After three episodes, all doubts about Stary turned into admiration.
Three episodes, three songs, now everyone knows why Yuan Xiao wants to host such a program. It is not charity, nor is it because he has money to spend, nor is it a whim, but he really wants to introduce Stary to the world.
They ranked second in two episodes, third in one episode, and almost won first place in the second episode by a few votes. Together with Blaze 24, they have become recognized strong opponents in the program. They perform one song and one album in each episode, singing and dancing at the same time. Their level is stable and their performance is outstanding. Their ranking has never fallen out of the top circle since the show started.
This is Yuanxin’s new boy band, and it is undoubtedly the best boy band of the new generation.
"Heart Dance Stage" has been reserved on the hot searches for many years. There are people discussing the previous episode and looking forward to the next one in the square at all times. Stary has also gone from being a nobody in the beginning to being a popular contestant now. The popularity of the five members has really broken through since the show. Now, even if you randomly pick up an elementary school student on the street, he will sing Stary's songs even if he doesn't know Stary.
More people are beginning to realize that domestic entertainment can also have a good stage, and the audience is willing to pay for hard power.
The number of online digital albums sees new growth after each episode. In the beginning, most of the audience just listened to Stary's songs and bought singles to add to their playlists. After watching a few episodes, they found that in fact every song of this band is different and good, so they might as well buy the whole album directly.
Physical albums have also become more popular instead of being exclusive to fans. This week, the company sent over a weekly report saying that many offline album stores have sent in a large number of orders and want to get the previously limited edition peripherals. These stores originally only did business with famous singers or foreign entertainment groups, but perhaps because they have been asked too many questions recently, they have come to them one after another.
The sales of offline dealers that had previously had a relationship with Yuanxin also became better. With the new orders and replenishment orders, the sales of Stary's first album increased by one third.
For Yuan Xiao, this is not just a breakthrough in sales, but also means that Stary is no longer limited to the fan economy, but has taken the first step towards the broader passerby market.
Moreover, this program not only made Stary emerge as a dark horse, but also allowed several veteran boy and girl groups such as Blaze, Twenty Four Orders, and Prism to return to the public eye with their absolute strength. Even the super chats were filled up again, and many old fans regained their original enthusiasm and accounts, and re-sent archaeological guidance and patina materials to the newcomers in the super chats.
Many of them should have become famous a long time ago.
It's a matter of time and fate. Sometimes, an opportunity will come many years late. It all depends on whether you are still prepared to catch it after years of darkness.
Just as Yuan Xiao promised, "Heart Dancing Stage" tries to be fair in putting all the stages in front of the audience for testing. The audience will be able to distinguish between good and bad. As long as the competition is exciting enough, whether you win or lose, you will get the most sincere praise.
I heard that some companies are already planning to form new groups.
In addition to the main live broadcast every week, the post-edited version of "Codename: Heart Dance Stage" will also be released on Saturday's prime time, with flowery words, subtitles and post-interviews of each group. Many people like to watch it again after following the live broadcast, just for the questions the program team asks the guests based on the theme each time.
Whether it is the production team or the audience, the most curious thing in this program is why Lin Xi agreed to go on stage again with the group that had not been together for many years, and it was such a fierce PK stage. In the final post-interview of the first episode, there was a group interview in which he answered this question.
"Okay, Blaze Lin Xi, start hitting the boards."
"When was the last time you worked together?" The director lady behind the scenes had a nice voice, as if she was telling a story.
"He's getting married." Lin Xi patted his brothers around him vigorously, "We all went to be his best men. We had agreed to be best men next time, but the brothers' love lives have not made any progress in the past few years."
The married one smiled helplessly: "Every day they say I have a baby, which means they all have one. How can it be possible that one girl has five fathers? These people are too slow. Our second generation Blaze still has only one captain without any members."
"As for the public performance together on stage, it's been a long time, probably seven... eight years ago? The last time we performed together on New Year's Eve, oh my, it's been a long time."
"Then why did you three choose to come to our "Codename: Dancing Heart Stage"?"
Lin Xi and the members looked at each other and smiled, "Didn't you invite us?"
The long-famous singer playfully winked at the director behind the camera, which was very different from his previous image of being steady, reliable and technically strong in other variety shows. It was as if he was back to his youth when he was with his brothers.
"Well, actually it was Lao Gu who called me at the beginning and asked if we still wanted to perform on stage together. This year is the fifteenth anniversary of Blaze's debut. In fact, we agreed when we debuted that we must get together and do something big on the tenth anniversary, such as doing our own concert tour or something."
"We really planned it at that time, but then gradually everyone had their own things to do, and the reunion was postponed year after year. We always said that we would wait until everyone's schedule was aligned. We always thought that life was still long and it didn't matter if it was delayed a little, until Yun Fei was diagnosed with that disease."
The members in the back seat secretly had red eyes. The brother next to him raised his hand and pinched his shoulder. "It was already quite late when he told us. Yunfei has always been a very optimistic person. He didn't want us to worry. By the time we knew he was sick and went to see him, he was already very weak and could hardly get out of bed."
"He said that he has been loved by many people in his life, including us brothers, so he is not at a disadvantage. However, he may break his promise of ten years."
In the camera, although Lin Xi was still smiling and remembering his best brother in a relaxed tone, there was still a broken crystal in his eyes.
"I thought at that time, what have I been doing all these years?"
“Only when you experience it will you know that life is very impermanent. Some things and some people, once you miss them, you may miss them forever.”
"Then since last summer we have slowly adjusted our work focus and found time to make a new album, a new group album. It is now in post-production and will be released in a few more shows. We should have a chance to sing new songs."
"So when Lao Gu called us, we discussed it and decided that it was indeed a perfect opportunity, so we came and got Lao Gu's arrangement for free."
Lin Xi raised his eyelids coldly and slapped the brother who was talking on the leg: "They just dislike my arrangement."
As brothers for many years, the members didn't care about this opinion at all and shrugged: "Don't say it, I've heard enough."
The program prepared a tip in the lower left corner for viewers who haven’t watched “Idol Unnamed”, introducing Gu Yuchen, who was also a member of the original group, is currently the music director of the “Heart Dancing Stage” program, and is a good friend of Lin Xi.
The director asked off-camera, "Do the first generation groups know each other?"
The three Blazes nodded, "Almost."
"We've known each other for a long time. I remember when we first met at an event, Lao Gu was not even an adult yet. They had just debuted at that time. Oh, it's been more than ten years now. It feels like a lifetime ago."
"There were also those old guys from Prism. At that time, there weren't many activities that could be performed, and there were only a few that would invite groups like ours. We got to know each other after a while."
"Prism and we are from the same period, but Lao Gu and the others debuted a little later, basically at the end of the first generation. The first two years after their debut were the last glory, and then they all failed."
"We, Lao Gu and his group, and several other groups, all failed to survive that period. At first, we had some competition among ourselves, but later, when everyone became obscure, there was not much competition and we just huddled together for warmth."
"Thinking about it this way, Prism is pretty amazing, right? It lasted that long." Lin Xi laughed at himself, "Maybe it's because they have a good captain."
The director then interjected, "Do you want to know what Prism thinks of you?"
Blaze and the other two were stunned: "How did you evaluate it?"
"Prism said that you five have developed the best after being separated. Fortunately, the first generation has you, Teacher Gu, and many other people who are still insisting on being in the circle and working as actors and musicians behind the scenes. That's why everyone thinks that the name of the first generation group is a symbol of strength."
“They are very grateful.”
The three of them were silent. Lin Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. The emotions that he had suppressed surged up again. The comments from the friendly group made them feel mixed emotions, as if all the efforts and regrets of these years were accepted. Lin Xi nodded, and nodded again, secretly wiping away a tear from the corner of his eye with his hand.
The last question: "What is your impression of other groups after participating in the show? Which group left the most profound impression on you?"
Lin Xi spoke again as the captain's representative, "They are all good. The most impressive ones are... Stary, the youngest. He is Lao Gu's student, right? I remember when they debuted, he posted on WeChat Moments to show off. I have to admit that I didn't expect them to be so good at the time."
"He has excellent skills, mature stage presence, and his own ideas for choreography." Lin Xi listed them one by one. Such praise is very rare, whether as a senior in a boy band or a senior singer. This is not just for the sake of Yuan Xiao and Gu Yuchen.
"And their performance was very stable, which is actually very rare. Take us for example. We have been singing for so many years and we are also scared of live broadcasts and feel pressure. I'm sure everyone has that. But you can see that these kids can withstand the pressure without panicking. They sing every sentence well and perform every move well. This is really very rare."
"They sing and dance with the microphone on, and they're handsome, right? That's what an ideal boy band should look like."
"Luckily we were singing in the front, otherwise it would have been too stressful."
Another member added, "They are very similar to us when we were young, that energy, and you can see that the relationship between the members is very good. When waiting for the show, you can always see them sticking together, which is good."
They smiled and gave their blessing frankly: "Other groups are also good, they are all excellent, each with their own style. They will definitely develop better than we did back then, and it is not impossible to break out of Asia and go to the universe."
"Come on, girls and boys."
