Chapter 204 This is called professional ethics! Don't you understand?!
Backstage, control room.
This used to be the busiest and noisiest place in the entire studio.
The director's roars, the production assistants' reports, and the hum of the equipment mingled together.
But at the moment.
An eerie, warm tranquility pervaded the control room.
The chief director, Wang Dazhong, had already thrown the walkie-talkie he used to swear at onto the table.
He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and looked at the smiling girl on the monitor. His eyes were unfocused, and a nostalgic smile played on his lips.
A sweet voice came from inside.
Don't ask me how high the sun is~
"I'll tell you how genuine I am~"
Don't ask me how many stars there are~
"I will tell you a lot~ a lot~"
Behind him.
Several veteran staff members in charge of lighting, sound, and camera work stopped what they were doing and their faces showed expressions of "reminiscing about the past".
The youngest of these people is thirty, while most are in their forties or fifties.
They are people who truly experienced that golden age.
"well......."
Wang Dazhong sighed deeply, his voice filled with endless emotion:
"This is what a song should be like..."
"What kind of garbage are these days' popular celebrities singing? Only songs like this can truly touch our hearts."
The lighting supervisor next to him, Lao Liu, is a bald man in his fifties who is usually the most irritable.
At this moment, however, his eyes were slightly red, and he rubbed the control lever in his hand, sighing:
"Director, you know what?"
"Listening to this girl sing makes me feel like I've suddenly become twenty years younger."
"Back in the day, my bedside was covered with posters of female idols, and my Walkman was full of cassette tapes of sweet songs."
"That feeling... tsk, it was wonderful."
Sound engineer Lao Zhang also took off his headphones and rubbed his nose:
"My wife still asks me all sorts of nonsensical questions from time to time, but I know it's her way of reassuring me about her love."
"This song is incredibly valuable."
"Kids these days probably just think it sounds nice and sweet."
"But only we old folks know how difficult it is to sing something that sounds so 'sweet but not cloying, sorrowful but not tragic'!"
"This isn't just skill, it's talent! It's a gift from God!"
Wang Dazhong nodded and pointed to Jiang Bai on the screen:
"yes."
"Look at her eyes, look at her actions."
"That gentle gesture pointing to the stars, that shy and bashful smile."
"Not at all pretentious!"
"She's like someone who traveled from that innocent era!"
I bet you can!
Wang Dazhong suddenly sat up straight, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:
"Once this song is broadcast..."
"I don't know about young people, but their parents' generation would probably go crazy!"
"This is—a national-level killer weapon!"
"The ratings for this episode of 'The Voice of China' are guaranteed! They might even break records!!"
The entire directing team, these seasoned veterans who have been through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and are used to all kinds of packaging and personas.
At this moment.
I was completely captivated by Jiang Bai's retro hit song!
They were immersed in the songs and in the memories.
It's as if that era of flowing white robes, pure and beautiful times, has returned.
.......
on the stage.
The song is reaching its climax at the end.
The melody became more upbeat.
Don't ask me how many stars there are~
"I'll tell you a lot~"
Don't ask me how high the sun is~
"I'll tell you how genuine I am~"
Every word is like it's coated in honey.
Every glance he gave was like an electric shock.
The entire studio was no longer filled with the smell of gunpowder from the competition.
Instead, the screen is filled with pink bubbles, and a saccharine, almost cloying, feeling of sweetness that makes you want to fall in love!
Don't ask me how many stars there are~
"I'll tell you a lot~"
"Lots~"
The song ended, but the lingering melody still resonated.
Jiang Bai stood in the center of the stage, her face still bearing that sweet and impeccable smile.
Looking at the audience's mesmerized expressions, he smugly boasted to the system in his mind:
"System, did you see that?"
"That's professionalism! That's respect for the audience!"
"Only by meticulously designing even the way my hair is styled, and giving my all during the performance, can I earn such enthusiastic love from the audience!"
"This has nothing to do with cross-dressing, it's called professional ethics! Do you understand?!"
The system's voice was completely calm, even carrying a hint of all-knowing rationality:
[It is hoped that the host will maintain this awareness of 'respecting the audience' in all future situations, and not be hypocritical.]
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Bai gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject:
"Um... that's about enough, it's time for the judges' comments."
At this moment, the other three trainees in the same group were also invited back to the stage.
Originally, they were the "cannon fodder" that Na-young had tacitly agreed to be, the green leaves used to set off Jiang Bai, the red flower.
However, when they started singing their respective parts, Nayoung was stunned.
stable!
Surprisingly stable!
Not only were they not nervous, but everyone performed at 120% better than during rehearsals! Their emotions were overflowing, and their eyes shone with excitement!
Nayoung, holding the microphone, stared blankly at the three boys and girls:
"No... what's wrong with the three of you?"
"Why are they all acting like they've been injected with adrenaline?"
"Did I miss something? Did you guys secretly practice extra after the blind auditions? How did you improve so much?"
The three of them exchanged a glance, their faces showing a shy yet determined smile.
One of the boys boldly said:
"Teacher Nayoung, there was no extra practice."
"Mainly because before we went on stage, Goddess Bai Zhi... oh no, classmate Bai Zhi encouraged us!"
She said she believed in us, encouraged us to keep going, and even made a heart shape with her hands for us!
"We'll give it our all to live up to the goddess's expectations!"
"puff--"
The whole place burst into laughter.
Nayoung was both amused and exasperated, and slapped her forehead:
"Oh! So all my patient and earnest advice every day is less effective than a beautiful woman's 'Keep it up,' huh?"
"You guys are so real!"
Although she complained, Nayoung was actually even happier inside.
Jiang Baizhi is not only strong herself, but she can also elevate the entire team's level through this method. She has the natural leadership qualities!
After commenting on the three outstanding supporting actors, the main focus naturally fell on Jiang Bai.
Na-young looked at Jiang Bai, her eyes filled with amazement and curiosity:
"Little Angelica, is this song 'Gently Tell You' also your original composition?"
Jiang Bai nodded obediently: "Yes, teacher."
"That's amazing!"
Na-young sighed:
"The style of this song is completely different from what I expected."
"Young people these days like fast-paced, electronic music, but your song..."
"It's full of the innocence and romance of the 1990s, it's like taking us back to that golden age."
"Can you tell me how you came up with the idea to create such a retro-style song?"
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, picked up the microphone, and gave a perfect answer:
"Because I believe that classic things will never go out of style."
"I wanted to pay tribute to the most beautiful golden age of Chinese music through this song."
These words were met with even more enthusiastic applause from the audience.
It's so nostalgic!
But Jiang Bai felt a little shy inside.
He can't exactly say... that he deliberately chose this "dream girl" style to appeal to the middle-aged and elderly male market, can he?
If I said that out loud, I'd probably get beaten to death!
