Chapter 278 Scheming Boy
Some players participate in the competition in combination, so there are actually fifty-six people in the top fifty in the competition area. When grouping, no matter how many people are in a group, they count as one person.
The program team allows contestants to form teams freely, so Zhang Wei, Ye Haotian and Lu Yunxiang naturally chose to form a team.
The result of the three-person team-up was that other contestants did not dare to form a team with them.
Five people form a team, three of them are in a group, and the other two are definitely in a weak position and lack the right to speak in the team.
The rule of the competition is that five people sing a song. If three of them form a group, the other two people will have to listen to those three people about which song to choose. Who sings which line is also decided by the three people.
A song always has dull parts and climax parts. If you are deliberately asked to sing the dull parts, the judges will definitely not give you high scores when the time comes. On the contrary, if you sing the climax of a song, it will be easier to show your level and advance.
Similarly, a song will always have easy parts and difficult parts. If you are asked to sing the more difficult lines, it will be a bonus if you can sing them well. As long as the singing is poor, it will be a big mistake and it is very likely to be eliminated directly.
Therefore, when forming a team, players would rather form a team with strangers than form a team with three people. If the trio wanted to deliberately cause trouble, the other two would definitely suffer.
So it was not until the last moment that two players who couldn't find a team were forced to join Zhang Wei's team.
These two people have been reduced to the point where no one wants them, and there is no doubt that they are problem children.
One of them is a boring gourd and will not take the initiative to communicate with others. If you take the initiative to talk to him, he will not say anything else except "um" and "oh", although he is not autistic. To that extent, but definitely an extremely introverted person.
Other groups don’t know how to deal with this kind of person who is completely unable to take the initiative to communicate. Fortunately, Zhang Wei and others have experience in dealing with autistic people, and there are still some ways to deal with introverts.
The other one talks incoherently. You ask him something, and he answers something else. You ask him what he ate at night, and he replies that you had a dream last night and felt a little out of sorts.
It is quite troublesome to form a team with two players like this.
In a room prepared by the organizer, five people began to discuss the competition.
"In terms of clothing, should we unify it? I think five people wearing the same clothes show that we take the competition more seriously, maybe it is a bonus!" Lu Yunxiang asked.
"Well..." The introvert said, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed.
"Fifty meters further outside, there is an alley. There is a Malatang restaurant inside. It tastes good. Do you want to go and try it together?" The incoherent person said, and it turned out that it had nothing to do with the topic.
When Ye Haotian saw this posture, he felt that it would be difficult to unify his thoughts with these two people, so he simply said: "Okay, it's just our group, don't do such complicated things, let's just choose songs. ! ”
"That's right." Lu Yunxiang looked a little discouraged when he saw the state of his two opponents.
"What good ideas do you have about selecting songs?" Ye Haotian still asked for the opinions of the two outsiders first.
"Oh." The introvert squeaked again.
"Brother Haotian, I have an idea. The five of us sing a song together, so why not just choose a song from a singing group? What do you think?" Lu Yunxiang said.
"This is a good idea. How about choosing from the songs of the Backstreet Boys. They are five people and we are also five people. It just matches." Ye Haotian is indeed a fan of the Backstreet Boys.
"The Backstreet Boys are too old and are not popular now. I think we should choose Linkin Park. The most popular group in Europe and America now must be Linkin Park! Just choose the song "Numb", how popular! I'vebecomesonumbIcan 'tfeelyouthere! Becomesotiredsomuchmoreaware!"
Lu Yunxiang couldn't help but start humming.
"I have no problem, what about you?" Ye Haotian looked at the two outsiders again.
“I think black is better than white if we dress uniformly. Black looks cooler!” the incoherent person said.
Ye Haotian was immediately speechless. We were already discussing song selection, but this guy was still thinking about uniform dressing. He was obviously not on the same channel as everyone else.
"Forget it, let's make up our own minds!" Ye Haotian sighed helplessly, and then said: "Find someone to write the lyrics to "Numb" and let's divide them up."
After a while, Lu Yunxiang brought it Five copies of "Numb" lyrics.
"Let's break down the lyrics. The first line should be the easiest to sing. Which of you will do it?" Ye Haotian asked deliberately.
He knows that introverts will definitely not take the initiative to speak, and incoherent people are not on the same channel as others. Even if they ask symbolically, they still have the final say.
As expected, neither the introvert nor the incoherent person expressed an opinion.
"Zhang Wei, you should sing this first line!" Ye Haotian said immediately.
The first line of the song does not need to be high or low, and it doesn’t matter whether the tune is high or low. And if you sing the later part, you need to adjust it according to the key of the person in front. If the key of the previous part is relatively high and you can't catch it, you will definitely lose points.
Ye Haotian took care that Zhang Wei was not good at singing, so he gave Zhang Wei the first line that was easiest to sing.
In the next assignment, Ye Haotian repeated his same trick and gave Zhang Wei the parts that were easiest to sing to cover up his lack of singing skills.
The other two people did not object, as if they completely obeyed Ye Haotian's arrangements.
One of them is introverted and the other is incoherent. Not to mention that they are incapable of objecting. Even if they are normal people, in a two-on-three situation, their objections are ineffective.
"Do you all understand what you are singing? Let's practice it first? Xiao Lu, go prepare the music!"
"Okay!" Lu Yunxiang nodded, and then put his The iPod is connected to the speaker.
The music started, and as the prelude ended, Zhang Wei sang the first line, followed by Lu Yunxiang, who sang the second line, and Ye Haotian, who sang the third line.
The fourth sentence is from an introvert, but when it was his turn, he remained silent.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop the music!" Ye Haotian stopped the music and asked, "It's your turn, why don't you sing?"
"Oh." The introvert said as usual.
"I asked you why you don't sing, what are you talking about?" Ye Haotian then asked.
“Don’t you like this song?” Zhang Wei asked from the side.
"Is it because you can't sing?" Lu Yunxiang also asked.
"Yes!" The introvert nodded slightly.
"That's not true, right? This song "Numb" is so famous, but you can't sing it?"
"I don't know!" Three words finally popped out of the introvert's mouth.
“Hahaha, he doesn’t understand English!” The incoherent person finally followed the channel.
"You don't speak English, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have chosen this song." Ye Haotian said a little discouraged.
"Yeah!" The introvert lowered his head and returned to his original state.
“You didn’t even ask!” the incoherent man said.
"Okay, now I ask, can you sing English songs?" Ye Haotian looked helpless.
As expected, the introverted person shook his head, while the incoherent person answered: "I can sing the alphabet song, can it be considered an English song? I learned it in the first grade of junior high school, and I still remember it, ABCDEFG, HIJKLMN..."< br>
"Okay, these are all weird things!" Ye Haotian sat down, completely discouraged.
Zhang Wei had no choice but to persuade: "It's normal for music players to not understand English. If they really learn English very well, they will most likely study hard to get into college. Okay, since they don't know how, then Just change the song!" "What song?" Ye Haotian asked.
"Let's follow Xiao Lu's idea and find a music group and use their songs." Zhang Wei said.
"How about Beyond? Vast seas and skies, glorious years? These are all familiar songs." Lu Yunxiang suggested immediately.
“No, maybe these two can’t speak Cantonese either!” Ye Haotian shook his head.
"Shui Mu Nian Hua? Sing "With You in My Life"?" Lu Yunxiang suggested again.
"It's better to use Yuquan's songs, which will make you more famous." Zhang Wei said.
"Yu Quan can also do it, but Yu Quan only has two people."
Ye Haotian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yu Quan has a song for three people, "Running", you must be able to sing it, right? , the key is that this song is not very difficult!”
It is not very difficult and suits Zhang Wei very well.
Ye Haotian looked at the two problem children again: "Yu Quan's "Running", are you two okay this time?"
......
In 2003, the Chinese Basketball Association was looking for candidates for the CBA. As a theme song, "Running", a duet by Yu Quan and Huang Zheng, was finally selected. With the blessing of this aura, "Running" quickly spread throughout the country and became popular all over the country.
In addition to appearing frequently on TV, this song is also played in roadside barber shops, small supermarkets, large shopping malls, and even at events such as exhibitions and competitions. It’s even more common in KTV. Even those who can’t sing can hum a few words.
Ye Haotian rearranged the order of the lyrics, still giving the least difficult passage to Zhang Wei, and the rehearsal could finally proceed.
Everyone is familiar with this song. During the rehearsal, we only needed to practice coordination and tacit understanding, so it didn't take much time. In one afternoon, the rehearsal was completed.
On the way back to Tsinghua University, the three of them discussed the afternoon rehearsal again.
"Brother Haotian, what do you think of those two people singing?" Zhang Wei asked.
"It's okay! The singing level of these two people should be similar to Xiao Lu. If they can enter the top 50 in the competition, their level will not be very bad." Ye Haotian said.
“How does it compare to me?” Zhang Wei then asked.
"To be honest, I can sing better than you!" Ye Haotian said without mercy.
"So, I will definitely be eliminated tomorrow!" Zhang Wei sighed helplessly.
"Not necessarily, you still have a chance. The silent one has a pretty good voice, but if you look at him like that, he definitely doesn't have much stage presence when he's on stage. His singing skills are not good enough, and he has a good voice. He lacks stage performance and will most likely be eliminated.
As for the other one, his voice is quite loud and he can sing the high notes, but he can’t sing the bass. To put it in layman’s terms, Even if he only yells, the judges should be able to tell, and he probably won't be in the top ten," Ye Haotian continued to comment.
"Listening to what you said, I feel confident at least." Zhang Wei stretched out: "Then go to bed early tonight, recharge your batteries, and strive for promotion tomorrow!"
...
In the 50-to-10 competition, Zhang Wei and these five people were the last group to appear. Mainly because Zhang Wei and these five people were the last group to complete the team.
The last group to appear is definitely the worst pick. The judges have three places that will directly advance to the top 10, as well as fifteen undecided places. If the previous contestants sing well, the judges will directly give away the places. By the time of the final group, there may not even be any undecided places.
With the first group of five players taking the field, the game officially began.
About seven or eight minutes later, news came from the front desk that all five contestants in the first group were eliminated! This gives other contestants a big shot in the arm.
Immediately after the second group came on stage, only one person was awarded TBD, and the other four were all eliminated.
In the blink of an eye, 9 of the 50 people were eliminated! After the news reached the backstage, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The next few groups continued to appear, and people were constantly eliminated. Even several professional singers who made a living by singing were also eliminated.
“So many have been eliminated, and I feel that the judges’ requirements are much stricter than those in previous auditions.” Lu Yunxiang said.
"There have been six groups, and only one has directly advanced to the top ten. Currently, there are eight to be determined. There are still two promotion places and seven to be determined. It seems that I have hope!" Zhang Wei said happily! .
In the blink of an eye, two more groups were played, and there was still only one who directly advanced to the top ten, while there were three more places to be determined.
"This is the ninth group. It's our turn to appear soon. Get ready!" Ye Haotian said.
"There are still two places for direct promotion. Brother Haotian, you have to fight." Zhang Wei said.
While several people were preparing, news came from the front desk, and the judges suddenly gave away two places for direct promotion. In this way, the three places that directly advance to the top 10 have been used up.
But the good news is that there are still three places to be determined. Of the five people in Zhang Wei's group, only two will be eliminated, and the remaining three can be determined.
"Of the three places to be determined, Ye Haotian can definitely get one, and Lu Yunxiang should also be able to grab one. As for me, it depends on luck." Zhang Wei thought, even if he was eliminated, it would be quite good for two good friends to advance. Not bad.
Five people stood on the stage, and as the music sounded, they finally started singing.
"The speed is seventy miles, the mood is, freedom, the end of hope is the sea of love, running with all my strength, the dream is on the other side." Zhang Wei is still responsible for the first sentence.
"We want to roam the world..." Ye Haotian continued the second sentence with a stable basis.
"Running with the wind and freedom is the direction..." Lu Yunxiang also sang well.
Next came the incoherent person. He spoke into the microphone, his voice suddenly raised a few points, appearing high-pitched, powerful, and penetrating, like a pile of dry wood that was instantly ignited by a fire.
Hearing the incoherent singing, Ye Haotian frowned fiercely.
During the rehearsal, Incoherent Man did not use such a high-pitched and powerful singing method, and his voice did not have such traditional power. But when it came to the actual performance, it was like a completely different person. He who could only shout at first suddenly became a somewhat capable singer.
"This guy deliberately hid his strength during rehearsal!" Ye Haotian realized this instantly.
However, what surprised Ye Haotian even more was the introverted singing that followed.
Yesterday, Ye Haotian once commented that he had no stage performance, but today the introvert directly slapped Ye Haotian in the face with his actions. Not only does the body sway with the music, but many body movements and even dull expressions become vivid. The whole person seems to be completely immersed in the music and intoxicated by the song.
The introvert has a good voice and some singing skills. Coupled with this infectious stage performance, he instantly attracted the attention of the judges.
"This guy was also deliberately hiding his strength during rehearsals! Oops, he underestimated the enemy!" Ye Haotian's eyes flashed coldly.
These two guys have been pretending to be stupid. They are deliberately pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and they are paralyzing themselves!
It was precisely because of the performance of these two guys that Ye Haotian did not take them seriously, so he did not formulate a special strategy.
Now it seems that I have been completely fooled by these two guys!
Next to him, Lu Yunxiang also realized this and glanced at Zhang Wei involuntarily, showing a little worry.
Zhang Wei also understood that although he had no singing skills, he could still tell whether others sang well or not.
"It is said that the entertainment industry is in deep water, and the ancients do not deceive me! It's just auditions for the competition area, and there is intrigue in this stall! These two guys, they are not problem children, they are clearly scheming boys!"
