Chapter 90: The audition begins
After a period of publicity, the recently boiling national talent show The Voice of China officially started auditions in multiple regions. Many contestants who signed up for the competition began to appear on the stage for the audition competition.
Because the number of applicants is too large, the audition method given by Zhang Fan is to randomly select a group of ten people to compete, and the person who gets the most votes within the time limit will win the first place and pass the first round. After that, the second and third rounds will be played until the regional champion is determined and the ticket to the finals is obtained.
There are too many contestants, and even if everyone sings only one song, the current program team will not have enough time to broadcast it. Therefore, the program team reached a cooperation agreement with some local TV stations, and they will broadcast the competition in this region on their behalf.
Of course, this kind of thing needs to be negotiated, and it also has to pay a certain price. A lot of the upfront funding was spent here.
Zhang Fan knows that this is inevitable, because there are no results yet, and he will naturally have to pay a certain price. It's just that after the ratings are hot, it will be the turn of those TV stations to take the initiative to come to the door and rush to cooperate. At that time, all the money spent in front of me can be recovered, not to mention, but also to make a lot of money.
Among all the competition areas, only the imperial capital is directly recorded and broadcast by the program team, and Zhang Fan, as the chief director, naturally wants to come forward.
The competition venue in the Imperial Capital Division is in a recording hall of the TV station, and the first batch of contestants in this competition area are already waiting for the stage backstage. All departments are ready, and now they are waiting for Zhang Fan as the host to appear.
Other competition areas are broadcast by cooperative TV stations, but only the Imperial Capital competition area is broadcast on the variety channel of national television. The reason given by Zhang Fan was to warm up for the finals of the show, but the actual reason was that he didn't want Imperial Capital TV to follow.
The feud between Zhang Fan and Imperial Capital TV has not ended at all, in fact, it has just begun. He's a bit of a cautious and vindictive man.
The recording hall is not very large, and there are some seats inside. Most of the people sitting on the seats are invited viewers, TV station staff, and the family members of the contestants.
After the departments were in place, Zhang Fan glanced at Cheng Qu who was standing on the side of the stage, and after the two nodded slightly, they took the microphone and walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, my Zhang Fan." Zhang Fan, who has hosted several programs, is already very experienced at this time, and after a brief opening introduction on stage, the first group of contestants began to compete.
No way, there are too many people who have signed up. This morning alone, there will be four groups of 40 players. The first place player in each group with the highest number of votes within the allotted time will advance to the next round.
Although each contestant's singing will be recorded during the recording, only the contestants who have qualified for the qualification will have a complete performance during the broadcast, and the other contestants can only show their faces. Fortunately, after the end of the first round, the number of contestants will be greatly reduced, and that is when the program team really makes efforts.
"Now I have the first contestant, Wang Qi, invited to the stage." With Zhang Fan's introduction, the first contestant, Wang Qi, walked up from the backstage amid the sound of music.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Qi from Jinmen, and I'm a student at school." Wang Qi, who is not tall, a little thin and wears a pair of glasses, looked a little excited after coming to the stage, and his voice trembled with a hint of trembling.
"Wang Qi, you are from Jinmen but you came to the Imperial Capital to compete, is it because you are studying in the Imperial Capital? Came to our contest because you love to sing? Zhang Fan didn't want to be just a newspaper screener, and the contestants began to host the show after they took the stage.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Wang Qi nodded vigorously: "I go to school here, so I signed up here." I love singing and I like to go to KTV when I'm fine. I came today after taking a leave of absence from school. I have thought about it, if I fail this time, I will go to the Tianjin competition area to register for the competition again. Wang Qi, who was obviously controlling his emotions, responded quickly.
"Well, I wish you good results." Time is precious, Zhang Fan quickly got to the point, "What song are you going to perform for you today?" ”
"During the holidays, I watched the seventh part of the King of Speed." Wang Qi looked at Zhang Fan and responded quickly: "I like the song at the end of the movie very, very much. So what I want to sing today is this song See You Again. ”
Zhang Fan was about to step down, but after hearing this, he paused and asked curiously, "I'm the original singer, the difficulty of this song is not low." Are you going to play a big knife in front of me? ”
"Hahaha~~~" There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
It is obvious that this player named Wang Qi wants to win Zhang Fan's favor. After all, he is the host and the chief director. If he can really be favored by him, at least the difficulty of passing the audition will be greatly reduced.
"I like Mr. Zhang's songs very much." Wang Qi looked at Zhang Fan: "I can sing Mr. Zhang's songs." ”
"I've only sung three songs." Zhang Fan smiled and touched his nose, "Okay, now please enjoy this nostalgic song sung by Wang Qi, see you again." ”
Zhang Fan walked off the stage, and the lights and music sounded at the same time. Wang Qi, who was shrouded in bright lights, closed his eyes and raised the microphone in his hand.
Wang Qi, who has liked to sing since he was a child, has average qualifications and an average voice. Of course, the appearance and figure are also very ordinary. But his love of singing never went away. Every time I go to KTV, I am a Maiba, and I am very self-absorbed. Fortunately, he also knew that his singing dream could only be a dream, and he didn't have the idea of running to a music company.
However, some time ago, after he saw the news that the Voice of China program began to sign up for the program on the Internet, the whole person instantly roared in the dormitory. He saw an opportunity to make his dream come true, and whatever the end result, at least he had a chance to be on stage. And this may be the only chance of his life!
"Not bad." Zhang Fan stood under the stage with his arms folded around his chest, listening to Wang Qi on the stage singing the classic song in a falsetto voice and nodding slightly.
"Although I have not received professional training, I can see that I have put my heart and soul into it." Cheng Qu came to Zhang Fan's side and said with a smile: "But compared to your original singer, it's still a little far behind." ”
Now that the audition has officially begun, the show is on track. Cheng Qu also put down all his thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the operation of the show. And the key to the success of this show lies in Zhang Fan, who is now completely holding Zhang Fan. Because Zhang Fan can help him achieve his goals, this is enough.
Zhang Fan took over the title of original and original singer with his eyes open, in fact, he is indeed the original singer in this world.
"Can't be too demanding of them." Zhang Fan shook his head slightly: "This show doesn't really want to select professional singers. The process of working hard to achieve their dreams is what the audience likes to watch. ”
"You're right." Cheng Qu nodded vigorously.
"This is the first player, and the performance is okay." Zhang Fan raised his hand and pinched his chin, "Wait, you can invite his relatives and friends up to stir up the atmosphere and stir up the atmosphere." It's just an exercise. ”
"It can't really be that he sings your song and has to take care of it, right?" Cheng Qu smiled and nodded, "Don't be too obvious." ”
"Hey~~~" Zhang Fan smiled, and then turned his gaze back to the stage. This show also has his hard work and carries his dreams. It is said that men are the most attractive when they work, and that is because the focused look of men when they go all out to realize their dreams is the most attractive!
"It's really shameless, blatant sycophancy!" A voice tinged with jealousy sounded in the background.
"That's it, if you all sing the host's song, it's better than a competition!" This is a player with average English.
Zhang Fan, as the host and chief director, has a very important position in this show. Singing his songs does have the possibility of being taken care of. It's just that Zhang Fan only has three songs in total, and only this one See You Again has the best effect when sung alone. The other two songs are love songs sung by men and women, and it is really difficult for one person to sing well.
"There's really a camera, there's a camera!" This is the first time a player has seen a regular camera.
"Mom and Dad, why haven't you arrived yet?! I'm going to be on stage soon! "The female contestant, who had very exaggerated makeup on her face, was talking to her family on the phone.
"God willing, all the gods and Buddhas have given me strength!" The contestant was closing his eyes and clasping his hands together, praying to the gods for help.
"This is the TV station, huh? Watching TV every day is the first time I've actually been in a TV station. "This is the first time I've been on TV.
"Isn't all the fuss just a show? Haven't seen the world! The player who pouted and said that no one else had seen the world was pinching his palm hard.
In the standby hall backstage, there are nine players in the same group who are sitting or standing at this time, and they are ordinary people who signed up for the draft like Wang Qi. None of them were professional singers. Their entire makeshift group was only recording for just over an hour, and there were three more groups waiting for the time to come. And out of the ten, only the recording of the first place will appear on TV in its entirety.
Although this method is a bit cruel, it greatly enhances the competitiveness.
The expressions, movements, and even words of the contestants can be regarded as expressing their true thoughts at this time. Nervousness, excitement, and a hint of anticipation.
There is such a thing as a competition, even if you are watching from the sidelines, let alone participate in it. Although it was only the initial primary, for most of the contestants, this may be the only moment when they can stand on the stage and realize their dreams for a few minutes!
At this time, the mood must be very chaotic, and of course it can be very exciting.
When the mood of the backstage players gradually ignited, Wang Qi on the stage in front finally finished singing the song. In a burst of applause and applause, Zhang Fan also smiled and applauded and walked on the stage.
After Zhang Fan walked on the stage, the first sentence amused everyone: "Just now, the audience shouted together, and it was your classmates who walked together?" ”
