Chapter 5 Congratulations on getting your first A on your debut stage.
Everyone was finally present, the lights in the studio suddenly turned off, and the contestants who were chatting around them also quieted down.
The next second, the stage rose from below, and dozens of spotlights focused on the man in the middle of the stage.
That’s the show’s main PD, He Chen.
He was the champion of an old talent show in his country more than ten years ago. He was signed to Huatian Entertainment at that time and has been an actor for a long time, but his qualifications and status make him the best candidate for the main mentor of "Produce Trainee".
He Chen said calmly: "Hello, all the national producers. I am the PD of "Produce Trainee", He Chen."
"Everyone is welcome to watch the live broadcast of the first stage. This program is jointly presented by Jingming Media and Huatian Entertainment, and is exclusively sponsored by Apple Video. The voting channel will be opened at the same time as the main program is broadcast next Friday."
"Now, please invite the four mentors to say hello to everyone."
[Hurry, hurry, stop talking nonsense, I want to watch the first performance!!!]
[Congratulations to the fans, I am in tears. I didn't expect to see my idol on stage again after so many years. I wish to have a collaborative stage with my mentor in advance. 】
[An old man is dragged to sing and dance at his old age. It's hard work. 】
Singing instructor, Xiao Wenping. The queen singer who won the Grand Slam of domestic pop music awards only five years after her debut also has a good reputation internationally and recently announced a global tour next year. It was her song that Jiang Huai sang during the interview at Jingming.
Dance instructor, Xiang Liang. He started out as an underground dancer, and is very good at Jazz and Locking, but he still likes Hip-hop the most. He has been behind the scenes for the past few years and is the choreographer for Jingming's leading boy band Les Dieux.
Rap mentor, Yue Han. The champion of the big rap variety show, his freestyle level is extremely high, and his listening, flow, and lyrics are all good. *The only controversy in the competition that year was his gender and his baby face that was too contrasting.
Special mentor, Shi Renran. Born in a girl group overseas, after returning to China, she has developed in a balanced way in stage, film, and variety shows. She has never produced top hit songs, dramas, or variety shows, but her fan base is solid and her popularity is always stable.
[What if this show gives me a second spring in life and World Tour tickets become harder to get tomorrow? I really won’t let this Produce trainee go.]
[How can Yue Han, a person with so much scandal, still be on the show? It's so disgusting that I don't even want to watch the talent show. Ugh.]
[↑Sisters, don’t click on the homepage, save the gender-fluid male, have been reported^^]
[Xiang Liang, this bald guy, is so shining among his three sisters. I am dying of laughter.]
[Senior sister has really become the senior sister of the boys’ group now. 】
"Now, all contestants, please say hello to the national producers."
The main camera turned to the 99 trainees. Jiang Huai bent down in the crowd and did a very standard 90-degree bow.
The first stage officially begins.
The first group of contestants to perform were three trainees from Shengyin Culture. Their performance could only be described as somewhat forced, and they received two Cs and one D.
The live broadcast was not audio-edited, and the system took a look at it for Jiang Huai. Many people in the barrage suggested that I could do it too.
The second group to come on stage was Jingming Media and the three people with him, and then it was Jiang Huai’s own turn.
There are more than a dozen camera positions for the live broadcast. You can watch specific camera positions by activating the platform SVIP, some of which are specifically for shooting the trainees in the audience.
When Jiang Huai left the table to wait for the show, he deliberately put on Yu Lan's vest, letting his eyes follow the figure of the real person leaving, waiting for CP fans to look back and discover:
"Wow! Yu Lan has been staring at Jiang Huai all this time!"
He controlled himself to sit up straighter, and waited until his real body completely entered the backstage before refocusing his gaze back on the stage. However, because there was no one to control him, his expression was still a little stiff.
But if you put it on that face, it can also be called "expressionless cold beauty".
There is no broadcast screen in the waiting room, so I don't know how the results of the same company will be. Based on the previous practice, Zhou Chengwen and Yin He should have no problem getting a B.
Pang Zheyan is the rap leader, but in order to ensure the overall effect of the three people, the song selection for the first stage is still mainly based on the singing part. I am afraid that his rating will be lower than the other two.
Jiang Huai finally fixed his hair and walked onto the stage. 819, who had been noisy and complaining, also quieted down.
Looking up, there were rows of seats filled with trainees, and in front of him were four instructors with very different styles. Jiang Huai glanced at the position of the camera lens, adjusted the headset, and signaled the background music to start playing.
He turned his back to the audience and began his performance.
When initially deciding on the song, Jiang Huai planned to perform again the original song that he sang when he participated in "Idol 101" in his previous life.
But as time went by, he felt that he had started a new life, which was completely different from the mood when he wrote the original song. It might be better to make something new that symbolizes a new beginning.
Sang Hong picked three options for Jiang Huai from Jingming Media's music library. He decided almost immediately after listening to them that this song should be it.
* "Bow to Him".
A dance song that combines elements of heavy metal rock, with passionate melody and strong rhythm.
In fact, Sang Hong least recommended him to choose this song, because the dance and vocal requirements for the performer are too high, and he is even performing solo, without any teammates to share the part. He is likely to face the problem of physical exhaustion in the second half of performing a song alone, and it is difficult to ensure the completion of the entire song.
But it doesn't matter.
Because he is JAC.
A deep and powerful guitar solo sounded. Jiang Huai closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the roar of heavy metal had already pierced the air.
He turned around.
The waist and abdomen are as tight as a bow and arrow, the core strength is condensed and exploded, with a beautiful staggered turn, the arm muscles with obvious signs of training show a beautiful shape, the boy's eyes are as unruly as a wolf, and the deliberately lowered voice has a penetrating power that cannot be ignored. Every word he sings is like the soul's struggle with all its strength.
When the song entered the chorus, Jiang Huai's strength did not decrease, and his movements were still precise, as if he had not expended any physical energy at all.
Under the spotlight, sweat dripped down his jawline onto the floor, then was instantly evaporated by the stage lights and disappeared invisibly.
When the movements were too up and down, Jiang Huai chose to preserve the intensity of the dance, and his singing was a little shaky, but the overall look and feel was still very good, making it difficult to be too critical of this detail.
The dance break session was a naked show of skill. The good basic skills from the rehabilitation were enough to show clear isolation. Jiang Huai's body parts seemed to be separated from each other. His shoulders, forearms, waist and even fingers rose and fell with the rhythm of the music, showing amazing control.
“The world finally bowed to him.”
At the end of the song, Jiang Huai was a little out of breath due to excessive physical exertion. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled more ostentatiously at the camera.
At the end, he faced the audience and bowed deeply again.
【What the hell.】
【Fuck!!!】
[The previous contestants were really defeated in seconds by comparison... The gap is too big. Who is this one? ]
【Jingming’s name is Jiang Huai. 】
[Aren't all Jingming trainees public? I've never heard of this person? Was he airdropped in?]
[I don't know. I think it should be this year's Prince Jingming?]
[Before, Hei Sixi was the Prince of Huatian, and now there is Jiang Huai, who is called the Prince of Jingming. Wake up, the feudal monarchy has been dead for a hundred years. Where does the prince come from in modern society? ]
The comments were filled with exclamations, interspersed with a few harmonious or discordant fights.
[The bow at the end of the performance is so solid, the baby is so polite. ]
[My husband is so handsome...]
[It's great, it's so shocking, it's beyond description, it's so shocking that it's like Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall, it feels like everyone. ]
[At the end, she panted towards the camera, so horny. From today on, she is the 0 at home. Don't worry, Xiao Huai, mom will pull your dick right away. ]
...and the mother's fans, father-in-law and mother-in-law all gathered together.
[This first stage is really strong, it feels like she has debuted for several years, and her sense of camera is really good. She should be in the top three in the first round of voting. ]
[It’s a bit difficult to get into the top three, as many of the people in this session were already well-known before they came, but I feel like they’ll still be popular once the official straight-shots are released.]
[The first A should be stable, and the hot search position tonight is reserved. 】
The trainees below the stage applauded loudly, and Jiang Huai even heard Zhou Chengwen and the contestants from other companies nearby boasting, "See, this is my Brother Jiang, isn't he super awesome?"
He breathed a sigh of relief from his previous state of concentration on the stage, and while the four mentors were discussing, he very professionally controlled Yu Lan to clap half a beat late, and smiled again.
Several mentors exchanged glances, made faces, and finally raised the signs in their hands at the same time.
He Chen, Xiang Liang and Shi Renran gave A, while singing instructor Xiao Wenping and rap instructor Yue Han gave B.
During the review session, the microphone was passed to Yue Han, and the baby-faced mentor cleared his throat: "The performance was very good overall. The song was very difficult, and it was great that the solo performance was so complete, but the dance was a bit too emphasized, and the singing effect was inevitably compromised. There was an interlude in the middle..."
She glanced at Xiang Liang. The bald male dance teacher moved his lips slightly and uttered two words: "Oh, the dance break segment. It was really fun to watch the snapping and jumping around, but there was almost no rap, which I find quite regrettable, so I gave it a B rating."
Yue Han smiled and said, "Three A's and two B's, congratulations on getting your first A on the first stage. What do you think?"
Jiang Huai adjusted the position of his headset again. Compared to the wanton aggression on the stage just now, his temperament became softer at this moment: "I think we should set up a segment to show singing and rap. I am also very strong in singing and rap. I will get this A from today until the debut night. Thank you everyone."
The instructor laughed: "You are quite confident. I look forward to your performance in the first performance."
Jiang Huai nodded in thanks and returned to his seat. Zhou Chengwen was even more excited than him, the first A himself, and pounded his legs twice.
The results of Jingming's trio were a little worse than he expected. Only Yin He got a B, while Pang Zheyan and Zhou Chengwen both got C.
Pang Zheyan made a slight mistake in his positioning, and Zhou Chengwen failed to take over the part in time. Zhou Chengwen has always been a silly and happy person, and he didn't think it was a big deal when he downshifted. But Pang Zheyan felt that he had hurt his teammates and felt very guilty. Jiang Huai comforted him with a few words and turned his eyes to the big screen.
The next contestant is Si Xi from Huatian Entertainment.
The trainee who had a brief moment of fame due to a Reuters photo three years ago was nicknamed "Prince Huatian".
She was also the final C position in the previous life of "Produce Trainee".
