Chapter 16 The C position should be someone who fits the image of the song.
When Zhou Chengwen pushed open the door of the practice room, he was surprised to find that the six people in the group were busy with their own things.
Zhou Chengwen has always trusted his brother Jiang.
In his mind, Jiang Huai, who is great at singing, dancing and facial expression management, must also be great at selecting people.
Even if the teammates he chooses are not as good as Brother Jiang, they should still be pretty good.
But at this moment, the six people in the group were in a disorganized and undisciplined state. Some were practicing singing, some were dancing, and some were lying on the ground biting the pen and staring blankly. It was a completely loose group.
When he heard the door open, only Huang Jingsuo, who was dancing at the door, looked at him. No one else, including his brother Jiang, reacted at all.
No, it’s fine that we chose a half-dead song, but why do you look so pretentious... Zhou Chengwen scratched his soft curly hair: "Uh, I just want to ask, do you remember when PD He said the first rehearsal was? My teammates and I remember differently, and after arguing for a long time just now, he insisted it was the day after tomorrow."
"Three days later, Wednesday the 17th," said Huang Jingshuo.
"I knew he remembered it wrong. I thought my brain shouldn't be that bad." Zhou Chengwen muttered a few words and thanked him again, then closed the door. Five seconds later, he quickly opened it again, "Aren't you in a hurry to practice?"
There was nothing to hide, Zhang Ruicong told the truth: "We are going to make some changes, and we will start practicing after we have made the changes."
As expected, they were Jiang Ge's team. Zhou Chengwen left with a mixture of admiration and worry.
"Yin Guangji's a cappella is easy to add, but Jian Yuan's is not easy to modify." Sheng Mingzhi frowned and said, "Time is a bit tight, but this problem is not a big deal. The main problem is that there is no equipment."
"I brought a guitar." Jian Yuan said, "I just thought about it again and felt that it would be more appropriate to add it to the bridge. It's probably something like this."
Jian Yuan sang the chorus again starting from the middle chorus. He clapped his hands on the wooden floor of the practice room, humming softly while keeping the rhythm. His voice echoed in the quiet practice room, giving off an inexplicable sense of emptiness.
This time, a repetitive part was deleted from the middle of the song, and it was replaced with a more relaxing melody. Although simple, it is very memorable.
It was indeed quite good. Jiang Huai exclaimed: "Is this what you just thought of? It's amazing."
When talking about the idea of adaptation just now, Jian Yuan spoke very smoothly and his thoughts were very clear. But now, just because Jiang Huai casually praised him, he even became a little hesitant when speaking, and even his ears turned slightly red. It turned out that he was very shy.
No wonder Si Xi finally found him. He is really born to be a gay man. If he had this kind of physique, he would definitely sell better than he does now, Jiang Huai thought in a naive way.
On the other side, inside the practice room of Group B of "Whisper in the Woods".
Jiang Huai controlled Yu Lan to sit and listen to the teammates discussing the division of parts. This vest is originally a taciturn introverted character, coupled with that face, like an oil painting inadvertently found in the corner while visiting a modern art museum, in a sense, it gives people a feeling of not competing or fighting and being easy to talk to.
The captain of this group is named Tang Tianyu, a trainee from Shengyin Culture who was in the first group to perform on the initial stage. He was ranked in Class C in both evaluations.
Tang Tianyu is obviously a smart man. He is well aware of the importance of the 10,000 votes awarded to the winner group, and the teammates he selected are all popular players with their own fans' votes, making full use of the rules.
In addition to Yu Lan, the group also includes Rong Qian, who had a singing competition with Jiang Huai, and another popular trainee Wei Xiuyuan.
When the trainees were selected, 99 trainees were divided into 16 groups of 6 people each, and finally three trainees were left. The remaining three included Jiang Huai's roommate Pang Zheyan, who was from the same company as Jiang Huai and accidentally made a mistake during the first stage. He was also transferred to this group.
Simply put, this group is a typical example of a 3+4 towing aircraft.
According to the rules introduced by PD He Chen, "luck is also a part of strength." The specific division of parts is decided by the captain drawn by lot, and team members can only vote for the C position.
Tang Tianyu started by saying, "I definitely want to be the center. Does anyone else want to be the center?"
Jiang Huai himself doesn't care much about the part. This song is about forest elves, which is completely in Yu Lan's comfort zone. With that well-carved face, any problem can be solved.
But since they are all in their comfort zone, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to compete for this C? Who would complain about not having enough screen time on a talent show?
So Yu Lan raised her hand.
The situation of the final C position competition was quite surprising. The remaining two more popular contestants, Rong Qian and Wei Xiuyuan, did not participate. Instead, the people who were dragged raised their hands one after another, all wanting to compete for the C position.
But it is understandable. The closer you are to the elimination circle, the more you hope to grab a life-saving straw and find a chance to save yourself.
Five pairs of hands were raised in an orderly manner, and there was a brief silence in the practice room.
The atmosphere in the group didn't seem very good, and Rong Qian was the first to break the somewhat stiff silence: "I think the C position should be someone who fits the image of the song. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."
Although he did not mention the name directly, everyone present knew that Rong Qian was referring to Yu Lan.
Wei Xiuyuan nodded in agreement: "I thought so too, that's why I didn't raise my hand for C."
Two pairs of hands were lowered.
The remaining three are team leader Tang Tianyu, Zheng Dehua and Yu Lan.
Rong Qian suddenly felt overwhelmed. After thinking for a moment, he suggested again: "How about you all perform the movements of the center position? Then the remaining four of us can vote?"
There is a well-known classic passage in the chorus of Whisper in the Woods.
The original girl group also happened to have seven members, with three people standing symmetrically on each side. When the center position turned around, prop petals fell from their sleeves. At the same time, the center position put her hands together in front of her chest, and then stretched out a bouquet of flowers hidden in advance towards the audience, as a gift from the elves to humans.
This action is not difficult. It focuses on creating a sense of atmosphere and the thrill of watching the rain of flowers in person.
"Then let me go first." Yu Lan said.
When he retracted his hand, he cleverly added some small details of speed change, giving people a feeling of being held tightly and cherished, and an inexplicable sense of tenderness. The movement of reaching out to the audience was also very natural and smooth.
Yu Lan's usually indifferent face, along with the non-existent bouquet of flowers, blossomed into a gentle smile, just like a gentle breeze in spring.
Tang Tianyu himself had to admit that Yu Lan did perform very well, but he still wanted to compete for the C position. He is currently ranked close to 80th, and even if he gets 10,000 extra votes, it is not guaranteed that he will be able to enter the top 66 in the elimination round, not to mention -
Yu Lan doesn’t lack exposure at all.
A loser who got to the top by being gay with Jiang Huai, whose strength is not as good as his, just had better luck and got the wind of Jingming Media's promotion of Royal Family, how could he get such a high ranking? And Yu Lan usually pretends to be calm and indifferent, as if she doesn't care about anything, why does she have to compete with him for the C position?
In a talent show, any negative emotions and micro-expressions will be infinitely magnified. Tang Tianyu was indignant in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just clapped along with the others in the group, pretended to sincerely praise them a few times, and then stood up and performed the second one.
The movements basically replicated the original song, but it was a pity that with Yu Lan being such a great performer before him, his performance could only be described as mediocre.
The last person to demonstrate was Zheng Dehua. Jiang Huai noticed that he had almost replicated the speed change details he had just thought of, and even his facial expressions were a bit similar to Yu Lan's.
The expression management that suits Yu Lan may not be suitable for others. On the contrary, this smile on Zheng Dehua's face looks inexplicably funny.
...I learn pretty quickly.
The three people competing for C finished their performances in turn, and the remaining four people with voting rights looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the practice room became dead again.
This time, Rong Qian took over the meeting on behalf of Tang Tianyu, who had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a team leader, and said, "Then all of you should bow your heads. The remaining four of us will raise our hands and vote anonymously?"
"Okay." Yu Lan simply lowered his head and closed his eyes. He has always been frank. Besides, without this C position, it would not have much impact on him.
Half a minute later, Rong Qian spoke again in a somewhat strange tone: "...Look up."
This time he didn't look at anyone when he spoke: "Yu Lan and Tang Tianyu tied. Zheng Dehua, you vote."
Zheng Dehua hesitated for half a minute, as if he was thinking carefully about the performance of Yu Lan and Tang Tianyu just now, and finally said: "I vote for Tang Tianyu."
Rong Qian couldn't help himself: "I still say what I said before, it fits the song..."
Wei Xiuyuan next to him glanced at him. Rong Qian noticed the implicit reminder in his eyes and suddenly stopped talking: "Nothing, let's leave it at that."
He congratulated with a fake smile: "Then congratulations to Tang Tianyu for being selected as the center of our group. Then let's prepare to start dividing the parts?"
Tang Tianyu made a thank you statement like "Thank you everyone for choosing me as the C position, I will work hard", and Yu Lan sat on the side, her expression still cold and distant.
Wow, the atmosphere is completely different from the "Loud Confessions" group that the main character is in.
Group voting is a common thing in talent shows. Jiang Huai didn't care whether they were trying to please Tang Tianyu because he was the team leader in charge of allocating parts, or because they didn't want the top players to get the C position and become more popular.
The voting results are objectively presented here. Anyone with eyes can see who performed better between Yu Lan and Tang Tianyu.
The program crew can indeed swap out the two performances when editing, but they can't swap the two performances. No one can steal his performance.
The audience can tell at a glance who is voting maliciously. Such behavior will only backfire, and may even make the audience feel pity for Yu Lan, who should have taken the C position, and abuse his fans to earn votes from passers-by.
But Pang Zheyan...after all, they were from the same company, he sighed.
Why is this necessary?
Jiang Huai withdrew most of his attention from Yu Lan. There is no rap part in the song "Secret of the Woods". The remaining parts are similar. The main difference is the order. It doesn't matter which part is taken. Tang Tianyu can divide it however he likes.
For Yu Lan, no matter how inconspicuous his part is, his face is as eye-catching as its own light source. The five words "face is in the country" are not just a casual remark.
Jian Yuan had returned to the dormitory earlier, brought his guitar to the practice room, and tried to play it. After a discussion among several people, most of the planned arrangement had been completed.
While Yu Lan was competing for C in the next group, Jiang Huai was listening to the original song and practicing singing along. Even though he was half-hearted, he basically got it done. There were only a few specially marked high notes that needed more practice.
He tried to sing the high notes twice again, and the slight discomfort in his heart disappeared in an instant, and all the negative emotions disappeared along with the singing.
Jiang Huai took off his headphones and said, "Then let's roughly put together the first version? The specific details can be adjusted later. Let's first determine the parts based on the first version so that everyone can practice on their own."
Those who were choreographing, singing and adapting the songs all said it was ok and there was no problem. The six members of the group that had just dispersed sat together again.
Yin Guangji's clear voice was the first to introduce the song, and Jiang Huai immediately clicked on the original accompaniment of "Confess Loudly", and the chorus of all the group members merged together.
After the chorus of "Because I like you the most!" ended, Jian Yuan gently plucked the strings, and the guitar sounded crisp and powerful. He sang the bridge part alone, and Sheng Mingzhi's rap followed closely. The rhythm and rhythm added a sense of layering. The last chorus returned to the six-person chorus. The whole process was smooth and coherent, and ended perfectly.
It's really much more comfortable to get along with this group of teammates.
