Chapter 6 Who wrote this song
Like the most beautiful clouds on the horizon
It now appears that the judges are not particularly interested in this
"They cannot deliver the effect of a normal song in their performance," Xu Qing said noncommittally
The five teachers in the interview room shared the same confusion as the young lady in operations. They believed that after so many years in the profession, they had seen and learned a great deal, yet today they still gained new insights.
The reason is still the same: to stand out, one must have a topic of discussion. After all, even if they work hard, they cannot excel in dance and singing within the context of Produce 101. It would be better to take a different approach.
Xu Qing had no other interaction with Lisa apart from a single phone call, making her a stranger.
Upon hearing this, Si Xi Wan Zi realized that the chances of success in this interview were quite low, and thus, with a dejected expression, they all exited the venue.
The chief director has the final say, you all find a place to sit for a while, I will go talk to the chief director
If that teacher were truly so remarkable, they would have already made a name for themselves instead of coming to participate as a judge in such a program
No matter how much I love you, it is never too much
Little Apple
To speak frankly, the judges have witnessed performances that were utterly disastrous, yet the four individuals before them have still exceeded their expectations
In terms of dance alone, they all perform quite well, as their foundational skills are evident
It is utterly chaotic, yet it seems to possess a certain uniqueness of its own, even evoking an irresistible interest that compels one to keep watching
Xu Qing quickly shifted her gaze to the entrance of the interview room, seeing the expressions on the faces of the four individuals, she thought to herself, "Could something unexpected have happened"
The phone rang several times before being answered
Xu Qingyuan believed that since the chief director had invited him for an interview, it was unlikely that he would fail. At most, it would be a matter of whether his artist performed well during the recording of the program and whether there were any issues with the camera presence.
The teacher wearing a hat coughed lightly and then curiously asked, "I haven't heard this song before, whose song is it?"
We are also not sure; in any case, this song was written by him
If Xu Qing were to see the scene inside, he would surely be unable to suppress a laugh.
Lisa's tone was very relaxed, as if she were quite familiar with Xu Qing, which was in stark contrast to the tone she used when notifying Xu Qing about the interview last time. That time, her attitude was purely formal and businesslike, whereas now it felt more like chatting with a friend
Seeing him so agitated, the other teachers found it inappropriate to say anything else. It was unnecessary to offend their colleagues over a few trainees. Therefore, the male teacher wearing a hat said, "In that case, you all go back and wait for news. We will discuss it further."
"Qing Ge, do you really think the song they performed is good?" Finally, the young operations staff couldn't help but ask.
Spring has arrived again, with flowers blooming all over the hills
You are my little, little apple
What a divine song this is, which has become popular for three reasons: the melody and lyrics are one aspect, the captivating music video is another aspect, and the dance is yet another aspect
"Oh dear, if only we had chosen a more normal song back then," the young operator said, feeling somewhat regretful as she spoke.
Yes, it is about humor. Xu Qing's core requirement for this performance is to be funny
This name is both familiar and unfamiliar to Xu Qing; it is familiar because there is a member of a girl group on Earth named Lisa
It can be said that the performance is good, but this certainly cannot be considered a good performance
"No, Qing Ge, I am not saying that the song you wrote is not normal; I am just worried that the teachers in it may not appreciate it," the young lady from operations quickly explained.
Teacher, this was written by our company's agent
Sow the seeds of hope, and you shall reap the harvest
May I ask, as a girl group, the aspect they wish to present to others is their beautiful and attractive side. Except for some very special teams, no girl group would position their unique characteristics in the realm of humor.
With this in mind, Xu Qing mentally prepared how to persuade Lisa, and then dialed her phone number
The performance in the interview room is still ongoing. Outside the interview room, Xu Qing is sitting together with a young female operator. Unlike Xu Qing, who is thoughtfully admiring the female trainees, the young operator keeps drinking water and rubbing her hands.
"Is it appropriate for you to let them perform when they are not in a normal state?" The young operator was puzzled.
"Is this even called a song?" At this moment, the male teacher, who was still wearing sunglasses indoors while holding a music book, continued to speak.
On Earth, there are indeed women who have performed this dance. The main dancer in the original music video is the retro dancer from the South Korean group, Queen Bae Suzy. Subsequently, the South Korean girl group T-ara released a Korean version of it.
He hurriedly walked up to them
For example, "Tante" and "The Most Dazzling National Style"
Do your agents also write songs
never leaving nor abandoning
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing instinctively replied, "Listen to him boast; it would be a talent for him to write such a song in his lifetime."
The judges have no say in such programs, and Xu Qing would not abandon a system evaluation program rated 7 points simply because of a few words from the judges
Whether they catch a cold or not, Xu Qing does not care; in any case, the victory conditions of this program ultimately rely on the editing by the production team and the traffic generated by the audience
In fact, apart from Yang Tutu, the other three individuals would not be so uncoordinated when faced with such a simple dance.
Xu Qing's statement is not unfounded. Many people claim that "Little Apple" is a divine song, a catchy tune, but writing a divine song is not that easy. After "Little Apple" became popular, there were indeed attempts to imitate it in hopes of creating another divine song. However, looking at the music scene in the country, there are only a few that can truly be called divine songs.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Si Xi Wan Zi's face changed slightly; however, in order to avoid causing trouble, they all kept silent and did not speak
"I can write a hundred of these trivial songs in a day. Do you think this place is just a library? A performance of this level can also come for an audition? The singing is terrible, the dancing is even worse, and there is not a single standout aspect overall. I will say it plainly, you won't pass here, just go back." The male teacher wearing sunglasses continued, his words filled with disdain.
Rigid movements, limbs unable to keep up with the rhythm
"How would I know if it works or not?" Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders
The melody is brainwashing, the lyrics are straightforward
Qing Zai, have you brought your subordinates over for the interview
The four members of the Four Happiness Meatballs, in terms of their performance level, are comparable to that of the elder brother from the Chopstick Brothers, highlighting a certain lack of coordination in their limbs
I did not expect that, as it is still not the time for the recording of the program, my four subordinates have directly stalled at this interview stage.
Alternatively, it can be said that Xu Qing and Lisa were acquainted, after all, Qingzi has already mentioned it, and this relationship cannot be unfamiliar
You are my little, little apple
... ... ''
"If the judges' words do not count, then whose words do?" Ye Sitang asked
A discordant singing voice, breathless and gasping for air
In addition to the fact that the skills of the four artists were indeed lacking, a significant portion of the responsibility lies with oneself, as one misjudged the situation and engaged in an extremely risky behavior by selecting the song "Little Apple," which does not belong in this context, and allowed them to deviate from the intended effect.
Ignite the fire that lights up my life
However, under Xu Qing's instruction, the dance teacher deliberately taught the dance in a manner that reflected the moral character of the books.
Xu Qing could not help but chuckle upon hearing this, and then said, "This song is indeed quite unusual"
Other imitated hit songs are not accepted by the public, which also proves that, in some respects, "Little Apple" possesses unique qualities that others do not have
The rosy little face warms my heart
At this point, Xu Qing felt a bit confused, wondering if she knew this Lisa
Xu Qing was about to introduce himself, but Lisa spoke up first
"Who says it is a failure? Those few teachers who can appear on the program do not have the final say," Xu Qing said to the group.
Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the young lady in operations, a syllable escaping from her nose: "Hmm?"
After the somewhat difficult performance of the Four Happiness Meatballs concluded, the scene momentarily fell into silence
As soon as Xu Qingyi arrived, Ye Sitang opened up: "Qing Ge, we failed the interview. One of the judges inside said that our dancing was terrible and our singing was awful, and that he could write a hundred songs in a day."
"Failed? What should we do now?" The operations girl immediately asked upon hearing the news of the failure.
The five judges were momentarily at a loss for words
Xu Qing comforted a few people and then walked alone to a secluded corner, took out his phone, and on the phone's contact list, there was a number labeled "Chief Director of the Creation Group Lisa"
As soon as they exited the interview room, the young operations staff noticed them and quickly nudged Xu Qing, who was still admiring the beautiful women, saying: "Boss, they have come out."
