Chapter 8 Audition (I)

Bi Xia had a plan in mind about participating in "Avenue of Stars", but with the intention of teasing the two, he pretended to ponder, and watched the two jump up and down, scratch their heads and scratch their ears in order to persuade him, which was particularly interesting.

Finally, Zhu Jianye saw the smile in Bi Xia's eyes, pounced on him angrily, grabbed his neck, and said viciously: "Okay, you kid has learned to tease my brother now." ”

"Ah, Brother Xia, how can you do this!" Huang Xu also came back to his senses and rubbed Bi Xia's hair vigorously.

"Squad leader, I was wrong, really wrong... Ah Yi, you are dead, where do you touch ......" It turned out that Huang Xu also felt that ravaging Bi Xia's hair was not very enjoyable, and pressed his hand on Bi Xia's chest.

"Third brother, don't look at Brother Xia's skinny, it's really material, that chest muscles are bulging, and it's very strong!" After that, I still can't get enough of giving a thumbs up.

"Really?!" Zhu Jianye was also a little moved, and his eyes unconsciously smelled Bi Xia.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? If you also go to the Night Tiger Company to serve as a soldier for three years, you will also be covered in tendons. Bi Xia hurriedly protected himself, and the taste of being caressed by Huang Xuyi's hand on his body made him goosebumps fall to the ground, which was too terrifying.

"Night Tiger? What night tiger? Zhu Jianye was a little puzzled.

"Night Tiger Scout Company? Brother Xia, it's really a night tiger reconnaissance company! You did your military service there, idol...... From today onwards, Brother Xia, you are my idol, leveraged! Huang Xu is also a military fan, and he is naturally familiar with the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, one of the ace troops in China.

"Isn't it awesome?" Zhu Jianye usually didn't care much about the military and didn't know much about the glory of this army.

"Of course, third brother, the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is an elite company personally given by the old man Taizu during the Anti-Japanese War, and it has been outstanding in the War of Resistance, the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the Vietnam War. The more Huang Xu spoke, the more excited he became, and began to tell a steady stream of its glorious history.

As he spoke, the eyes of the two of them looked at Bi Xia a little more, revealing that this little bit of worship, students, is at the age of boiling blood. Bisha was able to serve from there, which was no small legend for them.

Since he decided to participate in "Avenue of Stars", Bi Xia had an extra task to review his music knowledge in the next few days. Bi Xia can be said to come from an artistic family, his father is a well-known Chinese painter, a professor of Chinese painting at Hangcheng University. When he was young, his father's biggest dream was to be an excellent director, but unfortunately the national conditions did not allow it at that time, so his father could only give up his dream, and later made a name for himself in the Chinese painting industry with his good painting skills.

Bi Xia can be said to have inherited his father's legacy, has a good foundation in painting, and he was successfully admitted to the directing department of the Kyoto Film Academy, but unfortunately an accident took away Bi Xia's father's life, and the son wanted to raise but did not wait.

His mother is a music teacher, with a gentle and elegant personality, Bi Xia is cultivated by his mother, and his personality is the most gentle like her, and Bi Xia plays the piano and guitar well under the guidance of his mother.

Picking up the music that had been abandoned for many years, Bixia once again remembered his mother and sister who were far away. I wonder how they are doing?

……

May 1, it is Labor Day, the people of the whole country have waited for their first long holiday after months of hard work, and the national talent show "Avenue of Stars" created by Beijing Satellite TV has also been officially launched.

"Avenue of Stars" is auditioned by the organizer in seven regions, and five players are selected from each region to participate in the national finals, plus five of the most popular players, a total of 40 people will participate in the national finals.

The national finals will also be the first time that the draft program will be broadcast live, with a total of 40 into 20, 20 into 10, 10 into 7, 7 into 4, 4 into 3, and the final three championship matches.

The whole process took more than two months, and you can imagine how sensational the show will be. In addition to the change in form, the jury this time is also very strong, and the organizers invited five top musicians in China to serve as judges, some of them are big names in the music industry, and some are top producers, and their influence is huge.

Early in the morning, under the urging of Huang Xuyi and Zhu Jianye, Bi Xia went to the Wukesong Theater in Beijing, which will be used as the audition venue. Bisha: When they came, there was a long queue here. One by one, in the company of friends or family, anxiously waiting.

After Bi Xia checked his name at the registration point, he also lined up in turn, and Huang Xu also helped him get it a few days earlier, and Huang Xu took participating in "Avenue of Stars" more seriously than Bi Xia himself.

In the crowd, there were students with thick eyes and a nerdy face; There are girls who dress young and pursue their dreams; There are those who pursue visual effects, and all kinds of alternative non-mainstream; There are also ordinary people who are ordinary and disappear in the crowd.

"Natsu-chan, how's the song ready?" Seeing Bi Xia waiting, Zhu Jianye asked quietly.

"Needless to say, Brother Xia's level singing is not good, and it really can't be said, the two songs "Fireworks" and "Poplar Tree" last time can be done by throwing out one of them." Huang Xu also said disapprerovantly, now he is full of confidence in Bi Xia.

"Hehe......" Bi Xia smiled lightly and was silent.

He had thought about this issue before he came, although he had not participated in this kind of audition competition, but he had seen such scenes in the news and memories on weekdays. To participate in the audition, the song selection is very important, and even whether the song is good or not is more important in the audition than the official competition.

If you know how to participate in the audition, the number of people who come to participate in the audition is very large, and the level is uneven. Don't say that the level is not good, even if everyone is a master, after a day of bombing, the judges are already exhausted and it is difficult to concentrate.

Therefore, the selection of songs is particularly prominent, the songs must be smooth, and they must be able to show their own characteristics, and they must give the judges the desire to listen to them for the first time.

"Please go to No. 301 to No. 320 to prepare" The crowd was moving slowly, and the staff reported the serial number to guide the players forward. The next group is Bi Xia's group, he is number 333, which is an interesting number.

The audition went very quickly, and basically the contestants would end after a while. There are only five judges, and they all preside over the auditions of the seven major singing districts in the country, which is very difficult.

As a master musician, whether or not you can attract them can basically be judged halfway through the song. Some singers were even stopped singing without even a minute, although cruel but very real and helpless.

After a while, Bi Xia and his group of twenty people were ordered and arranged in the background. It is a bright lounge with two rows of sofas in the middle and a small bar around the walls for the contestants to rest. The four big mirrors made some of the players who were cramming at zero time organize their expressions again.

The entire theater was divided into five closed small stages, each of which was led by five judges, and a six-member jury composed of five representatives from entertainment companies auditioned. The singers selected in this audition will be selected by five music giants to participate in the national competition the day after tomorrow. The system is very rigorous.

Soon it was Bi Xia's turn to be in this group, and twenty people walked to the stage in turn, Bi Xia was No. 333, and there were twelve players in front of him. While waiting, Bixia leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and listened quietly to the other singers.

On the empty stage, under the gaze of six judges with burning eyes and more than a dozen competitors behind them, the pressure can be imagined. The organizers hope to press the players enough in this way to knock out those who are not suitable for the big scene. You must know that the Ludao National Competition is broadcast live, if you can't even withstand such a small scene, how can you expect them to perform well in the national competition?

No matter what the strength of other singers is, Bi Xia is silent, this is respect for others, and his mother has taught him this since he was a child.

These contestants came to the stage, and the judges in the audience didn't even look up, prompting them to start directly with a cold voice. This made the players even more nervous.

Indeed, the judges have to screen so many contestants in a day, which makes them very tired, and most of them are unsatisfactory, and even crooked melons and cracked dates, which makes them even more irritable, so the contestants introduce themselves and they are not interested at all, and only when they meet very good performers, they will be asked to pay more attention.

Soon the twelve players in front of Bi Xia were directly eliminated, although the twelve players were indeed very amateurish in Bi Xia's opinion, out of tune, and broken tones often appeared, but this did put a lot of pressure on him.

"Please No. 333, the player will come to the stage!" The staff handed the information filled in by the contestants to the judges, and after obtaining consent, prompted.

Bi Xia took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and stepped on the floor with steady steps, playing this resolute melody.

"Hello judges, I sang the original song "Freedom Like a Dream". Although the judges didn't pay much attention, Bi Xia still bowed very humbly, with a confident smile on his face, and said in a warm and magnetic voice.

"Huh!" Although several judges were distracted and did not pay attention to Bi Xia, there is an old saying called "born from the heart", Bi Xia's warm voice revealed a sense of confidence, and his voice was extremely magnetic, which made the judges' tired hearts suddenly feel like they were caressed by the breeze, and the whole person was excited.

When I looked up, I saw a young man in a khaki slim-fitting suit, gray brushed slacks and black leather shoes. The facial features are delicate, the cheek lines are soft but distinct, the appearance is not very handsome, but elegant and masculine, the whole person is simple, refreshing and sunny. In particular, the whole person stood straight, and even if he bowed, it was like an open bow.

Bixia's tenacious and upright temperament like a pine and cypress is particularly dusty in this day's audition. The first impression made the judges happy, and they all nodded secretly, and they all cheered up.

Among the six judges, the only woman among the five judges of the "Avenue of Stars" is the only woman, the eldest sister in the music world, Da Qin Lan.

Qin Lan has debuted for more than ten years and has always been praised for her strong voice, and her medium and low voice is extremely rare among domestic girls and even internationally. The bass is deep but not muddy, and although it is heavy, it is still feminine. Her personality is straightforward and kind, and she is a female singer that Bixia admires very much.

Seeing that Bi Xia's temperament was so good, and seeing that he was carrying a guitar, Qin Lan glanced down at Bi Xia's information and said, "You want to sing the original song?" ”

"Yes." Seeing that the judges were paying attention to themselves, Bi Xia secretly exhaled. This time he participated in "Avenue of Stars", and he decided to play the original card. Original songs have their own advantages and are easier to add points. But the disadvantages are not small, first of all, the original song is definitely not well-known, which requires the judges to pay more attention to the auditory.

In such an audition, unless you can attract the attention of the judges by opening your voice, even the best songs may be ignored because the judges are tired. Now that the judges are paying attention to themselves, the worry in Bi Xia's heart has disappeared by half.

Seeing that the judges stopped talking, Bixia began to shake the strings. Bi Xia's voice characteristics are originally very good, warm and clear, and the high and low bass can be controlled. But singing this kind of rock, he prefers to suppress his voice and make a hoarse sound caused by the friction of his vocal cords, which will be more powerful and attractive.

"Will you still worry about me, my dearest friend, when I decide to leave everything behind and go on the road to freedom"

This song "Free as a Dream" is also a song by Wang Feng in my memory, this song is majestic and full of the pursuit of inner strength.

As soon as he opened his voice, the faint hoarse voice grabbed the ears of the judges and made them listen more carefully.

"Will you still be with me, the relatives I miss the most, have said goodbye to yesterday and sailed to the future"

This song Wang Feng integrates his hardships all the way from an unknown singer to becoming a rock star who has been widely watched by society, and reaches the courageous attitude of longing for freedom after the experience.

And this song brought Bi Xia his own mood, he escaped from his family and escaped from reality. The sadness, the loneliness, enveloped him, and he thought that this dark sky was a cage for him alone.

He was really homesick, he missed his mother, he missed his sister, and he wanted to worship his father again. He contradicts, struggles, escapes in reality, longs in his heart. He longed for his mind to be free, so when he heard the song, he was intrigued. Maybe the mood of writing a song is different, but the same desire for freedom is the same. Because they are also bound.

"I want to be as free as a dream, as strong as the sky, and experience the meaning of life on this winding road."

"I want to be as free as a dream, as tolerant as the earth, and light up the light of life on this arduous road of exile."

Bi Xia screamed hoarsely, as if to break through the cage he had set for himself, he sang passionately, the green tendons on his neck revealed his inner unpeace, but his voice was still steady. He used that faint and hoarse voice, that will break the unbroken tone, to tell his demands.

Qin Lan looked at Bi Xia, she didn't expect this guy who looked at the affinity and sunshine to be so shocked when he opened his voice, everyone said that music can sing into people's hearts, but only rock and roll can shock the soul.

In Bi Xia's singing, she seemed to see how the girl who was less than twenty years old was lonely and lonely in Kyoto, deceived and coaxed, and sang stupidly, singing one song after another, not knowing the future path of Lu Dao, whether it was light or dark.

Thinking of the helplessness after becoming famous, being packaged by an economic company and doing things against her will, she once doubted whether she was herself or not.

Now that she has mixed up, she wants to be famous, she wants to be qualified, she finally doesn't have to be as careful as before, but she still can't fully be herself.

She is aware of the pain of being bound, and she also pursues freedom, and at this moment, she resonates with the song.

Tears hung in the corners of her eyes unconsciously, and Qin Lan applauded Bi Xia!
