I turned out to be top-notch!

Chu Xiaoxiao's fingering skills when playing the guitar are not unfamiliar, but are very skillful. However, her singing skills can only be regarded as ordinary, but her voice is quite textured and can be regarded as above average.

In a scene where most of the students were singing and dancing, "Those Flowers", a song with a folk style, seemed a bit refreshing and surprising when it was performed at this moment.

Coupled with her good looks and sizable figure, Chu Xiaoxiao made a very good impression on her mentors.

This surprised many students present. No one found that an online article author had the qualifications to debut in a group.

Some students began to be secretly wary.

You know, although Chu Xiaoxiao is an Internet article author, his popularity on the Internet is not low. Not only can he stand at the top of Internet articles, but he also has tens of millions of fans on the entire Internet.

If her performance is stable enough, she may not be absent on the road to forming a group.

But what everyone didn't know was that Chu Xiaoxiao was calm on the surface, but she was already panicking inside, and even trembled nervously. Her eyes wandered, and she didn't observe the reactions of the people at the scene. When the music played, she just My mind was blank, and I sang the song "Those Flowers" relying on mechanized inertial reactions.

She didn't sing well and could only perform about two-thirds of her usual skills.

The reason why she chose this song is that "Those Flowers" is one of her favorite songs recently.

After the song was released, there was a period of time when Chu Xiaoxiao sang the song hundreds of times, and now she can sing all the lyrics of the song smoothly.

Singing this song does not require great singing skills. Although Chu Xiaoxiao's singing is not comparable to Zhou Dingran's, it is already considered very good for an amateur player, and all the intonations are not lost. This is It's enough.

For the program team, Chu Xiaoxiao's arrival not only enriches the team, but also relies on Chu Xiaoxiao's popularity in the online literary world to attract a large number of viewers to pay attention to this program. Therefore, even if Chu Xiaoxiao is not good at singing, as long as he is not tone deaf, he can basically She will be recommended to "The Heart of the Nation", and the program team will give her more shots to ensure that Chu Xiaoxiao survives the first three episodes.

Looking at it now, Chu Xiaoxiao's performance is very good and she can basically last until the first round of performances.

"People's Heartbeat" continues the traditional format of previous talent shows, that is, after the initial stage performance, the students form teams one after another for three rounds of performances.

In each round of performances, some contestants will be eliminated. Until the end of the three rounds of performances, a nationwide voting will be held in the finals. The students in the finals will then be ranked according to the number of votes received inside and outside the venue. The top-ranked students will The students made their debut as a group directly on the spot.

Whether they can win in the first round of joint performances is the main task that the students who are currently performing for the first time are urgently facing.

Only those who perform better on the first stage will have priority in selecting the first round of performance repertoire. In addition, the performance on the first stage is usually the best place for students to attract a large number of fans and absorb popularity in the early stage.

More than half of the students who can perform well in the preliminary stage and enter Class A will appear in the finals.

The remaining half of the quota will also be created in Class B to Class F. The lower the ranking, the lower the chance. Especially the students in Class F will basically not be given many shots, so after arriving in Class F, it will be almost impossible. It's hard to change your destiny again.

Of course, words cannot be said to death. After all, when Yang Chaoyue participated in the talent show "Produce 101", he climbed up from the lowest class F, and finally debuted in a group, and became the most valuable artist in the group.

But not everyone is as lucky as Yang Chaoyue.

But even Yang Chaoyue performed well in the first stage and became popular by marketing the character of "village beauty". Later, relying on the support of massive popularity, he climbed up from Class F step by step, so whether he can rise from Class F Rise has little to do with strength.

As long as you perform well on the first stage, you can still accumulate a lot of popularity.

Many people understand this truth, and the students who perform live also know it well. After all, the talent show has been around for so many years, and all the rules have been understood by major brokerage companies, and the students who come to sign up also know it. Everyone is not a good person. Even Chu Xiaoxiao, a contestant outside the entertainment industry, was popularized a lot of entertainment industry draft knowledge by a friend writer who writes entertainment novels in the industry before coming.

So as soon as Chu Xiaoxiao came, she played out her best song. Even in order to practice this song, her delicate fingers were scratched by the strings, and the pads of her fingers were almost calloused.

And her efforts paid off.

At least many students now look at Chu Xiaoxiao with admiration, and even the five instructors on the stage were a little surprised.

When the song "Those Flowers" ended, the audience burst into huge applause.

"Chu Xiaoxiao, I read in the information that you are an online literature author, and you have created such popular masterpieces as "The Dawn Wind and the Waning Moon" and have tens of millions of book fans on the Internet. Can you tell me how you do it? Did you create it?" Wu Xuefei asked first.

Chu Xiaoxiao quickly replied: "Created with a keyboard."

"Ah?" Wu Xuefei looked stunned.

The other students in the audience burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoxiao quickly explained: "It is indeed created with a keyboard. I can break three keyboards a year."

Wu Xuefei couldn't laugh or cry, and was even a little helpless, not because the other party answered the question incorrectly, but because the other party was so serious and serious at the same time, he could still answer the question incorrectly.

"Hahaha, one word, absolute!"

Wei Xiao applauded, shook his head and laughed.

Cao Zhan picked up the microphone at this time and asked somewhat seriously: "Student Chu Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you a very serious question. If you finally make your debut as a group, will you still be willing to pick up a pen and write articles again?"

"I don't want to!"

Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle and explained seriously: "Writing with a pen is too slow and very tiring. I'm still used to using the keyboard."

Cao Zhan: "..."

When Pu Lanyu saw Cao Zhan deflated, she almost cried with laughter, "Okay, okay, let's play like this...Chu Xiaoxiao, I've actually heard of you on the Internet. I heard that your idol is Zhou Dingran. For the idol Zhou Dingran also specifically applied for the Nortel Literature Department during the college entrance examination, but this is not right. Zhou Dingran is in the Performance Department, how did you get into the Literature Department? You are not sincere."

"no no."

Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly and explained again: "It's not because I applied for the Nortel Literature Department, but I can only apply for the Nortel Literature Department because I couldn't get into the Performance Department if I wanted to, because the Performance Department requires the art exam half a year in advance. , I had no chance to participate at that time, so I had to choose the major of Nortel Literature Department. No matter what department it was, I was also a member of Nortel, and I was on the same campus as senior brother Zhou Dingran."

Many people didn't know about this revelation, which caused an uproar on the scene.

Pu Lanyu received a satisfactory reply. She was about to praise Chu Xiaoxiao for her perseverance, but unexpectedly, Cao Zhan suddenly asked: "Then you came to participate in "The Heart of the Nation" also because of your senior brother Zhou Dingran?"

As soon as these words came out, the students present immediately started to boo.

Even the camera crew was all focused on Zhou Dingran at the instructor's table.

Zhou Dingran just showed a faint smile, picked up the phone and said: "Junior sister Chu Xiaoxiao and I have met several times in school, but although we are brothers and sisters, I will not lower my respect for him because of this relationship. Regarding the students’ requirements, especially this initial stage evaluation, I will be more cautious and strict in making choices.”

The audience burst into applause, and everyone showed respect for Zhou Dingran's speech. But this is only superficial. Many students are already wailing in their hearts. The relationship between the instructor and the students is so close. What a joke!

After a moment of communication, the five instructors soon began to gather together to discuss the evaluation results.

"Chu Xiaoxiao can sing well, and she chooses songs that emphasize her strengths and avoid weaknesses. It suits her very well."

"Well, he's a good material, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a professional background. If he practices for a few years, he still hopes to become a good singer."

"There is still a lot of room for improvement in her singing skills, but for this performance alone, she did sing very steadily. It seems that she has practiced hard."

"Excellent, I can give it a B grade."

"Taking into account her comprehensive conditions, she is indeed worthy of a B grade."

"Then I'll give it to B too."

"I give C."

Looking at the discussion among the instructors, Zhou Dingran finally spoke up: "After all, it is a girl group talent show. Her singing skills are not up to standard here, and the most important dancing ability is not displayed at all. All things considered, , I give C.”

The other instructors looked a little surprised.

Wei Xiao also found it strange that he could give a score of B only because the other party was in the same college as Zhou Dingran, but it was Zhou Dingran who gave him the lowest score.

Do the two of them have a grudge?

"Teacher Zhou is trying to avoid suspicion, I understand." Pu Lanyu said with a smile.

Zhou Dingran said nothing.

The others did not ask any more questions. After combining their respective evaluation results, Wu Xuefei finally picked up the microphone and said: "Based on the comprehensive judgment of the five instructors, student Chu Xiaoxiao, your final result is B-. Congratulations on entering Class B. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience gave him warm applause.

However, many students have strange looks on their faces, because in the eyes of many people, Chu Xiaoxiao’s strength does not seem to have reached the passing line of Class B. At least compared to some of the previous students in Class A and Class B, Chu Xiaoxiao’s performance is still considered It's good, but it's very monotonous, and even the singing doesn't feel amazing.

"The shady story..."

Many students wailed inwardly, but dared not speak out in anger.

Chu Xiaoxiao also quickly bowed to thank him. When he raised his head again, he saw Wei Xiao picking up the microphone and explaining: "Let me tell you, except for Teacher Zhou, all the five instructors gave Chu Xiaoxiao a B-level rating, and Teacher Zhou He gave a more cautious assessment that he personally felt was C-level. According to the rules, if there are four B-levels and one C-level, then Chu Xiaoxiao’s entry into Class B is in compliance with the rules of the program.”

The whole audience suddenly understood.

But even with this explanation, some students are still aggrieved.

But these restlessness soon subsided, because as time passed, the program began to enter a white-hot stage, and the contestants' performance became more and more outstanding. Finally, when the second half of the program was recorded, the much-anticipated golden song Hong Shaorong, who won the Best Newcomer and Best Female Singer award, officially appeared on the stage.

"Come on, come on, a hot woman is here!"

"Wow, Zhao Ling'er, it's really Zhao Ling'er from Fairy Island!"

"I can actually see Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao in the same frame, it's absolutely amazing!"

"My heart is almost beating out of my chest. This is so beautiful. When will I be able to look like her?"

"I can be half as good-looking as her, and I'll be so obsessed with you nymphomaniacs!"

"With this waist, this neck, and this temperament, I seem to see a proud black swan slowly walking towards me!"

"It's so beautiful, so good-looking. Just that blinking action, I can learn it all my life!"

"This is the Golden Melody Award-winning singer. Instead of going to the instructor's seat, she came to be a student with us??"

"It's so bullying, how can this compare!"

The dozens of students in the audience were all wailing. Some students even turned around and walked away. Fortunately, they were pulled back by the students next to them.

Although these kinds of performances are just for the camera, they are more or less the true inner voices of the students.

"Hello everyone, hello fellow instructors, I am student Hong Shaorong, and the song I want to sing next is "Legend"."

When Hong Shaorong stood on the stage like a pure and beautiful school beauty in a romance novel, the atmosphere became even more exciting.

"You want to sing "Legend"? Zhou Dingran's "Legend"?" Wu Xuefei asked in surprise.

Hong Shaorong nodded and said, "Yes, I like this song very much, so I want to sing it again on this important stage."

Zhou Dingran screamed inwardly when he heard this.

Although the song "Legend" is well interpreted by Zhou Dingran's superb singing skills and has his own personal flavor, in terms of how beautiful and stunning it is, Zhou Dingran always feels that Faye Wong's voice is more suitable for this song.

This is also the reason why this song was not popular even after Li Jian sang it for so many years, but Faye Wong became popular all over the country as soon as she sang it.

Although there is a reason to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, the bigger reason is that the song "Legend" is sung with an ethereal female voice, which is more suitable.

As luck would have it, Hong Shaorong's voice is very similar to Faye Wong's. Her ethereal singing voice is even more comparable to Faye Wong at her peak. And if Hong Shaorong sings this song on this stage, the two will be compared. Next, Hong Shaorong's version will definitely be more popular and more popular.

That would be embarrassing.

Zhou Dingran suddenly picked up the phone and asked deliberately: "Has the copyright fee been paid?"

Hong Shaorong blinked and said, "I chose this song to sing because I don't have to pay royalties to sing this song here, brother Xiaoyao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was filled with excitement. (End of chapter)
