Chapter 90: A Hit
Gu Qingge finally finished singing, and at this time the scene was filled with excited screams.
The female trainee Chen Xuexian was the first to shout Gu Qingge's name, and then the other female trainees followed suit. They had completely turned into fans of Gu Qingge because of this song.
Gu Qingge picked up the microphone and gestured with his hand to press it down.
When the scene quieted down a bit, she first expressed her gratitude to the female trainees for their enthusiasm, and then took the opportunity to thank and introduce her Queen band.
Gu Qingge introduced one person, and You Ruoyu and others performed a short instrumental solo, casually showing off their playing skills.
This in turn triggered excited and thrilled screams from the female trainees in the pyramid seats across from the stage.
Especially when it was drummer Tang Junru's turn to show off her drum skills, her handsome and aggressive appearance made many female trainees' eyes light up.
After Gu Qingge's four band members left the stage one after another, the female trainees started chattering again -
"The Queen band members just now all looked so good!"
"I really like that drummer, he's so handsome."
"I think the keyboard player is super kawaii too, like a beautiful girl from an anime."
"I'm a fan of all five members of Queen. I really want to bring all five of them home..."
"No matter what, I am still my biggest fan of mentor Gu Qingge. She has strong creative ability and amazing vocal skills. I feel that she is not only qualified to be a songwriter mentor, but also a vocal mentor."
"Gu Qingge is truly captivating. Only those who have truly experienced her stage performance up close understand how powerful her charm is!"
…
As a singing and songwriting mentor, Gu Qingge of course remained on the stage, and the initiator of "Creation 101" Cheng Zhe and the other five mentors also returned to the stage to continue recording.
After experiencing Gu Qingge's performance on stage, the four mentors naturally became more respectful towards Gu Qingge.
In fact, during the rehearsal, they had already appreciated Gu Qingge's song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", and they were amazed at the time.
But it was obvious that Gu Qingge didn't use her full strength during the rehearsal. She sang the high notes like a singing machine, precise and ruthless.
On the real stage, Gu Qingge injected emotion and soul into "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart", making it even more infectious and tear-jerking.
Gu Qingge, who has a naturally gifted voice, sings all the songs with his real voice, which is very scary.
As long as time passes, when Gu Qingge's vocal skills continue to improve and she has perfectly mastered the techniques of converting between true and false mixed voices and changing voices, her strength will be even more terrifying.
Anyway, vocal instructors Zhang Zhuoyan and Li Chengtian were already convinced by Gu Qingge after the rehearsal.
They are all good people in the entertainment industry, but they would not take advantage of their seniority in front of Gu Qingge. Instead, they would half-jokingly ask Gu Qingge to sing for them.
The singing and songwriting instructor, Mr. Yan Bin, has always admired Gu Qingge. After discovering that Gu Qingge's voice and singing skills are so outstanding, he naturally admires her even more.
Bo Yiwang, a dance instructor who is only a few years older than Gu Qingge, is a top male idol. Although he looks cool on the outside, he is actually shy and introverted.
Naturally, he would not target Gu Qingge. He even wanted to get closer to Gu Qingge because they were the youngest among the mentors.
The only person who was rather cold and rejecting towards Gu Qingge was another dance instructor named Zheng Ronggen.
He is over 40 years old and not very good-looking, but his dancing skills are indeed excellent.
He has appeared in many dance variety shows and won the title of "King of Dance" in the highly influential program "Dancer".
In addition, Zheng Ronggen is also an excellent actor who has won many prestigious supporting actor awards.
Maybe it’s because Zheng Ronggen has been in the entertainment industry for many years before he gradually came to prominence, and he has paid too much for it. He also knows the reason, which is that he is not good-looking and his emotional intelligence is not high.
Therefore, he had an inexplicable aversion to artists like Gu Qingge, who were extremely good-looking and famous at a young age.
Even though Gu Qingge showed impeccable strength, Zheng Ronggen did not change his cold attitude.
Anyway, his persona in the entertainment industry is that of a harsh, unapproachable artist who only plays real things, and he speaks very venomously.
The program team invited Zheng Ronggen to come, hoping that he would play the bad guy and increase the variety effect of the entire talent show. Anyway, Zheng Ronggen is not an idol and does not have many fans, so he is not afraid of being criticized at all.
And talented artists like Zheng Ronggen can also increase the professionalism and authority of the entire program.
However, what the program crew didn't expect was that Zheng Ronggen, who only played the real thing, had a prejudice against Gu Qingge, who was also a mentor, before he could even start to criticize the female trainees.
Fortunately, although Zheng Ronggen was cold and rejecting, he did not do anything out of line.
At this time, Chengzhe and the six mentors all stood on the stage, and the 101 female trainees opposite them bowed together and shouted in unison: "Hello, teacher!"
Except for Zheng Ronggen who had a cold face, the other mentors naturally smiled and nodded in response to the female trainees.
"Congratulations to the 101 girls for being selected from 13,778 trainees from 457 companies and colleges...
Next, you will begin your three-month trainee life here, and all your past and background will be reset.
Three months later, only the 11 most popular among you will be able to successfully graduate and officially form the new generation idol group, Girls Group 101."
After Chengzhe finished speaking, all the female trainees applauded. Some of them suddenly became confident because they were selected from the auditions of more than 10,000 trainees.
Of course, female trainees like Chen Xuexian who come from the Big Four are naturally very calm. They are sent in directly without any competition. This is the status of the top entertainment companies.
"Although your seats are now based on your personal self-assessment, the girls who dared to choose the top 11 seats have strong confidence in their hearts. Then we will start with you and enter our first round of grading assessment. Trainees who chose the top 11 seats please leave and wait." Cheng Zhe continued.
But as soon as he finished speaking, some of the 11 female trainees standing at the top of the pyramid seats were confused, because they really didn't expect that they would be the first to be assessed by the mentors!
This first round of grading assessment will divide the 101 female trainees into five classes, ABCDF. Each class will receive different treatment. For example, the dormitory for Class A will be larger and will have more furniture such as sofas.
As one of the mentors, Gu Qingge can naturally decide which class these female trainees will be assigned to based on their performances.
At this time, Gu Qingge and five other mentors had already taken their seats.
While sitting down, Gu Qingge was thinking about what criteria she should use to judge these female trainees.
The instructors already included the demanding and sharp-tongued dance instructor Zheng Ronggen, and vocal instructor Li Chengtian, upon taking his seat, immediately said to the staff, "Please give me my special headphones. They have 12 units, and I can clearly hear the trainees' high, mid, and low notes."
As soon as Li Chengtian acted like this, the female trainees present became nervous and felt that this group of mentors was too strict.
Seeing this, Gu Qingge decided to do the opposite -
Aren't you all so professional and strict? Then I will deliberately avoid the important issues.
I don't care about the vocal and dancing abilities of these female trainees, I only look at their looks and how good they are! I even look at whether they can be funny or have a sense for variety shows...
When this show is broadcast, won’t a mentor like me who doesn’t focus on singing and dancing skills be particularly hated?
The haters will definitely complain that I am not professional!
How can there be such a willful and self-indulgent mentor?
A mentor like Gu Qingge who likes to create variety show effects will not affect those talented trainees from standing out. After all, the other five mentors are not just for show.
But with her as an old pervert who knows how to judge people by their appearance, some female trainees who lack the ability but are still rough diamonds with good looks will definitely be able to show their faces in advance and get more shots.
So, Gu Qingge began to pay special attention to those "ordinary" but good-looking female trainees among the female trainees.
Soon, Gu Qingge discovered a beautiful female trainee with a perfect model face. Her name was Yang Jingli.
Yang Jingli was very much to Gu Qingge's liking, so Gu Qingge wanted to interact with her more.
