Chapter 166: General's Order General's Order
"I Am the Only One in the World", big drum, electronic synthesized music.
A combination of Chinese traditional music and modern electronic music.
Electronic synthesized music is responsible for pleasing the ears, while the big drum is responsible for shocking the hearts.
This piece of music also has a core idea: "taking Chinese learning as the basis and applying Western learning for practical use".
After inheriting the brilliant five thousand years of glorious history and the treasures accumulated over five thousand years, and combining them with new things produced by the changes of the times, we will carry forward the Chinese culture and make it forever so awesome.
Compared with Wang Chuyang's group, the disadvantage of Zhang Die's group is that they are not good at dancing.
But this time, the stage effect was exceptionally good.
With the sound of the big drum, the sense of power explodes!
Zhang Die and Lin Jianqiu are responsible for the power part, and the dance moves are full of power.
Even fans who have watched many episodes of the show and liked the soft and clever side of things couldn't help but fill the screen with "Awesome!"
The bass drum disappeared with a loud bang. The electronic music was clever and beautiful, touching the human soul. In the sound waves, the lights on Zhang Die and Lin Jianqiu disappeared.
At the same time, the light flickered, and five other trainees appeared under the spotlight.
White shirt, black suit, clean, young and energetic.
However, as the music turned and became more graceful, five people actually performed modern dance on the stage!
Modern dance is not street dance, it emphasizes more on body control.
The level of performance displayed by these few people now is nothing like the dancers who only knew how to do cool idol moves one hundred and fifty days ago.
The combination of strength and softness is very good, giving people a feeling of sadness.
The sound of the bass drum began to rise faintly, and every beat of the bass drum was a powerful and tough movement.
Every time the drum wave recedes, there is sadness.
Mixed feelings of sadness and joy, changes between China and the West.
This was more of a stage tryout than a competition.
Whether it is music or dance, it is an attempt and a brand new experience.
To be honest, Han Zhou was only responsible for the music, Lu Jin was in charge of the dance, and the trainees choreographed based on their own understanding. Lu Jin changed some bad parts to make the dance mature, and finally Zhang Ceyong made the final decision before it was finalized.
The three mentors are not pushovers, and since it is the final, they are all extra serious.
The stage effect this time is definitely at the level of a formal concert, it is perfect.
At the final confluence, the music became more and more pleasant, and the dance turned into a group dance.
The characteristic of this group is that they are good at maintaining commonalities.
Because at the beginning none of the people in this group knew how to dance very well, they learned it together during this period of time. The uniformity of the group dance far exceeded Han Zhou's expectations, so it was naturally not difficult to impress the audience.
“So handsome!”
"Has Zhang Die become so good at dancing?"
"When Lin Jianqiu dances, the sense of power is so strong!"
"I didn't expect Xu Ping to learn how to dance in these 150 days. Xu Ping before had totally uncoordinated limbs."
After cutting off those useless things, these people spent more time practicing basic skills, and with the assistance of the best team and equipment, the results were obvious.
When the performance ended, the audience screamed wildly.
The camera also turned to Wang Chuyang and others.
Wang Chuyang was clapping.
Wang Mo was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect this group of people to be so strong.
Lu Jin stood up and applauded: "Good!"
Zhang Die took a deep breath and said, "Thank you to all the team members. If it weren't for everyone's desperate practice at the last minute, we wouldn't be able to complete this stage effect. From the beginning, we discussed with the instructors about the choreography of this song and whether it should be combined with street dance and modern dance."
“It’s too difficult.”
"It was also because of our group's choreographer, Fan Lian. After we got the song, Fan Lian worked on it for two consecutive days until two o'clock in the morning, and finally came up with the dance structure."
"And Xu Ping. Xu Ping was actually injured before the game and is dancing with a bandage on his body now."
The process of this competition is actually also a process of Zhang Die's improvement.
From the beginning, he didn't know how to be a captain, he just worked hard to improve himself. With the sacrifices of Liu Yanzhou and Wei Chengan, he finally ushered in the best Zhang Die.
Zhang Die thanked all the team members one by one, and then thanked the four major mentors and other mentors of the program team.
Finally, I even thanked Wang Mo and Wang Chuyang for their help in choreography.
This is a competition. Being able to thank his opponent directly shows Zhang Die's growth.
An Lan: "Wang Chuyang, it's your turn next. Do you have anything to say to Zhang Diezu?"
Wang Chuyang: "No need to thank me, I just want to have a fair fight."
"Although you have the advantage of song selection, every song by Brother Han is a classic. You don't have any advantage at all, so Wang Mo and I helped you sort out some moves."
"In this way, we will be competing in absolute strength."
"My team members are very strong, so strong that even I am afraid!"
Zhang Ceyong applauded: "Being young is good. Being able to help your opponent is a strength. Being able to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the game system for both sides and having the courage to admit it is also a strength."
"Competitions are competitions, and life is life. I hope that the younger generation in the entertainment industry can be more youthful and regret-free than us, the older generation."
"Begin your performance!"
In Wang Chuyang's group, everyone stood still very seriously.
The screen also gives the song information.
The General's Order
Music: Han Zhou
Drum, Zhang Ceyong, gong, Han Zhou, suona, Wang Jianing...
Dance: The final night of "Summer of Idols" Wang Chuyang's group, Wang Chuyang, Wang Mo, Qi Xiaoqi, Macas...
The song "General's Order" is originally the opening song of opera, belonging to the opening of "Shu Yangqin". It was later sorted out and used very frequently in a large number of Hong Kong films. It has also been adapted into songs and enjoys a very high status in the Chinese music circle. All of this, of course, is because it is awesome!
After all the trainees stood in place , the first thing that sounded was... the bass drum again!
The big drum of "I Am the Only One in the World" gives people a heroic and awesome feeling as soon as they hear it.
And "The General's Order" gives people a feeling that makes their blood boil and makes them want to carry a cow and plow the two miles of field!
Because the ancient song "General's Order" is played with big drums and gongs, and has a heroic and passionate style.
But surprisingly, after the rapid suona brought the passion and grandeur of the piece to its highest point, it seemed unsuitable for fast dancing.
This rhythm is not suitable for dancing.
But! Wang Chuyang and the others didn't dance at all.
Wang Chuyang and others were on the stage, opening the show with boxing!
The audience was simply stunned.
This song is especially suitable for boxing!
Every move seems to make one's blood boil, and with the help of music, these boxing techniques seem very powerful!
In fact, Wang Chuyang learned these boxing techniques from Yuan Xiaomei.
After this report, Wang Chuyang went to find Yuan Xiaomei to verify once again whether his boxing skills were correct. After all, he had to perform and be responsible to the audience.
After the media began reporting that he and Yuan Xiaomei were in love, he did not explain the reason.
It's interesting in itself, so what if I just accept it?
A set of boxing was halfway through on the stage, and then, to the sound of separate drum beats, several people began to dance vigorously.
The music that this group of people got was not suitable for dancing, but the simple drum beat in the middle was very suitable for fast-paced dancing.
So after Wang Mo and Wang Chuyang talked it over, they decided to include the suona part and boxing.
Pure drum part, dance!
In this way, the combination of dance and martial arts also conforms to the characteristics of Qu Zihua's Chinese style.
It also showcases the flexibility and strength of the bodies that make this group of seven people suitable for dancing.
But this means that it would be impossible to arrange a separate dance show.
However, after some discussion, everyone agreed to this plan.
Because there is another song that combines singing and dancing, which can show the dance alone.
In fact, "The General's Order" was also written into a song in the previous life, which is "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".
However, this song is not suitable for singing and dancing on a show, as that would be too uncomfortable.
If only "General's Order" was used, there would be room for choreography, so Han Zhou used the pure music of this ancient song.
Therefore, Wang Chuyang's group, where every member is a strong dancer, actually performed a pure group dance. The dance was uniform, the movements were exactly the same, and there was no personalized part.
This also exceeded the audience's expectations.
Because the audience felt that this group of dancers were all very strong and should have shown off their skills, but in the end they just performed the same group dance.
Finally, the music ends with a clean and crisp sound, and the dance moves are transformed into boxing, and finally it ends with the movements of standing meditation, which is also clean and crisp!
“Awesome!”
“My blood is boiling!”
"Can you still do this? Are you sure they are an idol group and not professional dancers?"
"I feel like this show can...be performed on the Spring Festival Gala."
"Just be direct. It's better than last year's Spring Festival Gala dance..."
After the dance, Zhang Ceyong applauded: "What I like most about this group is this choice."
"On the night of the finals, no one tried to steal the spotlight, and no one asked to show off their dance moves. Instead, they all served the song and the group. You already had a sense of teamwork."
Lu Jin nodded: "Yes, I think so too. From the beginning, you were just individual trainees or a small idol group, and now you are forming a nine-member group. You have done a great job in this regard."
In fact, the performance of "The General's Order" is four minutes long, while "I Am the Only One in the World" is only two and a half minutes.
But excluding the martial arts part, the dance part is about two and a half minutes.
So they are of the same level of length, and "The General's Order" has a faster and more intense pace, but the audience didn't notice the difference in length.
But Han Zhou still keenly felt that some people might be tired.
Han Zhou: "Let's go into the advertisement."
Barrage: “????”
"grass!"
Han Zhou's fans are very clear: "It's finally the finals. If we don't air his five or ten-minute commercial, how can we make back the money? The Workers' Stadium finals night cost a full 80 million!"
"Did it cost so much money? No wonder the stage effect is so good!"
"Awesome, awesome! Let me see what the ad is. If I can buy it, I'll buy some. Stop loss."
What else could it be? Of course it’s an advertisement shot by Han Zhou himself.
Mengshan milk.
There is also a shampoo advertisement that An Lan is currently endorsing, which also sponsored the program, and the shampoo advertisement shot by An Lan was also broadcast.
There is also Zhang Ceyong's milk tea advertisement and Lu Jin's "looking for a job" advertisement.
Then there was Han Zhou's mineral water ad, An Lan's mobile phone ad...
It really only ran for five minutes.
This is a live broadcast on the Internet, not a live broadcast on TV. Aren’t you afraid that people will run away?
Actually, I'm not really afraid.
Han Zhou knew that in the future, advertisements broadcast on the Internet would become more and more expensive, while advertisements on TV would become cheaper and cheaper.
I'm afraid it will fall badly in the future.
By then, some TV stations in some cities will be able to rotate their advertisements many times over three days, and they can be bought for just 100,000 yuan.
Advertising on online shows will become increasingly expensive.
The world is changing, and streaming media and video platforms will gradually eat up the revenue of TV station representatives.
After the advertisement, Han Zhou announced the real-time vote count.
In this performance, the choreographer named Fan Lian showed off his skills and soared directly from 13th place to 9th place.
If Zhang Diezu wins in the end, he might be able to form a group directly.
Even if we lose, if we perform well in the second song, we might be able to make a comeback.
This Fanlian is a small company.
But Han Zhou knew that during the competition, his contract had been transferred to Universal China.
Otherwise, without sufficient resources, he would not have made it to the finals.
It seems that in An Shengnan's mind, idol training is becoming more and more important, and Universal China is showing a tendency to transform.
After the vote count was announced, the camera turned to the media representatives who arrived at the scene.
These people had all received small amounts of money from Han Zhou, so of course they were praising him nonsensically and their firepower was very strong.
Then there are the on-site music critics.
Wang Jianing: "It was a great performance. To be honest, I knew Han Zhou's music was good, but I didn't expect how the contestants would dance to these two songs. To be honest, everyone has their own specialty and it was very successful."
"Also, it seems that Han Zhou is a bad namer. He always names his songs similarly. He is just being lazy. The next two songs are also very strong, and they still have the same names."
“Everyone can look forward to it.”
While the live chat was going on, the stage was also being set up frantically.
Zhang Ceyong: "Han Zhou, what are the names of the next two songs?"
Han Zhou: "General's Order."
Lu Jin was stunned: "Huh? The music for the dance just now was called "General's Order", right? Why is it called this name?"
Han Zhou smiled: "It saves trouble."
There is no way . Every time I want to choose a song, songs with the same or similar titles are always extracted from my memory and can be used right away.
An Lan: "What about the other one? It can't be called General's Wife, right?"
Han Zhou: "The other one is called "General" but without the word "Ling"."
The comments were all discussing: "As expected, it's too much Han Zhou style."
"It's not that it's too strong, it's that the flavor is too strong. Only Han Zhou likes to come up with song titles like this every time."
"It's been so long, haven't you adapted to Han Zhou yet? I just saw the first two dances and I know that the next two songs will be called either "Ren Wo Xing" or "Jiang Jun Ling"."
"It looks like the stage is set. Are we going to start the concert?!"
Soon, Zhang Diezu took the stage.
The screen gives the song information.
The General's Order
Lyrics and composition: Han Zhou
Singer: Zhang Die, Lin Jianqiu, Fan Lian, Xu Ping, etc., from the final night of "Summer of Idols".
During the performance, Han Zhou turned off the microphone and asked, "Did your father also transfer a contract from the small company to Mai Lang?"
Now that nine people have been selected, the situation has actually become clear, and Fan Lian should be going in.
So, who will get the last spot, Wang Xiya or Liu Jianxi?
In fact, Wang Xiya didn't need to take any action at all, because Wang Mo was Tianle's man, and Wang Chuyang would return to Tianle one day, so Tianle didn't need to spend more money to hire another person.
There are enough resources to promote two idols, but it is difficult to promote three.
As we were chatting, the prelude started.
The prelude of the song "General's Order" is very strange.
It's like when you're singing on a K-Pop app, you realize you can't sing the tune, so you click on a lower key.
This design quickly attracted the audience's attention and stopped them from being distracted.
“I know what’s wrong
I know what the general said may not be true
I know what is right and what is wrong. I can tell the difference myself.
Please be quiet, please be quiet..."
Rap? Or a rap-style dance music? The lyrics are a bit weird, let's listen to it again.
“I know what’s wrong
I know the moon in foreign countries is not rounder
I know yo yo yo
It’s not my language.”
Now the audience understood that Han Zhou not only wanted a Chinese style, but also wanted to criticize fawning on foreigners in the lyrics.
In fact, this is the definition that Han Zhou gave to the idol circle after a long time of choice.
To become a new idol, you must understand the Chinese style, because the first ones to release it have occupied the market and established market habits. If the later ones try to use the Korean and Sakura styles, it will be useless.
Moreover, do you want to moan without reason in idol songs? Impossible, idol songs can also have attitude and be sharp, otherwise once fans compare "Summer of Idols" with the songs in your new idol program, you will look inferior.
This song "General's Order" is catchy. It may not be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for this moment.
"I know, we have a
I know, we dare to rush
I know right, proud dragon
I know what the general said may not be true..."
Zhang Ceyong, from the judges' seat: "When you write lyrics like this, aren't you afraid that someone will translate them and show them to your American fans?"
Han Zhou: "So, is there any problem?"
Zhang Ceyong: "There will always be people who criticize me."
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fans will speak up for me. Instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry about how to take the first step into the US market."
"Let's just watch the show. The members of Zhang Die's group have made great progress. It's a pity that they were eliminated."
Zhang Ceyong looked deep in his eyes: "I want to ask a few companies to take down the eliminated people, and I will also try to see how the star idols of the new era operate."
Zhang Ceyong now knows what Han Zhou is doing.
Make rules, cultivate users, occupy the rules, and occupy the market.
In the future, if you don’t follow this approach, you may not make any money.
Zhang Ceyong is only in his thirties, but Zhang Ceyong's studio is also the most profitable celebrity studio in the country, so of course he has to keep up with the times.
What's more, he has already seen how this era was driven forward.
