A
For many pop idol fans, having the opportunity to participate in a music video for their favorite pop songs might be a dream come true.
I, I had taken lessons at a Chinese-owned dance studio, and they began to hold auditions(试镜) for a special project—filming a music video! Those who passed the auditions would rehearse(排练) awell-designed dance and be filmed by a professional camera crew. I really like the song they chose—KillThis Love by Blackpink, a girl group from South Korea, so I auditioned.
I was confident at first in the audition, but as I felt more pressure, I forgot a few moves. This definitely hurt my chances, so I became very on edge about the results. Additionally, because Blackpinkis a four-member group, the studio was only looking for four people, and over 20 people had auditioned. I was very unsure if my performance would be good enough for a callback.
Two weeks later when I had just about given up on hearing back, I got a text from the studio manager, saying, “Congratulations! You have passed the audition for Kill This Love.” I could barely contain my excitement, but wanting to seem mature, I replied to her in a calm and collected manner.
We were scheduled for five rehearsals in total, and the filming date was set for the middle of April. What really stirred up my excitement was knowing that we would be filmed in public. I would also bedancing the part of Rose, my favorite Blackpink member.
Our first rehearsal was on a Wednesday. The studio had rented the basement of a theater. There were, of course, difficulties. The dance routine included formations, so we had to learn the positions and transitions—things that we did not usually learn in our regular dance lessons. But it was just the four of us, and our teacher had enough time to work with each of us individually.
I have been practicing hard for my dream. I hope everything goes well, and I look forward to the upcoming performance!
