Chapter 500: Forced
This is a very embarrassing question. If Eun-ji were to start singing directly, there would be no problem of course, and the audience probably wouldn't have any problem either, at most they would just be surprised. But these staff members probably really had to turn off the equipment. Zheng Chenggong was not afraid of being embarrassed or anything, but he was mainly worried that this great opportunity would be missed. Judging from Zheng Eun-ji's current mood, maybe she could really gain something. Even if she didn't become a little star in Busan, it would be enough if she could make a breakthrough in her own abilities.
"To sing or not to sing, that is the question!"
"That girl sings very well!" Below the stage, Kim Tae-won was surprised and finally found the lead singer Jung Eun-ji. He remembered that when he introduced her just now, she was only sixteen years old. At the age of sixteen, she had such singing skills and could convey such special emotions. No matter whether it was due to coincidence or there was some story, it was very amazing.
"It's just that the accompaniment is a little unfamiliar, and it seems that it has just been formed. But that little girl is so amazing, she doesn't seem unfamiliar at all, and both the rhythm and the notes are very full. How old is she?" Drummer Cai Jimin also made a comment. It seemed that Zheng Xiaoxiao, the little keyboard player, had a great impact on him.
Listening to these big names in the rock circle talking, Quan Zhenshi felt relieved. Although it was a bit sudden, at least this temporary stage did not disappoint, so his pressure was much less.
"Just consider it as paying for a lesson!"
Just as Quan Zhenshi was thinking this, the performance on the stage ended. Although the audience below was not very enthusiastic, they applauded enthusiastically. I don’t know if this should be called a surprise stage or something else. Anyway, the song was really good. At this moment, some people realized that the female voice just now was particularly pleasant to the ears.
"We still have one more song to sing, so please don't leave, okay? Also, brothers and sisters in the back, don't turn off your devices, okay?"
At this time, Zheng Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted into the microphone in front of her. Her childish voice sounded full of childishness.
The audience didn't seem to notice anything. Many people craned their heads to see what the nine-year-old girl looked like, as she appeared to have silver hair on the big screen. Many people were complaining about the lack of a closer shot and the shabby stage, which affected the viewing experience.
Quan Zhenshi in the backstage's face suddenly froze. This situation was equivalent to being forced upon.
The soft sound of guitars began to play on the stage. In just thirty seconds, Jung Chenggong had already strapped on Jung Eun-ji's guitar and Park Cho-rong's bass and sat down at the keyboard. The little girl, on the other hand, sat down at the drums, her face brimming with excitement. While playing the keyboard was also fun, she still found drumming more enjoyable.
As the soft guitar sound rang out, Quan Zhenshi almost cursed out loud. This was clearly bullying. They agreed to sing only one song, but now they were singing a second one. The most important thing was that the child shouted first. This was simply despicable. At least in Quan Zhenshi's opinion, if it was Zheng Chenggong who shouted, he would definitely have asked someone to turn off the equipment.
In fact, to be honest, there is no problem above the stage or in front of the stage. Even if the equipment is really cut off, no one will know the expressions of the band on the stage.
Instead, it was the chief director Quan Zhenshi who was being watched by everyone...
"Director Quan, what should we do?" the assistant director asked in a low voice, but he felt a little gloating in his heart. He could see that the band that was going on stage this time was not the one that Quan Zhenshi was willing to send .
Quan Zhenshi was extremely conflicted. Many people were looking at him at the moment. Although most of the audience had left, there were still several thousand people. It would be a trap whether he stopped or not.
"Let them sing. It's been a long time since I saw such a fresh band. The old man also wants to see it again!" Shin Joong-hyun said with a smile, and then continued to look at the big screen without paying attention to Kwon Jin-seok's even more miserable expression.
Krystal and others on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. If the director ordered the power to be cut off, it would be too embarrassing. The most important thing is that everyone thought the performance was good, and with the little silver-haired girl there, everyone was naturally very fond of her, not to mention Krystal who almost knew everything, and Choi Sulli who already knew everything.
Plus Shin Joong-hyun's support at the end...
No matter how you think about it, you always have to make a choice.
If you just think about it without making a decision, you are wasting your time.
There is no doubt that Zheng Chenggong was conflicted, but after the first song ended, he immediately asked the little girls to gather and put down their instruments. Zheng Xiaoxiao also hurriedly said what her father had told her to do.
Immediately afterwards, without any rest time, Zheng Chenggong began to play.
Although he felt a little flustered, Zheng Chenggong also found it quite exciting. At least this feeling was much more interesting than ordinary performances.
After handing over the bass, Park Cho-rong walked to the side of the stage and sat down in a place where there was no light. She knew about the second stage. Originally, Zheng Chenggong wanted her to continue to accompany, but just one song was too much for her, so she gave up the idea.
"Eunji, come on!"
Park Cho-rong whispered, then sat there. For her, today's experience was particularly special. She should have arrived in Seoul early to attend school and join JYP as a trainee, but because of the uncle's words that day, Park Cho-rong chose to endure. In fact, she knew that she was attending the music festival mainly for Jung Eun-ji.
Maybe it didn't benefit her much, but Park Cho-rong felt strongly from the beginning that she should participate with them, so she shamelessly asked the uncle to take her with him, even though she might not be able to gain more attention like Eun-ji after the event.
But Park Cho-rong at least learned more practical and realistic things, just like now she has felt her own shortcomings, and they are very insufficient. If she could have half of Jung Eun-ji's ability, she would not have just sung a few harmonies today.
Similarly, today Park Cho-rong was actually the same as Jung Eun-ji. She just stood there and watched the whole show. Although she didn't study as obsessively as Jung Eun-ji, she saw things more clearly and knew what path she should take.
Singer or star...you always have to make a choice. At least the goals in the next three to five years should be clearer.
"Phew, I'm so envious!"
Looking at Jung Eun-ji, Park Cho-rong's innocent face sighed with a little envy...
Unlike Park Cho-rong, Jung Eun-ji has been in the best mood for the stage since she arrived at the scene.
When the guitar sounded, there were no extra distracting thoughts in Zheng Endi's mind, only complaints and longing for her father.
In fact, there is no special reason why Zheng Chenggong chose this song for Zheng Eun-ji. It's just that this song is the best test for her now, and it is also a very suitable song for the music festival. Of course, it would be better if she could get into the singing state through emotion, so he asked Eun-ji's mother for help. It can be said that Zheng Chenggong really did a lot for this girl.
Maybe it’s the same reason why teachers favor students with good grades and ignore students with poor grades.
In fact, Jung Eun-ji herself couldn't explain why she thought that way. Maybe she had truly matured. After being angry this afternoon, she suddenly heard this song, and Jung Eun-ji suddenly understood that her father was doing something that he might not want to do, her mother was also doing something that she might not want to do, and she was about to do something that she didn't really want to do.
Maybe this is what is called reality. No one wants to leave, and no one likes separation, but sometimes it is like birth, old age, sickness and death. There are always some things that cannot be avoided. Although it sounds a bit harsh, this is the reality.
So Jung Eun-ji understood a lot about her father, but she still had some complaints and missed him even more.
"When you leave me
I was speechless
Watching your back
From the moment you got tired of me and left
I will chew the pain
I will never shed a single tear until I die..."
"Isn't this Maya's song? Can that girl master it?" Kim Tae-won was a little surprised when he heard the music. After Jung Eun-ji sang the first part softly with her deep voice, he became a little worried.
"Haha, isn't this great? This girl has a nice voice and great resonance!"
Shin Joong-hyun said cheerfully, still looking like he was enjoying it.
"Yeah, and she's very emotional and catches the ear easily!" Yoon Do Hyun on the side echoed. This time, everyone's attention was really drawn to Jung Eun-ji.
Lee Ji-eun and Choi Joon-hee in the back almost popped out their eyes because the girl singing on the stage was the same age as them.
"Azalea Flower" is a famous Korean poem, known to most Koreans and often recited by teachers during Korean language learning. The poem addresses the feelings of Korean women during the feudal marriage system, expressing the author, Kim So-wol (1902-1934),'s sympathy for their unfortunate fate.
Later, this word was adapted into a song by the Korean singer Maya. The song is a hoarse yet poignant song that expresses the memory of the deceased. It is also a famous song in the Korean music circle and is widely sung.
But at the same time, it is very difficult to truly sing out that kind of emotion and technique, so people like Kim Tae-won below the stage were a little worried.
However, the audience in the front were all in the mood, because Jung Eun-ji was singing so well at the moment, so well that it seemed as if they were completely immersed in it.
On the stage, Zheng Chenggong was extremely surprised. This was a completely unexpected situation. He couldn't understand what was going on with Zheng Endi. Was she cheating? Or did something really happen to her father?
Although it was not known whether she could sing the chorus with strong emotions, at least for now, Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised.
