Chapter 25 First Performance 7.0
Fortunately, except for the "Starlight Tonight" group, the rehearsals of the following groups have performed well.
The last group to rehearse was FIRE BLAZE.
This classic boy group performance song was unanimously favored by everyone during the song selection process. Unfortunately, due to Zhu Xiaojun's brilliant move, most of the contestants with excellent dancing skills and interest in this song were recruited into the "Banana" group, causing the contestants who chose songs later to carefully avoid this song.
In the end, "FIRE BLAZE" was left until the end and was chosen by a contestant from Class C.
Since there were not many players left to choose from, the final team members selected were two from Class D and four from Class F, and Weiran was also in this group.
If the group "Banana Over the Atlantic Coast" was not favored by everyone because their song selection was not suitable for stage performance, then the group "FIRE BLAZE" was not favored because the members were too weak.
However, due to the outstanding performance of the "Banana" team before, and hearing that the "FIRE BLAZE" team trained very hard, everyone couldn't help but have new expectations for them - maybe they will be a dark horse?
Xie Qingyu looked at the "FIRE BLAZE" group standing in position on the stage waiting for the music. Wei Ran was standing in the middle as the C position. At this moment, he was constantly adjusting his breathing and was obviously a little nervous.
Xie Qingyu smiled, sincerely hoping that they could get what they wanted.
The music started, with strong drum beats, followed by rapid changes in movement.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that their performance was actually quite good! Judging by the ratings of the "FIRE BLAZE" team players, they had clearly put in a lot of hard work.
Xie Qingyu looked at Wei Ran who was shining on the stage with a smile. He seemed to be burning his life and "sacrificing" everything he had to this stage.
Although this song has too many large-scale group dances and the members' abilities are not very good, resulting in insufficient strength and substandard movements in the later dances, and even mistakes, they still insisted on performing "FIRE BLAZE" completely until the last moment.
Xie Qingyu's eyes were slightly moist, and she applauded and cheered for them!
Although there were mistakes in the performance, the merits outweighed the flaws and the mentors gave the "FIRE BLAZE" group high praise.
With this, the first rehearsal of "Road to Stardom" has concluded. Next up is the makeup rehearsal the afternoon after tomorrow, and the official stage performance two days later. The time in between is for each group to make final adjustments.
——
Su Mei is a small up-loader who has been participating in major talent shows at home and abroad for many years.
Her videos are known for their unique style and sharp comments, and they often become popular, but because of this, she is often insulted by fans of the contestants she is criticized for.
However, she doesn't care. Because she comments on talent shows not for the so-called traffic, but purely because she loves watching and following them.
Moreover, she did not complain at the beginning, and was even a sincere fan girl.
She fell into the pit when the first talent show was launched in the domestic entertainment industry.
At that time, she spent a lot of money just to help her favorite trainee debut.
As a result, shortly after the trainee debuted, it was revealed that she was a ladybug, and her first house collapsed.
A little girl's heart was broken so easily, she immediately swore with tears in her eyes that she would never participate in a talent show with real feelings again﹏
However, not long after, another talent show came out. She didn't want to watch it, but she always saw some news about it while surfing the Internet every day, and her hand unconsciously clicked on it.
So, she fell into the trap of a trainee again, and this time she fell deeper into it. Because the trainee's ranking was dangerous, she personally created a fan group, urged for data, and lived like a pyramid scheme leader every day.
Finally, the trainee secured her spot to debut and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, on the very night of her debut, she was hammered and the entire group collapsed.
Her heart was completely broken.
Well, if it doesn’t work in China, it should be okay for her to follow foreign talent shows, right?
This time she was chasing a very popular contestant, which didn't put much effort into it. She just voted and did some data every day, and her debut was quite easy.
This time she was cautious and looked up the contestant's ancestors online. After confirming that there was no problem, she pursued him with peace of mind.
My brother’s new album, buy it!
Support my brother’s new stage!
My brother’s new sister-in-law… huh?
Su Mei had a big question mark in her small head and was a little confused. Because she was a fan of strong idols, she was not too affected by her idol's love life. She was worried that his stage performance would be affected by having a sister-in-law.
Just when she was extremely conflicted and repeatedly watched the stage video, trying to convince herself that "brother should be able to control himself."
Unexpectedly, the next day he publicly expressed his love for his sister-in-law in an interview and said that he was considering getting married.
"What a big love brain!"
Looking at his expression on the show, Su Mei was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to rush in and punch him.
"Get the hell away, bastard! It's unfortunate for our teammates to run into him!"
However, the matter was not over yet. His sister-in-law actually made rh remarks publicly on the Internet, and he even dared to like it below. Su Mei could not stand it anymore.
She could ignore the love-brained guy, but rh? Get lost! This ungrateful Korean bastard! He really thinks he's such a piece of cake, having forgotten how he got into it in the first place. He wants both, how dare he!
So, the third trainee she pursued collapsed completely, like a bolt from the blue!
Because of the three unpleasant experiences of chasing shows, Su Mei has completely turned evil!
I still watch talent shows, every one of them, but I no longer feel any real emotion.
From then on, her video style changed from "daily life of a star-chasing girl" to "talent show complaints conference".
She began to use sharp language and a unique perspective to ruthlessly analyze the performance of each contestant, and even mercilessly exposed the routines and shady dealings of the program team.
Her fans love her "venomous tongue" and left messages in the comment section:
"Sister Meimei, you are my internet mouthpiece!"
“Every time I watch your video, I feel like I’ve saved a hundred million!”
"Sister Meimei, please curse more, I love to hear it!"
Su Mei looked at these comments, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She finally found her own way to follow the show.
No longer be heartbroken by anyone’s reputation collapse, but use complaints and ridicule to let yourself and the audience laugh at the absurdity and reality of the talent show!
In fact, when "Road to a Star" was still in the audition stage, Su Mei was recommended to the show by fans in the comment section.
But at that time, she was passionately speaking on another talent show that was about to end, and she didn't spend much time to understand "Road to Star Dreams".
Besides, Grape TV? It doesn't sound like a legitimate talent show platform! She thought to herself, wait until she's finished blasting this capitalist's heart-sucking, lung-smoking idiot before she says anything more!
The next time I heard about "Road to Stardom" was when its first episode was aired.
The overwhelming number of trending searches and reposts by marketing accounts made Su Mei a little surprised: "When did Grape TV become so rich?" With a skeptical attitude, she clicked on the trending search.
The first stage to refresh was the one featuring the contestants from Tianguang Entertainment. Su Mei nodded. The quality of the contestants Tianguang Entertainment had sent this time was quite good. As expected of a major talent show company, they had a solid foundation.
The second stage was Wen Yan's. Su Mei could tell at a glance that this contestant had trained in Corea. He had decent skills, but his whole body carried the "high-end, high-quality, factory-quality" air of Corea production. While the performance was exquisite, it lacked soul and failed to touch the heart.
There are so many trainees in Coria that a complete industry chain has even been formed.
They train interns in a "factory-style" manner to quickly launch their "products".
But such training has a fatal flaw: although the trainees are generally strong, repetitive training day after day will erase their personal characteristics.
Strong abilities may attract fans’ attention, but it is their personal charm that can retain fans.
Doesn't Corea know about the flaws in their training system? Of course he does. But this is also a key consideration in their selection of trainees for debut.
Because they have a large number of trainees in their country, they can be called national trainees.
Only trainees who successfully retain their personal characteristics under the heavy pressure of this "factory-style" training are qualified "products" and can obtain the hard-earned debut spot among the many Korea trainees.
Otherwise, they will only be treated as "fast-moving consumer goods" and sent to talent shows on major platforms.
This is the training model for trainees from their own country, not to mention trainees from other countries who are sent for special training.
Su Mei flipped through a few stages and thought they were all pretty good.
To be honest, the more she watches talent shows in the past two years, the less interesting they are. Each year the contestants are getting better and worse.
It can be seen that Grape TV really wants to make a living this time.
She skated from one stage to another, and suddenly, she came across the stage of a contestant named Xie Qingyu.
Well, the video has a good number of views, so he should be a popular contestant.
Original? Su Mei was always more tolerant of original contestants and was willing to give them a chance.
She placed her phone on its holder and closed her eyes.
As soon as the voice sounded, her heart beat heavily
The voice was soothing and gentle, but she could sense a hint of melancholy and sadness, making her want to smooth his slightly furrowed brow.
Su Mei couldn't calm down for a long time until the song ended.
She quickly exited Weibo, downloaded Grape TV, and opened "Road to Stardom."
I quickly scrolled through the progress bar, and he wasn't in the first half of the first episode. Then I clicked on the second half, and when the progress bar was halfway, I released my hand, and it was just his back as he walked onto the stage.
She watched the stage again, and the extra rap gave Su Mei goosebumps all over her body.
She watched all his performances over and over again, and searched for the original song "Monsoon" that he sang during the audition, which the mentors mentioned.
Unfortunately, the production team hasn't released it yet, keeping it under wraps. Su Mei couldn't help but complain: "Bad review!"
Unable to find "Monsoon", Su Mei started looking for his shots one by one from the first episode.
Su Mei didn't lie down until two in the morning. She closed her eyes, and Xie Qingyu's figure was still in her mind.
She knew she was finished again...
Tonight is the second half of the second period. Su Mei lay down on the bed early, turned off the lights and turned on the projector.
Watching Xie Qingyu is fun only when you watch it on a big screen!
Grape TV premiered on Saturday, releasing both episodes of the first stage together. Starting this week, the second half of the show will air on Saturdays and Sundays. Because Xie Qingyu was there to lure her in, Su Mei didn't bother with the cunning and rotten Grape.
When Su Mei saw Xie Qingyu coming up on stage for another evaluation, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
When the tutor Qu Qinghuan was about to announce the re-evaluation results, she stared at Qu Qinghuan's mouth and held her breath.
When she heard Qu Qinghuan read out Xie Qingyu's name, endless joy surged in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Qu Qinghuan changed the subject and began to ask Xie Qingyu again, which made her heart skip a beat again.
Seeing that Xie Qingyu was not affected at all and asked back, Su Mei's mouth curled up unconsciously: "You are worthy of being my treasure, you have the demeanor of a great general!"
Finally, Qu Qinghuan confirmed that Xie Qingyu's re-rating level would remain A.
Seeing the other contestants' backstage interviews and votes praising Xie Qingyu for the center position of the theme song, she listened again, her heart filled with pride: "Haha, my Qingyu baby is so outstanding, sprinkle water!"
At the end of the next episode, the theme song MV will be released and announced to be officially launched on major music platforms.
Su Mei was so attracted by Xie Qingyu's face that she turned up her nose and said, "Then let's admire Qingyubao's magnificent beauty once more~"
Finally, this week’s online voting rankings and the audience-selected S-level rankings will be announced, which is also a way for the program team to encourage votes.
Currently, Xie Qingyu is ranked third in the total vote list, but the votes behind him are very tight.
The S-level was once again won by Gu Yan this week. There was no other way around it. The allocation of resources to the S-level last week did boost his data in all aspects.
Click in to see the rankings below. Xie Qingyu is in second place, and his star value is very close to Gu Qiong. I don’t know why, but the overall feeling is that Xie Qingyu is very popular among rich older sisters. As long as the data on spending money is generally quite high, attracting fans is also a mystery!
The screen showed that the deadline for the first vote was 24:00 on July 7.
Su Mei calculated that it was the night when the first performance ended.
She had previously asked a friend for tickets for the first performance of "Road to Stardom," but her friend said with embarrassment, "Because the show is so popular, tickets are hard to find. I can only try my best."
So she asked the scalpers in her circle of friends, but they only had a few tickets and were holding on to them tightly. They didn't quote a price and wanted to drive up the price.
Su Mei sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed: "Is it possible that Yigong has no way to see Qingyubao?"
She opened the Zizi Station and wanted to see if she could search again using the up master's account.
Unexpectedly, when she was browsing her private messages, she suddenly saw a message that made her heart beat faster - she sat up suddenly, clicked it, and read it over and over again.
"Dear Raspberry Pi teacher, we sincerely invite you to attend the first performance of 'Dream Dance Road' as a special guest. Time... Please confirm your intention to attend before 8 pm on July 6th so that we can reserve a seat for you!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Su Mei almost jumped out of bed with excitement. Other talent shows would send her invitations early for their performances because, despite her complaints about the shows, she did have traffic.
But this time, there has been no news about "Road to Star Dreams" so far, and she thought the show was too popular and looked down upon her low traffic. Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly!
She was so excited that her hands were shaking as she replied to the message. When she clicked to confirm her attendance, she rolled around on her bed like crazy: "I! Can! Go! To! The! First! Public! I! Can! See! Qing Yubao! I! Love! 'Road to the Stars'! I! Love! Grape TV! I'm so happy! Aa ...
As she rolled over, she couldn't help laughing. At this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the pure and happy days when she first followed the talent show.
Although she once vowed not to fall in love again, the appearance of Xie Qingyu seemed to make her regain the long-lost heartbeat.
