Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Rehearsal
When the alarm clock rang, Bai You almost thought he hadn't slept.
But when I looked at the clock, I found that I was indeed asleep.
I can only say, like sleeping.
Arriving at the company, today's schedule is rehearsal.
Before a concert, there will be many rehearsals of varying sizes, and their process generally involves two more formal rehearsals.
The first rehearsal is two or three days before the concert, without makeup, and mainly follows the general process of the concert and everyone's grasp of each stage. Generally speaking, many problems can be found in this rehearsal, and adjustments can be made in the last two or three days.
The other rehearsal was a full-scale rehearsal at the venue the day before the concert.
From makeup, photography, lighting... the performance is conducted directly in the form of a concert.
This time they confirmed details such as stage movement, camera positions, costumes, etc. Once all the details were adjusted, what awaited them was the official performance on the next day.
Fixed cameras have been set up in the practice room. The trainees put on their name tags and sat on the sofas on both sides of the practice room, waiting for the rehearsal to begin.
"Let's draw a lot for the assessment." Sun Yutong walked in from outside holding a lot box and placed it on the ground in front of the camera.
This drawing of lots is not only the order of rehearsal, but also the order in which they will evaluate the performances during the concert.
Although it was a bit childish, everyone thought it was pretty good, at least it was fair.
Cang Zizhen was the first to stand up: "Then I'll smoke first."
He walked in front of the camera and took out a piece of paper from the lottery box.
Open it and show it to the camera, "Number Five."
He turned around and looked at Yin Hongxue, smiling happily.
It's neither at the beginning nor at the end, but in the middle, which is good.
Then Zhu Xiangming stepped forward to draw lots. This time he was in the same group as Qiao Sinian. He also took out a piece of paper from the lot box and showed it to the camera: number two.
The drawing of lots was carried out in an orderly manner and the order was soon determined.
Number one is the Wuhai and Wanyuanzhou group.
Number two is the group of Zhu Xiangming and Qiao Sinian.
Number three is the group of Qiu Yuge and Wang Mingzhi.
Number four is the group of Huang Xi and Lu Jianian.
Number five is the team of Cang Zizhen and Yin Hongxue.
Number six is Wu Anyi and Jiang Mu group.
Number seven is from the group of An and Luo Wenbo.
Number eight is the group of Bai You and Lu Yao.
Ding Ling still remembers that when the group list came out, she felt very complicated when looking at these groups.
How to say it, it made her want to do something.
Now this grouping almost perfectly shows the interpersonal relationships between the trainees, without any surprises. The only one that can be considered a bit unexpected is probably the group of Bai You and Lu Yao.
But this set of surprises only happened to the fans. They knew very well why these two people were in the same group.
But the fans don’t know that after the grouping results come out, Ding Ling can even imagine the fans’ comments.
On the one hand, it says that Minghui Entertainment only knows how to make wheat. After so many years, haven’t they sold enough?
The representative groups are Wanyuanzhou and Wuhai, Cong'an and Luo Wenbai.
Although it is not the first time that Wu Anyi and Jiang Mu, Huang Xi and Lu Jianian have collaborated, and they are often together, but because of their low popularity, they are not called brothers, they are called good brothers.
On the other hand, fans will question whether Ming Hui Entertainment is truly righteous. They only know how to promote ugly people and criticize the US, but they don't understand what fans like. Who are they trying to show off to?
The representative group is Qiu Yuge and Bai You.
With some curses about blood transfusion and binding mixed in, it's almost complete.
This made her rebellious and she really wanted to do something behind the scenes.
After thinking about all sorts of things, Ding Ling withdrew her attention as soon as the drawing of lots was over and signaled to start rehearsal.
Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou walked in front of the camera and started playing music.
Ding Ling looked down at the program list.
As the singers, Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou’s previous collaborations were basically based on pure singing, and this time is no exception.
"Give Up", a sad song, has no clear connection with the concept of breaking out of the cocoon.
But Wu Hai explained it this way: love is affection, friendship is affection, and the feelings they have accumulated through so many years of practice are also affection. No matter what it is, he doesn't want to admit defeat.
He will keep going and show it to everyone.
How can it not be considered as breaking out of the cocoon?
Why not count?
As a result, the song selections of Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou were successfully approved.
For Ding Ling, although the concepts set for the assessment of each quadrant this time seem to be useless, if the trainees can really follow the concepts, it will definitely be a blessing to them.
Starting from the 'I' in the first quadrant, to the 'dream' in the second quadrant, and then to the 'breaking out of the cocoon' in the third quadrant, each time is a question to the trainees.
Why did you come here, why did you persist until now, and why do you want to continue?
In Ding Ling's opinion, life as a mere trainee at Minghui Entertainment is not difficult.
They attend classes at school during the day, train at the company at night, and record some materials and prepare for some performances on weekends or during winter and summer vacations. Although they are busy, the trainees will have a certain salary, fans' attention, and improvement in their own abilities.
Such an environment can be called a utopia.
After all, there is no elimination system in the current fifth generation.
As long as the trainees want to stay and do not make any principled mistakes, the company will not let them leave.
So after four years, it was like boiling a frog in warm water. Ding Ling watched some people become more and more integrated into the environment, slacking off in their practice, and no enthusiasm was visible. The only thing on their faces was the pride of being sought after by fans.
Compared with their peers, teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen have already achieved unimaginable success. Facing the screams of girls, it is indeed difficult for them not to feel proud.
But in the past four years, the company has shielded them from too many storms. After their debut, they will face a completely different world. What should they do then?
They came up with the Fifth Quadrant plan and proposed these concepts in the hope that the trainees could seize this final time to think about the meaning of everything they have persisted in for so many years.
If you can think of some results, that would be great.
But if you don't think about anything, that's okay too.
The last chance is never something that everyone can seize.
The trainees may not be eliminated, but the same is definitely not true for forming a group.
The music ended, and Wu Hai and Wan Yuanzhou's performances also came to an end. Ding Ling put a check mark on the program list.
"Very good." Standard song selection, standard singing, two standard people, "Next group."
Ding Ling looked at Zhu Xiangming and Qiao Sinian.
Zhu Xiangming and Qiao Sinian are responsible for singing and dancing respectively. In terms of strength, they are both at the forefront of the fifth generation. The song they chose this time, "Twilight", is a song that expresses the feelings of rebirth in desperate situations. Ding Ling is looking forward to it.
As the music started, Qiao Sinian started dancing in front. His thin figure and excellent body control made his dance extremely beautiful. Combined with Zhu Xiangming's emotional singing, it was very touching.
"Okay." Ding Ling ticked the box after the program list and nodded silently in her heart. The performance of these two people lived up to her expectations.
"Qiao Sinian, you need to be more emotional, otherwise it will look too empty on the stage." She suggested.
"Okay." Qiao Sinian nodded, then walked back to his original seat and sat down at Ding Ling's signal.
The next group, Qiu Yuge and Wang Mingzhi walked to the center.
Ding Ling lowered her head to watch the two people's show.
This was the first time Qiu Yuge and Wang Mingzhi worked together as a pair. It was a very novel combination, and Ding Ling was a little curious.
The music started soon, and the song they chose was "On the Road", a song about confusion and determination to move forward. The singing and rapping were half and half respectively, and the parts that the two people were responsible for were very obvious.
Qiu Yuge's RAP is pretty good for the entire fifth generation, and his dancing skills are also okay. Although neither of them are top-notch, Qiu Yuge has top-notch looks, which is enough to make up for it all.
Wang Mingzhi's singing skills are average, and although his dancing skills are not bad, there is still a certain gap between him and the leading dancers Qiao Sinian and Bai You. In terms of appearance, he has the same style as Qiao Sinian. Ding Ling feels that he is not very suitable to be in the same group with Qiu Yuge.
When the song ended, the result was just as Ding Ling had expected.
Under Qiu Yuge's expressiveness, Wang Mingzhi was completely suppressed.
Judging from their dancing skills alone, the two of them are actually on par with each other, but in terms of momentum, their rap is superior to Wang Mingzhi's singing.
As for Qiu Yuge, Ding Ling could only say that he was born to be an idol.
Just standing there, you couldn't take your eyes off him.
"No problem, next group."
After ticking the name on the program list, Ding Ling looked at Huang Xi and Lu Jianian.
Two singing shoulders.
She sighed silently in her heart.
Singing is really something that requires a lot of talent. As a singing leader, Zhu Xiangming has shown his superb talent since he was a child and safely passed the voice change period. Before Lu Yao came, he was the best singing leader in the entire fifth generation. Although other singing leaders are called singing leaders, there is a certain gap between each of them and Zhu Xiangming.
Bai You takes advantage of the tone quality, which can be eye-catching in certain songs.
Wu Hai is quite proficient in technique, but his voice sounded a bit ordinary after his voice changed.
Wanyuanzhou's voice is slightly better, but his skills need to be honed and he also lacks some singing choir.
As for Lu Jianian and Huang Xi, one has a thin voice and lacks breath, and the other is mediocre and has no characteristics.
I can sing, but I can't leave an impression.
Trainees who cannot be remembered by the audience will not be able to debut.
This time, the two of them also chose a song that they could sing alone. After singing, Ding Ling put a check mark behind their programs as usual.
"It's not a big deal. Come on, next group."
RAP by Cang Zizhen and Yin Hongxue.
Very handsome and stylish.
After the song ended, Ding Ling put away her pen and looked at Yin Hongxue: "Did you forget the lyrics just now?"
Yin Hongxue stood upright and nodded: "Yes."
"Go back and practice some more, familiarize yourself with the lyrics. Also, you two don't really interact much, are you just going to stand there on stage like that? Show some emotion, okay?"
Yin Hongxue and Cang Zizhen nodded in response: "Got it."
After giving a few simple comments, Ding Ling waved them back and said, "Okay, next group."
Wu Anyi and Jiang Mu looked at each other and walked over.
