everyone else’s hairstyles or hair color have been changed in one way or another.

Qi Chaohan’s permed her hair into large curls, which are curved like a spiral that added a little more elegance and character. Her hair color was dyed sand gold, adding to her own extravagance. Her snow-white skin and blond hair contrast each other, so beautiful that it’s impossible for people to ignore. Her exaggerated white diamond-laced lantern sleeve skirt on her body was originally a long skirt. After Vivian hesitated several times, she cut it into a knee-length skirt with a “ka-cha”, which was matched with boots. The elegance was full of aggression.

Ji Chuqi also had dyed brown and big curls, but instead of letting her hair hang freely like Qi Chaohan, she tied her hair into a high ponytail, and if she moved the curled ponytail casually, it would sway playfully. Moreover, her face is very small, after tying up her hair into a high ponytail, it shows the advantages of her palm-shaped face. She is also wearing a white dress, but not a skirt. The top is made of cicada wing yarn that is layered like fish scales, and the flared sleeves are somewhat wide for easy movements. The dress is a bit short, as long as she lifts a hand, it reveals a slender ant waist with shallow abs. Below are black high-waisted pants and cool Martin boots to reveal two long, thin, and even legs.

Ning Ning is permed with big wavy curls, and the delicate black curls on her forehead accentuate her mixed facial features and beauty. Her top was supposed to be a hip-length miniskirt. Vivian added a wide belt with a gold ring and black high waist trouser for her convenience of dancing

Yi Ke also rolled small curls tied with a half bead, playful and neat. She wore a tight cropped knit top of beaded embroider around the neckline and cuffs. Her lower body is wearing A-line pant skirts. 

Originally, Qiao Cheng’s clothes were the most sexy and sensual of all. The tight skirt was only ten centimeters above the knee, and the white fabric shone, outlining her concave, and fine figure.

The skirt was also changed from a long skirt to a short skirt. It originally grew to the ankle and there was a layer of tulle like fishtail on the edge of the skirt, but Vivian thought the tulle was unsightly and cut it off.

Qiao Chang had just put on her altered dress and shyly hid back to the dressing room, as the lines of the dress were to embarrassing to show.

Under Qiao Cheng’s resolute protest, Vivian added a black belt to the skirt to completely cover her waist, and finally neutralizing the lines.

At this time, the TV crew knocked on the door of the waiting room and stretched their head in and said, “The stage is set and ready to start.”

Xin Nanyi, who had been sitting on the side, stood up and thanked the staff. He walked to the studio with the girls who had nervous face.

In the past few days, Q&P thought that Xin Nanyi was still angry over that incident of their hearts being too soft, so they didn’t dare to approach him much. However, before going on stage, the nervousness overshadowed everything. Ning Ning, who was usually the most finicky, slowly approached Xin Nanyi and skillfully took his hand.

Xin Nanyi patter her hand to relax her and led them to the edge of the stage. The staff came up to bring them mics and receivers.

"Originally, the initial stage could have been pre-recorded or lip-synced, but I think that you have all practiced for so long, and your strength is enough. Therefore, I fought for a half-open mic* from the director. Jiayou,* just treat it like usual."

*Basically, a half-open mic means the mic is a little lower and there is an original sound in the accompaniment.

*Cheer up

Generally, when idol groups return to their first stage, singing programs would not allow them to directly open their full mic because the scene of the first stage would most likely be prone to problems. Opening half a mic is also a treatment of a strong old group. In order to fight for this right, Xin Nanyi also spent money to go through a backdoor.

The air conditioning in the studio is very cold, and a thin layer of goosebumps had already formed on Q&P’s naked and exposed skin.

Before they got on stage, they were so nervous that their hands and feet trembled.

As soon as the staff told Q&P to go on stage, Xin Nanyi pushed them up and said, “Don’t be confused. Pay attention to your expression and grasp the camera.”

They ran on the stage in high spirits, and as soon as they appeared on stage, the fans in the audience cheered. They were the most basic “superficial” face fans, and the instant they saw them on stage, they once again accepted the critical hit of face value on the spot. They cheered until they lost their voices.

Hearing the screams and cheers of the fans, Q&P slowly calmed down and posed for the beginning.

Ning Ning’s small honey voice grabbed the audience’s ears as soon as she opened her mouth, and her sense of camera was strong. No matter how near or close the director is, she could quickly capture it and cast a strong look.

After all, she was once the apprentice of the dancing queen Shen Ce. The typhoon Q&P’s stage style was very strong and skillful, her eyes were both soothing and sultry. It makes one who looks, pregnant.

Although it’s the first stage, the fans are already there to support.

When the music was announced in the early hours of the night, some big fans of Q&P’s official fan station had already discussed the support slogan and sent them to each fan station.

As soon as the main song《affection》written by Xin Nanyi was released, the ranking continued to rise up. By the time Q&P came to the TV station today, the song had more than two million hits in the country. It reached the top ten of several music ranking charts and this achievement was a record breaker for the girl group.

The song is too ear-catching and the melody is brainwashing. It can definitely make it to the ranks of Divine Comedy* and achieve the goal of topping the charts.

*神曲: I’m not sure to what this is but when I looked it up, there are Divine Comedy song rankings. It means that after listening to this music, you will hum it unknowingly, just like being brainwashed. Divine Comedy is specifically used to describe some special music with a unique style and full personality. [source]

After the song《affection》was over, the staff rushed to set up Q&P’s next stage.

Xin Nanyi plans to have Q&P both the title song《affection》and the non-title song《Is it snowing?》play at the same time. Thus, after they got off the stage, they said a few words to the fans in a hurry and went back to the waiting room to change clothes.

Since the song was a lyrical song and there are no dance moves, they are only wearing long dresses that are not cut short.

After all, they are the same series of products of the same brand. Although they are not like the almost copy paste stage clothes worn by other female groups, you can tell at a glance that they are from the same group.

With the previous stage as the foundation, Q&P performed more consistently in《Is it snowing?》. Although it was still a half-open mic, it has already proved their strength.

After the singing stage ended, Q&P gave the fans some homemade cookies as gifts before they left. This was reminded by Xin Nanyi for them to prepare in order to completely capture their fans' hearts. They need to be realistic and tell them how much they appreciate their fans’ love.

As expected, the fans were surprised and delighted when they received the small cookies from Q&P themselves. In the fan circle, there are many things that idols do in response to support, but it was the first time that they were thoughtful to give handmade gifts themselves at the first stage of their return. The fans who found a new wall decided to take root and never climb the wall.* Such considerate idols should be taken care of.

*Climb the wall is like going over another idol, in this case.

Q&P came at four o’clock in the morning to organize their styling, rehearse, and prepare for their song. Therefore, before idol groups’ hit songs even started, they had already recorded their part.

After the recording, Xin Nanyi did not rush to leave with Q&P. In order to let them win goodwill and good popularity in the circle, he took them to the waiting room with their signed albums to greet their seniors.

Idol groups in the new century rarely pay attention to this etiquette anymore.

After visiting several senior groups, Xin Nanyi and the others knocked on the door of a big senior.

He Xuanlong, who has a dyed blonde hair, asked h34 assistant to open the door. She then saw five beautiful little sisters bowing ninety degrees as soon as they walked in and greeted, “Hello, senior. We are Q&P, please take care of us.”*

*请多关照: I don’t really have the right phrase for this one but it means please treat me kindly (conventional greeting on first meeting).

He Xuanlong was a little surprised. Although she is a senior who had debuted for ten years, she hasn’t been greeted by her juniors for a long time.

“Hello, everyone! Hello, everyone!” He Xuanlong hurriedly greeted them.

Qiao Cheng handed He Xuanlong a signed album and said, “Senior, this is our album for this comeback. It’s our gift for you.”

He Xuanlon smiled and accepted it, then pulled out her new album from the side, “This is mine. You can look at it too, ba!”

With that, she found a marker from the side, signed it with a big signature, and handing it to Qiao Cheng.

Xin Nanyi, who was hiding outside the door, had been looking at his best friend whom he had not seen for a long time, and his heart had a sense of desolation of time.

He Xuanlong made her debut as a solo singer at the age of fifteen. After a few years of youth, she had resolutely transitioned at the age of twenty, the transition to a sexual and sensual female singer troupe. It turns out that her baby face, long legs, bee waist, and C cup, are really suitable for the sensual route. In her year of transition, He Xuanlong lost some of her previous fans, but she also gained more fans. Soon, she became the sexual and sensual representative among solo singers in China.

When it comes to sex and feelings, it’s He Xuanlong. But when it comes to He Xuanlong, it’s not just sex and feelings.

Her figure is exquisite and healthy. Even if wrapped tightly on the stage and MV, she is more tempting and puzzling than the people who take it off.

Z: Alright, the last three paragraphs were so hard to translate. I already broke down each sentence/character but it really talks about sex. Even Q&P’s outfit descriptions were so hard, ah. I hope this chapter is understandable.
