Chapter 18 Chinese Girl Group

"Ancestor, you want the Kobe beef." Luo Quan walked into the house and placed the packaged steak in front of Wen Xia. It also included a plastic box of rice, which cost her 30,000 yen.

"I'm finally back. I'm starving to death." Wen Xia took a sip of saliva, and then hurriedly prepared to eat.

After staying outside for so long and feeling the warm and cozy atmosphere at home, Luo Quan didn't even bother to take off his makeup and collapsed directly on the Tata rice.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Wen Xia took a bite of the steaming steak and asked in concern.

Luo Quan said feebly: "I'm so exhausted. I signed autographs for more than a thousand fans in one go today, and my hand almost broke..."

Wen Xia sipped her chopsticks and said, "It's normal. With your enthusiasm, I'll probably have to do this once a week in the future."

"No, there will be no next time." Luo Quan shook his head with a hint of tears, "I will never participate in any offline activities again, be it book signings, meet-and-greets, thank you handshakes, don't even think about me. go again!"

"Wait a minute, I haven't noticed that you're wearing makeup today!" Wen Xia exclaimed. Luo Quan's appearance with makeup can be said to be even better, and this posture now makes him say no. Out of allure.

"Keep this position and don't move. I'll take a picture." Wen Xia said, taking out his mobile phone and pressing the shutter on Luo Quan, who looked hopeless in front of him.

"What's there to take a picture of? I sweated so much today and my makeup is all gone." Luo Quan put his right hand across his head and glanced at Wen Xia.

Wen Xia smiled and said: "There are no flowers, but the hair is a bit messy, but it has a special kind of beauty."

"What kind of beauty?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

"It's like a peony flower that has been destroyed by ruthless wind and rain. The petals are sadly scattered on the ground, leaving only a solitary pedicel. It has a sad and pitiful beauty..."

"A broken flower is a willow? I know you're holding back nothing!" Luo Quan glared at Wen Xia angrily, turned his head and ignored her, then opened his phone and started scrolling through Twitter.

So far, her Twitter followers have exceeded 200,000, and the upward trend is as strong as her record sales. Looking at the Oricon chart, three of her songs can already be seen on the list.

The ranking of this list is based on a combination of physical sales and online playback. Among her songs, "Once I Thought It Was All Over" is the highest among her songs, ranking 21st, and "Lemon" is 28th. "Spark" ranked thirty-seventh.

This result is similar to what Luo Quan expected. The songs on the recent list are basically new songs from some girl groups. The sales volume is high, but the quality is really average. It is a boring song that is boring after listening to it a few times. When it comes to really high-end songs, Quality songs will be brushed off sooner or later.

As soon as he put down his phone, Luo Quan heard a sound from Wen Xia's side, which sounded like a domestic variety show.

Luo Quan moved his body curiously and put his head in front of Wen Xia's computer screen: "What are you looking at?"

Wen Xia slowly ate the steak rice bowl and said vaguely: "Let's debut. The domestic girl group talent show has recently been launched and is very popular."

"It's not bad. I remember that there hasn't been such a large-scale talent show in China for a long time."

"Can you tell me after reading it?" Wen Xia looked serious and looked at it very seriously.

Today is already the second episode. The contestants have already shown their talents and have begun to enter the group training stage. The content broadcast is basically the anecdotes of the contestants during training, including conflicts, tears, and friendship. There is just no level.

In the end, the dances and songs performed by each group were almost eye-catching except for a few individuals.

But from Luo Quan's point of view, it's actually not bad. After all, this is a draft with a public face. There are only a few people who have actually been trainees. Although the other players have poor foundation, at least their attitudes are very correct, and most of them have good looks. That's okay.

However, the final results of the audience voting surprised Luo Quan. Except for a few individuals, the strong trainees were generally a bit low. On the contrary, some contestants who were not strong but had a more likable personality, personality or appearance got the most votes. Unexpectedly high.

Seeing this, Wen Xia turned off the live broadcast and looked a little solemn.

"What's wrong?" Luo Quan was confused.

Wen Xia squeezed her Jingming point tiredly: "If these are the future members of the girl group, then it is impossible for this girl group to become popular."

"Why, I think they look pretty good. Some of these girls are pretty good-looking. They'll be licked by a lot of people right after they debut."

Wen Xia was speechless: "Do you think this is a beauty pageant? With makeup and filters, appearance is never the most important factor in a girl group becoming popular, only strength and personality are!"

Luo Quan frowned and said: "The strength is not bad. I think they dance pretty well. Even if there is a gap compared with the Korean girl groups, it's not too far behind."

Wen Xia didn't speak, she just opened Youtube on her computer, entered Sweet girl in the search bar, and a list of videos with tens of millions of views immediately appeared, and she clicked on one at random.

This video is an early MV released by the girl group Wen Xia once belonged to. It has been played nearly 100 million times. The song in the MV does not sound catchy in melody, but it is very dynamic and can be regarded as a good dance song.

However, the highlight of this MV is the five idols dancing to the music. Their movements are uniform and powerful. Whether it is the rhythm, timing or the beauty of the dance, they are impeccable.

Among the ninety-nine contestants divided into so many groups before, Luo Quan couldn't find a group that could compare with the five idols in the video, and he couldn't even see their taillights.

"Do you see the difference?" Wen Xia turned off the video and asked.

Luo Quan looked embarrassed: "This... the gap seems really big."

Wen Xia said solemnly: "We belong to a fourth-generation girl group. We debuted less than three years ago. Our dancing skills can rank among the top three among girl groups of the same generation, but compared with those seniors who have been famous for a long time, we are at least one level behind." !”

Luo Quan sighed: "There is definitely a gap. After all, people started doing this more than ten years ago and have formed a professional industry chain. We have just started."

"So, this is where I feel uncomfortable." Wen Xia lay down with a frustrated look on his face and said: "Originally, I thought it would not be difficult to find a few good-looking trainees in China who are good at singing and dancing. But now it seems , I’m afraid it’s not easy to find someone who meets one of the conditions, I still think of things too simply.”

Luo Quan comforted him: "Don't worry, China is so big and everything is lacking. As long as there is no shortage of people, you will always find them."

Wen Xia suddenly stood up and looked directly at Luo Quan: "Luo Luo, can you dance?!"

Luo Quan was stunned: "Are you trying to get me to join you? I don't know how to dance. Even if I can, I won't do it. Does this long-armed and long-legged person look good when he dances?"

Wen Xia thought about it and nodded: "Yes, your body type is suitable for broadcast gymnastics. When you grow taller, your appearance will be too weird when you stand in the women's group."

"Fuck me..." I swear to God, if Luo Quan wasn't as strong as Wen Xia, Luo Quan would teach her a lesson now and spank her hard!

"No, I still have to say a few words!" Wen Xia turned over and opened his mobile phone, logged into the main account with his mobile phone, and published a Weibo: "With my level, regardless of appearance and resume, can I be in "Let's Debut" What's your ranking?"

After reading Wen Xia's Weibo post, Luo Quan was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid of offending people by posting like this?"

Wen Xia rolled her eyes: "If I really want to offend someone, I can only say two words at most: That's it?"

"Awesome." Luo Quan gave Wen Xia a thumbs up. Girls with such personality are rare anymore.

Because Wen Xia's resignation from the group has not completely subsided, her Weibo post quickly received a lot of attention, and netizens ridiculed her on Weibo:

"I don't think it's possible. You don't have good looks, a backstage, and your emotional intelligence is so low. You're probably kicked off by your instructor as soon as you get on stage. I suggest you become a dance teacher in the future, otherwise you won't be able to afford a meal."

"Shocked! The former popular female team leader is in such a miserable state that she can't even afford three meals a day."

"To be serious, the instructor from the variety show was probably a little behind in teaching Wen Xia."

"Don't you understand what Wen Xia means? He's saying that variety shows have insider information. Those with talent are ranked lower, while those with good looks and big companies are ranked higher. It's not fair at all!"

"Old Tai Wen Xia is a very good person, and his yin and yang aura can always be used."

"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time, but I'm afraid of being scolded, so Wen Xia is strong enough."

Interestingly, although Wen Xia's Weibo triggered a huge discussion, there are no related search terms on the hot search list at all.

"It seems someone has suppressed him." Luo Quan glanced at Wen Xia, who sighed helplessly and closed Weibo.
