That night, the lyrics of the four lines lingered in my heart repeatedly, embracing Fang Juexia into his dream.
He dreamed that he was a tree squeezed between the cliffs and rocks. The growth process was very painful, the stones were painful, and the cracks were painful. But he was soaked in the clouds for half a lifetime, until his body was paralyzed, and he was ignorant.
In a daze, a dazzling lightning struck his branches, so he faltered, just wanting to fall with it.
But what is falling? It's an abyss. How could the fledgling lightning accompany the dead branches and leaves trapped at the bottom of the valley. Maybe he can still dream of cloud-filled dreams in the mud with the phantom left behind by this silvery white, burning himself up in a flash of dry wood, turning into ashes for the rest of his life.
For some reason, Fang Juexia suddenly opened his eyes, and he looked at the endless darkness and breathed. After waking up, he sat on the bed and spent half an hour in a daze. His mind began to become clear, and every detail in the dream was reappearing, and the burning of that kind of extinction felt that it could not be completely subsided now.
Fang Juexia knew that this dream was a metaphor in his heart. He was afraid that this lightning was just a game world, and he caused a disaster. The tree on the cliff has no feet and nowhere to hide.
In the early hours of the morning, Caledo continued to record the show as before. In addition to MLH from Yunshi, there were also two other platforms of Dasong variety shows.
It is also very realistic. Since they were out of the circle because of live, they have been treated a lot when they participated in the recording. Another platform directly changed kaleido to a larger lounge, and also specially recorded the song highlights for them and put them in the video. Website, attract fans to watch.
The six people in Caledo remained humble as always, bowing to each staff member.
Following the pen-hold shooting, the well-known up host of a video website made a special reaction to watch the first stage of "Broken Array". The title is [Leave the song or discard the song? Idol just has no strength? Let's watch the fairy live of the whole network! ]
This video soon appeared on the homepage of the website due to its super high playback and collection. The wonderful performance of Caledo and the humorous reaction of the up master were very eye-catching, and the airborne division ranked first. The popularity of this video has also set off a wave of Caledo live stage reactions on the website. Many up owners have followed suit. In addition to the return of the song scene, there are also many treasures that have not been discovered before. Many people discovered the true strength of this men's team.
Not only that, "Broken Array" has also quietly become popular in the music area and has become a popular cover song for many cover up masters. Among these derivative works that reached a hot win-win situation, "Broken Array", which almost died at the beginning due to a leak, has been liked by more and more people. The popular searches of major music software are indispensable for this song, and the sound source scores have improved by leaps and bounds. Qi Yao's new song has been left far behind and topped the list.
The Internet turmoil was ups and downs, but Fang Juexia was still the same, stable and quiet. Only when you step on the stage, will you come out of the hard shell and release powerful energy.
It's already ten o'clock in the morning after get off work from the song show, and the fan meeting is scheduled at two o'clock in the afternoon, in a small venue that can accommodate 1,000 people. Caledo took the time to change his look, and rushed from the video location to the venue of the new special meeting.
Ling Yi and Lu Yuan were chatting in the car, Fang Juexia looked at Lu Yuan, who had always been amused, at the countless fans under the recording building, and said something like this.
"It turned out to be popular because of this feeling."
He suddenly felt particularly uncomfortable. Not uncomfortable for himself, uncomfortable for this team. Each of them is not a so-called orthodox idol. Some of them missed the championship due to shady on the talent show, and were supposed to be seeded singers who made their debut. There were dancers who lost everything after winning the championship, and they were born in classical music but had to choose. Another way is to raise his sister's elder brother, there are creators who still love music in street bars and nightclubs, and the anti-bone thorn bird who broke free from one cage but was thrown into another cage.
Fate has brought them together, so that he, who was born with the label of failure, has such a group of companions to support each other to grow together.
Ling Yi leaned his head out of the window, "I'm also a little unrealistic, a little stunned. Maybe I'm used to the previous state. No one has ever seen so many people support suddenly, and it's a bit awkward."
Fang Juexia rarely spoke, and smiled at them, "Popularity is like a parabola, rising followed by declining, red and not red are always just a process. But the work and the stage are eternal, right."
Ling Yi nodded heavily, his eyes were a little red, and he wiped his eyes and narrowed his mouth and said, "I think you look like an adult."
"Hahahaha is he alright?"
"Only Xiao Pei is not an adult."
"Hey, why do you always take me? I'm twenty!"
In order to give back to the fans in the audience and before the live broadcast, the performances appeared in the costumes of all members. The color system is very uniform red. There is also a one-and-a-half minute dance intro before the official performance of "Broken Array". Each individual's eyes were covered with two finger-wide strips of red veil, tied behind his head, and fluttered with his movements. This introduction is a piece of music produced by He Ziyan, Guofeng Electric Music. The dance is choreographed by Lu Yuan, which combines the characteristics of Chinese dance and street dance, which is sassy and cool.
At the end of the opening, everyone stepped down and changed their costumes. The other non-main track in their new album was playing on stage, and when they played again, everyone's appearance had been changed to the team's support color, Klein blue. Pei Tingsong has white hair with blue sports headband, and wears a blue sweater and white half pants, refreshing and sporty. Fang Juexia's hair was tied in a low ponytail, leaving a strand of hair that reached the chin line, a blue sweater with white trousers, and a pair of silver glasses.
The enthusiasm of the fans is even higher than before, and they have been yelling Caledo from the time they have not returned to the stage, especially when they are on stage, the host can't even interrupt them.
Or Jiang Miao spoke first, "Would you like us to say something?"
The fans in the audience were immediately amused, and the atmosphere became relaxed from the warm call.
The host took advantage of the momentum to get into the topic, "First of all, congratulations to Kaleido for our official return with the new album "Broken". After a year of release, what do you think?"
Official spokesperson Jiang Miao took the question, "Of course, I am very excited. In fact, the album planning process is quite difficult. This time every member of us participated in the production of the album, especially the title song. This In fact, it is a very risky thing. Our role has changed from a performer who interprets a song to an expresser who creates a song. This conversion brings great pressure to us and the companies that support us."
Fang Juexia listened carefully to the captain's words, and suddenly thought of the first meeting after the airport video went out of the circle. It was at that time that he and Pei Tingsong made a proposal to let them participate in the creation. Thinking about it now, it's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and I don't know where the confidence and determination come from, and I don't think about the consequences of failure. I want to try and do it myself.
"Now there are really very few idol groups that can create by themselves. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the song "Broken Array" can get such a big response." The host raised a second question, "Then you are in the creative process. Is there anything interesting that happened in, can you share it with the fans?"
"Interesting thing..." Jiang Miao glanced at Ling Yi and made Ling Yi quickly pick up the microphone, "Ah, I thought of one. I sang the opening of "Broken Array" from Peking Opera "Mu Guiying in Command". A paragraph. In fact, this idea was put forward by the captain during a meeting a year ago, but I have never sang in fact."
The fans below laughed, and Ling Yi said again, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I am particularly suitable for singing?" After joking, he said again, "At that time, I went to find a famous Peking opera teacher to study for a while, of course. The company is reimbursed. You have to sing every day when you sing, I just sing in the dormitory every day."
As his teammate, Fang Juexia picked up the microphone at this time, "Let’s say it for you. That day, Ling Yi was opening his voice, and after sang a few words, the other side of the balcony, far away, heard the voice of an uncle. We were also singing. We were stunned at the time, and after searching the uncle’s lyrics, we found out that he was singing "Jiang Yang"."
The host smiled, "So you are singing in the air, right?"
Lu Yuan complained: "Mu Guiying fought against Yang Jiajiang."
Ling Yi added, "But I hope you don't mention me under the works of some Peking Opera performing artists. I am a fancy, I can't be regarded as a performer at all. Mentioning my name will only show my cowardice, and don't make me too ashamed."
Jiang Miao nodded, "Yes, we must respect other people's works, so as to win respect."
He Ziyan again said, "Speaking of creation, we actually got stuck on the arrangement of the title song for a long time. We made the arrangement for about three or four editions. The arrangement teacher and I were bothered by it. Later, it was Jiao Xia who changed the arrangement. , And also wrote the melody of the first and last verse." He said to fans in the audience, "The point is, we didn't know that Jue Xia would write songs before."
"Wow!"
"Brother Jie Xia is awesome!"
Fang Juexia was originally afraid of being praised by others, so she was already a little embarrassed, but she was far away and added a special sentence, "We still know that Xiao Pei said that Juexia is good at writing melody."
There was another uproar in the audience. Pei Tingsong had to explain, "I found it by accident."
accidental? Fang Juexia glanced at him, and he knew that he had written a song before he opened the USB flash drive. How embarrassed to say it was accidental.
"But I think Brother Xia is really amazing." Pei Tingsong glanced at him, "He broke my previous perception of talented people."
This evaluation was too high. It was so high that Fang Juexia had hot cheeks, and she forgot to raise the microphone, but turned her head and said to him, "You are more talented."
Ling Yi stepped in at this time and joked, "It's started, the business talks about each other."
Everyone laughed again. After the host asked a few questions, he announced the sales of their new album so far. In just two and a half days, the sales of digital albums have exceeded 400,000, which is compared to their total sales of 60,000 for their debut album and mini albums. One hundred thousand, this is already a straight line of progress.
"What's great is that everyone look at the trend of the sound source and sales." The host took the fans off the stage and looked at the line chart on the big screen. It’s terrifying, and it continues. The turning point is when the first live song of our card group was broadcast."
The host asked, "Everyone's scene attracted a lot of passersby. The song "Broken Array" is now a new hot BGM of short video sites, and it has also received a lot of praise. Everyone generally thinks that you have exceeded the level of idols. It is a bit wasteful to call idol singers. How do you think about these voices?"
Several members have said a lot, and on the whole they are also grateful for the praise of netizens, and will show a better side to everyone, and did not go into such topics in depth.
Fang Juexia has always been a member who doesn't speak very much. Unless he is cueed, he barely speaks actively. He couldn't help answering this time.
"This of course is an encouragement to us. But what I want to say is that the word idol was very positive at the beginning, because of some practical reasons, it was stained with a lot of negative colors. It is certainly good to be affirmed, but We are indeed idols, and it is very accurate to describe it in terms of performance. I don't want to use words like idols or idols to describe us. My personal response is to ask everyone to recognize Kaleido's identity as idol. "
His eyes are very sincere, "In fact, idol is not a shame, its existence must have its preciousness. I really enjoy the moment of expressing myself on the stage as idol. We dream more than getting rid of it. When you can let everyone see the word idol, you can think of us."
The applause in the audience became more and more enthusiastic, not just because of the affection of the other party, Jue Xia. These girls also suffer from prejudice, but because their idol is an idol, they are also classified as the bottom of the Internet class. Even if there is no shortage of very good people in their group, it is useless and prejudice persists.
Hearing what Fang Juexia said, Pei Tingsong felt ashamed. He is proud, but not arrogant, and brave enough to admit his initial mistakes frankly.
When he first came to this company, he engaged in this profession with a passive attitude of resistance, just like many people wearing colored glasses, he had a prejudice against idols, thinking that idols are inferior to singers and hip-hop singers.
He thought these people were just singing unnutritious songs given by others, dancing like beautiful marionettes. He disdains to put his dream in such an empty and superficial form.
But the facts proved him wrong, and Fang Juexia in front of him was the most vivid counterattack against prejudice.
From his body, Pei Tingsong gradually discovered the true form of the idol, the almost perfect external form enveloping the tenacious core.
He is not chasing dreams, there is no smooth road, no bright vision, all he has from beginning to end is the label advertised as "wrong", attack and slander, darkness and loneliness, even so, he still approached that step by step The stage, touch, crawl, and run.
Everyone is exploring various spirits, hip-hop spirit, rock spirit... But no one thinks about it, maybe idols are also spirited.
Fang Juexia is a projection of the idol spirit.
The author has something to say:
Fang Juexia is a very idealized idol in my mind. He speaks with the confidence of his own strength and situation, and there is a gap with reality. I hope everyone will not mention the three-dimensional, and don't diverge. Everything is based on the entertainment circle and kaleido group in the book.
