"Pied"
"Piper" was limited to three people, but before Song An-ran, no one had asked about this song.
The second person to choose this song was Kim Jo-seok of MUSICWORKS, who had participated in "SuperStar".
She was sweet and cute, and her vocal skills were not bad.
Probably because this song was neither the main song nor the second song, it was not well-known. Many trainees even had no impression of this song.
Therefore, as the song with the lowest number of people, it was a good opportunity for trainees who were not ranked high to show their skills, but it was left to the end of the song selection.
Kang Se-hyun of Empire, who was also the last contestant for the first time, was automatically assigned to "Pied".
"Piper".
After Kang Se-hyun entered Song An-ran's group, she quickly bowed to the two of them and said guiltily,
"Mi A Nai, my position is a dancer. I can't sing at all. I'm really sorry to have caused you a lot of trouble."
Song An-ran was shocked by her actions. After hearing her words, she hugged her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Kenchana, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault."
Kim Jo-seok next to her was also amused. She patted Kang Se-hyun's back and comforted her.
"It's not bad to try singing, isn't it? Let's work hard together."
"Nai, I'll try my best to keep up with you."
Song An-ran covered her forehead. Seeing her bow like a storm, she sighed helplessly. It was a headache for her to meet such overly polite people.
"Se-hyun, have you heard of this song?"
"Mi A Nai, I have no impression of it at all …"
Seeing that she was about to apologize again, Song An-ran quickly said,
"Kenchana, let's listen to the song first."
"Nai."
The songs in 101 would more or less be adapted by the producer. In this way, the trainees could perform their own characteristics and avoid the fans of the original singer from comparing them.
Therefore, Song An-ran still did not know how the song would turn out. She took the tablet from the PD, took a deep breath, concentrated, and pressed play.
Because it's bad, it's better.
Don't we all know that?
… "
The sound source of the demo was arranged by the producer and recorded by someone else. Because it was impossible to invite the original singer to record the demo, the PD tried their best to invite suitable people to record the demo.
However, the effect of this Song An-ran was still a lot worse. Sure enough, Bulletproof's style was too difficult to imitate. There were not many changes to the arrangement of the opening part, but the male singer who recorded this part had an ordinary voice and did not have a good grasp of the emotions. He was not as amazing as the original singer Tian Jiuguo when he opened his mouth.
With her back facing the camera, Song An-ran secretly pursed her lips. She did not know why, but she felt an inexplicable awkwardness in her heart.
“Hey，
I know you're showing me to your friends.
How every step backward is sadder than me
Even though I am so imperfect.
You still never give up.
… "
This adaptation made Song An-ran's eyes light up. Because it was a Vocal Group, the rap part was largely removed. Instead, it was replaced by a brisk, languid, jazz-style singing.
However, this was not what surprised her. For someone like her who was used to the original song, this kind of connection was actually a little hard to accept. However, the new lyrics completely covered up the inadequacies of the arrangement.
The original song was what Bulletproof wanted to convey to the fans, and the new song inherited this point. It perfectly conveyed the gratitude that all the contestants of Team 101 wanted to express to their fans.
Kim Jo-seok, who was beside her, was also amazed when she saw the lyrics. She gave the camera a heartfelt thumbs up. Kang Se-hyun, who was apologizing non-stop, was stunned. She knew nothing about vocal music, but she knew that this song was indeed different from other songs. The melody was special, and the lyrics were special. She had a feeling that this song might become a hit.
"Follow the sound of the flute, follow the music.
Even if it's a little dangerous, I'm sweet and tempting, aren't I?
I'm here to save you, and also to destroy you.
You're the one who called me here.
Look.
Isn't it sweet?
Follow the sound of the flute.
I'm
takin'
you”
Kang Se-hyun's little bit of ambition was immediately patted down. Not even a speck of it was left. Her knees went weak, and she knelt on the ground. She took the opportunity to bow to Song An-ran and Kim Jo-seok in front of her.
"Ah, something big happened. I can't do it, I definitely can't do it. Mi Ah Nae, Ji Bai, I'll leave this high note to you. "
Song An-ran was shocked by this sudden gesture. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Kang Se-hyun, who was older than her, was actually bowing to her. It was so grand that she knelt down without thinking and bowed to her.
"Kenchana, Augny, don't be like this. We'll do it well, don't worry. Don't be like this, don't be like this … "
Kim Jo-seok, who was the oldest, looked at their comical behavior and couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed one of them in each hand and pulled them up from the ground.
"Hey, why are you like this? Get up and talk properly. "
After being lifted up, Song An-ran also felt that her behavior must be very silly in front of the camera. She covered her face and giggled.
"Nae, Augny, let's start practicing."
When it was time to practice, Song An-ran found that Kang Se-hyun's words were not modest at all.
"Because … bad … Mi Ah Nae, I'm late. "
"Because it's bad, so … Ah, Mi Ah Nae."
…
Song Anran saw that she couldn't catch the opportunity to get into the song, so he clapped for her and gave her a look before it was time to sing.
"Because it's bad, so it's better …"
She finally entered the song at the right time, but the bad thing was that it was completely out of tune.
Kim Jo-seok frowned and interrupted her.
"Ah Ni, Se-hyun, you have to sing lower."
Song An-ran sat in front of the electronic piano in the practice room. After a simple musical score of the song, she asked Kang Se-hyun to sing according to the melody she played.
After Kang Se-hyun finished singing, Song An-ran and Kim Jo-seok looked at each other and realized that the situation was serious. If it was just the high notes that couldn't go up, he could have just given the high notes to the two of them. However, this song was obviously tone-deaf. The difficulty of the song was also on the high side. It was really a hellish difficulty.
…
In the next few days, not only Kang Se-hyun, but also Song An-ran and Kim Jo-seok were forced to enter hell mode. They not only had to practice their part of the high notes, but they also had to be Kang Se-hyun's vocal music teachers.
This girl's company originally wanted to launch an all-female dance troupe, so they didn't hire any vocal music teachers for them. Whether it was opening the voice, pronunciation, or singing techniques, Song An-ran and Kim Jo-seok taught her from scratch.
PD: "Are you satisfied with the group's current progress? Do you feel that it's a burden to practice and teach contestant Kang Se-hyun at the same time? "
Song An-ran, who was taken to the small dark room: "Although the group's progress is a lot behind the other groups, I'm very satisfied with the current progress. Se-hyun, Augny, won't feel that it's a burden at all. Instead, I'll feel a great sense of accomplishment for teaching Augny how to sing. "
Song An-ran opened her eyes wide, clenched her small fists, and made a cheering gesture.
"Augny, fighting!"
On the day of the teacher's review, Song An-ran and Kang Se-hyun arrived at the practice room early in the morning. Both of them were wearing hats, pulled down the brims of their hats, and made sure that there was no one around.
"Okay, Augny, let's start now."
"Nei, ahhhhhhh"
"Augny, Charanda! Do it a few more times. "
"Okay, ahhhhhh …"
Kim Jo-seok, who arrived a few minutes late, stood at the door. She was speechless as she looked at the two girls who seemed to be doing something naughty. He walked over, took off their hats, and rubbed their furry little heads. Then, he turned around and sat on the ground in a carefree manner.
"You guys continue singing, I'll eat breakfast first."
Song An-ran, whose hair was messed up, used her fingers to pull at her hair, trying to straighten it out. She obediently agreed.
Jiang Shixian, on the other hand, continued to speak in a serious tone despite his hair standing on end.
Last night, the three of them finally sang a complete song together for the first time. When the last note fell, the three of them were so tired that they lay on the floor. Compared to physical exhaustion, singing was a technical activity. The result of repeated practice was a physical fear of songs.
Listening to songs and practicing songs continuously, repeatedly correcting a word, a pronunciation, after a long time, the brain would become a mess. Compared to physical exhaustion, the mind was more tired.
Song An-ran would sometimes forget what she was doing while singing. She would even stare at the lyrics and suddenly forget how to pronounce a word. The two beside her did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Because they were worried that they would not perform well during the review, the three of them agreed to come to the classroom to practice first in the morning. They took advantage of the time in the morning to sing, so there were two sneaky people shouting in the practice room.
"An-ran, what should I do? I'm so nervous."
The trainees from the previous group had finished their performance, and it was their turn soon. Kang Se-hyun grabbed Song An-ran's hand. Her lips were pale, and her voice was weak.
"Augny, we practiced very well. It will be fine. You must have confidence."
Song An-ran held her hand and said firmly.
"Next group, Pied.
Piper. "
When the prelude of the song came out, Song An-ran was so scared that she jumped up from the floor. This song had become a shadow in her heart. She felt that she would not be able to hear this song again for at least a month after the performance.
"Because it's bad, it's better.
Don't we all know that … "
After Kang Se-hyun opened her mouth to sing the first line, Song An-ran's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the teacher, and sure enough, Teacher Xiao Zhen's face had quickly turned black. Kang Se-hyun also knew that she was nervous and raised the pitch too high. However, she could not change it. She could only close her eyes and bite the bullet to continue singing.
"It's not like we're receiving punishment, right?"
