113 God-level stage
The four groups of women's teams and the four groups of men's teams, after all the members arrived, the two preparation rooms were packed. For a while, the live broadcast screen was filled with languages from all over the world, as if they had accidentally entered a Duolingo learning site.
Chinese, Korean, Thai mixed with English, everyone jumped back and forth between the languages, and although they stumbled a bit, they were able to have a pretty good conversation.
After all the participating teams of the second season arrived, the staff on site did not bother to leave time for the fans in front of the screen to get excited, and went straight to the next link. The big screen broadcast the competition system of this season of "Codename: Heart Dancing Stage" in several languages. It is very simple, that is, the men's team and the women's team will have a 1v1 battle in each round. The rule that the live audience and the online audience vote together to decide the victory or defeat is still retained. The winner of each game can get one point for his or her team, and the loser will not get any points.
After the final total score is calculated, the winning team will get two spots in the final concert, the losing team can only get one spot, and if there is a tie, both sides can only get one spot.
Such rewards are certainly not very tempting. Even if it is for the sake of the show, the production team will not let one team win or lose all the time. But even if there is no such nominal reward, the desire to win of each group as idols will not allow them to fail on stage.
Winning the hearts of the audience is the highest principle.
Both sides expressed that they fully understood the rules of the competition, and the next step was to deploy their troops.
At this time, Celes must of course perform "The Rules of Bloom" first.
The staff pushed up the playlists prepared by the four groups. As expected, each group brought out their most popular hits at the moment. To be honest, the four songs by the female group were not well-known, but at least they had been sung in the streets and alleys, so it didn't matter where they were ranked.
At once, the members of several groups all looked at Celes, the host. Qin Kaiyue switched his language system, turned around and patted Mo Shuangzhu on the shoulder:
"What do you mean?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xia Wentao looked at the heated discussion over there, which seemed to be able to come up with a men's team. She didn't think that everyone's current understanding of the various groups could really rank them in 12345, so she raised her hand and suggested, "How about we draw lots?"
What a good idea! With quick communication among several main translators, the women's team quickly reached a consensus. Leng Ci asked the staff nearby for paper and pen and wrote down one, two, three, four on the piece of paper.
"We are the last one." Qin Kaiyue took the slip of paper with the number four written on it, showed it to the people around him, and started looking: "Who is the first one?"
"here."
Leng Ci showed the note in his hand: "It just so happens that our song is very suitable for the opening."
The four Celes stood up collectively, and the blankets they were wrapped in fell off, revealing their neatly tailored stage costumes. Just then, the big screen showed that the opposing men's team had also decided on the first group to compete on stage. It was the Japanese entertainment boy group Re:V. They debuted for five years and are very strong. They are a group that focuses more on dance skills, and have also starred in well-known Japanese dramas.
There were three remaining men's teams, including Stary, two domestic entertainment boy groups and a talent show debut group with members from several countries. Coincidentally, each group had a former trainee from Yuanxin, who were all Xiaosai's seniors, so they just happened to meet this one who knew almost nothing about her.
Cheers in various languages echoed in the preparation room. Leng Ci waved her hand to show that she had received all the encouragement. The encouragement from such a large group of beautiful girls of various styles was really empowering. She had been in a very happy state from the beginning to now. This show was somewhat too enjoyable.
She blew him a kiss in a chic manner, "Come on! Wait for us to come back with a good start!"
They walked out of the preparation room, leaving Qin Kaiyue, with her hair disheveled in the wind, thinking about how to translate the three words "a good start" to everyone in a reasonable way.
Celes has performed "The Law of Bloom" too many times during this period, so choosing this song as the opening of the entire season is a safe choice. For many groups present, it is the first time to participate in a live variety show, but almost every group has rich offline experience. Choosing the most familiar song to open the show is to give themselves and the audience a transition period of acceptance, but -
The original song without any adaptation would be too boring.
Since they lost in the rock-paper-scissors game, the men's team performed first. When Re:V was the first to compete, Celes was preparing at the B stage at the same time. No matter how many times they saw it during rehearsals, this magical A and B side stage still shocked all the guest teams.
This is the world's first double-sided stage.
Celes is a man of great skill and courage. In the first game, all players went on stage with microphones in their hands. From Leng Ci to Song Lianqing, they checked their microphones one by one to make sure that there was no problem with the sound reception of each microphone.
"123123, teacher, please turn up the volume of my microphone and Qingqing's vocals a little bit, thank you." Leng Ci raised his hand to indicate the modification. Most of the adjustments had been completed in the rehearsals the day before yesterday and yesterday. It was only last night when he went back to watch the rehearsal video recorded by the assistant sister that he found that the vocals of the two of them did not match up during the processing of the middle section. So today he adjusted it up by two decibels.
The five people's microphones and headphone monitors as well as the band's equipment were all debugged, and the stage equipment was all fixed within a few minutes. The director's announcement came from the headphone monitors: "Three minutes left."
From this side, one could also hear the wild music behind. The clamor of the thousand-person venue still suppressed the sound from this side through the heavy singing material, and the online audience could only hear the sound of the broadcast. Xia Wentao opened the earphones a little bit and heard Re:V's very sincere Chinese version of their masterpiece.
Although his Chinese was still a little awkward, his pronunciation was correct and it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into practicing before coming here.
Most Japanese entertainment groups are very keen on different performances. For example, a band specializes in performing as a band, and a dance group specializes in dancing. The singles they release will contain long sections of instrumental music for dancing. Xia Wentao was listening behind the scenes, and she really wanted to see what kind of choreography could elicit waves of cheers from the audience in front.
Will he win? Will he win?
Whether it’s a boy group competing with a girl group, or a domestic entertainment group competing with an overseas group, it’s the first time for any of them. Even if Celes is very confident about his performance, he still has to consider the audience’s taste.
Whether the locally produced stage performance is more in line with the audience's taste, or the new overseas style can give the audience more surprises, no one can tell until the performance is actually over.
"One minute."
Xin Mengting took one last look at the members, raised her hand to straighten Xia Wentao's collar, then leaned back. The stage fell into darkness, and then the whole thing slowly moved.
Those in the front audience who were closer could see the movement of the stage in the darkness. There was a small commotion before Celes appeared. Five blurry shadows were gradually pushed to the front of the stage in the darkness. The fans who already knew the number of people in each group gradually became excited. The host introduced Celes' appearance on the side stage. Amid the instantaneous outbreak of screams, the lights in the venue turned on. The extremely expensive sound array once again produced a sound field effect that matched every penny Yuan Xiao spent. The unparalleled live performance was given to an unstoppable girl group.
“Not declaring, not refuting, just existing is magnificent enough.”
The wrist-kissing dance move in Celes' "Law of Bloom" has become their signature move. It is not only popular in short videos, but everyone from uncles and aunts who dance in the square to children learning to dance in kindergarten can learn the wrist-kissing wave. However, only the five of them can perform this move best.
“Not making noise, not arguing, just existing is hospitality enough.”
All the guests in the backstage preparation room fell completely silent, with their eyes fixed on the screen. They might not fully understand the meaning of every word of the lyrics, but their peers could all see the musicality and dancing skills. Even overseas, this song can definitely be regarded as a top-notch single in terms of quality in all aspects.
Nowadays, idols and singers from all over the world always have to obey the impact of the short, flat and fast information flow on the market. "The Law of Bloom" is undoubtedly a song that balances the viral brainwashing melody loop and musicality and audibility very well. To be honest, if we didn't know that the producer of this song must be from Yuanxin, many groups would have wanted to make an appointment for a song on the spot.
"With tens of millions of frequencies of growth, the dormant bamboo shoots are gently pushing the frozen soil, using dew to translate all the spring and autumn seasons. I heard her story, and she will never surrender."
This part was supposed to be followed by Leng Ci and Song Lianqing's rap. The large number of fans who came to support the show were even ready to cheer, so that overseas groups could also see the super-united and enthusiastic support of our domestic entertainment industry. However, when the interlude music changed, many of the cheers that were not shouted out in time were stuck in their throats.
Little Angel:?
The five people stood in a straight line, their aura filling the empty stage. The girls took a step forward at the same time on the distorted drum beat, which seamlessly connected to the C section of another song in the album, "Declaration When Awakening from a Dream".
In coordination with the changing formations and dance moves, the stage was sprayed with dense mist. Fans watching the live broadcast in front of the screen and the audience at the scene simultaneously discovered that at this moment, dark green lines gradually grew and spread on the five people's bodies, climbing up their arms, necks, and cheeks along the girls' exposed skin, like an infinitely growing forest. They raised their fingers to the sky and put the microphone to their lips, their eyes burning with excitement like wildfire. The drummer knocked the cymbals to the sky:
“We tore the veil! No more in silent dread!”
No one expected that this song would appear here in such a distorted way. The sound of the electric bass cut through the night sky. The already explosive song was further raised in pitch. Xia Wentao's high-pitched voice brought the emotions of the entire Celes to the highest point. Not only were the fans in front of the stage screaming, but the audience behind the screen filled the live broadcast room with barrages of comments, and other idols in the preparation room couldn't help but stand up.
“Scars will shatter the dollhouse walls in this sleeping city's halls. Unfold a blade not to bleed.”
Leng Ci held the microphone tightly, bent over and sang a long song, pouring the emotional concentration of the lyrics to the extreme. Mo Shuangzhu's cold harmony hovered above the stage. Each of them sang with all her strength. Large patches of fine dark green lines bloomed on each of them, rendering the originally pure white and simple stage clothes with the most vivid color. The whole stage was lit up with a dazzling yellow light, rising from behind them, like the sunrise of a new day in the jungle. The stage equipment that was originally ordinary and looked like a ruin seemed to be given a brand new look at this moment because of the girls' vigorous vitality.
This scene is not actually that perfect and delicate. The lines on the face cannot withstand close scrutiny, and Celes, who is singing loudly, no longer has the perfect expression management of an idol. But at this moment, in this scene on the stage, everything is just right. Even if it can be replicated in the future, the expressiveness will never be the same.
Famous scene.
Qin Kaiyue shook her head and sighed, it was amazing, she didn't know whether it was their own idea or the team's suggestion, the sudden appearance of the growing tattoo lines was really a genius idea. These idols usually wear a lot of stage makeup, and she could vaguely guess that this magical change was probably related to the water mist sprayed on the stage just now, but the person who could think of using this reaction for stage highlights was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.
She could already foresee how excited their fans would be. This scene was almost unlike anything that could happen in reality. The entire Celes group was like elves in the forest at that moment, mysterious and beautiful, with a love for life and peace, and the courage to defend everything.
On the matte side curtain closest to the stage, Yuan Xiao watched as a mist mixed with a special harmless agent was evenly sprayed. After creating a god-level stage scene that people talked about for a long time in the first episode of the second season, he retired with honor.
