Regarding the debut song of his group, although it was given by Jiang Yuan.
However, considering that just practicing one song might not be enough to participate in the show, Jiang Yuan directly gave him the amount of one EP.
There are four singles in total, and in Ji Ruiying’s words, each one is as good as a debut title song.
So for a while, Jiang Yuan couldn't guess which of the songs he would use in his first PK.
"This time we also created a conceptual stage. The overall performance, from dance to service, is all in service of the song." Chi Ruiying was in charge of the group's concept and explained it before Jiang Yuan started to watch.
The dance cost this time.
Jiang Yuan nodded, not paying much attention to the early investment.
After all, after this plan was formulated, a part of the funds had been earmarked for the start-up costs of promoting new groups.
The funds used by Chi Ruiying are still within this category.
Clicked on the video and started watching. After all, it was his own group, and Jiang Yuan also concentrated a bit.
Before the performance begins, the stage is shown from far to near, as well as close-ups and introductions of each member.
As soon as several close-up shots came out, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Needless to say, as expected of signing with the predecessor company, Xingyuan still has relatively high requirements for appearance when it comes to selecting trainees.
Especially with the help of Peninsula Makeup, several trainees seem to have the temperament of officially debuting artists.
Even the English stage name for his debut has been chosen.
The performance hasn't officially started yet, but at least in terms of appearance, we have a certain competitive advantage compared to other groups.
After all, when other groups perform their own duties, it is impossible for them all to have very good-looking faces.
From this perspective, this new group, tentatively named A team, can already be called a Wanyan group.
The music hasn't started playing yet, but after seeing the children's makeup, Jiang Yuan has roughly guessed which song will be performed.
After all, the styles of the several tracks given are quite distinct.
After guessing which song to perform, Jiang Yuan also showed a somewhat interested expression, and was a little curious about how this single would be performed.
The stage setting is slightly different from the other groups. Rather than a stage, it actually looks more like a fairy tale style MV setting.
"Some props are specially customized and will be used in photo shoots or MV shoots later." Chi Ruiying explained in a timely manner, expressing that no money was wasted.
Jiang Yuan nodded and continued watching.
In what looks like a dreamy scene, the five trainees have already taken their places and are standing in different positions.
They have also put on some classical dresses. The styles and colors are different, but they are from the same era, and they look very coordinated.
Although in the previous meeting, everyone said that the trainees should be trained by themselves.
However, when it comes to the first round of PK, it can still be seen that all the major companies are working hard behind the scenes.
From makeup to stage design, I tried to make my first appearance on the show and leave a deep impression on the audience.
Therefore, the trainees' performance costumes were actually obtained by Chi Ruiying who borrowed Jiang Yuan's name from a well-known designer who specializes in designing performance costumes and borrowed several completed works.
With the styling and on-site visual effects, the stage quality has already been raised before the performance even starts.
Then the song title flashed across the screen in pink font, which also confirmed Jiang Yuan's previous guess about the performance track.
"Psycho" is the representative song of the former girl group Red Velvet. It can be called a world-famous song in the kpop industry.
Jiang Yuan got the song early, but thought it was not suitable to sing it himself, so he kept it in his hand.
It wasn't until I took over the production of the girl group this time that I took out the works that were at the bottom of the box.
The title of the song flashed by, and then the sweet music began to sound, and the accompaniment of drum beats and synthesizers brought a sense of agility.
As the start of the performance, in conjunction with the music, the trainees also started moving on the stage.
In addition to the singing and dancing elements, there are obviously some musical performance elements incorporated into it.
In terms of look and feel, it can better guide the audience into the atmosphere and situation created by the song.
But what Jiang Yuan paid more attention to was the first part of the song.
After all, the original song also set the tone with this sentence, which made the whole song leave a deep and amazing impression on the audience at the first moment.
Correspondingly, the difficulty of singing the first sentence is not easy.
Basically, as soon as ordinary people open their mouths, they immediately turn into a broken voice in just a few notes. The failed singing version of this line in the previous life is often used as the accompaniment of funny videos and becomes popular on the Internet.
"Hu~wu~wu~~hey ye~en~~~~"
Under Jiang Yuan's expectant eyes, the first trainee bravely opened his voice, and he was one of the two lead singers of the team.
The silky transposition immediately made Jiang Yuan's brows widen.
One hand couldn't help but make a small fist and wave it.
The first sentence he spoke successfully made Jiang Yuan find the amazing feeling he wanted.
What does it mean to get the upper hand? Jiang Yuan leaned back slightly.
In a purely live situation, even using the adjective "lark" for such a voice is not an exaggeration.
"Psycho
What should I do with you? This is the first time I feel like this..."
After the stunning introduction, the subsequent singing of the main song unfolded smoothly and smoothly.
Although several trainees have different strengths and weaknesses in singing skills, this is only due to comparison.
After listening to the words alone, Jiang Yuan nodded secretly, feeling that everyone performed well within their capabilities.
In the first verse of the verse, each member is responsible for their own part, while adding some interpretations and dance moves, making the whole expression look very eye-catching.
Although there are occasionally some pitch deviations in singing, they are all within a reasonable fluctuation range and do not cause a bad listening experience.
“You got me feeling like a psycho psycho,
When they see us, some people always sigh, as if we will never see each other again and quarrel fiercely..."
During the chorus, all the members started to sing together, and at the same time, the dance movements also changed and turned into a unison dance.
Jiang Yuan seemed a little surprised by the arrangement of the performance.
After all, when Jiang Yuan gave out the single before, he just gave the song along with a few lines of text explaining the concept.
The completion of the stage that is finally presented mainly depends on the choreography team and other teams to complete it.
As soon as the chorus is sung, the whole song takes on a sense of grand celebration.
Jiang Yuan unconsciously shook his head along with the melody while listening, feeling that the reason why this song was so popular was indeed a reason for its popularity.
The whole song lasts for three and a half minutes, and is so exquisite that it doesn’t sound like a girl group song. It’s no wonder that the original singing group in the previous life was called the Red Velvet Art Performance Group.
Although there are certain deviations between the trainees' re-enactment and the version in Jiang Yuan's memory, they have also interpreted a style of their own.
The three-and-a-half-minute performance ended quickly.
During the process, Jiang Yuan also acted as an ordinary spectator and carefully identified the faces and names of the trainees.
Although we have met before, sometimes there is a big difference between stage makeup and real-life makeup.
Jiang Yuan also took a lot of effort to write down the members so that he would not comment on them or call out their names when recording the meeting offline later.
That would seem a little embarrassing.
After watching the stage, both Luo Minying and Ji Ruiying stared blankly at Jiang Yuan during the video call.
Waiting for Jiang Yuan’s reaction and comments.
"What do you think of the performance?" However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Jiang Yuan would ask a wave of anti-customer questions at this time.
Luo Minying thought about it for a while and quickly expressed her true thoughts.
"I think this is already an amazing stage for artists who haven't debuted yet."
"Furthermore, there are not many competing products on the market in terms of style and concept. The most important thing is that the debut song is really great."
"Even if you don't participate in the show "The Princess", if you debut directly, you may still get a good response." Na Minying said matter-of-factly.
"If you put it this way, each group of artists actually has a level that can make their debut." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
Indeed, it is difficult for Jiang Yuan to see that there are too many immature aspects of groups from other companies through such an initial stage.
Through such a program, everyone has directly recruited the best-prepared group of trainees to participate.
Luo Minying conducted a certain analysis from a market perspective, and Jiang Yuan felt that the analysis was reasonable.
However, if it is launched directly, it may not have an immediate and great response in foreign markets.
But the program "The Princess" is equivalent to providing a very high-quality channel, which directly raises the upper limit of the group.
After Luo Minying gave her opinion, Jiang Yuan looked at Chi Ruiying again.
As the real producer of A team, Jiang Yuan feels that there should be no one who understands it better than Chi Ruiying.
"In terms of strength, I think this performance is the first stage after all, so I am definitely still nervous."
"One or two trainees performed obviously not as well as they did during normal practice." Chi Ruiying thought for a moment and took the initiative to pick out the mistakes in her performance.
The reason why I say this is actually because I am a little cautious.
This also involves the positioning of the show "The Princess".
Although it is a battle of survival, one must have strength to win in the end, but when watching the show, it is not just the strongest that must be the most enjoyable.
Appropriately, the audience should have some developing fun while watching.
So this is also explaining to the audience that the trainees still lack stage experience.
"Another point is that the children actually spent a certain amount of time preparing this song."
"So I think the next competition, if we prepare a new performance within a limited time period, I think it will be a big test." Ji Ruiying continued.
This also raises a more realistic question.
Judging from the stage alone, everyone's performance was indeed quite good.
A considerable part of the reason is that everyone has been practicing this song for such a long time, so it has a relatively perfect effect.
The real-time preparation performance in the game is the real test of hard power and the charm of survival battle.
Jiang Yuan nodded as he listened, then took over the conversation and said, "I pretty much have the same view."
"But as far as this performance is concerned, I think the degree of completion is actually pretty good."
"Furthermore, some of your stage designs and arrangements are quite ingenious, and they are slightly different from my original preset style. I can also give you some encouragement if appropriate," Jiang Yuan said.
"However, the final response will still have to be left to the market to test. Everything is still based on the audience." Jiang Yuan finally added, not limiting the definition.
"I heard that this song is the lead version recorded by Jiang Yuan yourself?" Luo Minying asked Jiang Yuan seemingly curiously before hanging up the video.
"It's a recorded demo, right?" Jiang Yuan replied.
"Then when the program is broadcast later, can we release some demo guide clips?" Luo Minying stopped scrolling the map and made a request.
After Jiang Yuan won the Grammy Award, Luo Minying felt more and more that Jiang Yuan could add more to this program.
Just for this issue and this piece of music, with Jiang Yuan’s name on it, it will become a huge hit.
Playing the introductory segment in the program can attract more viewers to watch.
Even after Jiang Yuan won the award, it seemed that the level of the program production team had improved a little.
After Jiang Yuan thought about it, he understood Luo Minying's thoughts, but he was not ready to refuse.
"It's okay, but just play a short clip." Anyway, after recording the demo, for Jiang Yuan, being idle is nothing but idleness.
It doesn't hurt to release some excerpts for fans to listen to. If you release the whole song, it may have some impact and easily cause the diversion of the song's traffic.
This is also the reason why even if some singers are authorized to sing covers on the show, they will not have the sound source.
After all, if Jiang Yuan releases a complete version, it is foreseeable that a considerable number of listeners of this song will choose Jiang Yuan's version to listen to it.
This is obviously not what Jiang Yuan wants.
"I understand." Seeing Jiang Yuan agreeing so readily, Luo Minying was also happy.
It feels like the video calls made in the middle of the night were not in vain.
"Then our online reaction recording ends here. We look forward to meeting you next time." Luo Minying said her final goodbyes and ended the recording of this section.
After finishing the recording, Jiang Yuan also stretched.
Chi Ruiying didn't hang up the phone. She finally got on the phone and was ready to report more on the trainees' current situation.
While Jiang Yuan was listening to the relevant reports, the promotion of "Sherlock Holmes" also entered a new stage.
For several short stories that are ready for public trial reading in advance, the publisher has specially made a list for reference.
One of the cases called "The Final Case" has attracted a lot of attention.
