Fanservice Paradox

That night, those four lines of lyrics lingered in my heart repeatedly, and I fell asleep with Fang Juexia.

He dreamed that he was a tree squeezed between the rocks of the cliff. The growing process was very painful, the stones were grinding, and the cracks were painful.But he soaked in the clouds and mist for half a lifetime, until his body was paralyzed and unconscious.

In a trance, a glaring lightning struck his branch, so he was on the verge of falling, just wanting to fall with it.

But what goes down?It is an abyss.How could the escaping lightning be trapped at the bottom of the valley with the broken branches and dead leaves.Maybe he can still hold the phantom left by the silvery white and continue to dream of clouds and mist in the swamp, burning himself for a moment of dry wood and burning himself, turning into ashes to spend the rest of his life.

For some reason, Fang Juexia suddenly opened his eyes, and he stared at the boundless darkness and took a deep breath.After waking up, I sat on the bed for another half an hour in a daze.His mind began to become clear, and every detail of the dream was reappearing, and the burning feeling of extinction could not completely subside now.

Fang Juexia knew that this dream was a metaphor in his heart.He was afraid that this bolt of lightning was just playing around in the world, creating a catastrophe.The tree on the cliff has no legs and nowhere to hide.

In the early morning, Caledo was still recording shows as before. In addition to Yunshi's MLH, there were two other variety shows on other platforms.

It is also very realistic to say, since they were out of the circle because of live, they were given a lot of preferential treatment when they participated in the recording. Another platform directly changed kaleido to a bigger lounge, and also specially recorded a collection of playing songs for them in the video Website, attract fans to watch.

The six members of Caledon were as humble as ever, bowing to every staff member.

After pen-hold shooting went out of the circle, a well-known up host of a certain video site specially made a reaction to watching "Broken Array" hit the first stage of the song, and the title was [Let the song or discard it?Idol just has no strength?Let's watch the fairy live of face-slapping the whole network! ]

This video soon appeared on the homepage of the website due to its high playback and favorites. Caledo's wonderful performance and the up master's witty and magical reaction are very eye-catching, ranking first in the airborne division.The popularity of this video also caused a wave of Caledo live stage reaction on the website. Many up masters followed suit. Many people discovered the true strength of this boy group.

Not only that, "Broken Array" also quietly became popular in the music area, becoming a popular cover song by many cover singers.Among these derivative works that have achieved a win-win situation in popularity, "Broken Array", which almost died due to leaks at the beginning, is loved by more and more people. This song is indispensable in the popular searches of major music software, and its sound source performance has improved by leaps and bounds. Qiyao's new song has been far behind, and it has reached the first place.

There are ups and downs on the Internet, but Fang Juexia is still the same Fang Juexia, stable and quiet.Only when they are on the stage, will they come out of the hard shell and release powerful energy.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning after getting off work from the show, and the fan meeting was arranged at two o'clock in the afternoon, in a small venue that could accommodate 1000 people.Caledo took the time to change his look and rushed from the recording location to the venue of the new album meeting.

Ling Yi and Lu Yuan were chatting in the car, Fang Juexia looked at the always amusing Lu Yuan, looked at the countless fans under the recording building, and said this sentence.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be popular."

He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.Not for himself, but for the team.Each of them is not a so-called orthodox idol. Some of them missed the championship due to shady scenes on the talent show, and they should have become seeded singers. There are dancers who lost everything after winning the championship title. The elder brother who raised his younger sister in another way, the creator who went to street bars and nightclubs but still loves music, and the rebellious thorn bird who broke free from one cage but was thrown into another cage.

Fate brought them together, allowing him, who was born with the label of failure, to have such a group of companions, supporting each other to grow together.

Ling Yi leaned his head out of the window, "I'm also a little unreal, a little confused. Maybe I'm used to the previous state. No one has ever seen so many people supporting me suddenly. It's a bit awkward."

Fang Juexia seldom opened his mouth, and smiled at them, "Popularity is a parabola. It rises and then declines. Whether it is popular or not is always just a process. But the works and the stage are eternal, right?"

Ling Yi nodded heavily, his eye circles were a little red, and he wiped his eyes and pursed his mouth and said, "Jue Xia, you look like an adult."

"Hahahaha, is he always good?"

"Only Xiao Pei is not an adult."

"Hey, why do you always take me? I'm twenty!"

In order to give back to the fans in the audience and before the live broadcast, the performance appeared in costumes of all members, and the color system was very uniform red. Before the official performance of "Broken Array", there was a dance intro that lasted one and a half minutes. Everyone's eyes are covered with long strips of red gauze two fingers wide, which are tied behind the head and flutter with the movement.This introduction is a piece of music produced by He Ziyan, Guofeng Dianyin.The dance is choreographed by Lu Yuan, which combines the characteristics of Chinese dance and street dance, which is sassy and cool.

At the end of the opening, everyone stepped off the stage and changed their costumes.Other non-main songs from their new album were playing on the stage. When they played again, everyone's appearance had been changed to the support color of the card group, Klein blue.Pei Tingsong has white hair with a blue sports headband, and wears a blue sweater and white half pants, which is refreshing and sporty.Fang Juexia's hair was tied into a low ponytail, with a strand of hair that reached the jawline. She wore a blue sweater with white trousers, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.

The enthusiasm of the fans is even higher than before. They have been calling Caledo in unison since they have not returned to the stage, and this is even more so when they are on the stage. The host can't even interrupt them.

It was Jiang Miao who spoke first, "Why don't we say a few words?"

The fans in the audience were immediately amused, and the atmosphere changed from enthusiastic calls to relaxation.

The host took advantage of the momentum to get to the point, "First of all, I would like to congratulate our Kaleido on their official comeback with the new album "Broken Array". It's the first album released after a year, what do you think?"

The official spokesperson Jiang Miao took the question, "Of course, I am very excited. In fact, the album planning process is quite difficult. This time, each of our members participated in the production of the album, especially the title song. This In fact, it is a very risky thing. Our role has changed from a performer who interprets a song to an expresser who creates a song. This transition has brought great pressure to us and the companies that support us."

Fang Juexia listened carefully to the captain's words, and suddenly thought of the first meeting after the airport video went out of the circle. It was at that time that he and Pei Tingsong proposed to let them participate in the creation.Now that I think about it, I am really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. I don’t know where the confidence and determination come from, and I don’t think about the consequences of failure. I just want to try and do it myself.

"There are really very few idol groups that can create their own. It may be because of this that the song "Broken Array" has received such a big response." Is there anything more interesting that happened in the movie, can you share it with your fans?"

"Interesting thing..." Jiang Miao glanced at Ling Yi, and the tacit understanding made Ling Yi quickly pick up the microphone, "Ah, I thought of one, the opening scene of "Broken Array" I sang the Peking Opera "Mu Guiying in Command" In fact, this idea was brought up by the captain during the meeting years ago, but I have never sung before."

The fans below laughed, and Ling Yi said, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I am particularly suitable for singing?" After joking, he added, "At that time, I went to learn from a famous Peking Opera teacher for a while, of course The company is reimbursed. You have to sing every day when you sing an opera, and I sing every day in the dormitory."

As his teammate, Fang Juexia picked up the microphone at this time, "Let me tell you, that day Ling Yi was opening his voice, and after singing a few words, there was an uncle's voice from the other side of the balcony, quite far away, We were also singing opera. We were stunned at the time, but after searching the libretto of the uncle, we found out that he sang "The General of the Yang Family."

The host laughed, "So you are singing from a distance, right?"

Lu Yuan complained: "Mu Guiying fought against the generals of the Yang family."

Ling Yi added, "However, I hope that everyone will not mention me under the works of some Peking opera performing artists. I am just putting on airs, and I can't be regarded as an opera singer at all. Mentioning my name will only show cowardice. Don't make me too ashamed."

Jiang Miao nodded, "Yes, you must respect other people's works, only in this way can you win respect."

He Ziyan also said, "Speaking of creation, we have actually been stuck on the arrangement of the title song for a long time. We have made about three or four versions of the arrangement. The arrangement teacher and I were numb. Later, Juexia changed the arrangement. , and also wrote the melody of the first and last verse." He said to the fans in the audience, "The point is, we didn't know that Juexia could write songs before."

"Wow!"

"Brother Jue Xia is awesome!"

Fang Juexia was always afraid of people's praise, so he was already a little embarrassed, but Lu Yuan deliberately added, "We only know because Xiao Pei said that Juexia is good at writing melodies."

There was another booing from the audience.Pei Tingsong could only explain, "I discovered it by accident."

accidental?Fang Juexia glanced at him, knowing that he had written a song before opening the USB flash drive, how dare he say it was accidental.

"But Brother Jue Xia is really amazing." Pei Tingsong glanced at him, "He broke my previous perception of talented people."

This evaluation is too high, so high that Fang Juexia's cheeks felt hot, and he forgot to raise the microphone, but turned to him and said, "You are more talented."

Ling Yi interrupted at this time and joked, "It's started, the business bragging session."

Everyone laughed again.After asking a few questions, the host announced the sales of their new album so far. In just two and a half days, the sales of digital albums have exceeded 40. Compared with the total sales of their debut album of [-] and mini [-] dedicated, this is already a straight-up progress.

"The great thing is, let's take a look at the trend of music sources and sales." The host took the fans in the audience to look at the line chart on the big screen. It’s scary, and it’s been going on. The turning point was when our card group’s first live show was broadcast.”

The host asked, "Your scene attracted a lot of passers-by. The song "Broken Array" is now a new popular BGM on short video sites, and it has also received a lot of praise. Everyone generally thinks that you have surpassed the level of idols. It’s a bit wasteful to call them idol singers. So how do you think about these voices?”

A few members talked a lot, and generally thanked netizens for their praise, and will show a better side to everyone, and did not discuss such topics in depth.

Fang Juexia has always been a member who doesn't speak much, unless he is caught by a cue, he hardly speaks on his own initiative.This time he couldn't help answering.

"Of course this is an encouragement to us. But what I want to say is that the word idol was very positive at the beginning, but because of some practical reasons, it has been tainted with a lot of negative colors. It is of course good to be affirmed, but We are indeed idols, and it is very accurate to describe it in terms of the form of performance. I saw that I don’t want to use words like idols or idols to describe us. My personal response is, please recognize Kaleido as an idol. "

His eyes are very sincere, "Actually, the profession of idol is not a shame, its existence must have its preciousness. I really enjoy the moment of expressing myself as an idol on stage. Rather than excluding it, we dream more When people see the word idol, they can think of us."

The applause from the audience became more and more enthusiastic, not just because of Fang Juexia's love.These girls also suffer from prejudice, just because their idol is an idol, so they are also classified as the bottom of the Internet class.Even if there are many excellent people in their group, it is useless, and the prejudice will last forever.

Hearing what Fang Juexia said, Pei Tingsong felt ashamed.He is proud, but not arrogant, and brave enough to admit his initial mistakes openly.

When he first came to this company, he engaged in this profession with a passive resistance attitude. Like many people who wear colored glasses, he has a prejudice against idols, thinking that idols are not as good as singers, not as good as hip-hop singers.

He thought these people were just singing the uninspiring songs given by others and dancing like beautiful marionettes.He disdained to put his dream in such an empty and superficial form.

But it turns out that he was wrong. Fang Juexia in front of him is the most vivid counterattack against prejudice.

From his body, Pei Tingsong gradually discovered the true form of the idol, the almost perfect external form wrapped in a tough and tenacious core.

He is not chasing dreams, there is no smooth path, no bright vision, all he has from beginning to end is the label of "wrong", blow and slander, darkness and loneliness, even so, he still approaches that step by step The stage, touch it, crawl it, run it.

Everyone is exploring various spirits, hip-hop spirit, rock spirit...but no one thinks that perhaps idols also have spirits.

Fang Juexia is the projection of the idol spirit.

The author has something to say:

Fang Juexia is a very idealized idol in my mind. He speaks based on his own strength and circumstances, which is far from the reality. I hope everyone will not mention the three-dimensional, and do not diverge.Everything is based on the entertainment circle in the book and the Kaleido group.
