114 Overseas Trend
When the wet Celes returned to the preparation room, he was immediately surrounded. Even the opposing team sent someone to inquire. Yu Le quietly poked his head out of the door and said, "Hey? Can anyone decipher this for me?"
Song Lianqing openly showed the pattern on her arm to the Thai girl. The whole group seemed very interested. The leader of SIRIN pointed at the pattern and asked her in Chinese, "What is this?"
"Actually, it's a kind of invisible ink that can be used for body painting." This thing is very common and not difficult to understand, but the difficult part is how to translate it. Song Lianqing scratched his head and decided to ask for help from the professional translator sister of the program crew.
"The water mist sprayed in the middle is mixed with a color-developing agent, so it appears." The principle is simple, but no one has ever done this before. Yuan Xiao thought that their song lacked a highlight that could ignite emotions, so he found inspiration from a spy movie and designed unique paintings for each of them.
"I hope that each of them doesn't look like a human at that moment." Yuan Xiao crossed his arms and made his request to the makeup designer. He wanted to bring surprises to the stage instead of scares, so of course everything had to be prepared in advance.
Celes tried makeup six times, and finally decided on the makeup texture for each person at the last time. The makeup artist first pasted tattoo stickers with hollowed-out patterns on everyone's body, then applied invisible pigment and then sprayed setting spray. However, pigment is the core of the show, not everything. In order to complete the entire stage to the best, the fixed points of the water mist spraying machine and the positioning and movements of the five people of Celes at that moment were repeatedly rehearsed. They were the first group to arrive at the venue and check into the hotel, and also the group with the most rehearsals.
Before officially performing on stage, Yuan Xiao applied for a patent for Celes' "The Law of Blooming" stage.
The final effect was quite good. As expected, it blew everyone away the moment it appeared. The hot discussion words related to "The Law of Bloom" captured by the machine on the list shot up from the bottom of the list to the top. Every time it was refreshed, there were new changes until it completely conquered the list and dominated the list.
"Ahhhhhhhhh my girl is going crazy tonight. A true goddess of beauty has descended upon the domestic entertainment industry. She's going to keep beating the whole world in seconds, Xiaosai."
"If I die one day, please carve the QR code of the GIF of the famous scene from tonight's "Blooming" on my tombstone. Thank you."
"Shocking, I can't think of any other words to describe it except shocking. I, the audience, was born to eat such good food. Please know that the domestic entertainment stage is rolled up."
"Why hasn't anyone cracked Celes's black technology yet? I want to see it on my shopping app and be able to place an order within five minutes, okay?"
You know, it is not easy to get so many praises from such a large base of people. Celes' performance has injected a shot of confidence for fans who have always believed that domestic entertainment groups are no worse than overseas groups, and it has also opened the eyes of overseas groups and overseas fans who have paid attention to "Heart Dance Stage". The most intuitive manifestation is that several companies that originally thought that they could win the favor of a large number of fans by just making a few gestures in the domestic entertainment industry have temporarily changed their schedules. Not only have they sent a makeup team from the headquarters, they have also rejected many unnecessary notices and contacted local practice rooms to allow their own groups to arrange the next stage with peace of mind.
The quality of the entire first episode was very high, and each group showed off their talents, but there is no doubt that Celes was the most outstanding one even among a group of powerful groups. It was not just a stage gimmick. The audience who was late to realize it found that in fact the entire stage process, whether it was dance or vocal details, were done very well, which enabled them to keep pushing forward to the climax and completely detonate the emotions.
Although this episode did not have a complete competition among each team, and only gave wins and losses based on 1v1 results, the viewers had a rough ranking of each group participating in this season. After the performances of the last eight groups, the women's team won the first episode. Except for Stary, the other men's teams could not be said to be bad, but compared to the girls, only in the first episode, there was a big difference in the performance style and the overall look and feel of the stage.
Discussions about the strength comparison between Celes, Stary and several other domestic entertainment groups and overseas groups have also become a trend. Regardless of cultural background, music and beauty are always the common pursuit of mankind. Moreover, this is a stage in China, all performed in Chinese. It is almost the first time that a domestic entertainment idol group has sparked such a big discussion.
Different languages express similar meanings. Some are admiration, some are disbelief, some are curiosity and inquiries, and there are also fans who go over the wall and use translators to patiently answer questions. In short, it is a very good start.
This is of course because every one of the crazy performances in the show is very solid, and there is no lack of Yuan Xiao’s support behind them.
The marketing routines are also universal. The gradually emerging Internet trends and short video operational thinking overseas are similar to those in China, but different. There are also professional companies and studios that are gradually extending their tentacles into these areas.
Yuan Xiao had already invested in two overseas MCNs in the name of Yuan Xin. While the first episode of "Heart Dancing Stage" was being broadcast online, he had already started to upload segments of the program to overseas social media, and thoughtfully added foreign subtitles to ensure that people from all countries could enjoy the beautiful stage without obstacles.
Facts have proved that what Yuan Xiao thought was right. This kind of competition among several countries can completely play the same role as overseas professional music programs, and achieve the effect of luring fans who click in to watch because of any familiar face to come in and "kill".
Yuan Xiao's answer is called saving the country in a roundabout way.
The accounts registered by Stary and Celes on overseas social platforms gradually began to accumulate fans, and each member's personal account also began to operate simultaneously. The pre-prepared materials were slowly exposed and managed bit by bit according to the rhythm. Fans, not to be outdone, began to climb over the wall to contact overseas fans and set up fan groups to move and translate materials to facilitate the recruitment of new overseas fans.
As an agent and producer, Yuan Xiao never pins all his hopes on the luck of becoming famous overnight. Operational work is a long process. All the materials and all the push do not appear out of thin air overnight. Maybe they can reach the top overnight one day, and what Yuan Xiao has to do is to send each of their groups closer and closer to the top, so that the steps to the top can be taken with less effort.
For Celes, the question is how to follow up on the excellent performance of the first issue of "The Law of Bloom".
Although they have prepared several song lists for the competition in advance, after performing the best song as the opening song of the entire season, they are asked to return to the normal performance mode. Although they will still try their best, they always feel that something is missing.
The staff sister of the program team is also an old acquaintance. She had previously collaborated with them on the recording of materials and one of the MVs for the first album. This was the third time she came to urge Celes to report the song list for the next episode, and reminded them that they must make a decision before tonight at the latest.
Song Lianqing wanted to rub his hair into a bird's nest, as if the bird of inspiration would come to visit. Mo Shuangzhu held his head with both hands, and after struggling for a day, he decided to let go of himself and everyone else: "Or we can just perform "Romantic Crazy" as planned."
In fact, this song is also very nice. According to their original plan, this atmospheric R&B song was just right to show the audience different sides of Celes. However, after the entire first show of "The Law of Blooming", the design of "Romantic Crazy" inevitably seemed a little weak.
Unwilling to give up, the five members of Celes sat together in the hotel room. Their only thought was unwillingness. They were the newest group in this show. Even Mir debuted several months earlier than them. Putting on a good show was certainly something to be happy about, but after the wave of excitement passed, they could not suppress the urge to prove themselves, to prove that such a good show was not a flash in the pan but a reflection of their real strength.
The key is the second episode. Now the whole network, and even the whole world, is discussing their new style, new technology and new stage. Even if the second episode is not so outstanding, it will appear to be overshadowed.
Xin Mengting wanted to struggle a little more: "Would it be better if we also made a remix version of "Crazy Romance"?"
"We don't have many songs to begin with, and the effect of the same tricks will be greatly reduced the second time." Leng Ci shook his head. Forcing it would have the opposite effect. It would be better to perform according to the original version.
"or……"
Mo Shuangzhu had a vague idea that lingered in her mind for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable way to describe it. Xia Wentao turned her head and stared at her thoughtful eyes for a while, surprised: "Do you want to do a stage adaptation first?"
She groaned for a moment and said, "That's actually a method. At least this way we can consider a much wider range of songs. Besides, the quality of the songs we prepared is not inferior to the songs in the album."
The ability of several people to read each other's minds was becoming more and more proficient. Mo Shuangzhu nodded and added: "The other one was also me... you could say it was selfish."
She pulled a laptop from the table and opened it, calling up the demo project file while saying, "Today, our assistant sister and Xiaoxiao sister gave us feedback that we are now receiving a lot of attention overseas. Although I am quite confident about our performance and our program, no one can predict where the attention will go. For example, senior brother Stary and his team had such good results last year, but they also had bottlenecks. I was thinking, should we do what we have always wanted to do before the attention is over?"
Popularity, topicality and discussion are important, but there are more important things.
"After we rehearsed "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" last time, they said there were a few places that needed to be adjusted. I've already done it, so it's a good time to listen to it." Mo Shuangzhu clicked to play. The song adapted from this most classic long narrative poem had already been sung by a famous ancient style singer and became a minor hit on the Internet a few years ago. At that time, many people lamented why no one had released such a song when they needed to memorize poems in school. Otherwise, it would have been much easier to memorize by following the melody.
After Celes decided to perform a traditional Chinese style song, Mo Shuangzhu and Xia Wentao selected this song from a large number of song libraries. It was an adaptation and a new style and arrangement that was completely different from the first episode. It borrowed the catchy classic melody of the original song and made a more girl group style adaptation. It also had the lyrics of the greatest love narrative poem of all time. The recorded practice room video successfully passed Yuan Xiao's acceptance.
This is the traditional Chinese style that Mo Shuangzhu and Xia Wentao have always wanted to create, and this happens to be a good opportunity. Regardless of whether overseas countries can accept this way of expression, they have to try it to know.
"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is a very long poem. The original song takes seven minutes to complete. If Celes were to perform it, he would have to use the most popular excerpts. During the previous rehearsal, he found that the dance break in the middle was not long enough. This version is the one that Mo Shuangzhu remixed with the interlude.
"I think it's ok." Xin Mengting swayed along with the new interlude, "Six days, if we persevere a little, we should be able to finish the choreography if we're a little more urgent."
"Then it's decided. Don't hesitate." Song Lianqing grabbed the phone from the bed. "I'll send a message to the PD now."
"The second issue, Celes, 'Song of Everlasting Regret'!"
