Chapter 84 Second Performance 14.0
The production team's control of rehearsal time is incredibly precise. The last contestant had just taken his seat in the waiting area.
The lights on the stage came on on time, and it seemed as if even the air vibrated for a moment.
Qu Qinghuan appeared on stage wearing 15-centimeter high heels, and every step she took was full of momentum.
She flashed a perfect smile to the camera, but was complaining in her heart: Isn't it said that the average height of male artists in the entertainment industry is 169cm?
Why are the students in her class so tall and thin? They must have grown up eating chemical fertilizers!
I hadn't noticed it before, but yesterday I watched the first public performance on a whim and suddenly realized that she was so short in the camera!!!
God knows she is 1.666 meters tall naked, which is definitely not considered short in the circle, okay?
Thinking of the comments about "Qu Qinghuan lying about her height" that she had seen at that time, Qu Qinghuan straightened her back without leaving any trace.
For this second public performance, she specially customized this pair of diamond-studded combat boots overnight, vowing to regain the dignity that belongs to her naked height of 166.6cm!
"Welcome to the second rehearsal of 'Road to Stardom'!"
After introducing the rules and procedures of the performance according to the hand cards, the mentors will be introduced.
When the mentor lineup was introduced, the waiting area suddenly became lively. I wonder if it was because of the competition between the two public performances.
The four mentors' looks today are more exaggerated than each other, as if they are going to participate in the finale of fashion week.
"Wow, Big Sister is so full of energy today, Li Zhiqiu is so awesome! I'm cheering for Teacher Li!!!"
The contestants in the vocal group took the lead in launching an innate offensive, determined to match the voice of their team leader and mentor and not lose points.
How could the other groups be suppressed right at the start? They all began to cheer for their boss.
"Teacher Su Jin is so beautiful! Teacher Su is great! I'm banging my head against the wall for Teacher Su!!!"
"Creative genius Lu Chuan, today you are the little prince of the fashion world, look stunning, okay???"
"MC teacher, you are the best. Who else would dare to wear a plastic bag on stage? You are my god!!!"
After the contestant from the rap group finished his speech, the atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet. Was he praising or criticizing MC teacher?
It turns out that rappers’ thought processes are incomparable to normal people!
At this moment, the pre-match threats on the stage also began.
Wei Qianze next to him secretly avoided Li Zhiqiu's double-door "pointed refrigerator" and continued to eat melon with interest.
It's really interesting to see them talking sweet words and harboring ulterior motives. Haha, it's more enjoyable than watching stupid skits!
In short, except for MCray, who is outspoken and directly raps to increase his power.
The other three are all masters of "Yin Yang Studies", using all kinds of tricks and moves just to be the first to take the city.
The contestants from their respective evaluation groups in the waiting area were also cheering on the tough words spoken by the mentors who were in charge of leading their groups.
He dared to respond to anything, not even afraid of hurting his back with his loud voice! His voice was almost reaching the stage.
"Teacher Li is right. Our vocal group's strength swept the entire audience!"
"Great job! That's exactly what Teacher Lu meant. The other groups are utterly clueless when it comes to creative writing, but it's just a piece of cake!!!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha, Teacher Su, go, go, go, the dance team is the best!"
"MC instructor, you're still the best. Even if you say something tough, you'll still show off our rap group's professionalism. We'll definitely take first place!"
Suddenly, the topic of the "serious" verbal attack was diverted by Lu Chuan.
He wanted to confuse the dance instructor Su Jin in this segment and let the audience know this person's "true face".
Su Jin snorted coldly, understanding his plan at a glance, and immediately said, "Contestant Xie Qingyu is very happy with our dance~ So there's no need for Teacher Lu to worry about it~"
Why is it so obscure? If you want to say something, just say it openly. You're afraid that people will pronounce her name, Su Jin, backwards!
Xie Qingyu was helpless when he heard his name suddenly being called out. It was a familiar scene that happened again.
He now understood what Mr. Lu meant. He could only say that it was just not meant to be.
So - the official stage of the second public performance is about to begin, so can we just let this part be over quickly?
(Lu Chuan: I can’t get through it!!!!!!)
The other contestants around them also began to exchange glances secretly, they had also heard about the feud between these two mentors.
Seeing that they couldn't get over the harsh words segment, the mentors' anger was revealed.
In the control room, the director slapped his thigh anxiously: "We must pay attention during the official recording of this scene!"
He immediately picked up the intercom and called Qu Qinghuan's headset to remind her to step forward and stop the escalation of the war.
I secretly calculated in my mind that the amount of this step must be greatly reduced later.
The audience is here to watch the contestants' stage performances, and their attention cannot be distracted by the mentors' grudges. The director dare not underestimate the flower grower's gossipy talent and skills.
Qu Qinghuan finally managed to get the mentors to take their seats despite Wei Qianze's exaggeration and instigation.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and thought angrily:
These guys should be allowed to try to be the initiator. They are still a worry even at their age!
After the mentors appeared and took their seats, the curtain of the official stage was slowly opened.
The current order of performance is still based on the arrangement of the first rehearsal.
The Vocal, Dance, Rap and Creative groups each sent out a team to perform in turns. As for which of the three teams would go first and which would go later, it was arranged by the instructors themselves.
Su Jin arranged for Xie Qingyu's "Addiction" team to be the last to perform in the dance group.
What was even more coincidental was that when they were lucky enough to take turns, the last team in their dance group was the last to perform in the whole show.
Su Jin looked at the order of appearance and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - this is simply God's will!
The first to appear was the dance group's "Funny Friends Battle" team.
It was the "divine song" that Xie Qingyu commented on when playing the song before, saying it was similar to the "Banana" group in the first public performance, and even slightly better!
Xie Qingyu looked at the familiar figure on the stage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ever since he learned that Zhu Xiaojun had joined this group, he knew that it was no coincidence that he chose "Banana Over the Atlantic Coast" for the first public performance.
I don't know what Zhu Xiaojun is thinking. Why does he love this style so deeply and have a special liking for it?
The key point is that Zhu Xiaojun himself is a burly man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, which is totally incompatible with this cute and funny style.
This song especially has more cute elements added to it. If it is performed by a contestant with a cute look, it will have an unexpected effect, but Zhu Xiaojun...
Xie Qingyu just watched him wearing colorful performance costumes and making awkward expressions on the stage.
I silently looked away - forget it, let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others!
Next, Xie Qingyu focused on several performances that interested him.
Li Zhiqiu arranged the Vocal group's "Resurrection" team to be at the front, a decision that was both surprising and expected.
While the track itself is excellent, the team members’ abilities are definitely lacking.
No matter how good the music is, it will be useless if the performance cannot support it. The performance in the first two rehearsals was not satisfactory.
I don't know this time...
Xie Qingyu saw Sun Lele's efforts and was so shameless just to learn from several great vocalists.
Xie Qingyu also shared some personal tips with him, but to little avail.
When the performance reached the highest note, Sun Lele's neck and face turned red, and he finally sang the complete line "Look at me reshape the outline of my destiny————".
Even though it was hard to sing, at least I succeeded.
The contestants in the waiting area all gave him applause out of courtesy - no matter what, they have made progress, right?
Xie Qingyu smiled lightly and followed the applause of the contestants around him.
Sun Lele, the leading dancer, was tortured so much by the vocal group this time that she will probably be afraid of vocals next time and will not dare to challenge areas that she is not good at easily.
Perhaps the mentors also felt that the pieces that Xie Qingyu was interested in were of good quality.
The song "Spring Memories" didn't appear until the middle and late stages of the rehearsal.
The only two people in this team that Xie Qingyu was familiar with were You Jinzhao and Wei Ran.
Speaking of Wei Ran, he is really the epitome of a hard-working player, especially during the preparation period for the performance.
Xie Qingyu basically never sees him, perhaps because of Xie Qingyu's busy and intensive training and advertising shoots, but who can deny Wei Ran's efforts?
As the soft and lively piano prelude slowly sounded, it brushed through everyone's heart like a spring breeze, and the contestants who had originally gathered on the stage dispersed.
"The spring sunshine on the playground is scattered into lines of poetry
The way you ran caught my eye."
The person who sang at the beginning of "Spring Memories" was Wei Ran. It might be because he had built up his courage through the previous performances, or it might be because this song really suits him.
Although my body was still a little tense, it surprisingly fit the theme of youth and innocence of this song.
At least Xie Qingyu was immersed in the role, and the improvement was so great that he was reborn. The timid figure on the first stage had disappeared.
There are still many viewers who like this type of show. If Wei Ran can keep improving with every performance, maybe the program team will give him a "growth line" script.
At this time, the string music is interwoven in at the right time, and with the soothing rhythm, it further renders the delicate emotions in the song.
You Jinzhao's voice switches smoothly between true and false voices, and the clever use of harmony with teammates makes the whole song full of layers.
When singing the chorus part "Weaving a poem of love in the memories of spring", the emotions in the song become stronger.
There is a fantasy of beautiful love, but also a cautiousness that dares not touch the extravagant hope.
Some of the contestants in the waiting area nodded slightly, while others closed their eyes, immersed in the moving melody and lyrics.
Until the end, the singing gradually faded, carrying with it an indescribable sense of melancholy and reluctance.
"Perhaps time will flow and memories will turn yellow
But you in spring are the most beautiful line of poetry."
The moment the music ended, the contestants in the waiting area came back to their senses and eagerly talked with the people next to them about this audio-visual feast.
Indeed, with the addition of overall stage design and makeup, the stage effects will have a qualitative leap.
But this is the first time so far that a team has undergone such obvious changes, so you can imagine the importance of makeup rehearsal.
Xie Qingyu was also looking forward to the performance of the teams that had already shown their strong aura during the first rehearsal...
