Chapter 13: Preliminary Round (2)
(Today, as soon as I entered the author's backstage, Gao Yin was pleased to see that the collection had risen to 32.) It went up 5 in one day, and the treble was excited! Thank you to all the friends who support treble!! It's still the same sentence, as long as it goes up to 50, it must be added on Sunday! The treble never breaks its word!! )
(Thanks again to the book friend "Sennheiser" for the tip!) Let you break the bank, the treble is grateful! Suddenly!! )
(Friends who have passed by, the treble needs your support!) Point, push, hide, anything, the treble must be !! )
――――――――――
At nine o'clock sharp, the staff showed up on time.
In the order of first come, first served, the players came forward one by one to sign in, and at the same time, the lottery was drawn.
Ye Zi's luck is average, and he won the top three position. The top contestants in the competition suffered a little, and the judges would basically be stricter in their scoring at the beginning. But not necessarily, if the strength is extraordinary, it is also very possible to beat the crowd in the front.
Ye Zi doesn't care what number of lots, he just hopes that the game will start as soon as possible.
After receiving the registered sign card from the staff, Ye Zi and Cui Zhengguang entered the small hall next door, which was the venue for today's game.
Cui Zhengguang couldn't enter the contestants' area, so he went to find another seat. Ye Zi sent the accompaniment tape and sign card into the sound control room, filled in his name, signature number, and repertoire on the sound teacher's workflow sheet and walked out. At the front of the small hall was the players' area, and Ye Zi found a corner to the right to sit down, quietly waiting for the start of the game.
――――――――――
Ye Zi is not worried about today's game. In the past few days, Ye Zi has not only practiced and cultivated, but also started vocal training.
The progress of the training is very satisfying. Although there is still a distance from maturity and perfection, Ye Zi is not a rookie who doesn't know anything after all. In his acting career of more than 20 years in his previous life, his singing skills have already been tempered, but what is lacking now is the tempering of his singing skills by this body, as well as the integration of experience and skills with his previous life.
At present, it is only the preliminary round, and if he can't even pass the preliminary round with his current singing level, it is okay not to participate in such a competition.
――――――――――
The waiting time was a bit boring for Ye Zi.
At this time, the other players may be excited and nervous, and they can't feel the length of the wait. Ye Zi's adrenaline is not secreted too much, Cui Zhengguang is not around, none of the other players know him, and Ye Zi doesn't even have anyone to talk to. When he was bored, Ye Zi had to carefully look at the auditorium that was about to be used for the competition to pass the time.
The auditorium is really small, and Ye Zi's visual estimate is only three hundred square meters at most.
It is estimated that this auditorium has not been used and maintained for some days, and the wainscoting is full of cracks, showing the mottled marks left by the years.
In front of the auditorium was a small stage, and the curtain was open. There is a small door on the left side of the stage, against the wall, which leads to the sound control room, and a wooden staircase is built in the corner of the sound control room for getting up and down the stage. On stage, a microphone stand and microphone have been placed. Ye Zi estimated that the brand of the microphone should be the same as the system in the sound control room, which is the product of Shencheng Lefei Audio Co., Ltd.
As the first listed joint-stock limited company in China, the quality of Lefei's products has always been extremely good, before the import of products into the country, Lefei's products almost occupy the vast majority of the domestic stage audio equipment market.
When Ye Zi first entered the industry in his previous life, almost all of the products used in performances were Lefei's products. Time passed, "old friend" goodbye, Ye Zi's heart was a little excited.
――――――――――
The wait wasn't long. Soon, amid a buzzing chatter, a group of people rushed in through the gate behind the auditorium.
The judges have arrived, and the competition is about to begin.
The doors of the auditorium were closed, the lights were dimmed, and the announcer held a microphone and boarded the brightly lit stage.
Without the introduction of the judges, the announcer simply repeated the rules and procedures again, and the competition began.
――――――――――
According to the regulations, the first contestant will go on the stage from the left stage in front of the stage, and after singing, he will be removed from the right stage.
The male contestant looks twenty-two or thirteen years old, and looks a little handsome. Wearing a slightly oversized white suit and a bright red tie, he said that he was a contestant, and seemed to be more like a groom. The hair was smeared with hair wax, and under the light, the oil was shiny and shiny.
The male contestant looked a little nervous, his voice trembled when he opened his mouth, and he said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Wenze, the No. 1 contestant, and the song I participated in is "Youth Ambition is not sorrowful". ”
After a few words, Ye Zi concluded that it was impossible for this player to enter the semifinals. The sound is featureless, the treble can't go up, the bass is muffled, and the tempo is a bit out of track. Such a player is just here to play soy sauce and fill the number, wasting a high registration fee of 100 yuan in vain.
The pace of the competition was fast, the first contestant had just stepped off the stage, and the second contestant took the stage to sing. At the same time, Ye Zi stood up and walked to the left side of the stage to wait.
On the stage, a twenty-year-old female college student sang a song "Xintianyou" into "Xintianyou", her voice was so small that she could barely hear what she was singing, and it was obvious that she was eliminated.
――――――――――
"Next, the No. 3 contestant is invited to sing on stage."
In order to save time, the announcer stands on the side of the stage and reports the curtain directly, and does not go to the center of the stage.
Ye Zi walked on the stage steadily, came to the microphone stand, took off the microphone and stood still. Then, he said in a clear voice and clear words: "Hello everyone, judges, teachers, and contestants." I am the number three player in this game, my name is Ye Zi, Ye of Leaves, Azusa of Mulberry. The song I entered was "Can't Forget". ”
In the dark judges' seat, a judge looked at Ye Zi on the stage with an unexpected expression on his face.
The electric piano played the prelude to the song with column chords, and Ye Zi's heart was a little excited.
Finally--finally on the road again!
・・・・・・
Why in a blink of an eye
Time flies like lightning
The years that can't be seen clearly
The past that can't be erased
・・・・・・
The lyrics of "Can't Forget" are concise, timeless and intriguing.
Ye Zi put the microphone close to his lips, and his voice was placed very low and forward, with a little nasal resonance, and he sang the melody gently between his lips and teeth. The pronunciation and pronunciation are slightly restrained in the relaxation, but there is no ambiguity, just like the feeling of two people talking softly. There was a little sadness and sigh in his voice, no complaints, only nostalgia.
When it comes to the chorus, Ye Zi raises the resonance position slightly, opens his mouth wider, and his voice becomes more and more stretched and mellow.
sang the word "I" in the last two sentences, Ye Zi's breath was at the top, and his voice slid up smoothly, and the falsetto played beautifully at this moment.
The only technical problem in this song was perfectly solved by Ye Zi without difficulty.
There was silence off the stage. The buzzing conversations that appeared from time to time when the first two contestants sang were without a trace at the moment, and the judges and contestants were quietly listening to Ye Zi's singing.
――――――――――
After singing the whole song, Ye Zi bowed to the stage, put the microphone back into the microphone stand, and wanted to get off the stage. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the silence of the room.
"Well sung! Little leaf, sing so well! ”
Cui Zhengguang was very excited when he heard this, and stood up and applauded loudly.
Cui Zhengguang's voice was like a signal, and with his applause, warm applause rang out, and it didn't stop for a long time.
Ye Zi stopped, turned to face the audience again, and bowed deeply again.
The applause is even more enthusiastic!
Vaguely, it seems that there are also people on the judges' bench applauding and cheering for Ye Zi.
Ye Zi couldn't ignore it, so he could only bow to the audience one by one again. In desperation, the voice of the announcer came out of the sound system in time, and this wave of enthusiasm gradually dissipated.
Ye Zi saw the No. 4 contestant walking onto the stage with a stern expression, so he straightened up and walked down the steps in the other direction.
Returning to his seat in the dark, Ye Zi was happy and proud in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
The applause and encouragement during the game was a very common thing in later generations, and it was not outstanding. But now, more than 20 years ago, that's not exactly a good thing. Especially in this kind of closed-door competition, except for the judges who are the contestants, plus the relatives and friends who accompanied the people who came to stand and cheer, there was no other audience, and the reaction of the contestants after singing was unpredictable!
Generally speaking, the preliminary and semi-finals are closed-door games, that is, quiet games. As the name suggests, the arena is in a quiet state. The contestants sang on stage in turn, the judges scored, and then the next contestant sang on stage. The pace of the game is fast, and there is little applause to encourage it. Only when it comes to the semi-finals and finals, when there is a live audience involved, is it normal to applaud and encourage.
Besides, there is a natural rivalry between the players, and it is also very difficult to get all the players to applaud one of them.
Ye Zi was able to do this in a quiet game behind closed doors, and of course he couldn't help but be happy and proud in his heart!
However, there is still a little bit of strategy to be paid attention to in this kind of thing.
At present, entering the finals of Shencheng, ranking in the top five in the finals, going to Xiangjiang to participate in the finals, and winning the championship in the finals - this is Ye Zi's goal.
For this reason, Ye Zi had planned before the game, and before entering the finals, he would carefully maintain a tepid appearance. You can't be too bad and accidentally knocked out of the game, nor can you be too good and cause unnecessary trouble. When he entered the finals of Xiangjiang, it was time for Ye Zi to really make full efforts.
Ye Zi's caution is not a cup bow snake shadow!
For the game, Ye Zi has enough understanding and sober understanding.
Any competition has an end in itself. In this case, in order to achieve this purpose, it is natural to make prior arrangements within a certain range. The shady, then, will never be avoided.
However, normally speaking, shady scenes will not appear in the preliminary and semi-final stages. The organizers of the competition are not stupid, if they make a big move in the preliminary round and the semi-finals and eliminate many excellent players, such a competition will not be able to achieve the ultimate goal.
You must know that the competition ultimately depends on these players to achieve its own value and purpose. The greater the impact of the event, the more it depends on a large number of excellent players to participate and stand out in the competition in order to be successful.
The preliminary round and semi-final round are generally a simple elimination process, and the players who are too poor or do not meet the requirements of the competition are eliminated.
It's hard to say in the semi-finals!
For some needs, the organizing committee may deliberately eliminate some overly outstanding players, so as not to affect the final arrangement of the finals.
These are common game insiders, and Ye Zi knows them well in his heart. So today, Ye Zi's table is just a normal play, and he even controls it a little. Ye Zi just didn't want to make himself too prominent.
The same goes for choosing the song "Can't Forget". There is only one technical difficulty, how difficult can the song itself be? It is still very suitable for the preliminary round and semi-finals.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven!
Today's performance of the top two players is really bad, so the contrast between Ye Zi and the first two players is too obvious. Coupled with Cui Zhengguang's cheering, this has caused the current situation.
And this is not in line with Ye Zi's established game strategy.
Such a high-profile performance may attract the special attention of the organizers of the competition. In the future, when it comes to the semifinals and semifinals, it is really difficult to predict what kind of follow-up changes will be brought to Ye Zi.
Therefore, while Ye Zi was happy, he was still a little helpless in his heart.
