"The Birth of an Idol" started recording in June, and time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it had already entered the final stage.
Different from the recording of the previous nine episodes, the tenth phase of the group competition played the signboard of live broadcast very early to attract attention.
There are also opportunities for editing and correction, which is relatively less pressure for the program team and the contestants. However, live streaming is different, with so many viewers watching the show in front of the TV. Whether singing or dancing is synchronized, it can be said that there is really any mistake at a glance, and there is no chance to cover up.
"Our final is divided into two parts..."
The remaining 22 trainees were gathered together, and director Tang Yanqing announced the final process and rules.
According to him, the final will be divided into two parts. The first half examines the vocal music of the contestants, and the performance will be mainly singing. As for the second half, the focus was on dance, and the contestants divided into two teams to show.
"I know that everyone has put in a lot of effort to debut as a group, and I hope you can fight the last battle. Last game, let's dream together for youth! "
I have to say that even if they know that what they are saying is all scene words, the trainees still can't help but feel excited.
They began closed training in June, and nearly three months have passed since then. These three months were the closest they got to their dreams, and they were the most motivating.
From the first 22 trainees to rate training together, to the elimination of the remaining <> trainees in the competition again and again. It can be said that it is very difficult to stay, but this is not enough, only eleven people can form a group.
If not one of the 11, then at the end of the day, start from scratch.
People have different ideas, but the big goal is still the same --
Grasp the last chance, debut is the last obsession.
The contestants are grouped according to a lottery, and the songs can be selected by themselves.
Lu Xu and Song Zhe became the captains of the two teams, which can be regarded as equal strength.
When the team chooses songs, everyone expresses their opinions, always hoping to come up with the best song to show their eyes. Lu Xu, as the captain, had the most right to speak, and after saying "wait a minute" to his teammates, he got up to find Tang Yanqing.
When he pushed the door in, he saw that Song Zhe was also among them.
"Lu Xu, you just came, Song Zhe wants to discuss something here." Tang Yanqing beckoned when he saw Lu Xu, as if he was waiting for him.
"Huh?" When Lu Xu heard this, he looked at Song Zhe and asked with his eyes what was going on.
Sooner or later, Song Zhe didn't want to hide Lu Xu, so he smiled and explained to him: "I came to ask Director Tang if I could use the songs written by my predecessors, and I haven't released the kind yet..."
The senior that Song Zhe said in his mouth was actually Xu Xiangye, the □□ hand specially invited by his agent Li Haichao to help.
As a singer-songwriter who has become popular in the entire Chinese music scene not long after his debut, Xu Xiangye's popularity and talent are first-class good. Don't see that Xu Xiangye is very popular now, and when he first cast songs, he also hit a wall everywhere. Or Li Haichao saw the pearls, watched a performance of him from the Internet, and felt that this young man was talented, so he signed it.
Xu Xiangye, who was already very strong, had resources and exposure, became popular overnight, and instantly became the representative of the new generation of singer-songwriters.
Although his contract with Li Haichao has expired now, he can also be regarded as his Bole. Li Haichao asked Xu Xiangye to write a song for Song Zhe, and the other party naturally responded.
In addition to the good song, on the other hand, I also want to use some popularity.
For them, this is that resources are connections, and there is nothing fair or unfair.
Song Zhe came to discuss with Tang Yanqing, and also felt that he could bring some heat to the program group.
It is naturally good to have popular singers who write songs specifically, and Tang Yanqing was not prepared to refuse, but he also had to consider the feelings of Lu Xu's group.
The same are all trainees, one has someone who specializes in writing songs, and the other is not psychological, I am afraid it will be difficult to balance. Tang Yanqing even wanted to find a capable friend in the circle to send a song to Lu Xu's team, but he was very happy to think of Lu Xu.
"Yes." Lu Xu originally came for Tao Yingbo's song, but Song Zhe first helped him save a lot of words, "Actually, I came here for the song..."
Lu Xu immediately said that Mr. Tao left a song, and his tone was generous: "I think it's very good and meaningful, so I want to see if the final can be used." "
"Teacher Tao?"
For this talented composer who has not appeared since the beginning, Tang Yanqing and Song Zhe are still very impressed.
The songs of Lu Xu's group before were all changed by him, which are stronger than the original.
This kind of powerful but faceless creator is a curious existence in itself, not to mention the audience, even they want to know who this Tao teacher is.
It's just that after the last performance, Mr. Tao announced his withdrawal from the competition through the mouth of Ji Xiunian, and there has been no news since then.
Now Lu Xu said that Teacher Tao wrote a song, and Tang Yanqing naturally became interested.
Now both teams have original songs to sing, which is a lot fairer in a way.
"Then it's decided, you bring the song to the arranger teacher, if your team members have no objections, we will use the original."
Lu Xu exchanged glances with Song Zhe, and then nodded at the same time: "Good." "
Coming out of the director's room, Song Zhe did not forget to encourage each other with Lu Xu: "The last one, fight." "
Lu Xu nodded at Song Zhe: "Well, fight!"
The two walked out a few steps, and Song Zhe's thoughts were still a little complicated.
At the beginning, almost everyone thought that he would be the C position, and at that time, regardless of strength or popularity, he was the best one.
Where did I think that a Lu Xu came out in the middle, not only good-looking, but also strong.
Li Haichao didn't deal with Bai Ze, and he always felt that he was pressed by Bai Ze everywhere before, and he was a little unbalanced.
Finally, the newcomers launched by the two participated in the draft together, and Song Zhe's popularity at the beginning was indeed higher than that of Lu Xu, and Li Haichao said more than once that he wanted to convince Bai Ze to lose.
As a result, after several games, Lu Xu's popularity was like riding a rocket.
How hard I put it before, how painful my face is now.
Li Hai supernaturally couldn't accept it, and cheered up Song Zhe more than once, asking him to suppress Lu Xu.
Song Zhe himself has no contradiction with Lu Xu, although he is indeed a little strange when he is pressed at the beginning. But everyone fights for strength, and he also admits that Lu Xu is really strong.
Thinking so, Song Zhe suddenly shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity to say, I really want to try it with you." But this is going to be the final, and there is no chance yet..."
Song Zhe said from the heart, if he could combine with Lu Xu, the strength of the two of them would definitely complement each other, and he could completely make up for the picture of the explosion of the stage.
Lu Xu looked at him with some disappointment, and replied with a smile: "That's not necessarily, if it goes well, we may be able to cooperate in the form of a combination later." "
One is the first in popularity, and the other is second.
No matter how you think about it, the chances of forming a group are great.
As soon as Lu Xu's words came out, Song Zhe only felt suddenly cheerful, so he smiled very happily: "Brother Xu, you are right, then we will all work hard and look forward to future cooperation!" "
Song Zhe is in his early twenties after all, although the teenager is stable, but after he is mature, he can also find the youthful side.
Lu Xu saw that this group of teammates all had a mentality of looking at children, but they all felt that they were children, and they always took care of themselves with the posture of being an older brother.
Lu Xu couldn't explain that his 18-year-old was fake, so he could only let them go.
Back in the practice room to meet his teammates, Lu Xu told his teammates about Tao Yingbo's songwriting.
Knowing that Song Zhe and their team's song came from Xu Xiangye, the teammates couldn't help but wail -
"My mother, I found a little king to write songs, this hand is too strong."
"Woo-hoo, people are still original, can we really spell it?"
"What to do, is it still too late to find someone to write songs? Wait, I don't seem to know the big guy who writes songs, it's just cannibalism..."
Everyone didn't think about what song to choose, and now they are even more confused.
Some people also asked Lu Xu after sighing: "Then Brother Xu, what should we do?" "
"We also have ah, "Starfall" written by Mr. Tao, you can consider how to use this one..."
"Teacher Tao wrote it?!" Xu Lele and they were very excited when they heard this name, and they only felt that there was no way to go.
"Wow, is it Teacher Tao who changed your song before? I can!!! "
"Hurry up, release it and listen, and suddenly feel a lot more at ease."
Tao Yingbo gave the score at that time, and Lu Xu recorded it in advance for the convenience of everyone to listen to it, and simply hummed it.
Even the a cappella singing makes people feel that this song is too amazing.
There are no gorgeous words and no traditional erotic love, but the tune inexplicably floats to the listener's psyche.
"He said he had dreams, like stars shining in the sky..."
"The accident is like a joke, taking away him and taking away the dream..."
"He was like a star, and then he tended to dim..."
"Those unfulfilled dreams, along with the ashes, fell into the dust..."
Lu Xu's voice was warm and powerful, and he told a story in a flat tone.
There are many people in the world, and everyone has their own dreams. Some are smoothed out by life, and dreams are also backlogged.
There is a saying that many people die at the age of 25, because every day after that repeats itself.
They all want to be different people, but in the end they are no different.
There are also people who die on the road of chasing dreams, and dreams are drowned with the flesh.
Many times, after losing your dreams, death is the same as or both.
The first half sounds a little embarrassing, but the lyrics in the back change context.
Even if the body is buried with the dream, as long as you can find your original intention, everything will be meaningful and timely.
Whether the dream is bland or dead, there are always traces of its existence.
"We all grow old, but there will always be people who are forever young. Maybe it's you who died in your 20s, or maybe you died in that dream in your early twenties..."
Singing to the end is relief and remembrance, perhaps remembering the deceased, perhaps the once alive self.
No matter how you understand it, in the end, it depends on what the listener thinks.
When Lu Xu finished singing, it took a long time for his teammates to return to their senses.
After a few moments, everyone raised their hands unanimously and said that the final was set.
