((There are only 4 new additions to the collection today, totaling 177.) It seems that the treble needs to work hard! οΌ‰

(I haven't asked for a ticket for a long time, and the treble still shouts: Friends who have passed by, you need to push and comment on the treble!) Thank you so much!! οΌ‰

(Keep coding the word on!) οΌ‰

――――――――――

When the latest Hanxian pager vibrated in his waist, Ni Junzheng, together with several old friends and judges of the semi-finals, accompanied by Zhou Fang, director of the literary and artistic department of the TV station, and Zhang Wenliang, chief of the music and dance section of the literary and artistic department, sat comfortably in the large private room of the Yuhuayuan Hotel on the 18th floor of the building opposite the TV station, and enjoyed a hearty lunch.

For this singing competition of unprecedented scale, the organizers gave the judges a generous reward. Entertaining a few "light meals" during the event is of course inevitable.

The Imperial Garden Hotel is richly decorated, with a deep chef skills and a wide variety of dishes. Entertaining guests here, all the faces are in line, which is in line with the status of these judges. Moreover, since the opening of this hotel, it has been a designated hospitality hotel for TV stations. While their fees are reasonable, they are definitely flexible. Therefore, as long as there is a meal in various departments of the TV station, the first thing to consider is here.

――――――――――

After saying hello to all the colleagues present and leaving the private room, Ni Jun took out the pager. There are only two short lines on it: Teacher, I am Ye Zi. The sound is too bad and will affect the performance, and I hope to solve it.

Ni Jun frowned.

He knew that Ye Zi's repertoire for today's competition was on a certain stage, and he needed a good sound to assist him. Of course, Ni Jun also believes that with Ye Zi's current singing skills, even the worst sound can be excellent. Now Ye Zi specially called him for the audio thing, it seems that there must be a big problem with the sound system of the TV station.

In fact, when preparing for the event, the judges had advised not to place the later competition in the studio of the TV station. Everyone is an insider, and they all know what the acoustics of the big studio are. However, as the organizer, it is certainly impossible for the TV station to admit this. Under the pretext that they had recently purchased a complete set of imported professional stage sound systems, the sound effect of the studio has been greatly improved, and the semi-finals and finals were arranged in the big studio.

Ni Jun thought for a while, walked back to the private room, said hello to the others again, neatly packed up the things he was carrying, and left the private room.

He decided to find Ye Zi first to understand the situation, and then make further plans. However, before leaving, Ni Jun pulled Zhou Fang out of the private room and explained the situation to her. Zhou Fang's attitude was very cautious, because for the time being, she couldn't get out of her body, so she could only ask Ni Jun to figure out the situation first, and then make plans after seeing the situation.

From Zhou Fang's point of view, she certainly doesn't want the TV station she works for to have any discordant episodes in such an important event.

――――――――――

Ni Jun hurriedly found Ye Zi, took him out of the large dressing room, and came to the judges' lounge.

"Xiao Yezi, is the sound really bad?" Before he could sit down, Ni Jun closed the door as soon as he entered the lounge and asked anxiously.

Ye Zi smiled bitterly: "It's really bad!" If you were okay, I wouldn't have paged you this anymore! ”

"What's the difference? Can you sing? Ni Jun casually found a sofa to sit down, and at the same time motioned for Ye Zi to sit too, and asked without pause.

"Singing・・・・・・ you can definitely sing, but it's going to be hard to sing!" Ye Zi said affirmative words in his mouth, but at the same time, he kept shaking his head.

"This sound engineer doesn't have the right concept of tuning! He didn't know what was the right voice and what wasn't, and he didn't know how to tune the singer. ”

"Teacher, you see, he pushed the mid-range of the whole system to the low frequency attenuation, so that the sound would be very flat and thin, and the reverberation was the on-board reverb that came with the mixer, and it was dry to sing to death. There were monitors on the stage but they weren't turned on, and the volume of the accompaniment was too low. ”

"Teacher, how do you make people sing with such a sound? Ten percent of the level can play two or three percent, which is considered good! Ye Zi's resentment is also not small.

"That's ・・・・・・" Ni Jun nodded, indicating that he knew the general situation.

After thinking for a while, Ni Jun opened his mouth and commanded, "Well, I know." You go back to the dressing room first, and I'll go over and see, and we'll talk about that later." ”

――――――――――

Ye Zi returned to the dressing room and stayed for more than half an hour, Ni Jun frowned and hurried in again, followed by Zhou Fang, who also had a stern expression.

This time, Ni Jun didn't pull Ye Zi out, he sat down on the chair next to him, and then glanced at Zhang Lei who was sitting on the other side.

Zhang Lei was very eye-catching, didn't speak, got up and walked away. Zhou Fang then sat down in his seat.

"Ye Zi, are you familiar with this sound system?" Ni Jun asked in a low voice.

"Familiarly, EVs are very common stage sound systems." Ye Zi replied casually.

"Very common?"

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

EV was one of the preferred audio systems in night clubs in Ye Zi's previous life, and Ye Zi has used it countless times, and of course thinks it is a common system. However, in Shencheng in 91, EVs are extremely uncommon top-of-the-line imported audio systems.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Ye Zi hurriedly moved Zhang Lei and Lu Zheng out.

"Yes, teacher. My friend Zhang Lei, oh, it's the one sitting next to me just now, and they use the EV system in their field, and I've been singing a few times and I'm quite familiar with it. Later, Mr. Lu also mentioned this EV system in class. He said that EVs are very common in foreign countries and are not the top stage sound systems. ”

"Oh, it was Xiaolu who said it." Ni Jun was relieved: "Did Xiaolu teach you the operation of the stage sound system?" ”

"I've taught, haven't I been learning this from Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu said that the principle of the stage sound system and the recording system are the same, and there is not much difference in operation. At that time, he used an EV system to give me an example. What's wrong teacher? ”

Ye Zi said, looking at the two teachers beside him in confusion.

Ni Jun breathed a long sigh of relief, and Zhou Fangyan's expression was also slightly soothed.

Zhou Fang coughed lightly, hiding his inner thoughts, and asked softly: "Ye Zi, if ・・・・・・ I mean if ・・・・・・ let you take over this system now, do you ・・・・・・ you are sure to operate?" ”

"I'll do it?"

Ye Zi was extremely surprised, stared at Zhou Fang with wide eyes, and his voice unconsciously amplified a little. Several contestants in the dressing room turned their heads to look here.

Zhou Fang whispered slightly embarrassed: "You lighten!" I mean・・・・・・ I'm talking about if, if you were asked to do it, would you be sure? ”

Ye Zi hesitated and did not answer immediately.

Ye Zi is extremely familiar with the EV system, and there is definitely no problem with the operation. But what exactly does Zhou Fang mean? Do you want to operate the sound system yourself during the game? It's incredible, isn't it? With such a large unit as a TV station, will it not be possible to find a suitable candidate? With just a few questions to let herself go to the operating system, she is a little too bold, right? What if you mess up? Is there any benefit to doing it yourself? What are the consequences if you refuse? ・・・・・・

Ye Zi kept putting question marks in his heart.

"There's no time, stinky boy!" Ni Jun was impatient and asked, "What are you hesitating about?" Let's be honest, are you sure you'll take over the system? ”

"I ・・・・・・ I can operate the system without any problems."

As soon as Ye Zi gritted his teeth, the words rushed out of his mouth. He didn't have time to fully understand all the pros and cons of this matter. However, he knows one thing very well, if he can complete this work relatively satisfactorily, it will definitely be of great benefit to his competition in Shencheng.

That's enough!

"How long will it take you to get it in place?" Zhou Fang immediately asked: "You don't need to do it very well, as long as you can make a sound and ensure the normal progress of the game." ”

"Is it okay to keep quiet? It's easy. Just plug it in, push the faders on the mixer, and find someone to do it, without me having to do it myself. Ye Zi replied casually, a little disappointed in his heart.

Zhou Fang was a little embarrassed: "It's better for you to go this ・・・・・・." ”

"Okay then・・・・・・ Mr. Zhou. If you just turn on the sound, it's very fast, and it can be done in a few minutes. Ye Zi replied quickly. Now that it has been decided, Ye Zi will not be a mother-in-law again, and he must strive to seize this opportunity: "I can debug the system a little, and it will be about half an hour." ”

Zhou Fang was overjoyed: "Are you sure?" Is this a complete sound system? ”

"I'm sure." Ye Zi replied in the affirmative.

In his previous life, Ye Zi had used the EV stage sound system countless times, and he could operate it proficiently with his eyes closed, and there would be no problems.

"That's ・・・・・・"

Facing Ye Zi, Zhou Fang actually felt a little embarrassed. The dignified Shencheng TV station, one of the few big stations in the country, will be forced to such a situation in front of you!

The matter was urgent, and she couldn't continue to delay, so Zhou Fang immediately made a decision: "Ye Zi, you can go with me now." If・・・・・・ if you can get the system back on in half an hour, you'll be in charge of the sound system for today's game. ”

"Restoration? Mr. Zhou, what's going on? ”

Zhou Fang was even more embarrassed.

Ni Jun patted Ye Zi's head and shouted in a low voice, "What is the stinky boy still asking?" Let's go! With that, he pulled Ye Zi to get up and leave.

Ye Zi hurriedly grabbed his backpack and followed the two teachers to the big studio again. On the way, after Ni Jun's brief explanation and some understanding afterwards, Ye Zi learned the general situation of the matter.

――――――――――

At that time, after Ye Zi learned about the general situation of the sound system, Ni Jun immediately went to the big studio to verify it on the spot. Indeed, the situation is exactly the same as what Ye Zi said.

Ni Jun immediately contacted Zhou Fang and Zhang Wenliang to explain the situation, hoping that they would come back immediately and urge the sound engineer to solve the problem.

The sound problem can be big or small, but when it comes to whether the game can be carried out smoothly, Zhou Fang and Zhang Wenliang will definitely not dare to slack off. After coming back, they went directly to the big studio, and the two of them immediately frowned when they heard it. Both of them are knowledgeable people, and a sound system that was originally quite good in their impression is now such a terrible look!

This is clearly a problem for the sound engineer.

Zhou Fang reprimanded the on-site director who was present in the morning, and immediately sent someone to find a sound engineer.

Soon, the sound engineer who was having dinner was invited. As soon as they saw this person, Zhou Fang and Zhang Wenliang all secretly complained to themselves. It turned out that this person was the most famous "Yanei" of the TV station, the second son of Deputy Director Zhang of the Shencheng State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

I don't know why this second son of Zhang has recently become obsessed with the profession of sound engineer. He transferred from the advertising department to the music and dance department without authorization, saying that he wanted to learn sound operation techniques from the best sound engineer in the music and dance department.

This time, it was this second son Zhang who thought that he was already full of apprentices and needed to practice the operation, so he took it upon himself to squeeze out the originally arranged sound engineer and replace it with himself in charge of the sound operation of this competition. And his teacher, who was supposed to be a veteran sound engineer in this competition, was out of sight in a fit of anger, so he simply accepted the invitation of a team to go to the cave and went out to pick up points (the meaning of making money in Shanghainese).

Faced with Zhou Fang and Zhang Wenliang's request to re-debug the audio, the second son of Zhang did not admit that the sound of the system was bad at all, but ridiculed the two leaders for not knowing how to pretend to understand.

This annoyed Zhou Fang and was scolded by Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang is also a person with a lot of background, and he is not afraid of the power of Zhang Ergongzi's backstage, and his usual tolerance is just that he doesn't want to deal with his junior. Now Zhang Ergongzi's behavior has seriously affected the normal progress of this competition, which is a major matter for which Zhou Fang is fully responsible, and Zhou Fang is of course impossible to be polite to him.

But who knew that this second son Zhang was extremely stubborn! Before Zhou Fang's words were finished, he zeroed out the parameters of all the equipment in the audio system, turned off the power and walked away, leaving Zhou Fang, Zhang Wenliang, the two leaders and Ni Jun, the judge, there on the spot.

Zhou Fang and the others didn't care about Zhang Ergongzi's bad behavior, and immediately began to contact other sound engineers to come to the rescue.

One by one, the calls went out. Several other sound engineers in the station all knew about Zhang Ergongzi's incident this time, and they hid faster than the other, and no one could find them. Most of the sound engineers outside the station are busy with work in their hands, and the few idle ones dare not take over this system when they hear the name of EV, for fear that this unfamiliar imported system will be difficult to serve, and if it is not good, it will not only not help, but will easily cause trouble. This round of phone calls came down, but a sound engineer who saved the scene couldn't be found!

In the end, it was Ni Jun who found Lu Zheng's head, which led to Ye Zi's appearance now.

In fact, Lu Zheng is not the most suitable candidate. He's a great sound engineer, but the requirements for live tuning aren't exactly the same as recording. But it's in a hurry, and it doesn't take care of that much.

Lu Zheng is recording in a record studio, and of course it is impossible to come to the TV station. After learning about the situation at the scene, Lu Zheng gave Ni Jun an idea on the phone, asking him to recommend Ye Zi to Zhou Fang to give it a try.

Lu Zheng can see from Ye Zi's familiarity with the system of Sun Yun's studio, as well as some conversations between the two, that Ye Zi definitely has the ability to tune on the spot. As for how far Ye Zi's live tuning can go, it is not something that Lu Zheng can answer right away.

After Ni Jun heard this, he felt that this might be a good thing for Ye Zi. Ye Zi went, nothing more than two situations. If you can't do it, the worst outcome is now. The only way to do this is to postpone the game until a sound engineer is found. If this is the case, it will also be the face of the TV station. But there is another situation, that is, if Ye Zi can repair the system and ensure the normal progress of the game, then the TV station, especially Zhou Fang, a powerful figure, will definitely accept this situation. In this case, it would be too beneficial to Ye Zike.

Thinking like this, Ni Jun immediately told Zhou and Zhang about the construction of Lu Zheng.

After a little discussion, the three of them immediately decided to go their separate ways. Zhang Wenliang continued to contact other sound engineers, and Zhou Fang and Ni Jun went to find Ye Zi together.

Zhou Fang also felt that the matter had come to this, and the dead horse should be regarded as a live horse doctor! Since Lu Zheng recommended Ye Zi, it will definitely not be untargeted. It's better to let Ye Zi try it first, even if it doesn't work, it won't delay anything. Who told them to meet such a "second" son at such a critical moment!

――――――――――

When Ye Zi followed the two teachers to the big studio again, the on-site director was already jumping in a hurry. In the entire large studio, except for his loud shouting and scolding, there was no other sound.

The sound control area on the right side of the stage is in a place where the lights can't shine, and it's dark and silent. Only a work lamp stood alone on top of the equipment rack, radiating a faint yellow light.
