Island Tycoon

Chapter 418 The game is in progress (3)

"I can only express my regret for player No. [-]. Next, we will invite our player No. [-]." Obviously, this player No. [-] did not advance.

After Wang Mingquan's words ended, the camera turned to the player channel behind her.Contestant No. [-] is very different from the previous four. The difference is that she has an extra musical instrument in her hand, and her dress style is very old-fashioned white plain clothes, which just complements the pipa in her hand.

This female contestant is definitely eye-catching, and her calm expression gives people a feeling of pity.Especially the fluttering long hair, which puts a layer of tulle on her beautiful face, which just fulfills the phrase "still holding a pipa and half covering her face".

"Wow! I didn't expect our program to attract such beautiful contestants." Wang Mingquan exclaimed cooperatively.

"Miss, what's your surname?" Zeng Zhiwei walked up with a leery look, stretched out his hand and asked immorally.Then he emphasized: "Oh! I didn't ask it myself, I asked it for...the audience."

"Good evening everyone, my name is Lu Xiuling, please give me your advice." After speaking, Lu Xiuling bowed to the camera.

Lu Xiuling's appearance is not difficult to explain, it is nothing more than the arrangement of Huaxing Records, or Ye Jingcheng's intention.

The purpose of arranging Lu Xiuling to participate in this competition is to increase her exposure and make the audience more familiar with her. This approach is also a kind of exquisite packaging.

As for Lu Xiuling's entry, will it conflict with the word "newcomer" in the "newcomer singing competition", or make the audience feel that the show is "just a horse", in fact, there is no need to worry about this.

First of all, Lu Xiuling had a lot of exposure before, but the location was in Dawan.And now that she has come to Hong Kong Island, it makes sense to start all over again, right?

Secondly, although she signed a singer contract with Huaxing Records, she has been working hard at the company for training and has not attended any promotional activities.This situation is equivalent to not entering the industry yet, so he can naturally be regarded as a newcomer.

Another point worth mentioning is that the order in which the contestants appear on the stage is naturally not arranged randomly by the program group, from high to low or from low to high.

Instead, arrange the players with the greatest potential in different games.Doing so can prevent the audience from having a few contestants who can't mobilize the atmosphere to sing on stage when the audience has limited patience.

In addition, it is a kind of foil for the seeded players. Even audiences with no professional concepts can tell which player sings well and which player is mediocre.

The principle is similar to ranking the heights. Pick out the tallest ones first, and then arrange them among the short ones one by one, so that the tall ones will naturally become more conspicuous.

"Miss Xiaoling, this room is polite." At this time, Chen Xunqi on the guest stage made a bow to Lu Xiuling.But his sissy tone added a bit of humor and humor to the show.

"It's not right for you to salute like this. Didn't you see that she was carrying a 'weapon' into battle? It's obviously not those East and West palaces. I said she is a female general, and it's almost the same. Maybe I will play "House of Flying Daggers" for us later. " Xu Guanjie said.

"I'm just saying that you two are wrong. How can you young people appreciate an ancient musical instrument like the pipa." Huang Zhan said to the two of them.

"Let's ignore them, let them quarrel if they want to fire." The camera returned to the two hosts, and Wang Mingquan asked Lu Xiuling, "By the way, Xiaoling, how are you going to perform tonight?"

"I have prepared a pipa piece called "Love Curse"." Lu Xiuling looked calm on the surface, but she couldn't help but get excited inside for this performance on stage.

"Okay, then I'll leave the next stage to you." After Wang Mingquan finished speaking, he and Zeng Zhiwei left the front of the camera.

Next, the camera gave Lu Xiuling a special feature.It's her long hair, the right third of her face, and she's sitting on a wooden bench with her pipa in her arms.

The performance has not yet started, but it has already created a visual impact on the audience, making the audience feel that Lu Xiuling at this moment is like a real ancient woman with the beauty and tranquility like water.

Many viewers initially thought that pipa music would sound boring.The reason why she didn't turn to the channel immediately was because with Lu Xiuling's appearance, she didn't need any interpretation at all, just looking at her appearance was enough.

But when Lu Xiuling plucked the strings, they realized that their thinking was wrong. It turned out that the pure music played on the pipa was as good as any musical instrument.

"If love can also become a curse, it must be a good medicine for many people." Lu Xiuling played the pipa in her hand, but it gave the audience another experience.It's like interpreting a love story, with a tragic ending in the end.

The pipa skills that have been practiced by Lu Xiuling to perfection, coupled with her slightly changing sadness, it seems that the whole world has been brought into her space, quietly enjoying her pipa music.

"I feel like crying." In front of the TV, a girl completely assumed the role and was looking for comfort from her companion.But when she came back to look, several other girls were already crying softly.

"Woooooo."

"Why don't you cry?"

"Until now, she is still indifferent. I think she has a heart of stone."

A few girls glanced at me and said something to me, the girl who made it happen at the beginning, it’s not right to cry now, and it’s not right not to cry.

……

……

……

"It was such a moving performance, I almost cried." Back on the stage, Wang Mingquan wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Even I, a single widow, can't stand it, let alone you." Zeng Zhiwei cooperated.

"Xiaoling, I want to ask you. Is there a story about you behind this pipa piece?" Wang Mingquan asked with emotion.

"Yes." Lu Xiuling admitted.It seemed that he was also brought in, and he said sadly: "I like someone who shouldn't be liked."

After finishing speaking, she still glanced in Ye Jingcheng's direction intentionally or unintentionally, since she broke the matter between Ye Jingcheng and Lin Qingxia last time.In addition, she was going to have music theory training, and Ye Jingcheng was relatively busy at work, the two of them had indeed drifted apart a lot during this time.

Like most women, Lu Xiuling would think wildly when she had nothing to do. She thought Ye Jingcheng did it for several reasons, such as having a new love, ignoring her feelings, and not wanting to contact her anymore, so it is easy to have negative emotions .

"Does he have a wife?" Wang Mingquan then asked.

Lu Xiuling shook her head, "No, he has...a girlfriend."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xiuling still didn't add the word 'several' before 'girlfriend'.Because it seemed to be her problem instead, and the point of the finger was directed at Ye Jingcheng who was present.

"Girlfriend is not afraid, at least you still have a chance." Wang Mingquan held Lu Xiuling's arm like a good sister and said, "My sister supports you and must win."

"Thank you." Lu Xiuling thanked.

"Okay, let's listen to what our instructor has to say first." The topic was about the same, and Zeng Zhiwei on the side shifted.

The other mentors subconsciously looked at Xu Xiaofeng, after all, women should be given priority.But this time Xu Xiaofeng was an exception, and said to Huang Zhan: "James, didn't you just say that you know how to appreciate this kind of classical music best, this time let you talk first."

"What else can I comment on? This is it." Huang Zhan raised his thumb to Lu Xiuling, and praised without hesitation: "What a sound of gold and stone, I have met many people who play the pipa, and you are the first one who can play it like this." rhythm."

"If tonight is just your personal performance, I really don't mind giving full marks, but... I want to make one thing clear, tonight is a singing competition, do you understand what I want to say?" Huang Zhan said nothing more than Emphasize the word 'singing'.

Since it's a singing competition, it's only natural that you have to sing aloud to count.And the pure music "Love Curse" does not have any accompaniment.Lu Xiuling didn't sing a word, does that mean she didn't start, or was it just a matter of saying she couldn't pass it?

"Actually, what James said happened to be in line with my thoughts. Your performance is very good, but compared to tonight's game, it's a little..." Xu Xiaofeng collected the adjectives in his mind, and said, "It seems to have lost the meaning of this game."

This situation has indeed caused problems for several tutors' grading.

"How about this, how about we wait for Ms. Lu to sing a few lines first, and then come to score?" Just when the atmosphere was a little cold, Xu Guanjie thought of a compromise.

"That's right, it's not that our mentors are embarrassing you, how can we explain to the audience." Chen Xunqi's opening meant that the mentors unanimously agreed with this proposal.

"Is it okay to sing Mandarin songs?" Lu Xiuling did not choose a pipa song with accompaniment because she was not too proficient in Cantonese.It's okay to talk to others, but it's more difficult for her to master the voice when she sings.

"Okay." The instructors didn't intend to make things difficult for her, so naturally they wouldn't force her to sing any kind of song.

"Then I'll sing "If I'm Real" by Teresa Teng."

If running water can turn back, please take me away

If the running water is acceptable, don't worry anymore
Someone envies you, flow freely
I would like to be you, roaming around freely

If the flowing water were me, I would also cry

If I were clear water, I would not look back

……

Without any accompaniment, Lu Xiuling got the singing voice with lightness and completed the cappella of this song.

"Hmm..." As for Huang Zhan at the guest station, when he listened to the whole song and asked him to rate it, he frowns and ponders.I don't know what to say, or if he can't think of what to say.

"Your singing skills are actually not bad, especially when there is no prepared accompaniment." Xu Xiaofeng also clicked.

Lu Xiuling's singing is not a question of good or bad, but a question of comparison.With her singing skills and singing voice, she can definitely advance to the next level.But compared with the pipa song just now, the gap is too big.

After several tutors struggled to make grades, Wang Mingquan concluded: "Xiaoling, congratulations, you have successfully obtained the promotion quota."
