Chapter 8
The 24 contestants arrived at the learning center on the bus prepared by the program group. After getting off the bus, they consciously divided into four groups and stood at the gate, waiting for their instructors to come and claim them.
There is a sky bridge between the learning center and the studio where they recorded the program. The first floor is the reception desk and classrooms for small classes. There are six spacious and bright music classrooms on the second floor. They occupied four of them and started the first day training.
According to the requirements of the program director, each group needs to send three contestants to sing in this week's performance, so the first topic of today is to discuss who will perform on stage on behalf of the group.
After Zheng Hengren's group entered the music classroom, six people sat scattered around. Cai Xing said: "I think Kuo Er can sing solo, his singing can instantly kill the audience."
"Don't, don't, I will be very stressed if you say that."
"There is pressure to be motivated," Zheng Hengren seemed to think the same way, wanting to throw their blockbuster at the first performance, "I think you can do it, at worst, we will have one person in our group next week."
Fang Shengkuo has one head and two big heads, and he feels that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders: "If I will sing the solo, who will sing the chorus?"
In fact, compared to chorus singing, solo singing is relatively free and simple. You don’t have to lower or raise your voice to match others, and you don’t have to work hard to chase other people’s voices, as long as you sing well.
To be honest, chorus is quite a test of tacit understanding, and it also attaches great importance to the compatibility of two people's voices.
Liu Haosheng said: "Is it possible for Kuo Er and Moon to sing together? Their voices should match well."
"Kuo'er's voice is like a dick, no matter who he is with," said Rainbow Fart Prince Muchi, "but I think it's better to sing him solo in the first show, he can Singing "Memory" will be amazing."
Zheng Hengren also considered Liu Haosheng's opinion. He heard that the relationship between these two people is very good, and they are both outstanding students who are the first in professional courses.
But what Mu Qi said is correct, it is more appropriate to put Fang Shengkuo on solo in the first round, it can give other groups a bad start, and it can also make the audience remember him firmly. throw it out.
Zheng Hengren made a decision: "Fang Shengkuo will be the soloist, and Liu Haosheng and Mu Qi will be the chorus. The best dancers among the contestants are all here. The other groups will definitely be more conservative and choose pure singing. You choose a dance song. ,is that OK?"
The three nodded in agreement. Their main task in the next few days was to choose the performance repertoire and line dance. Choosing a song was actually more difficult than singing, and many factors had to be considered.
Song selection was not included in the discussion topics in class today. Zheng Hengren asked them to discuss it by themselves during the break. He was given three options, and he would choose the most suitable song for them to sing.
"In the morning class, I mainly want to know your level. I already know about Liu Haosheng, Lu Tao, and Mu Qi. The remaining three..." Zheng Hengren sat on the high stool on the raised round platform in the middle of the classroom, and turned around. I sat down on the chair, glanced at the six students one by one, and finally fixed on Fang Shengkuo, "I'll give you half an hour to prepare, you can make a temporary choreography by yourself, or learn a piece of a ready-made dance, and dance for you in half an hour." In my opinion, you are allowed to ask the three students who are better at dancing."
Fang Shengkuo said softly to Mu Qi: "Is there still time to change groups? I'm afraid I'll be thrown out soon."
"Throw it out and I'll continue. I have a little confidence in myself."
Both Cai Xing and Gao Fei have a little dance foundation. They are weak in their dancing strength and their body movements cannot keep up with the fast-paced dance music.
"You can choose songs with less complicated dance movements. It doesn't matter if you can't step on the fast songs, but every movement must be done well, otherwise it will be like not having enough food, and it looks particularly uncomfortable visually." Liu Haosheng gave The suggestion is very pertinent. Although his dancing ability is not as good as that of Mu Qi, he has won prizes in dance competitions anyway.
It was inconvenient for Mu Qi to give guidance to Fang Shengkuo alone. Doing so would be too obvious a preference, and it might cause bad misunderstandings for other people.
But fortunately, his teammates are more understanding. Lu Tao took the initiative to propose the "One Belt, One Belt" approach to guide them. When encountering unsolvable problems, everyone discusses them together, which will be more efficient.
"Kuo'er is an all-rounder at first glance, and dancing should not be a problem for you. Maybe you will be able to perform with Moon in the next episode." Liu Haosheng will definitely be a good father who advocates "encouraging education" in the future. He said, "I think the people in our group are all very good. Little things like dancing can't trouble you."
Mu Qi smiled embarrassingly, Fang Chengkuo twisted his thigh, pretending to be angry and said, "What's the matter with your slightly sarcastic smile? Don't you believe that I can surprise you?"
"Your dance is really 'amazing'," Mu Qi sincerely offered him a suggestion, "You can dance "Little Apple" for everyone, this may be the only dance you can learn in a short time."
Fang Shengkuo beat Mu Qi violently, pressed his neck and asked him to teach him the dance he danced during the audition, and said, "I think I can still save it, what do you think?"
I think you are hopeless, Mu Qi thought in his heart, but in order not to let the child lose hope in life, he looked at him lovingly and said: "I will try to see if I can save you, but my skills are limited. Don't be discouraged even if you fail, we still have Teacher Zheng Hengren."
Lu Tao asked: "Is Kuo Er so untalented in dancing?"
Muche pretended to be sad and said: "God opened a window for you, and will also close a door for you."
The Qin Leyang group next door was also discussing candidates for the performance. Their situation was similar to that of Zheng Hengren's group. Everyone was willing to sing as a chorus, but no one wanted to sing solo.
Qian Chenshi said: "Mr. Zheng Hengren's group will definitely send Kuo Er to sing solo, and he will be blown away in seconds."
Xi Jiachen: "Mr. Qiu Tao must also be a soloist. It seems that the solo of our group can only be handed over to Mr. Deng Tingsheng."
"Did you forget something?" Qin Leyang reminded them at the right time, "This is not a competition show, there is no elimination, the judges are looking at personal ability, and will not compare you with others."
That is to say, although the judges will not compare the contestants with each other during the performance, it does not mean that the audience or the audience will not compare them. There is always a gap between people. Don’t say no Representative no.
Qin Leyang knew that they were under pressure, confused about the unknown future, worried about whether they would be recognized by the audience, and guilty of fearing that their teammates would not be able to use their fists... These negative emotions ultimately came from They are not confident in themselves.
Qin Leyang said: "Do your best in everything and have a clear conscience. The result is important, but it's not that important."
The six of them discussed for a while, and first decided on the candidates for the chorus—Qian Chenshi and Xi Jiachen. The vocal ranges of these two people are very complementary. One is good at alto, and the other is good at middle and high pitch. They are suitable for harmony or solo singing.
"As for the solo..." Deng Tingsheng thought for a while, he is the oldest senior here, even Qin Leyang, who is the judge and mentor, is willing to give priority to his suggestions, "How about letting Zhang Yang do it? There's no one here, and that's our advantage."
Qian Chenshi was the first to raise his hand in agreement: "I vote for Zhang Yang!"
"You're the only one who can raise your hands!" Zhang Yang took a picture of Qian Chenya's raised hands, twisted his face and said, "You are a typical watcher and don't think it's a big deal."
"I'm entrusting you with a heavy responsibility on behalf of the people! Don't refuse, face up to the difficulties! Boy!"
Qin Leyang has no objection, no matter who they are on, he will fully support them. This program was originally intended to provide a stage for them, a group of musicians with dreams, to sing loudly, and to let them let go of their hands and sing.
"We try to finalize the song in the morning, and the three contestants who are going to perform in the afternoon go to the piano room on the first floor to practice first, and the rest of them practice their vocalization and pitch here."
Choosing a song is more difficult than singing, especially choosing a song that perfectly matches your vocal range.
The song for the chorus was easier to choose. Qian Chenya and Xi Jiachen discussed it, and they chose Adele's "Skyfall", which is the theme song of the movie "007: Skyfall".
Zhang Yang turned on the mocking mode for a second: "This song is not easy to sing, its pitch can be as high as C5, are you two going to perform a live pig slaughter?"
"I don't know whether to kill a pig or not on the spot. I really want to kill you right now." Qian Chenya pounced on Zhang Yang's neck and shook it violently, puffing out his cheeks and staring at him, "Let me tell you, people are the key The explosive power of the moment is infinite, maybe Jiajia will open her mouth on the spot and spit out a HighC to scare you to death!"
Deng Tingsheng was quite optimistic about them, and said: "I think they can challenge them. If they can't, they can lower the key a little bit. Jiachen should be able to sing c3."
"I'll work hard, maybe I can get to C5?"
"Don't force yourself, maybe you can sing C5 at a certain moment, but if it's a sustained high pitch, don't try it lightly before you are sure, and don't force your voice."
Qin Leyang, as a lucky singer with a major in majors, made his debut in a talent show, so he felt a kind of sympathy with them as fellow travelers.
In the end, it was Qin Leyang who made the final decision. The song will not change, but the key must be lowered.
After the morning study, they went directly to the cafeteria on the first basement floor to have lunch. A group of people gathered together to inquire about each other's information. They didn't hide, and generously told others about the representatives sent by their group and the songs they sang.
"To be honest, I really want to see Kuo Er dance." Qian Chenshi picked up which pot he didn't open, biting his chopsticks and said, "When will you cooperate with Moon?"
If he had known that Fang Shengkuo had danced "Three Little Bears" directly to Zheng Hengren during the dance acceptance in the morning, he probably wouldn't have said those words.
Mu Qi looked at Fang Shengkuo with a half-smile, and the latter blushed. He touched the back of Fang Shengkuo's head and said, "It's been arranged, and you can see it later."
Everyone expressed that they were looking forward to it. Fang Shengkuo smiled at everyone despite the pressure and troubles, pretending to be strong to cheer himself up, and made a cheering gesture: "Fang Shengkuo, you can!"
