"The Birth of an Idol" started recording in June. Time flies quickly, and it has entered the final stage in a blink of an eye.
Different from the recording and broadcasting of the previous nine periods, the tenth period of the group game was played out early to attract the attention of the live broadcast.
Recording and broadcasting also have opportunities for editing and correction, which is relatively less stressful for the program group and the players. However, live broadcasting is different, so many viewers stay in front of the TV to watch the show. Whether singing or dancing is synchronized, it can be said that there are really any mistakes at a glance, and there is no chance to hide it at all.
"Our final is divided into two parts..."
The remaining 22 trainees were gathered together, and the director Tang Yanqing announced the final process and rules.
According to what he said, the final will be divided into two parts. In the first half, the contestants’ vocal music will be examined, and the performance will be mainly singing. As for the second half, the focus was on dance, and the contestants were divided into two teams to show.
"I know that everyone has put in a lot of effort to make their debut as a group, and I also hope that you will be able to fight the last battle. In the last game, let us work together for youth and dream!"
I have to say that even if they know that they are talking about the scene, the trainees still can't help but feel excited.
They began to enter the regiment for closed training in June, and it has now been nearly three months. These three months are the month they are closest to their dreams, and they are also the most motivated month.
From the first 100 trainees to rate training together, to the elimination of the remaining 22 trainees in competitions. It can be said that it is not easy to stay, but it is not enough. Only eleven people can form a group.
If it's not one of the 11 people, then in the end it will start from scratch.
Everyone has different minds, but the big goal is still the same—
Grasp the last chance, debut is the last obsession.
The contestants are grouped according to the lottery, and the songs can be selected by themselves.
Lu Xu and Song Zhe became the captains of the two teams respectively, and they were considered to be of equal strength.
When the team chooses songs, everyone expresses their opinions, always hoping to show the best song. As the captain, Lu Xu had the most say, and he said "wait" to his teammates and got up to find Tang Yanqing.
When he pushed the door in, Song Zhe was among them.
"Lu Xu, you just came here, Song Zhe wants to discuss something." Tang Yanqing waved when he saw Lu Xu, as if he was waiting for him.
"Huh?" Lu Xu looked at Song Zhe when he heard the words, and asked what was going on with his eyes.
Sooner or later, Song Zhe didn't want to hide from Lu Xu, so he smiled and explained to him: "I'm here to ask Director Tang if I can use the songs written by seniors, the ones that haven't come yet..."
The predecessor that Song Zhe said was actually Xu Xiangye, a popular singer whom his agent Li Haichao specially invited to help.
As a singer-songwriter who has become popular throughout the Chinese music scene not long after his debut, Xu Xiangye's popularity and talent are both first-class. Don't look at Xu Xiangye's popularity right now. When he first started casting songs, he was hitting a wall everywhere. It was Li Haichao who was very wise and knows the bead. After watching a section of his performance from the Internet, he felt that the young man was talented and signed it.
Xu Xiangye, who was already very strong, had the resources and exposure, and became popular overnight and instantly became the representative of the new generation of singer-songwriters.
Although the contract with Li Haichao has now expired, it can be regarded as his Bole anyway. Li Haichao asked Xu Xiangye to write a song for Song Zhe, and the other party naturally agreed.
In addition to a good song, on the other hand, I also want to take advantage of the popularity.
For them, this means that resources are connections, and there is nothing fair or unfair.
Song Zhe came to discuss with Tang Yanqing, and he also thought it would bring some heat to the program group.
It is good for a popular singer to write songs specifically for him. Tang Yanqing was not prepared to refuse, but he still had to consider the feelings of Lu Xu's group.
They are all trainees. Someone who writes songs and the other who has no mentality may 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. It was very happy to think of Lu Xu.
"Yes." Lu Xu originally came for Tao Yingbo's song, but Song Zhe first mentioned it and helped him save a lot of tongue. "In fact, I came here for the sake of the song..."
Lu Xu immediately said that Teacher Tao had left a song for him, with a generous tone: "I think it is good and meaningful. I just want to see if it can be used in the finals."
"Ms. Tao?"
Tang Yanqing and Song Zhe are still impressed by this talented composer who hasn't appeared since the beginning.
He changed the songs of Lu Xu's group before, which is better than original songs.
This kind of powerful but faceless creator is a curious existence, let alone the audience, even they all want to know who this teacher Tao is.
Only after the last performance, Teacher Tao announced his withdrawal from the competition through the mouth of Ji Xiunian, and there was no news after that.
Now that Lu Xu said Teacher Tao had written a song, Tang Yanqing naturally became interested.
Now both teams have original songs that can be sung, which is fair in some ways.
"Then it's settled. Bring the song over to the arranger teacher. If your team members have no objections, we can use the original."
Lu Xu exchanged glances with Song Zhe, then nodded at the same time: "Okay."
Coming out of the director's room, Song Zhe still didn't forget to encourage each other with Lu Xu: "It's the last scene, let's fight it."
Lu Xu nodded to Song Zhe: "Well, I'm fighting it!"
The two walked out a few steps, Song Zhe's thoughts were still a bit complicated.
At the beginning, almost everyone thought he would be the c-rank. At that time, regardless of his strength or popularity, he was the best one.
I didn't think that Lu Xu appeared in the middle, not only looks good, but also strong.
Li Haichao didn't deal with Bai Ze. He always felt that he had been pressed by Bai Ze before and was a bit unbalanced.
Finally, the newcomers launched by the two participated in the draft together, and Song Zhe's popularity was indeed higher than that of Lu Xu. Li Haichao said more than once to convince Bai Ze to lose.
As a result, after several games, Lu Xu's popularity was the same as that of the Rockets.
How cruel the words I put before, how painful my face is now being beaten.
Li Hai couldn't accept it supernaturally, and cheered Song Zhe more than once, asking him to suppress Lu Xu.
Song Zhe himself had no contradiction with Lu Xu, although he was a bit strange in his heart when he was suppressed. But everyone was fighting for strength, and he also admitted that Lu Xu was really strong.
Thinking about this, Song Zhe suddenly shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity to say that, I really want to try with your team. But this is going to be the finals and I haven't had a chance..."
Song Zhe was talking from the bottom of his heart. If they could be combined with Lu Xu, the strength of the two of them would definitely complement each other, and they would be able to make up for the scene of the stage burst.
Lu Xu looked at him a little disappointed, and said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case, if it goes well, we might be able to cooperate in the form of a combination in the future."
One is the most popular, and the other is second.
No matter what you think, the chances of forming a group are great.
When Lu Xu's words came out, Song Zhe only felt that he was suddenly enlightened, so he smiled happily: "Brother Xu, you are right, then we will all work hard and look forward to future cooperation!"
After all, Song Zhe is in his early twenties. Although he is a young man, he can find his youthful spirit after getting acquainted with him.
Lu Xu saw that these teammates had a child-oriented mentality, but all of them felt that they were children, and they always took care of themselves as if they were brothers.
Lu Xu could not explain that his 18-year-old was a fake, so he could only let them go.
When he returned to the practice room to meet his teammates, Lu Xu told them about Tao Yingbo's songwriting.
Knowing that Song Zhe and his team’s song came from Xu Xiangye, the teammates couldn’t help but wailing—
"My god, I found the little king to write a song, this hand is too strong."
"Oh, people are still original, can we really fight it?"
"What should I do, is it too late to find someone to write a song? Wait, I don't seem to know the boss of the song, it's like a dream..."
Everyone hadn't thought about what song to choose, but now they are even more confused.
Someone sighed and asked Lu Xu: "Then what should we do about Brother Xu?"
"We also have "Star Fall" written by Teacher Tao. You can consider how to use this song..."
"Written by Teacher Tao?!" Xu Lele and the others were very excited when they heard the name.
"Wow, is it Teacher Tao who changed the song for you before? I can!!!"
"Hurry up, let it out and listen, suddenly I feel a lot more at ease in my heart."
Tao Yingbo gave the score at the time, and Lu Xu recorded it in advance for everyone's convenience and hummed it briefly.
Even if it is a cappella, it makes people feel that this song is too amazing.
There are no gorgeous words and no traditional love, but the tune drifts to the audience's psychology inexplicably.
"He said he had dreams, like stars shining in the sky..."
"The accident is like a joke, taking away his dreams..."
"He was as dazzling as a star, and then tended to dim..."
"Those unfulfilled dreams fall into the dust together with the ashes..."
Lu Xu's voice was warm and powerful, and he told a story in a calm tone.
There are many people in the world, and everyone has their own dreams. Some water chestnuts are flattened by life, and dreams are also backlogged.
There is a saying that many people die at the age of 25, because the days after that are repeated every day.
They all want to be different people, but in the end they are no different.
Some people died on the road to chasing dreams, and their dreams were drowned with the flesh.
Many times, after the dream is gone, death is the same or the same.
The first half sounds a bit embarrassing, but the lyrics of the latter part have changed context.
Even if the body is buried with the dream, as long as you can find your original intention, everything will have meaning and there will be no time.
Regardless of whether the dream is destroyed or dead, there are always traces of its existence.
"We are all old, but there is always someone young forever. Maybe it was you who died in your 20s, or the dream that died in your early twenties..."
Singing to the end is relief and memorial, perhaps memorializing the dead, or perhaps the once alive self.
No matter how you understand it, it depends on what the listener thinks in the end.
It took a long time for the teammates to come back to their senses after Lu Xu finished singing.
After a while, everyone unanimously raised their hands and said that the final will be set.
