Chapter 327: Singing
Marina's attention was focused on the stage, so she didn't notice the other students in the team pointing and talking about her, but fortunately, after Barot noticed, she reminded Marina, and Marina put away her voice and silently watched the performance on stage.
Most of the people around them felt that Marlena had brought them pressure and discomfort, and only a few people simply admired Marlena's vision.
Ma Lina looked around a little, and understood that her remarks just now seemed to have caused some people's discomfort, although these people's discomfort was completely their own awkwardness, but in this kind of competition for no reason to "make enemies", Ma Lina is also slightly worried.
If these people spread unfavorable remarks against them in a preconceived notion, students who have listened to rumors that have a bad impression of them are likely not to choose them when they vote.
First impressions are important, and even more so in performances.
Because this world is not without the kind of situation where "a rookie entertainer debuts and is crushed by vicious rumors, and his career is in decline".
Out of prudence, Marlena thought of this step, but the other three, Balot, was slightly better and knew the end of "hiding clumsy", but the other two were out of the situation.
"Wow, that's pretty good, why haven't they been?"
"Eh, why did this team almost pass the song?"
"This band with nearly ten people has never been?"
......
In Ellie's eyes, these wonderful performances were too good for her to anticipate. In her eyes, the same wonderful show, why is the difference so big in the final results?
Therefore, Ellie's slightly naΓ―ve remarks also deepened the impression of contempt for Ellie among some of the players around him who were already prejudiced.
Isn't it just a dirt bun who has never seen the world!
"Prepare, we'll be there in a moment. β
The line was getting shorter, and a few people were only three or four teams away from the check-in table next to the stage, so Heidi couldn't help but get a little nervous.
In the long line, the students who are contestants will put their critical eyes on the stage, the more than ten judges in the first row are also meticulously staring at the stage, and the pressure is even greater is the dense microscopic students waiting in the audience seats and corridors.
The pressure from either side made Heidi nervous, and the stage in the small auditorium that she was about to appear on was Heidi's first appearance.
"Are you nervous?" Ellie asked, noticing Heidi's tightly pursed lips.
Heidi nodded.
"Just relax, just follow the way we rehearsed. Marlena didn't care about this, because she was absolutely confident that she would pass this preliminary trial!
The song they are about to sing "Snow Flower" is a relatively lyrical new traditional song, this song only has simple position changes and hand movements, so it is quite friendly to the three girls who have no acting experience.
Although it is simple, the stage effect is very good, not to mention, they also have the racial bonus of the Snow Castle people, and the northerners sing the songs of the north, which is a thing that people talk about.
"If you're nervous, I've got ......"
"Don't be nervous! It's okay!" Heidi was as determined as a soldier who had made up her mind to fight to the death, rejecting Ellie's offer, and leaving Ellie unfinished.
Probably Heidi only noticed the word "nervous" and didn't understand the meaning of Ellie's whole sentence.
What Ellie meant was that if Heidi was nervous, she had medication to relieve tension. Of course, this drug is also a chemical that she secretes and synthesizes herself.
This substance is not useful to herself, but it is quite effective on humans, and depending on the amount used, it can also have different effects on sedation, sleep, and even death......
The first group had already taken the stage, and they were at the front of the line. The staff next to them came to register their names and the academy, and helped them get ready by the way.
It all takes just a minute or two to complete.
With this interruption, Heidi's tension was also slightly relieved.
The four of them took off their coats, put them on the table to the side, and began to move.
The style of the costume is more traditional, but in the tradition, you can also find more bold designs. When they take off their coats, they already attract the attention of most of the people around them.
The costumes of these four people...... How can it be so luxurious?
Everyone's feelings are similar.
In the preliminary trial, nearly half of the people did not change into formal performance clothes, but if they changed into performance costumes, the judges will also give a good impression score, at least indicating that the contestants have a correct attitude towards the competition.
However, most of the costumes are rented in the academy or in the town, and only a small number of people will buy special costumes individually, and more than half of the people who buy costumes also buy the more affordable ordinary costumes.
Therefore, the well-made, brilliantly designed, and well-detailed costumes on the four of them are naturally quite conspicuous.
After all, Marlena paid a fortune to customize it from one of the most acclaimed tailors in town.
Each of the four outfits has its own characteristics, and when put together, there is also a unified aesthetic.
The most important thing is that these four costumes are tailor-made and fit perfectly!
All clothes, regardless of style, as long as they fit, then the effect of wearing them will definitely not fall into disadvantage! Of course, the premise is that the hangers are good.
"Next group, play!"
The host on the stage beckoned to Ellie and the others, signaling them to hurry up to the stage.
When Marlena was the first to stand on the stage, the audience, who were still discussing the group just now, was suddenly much quieter.
Not only the audience, but even the judges raised their heads and began to look at Marina. You must know that most of the time these judges used to wait until the show started before they would raise their eyelids and take a few looks.
Before so many shows started, the entire small auditorium was mostly noisy, and as soon as a popular contestant appeared, the noise would be louder, like the silence when Marlena took the stage, this was the first time I encountered it.
The girl ...... Who is it?
Why are her clothes so good-looking?
It seems that the effect is there.
Marlena is calm on the surface, but inside she has put down a big rock.
Immediately afterward, Barot followed him onto the field.
"This ...... Isn't it Barot?"
"Who's that?"
"From the Department of Magic of the Red Rose Academy, I heard that he was very cold, but I didn't expect to come to the Winter Festival party......"
"It's a bit impressive, is that the young lady of the Duke of Snow Castle?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I used to be the eldest lady, but now it's the second lady!"
Balot's expression was indifferent, and she seemed to maintain her "coldness" as always.
In fact, Barot has never been a cold person, it is just a biased impression of her by the outside world.
After Balot, there was Heidi, who was still a little nervous. If it was a noisy environment just now, it would be fine, but as soon as it quieted down, Heidi became more sensitive to the gaze of the audience. So, her steps were a little stiff.
Because of her martial arts practice, Heidi's muscles are quite obvious, but not rude. On the contrary, her graceful curvature and her rather cute face made her win the favor of many people in the audience.
This kind of favorability is quite strange, probably because none of the previous people have shown "shyness" and "nervousness" like Heidi, right?
Because it is unique, it attracts people's attention.
"Ouch. β
Heidi stumbles and almost falls, only to turn around and find that Ellie has hit her back for some reason.
This scene also caused a burst of good-natured laughter in the audience, and one of the judges also smiled knowingly and shook his head. Of course, there are also those who frown at this.
"Wow, sorry!!" Ellie looked embarrassed and apologized to Heidi.
Balotte wanted to cover her face and sigh, but she couldn't help it, already in her position.
"It's okay......" Heidi motioned to Ellie not to take it to heart, and quickly took her place.
Hey...... How do you feel less nervous anymore?
Heidi found that after she stood in her position, she looked at the crowd under the stage, and the nervousness just now disappeared all of a sudden.
I learned so many ways to relieve tension before, but I didn't use it much, and the few I used just now didn't relieve her tension at all.
Could it be ...... Just like Marina said, after taking the stage, you won't be nervous?
Ellie looked at Heidi's side face and smiled slightly, it seems that her substance is really effective, so can she still rely on this thing to become a doctor or something in the future?
But she didn't know that the smile she inadvertently showed just now had hit the hearts of most of the people present.
This girl, why does she laugh so sweetly?!
Regardless of whether they are men or women, the idea that just appeared is roughly the same.
The next moment the smile appeared, almost everyone was asking the person next to them, who was this girl!
After getting ready, Marlena coughed and then gave out the name of the show in a concise way. The whole process looks like a seasoned veteran presenter.
This is the credit of the etiquette learned in the snow castle.
And the judges, who had a slightly more vicious eye, also recognized a little bit of aristocratic atmosphere in Marina's words and actions.
This girl is not simple.
As soon as the show is about to start, the small auditorium will suddenly be quiet, and almost all the audience members will maintain respect for the show and the performers.
The tune of the song "Snowflake" is familiar to most people, because it was originally a ballad, but after the adaptation of a certain musician, the song was given a new life.
The first two participles of the main song are sung by Barot and Heidi.
These two sentences made the judges and the audience feel a little disappointed. It's not that the two of them sing badly, in fact, the level of the two is also above the average, but compared to their costumes, the real song part is a little too ordinary.
After all, this is a song and dance competition, not a talent show to see better.
Looking at the expressions of the audience, Marlena knew that the effect she wanted had been achieved.
Marlena took a breath and sang her participle in a loud voice.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked!
Almost all the judges raised their heads at this moment, frowned, and carefully looked at the appearance of the singers on the stage.
Ma Lina's singing skills, even if they are put in the calamus courtyard, are also the first-line existence, but people with such good singing skills have never heard of it??
You know, these judges are all senior teachers in the academy!!
Is it a new life?...... But if it's a freshman, why didn't there be any noise before, could it be that he made up his mind to make a splash at the Winter Festival party?
Compared with Marina's singing skills, what makes people pay more attention to her unique timbre is such a good voice condition that all the judges have the idea of accepting this girl as a student.
After all, Marina's voice has half of Mary's genes!
Mary, the singer, was able to attract the existence of Warrent and Vivien back then! Who are these two people! They are both great nobles! The aesthetic level of most nobles is beyond ordinary people, and even so, the two of them are deeply intoxicated by Mary's singing.
Even if her talent is not as good as her mother, Marina's voice condition is absolutely first-class!
When Marlena finished singing, she stepped back, and Ellie stepped forward and spoke again.
And this opening surprised the judges again.
This...... Although the timbre is different, they can all feel that this little girl's singing voice is almost exactly the same as the one that amazed them just now!
Listening to different versions of a piece is quite a fun pleasure for most of the judges. What they didn't expect was that on the preliminary stage of this Winter Festival party, they could actually feel such fun!!
It's so comfortable!!
The "amateurism" of Barot and Heidi did not affect the program effect of the whole song, and as a harmony, the two can be considered decent.
And the arrangement of the four-member group does highlight the voices of Marlena and Ellie, which gives the judges a certain understanding of their choreography level.
I think I'm a professional......
At the end of the song, the four ...... Oh no, Marlena and Barot gasped as they bowed to the audience. And Ellie and Heidi are still blushing and heartbeating, which is much easier than their usual training.
""Snowflake, the first review ......" The host hesitated a little and reported their final result: "Failed." β
Look, it's still ...... Failed ?!?!
Marlena looked at the host in surprise. Not only Marina, but even the audience and some of the contestants showed surprised expressions at this result.
Why...... Didn't pass??
Marlena looked at the judges quizzically.
"That. The judge, who sat in the middle and looked the oldest, suddenly raised his hand and interrupted, "Sorry, I didn't have time to vote for the show to end...... My vote was passed by ......"
Huh??
With one judge taking the lead, the other judges also raised their hands to indicate their voting results.
Their reasons are almost the same: they accidentally forgot to vote.
After the statistics, the final result is a unanimous vote!
Even Marlena showed a happy expression, and the four of them bowed again to the audience, turned around and walked off the stage.
Preliminary examination, passed!
