Debut or Die - Chapter 391
If you can’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 391 The
day LeTi Survival implements an ambitious performance stage with the theme of ‘art’.
stage backstage.
“Shall we shout our slogan and go?”
“yes!”
Liu Qingyu also held out a hand, following the team member who gave a big answer and stretched out his hand.
“Let’s do well with the D team that is good at everything!”
It was contestant Shin Jae-hyeon who smiled and asked for a slogan. as far as he knows.
Although he is the leader of VTIC, he was also the one who fell into this strange situation.
‘I didn’t know we’d be performing together like this.’
It was unexpected for Ryu Cheng-wu. It’s like the situation itself, where you go back to the past and go to college with Ryu Kun-woo in the first place.
‘It’s like a fancy fantasy.’
I never dreamed that I would face such a surreal situation. But I was just accepting it like some kind of other life experience.
The preparation for the stage with this VTIC leader was extremely smooth.
‘greatly… Everything is put to good use in the right place.’
From contestants to trainers.
It was astonishing. The process of putting together the pictures that were already in my head one by one was so solid that it gave me goosebumps.
It was a bit mechanical, but… It seemed that a leader who was more capable in commanding the stage than himself was right.
‘I’ll have to train my skills more.’
Ryu Cheng-wu decided to do so instead of smiling bitterly at the victory.
“Now you can wait.”
“yes!”
The manned camera that filmed the slogan disappears in search of the next batter, and only the installed camera remains on the backstage.
Since their stage was the last, Ryu Cheng-wu watched the stage from the waiting room below.
‘Everything was good.’
Cha Yoo-jin and Kim Rae-bin were ripped apart and went into different groups one by one, each showing great contributions.
-Yeah!
He recalled Cha Yoo-jin, who was the center of the action paint performance, and Kim Rae-bin, who led the arrangement almost alone while talking excitedly with the orchestra conductor.
‘Especially, Lavin is really amazing.’
The growth was palpable.
I felt like that even when I had no memory, even during Azusa, but I felt like I was a genius.
“hmm.”
And right before them, the third stage was now scheduled to unfold in front of their eyes.
The stage of Moondae Park and VTIC members.
It was a combination that would have made people faint in real life, but that wasn’t the problem now.
‘… It’ll be fine.’
As soon as he saw the team’s first choreography in the practice room, he remembered what Cha Yoo-jin whispered.
-That’s the stage! ‘October 31’!
The stage of the first team of < Azusa > was so impressive that Cha Yu-jin even remembered the team name.
‘I was smashed without mercy.’
If they were lucky enough to be matched against Ryu Chung-woo’s team, they could have been on the same team, but the team split with the click of a button.
‘I pretended not to be at the time, but in reality it was quite disappointing.’
Liu Cheng-wu almost smiled faintly as he recalled the memory of that time, which now felt like a memory, but stopped.
It’s because I remembered Park Moon-dae’s condition while practicing this stage, which is exactly like that stage.
To put it bluntly, it looked completely dead.
-are you okay?
-okay. are you okay.
-Are you sick?? where does it hurt?
-no. not sick
There was no color at all.
Even though it was a different team, he and other testa members snooped on him a few times.
However, since everyone (except for Kim Rae-bin) guessed the reason, it was difficult to say anything.
Because I can’t just say ‘don’t do it’ about a stage that is not my own.
This is especially true for those who promise to ‘get on the target and get out of here’ while appearing on a survival program.
‘Still, if it had been like that for a few more days, I’d have talked more somehow.’
The situation changed a bit after the midterm evaluation.
Park Moon-dae changed the stage composition.
– There will be no time… .
– Still, we think it’s worth the challenge.
Saying that, the light returned to Park Moon-dae’s eyes, and it seemed that he had regained his usual firmness.
It didn’t shake.
Cha Yu-jin neatly organized her position.
-I think about Moondae hyung too much. I need to practice less this time. we’re watching
Cha Yujin was one of the youngest members, but unexpectedly, she was also a member who knew how to stab the core.
So, Ryu Chung-wu decided not to interfere with Park Mun-dae this time.
And the result was to be unfolded on that stage now.
He intended to take a closer look at the stage where the entire set was installed, slightly removing his upper body, but… .
“Hyung is always good on stage.”
“… ! yes. Yes.”
The VTIC leader spoke to me from the side.
The opponent, who was younger than him now, but couldn’t stop talking, was looking at the stage with quite pleasant eyes.
“You prepared this.”
“… … .”
Liu Qingyu turned his head.
The stage that started was projecting a snowy birch forest.
-… … .
A bell rings and a yellow moon rises on the slowly darkened stage.
and a ringing female chorus.
-Ah- ha ha Ah- ha ha
Beautiful minor harmony.
And in line with that disturbing chord, a human figure is revealed through the trees.
Three lofty silhouettes wearing black hoodies.
Between them, the limbs come out. A short and intense intro performance with overlapping white arms covered in linen.
-Woo! oooo oo oo
And to the tune of the final chorus, the three stand tall again. Hoods that are turned over in turn while matching formation.
Vocals in harmony with the exposed white face echo the stage like a stream of water.
-It’s cold outside
come here come in!
Let’s drink with us tonight
“… !”
It was Carol.
The English title of last year’s LeTi agency’s joint winter special album.
The retro carol that reminds me of the 19th century did not achieve great results in public, but it also created a cult-like mania group on the Internet.
The classical and warm melody met with an exaggerated orchestral accompaniment and turned into an elegant and secret feeling.
The reason it’s possible… .
‘The accompaniment is < To a New World >.’
Yes.
There was no restriction that only one song should be selected.
Moondae Park borrowed the accompaniment of the original song instead of completely distorting and arranging ‘To a New World’ as in 〈Azusa〉.
The dark melody, which has been changed to a minor key, meets the melody of an elegant orchestra representing a flower fairy to liven up the atmosphere.
And the song changes to a rhythm suitable for dancing.
-The
sound of a bell outside the window tonight
Ding-dong Ding-dong
Verse of the first verse like a ballad.
The two members perform a performance where they hold Chae-yul’s waist and lift her while lying on her back. Big action that catches the eye.
Ryu Kun-woo’s low-pitched chords, which supported Chae-yul’s vocals, are round and solid like water droplets.
-Ding-dong Ding-dong
The first verse that starts like that mixes storytelling with idol-like choreography.
The contestants did not laugh for the atmosphere, as if they were playing vampires, but they did a great job with all other facial expressions and gestures.
Instead of shouting ‘I’m a vampire’ with fangs or blood makeup, it’s an indirect way to make people infer it through costume style and choreography gestures.
The hooded robe flutters like a cape, revealing a gorgeous chained outfit inside.
-Beautiful sound of winter
Ding-dong Ding-dong
The voice of winter
The red lining inside the robe ripples.
After the choreography of the pre-chorus, in which both hands grab one’s neck and turn the upper body, the group dance with dynamics is exquisitely unfolded, until the chorus.
The dark and dense orchestra becomes grand again as it passes through the chorus.
-Tonight!
In the middle of winter
Lal lalalalala!
The moment the first verse ends with three people distributing their movements in all directions with impressive poses that tilt their bodies. On top of the faded semicircle.
A piano melody slides into the center of the empty stage.
-♬♩ ♪♪♩ – ♬♬♪- ♩
And the beginning is… This is the verse melody of 〈To a New World〉.
Here a new character appears on the stage.
A white hand appears from behind a tree to the music.
And soon, his arms are stretched out and his whole body is revealed on the stage.
-♩♫
Mentor is a dark-haired ballerino wearing a silhouette-revealing white costume.
light turns. And with him.
The action of jumping in the air is moderately controlled, and it balances the background like a doll in a snowball.
And a voice like a music box.
-Can’t you feel me.
From the left side of the stage, In-young again wearing a hood turns around.
“… !”
Gunwoo Ryu.
He held the head microphone with both hands and sang the lyrics softly and quietly.
-Your warm touch
lifts me up. It’s beautiful. The lights in
the spring garden
become warm with a beige light, and the winter mood disappears for a while.
The movement of a perfect ballerino that looks beautiful with power continues.
Arabesque.
-Umuum Umuum… .
But it’s a moment.
The moment the orchestra rushes into the song again at the end of the bridge bar.
The ballerino leaves the stage as if running away.
And in an instant, the three figures snatched it up again.
Performers in flashy outfits rushing in throwing hoodies.
The cold light fills the stage as if it explodes again.
-Woo! oooo oo oo
And the choreography of the chorus begins again. However, this time, a new movement was mixed in the movement.
Turns and jumps like the ballerino did right before.
Just cleverly constructed.
‘It feels different.’
It seems to imitate it, but it is a dance-pop movement in a genre that is distinctly different from ballet.
So that you can feel the quality of the stage as one without comparing the quality directly.
-In the snowy garden
in a teacup in a sugar bowl
The stimulating group dance and close-up gestures of idols fill the scene.
And a powerful ending.
-The bell rings
ring ri-ring
ring-ring-ring
The end of a static composition that flexibly turns the head in a different direction.
All the notes come together with the high-pitched ad-lib vocals mixed with the tear-jerking arrangements.
And finally, the figures looking at the front with a smile raise their arms.
-The winter is… in!!
the music is over
And on the stage where all action has stopped.
Wow!!!
Applause and cheers pour in without any hesitation. Even screaming cheers.
good job!
Figures in robes adjust their postures, nodded, and smiled.
A dizzying, violent and dark stage.
It was a bit difficult, as if on purpose.
If it was a different stage, there would have been a risk of being criticized for being too experimental by ignoring the popularity.
However, for this keyword, ‘art’
audiences and judges will expect something different.
“hmm.”
Liu Qingyu turned his head slightly and looked directly in front of the audience.
Sure enough, the president twitching the corners of his mouth and slightly raising his thumb is glimpsed here as well.
like it was very good.
‘and.’
It’s fun!
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled and applauded loudly in the end, even though he knew that it was his turn next.
* * *
The stage is over.
“Hoo-wook.”
I took off the hood and held it in my hand.
It was fucking cool.
‘what.’
The feeling of liberation is incredible. Anyone who sees it will know that it has already hit the target.
I folded the hood and sent it to the staff.
‘Passed it.’
I can tell without even looking at the score. It worked. The head, which had been sloppy and sloppy as if it had fallen into a swamp, turned tight like a lie.
‘It’s direct.’
As long as the stage adrenaline works, there is nothing like it.
I brushed my forehead.
“brother!”
At that moment, a guy who took off his paint-stained costume runs up and crosses his arm.
Yoojin Cha.
“Your brother is great. It’s so cool!”
“100 million.”
no wait… Put your arms around this bastard’s neck and give him strength?
This football-playing lunatic is trying to rip my head off. I managed to mend my neck, which was about to break, and managed to get out.
Then a quiet voice was heard.
“Brother, I will tell you in advance.”
what.
“You can use the stage you did with me as you like. Never mind!”
“… !”
And he points at his head and chest alternately with the arm that almost broke my neck earlier.
“Our stage is here. And it’s in reality. Even if you use it in the multiverse, it will not disappear!”
“… … .”
“We cannot forget that. OK?”
If I had heard this a few days ago, I would have understood it with the words ‘So do it right’ and would have clenched my teeth and hammered my head into the wall.
But when I listened to it after clearing my head after it was over… There’s no sound like this.
‘Was it me who was buried?’
I never thought I’d be the first to get a taste of this bizarre situation. I laughed and tapped him on the shoulder.
“okay.”
“That’s it!”
The guy grinned.
“And I use it as I like. Get ready to watch!”
“Oh yes.”
I even changed my clothes as I watched him being taken away for an interview.
And after a while, the guy who came down from his stage started talking to me as soon as he arrived in the waiting room.
Ryu Chung-woo.
