37. Return
Liang Lei was standing outside the audition hall of "Sing for You" in the Blue City Gymnasium with the number plate at the moment, her mood was tangled and apprehensive, and finally she couldn't resist Liang Jie's instigation, but decided to come and take a look.
Although he had already found a corner position, he was still dizzy and flustered by the noise of people coming and going, and he almost wanted to turn around and escape.
"Little sister, you're also here to participate in the competition?" At this moment, a little beauty who looked like she was at most an adult pulled her clothes. She was wearing a beautiful cut-out dress, a large piece of snow-white skin on her back was exposed, and she also wore stage makeup, and she looked really prepared.
"Hmm." Liang Lei smiled politely, but her steps involuntarily shrank into a corner, she was no longer used to the enthusiasm of others.
"I thought you were a staff member, if I hadn't seen the cards in your hand. Hehe, what song are you singing at that moment? The little beauty continued to ask enthusiastically.
"An old song." Liang Lei chose "Yesterday Once More", which is really a very old song.
The little beauty was even happier when she heard it: "Sister likes to sing old songs?" ”
"Hmm."
"I've heard that there are a lot of masters among some people, and there are many who can write their own songs, and they will sing original ones when the time comes." The little beauty covered her mouth and whispered, even though no one could hear them at all, and she didn't care what they said.
"Well, the master is in the folk." Liang Lei nodded.
"Will the young lady be original?"
“…… No. ”
"Do you have any original friends around you? Let him write the same for you. The little beauty asked excitedly.
“…… No. "Is there one? I don't think so, maybe...... There were.
"Well, it's almost me, I'll go and see it first, and I wish us all good luck."
"Well, good luck."
Finally, it was Liang Lei's turn, and she worked hard to stabilize her mind and walk on stage. Fortunately, there are not many people in the venue, only three judges and a few staff members, compared to the crowds of people queuing outside, it is really much quieter inside.
The accompaniment tape sounded slowly, and Liang Lei's voice slowly hummed out with the rhythm:
when i was young i'd listen to the radio
waiting for my favorite songs
when they played i'd sing along
it made me smile
At first, it was just a small voice, and the three judges didn't seem to hear it too clearly, thinking that the accompaniment tape was too loud, some were flipping through the materials on the table, and some looked up with a confused face.
those were such happy times
and not so long ago
how i wonder where they'd gone
but they're back again just like a long lost friend
all the songs i love so well
every sha-la-la-la
every wo-wo still shine
every shinga-linga-ling
that they're started to sing so fine
when they get to the part
where he's breaking her heart
it can really make me cry
just like before
it's yesterday once more
As the music slowly moved to the chorus, Liang Lei also seemed to find a feeling to let go of her voice, and the voice like a natural sound finally arrived as promised, because she was a little nervous and slightly hoarse, but it perfectly matched this classic track from Europe and the United States, and there was a different style. When the three judges finally raised their heads, all of them stopped what they were doing and listened attentively to her singing each note.
……
just like before
it's yesterday once more
It's been a long time since I've sung a song, and at the end of the song, Liang Lei was still half-closed and immersed in the music, but was awakened by the 'popping' applause.
"Well, after listening to it all morning, I finally heard a sobering song, hahaha......" One of the male judges in a black T-shirt, who looked to be about forty years old, smiled like his looks, very hearty and heroic.
Liang Lei was still in a trance, lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you." ”
It's been a long, long time since anyone praised herself like this, Liang Lei felt the familiar scene and language in this fog, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and the corners of her mouth grinned lightly, but she looked at the three judges below.
"There's a lot of potential." One of the male judges on the far left whispered to the judge next to him who had just taken the lead in applauding.
"Well, the voice is good, and the image is good." He nodded, then turned to the other female judge on his right and asked, "How's it going?" What do you think? ”
"It's worth looking down again."
So, unexpectedly and without accident, Liang Lei got the promotion notice with a confused face.
"Wow, sister, you're awesome, I knew you could do it!"
Liang Jie has shamelessly eaten and lived in Liang Lei's house for a week, even if he has found a job, he refuses to move out, not to say that he has not found a suitable house. Liang Lei didn't bother to catch him, in fact, she understood in her heart that everyone was doing good for themselves, Huang Minliang, her uncle's family, and her grandparents. Liang Jielai refused to leave here, just because he wanted to accompany him more. Alas! For the sake of these people, in the future, can you be more courageous?
"Luck." Liang Lei smiled lightly and shook her head.
"Powerful people like to talk about luck! Is it next for the rematch selection of Blue City? Is it that after this election, you are going to go to the capital to participate in a closed training camp? Finally, officially enter the competition? ”
"Well, it should be, I don't necessarily have to be selected, there are a lot of talents in Blue City, and luck may not always be on my side."
"Well, I said sister, it's important to be modest, but it's too modest to be too much."
"Shut up, you're all talking anyway." A slap on Liang Jie's shoulder.
"Then I'll talk, you sing, hahaha......"
Liang Lei looked at Liang Jie and laughed like a second fool, and finally laughed too, this time the perfunctory expression component disappeared a lot, and the smile was more sincere.
"Mr. Yang, this is the current progress and related information of each competition area."
Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the most prosperous CBD building in the capital, there is a man staring out the window and falling into contemplation, the muscles are faintly visible under the thin white shirt, the facial features are as cold as a knife carved three-dimensional and psychedelic, but the gold wire glasses frame on the bridge of the nose adds a gentleman and softness. He had been looking out the window in this posture for a long time, and this person was the one who left quietly five years ago - Yang Chen.
"Well, let it go." He waved his fingers slightly, but his body did not move.
"Okay." The assistant was no longer surprised, and quietly retreated out of the office.
After a long time, he finally stood up, still slender, but much stronger than he had been back then. Slowly sit back at your desk and open the stack of materials in front of you.
He came back three months ago, and this "Sing for You" is also the first variety show talent competition he accepted after returning to China, and he is mainly responsible for being the music editor-in-chief of this show and guiding the students after the official competition in the later stage.
Quietly look at these potential students who are currently selected from various regions. Many, at present, there are 50 places in each region to participate in the re-selection of various places, and finally select the best and most potential from each region, a total of 30 people came to the capital for a month of closed training, before the official start of the competition, from which the best potential new male singers and female singers were selected, the competition was generally long and cruel. However, the heavens will descend on the great task and the people, aren't these the most basic things to bear. If you want to become a star of tomorrow, there is no smooth sailing.
Flipping through it, suddenly the pen in his hand clicked and fell on the table. It has been a long time since the feeling of blood surging into his brain has passed, and he looked at the person on the table in a daze - Blue City Division, No. 16 player, Liang Lei!
Thumb on the two-inch photo on the form, gently rubbing for a while, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly darkened, so deep that it slowly became cold.
Great, I'm back! Before I could go look for you, you actually showed up on your own! Very good!
