66 Challenge Tournament
SKY's reunion and participation in the competition undoubtedly caught everyone by surprise.
Their group's participation in the competition was a pleasant surprise, which even the organizer Yuan Xiao herself had not expected.
Yuan Xiao is just an ordinary and mediocre CEO. Yuan Xin has the final say in the entire domestic entertainment industry, but she cannot cover the sky with one hand. She originally just wanted to invite the current limited talent shows that have not yet disbanded to participate in the program, but Captain SKY from the same company heard the news and came to her on her own initiative.
"Boss Yuan, have you ever considered us?"
SKY, a girl group that debuted in the first season of "Youth in Progress" four years ago, has been disbanded for two years. The 11 members belong to eight companies, and the probability of them reuniting is no less than a comet hitting the earth.
In the domestic entertainment industry...is there no precedent for a talent show limited group to reunite after disbanding?
"In fact, we have always wanted to reunite. We often see two or three of us on other shows. Usually, if a few of us can get together on a show, they will dare to put up a sign saying that SKY has reunited. But what about the chance for all of us to reunite? Not even one."
To show her sincerity, Xue Tong, the former captain of the SKY girl group, came to the company to find Yuan Xiao. This beautiful girl, who can theoretically be considered Yuan Xiao's senior sister, has been holding her own tour recently. She is also one of the few individual idols in their group who is still insisting on touring and can maintain her tour by selling out tickets.
Among the remaining few, most of them have already filmed one or two dramas, but some are still having to painfully learn acting from scratch because there is no stage.
Acting is not highly regarded, as if idols from talent shows are naturally inferior when they come out to act. Fans of professional actors look down on them, and the audiences don’t recognize them. All those years of hard practice seem to be just a dream, no longer known or cared about.
It takes a long time for them to even learn how to ignore the camera. The center position that shines brightly on the stage can only start from a supporting role. Everything has to start all over again. The good habits developed by being idols allow them to simply bow and apologize when faced with the directors and producers who are disappointed in them. However, humility does not work on the set and may even make others look down on them even more.
In the regular video calls from SKY, Xue Tong felt sorry for her sisters' experiences, but was also glad that she had met some great fans who were willing to support her and a company that was willing to let her do what she liked.
Given a choice, who would be willing to give up their strengths and start from scratch in a completely new field at their best age?
Xue Tong conveyed to Yuan Xiao that this was the wish of all SKY members, and that they really loved this group and the stage.
Yuan Xiao admitted that she was indeed a little moved.
She didn't pay attention to what her previous show was like, but she heard from the system that this talent show was not like it was when she went there. In the first season, it was a very successful show and also the first girl group talent show.
That show, which could be described as a gathering of gods, also gave birth to the strongest girl group SKY, which has never been surpassed since then. Such quality was no longer seen in the following seasons. Even the eliminated contestants from the lower circle of the first season were able to kill their way into the limelight when they later participated in talent shows on other platforms.
From the first season and the two years of SKY's operation, many famous scenes, memes, and stage pictures were produced, which were regarded as the benchmark by subsequent groups. SKY is also one of the data heat makers in the talent show group that no one has surpassed so far.
It was also the time when SKY disbanded. That disbandment concert was sold at an unprecedentedly high price. The stadium with 100,000 people was packed. From the eleven people on the stage to the audience in the audience, no one wanted to leave. Until now, nearly three years after the disbandment, SKY is still operating stably.
The relationship between the members was also praised by fans as the best one, probably because the talent show was just starting out at that time, and there weren't all the weird operations that happened later. The members ate and slept together, shared the joys and sorrows, and even if they disbanded, it did not affect the relationship between them. When someone released a new song or made a breakthrough in acting, the members were always generous in giving their blessings on public platforms.
If there is any shortcoming of SKY, it may be that she is a member of a limited group.
Such a group really deserves another good stage.
Xue Tong left Yuan Xiao with the information of several members and their companies. She told Yuan Xiao that before she came, each of them had talked to their own bosses, and about six of them could make their own decisions. The remaining five were relatively difficult to talk to with their company agents, but they were also trying their best to get together, because if they missed this time, they didn't know if they would have such an opportunity again in the future.
Yuan Xiao accepted the information and promised Xue Tong that she would give it a try. A true SKY reunion would also be a huge traffic bonus for the program. Since both sides have this intention, Yuan Xiao has no reason to give up.
This puts a lot more pressure on our Xiao Shuo.
Yuan Xiao is not too worried about this. The greater the pressure, the greater the responsibility. It is not a big problem to have some frustration education occasionally.
So when she was lobbying the bosses of various companies, she also deliberately added one thing: SKY can be the guest of honor in any episode after the fourth episode. The meaning of guest of honor is that they can choose their opponents at will, and then go on stage behind that group. Finally, the audience's votes will be counted in the overall ranking.
She finalized them one by one, clearly stating all the effects that the program and the reunion could achieve when negotiating with each company, and even made some resource exchanges through performing arts resources and production resources, before finally gathering all eleven members of SKY, without missing a single one.
It seems that no one thinks that SKY will fail in the challenge. Other brokerage companies and entertainment companies are just weighing whether it is worthwhile to turn down other work for this show. Although Yuan Xiao said that he can make the final decision after seeing the results of the show, he still has to set aside time in advance for stage rehearsals.
For idols, the time they spend on stage will never be more than the time they spend rehearsing hard in the practice room, but because it is something they love, no matter how hard it is, it is sweet.
Until the first live broadcast of "Codename: Heart Dance Stage", the last bit of concern of the challengers completely disappeared. Now Yuan Xiao's contact information is full of people asking if the show can add more people. Even if they are not from the group, they still shamelessly come to ask.
Yuan Xiao actually hopes that there will be another strong and united reunion group. On the one hand, the show will be more interesting, and on the other hand, Stary and the company's trainees can learn more. They are still young and are making rapid progress.
Unfortunately, other groups except SKY have either been completely dispersed and torn apart, with minor conflicts between members, some of whom have never interacted with each other again, or they have long wanted to take different paths and have no desire or expectation to get together.
So, there was only SKY, and only SKY. When the eleven of them walked neatly onto the red carpet for the entrance, many veteran fans who had been waiting in front of the screen shed tears of true emotion. Even though some of them are now fans of other groups participating in the competition, the touching feeling they felt at that time is still the most beautiful scene in their memory.
Isn't it just these moments that make us chase stars? The white moonlight of the talent show is not just talk.
When Xue Tong and her entire group of eleven people entered the waiting room as the last guest to challenge the champion, the three talent show groups in the starting lineup all stood up and bowed to greet them. Xue Tong was the mentor of two of the groups, and they were also seniors of another group. During their talent show, many people went to help sing and had performances together.
"So strong." Su Chen clapped along while whispering to Yan Fan, "They won't pick us, right?"
As the only benefit Yuan Xiao gave to Stary, they knew all the starting lineups and guest players in advance, and could arrange battle strategies according to different opponents.
Unfortunately, after studying the list for a whole day, the five people still couldn't figure out what strategy would be effective against such strong opponents who had made achievements in different fields and directions.
In the end, it was Captain Xiao Pei who made the final decision. They just went at their own pace, no matter who they were facing, what song they were singing, or whether they would be challenged or not. They just had to choose the stage they most wanted to perform on.
The theme of the fourth issue is: "One Journey."
It can be a mountain road, a waterway, or a section of the journey of life. It is a relatively broad topic.
For Stary, the choice of this title was undoubtedly "The Journey of the Descendants".
In the week between the end of the previous episode and the official live recording of this episode, the five members of Stary were further madly studying their instruments. Yuan Xiao directly invited professional teachers to the venue and booked a special music room for the five members, allowing them to soak in it for more than ten hours a day.
As the band's killer song, "The Journey of Desire" is also the first time that the band has performed the song online. Although this song has received quite a lot of praise offline and is one of the most familiar songs Stary has performed, they are still worried about the adaptability of the band format to live broadcast.
This is also the first time that Stary has not performed in the form of singing and dancing on "Heart Dance Stage". If the band cannot ignite the emotions of the audience, it will be considered a failure.
Pei Zijin drew the performance order on behalf of Stary and took first place right away.
When he came back, the eldest brother looked a little guilty, which was rare in a thousand years. Facing the eyes of his four younger brothers, he showed his number as the first one to go on stage. Jin Zeyu stood up, stretched his neck and wrists, and reached out to bump fists with Pei Zijin: "It's okay, our song today is suitable for the opening."
Well, the style of "The Journey of Flower" is very suitable for being the first or the last, and being the first to go on stage is not completely without advantages. They all went on stage first, so SKY will not choose to challenge them, right?
Pei Zijin and Yan Fan carried their guitars and basses and said goodbye to the seniors in the waiting room. Xue Tong sat in front of the members, smiling and waving at the younger brothers, shouting, "Come on, don't be nervous."
Yu Le held a drumstick in one hand and shouted, "Thank you, senior! Don't challenge us!"
“Hahahahahaha—”
For a moment, everyone in the waiting room was amused by Yu Le, but Xue Tong winked at them mysteriously. That was not necessarily true.
The strong will wield their swords against the stronger, and we, Stary, are also a very strong opponent.
