Theme song MV
In the afternoon, before the official recording of the "Super pick" MV.
Yi Jingchen, the center, suddenly ran away for a few minutes, dragged the lady from the props team, hid in the corner and whispered.
The people around pricked up their ears, but could not hear their conversation. They only saw the whole process of the props team staff from refusal, hesitation, to compromise.
——After all, she is just an ordinary human being, how can she fight against a cat with eight hundred minds?
The MV shooting crew was in place, and the makeup team rushed onto the stage to touch up the brothers' makeup and tidy up their clothes.
The props team took the opportunity to bring in ladders and spread out across the stage, banging here and there, tinkering with no idea what they were doing.
Yi Jingchen won a great victory and ran back to his position happily.
Du Xingwei called him and was about to ask what Yi Jingchen had been doing just now.
Before they could even open their mouths, the director suddenly raised a megaphone and shouted at them at the top of his voice, "Attention all trainees! The rules for shooting the theme song MV are still the same as in previous years, shooting three times in total. When editing later, try to keep the best shots of everyone's performance."
"But there are so many of you, so we can't guarantee that we can capture every shot, so be alert every time!"
"Good!" the trainees shouted.
"As for your solo part, if you make a mistake, the filming crew won't give you extra shots. You have to seize the opportunity yourself!" The director paused, turned to Yi Jingchen, and softened his voice. He discussed with him in a gentle voice, "Yi Jingchen, you can only shoot your solo part for the last time, otherwise the props team and the cleaning department will not cooperate. You can only succeed once, okay?"
"Okay." Yi Jingchen nodded obediently, "I'll clean up the place myself later."
Director: "Okay, all departments, get ready, and start shooting now!"
The director crew put down the speakers and retreated behind the host seat, where they bumped into a middle-aged man wearing an expensive handmade suit and exuding the aura of a domineering boss.
He looked over and his voice suddenly rose an octave, "Boss Zhang, why are you here in person?"
Mr. Zhang is the boss of the title sponsor of "Super Idol" and holds a high position of power.
This year, "Super Idol" became popular before it was even aired, so the competition for the naming rights was naturally fierce.
The fact that Mr. Zhang's company was able to beat other brands and win the naming rights is enough to prove its strong financial resources.
Since the program crew received high sponsorship fees, they naturally have to flatter the financial sponsor.
Mr. Zhang raised his chin in a defiant manner, with a cool and uninhibited look, "I heard that they were shooting an MV today, so I came to take a look and look for a few suitable trainees to shoot the interlude for our brand."
When the program team signed a contract with Mr. Zhang, it was stipulated that the brand had the right to designate trainees to shoot commercials for the brand.
Before this, the program group had recorded two episodes, but Mr. Zhang had never used this right. It turned out that he was waiting for the moment when all the brothers in the MV would gather together.
The leader of "Super Idol" heard the news and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately rushed over to introduce Mr. Zhang, mainly recommending several popular contestants and princes of various companies, hoping that the sponsor would pick one from them.
However, Mr. Zhang seemed to have little interest in them.
He glanced around and stopped at Yi Jingchen.
"This person..." Mr. Zhang stared at him for a long time, feeling that Yi Jingchen looked familiar.
The leader quickly exchanged glances, and the staff member who knew the trainees better carefully introduced them, "His name is Yi Jingchen, he is 20 years old this year, and he is not signed to an agency. He is currently ranked around 20th. Although he has an upward trend, he is still a long way from being a popular player. Maybe... he doesn't quite fit the positioning of your brand."
The target group of this title sponsor brand is mid- to high-end customers. How could it possibly use an amateur with average popularity?
"Yi Jingchen?" Mr. Zhang repeated the name and said calmly, "Leave it there. I'll take a look."
In front of the camera, the trainees have already recorded for the second time, and everyone is fully focused.
Yi Jingchen, who was standing in the middle, did not dare to slack off at all, for fear that he would make mistakes and affect all his younger brothers.
After dancing for the second time, the collar of his shirt underneath his formal suit was soaked, even though he normally doesn’t sweat much.
This year's official uniform for "Super Idol" did not choose a spotless white shirt like other variety shows to create a pure and youthful feeling.
Instead, they chose abstinence and mature silver-gray, and just wrote next to the logo——
It can be astringent.
When the silver-gray fabric is soaked with sweat, the color will deepen and look particularly obvious.
It wouldn't matter if he stood in the back row, but Yi Jingchen happened to be sitting in the front row.
When the official version of the MV includes the footage from his third shoot, his clothes will become wet and dry at times, exposing him at any moment.
"Costume team, bring a spare set of uniforms." The makeup teacher shouted, "Yi Jingchen, change your wet clothes."
"Ah? Is it here?" Yi Jingchen looked around and found that there was no changing room in the shooting area.
To get to the nearest changing room, you have to run to the dormitory building, which takes at least twenty minutes to go back and forth.
"Yes, it's just a change of tops, hurry up." The stylist was used to matching clothes for the brothers every day, so he said without surprise, "If you feel shy, ask the people next to you to cover it for you."
"Yi Jingchen, come here!" Du Xingwei opened his arms, trying to use his 175cm tall body to block Yi Jingchen's 184cm tall body.
"... Senior Mushroom, thank you." Yi Jingchen was very moved and pointed to the live camera next to him, "Why don't you block that for me."
"Ah, so there is this method!" Du Xingwei immediately ran over, stood on tiptoe and covered the camera with both hands, "It's blocked, you change it~"
Yi Jingchen said "Oh" and lowered his head to unbutton his clothes.
The barrage pool in the live broadcast room began to flood the screen with comments, and the audience complained.
[Du Xingxing, I warn you, take your hands away! ]
[Ahhh, is there anything that I, as a distinguished VIP, cannot see? ]
【Eight-pack abs! Eight-pack abs! 】
[Sisters, you are confused! The front live camera is blocked, but there is also a back camera! Although the position is a bit off, you can use the VIP camera to zoom in~]
【！ ！ ！】
[Ahhh, I saw the melon king’s back, Sihasiha]
[Such beautiful back muscles, let me lick them~ Yi Jingchen, I want to be your dog]
[I understand, this is the conspiracy of the program team. How many people bought VIP membership just to watch the King of Melons change clothes]
[It should be said that many dogs saw the blurry back of the melon king and decided to pick him]
[I am one of them! I am in the trap, we old perverts are so unprincipled! And Du Xingxing, I will blacken you for five minutes from now on, who told you to cover it up so tightly?]
【+1! Du Xingxing loses points! 】
Yi Jingchen knew that "Super Idol" had a backup camera, so he changed his clothes very quickly, for fear that they would watch him for even one more second.
Fortunately, he had filmed the MV for "Breaking Dimension" before, and had the experience of changing 101 sets of makeup during the breaks in filming. He managed to keep his "chastity" before Du Xingxing's hands got sore.
It was just a pity for the old pervert in the live broadcast room. He activated VIP urgently, but didn’t see any paid content. Instead, he became more and more agitated.
Yi Jingchen, right?
I will remember you!
One day I want to see your eight-pack abs!!!
Yi Jingchen changed his clothes, and the final recording of the theme song MV officially began.
Before the shooting, the staff specifically reminded them to be prepared and stay calm during the interlude.
It sounds like some special signal, indicating that something big is happening.
When "Super pick" sounded, everyone cherished their last chance and danced especially hard.
Yi Jingchen has completely immersed himself in the role of 'idol', and with a huge sense of belief, he strives to show off his newly tamed limbs.
Instructor Gu’s play in the small dark room was excellent. During the assessment yesterday, Yi Jingchen’s interlude movements were obvious and he danced worse than the other contestants in Class A.
Now, he stood between Du Xingwei and Tian Xitu, and could not see much difference at all. The dance of the three people seemed as if copy and paste.
In the middle of the interlude, the choreographer took a ten-second break and it was everyone's turn for the solo part.
Tian Xitu pricked up his bunny ears and faced the camera, but his peripheral vision subconsciously glanced at Yi Jingchen.
Staff just said that Yi Jingchen will record his solo part for the last time.
In the first two formal recordings, Yi Jingchen just cooperated and did some simple movements, which seemed perfunctory.
The more this happens, the more people look forward to the final surprise he has prepared.
Not only Tian Xitu, but the trainees behind him also unconsciously turned their gazes to Chu C, holding their breath in anticipation.
Yi Jingchen had curved eyes and a very beautiful smile.
When the blank beat came, he raised his hand slightly, and a silver light flashed on his fingertips.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a badge in the shape of the "Super Idol" logo, with a circle of diamonds inlaid around it, reflecting dazzling brilliance under the light.
Ding——!
Yi Jingchen threw the badge into the air, and everyone followed it unconsciously, raising their heads.
In a trance, they saw flower rain falling from the sky, sprinkling on everyone, making the entire stage gorgeous and grand!
The bright red petals seem to ignite their fiery youth.
Yi Jingchen reached out his hand again, caught the badge that suddenly turned golden, and pinned it on the first button of his collar.
Look up at the camera and dance seamlessly to the next beat.
The other trainees also started dancing in the rain of flowers.
The theme song stage, which was supposed to be full of open and secret struggles and hostility, seemed to have turned into a castle in a dream.
Fans of each show do not need to fight each other to the point of bloodshed. Instead, they can be invited into the castle, immerse themselves in the performances of the princes and feel the dreaminess of this moment.
[It’s a rain of roses again! No wonder I spent so much time tinkering with this just now. The atmosphere is amazing.]
[Who understands! I feel like I’m playing a love game, they are all princes from various countries, lining up to be conquered by me]
[Then I want to choose Yi Jingchen. The scene where he threw the badge just now was so elegant. So elegant.]
[If you choose Yi Jingchen, you will have to sweep the petals on the ground with him later]
[Hahahaha! The sister upstairs knows how to ruin the atmosphere]
[I have criticized Yi Jingchen before for not being worthy of being the primary C. If he were to be the primary C, I would kneel down before him. Thanks to Yi Jingchen, I know that the solo part can be more than just about myself.]
[!!! The person above said what I wanted to say, Yi Jingchen's initial C is what a C position should be like]
[Didn't you see it before? Chenchen worked so hard after the assessment, not to compare with anyone, but to present the best effect for the MV. To satisfy his younger brothers who voted for him and the fans who are looking forward to the MV]
[Wow, I’ve become a fan of Melon King. I’m really looking forward to the release of the MV]
At the same time, Mr. Zhang, who was standing next to the host seat, stared at Yi Jingchen for a long time, and suddenly cried out "Ah".
Yi Jingchen stood in the rain of roses. Her innate nobility and the elegance that made people unable to look away awakened his long-lost memories.
"Is it... impossible?"
Mr. Zhang stared at Yi Jingchen steadily, his gaze becoming increasingly profound, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
"Thank you for all your favors."
"Give me a grand stage!"
As the last line of the song "Super pick" ended, the trainees struck a frozen pose.
From the theme song stage to now, for a full ten days, they have been dancing to this song, and they should be tired of it.
At this moment, hearing the staff shouting "MV recording is over", many contestants actually felt reluctant to leave.
We have danced to the theme song so many times, I wonder if we will have the chance to dance together again in the future...
According to the rules of previous talent shows, the 105 people will only stand on the stage together when recording the MV.
It will be difficult to gather all the members for the subsequent roadshows, offline meet-and-greets, and final encores.
For most contestants, this may be the last time they dance to the theme song in their lives.
Thinking back to the hard work and sweat of the past few days, their eyes gradually became moist...
"Make way! Make way!"
Yi Jingchen's voice rang out, breaking the sentimentality and fragility of his brothers.
Holding a dustpan in his left hand and a broom in his right hand, he ran to the end of the triangular stage and motioned to his brother who was standing there to move to the side.
"If you want to cry, can you go cry over there?" Yi Jingchen said sincerely, "I have to clean up the place and can't cause trouble for the cleaning lady."
"..."The tears that were welling up in her eyes were instantly held back.
"Yi Jingchen." Lu Ju ran to his side and took the dustpan, "Let me help you clean up."
"No need. I asked you to scatter the petals." Yi Jingchen concentrated on sweeping the floor without any complaints.
[We are adults.]
[You have to pay the price for your choice~]
"Let me help. I felt very happy when the rose rain fell on me just now." Lu Jiu smiled and went to the logistics warehouse to find a broom.
Before he came back, Li Jibai had already come to Yi Jingchen with cleaning tools. Without a word, he lowered his head to help clean, showing the basic qualities of a college student.
Not long after, several older brothers including Shu Lang, Cen Hao, and You Lingyu also took the initiative to join the cleaning team.
There were also two troublesome kids, Mu Gan and Du Xingwei, in the middle. They said they were helping, but in fact they were stuffing handfuls of petals into each other's clothes.
Then he ran around the stage, kicking over the rubbish that others had sorted out, and apologised frantically and pitifully.
In the official live broadcast room, although the main event had ended, the number of viewers increased instead of decreasing.
After the recording of the theme song MV is completed, there is a day of rest before the selection of songs for the first public performance. Now is the most relaxing time for the brothers.
Seeing the boys running on the stage, the fans in front of the screen all smiled like aunties.
[The brothers have such a good relationship~ Let’s just stop doing talent shows and just film the daily playfulness of elementary school kids]
[Naigan! You are an adult now, you are not allowed to bully Du Xingxing! ]
[The melon king is so miserable. The garbage he collected has been kicked three times, but he is not angry at all. His emotions are really stable.]
[How can the Melon King be emotionally stable? He is also a middle school boy, but Du Xingxing did not touch the point where he went crazy]
[Du Xingxing can't do it, but JB can]
[JB just sprinkled some petals and said the falling speed was 5 centimeters per second. Whose DNA moved? Hahaha]
[That’s enough! Stop throwing flower petals at each other, two chuunibyou! ]
Thanks to his friends, Yi Jingchen, who got help from everyone, cleaned up quickly.
There is no improvement.
It took two hours to clean up the entire stage and put the recovered petals back into the warehouse.
[It would be a shame to throw it away. What if I can still use it next time?]
[Even if I can’t use it, I can still use it to cosplay “5 Centimeters per Second”~]
Yi Jingchen clapped his hands and walked out of the warehouse where props were stored.
Before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by a man who looked older and was wearing a high-end suit.
Yi Jingchen vaguely remembered that he saw him standing next to the host seat as punishment just now.
"Hello, do you have time now?" Mr. Zhang's attitude was quite polite, even respectful, which was completely different from his attitude towards the leader of "Super Idol" just now.
[Man, I prefer your rebellious look.]
Yi Jingchen took a half step back and squinted his eyes to look at him carefully, "Who are you...?"
[Isn't he a pervert?]
[Why would a decent person block the entrance to a warehouse?]
"..." Mr. Zhang's expression twitched twice. He took out his business card and introduced himself as a big boss in the business world.
Yi Jingchen took the business card and glanced at the name on it: I haven’t interviewed him yet. I’ll arrange it next time to check whether your company has any tax evasion, tax violations, or other violations of laws and regulations.
Seeing that Yi Jingchen was staring at his business card very intently, Mr. Zhang thought that Yi Jingchen had remembered something and quickly reminded him, "Your father and I are old friends."
"Ah?" Yi Jingchen looked at Mr. Zhang in confusion, as if he couldn't understand the nonsense he was saying.
Mr. Zhang had already confirmed his identity and continued to remind him, "More than ten years ago, I met you once at the Yan family's ancestral home, Master Yan."
"Oh, I don't remember." Yi Jingchen shook his head and said mercilessly, "My last name is Yi now. The Yan family has a new young master. Please don't call me that."
[It’s already 4202, and some people still use the old-fashioned term “young master”.]
[Do you think you are filming a TV series set in the Republic of China?]
[Also, before you try to establish a relationship with me, can you please clarify how many years it has been since I severed ties with the Yan family? Is there no internet in the village?]
Yi Jingchen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked Mr. Zhang if there was anything else.
Mr. Zhang hit a hard nail and couldn't say anything useful for a long time.
"Then I'll leave. The staff asked us to gather together." Yi Jingchen left this sentence and walked away quickly.
Mr. Zhang looked at his back and frowned in confusion.
He was sure that he had not made a mistake. Yi Jingchen was indeed the young master of the Yan family who was rich enough to rival a country.
Just... break off relations?
Would the Yan family, as big as it is, easily sever ties with its own son?
He changed his mind and felt that what Yi Jingchen said should be correct.
If the relationship had not been completely severed, how could the wealthy and powerful family, who valued "bloodline inheritance", agree to let their eldest grandson change his surname, and how could they allow him to participate in a talent show and show his face in public?
Yi Jingchen took a few steps, turned around, hid in a locker room without cameras, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Master Yan..."
Yi Jingchen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of disgust, "The last time I heard this name was last time."
"Host, don't talk nonsense at this time!" Guagua ignited his interest in eating melons and asked excitedly, "Are you really a rich young master?"
"Want to eat my melon?" Yi Jingchen immediately suppressed him, "Dream on!"
Guagua was so aggrieved that she refused to give up and continued to extract information from him, "So when you later changed your surname to Yi, did you take your mother's surname?"
"No." Yi Jingchen replied, "My mother has also severed ties with me."
Ever since being abandoned by both his parents, Yi Jingchen has been a stray cat for ten years.
wrong.
It should be nine years.
"Because my parents didn't want to acknowledge me, I took my grandmother's surname. She passed away nine years ago." Yi Jingchen said lightly, but he heard Gua Gua crying loudly.
"Host, you are so miserable! If you join the pitiful selling track, they will definitely not be able to sell more than you!"
"Shut up, what do I have to sell?" Yi Jingchen couldn't help but rolled his eyes. "My parents just didn't train me as an heir, but they didn't deduct the child support. Every day I wake up in my 500-square-meter cat bed and open my 2,000-square-meter cloakroom to choose cosplay clothes... I'm very rich, I have free time and no one cares about me, and I'm handsome, so how can I sell my misery?"
Guagua: "Uh..."
I feel sorry for this cat for nothing!
"Host, then why did you hide in the locker room?"
Isn't it just about touching upon the past, trying to lick the wounds secretly away from the camera?"
"Because, I suddenly realized..." Yi Jingchen frowned slightly, with a bitter and resentful expression, "Since I am so rich, why don't I use my money power?"
"Host!" Guagua was shocked. "Buying a debut spot is against the rules! You will trample on the rules of the talent show! Trampling on the dreams of other trainees!"
"What are you thinking about?" Yi Jingchen showed a puzzled expression, "I mean, I should buy a luxurious cat climbing frame and cat food for the main body, so that it doesn't have to be locked up in the dormitory and eat boiled meat every day."
[No matter how hard it is, don’t let your cat suffer; no matter how poor you are, don’t let your jars be poor! ]
