There is no precedent for solo dances in the international dance competition. Do you have confidence in attempting a solo for the first time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journalist asked in English. Xia Weibao could roughly understand some of it, but worried about answering incorrectly, she let her teammate translate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The competition doesn’t stipulate that we must perform a group dance. It’s about the dance that one is good at. I am confident in my solo performance, and since no one has done it before, I’ll treat it as a personal challenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Xia, you only came second in the preliminary round, while Miss Brina came first. Will she be your biggest competitor today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao calmly smiled, \"All the contestants today are excellent. In my view, they are all my competitors. I respect all of them, and there isn’t a distinction in weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an answer, instead, received unanimous praise from the media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Treating everyone equally, modest and courteous, was much more pleasing than Brina’s arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in everyone’s eyes, Brina was a world-class dancer, and Xia Weibao was just a fledgling girl; naturally, their attitudes were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a car drove up from behind, and Brina got out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporters who had been surrounding Xia Weibao all swarmed over, encircling Brina tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Brina, do you have confidence in this dance competition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina replied loftily, maintaining her goddess demeanor, \"I am very confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, out of nowhere, the black horse from Huaxia, Xia Weibao, has emerged. Many speculate that she might have a chance at winning the championship. What do you think about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina’s gaze showed some displeasure. In her opinion, Xia Weibao merely advanced by luck with Yan Lingyi’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the preliminary round was not open to the public, so no one would know even if the judges showed partiality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing her to such a person was simply an insult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand it. She and Xia Weibao were not on the same level at all, so why did everyone keep comparing them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling a bit impatient, her expression turned colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have always believed that the international dance competition is one that relies on strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Brina, are you implying that Xia Weibao’s abilities are inferior to yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporter, as if seizing a business opportunity, had eyes that lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relentless pursuit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even started, and the atmosphere was already charged with gunpowder; it seemed that this year’s competition would be more exciting than previous years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brina became even more impatient, \"I did not say that. Who is more talented will be seen on the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the emergence of Xia Weibao, this black horse, put pressure on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three sentences in, Xia Weibao was mentioned again; Brina’s displeasure had reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like she was being forcefully tied into a publicity stunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being compared to Xia Weibao, allowing her to continually ride on Brina’s fame, felt like swallowing a fly—truly disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to walk away, she heard a commotion behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, it’s the Piano Prince, David!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words instantly drew everyone’s gaze away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David played the piano exceptionally well and had held no fewer than ten world tour recitals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reputation spread across the globe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he called the Young Beethoven, but he also earned the title of Piano Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the finest music talent today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was in a relationship with Brina. One on piano, the other on ballet; a prince and a princess, a handsome man and a beautiful woman—a perfect match made in heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>",612,"2026-06-06T16:22:23.763Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e7bcc386d999bcbc03d5370aeb0cb76a363c0f2dbd98b89461a52dd63daef4c","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1524","plagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-chapter-1522",1766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplagued-by-bad-reviews-but-the-top-actress-cover.jpg"]
