Chapter 11 Pre-Race Preparations
There is a saying: if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk. Seeing that Xiao Cheng didn't even eat two bites of white rice, Ji Xingyue was secretly happy in her heart, and what she wanted was this effect.
During the banquet, only Ji Xingyue spoke from time to time to adjust the atmosphere. Xiao Cheng found out that Ji Mingyue was very cold, and she was like two people in the morning, but no matter how cold it was, it was beautiful!
After eating a meal, Xiao Cheng didn't eat the taste of the dish anyway.
finally returned home, Ji Xingyue and Ji Mingyue didn't leave, and after the three of them sat down. It was Ji Xingyue who broke the embarrassment, she took out a can of tea from her bag and said: "I almost forgot, this is the tea from my friend, I specially asked Mingyue to take a can from home, you try to see if you like it!" ”
Xiao Cheng finally returned to normal, he remembered that there was a set of tea sets at home, so he rummaged through the cabinets and found it, and ran to the kitchen to wash it.
Ji Xingyue waited for the water to boil, first scalded the pot with boiling water, then twisted out a handful of tea leaves and put them into the teapot, added water, washed the tea, the first time was the water for washing the tea leaves, and would not drink it, then add water again, and after waiting for more than ten seconds, pour the tea into the filter cup, the whole process is skillful and beautiful, just look at it, you know that she is a master of making tea.
Ji Xingyue poured a cup of tea for each person, and the three of them began to taste the tea carefully. After Ji Xingyue drank a cup of tea, she said leisurely: "Mr. Xiao, I don't know if you have paid attention to the National Singer Grand Prix held by Huaxia TV recently?" ”
Seeing that he was down to business, Xiao Cheng also relaxed, adjusted his mentality, shook his head and said, "National Singer Grand Prix? Well! I haven't heard that I've been rushing the manuscript for the past two days, and I don't have time to pay attention to other things. Then he reacted and asked, "Do you want to participate?" ”
Ji Xingyue nodded: "Yes, the competition will start accepting applications today, we are ready to apply for two places, Huaxia TV has the ability to cover the whole country, and it is the first time it will be held, the gold content is very high, if you can get a good ranking in the competition, it is a good opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop." So, I hope Mr. Xiao can help more this time! ”
Xiao Cheng didn't speak, and gently touched his nose with his hand as if he were thinking.
Ji Xingyue continued to lobby: "This is also a good opportunity for Mr. Xiao to become famous in one fell swoop, if it succeeds, I will definitely not treat Mr. Xiao badly." ”
The latter sentence is about the same, Xiao Cheng thought about it, this is also a matter of mutual benefit, so he smiled and said: "Since Mr. Ji said so, I will do my best." ”
With Xiao Cheng's clear answer, Ji Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the news of the contest came out, she went around asking for songs, but those famous songwriters had long been carved up by the old music company. Although I received some good quality songs, it was not enough to get a good ranking in the competition.
Xiao Cheng was her last hope.
Then Ji Xingyue explained the rules of the competition in detail.
According to the rules of the competition, each contestant needs to sing 6 songs if they can enter the finals. In the first audition, you only need to send the sample tape, and 100 contestants will be selected. Entering the second game is a live broadcast, and it is a knockout system, only 32 out of 100 players can enter the third game, the game is divided into four groups, each group of 25 takes the top 8, and the top 32 are produced.
The third game is 32 into 16, the fourth game is 16 into 8, and the fifth game is 8 into 4. The final 4 finals compete for the champion, runner-up and third place.
In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the game, the six referees invited are all king-level celebrities in the domestic music scene.
Yi Rou, the queen of Chinese pop, in Huaxia, if you hum a few words of Yi Rou's song, you are definitely smuggled over.
Lin Gang, the king of Chinese rock and roll, once set a record of 30 million copies sold on a single record, and no one has been able to break it so far.
Pang Yu, a famous songwriter on Hong Kong Island, has dozens of popular classics under his name.
Zhang Deyi, an internationally renowned tenor, has won the first prize in the International Vocal Competition and is known as the first tenor in China.
Xiao Qihang, deputy director of Huaxia TV Station, director of music channel.
Yu Fei, a special professor at the Modu Drama Academy, has devoted his life to the music career, and he is full of peach and plums.
Such a luxurious lineup of referees has attracted the attention of the Chinese people, and the whole country is looking forward to the start of this competition.
Ji Xingyue took out the sample tape of Li Jifeng, another participating singer in their company.
After Xiao Cheng listened to it, after comparing it in his mind, Li Jifeng's timbre was extremely similar to Lin Zixuan. couldn't help but glance at Ji Xingyue, this woman's eyes are very poisonous!
Fingers tapped lightly on his knees, Xiao Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, let him come to Yangcheng too, I want to listen to him sing live, and in addition, find another pianist, because if you guide two people at the same time, I can't be separated." ”
The songs sung by Ji Mingyue and Li Jifeng in this competition, Xiao Cheng plans to do it himself. He's not welcome, he's going for the championship with all his heart. However, every game like this cannot be taken lightly.
The first is the audition, and you can imagine how many people will sign up nationwide. Not to mention the newcomers of large and small music companies, let's talk about the major music, drama, and art schools in China, and the number of students is large.
And the oldest person who signed up is 30 years old, and the students who graduated in previous years, plus various wild paths such as bar singers and roadside singers, it is not easy to get through the guò audition. As the saying goes: the master is in the folk. With such a huge amount, no one dares to guarantee that some masters will not emerge.
Through the audition, it was broadcast live as soon as it came up, and the elimination rate was as high as 70%, and the huge pressure was a test of the singer's comprehensive essence.
Once it enters the top 32, it will be a strong collision, and it will not be a little bit empty.
If Ji Mingyue and Li Jifeng want to fight their way out of the encirclement in the midst of thousands of troops, their strength is there, and Xiao Cheng is not worried about songs, the only thing that is worried is to play on the spot. In his previous life, Xiao Cheng had seen many people play abnormally under huge psychological pressure, and if there was a mistake in such a competition, it would definitely be the end of elimination.
The road ahead is full of difficulties, but if you succeed, the harvest is also huge, Huaxia TV's influence dominates the country, the audience is too wide, and if you can enter the top 8 in the competition, you will steadily enter the ranks of quasi-first-class stars.
In this world, piracy is a felony, and once it is reported and verified, the whistleblower has a reward of 100,000 yuan, and the pirate is usually fined and bankrupt. Therefore, the interests of originality can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Take the rock king Lin Gang's single record of 30 million as an example, the price of each record is 20 yuan, and he can get 50% of the cost, about 250 million yuan. And that's just the sales of the record, the rest can't be estimated.
For such a huge benefit, it is estimated that there will be no less tricks in the game, they can't interfere on the field, but off the field?
Xiao Cheng and Ji Xingyue discussed in detail the accidents that may occur during the game, the heart of harm is indispensable, the heart of prevention is indispensable, and it is always right to do a good job of prevention.
Finally, when the sisters of the Ji family said goodbye, Xiao Cheng said to Ji Mingyue: "My guidance will be very strict, you must be prepared." ”
After an afternoon of communication, Ji Xingyue was very satisfied with Xiao Cheng, and on the way back to the hotel, she said to Ji Mingyue beside her: "How is it, do you still think he is a little hairy child?" ”
Ji Mingyue's face was still cold, but her tone was much better, and she said, "I'll talk about it when he comes up with a new work." ”
Ji Xingyue knew her sister too well, and said with a smile: "You just wait to lose!" In fact, Xiao Cheng is really good, he is a platinum writer at a young age, and the two songs he plays and sings by himself have now exceeded two million downloads, not to mention the book "The Legend of Wukong" he wrote. The female junior holds the gold bricks, you are really worthy. ”
Ji Mingyue said with a little annoyance: "You are very verbose, and you have become a long-tongued woman before you get married." ”
Ji Xingyue said: "I'm just reminding you that such talented people are rare, and they are much better than those rich children who spend all their time drinking." If it weren't for the fact that my sister was seven years older than him, my sister would have gone on herself. ”
Ji Mingyue glanced at Ji Xingyue fiercely, thought about it, and said, "Actually, you might as well introduce the second sister to Xiao Cheng, so that he is still your brother-in-law." ”
