Chapter Eighty-Six: The Stage
"Showcase is about to start, Hyoyeon get ready!" Choi so-young, who ran to inquire about the situation, pulled her throat from a distance, her expression was like chasing an angry Lee Soon-gyu behind her buttocks.
"What?" Jin Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and then pulled his legs and rushed in the direction where Cui Xiuying was running, "Ahhh!!h Don't start now!! "The speed is like an arrow feather, and a gust of wind blows at the 'boom', and the short skirts on both sides of the aisle flutter......
Jin Xiaoyuan had to be anxious, she was the first to play, the opening dance, the opening dance, this is the charm of the legendary dance queen, unique. Yes!!! No, no, run away!!
Sure enough, it's a woman like the wind. Looking at the person who disappeared in a blink of an eye, Kim Taeyeon reluctantly pressed her temples, fortunately her sister did not have such endless vitality, otherwise God knows if she would have aged first. But...... It seems that there are already signs of that......
Kim Taeyeon sighed, threw the messy thoughts back of her head, raised her steps and walked backstage, "Let's go too." ”
On the stage, the host's opening remarks were almost over, and Kim Hyo-yeon, who was standing behind the curtain, was moving his body, and his eyes were full of blazing light when he looked at the front desk, and his nervous heart gradually turned into excitement.
To start, my stage is about to start, even if it's only a few minutes of stage, that! It is also a stage that belongs to me Kim Hyo-yeon alone!
"So what's next......"
Has it finally arrived? Kim Hyo-yeon stopped warming up, and a confident smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Taeyeon, lend me your hat." ”
"OK, come on." Kim Taeyeon took off her baseball cap and brought it to Kim Hyo-yeon's head, "wuli-dance-queen, fighting!" ”
"After the Golden Dance, fighting!"
"Ernie, fighting!"
"Fighting, Hyo Yuan'er!"
"Wait and see what I do!" As long as dancing is mentioned, Kim Hyo-yeon will always be so confident and dazzling.
The music sounded, and Kim Hyo-yeon, who was standing in the center of the stage, wriggled his body to the strong rhythm. Poppin, one of Kim Hyo-yeon's favorite and best dances, smooth dance steps, powerful dance postures, every movement is infused with Kim Hyo-yeon's love for dance. Offstage, the screams changed from scattered to dense with the change of dance, and most of them could be heard in the middle.
……
In the passage leading to the backstage, Kim Tae-yeon leans against the steel frame, watching the autonomous luminous body dancing in the center of the stage, quietly dropping the tip of her pen on her notebook. Soon, a Q version of the figure appeared on the paper, with a few lines of small print next to it.
[On the stage, when I first met you, time around me completely stood still, and you, who changed my ordinary life, were my Dancing-Queen......]
This is Hyo-yeon......
……
“Trouble-will-find-you-no-matter-where-you-go-oh-oh,No-matter-if-you’re-fast-no-matter-if-you’re-slow-oh-oh……”
"Trouble-is-a-friend", Huang Meiying's pure American English and her smoking, drinking and drinking voice give people an exotic style, and her crooked smiling eyes have captured the hearts of many male viewers with good eyesight under the lights, and many people with relationships are already inquiring about her. There are also many people who have noticed the song, how can a song that they have never heard at all not pay attention to them, especially the long-term vision of the orangutan Park, whose face is a lot more solemn, but this is just the beginning.
After Huang Meiying, the trainees who came to the stage after Huang Meiying were not very familiar, and their fame seemed to be not small, and they heard a lot of screams as soon as they came on stage. That's right, it's screaming, who made him a man......
"Look at me, look at me, Shun-kyu! Look at me, look at me, Shun-kyu! Look at me, look at me, look at me right now......"
Although Choi so-young's singing skills are not very good, her ability to adjust the atmosphere is really not to be talked about, and the Trot song, which belongs to the cheerful genre itself, has made her go to the next level, and the atmosphere of the scene has been in a state of excitement from beginning to end.
If the front desk is in full swing, then the backstage is the emergency of the volcanic eruption, starting with Choi so-young singing, no, it should be from the moment he takes the stage Lee Soon-gyu's face is more than the legendary Lord Bao, and even the black beauty recognized among the girls is only willing to bow down. As the song progresses, the signs of Lee Soon-gyu's riot become more and more obvious, and this sign turns into action after Choi so-young on stage deliberately turns his head......
"Don't stop me! I'm going to eat her! Eat her! No! I'm going to kill her! Kill her!! "Scarlet eyes, turbulent green tendons in the corners of the forehead, panting dragon breath, clenched fists. The furious Lee Soon-gyu actually moved a few steps to the stage under the joint efforts of Kim Taeyeon, Kwon Yoo-ri, Kim Hyo-yeon and Lim Yoon-a, fortunately there was still a little distance between the stage and the seat where they were standing, otherwise they would really make a fool of themselves.
Lee Soon-gyu's four-person performance of "Haha Song" was the last program of the morning, and there were even artists who had already debuted before them, such as the song "Sakura Song" that was sung by Kim Taeyeon and Choi so-young during the year-end exam at the moment, and Tianshang Jihee, who was working hard in Japan, cheered through the video. With the video of Heavenly Zhixi as the beginning, there will inevitably be videos or stages of other artists in the afternoon, that is to say......
"Alas~ Are we going to get an axe from the class?" At lunchtime, with Choi so-young, the number one intelligence agent, Kim Taeyeon and the others got the news that there was a video of BOA to be played in the afternoon. There are genuine performances, should these impostors retreat?
"Banmen get an axe?" Regarding the idiom in Kim Taeyeon's words, everyone said, "This, yes, what, meaning, thought!"
"It's the meaning of showing off your skills in front of experts and not measuring your own strength." is worthy of being studious Xu Xiaoxian, who knows a little about everything.
"You have to have confidence in yourself, there is more than one of you who performs Sister BOA." Cui Xiuying is right, as the eldest sister of S.M, BOA's dances and songs can be said to be the first choice for S.M's female trainees, and of course, many male trainees will also choose.
"Forget it, don't worry about this for now, so-yeon, you ......" Kim Tae-yeon changed the subject, and the first person to appear in the afternoon was Jung so-yeon, who was still afraid of the camera. And she, I don't know if the company intended it, but she was ranked behind Zheng Xiuyan, don't you know that both of them sing lyrical drops?
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Her face was obscured by the strands of hair scattered on both sides, making it impossible to see her expression clearly, but the certainty in her tone was unquestionable.
"Ernie, if you're scared, just look at the side, we'll all be standing there." Zheng Xiujing straightened her undeveloped chest, which seemed quite funny, but the seriousness on her face gave people a lot of confidence.
"You Ernie and I don't practice white eyes."
Isn't it really about white-eyed? Look at your flip, compared with Cui Chang's legs......
The lunch break passed quickly, and the afternoon showcase was about to begin.
Standing in the passage backstage, Zheng Xiuyan grabbed the microphone in her hand tightly, she was waiting, and when the host finished speaking, she should go on stage. Although he said that he would be fine at noon, the camera in front of the stage was like a bloodthirsty beast waiting for the moment when he came on stage. 'Bang, bang', the heart, restlessly pounding in the chest, there was a feeling of wanting to jump out of the restraints, the comforting sounds gathered in the ears, the cheering voices were all turned out by the overworked brain without processing, and nothing was heard.
"So what's next......"
It's time to go on stage, the lights on the stage have dimmed, and Zheng Xiuyan knows that it is time for her to go on stage, and walks slowly to the front stage with lead-filled legs. Haven't you been on such a stage many times? Why are you so nervous? So scared? Will it be eliminated if it goes on like this? If...... What happens when you become a deserter......
The lights of the stage were fixed on Zheng Xiuyan's body for a moment, above the audience, the dim lights seemed to be shaking, and the noisy hall was quiet in the moment when the lights gathered, and the eyes were fixed on the protagonist dressed in white on the stage.
Directly below the stage, several cameras are side by side in front of them at the same distance, and the pitch-black lens is like an all-engulfing black hole, spinning and devouring ...... I couldn't take my eyes off their lenses, the hand holding the microphone was shaking, the piano sound in the demo had sounded, but I couldn't find the lyrics in my head, blank, everything was blank.
I...... Still is...... Can't you get over it......
In the passage, the people who were staring at the figure on the stage couldn't help but get nervous, their eyes were full of worry, and inadvertently, their hands were tightly clenched into fists.
The palms of the hands are full of sweat, as long as the hand is gently loosened, the microphone will slip off, and it will really be embarrassed by then. Suddenly, a person appeared in the oblique corner of the line of sight, crouching between the two cameras, and the faint light on the wall, the smile of the other party could be faintly seen, like a light, illuminating the road ahead that was shrouded in darkness. Faintly, you can see the shape of her mouth......
[Don't be afraid, there is still us, fighting ......]
Taeyeon ......
Slowly, the fear in my heart gradually dissipated, and slowly, the lyrics that disappeared from my mind appeared clearly, and slowly, a smile bloomed on my face.
I...... No...... Throwing in the towel......
“I-can’t-figure-out,Is-it-meant-to-be-this-way,Easy-words-so-hard-to-say。”
“I-can’t-live-without,Knowing-how-you-feel,Know-if-this-is-real。”
“Tell-me-am-I-mistaken,Cause-I-don’t-have-another-heart-for-breaking。”
“……”
The sweet but not greasy song is like a spring in the forest, gurgling and flowing, washing away the dirt in the heart. Although there are many people who can't understand the English lyrics, they can understand what they mean from the singing, poignant love, persistent love. The heart is crying.
Offstage, Kim Taeyeon, who was squatting between the two cameras, quietly walked backstage, she was no longer needed here, and the people on the stage could already muster up the courage to face their fears.
But it's not you, it's my song......
Whether it is "Trouble-is-a-friend" sung by Huang Meiying or "Heartbeats" sung by Zheng Xiuyan, there is only one instrument for accompaniment, the piano. Due to time constraints, Kim Taeyeon didn't have time to complete the arrangement, so the accompaniment used on the showcase stage was a pre-recorded solo piano. The taste is still almost something.
The moment the song ended, there was a wave of applause, and the passage to the backstage was full of excitement, as if they were the ones who got the applause, not someone else. Kim Taeyeon walked over with a smile and lowered the brim of her hat, her heart excited and excited. She's ready to prepare!
"I did it, Taeyeon~" A little cute voice with joy sounded in his ears, and it was a little coquettish.
"Wuli Xiuyan is the best." Smiling and raising his head, as if coaxing a child, he rubbed Zheng Sika's long hair.
"Hing~ Of course." The little pride raised her chin, like a child who has been praised. Soon, Jung so-yeon hugged Kim Tae-yeon and whispered in her ear: "Fighting! Taenggu~”
“Taenggu?” Kim Taeyeon remembers that this seems to be his nickname after his debut.
"Don't like it?" There seemed to be a hint of resentment in his tone......
"Of course not, I love it." I really like it.,I don't reject it at all.。 "It's my turn." He straightened his hat and slowly walked to the stage with a confident smile in the cheers of his companions, towards the first point of his dream.
Kim Taeyeon, you must have confidence in yourself, you must ......
"Taeyeon fighting!"
"Ernie, fighting!"
……
"I opened the window and saw the stars, still watching the night sky
I can't help but feel a little warmer in my heart
The atmosphere was so peaceful
……
I just want you to understand, to accompany me on my endless journey"
Some hoarse voices have not become flaws, but with Kim Taeyeon's own conditions, they are more magnetic, and they understand their feelings like acting skills are integrated into the song from the beginning, which makes people can't help but calm down and listen carefully.
"You know my dreams, you know my pain
You know we all feel the same way
No matter how strong the wind is, it can't stop the brave impulse
Fly forward hard, no matter how tired you are
How beautiful the light after the night
Sharing the power of you and me can light the way for each other
I think we're all the same
……”
Kim Tae-yeon's voice seems to be a compass that guides people into the world of songs, and as the song gradually enters the artistic conception created by the song. There was silence in the audience, and many people in the passage leading to the backstage stopped their movements, listened quietly, quietly recalled, and recalled their feelings along the way. Joy, hesitation, sadness, joy...... Everything came to mind involuntarily at this moment.
In the box on the second floor, looking through the glass at Kim Taeyeon, who lowered his hat on the stage and conveyed his heart with his singing, Min Xianyi tightened his hands into fists, and his eyes revealed surprise, admiration, admiration, and more unyielding fighting intentions.
Someday, I will surpass you!
"Fly forward hard, it doesn't matter how tired you are
How beautiful the light after the night
Share the power of you and me, and you can make each other's roads ~bright~~"
The last elongated lyric fell, and the accompaniment gradually stopped, and the song was finished. Amid the applause, she walked slowly to the passage with an excited heart, where several good sisters stood waiting for her, and a smile appeared on her still somewhat baby fat face.
There you ...... That's nice......
……
May's Showcase is over, and many people are still a little unsatisfied, similarly, S.M's strength has been certified, and it deserves to be the leader of the brokerage company, and the strength of many trainees is comparable to that of idols who have debuted......
Park Jin-young, who returned to JYP, had a solemn face, not for anything else, but for the songs that appeared at the Showcase meeting that he had never heard. He has a hunch that those two English songs will definitely not only go around in South Korea, and the remaining three songs will also not be unknown.
"Xianyi, can you ......?"
Park Jin-young's words were interrupted by Min Xianyi, although a little rude, "Impossible, teacher." "Min Xianyi knows very well what Park Jinying wants to say, everyone has a love for talent." Let's not talk about S.M's willingness to let go, just her relationship with them is not something we can easily leverage. ”
"Really? What a shame. ”
Saying that I don't regret that it was a fake home, Park Jin-young really wants to pull Kim Taeyeon into his company and make a female version of Rain to occupy the solo cake that was seized by S.M's BOA. If Kim Tae-yeon's singing touches his heart, then her dancing makes Park Jin-young see the shadow of BOA, although Park Jin-young's desire to control is no less than Lee so-man's, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like talented people.
Kim Taeyeon's dance performance was just before the BOA video was shown, and S.M's group dance was hard to fault with, and the four-person "Spark" dance was very pleasing to the eye. However, many people's focus is on Kim Taeyeon's body, height and dance, as if BOA is standing in front of them, if you really want to pick out the difference, then there is only body type, and the one standing in front of them is much stronger than BOA, this is the sadness of being fat......
……
"Brother, quite a few people have started wielding hoes." Zheng Chengcan, who was standing in front of Li Xiuman, was faintly worried.
"Don't worry, if she would have been fooled by the stage they promised, then she wouldn't have chosen to give up at that time, our S.M's ability to operate is not comparable to theirs." In the end, Li Xiuman's momentum suddenly changed, and he gained an unspoken confidence for no reason.
"But be careful not to let them do anything they shouldn't do to them." As he spoke, a ruthlessness flashed in Li Xiuman's eyes.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm here." Very short sentence, but full of confidence and determination.
……
At a barbecue restaurant in Apgujeong, girls sit around a table to celebrate the end of the showcase.
"Cheers~"
"Ping!" With a bang, more than a dozen glasses collided together, making a crisp sound, and everyone's face was filled with a relaxed smile.
PS: I toothlessly stole the nickname that Han Rice gave to Taeyeon, don't mind too much ^_^
