The faint blue lights were like dotted snowflakes floating on the stage. When the last accompaniment faded away, there was a moment of silence, followed by a wave of applause.
"That's amazing!! I was stunned just now!!"
"I cried when I heard it..." A boy wiped his slightly moist eyes and exhaled, "I didn't feel much when I heard this song in the cinema, but I don't know why I felt so bad just now... so bad."
“It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best sound I have ever heard!”
"Ah! Ah! How can someone who looks like this sing like this? Can the Creator not be so partial? When I first saw this guy's face, I thought he was just a pretty face, but I didn't expect him to kneel down as soon as he opened his mouth!! Amazing!!"
"I dare say he will definitely make it to the debut position. He is definitely a great vocalist!"
Although the level of the participants was not bad, there was definitely a gap between them, and each student had their own areas of expertise and weaknesses. Most of the students had to admit in their hearts that they were indeed not as good as Ye Ying in terms of singing skills.
They didn't know how to describe their feelings. The boy's voice was clear and clean, without deliberately showing any skills, but every word, every turn of tone and even every breath was so appropriate. People who have seen "City of Mirrors" will unconsciously have frames of the scene in their minds, and those who have not seen it can also deeply empathize with it. They understand the joy and hope in the song, and also hear the loneliness and regret hidden behind the hope.
Through the sound, everyone saw a gentle, beautiful, yet regrettable story.
Ye Ying really didn't expect the reaction on the spot to be so big. He had never studied music professionally, but his classmates often said that he had a nice voice, but he never thought he was that good.
The voices of praise and recognition far exceeded his expectations. The boy's earlobes turned a faint pink. He gripped the microphone tightly and bowed earnestly to the front.
"This is the power of music." Wang Henian picked up the microphone. "Even if you have never heard this song, don't know the background story, or even don't understand the lyrics, as long as the performer's emotions are in place, you can naturally enter the scene he or she has created, experience his or her joys and sorrows, and imagine a good story for yourself."
Luo Ziteng looked deeply at the boy on the stage and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Ye Ying answered truthfully: "Two months to eighteen."
"It's amazing that you can sing like this at the age of 18." Luo Ziteng said pertinently, "But your singing quotient surprises me even more. Keep your current mentality and keep learning, and you can go a long way on this path."
This was a very high evaluation. The students present couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Ye Ying had never thought that her instructor would affirm her in this way. She bowed deeply and said thank you, teacher.
Pei Changxu also looked at his profile card with interest and asked, "You can't dance?"
"yes."
"Not at all?"
The boy pursed his lips slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Although I am also captivated by your voice, if you have no dancing foundation, Teacher Fan and I will not let you pass easily." Pei Changxu said, "The boy group needs members who are good at singing and dancing. Both are indispensable."
Ye Ying completely understood. In fact, he did not come to this talent show to debut, and he did not even think about getting any good results. After all, he was a far cry from words like "boy band" and "star". He had already prepared for the first round, so his suitcase was full of summer clothes, and he did not take any thick clothes.
The four instructors discussed it and finally gave him a B grade.
"This shows that you still have a lot of room for improvement," Pei Changxu winked at him, "I look forward to seeing your progress in dancing."
This result was beyond his expectations. Ye Ying didn't know what to feel. He bowed again, stepped down and returned to his seat. Unlike when he came, he was not noticed at all. On his way back to his seat, many students on both sides of the aisle were looking at him, and some smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
In fact, Ye Ying was not very good at handling this kind of occasion, nor was she very good at getting along with others. It was not until she walked back to her seat and sat down that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Qiu Shuang came back and patted Ye Ying on the shoulder as soon as he sat down, with an amazed look on his face: "I was so engrossed in the backstage just now, and only reacted when the director called me to the stage! You are really amazing!"
"That's too much." The temperature of Ye Ying's ear was rising again, and she whispered, "You are also amazing."
Qiu Shuang also got a B grade. He is good at singing and dancing, and is the kind of sunny and energetic boy who is very attractive. He accepted the compliment and smiled cheerfully: "Now we can study in the same class!"
After the initial stage evaluation, students of the same level will be assigned to the same class and will train and attend classes together.
The rating continued, and after a few students passed by, the highlight finally arrived.
"Here we go!" Someone rubbed his hands excitedly, "We're at Fenghua Entertainment!"
He Xizhou's performance in "Singer-songwriter Era" was impressive. His style was mainly cool rap, with a strong rhythm and unrestrained posture, which was unforgettable. All the students, including the instructors, thought that he would blow up the stage as soon as he came on stage, but unexpectedly, Fenghua Entertainment Group chose a lyrical song "betternow".
Fenghua Entertainment is a large company with several first-line stars, and the newcomers signed by them are also of very high quality and strength. The five boys are all tall, long-legged and handsome, but at first glance, the most eye-catching one is the boy standing in the middle.
He Xizhou seemed to be born with an aura that could not be ignored. His black hair was flamboyant, and the diamond on his right ear was faintly flashing an arrogant red. His long, bony fingers casually held the microphone, and his body swayed twice in a relaxed manner to the rhythm, and he put the microphone to his lips:
“youprobably think that you are better now, better now
youonlysaythatcausei`mnotaround,notaround”
This is a love song with strong emotional tension. He Xizhou opened the song and set the tone. His bright voice had a straightforward and refreshing feeling, and combined with the memorable melody, it caught everyone's ears at once. Several instructors also nodded their heads, with clear appreciation in their eyes.
"ididnotbelievethatitwouldend,no
everythingcamesecondtothebenzooh”
Another voice followed, and everyone felt refreshed. This voice was different from He Xizhou's, a little hoarse, with a very special tone, delicate and rich emotions, which lifted the spirits of many students.
"Fenghua Entertainment is not just about He Xizhou," a student whispered, "Ming Yuechen is also very good, and his popularity is not much less than He Xizhou's."
Besides He Xizhou, the most eye-catching performance on the stage was the boy wearing silver-framed glasses. He was elegant, gentle, and calm, with a pair of upturned phoenix eyes behind the glasses. Although he did not have the strong aura and aggression of He Xizhou, he was another type that could attract girls' attention.
Although the other three students were not outstanding, their performances were very stable, and it was obvious that they had rich stage experience. The five of them worked well together. Although there was no explosive metal music, the brainwashing chorus and the relaxed and unrestrained dance quickly brought up the atmosphere on the scene. The air seemed to be heating up, and the students stood up involuntarily, tapping their toes to the beat, and sang loudly along with the people on the stage:
"youprobably think that you are better now, better now~
youonlysaythatcausei`mnotaround, notaround～”
This doesn't feel like a first-stage rating, it's more like a live concert with a lively atmosphere!
He Xizhou seemed to feel a little hot. He pulled his collar with one hand, picked up the microphone, and lowered his eyes slightly:
"iseenyouwithyourotherdude
he seemed like he was pretty cool
iwassobrokenoveryou
life it goes on, what can you do?"
Different from the clear and bright voice at the beginning, the boy's voice suddenly became more lazy and casual, with a kind of disguised unrestrainedness, which vividly sang the scene in the lyrics: the girl he liked turned around and left, holding someone else's hand, and the boy pretended not to care on the surface because of his self-esteem, but he couldn't help feeling pain and confusion in his heart.
This kind of place is the most difficult to grasp. If you use too much force, it will appear depressed, and if you use too little, it will easily become relaxed and lively, losing its original flavor. Ye Ying listened to the boy's voice and remembered a word that Luo Ziteng mentioned when evaluating him just now, singing business.
He Xizhou on stage is not as aggressive and aggressive as others say, and he is not only good at rapping. He is telling everyone with his actions that he can attract everyone's attention in any form as long as he wants.
This is the highest level group that has appeared so far. The instructor also gave a high evaluation of Fenghua Entertainment. Pei Changxu affirmed: "This is the standard line of a boy group in my mind."
As expected, He Xizhou and Ming Yuechen received an A rating, and the other three players were all rated B. This is the team with the highest overall rating so far.
Wang Henian and He Pingqiu are old acquaintances. He is obviously quite interested in He Xizhou. Looking at the tall and handsome boy on the stage, he asked, "I'm very curious. You are already quite famous and you can develop well as a solo artist. Why do you want to participate in this boy group talent show?"
This is also a question in the minds of many students.
Unexpectedly, He Xizhou said bluntly: "Actually, I don't want to come either."
Wang Henian: “Hmm?”
"My dad forced me to come here. He always thought I was too self-righteous and not humble enough, so he wanted me to come here to see what it means that there are always people better than you," He Xizhou smiled, with a bit of frivolity, "but I think it's a bit difficult."
As soon as these words came out, there was a small commotion at the scene. The expressions on the students' faces were wonderful, and no one expected He Xizhou to say such crazy words.
According to what he said, he was actually certain that there was no one stronger than him in this camp!
Wang Henian knew that his old friend's son was arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant. His smile deepened and he deliberately asked, "So, you are confident that you can become the final center?"
He Xizhou curled his lips and said, "I can lose my head and bleed, but I'd rather die than give up the C position. If anyone here can take the C position from me, I will willingly apologize for what I said today."
"Okay." Wang Henian said meaningfully, "Then let's wait and see."
The first stage was recorded from 8 am to 9 pm. At this point, all the students finished their performances and the first day of recording finally came to an end. Ten hours of filming made everyone exhausted. After the director announced the disbandment, all the students rushed to the dormitory area.
The dormitories are all six-person rooms, and the beds have been allocated in advance. Basically, students of different levels can stay in one room, which is convenient for everyone to communicate and learn with each other. If you want to change rooms and beds, you can do so after negotiation.
Ye Ying was in bed number 6 in dormitory 211. When he found the room and went in, there was already someone inside. It happened to be a student whom Ye Ying had a deep impression of - Li Jingfei, the first person to get an A rating.
Li Jingfei was in bed number 5, just below Ye Ying. Ye Ying remembered that he seemed to be quite cold. She was hesitating whether to say hello, but Li Jingfei had already looked at him and asked, "Do you need to change seats?"
Ye Ying didn't react: "Huh?"
"I'm fine with either bunk bed or upper bunk bed," said Li Jingfei.
