Chapter 40: Hurry
Gu Bei and Zhang Qiguang chatted for a while, and soon it was eight o'clock, the competition began, the lights on the dome of the studio hall were lit up, and the four judges of Zhao Jun came from the backstage, each sitting on their own chairs, they seemed to be a little confused, and they didn't joke with each other to drive the atmosphere, so let's start directly.
The host is Huang Xin, a famous beautiful host of Qingchuan City TV Station, known for her outstanding appearance and humor and eloquence, she first came to a large number of advertising words, and then introduced the four famous judges in the Chinese music scene, and finally entered the main topic.
"Good evening audience friends, I am tonight's host Huang Xin, after the fierce battle of the audition, today will be born under the gaze of the top 16, yes, it can be said that every singer standing on this stage is one in a million powerful singers, no matter what the outcome of tonight is, they are all heroes of the new generation of singers, so, who will be the first campus singer to appear?"
Huang Xin paused: "Please below, the original song brought by No. 1 contestant Tian Tian, "Anhe Bridge"!"
The lights on the dome of the studio hall dimmed, a faint blue broken light sprinkled down, and on the empty stage, Tian Tian took the stage in a pure white evening dress, at that moment, the noisy sound receded like a tide, and thousands of eyes fell on Tian Tian, who had long hair like a cloud and clear facial features, Tian Tian sat in the center of the stage and sang "Anhe Bridge" softly:
Let me look at you again,
From south to north,
Like blindfolded by the Fifth Ring Road,
Say it again,
About that day,
The girl holding the box.
……
The clean and elegant guitar and strings, the warm and simple lyrics, and Tian Tian's pure and clear voice quickly immersed everyone, just like listening to a girl tell the trivial past in the world, without gorgeous skills, without the hustle and bustle of screaming, almost chattering about the people around her, the stories around her and her own heart.
Singing and singing, Tian Tian's clear eyes swept to the audience, first fell on her roommates, and also saw Lu Liang waving his arms, but soon, her gaze crossed Lu Liang, looking for it in the blurred faces, but the result disappointed her after all, she didn't see anything, she couldn't help but think of the night when she returned to the stone forest from Qingchuan by train, Gu Bei sat under the window and sang softly:
I know
Those summers,
Just like you can't come back,
I don't expect anything from anyone anymore,
I know
In this world, there are too many regrets every day,
So, hello and goodbye.
……
It wasn't until Tian Tian got up and bowed, and the audience who were immersed in pure singing in a daze realized that the show was over, all of them gave a standing ovation, several judges nodded again and again, An Ying turned his head to Zhao Jun and said: "Old Zhao, I see that you are immersed in this song, how do you comment on Tian Tian's original song?"
Zhao Jun held up a small sign marked with the word "promotion": "I don't need to evaluate, I just want to say three words: I like it!"
"I think that's the best thing to say. ”
An Ying raised her cards and advanced!
The other two judges also raised the promotion sign, not unexpected at all, Tian Tian was unanimously promoted, and suddenly the applause in the studio hall was thunderous, and Julie and Zhang Yaqi in the audience jumped up happily, somewhat with the taste of a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and Gu Bei looked at the girl on the stage, smiled and applauded.
This girl realized her dream of being a singer so easily, Gu Bei's feeling in his heart was quite wonderful, because he knew Tian Tian's life trajectory in his previous life, not to mention tragic, but often struggling, and now, because of herself, she embarked on a completely different path, which indirectly changed the fate of this girl who she once loved deeply, right or wrong Gu Bei didn't know, but sincerely hoped that she would be well all the way.
Zhang Qiguang said: "Do you know this girl?"
Gu Bei retracted his gaze: "How did Uncle Zhang know?"
Zhang Qiguang couldn't help laughing: "I'm also from here, and the songs she sings are also written by you?"
Gu Bei didn't deny it, Zhang Qiguang didn't continue to ask, looking at the host Huang Xin who was doing the crosstalk, he couldn't help but worry about his daughter Zhang Ruoran, because he suddenly realized that this Gu Bei was a little too popular with girls, and there was no way to say it, the little guy was too good.
After Tian Tian left the field, the game continued.
The top 32 in the National Campus Singer Contest are all campus singers selected from all over the country, and the level is naturally not good, compared to Gu Bei, a music lover who has not undergone any systematic training, so on the whole, the singing is very good, but most of the songs they cover are classic tracks from the 80s and 90s, such as Carpenter's "Yesterday-Once-More", Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye", and Chinese rock and roll master Cui Jian's "Flower Girl" and so on, they are all classics, but they are old, and there are few refreshing original songs "Anhe Bridge" sung by Tian Tian.
sang the tenth singer, and it was Zhang Ruoran's turn.
As the biggest favorite for the champion of the National Campus Singer Competition, Zhang Ruoran is outstanding in any aspect, and is also the most famous and popular contestant among the top 32 campus singers in the country.
After this girl became popular all over the country with an original song "Long Time No See", this time she brought Gu Bei's "The Year in a Hurry" tailored for her:
In a hurry, how many times did we say goodbye and then delayed,
It's a pity that who has never loved is not an eloquence on the seven feelings,
In a hurry, we hurriedly left behind unbearable promises,
Only wait for others to cash in,
No wonder the kiss marks haven't accumulated into a cocoon,
embraced hibernation and failed to become an immortal again.
……
After the song was sung, the studio hall was quiet.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
In the silent hall, the applause of judge Zhao Jun sounded. Immediately afterwards, the audience gave them a standing ovation, and there was no doubt that Zhang Ruoran's performance conquered them.
"First of all, I think this song is a test of singing skills, easy to lose tone, and very particular about singing skills, but if it is handled very well, dragonflies and water, looming, with ethereal and tactful power, it is really like a natural sound, which is not something that ordinary singers can control. Zhao Jun commented: "I remember the first time I met Ruoran in the audition, I said at that time that your voice is like a combination of Faye Wong and Stefanie Sun, and now I want to say that you will be the flag bearer of the new generation of Chinese pop music!"
After speaking, Zhao Jun raised his card and advanced!
An Ying nodded in agreement with this statement: "This song reminds me of the background music in domestic film and television dramas in the sixties and seventies, it is very old-fashioned, although the voice is ethereal and gentle, but it is very sadistic, and ordinary people can't control it." ”
Li Kequn raised the promotion card and praised it: "I think the author who wrote the lyrics and songs is a powerful character, the arrangement is intriguing and classic, and the words and sentences are intriguing and sadistic." That's amazing!"
