Before recording, there had to be a dress rehearsal.
Once all the aspects of the production were confirmed to be problem-free, the formal recording could begin.
The content of the program’s dress rehearsal was very simple, and Shi Mei, who was a late addition, didn’t have specific shots like the other members.
However, due to the popularity advantage Senior Sister already had, the camera would still linger on her occasionally when it panned over her.
As an insider from Baiyue Media, Liu Yuan could clearly see everything that was captured by the camera.
Liu Yuan felt even more uncomfortable.
It was all because of Tang Gu’s stupidity in showing his face at the Giant Bar while wearing Senior Sister’s mask that now many people mistakenly believed she was Tang Wu.
If the truth wasn’t made clear soon, this Senior Sister might become even more popular.
And Tang Gu would just be left out in the cold.
Liu Yuan thought for a moment, then walked toward the planner not too far away.
The program team’s segment design was very clever.
It started with a solo act by a big shot, who sang a song, followed by roaming recording backstage.
Since it was a reality talent show, everyone was trying their best to be in front of the camera.
Moving along, the cameraman and director saw several girls hover around the camera incessantly like persistent spirits.
They were either tossing clothes at each other, laughing loudly, or even more exaggerated, some were pretending to remove makeup.
But the footage was rather hard on the eyes, and after one glance, the director turned away.
As they turned, they suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
The person was quietly sitting in front of a mirror playing with a phone, wearing a pitch-black mask with only red lips partially visible, hinting at a smile.
With a slender and tall silhouette, dressed in a beige suit and wearing a wide-brimmed jazz hat, they sat there smiling with lowered head—an appearance that had already drawn the attention of many competitors.
Despite very little of her face showing, it did nothing to diminish her elegance.
The director’s eyes lit up, and the camera was immediately pointed at her.
Shi Mei was very sensitive to the camera.
Without even looking up, she subconsciously adjusted to her best state.
Locking her phone screen, she boldly lifted her head and, upon seeing the camera in the mirror, greeted with a smile, "Hello there."
Her voice was natural, carrying a hint of amusement.
After the greeting, Shi Mei was prepared for the camera to move away.
But unexpectedly, the film crew walked toward her, and the host at the side quickly realized their intent.
Knowing the drill, they stepped forward and asked Shi Mei, "Are you the Senior Sister?"
"Wow, that’s quite an honor. I heard that President Zhang personally invited Senior Sister. There was no need for you to go through auditions; you became our official contestant directly. But Senior Sister’s talent is undeniable, and many viewers are really looking forward to your performance."
The host went on and on, seamlessly leading Shi Mei into the conversation.
Other people in the resting area looked over, their stares piercing enough to make one uncomfortable.
If it had been anyone else under such scrutiny, especially in front of the main camera, they would undoubtedly be extremely nervous and maybe even incapable of standing steady.
But this Senior Sister seemed unfazed, her smile remaining natural as she brought her hands together in thanks, "Thank you, everyone. I will try my best not to disappoint."
The host couldn’t help admiring her more and nodded in praise, "Senior Sister is truly humble."
A scornful voice came from the crowd, "She’s just putting on a good show. Humble my ass."
