Popular entertainment circle, you call it a little hobby

Chapter 597
After talking on the phone with Gu Jiahui, Wang Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion. Sure enough, professional matters must be left to professionals. Gu Jiahui completely understood his intention.

Those selected by Gu Jiahui, Wang Xuan intends to treat them as seed players.However, there are still too few people, so we need to choose more.He opened the mailbox managed by Li Tao and began to pick people himself.

There were very, very many people who signed up. It took two hours for Wang Xuan to read through all the registration materials and select more than ten contestants.And the people he selected made Li Tao very speechless.

"Bus drivers, construction site workers, excavator drivers, cable workers, game anchors, freelancers, aerospace workers. Brother Xuan, are you sure that these people you chose are all right?" Li Tao couldn't help asking.

"There is a saying that masters are among the people, if they can do it or not, we will know once we let them come to the audition stage." Wang Xuan said, "Notify these people to come to the audition tomorrow."

"it is good!"

One night passed, and the next day, the audition scene.

Wang Xuan personally sat down.

The equipment has been tested, the players are all in place, and everyone is on their positions.

"Let's start." Wang Xuan said.

When Li Tao heard this, he called his number: "Number one, Zhang Nana."

Not long after, a very delicate girl came in from outside.From the looks of it, she was obviously a little nervous.After taking a deep breath, he slowly calmed down.She stood in front of the microphone in the middle of the field: "Hello, judges, my name is Zhang Nana, I am 23 this year, and I am now a third-year student. I have loved singing since I was a child."

Li Tao interrupted: "Let's just sing, there's no need for a personal introduction, it's all in your registration information."

"Okay." Zhang Nana nodded, "The song I brought is "Courage"."

After the words fell, Zhang Nana began to sing a cappella.

Yes, unlike the auditions of other talent shows, the auditions of "The Voice" do not include accompaniment.Because the accompaniment is not played, it can better show the vocal conditions and basic skills of the contestants.

The purpose of the audition for "The Voice" is to select contestants with distinctive and recognizable voices.Of course, if the songs sung by contestants are original, they are also allowed to play and sing by themselves.Original contestants can add points in any talent show.

It may be because of nervousness, or because she is not used to singing a cappella. Zhang Nana's performance is average, and she even went out of tune during the process.

Li Tao glanced at Wang Xuan and saw Wang Xuan shaking his head, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's done, you can go back and wait for the news."

Zhang Nana nodded.

But Wang Xuan said directly: "Don't wait for the news, I'm sorry, you sing well, but you can't meet our requirements for the time being. Maybe you shouldn't choose the song "Courage", this song may need to have that kind of song. It takes experience to sing out the emotion in the song.”

Zhang Nana was a little regretful when she heard the words, and bowed to the scene: "Okay, thank you Teacher Wang Xuan for your comment."

After Zhang Nana left, Wang Xuan said to Li Tao: "We don't need to drag the contestants here, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it, just answer them directly, so as not to let others have illusions."

Wang Xuan really hated the way of asking others to go back and wait for the news when there was already a result at the scene.Generally, if the person is not allowed to pass on the spot, it is impossible to let him pass afterwards.That being the case, why drag others?

Li Tao nodded: "Understood."

"Next one."

second, third, fourth
Seven or eight contestants passed by in a blink of an eye, and Li Tao felt that some of them sang well, but what he always waited for was Wang Xuan's sentence "You sing well, but you can't meet our requirements for the time being".

Li Tao didn't even know what kind of player Wang Xuan was looking for.

In the blink of an eye, several contestants passed by, but still no one passed the audition. The No.13 contestant, who Li Tao is looking forward to very much, is Zhang Duoduo.

Guo Hong on the side also became looking forward to it. This is the seed player she and Li Tao selected together.

She and the two of them had high expectations for this person.I feel that Zhang Duoduo is at least able to compete for the championship in other talent shows, even if he can't win the championship, he is still in the top five.

Zhang Duoduo is a beautiful woman, tall, with a good figure, and she can be counted among the beauties in the entertainment industry.

"Hello teachers, my name is Zhang Duoduo, and the song I brought is "Dark Blue"."

The song "Dark Blue" is one of Qiao Ziwei's representative works, and it is a song about the sea.

Zhang Duoduo is probably a fan of Qiao Ziwei.As soon as she opened her voice, Li Tao and Guo Hong nodded repeatedly, and even Wang Xuan nodded secretly.It wasn't until Zhang Duoduo sang the climax that Wang Xuan frowned.

After singing, Zhang Duoduo looked at the judges confidently.

"Although the treble is a little floating and a little vibrato, but the overall is still very good, I think it's okay."

"I also think it's good, especially the climax part. Dodo also made a small adaptation of the song "Deep Blue", which is very thoughtful. Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Guo Hong echoed, and the two looked at Wang together. Xuan.

But Wang Xuan shook his head: "I'm sorry, you sang very well, but it didn't meet our requirements, please go back."

Zhang Duoduo was stunned.

Li Tao was stunned.

Guo Hong was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Why? I think Duo Duo sings well, although there are some flaws, but the flaws are not concealed, and it is within the tolerable range. You can't compare her singing skills with the queen of singers, right? "

But Wang Xuan said: "First of all, her voice is not distinctive. Secondly, her singing skills are good, but only at a good level. However, the above two points are not the reasons for her being eliminated, and the last point is the main one. This song " Deep Blue is not sung in this way. This song mainly wants to express the fraternity of the sea. That kind of fraternity is far-reaching, has a long history, and is inclusive of all rivers. Therefore, the climax of the song "Deep Blue" is also sung in an open and lofty way. It's not a high-pitched song at all.

Before you adapt this song, you should also understand the theme that this song wants to express, high pitch for the sake of high pitch, and show off for the sake of showing off skills, which makes people uncomfortable. "

"But."

"Needless to say, please go back." Wang Xuan said.

"." Zhang Duoduo glanced at Wang Xuan full of complaints, and left angrily.

This scene made Li Tao frown a little.

"Mr. Wang, why don't you retreat behind the scenes and control the auditions behind the scenes. If you come out directly like this, you will easily fall into the shoes of others." Guo Hong said, seeing Li Tao frowning, she understood Li Tao's thoughts.

"It's okay!" Wang Xuan waved his hands, not caring.

Guo Hong nodded, secretly regretting it.

She actually thought Zhang Duoduo was pretty good, but she couldn't even pass the audition.I really don't know what kind of person Wang Xuan is looking for.

Auditions continue.

The next player is Zhang Han, the second seed that Guo Hong and Li Tao are optimistic about.

This man is a North Drift singer. He has been singing for many years and has been hanging around in various bars.Make money by singing in bars, and hope to be spotted by talent scouts.Singing skills still stand the test.

Zhang Han came on stage.

Li Tao said, "Let's begin."

Zhang Han turned to the microphone: "I brought a song "The Top of the Sky"."

This song should be quite famous in this world, and its style is actually similar to that of a song, "Farewell".It is a combination of traditional music and pop music, and there are some bel canto or ethnic singing in it, which is very enjoyable to listen to.

Zhang Han's singing skills are not bad, and his performance is very stable, even and steady, without any frizz.

A song is over.

Li Tao was very excited.

Guo Hong also raised her spirits, looked at Wang Xuan, and thought that this guy should be fine, right?
Unexpectedly, Wang Xuan shook his head: "You sang well, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my requirements. Please come back, thank you."

"What? Can't meet the requirements? Doesn't this work??" Zhang Han was a little anxious.

"Mr. Wang, Zhang Han is very good among the players we have selected. If he is not good enough, then our audition can be stopped. I feel that none of them can pass." Li Tao spoke for Zhang Han.

"Yeah, although I'm not a professional musician, but I have brought so many artists, I can still judge how well a contestant sings. Zhang Han obviously sings well. How can he sing in other talent shows? He can also be treated as a seed player, he just lacks a stage." Guo Hong said.

Wang Xuan shook his head: "First, other talent shows are other talent shows, "The Voice" is "The Voice", "The Voice" has its own selection criteria, and will not follow the standards of other talent shows.

The second Zhang Han sings well, but his voice is not recognizable at all, and he uses too many techniques in singing, but ignores the pouring of emotion. I am not satisfied with this. "

Zhang Han was a little unconvinced when he heard the words: "Voice recognition? This is the first time I've heard that someone uses this as a drafting standard. What's the use of recognition? Can't you sing well?"

"If the recognition is useless, it is said that your singing skills are not bad, and your appearance is not bad. You have been staying in various bars all year round, and your exposure is not small. Why is no record company interested in you? I don't know if you have thought about this. Question. I can only tell you that voice recognition is very important to a singer. This is the truth, if you can't listen to it, just pretend I didn't say it." Wang Xuan said.

Zhang Han was speechless, and before leaving, he said: "Okay, when "The Voice" starts broadcasting, I want to see how recognizable the people who can pass the audition are!"

Wanting to take the road of singing, Zhang Han is very confident in himself. He has always believed that he can eat this bowl of rice.This was the first time someone told him face to face that his voice was not recognizable.

So Zhang Han was a little unconvinced.

Or, is it a kind of anger after being uncovered with bloody scars?
The voice recognition is not good, doesn't Zhang Han know it?Maybe it's just self-deception.

Wang Xuan shook his head.He has no opinion on Zhang Han, and thinks that he sings well, but his voice lacks recognition, and Zhang Han is destined to not go far in the music world.Even if this kind of person sings a fire song, it is also a typical example of a singer who is not popular.If there is an accident, you are welcome to slap him in the face.

"Brother Xuan, I really don't know what your selection criteria are now." Li Tao smiled wryly.

"It's okay, you will know what my selection criteria are next." Wang Xuan said.

Li Tao was taken aback, then looked at the profile of the next player.

Well, the next contestant turned out to be someone personally selected by Wang Xuan, a construction site worker.

Li Tao said in his heart, are you serious?

Construction site workers, can they really sing well?

When the contestants came in, the whole audition scene seemed to be dark.This construction site worker is a young man in his 20s. He is tall and strong, with five big and three thick. It is probably because of working on the construction site all year round. An ordinary person.

The man was a little nervous after he went on stage, and introduced himself with some stammers: "My name is Jiang Daping, and I am a construction site worker."

Li Tao asked, "What song are you going to sing today?"

"It's "Sunny Day"." Sun Daxuan said.

After listening to the track, both Li Tao and Guo Hong had weird expressions on their faces, "Sunny Day"?Isn't this the song sung by Wang Xuan?This song is very popular, but it is a very lyrical and slow song, so it is hard for everyone to imagine that such a strong man would choose this song.

Wang Xuan said: "Let's begin."

"Okay." Jiang Daping took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then spoke.

"The little yellow flower of the story has been floating since the year I was born"

When the first line was sung, all the staff at the audition site were dumbfounded.

Li Tao opened his mouth wide
Guo Hong also looked like he had seen a ghost.

I rely on it.

This song is too soft.It should be noted that in front of him was a tall and strong man, but his singing voice was as gentle as water. This contrast, this contrast, almost made Li Tao and Guo Hong get goosebumps.

"I tried to hold your hand on a windy day
But the rain is getting so heavy that I can't see you

How long will it take me to be by your side

Maybe I'll be better off when the sun clears."

In the climax part, even if Li Tao and Guo Hong are not professionals, they can hear full of emotions from Jiang Daping's singing.This seems to be a construction site worker with a lot of stories.

Moreover, Jiang Daping's singing voice is really gentle. If he didn't know that the microphones and speakers at the scene hadn't been tampered with, Li Tao would definitely think that it was the voice-changing software installed.At this moment, he felt that his worldview was about to collapse.Looking at Jiang Daping's face and listening to Jiang Daping's singing, if all this hadn't happened in front of his eyes, he wouldn't have thought that this was a person if he was killed.

Soon, a song is over.

"How?" Wang Xuan asked Li Tao and Guo Hong.

"It does feel a little different." Li Tao said.

"His singing voice is really recognizable. It belongs to the kind that can be remembered after listening to it once. Especially with his appearance, the contrast between appearance and voice makes it easier for people to remember him." Guo Hong said.

"Yes, this is what I mean by voice recognition. This is the selection criteria for our program. Don't look at the appearance, don't look at the background, just look at the voice." Wang Xuan said.

"But the question, didn't you say that this show is also selecting artists for our Tianhai? If this person reaches the end, you won't really sign a contract with him, right?" Li Tao said.

"If he can make it to the end, he must be liked and supported by countless audiences. Why not? Anyway, choosing an artist is choosing an artist. For this show, the first thing to focus on is the effect of the show." Wang Xuan said.

The discussion between Wang Xuan and Li Tao was very quiet.

On the other side, Jiang Daping put down the microphone and saw Wang Xuan and Li Tao discussing for a long time, so he couldn't help but say, "Teacher Wang Xuan, it's okay if it doesn't work, I just have a try."
