At this time in China, there was almost no live accompaniment of the orchestra, and the larger the evening, the more so. Even if a rock band has the opportunity to go on stage, it is still a CD, one is afraid that the live performance accident will affect the future of some people, and the other is that although the equipment in the studio is very expensive, it is troublesome to use, not to mention that there are very few people who can really record the band live and compare with the CD, not only that, but it also depends on the wave of the musicians and singers on the day, and most of the singers in China are actually studio singers, and live singers like Xia Shamo are extremely rare.

So Fang Guomin still took a lot of risks for Cheng Xiaoyu, although Cheng Xiaoyu is not well-known enough in the hearts of ordinary people, but Cheng Xiaoyu is now very famous in both industries, spanning the pop music industry and the classical music industry, such a person is enough capital to call it a big deal.

Moreover, Fang Guomin also has a compensatory mentality, which can be regarded as a little comfort for Xia Shamo who can't enter the top four. He also has some expectations for the "shocking performance" that Cheng Xiaoyu said, but this expectation is also limited.

Because the group will not come out until tomorrow's live broadcast draw, the rehearsal order is carried out according to the size of the number of the knockout round, and Xia Shamo is No. 33, in a middle and backward position.

Everyone needs to prepare two songs, and some of the content that the host will probably ask is also written in the script, and each singer is required to prepare corresponding words.

Because other singers are all playing CD accompaniment, the process goes relatively fast, Wang Si'an, Xu Mengming, Li Xiaopeng, the knockout rounds are all in front of Xia Shamo, and the natural rehearsal is also in front of Xia Shamo. After each singer finished singing, he also won a round of applause.

Although it was a rehearsal, there were also many reporters and CCTV employees and some fans who tried their best to come in and sat in the audience to watch.

When it was Xu Mengming's turn, it was obvious that she had already felt the pressure from Xia Shamo, and the songs she chose were also classic Chinese repertoire, the Mongolian folk song "Praise the Grassland" and the theme song "Mother" of the TV series "Mother", which created a miracle in Chinese ratings, and the breadth and difficulty of the two songs can be described as household names.

And Wang Si'an was not to be outdone, and took out his famous track "Farewell Song" and a very inspirational high-energy "High Flying", showing his very good treble control ability and wide vocal range, so that the staff at the rehearsal site couldn't help but put down their work and start applauding. It is clear that Wang Si'an still has reservations when he knocks out the tournament.

The other singers have also used their housekeeping skills, for them, the champion has no way to think about it for the time being, and if he can enter the semi-finals, he will win.

Wu Karen, the operation director of the Orange Sky Planning Department, who was sitting in the audience, nodded frequently, especially when he looked at Wang Si'an and Xu Mengming with a smile. He especially likes Xu Mengming, who is malleable and famous, and the key is that he is also very obedient. As for Wang Si'an, he didn't know whose channel he had gone through, and Zhang Liyin, the director of CCTV, said that he wanted to support it.

When it was Xia Shamo's turn to take the stage, Meng Yun, an assistant sitting on the side, sneered and said, "Director, look, this little girl who doesn't know what to do is on stage!" To be honest, she is quite popular on the Internet now, and she looks handsome, which is a pity. ”

Wu Karen pinched her nails and flicked them twice, and said, "What's the pity?" Xu Mengming's singing is no worse than her, and the two have similar styles, to be honest, even if the company signs two, one will be scrapped. If she can't enter the top four or go to the Spring Festival Gala, the topic will gradually disappear, the popularity on the Internet is temporary, and without a continuous platform, it is difficult for her to maintain the topic. ”

While the two were talking, they saw Xia Shamo standing on the stage for a long time without singing, Wu Karen fixed his eyes, it turned out that dozens of people came on both sides of the T-shaped stage, all holding musical instruments, the director Fang Guomin was explaining something to two sound engineers and a recording engineer, and a white and pure chubby boy was also standing aside.

Wu Karen was puzzled and said to Meng Yun next to him: "Go and see what the hell they are doing?" ”

After a while, Meng Yun ran back and said, "Director, that little girl should use the orchestra to sing the film with live accompaniment!" ”

Wu Karen frowned and said, "For such a large-scale live broadcast, how could Director Fang allow them to use the orchestra to accompaniment?" ”

Meng Yun said: "Yes! The sound engineer and the recording engineer have a lot of opinions, if you want the orchestra to accompani, in order to collect the sound at least more than ten more microphones, but also with a microphone amplifier, the workload is a bit large, are complaining! ”

Wu Karen smiled and mocked: "This is also a rush to the doctor!" The orchestra accompanies the scene, and if you can't get it, it's the scene of the car accident. ”

About 20 minutes later, Xia Shamo had not yet started singing, and the people in the audience began to talk to each other, and at this moment they all saw both sides of the catwalk, a total of almost forty more students with various musical instruments, and everyone began to be curious.

Many reporters also crowded to the front to take pictures, and many contestants also stood aside and watched, but most of the time it was the sound engineer and recording engineer who auditioned.

As the minutes passed, and I don't know how long it was, the anticipation and patience of the onlookers were exhausted, and they all watched the group of students adjusting their positions and fiddling with their instruments, and everyone sat in their positions and talked about it.

Most of the contestants had never tried live accompaniment in a band, let alone an orchestra. Wang Si'an has worked with him and knows the difficulty, if the singer does not cooperate with the band for a long time, it is easy to be uncalm on the scene, and if he makes a slight mistake, it will cause a car accident. And without strong singing strength and skills, it is easy to lead the band, but to be "squeezed" by the band, and the sedan chair will become a stumbling block, and the live accompaniment of the orchestra not only cannot become a help, but becomes a resistance, which is one of the reasons why the TV station does not like to use live orchestra accompaniment.

When the sound engineer and recording engineer finished debugging, everyone saw that Xia Shamo's rehearsal was finally about to start, and they all looked at the stage intently. The students of the orchestra all put up a posture, the melody was good, but Xia Shamo sang very plainly, and was pressed by the orchestra throughout the whole process, and the song did not have any characteristics, and it was not as good as the first accompaniment singing, which disappointed the onlookers, such a performance was too ordinary.

Wu Karen said contemptuously: "I'll just say that the live accompaniment of the orchestra is not easy to control!" This table xiàn, we don't have to play routines to be eliminated. ”

Meng Yun thought of being scolded that day, and felt that his opportunity to get angry had come, and said excitedly: "I don't know which Shabi it was that day, and he said that he wanted me to get out of the entertainment industry, I have to go down and taunt and vent my anger." It was so aggrieved that day. ”

Wu Karen smiled and said: "Don't go too far, the other party has thirty or forty people, and I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

Meng Yun nodded and walked towards the stage. When Xia Shamo stepped off the stage, Meng Yun stopped Xia Shamo and asked unceremoniously, "Hey!" Who was the last person who answered the phone? ”

Xia Shamo had only seen Wu Karen and had not seen Meng Yun, so she looked at Meng Yun with some confusion and said, "Who are you?" ”

Meng Yun sneered and said: "Monday is my call to you, I am the assistant director of Orange Sky Entertainment, Meng Yun, I just came to see that Shabi and said that I wanted to get out of the entertainment industry." ”

Meng Yun spoke loudly, and some of the contestants and staff were alarmed. All looking in this direction.

Xia Shamo said lightly: "What's the matter, you tell me the same." You can take his words as if they were what I said. ”

Seeing that there were more people paying attention around him, Meng Yun said even more arrogantly: "Yo! Affectionate and righteous! But at your level, you still tell me to get out of the entertainment industry? Where do you get your confidence? Today's young people are not very capable and have a big voice, and now they are still hiding behind women and dare not come out, which is really cowardly. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu just gave three big red envelopes to the two sound engineers and recording engineers, and came out of the backstage, he had already heard the conversation between the two, but it was inconvenient to speak out just now, and after giving the red envelopes, he immediately stood up and said: "I am the one who answers the phone instead of Xia Shamo, **** Who are you looking for?" ”

Meng Yun said, "Just find it," Meng Yun realized that there was a language trap, stopped talking and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu and sneered: "Still delusional to enter the top four?" Look at your level, to be able to enter the top twelve are all **** luck, you don't want to give face, you have to find excitement. It's a good thing I didn't sign you guys who can only pretend to be Shabi, otherwise it would have been a shame for our orange sky. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and pulled Xia Shamo away, and said disapprerovingly: "What kind of thing, you are also worthy of talking to me." ”

Meng Yun's lungs were about to explode, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Pretend!" Give me a good outfit! You have to be able to mix in the entertainment industry in the future, Lao Tzu has your surname. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu's voice came from afar, "Don't, you have my surname, I feel ashamed." ”

As soon as Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo walked into the backstage, Fang Guomin came over.

Although he had explained in advance that he would not do his best in the rehearsal, Fang Guomin was still a little worried, and found Cheng Xiaoyu and said with some hesitation: "Classmate Cheng, I haven't seen your performance, to be honest, I still can't put my mind at ease!" Why don't you wait for you to perform alone? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu took out his iPod and headphones and handed them to Fang Guomin: "Director Fang, it's okay if you call me Xiaoyu, don't you worry, listen to the live recorded audio source." ”

Fang Guomin picked up Cheng Xiaoyu's mobile phone and clicked play, this rehearsal was recorded on Thursday afternoon, Xia Shamo changed her clothes and wore makeup, in fact, there was a more shocking live video, but Cheng Xiaoyu didn't show it to Fang Guomin. But listening to the sound in the headphones, although the recording effect was very average, it still satisfied Fang Guomin, and after listening, Fang Guomin asked: "Can the official performance be guaranteed at such a level?" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's only going to be better." ”

Fang Guomin nodded and said, "That's okay, there will be a stage tomorrow afternoon, you try to make preparations as well as possible, and you must not go wrong." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Director Fang, don't worry!" I promise you with my honor. ”

At the same time, Meng Yun added fuel and vinegar to Wu Karen again, saying that Cheng Xiaoyu had a bad attitude and was stubborn.

Wu Karen was also a little annoyed that the other party didn't take Orange Sky in the slightest, so she went to a few reporters who were interviewing at the scene, gave red envelopes, and asked them to give Xia Shamo some negative reports.

So in the evening of the same day, some websites published a "special report on the Youth Song Competition", "Xia Shamo's live accompaniment of the whole band, the coordination effect is disappointing", "Xu Mengming's table at the rehearsal site crushes Xia Shamo", "Xu Mengming and Wang Si'an waved amazingly, Xia Shamo's rehearsal for the top 12 self-destruction of the future".

The next day, "Beijing Daily" also published a related article "Top 12 On-site Rehearsal Scores, Wang and Xu are in the first and second places, and Xia Shamo is at the bottom".

There is even more turmoil on the Internet at the moment, but no one is looking forward to the "Youth Song Contest Rematch" that starts at 8 o'clock in the evening. (To be continued.) )8
