Entering Live Stage 1 of "Tinh Ha Say Hi", the teams not only competed with their voices or performance ability but also directly participated in production of performances, from music development, concept building, storyboard to stage setting. The scale of investment and the proactiveness of the artists made MC Tran Thanh repeatedly express surprise and appreciate the serious professional spirit of the 24 brothers.
Among the teams competing, Team WEAN brought the song "Lonely, I'm Also Happy" with an emotional approach. Instead of telling a normal love story, WEAN chose to exploit the lonely slices of each member to create a unified emotional picture.
According to the male rapper's sharing, each member of the team represents a different type of loneliness. Xuan Dinh KY is the precariousness of young people pursuing dreams in a foreign land. DILLAN brings a feeling of material sufficiency but lacks family warmth. KIMLONG contains injuries in both his career and love life, while WEAN tells about himself - a person who once felt different and experienced injuries from bullying. True stories become the material for the team to build the performance.
The preparation process was also not easy. Xuan Dinh KY once burst into tears because of the pressure before the performance, while DILLAN admitted that ballad is not their forte and worried that they are the weakest link of the team. The encouragement from the members helped the whole group gradually regain their spirit to complete the performance.
For the first time holding the role of captain, WEAN also faced a lot of pressure when having to harmonize ideas, lead teammates and complete a stage with its own mark. After witnessing that journey, MC Tran Thanh gave a short but meaningful comment: "Say it, do it.
The compliment from Tran Thanh made WEAN unable to hide his emotion. The male rapper revealed that he had been waiting for MC Tran Thanh to recognize him for a long time. For WEAN, the saying "Say it, do it" is not only an encouragement but also recognition for his efforts as captain in his first time leading a team at "Tinh Ha say hi".
Not only Team WEAN, Tran Thanh has also recorded the investment of the competing teams many times. Right from the opening part, he assessed that the Anh Trai have spent a lot of time, effort and even money to build each stage. When witnessing Team buitruonglinh investing in a large-scale filming set and disco concept, the male MC humorously commented: "This year, the Anh Trai have nothing but conditions".
Besides elaborate stages such as "Xoay vòng", "50 cuộc gọi nhỡ", "Dancin' My Way", "Im đợi người anh thương (IDNAT)", "Cô đơn anh cũng vui" or "Bad Night", Live Stage 1 also shows the increasingly clear self-producing ability of young artists. From composing, mixing to building images, many older brothers take on roles that originally belonged to professional creative teams for the first time.
