Chapter 1293 514 The Final Test [Part 2]

Chapter 1293, Section 514: The Final Test [Part 2]

Twenty-eight boys stood in a row in front of Yan Zhen.

The atmosphere was slightly different from that before the girls' assessment; some of the boys were even smiling now.

"Are you ready?" Yan Zhen looked around and smiled.

The boys responded in unison: "Ready!"

Yan Zhen nodded: "There are 28 of you in total. I will tell you the result now. In the end, no more than seven people can stay."

Only seven out of twenty-eight can remain, meaning at least twenty-one people have to be eliminated.
The stage and the audience fell completely silent.

All the choir members thought that only a few boys would be eliminated, but no one expected that the situation waiting for the boys to be evaluated would be so cruel!

Wang Xiaohu couldn't bear to look at the stage anymore; more than half of the people there were his bandmates.

He thought he was mentally prepared, but when Teacher Yan finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

moment.

Yan Zhen asked again, "Are you ready?"

The stage was completely silent.

Sudden.

Lin Ziyang: "Ready!"

Then came another shout: "Ready!"

As if they had found an outlet for their emotions, one smiling face after another reappeared on the stage.

"Ready!"

Just then, a voice rang out from below the stage, "Go for it, everyone!"

Then came another shout: "Go for it!"

And so, shouts of preparation and cheers mingled together, as if simultaneously giving all the choir members the confidence to forge ahead.

Yan Zhen is not Ang Lee; he wouldn't say anything encouraging at a time like this.

His task at this moment is to select people.

"Lin Yuxuan".

Lin Yuxuan stepped forward with his head held high.

"Courageous outburst in four parts".

Lin Yuxuan frowned slightly, then nodded slightly.

Even though everyone had already experienced the cruelty of today's assessment, they still couldn't help but feel a chill when they heard Teacher Yan's requirements for Lin Yuxuan.

Because Lin Yuxuan sings in three parts.

How am I supposed to sing this directly from three-part to four-part?
Just when everyone felt helpless for Lin Yuxuan, the death knell of the piano suddenly sounded.

Then, something truly astonishing happened.

"la la-la-la la-la-la——"

Lin Yuxuan seemed to have practiced many times in secret. Not only did he keep up with the rhythm skillfully, but what was most surprising was that his pitch was completely on point.

Even after the piano accompaniment stopped, his pitch remained unchanged.

He sang the entire 30-second chorus in one go.

"Okay, let's go down and rest."

It must be said that Lin Yuxuan's performance on the spot injected a strong boost of confidence into the assessment.

However, not every boy possesses such strength.

In reality, the five boys who were subsequently called out were all asked to change their vocal parts on the spot. Only one of them managed to sing the entire song, while the rest did not survive for more than ten seconds.

The assessment continues.

"Zheng Yuxiang".

The person named was a familiar face in the orchestra, the assistant principal of the trumpet section.

Zheng Yuxiang walked out of the line with some unease. He didn't know if he would also have to change his voice part at the last minute. If so, this might be the end of his journey.

However, the audience had very high expectations for Zheng Yuxiang.

As key members of the orchestra, Zheng Yuxiang and Yan Junze's trumpet duet brought the atmosphere to its peak on the stage of yesterday's wind instrument competition.

Therefore, everyone assumed that Zheng Yuxiang, like Lin Yuxuan, would be able to handle all situations.

"Teacher Yan."

Yan Zhen: "I want to see you in three parts."

Zheng Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice; it was his original vocal part.

As the piano music began, Zheng Yuxiang sang his part perfectly, without any prior expectations.

"Okay, let's go down and rest."

"Luo Junhui".

“Here!” A dark-faced boy stepped forward.

As Wang Xiaohu was pondering, he suddenly heard Teacher Haitao's voice beside him.

What do you think of Zheng Yuxiang?

Wang Xiaohu was pondering this question when he sensed something was wrong and turned around, saying, "Very good."

Haitao: "It's really good."

moment.

Wang Xiaohu: "Is his voice too high-pitched?"

Haitao: "I don't know much about choral singing, but if we strictly follow the vocal arrangement of a mixed four-part chorus, his vocal position is somewhat awkward in the two competition pieces we prepared."

Wang Xiaohu: "I understand."

Haitao: "Luo Junhui's singing is not as good as Zheng Xiangyu's, but there aren't many people your age with such a low voice."

Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Does Lin Ziyang also have to be eliminated?"

Haitao: "He has the same problem as Zheng Xiangyu. After determining the female vocal part allocation, the demand for the male vocal part is more functional."

Wang Xiaohu: "For the sake of balance."

Haitao: "For the sake of balance."

The camera then returns to the stage fifteen minutes later.

Yan Zhen: "He Zilin, try the four-part harmony again."

This was another scene that surprised everyone in the audience. This was the first time Teacher Yan had given a student a second chance before the assessment.

He Zilin didn't sing well the first time.
-
An hour later, Yan Zhen announced that the male students' assessment was completely over.

Compared to the girls' assessment, the boys spent more time on it.

The reason is that after the first round of male assessments, Teacher Yan called on several more male students to come up on stage.

"Everyone, take a break first."

The same scene played out again. After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he and Lao Tang returned to the backstage area.

This time, the two teachers stayed inside for twenty minutes without coming out.
-
Backstage.

Old Tang: "If we keep Luo Junhui and Wang Ruizhe go to the third section, there will still be too many people in the third section. What about Li Mingxuan? There won't be enough spots no matter how we allocate them."

Yan Zhen thought for a moment, then said, "We don't need Li Mingxuan, we'll keep Wang Ruizhe."

Old Tang: "Why don't we ask Brother An?"

Yan Zhen: "No need to ask anymore, it's settled then. I'll announce it later. Li Mingxuan is in fifth grade this year, he'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Seeing this, Old Tang didn't say anything more. In fact, he knew that even if he called Ang Lee, the result wouldn't change.

Since that's the case, let them be bad guys to the end. It's just a pity for these kids, they sing so well.

Yan Zhen: "Go out and announce the results. We still need to continue rehearsing."

Old Tang: "Hmm."

The two walked out of the concert hall, and the room fell silent.

Old Tang returned to his piano seat as usual, while Yan Zhen walked to the conductor's platform and turned to face the audience.

"Three voices: Yan Junze, Li Chenyang, Tang Zixuan, and Wang Ruizhe."

"Four voice parts: Lin Yuxuan, Luo Junhui, He Zilin."

One meal.

"All members of the vocal parts who have been called out, come up on stage. Girls, come up on stage too. Wang Xiaohu, lead the rehearsal."

The results were announced too quickly, and the tasks were assigned too quickly.

It happened so fast that no one had time to react before the boys, including Zheng Yuxiang, Li Mingxuan, and Lin Ziyang, who had performed exceptionally well on the assessment stage, were eliminated.

Wang Xiaohu dragged his slightly heavy steps onto the stage.

The choir, now reduced to half its original size, made the stage appear much larger.

Faced with the completely new vocal lineup, no one still had the smile from the day before.

But as the commander, Wang Xiaohu had to be on his toes.

"Teacher Tang, I want to see you."

As he made the gesture, the choir members straightened their backs.

The piano music begins, followed by a prelude, and then the choir enters.

The moment the new lineup's voices began to play, it was as if everyone on and off stage experienced a momentary illusion.

Wang Xiaohu seemed to sense a spiritual call.

Yan Zhen, sitting in the audience, raised his hand and recorded a video, which he then sent to Ang Lee.

He received a reply ten minutes later.

'The results are in, thank you for your hard work!'
