Chapter 42 Camera Movement [Promise: What's the rush?]
[@A Ray of Light·Promise: There are too many beautiful pictures to choose from, so I'll just show you the animated version (the clip is from a previously released demo; the full fancam will be uploaded after the official full stage performance) [Video]]
[Top comment 1: Aa ...
[Top comment 2: Sister Tianguang, you really are a queen... [kneeling]]
[Top comment 3: I knew my sister wasn't lying when she told us not to sleep, oh my god, Ying Si is eating so well]
[Top comment 4: 5555555 I really cried, does anyone understand? I felt like crying the moment this popped up]
[Top comment 5: Oh no, I'm completely unable to sleep now. I'll be watching this video on repeat tonight to get through the night.]
Shi Yao hesitated for a moment when posting the Weibo message, but ultimately chose not to use the system's exposure tools.
This is already explosive enough; it can attract the attention of countless people without any external force.
As it turned out, she was right. After clicking send, it would take some time for the video to upload, so she took a shower. When she returned to her room and checked her phone again, she found that the video had already been forwarded 40,000 times and was still growing rapidly.
She had only posted it for half an hour.
Shi Yao was somewhat surprised and specifically went back to the previous post, only to find that the preview image Weibo post from two hours earlier only had a little over 20,000 reposts, while the direct shot post was exceptionally popular.
Looking at the repost section, it's clear that it's not just fans of the show who are reposting it. The profile pictures in the reposts and comments are incredibly diverse, including many fans of trainees from other groups, as well as many KOLs from outside the entertainment circle. Thanks to the organic promotion from these KOLs, countless people outside the entertainment circle have come to notice this fancam, and the data is ridiculously good.
The topic had already become very lively because of the two preview images released by Shi Yao. Now that the direct shot has been released, a large number of new followers have flocked in, and the topic's popularity ranking has soared to the top.
Indeed, choosing to use the original song was the right decision.
The reason why this fancam data is so extraordinary is partly due to the impact of the video itself. After all, shooting videos at a performance is much more difficult than taking photos. If taking photos under extremely strict security is 10,000 times more difficult, then shooting videos is 100,000 times more difficult, because it requires continuous shooting without interruption, which is almost impossible to do.
On the other hand, there were far too few fansite admins posting pictures of this round of performances. All the popular trainees were wiped out. At least a hundred people managed to bring cameras into the venue, but only six of them actually posted pictures. At this point, anyone who posted anything related to the performance stage would attract a lot of attention, let alone videos.
The preheating effect was far better than expected, and Shi Yao was in a good mood. She happily clicked on the green petal, ready to see how it evaluated her.
Shi Yao anticipated that the group would be very lively, but she was still surprised when she opened it. Looking through the homepage, every post title had her ID in it.
I feel like she's even more famous than Yingxu tonight.
The titles of the posts were mostly similar, so Shi Yao randomly clicked on the top post.
[Main post: Oh my god, Tianguang sister posted a direct cam video! [link]]
【1L: ?】
【2L: ?】
【3L: ?】
[4L: What's with the question marks at the beginning? Click the link and see for yourself, it's a real fancam! And it's 30 seconds long!]
[5L: This has shocked my whole family... No, is this even possible? Filming a fancam at a live performance? Huh?]
[6L: Is security really that tight today? I find it a bit unbelievable. A bunch of people couldn't even take pictures, but she managed to film a video??]
[7L: Oh my god, Yingxu is so handsome! He's such a charmer! That kiss on the finger bone...it made me blush! So all that innocent act was just an act!]
[8L: What a wonderful dream... I've never had such a wonderful dream in my life... I'm going to fall asleep with this video with me tonight... hehe]
[9L: Does anyone actually manage to sleep after watching that video? I'm so excited right now, and damn it, I'm not even a fan of Promise, why is this happening?]
[10L replies to 9L: It's normal to like looking at handsome guys. No matter who you're a fan of, why miss out on a stunning fancam? [rose]]
[11L: No, Sister Tianguang even had camera movement, is that reasonable?]
[12L: Who exactly is Sister Tianguang? How could she possibly film such clarity, smoothness, and camera movement in that cramped space in the audience area? How did she manage to move and move the camera with so many people crammed in there?!]
[13L: This video is definitely from the viewer's perspective. The camera of the fan site admin is top-of-the-line, so the clarity is a minor issue. I'm just curious, if this admin wanted to move the camera around, where in the pit would she have room to walk around?]
[14L: No, there were quite a few audience members who watched the performance today. Although about a hundred fan site admins were arrested, there were still more than three hundred ordinary audience members who didn't bring cameras. Didn't you all see such a big person carrying a camera and walking around the audience area filming videos? Why didn't any of you mention it in your reports?]
[15L: Maybe this girl was standing at the back, so the audience in front couldn't see her. But that's not the strangest thing, is it? Isn't it why the security didn't spot her? Other fan site admins get caught as soon as they take out their cameras, but she can even record videos for several minutes??]
[16L: Tianguang, it's not that I want to doubt you, but could you please reveal your filming techniques on FanMeeting? How did you manage to successfully record a fancam despite the security's deadly crackdown? I really want to know.]
[17L: I went to the second performance venue before. Actually, in that booth, if you stand in the very center, it's not so easy to be noticed when you raise your camera, because it's too crowded in the pit, and even the security guards might not be able to squeeze through. It's easier to get caught if you stand on the side or in the front row. The girls who posted pictures today were probably in the crowd. But what's strange is that Tian Guang's direct shot still has camera movement. If she were in the crowd, there definitely wouldn't be room for her to move around and move the camera, so...]
[18L: This girl is so legendary! Having a fan site admin like her is so awesome! She can easily carry whoever she likes, the actual celebrities don't matter at all.]
[19L replies to 18L: You're really going against the grain. No matter how much you promote a trainee's skills, they won't amount to much. Please, everyone, stop being curious about how the video was filmed. Such a beautiful fancam, it would be a waste not to appreciate it. A large part of this 30-second video is Yeong-hyeok's solo. His strength, eyes, movements, and details are all perfect. After watching it, you'll understand why his fancams are so captivating.]
[20L: I'm embarrassed to say I've watched this video on repeat twenty times... I'm not even a fan...]
[21L replies to 20L: Hi, me too... I haven't closed it since I opened it. Damn it, the finals are almost here, I can't possibly add more posts at this time.]
[22L: The video has been shared over 30,000 times... So popular... It's being shared even outside the circle, Syad, you're really famous now]
[23L: It's Promise that's popular, not Syad. This show broke out of its niche twice because of Promise. Promise is practically the show's godfather. The show's producers should be secretly happy.]
[24L: Sorry, will this have any copyright issues? I don't recall ever directly releasing fancams before, right?]
[25L: It's hard to say. Tianguang is quite smart. The direct shot she posted was exactly the 30-second demo that was announced when the song was selected. The original song had already been released, so it doesn't count as her leaking it. The production team has always turned a blind eye to the performance photos before. I don't know how they will handle the video.]
[26L: I'm a long-time Xiufen (a fan of Xiufen), and I can guarantee that no one has ever posted a fancam of her performances before. This feels quite sensitive, and the only two I can post are the fancams from the final live stream and the fan meeting.]
[27L: Will Guangjie be held accountable that day?]
[28L: That shouldn't be the case; at most, the video will just be taken down.]
[29L: It's a tonic, and the kid wants to keep watching it.]
[30L: I feel like it's only a matter of time before this video gets censored by the official team. Let's see when they react.]
[31L: I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to send a private message to Sister Tianguang to ask if she has any stock from other groups. I'll share a couple of them.]
[32L: I'm really fed up with privileged people. Does being "awesome" excuse all violations? Is there any fairness left?]
[33L: Here we go again, ladies, aren't you tired? What kind of special privileges are you getting? You think you can see things better than the audience, and you think you have sharper eyes than the security guards? The people on set didn't even notice anything wrong, and you're already shouting about it.]
[34L: I'm not arguing with the sour grapes. I only know that having a fancam has made them incredibly popular. Those of you criticizing them here should consider this: if your favorite fancam was released, would you think there was a problem or secretly be happy? Are the people who don't have fancams just not wanting to?]
The post quickly veered into a fan war. While some fans from other groups felt a bit resentful, they didn't express it. Only Lin Chengxing's fans openly clashed with Yingxu's fans.
However, encouraged by the preview images and fancams, the fans' fighting spirit was off the charts. They were not afraid of anyone coming at them. Lin Chengxing's fans, whose morale was already low, eventually ended the argument in a sorry state.
Shi Yao left the thread and looked at other related posts in the group, which were basically about admiring the direct shots and praising Shi Yao's half-open appearance.
She opened Weibo again and found that many people in her private messages were asking if she had any pictures from other brands. Some fan site admins even came directly to her main account to ask, saying they could buy them at a higher price, which showed how eager they were to get them.
Shi Yao ignored them all. The sets of pictures she sold earlier were carefully selected. First of all, she could not choose those that were close to Ying Xu's popularity. The third public performance was the last chance to boost popularity. How could she hand a knife to Ying Xu's opponent?
She looked at all the pictures in the camera and selected four trainees from the pool of candidates, whose popularity varied. She then contacted their fan site administrators and sold them the pictures, ensuring that the selected trainees were not too obscure but would not pose a threat to Yingxu.
Perhaps because there had already been a wave of arguments about "having inside connections," "having great connections," and "being guaranteed admission by the royal family," these claims were disproven after seeing other fansite admins post pictures. When Shiyao posted her fancam, the "royal family" argument failed to resurface.
When Shi Yao saw a few people with conspiracy theories, she switched to several alternate accounts she had prepared beforehand, pretending to be a passerby at the performance to smooth things over for her status as a fan site manager. Fortunately, she had taken a lot of self-proving photos from various angles before and after entering the venue, so she didn't have to worry about not having any to use.
With Shi Yao's confirmation, everyone learned that Tian Guang was indeed standing in the very back, where there was more space because a group of people had already left. In addition, she was very agile and would slip away as soon as she saw something was wrong, and ultimately she successfully recorded a direct shot.
Even if fans of other fandoms are unwilling, they can only accept this explanation, secretly lamenting why their own fandom can't have such an all-around amazing fan site manager.
Xiao Ai was completely dizzy after watching the fancam. Before her mind could process it, she pressed the button to replay it. She watched it more than ten times in a row before she came to her senses and exited to share it.
"Hiss..." Xiao Ai gasped when she saw that the number of reposts had reached nearly 30,000.
This is even better than the data in the preview image just now!
After forwarding it, she couldn't resist clicking in to admire the individual video.
Wow, these photos are really good! How can someone be so good at taking pictures? It's already a miracle to be able to take any photos at a performance venue like this. Tian Guang not only took photos, but also videos, and even did some camera work!
What an amazing fan site admin!
Xiao Ai is bubbling with happiness. Having a direct shot is happy enough, but what's even happier is that the direct shot is also exceptionally beautiful!
She personally loves watching Yingxu's fancams. After becoming a huge fan, she watched Yingxu's second performance fancam over and over again. Her face, figure, movements, strength, expression management, and everything else were on point. Moreover, Yingxu's dancing has its own unique style, with those one-of-a-kind little tricks and micro-expressions that can completely captivate the audience.
This is also why Yingxu's second performance fancam data is so good. In addition to the fact that Yingxu's fans are very powerful, there are also quite a few casual viewers. The official fancams of the show are only released on the Kuyu platform. The first fancam of each performance will unlock a special benefit, which is to give the trainee a gift. Then the trainee can shoot a short video of receiving the gift. As a result, the fans of popular contestants are very active in watching the fancams.
Kuyu is a video app, and variety shows are not the platform's main focus. As for "Shining Idol," it doesn't really count as a variety show with a wide audience. The people who watch individual videos here are mostly fans and a very small number of casual viewers who like to watch talent shows but don't follow celebrities.
However, there are also individual videos of each performance on Bilibili. As soon as the stage performance is released, the big content creators will upload them there immediately, and fans will also upload them themselves. Yingxu's data on Bilibili is also very good. His individual video for the second performance has exceeded one million views.
Fans mainly browse within the Kuyu website, while Bilibili is mostly watched by casual viewers. Talent shows are not mainstream variety shows to begin with, and not many people will actively watch individual fancams. Male idol fancams are even less popular. Casual viewers generally prefer to watch individual fancams of beautiful girls. Male idols' data is generally worse than that of female idols, except for a very few top ones.
Before the appearance of this fancam with a million views on Bilibili, the current season of "Shining Idol" had no stage performances with a million views on Bilibili, let alone fancams.
After the promise appeared, several videos about him appeared on BBC in one go, each with a million views, and the entire show's data on BBC improved as a result.
Xiao Ai used to enjoy watching Ying Xu's second performance video on Bilibili whenever she had free time, appreciating the comments and opinions from casual viewers. Everyone acknowledged that Ying Xu danced well, not just because of fan bias.
True performance and results will be reflected in the data; the opinions of passersby do not lie.
After Yingxu became popular, he received significantly more screen time in the following two episodes. His occasional freestyles during practice were also shown on the show, and there were even exclusive clips. By watching the practice clips, it's clear that Yingxu has a strong stage presence. He may not be the strongest dancer among all the trainees, but he is definitely the best-looking dancer.
He knows which movement, with what force, will produce the best effect, and when to match it with which expression. He can also add his own little touches with ease, rather than dancing rigidly.
The same applies to the third public performance. When selecting songs, the production team released a 30-second clip of each of the five songs, choosing the chorus to the interlude or the center solo part. This was to let fans experience the choreography and to encourage them to strive for the center position.
The song "Landing" and another song "Fly Back," chosen by fans, are the most outstanding among the five songs. Both are catchy classic boy band songs with great choreography, but the choreography clips released for the two songs are slightly different.
"Fly Back" features the chorus to the interlude, with the center leading everyone in a group dance. The interlude is a dance break for everyone, a dance relay that is very technical and requires everyone to dance well and coordinate well.
The song "Login" only played the last two lines of the chorus, followed by a solo by the center position, which lasted a full fifteen seconds. In the last ten seconds, the other members returned to their positions according to the center's gestures. After watching the whole song, you could only remember the center position.
Ying Xu failed to be the center in the first two rounds, and the selection of the center for the theme song was deliberately cut by the production team. So all Ying Xu's fans were holding their breath and wanted to vote for the most center song for him. When they saw "Login", they were immediately moved. Coincidentally, Lee Yo-cheol also announced that he had chosen "Fly Back", so Ying Xu's fans chose "Login" without hesitation.
These past few days, Xiao Ai has been browsing that demo whenever she has free time, imagining what it would look like for Ying Xu to stand in the center position. Although she knows that the choreography version and the final version may not be the same, and that although the choreography for this center position is very long, it is still hard to say how it will be overall, Xiao Ai is still looking forward to it.
This is an original song, and the singer is probably the original artist of this song, which makes it completely different from the previous performances.
I hope he likes it.
After seeing the direct shot, Xiao Ai thought to herself, "Thank goodness."
Fortunately, they insisted on choosing this song; it was perfect for the promise.
The movements in the fancam are not exactly the same as the choreographed version. The solo part is divided into two halves, with the second half adding some interaction with teammates. Combined with the final guiding movements, the effect is even more stunning than the choreographed version.
Xiao Ai wished she could immediately travel to the stage to broadcast the show, but at the same time she felt a little regretful. How wonderful it would be to see such a wonderful performance live!
Fortunately, Sister Tianguang took some direct shots, otherwise we would have missed so much.
...
Shi Yao, who was being talked about by everyone, was typing on her keyboard. She hadn't contacted Ying Xu in a long time. Since he became famous, he had become extremely busy. She was busy with work and didn't contact him, and he didn't take the initiative to contact her either.
Today is the performance day, and the production team will most likely arrange a day off tomorrow. Shi Yao glanced at the data on Weibo, confirmed that she hadn't been officially banned yet, and lay back down on the bed with peace of mind.
It has to be said that Ying Xu performed very well today. The last time she saw Ying Xu dance was in front of a convenience store window. There was no music, no lighting, and no stage design, but Ying Xu was still able to perform at his best. His movements were solid and his facial expressions were well-controlled. This time, with the help of makeup and stage design, he was absolutely dominant.
She's definitely someone who was born to be on stage.
Fortunately, he was able to stay.
When watching Yingxu's performance, Shi Yao was standing in the last row of the audience area. She had to record a direct shot, so in order to preserve the camera movement, she chose a more open space. In the end, the result was indeed good.
The only pity is that I couldn't stand at the front and take a closer look.
Each stage performance was recorded twice. Shi Yao recorded the video and took photos at the same time, without ever being idle. Her dedication was truly touching.
After returning home and reviewing the videos, Shi Yao suddenly felt that she should have recorded them with her eyes in the afternoon. After all, this was Ying Xu's first time performing on this stage, and such an opportunity was rare, especially since Ying Xu had performed exceptionally well.
But at least there are still fancams available, Shi Yao comforted herself, she could watch them as many times as she wanted, and at worst she could have Ying Xu perform them herself in the future.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Yao typed a line, hesitated for a few seconds, then deleted it and changed the sentence.
[AAA's Growth and Strength: Are You Asleep?]
[AAA's ambition to grow bigger and stronger: I bet not, you definitely won't be able to sleep today because of the performance.]
[AAA is growing bigger and stronger: You did a fantastic job, superbly, and exceptionally well!]
[AAA is growing bigger and stronger: Keep up the good work, we'll definitely be at the top!]
Shi Yao originally wanted to playfully ask Ying Xu if she had seen the fancam video, but she felt that Ying Xu was so perceptive that she might notice something, so she decided against it and changed her words to words of encouragement.
Yingxu replied very quickly, almost instantly after she sent the message:
[Promise: Did you come today?]
Shi Yao replied expressionlessly:
[AAA's potential for growth and strength: None]
[Promise: How do you know I did well?]
[AAA is growing bigger and stronger: Your fan site admin posted a fancam! It's quite short, but you can tell you danced really well. You're really something! [thumbs up][rose][sunglasses]]
[Promise: ...]
[Promise: You really didn't come?]
[Promise: But I feel I saw you today]
Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she sprang up from the bed the next second.
[AAA's Growth and Strength: Do you know what I look like?]
[Promise: Perhaps]
Shi Yao was drenched in sweat. What did this child mean by talking? What did she mean by "maybe"? She clearly separated each skin very clearly.
[AAA's Growth and Strength: What Does "Perhaps" Mean?]
[AAA needs to grow bigger and stronger: Explain yourself clearly]
The response wasn't immediate; it took almost a minute before he slowly replied.
[Promise: What's your hurry?]
Author's Note: Shi Yao: Am I in a hurry?
