Chapter 286 This chapter writes about the audition and Bai Di’s pretense
Jiang Cheng has already taken care of the sponsorship matter. The next thing Lin Zhibai has to do is to ensure that there are no mistakes in the auditions. He has to go to some audition sites in person. As Bai Di, it will be fine. Anyway, Bai Di is the voice of "The Voice". 》Music Director.
The next day.
Sioux City Stadium.
This is the audition venue for "The Voice" in Suzhou City. In fact, the same audition venues are available in major cities in Qinzhou. The auditions can screen out some outstanding contestants who are obviously more powerful. The list of these outstanding contestants can be found in It's time to ask Lin Zhibai, the music director of the show, to lead another round. The contestants who pass the two screenings can almost be added to the blind audition list during the recording stage.
“Hello, Teacher Baidi.”
The staff nearby introduced the situation to Lin Zhibai, "The audition is expected to last about half a month. We have already started for more than ten days. The afternoon audition will start around one o'clock."
“Is the workload heavy?”
“Overall, it’s okay, because the registered contestants must send a singing video to the program team in advance. Only if the singing effect is good will we notify them to come and participate in the audition.”
"OK."
Lin Zhibai is here to explore the situation today.
It didn’t take long for the staff to bring Lin Zhibai a list. “This is the information about the seed players that we think are relatively good after the auditions in the past ten days.”
Name: Wang Yunfei
Sex: Male
Age: 25 years old
Job: Amateur singer
Lin Zhibai didn’t say anything, and was about to continue looking at other lists, but the person in charge of the audition next to him hurriedly said: "This Wang Yunfei is tall and handsome, and his singing skills are not bad. You can listen to the effect."
Speaking, someone came over with a tablet.
Wang Yunfei’s previous singing performance was recorded by the program team. Lin Zhibai did not say anything and listened with headphones for a while. He found that there was indeed no big problem with this contestant’s singing skills, but there was nothing special about it. It was estimated that it would be difficult for the instructor to turn around.
Subsequently.
Lin Zhibai listened to the singing of many contestants one after another, and they all seemed to belong to the type that although there was something interesting, there was not much.
In addition, Lin Zhibai also found that the contestants who passed the audition were basically handsome men and beautiful women. It is estimated that the judges responsible for the audition took the factor of appearance into consideration, and it accounted for a large proportion.
Trouble!
I clearly told Jiang Cheng Qian Dingzhuwan that "The Voice" is a program that pays attention to sound. However, the people responsible for the auditions still used the same mentality of auditions in the past. I randomly selected ten audition promotion lists, and nine of them were What a handsome guy and beautiful girl, the rest of them are at least as good looking as they are.
This is dissatisfaction?
The person in charge of the audition in Su City was called Liu Hua, and he was very handsome. Seeing that Lin Zhibai's face seemed not to be very good, he felt a slight suddenness in his heart. He couldn't figure out how high the standard of this little song dad was, and he couldn't help but laugh. , "Teacher Bai Di, you haven't had lunch yet. Maybe I'll be the host. There's a delicious restaurant nearby..."
“Today’s audition is about to begin.”
Lin Zhibai refused. He wanted to see how the audition was going, but when it was time for lunch, he casually said, "Just give me a box lunch."
“Isn’t this bad?”
"Ok, deal."
Lin Zhibai ignored Liu Hua and continued to listen and watch the singing videos of the singers who had passed the audition. The more he watched, the more dissatisfied he became with the results of his work. These contestants said they were good or not, but they were all mediocre. It's weird, if you just open any talent show, wouldn't the contestants all be of this level?
“Are you dissatisfied?”
Liu Hua couldn't help but come over and started to complain, "You can't really blame me for that. Good contestants basically come from major music academies, but the program "Master and Apprentice" started preparations earlier than us. All the good talents from major conservatories have been selected by them, leaving us with people whose standards are more or less inferior."
“Who do you think is the best seedling here?”
"I think Liu Yi is pretty good. Her voice sounds like she has a professional background, and she has rich stage experience. She can not only sing but also dance. The most important thing is that she is also beautiful. If she performs well in the show, there is hope. Popular…”
Liu Hua talks eloquently.
Lin Zhibai said lightly: "How did Jiang Cheng explain to you? Did he say that "The Voice" is looking for voices rather than faces?"
“That’s what I said…”
Liu Hua smiled bitterly and said: "But we always have to consider the issue of audience popularity. For example, yesterday there was a rough guy who sang a soulful love song. I admit that the level was good, but his appearance was also not good. It’s like participating in a talent show.”
"What is your name?"
“Liu Hua.”
“I’m talking about the one who sings love songs!”
“It seems to be called…”
Liu Hua scratched his head and hesitated for a long time, saying that he couldn't remember.
“Is there a live singing video?”
“He didn’t advance, so I didn’t stay...”
“Bring me a lunch box.”
“I’ll ask the assistant to go…”
"you go."
Lin Zhibai glared at Liu Hua.
Liu Hua stood up and went to get a lunch box for Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai called Jiang Cheng directly and cursed, "I've told you so many times that you can't do anything right. What I want is a good voice, not a handsome guy or a beautiful girl. You are a talent show for an ancient emperor." Then Liu Hua also emphasizes that he has a professional background and refuses to advance anyone who is not a music major. Is there something wrong with your ears or your ability to execute?"
Jiang Cheng was in a daze after being scolded.
Probably because Lin Zhibai seldom got angry with him, it took him a while to come to his senses, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "I did ask Liu Hua to do it according to your instructions, but that guy made his own decision. Just remove him from his position and replace him with someone in charge. Boss, don’t be angry..."
“The quality of Kunpeng’s personnel has declined.”
Lin Zhibai nodded at Jiang Cheng and hung up the phone. Just as he was about to chat with the people below, a voice suddenly came from behind him:
“Tian…Tian Wei…”
Lin Zhibai turned around and saw that this person seemed to be a staff member in charge of the audition, so he frowned and said, "What Tian Wei?"
“That man’s name is Tian Wei!”
The staff carefully said: "Tian Wei sang a song called "Sea of Love". A strong man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, he sang with a very gentle feeling. However, Manager Liu felt that the other person's appearance was too rough and he was eliminated. I thought it was such a pity that I even filmed his concert..."
"I listen."
Lin Zhibai became a little interested.
The staff member took out his mobile phone, called up a video, and clicked to play. In it was a strong man with a beard, affectionately singing a very soft song. The strong contrast instantly made Lin know. Bai's eyes lit up!
“Do you have the information?”
“Yes, I saved it!”
The staff member quickly retrieved the strong man's information, and he actually saved it on his mobile phone.
Name: Tian Wei
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Job: Physical education teacher at Sucheng Yucai Middle School
Phone: 12345******
Lin Zhibai said: "What's your name?"
The other party said quickly: "My name is Jin Xiaofeng, and I am the music consultant assistant in charge of this audition!"
"Um."
Lin Zhibai remembered it. He was going to give the other party some benefits, and he also ordered: "Contact Tian Wei, I want him to be directly entered into the blind selection list of mentors."
"OK!"
Jin Xiaofeng was a little surprised.
Lin Zhibai was happy, "Does Tian Wei have anything to do with you? Are you so happy?"
“No, no, no!”
Jin Xiaofeng became nervous and stammered: "Teacher Bai Di...I, I, I...I just feel...it's a pity..."
"take it easy."
Lin Zhibai said: "You have the heart to love talents, which can be regarded as a great achievement."
Tian Weilin Zhibai is very optimistic about this guy. This guy will definitely become one of the seed contestants of "The Voice", and he will hopefully get the fourth rank!
As for appearance?
These external conditions sing a love song.
The contrast is full.
Lin Zhibai didn't care about the fact that the other party didn't come from a major. It didn't mean that someone with a wild background would be worse than someone with a major.
“Thank you, Teacher Baidi!”
Jin Xiaofeng did not stutter this time.
Lin Zhibai saw that the other party was still not leaving and seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he opened his mouth and said, "Is there anything else?"
“I would like to ask Mr. Bai Di to listen to a few more songs!”
“Really? You also recorded a lot?”
“Yes, they were eliminated like Tian Wei, but I think it’s a pity..."
“Listen.”
“I’m looking for headphones…”
“Just put it outside, no problem.”
“Okay, this player’s name is Luo Yan, please listen.”
"put."
Lin Zhibai looked at the scene recorded on his mobile phone. The clarity was acceptable, but the sound recording was not professional. After all, it was just recorded by Jin Xiaofeng on his mobile phone.
but.
As soon as Luo Yan spoke, Lin Zhibai ignored the problem of unprofessional recording. He was slightly surprised: "Is this a man?"
"right!"
“The song is sung by a female voice.”
Lin Zhibai can also do the same thing, but he uses a plug-in. Unlike Luo Yan, he can do it without relying on a plug-in. There is no sense of violation.
What a great voice!
Isn’t this a good voice?
Lin Zhibai patted Jin Xiaofeng on the shoulder. This guy looked to be in his thirties, but he had a unique vision, "Liu Hua eliminated Luo Yan?"
“Supervisor Liu thinks that Luo Yan’s situation is a curiosity, and he doesn’t like it very much…”
“He doesn’t like it, he’s the older one.”
Lin Zhibai really admired Liu Hua. If it weren't for Jin Xiaofeng, he wouldn't have known that he missed two good players.
“Is there any more?”
“There is another one, the level may not be that high, but I thought it was rare and interesting, so I recorded it.”
"listen and see."
Lin Zhibai soon knew what Jin Xiaofeng meant.
The next contestant is actually 60 years old this year, and he even came to participate in the show and sang rock and roll!
How rare!
It doesn't take much thinking to know that Liu Hua will definitely not let such an old man advance.
Lin Zhibai asked: "What is this uncle's name, and most importantly, how is his health?"
“The old man’s name is Ji Xiang and he is in very good health. To prevent us from worrying, he even submitted a physical examination report…”
“Get in touch and let him enter the blind audition.”
Lin Zhibai made up his mind immediately. This old man Jixiang is not simple at first glance. He can sing rock and roll so well!
"okay!"
Jin Xiaofeng and Lin Zhibai were in contact like this for a while, and the tension was relieved a lot.
Lin Zhibai felt that the other party was very clever, so he smiled and said: "Can you handle this audition if I leave it to you?"
"Ah I?"
Jin Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, "But Director Liu is the person in charge..."
Lin Zhibai waved his hand, "I removed Manager Liu, and now you are Manager Jin here. They don't understand my standards. You should understand what my standards are, right?"
“I know! Thank you, Teacher Baidi!”
Jin Xiaofeng didn’t expect that he would go from being a lowly to the person in charge of this audition in an instant. He also didn’t expect that Bai Di, as the music director of this show, would have such great power!
Although after the audition, I may have to be a little boy again...
Wrong!
If the people you find through the audition can perform well in the show, maybe they can be reused by Kunpeng in the future?
Jin Xiaofeng's heart suddenly lit up with fire!
Lin Zhibai didn’t say anything else. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared.
that's all.
Liu Hua brought a box lunch to Lin Zhibai and then disappeared.
Zhibai doesn't care how to deal with Liu Hualin, Jiangcheng will take care of it. Jin Xiaofeng was promoted on the spot and became the person in charge of the Sioux City audition.
…
After Lin Zhibai finished eating his box lunch, today's audition officially began. He sat at the judges' table with a tinge of excitement.
Contestant number one.
Contestant No. 2.
Contestant No. 3.
Several contestants sang the song one after another, and Lin Zhibai was not satisfied.
However, these contestants were so pleasantly surprised that they were eliminated with a smile because they did not expect to meet Bai Di in the audition!
The living kind!
Inevitably, Lin Zhibai gave several signatures.
After several consecutive rounds, a female contestant named "Zhao Youyue" came on stage.
“This will definitely not work.”
“Teacher Bai Di doesn’t like handsome boys and beautiful girls very much.”
This Zhao Youyue is very beautiful, but the people in charge of the audition already know:
Lin Zhibai sent several people who had been eliminated before into the blind audition, but no one was handsome.
However.
When Zhao Youyue started singing, everyone got goosebumps. It was a very lustful feeling that made people feel itchy.
“It’s a pity that it’s just too much...”
"Um?"
“Passed?”
What people didn’t expect was that Lin Zhibai actually passed!
“Handsome guys can’t do it, but beautiful women can?”
Everyone exchanged glances, but did not dare to question Lin Zhibai's decision.
Only Jin Xiaofeng, who had just been promoted by Lin Zhibai, showed an unsurprising smile. He had thoroughly understood Teacher Bai Di's standards!
It has nothing to do with the face.
It has something to do with sound!
At this moment, another contestant appeared, also a woman, but her appearance was definitely not comparable to that of Zhao Youyue, she was short, chubby and quite stocky.
“My name is Zhang Xiuqin, I am 22 years old and I come from a mountainous area in the north of Qinzhou…”
“Start your singing.”
Zhang Xiuqin nodded and started singing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole audience staggered, and even Lin Zhibai showed a dumbfounded smile.
Just because Zhang Xiuqin’s voice is so special!
If Luo Yan, as a man, sounds like a woman, then as a woman, Zhang Xiuqin sounds especially like a man!
It’s still the kind that’s very rough and has a frosted feel!
"pass!"
Halfway through the other party's singing, Lin Zhibai decided to pass. The sound would definitely scare Lao Zhang and the others.
“I passed?”
Zhang Xiuqin stayed for a while and suddenly screamed, "Thank you, Teacher Bai Di! I really like your "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow"!"
Lin Zhibai: "Thank you...huh?"
Jin Xiaofeng next to him raised his forehead and said, ""The Snow on the Broken Bridge" is a song of Chu Ci."
Zhang Xiuqin: “…”
This child from the mountains hid her face and ran away, as if she was afraid that Lin Zhibai would cancel her promotion spot.
that's all.
Lin Zhibai stayed all afternoon and selected two people to advance.
Before leaving, Lin Zhibai said to Jin Xiaofeng: "You can also run for auditions in other cities. You understand my standards better."
"clear!"
Jin Xiaofeng nodded vigorously. He must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Opportunities in life sometimes come so suddenly!
…
Jin Xiaofeng became the spokesperson sent by Lin Zhibai, and his position was the general person in charge of the audition for "The Voice"!
Next.
Jin Xiaofeng would send Lin Zhibai some player information and live singing videos every day.
There are many good seeds in it!
Lin Zhibai was very satisfied. Jin Xiaofeng’s choice was much more reliable than the previous Liu Hua!
“Boss, I was wrong!”
Jiang Cheng ran over to apologize, knowing that he had offended Lin Zhibai because of Liu Hua's incident.
"never mind."
Lin Zhibai would not be embarrassed by Jiang Cheng, the matter was over.
“This Jin Xiaofeng is a talented person. After the audition, we will arrange a good position for him in Kunpeng.”
"clear!"
Jiang Cheng also knew that Lin Zhibai mentioned Jin Xiaofeng as the general person in charge of the audition.
Then Jiang Cheng added: "Maybe the boss should also meet with our four instructors today. They are rehearsing today."
“Then let’s go.”
Lin Zhibai took Jiangcheng’s car to the recording site.
The recording site was at Tianguang Entertainment. Needless to say, it was Su Chan’s favor. Of course, the rent still had to be paid.
In the studio.
Zhou Hanjin is playing with a chair.
Snapped.
turn around.
Let the staff turn back, and then he turned back again with a "pop".
beside.
Zhang Xiyang was chatting with Qin Lian.
Li Xiao was sitting on the chair next to Zhou Hanjin, whispering something, when he suddenly saw Lin Zhibai.
“Teacher Baidi?”
She spoke subconsciously, and then Zhou Hanjin, who was playing with the chair, almost fell out.
“Four teachers, Teacher Baidi is here!”
Jiang Cheng said hello, and the four of them stood up and walked over.
“Hello.”
Lin Zhibai shook hands with four mentors respectively.
Here, Zhang Xiyang is an old acquaintance of Lin Zhibai.
Qin Lian is a mythical singer, and Lin Zhibai has seen her in the company.
On the other hand, Lin Zhibai knew Zhou Hanjin and Li Xiao, but this was the first time they met them in real life.
“Teacher Baidi.”
When Zhou Hanjin shook hands with Lin Zhibai, his expression was a little uncomfortable and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Xiao, however, has a very talkative personality. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I have met the famous Teacher Bai Di."
“There will be more opportunities to meet in the future.”
Lin Zhibai also smiled, "You four already know how the show will be played, right?"
“I know, just turn your chair.”
Zhou Hanjin spoke. He liked this design very much and thought it looked very handsome and cool when he turned it around.
“That’s not what I’m talking about.”
Lin Zhibai said: "The four mentors need some program effects."
“Is there a script?”
Zhou Hanjin frowned. The reason why he doesn't like participating in variety shows is because there are scripts, which are not real at all.
"no."
Lin Zhibai said calmly: "You all know the rules, right? You will have to bring your own team members to a duel in the end, but you should know that in a talent show, the best players are actually very rare, so I must remind you. , when you meet a good player, you must try your best to win it, don’t care about the reputation of the king of singers and the queen of songs..."
“Do I have to grab it?”
Zhou Hanjin felt that this was not in line with his style as a singer!
Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "You don't have to rob it. This is just my suggestion. How to play it depends on you."
There was a pause.
Lin Zhibai deliberately loudly said to Zhang Xiyang: "Lao Zhang, you have to fight anyway. How can you win the championship without strong students? After all, in this competition, no matter how high the instructor's level is, he cannot compete for the students. In the end, it is not the strength of the students that matters. ?”
"clear."
Zhang Xiyang said with a smile: "I still want to win a championship."
The more Zhou Hanjin listened, the more he felt something was wrong. It was really impossible not to rob him!
A large part of the reason why I came to participate in this show is to defeat Zhang Xiyang and win the championship!
It would be too shameful to lose to Zhang Xiyang, right?
At that time, we must rob people fiercely!
Let alone Zhou Han, Qin Lian and Li Xiao also understood the stakes, and their eyes suddenly twinkled.
“You have to work hard to rob people!”
Lin Zhibai continued to tell Zhang Xiyang: "For example, how many concerts are you going to hold this year? You can bring students to show your face. This kind of promise does not violate the program rules and is very attractive to students..."
Good guy.
Every sentence does not mention Zhou Hanjin, but every sentence mentions Zhou Hanjin.
Zhang Xiyang suppressed a smile and nodded. He didn't have much contact with Zhou Hanjin, and he knew that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Hanjin, he was just very good-looking.
And Lin Zhibai's words were just to make Zhou Han understand that there is no shame in robbing people.
It will be embarrassing if you fail to recruit good students and lose the game in the end.
Anyway, Zhou Hanjin's eyes were rolling around now, and he had already begun to figure out how to attract good students to his account.
After giving some advice, Lin Zhibai said: "Then if you need my help with anything, you can ask me. I am the music director, and I will definitely help you with music."
“It really does.”
The director of the program actually came over and said, "Our program still lacks a theme song!"
"theme song?"
Lin Zhibai asked: "What is the request?"
The director said: "I personally think that it is best for this theme song to be simple and catchy, and then it must emphasize dreams, because the contestants who come to our show all have dreams, and the theme song must fit in with the spirit of chasing dreams. Be sunny and positive, after all who participates in the talent show who doesn’t long for a bright future?”
"Understood."
Lin Zhibai said: "Wait for me for a few minutes."
Said.
Lin Zhibai asked Jiang Cheng to find pen and paper.
Qin Lian:?
Li Xiao:?
Zhang Xiyang:?
Zhou Hanjin:? ? ?
Are you going to improvise the rhythm of a song?
Isn’t this what Chu Ci is best at?
