Chapter 10: Promotion
"Rong'er? Do you really dare to scream, do you really think you are Huang Rong? Lin Chuan muttered to himself, but he didn't really say it directly.
Next, the atmosphere in the waiting room was heated by Lin Chuan, a 'genius singer-songwriter', and even several other people, including Huang Quan, seemed to be intent on currying favor.
"Bang"
"No. 54 Lin Chuan, come out and prepare immediately!" Just as everyone was chatting, the door of the waiting room was suddenly pushed open, and then a woman in work clothes shouted at the inside with an expressionless face.
Lin Chuan got up from the sofa and said to Lin Yiyang: "Yangyang, you stay here first, Dad will come back after the competition!" β
"Well, I see, Dad!" Lin Yiyang blinked his big eyes and nodded obediently.
"Dude, don't worry, we're here, you don't have to worry!" The 'female man' named Li Rong said with a grin.
Lin Chuan smiled, nodded gratefully at a few people, and walked out quickly with his acoustic guitar.
Led by a staff member, Lin Chuan quickly passed through the guΓ² passage to the side of the stage.
Looking around, I saw that there were a lot of spectators sitting in the audience at this time, almost all of them were holding glow sticks in their hands, pointing at a contestant who was singing on the stage, and even a few people showed a mocking smile on their faces.
Looking ahead, there were five judges sitting there, one of whom was the white-haired teacher Chen Dong that Lin Chuan had met during the audition.
At this time, he was still expressionless, sitting in his place with his eyes closed, as if he was listening carefully to the singer's singing on stage, and he seemed to be disdainful of it, which made people wonder through.
It didn't take long for the singer on stage to finish singing, and I saw that the judges almost all gave the lowest score without hesitation.
Suddenly, the singer turned around and ran towards the audience, without even waiting for the host to come up and speak.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chuan couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat. The contestant just now didn't sing very badly, and even better than some of the other contestants.
But it was even given such a low score by several judges, and the strict Cheng dΓΉ can also be seen.
"Next, please invite No. 54 player Lin Chuan to the stage" The host didn't seem to care much about the player leaving just now, and after he came on stage, he didn't even mention it, and directly announced the next participating singer.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath, took the microphone handed to him by the staff, and strode towards the stage.
When he came to the host, he said with a stern face: "Hello host, good judges!" β
"Lin Chuan, I heard that during the audition, you used a song you wrote to impress the judges at that time, I don't know what kind of song you will bring to you today?" The host said with a smile on his face.
"That's right, I did use an original song to win praise from several judges, but it also took a big risk, but today when I come to this stage, I am more willing to take this risk to the end!" Although Lin Chuan was very nervous in his heart, he didn't reveal it while speaking.
When the host heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "I listened to the meaning of your words, and it seems that a new song has been prepared today?" β
"Yes, this song was written when I was in college, and the name is "The Outside World", I hope the judges and teachers can like it!" Lin Chuan said with a smile.
"The Outer Worlds? I don't know why, I'm already looking forward to your song now. Well, let's listen to the original song brought by No. 54 contestant Lin Chuan......" After the host said this, the person had already left the stage.
Immediately, Lin Chuan adjusted his breathing, and his fingers slowly played on the guitar.
Once upon a time
You own me, I own you
Once upon a time
You leave me to soar in the sky
The outside world is wonderful
The outside world is helpless
When you feel that the outside world is wonderful
I wish you well from the bottom of my heart
Whenever the sun sets
I'm always looking forward to you here
There was rain in the sky though
I still await your return
β¦β¦
When Lin Chuan sang the song "The Outside World" affectionately, the audience on the opposite side couldn't help but raise the light sticks in their hands and sway from side to side with the rhythm.
Even several judges in the audience began to shake their bodies slightly, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.
However, Lin Chuan didn't see this, because when he sang the first line of this song, his eyes were already slowly closed.
At this moment, with every lyric sung by Lin Chuan, his emotions are deeply contained in it.
As time passed, when Lin Chuan sang the last lyrics, the originally quiet scene suddenly erupted in warm applause, as well as the exclamations of those audiences.
After a while, when the enthusiasm of the audience gradually subsided, I saw a man in his thirties on the judges' seat, who looked to be only in his thirties, nodded with a smile and said, "Lin Chuan, right?" This song of yours is great, much better than I expected, did you really write it yourself? β
"Of course!" Lin Chuan nodded and said undoubtedly.
"Well, I can probably feel from your singing voice and the lyrics of this song that you felt when you wrote this song, if as you said, this song was written during your college years, it is not difficult to understand. All of us here have experienced university life, and at that time we also longed for the world outside the university, just like you sang in your song, the outside world is very exciting! β
"Thank you for your comments!" Lin Chuan bowed deeply.
"Young man, in my opinion, this song is more like singing for your girlfriend, you have touched many girls with this song in the first place, right?" Immediately afterwards, a female teacher in her fifties, who looked very familiar, laughed and teased.
"Huh!" Lin Chuan smiled awkwardly and didn't answer anything.
Later, I heard the female judge say: "I like this song very much, and even if I were thirty years younger, I would be moved by this song, but unfortunately, the years are not forgiving, but I am very optimistic about you, I hope you will be as wonderful as this song in the future!" β
When several judges and teachers all gave more or less affirmation and comments, I saw that Chen Dong, who made Lin Chuan very nervous and afraid, slowly owed, and said in a calm voice: "Okay, the teachers have also heard the songs brought by Lin Chuan, or we will give points, right?" β
When the other judges heard this, they all nodded in unison, and they all wrote on the scoreboard.
At the same time, the host, who had just stepped down, also came back.
"Okay, I believe that Lin Chuan's song "The Outside World" has a definite score from the teachers, can it be promoted? Please show the scores you have given! The host shouted passionately.
The next moment, I saw that each judge held up a scoreboard, and the scores on it were 9 points, 9 points, 8 points, 10 points, and 10 points.
Suddenly, the audience present and the host on the stage let out a cry of surprise. Although Lin Chuan didn't know the situation very well, he also knew that such a score was already very high, at least the promotion was guaranteed.
"Wow, I didn't expect that the scores given by the teachers would be so high, as far as I know, since our show entered the semi-finals, no contestant has ever gotten such a high score, especially when Chen Donglai unexpectedly gave 8 points. Now I announce that No. 54 Lin Chuan has successfully qualified! When the host said at the end, he raised Lin Chuan's hand.
At the same time, the audience also left their seats and stood up and applauded desperately.
At the same time, several people in Huangquan who were waiting in the waiting room couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard the enthusiastic cheers from the stage in front of them.
"Listening to this voice, could it be that Lin Chuan has been promoted?" Li Rong muttered in disbelief.
"It's very likely that this is the case, but even if Lin Chuan advances, I won't be surprised, he has enough ability to conquer those judges!" After the surprise on Huang Quan's face dissipated, he said meaningfully.
"Alas, there is one less place, and it seems that our competition is a lot bigger!" Li Rong sighed lightly and said slowly.
"Hehe, Sister Rong doesn't need to be so pessimistic, I believe that even if there is only one place left, it will definitely be yours!" Huang Quan smiled and said indifferently.
Li Rong's expression moved, and she turned around and continued to play with Lin Yiyang.
It didn't take long, and when Lin Chuan returned to the waiting room, Huang Quan, Li Rong and several other players all stood up to greet them.
"Hahaha, buddy, you always surprise us, congratulations on making it to the top 50!" Huang Quan was the first to speak.
"Yes, congratulations buddy, after entering the top 50, you are one step closer to the championship!" Li Rong also said with envy on her face.
"Hehe, forget about the championship, I can also use original songs to attract attention in the early stage, and the later competitions will be more and more difficult, and the strength of the remaining players is also stronger than one, how can I be judged!" Lin Chuan chuckled lightly and said modestly.
Immediately afterwards, everyone asked some more about the competition, but when they heard that Chen Dong, who made everyone very afraid, was also on the judges' seat, their faces couldn't help but change slightly.
Most of his confidence in being able to advance was extinguished at once.
Since Lin Chuan's game has ended, it has nothing to do with him later. So, he took Lin Yiyang, quickly walked out of the TV station, stopped a taxi, and rushed towards the bar.
Anyway, money still has to be earned, especially now that he is becoming famous, making it has become easier. The salary given by Boss Xu every time is also higher and higher.
