Chapter 2.2: MSG Factory Daughter


 

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows: "What was the inspiration for creation?"

 

    "Couples quarreling, suppressing their anger, no matter what the other party says it's always incorrect, their words are filled with resentment, so the title of the song was called "Dui". " 

 

    There was a burst of laughter at the scene. The title of this song...is too appropriate for the content. Thinking about all the lyrics, they are indeed one side begging for forgiveness, while the other side is frantically looking for faults. The lyrics actually fit the two characters very well, no wonder it's like watching a musical after listening to it.

 

    However, Xiao Jin couldn't laugh or cry at this moment⁽¹⁾, and felt that he was also "hated".

 

    "Have you learned to compose? Your lyrics by themselves are very good, but there are too many styles..."

 

    "Teacher!" Shen Qi raised her hand unexpectedly, "Teacher, this song is my series, but the lyrics aren’t mine. It can't be considered a professional piece, so I hope that the teacher will only consider our voice conditions, musicality, and performance."

    Shen Qi said this, and Shen Yuan was also stunned and couldn't help but push her.

 

    "My Qi (Shen Qi’s nickname), what are you doing…you obviously produced this." What did she mean by hearing this in the past, she (referring to Shen Yuan) hasn’t heard this song before.

 

    Shen Qi shook her head to her, but her attitude remained the same: "Teacher, because I grew up in a special environment, I have come into contact with a lot of flavors. It is just fun for me to mix them. If I call it my work on the stage of "Strength of New Idol", that is plagiarism, and I can’t do that.” 

 

    When it comes to “plagiarism”, the atmosphere on the stage suddenly becomes serious.

 

    "Your attitude makes me agree that plagiarism is indeed wrong." Xiao Jin nodded solemnly, and then asked: "Mind if I ask about your family situation? Are your parent's professionals?"

 

    Because of Shen Qi saying that she encounters different kinds of music, Xiao Jin thought that Shen Qi came from a family of artists.

 

    Unexpectedly, the girl said frankly: "No, my family owns an MSG factory." 

    

There was a second of silence.

 

    ...What factory?

 

    "MSG, Miracle Brand MSG."

 

    In the live broadcast room, the barrage⁽²⁾ has reached its peak since the live broadcast of the program, and the screen is almost covered, and the densely populated ones are filled with "hahahahahahahahaha it is so lively."

 

    "An upright daughter of an MSG factory, no wonder the growing environment is exposed to different flavors!"

(If you see this it means this translation was stolen from https://honeystranslations.blogspot.com/)

    "Hahahaha different flavors, nothing wrong with that, MSG factory hahahahahaha! So if you get eliminated, you have to go home and become the factory manager, right? What a miserable girl!"

 

    "Magical MSG, ma ye⁽³⁾, my family has used this brand before, but I don’t know why it was off the shelves in the supermarket. I think it tasted good, and the cooked dishes are very fresh..."

 

    Producer Instructor Xiao Jin felt as if he had met a chat master, counteracting all the words to the point that he had nothing to say.

 

    Xie Kai couldn't help but curiously asked: "Then why do you want to join a girl group because you like singing and dancing, like music?"

 

    Shen Qi shook her head, showing a sad expression: "Neither, MSG factory can't pay workers wages anymore, we’re going bankrupt soon, I have to make money to support my family. "

 

    Puff!

 

    The barrage in the live broadcast room became heated again.

 

    "It's a sad story, but why do I want to laugh so much..."

 

    "The factory manager's daughter had to become an idol in order to make up for the salaries of the employees. Oh my god, this is an entertainment industry chicken soup⁽⁴⁾ that I have never heard of!"

(If you see this it means this translation was stolen from https://honeystranslations.blogspot.com/)

    "What a responsible boss ah, the daughter of the factory director is so positive hahahaha..."

 

    Xie Kai resisted the twitching of the corners of his mouth. Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was about to get out of control, he quickly changed the subject: "Well, as everyone knows we are in a competition, since you think the work you just performed isn’t considered a professional piece. So, why did you still want to perform it?” 

 

    As soon as this question came up, the scene calmed down again. In the eyes of the competitors in the audience, Xie Kai’s question was sharp and provocative, this question accused the two of them of putting on a show⁽⁵⁾. The other trainees were already breaking into a sweat with fright for the two girls on stage. 

 

    Shen Qi still did not panic, "We chose this song because we had no other choice, our originally prepared work, and Su Jing player collided, we did not consider ourselves her rival, so I chose to change the program, uh, foster strengths and avoid weakness?”

 

    The sudden CUE Su Jing was taken aback, and then her expression was complicated. She had just picked up the first A, but she never thought that this performance was actually related to herself. She just felt that the other party was trying to please the public with nonsense, but Shen Qi's frank admission of defeat made her change some of her judgment.

(If you see this it means this translation was stolen from https://honeystranslations.blogspot.com/)

    In fact, they are right. The two of them are not weak in singing and dancing, but compared with the first A Su Jing, one has no special characteristics, and the other is not professional enough. According to the original plan, singing "Acacia Terrace" will undoubtedly be crushed by her.

 

    However, it is not easy to dare to take an unconventional gamble on such a stage.

 

    "So you guys at the last moment changed the song?" Xie Kai asked.

 

    The two girls nodded obediently, turning into two innocent cuties again as if they weren't responsible for the weird behavior just now.

 

    The more Xie Kai looked, the more he found out that this group might be the most interesting group today. It was funny at first, then frank, coupled with the weird but powerful artistic performance, it seems that this period will not be cut when it is officially aired. They have successfully left an impression on both the instructor and the trainees.

 

    Especially the one on the left... the daughter of an MSG factory? Although there was choppy behavior, Xie Kai could feel it—she was not afraid, and of course, she did not lie. This stage seemed to her to be a common place.

 

    Perhaps she had received performance training since childhood? It's not impossible, the family should be in good condition before the factory went bankrupt?

 

    "Okay, we understand." Xie Kai looked at the judges on both sides. "What else do the judges have to say?"

 

    Producer mentor Xiao Jin still felt a bit regretful: "Although you said that these songs were not created by you, but I still want to ask, Shen Qi player, since you can master the music of so many people, have you ever created your own work?"

 

    Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "Not too mature, is that okay?"

 

    She, who has always been referred to as calm sister, seldom showed a little bit of helplessness, but it made the mentors look forward to it. And Shen Yuan seemed to think of something, and silently said "cheer on" to her, then took a step back and left the stage to her partner.

 

    Shen Qi took a guitar from backstage, sat down, and slowly began to sing her own song.

 

    The current music is pouring down like moonlight and flowing water, and the girl reveals her original tone, natural and unadorned...

(If you see this it means this translation was stolen from https://honeystranslations.blogspot.com/)

    I wrote a love letter in the dusk to,

 

    commemorate the end of your story and I,

 

    to write three lines silently, conveying all my feelings,

 

    but signed with no name….

 

    I wrote a love letter in the Twilight,

 

    cut a stamp from Higurashi to fill it,

 

    left a blank address for mailing,

 

    so no one would reply.

 

    so that I can pretend that

 

    I have not been let down.

 

    In the evening three days later, the "Strength of New Idol" program was finally broadcast on the Ibis Factory network platform. After the first episode of the program was broadcast, a little-known class F student became popular and reached the top ten with the help of passersby(s). At the same time, on Weibo, a hot search quickly climbed to the home page of the day——
