Chapter 70: Drift to the North
After pushing the door open, Zheng Qian found more than a dozen pairs of eyes looking at him in unison.
In addition to the three audition examiners, there are also some staff members and photographers, who are sitting in the back, talking to each other and discussing something.
On the stage, in addition to an upright microphone, there is also a hanging microphone on top to help players of different styles play freely.
There are three cameras on the left, front and right, recording the whole audition process.
After Zheng Qian glanced at it, he stood directly on the stage, picked up the microphone and said: "Hello teachers, I'm Zheng Qian, No. 0207561, and the song I want to sing is "365 Days of Loving You"!"
This song is the opening song written for the crew of "Baolian Lantern", and it is also a million-selling famous song, which was popular all over the country in the previous life, and at this time, it coincided with the audition, Zheng Qian had no time to think of a new song, and this song was indeed of high quality, so it was used for the audition for a second time.
The examiner Bao Zhimin looked down at Zheng Qian's information and said, "It's original again?" The last one who sang the original has been scolded by me, what kind of messy kindergarten level is it, young man, are you sure you don't want to change the song?"
Zheng Qian was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm sure." β
The examiner next to him said with a smile at this time: "Zhimin, Zheng Qian is famous in our capital, he has just won the championship of the "Singer" program, his strength is strong, and his original strength is also very good, Wei Yehong and Chen Meiling are full of praise......"
Bao Zhimin did not speak.
She just put down the information, clasped her hands, and looked at Zheng Qian quietly: "Since you have made up your mind, let's start!"
Since it was a cappella singing without accompaniment, for the sake of effect, Zheng Qian decided to sing the chorus directly at the beginning.
So he was angry and dantian, using the way of head cavity resonance.
The next moment, the treble paused.
"In ~~ three hundred and sixty-five days of thinking about you
Listen to ~~ your favorite song with me
Tears ~~ always accidentally gushing
Smiling face
Suddenly I feel like you're not going farβ"
Zheng Qian's treble is not strong, and his lung capacity can be called the level of iron lungs, and the sound of ventilation can hardly be heard when this chorus is sung, thanks to Zheng Qian's magical lame, as well as his own stable control of the treble.
The eyes of everyone at the scene lit up.
But before he finished singing, he heard a "ding", and there was an uproar in the audience.
Everyone looked up.
I saw the examiner Bao Zhimin ring the stop bell, and then looked at Zheng Qian coldly, and said sarcastically: "What else do you sing besides the high note?"
Zheng Qian looked at her strangely, and faintly felt a hint of something wrong in his heart, buddy, is this twenty-year-old driver going to overturn here?
But he replied anyway: "Basically, everything but bass." β
"Alright, you have a rap. Bao Zhimin said casually.
At this time, the other examiners were stunned, knowing that Bao Zhimin had a bad temper, but he didn't expect his temper to be so bad!
The performance of the first few contestants is unsatisfactory, you just stop, this Zheng Qian's timbre is so loud and calm, his voice is unique, or does he bring his own original works, this kind of advantage is ignored, let people sing Rap?
Both examiners had a sense of absurdity.
One of them said: "I don't think it's necessary, right? Rap is too niche, Zheng Qian's timbre is suitable for singing love songs......"
Another person also had some whispers: "Yes, and he is the champion of "Singer" and one of the top ten popular contestants in the Beijing Division, if he can't even pass the audition, it will be too much, right?"
Bao Zhimin said: "No matter how you decide, in my place, he is a poor student who is seriously biased......
"Teachers don't have to argue, I'll have a rap!"
Seeing that the examiner was arguing, Zheng Qian lowered his head and thought for a while before he spoke: "This song is called "Drifting to the North". β
He took a deep breath, put the microphone back on the stand, and started tuning.
The next moment, the Chinese characters like a blast gun blurted out, and the words were sonorous.
"Some people say that he owes a bunch of money in his hometown and needs to take refuge
Some people say that he has practiced martial arts, but he has no chance to show it
Someone has lost themselves and is at a loss to drift around
Some people are for their dreams, for three meals to support their families
He lives in a dilapidated job-seeking apartment on the outskirts of Yan
The crowded building is full of strangers from other places
He buried his head in writing his resume, and how much longing he had
Going back and forth on Highway 930, I hope for a miracle in my heart......"
There are multiple versions of "Drifting to the North", and Zheng Qian likes the rap of this original song the most, because the sense of rhythm is stronger and the sense of substitution is more.
This song reached more than 100 million views in just over 100 days on foreign YouTube in the previous life, and it is also the only Chinese song with more than 100 million playbacks on the Internet, which can be called popular all over Southeast Asia, which is enough to prove the excellence of this song.
Not all raps are raps, especially in China, because Mandarin only has four tones, which is much less than other languages such as Cantonese, so the creative space of rappers is even narrower, and they can sing out embarrassment and loneliness if they are not careful.
But the rap of "Drifting to the North" broke through this embarrassment, so that Zheng Qian, who doesn't like Rap very much, couldn't help but memorize the lengthy lyrics of this song, and then practiced wildly in KTV.
Although there is no accompaniment at this time, Zheng Qian's rap still speaks clearly.
And the control of the rhythm makes people feel numb on the scalp, and everyone present is stunned.
Bao Zhimin, who had a lot of complaints about Zheng Qian just now, was already stunned at this time, seeing Zheng Qian's lips moving up and down, and every word was like a small steel cannon, Bao Zhimin only felt that his heart was shocked.
She remembered what she looked like ten years ago, wasn't it as described in the lyrics?
owed a lot of debts in his hometown, ran to the big city to avoid the limelight, obviously his singing skills were good, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it, and was later told that if he wanted to be on the stage, he had to sacrifice something......
That year, she ran around for three meals a day, filling out various job search resumes in the talent market......
She still vividly remembers that day when it rained heavily, she curled up on a chair at the bus stop after spending the last dollar, hugging her head and crying alone......
"I drift north, don't ask my hometown
The towering ancient walls can't stop the sorrow
I drifted north, and my family was okay or not
The heavy bag on his shoulders is full of melancholy ......"
Zheng Qian finished singing the chorus, but he didn't hear the stop bell again, and he was relieved.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the entire audition hall was quiet.
The staff who were originally sitting in the corner all stood up at this moment and looked at themselves with a look of surprise.
Bao Zhimin, the auditor who was originally making things difficult for herself, had gloomy eyes at the moment, and after noticing Zheng Qian's gaze, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and was silent for a long time.
Shame flooded in.
