The practice that stands in the center of the stage grows beautifully. It looks like he was well-prepared in his clothes, and his makeup is also very delicate. He can be regarded as the kind of handsome guy who will have a high rate of return when he walks on the road.
But there are not many ugly people who can come to participate in talent shows. Even if it is only the facial features, the costumes and makeup blessings will not be much worse after the packaging.
The problem is that this trainee from Fenghua Entertainment seems to be very confident.
Producer Cui Zhihao, who has been relatively mild since the recording began, has a flat face, and he can't see any obvious emotions. He repeated in a calm but indifferent tone: "You said that your total practice time as a trainee is only three days?"
"Yes." The other party seemed to have been waiting for the instructor to notice this problem, and confirmed it very simply and reservedly. They did not hear it wrong.
It was an inexplicably arrogant attitude. As if he was saying, I only practiced for three days. If I'm weak, that's forgivable. But if some of you have practiced for a long time and are not as good as me, it means that I will be very strong in the future, so why do you work so hard
Yin Suli stared at the trainee for a while, and slapped the ballpoint pen in his hand on the table. She leaned back on the back of the chair and raised her eyebrows, seeming to be very interested: "Then what will you order?"
The pure newcomer who appeared on the show for the first time seemed to be very confident. He smiled and said, "I like singing very much. The dance company has temporarily trained the basic skills. I can also freestyle rap."
"Oh." Yin Suli looked at him with a half-smile, and didn't comment on it, just said concisely, "Then start your performance first, after all, you don't have much experience to talk about."
Zhou Cun was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little embarrassed, but a little unconvinced.
But in the end he didn't say it, even though he was a bit suffocated, he couldn't talk back to the big senior who was still popular for more than 20 years after his debut, so he had to give up the lines he had prepared for a long time and start directly.
At the beginning of this ready pose, Yin Suli's eyes became even colder.
Zhou Cun simply knelt down on the ground, propped his left hand behind him, and held the microphone in his right hand, as if he had designed the plot.
But this action has no aesthetics at all, and it can even be seen that he has not done it well at all. His back was stiff and unable to go down, his leg muscles trembled slightly while waiting for the prelude, obviously even a little lack of exercise.
He obviously didn't understand that since his strength was not enough, he couldn't force some difficult movements.
The whole performance is filled with an awkward atmosphere. The dance moves are blunt like some kind of zombie dance, and the singing skills are not good at all.
As for the rap he just said that he can freestyle, in fact, he even presented the rap part of the prepared first stage in a mess.
When he went to the rap part, he seemed to want to be wild, but in fact, even his only face that was considered a good point, was too hideous because of his too hideous expression.
After listening to Su Qinglan's rap, Zhou Cun obviously still didn't understand. It wasn't that he tried to sing loudly, and then trying to make some fierce and forceful expressions was rap. This is a huge misunderstanding.
At the end of this "performance", the atmosphere in the entire studio fell into an eerie silence.
The trainees did not dare to comment easily, fearing that if the instructor would encourage him, he might be scolded by netizens if he complained too much.
But to be honest, all the trainees felt in their hearts that this kind of performance was a bit underwhelming when dealing with a very meaningful first stage.
It can even be said to give people a feeling of being offended and uncomfortable.
He can perform poorly, he can make mistakes, even if his strength is poor, it doesn't matter.
If the strength is not good, you can continue to practice hard, and he is not the only one who does not perform well. But from the attitude he has shown since he came to power, there is not the slightest sense of his awe for the stage.
What is the stage
Stage means more than just an opportunity, a place to express yourself. It embodies the sweat that everyone has paid for, and the bitterness of failures that the audience cannot see behind them, witnessing them slowly stumbling from stumbling to being able to start to shine.
A good stage is bound to go through a long process of polishing. One minute on stage and ten years of work off stage. Behind every moving stage are countless days and nights of desperate practice.
The reason why dull grit can be transformed into bright and bright pearls, first of all, must have the tenacity that can withstand grinding for ten years.
There are also many trainees who come to the competition without adequate preparation, but their attitude is completely different from Zhou Cun. They honestly admit that their strength is not good, and they will definitely practice hard to catch up with everyone in the future.
On the stage, Zhou Cun was obviously very satisfied with his performance just now.
Maybe he is too young to have the awareness of expression management. His emotions are all written on his face: I have only practiced for three days, and this level is very good. The tutors should praise me for my talent. Bar
Obviously, he was wrong.
Producer Choi Ji-ho, who has not said any serious words since the start of recording, has no expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Cun very seriously, and instead of commenting immediately, he asked him a question: "How do you think your performance just now?"
Zhou Cun was still breathing a little after the activity, but he calmed his breath and showed a smile: "Not bad? This song is quite difficult to sing and dance. There are also rap parts, which should be considered relatively comprehensive. But because I practiced after all. The time is relatively short, there are a few mistakes, and it will definitely be better if you practice more."
He probably also thought that his evaluation was very objective, not completely praising himself, but also pointed out some problems.
On top of that, his practice time is short and he has a lot of room for improvement.
After listening to his answer, producer Cui Zhihao was not disappointed, but raised his hand tiredly and rubbed his eyebrows.
He didn't know how to speak.
There were too many problems, and most importantly, Zhou Cun didn't even realize the most fundamental problem. What should he say
Yao Chen, who was the only one in the men's team among the mentors, was the most uncomfortable. He picked up the microphone and looked directly into Zhou Cun's eyes. The tone is not harsh, even gentle: "Do you know how long it took me from becoming a trainee to stepping on my first stage?"
Zhou Cun was stunned and shook his head.
Yao Chen smiled and said, "One thousand six hundred and forty-two days. Four and a half years."
Zhou Cun was completely stunned.
Yao Chen is very calm, as if he doesn't think he has had a hard time in the past, just stating: "I was not as lucky as you are now when I was young, there are so many platforms and programs that allow you to pass three months of training. I have a chance to debut. I came out as a traditional trainee. I signed with the company at the age of 13 and a half. I left home and started full-closed training in Jingnan, which is a half-day drive. Every day, the unstoppable course starts at 8:00 in the morning and ends in the morning. Four hours of dance class with a 30-minute break in between, followed by vocal music class, rap class, posture correction class, and even a general foreign language. After the class, everyone will consciously practice and practice independently. The lights in the room continued until two o'clock in the evening."
"It's like this every day, and it's like this every year."
The trainees in the audience were very quiet, and they were all listening carefully.
Instructor Yao Chen has a nostalgic smile in his eyes: "At that time, everyone was very simple, the company did not allow mobile phones, and we were in the practice room, classroom, and dormitory every day. We worked hard and sweated together. , I only have one day off in half a month, which is also very satisfying. On that day, we will go out to the Internet cafe to play games for a while, watch the concert videos of the seniors who have debuted, and go to the small commodity market to buy some souvenirs for ourselves.”
"They are all good buddies who have trained together, and they have a tacit understanding that they only need a look to know what the other person is thinking. Those days were full and simple, everyone was running hard in a clear direction, and often fantasized about what would happen if we really met. On the day of debut, how to cheer and how to celebrate. When you are too tired to collapse on the ground, some seniors will secretly use their pocket money to buy iced drinks for each other.”
"But sometimes life is cruel. Only after working hard, can you realize how important talent is. We, who were originally in the same position at the starting line, gradually began to be left far behind."
"Is that such a painful feeling? It's hard for people who haven't experienced it to imagine. After working hard for so long, gritted their teeth and persevering for so long, they tried their best to catch up, but they still couldn't catch up."
"Time is not just a simple number. Every day, every hour, every minute, I get over it little by little. I am so tired that my whole thinking stops. I can fall asleep while sitting and drinking two sips of water, but still Force yourself to keep dancing for an ethereal dream."
"Which of the dancers has never been injured, because there are too many people who have suffered permanent injuries to their knees or waists during practice, and some people have even been forced to end their dreams forever. In vain."
"Is fate fair? Never."
"The trainees are of different ages and talents. Some people have worked hard for two or three years, and they can't see the slightest hope of debuting, and they are not young. The worries and pressures of the family are gradually added to a person, which will make Overwhelmed by one person."
"I'm lucky, I'm talented in dance. The others are not outstanding but not bad, and the most important thing is that I'm still young. Those who grew up with me, practiced with me, smiled and smiled at me. The elder brother who bought the fried noodles to eat, left one by one over time."
Yao Chen's smile is very gentle, he is not pointing out Zhou Cun's shortcomings in the form of hurting a person's self-esteem, he just wants him to know that every stage that seems to him to deal with casually, even if he works hard, may be Opportunities that others have longed for for a lifetime but never got.
A lifetime of regret, every time I think about it, it hurts.
It's not just a stage.
It is a dream that many people have been pursuing all their lives.
Revere the stage, love the stage, since you have the opportunity to stand here, don't let it down.
Yao Chen smiled and sighed.
"I just hope that you can know how to cherish."
