Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 116 This is not rap, this is chanting
We had dinner and rested for a while, and the subsequent recording continued in an orderly manner.

As the night progressed, the recording process was already more than halfway completed, and it was finally the turn of the trainees from Lehua Entertainment to perform on stage.

"Hey Shen Juan, this is your company!" Zhou Jieqiong, who was sitting on the far left of the judging panel, turned her head and smiled at Shen Juan on the other side, and the other mentors followed suit.

And not only Shen Juan, but Cheng Xiao also belongs to Le Hua.

so.
While other trainees of the same period were performing on the stage, they were sitting on the judges' bench commenting. They were all very curious about how Shen Juan and Cheng Xiao would react.

Especially Shen Juan.

After all, Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting, two of Le Hua's seven trainees, were contestants who participated in "Produce 202" with him in South Korea half a year ago.

As a result, half a year later, Shen Juan had transformed himself into a mentor who commented on their performance and decided their life or death.

As for Shen Juan, will he be soft-hearted and lenient, opening a back door for his old friends, or will he show a stricter side to avoid suspicion?
All very curious.

For the two contestants, not everyone can bear the feeling of being left behind and looking at their friend's back while their friend suddenly ascends to the top.

"Yes, I'm quite looking forward to their next performance, because I heard that they have been practicing in the company for a long time and everyone is working very hard." Shen Juan replied generously.

Although he felt more or less nervous and worried for them, he didn't know the other people, but Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting were definitely his friends. But at this time, in order to prevent others from gossiping and bringing bad influence to them, he could only speak as little as possible.

At the same time, the group of trainees with different moods in the stands behind the instructor also started a discussion.

“The most anticipated group.”

“Trainees from big companies are very talented.”

"Justin and Zhu Zhengting are both contestants who participated in another talent show with Teacher Shen Juan."

"Ah? Wouldn't it be awkward for them to see Teacher Shen Juan sitting in the audience and commenting on them?"

"Maybe they don't care about these things at all. After all, not everyone is a genius like Teacher Shen Juan."

"Yeah, anyway, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't feel embarrassed. It's not shameful to lose to Teacher Shen Juan."

"Even if he can't beat Teacher Shen, we trainees from small companies can't challenge him."

"Oh, what you said is too realistic."

Although the trainees in the audience are optimistic about Le Hua's contestants and even think that they have already reserved several debut spots, everything will ultimately be decided on stage.

Then, seven exquisite young men in uniform lined up on the stage and bowed to everyone.

Then introduce yourself in turn:

Chengcheng Fan, Quanzhe Li, Xinchun Huang, Wenjun Bi, Justin, Zhengting Zhu, and Zeren Ding.

"Hey, I have a question. Have we met somewhere before?" Zhang Yixing picked up the microphone and cue Ding Zeren who had just introduced himself in a fluent broadcasting voice.

They were both trainees of SM Entertainment before, but Ding Zeren later felt that NCT did not have a place for him and there was no hope for his debut, so he switched to Le Hua.

"Hey, I have a question too. Have we met Justin and Zhu Zhengting somewhere before?" Shen Juan followed suit and cueed his two friends.

The two of them were delighted, knowing that Shen Juan was using his popularity to help them get some screen time, so they quickly responded in unison: "Ah, yes, yes, Teacher Shen Juan, we may have met on another talent show."

"You slept on the bunk above me at that time and often asked me to turn off the lights at night. Then one time you hid snacks under my pillow and caused me to be scolded by the election officials." Huang Minghao, who was only 15 years old, had a baby face and smiled harmlessly.

"At that time, we often practiced in the practice room before the performance. Every time we returned to the dormitory after practice, I was the one who closed the door and lights of the practice room." Zhu Zhengting also quickly started thinking about the experience at that time.

"Is there such a thing?" Shen Juan raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe it was because we were too weak at that time and we were not worthy of your approval." Huang Minghao has a talent for performing sketches.

"So how is your strength now?"

“It’s definitely better than it was six months ago!”

Zhu Zhengting held his head high and showed his confidence.

"In that case, let's see you on stage."

"I am also looking forward to your performance." Cheng Xiao, who is also an artist of Le Hua, also took the opportunity to say something.

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Shen and Mr. Cheng."

After a short preparation time, background music sounded and the seven trainees got into position and began their performance.

The expression song is "EOEO" by UNIQ.

"EOEO, throw away the shackles that imprison your mind."

"KioKio, the whole world is here to take pictures for you."

Frankly speaking, having watched many top boy bands and top singers perform on stage, Shen Juan felt that the performance of this song was mediocre.

It's the kind of person who, even if he can make his debut, will definitely not be able to attract fans with his real strength. He is at the 60-point level.

But considering that their competitors are not those well-known boy band idols after all, and this program is not about professional ability, but audience appeal.

So just comment however you want!
Anyway, even if they were given an F, Kiwi, who controlled the camera allocation for each trainee, would probably have a way to devise a counterattack script for them and bring them back. After the two-minute group performance, the trainees' individual talent show began.

Zhu Zhengting and Ding Zeren performed a dance.

Fan Chengcheng was asked by Wang Jiaer to rap.

I don’t know if it was because he was too nervous to go on the first stage of his life with the name Bingdi, or because he didn’t write the lyrics and didn’t memorize them well, but he forgot the lyrics halfway through the performance.

In the end, Ding Zeren, Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting got A, Bi Wenjun and Fan Chengcheng got D, and then Huang Xinchun and Li Quanzhe got F.

The following performances also amazed or frightened several mentors.

Qian Zhenghao's singing of "City of Stars" was recognized by Li Ronghao and Shen Juan. Li Ronghao thought that he had a nice voice, and Shen Juan thought that he had good taste.

Sure enough, the trainees of Guoran Entertainment gave the most outstanding performance so far, and the little kid who often performed on the stage of concerts and music festivals in later generations was among them.

Then there were trainees from an unknown company who, in order to get some screen time, took a radical approach and said they were fans of Shen Juan and really liked his rap.

Then, during the personal talent show, he bravely sang "Throne", the song that Shen Juan DISS Everybody on the final stage of "There's Hip Hop in China".

What is the stage effect presented?
To be precise, it was the effect of the show that made several mentors, including Shen Juan, open their eyes wide.

Is this really rapping instead of chanting?
Dude, you are the male version of Qin Niu Zhengwei and you are good at reciting!
"So is there any special reason why you chose to sing this song in this segment? I feel like the lyrics are not suitable for a talent show, and if you really want to show off your rap skills, you should write your own lyrics instead of covering an existing song."

Shen Juan's evaluation should be considered very respectful.

Let’s not talk about the abstract singing.

This guy doesn't even want to write his own lyrics.

If this happened during the recording of "Hip-Hop in China", this trainee would probably be giving him the middle finger before he even finishes his performance.

You can use other people’s music, but not the lyrics; you can sing other people’s songs, but not during competitions.

This is a rule unique to the Kazakhstan circle.

Of course, singing classic songs by hip-hop masters like Eminem and Kanye is not within the scope of this rule.

"Yes, I agree with Teacher Shen Juan's point of view. You should write lyrics and sing about your own feelings instead of singing other people's stories. Do you understand what I mean?" Ouyang Jing rarely had the opportunity to speak, so naturally he had to prove that he was not a salary thief who lived off others.

“Well, actually, I thought Mr. Shen looked very cool on the stage of the China National Hip-Hop Finals, so I wanted to sing this song to pay tribute to my idol.”

"Then I think you are more suitable to sing another song "Don't Be Afraid of Getting Old", because Love and peace are what idols need, not anger." Shen Juan's facial expression was stable, but he kept complaining in his heart.

Even if you are good at licking, you can't act recklessly on the stage of the first evaluation under the name of my fan.
However, this guy is his fan on the surface after all. If he is not taken seriously, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the outside world and disappoint the fans who like him.

So Shen Juan quickly smiled again and added encouragement: "But it doesn't matter. We all come here to learn and improve ourselves. Your current low foundation means that there will be a lot of room for improvement in the future. We have so many teachers on site who can guide you to improve."

In Shen Juan's understanding, this guy will probably choose to develop in the rap direction in the future, so the ones who will be in trouble will be Wang Jiaer and Ouyang Jing who are responsible for rap.

As long as it doesn't concern you, it doesn't matter.

Just don't bother me.

The recording went on intermittently until four in the morning. The trainees who had already finished their performances were drowsy, and Shen Juan was about to collapse in the judging panel.

The atmosphere became a little down.

So after a week of observation, Zhang Yixing picked up the microphone and reminded: "That... all of our trainees who haven't performed yet, be careful not to let your voice and body fall asleep, because it's already very late in the morning, and the body is easy to get locked up, just like our teacher Shen Juan who is already very sleepy now."

"Alex, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Wang Jiaer spoke in non-standard Mandarin and expressed his concern in a very exaggerated tone and gesture. Of course, the main purpose was definitely to create a show effect.

"I was wrong last night. I attended an award ceremony in Shanghai the night before yesterday, and then flew back to Beijing. I came here at nine o'clock yesterday morning to participate in the program recording. Add to that the time I had to get up early to do my makeup and hair, and the time I spent on the road. You should be able to guess how many hours I slept yesterday."

Shen Juan imitated Ge Da Ge slumped in a chair in a very comedic spirit, leaving behind a funny picture that was screenshotted by fans and made into emoticons. He has never had any idol baggage. If he sometimes looks pretentious? It's only because the situation at the time requires him to be serious.

"Oh wow wow, that's really dirty!" Zhang Yixing thought he had worked hard enough, but when he heard that Shen Juan was more tired than him, he instantly started smiling, and even his eyes, which were slightly narrowed due to sleepiness, opened a lot wider.

“Do you work that hard?”

Ouyang Jing had previously been a marginal figure in the entertainment industry and had never been involved in such a high-intensity schedule transfer.

"Popular artists like him work very hard, and their schedules are basically full every day." Zhou Jieqiong answered the question for Shen Juan who was lying on the table.

She seemed to want to have a good relationship with Shen Juan very much, and during this period of time she would find topics to talk to Shen Juan whenever she had time.

"I have some chocolate here, do you want some?" Cheng Xiao hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but take out the mysterious snacks he had hidden to express his concern for Shen Juan.

"What chocolate?"

Shen Juan opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Xiao.

"Of course it's dark chocolate!"

Shen Juan was stunned for a moment, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Cheng Xiao forced a fairly restrained smile, trying not to look so sweet.
