Chapter 149
NiGHT got their first resource in the first week of their formation - they appeared as guests at the "Back to Midsummer Night's Eve" music festival.
"Back to Midsummer Night's Eve" is the big production of Random i Watch this year. From the beginning of filming at the end of last year to now, a lot of energy and money have been invested. As the variety show promoted by Random i Watch in the first half of this year, it has also been hotly discussed online.
The music festivals during the two weeks of Christmas and New Year's Day have set off the Internet. During that time, you can see relevant stage clips as long as you turn on your phone.
The content of the early programs mostly focused on the preparation stage, and there were not many viewers who followed the show. It officially became popular when their music festival episodes were broadcast.
The program group even released a pure enjoyment version, and the more than ten hours of stage allowed the audience who were unable to arrive at the scene to experience it online.
The two girl group talent shows combined are not as popular as "Back to Midsummer Night". The girl group talent show that ended a step later was even more suppressed by "Back to Midsummer Night". Because there was a rehearsal that night, many fans blocked outside the park just to see the style inside.
Even if the rehearsal video taken secretly was Gaussian blurred, it couldn't resist everyone's curiosity.
The good reputation is not because the program is so novel, but the offline music festival experience is really like the theme of the program, returning to the summer night with a breeze blowing freely and comfortably.
"Last time I went with my friends, we had a really great time. We didn't squeeze in front of the stage, but laid a mat in the back where there were few people, and sang while listening. That was the happiest memory of my adult life."
"It happened to be New Year's Eve that day, and there were fireworks in the evening. Tens of thousands of people counted down together, which was really fun."
"When I first saw the name of this program, I thought they had the wrong name, but when you go to the scene, you will find that it is really Midsummer Night."
The music festival was held on Christmas and New Year's Day, but it was already half a month later when it was broadcast.
The audience who were unable to go to the scene delayed feeling the touch of that summer night, but just watching the video will make their blood boil.
The second festival was sold out the day before the opening, driven by word of mouth from passersby and the performance of the show.
The news that the festival tickets were sold out also became a hot topic, and the artists who were waiting for rehearsal at the scene also saw the news.
"How many people were there last time?"
"It seemed to be more than 10,000 last time, almost 20,000 people."
"Oh my god... how many people are sold out now?"
"I was not nervous at first, well, now it starts again."
The news that the festival tickets were sold out was also conveyed to the artists, and everyone started to chatter during the rehearsal. They even acted more excited about the start of tomorrow's festival than the audience.
The rest area was full of artists and teachers who were waiting, and NiGHT, who had not debuted for a week, seemed a little nervous.
I don't know which staff member arranged it, but they pushed their rehearsal time to the front, so that there were several groups of seniors waiting to rehearse behind them.
This means that every mistake will extend the time, and the long wait is not easy to endure. They are really afraid of leaving a bad impression on those teachers.
The teacher in charge of NiGHT stage performances held a bottle of water and a roll of A4 paper, comforting and admonishing the nine of them.
"It's just a rehearsal, don't be too nervous, the purpose of rehearsal is to find out the problems."
"We have already trained urgently for a week, dance the movements well, don't rush the beat, don't forget the movements, remember what I told you in class."
"Of course, the more important thing is to enjoy the stage."
The staff over there have already started to urge them, and the dance teacher saw this and called the nine people together to cheer them up, "Come on!"
The nine girls were like they were about to go to the battlefield, and they shouted loudly, "Come on--"
This cheering caused the surroundings to "earthquake", and scared the teachers who were waiting in the rest area at the back.
NiGHT was going to rehearse, and AIcho and a few others quietly came to the director's studio to see their stage situation.
Random entertainment groups all have a very obvious feature, that is, they are not afraid of the stage and are very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. Confidence and relaxation are the two most important points to convey the emotions on the stage.
Obviously, the nine of them lack this feeling.
Compared with the music festival, they are more like promoting songs. Their movements are meticulous and the nine people seem to use the same strength. The singing is more like playing a CD, and there is no flaw.
This quality of stage will definitely be enshrined as a god when it is used to promote songs when returning, but this is a music festival, and the small stage method cannot be used.
"Should we talk to them?"
"...What if we look like seniors?"
"But the response to such a stage tomorrow will definitely not be very good."
"I think it's OK."
In addition to caring about the music festival, the audience also cared about the real interaction between the four groups of Random Entertainment in the backstage, and were curious whether the four groups knew each other.
After the news of NiGHT's airborne appearance on "Back to Midsummer Night" came out, the four groups entered the melee mode.
The company's strong promotion of the title of "Royal Family" fell from AIcho to NiGHT.
Because they were all operated by Random Entertainment, everyone was very curious about which of the four groups was stronger, and "Back to Midsummer Night" firmly captured the hearts of the public at this point.
Everyone really wanted to see them fight.
With this mentality of watching the excitement, the clock was moved to noon on the day of the music festival.
Zhuhai is still so hot, especially at noon now. The sun is so hot that my hair starts to burn, and the tourists in the queue are taking off their clothes one by one.
Today's waiting time is obviously longer than the first time. It takes more than 20 minutes to queue before entering.
After all, the tickets are sold out, and the number of people who come is more than twice as much as before.
The young and beautiful boys and girls started to wander around after passing the Taoist temple at the gate.
There are people wearing boots on the grass, and people wearing long skirts that drag on the ground. Everywhere are tourists taking pictures to commemorate this trip.
The second music festival happened to be before the New Year, and the students were on vacation, so naturally there were many people coming.
Many little girls came to this kind of activity for the first time. They ran around, curiously touching and bumping, their eyes sparkling, like little deer.
It should have been a cold winter month, but it felt like summer. Zhuhai was sunny for the past two days, and the temperature rose a bit.
Today, the highest temperature in Zhuhai was 23 degrees. It was enough to wear thin clothes, because you don’t wear too much, it’s convenient to move around, and you can just put on a coat when it’s cold.
The gate let tourists into the park in advance. Some of them came in at 10 o’clock in the morning, and they even slept in the camping tent. There
were more people coming in now, and it was noisy outside. The group of people who came in in the morning also got up now.
The time was just right. Jiang Liuxing and the other two were sitting in the tent and yawned. Liu Yue, who was standing nearby, came out from her sleeping bag, pinched a piece of false eyelash on her eyelid and said, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have put on makeup today."
"...My makeup is okay, it's just a little greasy." Jiang Liuxing picked up the small mirror in the bag and took a look at it. Then he rummaged around and found a bottle of eyelash glue. He asked Liu Yue, "I have some eyelash glue here. Do you want to use it?"
"No, let's just leave it this way. I can't squeeze into the front row anyway." Liu Yue gave up touching up her makeup and took off the false eyelashes on her other eye.
Zhou Keke, who had already come out of her sleeping bag and packed her things, glanced at her phone and said, "It's almost time, let's go to the stage."
"Okay, put everything up first, otherwise they'll get lost later." Jiang Liuxing walked outside the tent with a hunched back and took a look at the container-style cabin.
The package included a camping site, which meant you had to choose one of the two, but the three of them bought two packages, so they chose both the camping tent and the container cabin.
After taking a nap in the tent, the three of them packed their luggage and pulled the boxes to the container cabin.
As soon as they put their things away and locked the door, they heard screams like waves from afar.
The volume was so loud that it even covered the prelude.
At this time, AIcho appeared on the stage in an elevator.
"Guess Who's Singing——" Pei Zhiping held up his earphone and shouted.
The audience shouted loudly: "AIcho——!!!"
This is the beginning of their title song. The watermarked voice that sounded like a whisper was re-played by Pei Zhiping and turned into a king's shout.
Just listening to the response from the audience, you can tell how popular their title song is.
They use a commercial model to create personal IP, so that topics related to them can easily attract attention. When those beauty bloggers and cross-dressing bloggers imitate the four people, they will accompany AIcho's music.
Over time, their title song became popular on Douyin.
The four of them wore denim skirts, and their upper bodies were all very simple tube tops or suspenders. The combination of white tops and denim skirts complemented the luxurious accessories they wore.
Pei Zhiping wore six or seven strings of pearl necklaces around her neck, and Han Lemi had rings on all ten fingers. The accessories of the other two were also exaggerated, and this outfit was the one they wore in the MV.
The big screen coupled with these jewels, even at noon, could not resist their brilliance.
Compared with the original dance with unified movements, they re-arranged the dance movements, and only danced in unison during the chorus, and the rest of the time they ran around the stage.
The arrangement of the stage movements was like showing off their jewelry, walking from the right side of the stage to the left side, and then running from the left side to the extended stage.
Pei Zhiping didn't even sing the first two sentences to the audience. The voices of the audience directly covered her voice. She could hear some of it even with her earphones.
The highest temperature today was only 23 degrees, but at this moment, the audience seemed to have returned to the hot summer.
The high emotions of the people around her infected each other. The blood in her body was boiling, the soaring adrenaline was clamoring, her body couldn't stop shaking, and her breathing began to become disordered -
"It's so fucking cool!"
