Chapter 94 Chapter 94 The beginning of the first chapter
The practice in the practice room continued until three hours later, when Fan Min's stomach growled with hunger and she finally saw Lu Yao stop.
"Go have breakfast."
——Finally, like the sound of nature, the moment the sound rang out, not only did Zong An and the other two collapse to the bottom exhausted, but Fan Mincai and the cameraman also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been jumping for three hours. Is this still a human being?
Aren’t you tired?
They were tired of sitting and filming.
Doesn’t Lu Yao take a break after recording for a while? Why doesn’t he take a break today?
Fan Mincai was complaining in his heart, while Lu Yao and the other three had already left the practice room very quickly and rushed to the cafeteria.
Everyone is up at this time and gathers in the cafeteria to have breakfast.
Bai You was the first to see Lu Yao's team arriving late.
"Why did you come just now?" He asked Lu Yao, and then he noticed that Cong An and the other two behind Lu Yao were not in a good condition.
She was without makeup, looked listless and exhausted, not like she had just woken up, but rather like she hadn't slept all night.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Sinian added to Bai You's question.
Cong An and the other two immediately laid down on the table of Bai You and the others, and began to groan, "Do you know what time we got up to practice?"
"Five o'clock! Five o'clock!"
Cong An stretched out a hand fiercely, his fingers full of resentment.
Bai You took out his phone and checked the time: "So you've been practicing for three hours now?"
Lu Jianian said weakly: "Yeah, three hours, no rest."
Bai You suddenly realized: "No wonder your hair is wet, it's sweat."
Just now he thought that the water from washing his face had wet his hair.
Wang Mingzhi didn't have the strength to speak at all. He sat on the chair and didn't want to move at all.
Cong An said quietly: "Lu Yao is not a human being at all."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Bai You was puzzled. "Why would Lu Yao ask you to get up at five o'clock to practice?"
Although Lu Yao got up early, he never paid attention to what time others got up.
He practices hard himself, but he doesn't ask others to do the same.
Asking others to get up early to practice together is not like Lu Yao's style.
Cong An was silent.
Lu Jianian also covered his face.
Wang Mingzhi said, "That's what we asked for. We said we hope he can lead us to first place."
"Is that so?" Cangzi really understood and said silently: "Then there is nothing we can do."
Since you all asked for it, Lu Yao will of course agree out of understanding.
You have to walk the path you choose crying.
"But can he lead you to first place?" Cang Zizhen was a little skeptical.
It is true that Lu Yao is very strong, but being strong alone and leading others along are two completely different concepts.
Sitting back in his chair, he said, "Of course!"
He is completely sure of Lu Yao!
Lu Jianian then said, "If Lu Yao can't do it, who else can?"
Even with Lu Yao's help, if they couldn't get first place, then they would never have been able to get first place in the entire show.
Wang Mingzhi was not so sure: "Who knows?"
Hearing Wang Mingzhi's doubts, Cong An was unhappy, "If you didn't believe it, why did you choose Lu Yao?"
He stretched out his fingers and counted them carefully: "Look, didn't Bai You say that their collaborative performance at that time was entirely Lu Yao's with every little detail? Didn't Qiao Sinian also say that Lu Yao dances very well? Didn't Yin Hongxue also say that Lu Yao has been practicing expression management and he learned a lot from him? And last time we were in the same team with Lu Yao, our group's songs were completely produced by Lu Yao."
Each of these things is a testament to Lu Yao's strength.
And it's not just his own strength, but what he can bring to others.
Cong An waved his hand and pointed at everyone at the table. "Just ask them if what I said is right."
Cang Zizhen awkwardly pressed Cong'an's hand. He knew Cong'an believed in Lu Yao, but how was Cong'an different from those fanatical fans now? Could he not tolerate any questioning?
Cong An stood in front of Wang Mingzhi and made a final emphasis: "As long as you do what Lu Yao said, you will definitely win in the end. If you don't win, it means you didn't do it."
Wang Mingzhi smiled silently.
Bai You nodded in agreement.
As the person who has trained with Lu Yao the most, he has long been aware of Lu Yao's strength.
It’s not about his own singing and dancing skills, but that he can accurately see where others are lacking and offer targeted suggestions.
This is truly an extremely powerful ability.
When he first told others about it, they didn't believe him. It was not until the concerts in the past few months were over and he had more time to practice with Lu Yao that they believed him. Later, Zhu Xiangming bravely went to Lu Yao for advice, and Lu Yao corrected several of Zhu Xiangming's movements. When Zhu Xiangming danced that part again, he looked much better.
Bai You said to the others at the time, with a look of disappointment on his face: "Lu Yao is really good, why don't you believe it?"
No one else said anything, only Zhu Xiangming nodded in agreement.
So now seeing so many people voting for Lu Yao, Bai You was very happy.
"Even though you have Lu Yao, our team is not easy to defeat!" Bai You was full of fighting spirit, "Let's see who will win in the end!"
Bai You's sudden declaration of war caught Cang Zizhen and Qiao Sinian off guard. Only Wan Yuanzhou was inflamed. He swallowed his food, patted his chest, pointed at Cong An, and made a provocative gesture. Cong An immediately stood up and accepted the declaration of war with great enthusiasm: "We will definitely win!"
Lu Jianian and Wang Mingzhi smiled tiredly, not really wanting to join this competition that had come out of nowhere.
Cong An was full of fighting spirit and took the lead, urging Lu Jianian and Wang Mingzhi to finish breakfast quickly and return to the practice room again.
Lu Yao was already waiting for them.
Warm up your voice, practice your voice, and then start singing practice.
Cong An and Lu Jianian once again witnessed Lu Yao's vocal strength.
Wang Mingzhi had only heard other people mention before that in addition to Lu Yao's vocal conditions, he also had a very amazing ability, which was his singing ability.
A song may have the same lyrics and music, but when sung by different people, it will give different feelings.
Pronunciation, pauses, breathing, every subtle difference will bring huge changes to the final presentation of the song, and Lu Yao can always find the best singing style among different singing methods.
Lu Jianian once watched Lu Yao practice.
After the lyrics and music for the last quadrant assessment were out, one day he got out of school early and came to the company early, and saw Lu Yao singing alone in the practice room.
He kept singing the same sentence, but made different adjustments each time, such as the emphasis, pauses, and connections between words... Many times, Lu Jianian could not hear the difference between the previous and the next time, but when Lu Yao finished recording the last time with his mobile phone, he suddenly realized that even though he had listened to it so many times before, he was still attracted when Lu Yao sang the last time.
It sounds nice, very nice.
It sounds good and makes people feel questionable.
So he took their new song to ask Lu Yao how he should sing it. Lu Yao helped him adjust it word by word, just like he had just practiced.
During the rehearsal, the teacher praised him highly.
Said it was the song he performed best.
But Lu Jianian knew that this was not his progress.
It's just that someone covered him with his own halo, so he was able to get a little bit of the light.
Lu Jianian felt nostalgic, but Wang Mingzhi was shocked by Lu Yao's practice at this moment.
What he usually heard were the songs that Lu Yao performed directly after practicing. This was the first time he saw Lu Yao practicing.
Take them with you and revise it word by word.
No, isn't that how the song goes?
"Pause between these two."
Lu Yao pointed at the lyrics, and Lu Jianian sang it again according to Lu Yao's instructions, this time adding a pause between the two words Lu Yao said.
Wang Mingzhi was even more surprised.
The same sentence, but completely different.
It sounds a lot better.
Fan Mincai watched the entire process with the cameraman and was secretly shocked.
He was keenly aware of something.
Lu Yao has creative ability.
He had watched Lu Yao’s performance before, and his singing was indeed very nice, but at that time he thought it was because Lu Yao was a good learner.
After all, Lu Yao was only fourteen years old. At this age, everything he could show was taught by his teacher. So his beautiful singing was naturally inseparable from his teacher's guidance.
But when the teacher was teaching this song in class yesterday, Fan Min watched the whole process from the side.
What Lu Yao is singing now is not exactly the same as what the teacher taught him yesterday, but there is a big difference.
As for the songs sung by the other students, it was obvious that they were no different from what they learned yesterday.
Only Lu Yao made changes.
And it's a change for the better.
Lu Yao did not just learn the song. He also thought about it in his own way after learning it. At the same time, he could adjust other people's singing styles according to their different vocal characteristics to make them sing better.
Fan Mincai was really surprised this time.
Singer, singer, a singer who can only sing and a singer with creative ability are two completely different concepts.
In Fan Mincai's view, the former are like puppets. Without excellent lyrics and music, no matter how well they sing, they cannot become top-notch. Moreover, once they lose the support of excellent lyrics and music, they will quickly become mediocre.
Because they can't produce good songs on their own.
But if a singer not only sings well but also has the ability to create, or not the ability to create but the ability to appreciate songs, it can greatly improve their level and prolong their career.
So why do idol singers have such a short blooming period? It’s because most idol singers lack creative ability, and even lack sufficient appreciation for music. They can only buy other people’s songs and sing them themselves. Furthermore, due to their lack of appreciation for music, they can’t buy good enough songs, resulting in their works being mediocre. Without the good looks that idols are so proud of, their songs naturally fall out of favor.
The same goes for idols.
But Lu Yao actually has the ability to appreciate and create.
In addition to having excellent vocal conditions, he also has the ability to appreciate songs!
Fan Mincai was speechless.
He felt like he saw the entertainment industry's Ziwei Star.
It would be unjust if Lu Yao was not famous.
Minghui Entertainment is incredibly lucky.
The vocal practice lasted for a while. After the throat was tired, Lu Yao would start to lead everyone in dancing practice.
After jumping from the complete familiar movements to the point where everyone could perform them in unison with their eyes closed and it became muscle memory, they began to adjust the details, from the force point of each movement, to the angle of raising the hand when waving, to the direction of stopping when falling. Lu Yao pointed out the parts that Fan Min could not see and expressed his opinions.
Without any explanation, they just asked Cong'an and the other two to do it.
There were many movements that seemed unnecessary to Fan Mincai. He could not see any other reason except to increase the difficulty of the dance and make their practice more tiring. But from what An and the other two had said when they were vying for the captaincy, they were obedient, very obedient, even to the extent that Fan Mincai felt it was unnecessary.
For the entire morning, except for a short ten-minute break, Lu Yao either sang or danced with the other three people. Fan Mincai was exhausted just from watching.
Not to mention Cong An and the other three.
I ran to the cafeteria exhausted, thinking that the delicious food would soothe my soul, but I never expected to hear bad news.
"You need to lose weight."
? ?
What?
Cong An couldn't believe his ears.
Lu Jianian also raised his head.
Wang Mingzhi didn't react at all.
"You don't look good on stage in your current state. You need to lose some weight."
Ah... is this so detailed? To prepare for the stage to this extent?
But they had chosen their own captain and they had said they would be obedient, so the three of them still followed Lu Yao's request and only took a little bit of food each.
When the food was brought to the table, the others were surprised to see their plates.
Wanyuanzhou: "Is this all you guys are eating?"
Cong An smiled bitterly: "Lose weight."
Wanyuanzhou: "Ah? Why? You guys are not fat."
"Lu Yao said so."
Wanyuanzhou stopped talking.
Then, within just one day, all the trainees knew that Cong and An were losing weight.
I also learned that they started practicing at five in the morning and returned to the dormitory to rest at eleven in the evening.
Is this still a human being?
Wouldn't it tire people to death?
Luo Wenbo shook his head and sighed, Cong An really jumped into the fire pit.
It’s fine if Lu Yao just rolls it up by himself, but why are Cong An and the other two so desperate that they have to join in the rolling as well?
*
The trainees welcomed the first public performance amidst such a busy practice schedule.
Tickets for the first public performance will not be sold to the public, nor will tickets be drawn from fans. Instead, Minghui Entertainment will invite industry media to attend, totaling one hundred people.
Fans' voting contains too much subjectivity, while media voting is relatively better.
Zhu Nana is the media who got the media ticket.
She works for an entertainment self-media and is one of its contributors. Their accounts on major platforms combined have millions of fans, which is quite large, so she received an invitation from Minghui Entertainment.
Without hesitation, she decided to come immediately.
They can get first-hand information about the debut battle of the training system. If they don’t come, they will be unworthy of being a self-media of such a large scale.
It’s strange to say, the fifth generation’s debut variety show recording has been going on for more than half a month, but there has been no news on the Internet. Sometimes some ambiguous remarks appear, but they are soon revealed to be fictitious.
There is not a single statement that is true.
It's really strange.
It would be fine if the program team kept it a secret, but they don't even have any "connections".
Zhu Nana has been following the fifth-generation debut battle for quite some time, and the more she watches, the more curious she becomes.
The confidentiality is kept so well, what secret is hidden?
With this feeling, Zhu Nana walked into the performance venue.
The place was very small. Apart from the built stage, there were only a few hundred seats opposite the stage. The distance between the two was very close, so close that Zhu Nana could clearly see the facial features of the staff on the stage.
She withdrew her gaze and looked around.
The more than one hundred seats were arranged in a staircase shape, and quite a few people had already arrived. She looked around and saw that everyone was adjusting their filming equipment, waiting for the performance to officially begin.
As more and more people came, the staff on the stage left. Not long after, the lights dimmed and Zhu Nana sat up straight, knowing that the performance was about to officially begin.
The show director walked onto the stage with a microphone and began to explain the precautions, while reiterating the principle of confidentiality.
Any stage photos and video footage taken cannot be posted on the Internet and can only be posted on the day the program goes online.
Text repos are not included.
It can be seen that Minghui Entertainment really cares about confidentiality.
Along with the invitation, Zhu Nana also received a confidentiality agreement.
Only those who agree to Minghui Entertainment's confidentiality clause can participate in the performance.
However, confidentiality is indeed a necessity for the recording of major programs. After all, the audience is not allowed to bring any electronic devices to the recording of many other programs. Now Minghui Entertainment allows them to bring electronic devices, but only requires confidentiality. The conditions can be considered relaxed.
So when Zhu Nana looked around at this moment, she could see the set up tripods and countless raised cameras.
It doesn't feel like they are recording a show, but more like they are attending a concert, and they have all become fans of Minghui Entertainment.
After the show director finished speaking, the performance officially began. He left the stage, and with the countdown, the stage went dark, and the big screen lit up with the program information.
Lila
Performers: Qiu Yuge, Luo Wenbai, Huang Xi, Wu Anyi.
Zhu Nana was cheered up, she didn't expect that the first person to come on stage would be Qiu Yuge.
After so many years of working on entertainment accounts, the fifth generation is one of the topics they must pay attention to, and when paying attention to the fifth generation, Qiu Yuge is indispensable.
Not only in the eyes of fans, Qiu Yuge is undoubtedly the core of the fifth generation, but in the eyes of practitioners like them, Qiu Yuge is no less inferior.
Qiu Yuge not only has outstanding looks that rank among the best in the entire entertainment industry, but also has above-average singing and dancing skills. At the same time, as a person born in a training system, he grew up under the camera and the eyes of fans, which greatly reduced the risk of collapse.
Handsome, capable, and safe.
As long as he continues along this path, Qiu Yuge may not become a huge star, but at least he will be well-known.
It can be said that with him in the Five Dynasties, the Five Dynasties were guaranteed not to be unknown.
As to whether they can become a top group like the third generation, or be slightly inferior and become a popular group like the second generation, it depends on the other teammates and Minghui Entertainment's subsequent operations.
At the same time, the most important thing is luck.
While I was thinking, a shadowy figure appeared on the stage, accompanied by the sound of footsteps. After the people on the stage stopped completely, the music started.
The lights came on, and the teenagers with stage poses appeared in the camera.
Zhu Nana saw Qiu Yuge at a glance.
So eye-catching.
This was the second time she met Qiu Yuge.
The last time I saw her was two years ago, when she went to interview the entire fifth generation and spent several hours with this group of children.
Now two years have passed, and the adolescent children have grown rapidly and have changed a lot from what Zhu Nana remembered.
Qiu Yuge, who once had baby fat on his face, has now completely shed his childish appearance on the stage. Even from a distance, one can still clearly see his sharp edges, colorful facial features, and firm eyes, making it impossible to take your eyes off him.
Handsome, very handsome.
It is not difficult to imagine that with Qiu Yuge's bone structure, he will become more and more handsome in the future.
He is still far from reaching his peak now.
Zhu Nana is looking forward to it.
As soon as the song ended, she immediately checked the footage she had taken.
There is no out-of-focus, no shaking, and the four people on the stage are always in the camera, which is very good.
The show director began to signal everyone to vote.
Zhu Nana cast her vote without much hesitation.
This stage is definitely above the passing line.
Although it is a hit song by a first-generation group and there are other groups that have done this before, Qiu Yuge and the others also performed it in their own style.
There were no obvious mistakes and he was still quite handsome. In Zhu Nana's eyes, he was at an acceptable level.
Not long after Qiu Yuge's group left the stage, information about the second group's performance appeared on the big screen.
Night
Performers: Lu Yao, Cong An, Wang Mingzhi, Lü Jianian.
Zhu Nana immediately came back to her senses.
Qiu Yuge and Lu Yao appeared one after another?
How was the order of the performances determined?
If Qiu Yuge was the undisputed focus during the four-year operation of the fifth generation, then after the Quadrant Project began, the focus of the fifth generation began to shift.
In Zhu Nana's opinion, until the recording of his debut variety show, Lu Yao had already shown signs of catching up.
She really wouldn't have dared to think about such a thing half a year ago.
Who would have thought that in just half a year, someone would be able to break Qiu Yuge's monopoly and carve out a niche for himself in the Fifth Generation.
But that's the way it is.
When Lu Yao was first revealed in the material, Zhu Nana felt that this person would become popular because Lu Yao's appearance was really outstanding.
Although there is never a shortage of good-looking people in the entertainment industry, those who are good-looking enough will still receive preferential treatment in the entertainment industry.
In subsequent concerts, Lu Yao further demonstrated his outstanding talent and strength.
He is not less good-looking than Qiu Yuge, and his ability is even better than Qiu Yuge.
Although it is cruel to make such a comparison, Zhu Nana can't think of any reason why Lu Yao would not be popular.
Not to mention that after the concert, in addition to his strength, he also showed his personal charm that is unique from others.
Whether it was his top academic performance in the grade or his status as a professional chess player, these added layers of glory to his trainee status.
The audience of the development system already consists of a large group of little girls, and these little girls have a filter for academic performance. So after paying attention to Lu Yao's grades, Zhu Nana felt that Lu Yao would sooner or later become the focus of the fifth generation, and now he just lacked time.
