"Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday, will you still remember tomorrow, once..."
"stop!"
An original song "You at the Same Table", Lu Chen just sang the first few lines when he was interrupted by the female judge.
The judge, who was still in his thirties and forties and still had charm, said with a smile: "That's right, I'll pass it for you."
She turned to look at the other two judges: "What's your opinion?"
The two judges nodded: "Yes!"
The female judge smiled at Lu Chen: "Congratulations, you can participate in the official audition, come on!"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, bowed and said, "Thank you three teachers."
It took less than half a minute for him to take the stage, and he passed it like this
This is too fast!
In fact, Lu Chen underestimated his own strength. His strength is not only original and playing and singing skills, but also includes his external conditions. Simply put, it is his appearance.
With a height of 1.80+, a handsome appearance and a good and healthy physique, he will not be easily eliminated in any preliminary audition of the public audition—the privilege of a handsome guy.
So as long as Lu Chen can play and sing, the three judges won't care about his originality and will pass it straight away.
This is an era of looking at faces, and Lu Chen just belongs to this era!
After he left the stage, a staff member sent a piece of plastic-enclosed color-printed cardboard with the logo of "The Strongest Singer" and his new audition number—0580—printed on the front.
As for the reverse side of the cardboard, it was printed with two large gold characters of "advanced" against the background of the blue starry sky.
Very beautiful cards, even if they fail to make it to the next round, they can be collected as souvenirs.
Lu Chen didn't leave the big tent in a hurry, but waited for the little girl behind him to enter the stage.
This little girl with number 17691 performed very well, she played the guitar to a certain level, so she quickly got the promotion card. When she came down and saw Lu Chen, she raised her round chin arrogantly.
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, and walked out of the initial pilot site with her.
The little girl's family had long been guarding outside. Seeing her triumphantly waving the promotion card in her hand, they all shouted excitedly, wishing to announce it to the world with great fanfare.
Lu Chen thought it was interesting, blessed him silently, and then left the gymnasium.
That night, he received a call from Chen Jianhao.
The other party briefly asked about Lu Chen's experience of participating in the preliminary audition during the day and his promotion number, but did not say much.
Lu Chen felt that his former boss seemed to be hiding something, or planning something.
It's just that everyone has their own privacy, and he doesn't need to go into it carefully.
The five days are neither short nor long, and they pass quickly in the busy work.
On June 25, sunny, "The Strongest Singer" officially auditioned.
The venue for the official audition is still the Capital University Gymnasium, but it has been moved from the open-air football field to the indoor basketball court. The scale has been reduced a lot, but the specifications have been improved a lot.
After being eliminated in the initial test, although not one out of ten singers advanced to the official audition, it was not possible to select all of them in just one or two days. Lu Chen's luck was still there, and he was still arranged on the first day.
The basketball court was divided into two by the sponsor, forming two stages for the live broadcast of the audition in the north and the south. Many staff members in Shonan Satellite TV uniforms were busy, and there were more than a dozen camera positions inside and outside.
It is said to be a live broadcast, but it is actually a recorded broadcast. The audition process will be broadcast on the Internet and TV after post-editing. There are also live broadcasts, but they are all on-site interviews and the like.
Therefore, most of the audition players will not appear on the screen unless they advance to the first round of the official competition.
The contestants sat in the audience seats of the basketball court according to their promotion numbers. They still entered the stadium by calling their numbers. Lu Chen visually estimated that there were about three or four hundred competitors on the first day.
Then there is the long wait.
Many players are very experienced. They gather together in twos and threes to chat and talk about music, encourage each other to relax, and some practice playing and singing repeatedly on the spot, but most of them are only fragments.
At noon, the staff delivered lunch boxes.
Although it's just fast food, the content is quite rich. Beef, shrimp and eggs plus seasonal vegetables are by no means the kind of cheap food that costs more than ten or twenty yuan, and the taste is quite good.
Lu Chen stopped eating when he was half full. It wasn't because he wasted food, but being full was not conducive to singing.
At around 1 pm, Lu Chen finally heard the staff calling his number as he wished.
"Number 0580!"
Under the guidance of the staff, he quickly came to the backstage, and after another 2 minutes, he made his official debut!
The number of judges in the official audition has increased to four, and two men and two women are not unknown people. Lu Chen recognized at least two of them, and the names of the other two are somewhat impressive, but they are not familiar with them.
The layout of the venue is very luxurious, with four cameras arranged in front, back, left, and right. Besides the four judges, there are as many as seven or eight staff members on site. Even if there is no audience, the atmosphere is completely different from the primary election.
Facing the four cameras and the gazes of the four judges, Lu Chen did not have stage fright, and said calmly, "Hello, judges and teachers. I am contestant No. 0580, Lu Chen, from East Zhejiang."
He has never eaten pork, and has seen pigs running around. In the past few days, Lu Chen has watched a lot of audition videos on the Internet, and he already knows quite a lot about the audition process, so after going on stage, he will introduce himself in a proper way.
"The song I'm bringing to you today is called You at the Same Table. Please give advice from the four teachers."
A female judge smiled and said: "Then let's start, you have 2 minutes, sing well."
Lu Chen knew this judge. She is a well-known female singer in China, Lu Ya, who is good at singing love songs. She should be in her thirties or forties this year, but she looks more like a twenty-something, full of mature and beautiful charm.
Lu Chen nodded, hugged the guitar and started playing and singing.
"Will you remember tomorrow, the diary you wrote yesterday..."
drop!
After playing the simple prelude, he just opened his mouth and sang a few lines, when the ear-piercing chirping sound suddenly sounded.
One of the judges had a striking red light on his desk!
According to the rules of the audition, this meant that the judge did not approve of Lu Chen's singing and would not be promoted.
Lu Ya looked at the other party in surprise.
This judge is Zhang Xiaoan, a variety show host of Shonan Satellite TV. He is well-known in the industry. It seems a bit unusual for him to reject Lu Chen so quickly.
Lu Chen has no problem with fingerstyle, and is even quite skilled. The melody of the work is also quite good. Why did he get a red light after only singing a few lines
Zhang Xiaoan was expressionless, as if he didn't notice Lu Ya's gaze at all.
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. It would be a lie to say that he was not affected by the sudden red light.
But he is not a fledgling rookie after all, so he continues to play and sing smoothly.
"... Do you still miss tomorrow, you who used to cry the most."
drop!
The second red light is on!
This time it was another female judge, Chen Zhenni, who returned to China from overseas in recent years to develop a female singer and musician, and is currently very popular in the pop music scene.
She didn't seem to like the style of Lu Chen's works, frowning impatiently.
According to the rules, if the four judges light up three red lights, they will be eliminated directly!
Lu Chen, who had been turned on with two red lights, was completely calm, and finished playing and singing half of "You at the Same Table" by himself.
"thanks!"
He hugged the guitar and bowed to the judges to thank him.
Even if the front was disturbed by two red lights, Lu Chen's interpretation of this song was still perfect, without any flaws.
Zhang Xiaoan said lightly: "The style is too old, and the melody is so-so, so I have to keep working hard."
Chen Zhenni commented: "You play the guitar well, but we selected the strongest singer-songwriter, so I can only say Sorry, I hope you will work harder next time."
The implication is that Lu Chen's songs are still not good.
Lu Ya smiled and said, "Lu Chen, I think your work is very good..."
drop!
Before she finished speaking, the fourth judge sitting on the far left pressed the red light.
Three red lights, out!
