Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 95 The first stage

Another waiting room.

"You mean Ni Ni is alone with the director now?"

"Yes, Sister Nini said she has something to tell Brother."

In just a moment.

Like groundhogs raising their heads in surprise, Moon Hyun-ah, Kang Eun-hye, and Kim Yoon-ji all turned their attention to the situation.

Wen Xuanya: Are we too slow again?

Jiang Enhui: She kept telling me to behave more restrained, but wasn't she bewitched by a vixen?

Kim Yoon-ji: Is it that exciting?

"Sister Hannah, is there a problem?"

Kang Hanna didn't know what to say.

All I can say is that Ni Shi is incredibly audacious; how could she act so forcefully in such an important setting?

Han Shuo is the same.

I gave him enough the night before, so why are you being so indulgent today?

Don't say you didn't know beforehand. With Han Shuo's intelligence, if he didn't want to give it to her, Ni Shi would have absolutely no chance of staying alone.

"It's nothing."

She also had to cover for the two of them, so that no one in the room would notice anything: "Someone said they wanted to visit the director and asked if it was convenient for me."

In the studio.

Wen Yu and Han Jianshe walked into the audience.

"Uncle, Auntie~"

The artists and trainees from Fanxing Entertainment all stood up to greet them.

This is the debut stage for our own board members, and no one wants to miss this opportunity.

Actors from Fanxing Entertainment, including Lee Ryu-hee and Moon Ga-young, as well as all trainees including Jeon Bo-ram and Lee Qri, were present.

Their accents varied widely, but their respectful attitude was consistent.

"Please sit down."

Wen Yu smiled and gestured for everyone to take their seats.

She wasn't quite used to such enthusiastic greetings.

However, everyone remained standing, with Ziguang closely following her.

Shin Yoon-joo reminded her to sit down first, and that everyone would handle things accordingly.

Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, without her saying anything, all the girls around her followed suit.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that a few girls seemed to be paying special attention to her, and their eyes kept glancing at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps it was simply a curious glance, or perhaps it was another way of expressing respect.

It can only be said that the hierarchical structure is quite prominent in South Korea.

aside.

As the team leader of Tsingtao Beer's marketing department, Han Jianshe was used to welcoming and seeing off guests, and he was able to handle it calmly.

He asked in a low voice, "Yoonjoo, I heard that these kinds of shows award trophies. Will Seok-hyuk be able to win one this time?"

The other two families present also perked up their ears.

During the half-day they flew here, their daughter had already explained to them just how popular Han Shuo was.

However, digital audio sources and album sales are completely incomprehensible to the former and invisible to the latter.

This makes it difficult for people to have a clear understanding of Han Shuo's popularity.

These music shows feature artists who release songs around the same time competing on the same stage, relying on album sales and popularity to vie for the top prize.

This is the most tangible thing.

If a foreign singer can defeat numerous local singers, then it goes without saying how amazing Han Shuo is.

"Uncle, Music Core abolished the number one ranking system many years ago. It is the only music show among the three major networks that does not have a number one ranking."

Shin Yoon-joo patiently explained the rules of music shows to everyone.

The three major terrestrial stations plus the cable music station together run four music shows.

A total score will be calculated based on factors such as the singer's album sales, digital music sales, broadcast ratings, popularity, and votes.

The person with the highest score wins first place in that round.

The specific statistical categories and proportions of the scores will vary depending on the program.

Some fractional items still have gray areas and room for manipulation.

However, a single system can relatively scientifically reflect a singer's market appeal, and it is an achievement certification that all singers should strive for.

Once a new singer wins the first place, their value will increase several times over.

However, the scores for each item in the statistics are based on data from last week.

In other words, this week's scores, such as digital music streaming, sales, and broadcast ratings, will be included in next week's score statistics.

Considering that Mnet's music show will be suspended next Thursday, Hanseok will not be able to compete for first place until next Friday's "Music Bank" at the earliest.

"But actually, given Oppa's current achievements and performance, he's almost guaranteed to get two first place rankings next week."

Shin Yoon-joo said with a serious expression and a firm tone, "Anyone who dares not to give it to him must be involved in something shady."

"Yeah?"

Having secured a trophy early on, all three families present understood the significance of this achievement.

In the final five minutes before the broadcast, staff from Star Entertainment and MBC paraded around the venue, distributing green support balloons to fans.

To the surprise of the three families, even though some audience members already had balloons of various colors, they still asked for one or two green balloons.

"Oppa is very popular, and everyone is willing to support him."

Shin Yoon-joo's eyes sparkled.

Unfortunately, taking photos and videos is not allowed on the set of the music show, otherwise she would definitely have recorded this scene on camera and told Han Seok about it after the broadcast.

Hopefully, the PD will show some shots of the audience later.

Han Jianshe was a little uncomfortable with this overly enthusiastic way of showing support: "Just give me one."

It was a little after 3 p.m.

Music Core broadcast begins.

The opening act was performed by Cécile, a French harpist.

A single, ethereal note from "Take Me Hand" seems to transport you to a world of fairies, cleansing your soul completely.

Who would have thought that humans could produce such ethereal and clear sounds?

The entire audience was completely absorbed.

This was the first time most of the people present had heard a song composed by Han Shuo live, and even though Han Shuo himself did not sing the song, it still won a standing ovation.

In fact, this stage performance was pre-recorded.

The live performance that the audience saw was relatively simple.

Cecil conquered everyone with just a harp and its simple tone.

The actual footage delivered to every household features more refined stage design.

Against the backdrop of an exquisite forest setting, a hazy white mist lingers throughout:

Dressed in a pristine white performance outfit and adorned with a wreath of grass and flowers, Cecil sat on a wooden post, singing like an elf, leading the audience on a journey through the free world of music.

"Music Core is not worthy of this song; the stage for this song should be a grand performance theater."

The unexpectedly high level of performance caused the show's real-time viewership to skyrocket.

The control room backstage at the music center.

The PD happily coordinated everything.

Han Shuo is the lucky star of their show.

They first purchased the copyright for sixteen years, giving the production team a bonus, and then placed the first stage performance in [the film/TV series].

The show, "Music Center," garnered significant attention.

I must treat Han Seok to dinner after the broadcast ends.

In order to perfectly capitalize on the attention brought by Han Shuo's popularity, his two performances were placed in the middle and the final segment of the show, respectively.

The program is halfway through.

Han Shuo and nine backup dancers arrived at the stage entrance.

Currently, the hosts of "Music Core" are T.O.P of BigBang and Min Sunye and Ahn Sohee of Wonder Girls.

The former is a top-tier boy group, YG Entertainment's rising stars; the latter is a popular rookie girl group, whose hit song "T" was released last year.

elIMe is incredibly popular.

Even so, they still have to rely on frequent appearances on shows to maintain the group's popularity.

He doesn't want to go, nor does he need to take this inefficient publicity route.

With the aura of an entrepreneurial idol, as long as the company continues to grow and can keep launching novel and interesting games, his popularity will not diminish.

With high-quality songs to boost his career and the unique promotional channels on Bilibili, he will only continue to rise rapidly.

It's the TV station that needs him, not the other way around.

With exaggerated and flamboyant introductions from the three hosts and under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Han Shuo and his nine-member dance troupe took to the stage.

"Next up, please welcome Han Shuo to perform Tr—'Trap'!"

Under the powerful rhythm of the synthesizer, the dance, practiced countless times, was presented with precision in this moment.

What does it mean to be perfectly uniform?

K-pop places the most emphasis on stage performance.

The nine backup dancers, all over 1.7 meters tall, and Han Shuo, who is 1.85 meters tall, simply standing together and dancing together created a visually stunning effect.

The perfectly coordinated sword dance further amplifies this characteristic.

Even the cameraman behind the lens couldn't stop smiling.

The makeup and styling of the backup dancers in this performance were, to some extent, copied from Girls' Generation's "I Got Boy":

Baseball cap, baseball uniform, baseball socks, and pure white sneakers.

Even the small accessories she carries are replicated to a certain extent, with pink hairbands and sparkling eye makeup—the cost of the makeup alone rivals that of many popular idols.

Of course, I only copied a part of it.

The makeup and styling for each of the nine backup dancers will be a concentrated replica of the makeup and styling essence of a specific scene from "Igotaboy".

A person with high emotional intelligence would say: Girls' Generation is the main focus, and their purpose is to attract attention. Each of the nine members has their own unique characteristics, and the backup dancers are just that—backup dancers—and should not overshadow the main group.

A low-EQ perspective: Some makeup and costume designs, especially stage outfits, are really ugly, and there's no need to replicate them all.

Their outstanding looks, enviable figures, and lavish makeup and styling have deeply imprinted the youthful beauty of the nine members in the eyes of every viewer.

Surrounded by a multitude of stars and positioned in the center of attention, Han Shuo only shines brighter.

With vocal skills far exceeding those of newcomers, precise and perfect dance moves with comfortable intensity, and a composed and self-assured demeanor, she seems to have been born for the stage.

A sense of discontinuity, unlike the previous stage performances of the singers, swept over every audience member.

It's as if the world before us was all in standard definition, but when it was Han Shuo's turn on stage, the world suddenly became high definition.

Standard definition is good; it protects your eyes.

High definition is great, it's good for the eyes.

Her stage presence was so powerful it was like a game-changer, which earned her the most enthusiastic support from the fans in the audience.

Countless coral-green balloons swayed within, slowly converging into a green ocean.

Even the most reserved person would be influenced by such a lively atmosphere.

"Why don't you have much strength? Give it to me!"

Han Jianshe snatched a balloon from his wife Wen Yu and waved it enthusiastically in support.

I never mentioned it again, even though I felt embarrassed before.

If it weren't for the fact that they were recording a show and he wasn't required to follow the rules, he would definitely have stood up and shouted loudly to support his brat.

Look, that's my son, my son.

Girls' Generation (ignore the ugly pants).
