Chapter 027 Second Performance Song Selection 1.0
The combined and individual votes have all been announced. The contestants have cheered for their teammates, expressed their frustration for themselves, and congratulated the higher-ranked contestants.
When everything was over, everyone stood still and quickly calmed down their emotions, rationally analyzing the next course of action based on team and individual rankings.
Lu Wei is one of them. Her unexpected ranking has given her a wide range of choices. I'd like to thank the audience who voted for her and gave her the right to choose.
But rather than being the focus of public attention and discussion, and joining a lively group with many high-ranking contestants, she would rather join a team where the stage is not very popular, where teammates do not make trouble, and where they do not cause any trouble.
Since she didn't want to fool the audience or herself with a perfunctory attitude, and didn't want to disappoint the people who burned their youth on this stage, Lu Wei had to understand the scope of her own abilities and think about the limits of what she could achieve.
First of all, she couldn't go to the Shura Field and gather around popular songs. This would waste too much time thinking about teammates and dealing with interpersonal relationships. Her mediocre skills didn't allow her to do two things at once.
Secondly, she couldn't seek quiet time by listening to less popular songs. Her experience as a fan told her that small temples are prone to evil spirits and shallow ponds are prone to turtles. She might be broken down by her teammates and become the introverted and conspicuous member of the team again.
Then you can only consider joining a team with simple lyrics, music and dance, and not very popular.
In addition, the original team had already been finalized, and Lu Wei had no room to worry or interfere. When it came to song selection, she simply gave up on guessing what her teammates were thinking and only considered the part she could decide.
While waiting for their song selection, the contestants were frantically brainstorming.
It was not until the star promoter Li Jae-hyun heard the director's signal to move on to the next segment through the headset and began to read the opening remarks of the song selection that everyone was pulled out of their thoughts and refocused their attention.
"The program team has prepared 10 classic KPOP songs for the second performance. After the songs are announced, please choose your team's songs according to your group ranking." Thinking that today's work was about to end, Li Jae-hyun couldn't help but relax a lot.
The stingy program crew didn't invite any mentors, and left all the task of controlling the stage to her alone. She had to do the work of several people alone, and she said she would never accept such notices next time.
As soon as Lee Jae-hyun finished speaking on the stage, the concentration and seriousness on everyone's faces had not yet shifted, and the long-stopped sound system and the stage LED screen started working together, attracting everyone's attention.
As soon as the prelude of "Wait on the stool...Wait on the stool...Wait on the stool" came out, even Lu Wei could quickly say the title of the song without looking at the big screen.
This song has a different meaning for KPOP girl groups. It has been repeatedly covered by various idols for more than ten years. There are very few people who have not heard it. Even Lu Wei can hum along.
The song is engraved with youth, and the original singer is written with passion.
Because it is so classic, the dance part has basically not been changed. Lu Wei can guarantee that out of the 77 contestants present, at least 70 can perform the dance in its entirety without practice.
It was very simple for other players, but for Lu Wei, it was hellish.
Everyone else can come out of this, but she's the only one who needs to relearn. She'll definitely be severely criticized, both at home and abroad. Don't touch it, absolutely don't touch it.
The better the performance of the predecessors, the less room they have to perform. What is more terrifying than the ancient white moonlight is the bright moon that remains in the long river of time.
The contestants who were ranked higher in the individual rankings all crossed themselves out mentally. It wasn't that the songs weren't good enough, it was that they weren't good enough.
Next time...Next time for sure.
The contestants didn't dare to make any obvious facial expressions during this segment, nor did they dare to utter a single word about their preference, fearing that even the slightest emotional fluctuation would reveal dislike or rejection, leading to harsh judgment from their seniors' fans.
The four words "caution and carefulness" became the motto of everyone present.
As soon as the four minutes were up, the second competition song was switched.
The moment she saw the song title [cat], Lu Wei's eyes lit up. She quite liked this fishing style. The dance was sexy but not vulgar, and the song was lazy but charming.
For a returning contestant with plenty of stage experience, it's not difficult to perform. But for a newbie like her, it's a bit too much to ask. Pass, pass.
If WINS wanted stability, they would probably choose this song. The members of the group can easily pull off the sexy style. It's a good opportunity to continue the style of the first public performance, letting the public see whether it's the people or the songs that are not good.
Of course...the possibility of Waterloo is also not small, it still depends on what the parties involved think.
Lu Wei's eyes moved around, but he didn't see any obvious movement from WINS.
Well... everyone is a master at expression management. Unless you use a magnifying glass to analyze each frame, no one can hide from them.
She needs to study hard, as it might be useful for her future civil service exams.
The screen switched again, and the second the third song title appeared, Lu Wei wished she could get as far away from it as she could. Her reputation as a reader wasn't just talk; she couldn't even sing.
The rap content is excessive. The strength of the ancient girl group is beyond words. The rap is beautiful and the dance is beautiful. If she performs this, the stage effect will be as crazy as knowing the song title.
I hope the rappers among the contestants don’t have any problems with their thinking and rush into a track that they are not suitable for. This song is very suitable for them.
Lu Wei was not worried about the song chosen by Jin Nayan and others. Although the team did not have any style labels, except for Park Yunzhi and Han Hyunjin who could occasionally rap a passage, the recitation level of the other team members was about the same.
When they returned and competed fiercely for parts, they never fought for the rap part, so Lu Wei didn’t have to worry about falling into the recitation hell.
The third song was pass...pass, and the fourth competition song [lovely] was played in silence.
enmmmm......
The original singer group epitomizes the vibrant energy style, having once been a top-ranked girl group that slayed the raves of Korea and Japan. So, is she... vibrant? Sunny? Cheerful? Bright?
Lu Wei fell into deep thought, deeply doubting herself. Others were full of energy, while she was discouraged. She might end up getting thrown water bottles and kicked off the stage after the performance because she was sour-faced due to debt.
The top-ranked contestants probably won’t choose this song. The impact on the stage isn’t very strong, and it doesn’t offer much of an advantage in competitive variety shows.
Let's put it on hold for now. If the subsequent songs are further beyond her personal ability, we can consider it again.
Teammate Li Huimin's eyes began to light up. She has a vibrant appearance, which suits the song very well.
If you look at it based on the individual ranking at the bottom, the possibility of choosing [lovely] is very small, but if you look at it based on the team ranking, the chance of choosing your favorite song is much greater.
She had to think about how to convince her teammates to choose the fourth song as the team competition song.
Although Miracle Girl ranked 6th and everyone was carried by Lu Wei, most of the team hadn't truly changed their mindset, subconsciously still treating her as a small transparent background. When thinking, they were more concerned about their own room for improvement.
As soon as the prelude of the fifth song [synthesis] came out, the contestants who were originally still enjoying the soothing rhythm of the energetic style couldn't help but shudder.
The futuristic sense of technology composed of an array of electronic sound effects hit everyone strongly, and everyone's ears were quickly occupied by the strong rhythm of the music. The emotional fluctuations in their pupils were obviously much greater than before.
The competition songs produced by active girl groups are more in line with people's current aesthetic preferences. Lu Wei can guess who will choose it. Most of the teams ranked in the top three in the first public performance have already added it to their performance list.
This song has a lot of room for dance and vocal expression. As long as you carefully align the movements, the performance in the second public performance will definitely be good. The program team bought the copyright well and did not deceive themselves by putting in some "classic songs" that no one has heard of.
Kong Yufei glanced at her teammates. Their group size was just right, so there was no need to re-divide the groups. It was a shame that MUYI ranked so low, only placing 7th in the first public performance. Otherwise, her individual ranking wouldn't have been wasted.
She had to find two songs that suited her, and the opinions of the other members of the group were unimportant. After all, Kong Yufei was ranked fourth individually, and individual strength was always tied to the team's influence.
More than half of the competition repertoire has been announced, and the contestants have all had a lot of thoughts in their minds, with different focuses. It all depends on which one is more important, the team or the individual, and then they follow their hearts to make the most genuine choice.
The sixth competition song, [MIDI], is a strong girl crush song and is also a song that often appears in talent shows.
If you are looking for freshness, it is not within the options of many contestants, and is limited by its own conditions. If it is not supported by a strong aura, it can easily be overshadowed by the song itself.
Putting aside her personal abilities, this song completely fits Lu Wei's preferences. Unfortunately, she's unsure if she can do it well, so she's still keeping it on hold.
When the prelude of the seventh competition song started, Lu Wei's eyes widened. Her chosen song finally appeared!
【adolescence】is completely different from the above six songs in style. It has a lively tune, bright rhythm, and a youthful campus feeling, bringing the audience back to the green days when the sun was shining and the fans were creaking.
It makes people smile knowingly as they think of the midsummer of that year.
The song also features a simple dance with relatively few high notes, making it very suitable for Lu Wei, a latecomer whose dancing is mainly based on imitation and whose vocal range is not very broad.
It’s not that she can’t choose songs that are beyond her ability. After all, sometimes the risks and rewards are proportional.
But... the decision to put in serious effort to perform a good show has far exceeded Lu Wei's comfort zone. If she challenges the impossible again, her previous plan will only go to waste.
In the end, I became more and more frustrated and anxious, and more and more withdrawn, falling into a vicious cycle. I could not get anything, could not do anything, and could not grasp anything.
It is better to make a choice early, respect fate, save yourself, and give up the idea of overestimating your own abilities.
