Chapter 208: The First Night of the Preliminary Round (Part I)



Quietly waiting, time quietly turns.

Although the time of ten minutes is converted into seconds, it is a long time, but counting the seconds makes the time even longer, but as long as the time passes, it will eventually pass.

While waiting, the mood of the crowd was repeated, and just as they were about to change again, there was a sound of heels colliding with the ground outside the door, and it was obvious that someone was coming.

Chirping!

A staff member walked in with a sign, clearly in a good position.

After he came in and clapped his hands to completely attract everyone's attention to himself, he said, "Everyone, wait for the sound in the room to be turned on, and wait for the host to announce the start, please go on the stage once according to the situation in the venue and your own serial number." ”

After everyone nodded in understanding, the staff member took a chair and walked near the door, reminding the contestant that it was his job to get on stage.

……

……

Waiting outside, in the Xuanshui Gymnasium, the lights shone on the stage very favoritly, only occasionally turning on a beam of lights on the audience, and it was fleeting, very stingy.

Taking a closer look at the venue, I have to say that Empire Good Productions has been able to run for so many years, and it has been so prosperous, not only because of its software-creativity, but also because of its hardware-venue, which is enough to save money. The comprehensive set, the multi-functional stage, the three electronic screens behind the stage with a length and width of ten are calculated as fine, and the various stages are shown to the 80,000 spectators present.

The unique guest seat that is not an audience or a judge is also full of people at the moment, including the media, and the agents or leaders of music companies, who came to watch the competition after being invited, and have been half of the judges.

In front of the semicircular stage, five or six meters away, is the judges' seats, four red leather chairs, it is estimated that it will be very comfortable to sit on. There were people in the four chairs at the moment, and they had just been welcomed in, although there was some distance between the chairs, but this did not prevent them from talking to each other, and it would be nice to be louder. Of course, they didn't turn on the microphone, after all, the live broadcast of the show has not officially started, and some words really can't be broadcast live.

"Brother Zong, you've been here for so long without saying a word, what are you thinking?" One of the male judges, who sat on the far left, said to Lee Kwang-jong, who was sitting on the left side of the center.

"Hehe, I didn't think about anything, I just looked forward to starting quickly and seeing if there were any good seedlings." Li Guangzong smiled faintly.

"Brother Zong's concern for newcomers really makes us admire, beyond our reach!" The judge in the middle on the right also turned to Li Guangzong.

"That's not it, after so many years, most of the new generation of producers and songwriters who have gradually developed in the music scene have been helped by Brother Zong!" The judge on the far right also turned his head. What he said is the truth, Li Guangzong's enthusiasm is in the music world, no, the art world knows it, and now he has such a high status in the music world, whether it is the music industry or the production industry, half because he has this ability, and half because he is an acquaintance everywhere in the music world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a hundred responses.

"Miss Wei, Lao Yu, why are you holding me so high? I don't have the money to treat you to dinner! Lee Kwang-jong quipped.

Miss Wei, whose full name is Wei Zimei, has been the winner of the best-selling album and the best singer of the Shenzhou Music Fengyun Cup in the last two sessions, and now in the music world, she can be regarded as a diva in pop music, with a big name and old qualifications, except for Li Guangzong, there are really not many people who dare to call her Miss Wei.

As for why she came to the producer's contest, the producer's products are sold to singers, and for producers, singers are the buyers, and buyers certainly have the right to evaluate their partners' products.

"Brother Zong, I have it, or should I invite it? Shall we get together tonight? Lao Yu smiled and responded with some liveliness. Lao Yu, Yu Qing, an ageless naughty boy, as a rare singer in the music scene of the Shenzhou Empire, he does not rely on his old qualifications to eat in the music world.

"Hehe, thank you Lao Yu, no need, we all know that we have to be here these days, but we can't make the comrades reporters too tired." Li Guangzong smiled.

"Brother Zong, do you have a name that you are optimistic about this time?" Pulling Li Guangzong into the topic, Lei Shi, who was sitting on the far left, asked again. The producer of the Thunderstone Shenzhou Imperial Music Scene, a very famous producer, has won many awards for his lyrics and songs, but although this person is talented, his heart is indeed a little small, to a certain extent, he belongs to the old and famous, and he has always been too strict with newcomers, especially for talented young people.

This time, he kept asking Li Guangzong if he had any optimistic young people, that is, he had ideas in his heart, and Li Guangzong would not easily offend him if he was optimistic, after all, he had to think about confronting Big Brother. But if not, hehe, talented and talentless, be ready for tears. And he has another thing this time, which is entrusted to him by Land Rover, the president of Windy Sunshine Music.

"Let's see, it won't be long since I got the list." He didn't want to say more about this issue, before the results came out, express his opinion, if his opinion is not a problem, he still said the past, if the level is not reached, it will be terrible, although he will not say anything, but the face is lost after all, and there is nowhere to find it back.

"Hehe, well, then let's talk about it after reading it, and I'll start soon." Lei Shi smiled.

Maybe it's because the time is coming, more than 40 cameras in the hall are about to start, the live broadcast will start immediately, and the four judges are not talking, they are all waiting silently.

……

After more than ten seconds, the hour and minute hands cooperated to point to half past seven, and the whole process suddenly fell silent, because a bell was ringing, and the first night of the preliminary competition of the Imperial Good Production began.

The bell in the hall is still echoing, the venue has changed, and a figure appears on the stage where the beam is concentrated, a man who does not know his age and is dressed in a black informal suit.

"All viewers welcome to the live broadcast of the seventh season of The Voice of China, I am the host Han Bing, not much to say, the opening has been expressed in the morning, not much, let us applaud and welcome the four judges, and then talk about the topic, let's start directly, the first night of the preliminary round."

Han Bing's style is as direct as ever, different from the politeness of other host formulas. After a quick, clear and simple opening speech, applause rang out, not for welcome, but for speeding up the session.

"Please look at the big screen, the question of the first night of the preliminary round."

After the applause, Han Bing looked sideways at the big screen, and the technical team also displayed the topic on the big screen in a timely manner, the live broadcast has begun, the competition has also begun, and the topic can naturally be unveiled.

"It's this topic, a terrible topic, I really didn't expect it."

"I'll go, who came up with this year's topic, why is it so level?"

"One of the indelible themes used in music songs, is the question lazy, or what?"

"I remember the rematch the year before last, the first half of the final before the big year, and the ...... That's the title. ”

……

Whether it's in front of the TV or at the scene, people who don't know the topic are complaining, no way, the topic is too old, it deserves to be a preliminary competition, and repetition has become a habit.

"The theme of the song is inspiring, the rhythm of the song is required to be passionate, not tender, the content of the lyrics is required to be the same as above, the lyrics and songs, the overall requirements, the passion gives people strength, simple and direct, no twists and turns, the song level is required, and more than five elements."

Although he also complained about this topic in his heart, Han Bing still fulfilled his duties very faithfully, reading the topic displayed on the screen.

"Okay, everyone already knows the topic, let's invite, the first contestant, Ms. Wen Qian, and her partner to the stage, introduction, singing."

After performing his duties neatly, Han Bing walked off the stage in the palm of the audience's welcome, came to his exclusive position, and looked at the stage.

Among the people who had been waiting in the waiting room, two people stood up, it was the number one of the day, they walked to the door of the lounge, but the microphone handed by the staff, took a deep breath, and walked to the stage.

The first person to eat crabs is always so eye-catching, Wen Qian and her partner's standing up and walking attracted everyone's attention, even Lin Feng, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, also looked twice, after all, they all wanted to see who was the first person to test the water this year.

When Wen Qian walked out of the door, everyone's eyes in the waiting room focused on a wall in the waiting room, and there was an electronic screen on the wall, and the picture on it was the stage. Knowing the level of the opponent, combined with your own level, and estimating the victory or defeat after facing him or her, is the involuntary mind of every contestant.

"Hello everyone, hello judges, my name is Wen Qian, I have just stepped into the great industry of producers, and I hope you will give me advice. This song of mine is called "Tears on Strong Wings", and the song and lyrics are all composed by me, and I ...... the song."

"This is my partner and the singer of this song, Chen Feng, he is ......"

Wen Qian took three minutes to introduce the song and lyrics and her partner, and then walked off the stage, her partner stayed on the stage, and he still needs to perform the song "Tears on Strong Wings".

The accompaniment gradually sounded, and the score had been copied and distributed to the musicians when Wen Qian introduced it, and these instrumentalists were all veterans, although they were not completely familiar with it, but there was no problem in playing according to the score.

The accompaniment gradually rises, and it is a very gentle accompaniment.

"Sometimes, we always dream that we have a pair of wings to soar in the sky, and sometimes we ......"

In the venue, it was very quiet, only the song was echoing.

The audience is listening, their simple criterion is whether it sounds good or not, tonight, watch a lively scene, make up a number of people, and by the way, it is their task to hear if there are any good songs.

Others, on the other hand, have to think a lot while listening, because they have a lot of responsibility to choose fifteen qualified candidates. So as the melody of the song sounded until the singer began to sing, the four judges were serious.

After listening to a few words, the four judges all frowned at the same time, asking for the passionate song to start with tenderness? If you can't grasp the back, this song will be completely off-topic. However, the four judges thought of another situation, if they can grasp the song well, the excitement behind it is strong enough, the excitement effect will be more prominent, and the song will be 100% successful and popular in reality!

While the four judges were thinking about a little distracted, a burst of passionate music pulled their minds back.

At some point, the accompaniment of the music became intense, and the singer was silent, pursing his lips tightly, but his head moved to the rhythm of the music, as if waiting, waiting for the opportunity to break out in silence.

Suddenly, the accompaniment of the music suddenly stopped, and the venue suddenly fell silent, as if the originally noisy environment suddenly changed and became very quiet, this is a blank period that is infinitely amplified by the senses.

After coming back to their senses, the spirit of the four judges who paid full attention to the song was even more concentrated at this moment, and the fate of this song was coming.

Wen Qian, who was standing with the host Han Bing on the side of the stage, unconsciously clenched her hands, success or failure in this move, whether you can enter the semi-finals depends on this voice, Chen Feng, can you also see this voice, come on!

The change in my heart is only instantaneous, and the pause is only instantaneous, but the moment is long because of psychological thinking.

"Tears on strong wings are not for remorse, just as we never grieve, tears on strong wings are remembered in times of joy......"

The incomparably high voice instantly penetrated the hearts of everyone present and went straight to their minds, instantly, everyone's heartbeat was synchronized at this moment, and the charm of music exploded at this moment, following the rhythm, moving with the music, and the passionate request for this song was done.

"Okay." Li Guangzong's hand slapped heavily on the chair, this song is good, there is a place for the preliminary promotion.

I don't know if it's Li Guangzong, and the others can't hide their appreciation, although this change is expected, but this height is unexpected, it's really good!

"Sometimes, we always dream that we have a pair of wings to soar in the sky, and sometimes we ......"

After the high, the song slowly lowered and returned to the beginning state, so tender, but the high just now has been engraved in people's minds, and it is difficult to forget.

……

Slowly the song ended, Wen Qian walked to the stage again, stood with Chen Feng who was singing, and waited for the judges' comments.

It's just that the first thing to greet them is not the words of the judges, but the deafening applause, which is a wordless recognition.
