At this time, the second play-in round of the rookie singing competition was underway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAs a bustling area, Yau Tsim Mong District has a lot more competitors than other districts, and the strength is also very strong.

The teenagers on the stage finished singing Xu Guanjie's "Double Star Love Song" and waited for the judges to announce the results with apprehension.

Compared with the first audition, which only had one judge, the number of judges in the play-in competition has increased to two, and the judging conditions are more stringent. Let every player on the stage bear an invisible pressure. There are even players who play abnormally, resulting in the loss of the chance to advance.

"Introduce yourself," a bespectacled judge asked the teenager's name.

The young man hurriedly reported his name and said, "Hello two teachers, my name is Zhang Weijian, I am sixteen years old this year, you can just call me Jianzai." ”

"Well, Jianzai, I still remember you." This judge is the judge of the last audition.

At that time, he reluctantly gave Zhang Weijian a qualification, but he was not optimistic about Zhang Weijian's next performance, thinking that even if the other party could be shortlisted, he would be eliminated in this game.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Zhang Weijian's mastery of timbre has greatly improved. It seems that he really listened to his advice and made up for his lack of experience in music theory.

Although, the judges are still not optimistic that Zhang Weijian can break into the quarterfinals, or even the top 16. But Zhang Weijian's hard work was still recognized by him.

"I'll give you a 6.5 and I hope you work hard." The judge is raising the score card in his hand.

The second round of the play-in competition is based on a scoring system, and as long as the total score of the two judges exceeds 12 points, the contestants can be included in the shortlist. However, in the end, it is necessary to look at the score standings, and there are only 72 places in the third semi-final.

"Thank you, teacher." Zhang Weijian bowed gratefully and continued to wait for another judge's score.

"Actually, the song you chose doesn't suit your timbre, but your timbre does have an advantage over others, so I give it a 6 out of 6." Another judge commented.

Zhang Weijian nodded humbly in response, but when he heard his results, he was still a little incredulous: "Then I'...... Is it already shortlisted? ”

All because he mistakenly thought that he would not have a chance to advance from the eyes of the two judges just now, but he didn't expect that things would have a chance to turn.

"Well, to be precise, you're just shortlisted, and it's up to the score ranking to determine whether you can make the cut." The judge explained.

"Thank you, teacher, thank you." Zhang Weijian bowed continuously.

The judge made a gesture of smacking his hand at him, and Zhang Weijian knew that there were other players behind him. After repeated gratitude, he stepped down immediately without delay.

He now most hopes that someone can share his happiness, and this candidate is naturally a family member who does not know it. At the beginning, he didn't even dare to tell his family about the registration, because he was afraid that the greater his hope, the greater the disappointment, and when the time came, he would disappoint his family.

He is now on the list for the third semi-final, although he is not completely past this hurdle, and will be determined by the score ranking later.

But this pleasure made him no longer want to hide his family. If he can get the support of his family, it will undoubtedly bring him more motivation.

……

Zhang Weijian returned to the tenement building where he lived, and the family of four lived in a room of less than 20 square meters, which was really very narrow. Even when one person wants to pass, someone else needs to move to the position.

"Mom, what about them, brother?" At this time, Zhang's mother was stir-frying in the kitchen, and Zhang Weijian approached and asked. He is the eldest son in the family, and for this reason, he needs to share the pressure of the family for his mother.

"Ah Er went to pick up Ah San and Ah Si from school, and they should be back soon." After cooking the dishes, Zhang's mother wiped her hands with a rag, motioned for Zhang Weijian to sit down, and asked, "Jianzai, haven't you been working part-time these days?" ”

"Mom, I ......" Zhang Weijian wanted to share the happiness of advancing in the singing competition with his mother, but when asked this question, his heart immediately became uncomfortable. "I recently participated in a singing contest and ......"

Without waiting for Zhang Weijian to say that he had been shortlisted for the semi-finals, Zhang's mother sighed and said: "Mom didn't say anything to blame you, but you also know the situation in our family, and even the money to buy vegetables in the past few days was borrowed by Grandma and the aunt next door." ”

The family's economic situation is not optimistic, although Zhang's father left a house for their mother and son before the divorce, but this house is a rural building, even if the property market is soaring all the way now, it itself has no value at all.

And Zhang's father didn't leave any money for them, so Zhang's mother could only choose to sell the house and then rent a house to live.

In addition, several sons are still studying, except for Zhang Weijian, who has the ability to study part-time, the tuition fees of his three younger brothers can only eat the old books. Zhang's mother doesn't have any skills, and she can only do some odd jobs, and she can't maintain the family's expenses at all. Now he even needs Zhang Weijian to help some of his family through part-time work.

It's just that recently, Zhang Weijian didn't take the initiative to pay the money to the family, and Zhang's mother naturally guessed something.

"Mom, listen to me first. I participated in this singing competition not only for fun, as long as I advance to one more round, I will also have a prize of at least 10,000 yuan. Zhang Weijian informed Zhang's mother of the original rules of the game.

The latter did not feel happy for Zhang Weijian because of his shortlisting, but said bitterly: "Son, your career is not soaring, if you really don't want to study anymore, come out to work after graduating next semester." Grandma, I don't have the ability, and now I can only rely on you, the eldest son. ”

"I ...... Got it. Zhang Weijian's joy just now was gone, and in exchange for only a frustration and disappointment.

If he does make it to the semi-finals, should he continue to compete? Still following his mother's advice and finding a job steadfastly, Zhang Weijian became more confused for a while.

"You're not too young now, you should have your own ideas. But in this situation at home, if you can, your grandma doesn't want you to give up your studies so early. Zhang's mother sighed again. She knew that this eldest son was very sensible, but the situation at home could only wronged him.

"Mom, I'm back with my brother!" At this time, Zhang Weijian's three younger brothers also returned home from school.

Zhang's mother stopped talking to Zhang Weijian and said, "Let's get ready to eat." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Weijian helped take out the dishes and chopsticks in front of his three younger brothers. Despite the constant turmoil in his heart, he still faced his family with a kind smile.
