SHE’s debut history
(1) One of the legends - an ordinary girl, singing just for love
Like Zhang Huimei of the Five Lights Award, the new voice card position competition Jolin Tsai and Meiqi Jiang, Jay Chou, the new star, singing competitions are already the best way for record companies to select future shining stars. In order to find the most dazzling newcomers in the new century, Huayan Records specially cooperated with China Television's "TV Grand National" program to organize the "Universe 2000 Powerful Girls Contest" last year, hoping to pass the rigorous test of the "Cruel Stage" unit , to find outstanding new talents with potential both in appearance and singing ability and recruit them.
On August 12, 2000, the day of registration and preliminary competition attracted nearly a thousand spectators to sign up for the competition. Because there were so many applicants, only one-fifth of them were judged from morning to afternoon, and the original judges had to be split into two groups. At 11 o'clock in the evening, the preliminary selection was finally completed, and nearly a thousand contestants were selected. Hundreds participated in the semi-finals. The stage is cruel. After the rematch, only 7 people were shortlisted to participate in the finals. After receiving some simple training, the seven finalists officially entered the studio on August 29 to accept the "cruel stage" test, from which the seeds of the three female groups S.H.E were born.
After the competition, the company brought the seven contestants to the company for auditions. Originally, they only wanted to sign one new person, but because of the outstanding performance of three people, they couldn't give up, and finally decided to sign them together. They are the three members of S.H.E Girlfriend - Ren Jiaxuan, Tian Fuzhen, and Chen Jiahua.
(2) Legend 2 - Choose from thousands of choices, defeat the cruel stage
Ren Jiaxuan is the winner of this competition. She did it unintentionally because she really wanted to participate in the competition. Her younger sister was too young, so she participated on her behalf. In the preliminary round, she caught the attention of the judges with COCO's "BEFORE I FALL IN LOVE". Her steady performance in the semi-finals of "The Most Familiar Stranger" allowed her to easily enter the finals. In the finals, two lights were pressed due to nervousness, so when the judges announced that she was the winner, she was doubtful because one contestant didn't even have a light pressed. Later, the judges said it was because her singing was the most stable. Then I gave her the championship.
Tian Fuzhen, who didn’t know that she was going to compete on TV in the end, was the one with the most success among the three. She had participated in the "Cruel Stage" before and received a bonus of 10,000 yuan because of her excellent performance in the past. After being recommended by the staff to participate, after passing the preliminary round, the song "Go Home" in the semi-finals had a broken sound, so Tian Fuzhen decided to choose a song with a lower range to sing in the finals. However, as she was not familiar with the lyrics, she frequently forgot the words in the finals. , the performance is not perfect. However, when she auditioned for the company, her forthright singing style and personality impressed the company's general manager, and a contract became her first step towards stardom.
Chen Jiahua came from Pingtung with her younger brother to play. Her sister helped her register. When she queued up to sign up for the preliminary round, she almost gave up because there were too many people. Later, she went back to participate in the preliminary round due to her sister's "power" and failed. She thought that she would reach the finals all the way, and in the audition held by the company, she attracted the attention of the company with her special singing voice and distinctive bass, and she stood out.
(3) Legend Three - Cultivate tacit understanding and move into the girls’ dormitory first
After signing three people, at the beginning, the company did not plan to form a girl group because the three Their personal appearance and personality are extremely different, which is very inconsistent with the standards of the group that everyone has recognized in the past. However, it is because Taiwan has never had such a combination of three girls with different personalities but highlighting their specialness. This combination is quite fresh and interesting. , so under the challenging attraction, the record company finally boldly decided to let the three people form a girl group. After the three people learned about it, they were a little repelled at first. They felt that it was different from their imagination. They didn't know that it would be like this when they signed the contract.
They come from different places and can be described as having nothing to say at first. They never called each other when they were singing together, and they only said hello lightly when they met. More than half of the songs in the album are The song is not a chorus, so the relationship between them is not harmonious, so the record company has to start to worry. So the company decided to help the three of them find a dormitory, and the three of them were required to live in the same room. When they heard that they were going to live in the same room, the three of them were a little repelled. They felt that their living habits were too different and they might quarrel. However, the company I hope that this arrangement can help them get to know each other better and increase their unity, so they are arranged to live in a dormitory with only one room. Just to avoid quarrels, the record company still ordered dozens of records. The covenants of life require them to abide by.
After a week of staying together, the staff found that such worries were unnecessary, because the three of them already had the feeling of being one body, and the original rejection of forming a girls' group had long since disappeared, and even more I learned dozens of advantages of a girl group, such as not being afraid of being left alone if no one talks, being reminded when I make mistakes, not being bored without a partner...etc., they were even mistaken for twins when they went out!
In this way, the three girls lived together in the not-so-large girls' dormitory for several months, sharing happiness and sadness together, and also catching each other's boredom and colds. Sometimes some people would get sick because of homesickness. Crying under the quilt, sometimes the three of us are bored, so we open all the windows, eat snacks and watch the stars...
(4) Legend 4 - Passing the test, weeping at the celebration banquet
The long selection and long training courses are extremely hard but satisfying for the three girls of S.H.E. Sometimes they miss home, and sometimes they want to give up. However, on September 10 this year, One day, we saw the new group S.H.E. They appeared in a record market with great energy and said hello to everyone. At that time, although some people questioned: "How can such a group promote such a boom?" But as we can see, S.H.E is welcomed by everyone. Judging from the rising rankings and the sold-out autograph sessions, S.H.E already has a group of die-hard fans and a large number of supporters.
