(Have a great weekend in advance!) When I have time, I take a look at the works of the high notes, thank you!! ）

――――――――――

Xiao Zhao soon came to Ye Zi.

This is a dark and thin young man, with the simplicity of a farmer, and as soon as they meet, he calls Ye Zi "teacher, teacher", which makes Ye Zi really ashamed.

Xiao Zhao is an external assistant hired by the sound team of the music and dance department, and the assistant is actually a handyman. In the morning, Xiao Zhao was helping Zhang Ergongzi, collecting and sorting tapes, connecting equipment, carrying speakers, etc., all these various chores were Xiao Zhao's business.

After Zhang Ergongzi picked his son, the leaders were busy calling to solve the problem, and no one paid attention to him. Xiao Zhao was busy all morning and hadn't even eaten a mouthful of food, so he hurried up to eat. After coming back, Xiao Zhao saw that someone was operating the sound system, and he wanted to come over to help, but he was afraid of being scolded by the sound teacher. In the TV station, an external employee like him has no status at all. Xiao Zhao didn't dare to leave without permission, so he stayed in an inconspicuous corner of the big studio to rest, ready to obey the leaders' arrangements and orders at any time.

――――――――――

With Xiao Zhao's assistance, Ye Zi's work suddenly became much easier. He immediately changed into the costume for the stage, and then wrote the stickers according to different titles, and pasted them one by one under the different tracks of the mixer. Both microphones are similarly labelled to distinguish male and female voices.

Next, Ye Zi took the time to talk to Xiao Zhao for a while. Knowing that Xiao Zhao had learned a little before and was able to perform some basic operations on the mixer, Ye Zi's heart that had always been a little burdensome finally let go. He doesn't want to have any unexpected mistakes when he sings because no one is operating the equipment. It's okay to do good, but it's worth the loss to put yourself in it.

When chatting, Ye Zi had already thought about Xiao Zhao's next work. His first instruction was for Xiao Zhao to invite the camera teacher in charge of the main camera.

The camera teacher came over quickly. Ye Zi connected the audio output of the mixer to the main camera, and then adjusted the size of the recording level while singing, leaving a margin of 1.5 decibels. In doing so, you can ensure that the sound recorded simultaneously during the game will not be overloaded.

After this qiē, all the preparations on the sound system side are over, and they are waiting for the players to walk on the stage again.

Ye Zi sat down on the chair for the first time, took out a black cover brown paper notebook in his backpack, took out a pen, and wrote a neat line of titles at the top of the first page: Shen Yuexiang Singer Contest Shencheng Semi-final Tuning Work Notes. Under the title, they are arranged one by one according to the order in which the contestants sing, and each person occupies two lines. At present, next to each contestant's name, only the singing repertoire is still recorded, and the rest of the place is still blank.

Fifteen minutes later, the contestants who had changed their costumes began to walk the stage again one after another, and Ye Zi was busy again.

After each player takes the stage, Ye Zi will fine-tune the equipment. Sometimes he was listening with headphones on, sometimes he was watching from the sound control area, and sometimes he would trot a few steps to the front of the stage to listen carefully. The sound of the entire sound system is also slowly becoming better in Ye Zi's further tuning.

After the contestants finished singing on stage, Ye Zi would pick up the spare microphone on the mixing console and ask the contestants: Is the reverberation enough for the contestants? Is the volume of accompaniment and feedback appropriate? Whether the microphone feels comfortable or not when singing, etc., Ye Zi will ask these questions one by one.

Subsequently, Ye Zi will record the fine-tuning parameters, the opinions of the contestants, the voice characteristics of the contestants, and some details that Ye Zi observed that may affect the performance of the contestants' singing performance in this column starting with their names for reference in the official competition.

The set of on-site tuning methods used by Ye Zi is a more respected practice in later generations, which is completely different from the current era.

In the domestic pop music scene of this era, there is no complete concept of live tuning. What is now called live tuning is extremely simple. The contestants (singers, actors) walked through the stage, and the sound engineer adjusted a general parameter and would not move again. Basically, there will be no adjustments during the game (performance). What the sound engineer has to do on the set is to play the tape or CD, and push the volume fader of the accompaniment and microphone up. This method is almost equivalent to mechanical operation, and there is no challenge at all, and it simply does not deserve the title of "music reinvention artist" that the live sound engineer is talked about in the European and American music scenes.

――――――――――

The large dressing room where the contestants rested was full of people, and this time the stage made the contestants all excited.

The excellent sound system and excellent microphone tuning made the contestants feel as if their singing level had reached a higher level. One by one, the players became full of confidence and wanted to show their skills in the next official competitions and strive for the best rankings.

Zhang Lei is the one who has benefited the most among the players.

Benefiting from his familiarity with Ye Zi, Ye Zi tuned his voice very well. Zhang Lei couldn't believe that the high-pitched and passionate singing voice coming from the speaker was sung with his own voice.

Ye Zi deliberately increased the compression ratio of his voice, increased his low frequency and mid-range high range, and the reverberation volume was slightly reduced overall, but when he sang to the high register, he increased it a little. This kind of processing not only ensures the clarity and bass tension of his voice, but also has a wide sound field while the treble is very penetrating, which fully meets the requirements of his song "I'm Ugly But I'm Gentle" in today's competition.

Zhang Lei didn't know why the sound engineer of this competition suddenly became Ye Zi, and he never knew that Ye Zi could actually tune it. However, Zhang Lei understands that this will be his chance! For today's game, Zhang Lei suddenly had super confidence. He believes that Ye Zi will definitely be able to help himself and let himself play his best in the competition!

Zhang Lei is a very good friend.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the contestants, Zhang Lei lost no time in introducing Ye Zi, the sound engineer of this competition, to everyone. Only then did the contestants realize that the sound engineer who had changed the original bad sound effect and allowed them to play at their best, and the young figure who was still standing in the sound control area and was constantly busy, turned out to be the same contestants as they were.

Ye Zi's actions made these young and arrogant young men awe-inspiring. Who can be dissatisfied with someone who is doing everything in their power to help them, regardless of their own interests? The name Ye Zi was remembered in the hearts of these young people for the first time.

――――――――――

At the back of the large studio, a group of well-dressed men and women sat silently in the audience. No one spoke, and everyone's eyes were on the busy young man on the right side of the stage, their eyes full of appreciation and praise.

A middle-aged man with a clear face sitting in the middle suddenly turned his head and said to a man sitting at the end of the right side: "Ni Jun, you and Sun Yun are really good students!" Good! The lad is very nice! I sang well when I auditioned just now! I think, he will be one in the final, what do you think? ”

Zhou Fang sat next to the middle-aged man, and she was the first to smile and agree: "I agree." Xiaoye is good, our TV station supports Dean Li's construction. ”

Several of the judges were judges of Ye Zi's preliminary and semi-finals, and they knew Ye Zi's strength quite well, and they all echoed it at this time.

"Ni Jun, you are his teacher, what do you say?" The middle-aged man finally asked Ni Jun's opinion again.

Ni Jun smiled freely: "Lao Li, you are the chairman of the semi-finals, of course you have the final say." You are a student who promotes me, will I Ni Jun still take Qiao? ”

"Haha, that's it!" The judge surnamed Li settled the matter with a smile, and then said: "Ni Jun, look at Xiao Ye, I'm really happy for you, there is a successor!" It's like my unsuccessful student, who hasn't come to report yet, it's so unusual! Director Zhou, you can deal with it as the organizing committee wants, and you don't have to look at my face. ”

Of course, Zhou Fang ignored his polite words, smiled slightly, and said, "Dean Li, you are too polite. Who in the circle doesn't know that you Dean Li has accepted a genius student, not only singing well, but also playing the guitar superbly. Everyone is saying, Dean Li, you have picked up a treasure. ”

Dean Li waved his hand lightly, with a stern expression: "If a genius doesn't talk about him, his attitude towards the competition is not right!" When I go back, I'm going to beat him up. ”

"Hehe, our TV station is very optimistic about him, Director Zhu has already spoken, and he should have a share when he goes to Xiangjiang."

Zhou Fang still didn't answer the other party's words: "Young people, it's understandable to be proud, who didn't come from a young age?" Dean Li reminded him that a few words were enough, and it was not a matter of principle. But it's better to let him come over and walk around the stage in the afternoon, so that he will definitely play a little better in the evening. ”

"Well, I'll hit him for a while, it's so unusual!" Dean Li nodded slightly.

After pondering for a while, Dean Li leaned into Zhou Fang's ear and asked in a low voice, "Director Zhou, do you see ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ allocation of promotion places?" ”

Zhou Fang smiled slightly: "We, Director Zhu, have instructed us to respect the authority of experts. Let's just follow your score, it's inconvenient for our TV station to interfere too much. ”

"How can that be!" Dean Li shook his head slightly and said, "I think so." The little girl in your station sang well, the first place in the semi-finals will be decided on her, and the top five in the finals will be no problem, and the specific ranking will be determined. That student of mine was in second place, so that this kid didn't know the sky was high all day. As for the third・・・・・・"

"The third is Xiaoye." Zhou Fang took it directly: "The little guy sings well and deserves to be the third." The top three are so decided! The other rankings will be coordinated by Dean Li with them, and our TV station will not interfere again. Zhou Fang quietly settled the matter.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this." Dean Li readily agreed. His own disciple ranked second, and he was quite satisfied, which was originally his plan.

――――――――――

Ye Zi didn't know that the game hadn't been played yet, and he had already been escorted to the finals.

Although this may seem unfair to some players, there is no real fairness in this world! Even if he knew the news in advance, Ye Zi would still deal with it calmly and feel at ease.

The reason is simple. Whether it is the singing level or the background of the network, Ye Zi far surpasses the vast majority of the contestants, if he doesn't enter the finals, who will enter? What's more, Ye Zi also did the TV station a big favor today. If even Ye Zi can't make it to the finals in the competition they host, it will be really intolerable!

As for the ranking, Ye Zi doesn't care about it at all. There is no difference between the first and tenth places in the semi-finals, they are just going to the finals, and there is no special meaning.

――――――――――

The fifteen contestants in the afternoon finally finished walking on the stage. Ye Zi himself went up to try to sing two sentences, and stopped when he felt that his voice was OK. After being busy for more than two hours, Ye Zi's body was not tired, and he was indeed a little tired mentally.

Live tuning is not Ye Zi's strong point. If it was singing a song or playing a guitar, even if it was two or three times longer, he wouldn't feel so much pressure.

Ye Zi was ordered to be in danger today, and Zhou Fang and Ni Jun's trust made him unable to live up to it. For his work, he always demands that he be the best he can be. The large-scale audio system is very complex, and there are many difficulties in debugging; There are a large number of players with different characteristics; Coupled with the fact that there is very little time to spare, Ye Zi's spirit has always been highly concentrated, and of course he will feel tired after two hours. Fortunately, Ye Zi is extremely familiar with the EV system this time and knows its characteristics and flaws, otherwise in such a short period of time, Ye Zi really would not have been sure that the whole system would be debugged so that he is more satisfied with Cheng Dù.

Ye Zi sat quietly on the chair to rest. In another twenty minutes, the first group of semi-finals will begin.

Xiao Zhao sat on the chair next to him, and was rewinding boxes of accompaniment tapes back to the place where the accompaniment began in the order in which the contestants appeared.

"You can't rewind like that."

Ye Zi performed the exercise quickly, the whole person was completely relaxed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xiao Zhao had made a mistake that was not a mistake.

Xiao Zhao was stunned: "Teacher Ye, Teacher Zhang used to rewind like this. ”

"I know." Ye Zi smiled: "But there will be a problem with rewinding like this." Xiao Zhao, you must know that there is a lead tape in front of each cassette, and if you play it from the beginning, the blank will be very long. ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi put the poured tape into the cassette player, pressed the play button, and continued: "Xiao Zhao, listen, is there no sound?" So, you have to look at this place carefully, and it's called a level display. Ye Zi pointed to a place on the player.

As he was talking, the place of Ye Zi's finger was displayed, and the sound of music came out of the monitoring headphones at the same time, and Ye Zi immediately pressed the stop button.

"A jump in the level means that there is a sound, you stop playing it immediately, and then do it like me,"

Taking out the tape, Ye Zi put his index finger into the middle of the gear behind the tape, and gently turned it to the right, that is, in a clockwise direction, and the tape was slightly rolled back.

"That's right, as soon as you press play, the sound will come out immediately. If the accompaniment is in the middle of the tape, there will also be about five seconds of space between the two songs, as I told you earlier. Come on, Xiao Zhao, you can give it a try. ”

Although Xiao Zhao is honest, he is not stupid, and he will be able to see it at a glance.

According to the method taught by Ye Zi, Xiao Zhao quickly sorted out all the tapes. However, his heart is very uncertain, and he doesn't know if there will be any mistakes during the game. If there is a problem, such a difference will be counted on his head! Although the previous method will have the situation that Ye Zi said, it is more safe, isn't it?

The progress of the game in the afternoon confirmed that Xiao Zhao's worries were all in vain. Each contestant's accompaniment band was heard as soon as it was played, which made the rhythm of the whole match very tight. Afterwards, Xiao Zhao also received verbal praise from the leaders for the first time.

Xiao Zhao once again thanked Ye Zi for his selfless teaching, and put Ye Zi's status to a higher level in his heart. He didn't know that what Ye Zi taught him was the experience summed up by Ye Zi's sound engineers in his previous life in his actual work, which did not need to be verified and was perfect and effective. His heart was still confused, why did the voice just come out as soon as Teacher Ye said it?

However, this little confusion did not prevent Xiao Zhao from continuing to use this method. In the near future, Xiao Zhao has become the best sound engineer assistant of the TV station. Moreover, after years of hard study and hard work, he has also become a very outstanding member of thousands of sound engineers in Shencheng.
