The reason why "So You're Still Here" is called this is related to the positioning given by the program team.
In recent years, trainee talent shows have become an outlet for major capital and brokerage companies to rush in.
However, after the "milk pouring" incident occurred, it directly caused extremely bad social impact.
In order to rectify this unhealthy trend, the superiors issued an order to remove all idol talent shows from the shelves for rectification. However, although it was only said to be removed from the shelves for rectification, it was actually equivalent to a ban.
Overnight, capital was withdrawn, brokerage companies withdrew, and all idol talent shows disappeared.
However, this program format still has a large market among the audience.
As one of the TV stations with the sharpest market sense, Mango TV is certainly aware of this situation.
But the higher-ups have explicitly banned it, so of course they won't get into trouble again, so "So You're Still Here" came into being.
Similar to previous idol programs, the ultimate goal of "So You're Still Here" is to select 17 male artists from the 32 male artists who participated in the recording to form a group.
But the difference is that the people invited by Mango TV this time are basically all those who have been in the industry for many years, have masterpieces, or can be called top literary and artistic workers in a certain field, but have become outdated, or their works are out of the industry.
But he has always been "hidden".
By doing this, firstly, the ban can be circumvented, and secondly, the audience can also enjoy the sense of achievement of "cultivating the system". Moreover, compared with those trainees who are basically unable to handle their professional skills, these experienced veterans are all
There are real materials.
Watching each of the brothers who possess unique skills but have been tarnished by time, with their own support, become shining people again, the sense of accomplishment gained in this way is no weaker than "watching a child grow up".
Also because these guests are seniors who have been in the industry for many years, the program is named "So You're Still Here", which means "I never left, I'm always here".
Of course, under this background, Zhou Ziwu, who debuted less than a year ago, is extremely popular, and can only be his younger brother in age, has naturally become one of the few outliers in the show.
In the reception room.
Thirty-two brothers gathered together, and dozens of cameras were set up to shoot them in the living room from various angles.
It is said that three women make a show, but when it comes to the show, the men don't give in too much.
Without the constraints of the staff, everyone chatted with the new friends around them, testing each other politely and politely.
Except for a certain corner.
Different from the others, Zhou Ziwu and Fang Qin sat on the sofa and continued to practice.
However, this time the guitar player was Zhou Ziwu, and Fang Qin sang "Hills".
"Over the hills, even though my head is gray..."
"winter."
Zhou Ziwu patted the guitar and stopped, and Fang Qin also stopped practicing.
"Brother Fang, when I was playing the guitar just now, I always felt..."
Zhou Ziwu leaned his head closer, with a serious look on his face and was talking to Fang Qin Didi about something.
"Brother Fang, are my acting skills okay?" Zhou Ziwu asked in a low voice with a serious look on his face.
Fang Qin nodded silently, as if thinking. After a moment, he whispered seriously with the same expression: "Okay, let's just act like this. Let's rest for a few minutes, talk for a while, and continue later."
Zhou Ziwu: "Okay."
This is their new strategy for the Anti-Involution League: practice for one minute, talk for five minutes.
Although their previous goal was to practice in front of everyone and "roll" them to death, the recording of this meeting has not started yet. If they really keep practicing, it will deviate from the original intention of the anti-involution alliance and become a reality.
Involution?
That wouldn't be beautiful.
Their principle is to use the least force to wrap up the most people.
At this time, there were too many people talking in the living room, and even the people around them couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. However, seeing the two of them discussing music theory seriously, they couldn't help but admire them.
While everyone else was socializing, only the two of them were still immersed in the world of music.
No wonder there are two of them, one is the Heavenly King and the other is the newly promoted Little Heavenly King.
This is a musician who never forgets his original intention!
Based on this dedicated attitude towards music, who will succeed if they don’t succeed?
Yes, although he only debuted for half a year, in the hearts of many people, Zhou Ziwu is already the little king. And I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the real king.
"Can I join you?"
A male voice interrupted the two people who were seriously communicating and discussing "music theory knowledge".
Zhou Ziwu looked up and saw Zhang Beifeng.
"Brother Zhang, do you want to start practicing too?" Zhou Ziwu smiled and said, "Of course we welcome you if you want to join."
In fact, what he really thinks in his heart is: Don't come over.
If you join, don't we have to really practice it? Then how can we fight against involution?
"That's great." Zhang Beifeng smiled and sat down on the sofa next to them.
Fang Qin and Zhou Ziwu looked at each other and understood what the other meant: Come on, let's practice.
The singing echoed in the living room.
Slowly, the others stopped silently and turned to look at the three people practicing over there.
The pressure came suddenly.
"welcome everybody."
Hong Chou's voice came from in front of the guests: "The guests have been assembled, and our music tour will begin soon."
"Next, I will select a brother with rich hosting experience to serve as the student on duty.
Everyone looked left and right.
There seems to be no host among us, right?
"Welcome Zhou Ziwu with applause and read out the next program schedule for everyone."
After Hong Zhao finished speaking, Zhou Ziwu stood up amidst the applause of the guests, came to stand in front of everyone, and took the familiar yet unfamiliar card from Hong Zhao.
The last time he did this job was in "The Strongest Voice".
The reason why Hong Chou chose him is also a continuation of Xiang Shiyong's will, that is, to praise him in the show.
As for the obvious preference of the program team, no one raised any objections. After all, who made him famous? And everyone who has watched him host "The Strongest Voice" knows that he does have this ability.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Welcome everyone to "So You're Still Here" sponsored by..."
After reading the advertisement from the sponsor’s father, Zhou Ziwu continued: “In the next three months, we will spend a fantastic musical journey together. We will form a small team and perform through dance, instrumental music, rap, performance, etc.
Various stage forms to compete."
"During the performance, we continued to merge teams and expand the camp, and finally selected 17 people to form a musical family that can sing and dance well."
"During this merger and expansion process, some brothers will also leave our stage."
When he said this, the guests became even more stressed.
After all, not everyone is as popular as him, and there are constant invitations.
Many of them have lacked performance opportunities in recent years.
"So You're Still Here" is a variety show that is expected to become a hit, so they cherish this rare opportunity to show their faces.
But now, according to Zhou Ziwu, they could be eliminated at any time, so how could they not be under great pressure?
In addition, the anti-involution alliance is still there to increase its presence, and the pressure on them is even greater.
Zhou Ziwu continued: "In two days, we will have our first meeting concert."
Regarding this news, the brothers did not have much reaction, because the program team had already revealed the news to them before, and they had prepared the songs for the concert in advance.
"At that time, there will be a thousand spectators on site to watch our performance. All 32 people will be divided into eight groups to perform at our first meeting concert."
"For the specific grouping situation, we have randomly selected and the combination is complete. Please turn around and look at the big TV behind you."
After Zhou Ziwu finished speaking, he also turned his gaze to the TV screen, looking for his name.
Group b: Fang Qin, Zhou Ziwu, Zhang Beifeng, Lu Tianhua.
I don’t know if the show crew was really random or intentional, but two of his acquaintances on the show were all gathered together in one group.
As for Lu Tianhua, when I came here before, I greeted him and introduced myself as an ordinary person who majored in dancing and loved singing.
And those who generally describe themselves as ordinary people are basically elders.
Zhou Ziwu's first impression of him cannot be said to be good or bad. He just felt that he was a man of God with an indifferent temperament and a high level of artistic standards.
He didn't know if Lu Tianhua was easy to get along with, but even if it wasn't easy, he wouldn't worry about it. After all, there were two eldest brothers in the same group.
With these two keeping things under control, no one would dare to act recklessly.
After watching the grouping on the TV screen, the guests present had different expressions.
There are those who are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai with a smile, as if they have a plan in mind; there are those who are expressionless and cannot tell whether they are in good or bad mood; there are also those whose eyes are dull, as if they are mourning for their heirs and decide to show off.
Among the thirty-two brothers, each has a variety of main occupations, including singers, actors, dancers and musicians of various musical instruments.
The competition in "So You're Still Here" is more about singing. No matter what profession, singing must be added. For example, if you are a dancer, then sing and dance; if you are a guitar player, then sing; if you are an actor, then sing.
Just sing and act.
Anyway, no matter what career you focus on, you have to sing.
In this case, if you are drawn into the same group as a professional singer, you will naturally be happy because you can hug your lap. But if the group is full of people from other professions, your mood will not be so wonderful.
This means that they have a very high probability of becoming a group of soft persimmons that will be "annexed". This is still good, but if it gets worse, it is not impossible to eliminate them directly.
The cameras in the room faithfully recorded each brother's facial expressions and body movements.
Zhou Ziwu said: "Please rearrange your seats according to the groups."
"Squeak."
The chair rubs against the ground and makes a sound.
After a commotion, everyone sat down according to their own groups, from group a to group h.
Ji Shaogeng looked at the three teammates in Group F beside him, and a Buddha light suddenly lit up behind him.
Now, he feels that he has no desires and desires.
After all, you can't expect two actors, a pianist, and a guitarist to "go shopping" with other groups with professional singers, right?
Moreover, the concert only starts in two days. It is unrealistic to expect these two days of practice to bring us closer to professional singers.
"Our group seems to be the weakest in the whole group." Pianist Shi Yongwen spoke.
Guitarist Yan Bo smiled bitterly and said: "You can be more confident and remove the appearance."
Mo Zengyu, another actor in the same group, said: "You are the best singer in our group, so you should be the leader."
"Whoosh!"
Another ray of Buddha's light lit up.
Yan Bo turned his head slightly, looked at Mo Zengyu, and said with a smile, "Okay."
He is the guitarist of the famous domestic rock band Soda Band. Previously, their band's lead singer Zhou Xinwang helped Xiong Yun enter the second round of the finals at the "The Strongest Sound" Singer Night.
In terms of performance, Yan Bo feels that he is not inferior to anyone.
It's okay to say that he is one of the most awesome guitarists in the country, but to actually let him sing is a bit confusing.
Normally, he would only play second fiddle to Zhou Xinwang, but now, he has become the best singer in the team.
If the program team allows him to surrender, he will buy a ticket now and carry the train home.
Seeing that his teammates also had the Buddha's light on their bodies, Ji Shaogeng smiled and said, "How about our team be called the As You Like It Band."
Yan Bo nodded, "The other teams' goal is to finally form a team. Otherwise, our team's goal is to have good food and drink. What do you think?"
Ji Shaogeng: "Raise your hands if you agree."
"Whoosh!"
Eight hands are raised high.
Smiles suddenly appeared on all four people's faces.
At this moment, the pressure disappeared.
It was also at this moment that among the eight teams in the field, the strongest team of Gods of Food was born.
Yan Bo smiled and said: "Okay, it seems that our team is working together. Then I will exercise my first right as captain."
"Classmate Shi Yongwen, you will be the executive deputy captain from now on."
"Ji Shaogeng and Mo Zengyu, you two are the vice-captains."
"..."
…
"What are they doing over there?" Fang Qin stretched his head and looked at the four people in Group F with their hands raised, and asked curiously: "Is this... surrendering without fighting?"
Zhang Beifeng looked at the relaxed smiles on the faces of the four of them and commented: "They have a plan in mind. I think this should be their team's special way of cheering. It seems that their team has a big move."
Lu Tianhua said: "Every team cannot be underestimated."
He doesn't know about others. Anyway, he has prepared quite well for this show and uses himself to help others. Others should also have unexpected abilities, so they should not be underestimated.
Fang Qin said happily: "Don't be afraid, let them change in all kinds of ways, we have King Ziwu bombing."
After the failure of "The Strongest Voice", the great success of "The Hills", and the astonishment of "Zhou Ziwu", he has transformed into the number one Zhou Biao in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Ziwu was numb.
Are you sure this uncle is not his enemy?
Why do you attract hatred to yourself wherever you go?
…
After we were divided into groups, it was almost dinner time.
Eight groups of thirty-two people gathered in the restaurant to enjoy delicious food.
While other teams were chatting and eating, the Anti-Involution Alliance, which had expanded to four members, began team building in the restaurant...
