How to become an ACE of a top boy group

The two arrived at the meeting room where they were to discuss their stage performance music, as scheduled.

Looking through the frosted glass, three teachers were already sitting at the gray rectangular table. Luo Xi and Lu Yun quickly walked in and greeted the teachers.

Luo Xi had heard Lu Yun mention this when they were moving things yesterday afternoon.

The choreographers responsible for the final stage song of "My Favorite Treasure 101" were Lunaki, AMM, and He Re.

There are three composers: Hua Ni, Mingo, and FK9.

There were two lyricists, Xu Xu and Sha Yu.

They either work full-time at Moji Entertainment or have long-term collaborations with Moji Entertainment, and each of them possesses very mature creative abilities and a distinctive creative style.

For example, AMM teacher often takes on choreography work for girl groups. Her choreography focuses on details and highlights the expression of body movements. Lunaki, as the exclusive choreographer of Moji Company, is now in charge of the choreography of Moji's first-tier boy group. Therefore, her choreography style is stronger and the framework is larger. He Re is the dance teaching director who is specifically responsible for the dance of Moji's trainees. The choreography will be adjusted and adapted according to the trainees' abilities, and will make more use of basic movements.

As for the composers, Hua Ni is a composer who writes songs specifically for the Mexican-Japanese boy band One Origin. Most of One Origin's songs, from their early days to their current success, were written by Hua Ni, and he is also known by fans as the soul of the original songs.

Mingo is primarily responsible for the girl group songs of the Mexican-Japanese girl group Glame Hanahitsu, whose style leans towards a dreamy feel. The song "Want" by Glame Hanahitsu, which was a minor hit a year ago, was composed by this composer.

FK9 are up-and-coming composers discovered by Mexico and Japan this year. They were responsible for writing songs for New Time, the new boy group launched by Mexico and Japan after One Origin. They have had many hit songs, but it is said that due to improper marketing, the new group's popularity did not keep up with the rise, and the final results were mediocre.

Xu Xu and Sha Yu, the two lyricists, have been responsible for writing, creating and polishing lyrics for many of the Mo Ri Tuan songs, and each has their own strengths.

Lu Yun also said at the time that if they were lucky enough to get Lunaki, Hua Ni, and Xu Xu to collaborate on a dance song, they would definitely be able to produce the best and most amazing work among the twelve songs.

Although Rosie didn't agree, she believed that what's suitable is the best.

Now, as they sit at the conference table, the songwriters of the two's dance performance are finally revealed: it was Mingo, He Re, and Xu Xu who produced the demo and choreographed the dance for Luo Xi and his accomplices.

Lu Yun didn't show the slightest regret, and greeted each teacher with great enthusiasm, "Hello teachers! Teacher He Re, it's great to see you again! Teacher Mingo, I've always loved your work, and Teacher Xu Xu, our team is amazing! We're sure to produce a blockbuster!"

So Lu Yun can produce amazing works from anyone.

Luo Xi laughed along, "Hello teachers, sorry we're late!"

Because each group had to discuss, and there were only a few teachers, each of the 12 groups of trainees had a limited discussion time of only one hour. Lu Yun was delayed while changing clothes, so Luo Xi and the others arrived a little late.

"It's okay, it's not too late, now is the perfect time to start," He Re said with a smile.

“Let’s get straight to the point. Listen to the demo first,” Mingo said, starting to play the song. “We’ve already completed the main framework. Please give us your feedback after listening.”

The arrangement uses several dreamy electronic sound effects, crisp drumbeats, and a stunningly exotic flute sound, paired with a strongly repetitive, nostalgic piano melody, highlighting a retro dream core sound. The flute sound goes from soft to loud, combined with the mysterious and sacred electronic sound effects. The first half is dreamy, while the second half emphasizes the provocative flute sound, truly a music that blends innocence and sensuality.

The demo was sung by a female voice.

"Who is it, where is it? Hidden in my heart? Its voice keeps beating."

Even though I can't see you, I feel you pulling me along like a magic thread.

"I can't help but dance with your fragrance..."

The female voice is beautiful and ethereal, making the arrangement and performance of the song even more dreamlike.

"Great!" Rosie clapped. "Yeah, it would be even better if you could highlight the memorable parts a bit more."

"I'm a little worried about whether I can really sing it," Lu Yun said, frowning. "Is the note a bit too high?"

Mingo then said, "So now is the time to ask for your opinions. Highlight the key points, lower the pitch, and we will make changes accordingly if you agree."

"Sister, how many songs did you write in total?" Lu Yun started chatting casually.

"There are four songs, from 6 to 9. If you want to listen to them, they are all available on your learning tablets. I will give you all the songs later. Because these twelve songs are a whole, listening to them from beginning to end should help you understand the overall concept and the meaning of each part."

"Don't use any transfer or send functions, or the tablet will be locked," Mingo warned.

Lu Yun became interested: "It's said that this tablet has a reverse lookup function. If someone tries to send it out, it will trigger and directly look up that person's address. Is that true? Is it to prevent leaks?"

"Probably. Actually, I'm not too sure, but the production team has taken a lot of measures to keep it confidential. You see, you've signed a lot of agreements, and we've signed even more."

"What did you sign, sis? Is it different from ours?"

"Hey, now's not the time to chat!" Luo Xi clapped his hands together in front of Lu Yun's face, making him realize that time was running out.

"Well, I've gone off on a tangent. Please continue, teacher."

After listening to the arrangement, Xu Xu began to explain his creative intentions, "These 24 songs were written entirely for you, but I used some more figurative language. It's roughly about a young man who works hard to achieve his dream, but without much success. When he learns that this place can fulfill his dream, he comes to this manor where dreams can be realized. He keeps striving, but then he encounters a demon? Something like a demon. His own desires, because he's too lonely and unknown, can't resist the temptation and his own longing. So, in the end, he's cursed and keeps sinking into this dream... That's roughly the background."

"Our sixth song is about the story of a young man dancing with desire."

"Then, Lu Yun, you represent that boy, and Luo Xi, you represent that boy's desires."

"So I'm the sexy style, while Lu Yun is the innocent style, like... the kind of feeling of being naive and unaware of the ways of the world, right?" Luo Xi suddenly dug this word out of her mind.

"Oh, so it's not like 'I hate it~'."

“Definitely not!” Luo Xi said accusingly.

"Ugh~" Lu Yun suddenly made that affected gesture at Luo Xi again. Luo Xi couldn't stand it and laughed while supporting herself on Lu Yun's shoulder. Lu Yun pointed at her smiling face and said, "You're smiling so happily, you still like her, right?"

"Haha, you two get along really well."

That's what the teachers said.
