After deciding on the center of the theme song, the most important thing now is to record the theme song.
The songs that the trainees heard before were pre-recorded demos, but if they wanted to perform the theme song on stage, they needed to record it in person.
In the Korean entertainment industry, there is a very serious "part" culture, that is, fans are particularly keen to separate and plan the length of each member's arias in a song.
But for a chorus-style theme song like "PICK ME", there is not much difference in the length of each verse. The production team is experienced in this aspect, and they changed a method - using the number of shots to separate the popular and unpopular ones. Popular trainee.
Pei Yourong naturally didn't have to worry about her appearance, but like most trainees, she was genuinely curious about the recording.
One of the secrets to singing well is to sing with emotion.
Pei Yourong knew this well.
The recording progress of the entire song was very fast, and without giving the trainees much time to rest, the production team arranged for them to go to Incheon for their first group stage rehearsal.
The first group stage for all the trainees of "pd48" is the singing program "M! Countdown". This is the first opportunity arranged by Mnet for them to appear.
"M! Countdown" belongs to Mnet, which is a music television channel owned by South Korean entertainment giant CJ. It has contracted the production of PD series, such as "Super Star K", "Show Me the Money" and "Sixteen". It's all in their programs.
If stage performances are like exams, then for the trainees of "pd48", the temporary stage in the suburban studio can only be regarded as a small class exam room.
And the stage they saw now in Incheon was a national-level, huge official examination room.
Not only is it big, it's gorgeous.
It was a very large stage in the shape of a diamond. In the dark purple-based studio, the big diamond looked even more shining.
Jiang Huiyuan at the back of the crowd was dazzled for a moment. She likes such shiny things.
"A-level trainees please come on stage first." This voice came from the speaker.
Then, Jiang Huiyuan saw a cluster of pink swarming onto the stage, and then naturally stood in the middle position.
After A, there is B, then C and D. According to the level classification method, the four levels of trainees spread from the inside to the outside, occupying the entire stage.
As F, Jiang Huiyuan was not qualified to stand on it. She was destined to be unable to glimpse the scenery that only existed on the stage.
Different levels are not only assigned different positions, but also have separate rehearsal times.
Class F's rehearsal was scheduled to the end.
The lights were turned on, and even during the rehearsal, the cameras in various positions were still operating at full capacity. The bright theme song clearly sounded in the studio as the background sound. According to the method that had been arranged long ago, the trainees practiced over and over again. Stage position.
Like other trainees in Class F, Jiang Huiyuan did not follow the high-level trainees in their rehearsals to practice their parts.
She was looking up without blinking, and her quiet look made people feel as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Suddenly, a layer rose up in the middle of the diamond-shaped stage. That was the position occupied by the Class A trainees. The crowd of Class F trainees beside them burst into exclamations, but they were soon interrupted by the loud sound of music. submerged.
The image of the stage rising is destined to be unforgettable for Jiang Huiyuan. Such a dazzling and extremely simple way of appearing is exactly the debut she has longed for.
And in everyone's surprised eyes, the stage that had been raised once, slowly floated up again in the center.
Just enough room for one person.
Jiang Huiyuan could never forget that moment, how irresistibly those lights occupied her eyes in an instant.
Those lights came not from the lights on the stage, but from the man in the center. She rarely sees such beautiful people. Although she is also a girl, this scene can only be described as gorgeous and dazzling to her.
She did know that it was not just that face, but something unspeakable that made that person look sparkling and dazzling, so dazzling that it made her eyes dazzle, but she still stared blankly. She couldn't look away.
The rise of the stage continued slowly, and after reaching a peak, it suddenly stopped. Jiang Huiyuan suddenly felt that this rising stage was like the bus that day——
It also started suddenly, sitting side by side at first, and finally sent one person to A and the other to F.
Just like now, one of them is at the top and the other is at the bottom.
So similar.
If she had a mobile phone, Jiang Huiyuan would definitely take a photo of this scene and save it, but she didn't.
So she had to compare her hand to a camera, use her fingers as the lens frame, and finally pointed it at the top.
As if by coincidence, when Jiang Huiyuan did this, her subject suddenly turned his head, like a real performance idol looking for the lens, and found her simple hand-made camera.
Jiang Huiyuan blinked hard subconsciously, as if pressing the shutter. When this action was completed, even she couldn't help but laugh.
She was also afraid that the scene just now was just her illusion. After all, the stage was so big, and the people on it looked like they were looking at each other.
And that gaze was like a light, and when Jiang Huiyuan turned around, it was still staring at her blankly.
In this way, the illusion becomes even stronger.
It wasn't until the man waved gently to her that the illusion was slowly dispelled.
Time seems to go back to the first day.
"My name is Pei Yourong, what's yours?"
