Chapter 97 The First Stage Competition (2)
Delivering inspiring energy to the audience and fans through the stage is what a qualified idol or a stage performer should do.
Standing on the stage, SEXYcode was full of energy, and brought the audience a double feast of hearing and vision with their singing and smiles.
This kind of positive energy is often the most touching thing.
As the ending shot zooms in, beads of sweat glisten on the faces of the five performers on stage, their eyes bright and gleaming brightly under the spotlight.
"Thank you! ありがとうございます!"
At the end of the song, the five members bowed to the camera and the audience one by one. The fans who came to the scene immediately raised their cheering sticks and screamed wildly.
The electric purple color representing the SEXY code swayed and swayed through the audience like a deep-sea fish, creating a dreamy and beautiful scene. Faintly, one could even hear fans shouting their support in Japanese.
It was obviously not a concert, but the atmosphere on the scene was comparable to that of a concert.
“…Oh my god, this is too exciting!”
The other group members who were watching the live performance on the big screen in the backstage lounge were all amazed.
Zheng Xingye rubbed his arms and said, "I have goose bumps all over my body."
Zhong Gaoyi nodded in agreement and sighed, "The first one to play is so awesome, how can we compete with him later?"
SEXYcode, who was arranged to perform at the opening, immediately pushed the atmosphere to a climax, which also brought considerable pressure to the subsequent groups.
After all, the first stage can achieve such a level of completion, and the audience's expectations have been raised. If the subsequent performances fail to meet expectations, it will inevitably create a contrast.
Sheng Yanyu raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "Don't give up on yourselves. We're not bad either. All the hard work you've put in the practice room for so many days wasn't in vain."
"Yes, they have their advantages. We also have our characteristics."
Yi Chuheng smiled slightly, "Don't forget, we have prepared a secret weapon for this performance."
Upon hearing this, the members who were originally nervous immediately relaxed.
Instead, a blazing fighting spirit began to burn in everyone's eyes.
Not only Originore, but the other four groups were also inspired to win by SEXYcode's performance.
They must then perform as well as possible.
Each idol group in the audience was eager to give their best performance, while the audience was still immersed in the afterglow of the performance.
For SEXYcode fans, it is a happy thing to allow more passers-by who don’t know them to see their performances and understand their excellence.
They don’t care about the appearance of their idols as the outside world thinks, but it’s because the idols they like happen to have SEXY codes.
It was SEXYcode who touched their hearts with their performance and made them break their own principles for them.
There is absolutely no reason to like someone, and the same goes for being a fan of an idol.
Perhaps the idol who seems useless to A may appear shining in the eyes of B.
What's more, SEXYcode itself is not a useless idol. They are like a pearl covered in dust, and once the dust is brushed away, its beauty will be revealed.
Although not as dazzling as diamonds, it has its own unique warmth and delicacy, just like a cup of tea, which tastes bitter at first but actually has an endless aftertaste.
[SEXYcode is the best!]
[Let’s move towards the next tenth anniversary together!]
[Sexy uncle, go ahead! ! ! ]
After the SEXYcode performance ended, the lights on the stage dimmed. The next person to take the stage, a man from Kansai, was waiting at the side of the stage with a serious expression.
When the screen cut to them, they immediately put away their serious expressions and smiled cheerfully at the camera.
Idols must always smile at their fans. This sentence has almost been engraved in the lungs of idols in Japan from smoking.
Unlike SEXYcode, a singing and dancing group that is positioned as an artist in their own country, Kansai Boys are serious idols.
When it comes to singing and dancing skills, they are not better than SEXYcode, but when it comes to making the audience smile and making fans happy, they are definitely not inferior to anyone.
Captain Takahashi Ang stretched out his hand, and then the remaining six people covered it with their hands one by one.
"いくぞ! (Come on!)"
“Oh!”
After a burst of encouraging shouts, the seven members went on stage full of fighting spirit.
In fact, they are not unfamiliar with the predecessors of SEXYcode, but this is the first time that they have all stood on the same stage to compete.
After all, in Country J, there is no such opportunity for them to have a head-on confrontation.
Now I have this situation, which is what I have been longing for.
It is true that SEXYcode has strong singing and dancing skills, but they will not lose on the stage as Kansai men.
In the live broadcast room, the long-awaited fans of the Kansai men typed the names of each member in their representative colors on the barrage.
The captain Takahashi Takashi's color is fiery red, the lead singer Yokohama Hiroshi's color is orange, and the lead dancer Ichinose Hikaru's color is lemon yellow.
Center Kuroki Yo's mint green, Ace Matsui Rintaro's lavender purple, the pool surface person in charge of the sea blue of Shimizu Omoya, and the cute old and young Oda Katsuta's peach pink.
For a moment, the barrage was filled with all kinds of colorful texts.
[Oh my god, I'm starting to get nervous.]
[Me too, why did our little Guanxi have to appear after the sexy old man?]
[Takahashi Takashi, Yokohama Hiroshi, Ichinose Hikaru, Kuroki Yō, Matsui Rintaro, Shimizu Haboma, Oda Katsuta! The Kansai man Ikuzo!]
On the stage, Zeng Yu began to announce: "The next guests are also from Country J. They are the Kansai boys who won the first place for the most popular male idol group in Country J last year!"
"Let's invite them on stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.
Different from the tough guy style of the previous group, the clothing of Kansai men has obvious characteristics of J.N.I.P. idols.
A large colorful fur collar, a buttocks curtain that matches the color of the clothes, and a mess of tassels.
Even with the face to support it, the clothes still look a bit horrible.
[Pedestrians, can you tell me? Where on earth did their stylist find all those ugly clothes?]
[Hahahaha, our J-family's performance costumes are basically like this.]
[Yes, this has become a feature (side-eye smile)]
[I also thought it was ugly when I first got into it, but I got used to it after looking at it for a while.]
[This outfit is exactly like the one in the Japanese idol anime. I finally understand where those cartoonists got their inspiration from...]
Different from the strong aura of SEXYcode that is overflowing with hormones, the atmosphere of Kansai Boys becomes full of energy as soon as they appear on the stage.
Perhaps it was their overly conspicuous outfits, or perhaps it was the bright smiles they each wore on stage. As the tunes rich in the folk customs of J-nation sounded, the atmosphere at the scene instantly transformed into a joyful summer festival!
"Hey! Put your hands up!"
Even though they had never heard the song before, the audience, led by the members, raised their hands and waved their arms to the melody.
If SEXYcode's stage performance shows the charm of mature men, then what Kansai men possess is extreme affinity without any age restrictions.
This was a performance that made all the audience smile from the bottom of their hearts. They made the audience immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the stage.
Originore, who was called by the program staff to wait in the backstage, looked at the stage not far away and felt a strong shock in his heart.
This kind of shock can only be felt by the audience who are there in person. Watching it through the screen is a completely different experience.
The audience's emotions were pushed to a climax layer by layer, as if they were participating in a festival celebration.
In such an atmosphere, high-pitched singing and sword-fighting skills are no longer important.
The audience was completely captivated by the Kansai man on the stage. They had forgotten that they were judges who needed to vote, and simply immersed themselves in the joyful atmosphere brought by the stage in front of them.
At the same time, the barrage in the live broadcast room is also frequently refreshed.
[Feeling so good!]
[It's like a concert.]
[Their performance reminded me of the summer festival parade I attended in Japan. It was so lively!]
[If nothing else, this song is pretty good.]
[(Confidently stands with hands on hips) This is the first time a song by a Kansai man has won the weekly or monthly number one on the O Chart, so of course it's good!]
[Takahashi Aa ...
[Both groups from Country J performed very well, and I'm starting to worry about our country's two idol groups.]
[The production team is really stupid. Why would they let two new groups participate in such a stage competition? They should have invited veteran groups that have debuted for many years.]
[How can the production team invite those groups that debuted for many years but have either disbanded or gone solo for many years without reuniting?]
[That's right, even if we could get them, the appearance fee wouldn't be cheap. It's better to hire someone new. Anyway, the show's popularity is already being fueled by groups like Freez.]
[The previous sentences don't quite hit the point. This is a Pineapple show, as is "Youth Project." As a group that debuted from "Youth Project," it's only natural for Mine to participate.]
[Also, FOREVER, Zaoxing Entertainment, and Pineapple have a very close relationship, so it would be unreasonable not to invite them.]
[As for these overseas groups, I heard Pineapple has been expanding into overseas markets over the past two years, so it's not surprising that they were able to invite them over. Pineapple has plenty of money, after all.]
[Who's next on stage?]
[It's Originore.]
[As a fan of the mining team, I no longer expect them to take first place (sigh)]
[Appearance is justice. Just admire the handsome guy's face!]
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room did not think that Originore, a new group that debuted less than a month ago, could compete with the two veteran groups that had performed previously.
After all, their age and experience are there. How can they win?
For a moment, Cai Shumin and Luo Xinyi, who were watching the live performance, couldn't help but hold their breath and began to worry about Originore.
However, unlike what the audience imagined, Originore had a very good mentality.
At this moment, they are warming up backstage.
Mo Bei was remarkably calm. He had faced even tougher challenges before. He and his teammates had pulled through, and now, he and his new teammates were fully prepared. There was no reason to be nervous.
Everything depends on human effort. Just try your best and leave no regrets.
"bring it on."
Sheng Yanyu took the initiative to extend his hand, with a reassuring calmness between his brows.
Cui Junxi's face was calm, and Zhong Gaoyi and Zheng Xingye, who were originally a little anxious, also relaxed their brows.
Lei Lie took a deep breath and looked serious, but Tao Xiaotie remained as calm as ever.
There was no trace of tension on Xu Tingchuan and Yi Chuheng's faces.
As for Bai Li, he still has that super confident attitude of "Whether you like it or not, I just like myself".
Mo Bei calmly placed his hand on it. Then the ten people raised their hands one after another.
"come on!"
When you are sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will move backward.
The stage battle is at their doorstep. They must bravely advance and meet it head-on.
There was a burning light in everyone's eyes, which was a desire for the stage.
The atmosphere at the scene was rising steadily. Since the beginning of the show, the two consecutive stages had brought unexpected surprises to the audience. Now the audience's appetite had been whetted. They were eager to see the next performance.
"Originore! Originore!"
"Jiang Mo Nan ahhhhhh!"
"Sheng Yanyu! Sheng Yanyu!"
Listening to the excited cheers from the audience, Zeng Yu smiled and said, "The next group to perform is my old friends. Let's welcome Originore!"
The fans who had been waiting for a long time finally got their wish. They did not hesitate to express their enthusiasm and began to call out their names.
"Ahhhh Originore!"
"Go, Xiaotie! Mommy loves you!"
"Lei Lie! The well-deserved husband king!"
There were all kinds of shouting at the scene. There were only a few thousand people, but they shouted like a powerful army.
As the new idol group that debuted this year and is also the most popular, Originore has demonstrated their immense popularity in China with their strength.
Even the four groups of idols from Country K and Country J who didn't know them couldn't help but look at them sideways.
They will not underestimate any opponent.
There are certainly reasons why a group can become so popular in its home market.
You have to know that talent shows are countless, and China, like Country K, has long passed the period of being able to reap the benefits of talent shows. To be able to gain such high popularity during such a weak market period means that they really have something.
When Originore walked onto the stage, the screams from the audience almost blew the roof off.
Led by team leader Sheng Yanyu, the members all said their group name in unison:
"Hello everyone, we are Originore!"
When the big screen scanned the faces of each member one by one, the fans were so excited that they almost fainted.
[Oh my god, I know this group is full of handsome guys, but this is too handsome!]
[They look so calm. They don't look like rookies at all.]
[It’s worth mentioning that, except for the leader and Xiaotie, all of us were amateurs before our debut.]
[I know Sheng Yanyu was once a trainee on Star Creation. Could Tao Xiaotie also be a trainee?]
[No, our Xiaotie is a food blogger (doge)]
[(Laughing sideways) Is he one of those food bloggers with only single-digit followers?]
I still don't understand why this kid's live stream stats were so bad. He has such a cute face.
[Maybe it's because the kids don't like to talk. Being a streamer requires the ability to chat.]
[Hahahahahaha grab the bamboo shoots...]
[Tao Xiaotie: You bunch of haters (angry)]
Just as fans in the live broadcast room were busy making memes, the lights on the stage dimmed.
Then, a bright white beam lit up. A familiar prelude rang out, and like fireworks, ten figures on the stage spread outward in a circular pattern.
As the song's title suggests, the members smiled with smiles as refreshing as lemonade, creating a strong summer vibe.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
For a moment, the DNA of all Originore fans online and offline was instantly activated.
[Woohoo! So cool!]
[There are still handsome guys next to handsome guys. This stage is good for my eyes!]
[Who would have thought that Bai Li, who was terrible at both singing and dancing, would improve so quickly? It's so gratifying.]
[Jiang Mo Nan is indeed the center of the show. Even if the whole mine is full of handsome guys, he is always the first one I see on stage.]
Fans who came to the scene raised their support items and sang along loudly.
"I want to drink some lemonade!"
The other audience members who couldn't sing along raised their phones and started taking pictures of the stage.
On the stage, the members gave their all and exuded their personal charm without reservation.
After singing the main part of the song, Yi Chuheng moved aside to reveal Bai Li behind him.
He just smiled at the audience and snapped his fingers. Then a huge lemon-shaped balloon suddenly appeared from behind the stage.
Then, there was a soft "bang!" sound, and countless lemon-yellow ribbons began to scatter on the stage.
For a moment, the stage effects were at full blast and the audience was filled with screams.
At the same time, fans were surprised to find that the familiar melody began to undergo some changes.
They re-arranged the song!
No! Not only the music, but also the choreography has been redesigned!
On the stage, the members suddenly gathered together and started the dancebreak of the chorus.
Compared with the original version, the new music and choreography are more playful and lively.
If the original song is just an ordinary glass of lemonade, then the adapted version is a glass of iced kumquat lemon tea with richer layers!
Originore's performance also carries a youthful, refreshing, natural quality. It's like taking a sip of a cool drink on a scorching summer day, refreshing and soothing.
I thought that the newcomers from the talent show would definitely not be as good as those professionally trained foreign entertainment idols, but the facts prove that they are equally excellent!
Suddenly, the cheers at the scene became louder.
With the positive feedback from the audience, the members' dance moves became more and more exciting.
Under the spotlight on the stage, each of their eyes looked brighter than the stars in the sky.
Fans know that it is the light of their love for the stage.
