Chapter 67 Recording Variety Show
Just like his fans were looking forward to the arrival of the new variety show, Mo Bei finally got his ID card issued.
I don’t know how Lian Cheng arranged it, but he actually helped him successfully register as a resident despite being an illegal resident.
After many years, Mo Bei got this small card again, and he felt excited and a little emotional.
Touching the name on the ID, which was completely different from the past, he suddenly asked the system—
"Will I continue to live as 'Jiang Mo Nan'? Even if I become human again?"
[This is the normal situation.]
[After all, Mo Bei is already dead. Considering the feelings of your former fans, it's not a good idea to pretend to be dead.]
[Not to mention that due to the restrictions of the system's resurrection regulations, you can't explain to others why you were resurrected.]
After hearing the system's answer, Mo Bei remained silent.
He understands.
He actually understood it all along.
Understanding is one thing, but emotionally accepting it is another.
Accepting a new identity means completely abandoning the past.
But can he really do it?
…
The recording location of "The Voice of China" is also at Xingyue Film and Television Park.
Some fans who had known the news for a long time stood at the entrance of the park early in the morning, holding cheering banners and waiting eagerly.
This is the first time that Originore has participated in a variety show since their debut as a group, and it is also the first time that they have appeared in front of the public as a group. Many fans have been waiting for this day until the flowers have wilted.
Returning to this place after several days, not only the members' moods have changed, but also the fans'.
Not long ago, these boys were just rough edges in the idol industry, but now they've transformed into rising stars. The days of frantically voting for their idols seem like just yesterday.
However, the fans did not have much time to reminisce about the past. As they watched the white business car slowly approaching from a distance, excited screams broke out at the scene.
Unfortunately, the car did not stop at the gate but drove directly into the park.
The members today are no longer the amateurs they were when they first participated in the competition. With so many fans coming to the door, they will definitely cause a commotion once they get off the bus, which may even affect the traffic in the park.
Although no outsiders are allowed into the park, there is no guarantee that some daring illegitimate children will sneak in during the chaos.
This is also for safety reasons on the company's side.
After Originore arrived at the studio building of "The Voice of China" production team, he was taken directly to the backstage by the staff for makeup.
Today the whole group's attire is very uniform, and everyone is wearing the white stand-up collar uniform from "Youth Project".
Because the official debut single has not been released yet and there is no time to prepare a new program, the members chose to perform the program theme song this time.
Unlike concerts and performances, variety shows don't give guests much time for on-site rehearsals. To ensure the performance is effective, the production team will provide guests with a corresponding schedule in advance and arrange for the production team staff to review the schedule with the guests.
As a guest performer, Originore's role in the show was not significant, with only a few minutes of interview and performance time.
Although Originore debuted from this year's most popular talent show and has a considerable number of fans and an upward trend, it has long been a well-known fact that show fans are ruthless.
Many talent show groups are most popular only before and immediately after their debut, and then they disappear with the passage of time.
Therefore, even though Pineapple headquarters offered this newly formed boy group resources to appear on the show, the production team didn't place much importance on Originore. After checking the script, the on-site staff let the members wait backstage to practice on their own.
After all, "The Voice of China" is ultimately a program for professional singers. Even though it has invited some domestic and foreign idol groups to build momentum in recent years to attract traffic, the show's audience still wants to see talented singers singing and dancing, rather than idols singing and dancing on stage.
Although I'm not optimistic about the future of these boys, the production team did a good job in appearance. Both the production staff and the host were polite to the members.
But as a former top artist, Mo Bei was still able to detect subtle differences in their polite but slightly distant attitudes.
But times have changed. The entertainment industry has always been a place where the powerful are flattered and the weak are bullied. Only those with a strong enough position can be treated differently. And Originore still has a long way to go.
Fortunately, the newly minted members didn't notice these subtle details. Since this was his first time recording another program, Zheng Xingye looked around curiously.
Unlike "Youth Project," the studio in front of us had a large auditorium. Because this was a purely vocal music variety show, the stage wasn't very large. Ten members of Originore could barely dance on stage.
As the team leader, Sheng Yanyu naturally noticed this and immediately called the members together and told them to adjust the spacing when dancing, and everyone should move as close to the middle as possible.
In addition to the host, there are a total of five singers competing today. Coincidentally, one of them is Lu Ye, the vocal mentor of "Youth Project".
"Brother Lu!" "Teacher Lu!"
Seeing the familiar figure, the members immediately greeted the opposite side excitedly.
Seeing this, Lu Ye stopped talking to the people around him and walked over with a smile, "Long time no see, how have you been recently?"
"It's good." "Not bad!"
With the presence of old acquaintances, the members who were in an unfamiliar environment were no longer as nervous as before.
The two sides chatted for a while, and then Lu was called backstage by the on-site staff to change clothes.
After a while, the audience entered the venue and the recording of the program officially began.
Different from general entertainment variety shows, "The Voice of China" does not have any game segments and mainly focuses on showing the singers' live performances.
Because it is a competitive music variety show, the program team pursues the most realistic performance of the singers. Therefore, the singers participating in the program sing live in one take, and there is no situation where they have to sing a second time if their performance is not good.
Live performances are the ultimate test of a singer's vocal prowess. If a performance isn't good, the production team won't edit it, opting instead to include it directly in the main film. This applies even to the guest performers.
Looking back at the past guests of this show, there are many who have been mocked by netizens for their poor performances on the show. There are even some who had a good reputation before participating in the show, but unexpectedly failed to perform well after appearing on the show.
It is precisely because of this that netizens jokingly call "The Voice of China" a mirror that exposes the true nature of singers and idols.
Whether he is really talented or just a studio singer packaged by the company, it will be revealed on the show.
Of course, some people fail, while others become famous. Even with the harsh conditions, there are still many talented singers who amaze the audience in the live competition.
Although the company and Wang Qingyun do not have the above expectations for Originore, they also hope that the members can perform well.
"The Voice of China" is a professional singer competition variety show, in which Originore is just a supporting role. It is precisely because of this that the audience does not have too many high demands and expectations of them.
Because the audience's psychological expectations are lowered, once the members give an excellent performance, they can change the audience's minds and leave a positive impression on them.
And a positive impression is the beginning of attracting fans.
As a newly debuted artist, Originore naturally couldn't appear too early. They would only appear on the show after the three groups of singers had finished their performances.
Of course, even if it is a warm-up performance, as a guest performer, the necessary introductions will still be given.
"Before the next Tiansheng challenger takes the stage, let us first welcome this episode's guest performer."
The host smiled and introduced them: "They are Originore, who recently debuted as a group on the popular variety show "Youth Project"!"
Although the official Weibo account announced Originore's participation two days ago, tickets for "The Voice of China" were already released a week ago, so the majority of the audience today were fans of the participating singers. Therefore, after the host's introductions, the applause and cheers were clearly less than those during the competition.
Although Originore fans do not account for a large proportion of the audience, it does not prevent them from appreciating handsome guys.
Originore is the most popular talent show of the year, and the members are all incredibly good-looking. Whether you're looking for cool, stylish, mixed-race, cute, gentle, steady, wild, or gloomy, you'll definitely find your perfect match.
Humans are visual animals.
When a group of handsome men in white uniforms with different heights, long legs and styles walked onto the stage, the audience who had been a little indifferent before immediately sat up straight.
Even if they don’t follow idols, the audience in the audience couldn’t help but be attracted by Originore’s looks.
"Oh my god... they're so handsome."
The average height of the Originore members is over 180cm, with small heads and faces, and excellent proportions. Even in their white uniforms, which make them look even fatter, their broad shoulders and narrow waists still reveal their excellent figures. Even the youngest, Tao Xiaotie, looks perfectly at home among the older brothers.
In the audience, Liao Yufan, who originally only followed talented singers, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he saw the members of Originore appear on stage.
But she quickly regained control of herself.
She was just good-looking, but not necessarily talented. Strong-willed people like her hated flashy, superficial looks the most.
In recent years, I don’t know if it’s because all the good talents have been scooped up by the major idol management companies, but most of the contestants who have been circulated on talent shows are not satisfactory.
Either they are good-looking but terrible talents, or they are ugly men with only talents but sorry looks, or they are the good-for-nothing children of capitalists whose talents and looks are only visible in the eyes of fans.
For a group as good-looking as Originore, she could fully imagine how horrible the performance would be.
Liao Yufan was complaining in his heart, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the stage.
Then, her eyes fixed on a tall white figure on the stage.
Even though all the members of Originore are handsome guys over 180cm tall, the other party still stands out among them.
The boy was tall and thin, and looked to be at least 188cm tall. Looking closely at his face, he was very similar to the young and deceased Mo Xiaotianwang!
He lowered his gaze slightly to gauge the distance between the two stages, his right hand expertly adjusting his headset. Though a recent debutant, his movements were so effortless that he looked like a seasoned idol with years of stage experience.
If he just looked like Mo Tianwang, Liao Yufan might not have paid much attention to him.
What really attracted her was the boy's calm and cool temperament.
Although he didn't know the other person's name, Liao Yufan couldn't help but be attracted to him at this moment.
Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling!
On the stage, the host's announcement continued: "Next, let's welcome them to bring us "Dream Chasing Youth"!"
As soon as the words fell, the lights on the stage dimmed. A moment later, a bright white beam of light came on, followed by a second and a third.
Ten people lined up in a diamond shape, and the boy who had caught Liao Yufan's attention before was standing in the center of the team!
...Is he the C position?
As Liao Yufan was thinking this, he saw the aura of the tall, cool-tempered boy in the C position suddenly undergo a subtle change.
Before she could figure out why, the next second a cheerful and passionate prelude sounded, and the tall and long-legged boys on the stage jumped up, full of youthful energy.
Like the first bloom of spring cherry blossoms, the C-position boy's face suddenly blossomed into a smile as bright as the morning sun. Such a huge contrast directly broke the cold impression that the other party had just given her.
However, the surprises brought by the other party were far more than that.
The moment Liao Yufan heard the person in front of her speak, she was stunned.
At the same time, some of Originore’s fans in the audience were screaming excitedly—
"Ahhhh Jiang Mo Nan!"
"So handsome!"
"Jiang Mo Nan is born to be the center!"
Hearing this, Liao Yufan suddenly realized, "So he is Jiang Mo Nan?"
She seemed to have seen a trending search on Weibo about him debuting as the center. However, she never paid attention to the talent show circle, so even if she saw it, she had no intention of clicking on it.
But now, after seeing the boy in front of her, she suddenly understood why he was so popular.
It's really hard to ignore him on stage.
After singing the first sentence of the introduction part, the boy named Jiang Mo Nan walked backwards to the side. His neat and smooth movements were amazing.
Afterwards, handsome guys with different styles appeared in the center of the stage one after another, making the audience's eyes dazzled.
Surprisingly, Originore's strength wasn't as bad as Liao Yufan had imagined. While the members' dancing skills varied, the strong performers certainly raised the bar for the entire group. And most of the vocals were also top-notch.
Of course, the one who attracted her the most was naturally the boy named Jiang Mo Nan.
As the last line of lyrics fell, the other party stood in the center of the stage.
At that moment, Liao Yufan seemed to meet Jiang Mo'nan's gaze, and her heart suddenly jumped.
If she hadn't always cared about her image when she was outside, she would probably have turned into a screaming chicken and screamed along with the audience around her.
The essence of human beings is true fragrance.
Even though she had always said that she didn't want to be an idol, she felt that she couldn't escape Jiang Mo Nan's clutches this time.
Even if you are not a fan, you can still feel the joy of an excellent performance.
This is the infectious power of the stage.
It is also what idols need most.
Regardless of whether these audiences knew Originore before, they will remember this name after this performance.
They are handsome, perform well on stage, and have strong abilities. Why wouldn’t you be their fan?
At the scene, there were more than one audience member like Liao Yufan who changed his attitude.
After noticing that the audience's response was more enthusiastic than expected, the host looked at the original script thoughtfully.
At the end of the song, the members took a breath and bowed to the audience in unison.
Led by team leader Sheng Yanyu, everyone silently counted to three, and then greeted the audience with full energy -
"Hello everyone, we are Originore!"
This was the first time they had shouted this slogan in public since their formation night, and it also meant that their identity had completely changed.
Today they have become a real idol boy group.
The female audience members blushed and their hearts raced as they watched the rows of tall, long-legged handsome men on stage. Some of the Originore fans, mixed in with the crowds of other singers' fans, were even more excited.
Woohoo, it's so great to be on the show! It's so great to be a co-host!
Although they were only guests for the flight show, the program team still arranged a short period of time for the members to introduce themselves.
After a round of names were announced, the host suddenly asked, "Who is the lead singer here?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Mo Bei.
After the group formed, the company assigned them a specific position. Although a multi-member idol group like theirs typically doesn't have just one vocal line, the title of the group's best main vocalist ultimately went to one person.
Finally, it was team leader Sheng Yanyu who spoke up: "We have several vocalists on our team, but the best singer is still Brother Mo Nan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Chuheng and Cui Junxi, who were also responsible for vocals, nodded in agreement.
The host smiled teasingly and said, "Our 'The Voice of China' is a music variety show. Even if you are a guest performer, you naturally have to sing a few lines to show off your skills."
As if realizing the host's intention, the audience began to boo.
The host pulled Mo Bei to the center of the stage: "Come on, Mo Nan. Show us your skills."
In the past, when other idol groups appeared on this show, the host would also cue them to sing a few lines.
This is an unwritten rule of the show. But for the members who haven't watched "The Voice of China" much, this approach seems a bit sudden.
Mo Bei didn't expect that the host would cue him to sing in the middle of the show, which was not in the script given by the program team.
However, he has always been a person who will seize the opportunity, so he took the microphone generously.
"Then I'll just sing a simple song."
At this point, those viewers who hadn't watched "Youth Project" and didn't know Jiang Mo Nan didn't know how much of a surprise their idol's voice would bring them next.
The boy in front of me, with a face as cold as the moon, opened his thin lips. The moment he opened his mouth, it was as if sunlight was shining on the snow-capped peaks, and the snow melted from the icebergs and flowed quietly into the mountain stream, making a clear sound.
Mo Bei did not choose a particularly complicated show piece, but chose a lyrical song to sing quietly.
But even so, his ethereal and clear voice still makes people forget worldly affairs.
For a moment, not only the host who took the initiative to cue this segment, but even the audience in the audience were stunned, and it took a long time for them to recover from the other party's voice.
There was silence for a moment, and then thunderous applause broke out.
As a newly debuted idol group, the most important thing is to leave an impression on the public.
No matter the members' looks, abilities, personalities or the center position itself, as long as they leave an impression, they will become a hot topic.
There are auditions every year. If an idol group fails to leave a deep impression on the outside world and attract new fans, it is equivalent to constantly consuming its popularity during the competition.
Jiang Monan's small performance is enough to play a positive publicity role.
Of course, this is far from enough.
If you want to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, you still need to rely on your works.
Otherwise, all the hype will eventually be short-lived.
After the short program recording, all members of Originore rushed back to the company to continue preparing for their debut single.
At the same time, the members also started shooting their first commercial advertisement since their debut.
