April 10th, today is Friday, and the school will still have normal classes, but because of the reason to participate in the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, Chen Lang asked the head teacher Dongfang Xin for leave, and Dongfang Xin and many teachers were invited to the meeting by the principal before.

The school specializes in the education method of Chen Lang, a star student, and finally came to the conclusion that Chen Lang should be given as much convenience as possible, as long as the grades do not drop too much, Chen Lang's own arrangements will be made, which will be beneficial to Chen Lang and the school, and the recent media hype about Chen Lang's participation in the singing competition is boiling, and everyone knows it, so Dongfang Xin did not obstruct it, and nodded and agreed.

Chen Lang still got up early, practiced, had breakfast, and then got into a taxi amid the encouragement of the family. By the time Chen Lang arrived in front of the TVB building, there were already many contestants gathered in front of the door. And when Chen Lang just got out of the car and walked inside, he suddenly asked a fragrance, and then saw Tang Xiaomei standing in front of him prettyly, "Why are you here, don't you have to go to class?" ”

"If you can take a leave of absence, we can also take a leave of absence." Tang Xiaomei was smiling, very pure and attractive.

"We? Chen Jian is also here? When Chen Lang heard this, he was a little moved, but as soon as he heard us, it is estimated that Chen Jian must have followed. As a result, before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Jian not far away while eating breakfast and beckoning to him, and he was not alone, Wang Chengling and Yu Song also followed.

"Why are you all here? The teacher even agreed that you would all take leave? Chen Lang was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, it's all your girlfriend's ability, we're just following suit." Chen Jian squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile, Wang Chengling and Yu Song also nodded yes, Tang Xiaomei blushed by this title, and Chen Lang thought that his girlfriend's family was so rich, so he knew it, and then everyone went to the TV station.

Chen Lang was taken to the back of a recording hall by the staff, while Tang Xiaonu and Chen Jian were arranged to the audience, and there was a live audience at the wireless program recording site, but because of the venue, there were only about 200 people.

Chen Lang was assigned a number plate with 1-60 written on it, and the wireless staff explained that this was because there were too many people who signed up for the competition, a full 236 people.

I had no choice but to divide everyone into 4 groups, according to the standard of 60 people in one group, the first 3 groups were all 60 people, and the fourth group was 56 people. The four judges and two producers with wireless were divided into four groups and began to conduct the general selection of the preliminary round.

Because of the large number of people, the preliminary competition adopts a direct elimination system, and the three judges in each group, mainly the four judges have a veto power, no need to score, and it is directly the evaluation results of the main judges to determine the participation of the participants.

There are 8 places in each group, and the final four groups will determine the top 32 to participate in the semi-finals, which will be recorded live and broadcast live on TV, and the final will also be broadcast live.

The semi-finals of the top 32 will select the top 12 to participate in the finals, and then select the top two to participate in the finals held at Taipei TV, where 16 players from 8 countries and regions compete for the final championship.

Chen Lang was the last contestant in the first group, and he was very excited about the first step to realize his idea, but at the same time a little nervous.

Usually singing on campus radio and evening parties is not competitive, this time to participate in the competition, the preliminary round or the knockout round, although Chen Lang practiced hard, and there was an original advantage, but in case of abnormal performance, there was no chance.

Chen Lang felt that his mind was chaotic for a while, but then he had to take a deep breath and simply practice martial arts, so that his emotions stabilized, and as for the strange eyes of others, he should not have seen it.

The people waiting were actually very nervous, but they were all pretending to be calm.

At this time, the wait is like an ordeal, watching some of the people who come back from the front desk hang their heads, everyone is a little happy in their hearts, which means that their chances have increased by one by sixty, but at the same time they are a little gloomy, because this is likely to be their final result.

also saw the person who came back with an excited face, everyone knew that he had passed, and everyone was envious, jealous and hateful.

"Why hasn't Lang Lang come out yet, it's really boring." Chen Jian saw that many players had come out, but Chen Lang was a little anxious before he appeared.

"There are too many people who participated in the registration this time, didn't you notice that they are all divided into four groups just now, and there are also number plates, Chen Lang should be at the back, maybe you have to wait for a long time." Wang Chengling said unhurriedly while watching the contestants sing.

"No, I'll have to inquire about the situation." After saying that, Chen Jian sneaked out, fortunately, the staff were also watching the contestants sing, and the management was not very strict, so Chen Jian really entered the lounge behind the stage, and found Chen Lang, the first thing Chen Jian did was to grab Chen Lang's number plate and take a look, and when he saw that it was No. 60, he said directly, "Why is it No. 60, you won't be the last, right?" ”

Chen Lang felt that someone was pulling his number plate, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Chen Jian, "Why did you come to the lounge?" ”

"The people in front of you are singing boring, we are all here for you, it looks like you will have to wait until the afternoon." Chen Jian pursed his lips and said.

"Looks like that's the case, why don't we go out first, and come back after lunch." Chen Lang thinks too, there are a total of sixty people, on average, it takes at least 5 minutes for each person, and sixty people is 5 hours, plus the judges must rest, so when it is Chen Lang's turn, it will definitely be afternoon.

"Okay, let's go first." Chen Jian also had this intention, so the two of them came out, and called Tang Xiaomei out of the recording hall again, and left for lunch together.

Chen Lang didn't go too far, found a cleaner restaurant and sat down.

"Lang Lang, what song are you going to sing?" Wang Chengling asked on the side.

"yes, is it a new song?" Yu Song and the others were also very curious, wondering if Chen Lang had a new song.

"I'm going to sing 'Mice Love Rice', and the new song is there, but I'm going to sing it again in the next competition." This is also Chen Lang's own plan, and during this time, Chen Lang was also collecting information about the Hong Kong music scene.

The current music scene is the popular music of the early 80s, with simple melodies and simple orchestrations. The singer also relies entirely on his singing skills and the texture of the song, it is not very important whether he looks like an idol or not, and he doesn't have to think about whether he wants to sing and dance at all, this is an era of listening to songs with his ears, and almost all of them look at the world with tapes.

At the same time, the originality of this era is not very strong, most singers are keen on covers and adaptations, but fortunately, the industrial mechanism of the entire music scene has been established and perfected, so the Hong Kong music scene is still in full swing.

And Chen Lang is the main singer-songwriter, which will make everyone feel refreshing, they will feel that this is a genius, plus he is very young, and the creations are all high-quality or even classics, so there will be a lot of halo bonuses.

There is also Chen Lang's choice to prefer strong song and dance music, with many dynamic and neat movements when singing, which is not common in the current music world, such a strong song and dance is really popular in a few years after the release of Leslie Cheung's "Monica" album will quickly become popular in Hong Kong, Chen Lang has to take the lead, use his youth idol image, fill the fantasy in the hearts of the majority of teenagers, and drive the frenzy of song and dance.

At the same time, the current Hong Kong music scene can be said to have just started from scratch and is developing rapidly. The singer Xu Guanjie let people know the personal charm of the singer, and Rowan made the public start to pay attention to a person and his songs, they were big stars in the original sense.

In addition, the operation mechanism of the entire industry has been established, and the economic prosperity has led to the development of the entertainment industry, and in the music industry, the gradual opening of the packaging era is a direct reflection of the star-studded mid-to-late 80s, and idols leading the new trend.

If Hui Guanjie created a new trend in Hong Kong pop music, then Alan Tam is a master inheritor and developer, starting from the members of the Wen Na band who are not particularly valued, to the mid-80s Alan Tam finally struggled to the position of "king of kings" and became a mythical figure in Hong Kong that no one can surpass.

At this time, fans began to cheer for a singer's every move, smile and cheek, care about his girlfriend, his birthday, his blood type, weight, lay flowers at his concert, scream loudly, etc., etc., and even later when "Tan Zhang competed for hegemony", the fans of the two factions were incompatible, either noisy or noisy, insulting each other, holding high large color photos of their idols, tearing up the photos of each other's idols, and even mixing with their hands.

What's more serious is that on Leslie Cheung's birthday, a note was posted in the company that read: "Leslie Cheung died of AIDS." This conflict continued until 1988, when Alan Tam suddenly announced that he would say goodbye to the podium at the award ceremony of the top 10 Chinese pop songs. Some fans jumped up and scolded on the spot: "It's all to blame on the damn Leslie Cheung!" The madness of the fans can be seen.

And now it's 1981, and the hottest ones are Xu Guanjie, Guan Zhengjie and Luo Wen. Alan Tam only really rose after Xu Guanjie and Guan Zhengjie jumped jobs in 1984, so as to become the king of kings, so now Chen Lang is standing at a turning point.

If Chen Lang becomes an instant hit, he is likely to surpass Xu Guanjie and replace Alan Tam as the first myth in the music world, so Chen Lang has to enter the music scene as soon as possible, choose "original" and dance vigorously, and want to gain the main force of the majority of fans, that is, the favor of teenagers.
