Chapter 102 Preparation
When Mo Bei walked out of the room, he happened to run into Bai Li who had just finished washing up.
He didn't ask Mo Bei where he was going, but just calmly made way. However, his meaningful look still made Mo Bei feel a little unusual.
Recalling what he had just done, he suddenly paused.
Just now, because there was no one else around, he subconsciously spoke to Min Zhengyu in Korean.
Of course, the main reason was that his brain suddenly short-circuited and he couldn't remember how to express it in English, so...
Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned back to look at Bai Li. However, the other party had already turned around and started his night skin care.
Bai Li must know something.
But since he didn't ask any further questions, it would be inappropriate for me to initiate the issue, so I just went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
Mo Bei's small mistake just now also made Min Zhengyu suspicious. When he went to the dormitory next door to LEVELUP, Min Zhengyu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you speak Korean?"
“Alittle.”
Mo Bei replied with what he once said: "I learned it by myself."
Min Zhengyu was a bit surprised when he heard this. After all, Brother Mo Nan's pronunciation was almost as good as a native K-speaker's. Could it be that he actually possessed the same exceptional linguistic talent as himself?
Although he was confused, he did not ask too many questions.
After all, how to play the guitar better is what he cares about most now.
Mo Bei didn't say much. He just picked up the guitar next to him and repeated the song the other party had just played.
Even though he had only listened to it once, he was already able to reproduce the melody perfectly and smoothly, which made Min Zhengyu feel very magical.
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
Mo Bei pointed at the guitar and said, "Haveatry."
Min Zhengyu took the guitar and began to play it seriously. Although he didn't stumble, it certainly didn't sound smooth.
"You're too nervous."
After the performance, Mo Bei pointed out the problem very directly.
“The instrument and the performer are connected. The performer’s personal state will be reflected in the instrument.”
"Just like you can't sing or dance well when you're extremely nervous."
"Actually, as a beginner, you are fully capable of playing this piece smoothly. It's just that you lack confidence, which affects your overall performance and makes the guitar sound a little tight."
"What you need to do now is not to repeat the exercises, but to learn to relax."
"Relax your mind, relax your heart, and relax your hands."
"Try playing again after you've rested enough. Don't overthink it. Just play as you normally practice. It will be fine."
After listening to Mo Bei's words, Min Zhengyu smiled and lowered his eyes slightly. His face, which usually had a cheerful smile, showed a rare gloom.
"I was definitely a little nervous."
"I'm not as fast as others in learning musical instruments. Hyun Jae and Jae Hee have almost mastered them, but I'm still worried about forgetting the music."
"Maybe my brother is right. I really should relax a little."
Mo Bei nodded.
Learning a musical instrument is not a one-day job. It is obviously impossible for them to reach proficiency in just two weeks. So as long as they can reach the level of a normal beginner without making mistakes, it will be fine.
What's more, musical instruments only play a supporting role in their performance. The singing part is more important, and we must not put the cart before the horse.
The help he could provide was minimal, and the other party would have to overcome these difficulties on their own.
Back in the dormitory room, Bai Li, who was doing a shoulder and neck massage, suddenly spoke up -
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed if you suddenly speak Korean to someone?"
Hearing this, Mo Bei, who was about to go to bed, suddenly stopped.
Sure enough, Bai Li already knew the true identity of the zombie Jiang Mo Nan.
However, he couldn't admit it.
"Exposing what?"
Mo Bei started to play dumb, "I also learned Korean on the spot."
As if having guessed his reaction long ago, Bai Li didn't say much, only saying: "There are cameras everywhere here. Although I can help you cover it up this time, I'm not sure next time."
“…”
"Thanks."
Mo Bei thanked Bai Li sincerely.
As for what he was thanking the other party for, he did not say it clearly.
The two sides kept a tacit understanding with each other, and no one broke the window paper.
After a long time, Bai Li turned over and waved his hand: "I'm sleepy, turn off the lights and go to sleep."
…
Rehearsal D-1.
After completing a makeup rehearsal, the members borrowed the program team's camera to watch the live playback of the rehearsal, and then began the final review meeting.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Bai Li's dancing is much better than when she first started practicing, and her expressions on stage are also great."
"Xiao Zhong's expressions could be more relaxed. The same goes for Xiao Tie and A Chuan. It would be better if they could show more expressions on stage. After all, the theme of this song is explosion, so we'd better not be too restrained."
"Xingye's rap was great, very exciting. Mo Nan's performance was perfect, there was nothing to complain about. Chu Heng's vocals were also very stable."
"Lei Lie is full of wildness and aggression, which perfectly fits the temperament of this song."
"As long as we correct the minor flaws I just mentioned, our performance will definitely become one of the best stages of this show."
As the captain, Sheng Yanyu is dedicated to his duties. He will strictly control the overall details of the stage and pay attention to the performance of each member.
A team needs a captain who can coordinate the overall situation, dare to tell the truth, and strictly control the members.
Everyone knows that Sheng Yanyu did this for the sake of the team and the stage, so no one complained even though everyone needed to practice intensively and focus on details during this period.
After all, this stage competition concerns the honor of the entire group, and no one can be immune.
The song "Fire" itself is a fiery, high-intensity dance track, with an equally intense rhythm. For members with strong dance skills, this choreography is naturally not a big problem. However, for those with less dancing skills, this choreography is somewhat painful to perform, not to mention having to sing at the same time, which can easily lead to painful masking.
Although the members are not in pain, there are still various details.
Sheng Yanyu hopes that every member will shine as brightly as possible in their performances. Originore is a group that, only when everyone shines, can they radiate the brilliance of a rare mineral, just like the group's name.
There is still some time before the official performance, so everyone brainstormed to make the stage quality even better.
So after the rehearsal, the members gathered in the practice room to correct their shortcomings bit by bit.
By the second rehearsal the next day, everyone's performance was much more impressive than yesterday.
"Excellent! Everyone, keep this up and make it to the finals!"
When Sheng Yanyu was at Zaoxing Entertainment, he was trained by the company as the team leader, so he is very good at uniting the team and inspiring people.
Although he knew that with their current performance it would be difficult to compete with veteran groups like Freez and SEXYcode who had debuted for seven or eight years or even more than ten years.
Not only do they have strong singing and dancing skills, but they also have rich stage experience. These are not things they can instantly make up for with just half a month of intensive training.
Even so, as the leader, he didn't want to undermine the members' confidence, because if there was no hope, it would be difficult for everyone to work together towards the goal.
As the captain, he not only has to be strict with training, but also has to learn how to guide.
After all, a donkey cannot pull the mill obediently with just a whip but no carrot.
Moreover, the members themselves knew that it would not be easy for them to win this victory. Although "Fire" is a good song, and one can tell that it will definitely have good performance in the future, the song itself is far from enough.
They don't want netizens to say that it's a disservice to let them sing the song "Fire", nor do they want people to think that audition groups are necessarily inferior to groups produced by large idol agencies.
The first performance was their debut song, which they had practiced every day for a full month, from before their debut to after. Although they had made some adjustments before the performance, the foundation they had practiced before was definitely there, so it couldn't have been too bad.
However, "Fire" was a new song they had just received last week, making it more difficult to sing and dance, and they didn't have as much time to prepare as they did last time. This meant they couldn't perform as smoothly as they did with "Lemonade." Therefore, they had to put more thought into this song, practicing and polishing it as much as possible within the limited time available.
After all, many times, details determine success or failure.
And it turns out that this strategy is very effective.
Compared to the beginning, their teamwork has become even more seamless. Not only did they manage to avoid looking back or bumping into other members, but even those with less expressive expression have become more adept at radiating their charisma in front of the camera. It's safe to say the overall quality of the performance has been elevated to a new level.
After the rehearsal, the members, still on edge, didn't dare to relax easily. They planned to go to the practice room to record another singing and dancing version to see how it would turn out.
Various music sounds could also be heard from other practice rooms on the same floor. It was obvious that the members of other groups were also unwilling to return to the dormitory to rest with peace of mind.
This also makes the members more motivated.
I placed the phone on a stand on the floor of the practice room and pressed the record button. Then, the sound of coordinated footsteps accompanied by music rang out in the practice room.
The beginning of autumn has just passed and the weather has gradually turned cooler. Even if the air conditioner is not turned on, it does not feel particularly hot at night.
After the song ended, the members were about to bend down to rest when the night breeze blew into the practice room through the wide-open windows, reducing the dryness in the hot room.
"It's so cool."
Zheng Xingye sat down on the floor of the practice room and sighed.
Beside him, Choi Jun-hee straightened up and nodded in agreement, "It's indeed cool."
The cool breeze blew away the members' fatigue caused by practicing day and night, allowing them to temporarily forget the pressure hanging over their heads and their mood began to calm down.
The members sat on the floor and started talking and laughing for the first time in a long time. Sheng Yanyu picked up his phone, turned off the recording, then looked up at the moonlit night sky outside the window and couldn't help but smile.
I really hope such peaceful days can continue forever.
However, all this is only temporary.
After all, starting from the second round of performances, the program team will start the elimination system.
If you don't move forward, you will move backward. If they don't put in 200% effort and fighting spirit to face the upcoming tough battles, they may not be able to make it to the end in the future.
In order to achieve the ultimate goal, they will definitely try their best to present the best stage!
