On June 20, cloudy, air index: good.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the capital stadium in the capital city was full of lights and festoons. The second season of Shonan Satellite TV's "The Strongest Singer and Composer" in the capital sub-division registration and preliminary examination for the audition began at the same time.
Hundreds of tents were set up in the gymnasium, and all the tarpaulins were customized to represent the orange color of Shonan Satellite TV. The black and white "The Strongest Singer" logo was printed on it, and above the surrounding audience seats, Huge advertisements are hung everywhere, with the words "rich" written brightly!
As the overlord of variety shows on domestic satellite TV, Shonan Satellite TV's advertising revenue is directly catching up with China TV, and it surpasses the latter in terms of capital utilization.
When Lu Chen arrived at the Capital Gymnasium, there were at least tens of thousands of people gathered inside.
Because he was worried that the road would be blocked, Lu Chen came here by subway. In the same car, there were many audition singers who carried guitars like him, and some of them were much younger than him.
When we arrived at the gymnasium, we realized that it was really crowded. If it weren't for a large number of staff wearing yellow vests on the scene to guide and guide, Lu Chen would not be able to find a place to take part in the initial test.
The on-site registration for "The Strongest Singer-Composer" in the Beijing division is only one day away, and the online registration has already started. After completing the online registration, Lu Chen was lucky to be assigned to participate in the first day of the preliminary test.
The time for the initial audition is 3 days, and after the end, the audition will be officially broadcast live on the 25th.
Lu Chen's player number is 17690, which means that more than 10,000 people have already registered before him. Adding the number of people who registered in the next few days and on-site, it is estimated that there will be at least 30,000 to 40,000, or even 40,000 to 50,000.
This number is quite exaggerated. You must know that this is only the number of applicants in the capital sub-division, and "The Strongest Singer" has relatively high requirements for draft contestants. They must be able to sing and write songs, and at least have a certain amount of music Literacy, otherwise it will be a laughingstock.
But in other words, only the capital can have such a grand occasion.
Because there are countless singers gathered in the capital, plus the three major music schools and numerous music training institutions, large and small entertainment and media companies... It's really normal that there are so many people.
According to the player number, Lu Chen was assigned to the 19th pilot spot.
The so-called initial trial site is actually a big tent. The contestants enter in order to perform. If they pass, they can enter the live audition on the 25th. If they fail, they will be eliminated directly.
The preparatory work of Shonan Satellite TV has been fully completed. Although there are many players waiting for the queue, everything is in order. There are awnings outside the initial trial site, plastic chairs for the players to rest, and free mineral water.
There are at least one or two hundred players sitting with Lu Chen, and some players even have their entire families out!
For example, there is a little girl on the left side of Lu Chen, she looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, she is dressed like a princess, and surrounded by her parents, grandparents, and grandparents like the queen mother and Lafayette.
The little girl was very arrogant, holding a pink guitar in her arms, probably noticing Lu Chen's gaze, she turned her head and rolled her big eyes at Lu Chen, her mouth was so pouted that she could hang a feeding bottle.
Lu Chen couldn't help but shook his head. He stood up and said to the little girl's grandmother, "Old man, this seat is for you. Take care of your body."
The seats in the waiting area are all for the contestants, and there is no group of relatives and friends. Lu Chen saw that it was really hard for the old man to stand, so he took the initiative to give up his seat.
The surprised grandma and the little girl's parents thanked her repeatedly, and Lu Chen stood aside with a smile.
Interestingly, the little girl didn't know what happened, but suddenly her eyes were red, and big crystal tears fell down with patter, which shocked the whole family.
The next moment, she jumped down from her seat, pulled her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, sit here for you!"
Her grandfather hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Grandpa won't sit, Xiaoqi will sit."
The little ancestor immediately lost his temper: "I told you to sit down, if you don't sit down, I'll go home and stop playing!"
Her grandfather had to sit down.
Only then was the little girl satisfied, and then looked at Lu Chen with provocative eyes.
Lu Chen smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
The little girl didn't buy it, she hummed and turned her head away from him.
Time passed bit by bit, the clouds in the sky cleared and the sun rose, the hot sun shone in the open-air gymnasium, the temperature continued to rise, and there was an anxious atmosphere in the air.
Lu Chen was a little groggy from waiting, and drank two bottles of mineral water.
"Contestants 17688 and 17689, please come and prepare!"
At this time, a staff member walked out of the pilot on the 19th, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Please come in and get ready!"
Immediately, two singers stood up and followed the staff into the big tent.
Lu Chen was immediately refreshed, and after sitting here for more than 2 hours, it was finally his turn!
The efficiency of the organizers is still very high. The big tent as the initial trial site has entrances and exits on the left and right sides. Players lined up on this side enter, and people come out on the other side. Newcomers from outside the venue enter the waiting area.
The one who just came out was a girl in a white dress. She cried so much that she even took off all the makeup on her face. She didn't care and ran to the sidelines. She was probably eliminated ruthlessly in the first round.
The players in the waiting area looked at it, and they were used to it.
Tens of thousands of people participated in the preliminary examination of the audition, and at least 90% were eliminated in the first round. The competition of this kind of popular talent show is actually very cruel. possibility of being eliminated.
Shonan Satellite TV's talent show has always been very controversial, but it can't stand the high ratings of others!
Therefore, as a contestant, you must be mentally prepared to suffer failure.
In contrast, Lu Chen's mentality is much more relaxed - he is happy to succeed, and it doesn't matter if he loses.
He is mainly here to warm up and get acquainted with the process and atmosphere of the draft.
If Chen Jianhao's judgment is correct.
After about 5 minutes, two more players came out, and then the staff followed.
"Contestants 17690 and 17691, please come and prepare!"
Lu Chen hurried over with the guitar.
It's also a bit of a coincidence that the player No. 17691 following him is that tsundere little girl.
Her group of relatives and friends wanted to follow in, but they were blocked by the staff: "Family members are not allowed to enter!"
Lu Chen looked back and saw them surrounded by the entrance very anxiously, and said, "Don't worry, I will help take care of this little sister, and I will be out soon."
It was probably because Lu Chen's act of giving up his seat earlier made the little girl's family feel good, so they reluctantly felt relieved.
The little girl hummed: "I don't want you to take care of me, I'm not your little sister either!"
Lu Chen ignored her, and looked curiously at the situation in the initial pilot site.
His current position should be regarded as the backstage, but the area is very small. There are two singers waiting to play in front of him. Sitting here, he can clearly hear the singing on the stage inside and the judges' judgment.
When he came in, a contestant had just finished singing.
I just heard the judges say: "There are two paragraphs that are well written and sung well, let's pass."
Another judge said: "Well, I agree."
The third judge: "Pass!"
It was very fast, without any sloppiness. There were three judges in the first test, and two judges passed it.
And the time for the contestants to go on stage is only a little more than 1 minute, and they can’t sing longer if they want to. If the judges feel that it’s not right, they will be interrupted after a few words, and they will be eliminated!
The two singers ahead of Lu Chen were eliminated.
"Number 17690!"
Hearing his number, Lu Chen calmly picked up the guitar and walked in.
The layout inside was very simple. Three judges, two men and one woman, sat behind a long table. There was a folding chair in the open space in front of it. There was no microphone, but a small digital video camera stood beside it.
Just as Lu Chen stood still, the female judge said, "Let's begin."
She should have said the same thing many times, looking weak.
Lu Chen bowed slightly as a salute, then plucked the strings skillfully and began to play.
What he played was "You at the Same Table".
