I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 207 - 201 Chen Xixi really gives me the feeling of gilding the lily.

Chapter 207: Chapter 201 Chen Xixi really gives me the feeling of gilding the lily.

A portion of netizens began to look down on Chen Xixi’s performance.

After all, Chen Xixi’s past dance performances were still deeply memorable.

Even Guan Yingying, who had been visually suppressed by Han Qianyi in person, did not show displeasure on the spot. Looking at Chen Xixi talking to the chief director, she admired her, saying: "The guests on your show are so impressive! If I need to learn about dance in the future, I’ll just directly ask them for advice!"

Han Qianyi smiled, knowing the real talent wasn’t ’them’—Guan Yingying would find out soon enough.

She too glanced towards Chen Xixi, who was talking with the chief director, and thought, could Chen Xixi be asking the chief director for props as well?

However, based on Chen Xixi’s performances, unless she could get an experienced dance teacher like herself to assist on site, no prop could save Chen Xixi’s utterly terrible coordination.

Han Qianyi turned her gaze back to Guan Yingying and spoke gently: "It would be presumptuous to offer teachings, but we can add each other on WeChat privately, and if you ever need it, I am more than willing to help resolve any issues within my capacity."

Guan Yingying said with a smile: "Sure, let’s exchange contact information after the show then."

Han Qianyi felt a surge of excitement inside—she would be able to add the WeChat of a popular actress!

[Yingying has such a grand vision, truly worthy of a famous young actress. Even when overshadowed by an amateur, she didn’t show displeasure and even expressed willingness to learn. I’m now a fan!]

[I wonder if the celebrity guests haven’t seen Chen Xixi dance, so they seem so anticipative? I hope they won’t be thrown off by Chen Xixi’s ’rain-seeking’ dance.]

[You can learn from Han Qianyi, but there’s no need to learn from Chen Xixi, because one High Priest is enough, we don’t need that many.]

[Chen Xixi: Comment above, you really know how to insult people.]

At this moment, Chen Xixi, who had just finished communicating with the chief director, walked back.

Chen Xixi said with a smile: "Everyone, please wait for a moment, the director is going to get some props for me."

Guan Yingying looked at Chen Xixi and asked curiously: "What kind of dance are you performing? A fan dance as well?"

Chen Xixi nodded: "Yes, but the dance I’m performing is slightly different. I’m planning to dance the fan dance on paper."

"Dance the fan dance on paper?" Guan Yingying’s expression was one of surprise.

Such a method of dancing was unheard of.

The other guests were also taken aback, wondering how one could possibly dance on paper.

After hearing this, Han Qianyi’s expression gradually became complex, pondering what kind of trick Chen Xixi was planning to play.

If it’s a dance, then just dance; what’s the deal with dancing on paper? If Chen Xixi couldn’t even dance properly normally, how could she do better on paper? Han Qianyi felt Chen Xixi was playing tricks!

She looked forward to exposing Chen Xixi from a professional standpoint later on! Let Chen Xixi try playing her tricks!

Then they saw the chief director bringing over some white papers, pencils, and paint, while the staff moved over a table and chairs.

Everyone finally understood what Chen Xixi’s dance on paper referred to—it turned out she was going to paint!

Chen Xixi had asked the chief director for painting supplies; fortunately, they had a makeup artist in the program who enjoyed painting as a hobby to decompress during breaks, so the chief director helped borrow them.

Han Qianyi thought there might be trouble, as painting was not her field of expertise, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Could it be that by trying to make Chen Xixi look foolish to highlight herself, it would end up making Chen Xixi shine and herself the backdrop instead?

Moreover, judging by Chen Xixi’s posture, sitting upright and the way she tested the colors with her brush, she appeared very practiced, likely very professional.

Chen Xixi truly was cunning, managing to turn her weakness into advantage!

Han Qianyi did not wish to give Chen Xixi the chance to stand out, otherwise, wouldn’t her own dance be in vain?

Han Qianyi promptly spoke up: "Aren’t you supposed to be dancing? How can painting count as dancing?"

Chen Xixi didn’t even lift her head and continued to leisurely test colors with the paint on the paper, "It’s about dancing, you wait a moment, don’t rush."

As soon as Chen Xixi finished speaking, Han Qianyi saw Chen Xixi directly squeeze a large dollop of red and black paint onto the paper.

Seeing this, Han Qianyi nearly laughed out loud.

Why did she just have the illusion that Chen Xixi was a professional painter?

Which professional painter squeezes paint directly onto the paper instead of onto a palette?

And such a huge blob at that!

She had really thought too much.

Chen Xixi obviously didn’t understand anything and was just putting on airs to bluff people!

Han Qianyi showed a gentle smile, "Oh, then take your time to study, no rush."

She just waited to see what kind of painting Chen Xixi could come up with!

The other guests also frowned upon seeing this, what kind of painting method was this? They had never seen it before? Could such a thing really result in a painting?

[??? What’s this operation? I can understand if Chen Xixi switched from dancing to painting competitions, but I just can’t comprehend this operation; what is she doing with so much paint?]

[She took a brush and dabbed the paint on watercolor paper and brushed... Why does it look so casual? Can one really produce a painting this way?]

[Her painting method seems similar to my three-year-old son’s, a stroke here and a stroke there; it completely feels like blind drawing...]

Chen Xixi kept her head down, her hand holding the brush moved skillfully on the watercolor paper, her posture and appearance looking quite professional.

However, what everyone saw her painting was a complete mess, utterly incomprehensible.

The left side was scribbled over with strokes, and the bottom was scribbled again with more, from whichever angle, it didn’t look like a picture at all. Not to mention the fan dance, they couldn’t even find where the fan or the dancing figure was.

But five minutes later, a miracle occurred.

Under such a chaotic operation by Chen Xixi, they could vaguely make out that there indeed seemed to be a woman in a skirt on the paper, holding a fan and dancing!

It was truly unbelievable!

All the guests couldn’t help but come closer, surrounding Chen Xixi, watching her every move intently, fearing that they would miss the earth-shattering transformation of this painting that seemed quite awful.

Yet, even if they dared not blink, the painting still offered them an enormously shocking visual experience!

If watching a regular artist paint is a visual feast, then watching Chen Xixi paint was nothing short of a visual shock!

To see her turn what seemed like a failed art piece little by little back into a refined artwork, wasn’t that shocking enough?

Five minutes later, they all watched as the woman dancing with a fan on the paper became clearer and lifelike.

[No joke, Chen Xixi really achieved the effect of ’gilding the lily,’ and I don’t mean it as a derogatory term!]

[Holy crap?! Chen Xixi’s painting is too beautiful! And the pose she painted seems to be a classic move from the fan dance!]

[How come the woman in the painting has no face?]

[Maybe she hasn’t painted that part yet!]

But Chen Xixi stopped painting.

Guan Yingying asked curiously, "Why didn’t you paint the face?"

Zheng He looked at the movement of the woman in the painting and suddenly felt it was familiar, "Isn’t this move one that Han Qianyi just danced? Could it be that you’re painting Han Qianyi?"
