Chapter 567 The Hope of the Chinese Music Scene
(ps. Reminder! This chapter is the plot of a variety show)

"Zhushu said, this is what we like to see."
"LSP is old, GHS is the primary productive force."
"If Luo Quan can take more swimsuit photos, your popularity will probably rise several more levels!"
"Indeed, Europe and the United States are still very open. If you have a figure, you should show it off. (dog head)"
……………………
"Haha, what you all think about is quite beautiful." Luo Quan said lightly, saying that you don't even want to think about this kind of thing.
"But while I'm young and in my prime, I can take a few more photos and record them." Luo Quan thought for a while, but didn't completely deny the fans' views, "When I get old and lose my lust, if I was still live broadcasting at that time , it is estimated that the audience has changed one after another.
When the time comes, when I take out the photos of my youth, I will probably fascinate these young people, right? "
"Before this, I was head over heels."
"By then, I'll probably have evolved from a fat housewife to a salty uncle."
"But the second dimension will always be the second dimension."
"Is there really going to be a day when old age and sex fade?"
"Time never defeats beauty. I believe Luo Quan's beauty will never fade."
"Suddenly I felt a little sad."
……………………
Seeing the barrage and feeling emotional, Luo Quan knew that her words made them a little sad. She didn't like this atmosphere, so she quickly ended the topic.
"Let's stop talking about getting older. Everyone is calling me to hold a concert, but I still don't have the conditions to do it in a short time. I'll make up for it by singing some children's songs for everyone tonight." Luo Quan said, He took out a microphone specially used for singing from the drawer and plugged it into the computer.
"How about singing all night?"
"Even so, you have to sing for at least three days in a row!"
"Seconded!"
……………………
People are always trying to make ends meet, and they will think twice about the next thing. But singing for three days in a row is definitely unbearable. The show will be recorded soon. What will you do if your voice becomes hoarse when you sing?
Therefore, Luo Quan could only pretend that he had not seen these programs.
A mini-concert began. Luo Quan sang nearly fourteen songs in one and a half hours, taking a break and drinking some water.
The use of this throat is better controlled, it is not too tiring, and it can also serve as some exercise.
Although it has been a while since she showed off her singing voice on stage, she has never stopped practicing and exercising her vocals. She would raise her voice every morning to keep her vocal cords in good condition.
This point is actually very important. After all, although her vocal talent is very good, she is still a body of flesh and blood, and it is easy for problems to occur if she does not pay attention to maintenance.
Even metals will have fatigue failures, let alone people?
There are too many singers at home and abroad who suffer from voice deafness in the late stages of their careers. This is because they used their instruments without scruple and without scientific care when they were young, relying on their capital. As a result, their voices are completely ruined as they grow older.
Several Japanese divas had more or less problems with their voices or hearing before they retired.
Luo Quan's voice maintenance is pretty good at present, but that's only on the premise that she hasn't had a concert yet.
Most of her songs are high-pitched and difficult songs that show off her skills. Ordinary people would be out of breath when singing one song. If she held a concert, even if she could sing it perfectly, her vocal cords would definitely be hoarse the next day.
I went to Station B to attend a New Year's Eve concert before, which is a living example. The atmosphere was so exciting that I danced and sang for two hours, and ended up losing my voice the next day.
This is also the reason why she has never wanted to hold a concert. It's partly because of laziness, but also partly because of protecting her voice.
When there is a concert, there will always be a second one. For an international star like her, it doesn’t make sense not to hold a world tour, right?
When the time comes to sing in one round, the consumption will probably be very large.
Therefore, when the fans' wishes were not particularly strong, she would of course put it off as long as she could. After all, she now had a valid reason for rejection - preparing for the exam for her junior year.
And now, after recording the first episode of station B's variety show, she has to go back to Dongda University and start reading books...
A farmhouse on the outskirts of Shanghai. This beautiful venue was given to Station B for the production of a variety show.
The name of the program is "New Generation of Music", and the farmhouse has also been renamed "Cross-Century Village".
It is said that this name was given by the tutor Luo Quan, which means that he hopes that the villagers who come to this village can lead the Chinese music scene across the new century in the future.
This century is not the A.D. in the conventional sense, but a new century in the Chinese music scene. It can also be understood as a new chapter.
Musicians in the industry know the current situation of the Chinese music scene all too well. It’s hard to comment on how bad it is, because if we were to comment on it, it would all be full of swear words and would not pass the test.
But today, there is a new blood coming to the "Cross-Century Village". Perhaps in the near future, they will change the current situation of the Chinese music scene.
As a mentor, Luo Quan had already arrived at the village ahead of the students, and had already met the other two mentors.
In addition to her, the program team also invited two mentors, a male and a female.
The man's name is Xu Shan. He is in his thirties and is the king of love songs in the Mainland. Before Luo Quan appeared, he was the best-selling album in China and had the highest song flow. The quality of his music was also quite good.
Interestingly, Xu Shan had already had some interactions with Luo Quan when he met him, and they had just recently.
When Yang Quan Zhihu scolded Xu Shan, it was Luo Quan who spoke up for him and resolved the situation.
However, Xu Shan seemed to have no Weibo and did not respond in any way. However, after meeting Luo Quan, he specifically mentioned this matter and expressed his gratitude.
As for the other female singer, she is a Chinese from Southeast Asia named Yang Li. She is the number one female singer-songwriter in Southeast Asia. She has won numerous awards and is very strong in Chinese music.
The three mentors have reputation, strength and popularity in the music industry, and their gold content can be said to be quite high.
In addition, the program team also arranged an off-site music judging panel of 20 people, all of whom are industry leaders, to evaluate the contestants' music off-site.
However, since he was not on the show, the introduction time was relatively short, and Luo Quan only glanced at him.
After meeting and communicating with the two mentors for a while, Luo Quan turned his attention to the players who were about to appear.
A few days ago, she had received an email from Station B.
Inside is a song demo (ps. also called a demo, which means an incomplete version of a song) of the participating singers.
There were more than 500 singer-songwriters participating in the national competition this time, but after layers of screening, only 43 people were left, three of whom were duos, which means a total of 40 places.
These forty places will compete for three months in the Cross-Century Village. In addition to displaying previously created works, they also have to improvise based on the topics provided by the instructor in the Cross-Century Village.
All works will be sung on the stage. The instructor, off-site music judges, and the public music judges invited by Station B will all give scores. Based on everyone's score, it will be decided who can stay or leave.
In terms of rules, they are pretty much the same as other talent shows, but this stage depends more on the strength of the contestants. As long as the songs are well written and sung well, the scores will never be much different.
Luo Quan got these demos, but as a tutor, she did not have the right to give scores in advance. That was the job of the off-site music review team. She could only give scores and comments after the show officially started and the contestants officially performed.
But she couldn't help but listen to these demos. After listening to them, she could say that she had a refreshing feeling.
There are quite a few excellent songs here. Even just listening to the intro can arouse people's desire to listen to it. They are fundamentally different from the songs on the market that come off the assembly line.
She seems to have really seen the hope of the Chinese music scene. It seems that Station B has really made great efforts to find so many talented singer-songwriters this time.
Seeing the gate of Century Village open on the screen, Luo Quan knew that the contestants had arrived one after another.
This place is not close to the city. Some players come here by taxi, some are delivered by their parents in person, and some take buses.
Almost everyone is carrying a large or small bag on their back. As a musician, the instrument cannot be left behind, so in addition to a change of clothes, almost everyone is also carrying an instrument that they have handy.
Of course, not everyone carried so many things. Some players only carried a backpack, seemingly without any instruments.
Luo Quan guessed that these contestants were probably engaged in rap, and as long as they had a mouth, other instruments were not important.
The contestants are all young and young, the oldest seems to be in his early twenties, and the younger ones are probably not yet adults. They are all very young, about the same age as Luo Quan.
But according to the director, many of the contestants participating in the show this time have studied music for more than seven years, and many of them are geniuses described by their neighbors.
At this time, I don’t know who said: “The greatest genius is sitting at our tutor’s table.”
Everyone laughed.
Luo Quan also laughed, but she hoped to see more talents in the contestants' seats. Mentors are not the focus of this show.
The scene returned to the village. After the players entered the village, they found the location of the dormitory under the leadership of a player pretending to be a staff member.
It can be seen that this player named Hao Shuai is very outgoing and cheerful, and is extremely talkative. He can establish relationships with the players with just a few words. He is a typical social badass.
To be honest, social fear has always been a label for young people in the new era, and everyone seems to be bad at communicating with others.
When you arrive in a new environment and meet some new people, you will always get along with each other indifferently for a period of time. It is not until one of them takes the initiative to speak that the ice is broken.
Whether it is a roommate or a classmate, the same situation applies to people in society. They seem to be very afraid of being noticed and very afraid of communicating with others.
But you can chat with people online about everything, which is very puzzling.
For singers, it doesn't really matter whether they are feared by the community or not. Like Luo Quan, if he doesn't hold concerts or appear on shows, he can still be popular as long as he can keep producing good works.
After all, there will only be you in the studio, so you don’t have to worry about anything else.
However, for a variety show, being able to speak well without stage fright is definitely a plus. This means that there will be more cameras and the audience will see him more frequently.
Regarding the competition for resources, it actually starts from the moment everyone enters the village. However, there are not many players who really grasp this point, and Hao Shuai is one of them.
However, the instructors will not give him more points because he can speak well. Whether he can stay forever depends on his strength.
However, with Hao Shuai's help, the staff saved a lot of work. Many contestants were timid and didn't know where to go after entering the village. It was Hao Shuai who found the dormitory with a few singers who arrived first.
After the boys put away their luggage, they ran to the entrance of the village to greet the girls.
There are slightly more girls among the contestants this time.
There are 25 girls in total among the 43 people. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are actually quite "burly". However, the program team does not have any requirements on appearance and body type. If you write good songs, you can advance.
Speaking of which, those sopranos with good singing skills and some popular songs in the world are generally fatter.
On the one hand, this body type has better physical strength, and on the other hand, it also helps with singing, so many fat female singers are surprisingly strong in singing.
Thin and powerful people like Luo Quan are actually in the minority.
Therefore, in this kind of music program, a female contestant with this kind of figure is almost synonymous with a master, and her whole face is full of unfathomable.
Luo Quan took a look at the female contestants who entered the village later. There were many beautiful and delicate girls, but he didn't see any truly good-looking beauties.
The situation was different from the previous male players. Luo Quan saw several handsome boys among the male players.
Is it impossible to have both strength and appearance?
This won't stop her. Not to mention herself, the other female instructor Yang Li is also a pretty beauty. Is it because these contestants are young and haven't grown up yet?
This is probably the only possibility. She doesn't care about appearance. She is afraid that fans will make wrong choices because of the player's appearance.
In today's society where faces are judged, there are many people who are obsessed with appearance. Judging people based on their appearance often happens. She doesn't want to see people judging people based on their appearance on this stage. That would be too unfair to other creators.
With this in mind, Luo Quan and his two mentors came to an open space in the village to prepare for the stage.
All the contestants have now entered the village. Some have gone to the practice room or music room to play. The rest are either chatting in the corridor or staying in isolation in their rooms.
At this moment, an announcement came from the village radio, causing everyone to raise their heads.
