Arriving in a parallel world where idols are in decline,
With no connections, no resources, and not much capital,
Want to open an entertainment company and create idol stars?
It a...
Tonight, the fans’ support was also very powerful, giving a surprise and role model to the sisters who could not be present.
They felt that being able to perform at Grape Video's anniversary party, fresh off their debut and with their first official performance, wasn't too demanding for these youngsters, who had only been training for a little over two years. Their expectations were truly lived up to, and all six of them performed brilliantly tonight! There was nothing wrong with them!
Some perceptive fans also pointed out that the original soundtrack of tonight's performance seemed to be played extremely loudly, and it was difficult to hear the kids' own voices, nor did they seem to hear much breathing or panting.
Some fans immediately retorted: "That's not the case. Maybe they're just too good." After all, they've practiced these two songs countless times. During their a cappella practice sessions, they've also been focusing on their breathing.
After all, the fan group was entirely devoted to the group. While some hinted at the possibility that tonight's performance might be played with the original soundtrack to ensure a compelling performance, the question was so sensitive that the group, intentionally or unintentionally, avoided it. After all, they had all watched their practice videos and heard the boys sing a cappella countless times. They were fully capable of singing these two relatively easy songs, and there was no reason for the company or the show's organizers to ask them to lip-sync.
Back at the company, Su Yin's mood sank even further as she watched the discussions in the fan group. These fans all knew that there was nothing wrong with singing live, yet some people were forcing them to lip-sync!
The group is currently at the peak of its popularity, and countless pairs of red eyes are watching them. Moonlight Boys' debut performance was lip-synced, and if no one paid attention, it would have been fined. However, if someone were to exploit this issue, they might actually be ripped off by Grape Video.
She even suspected conspiracy theories, suspecting someone was using this opportunity to inflict some dirt on the Moonlight Boys, leading to this unexpected situation tonight. Because, judging by the previous rehearsal and the staff's reactions, it seemed unlikely that the lip-syncing was planned from the beginning and deliberately concealed from Joyful Entertainment.
The most likely scenario is that someone with ulterior motives persuaded some specific person in charge or a mid-level or higher-level person in the organizer to accept the proposal on the spur of the moment. However, the person in charge or someone below him, out of busyness and arrogance, did not inform her of the arrangement in advance.
She had heard of people creating obstacles and hindrances behind their competitors' backs before, but she had never encountered it herself. She had never expected that in this world, she would be tripped up by someone during her first group's debut.
The company's staff had only received the news half an hour earlier. They were all shocked that after so many rehearsals, Grape Video had simply muted their artist's microphones during the livestream without prior notice, and instead played the original version. Everyone quickly followed Su Yin's instructions, searching social media for keywords like "Grape Video Anniversary Gala" and "Moonlight Boys."
Now, everyone's biggest concern is that some will accuse the group of lip-syncing during their first performance, especially for such a simple song, of being completely insincere. It turns out some people are indeed raising these concerns. For a newly debuted idol group, it seems unusual that their debut performance lacks any breathing, swallowing, or flaws. Could they be lip-syncing?
However, some people also pointed out that the song itself is not difficult, and it is the lead song of their recently released new album, so lip-syncing should not be a problem. Moreover, this group often had training videos and singing live broadcasts before their debut, which shows that they are indeed talented.
There are discussions about whether lip-syncing is taking place, but they are not numerous and have not yet reached the point of causing a public opinion crisis, so we can rest assured for the time being.
Just when everyone else in the company breathed a sigh of relief, Su Yin didn't dare to relax at all.
She couldn't take the risk of letting the group leave a bad impression on the outside world, saying they had no talent and had to lip-sync a simple song from their album on their debut stage at this stage, right after their debut.
Su Yin, who has been working in the entertainment industry since the last century, knows firsthand that the worst thing to do in the entertainment industry is to rely on luck. You absolutely can't wait until public opinion explodes before rushing into PR. The negative impact caused by that time can be irreversible, becoming a permanent stain on the artist's history. The negative impression left on ordinary netizens and viewers might not be erased even after years, or even decades, of effort.
Especially since she suspected some people had already been preparing to smear the Moonlight Boys, accusing them of being unable to sing live. She had to start now! Right now! Preparing for emergency public relations to deal with this sudden "lip-syncing crisis."
