86 Girls Group Third Public Performance
“Woo——”
The stage was arranged to look like an ordinary room, with a bed, cabinets, and potted plants, but it was empty and the doors and windows were closed.
Until the prelude sounded, the music was sweet and gentle, eight windows were pushed open one after another, the girls yawned and stretched, full of youthfulness, and the harmony was like the bright wind calling people to wake up.
"The lazy breeze of California, rushing along with the morning light——"
Xia Wentao has a very bright voice and surprisingly bright eyes. When she opened the show, it was like a ray of sunshine that broke through the loneliness. The window was like a picture frame, and the girl in the picture was dazzling. She stretched out her hand to interact with the camera, as if to take away all the sadness in your life.
The opening sets the tone, this is a stage that will make people feel good.
"In the summer night, under the lights, I waited until the sea surface cracked bright red, and my heart was moved in a split second."
Mo Shuangzhu wore black-framed glasses and had long loose hair, looking like a bookish sister next door. She leaned lightly on the windowsill, her smile was gentle and doting, and her movements were lazy.
Everyone is in the group, but each one is different, showing different types of relaxation. Xia Wentao supported the window sash with one hand and easily climbed over the windowsill, as if she could fly. She walked lightly to the front of the stage with everyone else in formation, and every step was in rhythm.
"I will remember the secret words you have locked in your heart with a soul contract. I want you to open your heart to me even the darkest and most twisted scars."
The drum beats are like heartbeats, and the Jazz Funk style fits the song perfectly. Eight people are changing and interspersing on the stage. They wink and shoot the camera easily at the moment of shaking their heads. The girls' makeup is also a transparent jelly color, fresh and clean. They interact with each other in groups of two or three, singing, winking and clapping. No one monopolizes the killing part, but it is extraordinarily harmonious.
"Sinking into your silent sweetness is like falling into honey. Indecision is also a landscape, lingering in this eternal moment."
The melody becomes more and more lively, and the harmonies of several people seem to bounce on the music score. The re-rehearsed vocals have more layers than the original song, stacked up layer by layer like a thousand-layer cake, just like a group of very close friends going out to play, throwing away all their worries and stress while laughing and having fun.
The wave passed through like an electric current. The girls' waists were flexible and strong, and the chains on their wrists jingled like willow branches in spring. As they spun, their wide coats were blown up by the wind, revealing their taut cores and smooth lines.
All the female trainees of Yuanxin now have muscles.
Xia Wentao took a horse stance and asked the trainee in the same group to stand on her legs to complete the last difficult ending pose. Among the 36 trainees in the second season, she was also recognized as one of the strongest ones. Not only could she climb walls and fly over rooftops, but she could also lift two trainees with ease. She lifted people up as if it was a game. After jumping down the stage, only the tip of her nose was slightly sweaty under the lighting, and she hardly breathed.
The whole stage was like pouring a handful of watermelon-flavored popping candy into your mouth in an air-conditioned room in summer, comfortable and refreshing.
Yuan Xiao gave them a good evaluation, and only suggested that they could pay more attention to their confidence in positioning, and should not repeatedly look at the people around them to adjust, but should try to integrate their position into muscle memory.
Apart from that, there are no problems with singing and dancing. If they are given more time to practice, it will be an almost perfect stage.
It's not impossible for them to debut like this. The fans in front of the screen and at the scene couldn't help but have such thoughts in their minds. This stage is too girl group-like. It can simply satisfy all people's perfect fantasies about a mature girl group. The members are lively and vivid, with different personalities but united. The song performed by them is almost what everyone wants to be in life, the beautiful and relaxed self.
This stage was also the group stage that received the highest score in the third public performance, and the highest score in the collaborative stage went to the duet collaborative stage of Leng Ci and her group.
When the girls in their group walked onto the stage barefoot in plain clothes, it was hard to believe their eyes. This extremely plain makeup and look was actually something that would appear on a talent show?
When the song "Ye Zi"* appeared in the song selection for the third public performance, almost everyone on the spot looked at Leng Ci, who was majoring in modern dance. There are not many styles that can be adapted to the performance of this song. This song is like a modern poem, a song that is free to the point of being crazy. Perhaps only modern dance, which is praised as the poetry in dance, can match it.
The trainees even had some doubts. They all knew that Leng Ci originally studied modern dance, and this song did not appear in the solo selection but in the collaboration stage. Who would be willing to risk his life to accompany such a gentleman?
Leng Ci is not opposed to showing her basic modern dance skills in the show, but she is troubled by the question of who can cooperate with her. Modern dance is a type of dance that is easy to learn but difficult to master. This is a collaborative stage, and uneven levels will not make the collaborative stage look good.
But she didn't hesitate for long before someone took the initiative to invite her, asking if she wanted to work together on a song "Ye Zi". The trainee turned out to be Shen Ying.
Leng Ci didn't have a deep impression of Shen Ying, and the two didn't interact much. During training, they usually met in the front row of various courses. In her impression, Shen Ying was the most hardworking of the trainees who came later. She was a little shy, but a very cheerful girl.
Before she came, Leng Ci and Xia Wentao were both known as the king of big and small scrolls among the second-term students. After Chen Ying came to Yuanxin, there was some controversy over who the title belonged to.
Leng Ci didn't quite understand why she was obsessed with the stage of "Wild Child". She had always been a straightforward person, so she asked Shen Ying directly: "Do you know modern dance?"
"No." The girl shook her head decisively, "I learned a little classical dance a long time ago, but I'm pretty good at urban dancing."
Well, Urban is well suited to this song. Chen Ying and Leng Ci put their heads together. Chen Ying told Leng Ci about his plan for this stage. As Leng Ci listened, a picture appeared in his mind, as if... It really works?
Modern dance itself is very suitable for performance. Shen Ying’s plan is that on this stage they will not do a double mirror dance like the seniors in the first season, but just the opposite.
The two of them, one active and one quiet, one day and one place, one positive and one negative, just happened to have the rhythm of the song "Wild Child" which was relaxed and free, just right for the two of them to perform. Shen Ying didn't just want to cooperate with Leng Ci casually, but she felt that this song was really suitable.
But plans are always wonderful. Once the choreography officially began, it became a big problem for the audience to distinguish whether a dance was not performed in unison or was deliberately designed. After dancing in unison for so long, the aesthetic tastes of the two people were silently assimilated, and it was uncomfortable to watch unaligned dances.
"Something is wrong." When Xin Mengting came to visit, she squatted under the mirror with the choreographer to watch the two of them rehearse. After watching for a while, she asked, "Is it your design to have one front shot and one back shot?"
Leng Ci Chen Ying: ...broken.
Repeatedly adjusting and polishing movements is a painful process, especially during the recording of such a program. In order to perfect the collaborative stage while not delaying the progress of the collective stage, the two can only spend most of their rehearsal time in the evening, or even in the middle of the night.
Even the cameramen of the show had gone off work, and the short clip before the stage performance only had a few fixed-camera shots in the practice room. They practiced and revised again and again, jumping, spinning, and running-in over and over again. Dozens of hours were sped up several times and compressed into a half-minute short clip. It was quite shocking.
Song Lianqing, who had already stepped down from the stage, was watching the screen and reacting in the backstage area, and he sighed: "It is indeed the combination of the King of Rolls."
Due to the intensity of such training, Leng Ci soon had an extra muscle tape on her knees, then two, and then three. She never complained about the hard work, but just kept applying the muscle tape and wearing knee pads.
The two of them would never step onto the stage without confidence, so even though the short clip made everyone worry about them, Leng Ci and Shen Ying, who were standing in the middle of the stage, felt calm in their hearts.
The hard work doesn’t matter, the sweat doesn’t matter, and the injuries don’t matter, as long as the final stage is good.
"The stronger the wind, the more my heart flutters."
Leng Ci's hoarse voice sounded before the accompaniment. She wore a headset, and when she opened her arms, the white linen shawl on her body also fluttered, rising and falling lightly under the light, like a bird flying over the lake.
"Like a wisp of dust, dancing freely in the wind."
Shen Ying's voice also joined in, floating gently over Leng Ci's voice. Her makeup was as plain as Leng Ci's, but even more simple and neat, and her movements were more crisp. She rolled along the ground, intersecting with Leng Ci on the stage, just like a bird and a fish briefly meeting in the air.
One was in the sky and the other was on the ground, separated from each other, their movements were different but harmonious and unified, just like what they had planned. The stage was clean, with only two spotlights, which fell lightly on the two clean people.
"Blow and blow, my pride is unbridled, blow and blow but it cannot destroy my pure garden, let the wind blow and let it mess up, what cannot be destroyed is me, the prospect of the end."
From the main song to the chorus, the tempo is getting faster and faster, and Leng Ci and Shen Ying are getting closer and closer, until they are entangled with each other, backs against chests, wrists against wrists. The core of both of them is stable, Leng Ci dances and flies against Shen Ying's back, holding her wrists and spinning her. Shen Ying said that her urban dance is not a lie, she has really danced for many years, the rhythm has long been ingrained in her bones and blood, and she looks good with just a twist, not to mention the stage that has been carefully rehearsed.
Leng Ci is the taller of the two of them, and Yuan Xin doesn't require the girls to be too thin, but no matter who is holding up whoever, it looks easy, as easy as picking up a feather from the ground.
Chen Ying almost picked up Leng Ci and swung him.
This stage has a kind of silent yet intense beauty. The audience may not know how to describe it, but they will watch and vote with their hearts.
After the third public performance was broadcast, clips of the program quickly spread on the Internet, and many fans who went to the scene posted pictures and videos. The repo that they had been holding back for a long time could finally be sent publicly, and they wrote one short essay after another expressing their feelings that the girls were all excellent.
Just like the ranking in the program, the most popular stage of the third public performance this time was the chorus slice of "Heart", which directly pushed the adaptation of this niche English song to the point where short video soundtracks became popular. The most popular picture was the photo taken by Leng Ci's fan club of the two people flying under the spotlight. The veil was lifted high, and Leng Ci lowered her head slightly to look at Chen Ying's eyes, which were charming and gentle, like a spiritual kiss without lust. Both of them were tall and slender, leaning on each other like swans embracing each other, and the CP fans of "Dian Ci Gan Ying" blossomed everywhere overnight, which gave a big boost to Chen Ying's popularity and also allowed Leng Ci to secure the most popular position in the second season of "Ou Wei".
