Chapter 34 034 World Music Festival
Huang Tian and the four of them didn't say a word about what they encountered in the musical instrument store before, and after a crazy and short experience in the United States, everyone already trusted Huang Tian very much. As for the woman, no one even mentioned it.
They had dinner, and then bought some tables, chairs, benches, and kettles and other daily necessities, after all, in that empty storeroom, practice also needs to rest, so some things have to be added, and the things in the house have long been sold by the landlord, so everyone has to buy new ones.
When they got home, they waited for a while, and at five o'clock, the person who sent the drum kit from the musical instrument store came, helped assemble the drum kit in the house, and then left without drinking the water, they made money from the store, so they didn't have to pay for Huang Tian, and now after delivering things, they got off work, so they didn't have time to be polite with Huang Tian, and went home directly.
"Where are you going to stay when you get home?" Huang Tian looked at the sky and asked Liu Guang and Li Le.
"When we came, we had already agreed with our family, so we would arrive at school early, and I also had the key to the school dormitory, and we would go back to school later." Liu Guang said with a smile. Because his family and Li Lejia are far away from the school, they have lived in the school since they were in high school.
"Okay, let's play casually in a while, let Xiaole get familiar with his new drum kit, and then, starting tomorrow, we will prepare our own songs." Huang Tian said as he opened the guitar case. One; Root; Read; The novel yb+du and the others also laughed, and began to prepare their instruments skillfully, and after a while, the muffled sound of instruments came out of their small storeroom.
Before dark, Huang Tian returned home and watched TV with his parents for a while, originally several times, Huang Tian wanted to tell his parents that he wanted to participate in the competition, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the tragedy of the previous life, and Huang Tian closed his mouth again. Although they know that they will not repeat the tragedy of their previous life, their parents do not know, if they know that they are still going to participate in music competitions at the critical time of the third year of high school, they will definitely be worried, even if their grades are stable, they will not say it, but they know that they practice music every day, they will still be worried. So Huang Tian thought about it for a long time, but decided to hide it from his parents for the time being.
The next day, after breakfast, Huang Tian rushed to the warehouse, and after a while, the other three also arrived one after another, and then sat in the warehouse and waited for Liu Guang to explain to everyone the rules of the selection competition and what to pay attention to.
Because such a world competition only happens once every ten years, although I know about the blow, I still don't know much about some specific things. Liu Guang found time yesterday to take charge of making a copy of the materials for this selection competition from the Internet, he usually has a lot of Internet access and knows the most news among these people, so it is best for him to explain it to everyone.
"Let me first talk about the scale and organizers of this competition, although everyone has heard a lot, but you definitely don't know the specifics, I will read it to you, you will know the difference between the nature of this competition and those previous music auditions.
First of all, this is a worldwide music competition, participating countries include, China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, South Korea, etc., and there are many, anyway, there are basically countries with record companies to participate, of course, this competition is not distinguished by country, this competition from the first to the present is by the main board of record companies, and there are more and more record companies participating in the organizers, and now this competition is basically jointly organized by global record companiesAlthough all countries are very supportive, but do not participate, that is to say, this is a music competition held by the record company itself, and the governments of various countries only support policies, but never interfere, so as to ensure the entertainment and commerciality of the competition, dilute the distinction between national governments, and only use music as the standard, making the competition more open, fair, just, free and authoritative.
The competition is divided into three zones, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Singers from all over the world will be split into these three regions, and each region will produce nine places, making a total of 27 places from all over the world to compete in the final round of the World Championship. It's still a long way off, so let's not talk about it for now, but let's talk about our Asian competition.
Under the Asian zone, it is divided into the Chinese zone, the Japanese zone, and the Korean zone, and singers from other countries scattered in the Asian zone can freely sign up for the contest in these three zones.
And this competition is divided into three levels, the singer registration conditions for the first-level competition are: the total album sales released by the singer reach one million copies, if you can't reach it, then you are not eligible to participate in this competition, of course, in addition to the minimum requirements, there is an upper limit for this level of competition, that is: the total sales of albums released by the singer are within 10 million copies. That is to say, when your total record sales reach 10 million, you can't participate in this competition, because your total record sales have reached 10 million, then your strength and influence are already very good, even if this is the total sales of many albums combined, it is extraordinary in the music world. Of course, if it is a singer who has achieved 10 million sales of a single album, such a person, a world-class singer with a diamond record will not lower his price to participate in any music competition. In addition to the above two conditions, in order to participate in this first-class competition, the organizer also requires singers to be under the age of 40. In other words, if you are over 40 years old, you will not be able to participate in this contest even if you meet the previous two requirements. It can be said that this world's competition is more to allow newcomers and young people to have a better development platform, through this condition is actually to exclude those singers who are not young but still have no big development, so that under these three conditions, the singers who participate in the first-level competition are all famous, but they have not reached the world level, and these people are not very old, and there is still potential to be tapped, maybe they can take this opportunity to break out of the world and become famous in the world. Speaking of this, Liu Guang took the information, took a short rest, drank a few sips of water, and then continued. Apparently, he likes to talk about these things.
"I just talked about the first level of the three levels of this competition, and now I am talking about the second level, this level of competition, the entry requirement is that it must be a candidate recommended by the record company, and each record company, regardless of size, can only recommend one place, whether it is a band, a group or an individual, it is a place. And these recommended candidates must be newcomers, that is, newcomers who have not released an album or a song, of course, you participate in activities and sing these don't count, as long as you haven't officially released a record through the distribution company, then you are considered a newcomer. This is also the cultivation of new people naked.
The above two levels basically have nothing to do with us, and the next third level is the level competition we want to participate in. This level is set for those of us, as long as you are not signed to a record company or have released a song, you can participate in this level of competition, and there is no age limit, but the rules of the competition are similar for these three levels.
Now let's talk about our level of competition, when we didn't enter the national competition, we participated in the knockout round, that is to say, on the spot, the judges decide whether you are promoted or go home, this round can sing any song, and then the second round of requirements must be new songs, as for the type of song, it can be anything, and then the third round, that is, the last round before entering the national competition, the requirement of this theory is that the theme of the participating songs is given by the judges in advance, and then everyone performs their new songs under the same theme, Four people were then selected as contestants for the national competition.
By the way, finally speaking, our third-level national selection competition has a total of 12 sub-divisions in the country, namely City B, City S, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Kunming, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In other words, there are a total of 48 places in the national competition, and the closest to us is the Wuhan division, and we can get there in an hour, which is good news.
The others are some trivial things, and it is not too late for us to encounter them, and if we can't meet them, we will naturally ignore them. Then, it's the national competition, the national competition is divided into four groups, each group has twelve places, and then the top two in each group are selected to form eight players, and finally four representatives of the Huaxia District are selected through the competition to participate in the third-level competition in Asia. The first round of covers of old songs is fine, the second round wants a new song, and the theme of the third round is announced by the jury when we participate in the first round, but there are two new songs at once, and a few of us can create them in Xiaotian, this time is not long, Xiaotian, have you ever written a new song before? If there is a suitable one, we can rehearse it earlier. ”
"Don't worry about the new song, I'll figure it out, everyone cheer up, believe me, our new song will not be worse than others, it will only be better than theirs!" Although Huang Tian has long known about the world's most influential music festival, but it is the first time he has heard such a detailed thing, because the time is still early, he is not in a hurry, so he has not studied it carefully, and now after listening to Liu Guang's introduction, Huang Tian feels that this is simply the World Cup of music, but according to the prosperity of the world's entertainment industry, as well as the scale of this competition, perhaps, this is a more influential world competition than the World Cup.
