Riding the wind of rebirth

The style of a small county town is known to the whole city if there is a little trouble, not to mention such a big fanfare now.

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

The next morning, during the break of the second class, Guan Tingting’s sweet voice sounded from the school radio station’s loudspeaker: “Good news, good news! Dear students, the county is organizing a karaoke competition. They are also actively participating, especially in the pop song part, the students have a huge advantage."

"In order to make it easier for students to sign up for the competition, through operation, our school's radio station has undertaken the task of counting the glorious Jiachuan Middle School students' registration. Now students only need to come to our radio station during class breaks to sign up very conveniently."

"Students who sign up for the competition, if they get the relevant rankings in the county, the school will also issue encouragement and rewards. I hope that the students will live up to their youth, sing loudly, participate enthusiastically, show their demeanor, and strive for good results!"

Zhou Zhi's voice sounded: "Everyone can come to the radio station to check the candidate repertoires for the competition. The organizer requires each participant to prepare two songs, but that is only the requirement for the preliminary competition. Personally, it is recommended to prepare three to five songs. Sign up There are still two days left, everyone hurry up."

"Now I will play a song recorded with the equipment used in this competition, which is "My Motherland" sung by Guan Tingting from our school."

"Any student who is willing to keep the recordings of their participating songs only needs to pay a fee of ten yuan, and they can get a box of tapes of the songs sung in this competition as a souvenir."

"This is the benefit that the school has won for the students. Next, please listen to the recording effect."

After the prelude to the melodious music, Guan Tingting's sweet singing sounded on the radio: "A big river—wide waves—wind blowing rice flowers—scented banks..."

Guan Tingting turned off the microphone, closed her eyes intoxicated, and listened to her singing: "Wow, I sing really well..."

To be honest, Guan Tingting Versailles really cannot be blamed for this, and it was indeed the first time she heard her own singing "real".

Singing alone, if you don’t use equipment, most of the singing you hear is transmitted to your ears through the organs in your body, so it is actually different from what outsiders hear.

Only through listening to the ear, or recording and playing, can you really know what your singing looks like to others.

Of course, karaoke can also perform some of these functions, because the singing voice outside the body is amplified many times, and when it is heard by the singer again, it has been amplified many times by the power amplifier equipment, which completely overwhelms the internal transmission.

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

"Tingting, you need to learn how to DJ quickly." Zhou Zhi said, "After the karaoke hall is built, and there are no customers on weekend mornings, you can practice singing."

"Yes." Guan Tingting obviously understood the importance of this equipment for her singing skills, and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you brother elbow."

"Thank me for what? You have to thank Brother Dayong, when the time comes, people will be more diligent and sweet-mouthed. If there is anything in the hall that needs help, just give a hand."

"My mother secretly told me that Brother Dayong can't handle such a big mess, and you are an expert in doing this."

"Uh... this..." Before Zhou Zhi could figure out how to explain, someone had already poked his head at the door: "Is this classmate okay?"

"Brother Elbow, may I sign up now?" The one with the probe was a boy with long hair.

When Zhou Zhi was the host of the New Year's Festival last year, he also worked as an "art director assistant" by the way. He is familiar with the backbone of the arts on campus. This guy once played a guzheng and violin with Su Meng at the festival. Ensemble: "Xu Jingfei! It's okay to come and see the playlist."

Xu Jingfei looked at the playlist book: "Wow, there are so many songs? Is there Leslie Cheung's?"

"Look at the letters on the header, they are arranged according to the initials of the singers' surnames, Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung are behind."

"I'll sing "The Wind Continues to Blow", and... "The Unruly Wind"." Xu Jingfei was talking, but his eyes glanced at Guan Tingting: "Tingting, you sing really well, you want to report to the nation ?"

"My ethnicity is popular!" Guan Tingting, who is also a junior high school art backbone, also knows him: "Aside from playing the violin, you can also sing?"

"Sing nonsense, I will sing nonsense... What do the letters and numbers at the end of this song mean?"

"That's the disc number and the order of the tracks. This will make it easier for the DJ to quickly find the disc where the song is located. If it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh, by the way...who will pay for the tape?"

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

Xu Jingfei was just an activist, and soon, more people came to sign up for consultation.

They are all at the age of being playful and novelty, and after three days of statistics, there are more than 100 contestants, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of students in the school!

And the number of applicants in the whole county was as high as more than 800!
This time it became lively, and on the weekend after a week, the preliminary competition officially started.

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

And outside the stage and the iron fence, there are crowds of spectators crowded with people.

The participating singers lined up in the aisle of China Merchants City, and it was impossible to sing all the songs. Each person gave 4 minutes to perform, and the judges began to score.

Zhou Zhi was the only one who could operate the equipment proficiently, and the decoration project party B who was brought in by Zhou Zhi to accompany him, the sound engineer of Wuse Audio Equipment Co., Ltd.—Shouhou Li Jia.

This is still a very intense process, with more than 800 people taking 4 minutes each, not counting the time for getting on and off the stage and scoring, it will take more than 50 hours, and it will take six or seven days for eight hours a day.

Although divided into three groups, there were basically no one in the bel canto group, one-third in the ethnic group, and the rest were squeezed into the popular group.

In order to save time, the godfather decides to do it in groups. The bel canto and the ethnic group will hold preliminary competitions in the cultural center and the Sichuan Opera Troupe respectively.

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

There is no way to do this, otherwise with so many people, it will take seven days for the preliminary competition alone.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhi has inherited the good habits left by later generations working in large units for the playback equipment, that is, the LD player. The key equipment must be backed up by two machines.

The bel canto contestants are really not flattering, and the schools, enterprises and institutions in Jiachuan, as well as the township people's talent pool are too small, and what they get in the end is also a crooked melon.

In the end, everyone brainstormed and had to combine the bel canto and ethnic singing styles, and expand the number of No.2 and No.3 in the "ethnic bel canto class" to three and five respectively.
