Chapter 86
In fact, the question of which group Jie Xichao will join for his solo has been discussed online for a long time.
However, there was no result.
Unlike other contestants who are obviously biased in certain subjects, Xie Xichao is very versatile. He even found time to show off his rap, not to mention the other two more common ones.
It’s possible that Jie Xichao could go anywhere. In the words of his fans, “Why not just roll the dice?”
So, before today, even his close fans, no one knew which group he would join. Fortunately, this question will be revealed sooner or later. After all the vocal contestants finished their performances, everyone realized that it was probably the dance group.
But the dance group is also divided into different dance styles, and during the contestants’ preparation time, the discussion in the barrage was heated.
[Chinese style!] The response to the national style event last time was really good! Chinese dance solos are really impressive, and most importantly, I want to watch them! 】
[I want to see the morning singing lyrical songs... morning... lyrical songs...]
[Give up on the previous idea, hahaha, it’s impossible now. Dreaming of street dance? 】
[Ahhh, I think Chao is definitely going to do something different again. Haven't you noticed? He is really good at arranging his own exposure. The first public performance was a fresh campus style, the second public performance was a wild band style, and the third public performance was a Chinese style. What else is missing! 】
——One more time missing a proper boy band style.
The lights came on, and under the lights, which were brighter than ever before, was a calm face.
When the face appeared on the big screen at the same time, screams broke out at the scene.
[Fuck the battle damage!] 】
[Battle damage makeup ahhh this bloodstain is so beautiful ahhh I’m dying! 】
The boy changed his previous delicate and light makeup. His originally well-behaved and smooth black hair was now artificially made to look slightly messy. A few strands of hair covered his forehead, hiding some of his originally gentle eyebrows and eyes.
The most noticeable thing on his face were the several bloodstains of varying depths.
The bloodstains were distributed on the bridge of the nose and chin, which did not affect the facial features. He looked less innocent than usual, but more stern and nonchalantly murderous.
He walked to the center of the stage with such murderous intent and nodded to the staff beside him.
When the camera was pointed at his face again, he had already lowered his eyes and was ready.
Someone once analyzed Jie Xichao's stage expression management and found that he has a very obvious characteristic. That is, all the parts of him that are presented in the camera to attract the audience are the parts he wants the audience to see.
For example, the deliberate gaze when I was face to face just now.
For example, now, what is more important is obviously the dance that is about to begin, so he deliberately hid his face.
Of course, this action only lasted for a moment.
The next moment, when the intense accompaniment sounded, the boy suddenly raised his head.
In the moment before raising his hand to make the gesture, he smiled at the camera. At this moment, the audience's attention has been attracted by the familiar accompaniment.
The noise at the scene gradually rose, and on the stage, Xie Xichao had already begun his performance.
This is the most traditional male group song. The background music is filled with a lot of drum beats, and the accompaniment is a mixture of several electronic sound effects and percussion instruments, with a full sense of rhythm. It can be foreseen that if this is a group stage, then the adjectives most commonly used for boy groups will definitely be "burning" and "explosive".
The explosion of a group requires a group dance, so what does one person rely on to fill the entire stage?
Xie Xichao gave the answer.
That is the ultimate stomping ground.
Each beat corresponds to a movement. From fingertips to calves, every change of movement follows the beat implied in the melody. It is originally a strong rhythm dance music, and whether you can follow the beat is extremely important for the enjoyment of the dance.
And Xie Xichao did it almost exactly.
But even in such a fast-paced action, every move of Xie Xichao is still in place. It should be 90% and it should be 90%. Even if you measure it on site with a ruler, the angle will be precise and accurate.
Coupled with his already extremely stable core, the viewing experience of the entire stage was extremely comfortable.
……But.
It's not over yet.
The boy group dance that was pleasing to everyone seemed to be the most basic thing to Jie Xichao. He himself did not take it seriously at all. The occasional flash of his expression while dancing revealed nonchalance and ease, as if he was not performing a wonderful solo performance, but just eating or drinking water.
Until the dance break.
This is a song that was intercepted.
The opening is the chorus at the climax, in order to preserve this 45-second dance break.
This break started with Jie Xichao's sudden smile towards the camera. Then, accompanied by the bizarrely adapted accompaniment, various dance moves began to be performed one after another.
Breaking with one-handed spinning, locking with flexible and unrestrained hand movements, and the most common hip hop on the streets.
The basic movements of each dance style were adapted into a complete dance in the hands of Jie Xichao. It was so smooth without any pause, flowing smoothly and full of dynamics, almost dazzling.
This is naked show of skill.
The accumulation of skills is almost to the point of being brutal and unreasonable, but the bold behavior that would definitely fail on others becomes commonplace on Jie Xichao.
The same thing.
It seemed as if he was not dancing to some difficult moves that were so trivial that they were almost cumbersome, but to a simple and ordinary dance.
It would be more accurate to say that this piece of music was born for him rather than that he digested it.
In just forty-five seconds, he directly proved that no matter if he was the singing leader or the dancing leader, as long as he wanted, he could take on any position in the group.
On the last drum beat, his movements froze in a crisp and crisp manner.
Then he smiled at the camera and returned to his gentle and harmless appearance.
-
Xie Xichao walked off the stage amid screams from the audience and passed by Ai Qingyuan.
The latter gritted his teeth: "You fucking ..."
He had asked Jie Xichao about a solo song before, but this guy refused to tell him. It turned out that he was waiting here.
Xie Xichao said: "Your microphone is not turned off."
Ai Qingyuan:?
He quickly looked down and found that he was not wearing a microphone at all. I was so angry that I laughed.
"Come back to see you." he said.
His solo is ranked third, and he is next.
Xie Xichao said, "Wait for you."
These two words were said lightly, but Ai Qingyuan could feel the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated on the stage. He was silent for a moment, glared at the person behind him with what he thought was a fierce look, and then hurried to the waiting area.
On the other side, Ji Yan and Guan Heng came to their senses in the audience. Amid the screams of the audience, Ji Yan said in a daze: "The first time I saw him... I thought he was just here to make a living by relying on his looks."
Why did Xie Xichao’s solo cause such a heated response?
One reason is that he is a good stage player.
Another reason is his choice of music.
The song he chose was "Victory", the debut song of the same name by the boy band Victory, which created a boom in that year. This is a legendary boy band. They became popular as soon as they debuted, and then continued to rise. They disbanded at the peak of their popularity, but they are still the white moonlight in the hearts of many show fans.
At that time, the contract period had not been extended step by step like it is now, and the value of the draft had not yet been seen. It can be said that Victory is the key to opening the talent show market.
After them, various talent shows flourished, but no one, including their direct junior groups, created the same prosperity as Victory did.
Some people say that Victory’s name alone carries the mysterious meaning of being destined to become a hit.
"Victory" is like a prophecy and also like an expectation. Many people have covered their songs, but few have covered this one.
It's not only because of the high skills and difficulty, but also because the name of the group seems to have recognized its master. Victory, together with the Victory of that year, has been buried in the dust of time with their glorious achievements.
Today, Xie Xichao returned to the stage with this song.
It is both a tribute and a battle song.
His own battle song.
The excitement at the scene lasted for a long time, and I never expected that I would see such a solo barrage that completely became a sea of emotions.
[Who understands ah ah ah my V group, I really do! Double ecstasy... I have always wanted to say that Xi Chao has the shadow of a generation of orthodox idols, dedicated and beautiful, truly worthy of the word idol, I will really cry]
[A very, very good solo, and a very perfect ending.] I will never let you down TT】
[He has never been a rookie or a Buddhist. He is an almighty idol who is full of ambition and confidence to make a breakthrough in the idol world. I am not a fan, but I feel really deeply.]
[Be bold, it’s the entertainment industry]
[Let’s walk the flower path with the debut group. I have never been so confident before. The debut group will definitely become a big hit. Jie Xichao will definitely become a big hit. I’m putting my words here! 】
All kinds of blessings, all kinds of emotions.
At this moment, everyone's atmosphere was truly aroused by Jie Xichao. No one had ever been so looking forward to the birth of a group.
As if to suit the occasion, after the solo performance, Dou Yu announced the list of seats:
Zou Yi.
*
Except for Jie Xichao, the rest of the dance group's performances were basically mediocre.
Ye Yiyang and Qi Hang still made use of their different dance styles to their advantage. It is worth mentioning that Ai Qingyuan, as if he wanted to compete with Jie Xichao, he put in all his effort and performed beyond his normal level.
He stepped down from the stage and Jie Xichao applauded him. Ai Qingyuan snorted, but was still comforted by his generous compliments and forgave the man for what he had hidden from him before.
After the dance group, it is the rap group.
In the rap group, Fu Wen Ze and Qiao Ye appeared one after another, forming a sharp and tragic contrast.
However, for Qiao Ye, being able to stand on the stage well was already overcoming a huge psychological barrier. He has completely fallen into despair and is no longer sure whether he will be ridiculed or not. Anyway, he has been ridiculed by the whole Internet.
And what the audience cares about is no longer the so-called performance.
【What about the ranking!】 Bring it to me quickly! Don’t delay any longer! 】
[I am afraid I will sing "Victory"! Program crew, do you understand what's going on? Give me the best configuration, understand? 】
【It's on fire.jpg】
[Really, I am now really confident in our debut group. I always feel that we can punch XX and kick XX. Please fill in the blanks of XX. If you want to scold, scold me instead of our little group.]
[It’s ok, be bold. The draft group will definitely be targeted by the groups of the same period from major companies. After all, they have their own popularity and are trying to grab the cake. If you want to dream, dream big. My group has been successful in the same period, and my group has reached the top [love]]
[You pseudo-group fans who are looking forward to the future, wake up! They haven’t debuted yet. I’m dying of laughter.]
[No matter what, I will definitely debut, Xingyun, listen to me, you must give me a lead singer.]
Not debuted yet, but will be soon.
The position is not shaken, but the person sitting in the blocking position at this moment is indeed a genuine lead singer.
Backstage, Zou Yi's throat tightened.
This was the closest he had ever been to hope.
After this round of ticket reservation, the remaining fifteen trainees will be divided into two teams for a collective performance.
The two Cs are Ai Qingyuan and Jie Xichao. Jie Xichao still had the battle-damaged makeup on, but compared to his solo, he looked like a different person in the group song with a more refreshing style. Only the two bloodstains on his face reminded everyone that they had not lost their memories.
The barrage has been conquered.
[It's just a variety of things, draw a blind box every day, right?]
[To be precise, it is one hour]
【So many people.jpg】
After all the performances were finished, the final moment finally arrived.
Fifteen trainees walked onto the stage together and stood in order according to their final rankings in the third public performance. For a moment, there was silence on and off the stage.
Although everyone came to the scene tonight and stayed in front of the screen for this moment, when this moment really came, everyone's mood was still very complicated.
After a moment, Dou Yu spoke up: "Then, let me announce the final ranking."
After several months of hard work and a long tug-of-war-like wait, the dust is finally settling at this moment.
There was no expression on anyone's face.
But in everyone’s heart, at this moment, it is a world of changing light and shadow.
Xie Xichao was standing on the far left, looking at the fans in the sea of stars below the stands. He saw many banners supporting him, and a few months ago, he was just a college student who had just woken up from a hospital bed.
He lowered his eyes, smiled lightly, and watched Dou Yu take out the process card from the staff.
The first position reported is fourth.
Dou Yu glanced at the process card, paused for two seconds, and said with a smile: "Well... this is a contestant who is good at singing and dancing, and has a particularly special voice."
[The first half of the sentence is nonsense, the second half... I finally realized that there are too many high-position lead singers]
[I am dying of laughter. It must be Yun Pan.]
[Band voice? Among the high rankings, his voice was indeed said to be special, and the ranking was close.]
Dou Yu continued: "He is very young."
If everyone was still unsure about the previous sentence, it is very clear who this sentence is referring to.
All the trainees looked at him. Yun Pan blushed and subconsciously looked to the left. As if noticing his gaze, Jie Xichao turned around, smiled and mouthed "come on!"
[Okay, look at his brother again, our Pan really looks like a clingy little puppy hahaha]
「No, I have a feeling that someone will be cueed a lot tonight.」
