Yu Haiyang's number is A5527, and he played.

He had curly hair, he was wearing a T-shirt from the Nameless Tavern, and the studio lights were hitting him in the face, which was quite like that. Fang Yan stood aside, a little back.

The Wizard is coming!

For the "Chinese Singer" program, it was an unexpected huge surprise. The live broadcast had already cut to the Jiangdong Division, and the camera gave Fang Yan a meaningful close-up. And his mottled and worn-out guitar.

After 10 days of audition, the contestants knew that time was precious, and the judges didn't like to listen to nonsense, so there was basically no self-introduction.

Yu Haiyang sang "No Place for Shame", from the first album of the Black Panthers "Black Panther", which is perhaps the most famous work in the history of Chinese rock. It marks a time of confusion and restlessness.

The style of the Black Panthers is considered pop metal, after the release of their first stunning album. The lead singer Dou Wei withdrew, and since then, the Black Panther has become another band like a lost soul, which is getting worse and worse, and it is more embarrassing.

Dou Wei is an excellent singer and musician. After he left, he gradually moved away from business, and his music was as complex and eerie as a chameleon, becoming deep and expansive, with all kinds of elements.

Of course, many fans' impression of Dou Wei is still stuck in early albums such as "Black Dream" and "Sunny Day", including the earliest "Black Panther".

Faye Wong's style has a deep imprint of Dou Wei's early days.

Many years later, Dou Wei occasionally performed on stage at music festivals, and fans would collectively sing "No Place for Self-Shame" offstage, which made him very embarrassed.

Fang Yan used his right hand to control the sound, playing the xylophone in the way of an electric guitar, and the picks quickly swept the strings, and the chords were shiny, fierce and fierce.

The wild sound exploded, tearing through the air.

Thundered! The quiet studio instantly became enthusiastic, and as soon as the guitar sounded, the three male judges all turned their heads in unison.

The clicks of the damper are clean, and when the strings hiss, they are extremely rough and wild. The guitar roared angrily, instantly bringing up the atmosphere.

Yu Haiyang sang: "In the crowd of people, there are you and me......"

The difficulty of "No Place to Shame" is not small, although the highest is only A2, it is a high note as soon as it opens, from beginning to end, it tests the singer's explosiveness.

What's even more difficult is that this song must be sung to stretch and relax, otherwise it will look very earthy and stunned.

Auditions are too difficult, and song selection becomes particularly important. The song fits well with the bright timbre of the ocean, and he's been grinding his voice all the month of June, and it's finally a lot more relaxed. He is far from a professional singer, but with the help of Fang Yan, it is no problem to sing only one song to fool the past.

"But I never felt it, I have no place to be ashamed~~~Uh~~"

After singing it again, 2 minutes. The judges didn't even tap the button.

The fat judge said, "Pretty perfect. ”

The bespectacled judge nodded and sighed: "I feel like I'm back in the 90s, it's really nostalgic." ”

The judges, who are in their 50s, also said, "I hope you get good results in the future." ”

Passed?

Yu Haiyang was the first to pass the audition today. Although he was a little confident, he was also dizzy for a while, he rushed to the judges and shook hands one by one, saying, "Thank you, teacher, I will work hard......"

"Huh."

Yu Haiyang is gone.

"Hey, what about people?" The judges lifted their glasses and looked around. They also wanted to chat with Fang Yan, but Fang Yan sneaked out just now.

“……”

The second player to take on the stage was Timber. He also wore a nameless tavern t-shirt and bowed to the judges with a smile. Previously, in order to help the Scrap Band pass the audition, everyone discussed a plan. In the plan, Ding Bo is the role of cannon fodder.

There is a timing board in the studio, and as soon as the contestants sing, the timing begins. Ding Bo wanted to go all out and hold on a little longer. He sang "Under Helan Mountain" by the Suyang Band.

"At the foot of Helan Mountain, a flat river, flowers fall and bloom. The wind blows through ......"

"Dididi!"

Whew, Ding Bo held on for 14 seconds. He nodded, and was about to step down the stage, only to hear the judge teacher in his 50s ask: "Ding Bo, you are also from the Scrap Wood Band?" ”

"Yes. I play bass. ”

"What about the wizards?"

Ding Bo glanced at the door of the studio and said, "He's outside, so he's coming in." ”

"Okay, thanks. You go down first. ”

There was also a player A5529 behind Ding Bo, but the player did not come. After the audition of "Chinese Singer" began, some people directly gave up the competition.

Yang Zhenyu walked into the studio. His little heart was pounding, he was too nervous to move, his breathing was hard, and his legs were trembling slightly. He glanced back at Fang Yan.

"Brother, think of the Nameless Tavern." Fang Yan whispered.

Tavern...... Yang Zhenyu is better. He sang many times in the tavern and gained a lot of experience.

The judges in their 50s looked down at the materials and asked, "Yang Zhenyu, are you an Internet celebrity who lost his soul?" ”

"Yes."

"The lead vocalist of the Scrapwood Band, oh, all three of you are in one band?"

"Yes."

The old judge was afraid that Fang Yan would disappear again, so he asked, "Wizard, uh, why did you come out again." ”

The camera immediately focused on him. Fang Yan replied with a smile: "I play the piano for my friend." ”

The fat judge was amused, and the fat finger pointed to the exit of the studio, and asked: "The classmate who played the bass just now, why didn't you give him an accompaniment, he is not your friend?" ”

Fang Yan shook his head: "His level is too poor, he definitely won't be able to pass." ”

“……”

The judges looked at each other. Having said that, could this thin and tall lead guitar also pass the audition? "Chinese Singer" only looks at the singing of the contestants, no matter how well you play the guitar, it is useless.

The fat judge continued: "This is like this, the audition spot is very precious, we only pay attention to his singing, not the guitar, you understand what I mean, right? ”

"I know."

"Okay, let's go."

Fang Yan nodded.

The three judges are all university teachers, with vicious eyes, working at high intensity for 10 days in a row, and they have long been aesthetically tired in the face of all kinds of strange sounds. The three of them looked at each other a few times, and they all nodded slightly, reaching a consensus.

Well, can't let him pass! Shoot as soon as there is a flaw.

Fang Yan's fingers moved in the high position, the pick swept the strings, and a dexterous high-pitched melody sounded. Unlike the heavy metal style just now, the guitar is light and responsive.

This is the prelude to "Yellow Ledbetter".

This is a song by the band Pearl Jam (Pearl Sauce), which was originally an outtake song (a song not included in the album) of the first god-level album "Ten", but after its release, it became a huge hit and became the band's masterpiece.

Pearl Jam was one of the representatives of Seattle grunge in the 1990s, and unlike the short-lived Nirvana, their musical life continues to this day, selling almost 60 million albums worldwide.

"Yellow Ledbetter" is a bizarre song, it's an unfinished song, the meaning is vague, and it doesn't even have full lyrics. When the band performs live, they always improvise some lyrics.

The chorus has a line of "I don't know if it's going to be a coffin or a bag".

It's an anti-war song. When the Gulf War broke out in 1991, young American soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and if they were killed, they would be put in coffins and transported back home. Sometimes, the body is also in a bag.

The chords of "Yellow Ledbetter" are simple, intense and soft, and with the super penetrating voice of lead singer Eddie Vedder, it is thrilling. It has been sung for many years.

Yang Zhenyu's voice was very ordinary, he waited for 8 bars before he started singing, but Fang Yan's guitar was still in Solo and did not change the rhythm.

"It's ......"

The judges were all confused and squinted in listening.

The song dragged on for a long time, and the English words were indistinct, like a dark light. The bass line of the guitar stops inside the chord, and the melody is solid, enveloping the song from different directions, intertwined, and inseparable.

This is completely different from the accompaniment of playing "No Land for Shame" just now. The guitar is the second key of the song, and some key notes have strict counterpoint, and when the song stops, it immediately deviates, pointing east and west, and each time it jumps out of the judges' expectations.

That's a good sound.

The judges with glasses thought.

"Oh~~~"

Yang Zhenyu had a long "oh" word, which dragged on for 4 bars, and he performed very well. He was so busy reviewing that he didn't have time to practice at all, so Fang Yan came up with this method. Rearranged "Yellow Ledbetter" and replaced the accompaniment with a super strong Solo, forcing it to last 2 minutes.

Solo throughout the journey.

The judges all felt that Yang Zhenyu stopped on the edge of danger, he sang averagely, but he worked seamlessly with the guitar, and it seemed particularly perfect.

The judge, who is in his 50s, suddenly raised his hand and hung on the button for a long time, still not taking a picture.

"Reluctantly, let's listen to it a little longer." He thought.

"Sounds good, sounds good." The fat judges also wanted to. "I could listen to it all day."

sang the chorus, Yang Zhenyu turned into a falsetto, a long note floated out, slowly pushed up a small second, and the guitar roared.

Two minutes have passed.

Every time the three judges heard that there was a mistake in the singing, they had the urge to tap the button, but every time they raised their hands, they stopped in the middle and never beat them. It's very simple, it's just reluctant to shoot.

The singing was accompanied by a guitar, and they were excited and happy.

The guitar didn't stop, and played the theme of Solo from the beginning, Yang Zhenyu didn't hesitate, and sang it for the second time.

The melody of the guitar becomes distant, telling the endless loss and anger in the hearts of a generation of young people.

"It's so good, how nice it would be to be able to play like this all the time." The judges were thinking.

……

After 5 minutes of playing, Yang Zhenyu "oh" for a long time, shut up and didn't sing, and listened to the guitar blankly. Fang Yan also felt that it was almost over, and swept the strings violently, ending neatly.

The number on the timer is 5 minutes and 14 seconds. More than double the stipulated time.

The judges slowly came to their senses, found out that they were judges, and settled down, not knowing what to say.

"Uh, wizard, did you improvise?"

Fang Yan replied honestly: "No, we have been preparing for a long time for this audition competition. ”

"Oh."

"No wonder ......"

The fat judge looked at the two colleagues and asked, "Did you pass?" ”

The judge, who is in his 50s, nodded and said, "According to the rules of the competition, he passed." ”

"yes."

"But ......"

The judges all knew that Yang Zhenyu was a bit suspected of cheating in the exam. If it weren't for that guitar, he would certainly have lasted less than 30 seconds. Forget it, just let him pass. The wizard can play Solo for 5 minutes, and the "Chinese Singer" program is already very profitable.

The judge with glasses said: "Netizens call you a wizard, do you think this name is appropriate?" ”

Fang Yan didn't expect to answer the question, thought for a while and said, "I think, well, music is magic, and everyone who likes music is a wizard." ”

It seems to make sense, at least those 5 minutes were magic. The judges were silent. After a few seconds, the judges asked, "Is there anything you would like to say to the TV audience?" ”

"Everyone is welcome to come to the Unnamed Tavern on Bar Street, and everyone is welcome to buy our T-shirts."

“……”

Fang Yan finished the advertisement and left with Yang Zhenyu. When the next singer entered, the judges were still in a daze. They are all professional teachers, and their performance is relatively calm, but the audience in front of the TV has long been boiling.

The finely choreographed tune, coupled with the bland singing voice, actually sang for 5 minutes. According to the official statistics of "Chinese Singer", the average singing time of the audition contestants is 9 seconds.
