Chapter 658: Recreating the Divine Comedy
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Ziwei calmed down, turned her head and glared at the smiling girls next to her, "I'm not the only one who has gained weight!"
"Senior, give me face," Chen Ziwei turned around, held her forehead and bowed her head, "We are in the same group anyway, can you not mention this stubble?"
"I mean the food in the cafeteria is good," Xiao Yao said deliberately, "and I didn't say that you became heavy because you were lazy in training!"
"Senior, you really know her!" a girl next to her interjected and laughed.
The girl who interjected was Lin Yunan, who was in the same group as Chen Ziwei in her last performance, and was still the captain of the temporary group.
"Oops!" Chen Ziwei raised three fingers and said, "I promise! I promise not to be lazy in this week's practice!"
"Senior, what about your very powerful makeup artist and assistant sister, didn't you come with you?" Zhao Di asked Xiao Yao.
"Do you know my makeup artist?" Xiao Yao said with a little surprise.
"I watched her beauty teaching live broadcast on Youyu and learned a lot of makeup techniques. Zhao Di said.
"The stage performance is the makeup artist of the program team, and this daily makeup is your own makeup, right?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Di and said.
"yes!" Zhao Di nodded.
"It seems that you haven't learned much!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled.
"Huh?" Zhao Di touched her face and said, "Isn't my makeup good?"
"Ha~" Lin Yunan smiled at Wei Yunjing, "Diss Wan Ziwei's weight has the makeup of diss flowers, I suddenly don't envy your group at all!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yao turned his head to look over.
"Senior, I was wrong!" Lin Yunan hurriedly lowered his head and covered his face and said, "Don't look at me! I have a lot of problems, and I can't stand your careful scrutiny!"
"Ha~" Lin Yunan's cowardice naturally caused laughter again.
"She came to Hangzhou with me, but she didn't need her for the time being for the past few days of training, so she didn't come over and was busy with other things. Xiao Yao finished cleaning up Lin Yunan, and then turned his head and replied to Zhao Di, "She is now a professional stylist, not just a makeup artist and assistant." Once the song and dance are finalized, she'll come over and work with me to help you design the look. She prepares the costumes, and she is also responsible for the makeup on the day of your performance, and she will come on the day of the performance. ”
"Wow~" Xiao Yao said this, and the girls next to him were amazed.
"What about now, are you envious?" Wei Yunjing asked Lin Yunan next to him with a smile.
"Use a professional stylist as an assistant, it's really good!" Lin Yunan gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up.
"It's really overkill for someone as powerful as Sister Pei to be an assistant. Zhao Di said to Xiao Yao, "If you don't make it to the last eleven people to make their debut in a group this time, I'll be your assistant, okay? I'm very diligent, I can do any job!"
"What do you think?" Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Even if you don't make your debut in the end, you people are already popular." If you don't want to be an assistant to me, you were recommended by the company, so you must still have a contract on you, right? Even if you want to, your company won't agree to it!"
"Oh, it seems to be too!" Zhao Di nodded ignorantly.
"I've finished eating, you eat slowly!" Xiao Yao said to several girls in the same group, "Give you a little lunch break at noon, meet in the practice room at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't be late!" While eating and chatting, Xiao Yao had already eliminated the food on the plate.
"Senior, why are you going at noon?" Seeing Xiao Yao get up to leave, Lu Mingshuang asked.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"If you're all right, why don't you go and sit in our dorm for a while. Lu Mingshuang suggested.
"Oh~" a group of girls next to him coaxed.
"Oh, each of our dormitories has cameras shooting 24 hours a day, what are you fooling around?" Lu Mingshuang said, "I just asked the seniors to play and chat for a while." ”
"Thank you, but forget it. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "The songs and dances for you haven't been decided yet, I have to think about writing songs and choreographing things at noon." ”
"Okay then, goodbye, senior!" Lu Mingshuang stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Yao.
"Goodbye, senior!" said the others.
"Goodbye, sit down and continue eating!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, put the empty plate in the tableware recycling area, and left the cafeteria.
Before two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Yunjing and the other six people came to the practice room together. They originally wanted to come over early and wait for Xiao Yao, but they didn't expect to open the door of the practice room and find a person lying on the floor of the practice room. There was a pillow in the practice room under the man's head, and most of his face was sunk in the pillow, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but there was a shooting crew in the practice room, and the person's clothes and figure on his stomach were also very similar to Xiao Yao, and it seemed that it was Xiao Yao.
"Senior?" the few people looked at each other, walked over lightly, bent down and asked softly.
"Huh, here?" the man on his stomach looked up and beckoned.
When they looked up, they found that the one lying on their stomachs was indeed Xiao Yao.
"Senior, why are you lying on the ground?" Chen Ziwei asked with a smile.
"Are you taking a nap?" Zhao Di asked, "Even if you don't want to go to our dormitory, you can tell us, I'll send you a mattress and blanket, how uncomfortable it is to sleep on your stomach on this ground!"
"Who said I'm sleeping?" Xiao Yao said, "I'm thinking!
"Thinking about things?" the six people looked at each other, and Wei Yunjing asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about lying on the ground?"
"Of course, it's a song that I want you to perform," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's more down-to-earth to think like this! Absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it's easier to be inspired!"
"Down-to-earth?, but also absorb the essence of heaven and earth?!" The six people were speechless.
Also speechless were the members of the filming crew in the practice room. Xiao Yao went back to the practice room after lunch, saying that he was going to compose a performance song for the trainees, and the filming crew thought that they could film Xiao Yao's creative process, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao to come in and just sit on the piano bench for a while, without playing a single note, and then took a pillow and lay on the ground.
For more than an hour, Xiao Yao didn't do anything except change from lying down to lying on his stomach. made it so boring that some people in the filming crew dozed off. If Wei Yunjing and the others hadn't come in, I'm afraid the cameraman would have started to close his eyes and doze off after a while.
"Then do you have an inspiration?" asked Wei Yunjing.
"Not yet. Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, in fact, he was indeed asleep.
"Ha~" The six of them smiled, and Wei Yunjing said to Xiao Yao, "Senior, get up! Let's discuss it together, maybe we can give you some inspiration." At noon, I heard Yu Nan say that their group was ready to revise the dance moves of their public performance songs by themselves, and we were not completely useless. ”
"Okay!ah~" Xiao Yao nodded, and couldn't help but yawn.
"This yawn hit~" Chen Ziwei smiled, "I also said I didn't take a nap!"
Xiao Yao was not annoyed after being dismantled, he simply flattened his limbs, and then recovered his limbs together, and at the same time his entire upper body arched, and moved his whole body by getting up.
"This position is like my cat's movement when she wakes up after sleeping!" said a girl named Wu Huiyi in the group, covering her mouth.
"When I took the art exam that year, the examiner teacher asked me to simulate animals to learn cats, and I will learn one for you?" Xiao Yao heard Wu Huiyi's evaluation, so he simply didn't get up, and crawled a few steps on the ground with his hands and feet, learning the cat's light and elegant gait, and his eyes were full of cat-like lazy arrogance.
"Wow~ It seems!" the six girls all exclaimed and clapped their hands in praise.
"The first step in learning performance is to liberate the natural **** nature, and a very important exercise is animal simulation, which students in the acting department have to learn. Xiao Yao stood up and said with a smile, "Do you have any plans to develop in the direction of an actor in the future, I can teach you a lesson for free and teach you how to liberate your nature." ”
"Don't!" the six girls were startled, and they all waved their hands and retreated.
"Senior, we're here to learn singing and dancing with you," Chen Ziwei reminded with a vigilant face, "I'm not here to learn how to bark with you on the ground!"
"The senior only learned cat walking just now, not cat barking!" Zhao Di reminded Chen Ziwei.
"That's what I said~" Chen Ziwei glared at Zhao Di and said.
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Okay, don't make trouble, let's get down to business!"
"I have an idea, you wait for me!" Xiao Yao went to the wooden cabinet on the side to get the paper and pen prepared for him by the program team, sat on the bench of the upright piano, and used the key cover of the upright piano as the table, spread the paper and pen to write and scratch.
"Is this the inspiration to write a song, are you going to write a song?" the six girls looked at each other and walked over to watch.
"Wait!" Xiao Yao heard the footsteps, looked up to stop the six girls, and said, "Don't come over to interrupt my train of thought, I'll show you when I'm done writing in a while." ”
"Oh~" The six girls stopped obediently.
It looked a little silly to stand like this, and their position was just right to see Xiao Yao who was writing and drawing from the side, and the six of them simply sat down on the floor.
After watching it for a while, Chen Ziwei couldn't help but cover her mouth and whispered to Wei Yunjing: "Big brother, Xiao Yao hasn't even played a single note, and he hasn't hummed a tune melody in his mouth, have you ever seen a song written like this?"
"No!" Wei Yunjing shook his head and said, "Although I haven't seen any teacher write songs with my own eyes, whether in Korea or in China, I haven't heard of any teacher in the company writing songs like this." ”
"It's not like you're creating," Yang Shiyun, who knows how to play a musical instrument and has some creative ability, said, "but like writing silently!"
"Silent writing?" Chen Ziwei turned Wei Yunjing lightly and said, "Did you say that he had already written the song, and he deliberately teased us just now?"
"How do I know?" Wei Yunjing smiled bitterly, "I, like you, only met this legendary demon senior for the first time today. Wait and see!"
As soon as Wei Yunjing said this, everyone stopped discussing it and waited for Xiao Yao intently.
"Okay!" In less than ten minutes, Xiao Yao put away his pen and beckoned to the six girls sitting on the ground, "Let's take a look!"
The six girls hurriedly stood up and ran over, Xiao Yao smiled and handed over the two pieces of paper that had been written: "Here, the lyrics and music scores, you can take a look first!"
Wei Yunjing stretched out his hand to take the score, and the other five people also formed a semicircle, all stretched out their heads and looked at it together.
"This~" As soon as the six of them looked at the name of a song at the top, their eyes widened and they looked up at Xiao Yao.
"Senior, you..."Chen Ziwei pointed to the music sheet in Wei Yunjing's hand and said to Xiao Yao, "I just said that I wouldn't lie on the ground and learn to meow with you, you wrote such a song?"
"I now believe that the senior is definitely created on the spot!" Chen Ziwei whispered to the next few people again.
When the five people next to them heard this, they also nodded incredulously.
It turned out that the music score in Wei Yunjing's hand, and the name of the song in the middle of the top was the three words "learn to call a cat".
This group of six people is currently ranked relatively high in the show, three in the top ten, two in the top fifteen, and the worst in the top twenty. Just looking at the ranking, Xiao Yao should be the highest average ranking among the six groups, but this does not mean that the comprehensive strength of this group is the strongest, in fact, there are still many problems.
The first is that there are no rappers. Although others are not unable to make cameos, in terms of strength, there is no rap level that is enough.
Wei Yunjing, who has debuted, is currently ranked first in the show, and his comprehensive strength can be said to be one of the strongest, with good looks, good dancing, great stage experience and expressiveness, serious and hard work in private, and very leadership. She is responsible for dancing and appearance, and singing and rapping are okay, but these two are just okay.
Yang Shiyun and Wu Huiyi are vocal responsibilities, Wu Huiyi is just not outstanding in appearance and dance, but there are no obvious shortcomings, but Yang Shiyun's dance foundation is relatively poor, she has only been in contact with dance for two months before participating in the show, and she is one of the three people who can't dance "seve" in the morning.
Lu Mingshuang's appearance and personality are very cute, and her singing and dancing skills are also quite good, but unfortunately her height is a hard injury, and her nickname Xiaoliu is not even one meter six. After a model trainee with a height of 1.8 meters was eliminated, Yang Shiyun was the tallest among the remaining trainees, and Lu Mingshuang was the shortest of all the trainees, and the two people with the biggest height gap at present happened to be in Xiao Yao's group. Although the most adorable height difference is fun to say, in terms of choreography, it is also an unavoidable problem.
The most serious is Zhao Di. looks very beautiful, and is close to the kind of appearance that Xiao Yao said has audience popularity, but other than that, singing and dancing are not very good, almost relying on his appearance and cute and coquettish personality to get to the present. Although there are many viewers and fans who like her, she is also the most diss of viewers and netizens, and even the target of some other trainees.
It's not a full-fledged team or a combination. Xiao Yao feels that there are those who can reach the level of solo debut by going out individually, but there is still a considerable distance between the group debut.
There are still some popular songs of the Korean girl group in Xiao Yao's mind in his previous life, and changing the Korean lyrics to Chinese is not a big problem for Xiao Yao, but the problem is that Xiao Yao feels that even if he changes the lyrics to Chinese, he does not have the confidence to let these six people all sing and dance a certain song within a week, to the extent that they can perform on stage.
At noon, Xiao Yao had been worrying about their songs and dances. It's because I can't find the right one all the time, and I get bored of thinking about it, and then I will lie on the ground and fall asleep in a depressed mood. Finally, under Chen Ziwei's reminder, Xiao Yao had a flash of inspiration in his mind and decided to solve it with the Internet Divine Comedy in his previous life.
"Thank you for giving me inspiration!" Xiao Yao smiled, "But you don't seem to have finished reading it yet, so I admire it now, isn't it early?" ”
"I believe that the songs you wrote must be excellent, seniors. Chen Ziwei waved her hand and said, "You have written so many songs, and none of them are bad or not popular!"
"Really?" Xiao Yao smiled, "But I have also written children's songs, I want to write a song like "Song of the Pig", and you are willing to sing it?"
"Huh?" Chen Ziwei was stunned, and quickly looked down like everyone else.
"Senior, this song~" Yang Shiyun has the highest musical literacy among the six, hummed and sang all the way to read it, and then looked at Xiao Yao with some hesitation.
"Something to say!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Yang Shiyun touched Wei Yunjing's arm and glanced at her.
"It seems that you have already elected the captain yourself, and you are not very satisfied with this song," Xiao Yao smiled, "Brother Liqing, you can say it, you think there is something wrong." ”
"It's not that I think there's any problem," Wei Yunjing hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's just that this song is a little simpler?"
"Because there's no rap?" Xiao Yao smiled, "There are no rappers among the six of you!"
"No, the melody is simple and the lyrics are relatively straightforward. Wu Huiyi interjected.
"Isn't it easy to learn!" Xiao Yao said.
"But such a song without difficulty," Wei Yunjing said worriedly, "Is it suitable as a performance repertoire on the performance stage?"
"This is not a singing competition, nor is it a dance competition," Xiao Yao said, "I don't intend to make any of you particularly outstanding, but I want our group of seven to give the audience an impressive performance." ”
"You all know the very simple barrel theory, right?" Xiao Yao continued, "The amount of water a barrel can hold is determined by the length of the shortest plank. At the very least, we don't want any glaring lapses on stage. ”
As soon as Xiao Yao said this, the other five people all subconsciously looked at Zhao Di.
"Senior, I~" Zhao Di also understood what everyone meant, and as soon as her mouth was flattened, the crying voice came out again.
"Don't look at her, I'm not talking about her alone. Xiao Yao interrupted, "I still have songs like "ALONE" and "Expectation" that give the Korean girl group a place in the singing show, and the five of you don't have a big problem singing, but what about the dance? I can still design a stage sitcom for you without choreography, but if you rely solely on singing and acting, Yang Shiyun and Wu Huiyi can be brilliant, but the rest of you don't dance, only sing, how much impression can you give the audience?"
"This~" Several people were speechless.
"I also have a general framework for the choreography of this song," Xiao Yao continued, "The dance moves are not difficult, but they will be very distinctive, mainly imitating the movements of cats." ”
"Dance moves are also learning cats?" Wei Yunjing asked, "Is it the kind that sells cuteness?"
"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded, "The two of you who walk in the cute style may be more adaptable, but even if the style is quite different from the cute style in the past, the strong sense of contrast will make you impressive." ”
"So the relatively difficult part is that there are a few people who need to overcome the obstacles in their hearts, and they don't have any psychological burden and physical and mental investment to sell cuteness on the stage. Xiao Yao continued, "But compared to improving singing and dancing skills in a short period of time, I think it is easier to change things on the psychological level." ”
"Such a song, coupled with a cute dance that learns cat movements," Chen Ziwei said, "I think this song is popular on the Internet, and it has the potential to become an Internet divine comedy." ”
"Agreed!" Xiao Yao smiled and gave Chen Ziwei a thumbs up, "I originally planned to make it an Internet Divine Comedy!" Zhu Zitong and Aiyiguli's ghost step dance made "Seve" an Internet Divine Comedy, and Aiyiguli and Lin Qisan's gesture dance made "Love Is You" an Internet Divine Comedy. ”
This song "Learning to Meow" by Xiao Pan Pan and Xiao Fengfeng in the previous life was originally an Internet divine comedy, and it also had a gesture dance that swept the Internet. In his previous life, several songs became popular by the dances of netizens, and in this life, Xiao Yao's "Seve" and "What I Love Is You" were both worn by the dances of stars, at least the popularity in China is better than in the previous life. This time, the six trainees in the popular variety show came to the first jump, and Xiao Yao believes that the popularity will at least not be worse than in his previous life.
"By the way, I heard that one of the sponsors of this show is a short video app," Xiao Yao thought of another point and said to the six girls, "Although my "SEVE" became popular on "Shooting", and "What I Love Is You" started to become popular on "Yinchuang", I have no endorsement relationship with these two. When the time comes, you can record a video of a gesture dance and upload it to the sponsor's short video app, and even the advertising task can be solved by the way. ”
In addition to training, some of the popular trainees in this show also have to help the sponsors of the show shoot some commercials. The number of advertising opportunities for these shoots is actually a reflection of the popularity of the trainees. If you upload a song and dance from a stage performance and really go viral on the Internet, it will be of great benefit to the program team, sponsors, and themselves.
The six girls all understood this truth, and once they realized this, everyone was no longer so reluctant to Xiao Yao to use this song with the potential of the Internet Divine Comedy as a performance repertoire.
"Although you are a senior, you are also a teacher in charge of songwriting and choreography! We listen to you!" Wei Yunjing touched his eyes with the other girls and took the lead in saying, "Isn't it just learning to meow?"
