Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Originally, the TV program crew planned to only shoot a brief scene of the children attending class, but due to the departure of a volunteer teacher, they added a very touching farewell scene.

Once the teacher left, the shooting part at the school was completely over; however, seeing the school’s rundown state, the crew decided to stay two extra days after filming.

While they might not excel at much else, they certainly had enough manpower, and together they helped refurbish the school’s dilapidated buildings.

It’s said that the school’s buildings leak all over whenever it rains; there’s heavy rain outside and light rain inside, and it’s terribly cold in winter too.

After everything was sorted out, the crew left the small mountain village and hurried to the fourth filming location, a water town in Jiangnan.

This place is the land of rice, with waterways everywhere, verdant hills, white walls and black tiles, exuding an ancient charm.

Due to the numerous water areas, the place is shrouded in misty rain all year round, creating picturesque scenery like poetry and painting between heaven and earth.

Although this small village is far from the city, the convenient transportation allows the villagers to live comfortably. On the first day Wenren Shuangshuang and others arrived, they were well received by the villagers.

This place features a culinary specialty called Daohua Fish, which is raised in rice paddies. When the fish grow large enough, they are fished out and specially pickled and stored.

Whether steamed or stewed later, they are very delicious, with no fishy smell after pickling, leaving only a spicy and rich taste. Even Wenren Shuangshuang, who usually doesn’t like fish, ate more than half a fish.

This trip to the water town was the final stop of filming. The local tradition here involves listening to theater performances, including Kunqu, Yue Opera, and Peking Opera, found everywhere.

This time, the task for Wenren Shuangshuang and others was to learn a piece of classic opera singing, then dress in costumes and put on stage makeup to perform a song.

The program crew specifically invited opera masters to provide lessons. This task did not require forming teams; those willing could collaborate. Wenren Shuangshuang and Su Jie decided to work together.

The two discussed and finally decided that Wenren Shuangshuang would sing ”The Peony Pavilion,” while Su Jie would serve as her maid Chunxiang. Su Jie would sing ”The Golden Cangue,” with Wenren Shuangshuang playing her maid Meixiang.

Singing an opera necessitates grasping the tones and maintaining long notes. For Su Jie, the Empress of Love Songs, it was a cross-domain challenge, but learning just a short segment was not too difficult.

For Wenren Shuangshuang, it was different. She constantly felt that when she sang opera, her voice was not her own, and no matter what, it wouldn’t follow orders.

Since she couldn’t get it right, Wenren Shuangshuang turned to books, seeking tips on practicing opera singing. One must practice Qi Cultivation before making a sound, mastering various breathing techniques first.

Wenren Shuangshuang practiced Qi Cultivation from morning till night every day, and once she was fairly proficient, she moved on to practicing qi, sound, and diction.

As they say, qi serves sound, sound serves tone, tone serves diction, diction serves words, and words serve emotion. These are the basic skills of opera singing.

Since Wenren Shuangshuang knew nothing about opera, she had to start with the basics, diligently practicing every morning and night without any slack.

It could be said that the previous filming was exhausting for others, but for Wenren Shuangshuang, it was relatively easy.

This time, while others found it easier, Wenren Shuangshuang became the most exhausted one.

However, her hard work paid off; after twenty days of opera practice, her singing style began to take shape.

Finally, on the performance day, the venue chosen was a classic architectural style building, a replica of an opera house.

Many came to watch Kunqu here, including locals, tourists from afar, and occasionally foreigners, but most were local people who understood Kunqu.

Performing in front of such an audience comes with undeniable pressure; this isn’t just about facing cameras or fans who only cheer without criticism.

Wenren Shuangshuang and Su Jie, dressed in elaborate opera costumes, waited backstage. Soon, the announcer outside called Wenren Shuangshuang’s name.

Wenren Shuangshuang took a deep breath, using the steps she just learned, moved from backstage to the front, where the audience filled the space, a scene she was quite familiar with, and wasn’t stage-shy.

”Chunxiang.” ”Miss.” ”How could one know every fascinating scene of spring without entering the garden...” With a long note, Wenren Shuangshuang unfolded her fan and began singing.

She sang ”The Peony Pavilion” with dedication and seriousness, and the master in charge of teaching them stood by, tapping to the rhythm, smiling in appreciation.

After Wenren Shuangshuang completed ”The Peony Pavilion,” the teacher who had been observing without comment finally spoke to the director Zhang Huijuan: ”Her diction and intonation are precise and just right.

I still remember that she couldn’t sing opera at all initially; she was off-key and tone-deaf. I didn’t expect her to sing so well so soon. With such diligence and talent, I’d be tempted to have her study opera with me.”

Zhang Huijuan smiled without speaking. Wenren Shuangshuang is already a star, seeing from the comments during this period, she has now become hugely popular; why would she start from scratch learning opera?

After the opera performance, the transformation life show ended as well. The program’s conclusion also signified that everyone began receiving messages from the outside world, realizing the series of consequences their participation brought.

First to go viral were Wenren Shuangshuang, Wang Hanshao, and Su Jie. Wenren Shuangshuang’s consistent and all-knowing persona garnered immense popularity, and her rise in fame was something even she didn’t anticipate.

This scenario was a complete leap from an unnoticed minor star to a second-tier celebrity, with numerous commercial offers treating her like snowflakes.

Wang Hanshao, the gentle God, was pursued by numerous girls, and coupled with his movie star halo, he quickly regained first-tier celebrity popularity, successfully making a comeback.

Su Jie wasn’t pampered and hardworking, and Wenren Shuangshuang’s fondness towards her led a portion of Wenren Shuangshuang’s fans to like Su Jie, which contributed to Su Jie’s skyrocketing fame.

Xie WenAn had average performance, not particularly outstanding, but decent enough, his popularity went up, and then there’s Xi Shuang, who was loved and hated equally; some loved him unreasonably, while others disliked him irrationally.

Anyway, Xi Shuang’s fans were passionate, both in love and hate. If you asked Wenren Shuangshuang, both those who loved or disliked Xi Shuang were brainless. Those who liked him protected him brainlessly, and those who disliked him bashed him irrationally.

The last, most unfortunate one was Su Jinjiang, infamous for being both celebrated and criticized online, exactly like in Wenren Shuangshuang’s past life memories.

Su Jinjiang, with mental resilience, quickly utilized the widespread criticism to transform her career, officially embracing the role of an evil and venomous supporting female character, taking on roles of villainous women.
