The legend of rebirth

Chapter 535
Han Guan, the new judge of American Idol, performed surprisingly well in the first episode of the show.

In this kind of national talent show, as a judge, it is normal and a matter of course to surpass the contestants in music knowledge and talent.But as a talent show, the judges are only guides and foils, and the protagonists should be those contestants.

But the judge Hanguan is different from other judges.

First of all, he is very charismatic. As a handsome and mature man, his every expression on the judging panel is very pleasing to the eye, and his first impression is very good.

Second, he's talented.The first round is the audition. When the contestants are involved in some types of improvisation and singing, Hanguan will analyze the music theory and give some suggestions to these singers.If he finds that what he said is too profound for these amateur singers to understand, he simply hums a passage.

Of the three judges in the first period, Hanguan was undoubtedly the most sharp. He easily dominated the jury, and the two old judges played a supporting role very consciously.

To be honest, the audition for American Idol was actually not exciting, because the participants were all amateur singers, and they were singing a cappella. In terms of musicality, there were actually not many highlights.

But Hanguan's performance is a reversal of this situation. In the first period, under the influence of his personal charm, the overall quality is very good.

Seeing Han Guan's performance on the screen, Ye Luo glanced at Qin Shiyue beside him, picked up the glass on the coffee table, and took a sip of water: "Mr. Han really has extraordinary skills."

"Yes." Qin Shiyue nodded, "Brother is talented in front of the camera."

"You too." Ye Luo smiled, "You two brothers and sisters are better than me in this respect."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Qin Shiyue smiled, "Your acting is not bad either."

Chu Mo'er snuggled up to Ye Luo's side, and said, "We're switching between watching the two programs like this. It seems that we can't watch either one carefully. Let's watch "Music Rescue"."

"Okay." Ye Luo used the remote control to switch the channel back to NBC, and said, "I don't know how we will be crushed by American Idol in the ratings of the first episode."

"The ratings in the United States are calculated based on the number of viewers." Qin Shiyue said, "American Idol opened with more than 500 million viewers last season. Compared with previous years, it has dropped significantly. I don't know how this season will be. But I think , Judging from the strength of the previous media, more than 4000 million is no problem."

"Our "Music Salvation", the first issue, is about one-tenth of it?" Ye Luo asked.

"More than 400 million." Qin Shiyue smiled, "It should be more than that."

"We'll see the outcome tomorrow," Ye Luo said.

After watching two programs that night, Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er fell asleep early.

The next day was Sunday, and it was rare to have a rest. Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er were going to the Juilliard School together.

There are also many fan clubs organized by students in the Juilliard School. They usually hold activities on weekends or holidays. Most of them are small-scale performances, and the venue is in the school.

This week, Chu Mo'er accepted the invitation of some students of the Vocal Music Department to go to the fan club for activities.Ye Luo will also accompany them to give some advice and guidance to these students who are interested in pop singing, and also demonstrate a performance.

Of course, these are all free of charge, this is Ye Luo's obligation as a fiancé, and it can also be regarded as a kind of welfare as a student of Chu Mo'er.

The time at the academy on Sunday was very good. Facing these students, Ye Luo seemed to have returned to the time when she was studying at the Shangdu Conservatory of Music.

In this kind of exchange, the two sides are not equal in ability and knowledge. Basically, Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er guide and demonstrate, and the students learn and appreciate.

Ye Luo felt very pleased to be able to really help these students.

In the past half a year, the stench of money in my work has become stronger and stronger. I don’t see rabbits and don’t scatter eagles. I occasionally do some free things. I only pay and don’t ask for anything in return.

But in the world of mortals, this kind of life is just a glimpse. On Monday, under the care of Chu Mo'er, Ye Luo put on a handsome outfit, had breakfast, and went out early to participate in the recording of the fourth session of "Music Salvation" Work.

As soon as he arrived at the studio, Lawrence came very early today, finished his makeup early, and sat in the judges' seat to wait for the recording to start.

"Jones, it's so early today?" Ye Luo greeted.

Lawrence's first name was Jones and Lawrence was his last name.

"I was always stuck in traffic the last few times. I'm bored. I might as well go out early today." Lawrence said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, congratulations."

"Oh?" Ye Luo was a little puzzled, "Where does the joy come from?"

"Hehe, the ratings of the first episode of "Music Salvation" are as high as 860 million, Lawrence said with a slight smile, "For a new music reality show, the ratings are quite good. "

"How much is American Idol?" Ye Luo asked.

"300 million." Lawrence said, "This season, their ratings are going crazy."

"Hey, pull us six times more." Ye Luo nodded, "That's awesome."

"Who says it's not." Lawrence said, "But it's not a bad thing for us. It's a program that is being compared by the media. If they are high, we will naturally rise.

Although our ratings for the first broadcast are far behind theirs, our reruns in the early hours of the morning also had a ratings of more than 800 million, which is higher than theirs.

It seems that everyone is still curious about our program, but because it starts at the same time, most of their first choice for viewing is American Idol. "

"The viewing habit, there is no way, let's take it easy." Ye Luo shook his head.

After chatting for a while, the recording officially started as the entrance of the audience ended.

What I'm going to record today is the fourth episode of the first season.The seed player is rock singer Henry Dean.

This player is very capable, Ye Luo is quite at ease, he has a rough voice, it seems to have emery stones in his voice, and it also has a high pitch.

At the meeting, when Henry opened his mouth, Ye Luo was shocked.

If NBC competed with "American Idol" before and supported the show that was cut after three seasons--The Voice of America, Henry would probably be able to kill the judges in seconds, and turn all the judges around in a few seconds.

A singer like Henry, because his voice is both recognizable and shocking, in this kind of talent show, he is basically like a devil, especially in the early stage of the show.

At the end of the show, when the audience began to feel fatigued, he encountered a bottleneck.

But Henry is 40 years old this year, and he is definitely an old gun. He has a lot of work, and his voice is only one of them.

So Ye Luo was still looking forward to Henry.

The recording of the fourth period was also very smooth, and Henry Dean advanced easily.

With the running-in of the first three episodes, the recording time for the fourth episode was very short. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, all the material in the studio was actually recorded.

At the end of the fourth period, because the eliminated singers in the first period were recommended by Ye Luo, only three singers were eliminated, and a total of thirteen singers entered the next stage.

However, the thirteen singers were not happy for too long, because the fourth period was very easy, so the recording of the fifth period started on Wednesday.

The recording progress of the program is so fast, mainly because these contestants are professional singers with rich performance experience and have unique skills in their hands. The stage design is the most labor-intensive part of this kind of music talent show, which is relatively worry-free.

In terms of program planning, the first four episodes are actually a show session, showing the overall strength of the singers shortlisted this season, as well as the ability of the savior Ye Luo, and the elimination is only second.

And starting from the fifth period, is the truly cruel knockout match.

In this issue, each singer has only one chance to sing, the top eight stay, and the other five go.

There is no PK or sensational link, just a clean elimination.

Of course, Ye Luo also has the right to save in this episode. Among the five singers eliminated by the audience, he can choose to save one or none.

As a result, in this issue, among the eliminated singers was Sleeping Beauty Shirley Smith.

It's not a skill problem, nor is it any other reason, it's purely because Shirley was too confident, she chose a song without words, without lyrics, and said "ah" on the stage for more than three minutes. I can't accept it.

From the point of view of program planning, this gradually freezing singer must be protected, not to mention that Ye Luo also appreciates her singing skills.

So Ye Luo had no choice but to strike again.

The opening song of the next issue will be a new song by Sleeping Beauty Shirley.

……

Another day of recording was over, Ye Luo got into her sports car, rubbed her face, which had been tense all day, and then patted it lightly: "Hey, after recording these two seasons, my face must be useless. "

Qin Shiyue beside her stretched out her pink palm and blinked her beautiful eyes: "I can take pictures for you."

"No need." Ye Luo laughed for a while, started the car, and slowly drove out of the NBC TV station.

"What happened to Shirley today?" Qin Shiyue said, "With such good conditions and abilities, choosing a song at random is better than a song without words."

"Songs without words are actually pretty good." Ye Luo shook his head, "The main reason is that the girl chose this song without words is too warm, she wants to express some artistic conception, but her performances are either rock or big songs. , a comparison, it appears weak."

"Then how are you going to save her?"

"Where to fall, where to get up." Ye Luo smiled, "Song without words, didn't Song Yan also sing a song on the new girls last year? The effect was good.
For this kind of song, it is unrealistic to expect the audience to understand what the singer wants to express through the language of music.The audience is not a music student, is it?

Therefore, instead of expecting the audience to understand, it is better to be superior.

That's what Song Yan did last year. It was purely aesthetically pleasing, and it made people feel unaware, so that's ok.
