Chapter 429 Preliminary Round


Chapter 429 Preliminary Round

The style of a small county town is that the slightest disturbance will be known to the whole city, not to mention the fanfare now.

When Zhou Zhi went to school that night with two thick playlists, many classmates had already come to inquire.

During the second period the next morning, Guan Tingting’s sweet voice sounded from the loudspeaker of the school radio station: “Good news, good news! Dear students, the county is organizing a karaoke competition. , I hope that students from our school will also actively participate, especially in the pop song part. We have huge advantages.”

“In order to facilitate the majority of students to register for the competition, through operation, our school’s radio station has undertaken the glorious registration statistics task of Jiachuan Middle School students. Now students only need to come to us between classes. It’s easy to sign up at the radio station.”

"If students who register for the competition obtain relevant rankings in the county, the school will also provide encouragement and rewards. I hope that the students will live up to their time, sing loudly, participate enthusiastically, show their style, and strive for good results!"

Zhou Zhi's voice sounded : "You can come to the radio station to check the alternative songs for the competition. The organizer requires each contestant to prepare two songs, but that is only a preliminary requirement. I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to prepare three to five songs. There are still two days left for registration. God, everyone come quickly. "

"Now let me play a song recorded with the equipment used in this competition. It is "My Motherland" sung by Guan Tingting, a classmate of our school."

"Anyone who is willing to stay. Students who downloaded recordings of their own competition songs, You only need to pay a fee of ten yuan to get a tape of the songs sung in this competition as a souvenir.”

“This is a benefit that the school has obtained for the students. Next, please listen to the recording. Effect.”

After the melodious prelude of the music, Guan Tingting's sweet singing voice sounded on the radio: "A big river - wide waves - wind blowing rice flowers - fragrant on both sides..."

Guan Tingting turned off the microphone and closed her eyes intoxicated. Close your eyes and listen to your own singing: "Wow, I sing so well..."

To be honest, this really cannot be blamed on Guan Tingting Versailles, and it is indeed the first time that she has "really" heard her own singing. singing.

If a person sings without the help of equipment, most of the singing he hears is actually transmitted to the ears through the organs in the body, so it is actually different from what outsiders hear.

Only through in-ear monitoring, or recording and playing, can you truly know what your singing sounds like to others.

Of course, karaoke can also perform some of these functions, because the singing outside the body is amplified many times. When it is heard by the singer again, it has been amplified many times by the amplifier equipment, completely overwhelming the transmission inside the body.

It doesn’t matter to ordinary people, but for professional singers, if there is no teacher to monitor and guide them in real time, then singing karaoke is the easiest way to find that you can’t hear it, but others can hear it. Flawed details.

"Tingting, you need to learn how to operate the DJ quickly." Zhou Zhi said: "When the karaoke room is opened and there are no customers on weekend mornings, you can practice singing."

" "Yeah." Guan Tingting clearly understood what this equipment meant for her. The importance of improving singing skills, he nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Jiuzi."

"Why thank me? You have to thank Brother Dayong. When the time comes, you will be more diligent and sweeter, and you will see what is in the hall. If you need help, just lend a hand.”

"My mother secretly told me that Brother Dayong can't support such a big mess, so he is an expert in doing this."

"Uh... this..." Zhou Zhi hadn't figured out how to explain it yet. , someone had already poked his head at the door: "Is something wrong with this classmate?"

"Brother Xiuzi, can I sign up now?" The person who poked his head was a boy with long hair.

When Zhou Zhi was the host of the New Year's Art Performance last year, he also served as an "Assistant to the Art Director". He is familiar with the backbone of art and literature on campus. This guy once played with Su Meng at the art performance. handful Guzheng and violin Chinese and Western ensemble: "Xu Jingfei! You can come here, come and see the playlist."

Xu Jingfei looked at the playlist book: "Wow, there are so many songs? Are there any by Leslie Cheung?"
>


"Look at the letters on the header. They are arranged according to the first letters of the singers' surnames. Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung are at the back." "I sing "The Wind Keeps Blowing" and... "Unruly Wind"." Xu Jingfei said. As he spoke, his eyes glanced directly at Guan Tingting: "Tingting, you sing so well. Do you want to repay the nation?"

"My nation will repay the common people!" For the beginning Guan Tingting, a backbone of Chinese literature and art, also knew him: "In addition to playing the violin, you can also sing?"

"Sing blindly, I will sing blindly...Hey, what do the letters and numbers behind this song mean?"
>
“That’s the disc number and track order. This makes it easier for the DJ to quickly find the disc where the song is located. It doesn’t matter to you, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

"Oh, by the way... Who should pay for the tape recording?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Guan Tingting and smiled: "Tingting, the business is here."

Xu Jingfei is just an activist, very Soon, more and more people came to sign up for consultation.

They are all at an age where they are eager for fun and novelty. After three days of counting, there were more than 100 contestants, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of students in the school!

The number of people who signed up in the county was as high as over 800!

It became lively now, and on the weekend a week later, the preliminary competition officially began.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in the small square below China Merchants City, iron railings were set up around the judges' bench, and the county also sent armed police and public security to maintain order.

Beyond the stage and the iron fence, there was a sea of ​​people watching the excitement.

The participating singers are all lined up in the aisles of the Merchants City, and it is impossible to sing all the songs. Each singer is given four minutes to perform before the judges start scoring.

The only ones who can skillfully operate the equipment are Zhou Zhi, and Party B of the decoration project who was roped in by Zhou Zhi to accompany him, the sound engineer of Wuse Audio Equipment Co., Ltd. - Slender Monkey Li Jia.

This is still a very intense process, with more than 800 people each taking four minutes, which takes more than fifty hours not counting the time for getting on and off the stage and grading, and it takes six or seven days for eight hours a day.

Although there are three groups, there are basically no people in the bel canto group, one-third of the ethnic group, and the rest are crowded in the popular group.

In order to save time, the godfather made the decision and simply divided the competition into groups. Bel Canto and Nationalities held preliminary competitions in the Cultural Center and Sichuan Opera Troupe respectively. Bel Canto was purely a cappella, while Nationality only had accompaniment and sang with a meaty voice.

Only the pop song special performance held on the small square stage of China Merchants City is the full and lively performance.

There is nothing we can do about it, otherwise with so many people, the preliminary round alone would take seven days.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi adheres to the good habits left behind by later generations working in large units when it comes to playback equipment, namely LD machines. Key equipment must be backed up by two machines. Only after buying two machines can he support such operations.

The Bel Canto contestants are really beyond praise. The schools, enterprises and institutions in Jiachuan, as well as the talent reserves of the township people are really too small, and what they get in the end is a mess.

There was no other way. In the end, everyone brainstormed and had to merge the two singing styles, Bel Canto and National Singing, and expand the number of second and third places in the "Ethnic Bel Canto Category" to three and five respectively. .
