The singing on the stage and the cheers from the audience merged into billowing sound waves, penetrating the corridors and walls of the backstage, making "Thousand Colors" blood boil.
Liang Yixuan grabbed the drumsticks in the air and played the air drum to the beat of the next song "Not Gray".
I was really suffocating.
Because Qi Shuang and the others are performing on the road, many songs have been released in advance. Sometimes when the mood strikes, it's no problem to submit a performance track or perform a cappella on the spot. But "Thousand Colors" is different. Their process from their debut to the present has been very standard. They still have many works at the bottom of the box, waiting for the right time to slowly release them.
He is obviously very proficient but can't show it off. It's like a hundred claws are scratching his heart and it's extremely itchy.
Otherwise, these half-grown young men would not be looking forward to their debut concert every day to vent their long-suppressed excitement and passion.
"You're back?" Shi Yan suddenly raised his head, and the timing of speaking perfectly coincided with the moment Xia Song opened the door.
Yang Jihan tilted his head, still not understanding why he could capture the footsteps of Xia Song, whose presence was so low.
"Still angry?" Yu Lan smiled gently and handed over a bottle of water.
Xia Song took it without drinking it and handed it to Shi Yan. He only nodded his chin in response to Yu Lan's question.
"Come on stage later and show them off!" Liang Yixuan knew what Xia Song was angry about, and he was also holding fire in his stomach.
This "they" does not refer to UNGREY, but to the recent black men with ulterior motives.
Maybe it's because "Qianse"'s performance on the Silk and Bamboo Chart is too high-profile, or maybe it's because "Not Gray" has a large number of fans on the Internet, and those people can't reach out. In short, these domestic competing companies are targeting them again. "Thousand Colors".
They don't do big things, but they use secret tricks in an endless stream, annoying people like flies.
The very beginning is a marketing account title:
"Shocking, "Thousand Colors" captain Shi Yan was riding in a car with a woman late at night, and they met and behaved intimately! 》
Yangliu Entertainment silently clarified: Hello, that is Shi Yan’s teammate Yu Lan...
Then another headline:
""Thousand Colors"" Liang Yixuan left hair ropes and hairpins in the hotel room, and it is suspected that he was recruiting someone during the performance! 》
Yangliu Entertainment silently clarified: Hello, those things belong to Liang Yixuan’s teammate Xia Song, and the assistant has gone back to pick them up...
Immediately afterwards, a third wave of unfounded charges also appeared:
""Thousand Colors"" Yang Jihan's boyfriend exploded at the airport, and he reached out to protect his girlfriend without fear of sight! 》
Yangliu Entertainment rolled its eyes and issued an announcement: Hello, first of all, the photo was shot out of place, and secondly, the woman is their general manager Liu Huajun...
Because the rumors were so feeble-minded, the Qiansehua people were all giddy after watching it, and for a long time they regarded these inexplicable "dirty materials" as jokes.
After that, another press release came, excerpting what Shi Yan once said in "Accidental Live Broadcast", "We don't rely on selling boyfriend characters to attract fans", and using Chunqiu calligraphy to write a special book, it turned into " 'Qianse' attacked all idol artists in the country and made no secret of the insults during the live broadcast." Then, from the perspective of star-chasing fans, he lamented that they clearly rely on their fans to support them, but they still act and stand up, and they are unqualified as idols.
Between the lines, I did not forget to refer to the past "plagiarism" incident again and ridicule it, and wrote the good facts as:
In the past, "Thousand Colors" was accused of plagiarism, and it was only through the support of fans that they could survive the crisis. Who would have thought that they would treat their fans like leeks, and this is the character and artistry that tops the Silk and Bamboo Charts?
This trick was hidden in the nonsense scandal rumors in the past, and it came out unexpectedly, which really had a great impact on "Qianse".
However, before Yangliu Entertainment could come forward to respond, the big fan in Qiansehua asked in confusion:
"Isn't that right? Calling me husband and wife is just a way of saying I am happy. I usually regard them as younger brothers. Who is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old idol who can have a true dream? Can your marketing account not use the words of fans as a gun? Well, who is with you, did I agree?"
Immediately, rock fans represented by Chen Ying and ordinary music listeners like Sun Yuankai also felt that they were bombarded by the map, asking question marks one after another to retort:
"Is everything okay? You guys, do you think I'm a fan of 'Qianse'? I just listened to the song. Their music is good. What's wrong if I buy an album and I'm going to be labeled as a fan?"
"That's right, is it possible for a grown man like me to treat some brats as my boyfriend? You guys are so shady."
"It was really hilarious to watch the crowd. There are several popular songs of 'Thousand Colors' there. It really became popular because of the good works. It's not a boyfriend persona to sell. Why, why don't you let Shi Yan tell the truth?"
"Passers-by, I was just listening to the song, but I didn't expect this to happen. Nowadays, there are not many celebrities who can speak for themselves with their strength and not sell their personality. I am quite 'Qianse' for this!"
Those who can be swayed by things in the rice circle are basically people in the rice circle. The only people who were inexplicably broken by the press release that complained about the fans were those fans who had been brainwashed by the fandom mentality for too long and Du Wei who had their own selfish motives.
But "Thousand Colors" has a huge crowd of passers-by. Some people don't mind being represented and being targeted, so they come out to retort. Most people don't care about these idols and fans at all. They should listen to the music or not. Song, "Thousand Colors" has been surrounded by negative public opinion for a few days at most, but the actual reviews and sales results have not changed much.
The people behind the scenes who were smearing people couldn’t think outside the box about how to operate the rice circle, and were once again hit head-on by the difference between “depth and breadth”.
After this wave of rhythm passed, the competing companies stopped for a few days. As a result, not long after, another targeted attack appeared:
""Thousand Colors"" is full of open-mic characters, and the lip-syncing is real during the performance! 》
The people who wrote this press release are not evil. Firstly, they deny "Thousand Colors" in terms of their strength. Secondly, they use the plagiarism incident to claim that their works and achievements have dirty origins. Finally, they do not forget to use "not gray" to slap them down. He said, "The senior sister group had real talent but was maliciously kept in cold storage by the company. They were released only after their results improved. However, the treatment of 'Qianse''s own son went smoothly. It is true that Yangliu Entertainment favors boys over girls."
The article of just a few hundred words brought out the rhythm everywhere. Fans and passers-by were labeled as "brainless" when they argued rationally. In addition, there were some back-and-forth in it that muddied the waters. Reading it back and forth made people's blood pressure rise.
Liu Huajun did the opposite and immediately summoned a group of navy troops to slander "Qianse" with false words, and then let another group of people expose them, such as:
"I am a firework, and the junior group is really not good. The combined singing skills are not as good as the solo singing of Team Qi's livehouse, and the sales volume is not to mention. They are all driven by fans. They are far behind my sister #蠠 nose."
【? Don’t be too ridiculous, old man. Practice your skills of hiding behind the scenes, it’s too obvious]
[Uh, I just saw the exact same words [screenshot] elsewhere. I copied and pasted them together without changing them at all.]
[The level 1 trumpet, the initial avatar, and the homepage are all scolding "Qianse", just a few words over and over again, I don't need to say more about the truth of the matter #沙手]
There were many similar things. In the end, even the melon-eaters thought they had found a way out and shook their heads:
"Hey, it looks like they are a navy bandit. The Dragon Kingdom has finally created a boy band that can sing, dance, and play a band. Some people must think that the cake has been tampered with by Yangliu Entertainment. They are so low-end, I really can't stand it. Yes, reported!"
"I'm a music person, and I don't want to take sides, but what this company is doing is really retarded. I don't think that without 'Thousand Colors', people will listen to the songs of your idols..."
Although these enthusiastic passers-by only reached the second level of Liu Huajun's plan, what they understood was indeed the truth, so the balance of this public opinion war once again tilted towards "Qianse".
As the party involved, Shi Yan and the others called Liu Huajun when they were making a fuss outside. Liu Huajun on the other end of the phone was both pleased and loving:
"Don't think too much, just train hard and prepare the stage carefully. These are adults' matters, leave them to me."
He added: "We who are pure will be self-cleansed, so we have nothing to fear."
Shi Yan was very sensible and responded obediently.
But I knew in my heart that both myself and my teammates were holding back a fire.
They had read the article that set the scene in motion. The matter of "plagiarism" had been clarified and resolved a long time ago. The resource competition and patriarchal preference for "not gray" were even more nonsense. Only the first item made "Thousands of People" "Color" everyone is worried about.
What do you mean, we are not all Kaimai?
Are you saying we lip-synched?
Who do you look down on! ! !
"The 'real-life' video attached to the black draft is outrageous. The stage was a problem with the program. The accompaniment volume, headset and hand microphone volumes were not adjusted properly, so Yu Lan and Jihan's singing volume was normal. I , Xia Song and Brother Xuan’s voices are very low.”
At that time, Shi Yan was sitting in the dance practice room of the training base and sighed, "Because of this, some people say that only when the voice is low is the real singing, and that Yu Lan and Ji Han are lip-synching. Some people say that only Yu Lan and Ji Han are lip-synching." Han sings well, but the other three don’t, so the sound is inaudible.”
"Then...then there are some Qiansehua. They mean well, but they misunderstood. In the comments, they defended that the rap was like this because someone was not in good condition that day. It is normal to perform poorly once after playing too many songs. .
"Some Huahua said that she was at the scene at the time and didn't hear anything wrong. The person who issued the press release must have adjusted the video later to discredit it... Well, it would be better to say that she was trying to clear her name."
Shi Yan put his hand on his forehead: "These are all nothing."
Xing Yufei, who heard his soft complaints, reached out and pinched his face twice:
"Where are the other artists of the same period as you?"
Shi Yan showed an expression that said, "It's not convenient for me to say, but you understand."
Xing Yufei understood instantly.
Other idol groups have the same half-open mic and super loud pad sound as always. Anyway, they are drowned out by the music and pad sound. The volume setting of the microphone has no effect on them, and their performance seems to be very stable.
"What about the people outside the group? Singers and stuff."
"They were also affected." Shi Yan answered truthfully, "At that time, I was still backstage and heard Teacher Liu complaining that the microphone was not good today and that he had to sing very loudly, which was very unfriendly to the voice."
"Well..." Xing Yufei thought for a moment, "In this case, I guess Sister Liu is already doing it."
Sure enough, as she said, Liu Huajun quickly sent someone to prove that the volume of the microphone was abnormal, and because other artists were involved, many friendly singer fans came to help "Qianse" and said bluntly, "The XX I was following was singing at that time. The sound is also very small, and 'Thousand Colors' is not an exception at all, it is obviously a tuning problem."
People who just spread rumors and refute them will lose their legs. No matter what, people who want to criticize "Qianse" just close their eyes and open their mouths and just spit out. Some people even trace the origin to their first stage and say it in a serious way, like "I know someone here." "Backstage at the music and dance show", "'Thousand Colors' was lip-synching at the time", "They also deliberately adjusted the microphones of other idol groups, so that they were the only ones who could sing at the scene." Balabala...
When this false news was fermented, "QianSe" happened to be singing in the music and dance show again. The host Zou Jie, who is famous for his awkward chats, mentioned that the last time they came, it was their first time on stage, and started the topic by the way.
"Is there anything impressive that happened at that time?" Zou Jie asked.
This is also a classic snake oil question. Whether it is a formal answer of "I am very nervous and excited to perform on stage for the first time", or a different way to tell some of the members' backstage jokes, it is suitable.
Then Shi Yan didn't think twice and was very honest: "Yu Lan was so beautiful when I posed at the end. I was attracted to her for a moment."
There were screams and laughter from the audience.
"Why come again!!"
"It's fixed, it's fixed, I'm not surprised anymore."
"Hahahahahaha, the captain must mention this every time."
"Especially this is my second time coming to the music and dance show. I knew what the rhythm teacher was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth."
"Laughing to death, Shi Yan's entire impression of the first stage: Yu Lan is so beautiful."
"I have to say it on the show, I have to say it in interviews, and I have to say it in the backstage footage, do you love the little gopher that much?"
Amid the chatter of the laughing fans, Zou Jie took advantage of the opportunity to cue Yu Lan, using a very old-fashioned way: "So, it's Yu Lan who impressed Shi Yan the most. Is there anything that impressed you about Yu Lan?"
Yu Lan showed a shy smile.
Xia Song, who was sitting behind him, was instantly alert.
Yu Lan: "This may sound a bit revealing... but I actually think it's quite cute."
Another host Ruoyun answered with a smile: "Oh? What kind of thing is it?"
Yu Lan replied sheepishly: "That's right, when we first performed on stage, the squad leader and I had a duet."
Shi Yan blinked and recalled.
Indeed, Yu Lan asked him backstage if he wanted to keep a souvenir for his first time on stage, and then deliberately changed a few words in the chorus line.
Yu Lan then laughed and said: "I don't know if the captain was too excited. He seemed to have forgotten the lyrics during the official performance and changed it to something else temporarily. I thought it was so cute at the time."
Shi Yan:?
Shi Yan: "Huh? Wait a minute, it's not you—"
Yu Lan immediately changed his tune very naturally: "Ah, yes, I'm sorry, I sang it wrong."
Shi Yan:? ? ?
Yu Lan coughed lightly, still looking shy, and concluded slowly:
"Anyway, it was just such an episode... Even though the lyrics were not right, it was still a very special memory and left a deep impression."
Shi Yan was confused and amused, and punched Yu Lan lightly with an unbearable look on his face.
What are you doing, you guy! Why did you suddenly "slander" me!
Yu Lan didn't hide either, and looked at Shi Yan with an innocent look on his face. He couldn't hold back his laughter but could not hold it back too much. He quickly turned his head away and snickered while Zou Jie was interviewing Yang Jihan in the back row.
Shi Yan was even more confused. As a habit, he quietly grabbed Yu Lan's hand underneath and angrily drew a question mark on his palm.
Yu Lan only blinked and said nothing, smiled but said nothing.
The fans in the audience had their eyes widened in disbelief, trying to find a "truth" among the dense candies and information.
"Hey, there seems to be a line on the first stage that the two people sang differently!"
"Yes, I remember it too! The video of the first stage was played over and over again many times. It seems that what Yu Lan sang was the lyrics from the album, and what Shi Yan sang was something else?"
"That's right! I was also very impressed. Yu Lan sang 'Please hold my hand tightly' and Shi Yan sang 'Please interlock your fingers with me'."
"Ah? What happened? I thought it was a design at the time, but after a while it turned out that the team leader sang the wrong words? Hahahahahahaha?"
"Why is there such a behind-the-scenes story?! It's so funny!!!"
"It's bad. Now people all over the country know that Shi Yanchu forgot his lyrics on stage and changed them. He was so funny."
"It's so shameful hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"The improvised adaptation of the lyrics is so strong hhhh it's okay Yan Yan, we don't mind! We really didn't laugh at you! Pfft!"
"The shameful and angry expression of the captain just now was so funny. Please help the photographer. I must see this part when it is broadcast!"
"Shi Yan: 'Why did you say it?!' Yu Lan: 'Oh my fault, my fault, I sang it wrong.'"
"Yu Lan, don't be too doting, just leave the blame to yourself! o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓"
"I hit my shoulders and held hands secretly. I really saved my life. Now young couples don't betray others when they fall in love, right?"
Amid the excited but forcibly suppressed whispers, a Qiansehua, who was not a CP addict, suddenly realized:
"That's right! Shi Yan sang the wrong words. If it was lip-syncing, how could he have sung the wrong words live?! If it wasn't full open mic, how could Shi Yan, who made up the lyrics on the fly, sing at exactly the same volume as Yu Lan?!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the audience suddenly burst into discussion.
The field controller quickly controlled the restless fans. After that, "Thousand Colors" performed as usual. Shi Yan raised the octave harmony, Yang Jihan temporarily changed the key, and Liang Yixuan changed the B-BOX drum beat. The whole song was full of fancy skills, obviously It is a silent declaration of war on rumors with practical actions.
Fans at the scene immediately posted the behind-the-scenes story revealed during Yu Lan's interview on Vblog after leaving the venue, and more Qiansehua immediately went back to check out the stage video.
Shi Yan's "wrong words" were sung extremely clearly and loudly, and were even supported by the later subtitles of the music and dance show.
This just proves the gold content of their whole wheat!
Looking back, this kind of inconsistency in chorus lyrics never happened again in the performances after the first stage, which further proves that what Yu Lan said is true.
An unexpected "mistake" caused the rumors of "Thousand Colors" to lip-sync.
Fans are talking about it, and passers-by also find it strange and interesting to eat the melon. This incident spread quickly, and because of its interest, it spread even wider than those slanderous press releases.
At the end of the story, even people who have no interest in the entertainment industry knew that someone was secretly trying to create rumors about "Thousand Colors" and they lip-synched. Unexpectedly, the leader of "Qian Color" was too nervous when he debuted on stage and sang the wrong lyrics, which was a foreshadowing. After being buried for thousands of miles, a few months later it became strong evidence that they were really singing with full open mic.
That night, the five people returned to the hotel not knowing how it would develop.
After realizing it later, Shi Yan praised his teammate for cleverly clarifying the fact that the whole song was open on the pretext of singing a wrong song. Xia Song took advantage of him to take a shower and stared coldly at Yu Lan with his arms folded.
"Did you plan it early in the morning?" he said expressionlessly.
"What?" Yu Lan just blinked, smiling softly and looking innocent.
