This time they could no longer keep their stage makeup a secret like they did last time. As soon as all the Celes members updated their stage costumes in horse-faced skirts on the new live broadcast screen, almost the entire network knew what type of songs they would choose this time.
Yuan Xiao pays more attention to the unity of the overall look and music style in the makeup planning of girl groups than boy groups. For example, although "The Law of Blooming" has been performed many times, as long as they can bring their own look, most of them wear neatly tailored pure white stage costumes like those in the MV, and they only work hard on the matching and style. Several other songs also have their own exclusive styles, and it is almost impossible for a certain makeup to be suitable for any song.
This is to magnify the memorable points of each of Celes' stages. If the previous group planning in the domestic entertainment industry was to select people with 80 points and then use 60 points of planning to package them, then the group under Yuanxin is a 120-point group of people plus a 120-point packaging plan, which pays close attention to many details that seem useless but can actually enhance the quality of the entire group.
But this time, Yuan Xiao will definitely not be able to come to the scene to check the performance of her two groups. At this moment, she is on the other side of the ocean, separated by several hours of time difference, and is engaged in the same "thrilling" business cooperation negotiations with her team.
Since Yuan Xiao has set up a domestic and foreign entertainment group, the show will not be limited to Chinese audiences.
She can now handle more necessary tasks with confidence. The teams responsible for the Stary and Celes groups within Yuanxin have already become quite mature, and the program members of "Heart Dance Stage" are also familiar with the work process. The entire idol department can operate normally even without her decision-making, and continuously produce all the materials and emotional value that an entertainment company should provide.
This time, Celes' new stage was conceived by a few of them, and then handed over to the whole team for design. The makeup team matched each person in Celes with a horse-faced skirt and a high ponytail, and tied a fluttering red headband on the braid with a small silver bell at the end. The eye makeup was half-theatrical makeup. Song Lianqing had a touch of red flying from the end of her eyes, and Xia Wentao replaced the flower ornament on her forehead with a red mark. Even if they were singing "Song of Everlasting Regret", they did not want to be Yang Guifei, and only wanted to be Mulan in the new era who did not take off her armor and return to the countryside.
If you don't want to have long-lasting regrets, you cannot entrust your life and property to love. You are your own only master.
Even the stage is designed to be antique, with half of it a dilapidated palace wall and the other half a desolate battlefield. Combined with the lighting, it creates a unique atmosphere that belongs only to a Chinese girl group. Just like the arrangement made by Mo Shuangzhu, the introduction is a lingering flute sound, while the final climax is mixed with variations of electric guitar and bass of Chinese drums. The choreography also refers to the charging goose formation, with Xia Wentao as the sharp corner to condense an unstoppable momentum.
For Yuan Xiao, this stage was closely linked, from the artist's own ideas to makeup and scenes and the coordination of the program group and all parties' presentations, running like a sophisticated machine. The smoothness of the entire collaboration made her even more satisfied.
Celes did not shy away from the fact that in such a battle stage, they always preferred to sing explosive songs to win the hearts of the audience. The first lesson they learned in Yuanxin was to respect fans and the market. They wisely chose to do so in order to better base their performance, so that they could express themselves and cater to the audience at the same time.
Yes, Celes made another big move in the second episode. From their debut until now, the backgrounds of the five people have been dug up again and again by archaeological fans. In this group, in addition to Mo Shuangzhu, who had already started writing songs and arranging music for her sister's group before becoming a trainee, there is also Xia Wentao, who studied opera in the best music college.
After making pop music for so long, many fans almost forgot that Celes’ configuration in traditional Chinese music is not inferior to C-pop at all.
So when Xia Wentao used the movement of the other four members to cover up a somersault and then appeared, with eyes as sharp as knives and a bright voice singing out the famous excerpt from the adapted Peking Opera "Mulan", the whole audience was shocked.
"I just bought a saddle from the market, whipped my horse, and set off at lightning speed. The cold wind blows the golden watchtowers, and the wind blows the iron armor cold. The moon is bright, hurry up, don't delay. The frosty moon presses down on the long river, and the soldiers can't sleep at night. The feathered letter is as urgent as fire, when will it arrive in front of the army?"
The last word was dragged out, which is not entirely the way of handling it in opera, but at this moment Xia Wentao interpreted it in the most appropriate and passionate way, with flames bursting out all around the stage at the same time, and hot flames spewing out from the device, just like a battlefield.
Song Lianqing, Xin Mengting, Leng Ci and Mo Shuangzhu lined up in a row, incorporating the mountain shoulder and cloud hands from Chinese opera into their movements at this moment. Each of them had practiced their postures very hard, and Xia Wentao corrected them bit by bit. Of course, they were not as powerful as Xia Wentao's boy's skills, but they were able to gain some of their charm, allowing them to perform well on this stage.
At this moment, Mo Shuangzhu's eyes were slightly tearful. For the sake of her stage performance, she had deliberately avoided thinking about certain things since before going on stage. But at this moment, standing on the stage, she knew clearly that everything they presented would be seen through the eyes and memories of the cheering people present, would be captured by every accurately shot, would fly across the country along the invisible network signal, and would even be recorded for the whole world to see one day. She couldn't help but get excited when she thought about this.
She took advantage of the moment when she crossed paths with Leng Ci to quickly and lightly rub the corner of her eye, and when she moved to the front row, she grasped the moment when the camera passed by like a soldier. Every expression and every strength was impeccable, and the second when she "killed" the camera was cut into a divine animated picture and circulated for a long time.
It was another stage that was beyond imagination from creativity to performance. This Celes easily dominated the trending searches again on Friday night. Fans are almost used to this weekly dominance. Fans don’t even need to bother to recommend it in the comments on the square, as the praise from real passers-by has been produced continuously.
In addition, Stary performed very well in this episode. The pre-release song in the new album was redesigned into a mixed version, returning with a more mature concept. The two halves of the world added together became the entire world of Yuanxin, interspersed with discussions about a certain group's superb performance and another group's car accident. In short, the "Heart Dance Stage" program team and Yuanxin Entertainment won a great victory.
This evening's "Heart Dancing Stage" once again surpassed its own record set last year, and the number of online viewers for the main film remained high until the end of the weekend. Celes' "Song of Everlasting Regret", Stary's "Remaining Warmth", Mir's unexpected choice of an adaptation of an old Chinese song, and ENIGMA's sincere new interpretation of their debut hit "DEEP" were all talked about throughout the week.
However, Stary's two consecutive big wins could not save the entire men's team from their decline. They lost in the first round and tied in the second round. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that a certain group was powerless in terms of experience and lagged behind the other groups in terms of hard power. It must be said that when the tide recedes, you will know who is swimming naked. However, some of the people who were forced into the group are also quite uncomfortable at the moment. This year, there is no elimination round. The main goal is to win but not win and to leave, so they can only bite the bullet and endure the scolding from netizens every round.
If it weren't for the outstanding performances of Stary and Re:V, they wouldn't be compared to such a weak team. They could have just said that the Chinese and foreign teams had different backgrounds when they were crushed by the women's team. But the two strong teams fought against the opponents in a very exciting and back-and-forth manner, which made the team that was dragging their feet stand out.
But the gap in strength cannot be made up overnight. Their excellent singing and dancing skills and stable breath are the result of countless days and nights of sweat in the practice room and gym. It would not be fair to let them be exhausted for a few days and then use other means to make up for it.
Fortunately, starting from the third episode, "Heart Dancing Stage" has welcomed flying guests, with two participating in the competition in each episode, which can be regarded as bringing new variables to the program.
The women's team is SKY's return, but it's a pity that we won't be able to see all of them on the show together again this year. The SKY that comes is not a complete group. Two members have other work arrangements and cannot participate in rehearsals and recordings, and another member is stuck in a contract dispute with the company and cannot participate in the recording of the show.
When they arrived at the preparation room, they received a warm welcome from the girl groups. Celes had met the senior sisters before on variety shows, so she naturally took on the task of introducing them back and forth and adjusting the atmosphere.
It was lively here, and the men's team was also lining up to welcome them. The new guests of this flight were a British boy band. All members were of British nationality, but were jointly launched by a Korean company. They received trainee training in Korea, and could speak good English and Korean, and could even say "hello" in Chinese.
When Yuan Xiao heard the news of the group's debut last year, she felt a little complicated. She is not the only one who is globalizing her country's star-making industry. Kpop has been promoting the globalization of Kpop in recent years, some through cooperation, and some through venturing into Europe and the United States. There are many smart and visionary people in this world. If you don't enter some markets, others will. This has given her a lot of urgency for no reason.
At that time, she had already slowly started to lay out her plans, but Celes had not yet debuted and Stary was not mature enough. Many things also needed time to operate and manage. It was not until the beginning of the third year that Yuan Xiao started the last part of her plan from the second season of "Codename: Heart Dancing Stage".
Along with the third episode trailer, there is another good news. Starting from March, the variety show editing version of the second season of "Codename: Heart Dance Stage" will be launched on Netflix, the largest overseas long video platform, and will be updated once a week starting from the first episode. Fans in many countries will no longer need to look for resources or rely on domestic fans to move them, they can watch it directly on the video platform.
The spread speed of short videos is of course viral, but the fact that long videos have not disappeared in this rapidly changing era proves the necessity of their existence. On overseas platforms where American and British TV series are still updated weekly, the strong domestic content output directly fills the channel. It doesn't matter if the update is slower than domestic ones. The official multi-camera perspective, direct shots in the preparation room, personal direct shots of members and behind-the-scenes materials have all been translated and moved, and one episode is better than six.
The number of fans of Celes and Stary on overseas platforms has been growing continuously, and the comments under each dynamic are varied. When domestic fans go over the wall to do data collection, they can find more and more comments from real people that do not meet the data standards. On the one hand, they are happy that the hard work of their little idols can be seen by more and more people, but on the other hand, they can't help but complain that the flattery of domestic fans is more surprising.
When it came to the third live broadcast, Gu Yuchen was standing in the director's room. Amidst the busyness, he used a mobile phone with a poor signal to broadcast the situation on the scene to Yuan Xiao live. Because there were many people in the venue and Yuan Xiao was far away abroad, the signal was intermittent. Yuan Xiao simply put the tablet screen aside and watched it as a PPT.
Although there were only one or two brief scenes, they were enough for the experienced Yuan Xiao to judge the situation on the scene.
She was still packing her things and boarding a flight back home. She had been abroad for more than two weeks, and most of the hotel room was filled with her things. She had work every day, so Yuan Xiao had no time to tidy up, and she didn't even have a chance to go out for a walk.
The scenery here is still very beautiful. Yuan Xiao made a note in her memo that when she can take a vacation with the help of the system, she must come again to make up for her losses.
The only side note outside of work was that I bought a guitar for Teacher Gu. It was not a brand new one, the kind that Teacher Gu would naturally apply for funding to buy for himself, but an antique guitar.
Yuan Xiao didn't quite understand any of this. He just happened to pass by an ancient street while having dinner one day, and casually walked around an antique shop selling old things. He remembered that a certain musician seemed to have said that he liked him.
I asked the price, it's not cheap, it's worth the trouble to bring it back as a gift, luckily there are people in the team who know how to help identify it, it's really a genuine product. This kind of classical guitar is not easy to come across, the team staff are also jealous, don't understand how their boss is so lucky, just strolling around and you can come across such a rare treasure.
Yuan Xiao thought about it and felt that it must be Teacher Gu who was lucky. When he mentioned this to the person on the other end during the video call in the evening, Gu Yuchen also agreed.
"Indeed, it was normal before, but my luck changed after I met you."
It stands to reason that as an older overseas student, he can be very helpful in overseas negotiations. Teacher Gu's English level and life experience are excellent. Unfortunately, compared with that, the domestic stage still needs Teacher Gu more. "Heart Dance Stage" still needs a director who can ensure the quality of the stage.
Yuan Xiao still trusts Gu Yuchen the most. Over the past two years, the two of them have become the most tacit partners at work. As long as he is watching over her, she has no worries when she goes out.
When facing Yuan Xiao, the two groups Stary and Celes still had to consider their respect for their boss to a certain extent, but they had no worries about acting coquettishly towards Gu Yuchen, their dear teacher. They asked him to watch the mixing, positioning and visual effects, and they wished they could split Gu Yuchen into two.
Teacher Gu worked tirelessly and made every stage harmonious and beautiful. After several episodes, not only the domestic entertainment groups, but also the foreign entertainment groups were also convinced. Good stage directors and music directors are scarce talents everywhere. The groups that had received help from Gu Yuchen to improve their stages wanted to bring Teacher Gu back to their own companies. It was only after listening to Celes and Stary’s introduction of Teacher Gu’s special status in the company that they regretfully gave up this idea.
Gu Yuchen is steady and reliable in the program group. With his experience and knowledge, there is no problem that he has not seen before. He just calculated the time difference and deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of the work when reporting to Yuan Xiao every day, and complained to Xiaoxiao in a nonchalant tone about the hardship.
Yuan Xiao: ...acting like a spoiled child. Some people are just acting like a spoiled child.
What to do? Ms. Xiao Yuan could only give her top ten employees loving comfort and promised to give Teacher Gu a long vacation after she returned, a vacation for two.
