Chapter 52: The third performance, the wind is blowing

Saturday is the weekend break for student parties and office workers.

But for the "Rising Star" production team, it was the busiest time.

Today, we are going to start recording the third performance.

Before the official recording, there is also a dress rehearsal.

The rehearsal of Wu Junchen's team took up the entire morning, squeezing out the rehearsal time of other teams.

Naturally, some teams expressed dissatisfaction, but the unified answer given by the program team was that the Korean production team had relatively high requirements for the stage, so it needed to take more time.

After all, Chaoyin Culture is a big company, and even if other teams have complaints, they can only endure it.

The remaining five teams were crammed into the afternoon rehearsal.

The rehearsal lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon, and then ended in a hurry.

After an hour's rest, chief director Tong Fei announced the official start of the recording.

Guests, contestants, audiences, and professional judges entered one after another.

One hundred and fifty cameras were in place, and the host He Hao took the stage and said in a cheerful voice: "Welcome all guests, professional judges, and audience friends to participate in the third performance of "Tomorrow's Star".

"Tonight's competition system will be upgraded again, six teams, six songs, two and two duels.

"As the competition progresses, the format will become more and more intense, and more and more students will leave the stage of Rising Star.

"On the stage tonight, the losing team will fall into the lower zone.

"The team in the lower zone, the three players at the bottom of the firepower, are leaving.

"So, for the sake of this summer's music dream, show your strength and go hard!"

After the opening speech, He Hao began to introduce the team:

"The most eye-catching thing for the audience tonight is definitely the team led by our Wu Junchen.

"The five sons of Chaoyin gathered, plus three outstanding students from Class A, and the lineup was super luxurious.

"Now, please get out of Wu Junchen's team."

Wu Junchen led the team on the stage and greeted the audience.

In his team, it can be said that half of the top ten on the popularity list have gathered, and the lineup is a bit terrifying.

Because of this, there are a terrible number of fans on the scene.

As soon as the eight people took the stage, the fans at the scene screamed loudly, shouting the names of their idols.

Subsequently, the remaining five teams also took the stage one after another to meet the audience.

However, the number of fans of the five teams cannot be compared with Wu Junchen's team, so the sound on the scene is obviously much smaller.

After introducing the six teams, He Hao began to ask questions:

"Tonight is the stage of the proposition performance, and the proposition is 'I am a young man, live up to my time'. Let's first listen to Captain Junchen, what kind of thoughts he has on this proposition, and what kind of song he will prepare. ”

Wu Junchen pinched the headset on his face and replied, "Our performance song tonight is our new single that we are about to release, called "Young Crazy".

"We must have done a lot of stupid things, but we will always face them bravely.

"We're teenagers now, we'll be teenagers in 10 years, and we'll still be teenagers in 20 years.

"I believe that the audience will support us, the fans will support us, and we will never give up for the sake of this summer's music dream!"

This incendiary word was shouted, and the fans at the scene climaxed again, shouting the name of the idol heartbreakingly.

He Hao announced the start of the performance: "Then ask Wu Junchen's team to take the lead in performing "Young and Frivolous". ”

All the trainees returned to the preparation room, and Wu Junchen's team of eight people stayed on the stage.

The lights dimmed, and the eight of them stood in a triangle.

The dynamic K-pop dance melody sounds.

The brilliant lights came on, and the eight of them began to move, dancing to the melody, and then giving up the middle position.

Wu Junchen, who was wearing leather pants and a sleeveless T-shirt, walked out of the team members, pressed his right hand on the leather pants and made a sideways crotch movement, and began to sing the first main song:

"I'm young and crazy, stubbornly refusing to tell you, it's not our fault, but we missed ......"

The team dance moves are neat and uniform, and the drum beat is very accurate.

Every time they go to the drum beat of the electric music, the whole group will have neat dance moves and play accurately on the drum.

The whole stage is very mature and is a standard Hallyu dance music.

The energetic melody and dance soon ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.

The audience swayed to the melody and waved glow sticks.

The fans of Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen were even more hoarse and exhausted, and even burst into tears.

The song and dance came to an end.

When the last note fell, Wu Junchen grabbed the T-shirt with both hands and tore it hard, tearing the T-shirt to reveal his abdominal muscles.

The fans at the scene screamed so much that they were about to faint.

At the end of the stage, the excitement of the fans lasted for a long time.

He Hao walked on the stage and said in an excited tone: "Thank you Wu Junchen's team for bringing us a wonderful stage, it's really exciting."

"Fans and audience friends at the scene, do you say, is it exciting?"

Fans shouted as hard as they could: "Wonderful! ”

He Hao continued: "Thank you Junchen for the wonderful stage brought to us, please Junchen take the team back to the backstage to rest, and then please wake up the team."

"Since Fang Xing's group also chose the 'custom' song, he automatically formed an opponent with Wu Junchen.

"Junchen's "Young and Frivolous" completely ignited the stage, what will happen to the stage of Fang Xing's group?

"Before we start, Captain Fang Xing will tell everyone, what is the stage you are preparing is called?"

Fang Xing didn't shout like Wu Junchen in an emotional voice, but replied in a normal tone: "The wind is blowing." ”

"What's the wind?" He Hao pretended not to understand.

"The title of the song is 'The Wind Rises.'" Fang Xing repeated.

"Okay, let's hand over the stage to Fang Xing and his four teammates. The performance of "The Wind Rises" begins! After He Hao finished speaking, he walked down the steps.

"The Wind Rises" is a song composed by Yu Takahashi, lyrics by Mi Guo, and sung with coupons when buying chili peppers.

"Buy chili peppers and use coupons" is an Internet singer, whose real name is Feng Qinyuan.

The song was released as a single on February 22, 2017, and was later removed due to copyright issues.

It was later re-released on December 3, 2018 with the permission of the composer.

There are many singers who have covered this song.

Among them, the version performed by Wu Qingfeng won the Golden Melody Award on the 2019 Asian New Song Chart, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Annual Chart.

The version that buys chili peppers and sings with coupons, the chorus part is continuous high-pitched, suitable for female singing, and male voices can't sing this version except for Lu Ming's falsetto tenor.

Lin Junjie also has a C5 version, and the highest note sings to C5, which is the high C of the male voice.

Fang Xing mainly used Lin Junjie's version of "The Wind Rises" this time, most of the passages of the whole song, the pitch is in the range of four groups, which is more suitable for male singing.

However, in order to give Lu Ming the opportunity to show five sets of high notes, so when the chorus was repeated for the second time, Fang Xing integrated the version of buying chili peppers and using coupons, divided into two voices, and Lu Ming sang the high voices.
