Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 115 First Stage Recording

The meeting ended quickly.

Several instructors returned to their respective lounges to rest and adjust, and also changed into their second set of clothes for the day.

At the same time, trainees from various companies also began to enter the venue one after another to choose their ratings and seats.

The vast majority chose the moderate options C and D.

Only a small number of people who are absolutely confident in their own abilities or want to create topics for discussion give themselves an A.

For example, Shen Juan, who was in South Korea at the time, chose the highest A rating in order to stand out as much as possible and gain attention from the outside world so as to avoid being cut off by the program team.

Moreover, in the early stage, he also performed a script of "Sacrificing to the Demon King", and competed with South Korean trainees as a Chinese trainee, and cooperated very well with the program team.

Although there is a high probability that he will drop to second place due to vote manipulation on the night of the final, the gap between the C positions in the early stage has already proved who is the real popular king of PD202.

This is also the main reason why even though Shen Juan has not been active in South Korea for such a long time after withdrawing from the competition and returning to China, there is still a group of fans who silently follow and support him there.

He is undoubtedly the white moonlight of the talent show who will always have a place in the hearts of many South Korean girls and will never be forgotten.

Of course, this part can actually be used to compete with the financial strength of each contestant and each company.

The clothing and accessories purchased by large companies for their trainees are obviously more than one level higher than those purchased by small companies.

For example, when Shen Juan participated in the first stage recording of PD101 in South Korea, he wore very ordinary clothes.

The whole look is ordinary and ordinary, and it is only supported by the face.

But I didn't expect that after returning to China, I found out that Le Hua is so powerful among these domestic companies. It really proves the old saying "It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix".

In the domestic entertainment industry, Lehua, which owns UNIQ and a small part of Cosmic Girls, can definitely be called a first-tier idol company.

After nearly two hours of lively fun, all 100 seats were occupied. The mentors came on stage amid the cheers of the crowd, and the national producer representative Zhang Yixing read out the rules of the competition.

To put it simply, several mentors will give ratings based on each trainee's specific performance on stage.

There are five levels from A to F, A represents the best, F represents not ready yet, and there is no E in between.

The mentors came to the judging panel and took their seats. The first group to perform on stage were six trainees from Mairui Entertainment.

Among them, a trainee named Yu Mingjun, who had only been training for three months, attracted the attention of several instructors.

Because Lai Guanlin of WANNA ONE, who debuted as a group through the South Korean idol audition program "Produce 202" that Shen Juan participated in, is his good friend.

Moreover, some time ago, he posted a special support video for him on Weibo, calling on fans to vote for him.

In fact, busy people like Shen Juan, Zhang Yixing and Wang Jiaer will definitely not pay attention to these trivial matters.

When Li Xiaolu called him for support on Weibo, he was a bit indifferent, let alone Lai Guanlin, a small idol who few people know in China?

But the program team will pay attention.

After all, the prototype of Idol Producer is PD202, so this can be considered a topic that can bring traffic to the show.

So after receiving instructions from the program team, several mentors expressed their surprise very politely, and then said that they were very much looking forward to what kind of performance they would bring.

then
Then I disappointed several mentors.

It was one of those performances that had absolutely no highlights.

Including Yu Mingjun’s personal dance test.

Producer representative Zhang Yixing first commented:

"When you are doing the rolling action, you can't use all your strength. How can you roll if you use force? You are essentially locking yourself in this frame. If it is a bigger platform, it may be more balanced when doing the action."

If the buzzword brought out by Wu Jiaheng through The Rap of China is "freestyle", then the buzzword brought out by Zhang Yixing through Idol Producer is probably "balance".

Their teams are very reliable and capable, and are good at seizing opportunities to create popularity and traffic for artists.

Dance instructor Cheng Xiao was the one who laughed out loud: "Maybe it's because I was too nervous to be the first one to perform on stage."

In talent shows, tolerant and friendly mentors are generally more likely to win the love of the audience and the favor of passers-by.

But someone has to show the tough side.

Therefore, Zhang Yixing and Shen Juan, who have the highest status among the mentors and need the least of these illusory audience and passerby popularity, took the initiative to volunteer to take on the job of playing the good guy.

So it was the turn of music instructor Shen Juanshi
"I don't know if you're not ready, or if you're too nervous to be the first on stage, but why are your dance moves so stiff and weak? If you can't even handle a half-open-mic stage well, then I will think that you haven't reached my passing standard yet and are not ready."

Even more merciless than PD Zhang.

Therefore, the rating obtained from the discussion will not be too high.

There is no one at ABC level.

Three people at D level and three people at F level.

In order to set the tone for the show and give a strict scoring standard to the trainees who will perform on stage later, this first group of trainees will have to suffer a bit.

As the results came out, a burst of whispers came from the stands behind the instructors, and it was obvious that they were frightened by the comments given by the two instructors in succession.

Isn't Zhang PD always a harmless little sheep who gets bullied in other programs? Why is he so strict in our program? His cold face is so scary.

As for Shen Juan?
They weren't too surprised.

After all, there have been rumors in the fan circle that Shen Juan likes to show off and has a bad temper. Combined with his previous feat of rudely criticizing the rappers in the audience on the final stage of "China's Hip-Hop", this makes people imagine
Thus, the image of a cold and arrogant guy who never smiles, who does what makes him unhappy, and who makes them envy, admire and fear him at the same time, emerges.

This made everyone a little afraid of Shen Juan.

Then Dong Yanlei from Ciwen Media came on stage, which is the Ciwen that often produces hit dramas.

The company is very strong.

And this contestant is also quite abstract.

The total practice time is ten days.

And it is the result of rounding.

However, when introducing himself, he was very confident, humorous and not at all stage frightened, so several mentors smiled and gave him encouragement.

For trainees who are clearly not aiming to debut as a group, we will naturally have a different attitude towards them.

Then, a half-open-mic performance of "Love Is Not a Choice" with original vocals successfully made Li Ronghao, who arrived at the recording site in time to meet up with everyone, laugh out loud from the bottom of his heart.

"You're not out of tune, but your beat is wrong." He made the comment rudely with his eyes closed.

Shen Juan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It seems that our brother Rong Hao is also quite humorous. The game continues.

Another locking dancer who had won awards in global competitions came up, making Wang Jiaer extremely excited.

The dance was really awesome and the audience cheered, and it also received unanimous praise from several instructors.

Except PD Zhang.

It’s the same old saying, there’s a problem with the balance.

And they only dance, not sing.

So the final rating was B, not A.

Apparently, this is another mercenary that the program crew paid specially to hire to add value to the lineup of contestants.

Then, groups of trainees continued to perform, with many recording pauses and intermissions in between, but no trainee appeared who left a deep impression or was eye-catching.

There was not even one trainee who got an A.

However, the program team actually has a reason for arranging the order in which the contestants appear. They know when to release talented contestants to achieve the best effect.

So when several mentors were a little numb, the first explosive point of today's episode appeared.

Wearing a royal blue jacket with a mysterious black fishnet outfit underneath, Cai Xukun, who was going for a glamorous and flirtatious personal trainee look, made a brilliant appearance amid the low exclamations of all the trainees.

"I rely on!"

"Is Cai Xukun so exaggerated?"

"His look is invincible."

The trainees below the stage have already started whispering to each other.

"He is so handsome!" Zhu Zhengting couldn't help but sigh.

"envious."

Ding Zeren, who has practiced in South Korea for many years and met many boy band idols, has to admit that Kun Kun has a delicate idol face that is very suitable for appearing on stage.

"Is my brother Juan as handsome as our teacher Shen?" Huang Minghao is an unwavering filial son.

"That's definitely not the case." After catching up on "Produce 202" recently, Fan Chengcheng also began to admire Shen Juan.

The reason is simple: Shen Juan looks so handsome with his colorful hairstyle and idol makeup!
In the mentor seat, Shen Juan was holding back his smile as he looked at his old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time and who had suddenly changed.

The chin has obviously become much sharper, and obvious signs of bone shaving can be seen from the side.

It seems that in order to change his fate with this show, he must have lain on the cold operating table many times during this period.

"Is he the friend you were talking about? The clothes inside are really..." Wang Jiaer obviously couldn't understand or comprehend Kun Kun's eye-popping aesthetic taste.

"Well, we participated in another talent show together before." Shen Juan was also a little embarrassed, but he had to admit that such a unique outfit could indeed leave a deep impression on the audience watching this show. As long as he performed well in the future, there was a high probability that he would gain a large number of fans.

All I can say is that KunKun understands fans and talent shows.

Isn’t this just a long-faced and narrow-faced version of Lu Han?

"I saw on his resume that he was once a member of the boy band SWIN, so why didn't you debut in the end?"

"There was a problem with the contract the company gave me, so I didn't sign it."

"Did I ask a question I shouldn't have asked?"

"It's okay, it will be cut out later."

Offstage, Shen Juan and Wang Jiaer were chatting non-stop.

On the stage, Cai Xukun also began to introduce himself.

"Hello teachers, my name is Cai Xukun."

"Are you going to perform your own original work?" Zhang Yixing looked at the stack of materials in his hand and asked the first question.

"Yes! This song is the first one I wrote and composed." Cai Xukun smiled confidently.

“Then why did you write this song?”

“I wrote this song during a time when I was under a lot of pressure. I didn’t want to disappoint the people who like me and wanted to bring more good music to them.”

On the stage, Kun Kun was talking freely.

And below the stage, several instructors suddenly discovered something in the materials in their hands and started laughing.

"From the lyrics, we can tell that you are under a lot of pressure. I'm obsessed with your body, baby girl. You just said that this song was written for your fans, right? How did you come up with these lyrics?" Shen Juan couldn't help laughing and joined the ranks of those who asked questions to Kun Kun.

Man, this is too abstract. It's said that this is a song written for fans, but it ends up saying I'm obsessed with your body.

It turns out that this buddy has started to learn from his senior Chris at this time. Shen Juan has discovered a new world.

The trainees in the audience suddenly became noisy, and they all crossed their arms and told each other not to be obsessed with my body.

Cai Xukun on the stage was also extremely embarrassed and quickly denied Shen Juan's statement, explaining sheepishly:
"No, no, this is not written for my fans. There are only one or two lines in the lyrics that can express my feelings for my fans, such as "If you need me, I will be your side". It means when they need me, I hope I can always be by their side."

Since he has said that, Shen Juan naturally will not pursue the issue relentlessly. There must be a limit to teasing friends for the effect of the show. Once it goes too far, it will become a trap for others.

"Okay, then start your show."

After a very sexy solo performance, several teachers gave their comments and feedback in turn.

To be honest, if we look at this stage according to the standards of a debut, it is undoubtedly very ordinary and mediocre.

The singing skills are average, the dancing is average, the lyrics are average, and the rap part doesn't leave a particularly deep impression.

Although it is original, it is very ordinary.

However, he has a good-looking face that is loved by female fans, and his overall strength is definitely in the top tier among the domestic trainees of varying quality.

can only say.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

The first A of the day was given out.

Shen Juan also gave encouraging applause to this old friend whose debut experience was much more bumpy than his own.
