Chapter 215 Student Avril Linkin Park
The overwhelming advertisements attracted countless men and women who love singing. This is not a Canadian who likes stars and skeletons, his eyes often painted with smoky makeup, and his 15-year-old tomboy who is passionate about tie and loose pants and follows his mother while shopping in Times Square in New York, and he sees the promotional advertisement of "The Voice of America" scrolling on the skyscrapers, which can no longer be removed from his eyes.
"I want to sign up for the Voice."
"Avril, we will be back to Canada tomorrow, but we don't have time to participate."
"No, I won't go back, I'm going to sign up."
"Avril, are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious."
The tomboy's serious tone made her mother sigh helplessly. Her daughter has been unique since she was a child. How can she say that she doesn't look like a girl, rebellious, wild and unruly. She knew that if she didn't agree, the girl would probably disappear tomorrow morning.
Avril's mother was having a headache for her rebellious daughter when a bitter heavy metal rock band in California seemed to see hope after seeing the advertisement.
They said they were miserable because the band was formed in 1996 and now it has been three years. The heavy metal rock band has been renamed several times. It was originally called the Xero band, and later the band's lead singer, Chast Benington, joined and changed its name to the Hybrid Theory Band. Soon after they changed their name, they found that the band of the same name already existed, so the band changed its name to "Lincoln Park" again.
The new band name and the new lead singer joining did not bring good luck to the band. They held countless underground concerts but ended in failure. They were rejected dozens of times, and no record company was willing to sign them.
Hope fell from the sky, and they saw a glimmer of hope from "The Voice of America".
Like Lincoln Park, I wandered at the intersection of life, and I don’t know where I am going. There is also a rock band in Los Angeles. I saw the overwhelming publicity advertisement and thought that the opportunity had finally come.
There are five members of this band. When the band was founded in 1994, they were all high school students. They were lucky than Lincoln Park that they were signed by a record company and released an album. However, their luck has ended here. The album's reaction was mediocre. After the failure of the first album, the band began to bow for bread. In a few years, they have been warm-up guests, bar resident singing, commercial performance, and tour performance.jane" (a love song written for Jenny) was also quietly placed in the record store for more than a year and no one cared about it.
They also saw a glimmer of hope from "The Voice of America" and forgot to say that the band is called maroon5, and the Chinese translation is called Magic Red Band.
After talking about New York, California, and Los Angeles, we will take a look at San Diego, California, USA.
A street wandering artist was moved after seeing the promotional advertisement for the Voice of China and resolutely picked up his beloved guitar and ended his wandering career.
Don’t underestimate foreign street artists. Among them are extraordinary and outstanding artists. Jasonmarz (Jason Mayez) is a handsome 22-year-old street wanderer. He is a top student at the American Academy of Music and Drama. He is good at writing songs with guitar.
Jason Mayez has a nickname called "Male Witch". This nickname is not obtained by others, but his description of himself. Not many people will doubt this description. After all, for a boy who is used to playing guitar in a bar at night and singing with confusion and sad tones, the description of "Male Witch" is probably just right.
"Male Witch" Jason Mayez carries his beloved guitar. It's time to end his wandering career. The new music journey starts with the Voice of Good.
As the advertisement for "The Voice of America" is fully rolling out, many young people like Avril, Lincoln Park, Magic Red, and witches who have dreams of music and pursue their ideals have signed up for the Voice of America auditions.
The Voices column has set up registration points in eight major cities in the United States: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Houston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Boston. Audition points have been set up in the first four cities.
April 6, New York.
"The Voice" rented a four-star hotel in New York to hold its three-day auditions, and the auditions for the other three cities were also held on the same day.
Chen Lin and two newly appointed senior musicians from Star Media serve as judges for the New York auditions.
Chen Lin has experienced many auditions and served as a judge to select actors when filming TV series in China. This New York audition, he felt that there are really many American folk artists, and the overall level of the contestants is higher than that in China. This is not that he admires foreign countries and fascinates the foreign countries. In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon. The more developed the economy, the richer the culture of the folk is. It is a very simple truth. When material life is better, it will naturally pursue spiritual life. For example, as the old man and the old man started to dance to the square every night after a few years.
The audition process strictly follows the principle of the first element of "Good Voice". You can't do anything. As long as you have a good voice, ok, the judges will give it to yes. On the contrary, if you look like a flower and your voice is like a pig killing, you will be sorry to be eliminated.
Chen Lin felt bad luck and interviewed several contestants in succession. Other conditions were good, but the sound was not complete, especially a five-year-old boy who danced well in the street dance and imitated Mike's space walk. Unfortunately, the little boy's throat was hoarse because of a cold. Chen Lin couldn't bear to say no, and couldn't bear to say no to a five-year-old child.
Finally, after some inner struggle, he still raised no, but he thought of remedies and promised to give the little boy a signed photo of Mike, and had the opportunity to take him to meet his idol, and encouraged him to continue working hard not to give up his dreams and take good care of himself to participate in the next season of "The Voice".
After seeing off the little boy who burst into tears and laughed, a 15-year-old girl holding a casino guitar came in. As soon as the girl came in, she attracted Chen Lin's attention.
I saw her big bell-bottom pants, chains, and a good guy, with a skeleton and a dragon tattooed on her naked arms. If she hadn't had her dazzling blonde hair at first glance, she would have thought she was a boy.
In fact, the girl's non-mainstream outfit is not particularly strange. Several of the students interviewed in the previous interview were even more bizarre than her.
The reason why the little girl can attract attention quickly is that she has delicate facial features and beautiful appearance. It is difficult for a beautiful little girl to be attractive if she wears a strange outfit.
"Hello, judge, my name is Avril Lavini, Canadian, I am 15 years old and I like rock."
"Oh, your name is Avril, right? Canadians—cough—cough—cough——”
Chen Lin suddenly started coughing because at this time he finally remembered that the name Avril was very familiar. Avril, the rock queen who was popular all over the world, is also a Canadian. Could it be the little girl in front of him?
Chen Lin looked at the little girl's face carefully. Oh~~ It's impossible to judge from her appearance, because many foreigners look the same in Chen Lin's eyes, and they can't remember the faces of foreigners just like Chinese people.
At this time, Avril played the acoustic guitar and sang and performed a rock song.
The little girl's voice was very sweet, with a hint of wildness and unrulyness. Her performance won applause from three judges and more than 10 listeners next to her.
Chen Lin was surprised while applauding. He was able to confirm that 15-year-old Avril was the future rock queen.
"Avril, you are very talented and very good. The teacher gives you a pass card."
Chen Lin directly gave her a pass card, which means that Avril did not have to go through the second round of elimination and directly advanced to participate in the Voice program as a student. There are only three judges in the three constituent districts who directly promoted pass card.
Avril was surprised when she saw the judges' teacher giving her a pass. She quickly ran to the judges' seat. Seeing this, Chen Lin smiled slightly and stood up to give her a hug.
"Thank you, thank you, teacher!"
"Come on, the teacher is optimistic about you."
"Thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard."
Avril bowed to Chen Lin’s other two judges, and then ran out cheerfully. The little girl couldn’t wait to tell her mother about the joy.
After seeing Avril left, Chen Lin handed over her information to a female agent from Star Media next to her and told her to sign her today.
The female agent of Star Media is a senior agent brought by Yueya from China. After receiving the order from her boss, she did not dare to neglect and hurried out.
After Chen Lin finished the interview that afternoon, he rushed to the hotel to meet Avril and her mother, and signed an agency contract with 15-year-old Avril.
Also on this day, Lincoln Park, the Los Angeles constituency, also received a pass card from the judges.
As for the five young men of the Magic Red Band and the witch Jason Mayez, they all participated in the audition the next day, and they also won the pass card the next day.
Of course, Chen Lin also learned all this. Lincoln Park and the Magic Red Band are also well-known European and American singers in China.
Lincoln Park sang the theme song "" for the "Transformers" series that he never got tired of listening to.
The Magic Red Band also has many classic songs that are familiar to you. Among them, "er" is the most popular song in China and was covered by Shang Wenjie in "I Am a Singer".
