The TV station is a silver-gray fashion building, with a huge logo hanging on the top of the building, and in front of the building is an open square and parking lot, at this time many people gathered in the square, and the parking lot is also full of cars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Via had thought they had arrived early, but now that she looked, many of them had come much earlier than they did.
"You'll have to go to the front to get the number," Ms. Mary pointed to the front table, where a few uniformed staff members were standing.
"I'll go."
Dick unfastened his guitar, handed it to Vea, and strode forward.
Other applicants also came in groups, accompanied by relatives and friends, some of them sat on the lawn, some stood together chatting, some were meeting new friends, and some were practicing songs impromptuly, and it was bustling everywhere.
Looking at the youthful faces, Wei Ya did not feel the pressure of competition, but felt very fresh. It's a lot more lively and fun than a cold school.
After a while, Dick came back with the number plate, "We're on the forty-sixth." ”
Teacher Mary was speechless, "It's not even nine o'clock, and it's all in the forties, and it seems that there are more people signing up this year." ”
has been popular for three consecutive years, creating dozens of civilian stars, which naturally gives countless ordinary people who dream of becoming stars the motivation and hope.
"But you must be fine," said Miss Mary confidently, and the friend she had visited last night was the musician who had praised Via's singing as a natural sound, and Howard Portman, who was also one of the judges today.
Although there are many people, but the speed of selection is very fast, there are constantly applicants entering, and people are constantly coming out, Wei Ya roughly calculated, everyone only stayed in the TV station for an average of five minutes, some people were less than five minutes, most of them were full of confidence when they went in, but they were depressed when they came out, you can imagine that the judges have high requirements for the contestants.
It was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when it was Via's turn, and she and Dick followed the staff into the building, through a large hall and a promenade with a garden, and the staff led them to the door of a studio.
The staff said to them, "You wait here first, and then go in when you hear the call from inside until the forty-sixth, and don't forget to introduce yourself to the judges, don't talk nonsense, just say your name and the song you want to sing." ”
Via nodded.
At this time, a young man in the studio is performing, he faces two judges, a camera, and several crew members, without accompaniment.
The judges were a man and a woman, the man had a few sparse hairs, combed meticulously, his expression was quite arrogant, and he exuded a noble artistic temperament, he was probably the friend that Mr. Mary said, Mr. Howard.
The woman is a very famous singer in France, called Amanda, Viagra did her homework before she came, and specially found a few of her songs to listen to, Amanda is very beautiful, she is basically no different from the photo, red hair and blue eyes, charming eyes, tall and sexy.
Halfway through the young man's singing, Mr. Howard shouted to stop, and waved his hand impatiently,
"You can go."
With such a blunt dislike, the young man blushed.
Amanda said in due course, "You go back and practice hard, and come back next year to sign up." ”
The young man's face was still ugly, and he walked out and met Via and-on, and he glanced at them, and hastened away as if he felt ashamed.
"Next, Forty ......"
Mr. Howard interrupted the call of the staff and said in a bad tone, "Let's eat first, I'm going to lose my ears after listening to the noise all morning." ”
The staff looked at each other, and they had long heard that this Mr. Howard had a big temper and a big shelf, and probably talented people were so arrogant. Mr. Howard is not a singer, but he is an excellent vocal teacher, he has produced many household names, and he will write songs for his favorite students himself.
Even a celebrity as famous as Amanda had to look at Mr. Howard's face, "yes, it's noon, it's time for lunch, you let the outside players wait," Amanda said along with Mr. Howard's words.
The staff then came out and asked Via and Dick to wait outside the building, just because the judges had to eat lunch.
Dick said unpleasantly, "We're hungry too." ”
When the staff heard this, they retorted, "Can you compare with the judges?" ”
Dick was angry and wanted to reason with him, but was dragged by Via, who smiled at the staff, "Let's go out, we'll go out immediately." ”
Compared with the famous vocal teachers and idol stars, she and Dick are lowly ants, and they are still obedient on other people's territory.
Dick didn't understand this truth, he stinked face, took three steps and two steps away with his long legs, and Viagra had to catch up behind.
At this time, Mr. Howard and Amanda also came out, and Howard saw the back of the girl chasing people, his eyes changed, and he asked the staff, "What is she?" ”
The staff was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "Forty-sixth, it's the next one." ”
Unexpectedly, Mr. Howard said to Amanda, "Let's go to dinner after listening to this forty-six." ”
Amanda was also stunned, but she didn't dare to refute, "Okay, no problem." ”
The staff wanted to cry and went to chase after Via and Dick without tears.
Dick smirked, "You're kidding us, aren't you?" ”
"Alright, let's go to dinner after the show," Via, not wanting to cause trouble, pulled Dick back.
The staff followed them, complaining in their hearts that Mr. Howard had a too eccentric temperament, and that he was going to be beautiful and that he would give her priority.
As soon as Via and Dick walked into the studio, the camera camera immediately focused on them, and even if it was an audition, the TV station would record the performance of the contestants, and then edit out excellent pictures and broadcast them on TV.
Amanda noticed that Howard beside her was sitting up straight, and the disgusted appearance immediately refreshed.
Via held the microphone handed to her by the staff and began to introduce herself, "My name is Via Levitt, he is my brother De Klevet, and we are going to perform an original song called "Flying Birds". ”
Birds?
How does the name sound familiar?
That was on the minds of everyone present except Mr. Howard.
After Via finished speaking, she motioned to Dick, who nodded at her to indicate that he was ready.
For the first time, the familiar melody spread through the sound equipment, and Via grabbed the microphone and began to sing. She and Dick had worked together countless times on this piece, and she just changed the lyrics to French, so neither of them was nervous, and the performance was normal.
Everyone in the studio looked at them intently, Wei Ya sang this song completely from beginning to end, she was the first contestant who could sing the whole song today, and was not stopped by the judges halfway. And the photographer gave Via and Dick great close-ups, respectively.
The last note crossed the strings, and the staff member, who had just been disdainful of Via, and Dick couldn't help but applaud him, and the others applauded him as well.
"She's actually the girl in the online video," someone recognized.
"That's right, it's her, it's her, black hair, a lot of body shape, the point is that the singing voice is exactly the same."
Howard, who had been stinky all morning, laughed, "Good, good, you wrote this song yourself, right?" ”
"Yes."
Mr. Howard smiled more and nodded.
Amanda, who is busy with work, didn't know about the video, but she was also amazed by Via's singing, "What a genius, talented, and blessed with a voice, I think she can pass." ”
"Of course she can pass," said Mr. Howard, who had advertised the poster for the race to Mary and asked her to bring the child to the race.
"Your brother's guitar foundation is also good, and he can develop more deeply."
Dick didn't expect Mr. Howard to comment on him, he thought he was an accompanist, a foil to Via, and Mr. Howard's words surprised him very much.
"You've all passed the primaries," Mr. Howard laughed, "and go back and wait for the next round of selection." ”
"Thank you, thank you."
Via and Dick bowed at the same time in thanks.
The two men walked out of the building, and the players who were still waiting outside knew they had passed by looking at their expressions. Because they were the only ones who came out with a smile on their faces. The hearts of the people are very unpleasant, some are envious, some are more stressed, and some are jealous.
Teacher Mary sat on the steps, very relaxed. Wei Ya is equivalent to a confirmed contestant, and Teacher Mary is not afraid that she will not be selected, and sure enough, she saw two children walking over with smiles on their faces.
Via said to Teacher Mary, "Teacher, your friend is not as bad as you say, he speaks in a friendly tone and loves to smile. ”
"He likes to smile? My classmates would have been surprised to hear what you said about Howard, we couldn't stand his weirdness," Miss Mary blinked, "It looks like the first round was going to be easy for you." ”
Dick shrugged, "It's really easy, we just performed 'The Birds' again, and it didn't take much effort." ”
However, it is easy to target people.
On the second night, TV8 TV in France broadcast a two-hour selection of preliminary pictures, which came from various preliminary competition points in Europe, and after careful editing and choreography by editors, some potential contestant clips were selected for the audience to try first.
And Via's picture has not been cut anywhere, from the time she walked into the studio, introduced herself, sang to leaving, it was completely presented in front of the audience.
The choreographer's intention was obvious, and the effect they wanted was achieved.
That night, the song "Flying Bird" soared to No. 9 in online song searches in France, and the top eight were all new songs from world-class popular superstars.
At the same time, the blurry video of the New Year was turned out by netizens again, and the number of clicks and comments doubled and doubled.
The difference is that now everyone knows the name of this girl,
Her name is Via Levitt.
