"Assemble!"

"Should we start?"

"It's finally time to meet the mentors."

"Do you know who this instructor is?"

"I don't know, but I heard they are all big guys."

"I have some gossip. It is said that there is a giant among giants here."

"That certainly sounds very old."

……………………

In the corridor, the players were walking and chatting. Everyone was feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

On the one hand, I am about to meet my mentor, and the program will start recording later, so I am a little concerned about gains and losses.

On the other hand, after a brief exchange with everyone, as we are both music creators and we are so young, some of us are somewhat competitive in our hearts.

Many people can't wait to show their works to other players. They want to be recognized and praised by people.

Of course, the program team will definitely give them a chance to show off, but they have to follow the process one by one.

Under the leadership of real staff, the players came to a grassy area to the west of Cross-Century Village.

There are not many decorations or props here, only three chairs and a table, which are obviously reserved for the instructors, while the players sit directly on the floor.

"Welcome everyone to the Cross-Century Village, where you will begin a three-month competition and study. After three months, only five of you will stay on this final stage.

At that time, not only will you receive generous creative funds provided by the program team, but there will also be special rewards waiting for you. "

The commentary of the competition system came from the broadcast overhead. When the players heard this, they became slightly nervous.

There are only 5 out of 43 people. The competition is not as fierce as usual.

Just when everyone was discussing with each other what the specific competition system would be like, the broadcast sounded again: "Next, please welcome our three creative mentors to the stage."

Before you finished speaking, three mentors, two women and one man, walked out from behind the billboard not far away.

After seeing who the instructor was, the players were dumbfounded.

"It's Xu Shan. All my classmates love to listen to his songs!"

"Is this the first time Xu Shan has appeared on a variety show in more than ten years since his debut?"

"That's outrageous. Even Luo Quan was invited."

"He is indeed a giant among giants."

"Welcome the fifteen-time Grammy winner - my idol!"

"Yang Li is also a top-level singer, a queen-level singer!"

"Are you so generous this time? I'm so awesome."

………………

The appearance of the three mentors immediately aroused the emotions of the players.

It is no exaggeration to say that many of the contestants grew up listening to the songs of several mentors.

Although Luo Quan is young, her songs are definitely the ones that have been played the most in the past two years!

Each of these three is a well-known, even household name, top singer in the Chinese music scene, and they all have equal strength and fame.

"Good afternoon everyone." Luo Quan was wearing a white T-shirt and sky blue jeans today, looking fresh and beautiful. As the chief instructor, she was naturally the one to host the show.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately received a neat and loud response from the contestants: "Good afternoon, instructor!"

"From today on, the three of us will become your mentors. During the next period of time, we will grade your works. At the same time, if you encounter any problems or are confused in your creation or life, you can Ask us questions.”

Although he is the same age as the players in front of him, Luo Quan has experienced so much in the past two years, and the confident and leisurely temperament when he speaks makes the players very convinced.

"Before the game officially starts, we have to conduct a small ceremony." After Luo Quan finished speaking, he took a step back and handed the camera to Xu Shan.

After all, with three mentors, she definitely couldn't take up all the roles.

When it was Xu Shan's turn, he got a piece of tape from the staff, raised it and said to the contestants: "There will be a total of ten episodes of our program. In each episode, a popular song will be selected based on voting and included in the program." The original soundtrack of our program.

After the show ends, the album will be released in the form of an album. At the same time, our three mentors will each produce a song to add to it and release it at different times of the show. "

Then, Yang Li took over and continued: "So, everyone must rest and work hard from now on, because it is a soundtrack album, and your performance on stage is the song to be recorded, so give it your best performance."

The scene has always been a long-standing problem that troubles singer-songwriters.

These contestants in front of me are all very young, and it’s hard to say what level their singing skills will reach.

However, at least when the camera was shown to the contestants, no one showed a bitter look on their face, and they all seemed to be confident.

After talking about the original soundtrack, Yang Li took out another bottle, and the staff came up to distribute paper and pens to the contestants.

"Now, please write down your hopes on the road of music. What do you think about the future? You can write down whatever you want."

People always have a wish, and it doesn't matter if it is unrealistic, even if it is whimsical, because what if it really comes true one day?

In short, all the players’ ideas are wild and unconstrained.

Some want to be like Luo Quan and win fifteen Grammy trophies.

Some want to become world-famous singers.

Some want to form a band so that young people across the country can be inspired to play music together.

……………………

Dreams sound so beautiful.

But soon, reality will have to be faced.

After the outdoor activities, everyone moved to the indoor stage in the north of the village, where most of the competitions in the show will be held.

There are a large number of LED screens on the stage. You can predict what a gorgeous stage effect will be when they light up later.

The contestants and instructors sat in their respective seats, and soon a group of public judges came in outside the room. Half of them were up owners from Bilibili's music area and had some musical literacy, while the other half were just young passers-by. , I was invited here purely out of interest.

On the instructor's side, two people also came.

One is Luo Quan's senior sister and old acquaintance at Shangyi - Kong Yue. The two have not seen each other for a long time since the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala last year.

The other one is Jing Liang, a well-known music producer in China. He is the oldest of all the instructors present and the one who has been in the industry for the longest time.

Of course, because he has been working behind the scenes, he may not be as famous as other mentors, but the players basically recognize him.

Before the start of the game, the program team read out the rules. The contestants performed on the stage by pressing the answering machine in their hands, and the one who performed first could choose another contestant to compete against each other.

After the two people perform, the instructor and the public judges will give scores, and then the scores pre-predicted by the off-site music judging panel will be accumulated. The person with the highest score will enter side A, and the person with the lowest score will enter side B.

The format is very simple, but for the person who takes the stage first, choosing an opponent is a technical job.

Because if you don’t choose well, it’s easy to choose yourself on side B.

But now everyone is not showing off, so everyone is very confident until the first contestant comes on stage.

I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the program team. Hao Shuai, who had always had many pictures before, actually took the lead this time and was the first to perform on stage.

His music critic score is 45, out of 60, ranking seventh among the players.

A pretty good ranking, and he has been studying music for six years, and he also worked as a bartender and formed a band.

"You're not that old, but you have a rich resume." Xu Shan gave a small compliment.

Hao Shuai nodded and thanked him. He was cheerful and talkative off the court, but became much quieter after taking the stage.

The performance started with the song title "Sleepless Tonight".

Hao Shuai was holding a cool-looking electric guitar in his hand, but the music played seemed so gentle, and the singing sounded like a mother's whisper when coaxing her baby to sleep.

In the first half of the song, the melody is gentle and pleasant, and Hao Shuai's performance is also quite stable.

But this level obviously cannot meet the expectations of the instructors.

Luo Quan always felt that Hao Shuai's strength should not be this high, and there should be more surprises!

Sure enough, as soon as the second part of the song started, the surprise came.

The lyrics are still the same as before, but the singing style has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The soft pop voice immediately turned into a hoarse and metallic rock voice. The texture of this voice is even better than that of Akatsuki Kumoi.

In other words, this is a rock genius who is even better than Akatsuki Kumoi!

As soon as the rock voice came out, the sound of the electric guitar immediately started to explode, and the style changed in just an instant.

If the front part is gentle, then the back part can only be described as brutal. Not only is it cool and exciting, but the volume of the singing is also ridiculously high.

Rock music must be exciting, and after injecting real feelings, the scene will become a little exaggerated or noisy.

And Hao Shuai's singing style undoubtedly brings the passion of rock music to the extreme. The singing is not only skillful, but also full of emotion.

At the end of the song, he used his real voice to continuously increase 9 keys, clearly speaking the words and hitting the A5, which really shocked all the players and instructors.

This vocal range is rare in the world, let alone in China.

There were a hundred people present, and the two most talented singers were Luo Quan and Kong Yue.

The former is a talented singer who sings "Phantom of the Opera" and sings the e6 long vibrato. He is jokingly called a human whistle by foreign netizens.

The latter is a judge of the Youth Singing Competition, the first person of the young generation in national singing, and is also among the best in the national team.

Even these two industry giants were shocked after hearing Hao Shuai's performance, which shows how outrageous his functions and singing skills are.

After the performance, Luo Quan, who was prompted by the system, spoke first: "Hao Shuai, aren't you afraid of hurting your throat when you use your real voice?"

"Um...it's okay. It can actually be higher, but if you blindly pursue the higher level, it may affect the listening experience. In fact, my vocal range is quite good." Hao Shuai smiled, and his voice did not change too much due to singing. big change.

Luo Quan nodded: "I heard it, the quality from low to high sounds is very good.

But this is the stage for creators, and everything must be based on the quality of the songs.

Your song is very good, the melody and accompaniment are very mature, but the lyrics need to be polished.

If you sing rock music, it's not a good thing to be too negative. Only by maintaining passion and hope can you bloom with surging vitality in rock music.

Even for those who sing death metal, the lyrics are still full of rebellion and criticism. To put it simply, you have to say something meaningful and reasonable, but your lyrics are a little bit empty. "

As a mentor, Luo Quan will not ignore the shortcomings of a singer because of his excellent aspects. She will directly tell him where there is room for improvement.

Maybe she hurt the player because her statement was too direct, but she couldn't pretend to be dumb. It was better to speak out now than to let him suffer later.

After hearing Luo Quan's comments, Hao Shuai was generally more happy than worried. At least there were no major problems with his song, and his live performance was also very well done this time, with almost no flaws.

Now, it's his turn to choose his opponent.

Looking up, many players showed smiles that were uglier than crying. They were obviously shocked by his strength and did not want to compete with him.

Hao Shuai did not torture them, and quickly selected the one who had studied the longest, a powerful creator with eight years of experience.

This fat girl named Jin Ya also has a two-year career as a professional producer. She has sung promotional songs for some well-known games. Music critics gave her a score of 51, ranking fifth.

And the quality of the songs she brought is indeed quite good.

Of course, this is based on ordinary people's standards.

The melody is not particularly catchy, but the production, memorability, and singing skills are all excellent and mature, making it a song above the standard.

But in Luo Quan's opinion, this is just an ordinary European and American assembly line love song.

It's not a typical representative of good or bad, but in China's general environment, it is a good song above excellent. If it is released immediately, it is likely to be popular for a while.

But from a visual point of view, this song is far inferior to Hao Shuai's songs, and the lyrics are even more meaningless than Hao Shuai's.

However, the Dianping team was already excited and followed Jin Ya and the lights at the scene.

At the end of the song, Jin Ya was breathing heavily after singing and dancing. Her instructor Xu Shan gave some encouraging comments, while her instructor Yang Li asked her to strengthen the production of melody and lyrics.

In short, this evaluation has euphemistically expressed that she is not as good as Hao Shuai.

Judging from the expressions on everyone's table, the evaluation of the instructor is also

However, when the final score of the two came out, it surprised everyone.

Hao Shuai: The music critic scored 45 (out of 60), the instructor scored 26 (out of 30), and the public scored 97 (out of 150), totaling 168.

Jinya's scores were 51, 18, and 130 respectively, totaling 199.

Jinya won by a huge margin!
