Entertaining Children

  Chapter 202 Primary Selection

  Eliza Pritz was successfully attracted by Duran Wako to this band. Under Duran Waco's introduction, Eliza Pritz easily searched the Internet for the video of the band IMMORTALS performing on the school anniversary. The song performed by the band in the video is the theme song from the movie "TeenageVigilantes". The video was uploaded more than half a month before the movie was released. Before the band began to perform in the video, Dean’s speech clearly confirmed what Duran Waco said that the creator of this song was their student band.

  For such an attractive news point, Eliza Pritz, as a senior reporter, will naturally not let it go.

  After a few days of data collection, a report introducing the creators of the theme song "TeenageVigilantes" published by Eliza Pritz was published in the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Express". In order to cooperate with this report, Eliza Pritz also reposted the online video of IMMORTALS performing on the school day on her personal social media platform.

  In order to cooperate with Eliza Pritz’s report, the official website of "TeenageVigilantes" also showed some introduction to the theme song creation band. It not only reproduced and confirmed the report of Eliza Pritz in the Los Angeles Express, but also posted a video of the band performing on the school day. However, unlike the video shot and uploaded by the students on the scene reproduced on Eliza Pritz’s personal social platform, the video on the official website of the film is a version taken by Betty Belet.

  The “Los Angeles Express” and the official movie website revealed this quite eye-catching news. Other entertainment gossip media will naturally not sit idly by, and have started to follow up and reprint the news.

After the premiere of   , movies with good reviews officially entered the stage of sprinting the box office, and the theme song turned out to be the work of a middle school student band. This report once appeared, it spurred the movie box office again. A middle school student band’s song was selected as the theme song by a commercial movie? What kind of song is that? This is an excellent reason for people who are curious in their hearts to buy tickets and enter the theater.

  Although there are videos of bands performing on the school day on the Internet, these videos were taken by the live audience with their mobile phones. Both the sound effects and the pictures are very rough. I heard that the evaluation of this movie itself is also very good? Then it is a good choice to watch this movie in the theater and listen to the official version of the song created by this student band by the way.

   "The movie is very interesting and the theme song is also great. It is hard to imagine that this is a work created by a middle school student band."

"The plot of the movie is a bit old-fashioned, but there are many highlights in the details. The weird equipment is so cool. The feelings between the players in the film are handled very well, the theme song and the plot match well, and the lyrics remind me of myself Friends, I will be the guard dog of your fanatical dream...Cool!"

  “Sometimes the only reward for having faith is in the process of being tested again and again. This movie and this song have made me feel it.”

"I try to imagine a scene where I don’t have you, but I can’t do it. Ha, I’m going to use this lyrics to confess to my girlfriend. Well, I decided to take her to watch this movie first, and then sing this sentence to She listened."

  As the movie’s release date increases day by day, there are more comments from ordinary netizens on the Internet. Affected by media reports, people who are attracted to the theater by the term "middle school student band" or not have paid extra attention to the theme song in the movie. In the comments made by the audience after watching the movie, in addition to their comments on the movie, there were also many comments on the theme song by the way, and some viewers even posted special comments on the theme song. Some sentences in the lyrics have also begun to become popular among young people.

  So, as the box office of this movie goes up all the way, the theme song created by this student band is the same as this movie. It became popular at this time in December, at the end of the year.

  Keith Craig, who took a tablet at his home and watched online reviews, smiled and said to his wife: “Let the band of Young be our warm-up guest for free. I really made a lot of money this time.”

"Isn't this situation exactly what you all expected before?" Betty also smiled, "Ron told me a few days ago that the band that Yang and theirs has not been interviewed by any media, even their introduction The interview with Eliza Pritz of the Los Angeles Express was rejected. Young said that their first appearance in public will only be at your "daydreaming" concert."

"There is still such a thing? No wonder there are so many media applications for live coverage of this Los Angeles concert. I originally guessed that it might be because of Yang’s band joining, but I didn’t expect it to be. Their first appearance in public." Keith said unexpectedly, "Then let's release the news. The remaining tickets for the Los Angeles concert should be sold out soon, right? "

   "Of course, Young hopes so." Betty nodded.

  The time came to mid-December, and there was only less than a week left before the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert. The IMMORTALS band naturally stepped up rehearsals, preparing for their public debut.

  At the same time, Xiao Yao did not completely let go of the hip-hop team.

  After more than half a month of practice, the street dance team has practiced that dance very well. During the half-month rehearsal process, as Xiao Yao deepened his understanding of the dance team members and learned more about their skills, many movements in the dance were modified. Some were proposed by Xiao Yao, and some were proposed by the team members themselves. After the modification, the effect of the dance has been further improved.

  The dance is not exactly the same as before, so naturally the soundtrack has been modified accordingly. In addition to making some changes to the melody and rhythm to match the revised dance moves, Xiao Yao also added a lot of special sound effects to the soundtrack. For example, in the third group dance of fighting with zombies, Xiao Yao added several guns. And the sound of firing, combined with the gestures of the team members raising their guns and the gestures of the zombies shaking and falling, made the entire dance more expressive.

  The main event of the "National Street Dance Contest" is at the beginning of next year. But the primaries started in mid-December at the end of the year. Therefore, before being a warm-up guest for "Daydream", Xiao Yao had to accompany the members of the street dance team to Los Angeles to participate in the preliminary selection of the "National Street Dance Competition".

  The primary location is in a theater called "Augs" in Los Angeles. After everyone arrives at the theater, they first register in front of the workbench, and after getting their own serial number, they can enter the auditorium in the theater and wait for the beginning of the primary election.

There are eight zombies in the dance, but they are not yet personal enough to directly sway the market in the image of zombies. Therefore, after entering the theater, they hid in the corner of the audience, and Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi started to give the eight zombies. Put on makeup.

  Since Samien and other band members did not come together, this time the makeup artists were only Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi, so it took longer to make up. Although they are hiding in the corner, they will inevitably be found after a long time.

"Look, there are still makeup on site. What are they doing? Is it a clown? Do you dance a clown dance?" Several other participating dance teams who were also waiting in the auditorium saw Xiao Yao and his side. , Said with a small smile.

   "What's so good about a team of girls who have to put on makeup before they come on stage? Didn't they all hide in the corner consciously?" Some people said with disdain.

  At two o'clock in the afternoon, there were already more than a dozen teams waiting in the theater, and they will compete for two places to participate in the race.

  "National Street Dance Competition" has set up primary sites in eight cities across the United States. Each primary site will select the two best performing teams, and a total of sixteen teams will enter the race.

  As the three judges stepped into the theater, they sat on the judging platform set up directly opposite the stage, and the primary selection officially began.

"Welcome everyone here. The "National Street Dance Contest" Los Angeles qualifiers are now officially starting. Good luck to everyone." A senior silver-haired program producer and one of the main judges of this competition, Piper Hugo. The microphone on the starting stage turned to face the contestants in the theater auditorium and announced aloud, before turning around and sitting down again, shouting: "Please come on stage for the first team."

  The first dance team to take the stage was a team composed entirely of black male youths. The team was full of masculinity, wearing baseball caps, wide pants, and typical street dancers.

  Since the captain introduced the name of the team and where it came from, Piper Hugo waved: "Are you ready? Music, let's play!"

  With the sound of strong music from the speakers in the theater, the team on the stage also began their dance. It was mainly a combination of break dance, lock dance and shuffle dance. Some of the difficult floor rotation movements caused bursts of cheers and whistles from other viewing teams in the theater.

   "OK, stop!" Piper Hugo did not let the team on stage perform the entire dance. Because he felt that he had seen everything this team wanted to show them.

   "What do you think?" Piper Hugo asked the other two judges beside him.

Piper Hugo is the producer of this TV competition. He has been judging for four years. Xiao Yao has known him from previous competition videos, but the two next to him are this year’s new judging. Xiao Yao, who is not very familiar in the entertainment industry, didn’t know it. After TJ’s popular science, he knew that the black woman was the famous American hip-hop singer Mary Jane, and the brown-skinned curly-haired man was a famous choreographer in the industry. , Santos Perez with Latin descent.

   "Very good." Both of them nodded with a smile.

   "Very man, very imposing, masculine is coming." Mary Jane commented with a smile.

   "The action is in place, and the technical difficulty is enough." Santos Perez also said.

   "OK, you have entered our waiting list, please go back to the audience and wait." Piper Hugo said to the team on stage.

   "Thank you." The team on the stage was happy, and walked down excitedly after thanking them.

According to the usual rules of the preliminary selection of this competition, the team that is not satisfied with the judges will directly tell you that they have been eliminated, and most of the teams that perform well are pending. After all participating teams have performed, the judges will then select from the pending teams. Out of the best two teams, only a very small number of teams will be directly announced for promotion. Now that they are on the waiting list, they have the hope of finally entering the race.
