Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 220 A Grassroots Troupe on a Big Stage

In the monitoring room, Drogo scratched his head awkwardly.

The problem is huge, the problem with the recording of the program is huge.

The first episode of Feilin's Good Song has been recorded until now, and a total of ten contestants have gone through the recording process. However, they all got off to a bad start, and none of them was chosen by the mentor.

This is not the most uncomfortable thing.

If you are not chosen by the mentor, but your singing is still acceptable and can be used in the final film, then it is still acceptable.

However, all the contestants who have performed so far have simply tortured the audience with their singing.

Off-tune, broken voice, forgotten lyrics.

Because the original requirement was to find shorter, more entertaining songs rather than serious music.

Therefore, those who pass the auditions are mainly amateurs, and there are very few professional singers in the opera company.

There weren't many bards. Drogo had seen a long epic poem with more than 200,000 words in the audition submissions before, which was the work of a bard.

According to Xiao De, most of the submissions from the bards are of this type.

This is also because the initial recruitment advertisement mentioned that it wanted "your most proud work."

But since the bard's profession is more literary, in their evaluation system, long works are at the top of the contempt chain.

So what they handed in were all "nonsense" that they created with great effort.

If they were to perform, one person could sing for several episodes.

The works of these amateurs from all walks of life on the show today are okay, but they have a fatal flaw.

I have never sung in front of thousands of live audiences.

Zhuo Ge took into account the problems that they were not adapted to the stage lighting, live band accompaniment, microphone sound, monitoring return system, and so on.

So each participant was given ample time to audition, but the pressure from the live audience was forgotten.

The most common performance objects faced by most contestants are relatives and friends at family gatherings, factory colleagues during lunch breaks, or drunk guests in bars at night.

During the audition, facing an empty audience, everyone performed very naturally and smoothly.

Today is the official time to go on stage, and everyone is pulling a big one.

There was even a dwarf who drank two bottles of liquor before going on stage to give himself courage.

After two bottles, he indeed ignored the influence of the audience, was a bit too excited, and ignored the instructor at the same time.

After forgetting the lyrics, I started composing on the spot, and wrote and sang it directly on the spot.

The improvised lyrics are also very dwarven.

The main content is to tease elves.

The two most conspicuous elves present are Druid and Rowling. Drow elves are also elves.

At the same time, the dwarf also demonstrated the fearless spirit that the dwarf is proud of.

He teased Rowling.

To be honest, the dwarves are quite aggressive.

Ms. Rowling began to chant the spell directly.

This caused the recording of the program to be paused for a while, and Drogo was responsible for holding Rowling down.

The one who came closest to being chosen by the instructor was the best singer on campus from Repin.

She chose to sing with her eyes closed.

But while singing, she couldn't help but opened her eyes a little and glanced at the instructor.

I found that no one turned around.

Anxious.

The beat and tune were dropped on the spot.

She also realized that she had made a mistake.

Then it became even more urgent.

Then it went even further out of tune...

After the performance, Rowling's criticism was somewhat disappointing.

But because he was too aggressive, and he had almost attacked the dwarf just now, the poor female singer was scared and cried.

More than three hours have passed since the recording began, and the best performance turned out to be the girl group responsible for warming up the audience.

Of course, because this is a program for all ages, the girl group's styling style has been adjusted to be fresh and the lyrics have been slightly optimized by the old scholar in the north.

Won cheers from the audience.

Although I won’t remember anything after listening to it, at least the atmosphere was quite joyful while I was listening to it.

Lian Fulin expressed her affirmation and nodded following the simple and clear rhythm.

"I didn't expect them to look so good." Fulin praised.

As the nominal chief stage effects designer, she stayed with the program crew for some time when testing the illusion effects.

The warm-up girl group was responsible for walking on stage at that time.

Completely different from the image of young girls on the stage, they smoke and drink without restraint and swear a lot off stage, looking like typical little gangsters.

"You don't know, this is called packaging." Drogo introduced proudly.

Now he understood why those talent agencies on earth liked artificial stars who had no personal abilities and had to rely on marketing.

Such artists can only rely on the company to exist and have no independent ability, making it convenient to fully control them.

Artists with too strong personal abilities may choose to go solo at any time.

Zhuo Ge continued, "Otherwise, why do those people in the brothel always make up excuses like they are treating their family members' illnesses, paying for their relatives' education, or having to pay off debts? That's also just packaging."

"Oh, is it so?"

"of course."

"But why are you so skilled?"

Fulin suddenly changed the subject.

"Forehead……"

Zhuo Ge was a little embarrassed. "It's because I want to better open up the market, so I have learned about the customs and habits of other races. It's purely out of academic research. I read the "Guide to the Identification of Continental Customs". Yes, that's it."

"Pfft, why are you so nervous?" Fulin laughed happily.

I love teasing the silly little red male dragon the most.

Different from the joyful atmosphere in the monitoring room at the opening.

Now, whether it was Drogo, Sir Godot, or all the assistant directors, they all fell silent.

"Will our first show last the expected duration?" Sir Godot asked uncertainly.

He spent most of his savings on this show.

If we can’t make enough money, it will be difficult to maintain the welfare home.

Several children's solo singers from the hospital choir also came to participate.

Godot is not too worried about the children he has trained. Despite their young age, they have performed in many big occasions.

The original plan was to let the entire choir perform in the subsequent singing session after they passed the first round.

He should be one of the first people in the world to realize the huge value of fan economy.

He also wanted to use this platform to start an entertainment business and get away from his family's construction business which was always accompanied by blood and disaster.

It can't be considered as taking advantage of the children. They also need a means of making a living. It's a win-win situation.

So compared to Drogo, he doesn't want to see this show fail even more.

If Drogo fails, he will have plenty of opportunities to rise again. Anyway, the entire Magic Vision platform belongs to Drogo.

But if he fails, he doesn't know when he will get the next opportunity.

"Not enough," Drogo replied.

"What about tuning? Don't you have a spell specifically for later tuning?"

Godot knew about the tuning magic of the Drogo Group, which is now used in almost all album recordings. As long as the singing is not too bad, it can be adjusted to produce excellent results.

I feel like being a singer has become a lot easier now.

"At this level, it can't be adjusted. It's too far away. If I force it, the final sound will sound like, how should I put it, it doesn't sound like a human voice. It's very stiff and fake."

Drogo originally wanted to use the term "electric sound", but it is not appropriate here, and Godot does not understand it. If the performance here is tuned in and posted on the video website on Earth, you will definitely see the barrage of comments floating across the screen are all "full of electricity".

"Ah, what can we do to remedy this? We can either shorten the total number of episodes, or recruit those professional singers and bards who were eliminated and adjust their works to remedy this."

Sir Godot regretted that he pursued the realism of the program too much. He should have done more bottom-line operations to at least ensure the effect.

"Don't worry. If a show is bad enough, it will be popular." said Drogo.

Although he doesn't really want the show to become known for being bad, that's how the audience is. If something is incredibly bad, it will be very popular.

Many people come here because of its reputation.

"Eh? What's being scolded so harshly? Then I have to take a look."

Probably so.

"Haha." Sir Godot laughed dryly, thinking that Drogo was teasing him.

"Or there is another way to turn the tables, and now suddenly someone super powerful comes out."

Drogo said again.

"Then all the embarrassing performances before this will become a kind of suppression before promotion."

The editing effect is basically a quick review of the failures of each singer, negative reviews from the mentors led by Rowling, and a few disgusted expressions in the audience.

At this time, insert interview clips of the program staff and say something to stir up emotions, such as "Is this the level of music in Twin Tower City?"

The last contestant who looked ordinary at best performed perfectly on stage, and all four mentors turned around.

It worked, a classic face-slapping scene.

A slap in the face to the mentors and program crew who "looked down on" Shuangta City.

When Godot heard what Drogo said, he flipped through the list of contestants to see who would be on stage next.

"Susan Stone, a middle-aged peasant woman from a small mountain village, has loved singing since she was a child. She taught herself to sing and is particularly good at the local folk singing style..."

Godot didn't expect much from this.

He doesn't look like he can sing particularly well.

The woman in the photo looks exactly like the stereotype of women from small places. Her skin is rough due to years of hard work and she is plump, but not fat in the sense of obesity. Instead, she has strong arms with muscles wrapped in fat.

If she were asked to do farm work, Godot believed she would be a good hand at it.

As for the performances…

"Oh, so it's Aisha's mother's turn."

"Is this Elsa's mother?"

Godot had a worse idea in his mind. Could it be that Elsa's mother was already chosen?

Because I was an outsider to the Drogo Group, I was not told.

The situation of this program is already not optimistic. If there is any shady manipulation, it would be fine if it is not obvious. But if it is discovered, it will be all over and its reputation will collapse completely.

"I'm optimistic about her. Her singing style is very interesting."

Speaking of interesting things, Godot also remembered it.

"It's the one that goes 'le la la la la la'."

"Yes. That's the le-la-la-la-la-la." Drogo nodded.

Susan's singing style is very similar to yodeling, a folk singing style from the Alps on Earth.

Not the dwarf yordle.

"She sang, let me see," Gordo remembered that the demo song Susan submitted had a very distinctive title, "It's called, 'The Vegetables in the Field Will Walk on Their Own'."

It really is a song title that has a folk song feel.

Amid the expectations of the director team, Susan's mother walked onto the stage with confident steps.

"Oh my god, this lady is so beautiful."

This was the praise from the dwarf audience.

Elsa's mother really fits the dwarfs' aesthetic. It's not a big problem that she's too tall, strong is beautiful.

"Yeah, it would be nice if it was a dwarf, but it's a pity that human women don't have beards."

"Yes, I agree. How can a woman without a beautiful beard be considered an excellent woman?"

"I don't care. This is good enough. If she can advance to the next round and her opponent is not a dwarf, I will definitely vote for her no matter how she sings."

"Seconded."

"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with your eyes? This lady is obviously married. Look at the close-up on the screen, she's wearing a ring on her hand."

The dwarf felt that his companions' appreciation for the human singer went beyond the realm of fans.

Or is it that there is a type of fans who have some incredible fantasies about their idols?

"I'm married, so what? It doesn't affect my sincere feelings for her..."

"There's something wrong with you."

Without Susan's knowledge, she had already gained a group of dwarf fans before she even performed.

Things in the entertainment industry are sometimes very difficult to predict, and you have no idea which characteristics will attract fans.

On the stage, Susan bowed slightly and held the microphone in her hand.

The accompaniment is a very cheerful plucked instrument with a fast rhythm that makes people want to sway along.

"Don't stand up, you're blocking me."

"Why don't you just stand up, too?"

"I'm a dwarf, I can't see even if I stand up!"

There was a strange quarrel in the audience.

In front of the surveillance footage, Sir Godot was not too excited. The accompaniment had a good start, but it did not mean it was successful.

The level of the live band was very high. If I remember correctly, this song did not have an accompaniment score, not even a standard score, so the band independently completed the accompaniment based on Susan's audition. It cannot represent Susan's level, but the band was very good.

"The hard-working farmers are working in the fields.

"She put aside her hoe and sang loudly, le-la-la-la-la-la,
"Pumpkin, potato, tomato, lah lah lah lah
“All lined up themselves and walked to the bazaar.

"Ahaha, le lol lol lol lol..."

Susan’s powerful singing made all the audience members dance.

Of course, except for the dwarves who were blocked.

Suddenly a cheerful atmosphere filled the scene.

This way of singing is so interesting. I have never heard it before, but it is very entertaining and everyone can understand it.

And compared with the previous contestants, she seems extremely powerful.

It is indeed powerful.

Susan's singing was extremely perfect. She even led the audience to dance along while singing without affecting her breathing at all.

The innate singing and dancing holy body.

This is the strength that comes from years of farming, excellent physical strength and excellent breath.

There's nothing comparable to the dance training in the studio.

What Susan said is actually correct. If you want to sing well, it is better to be fatter or stronger.
