Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

The year-end collaboration stage of boy and girl groups is held every other year. Last year it was the girl group collaboration stage, and this year is the boy group year. In the middle of the year, a cover dance collaboration stage of three major new boy groups was launched, with the main dancers and youngest members of the three boy groups reshuffled and reorganized to perform a cover dance.

The collaboration stage at the end of the year will be bigger and more powerful, and the project plans to launch a collaboration song.

To shoot a MV for a collaboration song, it is usually shot in a green screen studio, with several people put together. They have never even met each other, and it is all spliced ​​together in post-production.

The plan was for three people to collaborate to release a song. The first person invited was Song Jueming, who readily agreed.

The second person is from a contemporary new boy group, Luna Boys, who once performed on a stage with JP1. The youngest member is Lee Jin Wook. Lee Jin Wook is actually the Ace of the team. Although he is young, he has the best strength.

The third chance was given to JP1, who chose one person from the rap group, Yoon Dong-ho, the all-around ace, Kim Seung-hyup and Ha Seong-lang.

Kim Seung Hyuk was the first to withdraw: "I won't go, absolutely not."

In fact, the opportunity should be given to Donghao. If Yin Donghao and Song Jueming can work together, it will definitely be a hot topic, but the company does not want the topic to ferment. The three companies, C, J and S, are unwilling to promote it. After Jin Chengxie gave up, the final candidate fell on Xia Xinglang.

After the list was announced, fans of all three groups were very happy. It was a pity that Song Jueming did not perform on the same stage with Yin Donghao, as they could not quarrel with each other, but Xia Xinglang and Song Jueming have a good relationship and have posted each other's signatures on social media. The fans are naturally very happy that two people with such a good relationship are working together.

[Emergency mission triggered! ]

Xia Xinglang hadn't seen the system's pop-up notifications for a long time, and the progress of the task to deepen his relationship with Cheng Xie had been stagnant, so he almost forgot about it.

[Please interact closely with 'Song Cassiae'!

Mission objective: Make Song Jueming say "I like you".

You can get attribute rewards if you succeed in the task!

If I don’t sell homosexuality, I will die. Countdown: 14 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes…]

As long as Song Jueming tells him that I like you.

Xia Xinglang had hardly made any preparation. Was there any need to challenge such a simple task?

But he forgot one crucial thing, that is, during the collaboration, he and Song Jueming could not meet at all. The parts of the three people were shot separately, and the three people were three groups with separate activity schedules. Song Jueming recently held a book signing event, he, Xia Xinglang, had a TV MC hosting job, and Lee Jin-wook's group recently started a national tour.

This time I'm dead...

It was a hellish task. During the recording of the collaboration song, he asked Song Jueming's agent several times, secretly wanting his contact information, but the agent was very cautious and refused to reveal a single word, fearing that he would come to steal some business secrets.

The MV clips recorded in advance by Song Jueming are gorgeous and handsome, and the studio shots also make him look classy. Before his debut, he seemed just ordinary and handsome, or maybe it’s because of his fame, but Song Jueming is glowing with a different glow now, very dazzling, and his face is also very photogenic. If he takes off his colored contact lenses and reveals those sapphire blue eyes, perhaps his fans will be even crazier.

The collaborative song "Make it!" is an electronic dance music with drums and bass. The rhythm is faster than other dance music. Since it is a drums and bass music, the drums are the protagonists. Almost all the background is filled with drums. The beats per minute are as high as 170 or 180, which is suitable for listening while running or dancing.

Xia Xinglang's rap part has two parts. In the recording studio, he met Li Zhenyu. Li Zhenyu greeted him and the two chatted briefly about their recent developments.

S Company has also been involved in a lot of turmoil recently because a member of its popular boy band was involved in a dating scandal, which led to fans demonstrating with trucks in front of the company, and also slightly affected other groups in the same company. C Company was previously involved in a bullying scandal that caused a sensation on the entire Internet. Everyone has been living an uneasy life recently, with big and small things happening around them.

Li Zhenyu was only 15 years old, and he called Xia Xinglang his brother: "Brother Xinglang, what do you think of me?"

Xia Xinglang gave him a thumbs up: "You are very good and excellent."

Zhenyu hasn't fully grown up yet. At 15, he still has some baby fat on his face, which makes him look very cute. "I also want to rap, but everyone in the team asks me to sing. Brother, can you teach me how to express myself better?"

"Well."

Xia Xinglang has been slow to collect the task reward for interacting with Yin Donghao. This was because he wanted to show off in front of Li Zhenyu, and also because of his self-esteem. After all, he was called brother, so he wanted to improve his attributes first.

[Your relationship with group member 'Yin Donghao' has deepened. Please select one of the following attribute bonuses as a reward:

Muse's Hymn (The Hymn leads you into the palace where you can sing, write poetry and weave): Improves talent attributes.

Mercury's Harp (Mercury plays the lyre and sings the lover's song): Improves vocal attributes.

Holy Grail of Dionysus (the Holy Grail is filled with wine made from grapes, and you will dance and revel until the end): Improves dance attributes. 】

Xia Xinglang chose the vocal attribute bonus, and his vocal ability just barely reached the A-level threshold. Now his three attributes of dance, vocal, and appearance are all above A.

“There’s no such thing as de ja vu/I wipe the lens/It’s better to go for it than to be afraid…” He’s practicing his rap part.

Xia Xinglang forgot how he practiced in the beginning. When his seven-year contract with his previous company expired, he chose to terminate the contract. He made his second debut and became popular with his body. He appeared in variety shows. Because his face was not handsome enough, he could only rely on his body to make up for it. Small and medium-sized companies came to him again, this time to form a five-member boy group. In fact, they also took a fancy to his fame and used him to lead the team. Xia Xinglang was the oldest and debuted again at the age of 25 as the captain.

The first time he debuted, he was a teenager. The second time he debuted, he was a completely mature and handsome guy. In the trailers, Xia Xinglang often lifts his clothes to show off his abs. His agent said that only abs can get clicks. He often appears in the trailers, but he is nowhere to be found in the feature films.

Fans often ask whether this is a five-member group or a four-member group, and where Xia Xinglang went.

I probably started practicing rap at this time, because everyone else was positioned as the lead singer or the main dancer. Now, all pop songs have to have a rap part, and the rap part is the smallest. No one wanted to take the smallest part, so only Xia Xinglang took it. Others often mocked him, and maybe his teammates also mocked him behind his back, saying that all you need to have is a mouth to rap, and if you can't sing, just rap.

Xia Xinglang was looked down upon once again, and he hated being looked down upon the most.

But he was already locked in by signing the contract and was too lazy to complain. Even if it was the smallest part, he would do his best.

Later, he became a little famous for his live-streaming on stage and almost broke one million viewers. The company then deleted the video to prevent it from going viral. Later, Xia Xinglang wanted to participate in a rap variety show, but was not allowed, saying it was not conducive to the development of the group.

"..."

"Brother Xinglang?" Li Zhenyu saw that he was distracted and reminded him, "What's wrong?"

Xia Xinglang came back to his senses: "I was thinking about how I practiced. Actually, my strength is not that good. The strongest in the team is Chengxie. But I also have my own way, which is practice."

The most taboo thing in rap is forgetting the lyrics, and the pronunciation must be fast and accurate. If you forget the lyrics, it will look funny, so you have to practice often.

"How to practice?"

"Record it and listen to it repeatedly," Xia Xinglang said, "because it's clearer when you record your own voice."

The two talked for a while, Li Zhenyu was next to him, Xia Xinglang couldn't help pinching his face: "Your voice hasn't changed yet, in fact, singing is more suitable for you."

Lee Jin-wook became disappointed when he mentioned this: "The voice change period hasn't come yet."

Xia Xinglang comforted him: "Your teenage blooming period is very short, you must make full use of the current advantages. In fact, fans don't want you to grow up. I hope you stay like this, don't grow up, don't change your voice."

Li Zhenyu didn't quite understand.

Xia Xinglang further explained: "Use your advantages. You sing very well, so try to make the most of it."

Li Zhenyu: "Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

Xia Xinglang nodded. The producer waved to him in the recording studio. He wanted to record the song again. He turned around and made a heart shape to Li Zhenyu: "I like you!"

"I like Brother Xinglang too!"

Xia Xinglang then realized that Li Zhenyu was not the target of the mission. How could he contact Song Jueming?

How about going to the book signing event?
