Wu Heren watched their dance movements carefully. [No pop-up novel website] Although he was a traffic policeman, he was an idol nerd in the past. His greatest pleasure in another time and space was to fly around the country and the country during his vacation - and occasionally abroad - to work with idol groups, The girls from the maid cafe and the home dance troupe observed and interacted. He has a thorough knowledge of the characteristics, history, and personal circumstances of various groups, and knows every detail.
Start your own idol group! This was his biggest ideal after traveling through time and space, even though he couldn't help but return to his profession after D-Day. If he established a formal literary and artistic group during the arduous entrepreneurial stage, he would be criticized by the Industrial Party as "a waste of resources for sentimentality." Naturally, he would not be able to get ahead, and besides, he could not find a girl who matched his aesthetic taste in this time and space. But this dream has never been extinguished. On the contrary, it became more and more intense in the silence. During several years of dormancy, he gradually gathered his companions. Seeing that the first five-year plan was about to be completed, the Senate's manpower, material resources and financial resources had undergone earth-shaking changes, and his ideals finally surfaced.
The Plaid Skirt Club was not so much founded by Yuan Ziguang as it was the result of their instigation. What kind of idol does Yuan Ziguang know? He is just an ACG uniform controller. If it were not for the establishment of a broader united front and the convenience of selecting female students, such "impure elements" would not have the turn to represent themselves.
For now, let him "represent" the first stage. Anyway, with multiple people and multiple sponsors, running a literary and art group is a costly business. If he hadn't become one of the five hundred in this time and space, he would really not dare to play this.
He was now looking at the girls who were dancing hard in the uniforms he "designed". Fully enjoying the feelings of Junjun or Akimoto Yasu.
The dance in "21st Century Love Revolution" is the choreography of early Morning Musume songs. It seems a bit outdated by the standards of the 21st century, but it is still a typical idol dance. The rhythm is strong and the action choreography is simple. Liu Shuixin remembered it after watching the video files of "Good Morning Musume Official Tutorial" several times. It is easier for people without professional dance background to get started.
Even so, it is not easy for most people to memorize one and a half minutes of dance moves in two days and keep them in time. Even domestic dance troupes, cosplay troupes and even so-called professional groups often fail to follow the rhythm when dancing. So Wu Heren didn't really care about this.
What he was most concerned about was the strength of their dancing. Wu Heren knew that girls like them, who had little physical training at most, would not be able to have the expressiveness and coordination of professional dancers. It would be nice to keep up the pace. When dancing, it can only be a mechanical imitation, not expressive, and most of the movement connections are incoherent. There is an obvious sense of stagnation, and the biggest problem is that the dance is too "soft".
Once the dance is "soft", the whole dance will make people feel "not in place". No matter how skilled the movements are. It also lacks enough beauty.
Although Liu Shuixin looks delicate and frail, her body movements are very powerful when dancing. Of course, this is a professional level. During the last shared training, Liu Shuixin had already told them to pay attention to this point. In Wu Hiren's opinion. Applicants must be able to leave the impression that they are "dancing hard" rather than "paddling". In terms of dancing, I am basically qualified.
He noticed that most of the dances in the previous groups felt soft, and there were not many girls who could show "power". He carefully checked the numbers of a few girls that he felt quite satisfied with.
The one-and-a-half-minute dance ended quickly. Wu Furen whispered a few words to Dongmen Chuiyu, and then said a few words to Liu Shuixin. He stood up:
"Next, you repeat this dance, and be sure to smile this time. It doesn't matter even if you make a mistake, but the expression on your face cannot stop. Please smile and dance seriously."
"yes--"
The music started playing again. Because I have already jumped once. When a girl with weaker physical strength could not keep up with the rhythm, Wu Furen drew a cross under her number without hesitation.
The music stopped.
"Everyone's performance this time is much better than before. So smiling is really important." Wu Jiren commented, "When you dance, you must first keep smiling, but just keeping smiling is not enough. You must also put your own smile on it." Emotions are conveyed to the audience. So when dancing, the eyes must be focused, understand? It cannot be a blank feeling. Although you were all looking at us just now, your eyes were wandering and completely devoid of emotion."
Next is the singing session. The song chosen is a Chinese pop song with a simple rhythm and no historical background. It is basically a "saliva song" and is easy to pick up. Liu Shuixin took them to prepare, and smiled at Wu Heren and said, "I didn't expect that you are quite knowledgeable about acting."
"My personal experience is not professional." Wu Heren felt a little proud: After all, I have watched tens of thousands of video files, and there are no less than hundreds of programs selected by idols, so I still understand this basic concept.
"No wonder you are so keen on starting an idol group. You are a senior fan." Liu Shuixin flipped up her messy hair, "But according to my opinion, not only are these girls weak in foundation, but their qualifications are also not very good. Even if they invest, They put a lot of effort into training, but it is far inferior to the few they selected from the East..."
"Teacher Liu, you don't understand this. The so-called idol groups don't need to be too high-profile, and even appearance is not the first priority. Immaturity and youthfulness are both selling points. It can even be said that the 'sense of inferiority' is also attractive. An element of..."
Liu Shui burst into laughter and said, "I really have you..."
This smile made her features picturesque and tender. Even though she was a wife and a mother, she was still charming. Wu Heren couldn't help but feel shocked: Sure enough, the expressiveness of professional actors is not good enough.
He quickly said seriously: "So I have to ask Teacher Liu for more training. Although the amateur feeling, no, the amateur feeling has a sense of intimacy, which can bring the audience closer, but as a performing arts group, after all, we still need to have a certain level of professionalism. Our club The only person I can rely on is you, a professional teacher."
"Don't worry. I wish I had something to do. Originally, my major was of no use, and it would be too childish to take physical classes for the maid class." Liu Shuixin, as the mainstay of the song and dance troupe, has nothing to do with singing and dancing. She is not good at it. She has been here with her husband for a few years, and basically has no chance to use her professional expertise. Fortunately, she has become a habit of practicing Kung Fu, and she has not lost her professional skills.
"You have to give classes to the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as to the art troupe and our club. It's really hard." Wu Heren quickly said a few words of courtesy. He was such a professional at the moment and had to flatter him. "Our Plaid Skirt Club is investing in several projects on clothing fabrics. If we have results, we will be the first to ask you to try them out."
"This is great. We have too little clothing fabrics here. When it comes to making performance costumes, no matter how much silk fabrics are available, they are not as useful as the synthetic fabrics of the old days."
The singing here is about to start, and the chat has come to an end.
Each singer is given a wooden fake microphone and sings to the judges in turn. The song chosen is a Chinese pop song with a simple rhythm and lyrics that have no historical background. It is a typical saliva song.
"Sing with your emotions," Liu Shuixin said, "Don't be afraid of making mistakes, sing with your heart."
Singing is not the strength of idol groups, nor is it even important. If the idol group's live singing is not lip-syncing or half-micing, it is often the scene of a car accident. However, in this time and space, the requirements cannot be lowered too low, because this time and space lacks sufficient technical equipment, and at best it can only provide loudspeakers. If they were to release records, it would be okay. At least they have semi-professional-level recording equipment. It would not be a problem to set up a simple recording studio. There are also related computer software for audio editing.
But when it comes to the scene, there is no professional performance audio equipment that can perform audio input and output effects, modify the mixing, and so on. Although several veterans said that as long as they can use management and control resources, they can DIY it, but it is meaningless without mass production. It can only be equipped with one theater at most and cannot be popularized.
Therefore, this selection also set higher standards for singing level. To avoid embarrassment during the live performance. In this time and space, gramophones have not yet been popularized and the consumption power level of the people is very low. It is meaningless to release records. The focus is on live performances.
After listening to several people's singing in turn, Liu Shuixin asked Wu Hiren while the sixth group had not come in yet, "Have you considered letting them sing?"
"Loose your voice? Do you want to practice your voice?"
"Yes, this is also voice training, but it is traditional Chinese voice training. The basic skills of opera actors." Liu Shuixin saw that he was confused and explained, "I wonder if our wired microphones and speakers can be produced by ourselves? What if we can produce them ourselves?" If it doesn't work for the time being, you have to hold your voice, otherwise in a theater with more than 100 seats, people in the back rows will basically be unable to hear."
"I'm not very sure about this, but it should be possible." Wu Heren was less confident, "Small theater performances are originally the main performance mode of our plan."
"In a small theater with about 100 people, the people in the last row can barely hear it through acoustic principles, but it also requires the performers on the stage to have a certain level of ability. If you have seen an unplugged concert, you will know that not ordinary people can It's done. Considering your background in choosing these girls, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult. Besides, in the future, this group will definitely go to the grassroots or perform in larger places, in large performance halls or open space performance stages. No matter how good your skills are, the performance cannot be guaranteed without amplification equipment." (To be continued...)
