N-M Chapter 919 Before the Debut
Chapter 919 Before the Debut
Restaurant in the Yancheng Studio Building of Xinan TV.
"Xia Haoyang, come and sit down."
Among the judges, Teacher Pei was most familiar with Xia Haoyang and greeted him naturally.
"Hello, Teacher Pei, and hello, everyone." Xia Haoyang walked to the side of several judges and guests carrying some food, pulled out the chair next to Teacher Pei, and sat down.
"How is Jingyi?" Teacher Pei asked.
Xia Haoyang glanced at everyone and said a little embarrassedly: "Fortunately, I went to the crew today."
"Still filming? Didn't she let her rest more at home?"
Xia Haoyang was a little slow to react and didn't know what to say.
"Are you embarrassed to say it? Jingyi's pregnancy is no secret in the circle, and you didn't deliberately hide it. Everyone here knows it, otherwise why would you come to this show as a judge?" Teacher Pei said with a smile.
"It's not that I'm sorry, I also want Jingyi to rest more at home, but some activities were arranged before. It's still convenient to move now and my belly is not obvious, so I'll finish them first." Xia Haoyang explained.
"I haven't congratulated Mr. Xia yet." Mr. Liu Ming, the chief composer of Chiyo Records, spoke up next to him.
"Yes, congratulations, President Xia. I also sent a text message to Jingyi to congratulate her." Lin Yang Huiyun also took the opportunity to say.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Xia Haoyang responded somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mr. Xia promised to write a song for me." Lin Yang Huiyun said in a somewhat coquettish tone.
"No problem. I haven't prepared anything today. I will prepare your song for the next episode when I come over." Xia Haoyang smiled and nodded at Lin Yang Huiyun.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xia." Lin Yang Huiyun blinked quickly, clenched her fists in front of her chest, and looked full of admiration.
When Taiwanese girls act coquettishly, they are no different from other girls.
Hearing this, Liu Ming and Dongzheng Records' music director Awei immediately looked at Xia Haoyang.
"Don't worry, I will bring the songs I promised you next week." Xia Haoyang quickly expressed his opinion.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the judges' table became much more lively and everyone was in a good mood.
Although they were all eating in the same restaurant, the contestants knew that their identities and status were quite different from those of the judges and they would not sit next to them. The closest people would be several tables away, so they were not afraid of being overheard by the students when they chatted.
"Several of these students are really good. If they can be trained well and have suitable songs, their future will be limitless. They may be the next Yu Chun or Wen Jie." As a judge of this program and having spent the past few days with them, Teacher Liu Ming really appreciates several of the students.
Yu Chun and Wen Jie, especially the former, can be said to be the most popular idols to emerge from China's TV talent shows, influencing an entire era.
In the "Singer" program of Xinan TV last year, Yuchun, who was the last to appear, won the championship in the finals with her super popularity, and still maintains a strong influence. Although she has been a little quiet in recent years due to the lack of outstanding works, no one can ignore her existence. The female singers who debuted through talent shows in those years, represented by Yuchun, are the backbone of the Chinese music scene that cannot be ignored.
Teacher Liu Ming also hopes that through the production of this program, he can once again discover a group of outstanding singers worthy of appreciation for the Chinese music scene in the next 20 years.
"Oh? I wonder which singers can get such appreciation from Teacher Liu Ming." Xia Haoyang has not stayed here like the other mentors in the past few days, so he is not as familiar with these students as the other mentors.
“When it comes to singing ability, of course it’s Sejeong, who comes from Guona Records. Her high notes are amazing and very stable. Her musicality and voice are the best among this group of students. But when it comes to stage performance, Hong Kong Dongzheng’s Somi is the most generous. As long as she doesn’t go astray and develops normally, she will definitely become very popular and will not be inferior to the previous generation’s Hong Kong female idol G.E.M.” Teacher Liu Ming blurted out.
Several other mentors also nodded, and seemed very satisfied with the two people mentioned by Teacher Liu Ming. And Ah Wei, the music director of Xiangjiang Dongzheng, smiled and was full of confidence in Zhao Mi, the singer under his company.
"Okay, then I'll observe everyone's performance tonight."
Relatively speaking, Xia Haoyang doesn't care much. Who is good or bad has nothing to do with him. He doesn't have the same sense of historical mission as Teacher Liu Ming, who wants to cultivate a group of music talents to support China's next 20 years.
Punch in at work and leave on time, that’s all Xia Haoyang thought about.
In the first stage, there were 6 programs from 11 classes; except for the nine people in Class A, there were two groups of singers from Class B to Class F singing the same song, which meant that the two songs from the same class were in a PK competition system.
The competition system is not complicated. To put it simply, two groups of singers in Class B compete against each other. The losing side will be demoted to Class C, and the one with the lowest audience voting score will be eliminated directly and leave the stage. The winning side will continue to remain in Class B, and the one with the highest audience voting score will be promoted to Class A. Whether others can be promoted to Class A is decided by the judges.
The same is true for Class C, Class D and Class E, but Class F will be more cruel, as the entire losing team will be eliminated instead of just one person.
Only the nine people in Class A will not be eliminated in this round, but those with the lowest audience voting points in each round will definitely leave Class A, and after each round of stage shows, the judges will re-determine the candidates for Class A.
So no one is safe and everyone needs to work hard to perform.
As the time for the first public stage show approached, a tense atmosphere spread among the trainees. Everyone was putting on makeup backstage. The 100 trainees were using two large dressing rooms, and everyone was together. At this time, an unpleasant little incident happened.
Two female students who were once familiar with each other had an argument over a lipstick.
This lipstick is a limited edition and is hard to buy in China. Both of them said that they found it first and put it here to occupy it. People around them looked at them sideways, but no one tried to persuade them.
At this time, a girl came over, picked up the lipstick, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This lipstick color is not suitable for our Asian skin color. It makes us look darker. And today we are going to create a fresh and natural makeup look, so this strong color lipstick is not suitable."
The two female students blushed after hearing this. The girl continued, "We are all a team. Don't let this little thing affect your mood. It would be bad if it gets out."
The two realized their mistake and apologized to each other. The other students admired him for his ease in resolving the conflict.
Xia Haoyang witnessed the whole process and was impressed by the girl. At this moment, the staff came in to announce that there was only half an hour left before the stage show started. The entire dressing room suddenly became quiet, and everyone took a deep breath, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
