Chapter 118 Issues 7 and 8
The captain selection for Group One was sloppy, but Group Two wasn't much better.
Qiao Sinian, Wu Anyi, Jiang Mu, Huang Xi, and Lu Jianian sat down in the practice room and started to catch up on their progress.
Qiao Sinian said, "Who wants to be the captain?"
Everyone was concentrating on reading the lyrics. No one spoke, and no one even looked up at Qiao Sinian.
Qiao Sinian was not in a hurry either, he also looked at the lyrics.
Although they watched the DEMO of each song during the song selection phase, the specific content of each clip still needs to be analyzed further.
At this moment, holding the lyrics in my hand and looking at the music score, the melody and tone have already entered my mind, making me frown.
"You be the captain." After a long silence, Lu Jianian suddenly responded to Qiao Sinian's question as if he had just woken up from a dream.
There was silence again.
Huang Xi finally finished reading the lyrics and looked up at Qiao Sinian: "I agree."
Jiang Mu and Wu Anyi were whispering about the lyrics. After the discussion, Jiang Mu put them down and nodded in agreement: "Vote for Qiao Sinian."
Wu Anyi followed the ticket.
Then Qiao Sinian finished flipping through the lyrics and nodded, "Okay then."
So Qiao Sinian asked who wanted to be the captain and became the captain.
Su Rong: ? ?
What does she ask?
Are there five sloths in group two?
He suddenly said something.
Watching them talking back and forth, Su Rong felt exhausted.
Don’t they think there is something wrong?
Moreover, this section has obvious signs of editing, which means that these few meaningless conversations about choosing the captain may have taken more than three minutes.
No, why would there be an intermission when just saying a sentence?
Group three and group two are like extremes.
Sitting in the practice room as well, Bai You was the first to speak: "Who wants to be captain?"
After they finished speaking, the five people looked at each other, and four of them said in unison: "Then let's go to Qiu Yuge."
"Qiu Yuge?"
"Qiu Yuge is here."
"I recommend Qiu Yuge."
As for why four people spoke, it was because Qiu Yuge didn't say anything.
As for why the five people were looking at each other, it was because Lu Yao never joined in such discussions on the show.
Faced with everyone's unanimous recommendation, Qiu Yuge, who was recommended, did not feel embarrassed at all and immediately nodded in agreement.
"good."
So in just a few seconds, the captain of Group Three was decided, and it was Qiu Yuge.
Su Rong took the old man’s cell phone from the subway again.
No, she asked.
The team that just chose their captain was very quick, but it took them three minutes to decide.
This team is better and more efficient. Did it take thirty seconds?
The program team may also feel that Group Three does not have enough weight, so they inserted an interview with Group Three here.
"Why was Qiu Yuge chosen as the captain?"
The four people except Qiu Yuge answered in turn.
Zhu Xiangming: "Qiu Yuge is very suitable to be the captain."
Cang Zizhen: "Qiu Yuge has sufficient experience as a captain. With him as the captain, there will be no need for further adjustment, and the efficiency will be higher."
Yin Hongxue: "Qiu Yuge is very enthusiastic and kind, and is suitable to be the captain."
Bai You: "Lu Yao doesn't seem to want to be captain."
Su Rong seriously suspected that the program crew had ulterior motives in this interview.
They were clearly talking about the reasons for recommending Qiu Yuge to be the captain, but when it came to Bai You, the subject suddenly changed to Lu Yao?
What does she ask?
Even the dumbest person wouldn't answer "Because I don't want to do B" to the question "Why did you choose A?"
How can this be considered an answer? This is clearly an attempt to draw hatred towards B.
However, after this interview, Su Rong still happily praised Bai You and Lu Yao.
Didn't the production team edit the video like this just to sell the couple? She is very kind and will support this kind of couple unless she can't find one.
As for whether the program crew's editing will create a bad image for Bai You?
Su Rong doesn't care about these.
These are things that only fans worry about.
She just watches a show and that's it.
The captain selection phase was successfully completed, and the next step was to divide into PARTs.
This time, group three will be released first.
Continuing the style of selecting the captain, Qiu Yuge, who became the captain, quickly took the initiative and began to control the process.
"Next, split the lyrics. Do you have any parts you want to sing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of pages turning could be heard in the practice room.
Bai You: "I want to sing the B and G parts."
Then others quickly check both parts.
"Can."
After reading it, I agreed immediately without hesitation.
Then Zhu Xiangming said, "Then I will sing C and F."
There was another sound of pages turning, followed by another sound of agreement.
Then Lu Yao spoke: "I sing E and H."
They all said in unison: "Okay."
They set the efficiency of PART, as if something was chasing them.
He chased me while shouting, "If you don't do this, I'll eat you up."
Such a speed is dizzying.
Finally, a discordant voice was heard in the practice room.
Qiu Yuge: "Wait a moment."
Su Rong pricked up his ears.
Is it coming? Is it coming?
Is the long-standing stalemate of fighting and fighting for more parts in talent shows finally coming?
Qiu Yuge: "Lu Yao should sing section A as well."
Su Rong: ? ?
What is this doing.
The others agreed to Qiu Yuge's proposal immediately without any doubt.
"Can."
Even Lu Yao himself agreed.
Su Rong opened her eyes wide.
No, just give the import part to others so easily?
Shouldn't this kind of song opening that impresses the audience be one of the parts that everyone is vying for?
Is it so harmonious?
Aren’t the relationships between these people a little too good?
Su Rong couldn't tell whether she was relieved or disappointed.
In her imagination, the training system should have such a harmonious atmosphere. She was also annoyed when she saw a group of trainees arguing over word segmentation in a talent show. She just felt that this group of trainees had no team spirit.
They are clearly in a boy band, but they only think about standing out for themselves.
But now, the harmonious and rapid word segmentation segment has finally arrived. As a viewer, she feels that the program effect is not enough and wants to see something exciting.
Next, Qiu Yuge, Yin Hongxue and Cang Zizhen were still very efficient in choosing their respective PARTs.
One person speaks up and suggests the part he or she wants to perform, and then the other two agree.
It's that simple and clear.
In just a few words, the segment of the talent show that can drag on for ten minutes and make people angry was over.
The program team seemed to feel that ending it like this was too anticlimactic, so they inserted the interview segment again.
"Why let Lu Yao sing A?"
Qiu Yuge: "The introduction must be catchy, and Lu Yao is the best singer."
"Why did you guys book PART so quickly?"
Bai You looked puzzled. "We've all been practicing for so many years, and we all have a clear understanding of our roles. We all know what we can and can't sing. Just choose according to your level. Is there anything worth discussing?"
Then the scene changed and the practice room for group two appeared.
Jiang Mu's voice sounded faintly: "I can do anything."
Su Rong: ...cut like this?
Su Rong quickly understood the program crew's intention in editing the program in this way.
How wicked! The production team is so wicked!
Just a second ago, Bai Youcai said that because they have practiced for many years and everyone knows each other, they are very clear about what they can sing and what they cannot sing. Dividing into parts is just a process of picking out the parts that they are capable of, and then leaving the parts that other teammates are capable of. There is no room for extra discussion.
But the next second, Jiang Mu said, "I can do anything"?
When you say 'all can sing', does it mean that you 'can sing all' or 'want to sing all'?
If it was the former, then Su Rong didn't realize that Jiang Mu had such ability. If it was the latter, then after Bai You's speech, Jiang Mu's "anything is possible" seemed particularly subtle.
It's normal to fight for more parts for yourself. After all, who doesn't want to have a bigger part? If you were really so indifferent to fame and fortune, you wouldn't be a trainee or want to debut. After all, being an artist is about trying to get in front of the audience.
However, after the particularly concise division of Group Three, Jiang Mu's statement seemed particularly dishonest.
If you want a part, just say it directly. What does it mean to just say "anything"? Do you want others to give up the part to you? Do you want a part but don't want to reveal your ambition?
This won't work.
Su Rong sighed.
In the previous episodes of the show, she just thought Jiang Mu was a nobody. Although she didn't have much impression of him, she didn't have any bad feelings towards him either.
But now my impression of him is a little worse.
Su Rong likes frank people.
Even though Wang Mingzhi always acts sarcastic on the show, Su Rong has a good impression of him.
At least Wang knew that he was being blatantly mean and said unpleasant things to his face.
How is that not considered frankness?
Jiang Mu's speech seemed to have set the tone for Group Two, and the process of dividing them into PARTs afterwards was just like Jiang Mu, roundabout and full of temptations.
Everyone clearly had their own ideas, but no one spoke first.
"The notes in section D are a bit high." Lu Jianian spoke.
In their group, except for Qiao Sinian who is the dance leader, he, Huang Xi, and Wu Anyi are all the singing leaders, and Jiang Mu, to put it nicely, is all-rounder, who can sing and dance, and can even rap a few lines when there is really no one to lead the rap.
But to put it bluntly, if you try to mix everything, the result will be that everything is mediocre.
Unfortunately, the notes in this section are a bit high, and except for Qiao Sinian, the four of them can sing it.
Now comes the problem.
Anyone can sing, so who will sing?
Lu Jia asked the question in a youthful and light-hearted manner, waiting for an answer.
Then we arrived at Huangxi.
The fool nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Then he stopped talking.
Su Rong couldn't help laughing.
Huang Xi seemed to be completely oblivious to Jiang Mu's expression of 'I really want to sing'. He was really worried about the high notes in this section.
Wu Anyi looked left and right, and said nothing.
Jiang Mu came again: "I can do anything."
Su Rong: ...
The fist is hard.
When she watched talent shows in the past, such scenes were everywhere. She didn't think it was a big deal at the time, so why does it seem so unpleasant now?
In short, after hesitating for a long time, thanks to the efforts of captain Qiao Sinian, the division of Group 2 was finally over.
Su Rong glanced at the progress bar and saw that it took ten minutes.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Then the program plays group one.
As the team leader, Wang Mingzhi took the initiative to speak: "I want to sing A, D and G."
Wang Mingzhi flipped through the lyrics from beginning to end, and there was something he wanted to sing on every page. It was as if the words "I want weight, I want the camera" were engraved on his face.
No one replied.
Neither agree nor refuse.
"Hmm..." Wu Hai hesitated and said, "A is the introduction, D is the chorus. Did you sing both by yourself? That's not appropriate."
There are only a few lyrics in a song. If you sing more, won’t others sing less?
"That's true." Wang Mingzhi nodded.
Just when Su Rong thought Wang Mingzhi was going to take a step back, she saw Wang Mingzhi speak again.
“But I want to sing.”
Wow.
Su Rong opened his mouth wide.
"I know these parts are not something you can sing whenever you want, but when you're on stage, you definitely have to consider the effect." Wang Mingzhi swung the folder and said calmly, "I think my performance is the best."
Wu Hai stopped talking.
Wanyuanzhou: "I don't care, just hurry up."
It looks urgent.
Although Su Rong didn't know what he was anxious about.
Luo Wenbo began to think.
Su Rong was also thinking.
As for the members of this group, according to her impression, Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou are responsible for singing, Cong An and Wang Mingzhi are responsible for singing and dancing, and Luo Wenbo is responsible for rap.
Wang Mingzhi chose Part A. Based on Su Rong's understanding of the original song, it would be best to let a lead singer who is good at vocals sing it.
But to be honest, Su Rong couldn't imagine the lead singers of this group, Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou, singing this part.
And she didn't want to watch it.
Because this part A requires a light singing and ethereal feeling!
What we want is beauty and atmosphere.
Su Rong couldn't remember how Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou sang, but in terms of beauty and atmosphere alone, they were already given a big cross.
Luo Wenbo seemed to have gone through the same thought process as Su Rong. After Su Rong finished thinking, she heard Luo Wenbo's voice.
"I vote for Wang Mingzhi."
Cong An followed Piao: "Me too."
Seeing this, Wanyuanzhou flipped through the lyrics and nodded: "Okay, then I'll sing B."
Wu Hai: ...
Su Rong saw Wu Hai closed his eyes with an ugly expression.
Thus, the PART division of Group One ended with some twists and turns but very quickly.
Su Rong was looking forward to the next practice of each group.
The next second, the "Fifth Memorial Album" rang, and the seventh issue ended.
Is it over? So soon?
She hasn't seen anything yet!
Su Rong was shocked and opened the program list, intending to play the next episode.
After searching for a long time, I found that there was no eighth episode. The program ended at the seventh episode.
it's over!
The show isn’t over yet!
Su Rongru was struck by lightning.
No, why isn't it finished yet?
And how can we stop here, stop at San Gong!
Su Rong felt unwell.
The beautiful Sunday is no longer beautiful.
I was already annoyed that the next day was Monday, and now the show is gone, which makes me even more annoyed!
Suddenly, Su Rong's eyes lit up and he remembered something.
She quickly opened the program information details page and saw the program update time as expected.
Every Sunday night at 8pm.
Isn’t today Sunday?
There will be an update today!
Su Rong immediately became happy.
Although it is only two o'clock in the afternoon, there are still six hours until eight o'clock in the evening.
But it’s only six hours, she can wait!
So, Su Rong turned to the dormitory derivative programs and behind-the-scenes footage of "The Fifth Epoch". After enduring six hours of joy and pain, he picked up the carefully selected takeout and clicked on the program list at exactly eight o'clock to start playing the eighth episode.
That is the third public performance of the program.
For the third performance, the production team finally became generous and invited celebrity mentors.
Mao Ankang, a senior in the entertainment industry who was an idol and later transformed into an actor, and Yan Er, a well-known and powerful singer in the entertainment industry today.
A man and a woman are sitting in the mentor's seat, smiling and nodding at the camera.
The two artist mentors invited by the program team are very attentive.
First of all, these two mentors have been working in the entertainment industry for many years and have a high status.
Secondly, these two mentors each have their own representative works.
Although Mao Ankang has now transformed into an actor, when he was still in a boy group, his boy group also achieved a top position in the entertainment industry.
Yan Er came from a talent show, but it was not an idol talent show, but a singer talent show hosted by CCTV.
Different from idol talent shows that are full of competition and voting, CCTV's singer talent show relies on real hard power and is trusted by the vast majority of people in China.
Yan Er, who had just finished the college entrance examination, stood on the stage. The young girl sang "Say Goodbye" and amazed countless audiences.
This song composed by Yan Er became the graduation song of choice for countless schools during that graduation season.
From then on, Yan Er became a shining new star in the domestic music scene.
Now, ten years have passed, Yan Er is still young, but he has become a real senior.
The program crew put a lot of thought into inviting these two mentors, who are more famous than popular.
I really want them to give the trainees some comments and suggestions based on their own experience as veterans.
The camera sweeps across the instructor and locks onto the stage.
The San Gong ceremony is about to begin and the host begins to introduce the rules.
This three-minute competition is divided into two rounds, with a total of six songs performed.
According to the order decided in advance, the first group to appear was the team led by Qiao Sinian.
The song they performed was "The Girl".
Before the stage begins, first there is a clip of this group's practice room.
The song "The Girl" is not difficult, and the style is very lively and cheerful. It mainly tells the story of a young boy's sudden glance at a girl and his awakening love for her.
Let this group of 17 or 18-year-olds perform without any burden.
As expected, after the practice room segment, this group's stage performance had no flaws. It was very youthful and sunny, and the young people's passionate and simple love was expressed just right.
It was clear from the instructor’s comments that they were very satisfied and they couldn’t stop smiling.
Listening to the instructor's comments, Su Rong felt mixed emotions.
Maybe it was because she'd watched all eight episodes in one go over the past two days? Now, watching the trainees being reviewed on stage, she couldn't help but think of their debut performances and theme song performances.
From the first to the eighth period, this group of people seemed to have made great progress.
Su Rong looked at their performance and no longer felt as funny as when she first saw them yesterday.
She didn't know how long the program had been recorded, but she thought it wouldn't be too long.
But such a big change has happened in such a short time?
Is this the development system?
Feeling the feelings in his heart, Su Rong felt that he might understand some of the feelings of fans of the development series.
Looking at this group of people and seeing their progress, she actually felt relieved.
After hearing the instructor's praise, she actually felt a little proud?
Are you serious?
Could it be that she has been bewitched?
Su Rong couldn't believe that she had become a fan of this group of training-based programs. She adjusted her mood, put away the smile on her face, and prepared to welcome the next group with a blank expression.
As a result, as soon as the host read out the name of the next group captain, Su Rong couldn't help laughing.
"Let us welcome the next group of trainees, Qiu Yuge's group!"
It’s Qiu Yuge! Hehe.
If Su Rong were to say which group's performance she was most looking forward to, it would definitely be Qiu Yuge's group.
First of all, this group has the strongest overall strength.
Secondly, this group has the highest average appearance.
Once again, the atmosphere in this group is the most tacit and harmonious.
Even though it is still the third public performance, Su Rong personally feels that it is just right for these six to debut as a group.
The six trainees greeted each other on the stage, and then the scene changed and began playing practice clips.
In fact, the practice segment would be a bit boring if there were no surprises.
Because the trainees spend a lot of time practicing in the practice room and put in a lot of energy, but what is presented in front of the camera is just them dancing silently with no expression on their faces.
I danced over and over again, practiced over and over again, and tried very hard, but there was really nothing good to see.
The practice clips of Qiu Yuge's group were even more boring than those of Qiao Sinian's group.
The practice footage of Qiao Sinian's group at least included some jokes and playfulness during the breaks, but the practice footage of Qiu Yuge's group consisted of nothing but practice.
It was as if during the past few days of their practice for the third public performance, they had not said a single word except singing, and nothing else could be cut in.
Su Rong thought about it and felt that his guess might not be impossible.
After all, in the first public performance, she had already witnessed Lu Yao's extraordinary practice schedule and Bai You's great passion for practice.
In these episodes, Su Rong also discovered Qiu Yuge's obedience to the arrangements and rules, Zhu Xiangming's hard work, Cangzi's refusal to refuse, and Yin Hongxue who seemed like a different person when she was on stage.
Their attitudes may be different, but what is the same is that they are all serious when facing the stage.
So they will practice with full concentration.
Strive for excellence, just for better.
Plus Lu Yao and Bai You, the two who gave us suggestions...
Su Rong felt that she could already imagine what would happen in their practice room.
For example, after dancing once, Bai You felt that something was not good enough, so he spoke up. After listening, the others thought it made sense, so they danced again.
After the second time, Bai You was satisfied, but Lu Yao came out and said that some parts could be improved. When the others heard this, they thought it made sense, so they danced again.
So it went on like this over and over again without stopping.
After thinking about it, Su Rong felt that he really knew this group of people very well. Such a small theater was not OOC at all.
After thinking about this and that for a long time, the practice segment finally ended and Qiu Yuge's group's performance began.
The song "Original" by Su Rongzheng.
The song "Original" is very difficult because it not only has difficult high notes, but also has extremely compact lyrics designed for intense dancing.
This requires not only a superb vocal skill from the lead singer, but also requires other trainees to sing clearly and accurately amidst the intense dancing.
Doing just one thing is already very difficult.
And now, the trainees have to do two things at the same time.
Su Rong sat up straight and moved closer to the tablet, wanting to see it more clearly.
