Chapter 151
Although he sighed, Xie Xichao didn't say anything to the trainees on the stage. Scored as usual. They were even asked to take an additional test.
In fact, Jie Xichao will give opportunities to those who request for additional tests. Relying on Bing Mei-shi's power and a director team that dared not speak out, it was obvious that few trainees seized this opportunity.
This group is no exception.
After the lead singer who sang a cappella solo and trembled went down with a face full of shame, Jie Xichao made a pause gesture to the director team.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the silent trainees behind him. He said, "I looked at your contestant information before. I remember that several trainees wrote "Idol they want to be" and it was The Phoenix. Who were they?"
His tone was calm.
The trainees who had thought they would be scolded like in the variety show routine looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a moment, several people raised their hands.
Two of the groups had performed before, and they raised their hands with a guilty conscience. I wish I could hide among the crowd.
Xie Xichao did not embarrass them and said to the other groups of contestants, "You go first."
This is a temporary change. But it doesn’t actually affect anything.
Because they follow a routine, the editing order will not be the performance order.
The program team assumed that they understood Xichao's actions. Even Ma Hongping rarely agreed to understand Xi Chao.
He sighed to Lu Yan in a low voice: "The qualifications of this class are really too poor."
Lu Yan shrugged: "Our show alone is already in its fourth season."
"Super Rookie" alone has reached its fourth season, not to mention all the other talent shows that are just a different take on the same old thing.
The first people to try something new are often the most serious. They have fear and expectation for the unknown, and all they can do is to do their best. Most of the latecomers step on the achievements of their predecessors, and most of them actually come to enjoy the fruits that have already been harvested.
TP was an accident.
But accidents are hard to come by, and in most cases, mediocrity is the norm.
The two looked at the stage with some melancholy and worry on their faces.
But Xie Xichao didn't notice their gaze.
-
He waited for a while and made sure there was no reminder in the headset, and he knew that the director team had tacitly agreed to his approach. So he nodded and signaled the trainees on the stage to start at will. Soon, a group of trainees walked up tentatively.
This group of trainees were wearing red and black clothes, which were obviously specially matched by the company.
Generally speaking, trainees who are valued by the company are not too bad in their abilities. Sure enough, after a set of energetic songs and dances, the atmosphere in the venue warmed up a little.
The trainees on the stage were also very excited. They looked at Jie Xichao with some hope in their eyes.
Xie Xichao lived up to their expectations, and his first words were: "Very good."
"Senior Qi Lin's solo song." He said, "The arrangement is good and the dance is in unison."
He paused and said in a gentle voice, "This song is difficult to dance to, so it's impossible to sing and dance at the same time, right?"
During the performance just now, this group of trainees did not use the microphone at all and just lip-synced.
Xie Xichao didn't care whether they would be dubbed in the later stage. The director team asked him to be realistic, so he asked very directly, and the trainees on the stage blushed.
The second group comes from Wen Yao, who is Yun Pan’s direct junior.
Xie Xichao sat up a little straighter and watched their performance attentively.
This is a relatively fresh boy band song, which fits in with the concept of the entire company. His appearance also fits the description, a handsome and delicate little boy.
After the performance, Xie Xichao picked up the microphone and paused for two seconds: "Have you contacted your senior brother before coming here?"
The captain picked up the microphone nervously: "...Senior brother came to see us practice when he came back."
Xie Xichao said "hmm": "What did you say?"
"Just..." The captain's voice became smaller and smaller, "Let's not be nervous and do our best."
A very hopeful statement.
Xie Xichao could almost imagine the expression on the other party's face when he racked his brains and finally came up with such a sentence.
No wonder Yun Pan felt a little guilty when he saw him these two days.
He said succinctly: "My breath is not good, and my dancing is not in sync. This song is not difficult. I will go back and watch the original video to figure it out."
After several groups finished their performances, the last trainee adjusted his headset and stood in the center of the stage with his eyes downcast.
Almost the moment he came on the court, whispers began to be heard from the audience.
-
Every draft has one or two trainees like this.
From the initial evaluation, they have been the focus of everyone's attention. And in the end, most of them will at least debut at a high position. In short, it is the so-called debut hot spot.
Liang Yi is such a person.
Xie Xichao had an impression of him. Because this person is sitting in the position he once sat in.
He became slightly interested and motioned for the other party to start.
The next moment, a familiar accompaniment sounded. There was a cry of surprise at the scene. Jie Xichao paused while flipping through the documents and raised his eyes, just in time to meet the boy's silent and murderous gaze.
A familiar and intense accompaniment sounded in their ears. The boy started singing, and the first line of the lyrics fell into everyone's ears. Lin Ying, who was standing next to them, raised her head with interest. She whispered, "Very steady."
The tone is relatively hoarse, obviously the technique has been practiced. In terms of listening quality, he is much better than the previous 90% of the trainees.
What Xie Xichao was watching was his dancing.
The boy has excellent dancing sense. He does a great job in both the beat and the rhythm.
As the song reached its climax, suppressed, excited whispers could be heard behind me.
Xie Xichao listened attentively. It was not until the last note ended that he began to listen to the sound of his finger knuckles tapping lightly to the beat.
With the microphone on, the boy's breathing could be clearly heard.
After a few seconds of silence, Xie Xichao spoke:
"fine."
The further back in time goes, the more concise Xie Xichao becomes. He stopped being euphemistic and said if something was good, it really was good.
Liang Yi looked at him with burning eyes: "Thank you, teacher."
"Teacher Dou's "Serious Illness"." Xie Xichao smiled, "It was also your senior's first evaluation stage that year. It's not easy to sing. Why did you choose this song?"
In the fourth season of "Super Rookie", TP's current operating company Shenghong only had one trainee, Liang Yi. His song choice surprised everyone, because the song he chose, "Chen Illness", was not only the solo of Dou Yu, the mentor of the third season of "Super New", but also the initial evaluation stage where TP's current dancer Ai Qingyuan performed.
Ai Qingyuan got an A, but because of the two shaky voice transitions in his singing, he had a direct conflict with Jie Xichao.
Everyone still remembers this incident clearly.
Liang Yi said: "I want to prove myself."
Xie Xichao nodded.
This child is both proud and sharp.
He could see that.
Liang Yi's performance brought the whole atmosphere to a climax.
He was the most popular player before the game and was the top seed in everyone's eyes. Not to mention anything else, just now, there are a bunch of fans buying his stocks outside the iron gate.
Everyone is here to be the C in the draft.
The mentor group had previously given two A's, one was the A that was earned due to his expertise in composing music, and the other was an artist who had already debuted and was returning to the group from a small company. He had actually already participated in group activities, but came back to debut again because his popularity was too obscure. Everyone thought that Liang Yi would be the third A to appear in this recording, and would also be the first real A to be obtained as a singing and dancing trainee.
That was why, when Xie Xichao said the letter "B", even Liang Yi himself did not react.
"This score is mainly given by me." Xie Xichao said, "Actually, I can give you an A. But I think that since you chose to sit in the highest position, you should want more real and objective evaluation, rather than comparative evaluation."
The gentle tone was still unhurried, making the whole audience quiet down.
Liang Yi looked at him and slowly clenched his palms.
What Xie Xichao said is right.
But this also means that in Xie Xichao's heart, he is not worthy of being the opponent and teammate of the opponent.
Not even qualified to be a trainee.
“Being an idol is not that easy.”
Jie Xi Chao Dao.
It was for him and for everyone present.
"I know that everyone is sitting here today for various reasons. But I hope everyone understands one thing, that is, debuting is just the simplest beginning for you."
"The talent show is indeed a free ride," Xie Xichao said, "but those who are not strong enough will be squeezed out if they get on. Only by respecting the stage and this profession can you go a long way. This is my advice to you."
"Okay." He lowered his eyes and continued calmly, "Next group."
*
The recording of that day lasted until 1:30 in the morning, and in the end three A's were awarded, which did not even fill the five spots for the debut group.
The contestants still had to go to the dormitory to take pictures of their check-in, so several mentors returned to the backstage. Ma Hongping came over to greet Jie Xichao. Before he opened his mouth, Jie Xichao understood his intention. He said directly: "You can edit whatever I say. But please don't graft it."
Grafting means taking the reaction to one person and transferring it to another person. Ma Hongping quickly responded.
Then he touched his nose and said, "This generation of kids... all come from well-off families. They haven't suffered much. They all want to be big stars just because of their looks, and their fans also dote on them."
He wasn't making excuses, he was just stating the facts.
Although some of the five people selected by TP back then were pretty and had good family backgrounds, their situations were rather special and none of them had a smooth life. It’s been a while since I made it to debut, but with Jie Xichao’s guidance, self-discipline has become a habit.
Xie Xichao said, “I know.”
“So I’m just giving advice,” he said. “It’s up to them whether they listen or not.”
Ma Hongping said, "Oh, I know. I'm just afraid that you'll get mad at yourself."
Xie Xichao: “…”
He looked at Ma Hongping's plain face. His left eye showed honesty, while his right eye showed innocence.
In a trance, he seemed like a really honest man.
He said: "...Thank you, Director Ma. I'm fine."
He is fine.
Someone else is angry.
After returning, Ai Qingyuan, who had learned the news in advance, pressed Jie Xichao on the sofa and interrogated him a hundred times, asking who danced "Chen Zai" better between Liang Yi and him. Jie Xichao answered immediately:
"Teacher Dou."
Ai Qingyuan couldn't believe it: "You have to be nice to me? Do you know Liang Yi and you are nice to me?"
Xie Xichao, who habitually kept things in check, said: “…”
It seems so.
However, the situation was irreversible and Ai Qingyuan left with a hurt look on his face. Fu Wenze on the side said:
"He's your fan. I mean, Liang Yi. Xiao Ai knew about this before."
Jie Xichao suddenly realized.
No wonder my brother looked a little depressed after what he said.
Liang Yi is Shenghong’s top pick this year. Sheng Hong's aesthetic has been the same for ten years. Bking, who comes from a well-off family, likes to act cool, but he didn't expect that the two princes he raised have the same aesthetic.
The former prince was so angry about failing to win favor that he ignored his teammates for 3 hours and 27 minutes. The current prince worked hard for a week and won the initial C. When meeting the other party's eyes that were still bking as before but with hidden expectation, Jie Xichao rarely praised him seriously.
After this week, "Super New" finally started airing. On the night of the premiere, unsurprisingly, Xie Xichao was on the hot search list before any other contestants.
