After the song ended, Fang Juexia said "Happy Birthday" softly. The other teammates followed suit and congratulated the friend who requested the song.
Pei Tingsong put down the guitar in his hand, twisted open the bottle of water beside his hand and handed it to Fang Juexia. Fang Juexia naturally took it, took a small sip, and handed it back to him. Pei Tingsong blocked it with his wrist and whispered to him to take another sip.
Fang Juexia reluctantly took another sip and put the bottle on the table.
The host continued to read the message sent by the audience, "A listener with the ID 'Peanut Flavored Smoothie' asked, 'What is your most memorable memory of summer?'"
Pei Tingsong took the bottle of water, took a big sip, and twisted it.
Jiang Miao, who was called out, said into the microphone, "Thank you for the question."
His most memorable memory of summer.
He thought for a while, and his eyes softened. "My most memorable memory should be eating watermelon with my little sister. We grew up in my uncle's house, so we were different from other kids … "
He hesitated for a while, then smiled. "I remember when I was in the first year of junior high school, I came back home after evening self-study. The school was a little far from where I lived, so it was quite late when I got home. Then, I realized that my little sister was still awake. She quietly got out of her bed with a bowl and snuck into my room. "
"She left it for me after dinner. She didn't eat it herself. But she was too young, so she didn't know that she had to put it in the fridge because it was hot, so it wasn't fresh anymore. But I still ate it to make her happy. We sat on the bed facing each other. She smiled at me and said that she dug out all the seeds and buried them in the flower pot. Then, I ate another seed, and she was very angry. She said that watermelons were sinister. "
Fang Juexia looked at Jiang Miao. He was rarely emotional. Unlike himself, who was cold and introverted, Jiang Miao was always steady and self-controlled. He cared about the big picture and protected every member. This was already engraved in his bones.
But in fact, he suffered a lot when he was young.
Jiang Miao smiled and looked at the host. "I think that was the best watermelon I've ever eaten."
Fang Juexia, who usually didn't like to talk, suddenly said, "If Miao Ge and I knew each other when we were in school, we would have become good friends."
Jiang Miao looked at him and smiled. "That's right, we must be best classmates."
This wasn't a lie.
When they first formed the group, he and Jiang were the first to debut. they often had meals together, and he learned a lot about Miao's past...... If he wasn't forced, he probably wouldn't have debuted in the idol group................
Back then, Fang Juexia knew that in order to raise his sister, he had done a lot of things. He had worked part-time, worked as a streamer, and played the zither for others in the live streaming room. He had received a lot of disdain and criticism. The environment in which he grew up forced him to grow up earlier than others, to become someone who could protect others.
But he was still a teenager at that time.
He Ziyan patted Jiang Miao's shoulder. "As Yao Yao's rumored boyfriend, I have to clarify that this sister has been silly since she was young. She's very similar to her brother in some ways."
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Yao Yao is in her rebellious phase now. Be careful. She might hit you."
He Ziyan retorted, "What's there to be afraid of? There are too many rebellious phase girls around me. I even lived in the same dormitory as a rebellious child."
Pei Tingsong threw a small doll at him. "How much do you owe me for my appearance?"
Everyone laughed and chatted as usual.
The host threw the question to Lu Yuan, who was sitting beside him. "Lu Yuan, do you remember anything about Xia Tian?"
"Xia Tian …" Lu Yuan looked up at the ceiling. "A few years ago, I won an award. At that time, I was very young and didn't know much. What happened after that was out of my control. "
As he spoke, he smiled. "When you feel that you've gained everything, but at the same time, you've lost everything and become all alone. That kind of feeling is very difficult to accept. I was depressed for a long time. Then I came to Kaledo by accident. Only then did I realize that God is fair. He takes away your things. As long as you don't give up, he will give you better things in return. "
His words were very honest. Lu Yuan didn't blame his former brothers who kicked him out of the dance troupe. He also didn't indulge in the past glory. He had long since been able to recall his youth peacefully.
"Now that I think about it, I still miss the summer of the competition. So many people, working hard together, chasing their dreams. Now I'm a judge. When I watch the contestants compete, it's like watching myself. So I told them that the results aren't important. What's important is every moment you're in the competition. "
It was rare that he didn't make jokes or deliberately make jokes. Instead, he was very serious about reminiscing.
"So what that summer taught me is that it's very easy for people to get separated. Sometimes, both parties didn't do anything wrong, but they just walked and walked and walked. We must cherish everyone who is still by our side. "
Fate was a huge wave. Humans were even smaller than the waves. They could only be pushed forward, gathered together, or scattered.
The six of them had different personalities. They were the kind of people who were pushed together.
The host agreed with his point of view. "This episode is so emotional."
Ling Yi also smiled and said, "Why isn't today's episode Kaledo at all?"
Pei Tingsong said, "Every time I accidentally fall into the emotional segment, I quickly pull back. This is very Kaledo."
"Hahahaha."
The host continued to read, "The ID is' Grapes Are Still Ripe '…"
Ling Yi laughed. "I can sing out the ID of this listener."
Fang Juexia looked at Pei Tingsong beside him. "He must be looking for you."
Pei Tingsong shrugged. "I'm the King of Nicknames."
The host was also amused. "This listener said, 'When Xiao Pei joined Kaledo, he was only 17 years old. Before that, he had always been abroad. I want to know why he came to Kaledo.'"
After hearing this question, Fang Juexia broke out in cold sweat. Pei Tingsong didn't join the boy band willingly. In fact, from the beginning to the end, the only one in the group who really wanted to be an idol was Fang Juexia.
Pei Tingsong was an accident.
"When I first joined, Kaledo was already a group." Pei Tingsong spoke directly without much thought. "All the plans were made according to the five-member group. The configuration was also very complete. There were lead dancers, singers, and rappers. My joining was actually quite sudden at the time, and it also caused a lot of trouble for everyone. The choreographed dance had to be reshot for the formation, and the debut song was unexpectedly aborted. We changed to a new song. "
This was the first time they heard Pei Tingsong apologize for his sudden appearance. Everyone was a little surprised.
"No, it's not like that," Ling Yi said. "When we heard that there was a new brother, we were very happy. We just didn't expect this brother to be so tall … "
"Hahahahaha."
Pei Tingsong also laughed. "My original intentions weren't good. I have a lot of prejudice. Using the words' young and frivolous' to describe my state at the time is already a compliment. At the time, my definition of dreams was very narrow, and I self-righteously resisted a lot. After the family who loved me the most left, I felt like a lone bird in a cage. I wanted to fly out, but I couldn't. "
"I went underground when I was a teenager. You know that kind of environment is very chaotic and crazy." He shook his head slightly. "Later, my sister came to find me and scolded me."
He Ziyan said in surprise, "Someone dared to scold you?"
Lu Yuan said, "Hahahaha, what's going on? Can't people express their feelings?"
Fang Juexia looked at Pei Tingsong. "What did she say?"
"She said that for people like me, dreams are no longer a luxury. It was my own arrogance that trapped me. She wanted me to see the real world. "
Try to pursue your dreams like an ordinary person.
Jiang Miao said gently, "Although this sounds a little harsh, it's really for your own good."
The entertainment industry was an extreme microcosm of a small world. It was a petri dish that magnified good and evil. Pei Tingsong was a cynical idealist. He embraced his rebellious principles and fell from the sky into this unstable small world.
"Maybe." Pei Tingsong shrugged. "But she probably didn't expect that I would be so lucky."
It was supposed to be a trial to see the real world, but he fell beside this group of kind and brave people.
He fell in front of Fang Juexia.
Fang Juexia turned his head and asked him, "Is the real world good?"
Pei Tingsong smiled and nodded. "Very good."
I can only meet you in the real world, so no matter how difficult it is, it's good.
The radio program was broadcast in real time. The program team would also edit a special version that included a video and put it on the website. That night, several members of Kaledo appeared on the hot search. There was # Jiang Miao Family #, # Lu Yuan Champion #, and # Guitar Version of "Night Tour" #.
In the eyes of most netizens, Kaledo had a lot of inherent labels, such as "strong", "not like a boy group", and "group crosstalk". They were always said to be strong, miserable, and unlucky, but they rarely really came out to talk about their past. If the theme of this episode was not [Summer and Youth], they might not have recalled their past in public.
This episode also allowed more people to understand the experiences and pasts of the members. It was not just them on stage, but the real Kaleido.
[To Be an Upright Person: After listening to some of their clips and then listening to their songs, I felt a lot of emotions. Every one of us has a summer that we can't go back to. When we were young, we always thought that we were the world, but when we kept moving forward, we realized that the world was so big and we were so small.]
[7788 Not 6: This group is really good. PS: "Night Tour" is really good. The fjx sound is amazing.]
[Is It Raining Today: Previously, I only thought of Kaledo as fjx and PTS. After listening to the radio program, I suddenly fell in love with the leader of this group. He's so gentle.]
[Waiting for a Boyfriend Online: I used to watch Lu Yuan's competition, but a lot of things happened after the competition and there was no follow-up. Later, when I saw him in Kaledo, I was very surprised. Sure enough, some people are destined to succeed.]
[Don't Like RPS Anymore: Is my CP brain acting up again? Why do I feel that the atmosphere of PTS and fjx when singing "Night Tour" is very subtle? Is it the filter of this song? I'm obviously not their CP!]
[KKKK Reply: Don't Like RPS Anymore: Me too … (Whispering, fan sister, don't tear me apart. Your idol is better than you.)]
[Hiding a Secret: The previous "Breaking the Formation" had a tragic feeling of fighting to the death. But when I saw a few boys chatting and singing on the radio, gently comforting the audience and sharing their own stories, I felt that they were friends by my side. It was a lot closer. I have to admit that I only learned about this group after listening to "Night Tour". At first, I didn't think that this was a song by a member of a boy group. But now that I've watched this episode, my view has changed a lot. I hope they will get better and have more good works.]
The hot song effect of "Night Tour" was very successful in driving the whole "Last Summer" album, attracting many music lovers who were not very interested in the common style of boy groups. Originally, they created this summer mini album with the mentality of making niche music. Their original intention was not to hit the singles, so they also tried a lot of new styles and types of arrangements, a bit of an experimental product.
But this new attempt was widely praised by music critics, breaking their inherent impression of the boy band.
[Xiaoyu Talks about Music: I listened to "Last Summer" by Kaleido. There are only four songs in the whole album, but the content is very rich. The lyrics are good. Pei Tingsong finally broke through his previous creation this time. He changed from a rebellious teenager to a gentle narrator. It was a surprise.
The arrangement of the title song is very rich. The atmosphere of the drum set is very strong. In particular, there is a timbre that is very similar to the timbre of the dulcimer. It is very fresh. The piano foreshadowing in the chorus is very much like the feeling of the summer rainy season. Seeing that the arrangement was done by He Ziyan alone, I have to praise him. He has made great progress.
The European electronic style of "Daydream", the psychedelic arrangement and the daydream of the lyrics are very close to the mood of the daydream, especially the loop part. There is also "Swim Across the Sea", with a little bit of country music style. It is very rare for a boy group to try this kind of style. The guitar is good, bringing out the dry feeling of summer. The whole song is more picturesque. The countryside, the ocean, the sun, the shedding shoulders.
Finally, there is "Night Tour", which I have already praised. Fang Juexia's composing talent is something that many people can't ask for. The sensitivity and creativity of this kind of melody are very lively. Compared with the six-member version, I personally feel that the single version is more soulful. The arrangement is very gloomy, and there is a sense of drowning. But this is a trade-off between the two very good versions.
In general, this is an album that you can completely ignore your prejudice and listen to. It can be said that Kaleido has given their own high-level answer sheet after handing in the standard excellent work of "Breaking the Formation". I appreciate their attitude towards original music, and I believe that there will be better works in the future.]
It received a lot of good reviews from professional music critics, and this album became a summer dark horse. From the public's point of view, the rarest thing for a boy group is to have a national hit. Including "Breaking the Formation", Kaleido already has two representative works. The previous explosion of popularity now has a stable follow-up, and the saying that it was a flash in the pan is self-defeating.
What's more, Kaleido is a creative boy group that relies on their works to speak. As long as there are songs, they are not afraid of their popularity falling.
Cheng Qiang walked into the dressing room and clapped his hands. "After the new fans meet, we will directly have a celebration party."
"Yeah!!"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Ling Yi, you only know how to eat."
"Let's eat barbecue, Chang Ge." He Ziyan leaned back in the chair and cast a look at Cheng Qiang, asking for approval.
"Okay." Cheng Qiang crossed his arms. "They are okay, but you should eat less. You have to take care of your weight when you are filming."
"Hahahahaha!"
Pei Tingsong was already done with her makeup and hair. She leaned on the sofa and browsed Weibo for a while. Fang Juexia also finished drying his hair and sat next to Pei Tingsong. There were only two of them on the sofa. Fang Juexia touched Pei Tingsong's foot with his foot.
Pei Tingsong glanced down, then looked up at Fang Juexia and praised, "Today's hairstyle looks good."
I'm not here to ask for praise, Fang Juexia said in his heart.
"Are you browsing Weibo?"
Pei Tingsong nodded. She thought of something and deliberately whispered in his ear, "They found out about you wearing the Spring Day Prison Snow shirt."
"What??" Fang Juexia's eyes widened. "How?"
"What do you think?" Pei Tingsong couldn't help but laugh. "The CP fans are all looking for candy with a microscope. They can even lick candy on the tip of a knife. Fight with them."
Fang Juexia still couldn't understand his failure. "But I didn't wear a nameplate. That shirt is similar to my white shirt. I even took it out to compare. How did they find out? "
"Let me show you." Pei Tingsong handed his phone to him. On the screen was a Weibo post by a girl with hearing.
[Every Day Help Hearing Press the Locker Door: Sisters! Beautiful Baby is definitely wearing the shirt given by the Spring Day Prison Snow CP Station! Look at this screenshot. It's a close-up of Baby's shirt when she was singing. The embroidery on the front is clearly words! I photoshopped it. Look at the second screenshot and you can see the words clearly. There is the word 'Summer'! (Today is another day that I didn't fulfill my ID responsibilities.) [Picture] [Picture]]
Fang Juexia clicked on the screenshot and zoomed in to take a look.
God, it was really her. He thought he couldn't see it clearly.
He couldn't help but scroll through the comments.
[I'm Deaf, I'm Happy: My God, I never thought that this amazing candy was given by Beautiful Bellflower. Who would dare to believe it …]
Why wouldn't they dare to believe it? Fang Juexia was puzzled.
[Ordinary Hearing Girl: It's really a white shirt embroidered with the words' I said Summer is so long '! God, I'll always love FJX. Beautiful Baby is so brave!]
[ZD: This is a real two-way street … How can I be fooled by hearing?]
[Grape Tree Scenery: It's too sweet. Sob, sob, sob. The summary of the radio station's candy collection is 15 minutes long. Sisters, go and watch it! Wolf Cub looked at Juexia Ge 17 times when he was playing the guitar. There are so many small actions. They are totally in love XQL!]
Was, was it that obvious?
Fang Juexia felt guilty as if he was caught doing something bad. He stuffed the phone into Pei Tingsong's hands. "I'm not watching anymore."
"I've seen enough."
Fang Juexia thought that Pei Tingsong wouldn't be caught so obviously.
Because he was too cunning.
Wait a minute. Fang Juexia suddenly thought of something. "How did you know that they found the clothes?"
Suddenly being interrogated, Pei Tingsong was startled. "This …"
After the last person was done, Cheng Qiang urged them to get ready to go to the venue. Pei Tingsong wanted to find an excuse to hide, but Fang Juexia stood up at the same time and grabbed his arm. "Speak."
"I, I just followed some CP websites."
"Followed?" Fang Juexia couldn't believe his ears. "Are you crazy?"
"No," Pei Tingsong immediately explained. "I followed it on my smurf account."
Fang Juexia was even more incredulous. "You have a smurf account? Aren't you afraid of being exposed? "
"What's there to be afraid of?" Pei Tingsong shrugged and grabbed his wrist as they walked through the dim backstage passage. "My smurf account never scolds people. Only my main account scolds people."
How could that be?
Fang Juexia made an unreasonable request expressionlessly. "Let me see your smurf account."
"That won't do." Pei Tingsong called Xiao Wen and transferred her phone to her assistant, saying that she was about to go on stage.
Cunning. Really cunning.
The venue of the meet-and-greet this time was a little different from before. Star Map had booked a large cafe with many green plants. A large projection screen was the center of the stage, and it was decorated like a music salon. Not many fans were invited, but the entire process was broadcasted live so that other fans could watch.
The six of them were dressed in very simple summer clothes. They came down from the second floor and greeted the fans. The fans tried hard to suppress their screams and waved at them.
Ling Yi took the microphone and sat down on the six high stools in front of the projection screen. He said, "There's no host today."
He Ziyan said, "Maybe the company finally realized that it's a waste of money to hire a host for us."
"Hahahahaha!"
Jiang Miao looked around and said, "Let's greet the fans first. One, two, three …"
"Hello everyone! We are Kaleido! "
The fans who were a few meters away from them also made the "K" hand gesture.
Jiang Miao, as the official spokesperson, said, "First of all, thank you very much for your support of 'Last Summer'. We have also received a lot of great comments."
A fan said loudly, "You have been nominated by the BMA!" The BMA was the Best Music Award. It was currently the most authoritative music award ceremony in the Chinese industry.
"Is that so?" Ling Yi asked without rhyme or reason.
"Hahahaha, what's wrong with you guys?"
Lu Yuan was also a little confused. "No, we really don't know. Chang Ge didn't say anything. "
Cheng Qiang, who was not far away, spread his hands to show that he didn't know either.
"It's the list that just came out!" The fan smiled and raised his phone.
They nodded in realization. Ling Yi suddenly turned around and shook Fang Juexia's hand. "Congratulations." He turned to the other side and shook Lu Yuan's hand. "Congratulations."
"Congratulations." The scene suddenly turned into a strange scene of six people congratulating each other.
"That's enough. It's as if we really won an award." Pei Tingsong said with disdain, "Don't let the anti-fans laugh at us later."
The fans laughed. "Pei Tingsong, why are you so good at it?"
"It's so good that it hurts!"
"Hahahaha!"
After a while, Jiang Miao went back to the topic. "Our first song for today is still 'Last Summer.'" He turned around and said to the band behind him. "Teachers, you can start now."
The music started. The six of them sat on high stools and finished singing the title song in this summery cafe. Then, a scene of "Green Waves", which was accompanied by "Night Travel," was played on the screen. The six of them watched with great interest.
Fang Juexia looked at the scene. The male and female leads in school uniforms stopped their bicycles and walked across the lawn. The accompaniment was right next to their ears, evoking the throbbing atmosphere of youth. He couldn't help but think of the arrangement that Pei Tingsong mentioned on the radio program.
This drumming was indeed different from the six people's version. It wasn't as complicated, but the rhythm was a little special.
Fang Juexia vaguely felt something. He didn't take the microphone. Instead, he moved closer to Pei Tingsong's ear. "The timbre of this drumming is very special."
Pei Tingsong swiveled his chair and turned to smile at him. "You heard it."
Fang Juexia looked into his eyes. "What drumming is it?"
On the screen, the back of two hands brushed against each other. Their fingertips were restless. They wanted to hold each other's hands under the moonlight.
"The afternoon I wrote the lyrics, you fell asleep." His voice was very soft and slow. Every word was fated to match the accompanying drumming. He confessed to the moonlight in front of everyone.
"I took a sample of your heartbeat."
