((It's the weekend again, the 5,000-word chapter is delivered, please taste it.) ）

(It's still 4 collections today, and it's been four days in a row, hehe, what a strange thing!) ）

——————————

The first group of semi-finals was finally delayed until 3:05 p.m. Although it was recorded on TV, the organizing committee considered it again and again and still chose a closed-door competition without audience participation.

This decision made Cui Zhengguang, who had been looking forward to the semifinals for a long time, extremely dissatisfied. He had long planned to lead his roommates in the same dormitory to cheer for Ye Zi, and several slogans had already been written! It seems that this action can only be carried out until the final.

Although it was only the semi-finals today, Ye Zi's roommates and friends didn't seem to have considered the possibility of him missing at all, and they began to calculate the ticket allocation plan for the finals early.

Facing the requirements of all the members of his own dormitory, all the members of the 611 dormitory, and all the members of Cui Zhengguang's dormitory adding up to nearly twenty tickets to the finals, Ye Zi felt great pressure. Yesterday, Ning Chunhong and Deng Lijun also deliberately found Ye Zi, saying that once Ye Zi entered the finals, Ye Ying, the eldest sister, would also organize a group of people to come to the TV station, which made Ye Zi, who was already under pressure, even more anxious.

There are a total of 500 spectators in the finals, where can a contestant like Ye Zi be criticized!

Of course, even if you can't get a ticket to the finals at that time, Ye Zi will definitely try her best to bring Yin Lihua into the TV station, and it is estimated that Cui Zhengguang, a big-headed ghost, will follow closely in vain. Otherwise, just the complaints and nagging of these two people would definitely accompany Ye Zi for several months or even half a year, thinking about such a scene, Ye Zi shuddered!

——————————

In addition to the judges, there were only 29 contestants who had signed in and some staff members of the TV station at the semi-finals, and the huge studio seemed empty and silent. The five fixed cameras and one mobile camera installed in the front and back of the studio have all been opened, and the six camera lenses are all facing the direction of the stage, like six huge eyeballs. The judges were already seated in the judges' seat in the center of the audience, and everyone looked in the direction of the stage with a stern expression, and the tension of the upcoming competition was filled in the air.

The stage in the studio was set up high and big. It's the semi-finals, and there is no setup on the stage, and the players look very small when they stand on it. The lights on the stage light stand are gradually brightening, indicating that the game is about to begin.

With such an environment and such an arrangement, players who do not have competition experience and photogenic experience will face great pressure during the competition. That tall stage alone already makes people feel overwhelmed and at a loss! What's more, there are six cameras and ten pairs of eyes of the judges, all of whom are staring at you closely!

Adhering to the concise and efficient policy of organizing the competition, there is still no host in the semi-finals, but a staff member holding a spare microphone will stand in the voice control area and report the curtain one by one according to the order of the contestants. This measure greatly saves everyone's time and energy, and was unanimously praised by the judges. Such a tight and continuous rhythm of the game is also extremely rare in the Shencheng competition in recent years, which also increases the psychological pressure of the players.

————————————

Although the competition was delayed for more than an hour before it really started, the 15 players in this group were in good spirits and all looked confident before the competition.

The confidence of the audience is often uncountable!

When it came time to actually compete on stage, most of the contestants were extremely nervous in front of the TV cameras and the eyes of the judges, and the singing level was also reduced a lot under the huge pressure, and several contestants made undue mistakes when singing, which affected the final scoring results. At such a time, the confidence before coming to power has long been gone.

Fortunately, the sound system led by Ye Zi is extremely stable and has not been affected by the environment and TV recordings, ensuring the sound effect of each contestant when singing. If not, there will definitely be more players who will not perform well and thus lose the results they deserve.

Ye Zi takes every contestant's singing very seriously, and strives to show the best part of their voice in front of the judges.

——————————

Zeng Chun, a 16-year-old high school girl, is a good player with a genius type. The timbre is beautiful and refreshing, with a hint of girlish sweetness, and it is very recognizable by the sound. She is also a natural pharyngeal singing method, with a wide vocal range, and the span is not much worse than three octaves. Because of her age, she still lacks a lot of understanding and processing of songs, but her talent in singing and her future prospects in the music industry can be seen clearly by anyone who understands.

When she walked on the stage, she played very well, which left a deep impression on Ye Zi. But Zeng Chun is young after all, the first time she participated in such an important competition, and it was the first time she faced the camera, and she was nervous as soon as she came on stage. The voice is dry and fluttering, and the breath is also very chaotic and rapid, and the whole is the standard table of "rookie".

After listening to the first sentence, Ye Zi immediately began to make adjustments to her.

Zeng Chun sang a smash hit northwest wind song "Loess High Slope". In fact, her voice timbre is not suitable for this kind of northwest wind song that needs to be rough and heroic, with the flavor of a "female man". But now it's time to compete, so there's nothing wrong with that. Who is called the current pop music scene, except for the northwest wind songs, there are almost no songs that can show the singing skills of female singers!

Originally, with her normal voice state and singing skills, there would be no problem in controlling this song. But today she was nervous, and the problem came. In the second half of the song, there is an entire section that is sung completely in the high-pitched area, which is not easy in itself. And Zeng Chun specially found someone to remake the orchestration for this competition, and raised the original song in F key by a minor third to A-flat key.

This is obviously thankless!

Her original intention, of course, was to impress the judges by trying to figure out the guò rising tone to show off her excellent singing skills. But in her current state, there is a good chance that the high-pitched part of the singing will get out of control. When she gets out of control, she won't be able to use her singing skills to pronounce her words freely, so she can only shout out. In this way, there is a high possibility that the treble will sing a broken note. In this case, Zeng Chun will not only not be able to show her gorgeous and skillful skills, but will also be very likely to be out.

Ye Zi had no way to change her singing voice, so she could only hope that she would be able to relax and use her skills to pronounce before she sang to the high notes. And to let her relax, in addition to her own self-adjustment, as a sound engineer, Ye Zi also has her own way. That is to make Zeng Chun feel that her singing voice is good, and make her feel that her singing today is more relaxed, so that she will have confidence. As soon as her confidence came up, her whole person was able to relax.

This is also one of the requirements for a sound engineer to tune in the field: to use the existing equipment and his own technology to help the players (actors) who are out of control (about to get out of control) on the stage find the feeling of singing (acting).

In the first step, Ye Zi immediately slightly increased the volume of the echo and the amount of reverberation of the microphone, so that Zeng Chun on the stage could hear her voice more clearly, and her voice would be more moisturized because of the increased reverberation. After such treatment, Zeng Chun will not be so anxious and difficult when singing.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zi increased the compression ratio of the compressor to 4.5 to 1, and the output also increased by 2 decibels. This kind of treatment can make her dry hair because of nervousness, and her voice will be more condensed and balanced.

After adjusting these places, Ye Zi observed. At this time, Zeng Chun's appearance on the stage was much more normal, and his breath was a little more controllable.

Ye Zi continued to make adjustments. He also attenuated the vocal equalizer at 250HZ by 2.5 decibels, which will lose a little bass thickness, but can make Zeng Chun's voice clearer and more transparent. Subsequently, Ye Zi adjusted the middle frequency of about 1750HZ and the middle and high frequency of about 3000HZ slightly, so that Zeng Chun's voice was transparent as a whole.

After a series of quick adjustments, Zeng Chun's voice now no longer has the feeling of being out of control and dry due to nervousness, and has become a little tasteful. However, her easy singing when she walked the stage will definitely not be able to reproduce in this semi-final.

Zeng Chun did not waste Ye Zi's efforts.

The little girl is really a singer with a lot of aura, and when she sang the second paragraph, Zeng Chun had basically recovered to normal.

So, Ye Zi replied to the trimmed parameters a little more. Since Zeng Chun's state has tended to normal, it is better to remove the excessive "monosodium glutamate" that was originally added. Just to be on the safe side, Ye Zi still left a little leeway.

In the high-pitched part of the last paragraph, Zeng Chun sang it easily. Although compared to the radiant performance when she walked on stage, the singing during the competition can only be regarded as decent, but Zeng Chun's voice talent and singing talent have completely fallen in the eyes of the judges, and it is a matter of course to get a good result.

After the second group of semi-finals in the evening, Zeng Chun entered the final with a score of ninth among 30 players. This result is far lower than her own strength, but I believe that with Zeng Chun's talent, with the experience of playing abnormally in this semi-final, she will definitely change in the final. Whether it is Ye Zi or the other finalists, they will face a more powerful Zeng Chun in the finals.

——————————

Compared with the young and simple Zeng Chun, 23-year-old Zhang Lei is an extremely confident person. With Ye Zi's guarantee in terms of sound, Zhang Lei's singing during the competition is remarkable.

Although it was also the first time to be on camera, Zhang Lei's performance was extremely good. With his "people go crazy" character, the camera lens and the judges' scrutiny will not be a burden on him at all, but will only stimulate him to better play his level, and the song "I'm ugly but I'm gentle" is sung at a very high level. The pitch problems that occurred in the preliminary and semi-finals were also a lot more stable in this competition.

In the end, Zhang Lei entered the final with the sixth place in the semifinals.

Ye Zi knew that Zhang Lei did not have any good teachers behind him, and he was able to enter the finals with such results, completely relying on his excellent performance in the semi-finals to impress these judges. It's never an easy thing to do!

However, after the game, Zhang Lei attributed the reason for his entry into the finals to the sound that Ye Zi debugged for him. He said that it was because of the sound that he was so comfortable singing that he was able to play so well during the competition.

The two were originally friends, and Ye Zi was not pretending to be modest. After congratulating Zhang Lei, Ye Zi smiled at Zhang Lei's praise with peace of mind.

——————————

Because he was responsible for the on-site tuning of the competition, Ye Zi negotiated with the organizing committee and put his competition order to the fifteenth, that is, the last place in the afternoon.

In Ye Zi's heart, he didn't care whether he was the first or the last to sing. After walking on the stage, he had a thorough understanding of the level of the other fourteen competitors in the afternoon. In terms of singing strength, Ye Zi has complete confidence to win the first place in the afternoon competition, and entering the finals will be a matter of hand. Even without the support of the two teachers behind him, he still has such confidence. Of course, such self-confidence is based on the absence of insider manipulation.

Ye Zi's choice of repertoire for the competition is "Cattle Herding at Dusk". This song was originally a Mexican folk song, and after domestic musicians wrote the lyrics for it, the famous singer Chen Junjia of Guangdong Province won the Most Popular Singer Award for this song at the first Shenzhou Dragon and Phoenix Song Contest held in 1988 and modeled after the Red and White Song Society of the island country, and it has been sung since then. Because the falsetto used in singing is very dense and difficult, many contestants will choose this song to participate in the competition. However, there are very few people who can really sing it well and sing it with charm.

This is a difficult song that the contestants love and hate!

Ye Zi was wearing a light blue jeans and pants, a pair of half-high-top leather boots under his feet, holding a microphone, and slowly stepping forward to the beat of the music.

Under the colorful lights, Ye Zi's expression was relaxed, with a shallow smile on his face.

It's a beautiful lovely twilight

How laissez-faire the herd is to run around

What a beautiful view it is on this mountain

The banishment of the cow was a joy

Little brother and little sister are out the door

You and the cow to see who is naïve

Although the sun is beautiful, it will be depressed in a blink of an eye

Go up the hill and roll over and roll

Yo babble

Yo babble

Yo babble

Whew, oh mile

————

The beautiful moon rises high

Its silver light has shone upon the earth

How mysterious the night view is on this grassland

Let people linger and can't bear to leave

Listen to the shepherd boy's singing

What a beautiful melody it is

Life on the ranch is fun

The grassland is so beautiful

Yo babble

Yo babble

Yo babble

Whew, oh mile

————

Yo woo mie mow mie mh mh h

Yo Mile Mile Oh Mile

Yo babble

Whoa, whoa

Babble

Ye Zi's singing was not completely over, and the applause had already sounded one after another. Don't look at the fact that there are less than 100 people present in the studio, but the momentum of this applause is no less than the feeling of a concert!

The 28 contestants and dozens of TV station staff all stood up and applauded Ye Zi desperately. It seems that if they don't do this, it will not be enough to express their love and support for Ye Zi's singing. Several male contestants, including Zhang Lei, and young staff members of several TV stations stood there jumping and shouting loudly with excitement.

The judges were also applauding Ye Zi as a sign of encouragement. Even Dean Zhang, who is the chairman of the judges of today's competition and has been strict and self-controlled throughout the competition, also clapped his hands with a smile on his face at this time.

Ni Jun didn't care whether Ye Zi could see it standing on the stage, proudly stretched out his two arms, raised his thumb high, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and laughed loudly and happily.

From the bottom of his heart, he was truly proud of the disciple he had discovered!

——————————

Everyone is unusually good, just because Ye Zi's singing is really outstanding.

In this song "Cattle Herding at Dusk", Ye Zi almost did not use any singing skills in the previous part of the singing, but completely relaxed his voice and breath, and sang it in the most plain and natural way.

At first glance, this kind of singing sounds like the kind of "big white voice" sung by people who can't sing. But the more you listen to it, the more you taste it. Such a state is actually the closest to the original flavor of this song. To describe it in a poem, it is "clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving". This requires a singer's strong control to do it.

In the second half of the falsetto, Ye Zi's table is even more exciting!

If the previous singing does not have a certain level of appreciation, and it is impossible to hear what is good about Ye Zi's singing, then these falsetto voices in the back can be heard clearly by anyone.

Ye Zi's yodel singing (the official name for falsetto, named after its origins in the Yodel Mountains of Switzerland) is skillful and easy. Often before the listeners notice, the falsetto suddenly jumps into their ears in the middle of the singing of the real voice, and then, just as they are just concentrating, the falsetto disappears without a trace, and the real voice continues to flow seamlessly behind the falsetto.

It's an amazing and intriguing feeling!

In this way, the emptiness of the valley, the beauty of the scenery, the joy of the cattle and sheep, the innocence and open-mindedness of the shepherds, etc., which the song wants to express, are all vividly displayed in Ye Zi's singing.

How can such a singing not make people stand up and applaud it!
