Chapter 18: Taking the stage
Soon a host stood up and said the names of the sponsors on the podium, and then asked the four mentors to sing a song together, and then the four mentors each expressed their encouragement to the contestants, and then began to draw lots.
Only then did Cheng Ran find out that the number of people participating in the audition this time was only 100, and at this time Cheng Ran reacted, it should be Li Qiuxue who used her relationship to allow herself to participate in this competition smoothly.
You don't have to think that most of the people who can stand here have definitely been screened by the organizers, and they are all quite powerful, of course, they will definitely stuff some green leaves by the way, so that they can make the show effect and be responsible for the audience who buy tickets.
After several tutors finished speaking, the host stood up again and briefly explained the rules.
First of all, there are only five places for each mentor, which means that only 20 of these 100 people can become official contestants of "The Voice of China" and follow their mentors to sprint to a higher ranking.
The one-fifth chance is still quite stressful for most people, and obviously Cheng Ran does not belong to this kind of person.
At this moment, he looked around boredly, remembering to hear Li Qiuxue say that as long as he left the lounge, Li Qiuxue would be able to accompany him.
However, until the lottery began, Cheng Ran never saw Li Qiuxue's figure, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although Cheng Ran had always resisted dealing with Li Qiuxue, thinking that she was cheating on herself and constantly squeezing her own value.
I don't deny it, but I don't deny that the only person I believe most in this world is Li Qiuxue.
A total of 100 numbers, divided into two days and four games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, the players who draw the first 25 can perform on stage in turn this morning, choose the mentor who is willing to turn around, if there is no mentor who turns around, then the contestant is eliminated.
In the same way, the 25 to 50 players will compete in the afternoon, and the lower ones will wait until tomorrow.
Cheng Ran was lucky to draw the 25th, the last performer of the morning.
Under normal circumstances, the first and last terms are more likely to be impressed by the mentor, and the chances of success are greater.
When Cheng Ran showed the draw results of his No. 25 player, it was obvious that there were many players around him looking at Cheng Ran enviously.
Soon the on-site staff began to evacuate the players below the 25th, and they could choose to stay and watch the game, or they could choose to go back to rest.
For this kind of competition, naturally many people choose to stay and watch the game, but they are all led to a special position, and as for Cheng Ran, the group of players in the morning game are ready to compete on the stage separately.
"Cheng Ran, if you have any songs ready, I will report to the backstage and let them prepare a song for you. ”
Just as Cheng Ran was thinking blankly about what he should do next, Li Qiuxue walked over and asked anxiously.
"Songs?"
"What song?"
"Aren't they all ready?"
Cheng Ran looked at the four mentors on the stage in confusion and asked.
Li Qiuxue was slightly stunned, staring at the sunglasses she bought for Cheng Ran, at this moment she really wanted to punch Cheng Ran's sunglasses to see what he was thinking.
"The Voice of China competition does not provide songs for the contestants to choose, they are only responsible for dubbing, and the tunes are played freely by the contestants. ”
"Then what song should I sing, or we'll give up!"
Cheng Ran remembered that he hadn't prepared a song, and Li Qiuxue hadn't prepared either, so he had this reason to abandon the game Cheng Ran believed that Li Qiuxue shouldn't be able to refuse, and immediately excitedly suggested to Li Qiuxue.
Li Qiuxue also wore wide sunglasses, Cheng Ran couldn't see her eyes, the only thing he could see was the corners of Li Qiuxue's gradually impatient mouth.
"I think ........."
Cheng Ran still wanted to refute a few words, he knew that if he had been obedient to Li Qiuxue, she would definitely get worse, but when Cheng Ran saw Li Qiuxue's slender five fingers, he remembered that he had signed the damn contract before.
"I can write a song on the spot and come out ......"
Cheng Ran under the mask tried his best to make a flattering smile, and he didn't care that Li Qiuxue couldn't see it at all.
Li Qiuxue nodded with satisfaction, gently soothed her five fingers, and looked at Cheng Ran with a delicate chin and said.
"What do you need, about the tune, if you have prepared it in advance, you can give it to me. ”
Li Qiuxue looked at Cheng Ran's face shrouded in sunglasses and masks, she didn't really think that Cheng Ran would make a song on the spot, it was estimated that Cheng Ran had written it before, but she didn't have a chance to announce it.
And he didn't inform him in advance that he would participate in the audition of "The Voice of China", even if Cheng Ran was smart, it was impossible to predict in advance that he would take him to participate in the audition and prepare a song in advance.
"No need, you can get me a guitar. ”
Cheng Ran remembered a song he often played and sang with a guitar when he was in college, but because it was not an era, Cheng Ran was not sure if this song could help him get through this difficulty.
Li Qiuxue under the sunglasses frowned slightly, but remembered Cheng Ran's previous performance and nodded slightly, and turned around to prepare a guitar for Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran looked at the performances of all kinds of people on the stage boredly, the quality of the first batch of contestants is generally good, after all, if they come up are crooked melons and cracked dates, then the audience will not scold the show to death.
Of course, if a few players with poor strength occasionally jump out to liven up the atmosphere of the audience, the audience can still accept it.
Cheng Ran stood quietly in his position watching the players one by one, unaware of the camera behind him.
Liu Dong just went back and thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that the player who wore sunglasses and a mask and had a big heart to sleep in the lounge was a little unsimple.
The "Voice of China" program is already in its sixth episode, and through the popularity accumulated in the previous episodes, the "Voice of China" program team can proudly say that there is no one in the whole of China who does not know that there is such a talent show.
If there were some players in the first few episodes who slept in the lounge because they didn't care about this kind of unpopularity and the arrogance that they thought they had some talent, it was not nothing.
But Liu Dong has really never encountered this kind of contestant after filming in the last few episodes, so Liu Dong weirdly feels that Cheng Ran must be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, maybe it is a certain singer, maybe because of some accidents, his popularity has been a little sluggish recently, and he specially came to "The Voice of China" to rub traffic.
Liu Dong was thinking about which singers had recently lost popularity due to scandals and other scandals, and he was carefully filming Cheng Ran.
He now found a very interesting point, when other singers sang on stage, they would close their eyes and listen carefully, nodding and shaking their heads from time to time, especially the excitement that those contestants showed when they were recognized by their mentors as if they had been selected by their mentors.
Similarly, for those players who don't know each other and may not even meet each other, after being eliminated by the mentor, there is a sigh, as if they were eliminated by the mentor.
This mysterious contestant is different, he just stands quietly watching everything that happens on the stage, no matter how loud the cheers of the audience around him, no matter how dramatic the scene on the stage is, he always stands quietly, as if all this has nothing to do with him.
Liu Dong felt more and more mysterious about this contestant, he believed in his intuition, this man would definitely bring him a lot of surprises.
………………
"What song are you going to sing?"
Li Qiuxue gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, looked at Cheng Ran, who was seriously stroking the guitar, and asked.
"You'll know that then. ”
Cheng Ran smiled and did not answer Li Qiuxue's question directly, but carefully studied the guitar in his arms.
He also touched the guitar in four years of college because of the piano, but he was not very proficient in coming and going, that is, those few pieces.
According to Cheng Ran's consciousness before he crossed over, he couldn't play any good songs at all, but now this body is like a sophisticated instrument, even with those vague memories in his mind, as long as Cheng Ran is willing, he can easily mobilize it.
Coupled with his terrifying coordination ability of hands and feet, as long as he is a little familiar with it, Cheng Ran feels like he has been a master of playing for many years.
Of course, what attracted Cheng Ran's attention the most was the value of this piano, the most expensive piano Cheng Ran had in his previous life was a former music classmate of Kyoto University, one of whom used a piano of more than 300,000 yuan, and heard him say that his family sold a lot of cattle and sheep to buy it for him.
Originally, Cheng Ran was still very sympathetic to him, after all, he was admitted to Kyoto University at that time and applied for scholarships, and there were various awards from his original school, and he was not very poor during college.
However, it was not until one year that the school organized students to teach and study in remote areas for a few weeks, and passed by his house.
Cheng Ran and a few classmates saw the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and hundreds of horses, and they were silently autistic.
According to the value of the 300,000 guitar of which classmate, Cheng Ran is sure that the value of the guitar in his hand is definitely not low.
"What's the matter?
Li Qiuxue Xiumei frowned slightly, and sighed secretly in her heart, only this guitar has the highest value in this area, and Li Qiuxue can also understand that for a person of Cheng Ran's level, he may not be interested in taking a look at a guitar of 500,000 yuan.
"No, I'm satisfied. ”
Cheng Ran shook his head and continued to study the guitar in his hand.
Li Qiuxue looked at Cheng Ran's perfunctory attitude and felt a little depressed, but she really tried her best, drove several streets, and ran two red lights alone.
"Alas, chasing stars is not simple. ”
……………
"Teacher Haring, you have already accepted three students at the beginning of the game, so you are not afraid of missing out on good seedlings next?"
"Teacher Wang Feng, I am really thirsty for talents, and I like the singing skills of these three students very much, which is very in line with my path. ”
"Teacher Wang Feng, you are only recruiting one now, and you are still a little harsh on the students. ”
"What Dong Zhou said is right, Wang Feng and I have two students, is it possible that there will be better seedlings in the future?"
That sister, Dong Chou, Wang Feng, and Harlem joked with each other while waiting for the contestants to come on stage because of the fact that it was almost over.
At present, Mr. Harlem has three students, one teacher Wang Feng, two Dong Zhou, and two sisters.
"Alas, it's not that I don't want to choose, but I have been chosen by you who meet my taste, and finally there are two I like, either Dong Chou's fan or Harlem's teacher. ”
Tutor Wang Feng smiled bitterly in front of the camera, and several other mentors smiled tacitly and did not continue to ask, indeed there were a few players whose styles obviously belonged to Mr. Wang Feng's style, and the original mentors did not deliberately rob people, after all, this was the first scene, but they sang really well, and when they turned around, they didn't expect to be their own fans.
"Okay, okay, there is one last contestant in the morning, and Mr. Wang Feng still has a chance. ”
The sister stood up to play a round, and the host also stood up very cooperatively to announce the last contestant to participate in the audition this morning.
"Thank you to the xx sponsors......... Now let's invite the last player of the morning session to play. ”
