July 1 was Saturday, Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan took the high-speed train to visit Ma Shengguang in Hangzhou.

The weather was very hot, Yuan Yuan wore a very short black skirt, two white long legs were exposed, and she was shivering by the cold air in the carriage.

"Cold, cold. Yuan Yuan shuddered.

The carriages were still full, and the train moved silently, speeding out of the city and speeding through the summer wilderness. Fang Yan found several flight attendants, and finally borrowed a small green velvet blanket and covered Yuan Yuan.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's still cold. ”

Fang Yan put his hand on her lap, his skin was slippery, still a little cold. The air conditioner was turned on too hard.

"We're going to have exams next week, so what if we catch a cold. 10 courses. 10 courses!"

"So pathetic?"

"Yes. Yuan Yuan snorted, a little sullen. But at the thought of going on vacation soon, she was a little looking forward to it. "Let's hang out together, shall we? ”

"Where do you want to go?"

These days, Fang Yan's mind is all on the mysterious score, and although there is no progress, he is reluctant to put it down. He estimated that it would be a few years before these unfinished pieces were all written. However, accompanying a girlfriend is also a serious matter.

Because T-shirts are selling well, everyone is very wealthy, and there is no pressure to travel.

"I want to think about it. Hawaii, New York, Venice, Paris. And Tokyo ......" Yuan Yuan lowered her head, snapped her fingers, and looked for places to travel on a map that didn't exist.

“……”

Fang Yan also wanted to go abroad. But he doesn't have a passport yet, so he needs to go back to the place where he is registered to get one. He thought for a moment and asked, "How about we go to Yanjing?"

"Okay. ”

Yuan Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and her legs moved uneasily. She knew that Fang Yan's father and mother had died, but she could go home with him...... There are still some significant implications. She asked, "Are you going to sweep the graves of your parents?"

"Well, take a look, you go with me. ”

Yuan Yuan said in a low voice: "Good ......"

It's time to go back and check it out. Tomb sweeping is not important, just the form. After so many years, Fang Yan is used to keeping his thoughts about his parents in his heart.

There are a lot of things to do back in Yanjing. The parents' house needs to be cleaned up. Shen Boyuan: They have all graduated from college, and they are also going to get together. The ketchup company also has to go around to familiarize himself with the environment, and Ji Shanshan has already urged him several times.

Fang Yan thought as he touched Yuan Yuan's leg under the blanket with his right hand, feeling her smooth skin gradually become warmer.

Yuan Yuan whispered: "Don't touch it, there's nothing to touch, it's all meat." ”

“……”

"Really. I've known you for so long, and I've grown a lot of meat. Yes, here and here. ”

“……”

"Bad guy, play with your phone for me. ”

"Good. ”

Yuan Yuan took the phone, unlocked it, and clicked on a red APP icon.

"Home of Chinese Singers".

This APP is a service application specially made by the "Chinese Singer" TV station for the contestants, and it is not open to the public. After the registration is approved, each player will be given its download address.

After logging in with their ID and password, players can see all kinds of real-time information about the competition, and there is a small forum. However, none of the contestants posted on the forum, which was very deserted.

On Fang Yan's personal information page, in addition to the basic information, an ID number is also displayed.

A26029, he was the latest to sign up and the last number.

Audition time: TBD.

Yang Zhenyu, Ding Bo, and Yu Haiyang signed up together, and the numbers were all next to each other, and they had already been given the time to participate in the audition recording, on the afternoon of July 11. Yang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief, he had already finished the exam at that time.

"Why is it still to be determined?" asked Yuan Yuan.

"I was the last to sign up, and I guess it's going to be September. Let's go out and have fun. ”

The audition for "Chinese Singer" has been officially launched today.

The whole of China is divided into 7 major regions, and there is also an overseas competition area, which is located in Los Angeles in the United States. The overseas competition has the smallest number of applicants, with just over 6,000 applicants.

SS's Music TV is broadcasting the audition process live.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, Fang Yan carried his guitar and Yuan Yuan to the outside of Old Man Ma's community. The atmosphere of the city seems to be a little quirky. At half past nine in the morning, the streets were still empty, cars and pedestrians were scarce, and the whole city seemed to have not woken up yet.

"What about people?" asked Yuan Yuan.

People stayed at home to watch the audition of "Chinese Singer".

In this era, people are accustomed to watching videos and movies on the Internet. Television is an old medium, and its charm has long been much less than it used to be. But as soon as "Chinese Singer" came out, the hegemony of TV seemed to be back.

After several months of hype, "Chinese Singer" has not yet started, and it has become a national-level TV program. This morning, every family was in front of the TV to watch the first day of auditions.

Live broadcast is the core resource of the TV station, and it will never be given up to the network company. Users want to be the first to watch the game, only through the TV.

"Uncle Ma!"

"Oh. ”

“…… What's wrong with you?"

Old man Ma looked unhappy and was sitting on a garden bench, guarding a cup of tea. He sat barefoot cross-legged on a chair and fanned himself with a large straw hat. He said: "Your aunt wants to watch that "Chinese Singer", I can't stand it, so she said a few words on the side, and she blew me out." ”

“……”

Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan have come several times, and they have long been familiar with each other. Yuan Yuan let go of Fang Yan's hand, swished into the house from the garden, changed into a pair of slippers, and ran into the living room. I saw Aunt Ma sitting on the sofa, holding a plate of melon seeds, and was very happy in front of the TV.

"Why are you late today? girl, you didn't see the opening, but it's fun. ”

Seeing Yuan Yuan enter the door, Aunt Ma took out a large bottle of home-squeezed cold watermelon juice from the refrigerator and poured it into a straight glass. She was one-sided, but her eyes were not off the TV.

"Xiao Yan, don't stand stupidly, follow in and see. I'm here alone, it's cool and cool. Old man Ma sighed and said, looking very pitiful.

"Hmm. ”

"Chinese Singer" 8 competition areas auditioned at the same time, with a total of 8 on-site signals, and the director switched back and forth in 8 scenes. Every 15 minutes, a 1-minute ad is inserted.

Ji Shanshan once told Fang Yan that in order to be a "Chinese Singer", SS TV's family funds were hollowed out, and it was only then that an unprecedented monster-level program was made.

But at present, "Chinese Singer" is very successful and will not lose money.

The TV is showing the audition scene of the A division, that is, the Jiangdong division. A chubby aunt just walked into the camera, cleared her throat, and was ready to sing.

Fang Yan glanced at the TV, and his first impression was: there are a lot of advertisements.

Behind the contestants, there are logos of various brands: Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Coca-Cola, IKEA, ...... There are also Nescafe, milk, various mobile phone brands, and a whole wall of flowers and greenery, which is dazzling to watch.

It's ridiculous and cheesy.

The scrolling captions at the bottom of the screen introduce the personal information of the contestants, but from time to time, an advertising slogan is inserted. On the screen, there are prompts from sponsors from time to time.

Opposite the contestants, on the judges' table, there were also various brands of dolls, iced tea, Red Bull, yogurt, herbal tea and other drinks.

It's less like a music contest and more like a supermarket shelf. Anyway, "Chinese Singer" must have made a lot of money. Fang Yan thought that if he knew that this was the case, he should have asked Feng Lu to buy him more gifts.

The beautiful assistant was still mopping the floor in the tavern.

The audition studio is small, the decoration is simple, fine, high-end, and the lighting is very bright. If you don't have so many sponsor logos, it's nice to look at.

There is no microphone in front of the contestant. If the singing volume is not loud enough, I am afraid that it will not be heard clearly on TV.

"Bad guy, sit. Yuan Yuan patted the sofa.

"I'll just stand and watch. ”

The three judges sat on the swivel chairs, smiling one by one, looking at the big mom contestants. None of these three people knew Fang Yan. Aunt Ma said that all three of them are vocal music teachers in the conservatory.

There is a pop-up window on the screen that displays the player's information. The aunt stood in the center of the stage, bowed deeply, and said, "Dear judges, I am contestant A00042, and my name is Guan Ying." Everyone calls me Fat Auntie. ”

"Hello Fat Auntie. A judge with glasses responded.

"I'm going to ...... you below"

Another judge in his 50s suddenly interrupted the aunt, waved his hand and said, "Sing it." ”

"I'm sorry. The fat aunt was interrupted, slightly sluggish, but regained her confident smile at the thought that the TV was going live. She took a deep breath and sang an old song, "The Crooked Moon."

"Distant Night Sky ......"

"Drop!"

"Drop!"

"Drop!"

In 2 seconds, the aunt sang 5 words, the first sentence was not finished, the 3 judges all slapped a huge red button in front of them, a burst of red light flashed in the studio, and the theme melody of "Chinese Singer" sounded.

Fang Yan was messy and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Knocked out! Aunt Ma watched TV for a long time, and she already understood the rules of the program and introduced it to Fang Yan. "There's only one button for each judge: Eliminate. The contestants must sing for 2 minutes on stage. When a person presses a button, it goes to pending. More than one person presses that button, and it is directly eliminated. ”

"Forehead ......"

There are too many players. In order to save time, "Chinese Singer" adopts a strange rule. Under the watchful eye of the judges, the contestants must persist for more than 2 minutes before they can pass the audition.

This fat aunt only sang for 2 seconds.

However, Fang Yan felt that it was not wrong to eliminate the fat aunt. She's out of tune.

"Well, thank you, teacher. Although the fat aunt understood this rule, she was also completely messy at this time, she stiffened for 2 seconds, bowed, and walked through the other door, and the next contestant immediately came to the stage.

The show "Chinese Singer" is really different. There are no long introductions to the contestants in other shows, cheering for relatives and friends, crying about personal experiences and other vulgar scenes, which are crisp and neat, and every second is very exciting.

Fang Yan looked at the various fancy sponsor advertisements on TV, and suddenly felt less disobedient.

Aunt Ma grabbed a handful of melon seeds, put them in Yuan Yuan's little hand, and asked with a smile, "How is it, it looks good, right?"
