Across the literary and art world

Chapter 209 The First Night of the Preliminary Competition
While waiting quietly, time quietly turned.

Although ten minutes is very long when converted into seconds, counting seconds makes the time even longer, but as long as it is time, it will eventually run out.

While waiting, everyone's mood was repeated. Just when there was another change, there was a sound of heels colliding with the ground outside the door. It was obvious that someone was coming.

squeak!
A staff member walked in with a sign, and it was obvious that his position was not low.

After he came in and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself, he said, "Everyone, wait until the room's speakers are turned on, and after the host announces the start, please enter the stage one at a time according to the situation in the venue and your own serial number."

After everyone nodded to show their understanding, the staff member took a chair and walked near the door, reminding the contestants that it was his task to go on stage at this moment.

……

……

Waiting outside, in the Xuanshui Stadium, the lights shone on the stage in a very partial way, and only occasionally turned on a beam of light on the auditorium, and it disappeared in a flash, which was very stingy.

Taking a closer look at the venue, I have to say that Empire Good Productions has been able to run for so many years, and has been so prosperous, not only because of its software-creativity, but also because of its hardware-venue, which is enough for the cost.The comprehensive set, the multi-functional stage, and the three electronic screens behind the stage, whose length and width are calculated in tens, showed the various aspects of the stage to the [-] audience present. As for the judges and the host, sitting so close, if Still looking at the screen, it is either a psychological problem or a physical problem.

The unique guest seat, which is neither the audience nor the judges, is already full of people at the moment, including the media, as well as the managers or leaders of the music company. It is to find good seedlings to sign contracts in time, and after discovering, poaching with appointments, and fooling those without appointments, this is the practice over the years.

In front of the semi-circular stage, five or six meters away, are the seats for the judges. There are four red leather chairs, which are probably very comfortable to sit on.At the moment, there are people on the four chairs. They have been welcomed into the arena just now. Although there is a distance between the chairs, this does not hinder the conversation between them. The louder the voice, the better.Of course, they didn't turn on the microphone, after all, the live broadcast of the show has not yet officially started, and some words really cannot be broadcast live.

"Brother Zong, you have been here for so long without saying a word, what are you thinking?" A male judge sitting on the far left asked Li Guangzong who was sitting in the middle on the left.

"Hehe, I didn't think about anything, just looking forward to starting soon, to see if there are any good seedlings." Li Guangzong smiled faintly.

"Brother Zong's concern for the newcomers is really admirable to us, beyond compare!" The judge in the middle on the right also turned his head and said to Li Guangzong.

"That's right, after so many years, most of the new generation of producers and songwriters who have gradually developed in the music scene have been helped by Brother Zong!" The judge on the far right also turned his head and said.He is telling the truth, Li Guangzong's enthusiasm is in the music world, no, everyone in the art world knows that now he has such a high status in the music world, whether it is in the music world or in the production world, partly because of his ability, and partly because he is in the music world There are acquaintances everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they respond to all calls.

"Miss Wei, Lao Yu, why are you praising me so highly? I don't have the money to treat you to dinner!" Li Guangzong joked.

Miss Wei, whose full name is Wei Zimei, has been the winner of the best-selling album and the best singer of the Shenzhou Music Fengyun Cup in the last two sessions, and is now considered a queen of pop music in the music world, with a great name and senior qualifications. Li Guangzong really didn't have many people who dared to call her Miss Wei.

As for why she was invited to participate in the producer's competition, the producer's products are sold to singers. For producers, singers are the buyers. Of course, buyers have the right to evaluate their partners' products.

"Brother Zong, I have, how about I invite you? Let's get together tonight?" Lao Yu smiled and replied lively.Old Yu, Yu Qing, an ageless naughty boy, as a rare all-round singer in the music scene of the Chinese Empire, he does not rely on his old qualifications to make a living in the music scene.

"Hehe, thank you, Lao Yu, no need, we all know that we are going to be here these days, can we make the reporters and comrades too tired." Li Guangzong smiled and said.

"Brother Zong, do you have a favorite name for the production of the empire this time?" Lei Shi, who was sitting on the far left, pulled Li Guangzong into the topic again.The producer of Leishi Shenzhou Empire music scene is a very famous producer. Many of his lyrics and music have won awards. However, although this person is talented, he is indeed a bit small-minded. Newcomers are too harsh, especially for talented young people.

This time, he kept asking Li Guangzong if there were any young people he was optimistic about, just because he had an idea in his heart. Li Guangzong was optimistic about him and would not easily offend him. After all, he had to think about confronting the big brother.But if not, huh, huh, talented and untalented, get ready to cry.And he has another task this time, which was entrusted to him by Lu Hu, the president of Fengshi Sunshine Music.

"Let's see and talk. It hasn't been long since I got the list." He didn't want to say more about this issue. He expressed his opinion before the result came out. If you don't achieve it, it will be terrible. Although you won't say anything, you will lose your face after all, and there is nowhere to get it back.

"Hehe, um, let's talk about it after reading it, and it will start soon." Lei Shi smiled and said.

Perhaps it was because the time was about to come, and more than forty cameras in the hall were about to be activated, and the live broadcast would start immediately. The four judges were not talking, but were waiting silently.

……

Ten or so seconds later, the hour and minute hands jointly pointed to 07:30, and there was a sudden silence throughout the whole process, because a bell was ringing, and the first night of the preliminary competition of Empire Good Productions had just begun.

The bell in the hall is still echoing, and the venue has changed. A figure appeared on the stage where the light beams are concentrated. It is a man of no age, dressed in a black informal suit. The beauty is very gentle. The eyes are even more handsome under the illumination of the lights.

"Everyone, welcome to the live broadcast of the seventh season of The Voice of China. I am the host Han Bing. I don't have much to say. The opening has already been expressed in the morning. I don't have much to say. Let us applaud and welcome the four judges, and then After talking about the topic, let's start directly, the first night of the preliminary round."

Han Bing's style is as direct as ever, different from the polite manners of other hosts.After the quick, clear and simple opening speech, there was applause, not for welcome, but for speeding up a link.

"Look at the big screen, the topic of the first night of the preliminary round."

After the applause, Han Bing looked sideways at the big screen, and the technical team also displayed the topic on the big screen in a timely manner. The live broadcast has started, the competition has also started, and the topic can naturally be presented.

"It turned out to be this topic, a topic that is so badly used, I really didn't expect it."

"I'll go, who came up with this year's topic, and why is it so good?"

"One of the indelible themes of music songs, is it laziness, or what?"

"I remember the rematch of the year before last, the beginning of the year, the first half of the finals of the year before last, and... that's the topic I used."

……

Whether it was in front of the TV or at the scene, people who didn't know the topic complained one after another. There was no way, the topic was too old, it was worthy of the preliminary round, and repetition became a habit.

"The theme of the song requires inspiration, the rhythm of the song requires passion, not tenderness, the content of the lyrics is the same as above, the lyrics and music, the overall requirements, passion gives people strength, simple and direct, no twists and turns, song level requirements, five elements or more."

Although there was some complaints about the topic in his heart, Han Bing still faithfully performed his duties, reading the topic displayed on the screen.

"Okay, everyone already knows the topic, let us invite you, the first contestant, Ms. Wen Qian, and her partner will come on stage, introduce and sing."

After performing his duties neatly, Han Bing walked off the stage in the palm of the audience's welcome, came to his exclusive position, and looked towards the stage.

Among the people who had been waiting in the waiting room stood up two people, today's No. [-], they walked to the door of the lounge, and when the staff handed the microphone, they took a deep breath and walked to the stage.

The first person to eat crabs is always so eye-catching. Wen Qian and her partner stood up and walked around, which attracted everyone's attention. Even Lin Feng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, took a look twice. After all, everyone wanted to see See who's the first to test the waters this year.

When Wen Qian walked out of the door, everyone in the waiting room focused their eyes on one wall of the waiting room. There was an electronic screen on the wall, and the picture on it was the stage.Knowing the opponent's level, combined with your own level, and estimating the outcome after meeting him or her, this is the involuntary thought of every contestant.

"Hi everyone, hello judges. My name is Wen Qian. I have just stepped into the great industry of producer. I hope you can give me some advice. My song is called "Tears on Strong Wings", and the music and lyrics are written by me." , tune me..."

"This is my partner and the singer of this song, Chen Feng. He is..."

After Wen Qian spent 3 minutes introducing the song and lyrics of the song and her partner, she walked off the stage, while her partner stayed on the stage. This song "Tears on Strong Wings" still needs him to come. Deduction.

The accompaniment gradually sounded, and the sheet music had already been copied and distributed to the instrument players when Wen Qian introduced it. These instrument players are all veterans, although they are not fully familiar with it, there is still no problem in playing according to the sheet music.

The accompaniment gradually started, and it was a very gentle accompaniment.

"Sometimes, we always dream that we have a pair of wings to soar in the sky, and sometimes..."

In the arena, it was very quiet, only the singing echoed.

The audience is listening, and their simple judgment standard is whether it sounds good or not. Tonight, it is their task to watch the fun, get together the number of people, and listen to any good songs by the way.

But some people have to think a lot while listening. After all, they have a heavy responsibility to select [-] qualified candidates.So as the melody of the song sounded until the singer began to sing, the four judges were serious.

After listening to a few lines, the four judges frowned at the same time, asking for the passionate song to start with tenderness?If you can't grasp the back, this song will completely digress.However, the four judges thought of another situation. If they can grasp the song well and the excitement behind it is strong enough, the effect of the excitement will be more prominent. This song will pass the test [-]% and become a hit in reality!

When the four judges were thinking slightly distracted, a burst of passionate music pulled them back from their distracted thoughts.

The accompaniment of the music became intense at some point, and the singer was also silent, with his lips tightly pursed, but his head moved with the rhythm of the music, as if he was waiting, waiting for the opportunity to break out in the silence.

Suddenly, the accompaniment of the music suddenly stopped, and the venue suddenly fell silent, as if the originally very noisy environment suddenly changed and became very quiet. This is a blank period that is infinitely magnified by the senses.

When I came back to my senses, the spirit of the four judges who had completely focused on the song became even more concentrated at this moment. The destiny of this song was coming.

Wen Qian, who was standing next to the stage with the host Han Bing, clenched her hands unconsciously. Success or failure depends on this voice. Whether you can enter the semi-finals depends on this voice. Chen Feng, whether you can get angry also depends on this voice Come on, come on!
The change in the heart is only an instant, and the pause is only an instant, but the instant is long because of psychological thinking.

"The tears on the strong wings are not for remorse, as if we are never sad, the tears on the strong wings are reminiscent of joy..."

The incomparably high-pitched voice instantly penetrated the hearts of everyone present and went straight to their minds. In an instant, everyone's heartbeats were synchronized at this moment, and the charm of music exploded at this instant. Follow the rhythm, move with the music, passionately request this The song did it.

"Okay." Li Guangzong clapped his hand heavily on the chair. This song is good, and there is one spot for promotion in the preliminary round.

I don't know if it's Li Guangzong, but the others can't hide their admiration. Although this change is expected, but this height is unexpected, it's great!
"Sometimes, we always dream that we have a pair of wings to soar in the sky, and sometimes..."

After the exaltation, the singing slowly sank and returned to the original state. Such tenderness, but the exaltation just now has been engraved in people's minds, which is hard to forget.

……

The song ended slowly, and Wen Qian walked onto the stage again, standing with Chen Feng who sang, waiting for the judges' comments.

It's just that the first thing that greeted them was not the words of the judges, but the deafening applause, which was a silent recognition.
