(Today, the rise in the collection has slowed down, with only 6 sheets, for a total of 173.) But the treble is already satisfied. As a newcomer, the requirements can't be too high, hehe. ）

(Okay, continue to code words, I hope that after 200,000 words, there will be good news.) ）

The large studio of Shencheng TV Station is known as the first in the south of the Yangtze River, but in fact the area is only 600 square meters, which is not very large, and is located at the south end of the second building of the TV station. Such an area pales in comparison with the studios of thousands of square meters in later generations. However, at that time, in Shencheng and the surrounding provinces and cities, this was indeed the largest and most advanced TV studio.

The semi-finals and finals of the Shencheng Division of the Singer Contest were all held in this large studio. The semi-finals will be video-televised and the finals will be live-streamed. Such measures are enough to show that Shencheng TV, as one of the organizers of the competition, attaches great importance to this event.

The semi-finals were divided into two groups, one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7:30 p.m. The judges will select 10 of the 30 finalists to compete in the final two weeks later.

The registration time for the two semi-finals is 9 a.m., and the interval will be used for lunch, dinner, makeup, walking on the stage, talking to the camera, chatting and farting, etc. Because of the need for video, the whole competition procedure is cumbersome and complicated.

The afternoon competition was better, but the evening contestants were miserable! If you are inexperienced, after waiting for such a long time, no matter how full your feelings are, they will be wiped out. If you can maintain your singing level and not drop down, it's already pretty good.

Ye Zi is of course an experienced veteran, and he carries with him the best weapon to kill time - a set of Jin Daxia's martial arts novels, which is enough for today's needs. This is also the only leisure book that can be bought on the market at present.

The contestants were separated from each other and placed in two large dressing rooms. On the wall next to the door of the dressing room is a chart of the flow of today's game. The four top corners of the room are equipped with small speakers to inform the players about the stage, makeup, and matching.

——————————

Ye Zi didn't arrive very late. After signing in to draw lots, Ye Zi entered the men's dressing room, and there were only three or four people in it, all of whom were players that Ye Zi didn't know.

handed over the accompaniment tape used for the competition to the competition assistant, carefully filled in the title of the song and his own name, and then, Ye Zi smiled and nodded to several contestants in the dressing room, which was regarded as a hello. Ye Zi found a relatively secluded corner, put his backpack under the dressing table, took out a water cup and martial arts novels, and began to spend this extremely long day.

The players came in one after another.

Some of the acquaintances would get together and talk and laugh excitedly, saying things like, "What are you singing today?" Words such as "You sing so well, you will definitely make it to the finals" and other seemingly caring or flattering words gradually became a little noisy in the dressing room.

Ye Zi frowned slightly, then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, smiled silently, and continued to focus on the book.

——————————

"Yo, read the book, little leaf."

Someone gently patted him on the shoulder. Ye Zi turned his head, and a small man with a flat head was standing on the side, looking at him with a smile.

Putting down the novel in his hand, Ye Zi smiled and said, "Zhang Lei, why is it so late today?" ”

Zhang Lei was Ye Zi's fellow player in the preliminary competition, and his singing of "I Am a Little Bird" left a deep impression on Ye Zi. Coincidentally, the two were also in the same game during the rematch, and the result of the rematch was the same as the preliminary round, Ye Zi was the first and Zhang Lei was second. After the rematch, Zhang Lei invited Ye Zi to get together and chat, and the two chatted very speculatively that time. Later, Ye Zi also invited Zhang Lei back a few times, so back and forth, and recently, the two have been very close. Zhang Lei's singing talent is good, and he is also straightforward, Ye Zi thinks he is a friend worth making.

"Don't mention it! I'm supposed to listen to you and just walk here. Zhang Lei said with annoyance: "There are a lot of people on these 20 buses!" I didn't even squeeze in after waiting for more than half an hour! In the end, I had no choice but to pull a fork head over (Shanghainese: called rental), and I was almost late. Alas! No one reimbursed me for this fork fee, and if I can't get into the finals today, I'll really lose it! ”

Zhang Lei's body language when he spoke was very rich, dancing with his hands, and his expression of frustration and regret made Ye Zi, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter in a low voice.

"Schadenfreude, huh?" Zhang Lei's eyes were round, and he feigned anger: "Believe it or not, I kicked you out?" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Lei leaned slightly and made a move to prepare to shoot. In his free time, Zhang Lei likes to play football, is a good speed striker, and his foot strength is still very strong.

Ye Zi still couldn't stop laughing, but his left hand stretched out casually and lightly touched Zhang Lei's waist and eyes. Zhang Lei couldn't help but sneer, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the whole person immediately sat down on the chair next to him.

"Canna (Shanghainese, similar to TMD)! It's this trick again! ”

Putting the backpack he was carrying heavily on the dressing table, Zhang Lei said hatefully: "Xiao Yezi, I can see your hands clearly, why can't I hide from it?" I'm already out of the way! ”

Ye Zi smiled, stretched out his index finger and shook it proudly twice in front of him, but did not answer.

Zhang Lei also stretched out his index finger and tapped Ye Zi twice, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be complacent!" Wait and see, I'll get you someday, huh! ”

"Zhang Lei, what number did you draw lots just now?" Ye Zi changed the topic.

Zhang Lei slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Everything is not going well for me today!" It's okay to pull the fork, there is only one No. 3 left in the lottery, you say I'm unlucky, right? How many numbers did you draw? ”

"Really? Who called you the latest? Deserve! If you don't draw the number 1, you're lucky. Ye Zi continued to smile: "I'm not very good either, No. 13." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Lei also laughed: "I think you are a 13 o'clock!" Haha, we are brothers and sisters, don't say anything about anyone! ”

Shencheng has a lot of exchanges with the West, and some Western customs are also practiced in Shencheng, and the taboo on the number 13 comes from this.

Talking and laughing, time flies very fast.

At half past nine in the morning, the contestants began to walk the stage one after another in groups of three. Zhang Lei is the No. 3, and he is one of the first players to take the stage.

——————————

"What a broken sound engineer! The EV stereo has made him unpleasant, there is no reverberation at all, and he is dying, how can we sing! ”

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Lei and the others returned to the dressing room, and everyone's faces were not good-looking. As soon as he returned to his seat, Zhang Lei couldn't help but whisper to Ye Zi.

"Is it that bad? Aren't you known as the little prince of the night club who sings all over Shencheng and never picks up the stereo and brings his own reverberator? Why can't you mess around today? Ye Zi teased Zhang Lei.

"That's a normal show, okay!" Zhang Lei waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Of course it doesn't matter if you perform normally." The sound is almost off, it doesn't matter. Today is the game, is it good! This sound is so bad that it can't even compare to the sound of the small dance hall, there is no reverberation at all, and the sound is so ugly that it really can't be sung. Alas, how to compare this game today! ”

Zhang Lei let out a long sigh with a depressed expression.

"Really? Is it that exaggerated? Ye Zi still couldn't believe it.

In my memory, the sound of the TV station is really bad, and the level of the sound engineer is not high. There are few people in large units that can seriously study technology in large units that ensure drought and flood, and the sound effect is relatively poor, which is an extremely normal phenomenon. However, when the singer sings, he doesn't even add reverberation, which is a bit too much.

Zhang Lei said "um": "You'll know when you try it later." Don't look at your singing skills are much better than mine, I guess you can choke with this set of stereos! Book that! I thought that the sound engineer of the TV station was so high, and after a long time, he couldn't compare to Xiao Cai in our metropolis, hey! ”

Zhang Lei pursed his lips and sneered.

Zhang Lei had been suspended from work half a year ago, and at night he ran in the newly emerging nightclubs in Shencheng to make money. He earns hundreds of dollars a day, which has long exceeded the income level of ordinary Shencheng citizens, and the crying poverty in front of him is just a joke.

The metropolis is a new venue opened this year, located in the downtown area of Jiangnan West Road, and the business is good. Ye Zi went to play twice at the invitation of Zhang Lei. The owner of the venue is very willing to spend money and purchased a full set of American EV professional stage sound system, which is a venue with excellent sound effect in the night game of Shencheng. The TV station's newly purchased EV system, which is also from the United States, is installed in this large studio. The sound effects of the same system are very different, and it is no wonder that Zhang Lei looks down on the sound engineer of the TV station.

The first group of contestants was told to go next door to make up. Ye Zi still continued his great business of reading books and did not take this matter too seriously.

That seems to be the condition for today's game. However, such conditions are borne by every player, which is relatively fair and reasonable. It's also something that they can't change. Instead of complaining and complaining about the performance of the game, it is better to adjust your mindset and accept the fact that the live sound of the game is terrible.

Of course, if the audition comes down after a while, the sound engineer really doesn't add any reverberation at all, and Ye Zi doesn't mind doing good things for the contestants. You must know that Ye Zi's teacher Ni Jun is also one of the judges of today's semi-finals, and he can use Ni Jun to put pressure on the TV station to change this situation.

This can be regarded as an additional benefit that Ye Zi brought to the players.

——————————

When it was Ye Zi's turn to go on the stage, it was close to noon. Before this, Ye Zi had clearly known that there must be something wrong with the sound system of this competition. Every contestant who came back from the stage in front of him was unhappy, and a few outspoken guys couldn't care that this was in the dressing room of the TV station, so they scolded directly. Ye Zi just didn't know how bad the situation would be, which would determine his next move.

Ye Zi: They were the last group in the morning, and before that, all the contestants' makeup had been completed.

When applying makeup, under Ye Zi's strong opposition, the makeup artist did not put on lipstick for him, but just spread a light layer of foundation on his face that was slightly darker than his skin tone, and outlined the nose and slightly thickened his eyebrows. The hairstylist followed Ye Zi's request and trimmed his short hair with scissors, and sprayed a little styling water after washing and drying his hair. Ye Zi's entire makeup routine can be considered complete.

When Ye Zi returned to the players' lounge, all the male contestants who had been tossed by makeup artists and hairstylists were so jealous that their lips were red and their faces were white, and their hair was shiny. Zhang Lei even jokingly punched him in the chest, of course, the consequence was that he involuntarily sat down on his chair again.

Such a result also made Zhang Lei keep chattering about his inner depression and unwillingness.

——————————

The sound engineer of the TV station is really poor. Under his operation, a set of high-quality imported professional audio systems is not as good as the sound effect of Ye Zi's rebirth when he participated in the show at school on the day he was reborn.

It may be that the bandwidth of the TV speaker is not enough and is concentrated around the midrange, so the sound engineer has added enough midrange to the system. Under such a premise, the low-frequency part of the system was even attenuated a lot by him who violated his principles in an unimaginable way.

In this way, a professional stage sound system that should have been warm and mellow and extremely good, the sound of playing records and singing is no longer a layered full effect, and all the sounds are squeezed into a flat piece, congested around the midrange. What's more, because the mid-frequency is too much added by him, and the low frequency is attenuated too much, the sound becomes rootless, and the whole hair is fluttering, and it is sharp and harsh.

Such an effect is too far from the word "professional"!

On the reverberation, Zhang Lei has wronged others, and there is still reverberation. However, the reverberation given by the sound engineer uses the on-board reverberator that comes with the mixer, not to mention that the effect is not good, and the amount given is also very small, and when singing, it is the same as no reverberation, which makes the singer extremely uncomfortable. Even Ye Zi, who was accustomed to using short reverberation in later generations, felt a little powerless when singing!

The TV station also purchased a batch of SHURE58 professional wireless microphones for this competition (Shure Microphone: one of the best professional microphones for stage performances), and under the operation of this sound engineer, the watch is also unbearable and the sound is terrible!

As soon as he walked off the stage, Ye Zi didn't care about going to the cafeteria to eat, so he asked the teacher in charge of the male contestant's dressing room for a leave, asked the direction of the phone room, and trotted all the way.
