At this moment, listening to the new song "11 Heartbeats" of Rocket Girl 101, I thought that from May 23rd, Rocket Girl 101 officially launched the 730 hours before the dissolution, that is, the countdown time of the last month, I couldn't help but sigh: Time, really like a rocket, is too fast!
I vividly remember the summer when I started my first heartbeat for them.
2018's "Creation 101" is a national phenomenon-level music variety show that attracted countless people to wave the flag for girls after the super girl in 2005, and after three months of intense competition, 11 members with strong stylistic traits finally stood out of 101 girls.
Meng Meiqi, "Singing and Dancing", Wu Xuanyi, "Sweet Yuanqi", Yang Chaoyue, "Close to the People", Duan Aojuan, "Angel Voice", "Rap Director" Yamy, "Petite Contrast" Lai Meiyun, "All-round Quality" Zhang Zining, "Handsome" Yang Yunqing, "Powerful Singing" Li Ziting, "Atmospheric Mysterious" Fu Jing, "Cute Smile" Xu Mengjie, constitute Rocket Girl 101.
"Start the first heartbeat, pick me up and call my name, the more you love, the more cute I am", "Until the second heartbeat, the brave girl you love, sure it's me, rocket girl!" Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi nodded and sang "11 Heartbeats", in an instant, restored the fiery atmosphere of that summer, and the scenes during the competition were still vividly remembered, and in the blink of an eye, the girls had begun to commemorate in the song.
However, "11 Heartbeats" is not sad, as the first wave of warm-up works of the new album "Meet Bye", "11 Heartbeats" in the playful electric rhythm, with 11 girls full of their own vocal characteristics singing, between "them" and "we", from the meeting to the mood of goodbye, has been vividly expressed, expressing the excitement, surprise and gratitude of the dreams that have come true in the past two years. The arrangement adds saxophone, outlining a relaxed and evocative atmosphere, as if to tell the audience: it is a pleasure to meet you, in the future, but also to pay more attention to, cheer together!
Starting from the night of the group on June 24, 2018, Rocket Girl began the journey with the goal of "China's first girl group": 3 top 10,000 concerts, 4 meetings and 1 premiere concert in the country. In August 2018, the first official ep "Collision" was launched, including 4 songs of "Collision", "Light", "Born to Win", and "Moon Police", with sales reaching 22 million, becoming qq music's first digital album of 2018 [Palace Golden Diamond Records], and in June 2019, the full anniversary album "Li Feng" was launched, including 13 songs including the full chorus "Wind", "Miss Sa", and the personal works of each member, and the annual album "Li Feng" and the pilot EP sales were nearly 30 million, It has become the top ten Chinese albums on the 2019 qq music peak chart, and the total sales of music works since the formation of the group have exceeded 50 million...
Singing the theme song "Calories" for the popular movie "The Richest Man in Xihong" became the milestone of Rocket Girl 101 "Breaking the Circle" - this "Magic Square Dance Divine Comedy" that many people may initially feel surprised and incomprehensible, quickly occupied major video and music platforms, sang all over the streets and alleys, and became the hottest song in 2018. "Burn my calories", "Get up every day first, first give yourself a breath", have become popular network golden sentences, in the short video platform has become countless netizens tireless bgm material...
I remember when this song was first released, many people were dumbfounded, including some media people and music critics around me, who would say, "Is there any mistake, didn't you say that you want to be the strongest girl group in China?" How did it suddenly become the strongest square dancer group in China? But as a functional song, "Calories" makes an excellent interpretation of the theme of the movie, and also makes people find out under the circumstances: for the musical style of Rocket Girl 101, you can have more imagination - for "Rocket Girl 101", what kind of balance should we need to be entertaining and musical?
In fact, it is not necessary to define the current Rocket Girl 101 in the style of Europe, america, Japan and South Korea, and even the top Chinese girl groups in the past, they can use a fresher, more grounded and more diversified way to provide an inclusive "national girl group" possibility for the Chinese music scene.
In the past two years, Rocket Girl 101, who has worked hard in the entertainment industry with the goal of China's first girl group, has honed a better tacit understanding and handed over various styles of musical works, Wu Qingfeng's "light" made me feel the girls' infectious harmony for the first time, "Moon Police" sang the observation and irony of social phenomena in the retro trend, "Wind" on the first anniversary of the group, expressing the girls' mood of working hard step by step on the road of pursuing their dreams, "Miss Sa" conveys the independence, self-confidence, and young people's independence, self-confidence, Free-spirited personality attitude...
In addition to the record songs, Rocket Girl 101 also used nearly 30 film and television, advertising, variety shows, and event songs to prove their commercial value and diversified "adaptation" ability: Hollywood blockbuster "Venom: Deadly Guardians" China promotional song "Venom Comes", "Crazy Alien" promotional theme song "Galaxy Disco", "Basketball Big Record" variety theme song "Honor Planet"... The music that needs to reflect "vitality" and "happiness" is the first time to find them to interpret, and the public welfare song "A Little Light" and the original patriotic song of Xinhua News Agency "Infinity" reflect the social influence of Rocket Girl 101 as a representative of positive energy of sunshine.
"From strange to warm, become special to each other, I cheer for you, you love me undiminished", in the song of "11 Heartbeats", we heard 11 girls "poofing heartbeats", the final group album "Meet Bye", just like the time they and we witnessed together along the way, staged a real movie with the theme of youth, dreams and love, the last group album to be met, like the ost of this movie, each of which has a theme song, interlude, ending song, All represent a different period of time, but we witnessed the journey of the heart together, from childish to strong, from youth to bravery, I believe that we will once again recall in the song of Rocket Girl 101, and the starting point they met, but at the end of the song, everything will not be the end, but our new expectations for 11 girls -
Meng Meiqi will become a leading female singer in the Chinese music scene,
Wu Xuanyi will highlight more rich personality in addition to "sweet",
Yang Chaoyue will definitely bring more than the strength of the idol aura,
Will Duan Aojuan's natural good voice get more play,
Yamy will stick to the domineering spirit of the female rapper to the end,
Will the contrasting charm of Lai Meiyun's Lolita's appearance and royal sister's voice continue to amplify,
Zining's all-round charm is worth further exploration,
Sunnee's mid-bass tone is further developed
Li Ziting's profound singing skills will challenge more styles,
Fu Jing's fashion charm will become a representative of scarcity,
The dance skills behind Xu Mengjie's cuteness deserve attention...
They will use their unchanging love to bring more works with their own style...
So, let's look forward to seeing each other again!
Goodbye, a new beginning again.
