Day 20
With three cowards, Dal-pei has already made himself interesting. The contrast between his appearance before and after entering the door is enough to make everyone laugh.
But Min Hai couldn't do that. Although he was shrinking the whole time and it was quite funny, he didn't show much. The ghosts in the middle were all driven away by Fu Xunyan waving a clothes rack he picked up.
"Brother Min Hai, they asked you to sing the theme song!"
"Theme song! Ah! Theme song! What's the theme song!"
"Fool, thousands of stars!" Da Pei also screamed.
"I forgot the lyrics! The lyrics are..."
"I remember now! To~ah~get warmth~ah~~~! Towards, towards what were we running?"
The original mood of collapse was immediately dispelled by Min Hai's jokes. Fu Xunyan couldn't help laughing. Da Pei laughed so hard that he forgot the little incident that had just happened. He leaned on Fu Xunyan's shoulder, his whole body shaking with laughter.
"We, we must shine as brightly as shooting stars~ Yes! Yes, brightly! Shine! We must shine!"
[Min Hai Xiao Juice, I thought you were a cool guy with that silver buzz cut, but it turns out you’re a comedian]
[Hahaha, things that shine brightly are indeed shining]
[Run towards the sun, you fool!]
[With this sudden shift in tone, Min Hai is definitely the vocal leader from now on. No one is allowed to compete with him for this position!]
The second group was too funny. Da Pei's stubbornness, Yan Da's sweet voice, the blind monk's attack, and hahahaha, I want to laugh just thinking about it, and Min Hai's passionate singing.
[The first group... well, Zhou Hengyu is too pretentious. Originally, he and my daughter Ye Zi were in the same company during their first performance, and I quite liked him, but...]
[I get it, I get it. If you're scared, then be scared. But deliberately blocking my son's camera is a bit too much.]
[How did the above person know that he was intentionally blocking the camera? Everyone else is a conspirator, right?]
It's obvious. If someone's scared, they'll either crouch down or run in the opposite direction. Why would they turn over and face the leaves with their back to the ghost? Cover yourself up with leaves!
[That Kenny is really handsome, but why does he seem so invisible?]
[I also think Zhou Hengyu might have overreacted. He was screaming the entire time and stole all the scenes. And at the end, it was clearly Kenny who heard the zombies singing first, with their mouths open, but Zhou Hengyu insisted on stealing the spotlight. Now he's not scared anymore?]
[Compared to the next door, Fu Xunyan even took the initiative to cue Min Hai to sing...]
[Yeah, I can only say that a person's character is instantly apparent. Wait—could he be the one rumored to be ostracizing treasure hunters?]
When Fu Xunyan walked out of the door with his family, he saw Ye Lai opposite him with a complicated expression.
"Welcome to 'One Day Idol'! You've all passed our test, and now it's time for the discussion~"
Unexpectedly, before Dong Ge could finish his words, Da Pei stepped on the side of the stage like a hot wheel, as if he was going to hit someone. He pretended to punch the air and then smiled and pushed it away. "Ah, the production team is so cunning. The cool guy image I worked so hard to establish is destroyed in an instant."
Dong Dong also understood the show's purpose. He pretended to dodge twice before pointing at Dal Bae with a smile, "I watched the whole thing on the monitor. Your character is so fake. We on the show are the ones who did the good deed by exposing you."
"Since you dare to hit the host, you're done. Let me start with you." Dong Dong took out something like a resume from somewhere and began to review Da Pei's personal skills, mainly focusing on the official photos and personal introduction videos.
They haven't debuted yet, so there's nothing to dig up even if you want to.
As for Zhou Hengyu, although Dong Dong didn't cue him, he took the initiative to talk about his experience of learning lockin and hip-hop.
"Let me show you a clip."
Then Min Hai, who had been pale just now, became even paler.
[Min Hai: I can’t bear to watch this. Which dance studio taught this? Please avoid me in the future.]
[To be honest, it’s not bad, but there’s nothing worth showing off.]
[I clicked, but it's still not funny. Qiuqiu, please quit now. I want to see Kenny and Fu Xunyan's faces!!!]
"So what kind of person is Xiao Zhou in his daily life? As a colleague at the company, Ye Lai, would you like to share some information?"
Recalling the company's admonition that "he is a straightforward person but too simple-minded and easily deceived by others", Ye Lai scoffed.
The audience only saw the handsome young man, who looked as fresh as the warm sun, smile and say, "He's very straightforward (key point)."
Dong Dong was puzzled and looked at him, "What about the second half of the sentence?"
Ye Lai seemed to "suddenly understand" at the reminder, ignoring Zhou Hengyu's anxious gaze beside him, "Ah, because he's very straightforward, everyone will slowly discover his charm. If I say it now, wouldn't it be like revealing a treasure (emphasis) and a surprise (emphasis)?"
At first glance, it doesn't seem to be a problem, but upon closer inspection, it becomes a serious problem. Isn't Ye Lai implying that what everyone saw was the real Zhou Hengyu? What happens when his first public song selection is released? The stars didn't communicate with "New Century" to cut that part.
But no one reacted at the time. After all, Ye Lai spoke too confidently. Zhou Hengyu was still feeling lucky that his competitor did not say anything bad about him. Instead, he very "fairly" advised the audience to discover his charm on their own.
Min Hai and Kenny both passed smoothly, and the last one was Fu Xunyan's turn.
The program crew was not in a position to speak directly about the bullying incident, so they had to approach the issue from a different direction.
Dong Dong felt a little sorry, but he still followed the script and asked, "I heard that our trainee Fu Xunyan is very inspiring. Is he an orphan?"
"Yes." The young man did not shy away from the question, "Grandpa picked me up when I was ten months old. Grandma and Grandpa's son died in a car accident twenty years ago, so he has been living alone.
"He told me that he saw me on the ridge of the field that day and thought I was very cute."
"He was even sighing, saying that such a beautiful child wasn't abandoned. God must have thought he was too lonely and gave it to him."
Fu Xunyan didn't make himself look sad or anything, but rather filled with the warmth of memories - compared to how good his grandfather was to him, everything else was not a part of his memory that needed to be kept.
His bitterness was only because those scenes were too warm, but now everything has returned to nothingness.
The filming crew was a bit overwhelmed, and several shallow-eyed male and female staff members had already started fanning themselves with their heads tilted back. Dong Dong suppressed the strange feeling in his throat and said, "What a pity! Grandpa is gone before I can repay him."
"Yeah." The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes casting a shadow.
"If you want to say something to grandpa, trainee Fu Xunyan, what would you like to say?"
Fu Xunyan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't have anything to say. If Grandpa could hear me, he would surely have been paying attention to me. No matter how much I say, it's better to prove with my actions that I'm growing up well and working towards a better life. I haven't made him regret picking me up and raising me for more than ten years."
"I think he must be very relieved."
"If I must say. Well, if there is an afterlife, I hope he can be more selfish, live well for himself, and take good care of himself.
If he has children, I hope they can be more independent and not cause him too much worry.
He loves to work hard to support his children, and he hopes they will act easygoing enough so that his grandfather won't work so hard."
[……]
[……]
[It’s broken, my eye drops are white]
[I can’t help but think of my grandparents. Many elderly people in their generation were like this. They lived a frugal life and never enjoyed anything until they died. They saved everything for their children.]
[Wow wow wow, my grandpa just passed away a while ago. He ran away from home many times because he felt that his illness was a burden to his family. Wow wow wow]
[Speechless, tears unstoppable...]
Fu Xunyan's grandfather must be really relieved. Even though those people bullied him so much, he still tried to find a way to study and took the college entrance examination despite the great pressure.
**
"Oh, it's the first day that Brother Fu is away. I miss him." Duan Qiqi was still acting funny in front of the camera, and the next second the person next to him slapped the paper on his face.
Bai Zhen smiled evilly with that angelic face: "Your brother Fu left a gift for you, come and practice quickly, you are a big C."
Duan Qiqi has a lot of grievances that she can't express.
Who understands? A few days ago, Brother Fu made a super abnormal plan. He got up at 7 o'clock and went to bed at 11 o'clock. Even the time for going to the toilet and eating was precisely controlled to the second.
Even though Fu Xunyan was the only one in their group who stayed up late to revise the song, under Fu Xunyan's supervision, their efficiency was definitely the highest in the base.
Brother Fu has told them more than once that he does not stop them from using shots of them staying up late in the practice room to win the audience's sympathy and love, but he still hopes that everyone can take care of their health to the extent possible.
Don't put off until night what you can concentrate on during the day.
The classrooms next door always shoot some game clips as materials under the guise of break time, but in reality they just practice the game for one minute for two hours, and then sacrifice their sleep time at night to make up for the practice shots.
The newcomers of "Wind, Another Night of Rain" felt the deformity deeply.
Although Fu Xunyan's suggestion may make them lose some opportunities to "attract attention", several people happen to agree with Fu Xunyan's ideas.
Call them naive or brainless, they just want to do their best on stage.
Duan Qiqi is young but smart. He thinks this is better - except for Fu Xunyan, the big star in their group, the rest of the people are all unpopular, and since it is a lyrical song, it is impossible for the program team to choose their material to play.
It would be foolish to abandon the stage and do useless work under such circumstances.
Duan Qiqi took the newly arranged piece and only glanced at it before she asked in surprise, "Oh my god, Brother Fu finished it in just two nights. What's his speed?"
Duan Qiqi is a music student. Although he is a newcomer in singing and dancing, he is not good at music. He looked at it a few times while talking, and his feet and hands couldn't help but beat the rhythm with the notes.
"This..." Duan Qiqi's eyes were filled with tears. "This change is too good. Brother Fu is simply a genius!"
He shook his head excitedly, pushed the curious music teacher off his chair, and immediately performed a piece on the electronic keyboard.
"Wind, Another Night of Rain" was written by a folk singer and his good friend thirty years ago. At that time, it was during the labor strike. Where he lived, many middle-aged people were fired from the factories and lost their means of supporting their families. In despair, they jumped off the Wind and Rain Bridge.
So the theme of this song is full of sadness, but the singer's underlying tone is positive. While expressing sympathy and comfort, the second half of the song takes a sharp turn, conveying infinite power.
The song is good and was very popular at the time, but today, thirty years later, even though young people still acknowledge its quality, they can't help but feel that it is "not fashionable enough."
Each era has its own musical taste, and there is nothing to criticize about it. What Fu Xunyan needs to do is to incorporate elements of modern music, so that the whole song retains its emotions, and make adjustments to the arrangement to make it more in line with the appetites of contemporary people.
The rhythm was the first to be changed, especially in the second half. The metronome speed, which was originally still slow, was greatly increased, and the beats of the notes became compact and powerful.
Then, the instrumentation was greatly enhanced, with strong drum beats added in. The heavy bass drum was as powerful as a heartbeat, and every hit shook the soul.
The crisp snare drum interspersed at the right time adds a bright atmosphere to the music. At the same time, the relatively simple string paving in lyrical songs is abandoned, and a modern electric guitar melody is incorporated.
The original lyrics "The sun grows in my field/Dear migratory birds/Please hear my plea/Come back from the south" sound more like a desperate cry against the background sound of Qi Qi.
After Fu Xunyan's adaptation, the whole song became more grand, like light breaking through the dark clouds and pouring in.
Bai Zhen couldn't quite understand the music score, but even with the simple equipment, he could feel his heart trembling when Duan Qiqi played the basic tune.
This song is touching.
