Chapter 4 The Birth of the Group
On the eve of recording.
502 girls dormitory.
"I'm looking up at the moon"
"How many dreams are flying freely"
"Yesterday was forgotten and the sadness dried up"
"I want to meet you again on that vast road"
The door to the dormitory was pushed open, and Zhao Shu, who had returned from a part-time job, walked in with a thump on her shoulders. She glanced at Song Ge, who was singing with the lyrics in her hand, and raised the corner of her mouth and asked: "Why is the beautiful lady Song so interested in singing loudly in the dormitory today? Before. Please don’t sing anything you don’t even sing in the dormitory!”
The roommate, who was wearing a facial mask, shook his head and said in disbelief: "I have been singing all day, Lao Zhao. I have known her for almost four years, and today she asked me to bring her food for the first time!"
Zhao Shu understood immediately after listening to it, rolled her eyes and said, "You idiot, is this the song you and he participated in the show?"
Song Ge nodded sheepishly.
Zhao Shu recalled the rhythm just now, and asked curiously while taking off her clothes: "What is the name of this song? Who sang it? It sounds earthy and nice to me. I will listen to the next one later."
"It sounds great!"
A proud smile appeared on Song Ge's face, "This song was written by Zhixing and is not available on the Internet."
Zhao Shu threw the supermarket promotional clothes she had taken off on the bed, stuck out her tongue and made a face and said, "I can't believe it, if he wrote this song, I would run naked downstairs in the men's dormitory three times!"
Song Ge: "..."
…
…
Recording day.
7:30 p.m.
Jincheng Radio and Television Building, "The Birth of the Group" recording hall.
All the participating combinations from all over the country are waiting in the lounge at the moment. What they have to do today is very simple. They perform on stage and are divided into seats and classes according to their performance ratings.
One of the highlights of this music talent show is that there are seats for the contestants next to the stage.
The player seats are very special. There are six rows of seats from bottom to top, and they are divided into six levels. One is the highest level, that is, class one, which can seat three combinations, class two, six combinations, and class three, nine combinations. With ladder growth, the six classes with the lowest grades will face the risk of being eliminated at any time.
This rule is somewhat similar to the program rules of the Bangzi Chinese girl group version of "Sister Lang", except that they sort the seats according to the album sales after their debut. This kind of grade difference rule really makes the show very interesting.
"The Birth of a Group" is a talent show with very powerful sponsors. Penguin Video and Penguin Live are the largest sponsors. In order to get out of the show, Ji Lei, who is known as the "godfather of the talent show" in the entertainment industry, was invited to create a talent show. The most popular and realistic talent show of the year.
In recent years, talent show variety shows have changed, and fewer and fewer viewers are watching them.
On the one hand, the audience's aesthetic fatigue is to change the soup without changing the medicine. Compared with the earliest talent show variety shows, the current talent show variety shows lack authenticity and are all post-edited war games.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the program, the program team created a new format, broadcast live, which attracted the public's attention and made the program popular before it was broadcast.
Although the format of live broadcast has gimmicks, the disadvantage is that it is afraid of mistakes. To be precise, it is the fear of mistakes by the staff. It does not matter whether the contestants make mistakes or not. Overturning sometimes can bring better program effects and ratings.
The program is very popular, and countless people have signed up to participate. The program team finally selected 63 groups. According to the rules, only 4 places can be debuted in the end. It can be said that the competition is very fierce.
…
There are still twenty minutes until the show starts.
In the lounge, most of the contestants were practicing their voices. In order to give the audience a sense of hard work and seriousness in front of the camera, they set up a hard-working persona.
You have to fight for the camera by yourself. For example, a fresh meat group that has been trained by the company will already be able to play solitaire songs in front of the camera with confidence.
The cute and crazy little expression when he couldn't catch the song, and the bright smile after he succeeded in catching the song, all of them are talented actors.
"Pigeon, are you nervous?"
Lin Zhixing opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Song Ge, who had been practicing his voice in the blind spot of the camera.
Song Ge took the water and took a sip. He glanced around and said, "It's okay, but there are cameras all the time. I'm a bit uncomfortable..."
People don’t care about the shots that others want to take, tsk tsk tsk.
Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head, and said with relief: "Just perform normally, there will be absolutely no problem."
"Uh-huh."
Song Ge stared at the nameplate with Luan Bird Jiamu printed on his jacket, and suddenly remembered, "By the way Zhixing, where will we sit during the seat selection process?"
After all the contestants enter and before the performance, the seats in the six rows are free to sit. Those who are confident in their abilities can sit forward.
The advantage of sitting in the front is that you can fully zoom in on the camera, but if you finish singing the song and are forced to move to the back seat based on the score, it will be a joke to the whole audience.
"Where do you want to sit?"
Although Lin Zhixing had already decided where to sit, he wanted to hear her thoughts.
"Um……"
Song Ge thought for a while, then asked after deliberation, "How about sitting in the sixth row? There is room for improvement."
"Be confident."
Lin Zhixing patted her shoulder and encouraged: "There will always be someone who takes first place, so why can't it be us? Of course we come to the competition to be first. Let's sit in the first row."
Sitting in the front row was Lin Zhixing's plan long after he learned the rules. What he wanted was to have enough shots, even if it became a joke in the audience, it would be considered a success if the audience remembered you, especially if you had to sing "Above the Moon" Such a unique song.
"Song pigeon!"
Before Song Ge could nod, a male player in a suit and slicked back hair separated from the crowd and walked over with a smile, "I thought I was wrong. It's really you!"
"Hi, Liu Hao."
Song Ge raised his hand to say hello, his smile slightly stiff.
The contestant named Liu Hao adjusted his glasses and asked curiously: "Last time I asked you to come with me to try it out. You said you didn't have time, so why..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed the presence of Lin Zhixing next to Song Ge. Looking at the exact same nameplate, he understood everything.
Alas, it turns out I just don’t have time...
"I……"
Song Ge lowered his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it.
"Let's work hard together, I'll go back and prepare first!"
Liu Hao forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and stopped talking, leaving a lonely figure behind.
"Geve, who is this man?"
Lin Zhixing was confused when he heard this. He didn't understand why this man looked at him so strangely, as if he had stolen his wife. He didn't even recognize this man in his memory.
Song Ge covered his blushing face, lowered his head and explained: "I met him in a singing competition before. He invited me to participate in this program, but I refused."
"This is so embarrassing."
Lin Zhixing looked at Liu Hao who had squeezed into the crowd again, and asked curiously: "Who ranked higher between you and him in that competition?"
Song Ge replied: "I won the gold medal, and he won the silver medal."
"Ouch!"
Lin Zhixing raised his eyebrows and joked: "So we are guaranteed to be second to last?"
Song Ge didn't smile. He pursed his lips and said seriously: "I won with a slight advantage. Don't be careless. He is very powerful."
"I'm just kidding, don't worry."
Although Golden Finger is there, Lin Zhixing doesn't dare to relax at all. This program is now a very important springboard for his future.
The young model in the club is popular, but when he is not popular, he works in the sea.
…
"Okay, everyone, prepare to line up to enter. Once you enter, sit directly where you want to sit. Don't hesitate to affect the filming progress!"
The live broadcast filming was about to begin, and the staff began to organize the players to enter, and the lounge suddenly became noisy.
"Brother, you are the composer Long Huohuo, right?"
In the long queue, a male player with short hair and a floral shirt attracted the attention of other players around him.
"Well, it's me."
The short-haired man nodded.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I like the song you made so much. It sounds so inspiring!"
"Thank you. It's not that good. You're flattering me."
The short-haired man smiled and waved his hand.
"There will definitely be new songs for this competition, right?"
"It's written."
…
"Who is that person?"
asked the people around who didn't know him.
When his companion saw it, he frowned and explained: "Long Huohuo is a very powerful new composing star with a strong musical background. Do you know who his aunt is?"
"Who?"
"Xiao Shiniang."
"Hey, Xiao Shiniang, who often writes songs for the kings and queens? So, he came to the competition this time, most likely with Wang Zha's lyrics and music?"
"What do you think? Alas, the contestants here are too strong. How about we stop sitting in the fourth row and sit in the fifth row more conservatively?"
"Okay, okay, the sixth row is fine too, six or six will go smoothly."
…
This eye-catching short-cut man is named Zhang Long, and his music platform vest is called Long Huohuo. He is Li Zhenzhen’s current boyfriend.
"Zhenzhen."
With a trace of pride on Zhang Long's lips, he lowered his voice and showed off to his girlfriend beside him: "I didn't expect so many people to know me, which makes me feel embarrassed."
Got no response…
He found Li Zhenzhen gritting her teeth and staring at the back of the team, muttering in a low voice, "It's really a narrow road for enemies."
"Who?"
Zhang Long pulled down his sunglasses and looked in the direction Li Zhenzhen was looking. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes wide and turned around and asked, "Is Lin Zhixing your ex-boyfriend?"
Li Zhenzhen nodded in surprise, "Do you know him?"
"Um."
Zhang Long raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile in his eyes: "We are both from the composition department. Although we are not in the same class, I have taken a big class with him. He has always become famous. The professor who teaches audio-visual and ear training even named him Use a nickname.”
"What nickname?"
Li Zhenzhen asked curiously.
"Deaf Five."
Zhang Long suppressed a smile and replied.
"puff!"
Li Zhenzhen imagined how the old professor was trembling with anger, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Except for being handsome, he has no merits. I didn't expect you to want to partner with him before."
Zhang Long shook his head in confusion, and then asked curiously: "What is his singing level?"
"well."
Li Zhenzhen sighed and said: "After all, we have been dating for three years. Before I met you, I planned to help him out before graduation. I didn't expect him to be so apathetic. I was really blind at the time."
"His singing is quite mediocre. I don't know what the connection is with him. Just watch, he will definitely be among the first to be eliminated."
Lin Zhixing, who was waiting in line to enter the venue, sneezed twice in a row. He always felt like someone was scolding him behind his back, and he accidentally looked up.
Eyes collide...
Ouch, ex-girlfriend!
