Chapter 1112 The Beautiful and the Ugly

On August 15th, in the final "Mentor Choice Match", the Mary Hughes team, known as the strongest team on the surface, recorded the match. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the tragic situation of the "blind audition" and the need to pull people to watch the game, this "mentor choice" is much more popular, and the on-site tickets that don't cost money actually have a "ticket economy" speculating on tickets.

The so-called "ticket economy" is also the legendary scalper, because now "The Voice of America" has become popular overnight, resulting in a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket, but this is not a problem for Cheng Xiaoyu at all, he also asked the director team for 100 tickets to Wang Ou, and sent them to the "only" in the United States through the official whisper of "Guilty Crown".

On the day of the game, Cheng Xiaoyu took Zhou Peipei, Xu Qinning, Xiao Zhiyan and Catherine sisters and brothers plus Wang Ou, Chen Haoran and Mo Lingshu, members of the "Crown of Crime", into the infield where only staff can enter.

Cheng Xiaoyu's seat ticket is naturally the best.

The stage of the "Mentor's Choice" is designed as a boxing ring as I remember, with a towering fist sculpture of The Voice's iconic V-shaped holding a microphone towering over the other side of the big screen, and the dazzling red lights have been lit up, heralding a brutal competition today.

The "Mentor Choice Competition" will be divided into two stages, and in the first stage, eight students from each mentor will be divided into four groups and PK in pairs.

In the second stage, the winners of the four teams will draw lots to choose their opponents, and at the end of the competition, social media voting, online voting, ringtone downloads and music store downloads will determine who will make it to the finals.

During the rehearsal, the other seven students except Xia Shamo knew that no matter whether it was the first stage or the second stage, whoever faced Xia Shamo would be eliminated.

Although Xia Shamo was the most hacked on the Internet, it was also because of her popularity, so for the other seven people, including Chrissy Wendy, they all hoped to forcibly remove Xia Shamo from the stage in the first round of the real "mentor choice".

In fact, except for Chris Wendy, the other six contestants are not so convinced by Xia Shamo's singing skills, because in the recent rehearsal, Xia Shamo's singing is not as convincing as in the "Blind Audition", it can only be said that it is above the level, but it is comparable to Mary Hughes, and many people are still a little scoffed.

Chrissy Wendy took this as an opportunity to connect some of the other winners in the group with the other players in this group, hoping to get their supporters to put pressure on Xia and the judges by cheering for her and voting online when she and Xia Shamo were due.

For this reason, Chrissy Wendy even added the WeChat of these contestants one by one to plan this conspiracy specifically against Xia Shamo, some people said that they would not participate, and many people tacitly gave Chrissy Wendy appropriate support.

Chrissy Wendy's move is of course to create an image of her many fans in front of the judges, the program team and others, only she knows that five of the six people who have been promoted by the other three mentors have said that they will mobilize fans to support her.

And the other six people in the same group as her all supported her PK to get rid of Xia Shamo, and it was obvious that Xia Shamo was out of everyone's interests.

This also proves the saying: "In the draft competition, the heat will die", which has a certain truth.

At this time, the spectators outside the arena were entering the arena one after another, and in the players' lounge, Chrissy Wendy was chatting in a low voice with another player named Lisson Cole, and Xia Shamo went out to talk to Cheng Xiaoyu and them, but was not inside.

Chrissy Wendy, with brown-red hair and freckled face, said in a voice that happened to be heard by several contestants around her: "Everyone should know that if you enter the finals, you have to sign a contract with the funder and copyright owner of this competition, 'Sound of Rain', do any of you know the company 'Sound of Rain'?"

The topic immediately aroused everyone's interest, and everyone turned their attention to Chrissy Wendy.

Lisson Cole shook his head and said, "I only know about this company, but I don't know about it." ”

Chrissy Wendy, as a second-rate singer who has been in the record industry for a long time, still has some way, she sighed and said: "I only learned the news, Justin Bieber is the company..... And Director Cheng is the behind-the-scenes boss of this company, so Xia Shamo's entry into the finals is almost a certainty. ”

Then Chrissy Wendy said with a look of indignation: "I didn't know why Xia Shamo was treated so favorably, to be honest, whether it was the director team or the mentor Mary Hughes's attitude towards me and the attitude towards that summer.xia is too obvious, especially the director of the director team, John Brie, you see every time he brings tea and water to eat, that time he didn't go personally, even the mentor didn't have this treatment......"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, music is pure, but music competitions are never so.

"I also heard that Xia Shamo is the girlfriend of the Chinese director Cheng Xiaoyu, if so, it's no wonder that others are so sycophant, isn't the CW TV relying on that director now?"

Jessica Mason, another female singer on the side, suddenly realized, asked: "No wonder, which of you and that Xia Shamo participated in the 'Blind Audition' in the same game? Is there really a Xiu Yin? Judging from the rehearsal, she doesn't have the strength to go against the sky in the 'Blind Audition'?"

In fact, the reason why Xia Shamo's rehearsal performance was not outstanding was that during the rehearsal, Chrissy Wendy felt that the KEY of the original song was a bit too high, and she couldn't hold it at all at the climax, she could barely sing it, but in the D5-E5 range, her vocal expressiveness could not be compared with Xia Shamo, so in order not to show that her skills were inferior, she deliberately did not cooperate with Xia Shamo's practice.

Ordinary people may think that as long as the treble can be sung, it is Niu B, but in fact, in the professional field, you can "sing" how "high", the word "sing" is in front, more important than "high", just like diving, you can complete the action with a difficulty coefficient of 4.0, it does not mean that you can get a high score with this action, because the quality of the action is more important.

In the process of mentoring the two of them, when they reached D5 and above, Chrissy Wendy's voice began to become sharper, in contrast to Xia Shamo's ability to keep the sound quality unchanged, although Mary Hughes heard it, but she only gave Chrissy Wendy some instructions on how to sing high notes, and did not plan to change the tune.

Although Chrissy Wendy expressed her desire to change the tune, she was rejected by Mary Hughes and the directing team, and repeatedly stressed to her that she must obey the arrangement, which is why Chrissy Wendy was dissatisfied with the directing staff and Mary Hughes, and she felt that she was just a victim.

So she found someone to post on the Internet, and privately asked Xia Shamo to lower the KEY.

She originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, such as she agreed to Xia Shamo's song selection request, in fact, this is also the request of the program team and the mentor; for example, this song was completed by two people, for the expressiveness of this song, Xia Shamo should make appropriate sacrifices; For example, everyone knows that Mary Hughes prefers you Xia Shamo, and will definitely choose you, I hope you can give me a little way out when I was eliminated, etc.

She even prepared a little onion water to wipe on her hands, wiped her eyes at the right time, and shed some tears to impress the other party, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't wait for her to sensationalize, so she agreed very happily.

Of course, Xia Shamo can also hear that Chrissy Wendy's vocal range is not as wide as her own, and she is far inferior to herself in terms of treble quality, but as a professional singer, cooperating with collaborators is also a basic quality, but she regards others as collaborators and others regard her as enemies.

Most people's nature is to bully the weak and fear the hard, Xia Shamo's kindness did not win the respect of Chrissy Wendy, but made Chrissy Wendy feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to get more benefits from Xia Shamo, and even she saw the hope of her own promotion, so she began to plan a conspiracy against Xia Shamo.

Chrissy Wendy heard Jessica Mason's question, and said with an unhappy face: "I'm not with her, judging from the rehearsal, she has a level, but I don't think it's as mysterious as what is said on the Internet, the song is not said by her, and she also asked for a KEY reduction during the rehearsal, anyway, the director team and Mary Hughes rely on her for everything, and I am also a little helpless." ”

Sitting opposite Chrissy Wendy, the blonde and hot Orianna Gibson said, "Their band's albums are still very good, "Listen", "If.I.Were.A.Boy", "Shot.in.the.dark..... They are all songs with great difficulty and melody, and their band has won the Grammy Award for Best New Orchestra, and I heard some singers choose her to sing during the 'blind audition'. ”

Kress Rich, a black singer sitting on the other side, spread his hands and said: "Are there still fewer studio singers these days? Judging from Xia Shamo's performance in rehearsals, their orchestra's creative ability is greater than their singing ability..... It's really a pity to let her be the lead singer, so many works with such a high degree of singing are not popular, and it seems that it is also the reason why the performance on the scene is not good. ”

A group of people gossiped about Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo and the "Crown of Crime", while talking, Xia Shamo pushed the door and walked in, everyone didn't say much, closed their mouths at the same time, took out their mobile phones and started to play their own games.

Chrissy Wendy immediately greeted Xia Shamo and smiled and beckoned her to sit beside her, Xia Shamo smiled shyly at everyone and sat next to her "teammates".

Orianna Gibson also greeted Xia Shamo with a smile, as the second most popular player in the same group after Xia Shamo, she naturally didn't want to offend Xia Shamo, maybe she would have to work in the same job as this Chinese girl in the future.

Although she was not optimistic about Chrissy Wendy's small actions, it did not prevent her from encouraging Chrissy Wendy to die.

With Chrissy Wendy and Oriana Gibson, others are also enthusiastic about Xia Shamo, who has never been very talkative, and after listening to so much gossip just now, everyone knows this girl, and on the surface they can't be offended.

These sudden enthusiasms made her a little unaccustomed.

Xia Shamo is not stupid, other contestants have always been a little repulsive to her, a popular Asian singer, and the other singers talked and laughed during the rehearsals in the past two days, but no one took the initiative to talk to her.

From the brief silence at the door to the sudden enthusiasm, Xia Shamo certainly knew that something was wrong, but she felt that she didn't need to be sensitive all the time, and that dullness was sometimes a virtue.

Sometimes, even if she sees through the motives of the other person's actions or thoughts, she will appear to be sluggish. Try to interpret the language from the perspective of kindness, and keep the feeling of being slower than the other person.

This is Xia Shamo's trick of being kind to people, and it is also compassion for people.
