()"The semi-finals of the first 'Huamao Cup' Shen Yuexiang Three Singers Singing Contest start now! ”

In the low and strong drum beat, the high-pitched voice of the male host officially announced the arrival of the competition.

"Tonight's judges, please."

"They are: Sir Cai Qingde, Chairman of the Jury of this Competition, Chairman of the Management Committee of the Hong Kong Festival Orchestra, Honorary Conductor of the Orchestra for Life, and Famous Conductor"

"And the last judge, Mr. Chen Junjia, a famous Chinese singer."

"Welcome to the ten judges!"

"In order to ensure the fairness, impartiality and openness of this competition, the organizing committee has set up a three-person supervision and review team."

"Now, three supervisors from the supervision and review team are invited to enter. They are"

"Well, the judges are seated, and the supervision team is ready. Next, let's start with the first contestant of the night. ”

"She is Mengqi from Xiangjiang City, and her entry song is "Dancing Street".

"Player Mengqi please!"

The lights on the stage were all extinguished at the moment when the host's voice fell, and only the faint lights on the music stand in the orchestra pit were still flickering in the entire studio hall. In the quiet darkness, the sound of drum sticks was clearly heard.

Click, click, click, knock!

After three quick blows of the drum sticks, on the fourth beat of the bar, drummer Donnu beats the kick, chase and snare drum at the same time. Immediately, the whole band, led by the drumbeat, immediately played the cheerful and jumping prelude melody of "Dancing Street".

As the music played, the lights began to rise and fall to the rhythm of the music. Two light chasers swayed in two circles, one large and one small, sweeping back and forth between the stage and the empty audience area. The two colored light spinners installed on both sides of the stage also rotated at the same time, spreading colorful tiny spots of light all over the stage.

Music, lights, strong rhythms, and colorful colors all combine to create a lively disco atmosphere.

In the passage in the middle of the stage, a long-haired girl in a T-shirt + jeans + sneakers. Happily twisting his hips and swaying his body, he jumped to the center of the stage with rhythmic steps.

It's almost a minute to get sunburned

There's no need to rush for success or failure

do/you/wanna/dance/tonight？

The girl's voice was just like her appearance, very immature, and it sounded like she hadn't grown up yet. Of course, her singing can't be compared with the original song of this song, but her jumping youthful vitality and unrestrained body movements on the stage make people feel good about this girl for no reason.

What a young girl with unlimited youth! It's like the little sister next door.

But alas. The purpose of the semi-finals is to eliminate the seven players, and at the same time to rehearse for the live broadcast of the finals, so there is no audience participation, which is a complete "closed-door competition". At the scene of the competition, in addition to the contestants, judges, and supervisors, there were only a few representatives of sponsors.

Mengqi's singing is not excellent, she is characterized by her own dynamic charm. Such a characteristic requires the participation of the audience to fully reflect, and tonight's semi-finals will be very disadvantageous for a lively live player like Meng Qi.

Moreover, she was the first contestant to sing on stage tonight. The signing order is the worst. If she wants to make it to the final, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Sure enough, after Mengqi finished singing, the two hosts came to the stage and chatted a little, and her score had already come out.

Mengqi's very hard-working song and dance only scored a very low score of 78.35.

The judges' scores are all ten-point standards, which can be accurate to two decimal places, and the scores of the ten judges are added up to the final score of the contestants.

Mengqi is such an achievement. You won't be able to make it to the finals anyway.

The scores of the semi-finals are scored immediately after the contestants finish singing, and the statistics are announced immediately. Such a measure is a little delayed, albeit with a little delay. However, at a certain level, it can effectively put an end to the private pettiness between some judges, and all the contestants welcomed it.

As for the daily "communication and coordination" between the judges, this cannot be avoided by any measure, and the organizing committee will not have to work hard. Controlling the on-site situation in place is enough to be worthy of the efforts and dedication of all the players.

Praise for the heart of the organizing committee!

But it's not effective. That depends on the final result.

After Mengqi's game, the next player to appear was Zhang Lei. When Meng Qi was still singing on stage, he was already waiting at the back of the passage.

After the host finished the curtain call, the band had already played the prelude melody, and Zhang Lei breathed quickly a few times. calmed down his pounding mood a little.

The electric piano and bass began to play two consecutive triplets that prompted the singing, Zhang Lei took a deep breath, raised the microphone, forgot everything, and shouted with sadness:

I hurt! oh

Hey? It's not bad, this treble that came up at the beginning held up.

In the player's seat, Ye Zi nodded slightly.

After the triplet, the electric piano is laid with column chords, the soprano saxophone plays a sad melody, the drums are beating, and Zhang Lei begins to sing officially.

How can I not be sad

You persuaded me to quench the fire in my heart

How to say love

My heart is so uncomfortable

Behind every affectionate look

Who knows how much sorrow it will have

How much sorrow?

After singing for the first time, Ye Zi sat down below, secretly clapping in his heart.

Because he was too nervous and used his voice excessively a few days ago, Zhang Lei's voice today is not good, losing his original beautiful metallic luster, and his voice is dark and slightly hoarse.

But the pros and cons of everything in the world are mutually reinforcing, and such a dull timbre happens to be more in line with the artistic conception requirements of this song.

Usually, Zhang Lei's normal timbre is a bit too bright compared to the requirements of this song. When recording and producing the song zuò for Zhang Lei, Ye Zi attenuated the high and middle high frequencies of his voice a lot, artificially making that kind of dark and hoarse timbre, artificially creating that sad and vicissitudes of life. However, this approach will always make Zhang Lei's singing a little unnatural.

There's no way around it.

Today, Zhang Lei's throat has a problem, but such a situation is rare to turn a bad thing into a good thing.

After listening to Zhang Lei's first singing, Ye Zi judged in his heart that as long as the next second singing and the repetition of the chorus can be completed like the first time, Zhang Lei may still impress the judges with his excellent singing and reach the finals, just like the Shencheng finals.

The only concern is still those difficult phrases that rush to the high C level, which is definitely a big challenge for Zhang Lei's voice, which has been out of condition today.

After that, the hope of the final is gone.

Once you make a mistake, in a game of such a specification, it will be a waste of success!

There is almost no interlude between the two repetitions of the song, and after a simple descending note played by the electric piano, the second singing begins immediately. The lead song of the second pass is sung, and there is a long interlude of distorted electric guitar solo before the chorus.

After only singing part of it the second time, Ye Zi frowned tightly.

The treble setting of the song "How to Say Love" is different from many songs, and it is placed directly in the main song. The chorus part is not very high, and the melody is more of a mid-high register.

So the difficulty in singing this song is in the main song, but the second time he didn't sing a few words, Ye Zi heard Zhang Lei's inadequacy.

This time, the problem is bigger.

The contestants will be very excited during the competition, and Zhang Lei's first singing was supported by this excitement and passion, and he performed very well, but in fact, his voice has gradually lost control after overconsumption.

By the second pass, the first segment was hovering in the mid-bass range, which was not a big problem in any situation. But in the second section, the pitch suddenly has to go up to the highest note, and it is the highest note in a row, which is difficult.

With such a difficulty as treble C elevation, can Zhang Lei, whose voice is already exhausted, pass the test again?

Ye Zi's heart really sweated for him! (To be continued......)
