This time, the young singer contest in Beijing is still divided into three groups: bel canto, ethnic and popular. At this time, pop songs were not yet elegant, and there were many people who liked and hated them, and many old-fashioned people called them "the sound of glamour", "the decadent art and culture of the bourgeoisie", "the remnants of the party", "spiritual pollution", and "uncultured things...... In order not to cause controversy, the competition was not set up with pop singing, but set up the so-called "popular singing", which is actually pop music but is a somewhat embarrassing group. The change of this name actually restricts singers who sing in popular ways to use more traditional singing techniques, and less novel and fancy "tricks and tricks", and the songs of the competition must be positive. What rock, rap...... It's strange to be able to get into the game.

Chen Tianliao has little objection to such a game setup. Moreover, such a competition can force the contestants to pay more attention to the practice of basic skills and find powerful singers. He didn't deliberately choose popular singing to listen, he also appreciates bel canto and ethnic singing, and maybe he can find some people to achieve transformation.

The competition was held in a large auditorium of the Beijing Television Station. There are a lot of celebrities in the cultural circles of the capital, but of course there are not many familiar faces of Chen Tianliao in another time and space. History has changed. Except for those born before the extension of the Anti-Japanese War, the characters in the back are basically different. And even in that group, there were many teenagers who went on to work in jobs that were different from those of another time and space. Therefore, most of the faces Chen Tianliao saw here were unfamiliar. Even if there are familiar faces, they may have common parents and even common names with some celebrities in previous lives, and they have inherited the cultural career of their ancestors, but in a biological sense, they are not the same person. At most, it only triggered some memories of Chen Tianliao's past life.

The race started quickly. It is said that more than 20 players passed the preliminary round in each of the three groups. Two days ago was the semi-final of bel canto singing, and Chen Tianliao did not fancy any contestants. In fact, he would love to replicate the popular bel canto quartet groups in Europe and the United States, such as Il Divo in the United States, Blake and G4 in the United Kingdom, but disappointed, none of these singers lived up to his expectations.

The third day is a folk singing competition. The first male singer to appear on the stage made Chen Tianliao's eyes shine.

"This is a good seedling!" Chen Tianliao whispered to Huang Yi.

"He's already taken a fancy to the Navy Art Troupe, are you sure you want to compete with the Art Troupe?" asked Huang Yi playfully.

Chen Tianliao immediately deflated: "Don't, I have to live a few more years!" Now is no more than the era of deepening reform in later generations, as the boss of a private company, it is best to learn to be a man with his tail between his legs in this era.

The next few good singers in a row are all famous flowers. Huang Yi comforted Chen Tianliao and said: "Now national singing is very popular, especially those art troupes, schools and government units welcome such talents. I'm afraid that if you have some ability, it won't be your turn. ”

Chen Tianliao gritted his teeth and said, "Keep looking, I don't believe that I really can't find a good seedling!"

Huang Yi looked at the stage intently, as if he hadn't heard this, but a meaningful smile curved into the corner of his mouth.

All morning, Chen Tianliao found nothing.

In the afternoon game, the summer sun baked the whole auditorium like a big steamer, although there were many large and small ceiling fans and wall fans desperately turning, they still could not dispel the heat from the audience. Chen Tianliao was also roasted to a little drowsy.

"Damn the weather, I really want to have air conditioning!" Chen Tianliao said silently in his heart. But that's just a matter of thinking. Before the group of air conditioning manufacturers in Lingdong Province did not get started, air conditioning was a veritable luxury for Chinese people.

So, in the next game, Chen Tianliao entered a state of drowsiness, only when he heard a refreshed voice, he would whisper a few words to Huang Yi, and when he heard that it was a famous flower again, he lowered his head again and continued to be sleepy.

Huang Yi looked funny, took advantage of the gap between changing players, gently poked him with his elbow, and said, "Shouldn't you listen to such a beautiful song?"

Chen Tianliao didn't raise his head, didn't open his eyes, and said in a daze: "I came to choose people this time." What the hell is the weather to enjoy the song? ”

Huang Yi shook his head and stopped talking.

At this time, the female singer on stage had already picked up the microphone and started singing. As soon as she spoke, Huang Yi frowned: "Why is this voice getting worse and worse?"

Chen Tianliao was excited, raised his head, looked at the singer on the stage, and his eyes emitted an indescribable light. Huang Yi's eyes swept Chen Tianliao's demeanor, he was stunned for a moment, leaned over and bit the corner of his ear, and said, "What's the matter, you have taken a fancy to her?"

Chen Tianliao said excitedly: "Yes, it's her! This voice is wild enough, I like it!"

Huang Yi said worriedly: "But such a wild voice is not easy to control, and there are not many good works to sing." ”

Chen Tianliao turned his head and glanced at her, and said, "I have!" Then he turned his head and looked at the stage without blinking.

This concise answer made Huang Yi not understand what he had for a while, and then thought that he had a work suitable for the female singer to sing, and couldn't help but be curious. What kind of work would that be?

Chen Tianliao thought of the Northwest Wind song. Northwest Wind is a general term for the style of pop songs that combine the Northwest folk song style of SX, SX and other places. This kind of song seems to have a strong loess flavor, but under the loess, the reflection on history, the desire for change, and the pursuit of the value of life are roared out with the help of the desolate and vigorous Northwest folk songs. This is a unique creative trend in the history of China that combines the three elements of folk songs, rock and pop, although its climax lasted only about two years, but it set off the first original trend in the Chinese mainland pop music scene, and the Chinese mainland pop music scene has slowly come out of the state of picking up and covering songs.

Therefore, after hearing the singing voices of the contestants on stage, Chen Tianliao wanted to sign her, and also used the desolate strength of the northwest wind to open the curtain of the mainland pop music scene. This wild singing voice and perfect singing skills, whether it is "Xintianyou" sung by Wang Si, the work of the northwest wind, or "Loess High Slope" sung by Hang Tianqi, "My Hometown of Love" sung by Fan Linlin, and "The Shadow of the Fence Wall" sung by Mao Amin, she can completely control it. This is a baby!

"What's her name?" asked Chen Tianliao to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi was speechless: "Didn't you listen to the newspaper just now?"

Chen Tianliao said: "Didn't I take a nap just now, I didn't hear it." ”

Huang Yi looked at his calm face, shook his head, and said, "Her name is Liu Xia, and she once knew me. Her mother is engaged in music in the art troupe, so her basic skills have been very good since she was a child, but her voice is not good, and many famous songs with the main theme can't be sung, so she can't enter the art troupe, and is currently working as a music teacher in a middle school. Her father was a high-ranking city official in Jiaodong Province. ”

Chen Tianliao said: "Interesting, I want this person." ”

Huang Yi immediately continued: "This is not good!"

Chen Tianliao looked at her with a wink: "Didn't you say that she was just a middle school teacher?"

Huang Yi covered her mouth and smiled: "You can't ask her for a middle school teacher, although she says, 'female junior, hug gold bricks', but she is more than ten years older than you!"

Only then did Chen Tianliao realize that he was molested by a beautiful woman. But when it comes to flirting, who's afraid of whom. Chen Tianliao immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you afraid of in your teens, if you want to be a beauty, I want you too!"

Huang Yi immediately lost to this little rascal with the soul of an old rascal, pushed him away, and glared at him fiercely with a blushing face.

Chen Tianliao saw that the game was coming to an end, so he said to Huang Yi: "Let's go, let's go backstage and communicate with that Miss Liu Xia." ”

Liu Xia had already taken off her performance makeup at this time, picked up her bag, and walked out of the backstage exit. She knew she was going to be out of action again. Her voice is not in line with the current trend, and even if the judges give a reward for her family background, it is just a consolation prize that is better than nothing. She's used to it, too. Anyway, I performed in public again today.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard someone next to her calling her: "Teacher Liu, please wait!"

Liu Xia turned her head and saw the person who was coming, so she put on a smiling face and shouted affectionately: "Teacher Huang, hello! Are you also here to participate in the competition?"

Huang Yi shook his head and said, "No, although I like music, I don't dare to compare with you." I'm just here to watch the game. This classmate Chen Tianliao likes your singing very much, so I brought him to meet you. ”

Liu Xia was surprised in her heart, there are not many people who like her singing, let alone such a young child. She leaned down slightly, touched Chen Tianliao's head with her right hand, and said happily: "What a cute little friend!"

Huang Yi looked at the helplessness in Chen Tianliao's eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Tianliao shook his head and said to Liu Xia: "Teacher Liu, I have something to look for you, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”

Liu Xia looked at Huang Yi, Huang Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's a very important thing!"

Liu Xia naturally knows Huang Yi's background. The circle of cultural officials in the capital is not very large. She followed Huang Yi and Chen Tianliao and walked out together.

"Uh, you mean you want to sign me as a singer?" Liu Xia listened incredibly.

"That's right. Chen Tianliao nodded, and turned his head to Huang Yi in a very dignified manner, "Sister Yi, can you introduce my origin to Teacher Liu." ”

Huang Yi slapped the kid on the back of the head, directly knocked out his arrogance, and then introduced him and said: "This little kid is a genius child who is very famous in the Japanese country. Don't you have friends from the Japanese country, just ask them who the person 'Chen Tianliao' is. I promise you'll be amazed. ”

Chen Tianliao smiled and took out a draft contract sample from his backpack, filled in a number on it, handed it to Liu Xia, and said, "This is the draft contract that I am about to provide, if you don't leak it to the outside, you can find me according to the phone number or address above." ”

After Liu Xia took it, she looked at it casually, put it in her bag, and said, "Okay, little brother." Then sister, I'll go back and see, and if it's suitable, I'll look for you." ”

Chen Tianliao happily waved his hand with her: "Okay, goodbye, sister!"
