Chapter 454: The Draft
Following Chen Qiming and Akina Nakamori, it was Shin Seung-hoon who appeared.
The piece he brought to the table was his classic Korean song "Lullaby".
Although the audience basically couldn't understand Korean, they still gave him a very warm applause.
"Shen Sang's style is really similar to Chen Sang!"
In the mentor seat, Akina Nakamori just heard Shin Seung-hoon sing a few words, and couldn't help but bow his head to Chen Qiming and say.
Chen Qiming smiled.
He couldn't take it well.
However, Shin Seung-hoon and Chen Qiming do have similar styles.
Especially this song "Lullaby", this song is a standard love song, but with the addition of rap, the style is similar to many of Chen Qiming's love songs in recent years.
Two singers with similar styles are compared, and who is popular has the advantage.
Chen Qiming is not only popular in most Asian countries, but also in Europe and the United States.
Therefore, subconsciously, South Koreans will subconsciously say that he is South Korea's Chen Qiming when they mention Shin Seung-hoon.
This not only has the expectations of Koreans for him, but also the meaning of touching porcelain Chen Qiming.
However, it is undeniable that Shin Seung-hoon is indeed very popular in South Korea.
He is the only person in South Korea who can compare with Jin Qiming in terms of single album sales.
After Shin Seung-hoon, Leslie Cheung made his finale appearance.
His appearance directly aroused cheers that were not inferior to Chen Qiming.
As the most popular singer in the late eighties, he has filmed a large number of film and television works in recent years.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, his popularity is actually not inferior to Chen Qiming.
He sang to the audience the theme song of the same name from his classic movie A Chinese Ghost Story.
By the time he finished singing, the four mentors were all in place, and the draft officially began.
Admission of students.
For the draft rules of "Idol of the Times", Chen Qiming referred to the later "Idol Trainee" and "The Voice of China".
After entering, the contestants will choose a seat on the triangular seat on the stage according to their positioning.
Among them, the topmost seat is naturally No1.
The contestants had already been informed of the rules in advance, so after entering, they went straight to their preferred seats.
Most of the contestants chose to be safe and chose a seat that could not be up or down.
Until the few students who were valued by the instructor entered.
First of all, Edison Chen.
This guy is really confident in himself, and after entering, he went straight to the first position of the representative, which caused a lot of discussion from the audience.
"Alas......" Seeing his actions, Leslie Cheung, who was very optimistic about him, couldn't help but shake his head.
Leslie Cheung himself is a very modest character.
Therefore, naturally, he was a little dissatisfied with Edison Chen's arrogant move of going straight to the first place when he entered.
Edison Chen is indeed one of the more outstanding students in this group of students.
But if he really said that he was the strongest of all, it was obviously unlikely.
Several Japanese and Korean newcomers in Japan and South Korea who have been trained by SM and Genesys for a long time are better than him in business.
Luo Zhixiang on the treasure island side, and Qiao Zhenyu, who was born in BJ Dance Academy, also have their own strengths.
In terms of strength, Edison Chen really doesn't necessarily surpass them.
After many students are seated, the show begins to officially get on track, and the students begin to perform a talent show of tens of seconds in order, and then the instructors rate them.
The rating is divided into five levels of ABCDE, with A being the strongest with only eight positions, B being ten, C twenty-two, D being thirty, and E being the weakest, with no end-in-law.
The order of appearance starts with E-rank 100 and goes to last.
First of all, the first player to appear was a player from South Korea.
Because he came out late just now, all other positions were occupied, so he could only sit in the hundredth seat.
"Hello mentors, friends from the audience, Ahri Haza, I'm Shin Hye-sung from South Korea.
My goal is to become the final A-rank player and make my debut as a group. ”
After the handsome Korean boy walked on the stage, he said in Korean.
He didn't look nervous at all.
This is also the reason why Chen Qiming chose to cooperate with SM and Genesys.
These two companies really have something to do in terms of cultivating artists.
Although SM Company was established late, and only officially let its artists debut in 1996, their company's artists really didn't say anything about their abilities.
This can be seen from this person named Shin Hye Sung.
When the other students were very nervous, as the first to play, he was able to calmly face the four superstars on the stage.
"You can see that you are not nervous at all, you think you are very confident in yourself.
So, what talent are you going to bring to us?
First of all, you are the first, and we have high expectations for you! ”
Chen Qiming picked up the microphone and said in Chinese.
ATV is a Chinese television station, and the programs held are naturally based on Chinese.
Chen Qiming and Leslie Cheung will not take care of students from other countries when they speak, they will speak Chinese directly, and then the translated words will be transmitted to the ears of these Japanese and Korean players through the headset by the backstage reader.
As for what these Japanese and Korean players say, the scene is generally not translated, and Chinese subtitles will be added below when the program is broadcast.
Of course, when the show is broadcast on Japanese and Korean TV, it will definitely be re-dubbed, but this has nothing to do with Chen Qiming's side.
What he needs to do is to prioritize the Chinese audience.
"The talent I brought was singing, a song by Mr. Chen Qiming's "PARADISE".
Shen Huixing bowed to Chen Qiming and said.
"I'm glad you sang my songs, but I'm very demanding, and I won't give you high marks just because you sing my songs.
So, let's start your show! ”
Chen Qiming laughed and made a joke, and then motioned for him to start singing.
The accompaniment sounded at the right time, and Shin Hye-sung beat to the rhythm.
"As soon as I see you Shuangmu, I recognize it immediately"
"Stealing other men's sight"
"Feet on Red Heels"
……
Shin Hye-sung sang as she began to dance to the rhythm.
Not to mention, this guy named Shin Hye Sung is really very good.
His voice quality is very good, and his card points and familiarity with the song are also very high, and at first glance, he usually sings this song.
The forty-five-second singing ended quickly.
When he finished, the camera began to show several mentors.
Leslie Cheung took the lead in asking, "I see that you are very proficient in singing and dancing movements, have you undergone special singing and dance training before?" ”
"Yes, I was selected by SM in the United States in 1996 and trained at SM for more than a year." Comet Shen said respectfully.
"You sang very well and gave me a big surprise." Leslie Cheung praised.
After a pause, he added: "Although I would love to give you A, I'm not sure what the next contestant will be, so I can only give you a B for the time being."
Don't be discouraged, though, keep it up, I think you should get an A. ”
Ooh......
Although Leslie Cheung didn't give A, his evaluation of Comet Shen also caused the students to scream.
From Leslie Cheung's words, everyone clearly heard that Comet Shen already has A-level strength.
There were only eight A-grades, and now there is one less at the beginning, how is this not worrying.
"It seems that the Comet Shen has made a good start, and Leslie Cheung is very fond of you.
Now, Leslie Cheung's mentor has given an evaluation, so what do the other tutors think?
Shin Seung-hoon mentor? ”
Chen Qitai took control of the field and asked Shin Seung-hoon.
"I like your voice very much, but there are still flaws in the singing.
I often listen to Chen's song, and compared to the original version, you still have a lot to improve.
However, you're doing very well in terms of breath, and there's still a lot of room for improvement with a little improvement.
I'll give you a B, just like Leslie Cheung's mentor. ”
Shin Seung-hoon did not give preferential treatment because the other party was from South Korea, but gave a very harsh evaluation.
In this regard, everyone, including Chen Qiming, was not surprised.
Sometimes, avoiding suspicion is needed.
It's like Leslie Cheung.
The players from Hong Kong must be strict and not be too preferential, otherwise it will be easy for players from other countries to say that he treats differently and discriminates against students from other countries.
After Shin Seung-hoon, Akina Nakamori also quickly gave an evaluation.
She has a gentle personality and is glutinous, so she didn't say anything heavy, she simply pointed out a few shortcomings of the other party, and finally gave a B as well.
Chen Qiming's last comment, he saw that Comet Shen was a little nervous, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't be nervous, although I said that I won't give you preferential treatment, I will also not deliberately make things difficult for you."
Again, I really like that you can sing my songs on the show.
There are some minor flaws, but they are not hidden, and I am looking forward to your performance in the future.
So, so I'll give you an A, come on! ”
Chen Qiming has attended many variety shows, and he has also seen contestants sing their own singers on many TV shows.
Even professional singers cover his songs a lot, such as Zhuo Yiting and so on.
AMONG THESE COVERS, "PARADISE" HAS ALSO BEEN COVERED, AND IN THE TALENT SHOW IN KOREA, SEVERAL OF HIS KOREAN SONGS WERE ALMOST SUNG.
But among all these singing, Shen Comet's singing is definitely a very good one.
Just like the previous mentors praised, Comet Shen's voice is really good.
Well, I can almost compare with Chen Qiming himself.
"Oh my God! Ahh ”
"Mentor Chen Qiming is really gentle."
"I'm wondering if I'm going to sing his songs too."
"Don't think about it, the reason why Tutor Chen Qiming gave A is entirely because Comet Shen sings well. If you don't sing well, no matter how much Mentor Chen Qiming likes you to sing his songs, he won't give you a high evaluation. ”
Chen Qiming unexpectedly reversed to A, which not only made Shen Comet stunned for a moment, but also caused the students behind him to whisper.
"Congratulations to the Comet Shen, your current rating rating is three B's, one A, rounded, you are temporarily ranked in the B region, please continue to work hard."
Chen Qitai began to guide Comet Shin back to his seat.
Although Comet Shen has already obtained the B-level rating, but now the first round of selection is still continuing, and there are people in the B-level positions, and these people have not yet been ranked, so it is impossible for them to step down now.
So he will continue to stay in the last position in this episode.
However, although he is still in the last position, his performance has attracted the attention of the audience and the program team.
Needless to say, the program director in the background gave an order to the photographer that in this episode of the program, more shots of Comet Shen will be given.
This is a star-making show, and at the same time, it is also a money-making show.
In the later rounds of qualifying, there will be votes from the audience.
Shin's comet will be a powerful tool to entice South Korean audiences to vote.
But as long as he attracts one more vote, he can earn a dollar for the program team.
Well, this ATV vote originally Chen Qi wanted to engage in online voting, but considering that the Internet in Asia is still underdeveloped, there are still very few people who go online.
So in the end, I chose to sell the players' program number plates to attract money.
At that time, in each region, ATV will have a special place to sell program number plate tickets, and after fans buy it, they will vote for it in a special voting area, and finally make statistics, who has more supporters, and whose ranking is naturally higher.
While this way of voting can be troublesome, trouble has the benefit of being troublesome.
It's no wonder that the current mobile phone is not yet fully popular, otherwise, Chen Qiming really wants to make a text message vote similar to the happy girl voice and happy boy in the later generations.
A few cents for a text message.
It's easy and fast.
After Shin's comet, the second player started to play.
Not every player is a talented player like Shen Comet and has been trained in advance.
Several students who appeared in the follow-up participated in the show as amateurs.
Although they have passed the test in appearance, the quality is not very good in terms of talent.
Of the seven players in a row, almost all of them were not in the eyes of several mentors, and all of them were rated as D and E.
Until the ninth player.
After he appeared on the stage, he directly sang Chen Qiming's "(Bingbing Bing)" and had a fried dance.
caused the audience to scream one after another.
And this guy is also a Korean, named Lee Min-woo, and Shin Comet is also from SM Company.
In the end, this one named Lee Min-woo got the only A so far.
At present, the two highest ratings are all Koreans, which caused the players from Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan to look ugly.
However, it didn't last long, and a few minutes later, Guo Pinchao from Treasure Island and Hideaki Long Ze from Japan each got an A.
After that, players began to get A's and B's one after another, so that the top positions became fewer and fewer.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, all the players had been rated, and only Edison Chen, who sat in the first position as soon as he took the stage, had not yet been ranked.
At present, there are a total of six players who have won the A-level, namely Li Minyu from South Korea, TAE from Thailand, Guo Pinchao and Luo Zhixiang from Baodao, Qiao Zhenyu from Beijing Dance Students, and Long Ze Xiuming from Japan.
In addition, there are several players with good strength who have entered A, such as Huo Jianhua, Shen Comet and so on.
It can be said that the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.
In this case, Edison Chen entered as the last contestant.
