There are a total of 35 contestants in the first qualifying competition of the Beijing subdivision of "Singing China".
Lu Chen's number is 0030, and Mu Xiaochu is still behind him, which is 0032.
The person on the stage at this moment is contestant No. 0017.
So there was still plenty of time, so he opened the case and took out the guitar again.
Lu Chen plucked the steel strings with great skill and played "Sweet Memories" to accompany Mu Xiaochu.
The melody of this famous sweet song is very simple and does not require the use of any complicated fingering. It is an entry-level piece for guitar playing. Although Lu Chen has not played it many times, he can still play it easily.
He even added a little twist to it.
At the beginning, Mu Xiaochu was shy, with a hint of uneasiness in her expression. However, with the encouragement of Lu Chen's smile, she accurately kept up with the rhythm and sang her own voice.
"I will accompany you through the most beautiful coastline..."
"The feeling of happiness, never leaving, sharing the same world together..."
"That sweet memory stays in my heart..."
"La~ la la~ la..."
Mu Xiaochu's voice is very beautiful, sweet and moist. When you listen to it, it seems to penetrate into your soul. It is like drinking honey water, sweet and cool, and you will indulge in it unconsciously.
Naturally, many contestants and family members gathered around her. Everyone politely remained silent and listened to her singing quietly, with smiles on everyone's faces.
People with beautiful voices and beautiful voices are always pleasing to the eye.
A staff member on site quietly turned down the volume of the wall-mounted TV.
Mu Xiaochu, who was surrounded by people, was obviously a little nervous, but she quickly adapted and sang the whole song!
"La la la~ This is our sweet memory!"
There is a break at the end of the song, and the lingering sound lingers, as if it is still in my heart, enough to reflect on it for a long time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The applause rang out, although it was not that enthusiastic, but it was full of sincere love.
Mu Xiaochu blushed in embarrassment and bowed to the onlookers to thank him: "Thank you..."
"Xiaochu..."
Two classmates and best friends hugged her from left to right and said with a smile: "You are the best!"
Mu Xiaochu struggled to break away from the embrace of the two. She looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes and said, "Senior, please come and sing a song for us, okay?"
Everyone's attention was immediately focused on Lu Chen.
Among all the 35 contestants, Lu Chen is undoubtedly the most outstanding in terms of appearance alone.
He is tall, young and handsome, with a sunny smile like a boy next door. He is exactly the type that the public likes.
Let’s talk about talent. Lu Chen’s finger-playing skills just now were excellent, and he undoubtedly knows music.
Therefore, everyone wants to hear how he sings. After all, "Singing China" is a singer audition.
There is no limit on the number of places to advance in the qualifying round. The contestants currently present cannot be said to be real competitors, but those singers with strength and ideas will still pay attention to the strong opponents they think in advance.
Lu Chen is a powerful enemy!
So does he have any weaknesses? For example, his singing is flat or his voice is average?
"Okay, okay!"
The two unrelated people first clapped their hands and applauded, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Lu Chen laughed dumbly, thought for a moment and said, "Then let me sing a show of shame. Since the junior high school girl is singing Filia Chen's song, I'll sing Tan Hong's song."
Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly - Tan Hong and Filia Chen.
Lu Chen readjusted his sitting position, held the guitar and started playing.
"Flying dove!"
I just played a short prelude, and someone immediately recognized that it was Tan Hong's famous composition, a classic among folk songs.
"On a rainy day, I walked on a deserted street..."
"Looking at the flowers, they are blooming and declining..."
"I stand in front of you, dreaming of becoming a dove flying in the blue sky..."
"La la ah ~ flying dove!"
This song has been played and sung by Lu Chen countless times. It is his repertoire in the Forgettable Bar. Even though he has not practiced it for a while, the rendition is still perfect now. His fingering, singing skills, and emotion are all impeccable!
Regardless of the level of the players present, they all have basic musical judgment.
As they listened, their eyes and even their faces changed.
Some admire, some are surprised, some are envious, and some are wary!
After Lu Chen finished singing, Mu Xiaochu was the first to clapped his hands, and he clapped his hands so hard that his palms turned red.
The applause from others followed.
Lu Chen bowed and smiled: "Thank you! Tan Hong, flying dove."
There was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
This song once carried Lu Chen’s original dream, but now that it’s being played and sung here, how can I not feel it?
Someone asked: "Lu Chen, is this the song you prepared?"
All people backstage, including family, friends, and staff, all wear ID badges, and their names can be identified at a glance.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, I prepared another original piece of my own."
It's just a qualifying round, there's no need to be secretive, it won't be long before everyone can hear it anyway.
Your own original work?
He is really confident - a lot of people think so.
In the eyes of most people, Lu Chen's song "Flying Pigeon" is enough to win the semi-finals pass. He actually brought his own original work to the stage. It was so full!
What original work can compare with Tan Hong's "Flying Pigeon"? It happens that Tan Hong is the judge, and Lu Chen sings brilliantly. If he gets the guidance of this superstar, he will be able to steal the show!
Playing and singing original works can also make you stand out, but if the quality of your works is not good, it will be self-defeating.
Similar situations have occurred in previous drafts. Some players thought too highly of themselves and insisted on using original works to express themselves. As a result, they died in an ugly way.
"Singing China" is not "The Strongest Singer-Composer"!
Many people felt that Lu Chen had gone to the wrong set. They were surprised and their expressions became strange.
Of course there are those who secretly complain.
Lu Chen saw their expressions in his eyes, but he didn't care because the facts would prove everything.
Mu Xiaochu was innocent and supported: "Senior Lu Chen, you will definitely get the pass!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's work hard together."
"Contestant No. 0021, please follow me!"
At this moment, an on-site staff member appeared in the background and said loudly: "Get ready for No. 0022!"
The onlookers dispersed one after another, and the game was still going on!
Mu Xiaochu and her classmates also returned to their seats and did not peek at Lu Chen again.
Time passed minute by minute.
For many people, waiting is a torture, while for others, time passes too quickly.
0022, 0023, 0024... Contestants came on and came back one after another. Some of them successfully passed the judges' assessment and happily received exquisite semi-final passes, while others were ruthlessly eliminated.
Leaving crying.
There are fewer and fewer people in the Beijing Satellite TV studio hall.
Just after 8 o'clock, player No. 0029 came on the stage.
Lu Chen, No. 0030, who was at the back, also appeared in the waiting area near the stage.
Contestant No. 0029 is the unshaven middle-aged man who was sitting on Lu Chen's right. Judging from his appearance, he should be a street performer or a Beijing-based singer. His name is Gao Feng.
Standing on the stage, Gao Feng briefly introduced himself. He is from Heijiang in Northeast China, and he is indeed a Beijing graduate.
Tan Hong said: "You can start, I wish you success!"
Gao Feng nodded and said, "Thank you."
He turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the sound pipe guarding the sidelines.
The accompaniment music started immediately.
However, the extremely familiar melody suddenly shocked Lu Chen who was standing in the waiting area!
"I still remember the spring many years ago...
"At that time, I hadn't cut off my long hair, I didn't have a credit card or her, and I didn't have a home with 24-hour hot water."
"But I was so happy back then, even though I only had a broken acoustic guitar..."
What Gao Feng sang was surprisingly "In Spring"!
