"Singing China" has a total of 35 contestants in the first qualifying competition in the capital division.
Lu Chen's number is 0030, and Mu Xiaochu is still behind him, 0032.
The player on the stage at this moment is contestant 0017.
Therefore, there was still plenty of time, and he opened the case and took out the guitar again.
Plucking the steel strings skillfully, Lu Chen played a song "Sweet Memories" to accompany Mu Xiaochu.
The tune of this well-known sweet song is very simple and does not require any complicated fingering. It is an introductory repertoire for guitar playing. Although Lu Chen has not played it many times, it is still easy.
He even added a little bit of fancy to it.
At the beginning, Mu Xiaochu was shy, with a hint of uneasiness in her expression, but with the encouragement of Lu Chen's smile, she kept up with the rhythm accurately and sang her own voice.
"I will accompany you and walk along the most beautiful coastline..."
"Feeling of happiness, lingering and forgetting to return, sharing the same world together..."
"That sweet memory stays in my heart..."
"La~ la la~ la..."
Mu Xiaochu's voice is beautiful, sweet and moist, listening to it, it seems to be able to penetrate into the soul, making people feel like drinking honey water, cool and sweet, and they will be addicted to it unconsciously.
Naturally, many contestants and members of relatives and friends gathered around. Everyone politely kept silent and listened to her singing quietly, with smiles on their faces.
People with beautiful voices are pleasing to the eye no matter what.
A staff member at the scene quietly turned down the volume of the wall-mounted TV.
Mu Xiaochu, who was surrounded by people, was obviously a little nervous, but she quickly adapted and sang the whole song!
"La la la ~ this is our sweet memory!"
At the end of the song, there is a pause, and the lingering sound lingers, as if it is still in the heart, enough to be recollected for a long time.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The applause rang out, although it was not so warm, but full of sincere love.
Mu Xiaochu blushed embarrassingly, and bowed to thank the onlookers: "Thank you..."
"Xiao Chu..."
The two best friends hugged her from left to right, and said with a smile, "You are the best!"
Mu Xiaochu worked hard to break free from their embrace. She looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes and said, "Senior, come and sing us a song too, okay?"
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Lu Chen.
Among all the 35 players, Lu Chen is undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of appearance alone.
He is tall, young and handsome, with a sunny smile like a boy next door, just the type that the public likes.
Besides talent, just now Lu Chen's fingerstyle is very good, no doubt he understands music.
So everyone wants to hear how he sings. After all, "Singing China" is a talent show for singers.
There is no quota limit for qualifying. The current contestants are not real competitors, but those singers with strength and ideas will still pay attention to what they think is a strong enemy in advance.
Lu Chen is a strong enemy!
Does he have any weaknesses? For example, if you sing flatly or have a mediocre voice
"Yeah!"
The two unrelated people first clapped their hands and applauded, lest the world would not be chaotic.
Lu Chen laughed dumbfounded, thought for a while and said, "Then I'll present a song. Since the little beginner girl is singing Chen Fei'er's song, I'll sing Tan Hong's song."
Everyone couldn't help showing knowing smiles—Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er.
Lu Chen adjusted his sitting posture again, hugged the guitar and started playing.
"Flying dove!"
Just after playing the prelude for one bar, someone immediately recognized that it was Tan Hong's famous song, a classic among folk songs.
"On a rainy day, I'm walking on a deserted street..."
"Looking at the flowers, thank you..."
"I stand before you, dreaming, to be a dove flying in the blue sky..."
"La la ah~ Flying pigeons!"
Lu Chen has already played and sung this song countless times. It is his repertoire in Wangyoucao Bar. Even though he hasn't practiced it for a while, the repertoire is still perfect now, with impeccable fingering, singing skills, and emotions!
Regardless of the level of the players present, they all have basic music judgment.
As they listened, their eyes and even their expressions changed.
Some admire, some are surprised, some are envious, and some are vigilant!
After Lu Chen sang, Mu Xiaochu was the first to slap his palms, and he slapped them so hard that his palms turned red.
The applause of others followed.
Lu Chen bowed and smiled: "Thank you! Tan Hong, the flying pigeon."
There was an inexplicable light in his eyes.
This song once carried Lu Chen's original dream, but now playing and singing here, how can I not feel emotional
Someone asked, "Lu Chen, is this the song you prepared?"
All people in the backstage, including relatives and friends and staff, wear ID badges, and their names can be known at a glance.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, I have prepared another original song of my own."
It's just a qualifying match, there's no need to hide it, anyway, everyone will hear it in a short time.
Own original work
He's really confident—a lot of people think so.
In the eyes of most people, this song "Flying Pigeon" is enough for Lu Chen to win the semi-final pass. He actually brought his own original work to the stage, he was so full!
What original works can be compared with Tan Hong's "Flying Pigeon"? It happened that Tan Hong was the judge, and Lu Chen sang very well. If he gets the guidance of this superstar, he will be able to shine!
Original playing and singing can also stand out, but if the quality of the work is not good, it will be self-defeating.
Similar situations have not happened in previous drafts. Some players think too highly of themselves and insist on expressing themselves with original works, and the result is ugly.
"Singing China" is not "The Strongest Singer"!
Many people felt that Lu Chen had gone to the wrong set, and their expressions became strange while being surprised.
Of course, it is indispensable to secretly slander.
Lu Chen saw their expressions in his eyes, but he didn't care because the facts would prove everything.
Mu Xiaochu was innocent and supported: "Senior Lu Chen, you will definitely get the access card!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's work hard together."
"Contestant 0021, please follow me!"
At this time, an on-site staff member appeared in the background and said loudly: "No. 0022 is ready!"
The onlookers dispersed one after another, and the game was still going on!
Mu Xiaochu and her classmates also returned to their seats and stopped peeking at Lu Chen.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
For many, the wait is suffering, while for others, time flies by too quickly.
0022, 0023, 0024... One after another, the contestants came on and came back. Some of them successfully passed the judges' assessment and happily got the exquisite semi-final passes, and some were ruthlessly eliminated.
Crying away.
There are fewer and fewer people in the studio hall of Beijing Satellite TV.
Just after 8 o'clock, player No. 0029 entered the field.
Lu Chen, No. 0030, who was at the back, also appeared in the waiting area near the stage.
Contestant No. 0029 was the unshaven middle-aged man who was sitting on Lu Chen's right. He should be a street performer or a Beijing singer. His name was Gao Feng.
Standing on the stage, Gao Feng made a brief self-introduction first. He is from Heijiang in Northeast China, and he is indeed a Beijing drifter.
Tan Hong said: "You can start now, I wish you success!"
Gao Feng nodded and said, "Thank you."
He turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the sound pipe standing on the sidelines.
The accompanying music started immediately.
However, the extremely familiar melody shocked Lu Chen who was standing in the waiting area!
"I still remember the spring many years ago..."
"At that time, I hadn't cut my long hair, I didn't have a credit card or her, and I didn't have a home with 24-hour hot water."
"But I was so happy back then, even though I only had a broken acoustic guitar..."
What Gao Feng sang was "In the Spring"!
