Chapter 18: The Countess of Music
() As the host of this singing competition appeared on the stage, he began to do the warm-up before the start of the competition. The performance hall, which was originally a little noisy, quickly quieted down. Sitting in this kind of indoor performance hall, you don't have to worry about not hearing what the people on stage are saying.
Under the introduction of the host, the official judge of this year's singing competition, a female minister of the Binhai Propaganda Department, became the first guest to appear on the judges' degree. Along with this, there are also principals of several prestigious elementary schools.
It's because Wenle is curious about who Chen Shuying's 'heavyweight guest' is.
The hostess on the stage seemed to be very excited and said: "The guest I want to introduce below is familiar to many audiences. Even if it's me, I grew up listening to her music.
Please welcome Cui Wenying, a famous children's musician, a famous singer and a famous music producer, who attended this children's singing contest with warm applause. This is Mr. Cui Wenying, who has set foot on the coastal land again after nearly ten years! ”
As the hostess's voice fell, a woman with almost half-white hair soon appeared in the guest exit channel. With the appearance of this old man, the audience and the judges all stood up and applauded warmly.
Cui Wenying, hearing this name, even Li Wenjie, who was sitting next to Yu Wenle, couldn't help but say: "I really didn't expect that she could be invited in this competition." No wonder even the provincial station sent reporters to this competition. ”
Yu Wenle, who also gave a standing ovation, also began to search for his memories of this old man. As the hostess said, this woman has sung and written, and many Yanhuang people are familiar with children's singing.
In addition, she is one of the few female singers in the Yanhuang Empire who has been awarded the status of earl by the emperor. Such a countess, in the singer circle of the Yanhuang Empire, I am afraid that she is the only one who survives in the world!
To be able to invite this old man to be a judge, he is indeed called a 'heavyweight guest'!
In the warm applause of the audience, Cui Wenying, who is over sixty years old, stood on the stage with a microphone and said with a kind smile: "Hello Binhai fathers and fellow villagers, I am Cui Wenying!" ”
A simple sentence, coupled with her somewhat authentic native accent, the performance hall once again burst into warm applause. For the applause from the audience, the old man seemed to bow respectfully and thank him.
Finally, he raised his hand and said, "Although I have only lived in Binhai for eighteen years. But for the mountains and rivers of the coast, I will never forget. It's a pity that people are getting old and their health is not as good as before. I want to go back to the shore often, but sometimes I can't do it.
This time, I was invited to be the judge of the Binhai Children's Song Competition, firstly, because the city leaders of Binhai were warmly invited, and secondly, I wanted to go back to Binhai to have a look. After all, it's been almost 10 years since I last went back to the beach. ”
Looking at Cui Wenying's charm and aura on stage, Yu Wenle really knows what is a musician's aura. And if you want to cultivate such an aura, you must need years of performance to accumulate it!
After saying a word of thanks, Cui Wenying sat in the middle of the judge's seat with a smile amid the applause of the audience. Even the female minister of propaganda who attended the competition also sat on the sidelines. This is enough to show how high Cui Wenying's influence is.
As the only countess of the empire, Cui Wenying also enjoys the treatment of the imperial super-singer. Such a countess, in a sense, is at the same level as some provincial and ministerial leaders.
Although the aristocratic titles of the empire are not as noble as they were in the early years. But everyone knows that there are fewer and fewer people who can obtain the title of nobility granted by the royal family.
Every year, those who are eligible to be awarded the title of count or above by the royal family are all famous scientists, or some people who have made outstanding contributions to the empire. As for viscounts and barons, who are lower than the earl, they are eligible to be granted by the provincial and municipal councils.
However, in order to obtain such a noble title, it is also necessary for at least half of the members of the parliament to vote for the guò before it can be obtained. If you don't have any outstanding contributions, it is also extremely difficult to become a nobleman in the Yanhuang Empire.
It can be said that at present, in the entire province of South Vietnam, as far as Bun Lok knows, there seem to be only two people with the title of earl. Many provinces, not even a single count. This is also the reason why Cui Wenying, the countess, is so respected.
As a singer, it is very rare to have her kind of achievement. As a female singer, except for a famous female singer who passed away two years ago. In the history of the Yanhuang Empire, there have only been two female singer counts.
After Cui Wenying sat down, this year's singing competition officially kicked off. Accompanied by the hostess said: "Next, please invite Chen Jiayi, a female singer selected by Binhai No. 2 Elementary School, to sing a 'yellow silk scarf' for everyone." All are welcome! ”
Listening to the hostess's report, Yu Wenle was really speechless. The reason is that this 'yellow silk scarf' is a classic children's song composed by Cui Wenying and listed as a music learning demonstration for primary school students by the empire.
Seeing that Cui Wenying also applauded, welcoming the little girl who appeared first. Yu Wenle, who also paid attention to the game, found that this little girl, who looked about the same age as her little sister, seemed to be a little nervous.
The voice sounded good, but the whole person's expression was obviously a little nervous. So much so that when the curtain call was sung, the little girl looked a little sad. The expression of wanting to cry without tears made Yu Wenle also feel that she wanted to be in the top three, but she was afraid that it would be difficult!
And the judges' scores are all around eight points. As for Cui Wenying, she was still very amiable and said: "Chen Jiayi, you should have been a little too nervous to sing before, and you couldn't play your level."
You don't need to be discouraged, after all, you are still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future to show your musical talent. Every time I see you singing yellow silk scarves, I will remember that when I was a child, I didn't sing as well as you! ”
The words of comfort made the little girl seem to feel much better. After a few words of thanks, he quickly stepped off the stage. As for the other participating young singers who appeared one after another, the songs they performed were even repeated.
From this phenomenon, it can be seen that there are indeed not many children's songs in the Yanhuang Empire. And in this singing competition, the theme of the singing song is limited to the theme suitable for children to listen to, which naturally gives many schools a headache.
Just when her mother Liu Hui was a little anxious, she said, "Wenle, why hasn't your sister appeared yet?" ”
Seeing that her mother was a little nervous and anxious, Yu Wenle smiled and comforted: "Mom, my sister is a well-known little singer in Binhai. The order of her appearance should be at the end of the comparison. Don't worry! ”
Just as the two bowed their heads and talked, the two hosts who appeared on the stage again quickly said: "The little singer who is about to play below is Yu Wenlei, who was selected by Binhai No. 2 Elementary School.
And the song 'Let's Swing the Sculls' is also the only original song in this competition. After discussion at the preparatory meeting of the competition, it was believed that the musical style of this original song was in line with the limited song regulations of this competition. ”
It was roughly explained, which surprised the audience a little. Yu Wenle was also a little concerned, as for his mother, she looked even more nervous at this time, and she didn't dare to let go of her father's hand.
Instead, Li Wenjie, who was sitting next to Yu Wenle, said with a smile: "Wenle, you can rest assured." From the organizing committee, putting your sister in the back, it can almost be seen that the organizing committee is also very optimistic about your sister's results.
As long as your sister plays normally, with the song you wrote, the top three are almost certain. I think next, your family should be ready to accompany your sister to the provincial capital to participate in the exhibition match! ”
Let Li Wenjie say this, Yu Wenle and his parents were a little more at ease. Looking at Yu Wenlei, who calmly walked onto the stage, Yu Wenle felt that her sister at this moment at least looked very calm.
looked at his sister and saluted, but his eyes seemed to be looking for something. Yu Wenle didn't care about being polite, stood up directly from his seat, waved to his sister on the stage and said loudly: "Xiaolei, come on!" ”
Such a move naturally made the audience a little sideways. And Yu Wenlei, who was on the stage, soon saw her brother under the stage, as well as her parents sitting next to her brother. Suddenly, I felt that the tension in my heart quickly disappeared.
Even if I didn't hear what Yu Wenle said, many people saw that Yu Wenlei, who had just a calm expression before, began to have a smile on her face. This change in expression can also explain the change in Yu Wenlei's mood at the moment.
Yu Wenle, who waved his hand and roared, also knew that this behavior was a little inappropriate, looked at the audience's sideways eyes, and also apologized honestly. When the music prelude sounded, Yu Wenle also sat down again.
Li Wenjie on the side seemed to appreciate Wenle's actions just now and said, "Not bad! Looks like you love your sister a lot! ”
Of course, this is my only sister, I don't love her, who do I love!' ’
Such a proud word made the parents on the side seem to be very pleased. After all, having a good relationship with their children is also the thing that parents are most happy to see.
Thinking of this, they didn't seem to be as nervous as before, and began to listen to their daughter's singing quietly!
