Chapter 58
After the contestants played around for a while, the staff asked everyone to return to their seats and sit down to prepare for the next recording.
The first recording session was announced the day before yesterday.
The contestants need to sing the songs voted for by netizens in the way selected for them.
However, the songs and singing styles voted by netizens for most of the contestants were too unique.
This time the production team was finally considerate and allowed each contestant to sing for only one minute.
However, the order in which the contestants appear is determined by a random draw by the program team.
Soon, the numbers representing the contestant numbers on the screen began to jump wildly, and then stopped at number 13.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the first lucky person.
A burst of whistles was immediately heard at the scene.
Because No. 13 is the acrobatic guy who was teased by everyone for the entire afternoon.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, the acrobat waved to everyone and walked confidently towards the blue ribbon hanging in the center of the stage.
For today's fun singing session, he really went all out and put on a special effects costume for the performance.
Su Xingyao watched the other person leave.
Before we could see what was happening, the acrobat had already flexibly hooked himself on the ribbon and completed several difficult twists and turns in succession.
Although he was an amateur, he performed the moves quite well. Later on, he even turned it into a performance and sang the song that his fans had voted for him.
With such intense exercise, the Acrobatic Brother’s singing was not very good.
But fortunately, the opponent’s main focus is on shining confidence.
It doesn't matter how you sing, as long as the performance is impressive enough.
So after the exaggerated opening by the acrobat brother, the following contestants gave it their all and the camera completed its own stage.
Because it was not a formal competition, the overall stage effects presented by everyone tended to be light-hearted and funny.
Su Xingyao was the seventeenth one drawn.
After he walked onto the stage with his own card, he followed the instructions of the director team and once again displayed the requests made by his fans in front of the camera.
False sound.
The contestants below saw his performance and screamed and cheered wildly.
"Ahhh fake voice!!! How can it be fake? Cat, do you want to sing some loli voice? I love it!"
"No loli, no loli, if a real man wants to pretend, he should pretend to be a queen!"
"Hahahahaha I'm different, cat, just sing in cat language, it will be twice as cute."
Everyone was making noises and joking, but the little bear on the stage was waving his hands and spinning around, making the "no" gesture crazily.
The cheerful melody of bgm soon sounded, and after it was finished, Su Xingyao officially spoke.
What echoed throughout the scene was the cold, mechanical voice that Su Xingyao usually spoke in.
After hearing this familiar voice, the contestants realized that Maomao did not turn off his voice changer this time!
Singing with this kind of androgynous voice that's somewhere between male and female is actually a bit strange.
But for some reason, when the person in the doll costume on the stage sang the song, coupled with this cute two-dimensional divine song, the overall feeling of cuteness was weirdly contrasting.
Although the styles seemed to be completely incompatible, the other party sang them in a way that made them fit together.
The contestants who discovered that it was actually possible to complete the "false sound" rule in this way directly gave Su Xingyao a 6.
"Cat, you know how to fake a voice!"
"Get a new way to use the voice changer~"
"But you know what, this voice changer goes really well with this song!"
Originally, the contestants thought that Su Xingyao had brought the song to life by using a voice changer.
What happened was that Su Xingyao on the stage suddenly turned off her voice changer during the interlude of the song.
Three seconds later, the song enters the second section.
Then, that mechanical, high-pitched voice suddenly turned into an extremely energetic and cute boy's voice!
The people twisting their bodies under the stage stopped moving and opened their eyes wide to confirm whether the person in front of them was the cat himself.
They had heard No. 78 perform several times.
But they are all extremely normal young voices.
This is probably the first time I’ve seen someone singing with such a cute and adorable voice!
This sound, coupled with the cute little bear and the kawaii style of the two-dimensional music, is extremely adorable!
The contestants who suddenly heard Su Xingyao change his voice and singing style cheered for him and sighed inwardly.
Maomao's ability and vocal range are far greater than anyone imagines.
One minute is a very short time. After Su Xingyao finished singing and returned to his seat, a swarm of people surrounded him.
"Cat, tell me the truth, how many Kawaii you ate when you got home~"
Little Bear glanced at the people around him innocently, and made a small move with his thumb on his index finger. "It's just... a few hundred million."
In less than two hours, all the contestants had performed the songs voted for by their fans.
No matter whether it was good or awkward, everyone had a great time after the performance.
However, before everyone could be happy for long, the speakers on the scene suddenly started playing the audio of the songs they had just sung.
Along with these audios, four things that looked a bit like dance machines appeared on the lift platform in the center of the stage.
Everyone fell silent instantly, their eyes fixed on these four machines.
Su Xingyao looked at the constantly changing animations and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The host appeared in the center of the stage holding a microphone.
"The audio of our 24 contestants singing just now has been imported into the automatic induction dance machine newly developed by a certain company. The machine has automatically generated dances for everyone."
"Next, please find your own song and dance to the movements in it."
"The machine will automatically give you a score~"
The host finally emphasized, "This score is very important to you, please take it seriously."
After listening to the host's introduction of the rules, everyone's eyes went dark.
"Isn't this a music show? We're even going to show off our dancing skills?"
"I knew there was some ulterior motive behind suddenly asking us to sing the song voted for by netizens!"
"The program team, you don't have to be so harsh in your advertising placement..."
"After finally finishing the song, we have to dance again... Who came up with this stupid idea?"
Hearing the contestant's question, the host smiled and looked towards Song Yingming, who was at the back of the stage.
After learning that the culprit was once again this trouble-making director, the contestant asked angrily.
"Director Song, is there really nothing in this world that you care about?"
Song Yingming raised his eyebrows, "For example?"
"For example, there is no seasoning packet when eating instant noodles."
Song Yingming, who had already eaten instant noodles without seasoning packets, shrugged and said, "I've already eaten it."
Contestants: …
No. 77 started to do it online: "Then there's no toilet paper..."
Song Yingming: ...
The next second, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and spread his hands to everyone.
"People who carry tissues with them when they go out are fearless~"
When Song Yingming shook his head proudly, Su Xingyao raised his hand and touched the top of the little bear's head.
"That Director Song... maybe... his hair will become balder and balder?"
The smile on Song Yingming's face froze instantly.
…
So cruel!
Although Su Xingyao touched Song Yingming's sore spot, the rules of the game could not be changed.
Soon four contestants were called up and performed gorilla boxing in public.
While the people under the stage were laughing wildly, they couldn't help but light a candle for themselves.
Who would have thought that they would have to be proficient in all kinds of skills to participate in a music variety show.
In the latest song selection session, if you don’t have three to five years of experience in video game arcades, you won’t be able to complete the task.
Su Xingyao was the seventeenth performer, so she was assigned to the fifth group.
He had never played this thing before, and he finally stepped onto the dance machine with extremely heavy steps.
Then he looked down and saw for the first time what the keys beneath his feet looked like.
However, before he had time to see and recognize the keys, the prelude of the song he had just sung sounded in his ears.
Su Xingyao quickly looked up, her eyes falling directly on the difficulty of the choreography given by the system.
Full stars.
…
What kind of hell level difficulty is this...
Su Xingyao confirmed again speechlessly.
Would this difficulty be too cruel for someone who can't dance?
Listening to the sounds coming from the machine, Su Xingyao couldn't calm down for a long time...
Why do I feel like a song that I sang perfectly now feels like a torture to me?
After a period of inner collapse, Su Xingyao still insisted on not giving up and kept dancing with the spirit that there was still a dream in sight.
As a result, when he raised his hands confidently and swung his legs gracefully, he was able to accurately follow every beat every time.
Su Xingyao stared at the screen full of miss and finally understood.
In this world, there are people who really have no talent for dancing at all.
Just like him.
After doing some bear punching at the air, Su Xingyao gradually began to regret it.
If he came wearing the sunset dog doll costume today, he could at least turn into a dog dancing machine...
If that were the case, he could even hum along to “Dog Street Dance~Dog Street Dance~”
Maybe even two beats.
The rhythm of the song stops at the second cute boy's voice.
After experiencing the longest minute of his life, Su Xingyao took a deep breath.
It's really killing me.
After the dance, the system asked the contestants to wait for a while.
Su Xingyao knew that the system would give them scores.
However, this score is only known to the contestants themselves and the program team and will not be announced to everyone.
After waiting for about twenty seconds, the system finally gave a judgment.
17 points.
Seeing this number, Su Xingyao felt a little surprised.
It’s not zero?
After coming down from the stage with 17 points, Su Xingyao didn't have the courage to ask everyone how she danced.
Instead, the rapper patted him on the shoulder earnestly and said something very insightful.
"Cat...Now I believe that God is fair..."
Su Xingyao, who was touched by Minghan: …
After everyone finished dancing, everyone had an idea of how they had performed.
Since the host has mentioned before that this score is more important, although he didn’t say it explicitly.
However, contestants with lower scores have already started to worry that they will be at a disadvantage when choosing songs later because of their low scores.
However, the subsequent competition system is a little different from what everyone expected.
The program team directly threw out four sets of songs.
These four groups of songs correspond to four styles, namely: classic old songs, popular music, online hits and folk songs.
The host first cue Fu Qingyan, who was a mentor for the first time, and asked him to choose a group that he was interested in from the four groups.
Fu Qingyan chose folk songs.
As soon as he finished speaking, the names of six folk songs appeared on the screen.
Some of them are familiar to everyone, but there are also two that are very obscure.
After Fu Qingyan finished speaking, it was Wen Yunxuan's turn.
He chose classic old songs.
Following the same process as before, the program team presented six alternative songs.
Afterwards, Sheng Yan and Xu Beizhou successively chose popular music and online hits.
The program team selected a total of twenty-four songs for everyone this time.
Different styles and types.
There are many songs with excellent arrangements and lyrics.
But at the same time, there are also a lot of shoddy songs mixed in.
Especially the section of online divine songs.
The level of the lyrics is slightly lower than that of the previous three sections.
Although there were one or two good works, there was no way to resist the shock of the contestants when they saw the song "Mist".
A netizen once commented that the best part of this song is its title.
"Mist" may seem to have a hazy beauty at first glance, but in fact the lyrics are extremely vulgar and brainless, and the arrangement is also very rustic.
The reason why this song became popular is all due to the climax part, which has a meaningless melody that is as boring as a rap song.
Therefore, even if the audience of this song is mostly just following the trend and using the climax as the BGM of a short video.
Almost no one will take the initiative to find and listen to the full version.
After all, the audience also knows that this kind of song is not worth listening to except for the climax.
Therefore, when almost all the contestants saw this song appear in the alternative playlist, they were shocked and began to pray that this song would not fall on them.
After all, few people present were confident that they could handle this song.
If you want to stand out, you must give this song a complete makeover and change the lyrics and music.
But let’s not talk about whether they can be improved or not, the program team didn’t give them much time to make corrections.
After all the songs were announced, various discussions were heard at the scene.
"Director Song, how do you divide this song?"
Some people were so scared that they couldn't help but ask the director.
Director Song didn't say anything, but the segment had already reached this point, so the host naturally told everyone the rules.
"You should have noticed that the songs this time are divided into four sections."
"There are exactly four of us in the team."
"Therefore... each team led by a mentor will perform songs from a corresponding section."
After hearing the host say these words, the contestants all turned their attention to their mentors.
I hope my mentor can be more normal and not choose any internet hit songs.
The contestants had just thought this when the host spoke again.
"But this time, each team will vote on their songs."
"The mentors do not participate in the song selection process. The style of each group's songs is determined by the contestants' votes."
Because they were too nervous, many people did not understand the rule and began to ask people around them.
The rapper was really confused by this rule and quickly asked Su Xingyao beside him for help.
"Cat, do you understand what I mean?"
Su Xingyao looked up at the four sets of songs on the big screen before speaking.
"If I understand correctly, we should choose songs for other teams."
"For example, for the classic song option, if you think it's suitable for Teacher Wen Yun's team, then you can vote for them. If our team is suitable for popular music, then you can vote for us. And so on..."
After hearing Su Xingyao's explanation, the rapper's face changed.
Then our fate is in the hands of others...
No. 77 complained, “Everyone’s fate is in the hands of others.”
Since everyone has participated in the competition, they all know that this stage is extremely cruel.
It’s just that no one had felt it so clearly before…
But as soon as the mutual voting rules came out today, everyone knew that the previous superficial peace and love would definitely be torn apart.
But at the moment they don’t know what it will look like.
The rappers here had just figured out the rules, and before they had time to discuss how their team should respond, they were called away individually by the staff.
The production team did not give everyone time to discuss and placed everyone in different rooms.
Then they were given a card.
One is the plate you want, and the other is the plate allocated to other teams.
The staff emphasized that if the group receives the most votes from other contestants, then the entire group can only choose songs to sing from the corresponding module.
And everyone knows that the module of Internet divine songs is the most difficult and hardest to sing well, so when voting, everyone is thinking, which group to vote for this module?
Whether to be cruel or soft-hearted towards others depends entirely on one thought.
No one wants to put the Internet hits in their own group, so which group these songs should be put into is a question worth pondering...
24 images were displayed on the monitor, and most people were extremely anxious.
Except Su Xingyao, rapper and another contestant.
Because the three of them were told that they were directly deprived of the right to vote because they had the lowest scores in the dancing segment.
Correspondingly, the top three contestants in the dancing segment will each have one more voting opportunity.
This means that ordinary contestants can cast four votes, but the top three can cast five votes, and the votes can be repeated.
After Su Xingyao wrote the song module of her choice on the cardboard, she stared at the camera for a long time out of boredom.
After waiting for a long time and seeing that no one had finished voting, he had no choice but to pick up another blank card that did not allow voting and start drawing a Q-version man on it.
Su Xingyao drew a middle-aged man.
The uncle always has a smile on his face and looks cunning.
After seeing through the camera that the Q-version uncle had only one hair on his head, Song Yingming almost spit out his tea.
Wow, you are the director of connotation, right? ! !
Fifteen minutes later, everyone had finally voted.
Everyone came out with an uneasy look on their face, not sure what style of song their team would be assigned to.
No. 77 clasped his hands nervously and continued his online practice.
"No more internet divine songs, no more internet divine songs."
The other members of Sheng Yan's team also joined in after seeing this. "That's great. No internet hits, any other will do."
When people from other teams saw this, they also followed No. 77 in praying.
For a moment, the contestant seats were like a large-scale practice site.
After everyone waited here nervously for more than twenty minutes, they were mysteriously called back to the room they had just been in by the program crew.
“Now we will announce the results of the mutual voting.”
"After the results come out, the contestants will start selecting songs."
The director's voice filled all the rooms.
The screens in front of the contestants lit up immediately.
Because the sound insulation of the room was not very good, Su Xingyao heard cheers from the next room the next second.
He was smiling so happily, probably because he got the style he wanted.
After hearing others’ cheers, Su Xingyao began to feel confused again.
Because he found that the screen in front of him did not display anything useful except the names of the 24 songs that kept jumping back and forth.
"Director, is this broken?"
He couldn't help but look up at the camera.
The camera swayed left and right twice to indicate that he was fine.
Su Xingyao couldn't get an answer and could only continue staring at her big screen patiently.
Only after he had memorized the names of all 24 songs by heart did the picture on the screen finally stop jumping.
Then Su Xingyao finally figured out why his screen was different from others.
Because he had no choice.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was the four big words "Internet Divine Song".
The contestants from other teams voted for songs of this style to their group.
Su Xingyao was not surprised. She just stared at the screen with a smile, wanting to see what her song was.
Ten seconds later, the four big words on the screen disappeared, and were replaced by two other words.
The Mist
This song that no one wanted to sing was assigned to him.
Su Xingyao said nothing about the result and just let out a sigh of relief.
There was only one thought in his mind now.
Feudal superstition is unacceptable!
There is no use in doing this~
