Compared with the first performance, the second performance stage of "pd48" was generally similar.
It was also held at the original studio, and fans who voted were also invited through a lottery.
The difference is that the audience's voting method is replaced by voting machine voting, and the final competition method is not a group showdown, but a more intense intra-group competition.
After all, only the first place in each group can get 5,000 votes.
Just like last time, this time the trainees came to the studio in advance for rehearsal.
Before the rehearsal, the makeup still needs to be modified.
Coincidentally, the dressing room Pei Yourong came to today was the same one he used last time, and they were greeted by the same two Ernies from last time.
"Alice" focuses on a "paradise"-like atmosphere, and according to the setting, each member is a "fairy" who can bring visual baptism to the audience.
If you want to better highlight this style, the help of makeup artists and stylists is essential.
Team leader Jin Caiyuan described the group's style with two professionals.
As the idol industry becomes the mainstream of Kpop, even if no one denies that singers must have musicality and singing skills, the expansion from "music to listen to" to "music to watch", between musicality and singing skills, the "style-oriented appearance" The proportion is getting bigger and bigger.
In particular, the stage costumes give full play to the advantages of the idol group's personal bodies. While highlighting their own charm, they also become an element in completing gorgeous group dances and performances.
In order to present the best visual effect to the audience during the song that lasts only a few minutes, the stylists put their heart and soul into the costumes from planning meetings to production.
If you wear the same clothes on multiple stages, fans will compare you with other groups and express dissatisfaction directly, so you have to prepare a variety of designs and materials.
Going a step further, if a group comes back with a new album, twelve outfits usually have to be made for each member within two weeks.
KBS "Music Bank", MBC "Music Center", SBS "Inkigayo", Mnet "M! Countdown", MBC "SHOW CHAMPION", SBS M "The Show", etc. all prohibit wearing the same clothes.
The amount should not be underestimated. Based on the five idols, the minimum cost for a stage is 3.5 million won, and the maximum is even more than 10 million won.
Then again, in fact, as soon as the song selections for the Ergong stage were announced, the behind-the-scenes styling team began to conceive the costumes for each song, and made more detailed designs based on the selected members.
Because it is a song that has already been released, the design of the styling can refer to the original singing group. Most of the time, the styling team only needs to redesign it individually based on the style and image of the specific members.
Therefore, it seems that the trainees have not had contact with those stylists these days, but in fact, the stylists in front of them have seen them countless times through various documents and videos during this period.
"I also like "The World We Meet Again" very much, so please feel free to leave the styling to us this time." Stylist Oni said with a smile, "Actually, I was also in charge of Girls' Generation's "The World We Meet Again" back then. stage design."
"The costumes worn by some members at that time are still in the warehouse."
"Of course, even if I have the right to use improved clothes, it's not easy for you to wear those clothes now."
Some programs and companies will refurbish performance costumes, but whether it is in the past or now, it is absolutely mainstream to let idols wear new clothes. What's more, S&M is still a big company. They will not tolerate and have no need to let their artists wear old clothes. .
Unless it is a tribute-style reproduction of the MV or singing stage at the concert.
Therefore, used clothes are generally accumulated in warehouses, but the capacity of warehouses is not unlimited. The complex artist systems of large companies and their frequent returns have caused excessive accumulation of old clothes.
At this time, the company that spent the production cost will first ask the artist if he wants to collect these costumes, and then sell the performance costumes to various styling teams at a very low price.
Of course, when selling, the company will sign a regulation with the styling team that does not allow other artists to use it, but the costume stylist has the magic to transform the clothes, and the completely new clothes are naturally not bound by the regulations.
Another common situation is to destroy the clothing very roughly and then recycle the materials.
Mnet obviously also wants to let the trainees wear new performance costumes. After all, the performance stage is the top priority of a talent show.
After asking for everyone's personal information on the spot, Ernie, who was in charge of costume styling, left the room first. From what he said, it seemed that the staff had shipped some less clothes.
So now to deal with it.
Then it’s the makeup artist’s turn to perform.
"Your skin is still as good as ever."
Pei Yourong sat on the chair and sighed when he saw the makeup artist Ernie in the mirror, so he smiled shyly.
These stylists and makeup artists who have always been behind the scenes actually have a very wide communication circle within them, and the fastest and most popular news about artist makeup is circulated among them.
Who is responsible for the latest look of the popular team, who has won hot reviews with the latest style, whose makeup has caused dissatisfaction among fans, news like this will be conveyed to everyone in a very fast way.
At the same time that "pd48" was on the air, Pei Yourong, as the owner of the most played live-action video, was naturally paid attention to by those behind the scenes.
The two people who were responsible for Pei Yourong's stage styling last time were well received by most people in the industry, so when they learned that they would be responsible for Pei Yourong's stage styling again this time, the two people who came to design wanted to "do something big" in their hearts. thoughts.
"You Rongxi, your skin is very white. Although black is also very good, have you never considered dyeing your hair?"
"The main reason is that I don't like the color very much."
"In that case...because your theme color this time is not pure white? So do you want to try platinum gold?"
"Eh?"
Pei Yourong turned his head in surprise and looked at the makeup artist.
"But, is it too late? There will be a performance tomorrow."
"If you start bleaching your hair after the stage is over, you will have enough time. How about it? The color really suits you. Fans will be surprised to see you change your hair color, right?"
"What do you think of Caiyuan?" Pei Yourong was still a little hesitant, so she asked Jin Caiyuan. If the other person also thought it was good, then she decided to listen to the makeup artist.
"I also want to see you in different colors." Jin Caiyuan voted in favor.
"Then... okay." Pei Yourong nodded, and then spoke in a low voice to the makeup artist: "Sorry for the trouble, Ernie."
After the stylist came back with the clothes, he immediately arranged everyone's looks. This time there were no more mistakes. Pei Yourong and the others successfully completed a new makeup look.
As mentioned before, Alice's main color is white, so the clothes of the five members are mainly white.
The rehearsal stage also went very smoothly.
Because he had agreed to dye his hair, Pei Yourong did not go back with everyone when he finally returned. Instead, he went to the beauty salon with the stylist and the others.
By the time Pei Yourong returned to the dormitory, it was already getting dark, and her white hair stood out in the night.
Pei Yourong naturally likes the new hair color, but she always feels that such a color is too eye-catching, and she feels a sense of trepidation mixed with shyness. But if she wants to be an idol, it seems difficult to adapt to frequent hair color changes. A required course.
Therefore, Pei Yourong is somewhat conflicted in his heart.
She just opened the door to the dormitory with an uneasy feeling, while imagining how her roommate would react when he saw her later.
Two minutes later.
You could see five people surrounding Pei Yourong in the dormitory. Everyone stretched out their hands towards Pei Yourong's head.
Touch and see here, touch and see there.
"Wow, it feels really good."
"How did you grow your hair like this?"
"What a beautiful color."
Everyone was busy discussing, and no one cared what Pei Yourong in the middle was thinking. Fortunately, Pei Yourong was used to being treated like this——
Until she saw Jin Caiyuan twisting a section of her hair and sending it somewhere.
"Yeah! Don't stuff it into Ruina Oni's nostrils!!"
