"Wow. Is this the handsome Chinese-American friend you mentioned in Beijing? It's really handsome! ”

Before Lin Zhiyi could figure out how to greet the two people opposite, Ding Yi shouted excitedly.

Yuan Shanshan held Au affectionately

the

The smile on his face is natural and peaceful.

"It's really you!" Zeppelin was also a little excited to see his old friend. and Au

the

Say hello to Yuan Shanshan one by one.

There are Ding Yi and Zeppelin who enliven the atmosphere, even if Lin Zhi doesn't speak, the atmosphere is not embarrassing.

He wanted to ask, "How are you doing?" But there was an inexplicable force that grabbed his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

He looked at Yuan Shanshan, who made him uneasy, but the other party was naturally talking and laughing with everyone. Lin Zhi also vaguely glimpsed that her audition report card was also A.

He said goodbye to everyone in a trance, returned to the hotel with Ding Yi, and went back to their rooms. Ding Yi said that he was tired and asked him to rest early.

But after he took a shower and collapsed on the bed, he couldn't sleep. Yuan Shanshan's figure during the day was still dangling vividly in front of his eyes. Her eyes were bright and clear, her smile was no longer hidden, and she was more confident than before she separated from Lin Zhiyi last time.

"Looking at the intimacy of the two of them, they should already be together." Lin Zhiyi thought of Au again

the

Looking at Yuan Shanshan's eyes, during the time when the two of them were alone, nothing could happen. Now Yuan Shanshan has the freedom she once wanted, and she is also working hard for her dream, and her future life should be smooth sailing.

"I shouldn't have anything to do." Lin Zhi also thought gloomily, feeling an indescribable loneliness in his heart. He became an irrelevant person in her world.

This loneliness was gradually replaced by exhaustion after he had not slept all night.

The singing talent competition soon came to the semi-finals, Lin Zhiyi and Ding Yi rehearsed a piece of music "In the Depths of Sally Garden" with the mood of meeting the people they wanted to see again, and this time Lin Zhiyi chose Ding Yi's instrument is the blues harmonica, which matches this Irish-style song very well.

On top of that, it's the fastest instrument he'll ever find to get started. Ding Yi's lung capacity is okay, and it doesn't take much effort to blow.

The semi-finals were recorded in the studio of the TV station, and the judges and teachers are also some professional musicians, in addition to the young mentor Zhan Yun who was vigorously promoted by the organizing committee, there are also senior musicians Gao Da Shan Gao, Sister Lu Liping Liping, and the recently debuted talk show actor Lao Ghost. These judges each take on different roles, Zhan Yun is responsible for popularity, Teacher Gao and Sister Liping are responsible for professional quality control, and Lao Ghost is responsible for being funny and enlivening the atmosphere.

"Zeppelin, that seems to be my father's friend. I'll go say hi to him. While waiting backstage, Tang Wan'er met Teacher Gao, who walked into the dressing room accompanied by her assistant.

"Wait for Wan'er, wait until the game is over and then go, okay?" Zeppelin dissuaded.

"Why?"

"I don't want your dad to affect the outcome of this competition."

"Hmm." Tang Wan'er understood Zeppelin's thoughts, so she stopped walking around and waited quietly with him.

Mr. Gao walked into the dressing room, which was set aside for him by the organizer alone. Although Gao Dashan does not rely on his face to eat, there should still be pomp and circumstance.

As soon as he sat down, he was annoyed by the commotion next door, and yelled at the assistant and makeup artist, "Who's next door?" So noisy? ”

"It's Zhan Yun, his fans have been there early in the morning. It seems that someone has arrived. ”

"Is the TV station letting people in so casually now?"

"These are all contestants who are participating in the competition, just to see their idols."

"Zhan Yun, I love you!" The fan next door shouted loudly. The loudest person who took the lead was Ding Yi from Beijing.

Teacher Gao showed a look of disgust, "Today's young people, if they don't study hard, don't work hard, and don't cherish the opportunity to participate in singing competitions, they know that they are chasing stars." ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gao is right." The assistant responded to the words of the tall mountain on his face, and when he was free, he also secretly ran to the next door to ask for Zhang Zhanyun's signed photo.

Compared with the old-timer of her own band, how much did this young female assistant wish that the person she was with was Zhan Yun, but she didn't join Big Lemon Entertainment in the first place.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the semi-finals officially began to be recorded. Three Sony cameras stood by at different angles on the stage, and one was carried by the cameraman and walked randomly around the stage.

Under the high pressure of the stage spotlight and the strict trial standards of the judges, none of the more than a dozen contestants who came to the stage in front of them advanced.

It was Zeppelin's turn, and even though he already had a lot of stage experience, he couldn't help but be nervous. This time the audience was twice as large as in the Symphony Hall, and if he was lucky, the video of his competition was kept by the director and put on television.

"Come on!" Tang Wan'er cheered him up backstage. She had already secretly seen Zhan Yun backstage just now, and it shouldn't matter what the result of this competition was to her. And Zeppelin has already achieved better results than Lin Zhiyi in the preliminary round, "It seems that Lin Zhiyi, this kid, has really given up music." What's the point of comparing yourself to him? ”

"Hmm." Letting go of his inner baggage, Zeppelin calmly stepped onto the stage.

He picked up his guitar and sang the song he had written. Because no one had heard the song, the enthusiasm of the audience was not high.

Halfway through Zeppelin's singing, Sister Liping pressed the red elimination button, and once more than half of the mentors pressed the elimination building, the contestants would lose their qualifications from the competition.

The old ghost also pressed the red button, he didn't dare to be interested in this soothing and unnutritious saliva love song, and his persona in front of the public was a bohemian cool boy.

Zhan Yun and Teacher Gao patiently listened to his performance, Zhan Yun pressed the green pass button, and Tang Wan'er, who was watching through the video broadcast in the background, clapped her hands happily, "Brother Zhan Yun is really good." ”

Whether Zeppelin can successfully participate in the finals this time is the key to the senior teacher of this orchestra.

Mr. Gao lifted the microphone and severely criticized Zeppelin's entire composition, "The emotional level is not rich enough, with all due respect, the tunes used are also similar to the current pop music." But look at your playing, you were born professionally. ”

Zeppelin reported to himself, "I am a classical guitar student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. ”

"Then why don't you study hard and come to the competition."

"Hmm......" Zeppelin didn't think how to answer before he was interrupted by Mr. Gao.

"Young people should accumulate themselves well, don't be in such a hurry to come out to make money." Teacher Gao ruthlessly pressed the elimination button.

Zeppelin bowed deeply and politely stepped off the stage. For this result, he can also accept it. But Mr. Gao's evaluation seems to be referring to Sang scolding Huai.

Zhan Yun, one of the judges sitting on the stage, naturally understood the meaning of this old-timer in the music industry, but he was not angry. After all, the price of his judges' contract is three times that of Gao Dashan. It's a choice made by this market.

"Mr. Gao is really a senior who is very serious about music." The host takes the stage and continues to invite the next contestant to the stage.

"Brother Xiao Qi, I like this song of yours very much." After Zeppelin stepped down, Tang Wan'er comforted him. "Dad would love it too. Brother Zhan Yun likes it too! I don't know what Uncle Gao thinks, so I asked my dad to call and scold him. ”

"Wan'er, there's no need. Music is inherently subjective. Some people like it, some people don't, there is no need to force it. ”

"Hmm." Zeppelin's image became even taller in Tang Wan'er's heart.

Lin Zhiyi and Ding Yi followed Zeppelin to the stage. The lyrics of the song "In the Depths of Sally's Garden" performed by their ensemble deeply touched Sister Liping, "But I bei."

Ding Yi was so excited that he forgot to play the harmonica and missed a section.

was pressed the elimination button by the old ghost and Zhan Yun.

The final decision fell on Mr. Gao again, and Zhan Yun even suspected that this old guy was deliberately the last to express his position every time, thinking that he would get more shots.

As soon as Mr. Gao opened his mouth, he frantically bombarded Ding Yi's mistake, "Hee-hee-ha, is this the attitude towards music!" This is a regular national event, not a child's game! Go back and be ready to come back next year! ”

Lin Zhiyi and Ding Yi were also eliminated by him as expected.

"Stinky old man, if it weren't for Zhan Yun, Miss Ben wouldn't be too lazy to participate in this kind of competition!" As soon as Ding got off the stage, he kept complaining, and his voice was so loud that all the staff in the background could hear it clearly. But no one came out to stop it, and this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky said what was in everyone's hearts.

"Alright, alright. Didn't you see your Zhan Yun? Don't complain. Everybody's watching! "It was Lin Zhiyi who persuaded him." If you don't want to be kicked out now, just watch the video broadcast quietly here, there won't be so many pictures of your Zhan Yun on TV. ”

Yuan Shanshan saw that the players were eliminated one after another, holding Au

the

Cold sweat continued to gush out in the palms of his hands, "Do you want to stop here?" ”

Looking at the number in your hand, it will be your turn next. The host suddenly announced that he wanted to take a break between the sessions.

"The current players are really not as good as one year." Gao Dashan also scolded and returned to the dressing room and lounge.

"Yes, yes, yes." The assistant reluctantly checked it, and when Gao Dashan's mood calmed down, he secretly handed him a shortlist of candidates stuffed by the main board unit.

"Teacher Gao, take a look. These are the better players. ”

"What is this?"
