When producing the title song for New Wave Youth League, Xiao Qian was actually quite embarrassed.
Compared to girl groups, it is too difficult to appropriate the works of boy groups.
In the history of Chinese pop music, only two boy bands have achieved fame.
One is the Little Tigers and the other is TFboys.
But the music of these two groups is not suitable for the New Style Youth League.
The works of Little Tigers are somewhat behind the times. Now if we play that kind of fresh music, it won't cause much waves.
TFboys’ songs are too juvenile, and even their image is different from New Wave Youth Group.
Originally, there was another way, that is, to appropriate the songs of Korean boy bands. But Chinese translation is a big problem. After all, the difference between Chinese, Korean and English is very big, and the difficulty of Chinese translation is very high.
Also, it’s not a good time to use a Korean boy band’s song.
The current Korean entertainment industry is in a period of transition from first-generation groups to second-generation groups, but it has not completely changed yet.
During this period, it is impossible to use the music of the first generation group to beat the original Korean version. If the music of the second generation group or even later generations is used, it will not be accepted by the times.
In 2001, if you released "Sorry Sorry", would it be a hit?
Sorry, I'm sure I'll be in trouble.
It’s not that the song is bad, it’s that it doesn’t match the aesthetics of this era.
After much thought, she really couldn't find a suitable boy band project, so Xiao Qian had no choice but to start with people she knew.
Anyway, we have gathered so much wool from Zhou Tianwang, so this one is not missing, right?
Among all Zhou Tianwang's works, there are not many songs suitable for boy bands, only "Nunchaku" has no problems.
Although "Nunchaku" is a Chinese-style hip-hop song, because of its bright style and intense rhythm, it is not difficult at all to adapt it into a dance song.
Everyone finished listening to the song very quickly, and everyone’s expressions were wonderful.
When they saw the title of the song, everyone knew that it should be a song related to martial arts.
They originally thought it would be a piece like "Chinese Kung Fu" sung by Tu Xiaogang, or a piece with an ancient charm like Qu Qi's "A Chic Walk".
I just didn't expect this to be a hip-hop song.
But the arrangement of this song...
"It's amazing, it's really amazing. Xiao Qian, how do you have such a brain? How can you combine traditional instruments and Western instruments so cleverly?"
Liu Zhihao did not hesitate to praise him at all, and looked at Xiao Qian with eyes filled with admiration.
Even though they had grown up together, they had seen many of Xiao Qian's miracles. But Xiao Qian's performance this time still scared him.
Lin Linlin was also very excited.
"This song is not pure Hip-hop, I really like the rock style in it."
The meaning of everyone's over and over again is very simple, that is, they all admire Xiao Qian's innovation in music creation.
Although this song is very strange, it is very touching and makes people want to stop listening to it.
We are all veterans, and everyone knows very well that as soon as this song is released, it will become popular.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's start working."
Li Qingjue led Lin Linlin and Liu Zhihao to mix the songs and prepare for subsequent recording.
Xiao Qian called Xi Mengjuan and Yang Yue and asked them to be responsible for the choreography.
"As for the song, since it's called nunchaku, it wouldn't make sense if the dance moves don't include some nunchucks, right?"
As soon as he came up, Xiao Qian mentioned the key points.
Yang Yue listened to the song once and agreed with Xiao Qian's point of view.
"This is not a big problem. Those five children all have a certain foundation in martial arts. As for the nunchaku, they will definitely be able to master it after some practice."
The trainees of the New Wave Youth League are trained very hard and extensively, including not only singing and dancing, but also acting, movement and many other subjects.
In the future, there will be endless cross-border development phenomena of artists. Xu Wenyang and the five have such good images, it would be a pity not to act.
So when they were still trainees, they received very strict acting and action training. Now if they are asked to act in action scenes, they will become more familiar with it even faster than ordinary actors.
Yang Yue came here as a reference for the nunchaku movements, and the choreography had to be done by Xi Mengjuan.
While Xiao Qian and Yang Yue were talking, Xi Mengjuan just put on her headphones and played the melody over and over again.
The dance movements must follow the rhythm of the music, otherwise, it will be a failure.
After listening to it five times, she gave her opinion.
"This song has a very fast tempo, so the dance movements cannot be slow. My suggestion is to use the step-intensive pop dance as a basis and add some martial arts elements to the upper body movements. Also, their costumes are best to wear
Pants with a belt so you can fasten the nunchucks to your lower back. Take them out when you use them, and put them back in when not in use."
Xiao Qian couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
"In that case, the clothing requirements for them would be too strict."
After the New Style Youth League debuts, there will definitely be no shortage of performance stages. But if the costumes are too monotonous, it will seriously affect the performance effect.
He thought for a while and came up with a setting.
"Do you think this will work? We can customize a nunchaku cover, just like a scabbard or scabbard, and hang it on their waist. When it is time to use it, the action of pulling out the nunchaku can be like that of a Western cowboy.
Like a gun."
Xiao Qian just gestured and immediately made Xi Mengjuan and Yang Yue clap their hands.
"This action is so cool. It can pay tribute to Bruce Lee and is also unique. I estimate that after this performance is released, many people in the outside world will imitate it."
After the release of the "Nunchuck" in the previous life, many people played with the nunchaku.
Now with the addition of beautiful moves and beautiful suits, you can imagine that there will be many people hanging around with nunchucks on their waists.
As for whether you can hit someone or be hit by someone, it all depends on your own destiny.
For today's choreography, Yang Yue specially brought nunchucks.
Although his family's ancestral tradition was Tai Chi, Bruce Lee's influence was too great, so Yang Yue also practiced nunchaku.
In order to let Xi Mengjuan understand the nunchuck routine, he demonstrated it on the spot.
Xi Mengjuan immediately had an idea.
"If five people are playing nunchaku together, the distance between them must be widened, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Nunchucks are different from other weapons in that their dangers are unpredictable.
Other weapons can hurt people if they are not used well, and nunchucks are not used well...
You can even hurt yourself.
The nunchucks were added to the dance just to enrich the performance. If the five boys were injured, it would be too much of a loss.
Xiao Qian also thought about it.
"For the chorus part, just use the nunchucks and perform the hum-ha-ha-ha. For the rest of the part, just use basic dance moves."
After being a dance teacher for so many years, Xi Mengjuan's ability has improved significantly. After a while, she already had an idea.
"I've thought of a set of dance steps, please help me."
With that said, she stood up and took off her jacket, making her entire body more slender.
She is a full 1.74 meters tall. She is very powerful when dancing, and her body and lines are unparalleled in beauty.
The dance steps designed by Xi Mengjuan are very simple, mainly stomping and crossing the steps to the rhythm, and the movements are derived from various martial arts moves on the upper body, which is very dazzling.
"Well, you, a girl, look so good when you dance. If it were Xu Wenyang and the others, the sense of power would be even greater, and the effect would be explosive."
When he said this, it meant that he approved Xi Mengjuan's design.
"Well, give me half a month and I'll come up with a complete dance routine."
She is an action person and does what she says. She stood up, clapped her hands, and called the choreography team over.
"Boys, let's get to work."
Seeing Xi Mengjuan leading people to work in a distant place, Xiao Qian lowered her voice and asked Yang Yue: "How far have you progressed?"
When Yang Yue and Xi Mengjuan met for the first time, they started engaging in firefighting.
This made Xiao Qian puzzled.
Yang Yue doesn't look good either. Among the three Yang brothers, he looks like a pick-up.
As the first generation trainee of Starlight, Xi Mengjuan is the number one dancer. She is tall, has long legs, and has a sculptural beauty. Why did she fall in love with him?
When asked about personal matters, Yang Yue no longer looked like a martial arts master and his face turned red.
"Just...just like that."
Xiao Qian kept asking questions.
"Then when will you get married?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Yue glanced at him carefully before speaking in a hushed tone.
"Xiaojuan... although she doesn't say anything, she always seems to be angry in her heart. She... she is a little unwilling."
