Chapter 88 Singing

In fact, when Gu Qingge first communicated with the program team that she wanted to bring the Queen band she formed to perform the opening show, and sing a new song she composed, the program team had some doubts.

The program team would rather Gu Qing sing her previously popular love songs rather than suddenly change her style. Can she handle the new style?

The program team was under tremendous pressure to invite Gu Qingge, a girl who was only seventeen years old, to be a singing and songwriting mentor.

She must fully demonstrate her strength.

Otherwise, how could those female trainees who are older than her or even have debuted before and are returning to this talent show as a repeat performer possibly obey her?

What will the outside world think of the program team and Gu Qingge himself?

You know, there are a lot of doubts on the Internet about Gu Qingge and the show "Creation 101". Some people think that this show may be popular for only two or three episodes at most and then it will fade away.

After all, China has never had a market for girl groups, and the program crew was so reckless that they actually invited a newcomer like Gu Qingge to be a mentor.

This is simply for the sake of attracting attention and traffic, it is completely shameless.

Gu Qingge could also understand the program team's doubts.

So she sent the program team the information and photos of her band members, as well as the pre-recorded live performance video of "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" in advance.

The entire "Produce 101" production team was shocked!

When did Gu Qingge quietly form such a high-level band, and who are the members of this band, all these fairy girls?

There are five people in the band including Gu Qingge, two are from China University of the Arts, two are from the Central University of the Arts, and the most outrageous one is from China University!

They all graduated from prestigious universities, and most importantly, they are so good-looking. They might as well just form their own girl group and debut. The entire "Produce 101" is not enough for them!

What the program crew didn't expect was that Gu Qingge was actually secretly planning to use this talent show, which she thought would be a hit, as the debut stage for the Queen band.

After the entire band finished performing "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", Gu Qingge would definitely take the opportunity to introduce her four partners, regardless of whether this part would be cut out after the show was broadcast.

In addition to the expert-level performance of Gu Qingge's band that shocked the program team, Gu Qingge's newly composed song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" also made the program team extremely satisfied.

There's no way around it, this song is really suitable for talent shows and it will resonate with some contestants.

So, in the end, the program team agreed to use "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" as Gu Qingge's opening performance song, and it was also the finale song.

The 101 female trainees who passed the audition will have the opportunity to witness Gu Qingge’s high notes light up the entire stage!

"Produce 101" officially started recording.

Gu Qingge and her band members were still backstage at this time. They were all dressed in rock style, which made them look handsome and cool.

Especially Tang Junru, she looks so handsome in this rock style denim jacket and leather pants that all the girls are crazy about her.

Aida, a mixed-race girl who is capable of being the face of the band, wore smoky makeup and had an avant-garde hairstyle. She was absolutely beautiful and extremely cool.

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, she is very recognizable.

As for Gu Qingge, since she will be a mentor throughout the whole process, her dress and makeup are more normal and beautiful.

The clothes she wore were still the "blue clothes" she made herself, which were fashionable and handsome, with a charm value of +3.

There is no doubt that as long as she appears on the stage, she will always be the focus of everyone!

She is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and soul pillar of Queen.

…

At this time, several female trainees arranged on the stage were filming their self-introductions as the opening remarks of the entire "Produce 101" program -

"My name is Qian Ying, I'm 19 years old. My dream of becoming a girl group member started in junior high school."

"I'm Zhao Liyun, 20 years old. My group has been on the verge of disbanding twice. I don't know how much longer it can last this time."

"My name is Wang Xinjie, I'm 23 years old. Few people can realize their dreams. If I fail this time, I'll go back to starting my own business, making money, and taking care of my life and my mother."

"My name is Qiu Mengping, I'm 27 years old. I've been in the industry for five years, shooting commercials and rushing to attend events. When I was eager to push myself further, I encountered this stage. So I went back to square one as a trainee and reunited with my former self."

"My name is Wu Xiaoxuan, I'm 23 years old. I once debuted in a girl group overseas. I came here because my roots are in China and my dream is to be on stage."

…

"Coming to 101 was my first time stepping into the public eye."

"Coming to 101 is my last stand."

"Coming to 101 is like resetting myself to zero."

“When people do what they love, their eyes will shine, and I don’t want to let this light go out.”

"I am a seed, I am waiting for a chance to break through the soil!"

…

Finally, all 101 female trainees shouted together—

"Turn the tide and thrive towards the sun. 101 Girls Group, created by you!"

…

After this recording was completed, the next step was for all the female trainees to come out one after another and choose their seats.

Some girls were more conservative and chose seats in the middle or bottom of the pyramid.

Some were very confident and directly chose one of the 1 to 11 girls at the top of the pyramid. Obviously, she was very sure that she would be able to stand out from these 101 girls in the future.

Chen Xuexian, a beautiful girl from Excellence Entertainment, one of the top four, chose the seventh seat.

It wasn't because she didn't want to sit on the first seat, but because her group appeared later and the first seat had already been taken. She couldn't just grab it, although she really wanted to do so in her heart.

However, this is a reality show talent show. It doesn't mean that you will definitely make your debut if you have the talent. The most important thing is to be popular with the audience.

Chen Xuexian is an extremely proud girl. In the large entertainment company Excellence Entertainment, her strength is among the best among all the female trainees who have not debuted yet.

She is 21 years old this year and has been practicing for three and a half years. During this period, she has suffered a lot, fallen, struggled, and given up, but she finally persevered.

Chen Xuexian knew that after the 101 female trainees had chosen their seats, the initiators and mentors would appear next.

Among these people, the one she was most dissatisfied with was the singing and songwriting mentor Gu Qingge, who was younger than her.

What on earth is this Gu Qingge's ability to be a singing and songwriting mentor?

Chen Xuexian takes the 101 talent show very seriously because it is the stage she has longed for!

But now that Gu Qingge is the mentor of this show, he is simply destroying the reputation of the show!

Therefore, Chen Xuexian was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Qingge.

In fact, there are quite a few female trainees who have similar ideas to Chen Xuexian. Most of them are very talented and have suffered a lot, so they are very psychologically unbalanced.

So, they naturally reached a tacit understanding, which was to unite and give Gu Qingge a cold shoulder.

That is, when other mentors come on stage to perform, they will cheer and scream in response to the mentors' performances, but when it is Gu Qingge's turn to perform, they are just ready to perfunctorily and fool around.

Anyway, they have an excuse, that is, Gu Qingge's performance was not good on the spot, so they can't be blamed for not being enthusiastic.

The first person to appear was naturally the initiator of "Produce 101", or the host of this program, Cheng Zhe, the captain of the super popular boy group "Cosmic Glory"!

As soon as Chengzhe appeared on the stage, before he even started performing, many female trainees started screaming, looking like crazy girls.

This is the appearance of top idols!

Chengzhe performed singing, dancing, and rap. Although his stage performance was not as good as the effect of the entire "Universe Glory" together, it was still remarkable. The female trainees screamed exaggeratedly...

When the instructors performed next, they were equally enthusiastic, saying things like, "She was my idol when I was little," "Teacher Yan Bin is so talented, her original work is so beautiful," and "Bo Yiwang's dance is so captivating, his body flexibility is amazing."

Anyway, they just kept praising each other, and some even pretended to be moved to tears, because they knew that the more exaggerated the reaction, the more likely they were to grab the spotlight!

Until the end, when Gu Qingge appeared with her Queen band, the entire scene fell into silence. The originally lively atmosphere seemed to have disappeared.

Gu Qingge smiled faintly, her expression calm and unconcerned. She walked to the microphone stand with her guitar and started singing directly -

Where is the world full of flowers?

If it really exists, I would go.

I want to be there on the highest mountain

Don't care if it's a cliff

Live hard, love hard, even if it means risking your life

Don't ask for anyone's satisfaction, just be true to yourself

I never gave up on my ideals

Even on gray days

Maybe I don't have the talent

But I have the innocence of dreams
